Chapter 397: She's in the Mansion

I looked down and thought about it, and decided to be silent for a moment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I stood aside, still holding the wooden box brought by the flower garden, and patiently listened to Yuan Xiu continue to talk to the guards.

Yuan Xiu also stood on one side, looking at the guard guarding the path as he spoke.

The man's gaze passed over me again and again.

It reminds me of the way the Dark Guard looked at me when he first arrived at the camp in the mountains.

Yuan Xiu finally sensed that something was wrong, and guessed that the other party was suspicious of my identity.

Yuan Xiu stepped forward, took the box I was holding, then looked at the guard and explained to him, "Xiao Lin is a craftsman who works in the courtyard. ”

"He's drawn from the camp, and maybe you've heard of it."

The man listened to Yuan Xiu's explanation, his eyes continued to lock on me, and his eyes moved.

Yuan Xiu paused and continued: "The place where he lives is very close to our flower garden. ”

Yuan Xiu was a little nervous, and her words stammered: "Well, I mean...... The distance between the two sides is not much different. ”

The guards stood in place, looking at Yuan Xiu calmly.

Listening to her say a few words in quick succession, the guard nodded.

In fact, from my point of view, Yuan Xiu's explanation seems to be a little weak.

The man's eyes fluttered a little when he looked at me, and he asked me later, "You came here to help her get something?" ”

It still sounds calm and self-contained, how similar to the secret guard I dealt with!

I frowned, this question was a bit strange, but since I had already asked, I couldn't help but answer.

"Yes."

After thinking about it, I responded with only one word.

The guard's gaze finally changed direction, and this time he turned his head to look at Yuan Xiu and said, "The flowers and plants that you want to send from the flower garden can be handed over to me." ”

"This ...... The ...... who was going to be sent to the attic and handed over to the National Teacher's side"

The guard said affirmatively, "I'll send it to the attic." ”

In this way, we didn't have a chance to step onto the curved bridge and take a look at the surrounding situation!

I was disappointed in my heart, and I couldn't reveal it in the face of this scene, so I had to look at Yuan Xiu and said calmly: "Since this is the case, the box will be handed over to him." ”

There was no chance to get to the curved bridge...... It looks like the last time someone broke into the backyard in the house, the guards here are going to be even tougher at night!

I remembered when I was looking at the attic from afar in the trees on the shore of the lake...... It was a long way from the curved bridge, and I didn't have the courage to approach it.

Yuan Xiu looked at him, handed over the box with a bit of embarrassment, and whispered to the guard: "This is what the National Teacher wants, you have to be careful." ”

"My grandfather is taking care of these pots of flowers!"

"This flower is also precious...... Usually in the flower garden, even I rarely touch it. ”

The guard nodded, "Okay." ”

I was infected so quickly, and it's a way to respond with one word.

Yuan Xiu looked at the big box again and said to me, "Xiaolin, that ...... Let's go back, Master Wan, they may be waiting for you! ”

When I turned around to leave, Yuan Xiu was one step ahead of me.

The moment I turned around, my sleeve was suddenly tugged.

I looked back in amazement, and the man handed me something.

Ignoring my heartbeat reaction when I took it...... Ignoring my surprised eyes, he quickly turned and walked away.

The big boxes of flowers and plants we brought with us were naturally taken away by him.

He had already said that he would deliver it to its destination.

Heading north from the trail is the gateway to the backyard, and the guards are in the opposite direction to us.

...... Yuan Xiu was in front, walked out of a paragraph, looked back at me and called: "Xiaolin!" ”

She glanced at the guard's back, as if she didn't understand why I was standing still and not leaving.

I can't calm down at all!

When I followed Yuan Xiu and walked back, the whole person was in a complete trance.

I clenched my palms, followed Yuan Xiu through the road in the forest, turned a corner and walked back.

"Xiaolin, you haven't had a chance to go to Quqiao to see, are you disappointed like me last time?"

Yuan Xiu glanced sideways at me, and my state must have been extremely disappointed in her eyes.

I couldn't answer for a while, so I just looked at her and nodded.

Yuan Xiu comforted me: "Xiaolin, it's okay!" ”

She muttered, "If you want me to say, it's actually nothing to look at." ”

"Xiaolin, even if we are lucky, we can cross the curved bridge, we can walk to the other side, and then ......"

She stopped suddenly, looking at me without blinking.

"Yuan Xiu, what do you want to say?"

After retracting my thoughts, I took a deep breath and looked at her as calmly as I spoke.

"Xiaolin, I mean, even if we are lucky enough to get to the other side, we won't be able to enter the attic then."

"Because we can't see the national teacher at all."

Yuan Xiu's eyes were a little melancholy and said: "Xiaolin, you must have heard many people in the mansion mention the appearance of the national teacher, but it's a pity that ......"

I looked at Yuan Xiu in surprise, not knowing what the next sentence would be!

"Xiao Lin," Yuan Xiu took a step closer to me, lowered his voice and said a little mysteriously, "I heard that there is an attendant with a straight face beside the National Teacher, that fierce!" ”

"The man's face was cold, as if someone else owed him money and didn't pay it back."

"Where did you hear that? Or have you seen it with your own eyes? ”

Yuan Xiu said to me seriously: "Xiaolin, I listened to the palace maids and sisters in the house. ”

"What else did they say?"

My dull mood was relieved a lot because of Yuan Xiu's description.

"What else can it be, just say that person is very fierce!"

Yuan Xiu looked at me and said in an exaggerated tone.

"I didn't mention it to you just now, and these words also came from among the people in the mansion," Yuan Xiu explained to me, "Although they didn't have a chance to meet the National Teacher, everyone still had a chance to see the attendant next to him." ”

I lowered my head and thought about it, when I first arrived in the Sealand Palace, I dealt with Mo Yan...... I have to admit that they are completely in line with me!

"According to you, we don't have a chance to get to the other side, so we don't have to face that nasty squire, it's lucky, right?"

Yuan Xiu laughed when she heard this, looked at me and made a gesture, and then said in a low voice: "Xiaolin, it's right to think so!" ”

"Yuan Xiu, the guard just now, have you seen it in the mansion before?"

I thought about it and decided to ask.

That man gave me a lot of the same feeling as the Dark Guard from before.

Yuan Xiu and her grandfather have been here longer than me, so maybe they will know.

"I don't know, and I haven't had a chance to see it," Yuan Xiu thought about it carefully, and said in a sincere tone, "These people are probably the guards placed by His Majesty in the backyard to protect the safety of the National Teacher......

Yuan Xiu said with emotion: "Your Majesty is really hearted, so protective, we don't usually go there, it's really not clear." ”

I ignored some of her words, and after thinking about it, I said, "Yuan Xiu, the conversation just now, and the matter of me coming here with you...... Don't even tell your grandpa, I'm worried about ......."

Yuan Xiu looked at me and smiled: "Xiaolin, if you don't remind me, you know not to say it." ”

She said in a sullen tone: "Grandpa has a prejudice against you, and I don't want to argue with him, there is no need for that." ”

"Well, it's good if you understand, I'm afraid of causing trouble."

Yuan Xiu was beside me, and before I knew it, when the two of us were walking in the forest, we distanced ourselves again.

She stopped not far away, looked at me approaching, stared at me and asked, "Xiaolin, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Am I getting worse at disguising?

Even Yuan Xiu can see it.

I shook my head, looked at her and said, "It's a bit of a pity, I'm about to walk to the curved bridge, but unfortunately I still haven't found a chance to pass......"

"Xiaolin, I heard that in a few days, Your Majesty will set off with the National Teacher to the front-line camp, isn't your repaired car going to be for the National Teacher to ride at that time?"

Yuan Xiu reminded me.

The next sentence fell on my ears, and it sounded particularly uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty said that you are not allowed to take him with you in the car, so that it is convenient to take care of him."

For someone else, it is completely inconceivable that this kind of words are associated with the empress.

However, the object is different, even if Yuan Xiu said it, he didn't feel anything inappropriate.

...... Mo Yan didn't expect that he had waited for a long time on the corridor outside the imperial study to see the empress summoned, but he waited for a signal from his own people.

If he wants to talk about the fleeting figure, he is still a little unsure...... The voice I heard later was completely certain.

Because of this, he hurriedly gave an excuse to the female officer who was waiting on the side, and hurried to the backyard.

If it weren't for the urgency, the other party would never risk being discovered by the empress and send a signal to himself in the area of the imperial study.

After thinking about it, Mo Yan felt that it was most likely related to Childe.

...... The figure swept through the forest, and after thinking about it, he was still not very relieved.

Although he flashed in the courtyard near the imperial study, and did not meet anyone else when he passed by the corridor, he didn't know if Mo Yan had received the signal he sent.

At that moment, his eyes swept over, and he clearly saw that there was another female official beside Mo Yan.

If the other party happens to be talking about something important, Mo Yan will be delayed if he doesn't get it right.

He didn't stay long near the imperial study, and then followed the direction he had come from and hid in a forest.

Of course, he would not appear directly in front of Mo Yan recklessly, even if it was in the name of Female Official Liu.

Because there are female officials around Mo Yan, there are a few people stationed in the house...... We'll be able to get in touch with each other.

It must not be lightly exposed until the problem is solved.

This road will be the path that Mo Yan will inevitably pass through following the signal.

...... Mo Yan was intercepted in the middle of the way.

In the night, the figure that appeared in front of him turned out to be the pavilion master Chen Yuqing.

Mo Yan was immediately stunned, a little surprised.

Later, he approached the other party, looked at Chen Yuqing's gloomy face, and once again sat down in his heart to guess.

If you want to make the pavilion master have such a big reaction, it must be something related to Childe.

"She's in the house...... It's been here a long time ago! ”

...... Mo Yan calmed down after the initial shock, he asked himself to come and go to the mansion so many times, he didn't even notice it at all!

Chen Yuqing stared at him and asked, "The people you left in the attic are also your own people?" ”

"Yes, I specially instructed when I was leaving, and no idle people are allowed to put it in, Pavilion Master!"

Mo Yan looked intently at the person in front of him.

The disguised face looked a little unfamiliar, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the voice could be accurately distinguished.

"Even the people who work in the house, even the people who come from the big kitchen to deliver medicinal food, don't have a chance to enter the attic."

Mo Yan stood under the tree, approached Chen Yuqing and said, "Pavilion Master, even if she comes, she won't have any chance to go over." ”

After thinking about it, he emphasized: "She can't even cross the curved bridge, I left someone to intercept it in that area." ”

"The people in our pavilion only came back in the evening, and they have already met with the late arrivals, and they will immediately search the town, including the mountains in this area."

Mo Yan looked at Chen Yuqing intently, observing his expression, and couldn't help asking, "This matter, this person...... What the hell is going to do about it? ”

Chen Yuqing beckoned Mo Yan to approach: "I want to think about it carefully, I can't be in a hurry, and I will act tomorrow......"

...... I walked with Yuan Xiu to the forest near the small courtyard, she reached out and patted her forehead and said, "Xiaolin, I forgot one thing." ”

I looked sideways at her and asked, "Yuan Xiu, what have you forgotten?" ”

"That box of flowers and plants, every time my grandfather came back after going to the backyard, he had to bring it back, and sometimes he brought back the withered flowers and plants over there."

"Aren't all the best ones you pick? How can it wither in just a few days? ”

I felt that something was wrong, and looked at Yuan Xiu and asked in a low voice.

"yes, I also think it's a little strange, I don't know what's going on, my grandfather mentioned it."

"It's not like the National Teacher is in a bad mood......"

After knowing each other for a while, Yuan Xiu showed a dissatisfied look for the first time, she stared at me and said, "Xiaolin, how can the national teacher be such a person, but the attendant next to him...... Maybe if you're in a bad mood, you'll destroy the flowers and plants! ”

"But you haven't seen him!"

"Xiao Lin," Yuan Xiu stopped and looked at me again, "When the National Teacher arrived in Beidi Town, he was very sick, and he lay in the attic all day, and I heard that he couldn't get up. ”

As she spoke, she couldn't help but sigh.

...... Unconsciously, Yuan Xiu and I followed the path in the forest and walked to the boundary of the small courtyard where the craftsman lived.

I could see the lights on from afar.

When I left, I told Ah Rong that he was probably still waiting for me to go back at this time!

I left with Yuan Xiu, and the location I was going to was more sensitive, so why wouldn't he be curious, if he didn't wait for me, it would be strange!
