There was some confusion in her heart, and Thyme took advantage of the maid's return to light the note directly on the candle.

The note turned to ashes, and Thyme was relieved to blow the ashes that fell on the table to the ground, and deliberately stepped on two feet.

Just after all this was done, the maid returned.

Looking at Thyme sitting at the table casually, the maid didn't think much about it.

Late at night, Thyme couldn't fall asleep on the bed, and the maid was on the soft couch outside the screen.

It's really a bit embarrassing to live under surveillance like this.

Thyme was thinking about how to escape.

Inside the courtyard, a dark shadow flashed.

Thyme only heard the sound of the window paper breaking, and Thyme sat up vigilantly, looking at the location where the voice came from.

But thyme didn't see anything.

The sound of the maid's breathing became weaker and weaker.

Suddenly, the deadbolt moved, followed by the sound of the deadbolt hitting the ground.

Thyme became even more vigilant, gently got out of bed and put on her shoes, and Thyme yelled vigilantly: "Who is it?" ”

The black shadow didn't seem to be scared by Thyme's sobriety, but his body flashed, flashed directly across the screen, and stood in front of Thyme.

The room was not very dark, and thyme could see each other's silhouettes.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you."

The voice of the person who came was a little hoarse, his face was also covered with a black cloth, and he was dressed in black.

"Who the hell are you?" Thyme continued to ask.

She was curious, she spoke so loudly. Why didn't the maid wake up?

The person who came was obviously very anxious, and he didn't explain to the thyme, so he said directly: "The small lake in the garden of the Jin Wangfu is made of living water, which is connected to the moat outside the city, if you want to escape, there is only one way, if you know water, it is the only place you can escape, and the place where the lake is connected to the moat." There is a large wooded area outside. Behind the woods are rolling mountains, and if you want to leave, you have to hide in the mountains, which are the territory of the King of Jin. He's not as simple as you seem. ”

The visitor paused at this point. Then he continued: "Don't try to escape in any other way. There are secret guards everywhere in the palace, even outside your courtyard, there are two who are always watching, and you don't know anything. It's impossible to escape, you're a smart man, and I'm sure you'll be able to think of a way to escape. ”

After speaking, the person didn't give Thyme a chance to speak, and turned around and left.

Thyme looked anxiously at the back of the person who came to leave in a hurry.

Didn't chase it out, Thyme just stepped forward and tied the door.

All night, Thyme didn't fall asleep, and when it was dawn, Thyme got up directly and walked into the yard.

The maid should have been drugged by the person last night, and Thyme never thought of who came last night.

I can't think of it, if what the person said is true, and if you want to leave, you can only escape by water, but you don't know the truth of this matter.

Water, thyme will definitely be, and this point thyme itself is not worried.

Now what she has to worry about is how to go to the garden to see if the situation is the same as what the man said last night, whether the small lake in the Jin Wangfu really leads to the outside.

The lotus flowers inside the lotus pond are beautiful.

Thyme couldn't help but want to reach out and pick it.

At this time, the door of the room was opened anxiously by the maid, probably when the maid woke up, she found that thyme was not in bed, and she was a little anxious.

As soon as the maid rushed out, she saw thyme stretching out her hand to pick lotus flowers, and she was immediately relieved.

"Madame, slave and maid, come and pick it." Saying that, the maid immediately stepped forward and stretched out her hand to help Thyme pick a budding pink lotus.

Thyme took the lotus flower, and the yards were pushed away, and Yan Luo walked in in a green coat.

Yan Luo's face was not very good, and when he walked into the courtyard and saw thyme standing outside, he walked over directly.

Frowning, Thyme glanced at Yan Luo and walked directly into the house.

Yan Luo immediately followed: "The prince said, you have to take out the secret recipe as soon as possible." ”

Thyme turned around and just smiled contemptuously at Yan Luo and said, "Why did Xiao Ding still send you to supervise me." ”

Yan Luo didn't deny it, and nodded: "You know my temper, and King Jin is not as good at talking as me." ”

"It depends on my mood, and besides, do you really think I'm so stupid? I want to live two more days. Thyme had a hint of mockery in her voice.

Yan Luo frowned.

"I said, I can let King Jin let you go." Yan Luo seemed a little annoyed by Thyme's distrust.

Thyme sneered: "You said that? Why should I believe you, and why should I believe you, and why have you now betrayed your new master? "Thyme really can't understand how with Yan Luo's status in Southern Xia, how can he be so confused that he betrayed Xiahou Chun and was embarrassed with Xiao Ding.

Yan Luo knew that no matter what he said to Thyme, he couldn't save his image in Thyme's heart.

The maid stood aside and looked at everything in her eyes.

Thyme walked and sat down and poured a cup of tea for herself, because it was last night's tea, and the water was cold.

Yan Luo's eyes looked at thyme with some depth, and he said half-loudly: "Anyway, I said everything I should say, your time is running out, King Jin gave you ten days, and he has no patience to continue playing with you." ”

Thyme just drank the tea, as if she hadn't heard.

Yan Luo left angrily, and Thyme didn't even lift her eyelids.

Such a person doesn't seem to be worth her trouble.

The maid looked at Yan Luo's back as she left suspiciously, and finally stepped forward to Baili and said, "Madam, our prince is talking the same thing, and the slave thinks you should still listen to Yan Gongzi." ”

Thyme's face didn't change.

The maid saw that Thyme couldn't listen to anything, so she could only leave quietly.

Thyme just glanced at the back of the maid leaving the courtyard and continued to drink her tea.

Drinking tea on an empty stomach in the early morning is not good for the body, and thyme is only like this because she is hungry.

She knew in her heart that the maid must have taken advantage of this time to report to Xiao Ding.

Thyme didn't understand why Xiao Ding was so polite to her, and waited so long before she started to force her.

Could it be that Xiao Ding is really a righteous gentleman?

The maid really went directly to Xiao Ding's yard as Thyme thought.

Xiao Ding was drinking porridge in the house at this time.

The maid walked in without being informed.

Obviously, the maid's status in the palace is not low.

"Why are you here, is there something going on over there?" Xiao Ding asked the maid while drinking porridge.

The maid nodded and said, "Something did happen, the prince came to see thyme last night, but the slave fell asleep. ”

Although the maid fainted from last night's incident, she can still remember some suspicious places, not to mention the small hole on the top of the window paper, which is enough to explain the maid's guess.

Xiao Ding's brows furrowed, looked at the maid, and then asked, "Did you notice anything unusual about thyme when you got up this morning?" ”

The maid shook her head directly: "There is no abnormality, by the way, Yan Luo came to find Thyme just now, but Thyme didn't listen to Yan Luo's advice, Yan Luo's meaning is to let Thyme be obedient, and hand over the secret recipe as soon as possible." ”

The only person who thought of being suspicious in Xiao Ding's mind now was Yan Luo.

"Did you say that the person who entered the house last night would be Yan Luo, and when they met today, was there anything abnormal in the expressions of the two?"

The maid shook her head directly: "There is nothing abnormal, the two are still competing against each other, by the way, the slave maid sees that thyme can't hand over the secret recipe so easily, she seems to know our plans, I look at her appearance, she is planning to deal with us." ”

Xiao Ding thought for a while with a complicated face, and then said: "You go down, just keep an eye on the thyme, you don't care about other things, you have been waiting for her well in the past few days, you can satisfy whatever she wants." ”

Xiao Ding knew better than anyone that this matter was in a hurry.

The maid went down, and a small guy behind Xiao Ding immediately said, "What do you think about this matter, Lord Wang?" ”

Xiao Ding smiled coldly: "Using thyme to test Yan Luo is the best candidate, and now it seems that Yan Luo can't fully believe it." ”

Thyme was bored in the yard, and in the end she found something for herself to do, and that was to ask for some medical skills every day.

Although the languages of Southern Xia and Western Xia are somewhat different, the font is the same.

The maid found a lot of medical skills for Thyme, and Thyme sat there and watched it all the time, but it was very comfortable.

It's just that the maid and Yan Luo are bitter, and they will spend a lot of time explaining to Thyme every day.

A few days ago, Thyme was not in a hurry to go to the lake to see, until the seventh day, Thyme felt that the time was almost up, and she should take action.

It's getting dark.

When the thyme filled her stomach, she asked to take a stroll around the big garden, and the maid became vigilant when she heard about it.

After all, thyme has been very honest in recent days, and it is really a bit abrupt to suddenly ask such a question now.

"Madame, it's getting dark at this time, do you want to wait until tomorrow when we go out early?" The maid was very "considerate" in her proposal.

If it had been before, Thyme would definitely agree because she didn't want to get into trouble with others.

But today's thyme is to be able to go out, so naturally it will not be so regular.

"I just want to go out and have a look today, why don't you dare?"

There was a slight smile in Thyme's tone, and it was obvious that there was some mockery in it.

Maybe it's because I can't get used to the tone of Thyme's words, or maybe the maid is really not afraid of Thyme escaping.

Take the thyme and head to the lake.

At this time, the garden seems to be very quiet.

Thyme and the maid walked in the garden, and there was always a sense of tranquility, which was very comfortable.

The maid walked in front and turned back from time to time.

Thyme was looking around. (To be continued......)
