Xiao Si walked step by step on the misty lakeside path.

After a while, I saw a familiar person walking over from the other side with a casual smile on his face.

The scar-faced man approached Xiao Si and said, "Everything is arranged, and there should be news tomorrow night." ”

"You're fast." Xiao Si glanced at him and said, "It's someone sent out by the palace?" ”

The scar-faced man rubbed his head and said, "The people in the palace are only responsible for delivering the news, and they are spies in the head of the national capital. ”

"She's a local, so it's not a hassle to investigate thoroughly" The scar-faced man paused in his tone, looked at Xiao Si and continued, "Since you want to know clearly, I'll help you!" ”

Xiao Si turned his head to stare at the scar-faced man's face with a stern expression, and Liang Liang glanced at him without answering.

The scar-faced man stepped forward and asked, "The fog by the lake is too thick, are you going to explore the palace banquet tonight?" ”

Xiao Si shook his head and said, "If Childe doesn't go, I'll save a lot of trouble." ”

"So, that nasty ghost you saw in Penglai Pavilion just now," Scarface said, his eyes lit up, "You confirmed with him?" ”

"That's right, Childe hasn't woken up yet." Xiao Si lowered his head and said.

"You go back first, I still have somewhere to go." Xiao Si said to the scar-faced man before leaving.

The latter raised the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly, and looked at Xiao Si with a faint smile

In the courtyard in the southwest corner, there was a commotion on the road outside the wall, and there was a sound of swearing.

The person who was feeding the fish by the pool paused, glanced at the courtyard, and the palace maid beside him said, "Beauty." I'm going to see what's going on outside.

The man by the pool did not answer immediately, but lowered his eyelids and thought for a while before saying, "When you go, don't open the door entirely." “

He told the little palace maid: "You only need to take a look." What people pass by! "Okay," the maid nodded, "Listen to you." “

Not long after, she hurried back to the inner courtyard, walked to the edge of the pool and said to him, "Guess who?" "Come at this time," the poolside man said in a deep voice with a slight hesitation in his tone, "I listened to the voice." It seems to be the one! "You guessed it!" The little palace maid's eyes lit up first, and then she whispered, "That's the one." If you knew what he came back for, I am afraid that you would not even believe you. “

The man by the pool lowered his eyelashes and looked at her quietly. "Tell me about it." This time, the people by the pool put down the fish food basin in their hands, rested on the edge of the pool, and walked back to the pavilion on the side.

The little palace maid followed him step by step.

He walked into the pavilion. Sitting on a stone bench. The half game of chess left on the stone table is still there, and the chess pieces are scattered on the chessboard, which looks a little sparse. "What's going on?" He reached out and tapped the chessboard with his knuckles, looked at the little palace maid and raised his eyebrows and asked.

The little palace maid came to him and stood still, blinked her eyes and hurriedly said, "The one who ran to the venue of the palace banquet got unexpected news. "Su Guijun separated the beauties in the palace from Guijun this time."

The eyes of the people in the pavilion flashed slightly, and as if in thought, he glanced at the little palace maid. Wait for the following. "It's His Majesty who is in the inner courtyard with those people, and they are divided into the outer court." The little palace maid took a breath and said, "As a result, this group of people who want to squeeze in with their heads are making trouble outside the venue. "The one in the south of us who made the most trouble, and your lord never appeared, and it was the palace maid below who persuaded them." "I didn't want to persuade him, I couldn't say it, and the trouble became more and more fierce, and in the end, your lord asked the guards to arrest him, and sent him back directly, I heard that he had to be grounded." "I see." The people in the pavilion looked at the little palace maid with a faint face, and then sighed and muttered to themselves, "He was also too much to hold back, and as a result, he became the first to be driven out." “

His eyes deepened, and his tone was a little lower: "If I had all his words ready, I wouldn't have rushed out to make trouble at that stall no matter what." "Who said it wasn't, just now it was the guards who brought him back, sent him to the courtyard, and closed the gate directly."

The little palace maid said in a low voice: "But there is also a benefit, he is grounded for a few months, and he will not come to disturb the beauty, you are much quieter here." “

The people in the pavilion silently looked down at the chess pieces on the table, did not answer, and after a while, he reached out and slowly tossed the scattered chess pieces on the chessboard. "After the guards sent him back, did he stay outside?" He frowned and glanced at the little palace maid, and said in a soft tone. "What you said seems to have been seen with your own eyes," the little palace maid couldn't help admiring, "it was stayed, and I heard that you should guard him so that he doesn't come out." "That's what your lord means," the little palace maid snapped her fingers, and said the way, "Everyone in the palace will figure out the direction of the wind, recently everyone knows that your monarch is on the throne, offended the palace maid under him, can there be good fruit to eat?" "Actually, everyone came to persuade them, so they went down the steps." "If you can't catch the opportunity this time, I'll wait for the next time to find a chance to get close to Your Majesty," the little palace maid said with emotion, "It's good now, let alone inside or outside, it's grounded, and I don't even have the opportunity to walk around the palace." "Actually, it's okay, if he stays in the hospital, he can also cultivate himself." The person in the pavilion lowered his voice and said, "Don't come out and think about causing trouble again." "You seem to be a little upset?" The little palace maid observed his expression, figured out what he meant, and asked, "Are you worried that Your Majesty will blame you together with the beauties of the southwest piece, or are you worried about your monarch?" "Don't worry," the people in the pavilion raised their heads and glanced at the palace maid and said, "Your Majesty won't care about these little things, the matter of the palace banquet was originally handed over to the emperor and your monarch to prepare." "In the past, there were very few cases of palace banquets and celebrations colliding together."

The little palace maid tilted her head and thought for a while and asked, "What do you mean?" "This time, it's really a coincidence," he explained to the little palace maid, "There are too many things for the emperor, and you have to go outside the palace to prepare for the celebration." “

"The celebration is more important than the palace banquet, not to mention, it is impossible for the emperor and the emperor to let others do it."

The people in the pavilion glanced at the little palace maid. He bowed his head to the chessboard and said, "Speaking of which, as soon as the others walk away, it is like handing over the dominance of this palace banquet to Su Hyun." “

When he looked up, his eyes suddenly narrowed: "Someone is stirring up trouble in Su Hyun's place." Eat some lessons, do you need to talk about it? "He won't be angry with others, if I guess correctly, this time the palace banquet should be able to get some rewards from your lord."

The people in the pavilion sighed faintly and said: "What Su Xun wants is that the people below are convinced and obedient, and the rewards and punishments are clear." “

The people in the pavilion said that the little palace maid began to nod, and before long she said: "It has nothing to do with us, the beauty doesn't even want to participate in the palace banquet, just because she can't afford to hide." Rest early. “

The people in the pavilion sat for a long time, and once again got up and went to the edge of the pool, looking at the water and quietly distracted.

It's getting dark. The fog in the palace was getting thicker and thicker, and when he looked up, the sky was a little foggy.

The little palace maid stayed by his side and looked at him and asked, "Do you want to go and see that one?" ”

She hasn't been with her master for a day or two, although she can't guess all of her master's thoughts. You can guess fifty percent.

"I just wanted to check it out. I'm afraid that he thinks I'm going to see his jokes, but it won't be good, so I just wait for two more days, at least after the celebration, and the rumors in the palace subside, and I won't be too late to see it. ”

"Hurry up to see it at this time, I'm afraid there are a lot of people out there who are making fun of him, so I won't go to block him."

"You mean well." The little palace maid said in a low voice.

"Good intentions don't work. He'll misinterpret it. ”

I could already hear footsteps not far away, but I didn't have any strength left. The wound was so painful that it was almost numb, so I had to move in vain deeper into the grass.

If you run into someone from the Patrol, you're lucky!

I waited helplessly for the man to get closer and closer.

A beautiful face appeared among the bushes, and when I looked over, I was suddenly stunned, it was her!

Liang Xue had a nervous and scared expression on her face, and her eyes also turned to me.

It was a few seconds late for her to clear the bushes and cross the weeds and make a quick run towards where I was hiding.

She crouched down and looked at me in surprise and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

The next moment, she looked at the blood stains on my clothes and said in shock: "Wasn't it okay when we were separated, how did it get like this?" ”

"Did you run into someone from the Patrol? Xiaoling? ”

I gritted my teeth and said with difficulty: "Now is not the time to speak, can you find a way to help me hide for a while, or find someone for me." ”

Liang Xue stretched out her hand and opened my sleeve, frowned, and said, "This doesn't work, this doesn't work, how did you do it, the wounds are all blood?" ”

"Could it be that the patrolmen stabbed the wrong person with a weapon, and this is not a sword wound?"

Liang Xue turned her gaze to my other hand that was holding it tightly and asked, "Are there any other injuries on my body?" What the hell is going on with you? ”

When Liang Xue went back, she carefully observed the surroundings to make sure that no one else was passing by, and then told me to hide myself well, and if I didn't hear her voice, I must not come out of the grass.

I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling tiredness coming over me, leaning my back against the tree, and slowly closing my eyes.

Before she returns, at least save the body and not do unnecessary waste.

Looking back on the time I met her, it seems that for now, I can only bet on the trust I received during the same training

Liang Xue walked quickly around the path and returned to the house where Zhao Meiren lived in the shortest time.

The light was still on in the study, and although she had not been here for a long time, she was still very familiar with her master's routine.

It's just that at this hour, in addition to the palace maids who were waiting in front of him were sent away, it was time for him to rest, and the reason why the lights were turned on Liang Xue guessed might be because tonight was an unusual day for the people in the palace.

Liang Xue stood at the foot of the steps and calmed down, walked over and knocked on the door gently.

The man who was looking down to paint in the room was suddenly stunned, put down the pen in his hand and asked softly, "Who is it?" “

"It's me." Liang Xue got permission, pushed the door and walked in, standing at the desk of that Zhao Meiren, looking at him hesitantly and saying, "Can I ask you for one thing." ”

Zhao Meiren lowered her eyelashes and added a stroke to the painting: "Aren't you thinking about taking the opportunity to leave the palace tonight?" ”

"I told you, it's impossible," he said after a pause, "and we can discuss something else." ”

"It's not for my business," Liang Xue pursed her lips and plucked up her courage to say, "I have a sister who came to the palace together, because she offended the steward and was punished and injured, can you ask for some medicine for her." ”

"Sisters?" The person standing at the desk was slightly stunned, looked at Liang Xue, looked at her for a few seconds, and asked, "Could it be that you are also working under Su Guijun and being punished?" ”

"No, no," Liang Xue was a little flustered, facing those extraordinarily clear eyes, it would be a little difficult to lie, "I can't tell you the details for a while, but please believe that my sister is a good person and a poor person." "She escaped, she was injured, I just begged you to help her."

"I'm not here to get out of the palace."

After Liang Xue finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Meiren nervously, waiting for his response nervously

Xiao Si wandered in the forest, passed a few intersections, and suddenly heard footsteps from the opposite side, and he flew to hide in the tree with almost no effort.

Look through the branches and foliage at the people who pass underneath.

Those two people were wearing the clothes of palace attendants, but when they walked in, they were different from Xiao Si's own.

He looked at it, thought about it, and immediately recognized the source of the clothes, which were equivalent to the miscellaneous servants in the palace, so the texture of the clothes was inevitably a little worse.

Xiao Si held his breath and listened to the conversation between the two people passing under the tree.

"Say, what's going on? Obviously a kid came in the morning, and I heard that the female official sent him to do chores, why did he disappear in a blink of an eye? ”

With the faint smell of wine wafting in the wind, Xiao Si slowly lowered his head on the tree and glanced at the palace people passing by.

One of them looked at the other with a depressed expression and said, "Hell in broad daylight." ”

"According to me, you drank too much and looked away, and you remembered something wrong, right?" Sounds disdainful.

"I haven't drunk in the morning, don't talk nonsense!"

A trace of confusion flashed in the man's eyes, and he held his head and said, "I remember I also asked that kid, I heard that he grew up in the south, and he is very good at water and can drive boats, so I asked him to open the lake to clean up." ”

Xiao Si sensitively caught the key words in their conversation, squinting his eyes and looking at the two people condescendingly.

"You're talking nonsense, how many times have you been drunk since you beat me into this place?" "Our boss said in front of everyone, if you get drunk and delay your work, he will throw you into the lake to feed the fish!"

The two of them had a fight, and the other said, "I haven't accompanied you to the lake, and you have seen it with your own eyes when both boats are parked well." "Besides, there's a lot of fog on the lake, where are the people you're talking about?" (To be continued......)
