After it was completely dark, Zhao Yuliang returned to the East Palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Zhao Yuliang's close attendant Lin Jie immediately sent someone to inform the people in the food department to bring the prince's dinner.

Dinner was prepared beforehand, so when the chef was notified, they only had to heat up the meal.

Because Chu Xiang's feet were burned by boiling water, she couldn't go to serve the prince for dinner in person tonight, so she said to Yingsu: "You can go for me tonight, anyway, with Wenzhu on your side, you are a careful person, so there should be nothing wrong." ”

Yingsu's face suddenly changed in fright, and she hurriedly excused herself: "I have never waited for His Highness to eat, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well." ”

In fact, she didn't want to go, she didn't want to know him before the matter was clear, and she knew that it would be extremely bad for her. Besides, she had heard that the prince had a fickle and elusive temperament, and she didn't want to be blamed at every turn.

"It's just a matter of setting up the meal and taking a small bite of everything by the way, which is not difficult at all." Wen Zhu answered with a smile on the side.

Yingsu still shook her head again and again, looking like she couldn't avoid it.

"I didn't know you were so timid." Chu Xiang sighed, seemingly a little disappointed, but he didn't force it anymore.

Just as Lin Xiang came to ask if dinner was ready, Chu Xiang told him about his foot injury.

Lin Jian bowed slightly, and when he saw Yingsu standing next to him, he said, "Let her go." ”

Ying Su hurriedly said, "I...... I...... Afraid. ”

Lin Jian suddenly couldn't cry or laugh. But remembering that Yingsu had only just arrived, and was worried that she would make a fool of His Highness because she was too scared, he no longer insisted on it, so he said to Chu Xiang: "I'll do it for you." With that, he helped Wen Zhu take the food away.

Yingsu breathed a sigh of relief.

After Lin Frame and Wen Zhu walked away, Chu Xiang said to Yingsu: "Fortunately, Gonggong Lin treats him with leniency, otherwise you will have to go even if you are afraid." ”

Yingsu didn't dare to speak, and secretly complained in her heart.

People are in the deep palace, and there are many things that they can't do by themselves.

For a moment, she was filled with fear for her future.

But since she finally managed to enter the East Palace, she couldn't give up halfway no matter what.

So even if you are afraid, you have to be brave to face it.

So she suppressed the anxiety in her heart and said, "I...... I'll get used to it, please give me some time. ”

"Actually, Your Highness is very good in all aspects except for a little weird temper, you don't need to be afraid of this." Chu Xiang said.

Yingsu hung her head slightly and didn't say a word.

Chu Xiang hated it a little, squinted at Yingsu and said, "I don't know how many palace maids are looking forward to having the opportunity to meet His Royal Highness, it's good for you to give you a chance." ”

Sometimes she felt that Yingsu was unreasonable, and sometimes she felt that Yingsu seemed to have something unspeakable, and finally she thought that this might be because Yingsu was relatively unclear about the relationship between men and women, so she didn't say anything more.

In Chu Xiang's opinion, this girl seems to be a little different from other palace maids. It was the girl's difference that made her unconsciously worry about her, as if she would get into big trouble one day.

Tonight, the prince's appetite must not be very good, and the food he had served seemed to be brought back without much movement.

After they had finished packing up the food and chopsticks, they went back to their rooms.

This is the end of the day's work.

They relaxed.

It's the time of spring and summer.

The climate is getting hotter and hotter every day.

Especially in the palace, there is not a trace of wind at night, which makes people panic.

Although Yingsu lay down early, she didn't fall asleep, she was waiting.

She knew that in half an hour, it would be the time for the night guards of the East Palace to come out on patrol. She paid special attention to the day shift during the day, and found no one with a black mole in the middle of his forehead.

When the time came, Yingsu immediately walked out of the room.

At night, the left and right Qingdao leaders would patrol back and forth between the main roads in the East Palace and around the prince's residence, and Yingsu only had to walk up the main road if she wanted to meet them.

Before today, she didn't dare to look at their faces in such a way, but as time went on, she slowly gained courage.

Therefore, today is the first time she has taken action against the soldiers who are left and right to clear the Dao. Before this, she had only seen the faces of the people on the left and right of the prison gates.

When she walked to the main road of the East Palace, she found that there were exactly three guards patrolling in front of her.

And she walked towards them.

When they saw her, they immediately walked up to her and held up their lamps to her face.

Ying Su hurriedly saluted them, and quickly swept them in the face when the salute was over.

None of them had a mole on their foreheads.

Yingsu quietly withdrew her gaze.

The man at the head asked solemnly, "Which ministry are you from?" What are you doing here on the big night? ”

She truthfully informed the name of the department she belonged to, and then said: "It's a little hot at night, so I want to come out and enjoy the cool." ”

The man said, "It is forbidden for idle people to walk outside at night, but you should take a dip in the shade in the small courtyard of your room." ”

"I've just been here for a short time, so I don't know the rules, so please forgive me. I'll pay attention next time. She blessed them again, and then turned and walked away quickly.

Just ran in the direction of the room, Wen Zhu over there had already hurried towards her and said, "Why did you run out?" It's hard for me to find it for a while. ”

Ying Su hurriedly asked what was wrong.

Wen Zhu took her hand and said as she walked: "Your Highness wants to drink pear syrup, Gonggong Lin just sent someone to look for you, but I didn't find it, so let me help find it, and now His Highness is waiting." ”

His Royal Highness's affairs naturally could not be delayed, and Ying Su hurriedly quickened his pace.

Sydney syrup is not difficult to make, so Wenzhu did not come to help.

There was only one person in the kitchen.

Half a year ago, Yingsu was still a young lady who did not touch the spring water with her fingers, and she had only plans to enter the palace under a pseudonym after being rescued by the Jin family from the river, and she found that the food cooked by the Jin family was very delicious, so she followed the Jin family to learn cooking for five months. At present, she has done such hand and foot skills as chopping vegetables and peeling melons and fruits.

She peeled Sydney's skin intently, while enjoying the time she had alone.

The pear was quickly peeled, and she cut it into small well-proportioned cubes and stewed it in a small clay pot along with the scallops and lilies.

In fact, people like the prince who don't have a very good spleen and stomach are not suitable for eating pears often, but Yingsu heard Chu Xiang say that the prince's favorite fruit in his life is pears, so she didn't dare to say anything, but she deliberately adjusted the amount from the previous two bowls to one bowl.

The water slowly boiled, and the fragrance of Sydney wafted out.

Yingsu looked at the fire and thought about her heart.

Whenever she was there, she thought of her parents and her brother, of their lying in a pool of blood.

The grief spread in the bottom of her heart, down to every nerve, and tears flowed all over her face unconsciously.

If it weren't for the belief in her heart to support her, she would have gone with them half a year ago.

So far, she has seen the faces of a total of twenty-nine Donggong guards, and has not found the person she is looking for.

Nowadays, almost all the people on the left and right prison rates and the left and right clearance rates have been looked at by her, and nothing has been found.

The remaining six rates of people are not something she can easily see.

If you want to make a breakthrough, you have to keep thinking of ways.

In fact, she thought of a solution, but she didn't have the money and guts to do it right now.

So she had to settle for the next best thing - to find clues on her own.

Things were getting harder, but she didn't despair. She didn't allow herself to despair, because if she did, there would be no hope at all.

The boiling water pushed the lid straight up under the action of heat, Yingsu leaned over to open the lid, took a few pieces of rock sugar from the jar on one side and put them down, and gently stirred them with a spoon.

She didn't know, and she never imagined, that on this quiet, hot night, there was a person watching her quietly not far from the kitchen.
