~

Mo Ye reached out and touched her body, took off her clothes and shook it repeatedly, but she still didn't find the small bottle, where was she still in the mood to take a bath at this time?

However, after stripping herself naked, she jumped into the wide and deep tub, but instead of slowly rubbing her skin with her fingers, she held her head, frowned, took a deep breath, and then sinked under the hot water.

At this time, only the feeling of suffocation can make her calm down a little.

By the time she came out from under the hot water, she wasn't as agitated as she had been, but it was because she had found a new reason to convince herself.

Wrapped casually in a piece of clothing on her body, no matter how thin it was, and her hair was still dripping, Mo Ye ran out of the bathing room, looking for it along the path she could think of and had just walked.

So, when the maid who had picked up the small bottle and came to the bathing room, she saw the door wide open, and the empty room was full of water stains.

Fortunately, the water stains in one place slightly reflected some of Mo Ye's footprints, so that the maid looked for Mo Ye's footprints again, and under the condition that the general direction was not wrong, the two were lucky to meet.

Mo Ye took back the small bottle, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, only then did he feel the coldness on his body, although he was shivering, his face was full of joy.

The maid had one less memory in her heart, and her spirit was relieved, but she came to return the bottle, with the intention of asking Mo Ye to help transfer the bottle to Bai Tao, but at this time, as long as the brain was not broken, anyone could see that the owner of the bottle was Mo Ye.

To the maid, it seemed too coincidental.

Therefore, when the maid left, she couldn't help but ask: Miss Mo, this bottle is actually your thing?

Mo Ye nodded instinctively at first, and after a while, she suddenly came back to her senses. For a while, all kinds of thoughts in my mind were intricately intertwined, and for a moment there was a mess.

The maid saw that Mo Ye only nodded and did not speak, she hesitated for a moment before saying: I originally thought it was Sister Bai's, so I came to Miss Mo, and I hope you can help me transfer it. Now that the thing is returned to its original owner, it can save a trip.

The maid said casually, the first time she heard this, there was no problem. However, Mo Ye's lost and found it, once her spirit relaxed, her mind would become much sharper when her mind was calm. Immediately sensed that there was something wrong with the girl's words.

Mo Ye originally wanted to ask her, how do you know that this bottle is a white peach? , but when this sentence was about to reach her mouth, she suddenly changed her words.

Ponder for a moment. She raised her eyes to look at the maid again, her mind had completely calmed down, and a smile appeared on her face: Sister Bai Tao Is there something delayed, you didn't look for her directly?

At the mention of this, a sad look appeared on the girl's face: Sister Bai went out with her front feet. As soon as I turned around, I picked up the bottle, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to catch up with her if I wanted to return it to her. I'm afraid that this bottle will be forgotten if I put it there, because it seems that Sister Bai will go out for a long time, so I came to ask Miss Mo for help.

Mo Ye's heart moved, she was going to ask the maid again, did you watch it fall by the white peach in this bottle? But when it was about to be spoken. She changed her words again, and her tone was only like a casual question: Have been out for a long time? Is there anything important for her to do?

Belch...... The maid suddenly remembered that it seemed that it was because she mentioned it too much. Bai Tao was in a hurry to run to Ye's house, so she hesitated for a while before replying to Mo Ye.

Sister Bai Tao seems to have gone to Ye Mansion. The horseman who was driving the car just now came back and said that the young master was still staying in the Ye Mansion, and he only told Sister Bai Tao the specific reason. I don't know the details, but I can see it. Sister Bai Tao is worried......

What the?

Without waiting for the maid to finish speaking, Mo Ye felt a burst of surprise again, and a trace of sorrow gradually appeared in his heart, and what happened in the early morning resurfaced in front of him.

Combining these fragmented incidents, as well as the causal relationship that they may have, Mo Ye suddenly felt that the chill on the outer layer of his skin seemed to have penetrated into his heart.

But she quickly shook her head again and admonished herself to calm down.

Maybe Bai Tao is there a reason for the incident, maybe he is too worried about Ruan Luo, or maybe Ruan Luo asked Yang Chen to bring her something important and arrange something important, right?

-- What should be the explanation for the fact that it was just a bottle?

I came back from outside, and then waited for the hot water to be ready for bathing, and I didn't go anywhere halfway, if the bottle was lost at the gate, no one else would find it, and it was held until just now, before it was picked up by the girl in front of me.

There may be only one reason, that is, Bai Tao first picked up the bottle she left behind, and then she was left by herself a second time.

But Mo Ye couldn't believe this fact, if a small bottle was lost and regained, and all the twists and turns experienced in the middle were true, then Bai Tao was a person...... Because of her behavior of picking up the bottle and not returning it, her image was shaken for the first time in Mo Ye's heart.

……

If what Mo Ye lost today was just an ordinary bottle of spices, it might not have touched her nerves to be sensitive to this kind of Cheng dù, but this bottle is different! However, if she hadn't left behind such a strange small bottle, perhaps Bai Tao would not have bothered to hide it.

Or...... If Bai Tao hadn't been too anxious to worry about Ruan Luo, she wouldn't have missed this omission.

Is there really such a thing as providence?

……

Seeing that Mo Ye had learned that Ruan Luo had not returned, the expression on his face was somewhat similar to the white peach just now, and the maid who came to return the bottle only thought that Mo Ye was also worried about Ruan Luo, not only did not suspect anything, but also spoke out a few words of comfort.

From the words of this maid's persuasion, Mo Ye understood that this maid had misinterpreted her meaning, but she didn't defend a word, and she accepted it all, because she wanted others to misinterpret her mood at this time, and she was ready to hide the suspicion of Bai Tao that appeared in her heart just now.

After separating from the maid, Mo Ye first went back to his room, thought for a long time, and first hid the small bottle in the pillow core.

When she changed her dress up in the morning, Mo Ye left her two booklets empty in the room, so the rain on the beach did not affect them. But by this time, she had already realized that her bedroom had become very unsafe.

She suddenly remembered Wu Shu's words, and although she was a little reluctant, she still made a decision quickly. Wait until tomorrow, and I will definitely find an opportunity to remove those two booklets, and if I can't hide them, I will destroy them.

As for the small bottles...... Mo Ye sat in silence in the room and thought for a long time, and when she glanced at it, she saw the splendid purse that was also embroidered a little crookedly when she changed out of her daughter's clothes in the morning—it was the self-defense potion bag that Ye Nuonuo gave her—and she suddenly had a fixed mind in her heart.

……

After Cuichun served Concubine De to sleep, she slept on the small bed next to the silk tent as usual, so that when Concubine De had any needs at night, she could respond and get up to serve at any time.

After sleeping in a daze for an unknown amount of time, Cuichun suddenly woke up with a clever wit. But she listened with bated breath for a moment after she woke up. I only felt that the surroundings of Xiaohuai Palace were quiet and peaceful, and it didn't seem like someone had called her.

In the past few days, Qingxia has not stayed in the palace at night, and Cuichun knows. She must have done something for Concubine De, so she was responsible for keeping watch in Concubine De's dormitory for several days in a row. I didn't dare to sleep too deeply for several nights in a row, and Cuichun's spirit was also tired. Suddenly waking up in the quiet environment, and being vigilant for a moment to make sure that it was all right, she could easily think that she was too tired. The mind has been tense for a long time, so there are auditory hallucinations.

However, when she subconsciously glanced at Concubine De's bed, she was taken aback.

Concubine De sat quietly on the bed, and Cuichun clearly remembered that she was serving Concubine De and slept peacefully. She just lay down on the cot beside her.

Cuichun didn't know how long she had been sitting like this before, but she knew that she had been quietly watching her for a long time now, but she didn't see her move her body slightly. Cuichun didn't know if Concubine De was suffering from some strange disease of nocturnal wandering syndrome. In fact, she had never seen Concubine De in such a strange situation at night before, so she was surprised and even a little frightened.

Just when Cuichun didn't know whether to call Concubine De, Concubine De, who hadn't moved like a stone for a long time, turned her face around herself, looked at Cuichun and whispered: Cuichun, come here.

Cuichun's heart was shocked again. If it weren't for listening to Concubine De speak. The familiar voice and intonation rang in her ears, and her tilt of the head looked really weird.

Hear the call. Cui Chun hurriedly climbed down from his small bed and hurriedly approached Concubine De's bed.

Concubine De summoned Cuichun close and asked her to serve her and dress, but she was about to get out of bed. Cuichun was very confused, what was Concubine De going to do in the middle of the night? But on the surface, she didn't ask much about it, maybe she was subconsciously afraid of Concubine De, or maybe she was used to obedience, and most of the time, she only did what her master asked.

Cuichun carefully served Concubine De and put on two sets of clothes, and when Concubine De got out of bed, she suddenly said: You girl, although you don't have the skills of Qingxia, but people are very vigilant!

Cuichun lowered her eyes slightly when she heard this, and said respectfully: The mother is too praised, and the maid is afraid. I don't know if the maid slept restlessly at night, and the noise made the mother rest?

Concubine De didn't say anything about it, just shook her head. She got out of bed according to Cuichun's raised arm, and said softly while walking towards the side hall: I also just woke up, Qingxia is back, you don't have to be on duty in the next few days, have a good rest!

Cuichun's eyes moved, and her tone was still calm, she said slowly: Although Qingxia is outside these days, what she does should not be as easy as in the palace, she just came back, please let her rest for a few more days.

When Concubine De heard this, a smile appeared in her eyes, and she said softly: You are very good at taking care of people! In the past few days, she has been taking leave for a long time, and she will not return to her original position, but she will be a little unspeakable in front of outsiders. I asked her to do it for you, mainly to make a show, what can really happen in the palace? It's really time for you to rest for a few days.

Cuichun didn't say much, but hurriedly bowed to himself: Cuichun Lingen, thank you for your compassion.

Concubine De nodded. When she was about to leave the side hall, she paused, lowered her voice and said: "You take the palace maids who are guarding outside to go farther, and think about it yourself, I want to talk to Qingxia about something."

Find excuses, excuses, and troubles...... These are people who can't help but live in the palace for a long time. On a small side, if you want to live comfortably, this skill must be mastered. Cuichun, as one of the two right-hand men under Concubine De, must of course be the best among this kind of people.

There was no need for Concubine De to give detailed instructions, Cuichun already knew what to do. She didn't say anything, just nodded seriously, easily held Concubine De's hand, and bowed again. Then go out first.

Cuichun's footsteps stopped in the main hall of Xiaohuai Palace for a while, and then, the main hall heard Cuichun and the two palace maids talking softly. After only a short moment of speaking, her footsteps began again, and she walked out of the hall with the footsteps of the other two, and walked away from the hall.

Then, another footstep came in from outside the door. The sound of the footsteps was as slight as falling leaves falling on the shallow grass, as natural as nature, but Concubine De would never think that it was really the sound of falling leaves.

The door of the side hall opened, and Qing Xia walked in. After closing the door lightly. She blessed Concubine De's short body.

There are palace lamps that are lit all night long, but although this kind of lamp can be lit for a long time at a time, there is no need to add oil to take care of it halfway. But the light it emits is not very bright. Concubine De didn't call Cui Chun to add a lamp after she got up, Qing Xia stood in such a dimly lit side hall, her face and expression looked a little blurred.

What Concubine De ordered Qing Xia to do this time, Qing Xia took the longest time in her mission history. Now that she's finally back, she's a little less proactive.

Concubine De looked at her face. Even though she couldn't see it clearly, she could already feel that things didn't seem going well this time. Because of this, she had some unpleasant feelings in her heart, but she did not immediately show this unhappiness on her face and tone, but said softly and gently: I didn't expect to go for so long, thank you.

As soon as Concubine De's words were finished, Qing Xia suddenly knelt down on her knees in front of her.

The knee bone hit the ground with a muffled 'thump'. As if Qing Xia didn't feel pain, she couldn't hear the trills caused by the pain in her steady voice when she spoke, but the apologetic tone in her words was very obvious. She directly punished her body by kneeling heavily in front of Concubine De. And her heart is also full of self-condemnation.

Qing Xia said in a deep voice: Niangniang, Qing Xia is incompetent, this time I failed to complete what Niang Niang ordered, please punish you!

When Concubine De heard this, the expression in her eyes froze slightly.

Although from the moment she watched Qingxia push the door in. He had a bad premonition, but he really heard this speculation confirmed from Qing Xia's mouth. She was mentally prepared, but she still felt unhappy.

However, she will not punish Qing Xia for this matter.

Before ordering Qingxia to leave the palace to do business, Concubine De carefully considered the difficulties of this matter. She was ready for another thing and was about to make a move, but she reluctantly adopted the prime minister's proposal. When things come to the moment, you suddenly change your mind, and it is difficult to think everything through in a hurry, and it is inevitable that something will go wrong.

Concubine De sighed softly, raised her hand, and helped Qingxia to get up, and then said indifferently: That's it! This was a bit beyond my plan from the beginning, and if it didn't work out, it would be as I had assumed before, driven by providence. So how can you be blamed for success or failure?

Qing Xia hesitated for a moment, but finally stood up. After thinking for a while, she said slowly: If it weren't for the sudden bump into a few people halfway, Qingxia would definitely be able to succeed.

Concubine De bowed her head and said: That old man, he does have some skills under his hands, so even if he is offended by the emperor, there are still many people in this world who really want him to live and do things.

After a pause, she asked: The person who rescued Liao Shi, do you know the identity?

They are masked, and the servants can only see a little from their martial arts routines. But they also seem to have noticed this, and made a conservative arrangement on the traces of the shot. When Liao Shi was taken away, only two people made a move, and the maid couldn't see it very clearly, but he felt that their martial arts path was a bit like the technique of a master in the interior. The more Qing Xia talked about the back, the more hesitant her tone became.

Concubine De heard what she said, her eyebrows moved because of the doubts in her heart, it only takes two people to block you, or in the case of protecting others, this is really a master!

After a moment of silence, she said slowly: According to the simple notes you sent back in the past few days, Liao Shi returned to Beijing a little earlier than when the Lin family caught fire. However, if the people who prevented you from killing Liao Shi were really masters of the Great Interior, then why didn't they go to the Lin family to rescue? And you have to wait for Li Gai, who is a step too late, to take people there? There's something unreasonable here.

Qing Xia lowered her eyes and said: So Qing Xia doesn't know whether what she sees is accurate or not.

Concubine De slowly walked back and forth in the side room a few times, and suddenly stopped and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, her eyes raised slightly, and she said in a deep voice: I said that you can't kill Lin Shan directly. But if you can kill Liao Shi, this matter will be half done. Thinking about it the other way around, if the person who rescued Liao Shi didn't need to use his stunt medical skills for something, then we thought about it, he thought that saving Liao Shi was equivalent to saving Lin Shan.

Qing Xia's eyes flickered for a moment, and he said incomprehensibly: Emperor Xià must not want Lin Shan's trouble, but if His Majesty wants to make a move, he can directly ask someone to rescue Lin Shan. Going around such a big circle is a big risk, and it will also complicate things.

Concubine De suddenly smiled and said: The way of thinking about problems cannot always be controlled by personal thoughts. Leave it aside. It is only said that among the noble families in Kyoto, there are many people who don't want Liao Shi to die. But if you just consider this, it is not comprehensive.

She pondered for a moment and then said: "I always listen to the doctor who says, 'Only by arguing can the disease be cured.'" We might as well argue about this matter. Imagine that I don't want Liao Shi to die or Lin Shan, I don't want Lin Shan's accident to have an accident, my tentacles can reach out to the money bank opened by the royal family to access account information, and I have a group of subordinates whose overall ability is close to that of the master of Ouchi, and finally, I don't want the emperor to know their traces. Who could such a person be?

They don't want His Majesty to know? Qing Xia was puzzled.

Well. Concubine De nodded and said: With the skills you mentioned, if you go directly into the forest house to save people, it may be faster and easier. It's just that in this way, to deal with such a large group of killers, I am afraid that my own people will not be able to avoid leaving a few corpses......

If you leave a corpse, you are very likely to be recognized, and no matter how strong the master is, he will have to eat and live. It is necessary to have some intersections with ordinary people. will leave its own traces, and it will attract people who trace the origins.

Qing Xia's eyes showed a sudden expression. After she left the palace with Concubine De's instructions, she focused on chasing and killing Liao Shi. It's flawless that thinks too much about other details.

At this moment, Qing Xia thought of the corpses of those killers who died in the Lin family's old mansion and were finally cremated to ashes, and suddenly had some other sighs. It is about the safety of the subordinates who do things for the master, and it all depends on whether the person in charge can think things carefully in advance. Otherwise, the subordinates will really only have the share of their lives.

Think about it, the master who manipulates the passer-by to do things. He is a person with a delicate heart. When Concubine De said this, she saw that Qing Xia was stunned for a while, and she didn't say a word for a long time, so she asked again: What do you think?

This...... Qing Xia's eyes showed a wry smile, and he said hesitantly: If you still use the medical Tao to explain, then Niangniang's inference is like a doctor who wrote a prescription, but could not find the medicinal materials that matched the prescription.

It's a bit hard. Concubine De smiled faintly, and a figure suddenly flashed in her mind, but soon she denied that idea in her heart.

After pondering for a moment, she suddenly said: Maybe what I should think about now is not who the person who helped Liao Shiyan is, but I should worry about whether we are being watched.

When Qing Xia heard this, she couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

Indeed, if someone monitored all of Concubine De's movements, then as long as they knew Liao Shi's whereabouts, it was equivalent to those who were monitoring them also knew the news, and they would not need to penetrate the power of the money bank's account.

But thinking of this, Qingxia was a little confused again.

Xiaohuai Palace has never lacked people placed by the prime minister to monitor Concubine De's movements, otherwise Concubine De's attempt to kill Lin Shan would not have been stopped by the prime minister so quickly. But the prime minister's people have always only reported the affairs in the Xiaohuai Palace to the prime minister's side, and the prime minister's mansion does have a few masters with the title of the housekeeper, but if the prime minister does not allow Concubine De to kill Liao Shi, he himself will come in directly from the secret passage to stop Concubine De's actions like last time, instead of calling a few martial artists to take action on the streets of the city and save Liao Shi.

What's wrong?

Qingxia frowned and thought for a long time, and suddenly said: Could it be that something is wrong with the prime minister's family?

Prime minister...... He is indeed a veteran of spying on others, otherwise His Majesty would not have been able to pick out any fault with him for so many years, and he would not be afraid of being troubled by his own family and raising so many 'guests'. Concubine De laughed without any warmth, if someone can spy on him, and can spy on him to spy on me, then he is an extremely shrewd person. However, the eyes of the multi-thinker are more spiritual, and such a shrewd person cannot wait for a long time in the prime minister's mansion without being noticed by the prime minister.

Hearing Niangniang's words, Qingxia became more and more clueless. Qing Xia sighed softly and asked again, "What should I do next?"

Qingxia realized the severity of the problem and was a little nervous, but Concubine De's mood gradually calmed down, and she said slowly: There is no need to be too anxious about this matter for the time being. Whether or not someone is spying on the palace, as it stands, no one is really threatening us yet. However, although we don't know what the people who do these things mean, we also need to prepare early, and it is best to find out their roots, so as not to be taken advantage of by others in future activities, but this matter still needs to be pondered by me.

Qing Xia nodded when she heard this, and didn't say anything more.

Concubine De breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the table and sat down, speechless for a long time.

She has been operating for several years for this plan, but she didn't expect to change the way she moved forward by the prime minister's words. But after the detour, it seemed that something went wrong again, and this series of changes made her disappointed and bored.

After sitting quietly for a while, she suddenly raised her eyes to look at Qing Xia, and said solemnly: Where did the passer-by send Liao Shi?
