"I've seen the princess." Haoyue stepped forward to salute Gu Qingwan, but the burning color on her face did not lessen in the slightest.

Gu Qingwan nodded towards Haoyue, she remembered that Empress Chen asked Haoyue to stay in the Yongyan Palace to take care of the Wanhua County Lord, so she frowned and asked, "Why did you come here, the Wanhua County Lord is alone in the Yongyan Palace, is the person left behind credible?" ”

Haoyue hurriedly said: "The slave maid came to Qinghe Garden because of the county lord's business, and the princess helped the slave and maid persuade the county lord." ”

"But what's wrong?" Gu Qingwan glanced left and right, and then pulled Haoyue to avoid the darkness

Haoyue also knew that her voice was too loud, so she hurriedly lowered her voice a little and said: "Niangniang and the princess left before and after, and the county lord said that he was a little sleepy after dinner. The slave and maid didn't think much about it, and after waiting for the county lord to rest, seeing that it was still early, she only did needlework in the compartment. I only went to look at it half an hour later, but found that the county lord had suddenly disappeared. ”

Gu Qingwan knew that it was another troublesome matter when she heard it, but there was only anxiety but no panic in Haoyue's expression, and she knew that the county lord Wanhua was mostly fine.

Sure enough, I heard Haoyue say: "The county lord climbed out of the window, but none of the guards and palace maids of Yongyan Palace found the whereabouts of the county lord. But I didn't expect the county lord to ······ It's a clever thought. ”

The county lord of Wanhua is gone, but he can't make a big deal and send more people, Haoyue can only let the people in the Yongyan Palace secretly search. But she didn't expect that the county lord of Wanhua was also a spirit, she knew that Yongyan Palace was heavily guarded, and she couldn't get out at all, so she found a dark place to hide. The search for people up and down Yongyan Palace was in chaos, so she took advantage of the chaos to sneak out.

Fortunately, Haoyue saw it with sharp eyes, and quickly chased after him.

This matter is not good Zhang Haoyue saw that the county lord of Wanhua was not far away, so she only brought a few palace maids to follow quietly. But he didn't expect that although the county lord Wanhua was small, his movements were very neat, and in the blink of an eye, he would leave Haoyue and a few people far behind.

Haoyue followed behind the lord of Wanhua, and when she saw her coming in the direction of Qingheyuan, she knew that she must have wanted to go to the Mid-Autumn Palace for a banquet.

Today, Empress Chen deliberately did not let the county lord of Wanhua attend the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, but she didn't expect that she was still greedy and sneaked over, Haoyue was worried in her heart, and she just wanted to send her back to Yongyan Palace before the county lord of Wanhua entered Heqing Garden.

"Where is the master of Wanhua County now?" Gu Qingwan listened to Haoyue's brief explanation of the situation, so she asked softly.

"The county lord is in Fengzhu Garden, and he cries and cries and refuses to return to the palace, but only says that he will also come to Qinghe Garden." Haoyue glanced at Gu Qingwan, and said, "The slave and maid can't persuade me, everyone is gathered in Qinghe Garden and Yonghe Garden today, although Fengzhu Garden is colder than in the past, but the county lord is crying like this, presumably it will attract a lot of people." In order to appease the county lord, the slave maid asked the county lord to guard the county lord, and he hurried to Qinghe Garden to ask the mother. ”

Gu Qingwan glanced at Haoyue: "Wanhua's status is noble, you let others guard her, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep it." ”

Haoyue was stunned for a moment, and a trace of chagrin flashed on her face: "The slave maid only thought that if she didn't come in person, others wouldn't be able to enter the Qinghe Garden, but she didn't think of this stubble yet." The county lord is still very reasonable, since he promised to wait for the slave and maid to talk back in Qinghe Garden, he will definitely not take the opportunity to ......"

It's just that the more she talks about it, the more bottomless she seems to be in her heart, and looking at Gu Qingwan's eyes, there is a hint of pleading: "Haoyue has a reluctant request, and I invite the princess...... Fulfill. Before the slave maid came, she thought that Niangniang would not let the county lord attend the palace banquet, and only thought about asking Aunt Liu Yi to persuade the county lord. On weekdays, the county lord still listens to Aunt Liu Yi's words. ”

"You want me to persuade you?" Gu Qingwan raised her eyebrows slightly and asked.

"Please also ask the princess to be considerate, even if the slave maid goes to Heqing Garden, Aunt Liu Yi is afraid that she will not be able to leave for a while." Haoyue looked at Gu Qingwan with a pleading face, "The county lord often mentions the princess on weekdays, and she must be very close to the princess, and she will listen to the princess's words." Fengzhuyuan is not far from here, so the princess should be a poor slave and maid, and go with the slave and maid. ”

Liu Yi couldn't leave Heqing Garden, this Gu Qingwan also knew it in her heart, thinking of Wanhua County Lord Gu Qingwan could only sigh helplessly in her heart.

Although the county lord of Wanhua was a little arrogant, he still listened to the truth. She knew that Wanhua wanted to go to the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet very much, but she didn't expect her to be so bold that she slipped out without permission. The people in the entire Yongyan Palace couldn't look down on a child, and Gu Qingwan didn't know if she should praise Wanhua for her cleverness.

"Where is Fengzhuyuan?" Gu Qingwan turned around and asked Cui Di, who was following her.

Cui Di pointed to the place not far away where there was a few lights: "It's just ahead, it's about a quarter of an hour away from here. ”

Gu Qingwan thought for a moment, then said, "That's it, you can take me over quickly." Liu Wanhua was there alone, and she was always a little uneasy. ”

A trace of guilt appeared on Hao Yue's face: "It's the slave maid who didn't think it through, thank you princess for your help." ”

Gu Qingwan answered softly, and let Haoyue lead the way, and when she saw Cuidi following behind her without saying a word, she stopped.

"Just now, Mama Huang told us to go and come back quickly, now I have to delay some hours when I go to Fengzhuyuan, and Mama Huang is afraid that she will have to think about it more." Gu Qingwan thought for a while and then said, "In this way, you go back to Qinghe Garden first, explain the situation here to Mama Huang, and then let someone accompany you to Fengzhu Garden to find me." ”

Cui Di answered, and hurried back the way he came.

Haoyue's steps were fast, and Gu Qingwan knew that she was in a hurry, so she tried her best to keep up with her steps. It was a quarter of an hour's journey, but they were quick because of their fast pace.

Fengzhu Garden is indeed planted everywhere with bamboo, and from the moment you enter the garden, the surrounding area is becoming more and more dense in the night. Gu Qingwan saw that Haoyue kept walking inside, so she asked, "Where is Wanhua now?" ”

"There is a small attic with a view in Fengzhu Garden, and the slave maid asked the county lord to go and rest inside." Haoyue walked too quickly, and she looked a little out of breath when she spoke, she pointed to a building looming in front of her, "Just ahead, the county lord is in a bad mood, and the princess should persuade her."

"It's nature." Gu Qingwan nodded yes.

As soon as the words fell, he didn't take a few steps before turning a clump of cultivated bamboos, and the viewing attic appeared in front of Gu Qingwan's eyes. This attic has three floors because it is looking at the lake view, and the lights pointed at by Fang Cai Cui Di are the palace lamps hanging at the four corners of the viewing attic.

Xu can watch the winter scene, this attic is closed on all sides, leaving only a door and window, and the figures on the doors and windows are numerous.

"Niangniang had previously explained that the county lord was not allowed to go to the palace banquet this time, and the slave had the courage to remind the princess that she should not respond to the county lord's request." When Haoyue saw the figure inside, she was also relieved in vain, and when she said hello to Gu Qingwan, her expression was also a little lighter.

"I save it, you don't have to worry." Gu Qingwan smiled at Haoyue, and the people guarding inside heard the movement outside, and hurriedly opened the door a small crack and asked, "Auntie, but you." ”

Hearing Hao Yue's answer, the man also breathed a long sigh of relief, and while opening the door softly, he said in a hurried tone: "Auntie, but you invited Aunt Liu Yi over?" The county lord made trouble several times, and if my aunt didn't come again, I didn't know what to do. ”

Gu Qingwan took advantage of the light of the four-corner palace lamp and saw that the person talking inside the door was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old palace maid, wearing the uniform dress of the palace maids in the palace. Because her appearance was too ordinary, Gu Qingwan couldn't remember whether she had seen her for a while.

"Princess, please come in." Hao Yue stepped forward and pushed the half-open door open, and then turned around and helped Gu Qingwan in.

Gu Qingwan entered the attic, and sure enough, she saw someone sitting on the couch in the corner with her back to the door, because she was shrinking in the dark, Gu Qingwan only thought that she was the lord of Wanhua, so she casually called her.

It's just that as soon as she spoke, she realized that something was wrong, although the back was shrunk together, it was definitely not Wanhua. Gu Qingwan's heart jumped, and when she heard movement behind her, her right hand suddenly reached into her left sleeve, and the whole person rushed out of the attic. Although she reacted quickly enough, she was still a step late, and as soon as she ran to the door, she was shrunk in the attic.

Then the window on the beauty couch also "clanged", presumably the window was also locked.

Gu Qingwan was furious in her heart, no wonder Concubine Xian didn't make trouble for herself today, but she had designed a big set for her to drill. Presumably, his previous colic was designed by Concubine Xian, otherwise how could he have met Haoyue by such a coincidence?

The food at the palace banquet must be very detailed, all of them are handled by Queen Chen's people, and the palace maids who pass the food are not fixed, so it is very difficult to make small movements in it. Gu Qingwan suddenly remembered that Cui Di touched the plate of the moon cake, and her heart sank.

Cuidi is quite suspicious, and if it weren't for Cuidi's help, how could she have met Haoyue so justly.

Cui Di is unreliable, and the Yu family is also unreliable, so they can only hope that Princess Chengjun and Duchess Liguo can remind Mama Huang or Liu Yi when they see that she has not come back for a long time. I don't know what Haoyue's plan is to lock her up here.

The Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet was already halfway through, and Gu Qingwan thought that she would be able to pass it safely tonight, but she didn't expect it to be planted in the hands of the people around Queen Chen.

Cui Di didn't say anything, but Gu Qingwan was completely defenseless against Haoyue. I'm afraid that even Queen Chen and Princess Huihe would not have expected that Haoyue, who was loyal to Queen Chen, turned out to be a dark chess piece buried by Queen Chen's side early.

Gu Qingwan clenched the dagger in her hand and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

She deliberately chose a dagger to prevent Zou Simin from hurting people violently, and before going out today, she tied the dagger to her left upper arm. Such a dagger that has not yet been opened is just a little psychological comfort for her, but now it has become the only thing that can save her life.

Gu Qingwan stared at the person who was huddled on the couch defensively, and slowly walked around in the attic. The doors and windows were all locked, Gu Qingwan took a deep breath, and it happened that the head of the person on the couch was slightly offset, Gu Qingwan looked at him defensively, but found that the person's face seemed to be a little familiar.
