At this time, it was already night, probably because to the west was the residence of the harem concubines, and after walking for a while, I couldn't even hear the footsteps of the guards.

Shen Luo's steps were extremely slow, she seemed to be listening carefully to the movements around her, and even deliberately instructed Banxia and Hua Yi not to make any noise.

In that way, Banxia only felt a little similar to going to catch a traitor.

After about a quarter of an hour, Shen Luo, who was walking in front, stopped when he passed a pomegranate tree that was not taller than a person's head, and Banxia and Hua Yi, who were following behind, naturally stopped.

After receiving Shen Luo's explanation, the two did not ask why they stopped, but saw Shen Luo dodge closer to the pomegranate tree.

Hua Yi took half a step forward, followed Shen Luo's gaze, and looked through the gaps between the dense branches and leaves.

In the distance is the Qinghuai Pond in the palace.

Qinghuai Pond is not big, only for ornamentation, if the weather is dry and unfortunate to encounter water, it can also save the emergency water supply.

There is a Qinghuai bridge on Qinghuai Pond, and there are four small arch holes with drills on both shoulders of the bridge arch.

Originally, Qinghuai Pond was just a landscape pool, and the bridge on it was not afraid of rising water to circulate the water potential, just for the sake of being delicate and beautiful.

It's night, the concubines have long been closed, and the palace people are busy in the morning and evening, so they shouldn't have the leisure to enjoy the scenery and talk by the pool.

But at this time, there were two figures standing on the side of Qinghuai Bridge.

One of them only looked at the outline, and could faintly recognize the figure of Su Cen, the king of Lu, but the other couldn't see it clearly.

Shen Luo regretted a little that he didn't bring Fran into the palace.

Fran's ear power has always been better than ordinary people, and if she was here at this moment, she would probably be able to listen to the conversation between King Lu and that man.

Even if you can't hear what is said, you can at least tell whether the person who is talking to King Lu is a man or a woman.

In fact, the man was wearing a black cloak, not only did he completely hide his face under the cloak, but his body was also tightly covered, and he couldn't see it at all.

"Hua Yi, can you tell if it's a man or a woman under the cloak?" Shen Luo asked in a low voice.

Hua Yi glanced at Shen Luo, then fell on the figure in the cloak, and finally just shook his head.

Although he couldn't see people clearly and couldn't hear what they were saying, Shen Luo didn't leave.

She still stubbornly hid behind the pomegranate tree, waiting for an opportunity to identify the man.

The two people on the side of the bridge had not yet found any trace of Shen Luo, they whispered something, although they couldn't tell the difference, but judging from the movements, the person hiding under the cloak always kept his head down, and he looked like he was obedient.

Does King Lu have any subordinates in the palace?

But he's been playing outside, why do you want to put an eyeliner in the palace?

Without waiting for Shen Luo to think about anything, suddenly a small voice sounded, and it sounded from behind him, as if he was about to approach.

It was about eavesdropping and peeping, and being a thief, Shen Luo and his party had a cold sweat behind their backs when they boarded, and Shen Luo and Hua Yi hurriedly jumped away from the pomegranate tree and returned to the palace road.

"I don't know where Princess Lu has gone..."Shen Luo muttered as he walked forward, making it look like he had been looking for Princess Lu.

Shen Luoyuan listened to Hua Yi's words, and his heart became suspicious, so he deliberately came to check, and looked carefully along the way, so he could notice the strangeness by the Qinghuai Pool.

In fact, the pomegranate tree on the side of the palace road grows very well, and it is still in bloom in June, and it is red like fire, if they do not pay attention, it will be difficult for them to find the trace of King Lu and that person.

Pretend not to see anything now, but no one will see anything.

Shen Luo made such a sound, although his voice was soft, but he did not deliberately lower it, but the people who were approaching behind him noticed it.

Hua Yi simply answered at this time: "Princess, I haven't found it after looking for so long, I think King Lu and Princess Lu have already left the palace." ”

Without waiting for Shen Luo to speak, someone suddenly shouted behind him: "Princess Regent? ”

Shen Luo's body trembled, looking startled, and then she turned around and saw Princess Lu leading the two maids over quickly.

"Sister-in-law of the Seventh Prince?" Shen Luo squinted his eyes under the dim palace lamp.

"Why is the Princess Regent here?" Princess Lu asked as she walked.

She didn't glance in the direction of Qinghuai Pond from beginning to end, and she didn't seem to know that King Lu had a secret meeting with someone over there.

"I had prepared a dress and wanted to give it to Sister-in-law Wang as a meeting gift, but the banquet was noisy, I couldn't take it out, I heard King Zhao say that Sister-in-law's earrings fell to find it, so I thought about coming over to pick it up, and by the way, I sent this dress out."

As he spoke, as soon as Shen Luo stretched out his hand, Banxia sent the long box that had been held in his hand for a long time to Shen Luo.

Just when he heard a noise behind him, Banxia had already sorted out the clothes in his hand, but there were no wrinkles at all.

Princess Lu took the long box from Shen Luo's hand and handed it to the maid behind her.

Waiting for the maid to hold the box, Princess Lu reached out and stroked the clothes: "It's an excellent material to the touch, but now the palace lights are dim, and the color ......can't really be seen."

Princess Lu paused and said, "But I think that the eyes of the ninth brother and sister are not bad." ”

"Sister-in-law Wang's praise. It's really Sister-in-law's beautiful appearance, I'm afraid that even if my vision is bad, this dress will definitely be stunning when worn on Sister-in-law. ”

Hearing this, Princess Lu laughed, as if she really liked the appearance of the clothes, and stroked it again.

Because it was right under the nose of Princess Lu, and across the luxuriant pomegranate trees, Shen Luo couldn't see King Lu's movements clearly at a few glances.

This kind of thing, now it is natural for Hua Yi to pay attention.

At this moment, Hua Yi glanced at Shen Luo, signaling that King Shen Luolu noticed the movement here, and the man wrapped in the cloak had already retreated.

Nodding his head quietly, Shen Luo glanced behind Princess Lu a few times: "Huh? Why didn't you see King Lu? ”

After signaling the maid to retreat with the box, Princess Lu smiled at Shen Luo: "I looked around in Lilu Garden and didn't see my earrings, so I and the prince looked for them separately." ”

Shen Luo glanced in the direction of Qinghuai Pond: "The prince is coming this way?" ”

Princess Lu nodded, and walked with Shen Luo to Qinghuai Pond as she spoke.

"I and the prince did not return to Beijing for a long time, a few days ago, His Majesty was newly crowned with the four concubines, and the concubine banquet did not congratulate us in the Lu Palace, so I entered the palace today, and after seeing the concubine during the day, I went to the palace and walked around, and gave some jewelry to each of the four mothers, all of which should be a little heart."

According to Princess Lu's words, since she went to the harem, it is indeed possible that she dropped the earrings near Qinghuai Pond.

Although it is very close to the harem, it is not a harem after all, and King Lu is a reckless person who does not know how to avoid suspicion, and it is understandable to come to find it......

If Shen Luo hadn't seen the person in the black cloak, Princess Lu's words could indeed dispel some of her doubts, but she saw it in the end.
