Chapter 176: Conspiracy
"There's something about the second prince, he was afraid that I would tell it, so he brought me here." Yun Ruonan said softly, thinking of the incident that he bumped into last night, and couldn't help but think of Jun Yan's almost murderous gaze, but Yun Ruonan couldn't help but shudder.
"Second prince? What's up? ”
Yun Ruonan looked around and made sure that there was no one, so he beckoned him to get closer.
Seeing this, Jun Xu leaned over slightly.
Yun Ruonan stepped forward, put his hand to his ear, and whispered word by word, "Second prince, it's good to have broken sleeves, he likes men." ”
As soon as the words came out, Jun Xu's whole person was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes were full of disbelief, "Impossible, he married a wife and has a few concubines, how can it be...... It's the kind you say. ”
Yun Ruonan also guessed that he wouldn't believe it, after all, no one would have thought that a man who had a wife would really like a man, and he blamed the second prince for hiding this matter very well.
If she hadn't stumbled into it last night, she probably wouldn't have known the secret.
"Really, I saw it with my own eyes yesterday, he and that ......" Yun Ruonan hurriedly said, looked at it privately, lowered his voice a little, "He and that Song Yaoqing are in that kind of relationship." ”
Jun Xu glanced at her suspiciously, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and he still didn't answer what Yun Ruonan said.
"You don't believe me?" Yun Ruonan saw his expression.
Jun Xu looked at her, "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that this matter is really hard to believe." ”
Yun Ruonan lowered her head and nodded, "Indeed." ”
So even if you know that Jun Yan has that special habit, when it reaches the ears of others, it will only say that they are spreading rumors.
After all, it is an indisputable fact that the second prince has two imperial concubines.
"I have to tell Master Mu about this matter, maybe I can use it in the future." Jun Xu said softly.
With thoughts, the two returned to Qingyi Palace.
Since this incident, everything has been as usual, Jun Xu is also worried that Jun Yan will trouble her because of this incident, and often goes to Yun Ruonan after being busy, and nothing has happened for several days.
Half a month has passed, the birthday banquet is getting closer and closer, and Jun Xu is even busier, and he is often called by His Majesty to sort out some things.
Yun Ruonan didn't have anything to help when he stayed in the palace, and sometimes he chatted with his subordinates, it seemed that he had some lingering palpitations because he was taken away by Jun Yan last time, and he didn't dare to take a step out of this palace for several days, for fear of being called over again.
But looking at these days, Jun Yan seems to be quite peaceful, nothing happened.
As a prince, he was busy during this time, and seeing that Jun Yan was not looking for any trouble, Jun Xu was also wholeheartedly devoted to the preparation of this birthday banquet, but he did not return to the palace as often as before.
Yun Ruonan also thought that Jun Yan would no longer act rashly at this juncture, and he relaxed his vigilance for a while.
It is precisely because of this that Jun Yan once again took advantage of a loophole.
This time, the birthday banquet was arranged by Jun Xu, and things were heavier than other princes.
Jun Xu was making arrangements in the palace, but he always felt that he didn't like it, as if something was missing there.
looked at the scene in front of him that was obviously arranged according to his own arrangement, but he still shook his head, sighed, and finally called Ah San and ordered, "Ah San, go to Qingyi Hall and bring the king's drawings." ”
"Drawings?"
"It's a sketch of the scene that this king drew some time ago."
Ah San responded, turned around and hurriedly went to Qinglian Palace.
The palace is already very large, and the place where Jun Xu is arranging the banquet is a little far away from the Qingyi Palace, and on the way, passing by the imperial dining room, the aroma is full of aroma, which makes him drool.
Thinking that the things in his heart could not be delayed, he turned his head and hurriedly left the place, but he still couldn't bear to swallow his saliva.
It seems that God has eyes and knows that he is hungry, but around the corner, he happened to bump into a little maid, holding a pastry box in her hand, and was stealing food.
Smelling the bursts of fragrance, Ah San was hungry and coughed.
The little maid who stole the food was taken aback, turned around and saw Ah San in front of her, her face was nervous, and she reached out and quickly wiped her mouth, "Ah, Ah San's manager ......"
Hearing this title, Ah San looked at her with a bit of scrupulous gaze.
There will be a cronie next to the master in a hall, and the cronies around the eighth prince are Ah San, and in the Qingyi Palace, he is the most senior except for the eighth prince.
When the subordinates of Qingyi Hall saw him, they all had to be called the chief steward.
It seems that this maid seems to be a person from Qingyi Palace, but how does she feel so faceless when she looks at it? Could it be a new maid?
"You, why are you here?"
The maid in front of him asked again, interrupting Ah San's thoughts, so Ah San simply didn't go into detail, and said solemnly, "What are you doing here?" What to steal and eat? ”
When the maid heard this, she seemed to be a little weak-hearted, and her hand was put behind her back, "No, it's nothing." ”
Where did Ah San believe it, seeing her movements, he stretched out his hand, "Bring it, otherwise, the chief will punish you." ”
When the maid heard this, she seemed to be frightened, and hurriedly put up the pastries behind her, "Chief, this is a slave and maid to honor you, don't tell the eighth prince." ”
Smelling the fragrance, Ah San couldn't help licking her lips, and then because of the presence of her subordinates, she hurriedly restrained herself and reached out to take the pastry in her hand, "For your sincerity, don't care, do you know if you are serious?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes, the manager is taught." The maid hurriedly nodded and said.
Ah San seemed to be very satisfied, and beckoned, "Okay, you can go down to work." ”
"Yes." Hearing the command, the maid hurriedly retreated.
This turn, where is there a pitiful look on his face, his eyes are full of cunning, he bends his lips and smiles, and then retreats.
Ah San looked at the pastries on the plate, and ate them all at once, and there was still some unfinished after eating.
Smacking his tongue, he continued to go to Qingyi Palace.
……
Yun Ruonan, who was chatting with the subordinates at the entrance of the hall, was chatting happily, but Ah San ran over, as if he was looking for something.
Seeing that he was very anxious, Yun Ruonan couldn't help but ask.
Ah San replied while looking for it in the main hall, "The Eighth Prince asked Ah San to find a drawing, which is a sketch of the scene layout, and now the Eighth Prince is in a hurry to use it, why didn't he see it." ”
When Yun Ruonan heard this, she seemed to have some impressions, because she had seen Jun Xu looking at a drawing before.
Sometimes when she goes out from the cabinet for a convenient trip, she can see Jun Xu carefully looking at the drawing on the couch.
She was curious and asked him, and he told her that it was a sketch of the banquet.
"I seem to know where."
Saying that, Yun Ruonan went to the bedroom under Ah San's gaze, looked around on the bed of the Eighth Prince, and finally found the drawing on the pillow floor.
Looking at it, Yun Ruonan felt a little familiar, and even more felt that what the Eighth Prince wanted should be this.
Hand it to Ah San, "That's it, right?" ”
Ah San looked at it and nodded, "Yes, yes, that's it, thank you, Miss Xiaonan." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and was about to go out, but he squatted in place suddenly, holding his stomach, with an uncomfortable look, Yun Ruonan couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Ah San's face was a little red, and he seemed a little embarrassed, "That, Miss Xiaonan, I seem to have eaten something bad and want to go to the toilet...... This ......"
Seeing his embarrassment, Yun Ruonan took the drawing in his hand, "Then I'll send it for you." ”
When Ah San heard this, he was even more grateful, and hurriedly said, "Thank you so much, Miss Xiaonan." ”
"You're welcome, where am I going to send it?"
"In the easternmost agarwood pavilion in the palace, Miss Xiao Nan will find out when you ask someone......" Ah San said, and then became even more anxious, "I can't hold it back, Miss Xiao Nan, please!" ”
With that, he ran away without waiting for her to say anything more.
Yun Ruonan looked at the drawings in his hand and muttered, "Agarwood Pavilion ......"
Only then did he raise his feet and prepare to go out of the hall to find the place called the Agarwood Pavilion.
In this palace, the only thing she is familiar with is this Qingyi Palace, and she is not familiar with other places, and even said that the palace is so big, she didn't have time to take a good look, let alone find this agarwood pavilion.
In the far easternmost, though......
Qingyi Hall is the southernmost place, so it seems that it is still a little far away.
On the way, I happened to meet a little maid, and she stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, do you know where the Agarwood Pavilion is?" ”
The maid also happened to be the maid who had given Ah San pastries before, hearing this, he looked up at her, glanced at her a few times, and then said, "Agarwood Pavilion, oh just follow this road, and then turn left, you will see a plaque called the palace of Xianshu Palace, and then go straight to the end." ”
Hearing this, Yun Ruonan glanced at it with a little questioning, "Turn left?" ”
"yes, turn left and you'll be there."
"But, isn't the Agarwood Pavilion in the east? This left turn seems to be to the west. ”
Hearing this, the maid hurriedly said, "Ah, no, the Agarwood Pavilion is in the west." ”
Yun Ruonan frowned, thinking about Ah San's words, it was clear that he was talking about the east, could it be that he was too anxious at the time so he said the wrong thing?
Seeing that Yun Ruonan didn't believe it, the maid said, "It's in the west, and the slave maid is also familiar with it in the palace, so it won't be wrong." ”
Hearing this, Yun Ruonan saw that she was a little out of shape, smiled and hurriedly thanked her, "Thank you." ”
The maid didn't say anything more, and turned and walked away.
Following the maid's words, Yun Ruonan really came to an intersection, and there was a burst of fragrance not far from the right, which seemed to be the direction of the imperial dining room, and the left side seemed to be a little deserted compared to it.
Thinking that the Eighth Prince still needed this drawing, Yun Ruonan didn't think much about it, and hurriedly turned left and entered.
The maid turned her head to see that she had indeed gone to the left as she had been told, and turned around another corner.
Seeing a man, he bowed his head and responded, "Song Gongzi, the slave maid has been done at your request." ”
Song Yaoqing heard this and nodded, "Okay, there's nothing to do with you now, you can go home first." ”
Hearing this, the maid bent down and retreated, "Yes." ”
The corners of Song Yaoqing's lips were slightly hooked, and he also climbed over the wall from the other side.
