"Aunt Xu, what are you going to do? Let me out. Yuzhu banged on the door and shouted. But the people outside ignored her.

"Auntie, please, let me out, let me out."

"Girl, don't shout, think about it carefully, I and the Queen Mother did this for the sake of the prince and the Beixuan Palace, do you really want to watch the Beixuan Palace's Mansion be beheaded and the family destroyed?" Aunt Xu couldn't bear it in her heart, so she persuaded outside.

"The emperor treats the prince well, he will not touch the prince." Yuzhu naturally knew the situation between Dugu Yanxiang and Shangguan Beitang.

"The emperor will not. But after all, he is the emperor of the world, not the emperor of the Beixuan King alone, if the world is in chaos because of this matter, the border mutiny, and the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee insist on forcing each other, then I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to protect the Beixuan Palace. Aunt Xu analyzed the seriousness of the matter.

"Now the girl is the only one who can solve the crisis in the Beixuan Palace, and I ask the girl to think more." Aunt Xu said again.

Yuzhu couldn't help but worry about the future of the Beixuan Palace, after all, she grew up here, this is her home, how can she ignore her home?

Gradually, Yuzhu stopped knocking on the door, she slowly withdrew her hand, turned around and leaned against the door, recalling that her status in the Beixuan Mansion over the years was indeed much higher than the maids of other people.

The entire Beixuan Palace, except for the prince, is the largest of her, and over the years, the prince has treated her well and eaten, and has never said a word of importance to her. The food and clothing are exactly the same as those of the host's family.

Now, the Beixuan Mansion is in trouble, and it is time for her to repay the prince's kindness.

Thinking like this, she was not so scared in her heart.

Not long after, a man walked into the courtyard, and when he saw Aunt Xu, he said, "Auntie." ”

Aunt Xu nodded: "Well, the people are already inside. If this is done, the gold and silver will be glorious and rich, and the position of the guard with a sword in front of the emperor will be yours. ”

The man looked into the door, turned his head and said, "My subordinates understand, my aunt can rest assured." ”

"Here's the key, let's go inside!" Aunt Xu handed him a key and turned around and walked out of the yard.

The man looked around, and when he saw that everything was the same, he covered his cheek with a black handkerchief, opened the door, and went in.

Yuzhu heard that someone had unlocked the lock, and instantly stood up, subconsciously picking up a vase and blocking it in front of him.

In the dim room, Yuzhu faintly saw that the person who came was a man, and she asked in horror, "You, who are you?" Her voice trembled so much that she could barely hear her.

The man replied without emotion: "Girl, you and I obey others, please forgive me for being rude and offended." ”

As he spoke, he walked up to Yuzhu and reached out to grab Yuzhu's arm.

Yuzhu was willing to give in, and immediately threw the vase and threw it at him.

Apparently the man was doing good kung fu, and with a dodge he dodged the vase that came at him, and the bottle flew some distance and hit the wall, "snapping" and shattering.

"Don't come here, stay away from me." Yuzhu said in horror.

But where could the man speak from her, and he approached her in two or three steps. Fingers tapped twice on her body, and it caught her acupoint.

Yuzhu suddenly couldn't move, only two eyes looked at the man in panic, but the man was veiled, and she couldn't see his face clearly.

The man didn't say much, picked her up and walked to the bed.

Suddenly, Yuzhu's tears flowed.

At this moment, she finally understood why Mama Liu was so reluctant to look at her before leaving the house, and why she said those words to her.

It turned out that she already knew. But she didn't even say anything, just watched the Queen Mother take her away.

At this moment, she finally understood why the Queen Mother said that she was the most suitable candidate.

The night was spent in endless pain, and the man, after everything was done, still left without saying a word.

Yuzhu looked at his departing back and asked angrily, "Tell me, who are you?" ”

The man didn't speak, just stopped, looked back at her, and then turned away.

Yuzhu endured the pain in her body, got dressed, curled up and sat in the corner, she held her hands on her knees, her eyes were dull looking out of the window, there were no tears, no sadness, and she sat all night.

Shangguan Beitang woke up in the middle of the night and was a little thirsty, so he called out to the house: "Yuzhu, bring some water." ”

No one outside the house answered, and Shangguan Beitang shouted twice: "Yuzhu, Yuzhu." ”

Still no one spoke, so he had to get up and go to the outhouse to fetch water. When I arrived at the outhouse, I saw that Yuzhu's bed was empty, neat, and there were traces of someone sleeping.

He was a little puzzled, and walked out of the house and asked An Hai, who was on duty at night, "What about Yuzhu, why don't you see Yuzhu." ”

"Hey, yes! She hasn't been seen since the afternoon. An Hai also said suspiciously.

"Send someone to look for it, see where they have gone?" Shangguan Beitang commanded.

"Yes." An Hai obeyed the order and sent the little servants in the courtyard to look for it, and soon those people came back and said that they had not seen Yuzhu.

Shangguan Beitang couldn't help but be a little worried, thinking that she didn't know where to go when she was so late, and she was really flustered.

"Quick, send someone to look outside the house." Shangguan Beitang said to his subordinates anxiously.

An Hai said: "Didn't Miss Yuzhu go to Xiao Mansion, right?" Why don't we go to Xiao Mansion to find out? ”

Shangguan Beitang was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "No, although Yuzhu has a relationship with Lord Xiao, he will never go to someone's house to spend the night."

"But in case, if we really find it, we don't have to worry so much." An Hai said again.

"No, if we rush to look for it, whether Yuzhu is there or not, it will ruin her reputation, and tell her how to raise her head in the Xiao Mansion in the future." Shangguan Beitang blocked the way.

"Miss Yuzhu won't go to Xiao Mansion, you don't have to toss." Mama Liu stepped forward and said.

She also stayed awake all night, thinking that she had hurt Miss Yuzhu after all, and she felt guilty and couldn't sleep.

"How does Mama know? Didn't Yuzhu tell you when he went out. Shangguan Beitang asked anxiously.

Mama Liu didn't answer him, but said very firmly: "Wait a little longer!" Maybe she'll be back in a while. ”

"Mama, you know where she went, don't you? Tell me soon! Shangguan Beitang asked again.

"The prince doesn't have to ask, she will come back when it's time to come back." After that, Mama Liu went straight into the house and sat on the chair.

Shangguan Beitang also followed her into the room, but he couldn't sit still for a minute, he was so anxious that he went around the room.

Finally, until dawn, a four-person sedan chair stopped outside the west gate of the Beixuan Palace, and Yuzhu slowly got down from the sedan chair. Pushed open the west door and entered the palace.

As soon as he walked into the main courtyard, he saw that all the people in the house were standing in the courtyard.

A subordinate asked in surprise when he saw her: "Sister Yuzhu, you can be regarded as back, the prince has been looking for you all night!" ”

Everyone looked at her, and Shangguan Beitang in the room also heard this, ran out of the room with an arrow, ran to her and asked with some reproach, "Where have you been?" Do you know that I was in a hurry? ”

Yuzhu glanced at him strangely, and said with a slightly polite salute: "The prince is angry, it is Yuzhu who is not good, which makes the prince worried." ”

Shangguan Beitang looked at her somewhat haggard cheeks, couldn't help but feel a little distressed, took her hand and walked into the house, and said, "Let's go, don't stand still, enter the house and say." ”

Then he waved his other hand and said to the crowd, "All right, all right, let's all disperse." It's been a long night, so let's go back and rest! ”

After entering the house, Shangguan Beitang asked again, "Where have you been?" Tell me quickly. ”

Yuzhu didn't look at him, but turned his head to look at Mama Liu, who was sitting in the chair.

But Mama Liu lowered her head and didn't dare to look up at her.

"What's wrong?" Shangguan Beitang also looked at Mama Liu.

Yuzhu turned around, held back her tears and said: "It's okay, yesterday the queen mother asked me to go to the palace to embroider the robe for her during the Dragon Boat Festival. The prince is worried, it's the slave and the maid. ”

"Oh, since you're tired, go down and rest! The king has breakfast prepared and brought to your room. Shangguan Beitang said.

Yuzhu naturally didn't want to stay in front of Shangguan Beitang anymore, she was afraid that if she stayed for a long time, she would not be able to help but shed tears and be discovered by him.

So she followed the words and responded: "Yes." And he hurried down.

Back in her room, she couldn't help but be wronged anymore, covered her head with a quilt, and cried desperately.

Besides, this night, the man went out of the jade bamboo house and came to a rockery behind the Fukang Palace.

There was a person waiting for him behind the rockery, and the moonlight was dimly shining on the rockery, faintly showing that it was a woman's figure.

Seeing him coming, the woman asked, "Is it done?" ”

"Back to my aunt, everything is in order." The man arched his hand.

"Okay, early tomorrow morning, someone will write to the emperor to recommend you as a guard with a sword in front of the emperor, this is a hundred taels of silver, you take it first." The woman said as she handed him a bag of silver.

The man took it and hurriedly thanked, "Thank you, auntie." If my aunt is fine, then my subordinates will leave first. With that, he turned and left.

The woman called him: "Don't be in a hurry to leave, come, the Queen Mother thought that you would definitely do this, and asked me to prepare good wine for you to celebrate your success, could it be that you don't even appreciate this little face?" ”

"The aunt said and laughed, the aunt prepared a good wine, of course the villain should drink a good drink. The villain will have to be taken care of by Aunt Lao in the future, how dare he fight his aunt's face. The man looked back and said with a smile.

"In that case, then the Wu guards will invite this drink to the bar!" The woman said as she picked up a wine glass and a jug of wine from the food box she had brought.

She poured the wine steadily and handed it to the man.

The man took it, something faintly flashed in his heart, but he didn't pay much attention to it, but picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Aunt Xu stood opposite him, just smiling and looking at him calmly.

Suddenly, he felt a tightness in his abdomen, and the heart-piercing cramping pain made him unbearable. He felt a warm surge of heat gushing out of his throat, and with a "poof", a mouthful of blood spurted onto the ground.
