"Say! Who sent you! ”

Jiao Zhan'er scolded the palace maid loudly. The palace maid was very frightened, and said tremblingly:

"Yes...... It's five ......."

"Whoosh!"

"Ahh

The palace maid was just about to say it, but she was pierced into the heart by a small dagger flying from the window and killed on the spot! Jiao Zhan'er was shocked, and shook the palace maid again, and there was no breath anymore. He ran to the window, and threw a random object to open it, but there was no one there. He was worried about the prince's safety and had to give up the pursuit.

"Your Highness, how are you?"

Jiao Zhan'er helped Liang Yuanzhi up. Liang Yuanzhi slowly walked up to the lifeless palace maid, and said with sharp eyes:

"Did you hear her say a 'five'?"

Jiao Zhan'er nodded, both of them already knew it.

"Liang Yuan Zhao! He's going to put me to death! ”

Liang Yuan clenched his fists angrily, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble. One is resentment, and the other reason is that after all, he was drugged and couldn't fully recover so quickly.

"Huh!"

Liang Yuanzhi pulled out Jiao Zhan'er's sword and cut it at the body of the palace maid. Immediately, blood flew everywhere, splashing onto his own clothes. When Jiao Zhan'er saw it, he was shocked, how could the prince's heart change so cruel? Anyway, she's dead, so why do it?

"Your Highness! Be careful with your body! ”

Jiao Zhan'er couldn't say that the prince was not, so he stopped his crazy whipping corpse on the grounds that he was worried about his body.

"What's the matter with the guards at the door?"

Liang Yuanzhi was still resentful, and Jiao Zhaner replied:

"I've been stunned."

"Bang dang!"

Jiao Zhan'er's sword was thrown to the ground by Liang Yuanzhi, and he shouted hysterically:

"Why did he treat me so viciously?"

Jiao Zhan'er hurriedly helped Liang Yuanzhi and said:

"Your Highness, you have to stay awake. There are spies in Mingyang Palace, it's a certainty, you can't mess up! ”

Jiao Zhan'er was sent out by Liang Yuanzhi before, so these people had a chance. Thanks to Jiao Zhan'er's timely arrival, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Liang Yuanzhi took a few steps back, his body becoming more and more weak, but his eyes were full of anger towards Liang Yuanzhao.

Jiao Zhan'er detoxified all those palace guards and let them deal with the dormitory before serving the prince to rest. The most important thing now is to catch the spies, otherwise the prince will be exposed in front of the five princes as if he is **!

That night, Tao Qingling came to look for Han Ying again, but there was still no trace of her. I had to walk around the courtyard at will, and just when I saw Jiuyu coming out, she walked over, and the two said a few words, and Tao Qingling asked:

"By the way, where did Hotaru go? Why can't I see her for days and nights? ”

Jiuyu smiled and said:

"Sister Hotaru has to keep vigil for Her Highness every day."

Tao Qingling was taken aback, vigil? The palace maid's vigil? It's not like she hasn't heard it, but she's still shocked. Han Ying keeps vigil for the Nine Emperor Princes every day? Why do palace maids go to vigil?

After tossing and turning all night, Tao Qingling finally stayed up until dawn. She prepared toiletries very early and arrived at the Nine Emperors' dormitory. When Ji Xuanshu saw her, he didn't think much about it. Tao Qingling entered the front of the internal service, knelt down and said:

"Slaves and maids come to serve His Highness and freshen up."

At this hour, the Nine Emperors just got up, the inner bedroom door was still closed, and Tao Qingling chose just the right time.

"Qingling."

Han Ying opened the door, Tao Qingling raised his head, and saw the Nine Emperor Princes behind Han Ying who had not yet tied his hair. Her heart was very blocked, but she still controlled her emotions and said:

"Hotaru."

"Come in."

Liang Yuanhe spoke, and Tao Qingling went in. This time, she paid attention to the inner bed, she didn't pay much attention before, in addition to the bed of the Nine Emperor Princes, there was a smaller one over there, and she immediately understood who it was for. When he was in the Hui Palace, no one could lie down at night, Han Ying was here with the Nine Emperor Princes, was it so special?

Tao Qingling was preoccupied, and after serving, she retreated, she stood at the door, and heard the exchange between Han Ying and the Nine Emperor Princes inside.

"Your Highness, why don't you change your hair bundle?"

"What? Not good-looking? ”

"No, the slave just thinks that every day is always the same, it's too monotonous."

"Okay, you can do it."

The conversation between the two was very harmonious, but to Tao Qingling's ears, he felt a little affectionate. In this way, it may be a bit serious, but in short, it is a very intimate feeling.

When he was free, Tao Qingling finally found the opportunity, chatted casually with Han Ying at first, and then asked:

"Firefly, why do the Nine Emperor Princes want the palace maids to keep vigil?"

Tao Qingling didn't ask why she was asked to keep vigil. Han Ying listened, smiled, and said:

"I don't know. It may be that I was the only one in the Ciyang Palace at the beginning, and I could only come to the vigil at that time. Later, there were more people, but Master Ji and Master Yi were both guarded, Jiuyu was a eunuch, and there were many things, so I stayed overnight, so I continued to let me come. ”

Han Ying did think the same way. After Tao Qingling listened, her heart let go slightly, she lowered her eyebrows, thought for a while, and asked:

"So, you're there, and you sleep hard every night, right?"

asked around the corner, but Han Ying didn't notice it.

"Fortunately, Your Highness has prepared a bed. Either our Highness is sympathetic to the palace people, and after a long time, you will find out more. His Highness is so good to everyone. ”

After listening to Tao Qingling, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this. But after all, they are lonely men and widows, and after being in the same room for such a long time, Tao Qingling's heart is still very uneasy.

"So, am I going to keep vigil in the future?"

Tao Qingling finally asked a question that she most wanted to get a positive answer. Han Ying shook her head and said:

"I don't know, it's all up to His Highness."

Tao Qingling couldn't ask anything, so she had to take a step and look at it first. She looked at Han Ying, and when she was talking about the Nine Emperor Princes, she didn't seem to have changed much. In fact, thanks to the previous warning from Lord Wenyan, Han Ying restrained her admiration for the Nine Emperor Princes in front of anyone.

"By the way, Firefly, you have been in Ciyang Palace for so long, and the master is still so good, you ...... Don't have any other ideas? ”

Tao Qingling asked directly in a joking tone, Han Ying was shocked when she heard it, but she quickly covered it up and said:

"We are palace maids, how dare we think anything wrong?"

After speaking, she felt a little weak-hearted, and when she saw Tao Qingling staring at herself intently, she quickly diverted the topic.

"Your Highness, you have someone you like."

Tao Qingling was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked:

"Who is it?"

Han Ying said:

"Lord Wenyan."

Tao Qingling thought about it for a while, and it turned out to be her.

"I've heard about the matter between Lord Wenyan and the Nine Emperor Princes, are they still in love now?"

Han Ying nodded and said:

"Yes, Lord Wenyan comes here from time to time, and besides, she is the only one who can freely enter and leave Ciyang Palace except for the emperor."

At this time, Tao Qingling had already put down the mustard to Han Ying, and her heart was full of vigilance against the county lord of Wenyan. It turns out that there are really enemies, and they are still county lords, which is really difficult to handle.

"Our Highness is also ...... to her Affectionate? ”

Han Ying paused, and then said:

"It should ...... It should be, right? Anyway, His Royal Highness treats her very specially......"

Han Ying remembered that when he was hunting, the Nine Emperor Princes were injured, and the county lord Wenyan came to see him in the middle of the night, ignoring everyone's eyes at all. Coupled with being able to enter and leave Ciyang Palace freely, as well as what she said to herself that day, Han Ying thought that the Nine Emperor Princes were special to her.

When Tao Qingling heard this, he couldn't calm down in his heart, and he thought about more and more things. Neither of them noticed each other's distractions, they were thinking about each other.

"Qingling, why are you asking this? Is it also such gossip? ”

Han Ying came back to her senses first, and asked jokingly, she also wanted to liven up the atmosphere and not let herself think too much. Tao Qingling listened, also paused, and said:

"It's nothing, as a slave and maid, you still have to know more about the master's affairs. is indeed curious, the Nine Emperor Princes are also a legendary figure in the palace, and his emotions are also what outsiders want to discuss. ”

Han Ying smiled, put her arm around Tao Qingling's shoulders and said:

"Okay, we don't have to discuss others, in the future, when we get out of the palace, we will find a quiet place, with the mountains and rivers back. Now, what we have to do is to save more belongings, women do not earn more than men, and leave more money for themselves. ”

Tao Qingling listened, if it were the usual, she would definitely be very willing to discuss with Han Ying about her life after leaving the palace, but at this time, she was not so yearning for the outside of the palace, but just wanted to stay in Ciyang Palace. Seeing that Tao Qingling's enthusiasm was not high, Han Ying teased her:

"What's wrong? So inactive this time? Could it be that you have a sweetheart? ”

Tao Qingling was suddenly told the central matter, and his heart was first shocked, and then he was a little shy, but he still said stiffly:

"No ......"

"Haha, you're blushing, don't lie to me, tell me, who is it?"

Tao Qingling's face was too red and obvious, how could Han Ying not see it, so she grabbed it. Tao Qingling didn't tell Han Ying the truth, for some reason, she just didn't want to confide in anyone.

"No, I'm too busy in Hehui Palace all day long, how can I have the leisure to look at men?"

Han Ying smiled and said:

"It's not small, look at men, it's normal."

Tao Qingling pretended to beat Han Ying, saying:

"You're not ashamed? He said he wanted to look at men! You'd better go and see your five princes! ”

After Tao Qingling finished speaking, Han Ying quickly covered Tao Qingling's mouth and said:

"Little Ancestor, you can't just say this!"

Tao Qingling realized that he was a little out of control, and quickly stuck out his tongue, and then whispered:

"What? How long has it been since I saw the Five Princes? Do you miss him? ”

The figure of the fifth prince just flashed in Han Ying's mind, then he shook his head and said:

"No, I don't think about him now."

Really, it was just the beginning of love before, and the love was not paid to the right person, but now, Han Ying knows who is really rooted in her heart.
