The sound of the guards searching outside was getting closer and closer, and Zhou Nan turned around and walked out.

"You...... You stop! Seeing that Zhou Nan was about to walk out, Zhao Fujin said hurriedly, "You didn't go out just now, why do you want to go out now?!" ”

Zhou Nanxin said: I'll block the two of you in the room for interrogation, how can you get out? If you run out of the door, you won't want to explain it clearly in this life. But Zhou Nan said: "Naturally, it is to not affect the emperor." ”

The voices of the guards outside could already be heard very clearly, and they only heard someone say: "There is no need to check the Flower Sleeping Pavilion of Emperor Mao De here, right?" ”

Another claimed: "If you don't search carefully, you won't be in prison with everyone tomorrow!" ”

"Third Brother Li, you go and call the door to see if there is anyone inside." As he spoke, there were footsteps walking towards Huamian Pavilion.

"You haven't hid yet, and you've been found out that you're in my pavilion, how can I still have face?!" Zhao Fujin said hatefully in a low voice, while pushing Zhou Nan to the inner room in a panic.

"I ......" Zhou Nan was about to ask me where I was hiding, but Zhao Fujin had already pushed him into the inner room and closed the door of the inner room.

Zhou Nan looked around in the inner room, and was dumbfounded: except for the lamp plate hanging on the roof and the candles inside, there was only a large wooden barrel in the room, and there was nothing else. There is nowhere to hide. If the guards search in, they will have an unobstructed view, and there will be nowhere to escape.

There was a velvet towel on the edge of the big wooden barrel, and there was more than half a bucket of water in the bucket, and a layer of flower petals was sprinkled on it, no wonder it was so fragrant when it came in just now.

At this time, I only heard someone outside talking: "Is there anyone in the cabinet?" After asking twice in a row, Zhao Fujin and the maid in the outside room did not speak.

I heard the outside say: "The villain is the guard who is on duty in the front of the palace tonight, and he has just seen a trace of a thief during the inspection, and the search has been so far, if there is no one inside, the villain will go in to search." ”

Hearing that the guard was going to come in and search, Chasing Yue hurriedly replied: "Wait a minute, the emperor is here, don't be rude." ”

The guards outside still said without humility or arrogance: "Please also ask the emperor to be considerate of the villain, it is really his duty, and he does not dare to slack off a little." ”

After a while, I could hear the sound of the door opening, followed by the voice of the maid beside Zhao Fujin and said: "There are only emperors and slaves in this room, and there are no thieves." ”

I only heard the voice that spoke outside the door just now: "There is no trace of a thief in the outer room, but the thief is really cunning, and he asked the emperor to open the inner room and let the villain search for it." ”

The maid naturally knew the situation in the inner room, and couldn't help but say angrily: "You are so rude, the inner room is the place where the emperor bathes, how can you wait to go in?" ”

The guard didn't back down, but just told the maid to open the door and take a look. The maid just prevaricated about the place where the emperor bathed, but refused to open the door. But he couldn't hear Zhao Fujin speak, presumably Zhao Fujin was also worried that he would see himself when he opened the door, and he couldn't clean it up.

While the maid and the guard were arguing, a soft female voice was suddenly heard, "Why are you making all the noise here?" ”

The people outside said in unison: "I've seen the concubine." Only then did I hear Zhao Fujin's soft and sweet voice say, "I've seen Niangniang." Then the guard and the maid each talked about the reason for the quarrel,

I only heard the voice of this noble concubine and said: "Since you are the guards on duty, you should naturally be conscientious, and I don't blame you and others; He also said, "Even if you are searching for the thief, you don't open the door of the inner room?!" The latter sentence was naturally said to Zhao Fujin's maid.

I only heard the maid say: "The emperor has just bathed ...... inside" and hesitated to open the door.

"Still not open?" The concubine spoke softly but majestically.

"Yes!" Immediately after that, the door to the inner chamber was pushed open. A woman about thirty years old, a guard, and the maid beside Zhao Fujin stood at the door of the inner room.

"Is there a thief in this inner room?" Still the concubine's soft voice asked.

"There are no thieves! How offensive the villain is! The guard replied respectfully.

"But do you want to go indoors and take a closer look?" This concubine didn't want to let people go, and said to this guard.

"No need. The villain retired. Seeing that the room was empty and there was no one to hide, and the concubine said this, he naturally didn't dare to go in to check it carefully, so he hurriedly left after telling the concubine to retreat.

It's just that the concubine didn't leave the door of the inner room, and still stood there.

"Niangniang, it's cold here, let's go back to Fengming Pavilion, right?" Zhao Fujin stepped forward and said coquettishly, thinking that this concubine was Zhao Fujin's biological mother Liu Guifei.

Liu Guifei not only did not leave, but took two steps forward and stopped. Zhao Fujin had a weak heart, but his mother found something, and he didn't dare to speak, so he stood behind.

"Go outside and wait at the door." Liu Guifei suddenly spoke to the maid behind her. The maids beside Zhao Fujin, as well as the maids who came with Concubine Liu, walked out of the outside room together and walked towards the outside of Huamian Pavilion.

"Come out!" Liu Guifei said suddenly.

"...... What's coming out? Zhao Fujin went up and hugged Liu Guifei's arm and said.

"I'll ask you later!" Liu Guifei whispered to Zhao Fujin, and raised her voice again: "Those guards are gone, there is no need to hide anymore." ”

Zhou Nan still didn't dare to come out, he didn't know if this was Liu Guifei deliberately tricking him out. Maybe Liu Guifei was just suspicious and deliberately said to let him come out, so as to trick him out.

"The petals are fluttering, are you blind to me?!" Liu Guifei changed her softness just now and said in a deep voice.

With a "bang", Zhou Nan got out of the water from the barrel, jumped out of the barrel, and glanced at Zhao Fujin helplessly, Zhao Fujin couldn't help but be ashamed when he saw that Zhou Nan was hiding in the big wooden barrel he had just bathed.

Zhou Nan said to Liu Guifei embarrassedly: "In the next Zhou Nan, I have seen Guifei." ”

"Zhou Nan? You are the general of the Liao Wansheng Army? Liu Guifei asked in surprise.

"Exactly down there." Zhou Nan replied.

"Even if you are the emperor of Liao, you shouldn't enter the palace at night, let alone hide in my son's bathroom...... It's ridiculous! Liu Guifei said angrily.

"When I entered the palace, I was framed by that bull-nosed old way!" Zhou Nan said what he had just told Zhao Fujin again, and said to Liu Guifei again, and finally said: "The guards chased after him, and he was going to go out in the next place, but after thinking about it, in this way, those guards saw that he was coming out of the Emperor's Flower Sleeping Pavilion, which would ruin the Emperor's innocent reputation." He had to take the risk of hiding in the inner room, hoping to get out. Who knew that he deceived the guards, but he couldn't deceive the concubine's eyes. ”
