Jiang Ling entered the Imperial Garden accompanied by the palace maid, and at this time the battlefield had lasted for more than two hours, but only two of the team's side quests had been completed, and Jiang Ling didn't have any idea of how far the main quest had progressed.

After all, the main mission is to protect the crown prince and ensure the success of his plan to assist him in ascending to the throne, but... Jiang Ling didn't see the prince.

"Judging from the killing of Wang Qilou, the target of the side mission, there is no doubt that my teammate has rushed to the White Deer Gate, and he is not dead yet, so I think he should be by the prince's side." Jiang Ling thought to himself in his heart; "Although I don't know if the idea that I entered the palace first to do a side quest and didn't go to the prince to meet, but after all, I'm already in, and it's too late to think about it, and the player's timely meeting with the prince will definitely help the main quest advance. In that way, my teammate was under more pressure. Alas, hopefully this teammate can handle it. ”

What Jiang Ling didn't know was that his thoughts coincided with Chen Duxing, both of them were acting according to their own ideas, and at the same time, they were also concerned about the battle situation on the other side, and they were worried about the other person, but at the same time they had high expectations...

The scenery in the Imperial Garden is indeed beautiful and atmospheric, it is not a royal garden, but it is much more magnificent than the park in real time. There are a variety of exotic flowers and plants, and the planting locations are very delicately designed, with a variety of colors that complement each other, and the mixed fragrance is not pungent, but refreshing.

And such a large garden must cost a lot of money, just transplanting rare flowers and plants from all over the country here does not know how much manpower and material resources will be consumed, and the construction cost must be indispensable, in order to create such a private back garden for the emperor to walk and relax.

"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road." Jiang Ling thought of such a poem for no reason, and first spurned hedonism, but in a blink of an eye, he thought to himself how cool it would be if he could come here and be an emperor...

"Who are you who dare to kill Xuanyin Ling." The palace maid beside him looked at Jiang Ling curiously with a pair of big eyes, and asked.

"I came down from heaven." Jiang Ling raised his finger and pointed to the sky, and said seriously.

The palace maid was silent for a moment when she heard this, and then she said; "If you can't say it, you can't make up a better reason."

It seems that this palace maid also saw that Jiang Ling was not a very vicious person, and she was a little less afraid of him.

Jiang Ling looked helpless, thinking that you don't believe me if I tell the truth, what else do you want from me?

The maid held the satin package, rolled her eyes, and then asked, "By the way, are you going to find the side door?" ”

"Hmm... I'm now..."Of course, Jiang Ling was not in a hurry to find the side gate of the Imperial Garden, but the side quest pointed here, so he wanted to come in and take a look, and he couldn't be sure what the specific Imperial Garden was. Before looking for Guanghe Palace, Jiang Ling casually said to the palace maid, saying that he was also going to escape from the side door. Hearing the palace maid ask like this at this time, Jiang Ling just wanted to find a reason to prevaricate, but after thinking about it, Jiang Ling realized that something was wrong, so he asked rhetorically: "You don't go to that side door?" Aren't you going to run away? ”

The palace maid's eyes changed slightly when she heard this, and then she replied, "I... I've hidden something in the Imperial Garden, I'll have to go get it first, you go first, I'll tell you where the side door is. ”

Jiang Ling glanced at her suspiciously and asked, "Can you hide anything in the Imperial Garden?" ”

The palace maid straightened her chest and replied very firmly: "I am the personal maid of the Queen Mother, and I often go for a walk in the garden with the Queen Mother, which I hid a few days ago." ”

"What are you hiding?" Jiang Ling asked.

The palace maid looked embarrassed, as if she was a little afraid that Jiang Ling would covet her things, so she said, "It's not a valuable thing, it's just very important to me." ”

"Okay." After Jiang Ling finished speaking, he glanced at the package that the palace maid was holding in her arms, as if to say that I didn't even grab the package on your body, and I would still be worried about what you stole and hidden?

The palace maid ignored Jiang Ling's gaze, directly raised her hand and pointed in a direction, and said, "Walk two hundred meters over there, turn left at an intersection, and go a little further, and there will be a side door." ”

"There's no hurry." Jiang Ling waved his hand, and then said; "In this way, we are also fated to get acquainted, I will accompany you to fetch things, and then we will escape from the side door together."

"No need," the palace maid bit her lower lip.

Jiang Ling smiled kindly: "If I hadn't killed the girl guarding the door, you wouldn't have been able to enter the Imperial Garden, besides, you have also seen my strength, if I really want to rob you of something, I won't be so polite to you." ”

The palace maid hesitated for a moment and said, "You're right, if you follow me, I won't stop you." Of course, don't blame me for being wary, after all, we've only known each other for a short time, and I don't know who you are. ”

Jiang Ling nodded in understanding when he heard this, but Jiang Ling said in his heart: I really want to know who you are.

At this moment, Jiang Ling finally realized that this palace maid was definitely unusual.

Before, Jiang Ling was anxious to find the Imperial Garden, and his mind was not on her, and he tried many times with his mental power, but he didn't notice any cultivation fluctuations on her body, so he thought that she would not be an important person, but at this time, with her abnormal behavior, Jiang Ling thought about it carefully and noticed that something was wrong.

Whether from the point of view of common sense or the progress of the game's plot, her appearance is problematic.

If this palace maid really saw the chaos in the palace and wanted to take the opportunity to escape, why didn't the others run? She claims to be the queen mother's maid, whether the crown prince succeeds to the throne as the prince of the country, or the king of Han follows the edict to succeed to the throne, they will definitely not hurt the queen mother, and naturally they will not harm the queen mother's personal maid.

As for the progress of the game, Jiang Ling thought at first that this was a dragon-level NPC arranged by the system to take him to find the Imperial Garden, but after thinking about it, the Imperial Garden is a relatively easy location to find in the palace, and you can ask for the general direction by grabbing a soldier and asking, if you are not a road idiot, you will not be able to find it for so long, and you don't need to arrange an NPC to guide the way.

The Imperial Garden is a key plot location, and this woman insists on taking risks and comes here alone, so she must have something to do with the plot.

Jiang Ling followed the woman towards the north of the Imperial Garden, he looked at the woman's back, wondering if he had missed something, so that he could not determine the identity and position of the woman. After thinking about it, Jiang Ling had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly asked; "Did you hide something next to a well?"

Hearing this, the palace maid suddenly looked surprised, she turned her head and asked, "Have you ever been to the Imperial Garden?" ”

"I..." From the other party's answer, Jiang Ling instantly realized that there was indeed a well in the direction the two of them were walking at this time. Or that the other party's target is precisely that well.

Jiang Ling secretly said in his heart, this woman is not only going to the imperial garden, but also to the well, which is completely consistent with the side quest, which can be concluded that this woman must be a key figure in the plot.

Who knows, not only Jiang Ling is smart, but people are not stupid, and the palace maid then frowned and said, "Are you not here to find the side door at all, but to go to that well, right?" ”

"Sss Jiang Ling frowned again; "How can a maid be so smart?"

The palace maid looked dissatisfied, and snorted lightly: "A little smarter than you." ”

"Don't be proud, I've long found out that something is wrong with you." Jiang Ling raised his hand like a ruffian hooligan and nodded at her, and said: "It is reasonable to say that your ability to observe words and emotions has been cultivated by the side of the Queen Mother, but when I fought with Li Zhiwan just now, you still didn't change your face, but you didn't look like a palace maid who was scared to run away because of the war in the palace." ”

The palace maid tilted her chin and said, "Who said that I had to run because of the war, I can't run for other reasons?" For example, this palace is so stuffy that I want to go out and experience folk life. ”

"Listen, is this human talk?"

"Why isn't it human!?"

"I mean, do you think you're like a palace maid can say it?"

The palace maid was slightly speechless, and then tilted her head and said; "I... I've lived in the palace for too long, and I'm not free at all, isn't that right? ”

Jiang Ling nodded decently and said, "Yes, continue to make it up along this line of thought." ”

"Well, I'll continue..."The palace maid looked at Jiang Ling's eyes widened, and said, "Who made it up, I haven't asked you yet." The palace maid angrily raised her hand and pointed at Jiang Ling and said: "Where did you come from, wearing the clothes of the Praetorian Guard, but killing Xuan Yin Ling and breaking into the imperial garden without permission, this is a big crime, and you are so arrogant, be careful of this palace... Root... I..."

"The maid of the palace?" Jiang Ling looked at Zhiwu's woman, put her hands around her chest, and said angrily and funny: "It seems that the palace maid can't treat me for offending, right?" Jiang Ling leaned forward as he spoke, looked at the big eyes a little closer, and said, "This princess, it's pretty much the same." ”

"You—" The woman took a step back, her expression not changing much, but her eyes still inevitably revealed a hint of panic.

Jiang Ling stood up straight, then sighed lightly, and said, "It's also that I'm too stupid and preconceived, in this world with many spells, it's not trivial to disguise or something." ”

"Who the hell are you?" The woman no longer made unnecessary explanations, and there was a slight solemnity in Shui Ling's eyes.

There is no doubt that the actual identity of this "palace maid" is the eldest princess of Da Zhou!

Because Jiang Ling saw a beautiful woman crying on the side of the East Palace in the battlefield preview, combined with the information that His Majesty the Emperor only had one son and one daughter in the battlefield, he decided that the woman in the preview was the princess, and the appearance of this palace maid was ordinary, which did not match the appearance of the woman in the battlefield preview. Moreover, in front of Tai'an Gate, Jiang Ling also witnessed several Jin Wuwei escorting the princess to escape, so Jiang Ling didn't think about her being the princess at first.

But at this time, looking at the eyes and body shape, it is enough to see that everything else is the same except for the face.

Jiang Ling deliberately made a tentative statement, although this princess is smart, she is too young after all, and the treatment of the pearl in her palm since she was a child also makes her behavior difficult to hide too well, so she still shows her feet.

In this way, the one who escaped from Tai'anmen was naturally a fake princess who was hiding from others.

At this time, the eldest princess Ji Ruhan stared at Jiang Ling vigilantly, she sent someone to pretend to be herself and rushed out of Tai'anmen, and she came to the imperial garden in disguise, naturally there was something important to do, at this time Jiang Ling was surrounded by Jiang Ling's words, so as to be recognized identity, she naturally realized that she was too negligent, although the man in front of him did not look like a bad person, but he behaved strangely and came from an unknown source, whether he was an enemy or a friend was not clear, if he ruined his own big thing, it would be bad.

Jiang Ling saw that she was nervous, so she put away her hippie smiling face, and her face was solemn, and then in order to show her attitude, she simply knelt on the ground and said seriously: "Princess, don't panic, I'm here to protect you." ”

Ji Ruhan was also a little confused by Jiang Ling's respectful appearance, and asked, "Who are you?" And who asked you to come? ”

Jiang Ling reluctantly repeated again: "I really came down from heaven." ”

Ji Ruhan's cheeks bulged, and she hurriedly said, "Are you easy to deceive when you are in this palace?" If you don't tell the truth again, I... I will have you castrated!" Big scissors cut your penis..."

"Okay, I don't need to go into such detail." Jiang Ling was covered in cold sweat and said, "I'm Skywalker, have you heard of it?" ”
