Lin Qingwan sat in front of the vanity mirror and carefully applied bright red lipstick.

She pursed her lips, turned around and asked Xiao Tan standing behind her, "How is it?" Scary? ”

Xiao Tan looked at Lin Qingwan, nodded reluctantly, and said bitterly, "Miss, now that we are in the palace, we are no better than in the palace, if we are bumped into, we must not be arrested as assassins." Miss, Inu see that you should not go! ”

Lin Qingwan wore his hair loose in front of the mirror, and his pale face was rehearsing various expressions of resentment.

"Don't worry! Little Tan! If I'm caught, I'll say I'm sleepwalking! When Zizhu arrives, you will say, you are out to find me, and you must not use force unless you have to. ”

Zizhu was wearing a night coat and stood at the table with her arms crossed, "Okay, Miss! ”

Lin Qingwan put on a black cloak to cover his white skirt, "Have all the palace people in the courtyard slept?" ”

"They all fell asleep, and the palace door was locked."

"Xiao Tan, take good care of your home, I'll go back with Zizhu."

Xiao Tan looked reluctant, "Miss, you have to be careful." ”

"Don't worry! You have to believe in our light work. ”

Lin Qingwan and Zizhu performed light skills and walked out of the palace gate, and as soon as they came out, they saw a team of patrolling palace people coming from a distance, and they hurriedly hid in the imperial garden, intending to go around the palace of the full moon from the imperial garden.

They whispered through the rockeries by the moonlight. Zizhu suddenly reached out and grabbed Lin Qingwan, signaling that someone was coming. They hurriedly squatted down, and in the dark night, through the cracks in the rockery, they could only see two figures sneaking over.

Lin Qingwan thought of the costume dramas he had watched before, and the imperial garden at night was generally used for... I can't help but secretly say in my heart, is this my idea bad or they are too frequent, you can bump into this kind of thing on the first night of entering the palace, don't listen to it, don't look at it.

"You go and pass a word to Master Gu tomorrow, what Niangniang explained, he is so lazy, I'm afraid he didn't forget back then, who helped him change the account books, so that he could survive for so many years. Maybe one day Niangniang loses patience, and what happened to the He family back then is what he is now. ”

"Yes, Mama, the slave must convey the meaning of the mother."

Someone outside the Imperial Garden shouted, "What person? ”

The two ran in two directions, Lin Qingwan and Zizhu hid behind the rockery, trying to hide themselves. Lin Qingwan thought in his heart that there were two of them to attract attention, and after everyone left, they would take the opportunity to come out. Unexpectedly, when the two groups of people went to chase each other, there was only one person left at the scene.

A cold light flashed, Lin Qingwan felt a chill on her neck, and the man came to her with a sword at some point.

Lin Qingwan pressed the Zizhu next to him who was about to make a move, and said to the person in front of him, "Second Brother Zhao, I'm Qingwan!" ”

Hearing this familiar voice, Zhao Chen hurriedly withdrew his sword, "In the middle of the night, why are you here?" ”

Lin Qingwan didn't know what to say, and he didn't answer for a long time.

Zhao Chen looked left and right, "No, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, I'll send you back quickly." ”

Zhao Chen is the commander of the forbidden army, and it stands to reason that he can't enter the backyard, and now he is taking the risk of sending Lin Qingwan back to the palace while there is no one around, "Go back quickly, stop messing around!" ”

Lin Qingwan nodded, "Second brother, you should also be careful, don't let people see it!" With that, he returned to his room with a light effort.

Zhao Chen, who was outside the palace walls, couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Lin Qingwan perform light skills for the first time, is this still the Lin Xiang's daughter he knows?

As soon as Lin Qingwan entered the door, he saw Xiao Tan biting his lip and standing at the door timidly, and he was not happy at all to see them coming back.

"Xiao Tan, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Qingwan didn't know what was going on, and Xiao Tan gave her a look in the inner room. She followed Xiao Tan's gaze, Xiao Muning was sitting at the table, looking at her with her chin on a gloomy face.

I didn't expect that he could enter the inner courtyard of this palace wall, how did he do it? There is no shelter in the palace at all, she simply wanted to go from the west to the east of the imperial garden but couldn't achieve it, this old brother's martial arts are too good!

Lin Qingwan had an unnatural smile on his face, "The prince is here!" Why didn't you let me know in advance! ”

Xiao Muning looked at her from top to bottom, and his posture did not change and ignored her. After contacting him for a while, Lin Qingwan knew that this was the calm before the storm.

She bit her lip, "Forehead... Xiao Tan, Zizhu, go back to sleep first! I have something to say to the prince! ”

Seeing this, the two of them were a little uneasy, and walked out step by step, closing the door.

Lin Qingwan unbuttoned her cloak, walked over and sat down opposite Xiao Muning, but before she could confess, she was preempted by Xiao Muning.

He suddenly remembered that the hidden guard had repeated Zhao Lingxiao's words to him before, and said in a faint voice, "If it weren't for the marriage contract with me, Zhao Chen would really be a good destination!" This second brother is really dear! It just so happens that a close friend in the boudoir has become a sister-in-law, and it's a beautiful thing to think about. ”

Yes? Why does this sound so familiar! Lin Qingwan frowned in her mind a few times before she suddenly realized, she hurriedly explained sincerely, "Lord Wang, you misunderstood!" I met him in the Imperial Garden! ”

Xiao Muning snorted, "Imperial Garden? The forbidden army is not allowed to enter the backyard, and in the middle of the night, I am really a little curious about how you met him? ”

Lin Qingwan was choked by his words, and he was a little speechless for a while. He is like this now, obviously he just doesn't want her to explain it properly.

Lin Qingwan also followed his example and looked at him with his chin clubbed, "Lord Wang, are you jealous?" ”

There was a hint of dodging in Xiao Muning's eyes, and he changed his posture, "On the first day you entered the palace, you didn't sleep in your own dormitory in the middle of the night, and went to the imperial garden to meet other men." How do you think I should react? ”

"I can sit upright in this matter, and I can explain it to the prince. But can the prince listen calmly? ”

"Then you can say it! I'll listen! ”

Lin Qingwan started talking from meeting the palace maid Xiuhe at noon, until she met Zhao Chen and was sent back by him.

Xiao Muning became even more angry after hearing this, and scolded Lin Qingwan with his head and face, "Nonsense! Whatever you think the palace is, you can do whatever you want! If the person you met today hadn't been Zhao Chen, you would have been rectified on the spot long ago! It's only the first day of entering the palace, and you're going to stab Lou Zi? ”

"I'm curious, too! And flying on the walls in the palace is not what I imagined. Lin Qingwan whispered that this was indeed different from what she saw in the TV series.

"Can curiosity be lawless? No wonder you're dressed like this! Just to scare Xiuhe? Xiao Muning saw that she was dressed in white, and her lips were bright red.

Lin Qingwan nodded and said with annoyance, "Well, it's a pity that I didn't even touch the door of the eldest princess's bedroom!" ”

Xiao Muning glanced at her helplessly, "Such a big matter, why don't you know to discuss it with me!" I don't weigh how many pounds and taels I have, I just go when I say I'll go. When things get bigger, won't you be even more dangerous! ”

"Okay, lord! Don't talk about me anymore, I've learned a long lesson! ”

Xiao Muning couldn't bear to continue to talk about her when he saw her like this, "Okay, then let's get down to business!" When I came in just now, I checked the incense burner and flowers in your house, and there was nothing unusual! Reach out, I'll give you a pulse! ”

Lin Qingwan stretched out his arm suspiciously, "Will the prince still take the pulse?" ”

Xiao Muning took her pulse, "When I have nothing to do, I follow the military medicine of the army." Fortunately, you're just a little cold, don't be greedy for cold. ”

Lin Qingwan withdrew his hand, "Lord Wang, you said that Xiuhe, seeing me so scared, do you know something?" ”

Xiao Muning played with the teacup in front of him, "Xiuhe is a person from the Yingyue Palace, do you say that Yingyue will also have something to do with this matter!" ”

Judging from intuition alone, Lin Qingwan didn't think that such a careful arrangement could be made by Yingyue's character, "I don't think this matter has anything to do with the eldest princess, Xiuhe's reaction when she saw me today, I think she is also quite puzzled." ”

The situation in the palace was already complicated, Xiao Muning nodded, "I will send someone to check on Xiuhe when I go back, you can be more peaceful these days, even if you find anything, don't act rashly." Remember? ”

Lin Qingwan obediently agreed, "Well, I know! ”

The words were said and the things were done, Xiao Muning was about to get up and leave, but Lin Qingwan stopped him, "Wait a minute, there is one more thing!" Didn't I tell you that I met two people in the Imperial Garden? I heard that the grandmother asked the little eunuch to go to Master Gu and ask him to do something, if he didn't do it well, he would end up like Lord He. Which adult in the court is surnamed Gu, and which adult is surnamed He? Do you know? ”

Surname He! This surname Xiao Muning was too familiar, he looked at Lin Qingwan in a daze, and was so shocked that he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Lin Qingwan looked at him with a strange expression, "Lord Wang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xiao Muning clasped her arms with both hands, "You repeat their words in full." ”

Isn't Xiao Muning's reaction a little too radical, Lin Qingwan hesitated, "Huh? They said that Niangniang felt that Lord Gu was not in a good position, and threatened him that in order to save his life, she helped him change the account books, and if he didn't do it quickly, it would be the same fate as Lord He back then. ”

Lin Qingwan brushed the logic for a moment, felt that his thinking was clear, and nodded affirmatively, "Well, that's it!" ”

"I've got something, let's go first!" Xiao Muning left in a hurry after hearing this, leaving Lin Qingwan with a blank face.

"What's wrong with him?"
