Chapter 15: Late at Night, Find Out
This is indeed a bit strange, why remove the guards of the inner courtyard alone? If Murong Jiuqing hadn't left the gate of the palace, then he would definitely still be in the inner courtyard. But where did he go? Is there something unspeakable to remove the guards from the inner courtyard?
Bai Chu was unpredictable, but she didn't know what was going on, she felt uncomfortable, "You continue to look for it, don't let go of every detail." ”
When Peony heard this, she took people to the palace again to look for Murong Jiuqing.
Bai Churuo faintly felt that this palace did not seem to be so simple, but more complicated than he imagined, he originally thought that a stupid prince was at most a servant and deceived the master, but he didn't expect that someone in the secret wanted to poison Murong Jiuqing, what kind of person didn't even let go of a fool? And those people hadn't acted since she blocked the plan to poison Murong Jiuqing last time, and as far as she knew, even the daily expenses of the palace and the ingredients purchased had become extremely normal these days, as if those things had never happened.
And at this moment, she found these unusual regulations in the palace, what else did she not know about this palace? She always felt like there was something going on that she didn't know was going on in places she couldn't see.
These seem to be even more terrifying than what she has experienced in Baifu, those in Baifu are just some dirty things that can be guessed on the surface, even if you can't guess it, it is nothing more than something to do with a greedy word, unlike the palace where everything is normal but you have to be careful anytime and anywhere.
Bai Churuo felt like he had jumped from one fire pit to another at this moment.
"It's okay, the prince must have forgotten where to play." Xiaolan comforted her when she saw her worried, she felt that Bai Churuo now cared about Murong Jiuqing very much, which was not a good thing, although Murong Jiuqing was a fool, he was not bad to Bai Churuo, and because of this, Bai Churuo could also control Murong Jiuqing very well, which was much stronger than those dumb children, and it was better than those bad days before.
"I hope so." Bai Churuo said lightly.
Peony searched for another afternoon, and only came back in the evening to say, "I didn't find it." ”
"Have you searched all the places?" Bai Churuo asked carefully.
"Except for the forbidden place of the palace, I went to look for every place in the rest of the place, even in the grass, but unfortunately there was nothing." Peony said.
"Forbidden land?" Bai Chu was hesitant and confused.
There is indeed a forbidden place in the palace, and in the middle and back of the palace is also a courtyard in the courtyard, which is the courtyard where the old princess lived in the past, as well as the Buddhist hall where the ancestors were enshrined, and the place where the ancestors were ranked.
Intuition told Bai Churuo that Murong Jiuqing was there, but could he still understand those if he was mentally retarded?
Bai Churuo was successfully aroused by curiosity, and she decided to go to the forbidden place to find out, of course not now.
Bai Churuo suppressed this matter in his heart, cooked, ate, walked, washed as usual, and went to bed at night.
It wasn't until he entered the change that Bai Churuo got up and went out again.
Xiao Lan, who was on duty at night, saw this, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”
Bai Churuo made a silent gesture and whispered, "Be quiet, I'll go to the forbidden land to find the prince now, and you can follow." ”
Xiaolan covered her mouth in surprise and whispered, "This is not good. ”
"What's wrong, I'm really worried about him, and I'm not worried about finding him." Bai Churuo said.
"Do you want to shout peonies?" Xiaolan asked.
"It's okay to call her up and watch the door, so as not to be discovered." Bai Churuo said.
Xiaolan nodded in response, and then went to call out the peony.
Peony was sleeping in a daze, and when she heard that they were going out, she immediately got up, "I want to go too, I'm worried about the eldest lady." ”
"Don't worry about me, I'm also the princess and the mistress of the palace now, even if I am discovered, there is nothing." Bai Churuo said.
"Then I'll wait here for you to come back." Peony said.
"Well, you watch the door and don't let people in and find out we're not there." Xiaolan said that although no one in the palace would come to her except Murong Jiuqing, she should still be cautious.
"Okay." Peony said.
After speaking, Bai Churuo took Xiaolan to the backyard.
The backyard is at the back of the inner courtyard, and in the past few days, because of the strange regulations of the palace, there are no people who keep vigil, and the entire inner courtyard to the backyard is also lit in the courtyard where Bai Churuo lives.
The courtyard and the path and the corridor behind it are dark and a little gloomy, the inner courtyard is still popular, as soon as you leave the corridor of the inner courtyard to the backyard, there is not even a trace of popularity, there is no one living here for many years, in the dead of night, it is extremely terrifying.
Bai Churuo dared to light a small lamp here.
Little Lan Se trembled and whispered, "Miss, let's go back." ”
Bai Churuo pursed her lips lightly, "If you're afraid, go back." ”
In fact, Bai Churuo was also a little afraid, she was an atheist before, but after she crossed over, her mind had changed, but curiosity and worry about Murong Jiuqing were better than everything, she had to go to the backyard to have a look.
Xiaolan stopped talking and followed, but her teeth made a frightened sound.
Bai Churuo opened the way in front, holding a small lamp in her hand, holding her breath and continuing to walk forward, at this moment she could only hear her own breathing and heartbeat, as well as the sound of Xiao Lan trembling.
The backyard courtyard is lonely and layered, and the plants on the walls are also trimmed, but they just look eerie.
A large gate blocked the way of the two, and the wall was two people high to the left and right.
"What should I do?" Xiaolan asked.
"Find your way in." Bai Chu was about to push the door in, but the door was locked from the inside and couldn't be opened at all.
However, this is also a good proof that there are really people inside, otherwise the door must have been locked from the outside.
"I had no choice but to climb over the wall and get in." Bai Churuo said.
"Huh?" Xiaolan looked at the two-person high wall and let out a suspicious sound.
"Ahh Without saying a word, Bai Churuo grabbed a handful of those plant vines, and then tried them one by one to see where they were the most solid.
Bai Churuo found the one that felt the most solid, and climbed up with both hands and feet.
Xiaolan was anxious below, "Miss, I don't dare." ”
"Then you wait here." Bai Churuo said.
Xiaolan was naturally a little reluctant, worried about Bai Churuo's safety and afraid that she was here alone, but she tried several times without success, and she wouldn't be able to climb the wall at all.
Bai Churuo quickly climbed to the top of the wall, and climbed down the plants on the other side.
The inside of the backyard is even more lonely than the outside, and there is no cleaning inside, which is simply another world compared to the rest of the palace.
