Chapter 4 is running out of time

In a blink of an eye, it has been the third day since I arrived in the palace, and I found that, as Sister Yulan said, this palace is indeed not a place where we can move around at will and "look for people" at will.

Because, the door of this maid's lock is not only locked, but there are people guarding the door.

It wasn't difficult to get out of the lockhouse over the wall, but when I climbed up the wall, I noticed that there were patrols outside.

In this way, there is no way to leave the maid lock house, and even if I do, I will be caught immediately, because I am not familiar with the palace at all.

At night, two more palace maids came to deliver hot water, and this time, I found that one pot was flower petals, and the other pot was slightly greenish soup?

"How is this water the color of this?" I opened my mouth and asked one of the palace maids.

"Sister Yan, you forget, they are all "dumb" day by day, and if they don't speak, they will suffocate sooner or later. Yue Yunxiang looked at the two palace maids, when she first came, Yue Yunxiang always talked to them, and now it is the third day, she is also familiar with the temperament of these palace maids, and they are all silent.

It's rare to reply, and it's all "um".

"But it's so fragrant, Sister Yan, this is probably a medicinal bath, I'll soak this." Yue Yunxiang sniffed the hot water and said something to me.

I nodded, looking at the green color, I always felt that it would not be clean.

The two palace maids glanced at each other, and then they both retreated outside the door and waited.

I took off my clothes and soaked in the water, still wondering where to start.

"Sister Yan, you say, has Sister Ruixue been favored by His Royal Highness the Prince? Otherwise, why don't you come back after three days? Yue Yunxiang looked at me and asked suspiciously.

"Who knows." I don't care about what the prince is not very like, I just feel that what I think is too simple, and now that I come in, I am a little at a loss, looking for my senior sister, and I have no eyebrows.

As I spoke, I fell into deep thought again, and my mind was a mess.

"Sister Yan? Sister Yan? ”

Yue Yunxiang had already soaked and put on her clothes, and when she saw that I was still soaking in the bucket, she called me several times.

"Huh?" I looked back at her, wiped it quickly, and got out of the tub.

Yue Yunxiang saw that I had changed into my bedclothes and went to open the door, but I glanced at the water that Yue Yunxiang had soaked in, and found that the water color had become slightly black again?

However, before I could see clearly, the two palace maids came in with a few eunuchs and carried the water away.

At this moment, I was thinking about how to find my senior sister, so I didn't think deeply.

Yue Yunxiang is also obedient today, usually chattering, always talking to me before going to bed, but today is very abnormal, after those people left, Yue Yunxiang obediently went to bed to rest.

I couldn't sleep at all because I had something in my heart, Yue Yunxiang breathed evenly, and I slept quite well.

Seeing that she was already asleep, I closed my eyes too.

I don't know how long I slept, but I vaguely felt someone tugging on the futon, so I opened my eyes in a daze.

As a result, Yue Yunxiang, who was originally sleeping beside me, suddenly sat up.

"Rue? What happened to you? Do you want to get rid of it? I asked vaguely.

Yue Yunxiang didn't answer my question, but got up directly from the bed, and after getting out of bed, she walked in the direction of the door.

I rubbed my eyes and prepared to get up and light Yue Yunxiang.

As a result, I heard small footsteps coming from outside the corridor, and the footsteps should be the sound of several people walking outside.

This made me, who was still a little chaotic, wake up in an instant, and immediately thought in my mind if Zhong Ruixue was back.

"Squeak!"

The door was opened, and I heard Aunt Zheng's voice!

"Get on the sedan chair."

Aunt Zhen was directing, Yue Yunxiang got up and went out with those people, and during this time, I didn't hear Yue Yunxiang say a word.

When Aunt Zhen had said this, she seemed to take two steps towards me, and I immediately closed my eyes, and in a short time she withdrew again, and closed the door of the room.

As soon as I heard the sound of the door closing, I immediately got up from the bed, ran to the window barefoot, and secretly opened the window to see the situation outside.

In the courtyard, two palace maids carried lanterns, and four eunuchs dressed as people lifted a sedan chair and walked towards the outside of the maid's lock.

Is it Yue Yunxiang's turn to block the trouble for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tonight? But why hasn't anyone informed us today?

With a personality like Yue Yunxiang, if Aunt Zhen had told her, she would definitely not hide it from me, and besides, I have been with her all day, except for those palace maids and eunuchs, I have not seen anyone else.

Thinking like this, when I walked out of the courtyard, those people had already disappeared with Yue Yunxiang, I sighed slightly, and returned to the house with a heavy heart.

So, I'm next, right? But I haven't thought of any way yet, to listen to the news of my senior sister, and I will leave the palace after blocking the evil, and I am afraid that it will be more difficult to enter again.

I sat on the edge of the bed and pondered, without Yue Yunxiang, it seemed very deserted.

"Click!"

When there were footsteps outside again, it was already the time for the palace maid to deliver breakfast.

The maid knocked on my door, as before, and I thought that I could not wait any longer, so I took out the silver purse from my baggage.

When she came in and laid down the food box to leave, I stopped her at once, and put the heavy bag of money into her hand.

The other party was startled and looked at me with a shocked expression, not knowing what I was going to do.

"This sister, don't be afraid, I just want to ask you a few questions." I said and glanced in the direction of the door.

She held the money bag in her hand, her expression a little tangled.

"Is there going to be a happy event in the palace? Like canonizing a princess or something? I asked, looking at her.

She was stunned, put away the money bag, and then shook her head: "I haven't heard of it yet, I'm just the last palace maid." ”

"So, is there any newcomer in the palace?" I pressed again.

"There are a group of show girls who have entered the palace." She thought for a moment and said.

"It's not a show girl, the priestess, is there any newcomer?" I can only make it clearer.

"Girl, we are palace maids, we can't even enter the door of the priest, how can we know if they have a newcomer?" After the palace maid finished speaking, she turned around to leave.

I hurriedly stretched out my hand to grab her, and she turned back to me a little nervously and said, "Girl, if I stay here for a long time, I will be suspicious of the guards outside." ”

"I ask the last question, a blessed girl, how many days does it take to block evil? How many days can I stay in the palace? I hurried to ask one last question.

She thought for a while: "This is not necessarily, at most it can block seven days, some people will be three days, two days, in short, every two or three days, a blessed girl will leave this courtyard." ”

After she finished speaking, she broke free of my hand and hurried away.
