Concubine Chun watched coldly as her father-in-law moved the screen away.

Meaningless things, she didn't care about at all for a long time.

What she cares about is that another few months have passed, and there is no progress in the search for the palace, and there is no news from outside the palace.

She walked outside the door, looked up at her father-in-law, who was replacing the glazed tiles on the roof, and turned to the back garden.

Ye Nan was also waiting for her here.

"Niangniang, her subordinates have sent people to secretly observe that Yingzi in the past few days, and she never goes out alone except for following Concubine Jing in and out every day. However, there is one thing that is very strange...... "Ye Nan glanced at Concubine Chun.

"Go on." The tone of the blunt command.

"It's that Na Yingzi likes to eat seafood such as fish and shrimp very much, so Concubine Jing occasionally instructs the imperial kitchen to help Gu Fangyuan buy some fresh seafood and come back. The subordinates inquired and said that Yingzi was originally from the Kongsang Kingdom, so he liked to eat the food of his hometown, which was not surprising, but "Ye Nan was afraid that he would talk too much, and Concubine Chun would be annoyed, so he stopped."

"Go on!" Concubine Chun answered coldly.

"However, there is one thing that is very suspicious, that is, every time the purchaser of the imperial dining room sends it to Gufangyuan, Yingzi has to pick it up and take it in by himself, and never pretend to others."

"Oh, there must be a problem here, send someone to keep an eye on her and continue to investigate." Concubine Chun's eyes flashed with fierce fierceness.

Inside the Lonely Fang Garden.

"Yingzi, guess what's delicious tonight." Yulian looked at Yingzi, who was standing quietly, and teased her.

"Mother, you're not going to buy seafood again, are you?"

"Exactly, yesterday I asked the comprador of the imperial dining room, and today I will buy some crabs, sea cucumbers, and clams, all of which you like." After Yulian finished speaking, looking at the smile gradually on Yingzi's face, she was inexplicably happy.

She really admires Yingzi, why can she do it, one expression can last all day.

As for yourself, you may be able to pretend when there are many people, but when you are alone, you can seamlessly switch between various expressions.

"It's almost here, I'll pick it up." Yingzi embarrassedly put away her smile, turned around and walked out.

Yingzi waited at the gate of the garden for a quarter of an hour, and it was a little strange that she hadn't seen a figure yet.

Normally, at this time, the food delivery person has already arrived, but today there is not even a shadow.

She looked around again, but there was still no one, and her heart became even more suspicious.

Concubine Jing is now the emperor's favorite person, although she has never been arrogant, but the people in the palace are all good enough to see through the six-foot deep water, how can they not care about Concubine Jing's affairs?

Moreover, this seafood is a fresh word, landed in the early morning, and eaten before noon to ensure its umami.

Therefore, seeing that lunch time is coming, the procurement office will only send it early every time, even if it gives him great courage, he will not dare to delay.

Yingzi thought about it, and went out in the direction of the imperial dining room.

Turning the rockery, Yingzi shrank quickly and hid behind the rockery.

Father-in-law Fan and the other two little eunuchs were surrounded by a group of guards, and the wooden basin full of seafood was neatly placed on the ground.

Gong Fan shouted aggrievedly: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the seafood that Concubine Jing ordered her servants to buy, and it is by no means unruly. ”

"I know, this is a routine inspection, and my father-in-law is waiting." A janissary said coldly.

"The slave knows, but please hurry up and find out and let go! If it's too late, I won't be able to catch Concubine Jing's lunch. Father-in-law Fan cried and was anxious.

The guards ignored him, but still carefully picked up the crabs one by one, looking at them all up, down, left and right, even the straw rope that bound the crabs.

As for the clams, they also picked them up one by one and looked at them carefully, so they almost broke them apart and examined them.

Fan Gonggong was so anxious that he looked up and saw that the sun was getting higher and higher, for fear of missing the lunch time, and for fear of being disturbed by this group of guards, the sea water would overflow, and then the seafood would probably become not fresh in the sea, so he was so anxious that he rushed to the front of the guards, carefully scooped up the crab with his own hands, and put it in front of the leader of the leader, so that he could check it carefully.

Yingzi behind the rockery saw that the guards had checked so carefully, and he already understood seven or eight points in his heart.

She turned around and retreated silently, still guarding the door of the Lonely Garden.

After a quarter of an hour, the Praetorian finally found nothing and departed.

Fan Gonggong and the others held the wooden basin and hurried to Gufang Garden.

Yingzi saw them from afar, and naturally greeted them, and asked a little annoyed, "What's the matter, it was sent so late." ”

"Miss Yingzi, don't you know, today the palace has strengthened its precautions, saying that everything that enters and leaves the palace must be carefully inspected, starting from the palace gate, a total of three checks. The slave was originally afraid of delaying Jingnu Niangniang's lunch, and it was also a lot of time in advance, but it turned out to be late. Father-in-law Fan wiped the sweat on his face and whispered.

Yingzi took the basin of water, did not answer, and led them in the direction of the dining room as usual.

Behind the rockery, Ye Nan looked at Yingzi's back as usual, and frowned.

Lunch was half an hour late, Yulian sat down and said casually: "Why is it so late, starving me." ”

"Father-in-law Fan said that on the way to deliver it today, he was checked three times, so it was late." Yingzi replied lightly.

"Oh, that's not his fault." Yulian said lightly. The guards strengthened the inspection, of course she would not be surprised, this was the strategy of her and Emperor Xuanyuan, and they were slowly strengthening the vigilance in various places in the palace.

Yulian looked at Yingzi, who was still standing aside, "Yingzi, sit down and eat together!" As he spoke, he pulled the corner of Yingzi's clothes with his hand.

Yingzi's body stiffened, and Yulian couldn't pull it at all.

"Don't worry, the emperor won't come over at noon, hurry up and sit down to eat together, it's lively when there are many people eating." Yulian simply stood up and pressed Yingzi's shoulders.

"Niangniang, this is not in accordance with the rules, I will never dare next time." Yingzi sat down straight and said stiffly.

"Okay, let's talk about it next time! Eat quickly. As he spoke, he sandwiched a crab and put it in Yingzi's bowl, but he thought that Yingzi was a little abnormal today, and when the emperor didn't come, the two of them ate together! Why do you seem so rusty today?

What about Yingzi? Thinking about the appearance of the guards when they inspected the seafood earlier, I was so worried that I couldn't swallow it. So eat very little.

She knew that danger was coming, so she had to keep a certain distance from Concubine Jing, and when the East Window incident happened, she could not clear up her relationship with herself.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and they didn't eat as comfortably as before, so they hastily harvested them.

Yushinomiya.

"Niangniang, recently in the Gufang Garden, I bought seafood once, and my subordinates took advantage of the palace to strictly inspect it, and they have carefully checked it, and there is nothing suspicious, is it because my subordinates are thinking too much." Ye Nan reported to Concubine Chun in a low voice.

"In a month, I have only bought once, and the quantity has decreased significantly, is it because you are startled, she will reduce the purchase when she notices." Concubine Chun seemed to be talking to herself, and she seemed to be questioning Ye Nan.

"The subordinates don't dare, they never dare to act privately." Ye Nan was so frightened that he immediately fell to his knees.

After a while, seeing that Concubine Chun was no longer speechless, she replied cautiously: "Niangniang is really like a god, I guessed that the emperor did not investigate the poisoning of the prince and princess on the surface, but secretly he would definitely strengthen the inspection of entering and leaving the palace." The subordinates also strictly obeyed Niangniang's orders, but they also took this opportunity to strictly inspect the seafood in Gufangyuan, and there was nothing else that exceeded the rules. ”

"I don't dare." Concubine Chun glanced at Ye Nan disdainfully: "The palace continued to stare at her, sent a message to the people outside the palace, and asked them to check carefully outside, didn't it mean that before Na Yingzi entered the palace, she lived in the Dongfang Mansion for several months?" If you check carefully, you must find out her details. ”

"Niangniang, if you send someone to Dongfang Mansion to investigate, your subordinates are afraid that they will alarm Dongfang, and his friendship with Concubine Jing is very good!" Ye Nan said with some sorrow.

"Hmph, I'm still afraid that they won't have a good relationship? You can rest assured and boldly check, ostensibly focusing on the relationship between Concubine Jing and Dongfang, sometimes you can reveal your identity appropriately and ambiguously, understand? Concubine Jing played with the Jinpa in her hand.

"The subordinates understand, of course, they were ordered by the emperor to investigate." Ye Nan smiled and retreated.

Night, Lonely Garden.

Yingzi sat quietly in front of the window, a bright moon in the sky was like frost, and he was far away, could he also be looking at this round of clear moon.

Thoughts go back to seven years ago......

Yingzi was fifteen years old, and he went to the rivers and lakes to buy art with his senior brother of the same age, and lived in the imperial capital of Kongsang Kingdom, Dongjun.

In order to keep Yingzi fed and clothed, the senior brother took her into a waiting house, and at first thought it was just a job of guarding the family and nursing home-

Unbeknownst to them, as soon as they stepped through the door, they were taken to a secret place, where they underwent countless harsh trainings and countless tests of life and death.

Five years later, they were trained to be the dead soldiers of the Empty Sang Kingdom.

It's also - fine-grained.

Two years ago, after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Bai Yin stood leisurely in the shadows of the dark room, looking at the expressionless Yingzi in front of him.

Although it was late autumn, he still gently shook the folding fan in his hand, and said softly and gracefully: "In a few days, Princess 'Qinglian' will come to Dongjun, and when the time comes, I will try to arrange for you to meet, which is also your only chance to enter the Xuanyuan Palace." ”

After Bai Yin finished speaking, Yingzi didn't speak, but looked at him with his eyes.

Bai Yin understood Yingzi's concerns, smiled slightly, squinted and said, "Alas, rest assured." This princess is different, she has chivalrous rivers and lakes in her chest, she is a strange woman, and when she sees a strange woman with superb swordsmanship like you, she will definitely cherish you, understand. Bai Yin smiled and finished speaking, his face seemed to be fascinated, he paused for a while, and then continued: "What's more, there is also the ingenious arrangement of this prince." ”

In the past, in Yingzi's eyes, Baiyin was lazy and gentle on the surface, elegant and funny; In fact, it is ruthless, and the city government is extremely deep and hidden.

Therefore, who would have thought that the huge spy organization of Kongsang Country was controlled by him.

Moreover, everyone in the world sighs that the prince of Baiyin is elegant and lazy, and he is unsuspecting to him, so that he can do more with half the effort.

However, this is the first time he has truly praised someone.

The praise is still one, his opponent.
