"It's not the best, it's just that the heart of defense is indispensable, from now on keep an eye on the Jade Palace, if she is restless, it will be over early!" The imperial concubine tightened her cloak.

Mama Wang bowed her head and said yes.

"It's just such a good thing, but it's cheap that slut!" The imperial concubine was a little uneasy, if it wasn't for the mercy of the nobleman tonight, it would have been done.

Mama Wang advised: "County lord, the time is still long, if you want the slave to see, it is better to wait for the young lady to have the mind and then match her with the emperor, if it is too stiff, it will not be good for the county lord in the future." ”

"You're right, that girl is very similar to me, although her temperament is soft, but if she is in a hurry, she is also a rabbit who can only bite people." The imperial concubine turned around: "Did you respond to the letter I sent to my brother?" ”

"The county lord forgot, the road is far away, and it will be a few days before the letter is delivered."

"That's it, I'm too anxious!" The imperial concubine wrapped her cloak and turned back into the house.

Three poles on the sun.

A scream broke the silence, Zhong Ling opened his eyes, saw the panicked palace maid on the ground, frowned slightly, and then lay back again, with a hint of displeasure on his face: "What are you fuss about?" ”

"Slaves deserve to die, slaves deserve to die!"

The palace maid kept kowtowing, and Yu Ying on the opposite bed was also woken up, opened the curtain and glanced at it, and said lightly: "You fainted here last night, and I didn't call anyone to come late at night, if you are unwell, go to the Tai Hospital to take a look." ”

"Thank you, girl." The palace maid retreated tremblingly, she didn't know about what happened last night, and it wouldn't be a threat to them at this moment.

It's just that Yu Ying was still a little worried, and sat up straight and looked at Zhong Ling.

"If she went to the Tai Hospital, knew that she was knocked unconscious, and told her aunt, her aunt is so shrewd, she will definitely guess that we have colluded with the poor nobles, what should we do then?"

"No, do you think that the people in the Tai Hospital will casually treat a little palace maid? What kind of place is that, that's the place to diagnose and treat the nobles in the palace, and the silver reward is soft on weekdays, what can the palace maid have? Those imperial doctors are the most mercenary, and they will never agree to diagnose and treat the palace maids. Zhong Ling didn't care too much, stretched his waist and lifted the bed curtain and sat up.

Yu Ying bit her lip: "My aunt seems to be deliberately dedicating me to my uncle last night, Xiao Wu, I'm really afraid." ”

"You don't have to worry, there is still me, a palace maid can't do anything, it's a big deal to tear your face with her, I'll take you away! The third brother is not here, so I naturally want to protect you for him. Zhong Ling has long regarded Yu Ying as his own.

There was a knock at the door, and a voice rang out.

"Girl, the slave is the kitchen cooker, and he came to bring some snacks to the girl."

The two glanced at each other, I don't know who sent the snacks, Zhong Ling stood up and pushed the door open, the person outside the door hung his head and walked in sideways, Zhong Ling was a little stunned, the man raised his head, it was Ayu that Zhong Ling saw yesterday.

"Is that you?"

"It was the nobleman who asked me to come, and the nobleman said that the imperial concubine was fine

Ming, you need to be careful, that's why you came up with this method. Ayu knelt in front of the two with low eyebrows.

Zhong Ling didn't care much about her words, and asked out loud, "But what does your master have to say?" ”

"My nobleman said, today's weather is good, the flowers in the back garden are blooming, invite the two girls to enjoy the flowers, and the nobles are waiting for the two in the lake pavilion."

This is a thoughtful method, and even if it is seen, it can be said to be a chance encounter.

Yu Ying smiled: "Please go back and tell your nobles, and we can come." ”

Ayu bowed and stepped back.

Zhong Ling turned to look at her: "I thought you would repel it." ”

"She helped me yesterday, and I should thank her." Yu Ying took a deep breath and got out of bed.

I tossed and turned last night until the middle of the night before I fell asleep, and my current complexion looked a little pale.

called the palace maid to come in to freshen up Yu Ying, and had breakfast, and the two went to the Huxin Pavilion.

At that time, the poor nobles were already waiting in the pavilion, Ayu was holding a handful of fish food, and she was enthusiastic to feed the koi fish who came around, and they could just see half of the side faces of the poor nobles, which was really pleasing to the eye.

"Go get some more!" After feeding the fish food in the palm of his hand, the poor nobleman was still a little unsatisfied, and told Ayu to go and get some more.

turned his head and saw Zhong Ling and the others, chuckled and said, "You don't need to take it, you can retreat first." ”

Zhong Ling and Yu Ying walked up together, and the noble man got up to greet him: "I've been waiting for the two of you for a long time." ”

"I got up late this morning, and I really can't stand the nobleman."

"I really envy you who are waiting for the word boudoir, after getting married, there are really a lot of involuntary bodies, I want to sleep lazily, but it's a pity that I have to go to see the queen mother, it's really annoying." The poor nobleman pursed his lips and stood still against the pillar behind him, looking lazy.

"The emperor favors and pities the nobles, I don't know how many people envy them, if the nobles have such troubles, how can others live?"

The poor nobleman sighed slowly: "I know very well, but I am pleasing the emperor, and the emperor likes me now, so he prefers me a little, how long can this preference last?" does not have a prominent background like the imperial concubine, let alone a maternal family, but just a leaf of duckweed. ”

Yu Ying thought of the precious Persian cat she kept at home, and suddenly felt that the person in front of her was a little pitiful, no matter how big his temper was, he was just a pet in captivity.

The poor nobleman looked at Yu Ying's gaze and sneered: "Miss Yu, don't look at me like this, it looks like I'm pitiful, come on, let's get down to business!" ”

Sit down at the square table, stretch out his hand to brush the dust in front of the table, and motioned for the two to sit down.

The two sat in front of her, and the poor nobleman looked at Yu Ying fixedly: "Last night was really thrilling, if this girl next to you is one step late, I am afraid that your aunt's wish will be fulfilled, do you know what your aunt did last night?" ”

"What did you do?" Yu Ying's heart sank.

The poor nobleman smiled mysteriously: "Did the emperor drink yesterday?" ”

Yu Ying thought of the pot of flower carvings, and nodded lightly: "It was my aunt who sent someone to get it, the old flower carving." ”

"That's it, there's enough aphrodisiac/medicine in that wine, she's going to send you to the dragon bed."

Yu Ying's face turned pale, she couldn't speak for a long time, she wanted to refute, but unfortunately what she said was the truth, and her aunt didn't shy away from staying in her room for the night yesterday.

He had already been prepared, but he still didn't expect to use tricks on her.

The merciful nobleman looked at Yu Ying's dejected appearance, and sighed: "In order to compete for favor, you really do everything." ”

"I'm a little unwell, I'll go back first!" Yu Ying staggered to her feet and ran back and forth.

The poor nobleman glanced at Ayu, and Ayu hurriedly followed.

Zhong Ling raised his eyes and looked at the noble man: "You called us here, not just for this one thing?" ”

"The girl is a smart person, then I have something to say, I helped you last night, and now I want you to do something for me."

"What?"

"Go to the cold palace and help me find someone." The poor nobleman smiled, as if he was sure that Zhong Ling would help her.

Zhong Ling looked at her quietly: "Why don't you go by yourself?" ”

"Naturally, it's because I can't go, the imperial concubine is watching closely, my people can't even go outside the cold palace, let alone go in to find someone, but you are different, the imperial concubine must not have imagined that her niece would help an outsider."

Zhong Ling didn't say a word, and the noble man said leisurely: "I can also tell you one thing, a few days is the death day of the first emperor, at this time of year, the emperor always has to go to the imperial tomb in person to worship, and will stay in the imperial tomb for three or five days, there are few people around to serve, I am afraid that the imperial concubine will beat Miss Yu's idea at that time, you should prepare as soon as possible." ”

"Who is the poor man looking for?" Zhong Ling spoke in a deep voice.

The poor nobleman chuckled: "It's a palace maid, called Jiang Zi, who originally served in front of the imperial concubine, was sent to the cold palace two years ago, and was not allowed to come out for life, and asked the girl to find her and take her out." ”

"I wrote it down, but God knows about it, you know and I know." Zhong Ling stood up.

The merciful nobleman nodded: "That's natural, the less people know about this matter, the better, it's better for Miss Yu not to know." ”

The merciful nobleman turned around and was about to leave, when Zhong Ling stopped her and asked aloud, "If we want to get out of the palace, do you have a way?" ”

"There is a way, and God does not know the way of ghosts." The corners of the noble man's mouth lifted slightly, passed by Zhong Ling, and disappeared into the back garden.

Zhong Ling returned to the room and saw Yu Ying sitting at the table, a little depressed.

Zhong Ling sighed lightly, walked to the corner of the wall, turned out his short sword and put it on the table, and said, "I'm afraid I can't stay here for a long time." ”

"I'm really sorry for you, you just came out of confinement, and I want you to run around, I thought that the Sifang Country was an excellent place, with the protection of my aunt, you and I can wait for their news with peace of mind.

Yu Ying smiled bitterly.

Zhong Ling pulled out his short sword, took a square handkerchief and wiped it carefully: "Where can I blame you, don't worry, they left me a lot of secret guards when they left, no matter where they go, they can ensure our safety"

Yu Ying nodded lightly and muttered, "This place really can't stay any longer." ”

At night, the two of them went to bed early, and after the sound of even breathing came from the side, Zhong Ling suddenly opened his eyes, felt the short sword in his sleeve, got up, pushed open the window, and jumped out of the house.

Someone outside had already answered, nodded at Zhong Ling, and walked forward.

The two men marched through the darkness until they came to an overgrown courtyard, and the man departed.

Zhong Ling looked at the two-person high courtyard wall in front of him, his eyebrows frowned slightly, not because of the height of the courtyard wall, but because the courtyard wall was covered with sharpened bamboo.

There is a huge lock in front of the door, the lock is covered with dust, and I don't know how long it has not been opened, only there is a small hole under the corner of the wall, I think it is used to deliver food on weekdays, it is said to be a cold palace, but it can be compared to the prison of Yuyun.

Zhong Ling took a deep breath, secretly exerted force under his feet, and climbed over the wall.

Despite her caution, she was hurt by the bamboo, and she stood still in pain, surveying the buildings around her.

It was not much different from the courtyard in front of it, but it was extremely deserted, and there was a strange smell in the dark night.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew the planks with a thumping sound.
