Chapter 436: Finding the Footprints

The sky was slightly bright, the air was frosty, and the white mist filled the sky and the earth, and there was no vision beyond a zhang.

It was not yet the time of the early dynasty, and most of the palace people had not gotten up, and the thick fog quietly covered the harem, as if exuding a haunting magic. Last night there was a heavy snowfall, as if it had cleansed everything in the heavens and the earth, and the morning fog added another layer of whiteness.

At this time, few people haunt any roads, but the trail of the Imperial Garden is marked with a series of footprints in the snow.

The maid who got up in the morning to collect ice dew ran back nervously, and said to Xiao Qi who was dressing up in a panic, "Sister, I... I saw the emperor pass by the Imperial Garden and walk towards the Imperial Palace!"

Xiao Qi was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "At this time, why is the emperor here, and where did he stay last night?"

"I don't know, do you want to tell the master about this?" the maid lowered her head, a little tangled. "The emperor just passed by the Plum Garden, maybe he hasn't left the Imperial Garden at the moment......"

Xiao Qi was stunned, put the comb on the stage, and stood up nervously. After a moment's hesitation, she drifted out like a wisp of smoke, and walked eagerly but softly.

Yue Guiren was still a little annoyed when she was woken up, the early morning in winter was the best time to lie in bed, and the sleepiness she tossed and turned last night extended to this day.

Recently, Yue Guiren has always been very sleepy, and after being rejected by Concubine Xian, he recuperated in bed. She knew that the emperor had been busy with things inside and outside the palace recently, and even Concubine Xue couldn't meet him, let alone herself.

However, what Xiao Qi said still made her panic.

"What did you say?" Yue Gui's heart tightened, and he sat up extremely reluctantly.

Xiao Qi knelt beside the bed and whispered: "Master, do you want the slave and maid to go and investigate? The emperor hurriedly went back at this time, maybe it wasn't who he favored, but something happened?"

Yue Guiren angrily lifted the quilt, quickly put on his shoes, and took a few clothes regardless of the cold. "Quick, put it on! I'm going to figure it out!"

Xiao Qi said anxiously while dressing the nobleman: "Master, you can't ask the emperor directly! Perhaps, he has already left the imperial garden at this moment, after all, there is still an hour before the early dynasty!"

"I'm not looking for him, I'm going to see the footprints!" Yue Guiren clenched his fists very tightly, gritted his teeth and said: "Since you are returning to the palace at a fast pace and passing by the Plum Garden, it must not have come out of Drunken Moon Xuan." In this harem, is there any slut out of the soil again?"

At this time, the people of Drunken Moon Xuan had just gotten up. Lotus Seed cleans the yard and clears the snow from the road.

Lan Shui talked to Xue Ze about some plans last night, and went to Xihai Mansion early this morning to do a big and small turnover. Xi Haiyu's affairs are enough for him to be busy, whether it is Xue Ze's design or last night's emergency, Lan Shui can't help but take action.

Yukisawa stood in the doorway, looked at the hazy fog, and smiled softly.

"In a few days, the affairs of Xihai Mansion and Xue Mansion will be in an uproar, and I also have a good chance to go to Taimiao!

After such a long time, the fragrance of flowers in the yard still did not disperse, and Yukisawa remembered what to do now when he smelled it.

"Lotus seeds!"

"Senior sister, what's wrong?"

"Clean up, I'll go and dispose of the flowers!"

Lianzi was slightly stunned, followed Yukizawa's footsteps, and didn't stop until the backyard.

"Senior sister, why do you want to deal with it? I think this flower is very beautiful, and the taste is not annoying, are you afraid that He Yu will find trouble?"

Yukisawa shook his head and looked at the two pots of flowers on the flower stand. "Supposedly, this is a gift carefully prepared by others, I shouldn't have thrown it away! However, it's always not good to keep it, and this thing will be involved in Xihai Mansion in a few days!"

"How so?"

"Half of this flower comes from Xihai Yu, that is the sacred grass of Xihai Mansion, and the next plan is related to it!" Xue Ze picked up a pot and said as he walked: "The most beautiful pot has been destroyed by me, do you still feel sorry for these? In my impression, you never cherish flowers and plants!"

Lotus Seed snorted, picked up another pot and followed. "So where are we going to take it? Why don't we have a good time and turn it into smoke?"

"It's someone's will, I can't be so bad. I can't help but bury these two pots in a corner of the Imperial Garden according to the gift of flowers!"

Across a river, there is a faint figure of a person in the fog.

Yue Guiren walked briskly along the footprints, eliminating the suspicious people in his heart one by one.

"This place has avoided the Tang Ruren's dormitory, and it's not her! Let's go, I want to see who it is!"

Xiao Qi helped Yue Guiren, and was suddenly startled, and she caught a figure not far away with a casual glance.

"What are you shaking?"

"Master, the slave sees someone over there!"

"Someone so early, who?"

Yue Guiren moved his gaze and looked at the two figures on the other side of the river. The wind blew the fog, and the clothes and postures of the two could be faintly seen.

"Hmph, don't look at it, let's go!"

Xiao Qi nodded, she also recognized that the two were the two of Drunken Moon Xuan, she didn't dare to touch the anger of the Yue nobles.

As she walked, Yue Guiren suddenly stopped, she looked at Xiao Qi in surprise and wondered for a long time.

"Master, you... Why do you look at slaves like this?"

Yue Guiren's eyes rolled and he sighed. "You say, Xue Concubine also knows?"

"Know what?"

"What do you say?" Yue Guiren slapped him, and Xiao Qi almost couldn't stand steadily. "Do you want me to tell me knowingly?

Xiao Qi knelt in fear and cried in a low voice. "The slave has no heart, please forgive the master!"

"Hehe, who isn't unintentional?" Yue Guiren was in a complicated mood, listening to Xiao Qi's cry felt a lot better, and she walked forward by herself.

There is an obsession in her heart, she must find out the source of this footprint.

Hearing Xiao Qi follow, Yue Guiren's words couldn't help it again. "You say, where are the concubines going with the flowers? This winter, shouldn't they be going to bury the flowers?"

"Maybe, that flower looks novel, it should be a reward from the emperor, this ......"

Yue Guiren pursed his lips and smiled, feeling a lot better in his heart. "Ho, even the favored Xue Concubine has a disappointed day! In the cold winter morning of the New Year, I went out with the flowers sent by the emperor who I hadn't seen for a long time, and buried them in the cold soil, just like... Bury your own heart!"

Before Xiao Qi could reply, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Yue Guiren stopping. Looking around, the footprints just disappeared in front of me, and the familiar houses here are ......

Frightened, Xiao Qi knelt down in panic and trembled nervously.

"Hehe, it's her!" Yue Guiren smiled softly, she came back to her senses after listening to the sound of kneeling on the ground, and the sudden sadness at this moment made her very considerate of Xiao Qi's mood.
