Zhu Qi and Xingyao kept running until they came across a ruined temple.

There is a stack of wheat straw in the ruined temple, and some dry wheat straw is scattered around it.

"Thank you." Zhu Qi collapsed on the wheat straw, spread his limbs, and said breathlessly.

"No thanks, you saved me too."

"I saved you?" Zhu Qi didn't quite understand.

"But I've already given it back to you. We are clear. I'm leaving. Xingyao turned to leave.

"Wait." Zhu Qi left her, and before she had said enough, did she want to leave?

Xingyao suddenly grabbed his hand and pulled him up to hide behind Maitreya Buddha.

Outside the temple, three brocade-clothed guards walked into the temple with torches.

There was one who stood in front of Maitreya Buddha and looked at it suspiciously.

Zhu Qi, who was hiding behind Maitreya Buddha, was nervous.

His nose was itchy and he wanted to sneeze.

He pinched his nose hard and breathed with his mouth wide open.

Just when he couldn't help it, Xing Yao covered his mouth with his hand.

The two were very close, and under the flickering firelight, Zhu Qi saw her face clearly, and her heart couldn't help but flutter in anger.

Her eyes are big and shiny, her skin is fair, with red lips and bright teeth, a tall and small nose, and a delicate face, it is not an exaggeration to call her a little fairy.

There are so many beauties in the palace, none of them are as smart and moving as her!

"You say how could the eunuch who stole the jewels hide here? Ran early. A wrestler said.

"What eunuchs! You're too stupid, you steal every year, when will you be so busy for a eunuch? At the same time, we Jinyi Guard and the forbidden army were sent to search, could it be an ordinary eunuch? The other one said in one sentence.

Zhu Qi understood in his ears that his father would not dare to reveal the news of the prince's disappearance, and searched for his whereabouts in the whole city under the pretext of arresting the eunuch, so that he could not go back easily.

If you are caught by them and let them send you back to the palace in embarrassment, life will be even more difficult.

Not only will he be punished and confined for leaving the palace without permission, but the ministers who want to oust him from power and support Zhu will take the opportunity to impeach him.

His crown prince position will be in jeopardy.

He is not nostalgic for the position of prince, but if he is not the prince, he can't be ousted like this, and he will have the dignity to speak of next.

He must find the real culprits of his captors, bring them to justice, and then go back to have an explanation, and he can make meritorious contributions to his crimes.

The three wrestlers saw that the temple was really dilapidated and empty, and quickly left.

Xingyao breathed a sigh of relief and jumped down from behind Maitreya Buddha.

Zhu Qi struggled with his old nose to slowly climb down, panting.

"I've got to go, you're good at it." Xingyao left in a hurry again.

"Don't go out, there is a night curfew at night, there are officers and soldiers patrolling everywhere, you will be arrested." Zhu Qi persuaded.

"Am I afraid of being caught?" Xingyao asked rhetorically.

Oh yes, she can fly.

"Where are you going late at night?"

"Enter the palace."

"What are you doing at the palace?"

"Can you handle it?" She asked rhetorically.

"Okay, I won't ask you what you're going to do. But if you just break in like this, you will definitely be caught, and the palace is quite heavily guarded. He said anxiously.

This girl is too mysterious, is she a human or a fairy? Why rush into the palace?

"Then how can I enter the palace?" She asked.

"There are many ways to enter the palace, such as entering the palace to be a palace maid."

"So how do you apply?" She asked again.

It seems that she doesn't understand anything.

"It's not easy to be a palace maid, and the palace is not fun. It is very hard to enter the palace as a palace maid. Zhu Qi didn't scare her.

Moreover, if he became a palace maid, all the palace maids would be his father's people, and of course he didn't want that.

"I'm not afraid of hardship, I just need to go in." She's stubborn.

"I just ran out of there to breathe. Trust me, what I said is true. "He did everything possible to stop it.

"Are you from the palace? What do you do in the palace? Can you take me into the palace? She looked surprised.

"I am, I am a eunuch in the palace. I can find a way to take you into the palace, but not now. I finally got out, and I had to do something to do before I could go back. Since he has already pretended to be a eunuch, he can only pretend to the end, otherwise he is afraid that she will not believe it.

Besides, he doesn't have anything to prove his identity.
