Xu Zhaohua successfully escaped everyone's eyes under the cover of Da Wu and jumped out of the back window of the hut, Da Wu gave her some silver tickets before leaving, although it was not too much, but it could be saved at a critical moment.

Looking at the silver ticket in her hand, Xu Zhaohua's eyes were red, and she couldn't imagine that there was someone in this Daduan country who helped her like this.

Xu Zhaohua, who jumped out of the window, saw a group of palace maids walking in a line not far away in the direction of her, so she bowed and hid in a flower bed to cover herself.

When a group of palace maids walked past her, she noticed that the last palace maid was looking around and behaving strangely, so she quietly observed her.

Sure enough, when the column of palace maids was turning, the last palace maid took the opportunity to break away from the team and walked towards the grove next to him alone, Xu Zhaohua looked around to make sure that no one saw it, and then quietly followed behind her, wondering what tricks she was doing in the book.

I saw that the palace maid walked to the back of the woods, and when she looked left and right, she suddenly saw something, and ran over with small broken steps with a little joy, and her face was still shy. Xu Zhaohua looked in the direction she was running and found that she was running towards a man.

The man had his back to her, so she couldn't see his face, but seeing that he wasn't dressed like a eunuch or a guard, was he?

Xu Zhaohua suddenly had an answer in his heart, this is a typical private meeting between the prince and the harem maid. This kind of thing is serious and serious, after all, it is in the emperor's harem, and it is really inappropriate for a prince to do this, but in the end, it was found that the most serious thing was the palace maid of the private meeting, after all, she had no power and no power and could only be a tool for reconciliation between the two sides.

In the previous life, she had seen a prince of Dongqi who had a private meeting with the palace maid, and after the palace maid was discovered, the palace maid was steamed to death in the steamer, and the prince had nothing to do, and was reprimanded by Zhou Shengcuobai for a few words, and within a few days, he married a new concubine.

Later, she also asked Zhou Shengcuobai the reason for this, no one in power would destroy the princely relationship that had been stabilized with great difficulty because of a palace maid.

The two of you and I were nong for a while, and the man seemed to say something and walked away, leaving the palace maid alone, and when the person was far away, the palace maid reluctantly turned around and prepared to go back.

"I don't know where the girl got such daring? Was it borrowed or stolen? Xu Zhaohua said coldly.

The palace maid obviously didn't expect that there were still people here, and she was suddenly taken aback: "Who are you?" Why is it here? ”

Xu Zhaohua slowly walked towards her step by step: "You don't care who I am, you just need to know that I know your secret now." ”

Seeing Xu Zhaohua walking towards her, the palace maid took many steps back one after another: "Don't come here, if you come over again, I'll call someone!" ”

Xu Zhaohua stopped: "Oh? Shouting people. Okay, then you shout, and after shouting, think about how to explain to people why you should be on an errand and run into the grove alone at this time. ”

The palace maid was speechless for a moment, and could only say stupidly: "What do you want?" ”

Xu Zhaohua smiled provocatively: "There is still a piece of this dress on your body, shut your mouth." ”

"That's all?" The palace maid was surprised.

"Why, do you want me to ask for more?" Xu Zhaohua sneered slightly.

The palace maid was a little flustered: "No, no, no, you wait here, I will come and never break my promise." ”

Xu Zhaohua hesitated and nodded, she grabbed her handle in her hand, and she didn't dare to do anything. Waiting for the palace maid's free time to get the clothes, Xu Zhaohua looked at the situation around him, and inquired in advance about any critical situation in the future. This forest is surrounded by rockeries, which is really a good place to hide, but there are also drawbacks, if there are people on the rockery, they can clearly see the situation here.

It's true, there are pros and cons to everything.

Thinking about the space, the palace maid had already taken her clothes and ran over, and after handing them to Xu Zhaohua, she didn't leave, as if she had something to tell her.

Xu Zhaohua saw her actions and stood in place with her clothes and said to her: "Girl, don't worry, I have no grievances with you, I want a set of clothes to grab this handle of you today, you don't have to worry, I won't say it, you have lost your use value." ”

After finishing speaking, she began to change her clothes, and the palace maid also put her heart down after listening to her words, said thank you and turned to leave, without saying what her name was, nor where she was on an errand.

Xu Zhaohua thought that of course she couldn't say it, the more she said, the more it would be exposed, and it would do her more harm than good, but she still couldn't help but stop her:

"Girl, although I don't know who that man is, you should not meet him in the future, it will push you into the abyss."

The palace maid did not look back, but stopped, and after hearing her words, she stayed where she was for a moment and then continued to walk.

Xu Zhaohua sighed, so good!

After changing into the clothes of the palace maid, she can move around the palace more extensively, and the next task is to find herself a suitable position and name for herself as an errand in the palace.

As if thinking of something, she walked in the direction of Fu'an Palace, and when she came, Dawu told her that if she wanted to seek a position, she would go to Fu'an Palace to find an old female teacher surnamed Liu, and told her that it was the one in the East Ancestral Hall who let her find her, and she could show her the jade pendant that the old woman who was dumb handed to her.

Not only that, but the Great Witch also told her the exact location of the Fu'an Palace, and at this moment she followed the route that the old witch had drawn for her in her mind to the Fu'an Palace.

On the way, she came across a garden, imposing and elegant, thinking that this is the imperial garden of Daduan. Carefully looking at the structure of the Imperial Garden, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the distance:

Slim Moon!

She suddenly turned her face away and quickened her pace, it seemed that she would have to be more careful here in the future.

When I arrived at the gate of Fu'an Palace, I looked at the big plaque at the door, and a few big words with golden light told Xu Zhaohua that she had arrived at her destination at this moment. The old witch told her that the old concubine who lived in the Fu'an Palace was the first emperor of Daduan, and only one prince was given a fief a few days ago, and the old concubine also moved in with her son after a while.

After entering the door, the palace maid who was sweeping the floor in the courtyard saw someone coming in and asked Xu Zhaohua which palace he belonged to, Xu Zhaohua did not answer her words, and said that he was looking for Liu Nushi, so he did not speak.

The palace maid who swept the floor saw that Xu Zhaohua had an extraordinary temperament and thought that she was the palace maid in the womb of a favored concubine, but after thinking about it, she found that she had never seen her, and Xu saw that Xu Zhaohua did not look like a liar, so she went to obediently call Female Master Liu.

When Xu Zhaohua first saw Female Master Liu, he felt that this woman must be very strict, with thin lips and white face, meticulous combing of hair, and no smile on her face.

Female Master Liu turned around from a long corridor, followed by the sweeping palace maid who had just reported the news, and saw Xu Zhaohua standing in the middle of the courtyard and asked coldly, "When are you looking for me?" ”

Xu Zhaohua bowed slightly, and saw who in the palace wanted to perform what kind of etiquette, and the rules were very strict.

"Back to the female teacher, there is something I want to discuss with the female teacher, I don't know if it is convenient or not." Xu Zhaohua said respectfully, and deliberately glanced at the sweeping palace maid behind Female Master Liu.

Female Master Liu understood her eyes, turned to the little palace maid behind her and said let her go and see if the old lady's medicine was boiled, and then the little palace maid left.

"The man is gone, so let's talk about it now." Female Master Liu was a little impatient.

Xu Zhaohua took out the jade pendant that the old woman gave her: "I don't know if Female Master Liu recognizes this." ”

After taking a look at the jade pendant, Female Master Liu stepped forward and snatched the jade pendant from Xu Zhaohua's hand, and observed it carefully:

"That's right, it's this jade pendant."

She seemed to remember many things, and there was some sadness in her eyes, and then asked her where this jade pendant came from. Xu Zhaohua told her about her encounter with the old woman on the street, and also told Lady Liu about the witch letting him find her.

However, Xu Zhaohua did not mention the fact that the old woman recognized her true identity.

Female Master Liu sighed: "Hey, the years are unforgiving, so many years have passed." Tell me, there's something you need my help with. ”

Xu Zhaohua was overjoyed after hearing this: "The little girl just wants to survive in this Daduan Palace, and she hopes that the female teacher will arrange it." ”

Female Master Liu thought for a moment: "I can help you arrange a position, but you have to work hard and don't ask for trouble for me." ”

Xu Zhaohua agreed, but thought to himself: I'm sorry for Female Master Liu, I can not bother you if something happens, but there is no way to sit still and keep my duty.

Because there are still thousands of people waiting for her to come and save them.

"What's your name," Female Master Liu asked suddenly.

"Zhao Hua." Xu Zhaohua said quickly and gave a name casually.

In the end, Female Master Liu arranged Xu Zhaohua to her side, that is, to work as an errand in Fu'an Palace. Compared to the rest of this Daduan Palace, Fu'an Palace can be said to be the place with the fewest rights and wrongs, and she is the female master in charge here, and she suddenly has every reason to explain to the upper level with one more person.

Then Lady Liu took her to the place where she lived, and the little palace maid who had just swept the floor took her around the Fu'an Palace to familiarize herself with the environment.

Female Master Liu said that the little palace maid who happened to keep vigil for the old lady was punished to the laundry garden because she offended the lady of another palace, so she came to fill the vacancy.

also said that it stands to reason that a palace maid like her, who has just entered the palace and doesn't know anything, can't do this kind of thing that can directly contact the master at first, but because the vigil is relatively simple, and she is the person recommended by the great witch of the East Ancestral Hall, she is also relieved......

Female Master Liu only entered the palace simply because Xu Zhaohua entered the palace to seek a livelihood, but she didn't know that she actually had a bigger purpose.

On the first day she came to Fu'an Palace, Lady Liu specially opened the net and did not let her start the vigil from tonight, but asked her to rest in her room first, where can Xu Zhaohua rest, she must think of a way to keep in touch with Zhou Shengcuobai at all times, so as not to let him worry too much, and secondly, she can provide Zhou Shengcuobai outside the palace with news about herself at any time, so that he can investigate in advance.

Xu Zhaohua noticed that during the day, he found that the palace maid and the prince had a private meeting in the grove, there was a river in addition to the rockery, and the river was still flowing very fast, I don't know where the river leads?

She knocked on the side and asked Rong'er who was sleeping next to her, that is, the little palace maid who swept the floor in Fu'an Palace during the day, Rong'er was a little strange by her question.

To be honest, she didn't know where this river led at first, but then she heard the old man in the palace say that this river was the river between Daduan and Dongqi, but the current was much smaller here, so it was not easy to be seen. After Rong'er told Xu Zhaohua everything she knew, she continued to close her eyes.

Xu Zhaohua knew that he was in his heart, and slowly curled up in the quilt and closed his eyes.

The sun was round and big, and Xu Zhaohua opened his eyes. By the moonlight, she got dressed and walked out quietly. In fact, she never fell asleep, and quietly took all the countermeasures first.

The Fu'an Palace at night is a little quiet, probably because the courtyard is also with the master's handle, I heard Liu Nushi say that the old lady is a quiet person, usually not too fond of too lively things, plus recently sick, the whole Fu'an Palace is more quiet. She hadn't seen the old lady yet, and she really wanted to see her when it dawned tomorrow.

Thinking about it, Xu Zhaohua paced to the door of Fu'an Palace, slowly opened the door panel, pushed the door open, and then went out sideways and closed the door, glad that there was a moon tonight.

She didn't wear shoes, because she was afraid that the sound of shoes would be too loud, so she slowed down her walking. When passing by the Imperial Garden, Xu Zhaohua remembered that she saw Xianyue here during the day, in fact, she didn't understand why Xianyue had such a strong desire for power.

When he walked to a bend in the corner, Xu Zhaohua heard the sound of soldiers walking in unison, which was a patrol team. She quickly looked around and saw that there was no place to hide, and her heart beat faster as the footsteps drew closer.

"Ahh A woman's scream of pain shattered the silence of the night, and the footsteps stopped and ran towards the grove.

Xu Zhaohua breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the direction of the grove and couldn't help but feel a little worried, could it be that something was wrong?

She thought of the rockeries during the day and had a plan in her heart, so she bypassed the bypass and climbed up the rockery, where she could see the whole picture of the grove. By the moonlight, she saw a woman lying on the ground in rags, and standing next to her was the group of soldiers with torches who had just patrolled.

Oh? Rape and then kill? Xu Zhaohua thought about it playfully.

Seeing the calm river with moonlight under the rockery, Xu Zhaohua did not forget the purpose of his trip. She picked up some fallen leaves under the maple tree next to the rockery, and wrote a few words on the fallen leaves with sharp stones, worried that a leaf Zhou Sheng Cuobai or the soldiers of Eastern Qi would not notice, she specially wrote several leaves, and also used the thread prepared in advance to string these leaves together, so as not to be washed away by the river, so that the words were more obvious Zhou Sheng Cuobai and they could see.

As long as she completes all these things at night, by the time dawn this leaf will have already flowed out of Daduan City and to Dongqi, so that she doesn't have to worry about being discovered by Daduan's people.

After everything was done, Xu Zhaohua slowly descended the rockery and didn't pay attention to a sharp stone under her feet, and was stabbed, but she still couldn't help but scream, and when she looked at her feet again, blood was already gushing out, and she could only walk back in pain.

After arriving at Fu'an Palace, she cleaned the dirt on the soles of her feet in the courtyard, rinsed them with water several times, bandaged them, and then returned to the bed.

The next day, it was rumored that a palace maid died in the grove, and at this time, Zhou Sheng Cuobai also received the sycamore leaves from Xu Zhaohua: "Everything is going well." ”

His heart was also relaxed.

Early in the morning, when Xu Zhaohua got up, he felt a pain in the soles of his feet, and when he got out of bed and walked, he almost took a step and the wound was torn. But in order not to be suspected, she could only pretend that she had nothing to do and walk normally.

But when she went out, Female Master Liu stood at her door, and the blue face in front of her told her that something bad had happened.

"Did you go out last night?" Female Teacher Liu asked.

Xu Zhaohua quickly recalled, why did Female Master Liu ask this, could it be that she had exposed something, and suddenly thought that it must be the blood stains on her feet yesterday that went all the way to the door of Fu'an Palace......

"I went out, I heard someone screaming and went out." Xu Zhaohua replied indifferently.

Ms. Liu then asked, "Injured foot?" ”

Before Xu Zhaohua could answer, Nushi Liu threw her a bottle of medicine.

"Take it, don't meddle in the future." Then Lady Liu left.

After a while, the Praetorian Guards came, it is said that after the bloody incident in the grove last night, someone saw a figure sneakily running into the Fu'an Palace, and this morning found a string of bloody footprints on the road, and there was no one at the gate of the Fu'an Palace, so they suspected that the real murderer was in the Fu'an Palace.

"Who is the murderer? Stand up yourself, or you will be killed if you are discovered! A bearded officer shouted. Xu Zhaohua recognized him as the bearded man he saw in the teahouse that day.

"Presumptuous! The concubine is recuperating! Can you afford something to go wrong? Female Master Liu looked angry.

She didn't confess herself.

"Female Master Liu, we are also acting on orders, and if we offend you a lot, we will take care of it." The bearded man said in a weird way.

Female Master Liu was not lightly beaten, but she couldn't say anything, after all, she was acting on orders, and no one could stop her.

Xu Zhaohua looked at the situation and shouted loudly: "The bloody footprints are mine." ”

Everyone looked at her, and Nushi Liu obviously didn't expect her to do this, obviously taken aback.

"Come on, take it for me!" After hearing the voice, the bearded man looked at Xu Zhaohua, and he gave an order to arrest her.

"Wait!"

"Wait!"

Almost at the same time, Xu Zhaohua and Female Teacher Liu spoke at the same time, Xu Zhaohua looked at Female Teacher Liu, gave her a look, and signaled that she didn't need to worry.

Xu Zhaohua slowly explained: "The bloody footprints are indeed mine, and I didn't kill the people. ”

The bearded man crossed his hands in front of his chest and had a good show: "Reason." ”

"The reason is that no murderer will run barefoot into the woods to kill people, deliberately exposing the horse's feet and pointing the finger at himself." Xu Zhaohua replied.

"Nonsense, who knows if you're in shoes or barefoot, do you have proof? Speak with evidence! The bearded man was a little annoyed.

Xu Zhaohua took off his shoes: "The evidence is here." ”

Everyone was surprised to see her take off her shoes, and it was like taking off her clothes in public in the big end woman, but they were a little stunned to see the deep opening on the soles of her feet, and the injuries were very serious, and the flesh was turned out.

After Xu Zhaohua put on his shoes and socks, he said in an orderly manner: "Last night, when I was about to get up at night, I heard a scream, and I was very curious, so I hurriedly went out to see what was going on. ”

The little palace maids around sneered after hearing this, it was really unheard of for a woman to say it so easily at night, and she had never even heard of it when she took off her shoes in public to expose her feet.

The palace maid in front of them really opened their eyes today.

Female Master Liu on the side looked at Xu Zhaohua's series of reactions and praised them in her heart: not chaotic in the face of danger, neither humble nor arrogant.

Great things will happen in the future.

The bearded officer and soldier couldn't find any flaws in her words, and snorted coldly.

Xu Zhaohua continued: "If you don't believe it, I can take off my shoes again, let's stand in front of these bloody footprints today and see if it is a shoe print or a footprint!" ”

The bearded man was very angry in his heart, if he couldn't catch the murderer, losing his job would be a trivial matter, and if he lost his life, it would be a big deal, so he put on a bullying appearance and said:

"You came out alone last night, and there were bloody footprints at the gate of Fu'an Palace, don't quibble, if you have any grievances, go to the Criminal Division to explain." Come! Take. ”

Xu Zhaohua and Female Master Liu didn't expect this person to be so brazen, and when they were about to fight back, a voice sounded at the door:

"Yo, why is the entrance of my mother's Fu'an Palace so lively! Is it a big day? A crisp male voice sounded, and Xu Zhaohua looked at the door.

I saw that the person who spoke was wearing a purple robe, his hair was not tied up like other men, but scattered casually, and his thick and heroic eyebrows were slightly wrinkled at this time, and it could be seen that he was not in a good mood at the moment. The skin is like clotted fat, and it is even better than the skin of the girl who has not come out of the pavilion, and the whole person looks very charming.

What kind of thing is this man who looks so charming? Xu Zhaohua thought secretly in his heart.

Seeing that some of the palace maids around were arranging the broken hair on their foreheads, and some patted their clothes, the people who had not carefully groomed in the early days buried their heads low at the moment, for fear that the man would see it......

Xu Zhaohua sighed: Is that man so charming? Not yet!

When the bearded soldier saw who was coming, he replied respectfully: "Back to the prince, the little ones have been ordered to arrest the perpetrators of the murder in the grove last night." ”

"Oh? Assailant. Look at me, the little girls in Fu'an Palace are all like flowers and jade, how can they commit murder? Let the people go! His tone became serious.

"But, this ......" the bearded man was a little embarrassed.

"If the murderer is someone from Fu'an Palace, something happens to me." He put his hands behind his back.
