After a while, Xu Zhaohua arrived at Sui Yue's Daxing Palace, and at this time she had already changed her face, and her name was still Zhao Ye.

After arriving at the place, the old eunuch who brought him settled her and left, and before leaving, he told her that her task in the palace was to take care of the flowers specially raised by Sui Yue, pointed to a large red flower in the distance, signaled that they were there, and specially instructed this errand to be done carefully and not negligently.

This errand was given to her by the old lady using all her connections, and the old eunuch wondered what kind of origin this woman could make the old lady who had never asked about the affairs of the palace so attentive.

After he left, Xu Zhaohua walked to the flower and looked at it carefully, it seemed that she had never seen this kind of flower before. It has large petals, exudes a strange fragrance, and has many long tentacles in the middle of the stamens, and the long-toothed and five-clawed ones seem to be ready to roll people into and digest them.

What kind of flower is this?

After thinking about it, there was a sound of broken footsteps behind him and the sound of talking to people, and several little palace maids came in from the door behind them, and saw an unfamiliar face, and everyone was very curious about who it was.

"You're the new flower grower, aren't you?" A beautiful-looking palace maid at the head said.

Xu Zhaohua nodded: "Zhao Ye." ”

The palace maid immediately came over and took Xu Zhaohua's hand, and said that after that, everyone will do things together and need to take care of each other, and if there is anything else for her to ask her for, she will help her solve it as much as possible.

also said that her name is Chu Chenlu, and she is the long palace maid of Daxing Palace.

Xu Zhaohua responded one by one, but in private she was quietly looking at the person in front of her, she looked really a beauty, and she spoke very decently, she could see that she was a person who had gone to school, but she couldn't easily judge whether the other party was friend or foe now, after all, with Rong'er's lesson, she couldn't easily trust anyone now.

After saying hello, Chu Chenlu, the maid of the long palace, told Xu Zhaohua that her daily errand was to take care of these flowers, not to let them wither, to repair and water them regularly, and to check them every month, without any mistakes.

Why is Xianyue so concerned about the flowers of Sui Yue Palace? This made Xu Zhaohua very puzzling.

I didn't have time to ask one more person's voice: "Morning Dew, how is my Huo Yanhua?" Xianyue twisted her waist and walked this way.

Xu Zhaohua looked at Xian Yue who was walking slowly, this was the first time she had confronted Xian Yue after she entered the Daduan Palace, and now she was wearing a human skin mask, she couldn't recognize herself.

"Girl, everything is fine." Chu Chenlu half-squatted and saluted.

She bent down and sniffed a flower as if she could eat it in her stomach with a single sniff.

"Uh-well." After speaking, Xianyue walked towards Sui Yue's main hall, and just stepped a few steps, she glanced back at Xu Zhaohua.

"Who are you?" Xianyue pointed to Xu Zhaohua who was standing on the side and asked.

Before Xu Zhaohua could answer, Chu Chenlu on the side said: "She is a new palace maid who has come to take care of the flowers, called Zhao Ye. ”

After hearing this, Xianyue turned to look at Xu Zhaohua, feeling that the feeling this person gave her was very familiar: "Zhao Ye? Where did the people who used to take care of flowers go? ”

"If you did something wrong, you were punished to be a military prostitute in the barracks." Chu Chenlu then replied.

Xianyue felt that she must be overhearted.

"Doing something wrong? Then you will be punished severely, and you must write carefully in the future, otherwise you will also go to the barracks. After saying that, Xianyue left.

Xu Zhaohua was thinking about which palace maid who took care of the flowers in the past, did she really make a mistake? Or is he reduced to an instrument of struggle, just because he needs to replace her?

In this matter of the deep palace, Xu Zhaohua couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong, but he suddenly felt that human life was like a mustard.

Then Xu Zhaohua began to water these flowers, pruning the branches and leaves, to her surprise, the weather is getting colder day by day, autumn has long been covered with a golden coat to cover the earth, but this flower should still bloom, should grow, not limited by this season at all.

Is it what it is, or is it something hidden? Xu Zhaohua had a hunch that if there was anything strange in this, it must be related to the fact that she was investigating Sui Yue, and she must find out about it.

When it was time for lunch, Xu Zhaohua deliberately sat down by Chu Chenlu, since she became the chief palace maid of Daxing Palace, she must have been on an errand here for a long time.

"Sister Chu, that red Huo Yanhua is so good-looking, do you know where it came from?" Chu Chenlu, who was eating, suddenly stopped her chopsticks, and after thinking about it, she smiled slightly:

"Sister Ye, sister really doesn't know where this flower came from, you may have also discovered it, it often blooms undefeated, it is estimated that it is a treasure from where the king got it, so I cherish it even more, and I want Miss Xianyue to guard the people below and take care of it."

Xu Zhaohua saw Chu Chenlu's reaction and what she said, and knew that she might know something, but since she didn't want to say it, she couldn't ask any more if she continued to ask, so she pretended not to care about anything.

"Oh~ So that's the case, then I'm going to take care of it."

Chu Chenlu nodded and continued to eat without speaking, Xu Zhaohua did not continue to talk to her, and after the two of them ate, they went their separate ways.

Xu Zhaohua's task is very simple, that is, to water this Huo Yanhua regularly during the day, and water it every other hour, not in advance or delayed, it is said that once an hour is once an hour, which is extremely strict. This errand saves her from having good relationships with others, but it also limits her to a lot of free time, and she has to keep an eye on these flowers.

Chu Chenlu said that it was Sui Yue who asked Xianyue to take care of these flowers, they may not know that Sui Yue was under the witchcraft of Xianyue, but Xu Zhaohua knew that this was not Sui Yue's order to let people take care of these flowers at all, but Xianyue's own or Sui Chen's thoughts.

What is the use of these flowers for them?

Looking at the palace in front of her, Sui Yue was inside at this moment, and she had been here for a long time, but she hadn't seen Sui Yue come out once, she had to find a way to contact Sui Yue.

Soon it was night, Xu Zhaohua had a new residence, she had always recognized the bed, she didn't sleep well on the first night, tomorrow is the first day of the new year, she will come out for a month so soon, I don't know how Cuobai is now, are you still blaming her for saying goodbye?

Thinking about it, the sky will light up unconsciously, and during the day, when Xu Zhaohua watered the flowers according to the custom, she found that the flowers seemed to be bigger than yesterday's, she felt that it must be her own illusion, but she felt that she should not have such an illusion.

In the blink of an eye, it was another night, she was still thinking about her "illusion" during the day, thinking about the glimmer of light outside the window that Xu Zhaohua noticed, she got up and walked softly to the door, the glowing flowers swayed their petals under the moonlight, this scene shocked Xu Zhaohua.

In her memory, in her previous life, she had seen a record of a glowing flower in a book called "Strange Grass and Strange Flowers" in the collection of the Eastern Qi Palace. The book says that this flower, which may or may not exist, is just an imagination of the predecessors. Even if it exists, it is now extinct, and only shines on the first day of the new year in a random month every year, and this flower is only found in one place - the Outland, the Ridge Fire Domain.

She walked in front of these glowing Huo Yanhua and watched the wonders of the world carefully, at this time the fragrance of Huo Yanhua was stronger than usual, Xu Zhaohua smelled these flowers and felt that she was a little confused, and her body was about to be out of her control, and she secretly screamed in her heart, fortunately, she had learned martial arts with Xu Songchen, and returned to the house in time with her strong concentration.

After entering the house, Xu Zhaohua gasped for breath, and she was almost unconscious. Then Xu Zhaohua heard the footsteps and quietly opened the door to the air, and Xu Zhaohua saw a familiar figure through the air raid, it was Xianyue. She was holding a bottle and collecting something on top of the flowers.

Probably she was collecting the scent of these flowers, and she wanted them for some other purpose.

Xu Zhaohua decided to tell Zhou Sheng Cuobai the news and asked him to send someone to the Linghuo Domain to investigate some news about Huo Yanhua. After Xianyue left, Xu Zhaohua quietly walked to the rockery next to the imperial garden and passed the news to Zhou Sheng Cuobai.

Another night passed, and after receiving the news from Xu Zhaohua, Zhou Sheng Cuobai immediately ordered Yide and Qin Feng to go to the Linghuo Domain to inquire about the situation, he knew that the Linghuo Domain did not allow men to enter and exit, but this was also the way to do it at present, and the difficulties in it needed to be overcome by the two of them themselves, and by the way, the relationship between the two of them could be eased.

Yide, who learned of this task, had a headache, and he actually wanted to investigate the news with Su Qinfeng, a stinky boy, and it was also the Linghuo Domain. Su Qinfeng on this side saw Yide's impatience and became even more angry, he didn't show any impatience, why did this bad old man look like he had a headache, he wasn't a tiger who could eat him.

......

Daxing Palace

The first thing Xu Zhaohua did when she got up in the morning was to go out to see Huo Yanhua, who made her unconscious last night, still so red, and still had a strange aroma, the difference was that this fragrance was not as strong as last night, and she would not have the feeling that she was about to lose consciousness, and there was no lack of light.

Xu Zhaohua speculated: Could it be that this flower only shines once a year and emits that unconscious fragrance? All speculations without accurate answers are always self-speculation, and Xu Zhaohua does not dare to draw conclusions.

With this thought, she was a little surprised, she felt that she was becoming more and more stable, and she had to think about things more comprehensively, and she had to sigh that people's growth is never slow step by step, but a sharp leap one by one, and this node may be one difficulty after another encountered in life.

Xu Zhaohua still took care of the flowers as usual, but he thought in his heart when the strangeness of this flower would be revealed? Later, Chu Chenlu came over and checked each bouquet of flowers to make sure that there was no problem with one before she left with confidence.

Xu Zhaohua saw Chu Chenlu leave and entered Sui Yue's dormitory, and was really shocked when she saw her enter, didn't Xianyue prevent her from taking care of Sui Yue, wasn't she afraid that the matter would be revealed after Chu Chenlu found out?

Xu Zhaohua became more and more curious, she felt that she couldn't wait any longer to get close to Sui Yue, and she had to take action immediately.

She suddenly thought that after she came to Daxing Palace, no one told her that she could not enter Sui Yue's dormitory, as long as she had a suitable reason, even if she was found out, it didn't matter.

But what is the reason for this? Looking at the red in front of him, Xu Zhaohua had an idea.

She looked around and saw that no one was looking at what she was doing, so she gave the flowers water once before leaving, after all, she had to pay once an hour, so she only had an hour to do now.

Seeing that the entrance of the dormitory was guarded by guards, it seemed that it was not feasible to enter directly through the main entrance, so she took a detour through the side door of the dormitory.

She just came to this Daxing Palace and took a good look, there are many guards in this Daxing Palace, but there are slightly fewer guards in Sui Yue's dormitory, she guessed that Sui Chen was afraid that once there were more people, there would naturally be a lot of eyes, and after a long time, people with a heart would find out the clues, but because this is the dormitory of Daduan Palace, there can not be a single guard, which makes people even more suspicious, so they can only guard a few guards at the main gate of the dormitory, first, not to let people doubt, and not to let people easily see Sui Yue, so as not to expose themselves.

Sure enough, there was no one around the side door, and she easily climbed through the window behind the dormitory with the light skills she had learned, and she was secretly glad that this window was lower than the wall of the West Third Palace, otherwise she would have to go through a lot of trouble to get in again.

When she arrived in the dormitory, Xu Zhaohua slowed down so as not to be noticed, she looked around a lot, and found that the decoration here was very luxurious, but many ornaments were covered with dust, and it could be seen that no one had cleaned it for a long time, yes, how could others come in.

Thinking that Chu Chenlu was able to stride into the meteor without a guard stopping her in, then it must have been Sui Chen's permission, so they were a gang?

Xu Zhaohua wasn't sure, the reality she saw told her that they were indeed a group, but Xu Zhaohua's intuition told her that Chu Chenlu didn't seem to be like this.

By the look of her eyes.

Xu Zhaohua quietly walked through the front hall and came to Sui Yue's official residence, she didn't go in directly from the front door, because Chu Chenlu came in, and now she can't be sure where she is, so she can't rush in through the front door.

Pacing to the side of the window, there is a big flower pot here to cover herself, Xu Zhaohua can see all the things in the dormitory from the outside through this window, at this moment she saw Sui Yue sitting on the bed, not moving, she tried to throw a stone inside, sure enough, he didn't react anything, exactly the same situation as the woman in the West Third Palace.

Then the door opened, and Xu Zhaohua saw that the person who came in was Chu Chenlu, she was walking inside with a bowl of porridge, and after coming in, she carefully closed the door skillfully. Then Xu Zhaohua saw her sitting next to Sui Yue, holding a spoon and feeding Sui Yue porridge spoonful by spoon.

It turned out that she knew that Sui Yue was witchcrafted!

Xu Zhaohua thought that the reason why Sui Chen and Xian Yue allowed her to enter and leave Sui Yue's dormitory at will must be a disguise, and everyone saw that Chu Chenlu, the eldest palace maid of the Daxing Palace, personally served the king for dinner every day, so naturally they would not suspect that something had happened to their king. But why did Chu Chenlu do this, for money or for power?

She doesn't know.

But the next scene was a bit dumbfounded by Xu Zhaohua, Chu Chenlu fed Sui Yue porridge, and the feeding made a sobbing sound, she took a square towel and gently wiped the remaining rice grains on Sui Yue's mouth, and then gently wrapped her neck around Sui Yue and leaned on Sui Yue's shoulder.

And Sui Yue was motionless from beginning to end, he opened his mouth when the meal came, and closed his mouth when he finished eating.

Chu Chenlu has affection for Sui Yue, but why should she help Sui Chen and them to control him?

Xu Zhaohua estimated that the time was almost an hour, and left here silently. Returning to that piece of Huo Yanhua, no one noticed that she had disappeared for an hour, and no one knew what she saw, everyone did their own thing, and the cycle continued, sometimes Xu Zhaohua often wondered, is this long palace wall enclosing people's people or their hearts?

After a while, Chu Chenlu came out of the dormitory, her eyes were red, Xu Zhaohua deliberately stopped her: "Sister Chu, why do you go to the king to eat alone every day, isn't this obviously bullying you?" ”

Chu Chenlu was not in a good mood, but she still said to her gently: "The king is sick today, it is better for me to take care of him alone, I am not very relieved about others, and it is not conducive to the king's cultivation of his body when there are too many people in and out."

"Oh, my sister is really very attentive to the king." Xu Zhaohua said.

Chu Chenlu's face flushed: "I... I have been in the palace for so many years, and I can say that I grew up with the king......" As if knowing that he said something that he shouldn't say, Chu Chenlu pretended to cover up and said: "The king is the king of Daduan Kingdom, and we, as the palace maids of his palace, of course we have to take care of his body, the king's health is good to handle state affairs, and only when state affairs are handled can we get better and better." ”

"Sister Chu is still far-sighted, hey, when will our king be able to canonize a virtuous helper like Sister Chu?" Xu Zhaohua deliberately leaned sideways and whispered in Chu Chenlu's ear.

Chu Chenlu's face showed embarrassment after hearing this, and then there was a trace of imperceptible loss: "You little girl, what are you talking nonsense." ”

After finishing speaking, she left, Xu Zhaohua clearly saw her wiping her eyes with her hands from behind, did the autumn wind blow her eyes into the sand? Or is it because of his own love that he can't do it, and he feels pathetic?

It was obviously the latter, which strengthened Xu Zhaohua's guess that she had feelings for Sui Yue, and also gave her a breakthrough to investigate the entire mystery.

That night, Xu Zhaohua sat in front of the window and waited for the arrival of the anthurium pigeon, wondering how the progress of Cuobai's investigation of Huo Yanhua was? She looked at the little palace maids all around, making beds and talking quietly, but she suddenly found that she hadn't seen Chu Chenlu living here after living for so many days? Thinking in her heart, she is the chief palace maid of Daxing Palace, so naturally she does not live with ordinary palace maids.

Xu Zhaohua stretched her head out of the window, and sure enough, she saw Chu Chenlu's lonely figure in the room on the side, at this time she was also looking out of the window alone, as if thinking about something, Xu Zhaohua took out a needle and deliberately punctured her finger, and walked towards Chu Chenlu's house.

"Sister Chu?" Xu Zhaohua knocked on the door.

The door opened, Xu Zhaohua saw Chu Chen's red eyes again, thinking that she should have remembered the matter with Sui Yue again, she was really an infatuated woman. Xu Zhaohua pretended to be in pain, and Chu Chenlu had no blood medicine.

Chu Chenlu saw Xu Zhaohua's bloody fingers and hurriedly took out gauze from the box to bandage Xu Zhaohua, and complained about why Xu Zhaohua was so careless while bandaging, how sad they would be if their parents knew about it.

Xu Zhaohua didn't speak, just looked at Chu Chenlu's way of bandaging herself, very serious, she felt that Chu Chenlu didn't look like a vicious person, more like a little daughter's family.

"I accidentally broke my hand while sewing clothes." Xu Zhaohua said.

"Why are you so careless, what is this little head thinking? Miss your little lover? Chu Chen asked with a wicked smile.

Xu Zhaohua smiled shyly, Chu Chenlu hurriedly became interested when he saw her like this, and asked Xu Zhaohua if the other party's appearance, name, temperament, and whether he was good to her, and his eyes were full of envy and expectation.

Xu Zhaohua didn't say Zhou Shengcuobai's name, and told Chu Chenlu the little stories between herself and Zhou Shengcuobai one by one, and then she asked: "Does Sister Chu have a sweetheart?" ”

The smile on Chu Chenlu's face disappeared after hearing this, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"Sister Chu, it's inconvenient to say it's okay." Xu Zhaohua said.

Xu is Xu Zhaohua told her the story that evoked Chu Chenlu's memories, she actually slowly talked about her past, which she had never mentioned to anyone, and today even she didn't expect that she would confide in Xu Zhaohua, a woman who has not been with her for a long time, about her thoughts over the years.

Chu Chenlu said that she grew up in the palace since she was a child, her mother was the female teacher next to the queen mother, her mother died soon after she was born, and the old queen mother took pity on her and let the palace maids raise her. She especially likes to read, and often goes to Hongyi Hall, where the children of the prince and the powerful read, to secretly listen to their reading.

One day was discovered by a little boy inside, the boy often taught her to read and write in private, as time went by, the two slowly developed feelings, but for various reasons they could not be together, the two saw each other every day, but they could only pretend not to know each other......

Xu Zhaohua listened, she heard it, that little boy might be Sui Yue, although Chu Chenlu didn't say it, she could feel it.

"Sister Chu, let me ask you a question, what would you do if the person you liked was in danger?" Xu Zhaohua asked.

Chu Chenlu felt that this question was a little inexplicable after hearing this, but she didn't think much about it, she would never have thought that Xu Zhaohua had discovered her secret, in her heart, Xu Zhaohua was a naïve little palace maid, and this idea, she regarded it as a casual guess of a little daughter's family.

"Will do what he wants me to do." Chu Chenlu said.

Xu Zhaohua was a little puzzled, what did Sui Yue want her to do? But he still said to Chu Chenlu with an innocent face: "Sister Chu, what you said is so complicated. ”

Chu Chenlu told her: "You will understand later." ”
