Xu Zhaohua stepped into the threshold of Fu'an Palace by feeling and returned to his room, Sui Feng saw that she had entered the house safely, and then went back to the side hall to sleep.

In this side hall, when he occasionally came to see his mother's concubine, he would live here if it was late, which was allowed by Sui Yue in the past, in fact, Sui Feng also knew that the reason why the two brothers Sui Yue and Sui Chen were so at ease with themselves was because of his dissolute nature and lack of learning.

They felt that his existence would not make a climate.

Xu Zhaohua, who returned to the house, was a little annoyed, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this Feng Wangye? Why did she follow her, if he was the murderer of the corpses displayed by the Inspectorate, why didn't he attack her last night, was she wrong? If that's the case, then she has to come up with an accurate inference as soon as possible so that she can have an eyebrow.

Xu Zhaohua decided to test Sui Feng.

Early in the morning, the palace maids all got up one after another to go to breakfast, Rong'er called Xu Zhaohua to get up a few times, because Xu Zhaohua was really tired because of last night, so he went to Dafa Rong'er first, and then he arrived. After they all left, Xu Zhaohua opened his eyes and saw that he was the only one left in the house, so he got up to look for a change of clothes.

After opening the door of the wardrobe, she heard the sound of footsteps outside, the door of the cabinet just covered her, I have to say that the door of this wardrobe is still very large, in order to save space, there will be such a big cabinet in the palace maid and eunuch's house, and everyone's clothes are put aside, so as long as the door is opened, Xu Zhaohua is just covered, and the people outside can't see it.

Xu Zhaohua didn't care about the sudden footsteps, which palace maid Xu forgot to bring something and came back to get it, but the next conversation had to be paid attention to by Xu Zhaohua.

"I know that you kept vigil last night, and I specially served you a meal this morning, so eat it quickly." This is the voice of Female Teacher Liu.

This made Xu Zhaohua behind the door stop looking for clothes: Who is Female Master Liu talking to? There is such a No. 1 palace maid in this Fu'an Palace, so that Female Master Liu can be like this? She said that she was keeping vigil, but the person who kept vigil here was Xiao Xu except her, and she took turns off last night, so the person who kept vigil last night was Xiao Xu.

What is the relationship between the two of them?

The person on the other side didn't speak, and there was a cold snort, followed by the sound of the bowl falling to the ground and shattering.

"Do you still hate me? What the hell do I do to be satisfied? Female Master Liu said in a somewhat low voice, with some crying in her voice.

This made Xu Zhaohua more and more curious, what happened between the two of them? Xu Zhaohua looked at the time outside, thinking that he should go out, and it would be difficult to explain when Xiao Xu came in and saw him.

Xu Zhaohua slowly took out a set of washed clothes, quickly changed them, put the old clothes into the cabinet again, and left through the window. When she went out, she was just in time for Rong'er to walk by, but she didn't see herself jumping out of the window.

"Xiao Ye, why did you only come out now, I have prepared a meal for you, don't be cold." Rong'er pushed her towards the kitchen.

"Thank you, Rong'er." Xu Zhaohua said gratefully.

Rong'er pretended to be angry and glanced at her: "It's good that you have accepted a little palace maid to watch you every day." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Xu Zhaohua imitated her expression in a similar way, and the two entered the small kitchen after fighting.

After dinner, she began to do some other work, cutting fallen leaves, cleaning windows, in fact, these are done by special people, she is only a second inspection, so it is fine, so that she can look around this Fu'an Palace.

"Xiao Ye, if you don't have anything to do, you can go to the side hall to clean up, so that you won't let Female Master Liu catch you and have nothing to do, if you are really caught by her, but some are busy." Rong'er on the side said to her while sweeping the floor.

Xu Zhaohua responded to her with a smile.

Walking to the side hall, thinking of Sui Feng's follower last night, Xu Zhaohua walked in with a rag. The decoration in this side hall is different from the decoration in the main hall of Fu'an Palace, where the old lady lived, the inside of this room is very simple and simple, a bed, a desk, and a row of bookcases are all.

This Sui Feng is not as unlearned as Zhou Sheng Cuobai said in the news he passed to her, is the news wrong, or can Sui Feng hide it? Xu Zhaohua felt that it was the latter, because he believed that Zhou Shengcuobai would definitely investigate and ensure that the news was correct before passing on the news to her.

Xu Zhaohua glanced at these dense books on the bookshelf one by one, all of them were everyone's works, it was impossible for a person who didn't learn and didn't know how to read these, why did Sui Feng pretend that he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it?

This made Xu Zhaohua feel that the truth was becoming more and more confusing.

Sui Feng on the other side suddenly thought that he had forgotten to lock the door of the side hall when he came out, and hurried to the side hall before he finished eating, and walked to the door to find that the door was opened a crack.

Someone went in?

He looked through the crack in the door and saw a familiar figure.

It's her? How could it be her? How he wished that the person inside was someone else, so that he could solve this problem ruthlessly, but looking at the person inside, he hesitated.

Sui Feng pushed open the door and quickly closed the door behind him, Xu Zhaohua was stunned when he heard the movement and turned around to see Sui Feng behind him, seeing Sui Feng's face expressionless, he didn't have the prodigal attitude he had in front of everyone on weekdays, Xu Zhaohua was even more sure that he must have hidden something.

"How did you get in?" Sui Feng asked coldly.

"Back to the prince, the slave and maid came in to clean." Xu Zhaohua replied.

Sui Feng saw the books standing on the shelves on the wall, and felt that no matter how interesting this woman was, she couldn't keep it.

"Cleaning? Who told you to clean it? Do you know that this side hall cannot be entered? Sui Feng slowly walked over to her step by step.

"Back to the prince's words, the slave doesn't know." Xu Zhaohua looked at Sui Feng's eyes and replied, remembering in his mind what Rong'er told her to come to the side hall to clean properly, did she deliberately lie to her? Still, she doesn't know.

"Oh? Now you know, you're going to have to pay for your actions. As he spoke, he quickly grabbed Xu Zhaohua's throat.

rushed to his throat and was clenched, Xu Zhaohua still said to Sui Feng without humility or arrogance: "Lord, the slave doesn't know what mistake I made, just come in and clean up, don't worry, the prince won't say anything when he sees those obscene books." ”

Obscene books, she actually said those were obscene books? Isn't she literate? Thinking that he slowly let go of his hand, Xu Zhaohua covered his neck and coughed, pulled her to the desk with a pair of big hands, and wrote a few big words with a wave of the pen.

Xu Zhaohua pretended not to know and shook his head: "Lord Wang, slaves and maids are vulgar people, don't make these jokes about slaves and maids." ”

"Don't you recognize those words?" Sui Feng was a little surprised and a little excited. He hoped that Xu Zhaohua would not know, so that he would have a reason to keep her alive.

Seeing Xu Zhaohua nodded, Sui Feng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and even had some smiles on his face: "I don't know good, I don't know good, remember your words, if this king hears someone say that he not only behaves profligately but also prefers obscene books, he will give you good fruits to eat." ”

Xu Zhaohua nodded in fear, who knew that Sui Feng didn't know where it came from, and suddenly wanted to teach her to write her name, and before she could agree or refuse, he grabbed Xu Zhaohua's hand and waved it on the paper.

Xu Zhaohua felt the warmth on his wrist and the beating of his chest behind him, and felt a little uncomfortable, allowing him to grab his handwriting, and secretly looked at Sui Feng sideways, I have to say that his appearance is indeed handsome, but thinking of the way he looked just now, he felt even more unfathomable.

Obviously can write, but he has to pretend that he can't write, and his name is deliberately twisted when he writes it, which makes Sui Feng laugh, and Xu Zhaohua also laughs faintly.

The laughter of the two is not the same meaning at all.

Afterwards, the two walked out of the side hall together, and Rong'er, who was cleaning the courtyard not far away, saw that both of them had smiles on their faces, and was a little surprised, and an inexplicable wonderful thing flashed in her eyes.

Xiao Xu, who went out for a walk, was also very surprised when he saw this scene, didn't this side hall never let people in? Why did Zhao Ye go in but nothing happened?

Xu Zhaohua looked at Rong'er who was sweeping the floor in the distance, and his eyes were a little complicated: What is her intention?

Then Xu Zhaohua left with other work to do, Sui Feng looked at her distant back, something strange flowed out of his heart, warm, sweet, he didn't know why he felt this way.

Xu Zhaohua walked up to Rong'er, and Rong'er immediately smiled and said to her, "Xiao Ye, it's been cleaned so quickly." ”

A naïve face.

She looked around and no one was watching, Xiao Xu, who was next to the flower bed, also left, and immediately dragged Rong'er behind a wall: "What kind of trick are you playing?" Xu Zhaohua said viciously.

Rong'er's eyes looked away a little evasively, and then immediately looked at Xu Zhaohua's eyes and said, "What tricks?" Xiao Ye, what are you talking about, I didn't understand. He lowered his head as he spoke.

Xu Zhaohua stretched out his hand and pinched Rong'er's chin vigorously: "You know that the side hall can't enter and exit at will, but you deliberately frame me in, what are your intentions?" ”

Rong'er was a little painful to be caught, after all, Xu Zhaohua had learned martial arts, and a light scratch was enough to make her feel unbearable: "I don't know? ”

Xu Zhaohua added another point of strength: "You don't know? You don't know what everyone in Fu'an Palace knows? ”

Rong'er knew that it was difficult to hide, so she immediately changed her face and said with a smile: "I have been an errand boy in Fu'an Palace for three years, and I have been a sweeper until now. And you? You Zhao Ye can eat with the old lady after only one night, and Lady Liu is still kind to you intentionally or unintentionally, even this morning the old lady knew that you were still sleeping and asked me to serve you a good meal in advance and not disturb your rest, these can't tell you. On what grounds? ”

Rong'er said and began to shake her head desperately, tears all over her face.

Xu Zhaohua only knew that this was the case, but she was still resentful that Rong'er treated her like this, she Xu Zhaohua had never hurt her once, but she used her trust so much.

Rong'er continued: "I thought that after you entered the side hall and were found by Prince Feng, you would not be able to eat and walk around, but I didn't expect the two of you to come out with a smile, the old lady cares for you, even Lord Feng is like this, what medicine did you give them?" ”

Xu Zhaohua grabbed Rong'er's collar: "I'll tell you, it's my own business who I drugged, and in the future, you will take care of your mouth for me and be a man with your tail between your legs." Otherwise, I'll tear your mouth apart! After speaking, Rong'er fell to the ground hard.

Sure enough, the human heart is the most terrible thing.

After learning Sui Feng's secret, Xu Zhaohua needed to quickly tell the news to Zhou Sheng Cuobai.

She couldn't wait for the night, and she had to deliver the news now. So he went back to the house, put on the human skin mask again, and walked in the direction of the rockery.

As soon as he came out of the gate of Fu'an Palace, he met a group of people walking in front of the door, and the eunuchs and palace maids who passed by knelt down and lowered their heads, Xu Zhaohua also quickly knelt down, and secretly raised his head, the person who just passed was Sui Yue!

This is the first time she has seen the real Sui Yue since she entered the Dao Daduan Palace, Sui Yue was followed by Xian Yue, she helped Sui Yue to walk forward slowly, looking at Sui Yue's back Xu Zhaohua felt a little veneer and wooden, like a puppet who was carried by someone to walk on a line.

Since she was wearing a human skin mask, she didn't notice her.

It seemed that they were walking in the direction of the Imperial Garden, and Xu Zhaohua followed quietly not far behind. When they arrived at the Imperial Garden, the palace maid and eunuch who called the entourage stopped, and she and Sui Yue went in.

What does Slender want to do? At this time, do you still go to the Imperial Garden to see the decayed grass and flowers? Why did she go in with Sui Yue alone, what purpose did she have?

Hesitating to guard people at the gate of the Imperial Garden, Xu Zhaohua couldn't go in openly, and saw the rockery not far away, and had a clever plan in his heart.

She climbed the rockery and found a few withered grasses for cover. Seeing Xian Yue in the imperial garden looking back behind him after walking away, he found that there were still a few turns at such a distance, and the palace maid and the eunuch couldn't see what they were doing, so they grabbed Sui Yue's collar and dragged him in the direction of the West Third Palace like a carry.

It's time to go to the West Third Palace!

Xu Zhaohua was shocked, originally she thought that the West Third Palace was just a place where something bizarre had happened, and this specific thing was just inconvenient for people to know. Now it seems that she feels that things are far from being as simple as she imagined.

Xu Zhaohua quietly followed the two, and after seeing Xian Yue looking left and right, he took Sui Yue to open the seal on the door and entered the door of the West Third Palace, and then there was a dull sound of the door closing.

Xu Zhaohua has now determined that there are secrets in the West Third Palace that she is far from discovering.

She came to the rockery again, wrote the news on the maple leaf and put it in the river, Xu Zhaohua watched the maple leaf slowly drift away before leaving with confidence.

She returned to Fu'an Palace and saw Xiao Xu always looking at her intentionally or unintentionally, which made her feel uncomfortable, maybe she just came out of Sui Feng's side hall and let her see it, so it was a little strange.

Many mysteries were entangled in Xu Zhaohua's mind, and she felt that she had to solve these things quickly.

She walked to the main hall of the old lady.

When the old lady saw Xu Zhaohua come in with a solemn face, she had already thought that she might have something important, so in order to facilitate her speech, she sent all the palace maids in the house out under the pretext that she was tired and needed to rest, leaving Xu Zhaohua alone.

"The Emperor... Zhaohua, did you encounter something? The old lady asked with concern.

"Aunt Shen, I want to lurk next to Sui Yue," Xu Zhaohua replied.

"Hmm... In this way, you should go and lie dormant beside the king, it just so happens that you have also learned some information about the Daduan Royal Palace these days, and being next to Sui Yue can indeed make the truth quickly surface. The old lady said thoughtfully.

"I can find a way to arrange for you to go to Sui Yue's side. Rest well today, and tomorrow things will be done. ”

Although Xu Zhaohua insisted on not letting herself call her the queen mother, although this title has been changed, she still subconsciously likes to call her "you", first of all, she is the queen of Dongqi, and she herself is the people of Dongqi; Secondly, she always felt that Xu Zhaohua had an aura on her body, which was enough to make her surrender.

After getting the news, Xu Zhaohua was very calm, which was within her expectations. Aunt Shen has been in this Daduan Palace for so many years, and it is still easy to arrange a palace maid to Sui Yue's side.

After returning to her residence, Xu Zhaohua wanted to sleep well, and she hadn't had a good rest in the past few days. Xiao Xu was sitting in the room, and Xu Zhaohua saw her looking at herself with a smile.

"I see what's written on it." Xiao Xu said.

Xu Zhaohua's posture of pouring water stopped, but she still reacted quickly:

"I don't know what Sister Xiao Xu means," she continued, pouring water.

"I know you're using the maple leaf to deliver news to the outside, and I'm also investigating what you're investigating," Xiao Xu stood up.

Xu Zhaohua knew that it was pointless for him to continue to pretend that he didn't know anything, so he simply followed Xiao Xu's words and said, "What did you investigate?"

"There is an underground palace under construction under the West Third Palace," Xiao Xu put his hand on his chest and looked at Xu Zhaohua.

The dungeon? What was Sui Chen's purpose in building the underground palace?

"Why are you telling me this?" Xu Zhaohua grasped the essence.

"Because I'm the same as you, I hate Sui Chen." Xiao Xu tightened his teeth and said.

Xu Zhaohua also hated Sui Chen, it was he who pressed Cuobai step by step, forcing him to jump off the cliff, and being forced to separate from Cuobai for five years.

She naturally hates Sui Chen, so why is Xiao Xu?

Before Xu Zhaohua could ask, Xiao Xu began to say by himself: "My mother's tongue was cut off because of his order, and her appearance was ruined."

Xu Zhaohua suddenly thought of a person, carefully examined Xiao Xu's face, and sure enough, there were some similarities with the mute woman he met on the street that day. Her name, Xiao Xu, Xiao Su.

"Are you Xiaoxu" Xu Zhaohua asked, his demeanor was natural and he didn't show too much surprise.

"Of course I'm Xiao Xu" Xiao Xu said a little impatiently, and then asked Xu Zhaohua with some surprise after reacting: "How do you know?"

Her tone was full of uncertainty.

"It's time to call you Xiao Su in the future, Xiao Su, it was your mother who told me to pay attention to your whereabouts after entering the Daduan Palace." Xu Zhaohua said.

"How did you know each other, how is she?" Xiao Su, who heard the news, shouted with tears in her eyes.

Thinking of the scene when he first met Xiaoxu's mother, Xu Zhaohua couldn't bear to tell her, and later left her a lot of silver to repay when he left, thinking that there should be no problem in living now to the extent of being well fed and clothed.

"She's good."

Xu Zhaohua's simple two words made Xiaoxu completely burst the embankment.

She quietly listened to Xiaoxu tell her past, how she grew up in a relative's house since she was a child, how the money sent to her by her mother every month was deducted by her relatives, how she walked on thin ice after entering the palace, and how she would be now......

Sui Feng saved Xiao Su?

Xu saw Xu Zhaohua's doubts, Xiao Su said that he didn't understand the rules when he first came to the palace in the first year, and just wanted to get close to Sui Chen to avenge his mother, a general's daughter who loved Sui Chen mistakenly thought that she was going to seduce Sui Chen, and when she was invited by the imperial concubine to the palace to participate in the tea party, she was framed by the general's daughter for stealing her jade pendant.

Immediately, she became the target of public criticism, and they even searched for her god in public and humiliated her. At that time, there were many people at the tea party, and no one came out to say a word, until King Feng said faintly: "So many people bully a little girl, shameless." Those are the ones who gave up.

Later, she tried her best to come to Fu'an Palace on an errand, just to be able to see Prince Feng more.

Xu Zhaohua quietly listened to Xiao Su's narration. But Xiao Su didn't say anything about what happened between herself and Female Master Liu, Xu Zhaohua thought, that might be another story, when Xiao Su wants to say it, when she listens.

After Xiao Su finished speaking, the two didn't speak for a long time, as if they were chewing back those memories of the past. Xu Zhaohua told Xiao Su that she really hated Sui Chen, but she sneaked into the Daduan Palace not only to take revenge, but also to investigate Sui Yue's witchcraft. She didn't tell Xiaosu her true identity and relationship with the old lady, and it didn't matter whether the other person knew it or not.

Xiao Su didn't know that Sui Yue was under witchcraft, so he was very shocked after hearing this. The two hit it off and decided to join forces to investigate together, so Xu Zhaohua had another ally in this Daduan Palace.

In the blink of an eye, it was dark, and Xu Zhaohua should go to the vigil as usual.

After seeing the old lady, Xu Zhaohua hesitated to tell Aunt Shen about Xiao Su, but after thinking about it, he still didn't speak, it was better to let the old lady find out about this kind of thing or Xiao Su told the old lady personally.

Thinking of Xiao Su's love for Sui Feng, Xu Zhaohua asked the old lady about Xiao Su's evaluation of Xiao Su, she thought about it, and didn't seem to have much impression of Xiao Su.

Xu Zhaohua sighed secretly in her heart, it seemed that she was going to hint that Xiao Su walked around in front of the old lady more on weekdays.

The old lady told Xu Zhaohua that someone would take her to Sui Yue's dormitory at dawn tomorrow morning, and she had secretly sent someone to get through the relationship, but Xu Zhaohua should wear a human skin mask so as not to be recognized.

It was late at night, and the old lady took out a set of quilts from the cabinet for Xu Zhaohua to cover, in order not to make people suspicious, Xu Zhaohua spent the night on the couch.

The next day, it was slightly bright, and a gentle knock on the door woke up the old lady and Xu Zhaohua, and before the sky was bright, a rush of footsteps sounded in the palace.
