Zhou took Ruan Si into the palace from the corner gate, and followed the palace maid all the way into the palace of Zhou Guiren.

The palace people said that the nobles had not yet gotten up from their naps.

Ruan Si had no choice but to wait in the warm pavilion, and Zhou excused himself to change his clothes, and left after a few words with her.

In her previous life, she had never entered the palace, so she didn't know what the rules in the palace were.

But she stayed for two or three hours and was not summoned.

Ruan Si realized that she was secretly held in the palace as a hostage.

There were several palace maids guarding the door of the warm pavilion, and as soon as she asked, she deduced that Zhou Guiren was talking to her sister, and asked her to be patient and wait.

Ruan Si retreated back to the pavilion, clutching the human skin mask in his hand, thinking about how to deceive everyone's eyes.

Later, a eunuch brought a maid in to bring her tea.

The eunuch wrote the word "Su" in the palm of his hand and quietly showed it to Ruan Si.

Ruan Si dipped the tea and wrote the name of "Su Yaji" on the table, and the eunuch nodded, adding the word "Yan" at the back.

Before she left, she asked Jin Ling'er to tell Yan Yingzhou where she went.

Su Yaji is now a scholar in the official residence, and he naturally has his way in the palace, and it is reasonable for Yan Yingzhou to ask him for help.

The eunuch asked the palace maid to change her clothes and put them on for Ruan Si.

Ruan Si deliberately put on a human skin mask and changed the palace maid's hair bun, and a completely strange woman appeared in the mirror.

Before the eunuch took her out of the warm pavilion and left, he told her not to look up or talk to anyone.

Ruan Si followed him and left briskly from the path in the palace.

The eunuch said that as long as he passed through the door in front of him, he would walk a little further to the nearest palace gate.

He had already given Ruan Si the token to leave the palace according to Su Yaji's instructions.

Ruan Si didn't dare to come out, and followed him all the way.

Most of the palace people encountered on the road were busy palace people, and the eunuch was able to deal with it easily, Ruan Si only had to bow his head and be silent.

I saw that the gate was nearing......

"Get on your knees!"

The eunuch let out a low snort, and Laruan Si retreated to the wall and knelt down.

I saw a magnificent guard of honor coming, and a middle-aged man sat on the chariot and looked down at them.

The man's bearing was noble, and he had the arrogance and dignity of the superior.

He had swept over the two of them with a gaze overlooking the grass mustard, but when his steps passed by Ruan Si's side, he suddenly breathed sluggishly.

"Stop."

As soon as he raised his hand, the chariot and the team stopped in front of her.

Ruan Si was nervous, and the human skin mask on his face seemed to be tense in an instant.

She heard the man ask, "Who is this?" ”

The eunuch hurriedly replied: "If you return to Prince Duan, she is a palace slave who has just entered the secluded court. ”

Prince Duan stared at Ruan Si condescendingly, and said slowly, "Raise your head." ”

Ruan Si's back was cold, but he was forced by the majesty of Prince Duan, so he had to raise his head with his eyes lowered.

The expression on Prince Duan's face was obviously stunned.

There was an unnatural tremor in his voice.

"Look at the king."

The eunuch was so anxious that he was dripping with cold sweat, and Ruan Si was not feeling well, and he could almost hear his violent heartbeat.

Her heart tightened, and she had to reply, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

Prince Duan's voice sounded above her head, as if coming from the unattainable clouds.

"This is the king's command."

She lifted her eyes and looked slowly at the man who stood tall above her.

"Chaoyun, is that you......" Prince Duan's eyes suddenly froze, "What's your name?" ”

Ruan Si fell to the ground and bowed: "Sin slave Liu." ”

He stared at the woman kneeling on the ground for a while, and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Yun'er won't look at me with that kind of look." ”

Prince Duan raised his hand in amazement and motioned for the team to move on.

After they walked away, the chief eunuch took a breath, wiped his sweat and said, "I'm afraid I have to take you to the secluded court this time." ”

In the secluded court, many women who were used as palace slaves were washing clothes.

In order to hide people's eyes, Ruan Si was brought in by the eunuch, and also pretended to follow a woman in Huanyi.

Most of the palace slaves here are after the sinners.

Before they were confiscated into the court, many of them were the daughters of official eunuchs.

Ruan Si noticed that the woman next to her who was wearing clothes had a very special birthmark on her arm.

Like ...... Butterfly?

The woman ignored her, and just kept her head down and worked.

"Hey, you can wash these too."

A woman of five years and three thick threw a large stack of dirty clothes beside her.

The woman raised her head as if dissatisfied, and the woman sneered: "You are a criminal slave from the house of a thief, do you still think that you are the mother of the county lord?" ”

Everyone raised their heads, stopped what they were doing, and you mocked me word by word.

The woman's eyes flashed with unwillingness, but she quickly returned to the hollow, bowed her head and scrubbed the clothes of the eunuch and palace maid.

Ruan Si stayed in the crowd for most of the day.

It wasn't until the eunuch came to call her that she slipped out quietly, and when she asked, she found out that the woman was the daughter left behind by the first traitor, and she used to be a county lord.

The sons and nephews who rebelled against the king were all killed, but only the daughter did not enter the court and became a slave.

Ruan Si felt sorry for it, but he was quite concerned about the butterfly birthmark.

Just as they were about to leave the Hidden Court, Prince Duan suddenly led someone to break into here.

A palace slave with a laundry basin was violently pushed away and slammed to the ground, and the dirty water in the basin splashed half of Prince Duan's clothes.

The housekeeper's grandmother hurriedly came out to kneel down to make amends, and commanded people to help the prince clean his sleeves.

Ruan Si knelt in the crowd and caught a glimpse of Prince Duan's rolled up sleeves, revealing a butterfly-shaped birthmark.

She was shocked in her heart, looked at the county lord, and suddenly had some bad associations.

Butterfly Jade ......

The guards beside Prince Duan waved away the palace maid and wanted to send him back to change his clothes.

Ruan Sigang breathed a sigh of relief, and disappeared in the crowd and was about to leave quietly, when Prince Duan's people suddenly stopped her, "It's you, come here." ”

Prince Duan stood proudly outside the door.

He was tall, dressed in a robe of rich fabric, and had a fierce killing determination around him.

The eunuch hurriedly hid in the shadows and watched with concern as Ruan Si slowly walked towards that side.

Prince Duan had a few fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but this did not hinder his majesty.

Doubts and wavering flashes in his falcon-like eyes.

But in the end, it turned into a sentence that came to the mouth, "You, look at me." ”

At this time, night fell, and the palace was already lit up.

The secluded courtyard also provoked a bright lantern.

In the orange candlelight, Ruan Si couldn't avoid it, and she felt a sharp and complex gaze cut through her disguise like a knife.

Finally, she looked up at the other party.

Prince Duan saw the face of a bright and moving girl.

Even if he had seen countless palace concubines and ladies who were like flowers and jade, he had to admit that it was an extremely beautiful face.

But it wasn't the one he wanted to see.

Ruan Si lowered his eyebrows and stood there timidly, just like the daughters of other criminal ministers who had just entered the court.

Prince Duan sighed and said, "Let's go." ”

After he led people away, the soles of Ruan Si's feet were weak, as if he was stepping on clouds.

The eunuch hurriedly took her out of the palace by taking a shortcut.

On the way, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I don't know how the prince came here, but fortunately you took off the human skin mask." ”

When kneeling in the crowd earlier, Ruan Si fell to the ground and quietly pulled his mask.

What Prince Duan saw was her real face.

The human skin mask was modeled after the face of a woman in the capital who was imprisoned in Linquan Prison.

She couldn't think about who the woman really was.

The butterfly birthmark has to be known to Yan Yingzhou as soon as possible......
