[The courtyard is a little deeper] 8

The [Azure Palace] under the cover of night was brightly lit as usual, and Xin'er was standing in the main hall, commanding the inferior palace maids with a serious expression, sorting out the things in the palace. The only thing that is different from usual is that Yu Changnuo, who usually sits on the main seat and drinks tea, returned to the dormitory today because he was uncomfortable. Xin'er looked at the darkening sky outside, and the uneasiness in her heart increased a little, secretly praying that her master could come back soon, and seeing that it was about to go to bed, Xin'er, who was about to extinguish the candlelight in the main hall, heard the announcement.

"The Queen Mother drove to !!" The eunuch's shrill voice frightened Xin'er, and then immediately knelt on the ground.

"The slave maid visits the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an." The Queen Mother walked into the main hall with Yan Qiu's support, sat on the main seat, and looked around.

"Get up!" Xin'er, who got up slowly, secretly glanced at the Queen Mother and found that she seemed to be looking for something. Xin'er secretly screamed in her heart that it was not good, and sure enough, the Queen Mother asked Yu Changnuo in the next sentence.

"Where's your master?" The Queen Mother asked.

"If you go back to the Queen Mother, Miss will go back to the room to rest first if she is a little uncomfortable, and the slave will go and invite Miss over." After receiving the Queen Mother's consent, Xin'er slowly retreated from the main hall and hurriedly walked towards Yu Changnuo's bedroom.

Pushing open the door, there was still no one in the dormitory, Xin'er first lit all the candles, pretending to have just woken up Yu Changnuo. After a while, Xin'er couldn't sit still, and kept walking around the room, looking out the window from time to time, praying that Yu Changnuo could come back soon. Perhaps the heavens heard her voice, and after her one hundred and fifty-third prayer, there was a slight noise outside the window. Xin'er hurriedly opened the window and pulled Yu Changnuo outside the window in.

"Master, you're finally back, the Queen Mother is waiting outside, if you don't come back, you'll be in trouble!" Yu Changnuo looked helplessly at Xin'er in front of him, who looked like she was about to cry, and stretched out his hand to pinch her face.

"Okay, hurry up and change my clothes, otherwise the Queen Mother will be angry in a while!" Hearing Yu Changnuo's words, Xin'er thought that there was a big Buddha waiting in the main hall! So he hurriedly began to change Yu Changnuo's clothes. Yu Changnuo, who was sitting at the dressing table, put a hairpin on the table, an unknown light flashed in his eyes, and he recalled the scene he had just seen.

Yu Changnuo followed the sneaky palace maid for about half a pillar of incense, and finally came to an ancient well. I saw that the palace maid knelt down and opened the baggage, and in the baggage was some paper money and some clothes and jewelry, the palace maid lit the pile of paper money while chanting words, and Yu Changnuo saw clearly the appearance of the palace maid by the firelight, which was actually the peony that I had just met yesterday, that is, the pear rui. Yu Changnuo quietly approached Peony, and finally heard what she was saying.

"Niangniang, the slave is wrong, you shouldn't take your things, the slave will return it to you, don't come to the slave and maid!!" As he spoke, he threw the clothes into the fire. Seeing that the flames were about to burn things out, Yu Changnuo deliberately threw a stone into the surrounding grass, and Peony, who heard the sound, hurriedly stepped on the burning fire a few times without seeing if the fire was extinguished, turned around and ran quickly. After she left, Yu Changnuo, who was hiding on the side, walked out, picked up the pile of ashes with a branch, and a golden thing was revealed. For some reason, Yu Changnuo was a little familiar with this hairpin, as if she had seen it somewhere, so she wrapped the hairpin in a handkerchief and brought it back.

"Master? Master? Yu Changnuo, who heard Xin'er's voice, came back to his senses and found that Xin'er had already coiled her hair in a bun.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just want to ask the owner where such a beautiful lily hairpin came from, how come I have never seen it???" Xin'er's words reminded Yu Changnuo, and she thought of where she had seen this hairpin, in the painting of the [Department of Internal Affairs], the woman was wearing such a hairpin. As if thinking of something, Yu Changnuo evoked a cold smile and gently put the lily hairpin in his hand on his head.

"Xin'er, let's go to see the Queen Mother!!"
