"Miss, you're ready."

Qiu Lu nodded at her almost invisibly.

The corners of Wen Qingyu's lips hooked, she had never had a pleasant experience when she entered the palace several times.

And how can you not prepare well?

Today, if only there was nothing to do. If Lian Yin wants to strike first, she doesn't mind making the water more mixed.

The Imperial Garden was already full.

Today's palace banquet is to receive the wedding history of the Shu Kingdom, so only the Manchu Dynasty civil and military and the older generation of ladies present, and there are no flocks of warblers and Yanyan as in the past.

At this moment, the feast did not begin, and the male and female guests temporarily rested in the palace prepared for them.

All the wives are now sitting under the pillars of the pavilion in the imperial garden, gossiping about their daily routines. Watching Wen Qingyu come over, the lively atmosphere was obviously stiff.

Wen Qingyu sneered in her heart, where can she care about the eyebrow and eye lawsuit between women?

There is only one person who can get her attention at this moment.

A pair of clear eyes quickly swept under the eaves of the porch, and immediately saw a woman in her thirties sitting alone on the side.

The woman was dressed in a three-rank lady's dress, and her hair was bunned up, but she did not wear the delicate jewels like the others. Only a few simple plain silver hairpins were inserted diagonally.

"Mrs. Wen."

Wen Qingyu walked slowly towards her, and the woman was the wife of Lord Shang Shuwen of the Ministry of War. Now, she sits alone in the most inconspicuous corner under the eaves of the porch, where did she think that someone would come to her?

"Rong ...... Princess?! ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Mrs. Wen's eyebrows, but she quickly got up and bowed to Wen Qingyu.

Wen Qingyu smiled slightly, and before she could bow down, he took the lead in reaching out to stop her.

"I haven't gotten married yet, so I can't afford my wife's gift."

Mrs. Wen was slightly stunned, and a faint smile overflowed from the corner of her eyes.

"In any case, the status of the county lord is much more noble than that of the little woman."

Wen Qingyu stared at Mrs. Wen without blinking a pair of clear eyes, seeing that although she had a smile on her face, the smile never reached the bottom of her eyes.

"Why is Mrs. Wen sitting alone in the corner?"

After Wen Qingyu said this, seeing that Mrs. Wen's brows were anxious and her brows were invisible, there was a trace of vigilance and alienation in her expression.

Wen Qingyu casually took off a half-open cluster of golden cinnamon hairpins from the side and put them on Mrs. Wen's bun.

"Today's palace banquet, Mrs. is so plain, don't be regarded as disrespectful."

Wen Qingyu took a step back and staggered half an arm's length from Mrs. Wen. Mrs. Wen's eyes flashed, and the vigilance in her eyes deepened a little.

Wen Qingyu pursed her lips and smiled: "Madame has never been a dull person, so she sits alone and doesn't communicate with others. It will inevitably arouse the suspicion of those who have a heart. ”

With that, he nodded at her and turned to Luo Yeji's seat. Luo Damei was not in the seat, just enough to sit down and rest.

She had just stood beside Luo Yeji's table when a palace maid greeted her.

"Miss Qingyu, where is your seat?"

The palace maid raised her hand, and pointed to a table in the inconspicuous corner of the female guest seat opposite.

"Oh?" The corners of Wen Qingyu's lips hooked, but his feet did not move a bit.

The palace maid's fingers gradually froze there.

"Miss Qingyu, there is a fixed number of seats for the palace banquet, please don't break the rules."

Wen Qingyu nodded: "I know." ”

After that, Shi Shiran sat on the seat of Luo Yeji.

"Miss Qingyu......" The palace maid's face finally changed, where did she think that Wen Qingyu would be so unsympathetic?

"I can't sit here?"

Wen Qingyu raised his eyes and supported his jaw with his bare hands, obviously with a hint of interest in his clear eyes.

The palace maid choked: "Here...... It is the seat of King Rong, and the status of King Rong is noble. ”

"Understood." Wen Qingyu nodded, propped up the table and stood up: "Since King Rong's status is noble, I am not worthy of him." Then it won't be much fun for me to participate in this palace banquet, so let's go out of the palace. ”

As he spoke, he raised his feet and walked towards the outside of the Imperial Garden.

At this moment, the palace maid was obviously panicked: "Miss Qingyu stays." ”

"How?" A cold glint flashed in Wen Qingyu's clear eyes: "There is no place for Miss Ben here, aren't you allowed to leave?" ”

The palace maid suddenly lowered her head, and the delicate and bright woman opposite was obviously smiling, but she felt an infinite pressure, and that kind of pressure made her not even have the strength to raise her head.

"That's it, I won't embarrass you, I'll go and sit there."

Wen Qingyu suddenly had a hint of curiosity, isn't it just a seat? This palace maid had to ask her to sit in vain, what unsightly things had been prepared?

Today, everyone is watching, is it easy to use any shady means?

The palace maid was obviously relieved, and immediately led Wen Qingyu towards her seat.

"Xiao Yu'er."

Wen Qingyu was just about to sit down, but his wrist tightened, but he asked Lian Rui to pull it up.

"Come with me."

"Lord Wang." The palace maid's face changed, and she suddenly blocked in front of Lian Rui.

Lian Rui's face sank: "Why, you still dare to stop this king?" ”

The palace maid's body trembled: "The slave doesn't dare!" ”

Lian Rui completely ignored the palace maid and pulled Wen Qingyu out of the imperial garden.

Lian Rui walked extremely fast, and his face was clouded, and there was no trace of a smile. The strength in his hand is not small, and it hurts Wen Qingyu's wrist. All the way around, it is getting farther and farther away from the imperial garden.

Wen Qingyu looked up at the people who were gradually becoming scarce, and his footsteps finally paused.

"Lian Rui, where are you taking me?"

Lian Rui turned his head and raised his eyebrows, bringing out a touch of mockery.

"What, can the master still eat you? When did you become so daring? ”

Wen Qingyu sighed: "If you miss the time of the banquet, there will be some trouble." ”

Lian Rui's face relaxed, and his usual smile finally overflowed in his eyebrows.

"Well, we're not going to be the latest."

Wen Qingyu can't, Lian Rui has always been lawless, and he never cares about any rules. If he decides something, usually no one can persuade him.

"Here we are."

Lian Rui's voice softened significantly, and it was no longer as tense as just now.

Wen Qingyu raised his eyes and looked around, this should have been a palace originally. The area is not large, and the decoration is not luxurious.

If she hadn't known that she must be in the palace at the moment, she would have almost been suspicious of an ordinary person.

"Where is this?"

Wen Qingyu stared at the low house with green bricks and green tiles in front of him, and in his memory, there had never been such a place in the palace.

The corners of Lian Rui's lips hooked, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

"This is the place where the Queen Mother has prepared for me to rest during my stay in the palace, is it...... My place! ”

Wen Qingyu knew that Lian Rui could not hesitate to say that it was his place, then this place should be able to speak with confidence. What does Lian Rui have to say to her?

"You can let me go." Wen Qingyu smiled at him: "You caught me, it hurts." ”

Lian Rui shook his hand, his eyes suddenly glanced at Wen Qingyu's wrist, and sure enough, he saw an obvious red mark on Yu Baihao's wrist under the moonlight, so he pursed his lips.

"Does this hurt? If you sit in that position, I'm afraid you won't feel pain anymore. ”

Wen Qingyu raised his eyebrows: "Can't sit in that position?" ”

Lian Rui pursed his lips: "I can't sit still!" ”

"Why?"

"You come with me."

Lian Rui flashed into the house and beckoned Wen Qingyu to come over. Next, he pushed aside the corner bookshelf.

Then, without hesitation, he wiped the wall, and saw that a wall was opened like a door in an instant.

A large hole was cut out of the wall, and a dense row of bamboo tubes hung on it.

Wen Qingyu's eyes flashed, but he was not surprised. The palace has always been a place rich in secrets.

"Listen to it."

Lian Rui took a bamboo tube from the wall and handed it to Wen Qingyu, motioning for her to put it on her ear.

Extremely quickly, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, because the voice of speech could be heard in the bamboo tube. That voice, she knew very well, it was...... Autumn cloud dyeing!

"As long as you are willing to promise me, I will definitely help you!"

"You know, I never wanted you to be hurt in the slightest."

"In my heart, you are more important than anything else. You should know that the fact that I can tell you this today is enough to help you. ”

Wen Qingyu was silent for a moment, Qiu Yunran's tone was ...... Why?

"Huh."

A light laugh suddenly came from the bamboo tube, and Wen Qingyu's body instantly stiffened.

This laughter, low and lazy, seems to be carelessly indifferent. But those who hear it will lose their spirits at once.

Is that......

Wen Qingyu gritted his teeth, Luo Yeji! Try laughing again!

"The imperial concubine seems to have found the wrong person."

The voice in the earpiece paused, and Qiu Yunran continued.

"Don't you know who I am?"

"I know, today's first-class imperial concubine, the emperor has given the right to command the harem. This king is not deaf, where will he not know? ”

"Luo Nightmark." Qiu Yunran was obviously angry: "You know that's not what I'm talking about. ”

"Niangniang's current identity can only be this."

"I ...... I'm not a royal concubine at all, as long as you ......"

"It's not early, Qingqing's body is not good, and he can't leave anyone."

"Luo Nightmark!" Qiu Yunran's voice suddenly sharpened: "You have to do this to me?" ”

There was no sound below, and it took a long time to hear Qiu Yunran whisper.

"Without my help, do you think she'll survive tonight?"

"Whether you live or not, I have to worry about it. Don't bother with it. The king retired. ”

"Luo Yeji, you're back!"

“……”

Wen Qingyu raised his eyebrows, and hung the bamboo tube on the wall absently.

"What are you doing to me listening to this?"

"There are a total of 2,300 bamboo tubes, which lead to all the palaces in the palace."

Wen Qingyu looked at Lian Yin, so ......?

Lian Yin pursed his lips: "I can know a lot of things that I didn't want to know." ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

"Beware of autumn clouds, beware of Wu Mingyue. These people are afraid that they have other plans today. ”

Wen Qingyu's eyes flashed, and she finally nodded: "I know, thank you." ”

"And your position, you can't sit anymore anyway."

"Huh?"

"I'm afraid there's something shady in that position."

Wen Qingyu knew that Lian Rui must have heard something, so he suddenly pulled her up when he saw that she was about to sit down.

Is there really something wrong with that seat?

"Did you hear what I said?" Lian Rui frowned, obviously slightly dissatisfied because Wen Qingyu didn't react for a long time.

"I heard it and wrote it down." Wen Qingyu smiled at him.

Lian Rui's brows furrowed, and he finally sighed: "That's it, it's okay tonight." With me and Luo Yeji, you will definitely not be injured at all. ”

Wen Qingyu nodded: "I believe this." ”

"Xiao Yu'er." Lian Rui's tone paused, but his pupils darkened suddenly, and a trace of complex light flashed extremely quickly.

"Recently, Kyori is only afraid that it will not be peaceful. Unfortunately, I can't protect you anymore. ”
