The words were divided into two ends, and when He Shu, Zha He and others went to the banquet, Dou Yifang changed back into women's clothes, dressed up as a palace maid, and left Qingxuan Pavilion.

At night, no one paid attention to her at all.

Where to start investigating, Dou Yifang didn't have a clue.

She just wanted to see her daughter now, asked a palace maid, and was very relieved to learn that Liu Concubine was raised by the concubine.

When she came to Fengyi Palace, the guards asked her why she came, and Dou Yifang claimed to be the palace maid of the Weaving and Dyeing Department, and came to tailor the little princess.

The gatekeepers knew that the concubine doted on the little princess, so they didn't ask too much and let Dou Yi's room in.

The concubine went to bed early, so the palace people of Fengyi Palace started to watch the night early. There are not many people in the palace on duty at night, and the Fengyi Palace is big, so Dou Yifang easily avoided them.

Where will her children be? The concubine is used to going to bed early, and Liu Concubine will not be by her side, most likely at the nurse's place.

And the concubine loves the little princess, and she should be able to see her at any time when she wants to, so the nurse's room is next to the concubine's bedroom, maybe in the side hall.

Dou Yifang went there, her guess was correct, she heard the baby's cry. The cry tugged at her heart, and it hurt faintly.

There is a shadow of a nurse holding a swaddling baby back and forth in the window, and the nurse can faintly hear coaxing the baby, but the baby just can't stop.

Could it be that she sensed that her mother was nearby and wanted to return to her mother's arms?

Listening to the crying, Dou Yifang's heart was broken, and his eyes were already wet with tears. She really wanted to open the door and rush in and take her daughter with her.

Just then, someone approached.

Dou Yifang immediately hid in the shadows, only to hear someone say to the nurse: "The concubine can't sleep, let you carry the princess over...... Ah, why is she crying so much? ”

"I think I miss the concubine! ......" said the nurse.

After a while, they carried the child to the main hall.

Dou Yifang couldn't wait to rush out to stop them and snatch Liu Yan.

Liu Yan's cry has always touched Dou Yifang's heart, and Dou Yifang also followed.

The nurse handed Liu into the hands of the concubine, and Dou Yifang followed into the hall, which was seen by a grandmother. Mama didn't seem to look closely, so she didn't see that it was a raw face.

"What are you doing in a daze, go get a basin of hot water." Mama said as she walked, and then entered the inner room.

Dou Yifang was startled just now, but now he was finally relieved. She walked out of the main hall, went to the kitchen, and brought a basin of hot water.

When she came to the temple, a voice came from within, telling her to come in. Dou Yifang's heartbeat gradually accelerated, and she was worried that she would be recognized. But at this point, she had no choice.

In the inner room, the concubine hugged Liu Concubine, her face was full of love, and she coaxed patiently, and Liu Concubine finally stopped crying. Dou Yifang was on the side, and he was very relieved.

"What are you doing there, why don't you bring water quickly." Mama reprimanded.

Dou Yifang nodded, lowered his head and walked over, placing the wooden basin on the table.

"You're new here?" Mama finally noticed Dou Yifang.

Dou Yifang was shocked and nodded. I was only worried that the concubine would also notice her, but the concubine's attention over there was on Concubine Liu.

"Be quick in the future." Said silently.

Dou Yifang nodded in response, the concubine suddenly felt that this voice was familiar, she glanced at Dou Yifang, didn't say anything, and continued to coax Liu to go.

Dou Yifang peeked at Liu Yan and smiled......

The night gradually deepened, Liu Concubine fell asleep, and the concubine was tired. She didn't let the nurse take the baby back, but stayed with her.

Dou Yifang calmed down his complicated mood, left the main hall with a wooden basin, and then left Fengyi Palace.

Next she is going to find someone - the palace maid Xiaolu. As Qin Yilian's handmaid, Xiao Lu should know something about Qin Yilian's death.

In order to find out where Xiao Lu is now, Dou Yifang went to Yunxiu Palace, where most of the palace maids lived.

In Yunxiu Palace, there were still some palace maids who didn't fall asleep and chatted babblingly. The footsteps of Dou Yifang startled them, and they only thought that Dou Yifang was a deacon who patrolled the night, and immediately closed their mouths and quieted down.

Dou Yifang pushed open the door and asked, "Where is Xiao Lu?" ”

The more daring of the palace maids replied, "We don't know who Xiao Midori is......"

"It's okay, rest when it's time to rest, don't talk so much!" Dou Yifang said in a warning tone, "There are some things that can't be said, understand?" ”

The palace maids said: "The slave maid understands......"

Walking out of this room, Dou Yifang went to ask elsewhere. Because not everyone knew Xiao Lu, she asked several rooms before getting the result.

"Xiao Lu, she is so lucky, now she is with Mrs. Han......"

Xiao Lu's fate is the same as that of Shuying, since Qin Yilian's accident, she was received by Mrs. Han in the Minglan Palace. The main purpose is to prevent Midori from talking nonsense outside.

However, unlike Shuying, Xiao Lu is very respected in Minglan Palace, and his status is only below Qingyun.

Dou Yifang is familiar with the road to Minglan Palace, but it is not easy to enter at this time. She waited outside the door, waiting for her chance.

Eventually, one of the guards got up and went out of the night, and it would be easier to deal with only one guard left. Dou Yifang walked out of the shadows.

"Who?" The guard asked.

Dou Yifang pretended to be anxious and walked up, "This big brother, can you let me meet my sister, I have something urgent to find her!" ”

"Who is your sister?"

"Midori."

"But now ......"

Dou Yifang took out a pair of earrings and handed them to the guard, "Please do me a favor." ”

The guard, fearing that his companion would be no good when he returned, agreed, "If she sleeps, I can't help it." ”

"Hmm."

Midori didn't sleep, and she had nightmares almost every night since she had withdrawn her master from the well with her own hands.

In the past, you could rely on the effect of soothing tea to get a good night's sleep, but now you can't sleep until late at night.

When the guards saw that the light in her room was still on, they told her that someone was looking for her. Xiao Lu was also curious, so she got up and dressed and went out to meet her. When I came to the door, Dou Yi's room was gone.

After looking around, I saw Dou Yifang standing not far away, waiting, the guard pointed out to Xiao Lu, and Xiao Lu walked up.

"Who are you? I don't seem to know you! ...... "Little Greenway."

"You really don't know?" Dou Yifang slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and his smile was a little weird.

Listening to the voice, it felt familiar, and after a closer look, Xiao Lu broke out in a cold sweat, "Dou ......"

"Don't make a sound, or ......" Dou Yifang quietly flashed his dagger.

"The master's business is none of my business......" Xiao Lu thought that Dou Yifang was here to avenge Qin Yilian, so he said so.

"Then who killed Yilian?"

Little Green looked uneasy and didn't dare to speak.

"Isn't it Mrs. Han?"

Midori hung her head, full of guilt.

At this moment, Qingyun walked out. It turned out that Xiao Lu's every move was all under surveillance, and as soon as she left the room and walked out of Minglan Palace, it was like reporting to Qingyun.

She saw Midori and another palace maid in the shadows, but she didn't make a sound, but walked over gently.

Dou Yifang also saw her, so he said to Xiao Lu: "For your safety, don't let me come." With that, he turned around and walked away quickly.

"Midori, what are you doing?" Qingyun walked up quickly, but Dou Yifang's figure had disappeared into the night.

Xiao Lu was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "It's a sister from my hometown, she is short of money and came to me to borrow money." ”

"Yes, you still have friends in the palace, introduce me to you another day."

Midori regretted this excuse a little, but now she could only agree to it.

"It's not too early, let's go back and rest early! ……”

"Yes."

……

Separated from Xiao Lu, Dou Yifang returned to Qingxuan Palace.

On the way, she has been thinking about Xiao Lu, judging from the current situation, Qin Yilian must have been killed, and this murderer is likely to be Mrs. Han.

Midori showed guilt when she spoke to her, maybe she knew the truth. But I'm afraid it's not easy for her to speak, after all, there is no one in the palace who can compete with Mrs. Han now.

In order to protect herself, Xiao Lu can only keep this secret.

However, with Dou Yifang's understanding of Mrs. Han, she may not be able to tolerate Xiao Lu after all, because only dead people can't speak.

"Who?"

Dou Yifang was taken aback and quickly hid in the flowers next to him.

Two palace people came over with lanterns.

"Strange, I saw a person just now......"

"I think you're dazzled! ……”

……

They gradually walked away, and Dou Yifang breathed a sigh of relief in the flowers. I was so engrossed in things just now that I didn't pay attention to my surroundings.

"Let's go back first......"

The night deepened, the sky was overcast, the wind began to rage, and it seemed that a heavy rain would soon fall.

Dou Yifang quickened her pace, she didn't want to be drenched in soup.

After working for most of the night, Dou Yifang finally returned to Qingxuan Palace in the rain.

At this time, the banquet was over, everyone had returned, drunk and fell asleep, and fell asleep.

Dou Yifang hadn't figured out how to explain tonight's situation to He Shu, and he was a little happy to learn that He Shu was drunk.

Just sat down and was about to drink a glass of water, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who?" Dou Yifang asked.

"It's me!" Zhao Xuan replied.

"Wait!" Dou Yifang is still dressed as a daughter, although Zhao Xuan already knows that she is a woman. But she didn't want to show herself as a daughter yet.

After changing into men's clothes, Dou Yifang opened the door, and instantly smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

"How much wine have you drunk?" Dou Yifang asked with a little disgust.

"Are you going to sleep? Zhao Xuan said, "Can you come in and sit down?" ”

"Are you okay?" Dou Yifang was worried that he would get drunk in her room, which would be difficult to handle.

"Do you think I'm in trouble?"

Zhao Xuan was indeed standing very steadily, and Dou Yifang let him in.

Closing the door, the two sat down next to the coffee table. Because the smell of alcohol in the room was a little heavy, Dou Yifang opened the window again to let the wind in.

Zhao Xuan looked out of the window and said lightly: "You say, will it rain this time?" ”
