The outside of the Suping Palace's palace was heavily guarded, but with Tuoba Fei'er, Liu Yunxiang still entered smoothly.

Entering the backyard, the servants passing by all saluted Tuoba Fei'er. Liu Yunxiang put on a veil and followed behind with his head down as much as possible.

"Princess, the prince instructed, after you return to the house, you will personally send back the gifts sent by the Zhenguo Mansion two days ago." It was Danqing who came forward to report that he had returned from the northwest.

Liu Yunxiang's heart jumped suddenly, and she tried her best to hide behind Tuoba Fei'er, hoping that Danqing would not notice her.

Tuoba Fei'er raised her eyebrows, "Since your prince gained power, there have been gifts every day, but they are just sent back as they are, when will I need to send them in person?" ”

"In the end, this Zhenguo Mansion is the head of the family, and it still has to give some face, but what they ask for, the prince really can't do it, in order to appease them, the prince wants the princess to return the gift." Danqing explained.

Tuoba Fei'er pouted and was about to refuse, but seeing Danqing start to look at Liu Yunxiang behind her, she hurriedly responded, and then walked to the backyard.

kept turning the corner, leaving Danqing's sight, Tuoba Fei'er breathed a sigh of relief.

"I don't know if he had any suspicions just now."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, he didn't expect to bump into Danqing as soon as he entered, "If there is any suspicion, he will stop us, let's not scare ourselves first." ”

Tuoba Fei'er nodded, "Yes." ”

In the western courtyard where Tuoba Fei'er lives, there are not many servants, and all of them were brought by her from Xiyue, "Sister Yunxiang, don't worry, they are very tight-mouthed and won't say anything." ”

"These people are only afraid of the eyeliner of the King of Xiyue." Liu Yunxiang said.

"Don't worry, my second brother has already made arrangements, and the people I brought out have been replaced halfway through and replaced by his people."

"The acting king is thoughtful, and he really loves you."

Tuoba Fei'er thought of the second brother, and couldn't help but worry, "Our Xiyue is the eldest son on the throne, but the second brother is the most liked by his father, so he has been jealous of the eldest brother since he was a child." My second brother and I are not the same mother and he are compatriots, and the second brother went to do business a few years ago for the sake of brotherly harmony, and rarely returned to Beijing, so angry that his father almost broke off relations with him. But Rao is like this, after the eldest brother ascended the throne, he still didn't worry about the second brother, summoned him back to Beijing, and then tied him up in the court. ”

This time, the second brother helped the king of Zhenbei to make military exploits in the Lingnan War, showing his outstanding talent, and the eldest brother was even more uneasy, so he casually found an excuse to lock him up. The eldest brother will not let the second brother go, and I must rescue him as soon as possible. ”

Liu Yunxiang patted Tuoba Fei'er on the shoulder, "The acting king is extremely resourceful, Xu has already made plans for himself, you don't have to worry too much." ”

"No matter how powerful he is, he can't beat my eldest brother's ruthlessness." Tuoba Fei'er sighed, "Now the only one who can talk to my eldest brother is Lu Changan, no, I still have to beg him." ”

After lunch, Tuoba Fei'er begged him to save his second brother in order to please Lu Chang'an, so he took Danqing to the Zhenguo Mansion to return the gift, regardless of the fatigue of returning home.

Liu Yunxiang was not idle, she tried her best to avoid people walking in the backyard, and reflected the layout of the backyard in her mind. When I walked to the front of the east courtyard, I saw that there were heavily guarded, and there were more than a dozen people with spears in their hands.

She circled in both directions, and there were guards on both sides, not to mention people, mosquitoes couldn't fly in.

is so tight, Mrs. Xiao's mother and son may be in the East Courtyard. But she had to make sure, and it was best to get in touch with them.

Just when Liu Yunxiang was worried about how to get in, a middle-aged woman wearing a crimson cotton skirt came out with a basket, walked to the door, and said to the guard guarding the door: "That lady is very sick, she has been coughing non-stop, you tell the prince, it's better to find a doctor to take a look, otherwise it will ......."

At this point the woman sighed, there were some things that she was not supposed to say, so she said only halfway, "Oh, by the way, she has no appetite and wants to eat some light rice porridge." ”

The guard guarding the door said, "You only need to deliver food, don't worry about anything else." ”

The woman did not dare to say anything more, but took the basket and departed.

Liu Yunxiang hid behind a tree, turned his mind around, and went in the direction of the kitchen.

About half an hour later, she changed her clothes and walked towards the east courtyard gate with a basket. As soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by the guards guarding the door.

"Aunt Liu asked me to send a bowl of white porridge to the lady inside." Liu Yunxiang lowered his head and said.

The guard looked at Liu Yunxiang, "What about Aunt Liu?" ”

"She had a stomachache and was in a hurry to go to the hut, so she asked the slave to send it."

"I just told Aunt Liu, let her stop meddling, the meal has been delivered, and it has nothing to do with her whether the people inside eat it or not."

Aunt Liu said that the lady inside was sick, and if she didn't eat something, she was afraid that she would not be able to endure it even more. In case one person dies, ahem, you can't explain it to the prince. ”

Mrs. Xiao's mother and son are still useful, and Lu Changan will not think about them dying.

The guard was also a little hesitant when he heard this, but he didn't dare to make up his own mind, so he discussed it with the guard next to him.

"The prince ordered us to keep an eye on the people inside, but I didn't say whether it was the living or the dead, we were obedient and did things, don't figure it out by ourselves, and don't make decisions randomly."

At this time, an older guard came over, and after saying this, he went to look at Liu Yunxiang again.

"Which yard maid are you?"

Liu Yunxiang pursed his lips and said, "The slave maid is from the West Courtyard." ”

"Why are you wearing a veil?"

"I'm getting a rash, I'm afraid of the wind."

"The West Courtyard is all from Xiyue, do you speak the native dialect of Xiyue?"

Liu Yunxiang said: "Yes, it's just that the princess asked us all to speak the Central Plains." ”

Her sentence is the local dialect of Xiyue, and she sent the eighth girl to kiss before, and she deliberately learned it in the northwest.

Hearing this, the guard no longer doubted.

"Send it back in the evening, remember, let Aunt Liu send it personally, except for her, no one else can enter this hospital."

The guard's words were already dead, and Liu Yunxiang couldn't be entangled anymore, so he walked outside with the basket at the moment. Mrs. Xiao seems to be sick, and she is not lightly ill, but the guards here are too strict, how can she get in.

Liu Yunxiang went around and hid behind a tree again, observing the situation over there.

In the evening, the cook brought food in again, and because of the change of guards, she went to deliver white porridge in the afternoon. The cook came out after a while, and still said that the lady inside was very sick, and asked them to pass on a message to the prince.

Liu Yunxiang thought for a moment, and hurriedly went in the direction where the cook left.

The cook seemed to be very kind, and perhaps she could ask her for help. It's just that he just walked to the porch, and he collided with Lu Changan, who came back from outside.

Liu Yunxiang's heart jumped suddenly, and she hurriedly turned around and went down the porch, but at this time, the wind blew and blew the veil off her face.

She didn't care to pick it up, she was about to run.

"Stop!"

Lu Changan shouted.
