Chapter 401
Gu Wanli picked up Zhuang Mengdie, and was relieved to see that she could barely see any difference between her demeanor and usual except for her red eyes. Zhuang Mengdie is still the original Zhuang Mengdie, her master, who has experienced so much suffering, it is impossible for her to fall so easily.
"Master, the slave and maid will go and get you your clothes, and then re-groom. Seeing that Zhuang Mengdie's mood was much better, Gu Wanli saw that Zhuang Mengdie's hair was already a little scattered, and her coat was also wet with tears, thinking that a person who is as particular as Zhuang Mengdie on weekdays, even if she is grounded now, she should not be so undignified.
"Gu Wanli, do you want me to drive you away again? Say that there are no outsiders, you don't need slaves and maids, long slaves and maids, and you can't change your mouth, can't you? Be careful that I make you dumb. Zhuang Mengdie feigned anger, but her sunken face couldn't hold back after a while, and she laughed.
"The master's lesson is that when Xiaogu finishes serving the master's change of clothes and makeup, the master will order Xiaogu's dumb hole, but the master is bored and panicked, but no one talks to the master to relieve the boredom. Gu Wanli smiled mischievously, and after speaking, he couldn't Zhuang Mengdie's attack, so he quickly went to prepare clothes.
After changing clothes and dressing up, Zhuang Mengdie looked at the closed door, suddenly showed a sly smile, winked at Gu Wanli, and beckoned her to possess the divine body.
"Xiao Gu, do you guess if the guards guarding outside the courtyard are smart people?" Zhuang Mengdie's words were a little naughty, like a child about to play tricks on people. Gu Wanli sighed secretly in his heart: The master must have been influenced by the naughty eldest child Second Highness these days, it seems that some of the guards outside the door have suffered.
Gu Wanli shook his head blankly, and said to Zhuang Mengdie: "Master, those guards are unsympathetic, just like a few pieces of wood. ”
Zhuang Mengdie smiled meaningfully, lowered her voice and said to Gu Wanli: "Try it and you will know that those guards are not smart......"
When it was time for dinner, the dining room sent someone to Gu Wanli to determine the recipe for the dinner of the Third Highness, even if Zhuang Mengdie has been placed under house arrest now, but she is also a master, and these subordinates naturally dare not slack off on her in terms of meals.
The guards guarding the gate of Zhuang Mengdie's courtyard conducted a strict search of the subordinates sent by the dining room to deliver the recipes, and after making sure that he did not carry any letters, letters, and other things that should not be there, they gave him a way and allowed him to knock on the courtyard door of Zhuang Mengdie's residence.
Gu Wanli had been bored in the room for a long time, but when he heard the knock on the door, he knew that this point was to ask about the dinner menu, but he still let the people outside the door knock a dozen times, so he shouted unhurriedly: "Coming, coming, what's the hurry!"
Slowly opened the door, Gu Wanli and the subordinate talked for a long time, and finally the two decided to go to the dining room together to see the ingredients. The four guards naturally wouldn't embarrass Gu Wanli and didn't allow her to enter or leave, after all, it was the Third Highness Zhuang Mengdie who was placed under house arrest by King Tianxuan, not Gu Wanli.
After a routine search, Gu Wanli hurried to the direction of the dining room with the subordinate from the dining room. Maybe the two of them left in a hurry, and they didn't close the courtyard door of Zhuang Mengdie's residence, so it was wide open.
The four guards couldn't help but look at each other, looking at the wide open courtyard gate, they all felt strange, the master's residence was allowed to enter without permission, and the servants of the three highnesses left like this, and they didn't even close the door?
Thinking of the fact that when the servants of the dining room came to knock on the door, the maids and maids of the Third Highness hesitated for a long time before opening the door, and one of the guards walked to the courtyard gate and stretched out his head to probe in, the courtyard was really too quiet.
The other three guards also sensed that something was wrong, and after quickly exchanging glances with each other, they immediately rushed into the courtyard, and they didn't care about any dignity and etiquette, so they pushed open the door of Zhuang Mengdie's bedroom and searched around.
After searching inside and out, the Third Highness was long gone, and the huge bedroom was empty, the door was closed, but the window was wide open.
The Third Highness fled!!
When they realized such a situation, the four guards were suddenly frightened, King Tianxuan had specially instructed them to take care of the Third Highness, but now it has only been a few hours, and the Third Highness has disappeared under their noses, if this is known to King Tianxuan, it will be worth it!
The leading guard hurriedly whistled with his fingers, and after sending out the signal, several people who were secretly lurking around Zhuang Mengdie's residence also hurriedly rushed into the house, and they were also dumbfounded, obviously they had never seen the Third Highness leave, but this courtyard was indeed empty inside and out, how could this be possible?!
The gate of the courtyard was guarded by four guards, and there were a few people secretly watching outside the courtyard, but they didn't see the three highnesses leave the courtyard gate at all, nor did they go out from the backyard over the wall, but how could the three highnesses say that they were gone?
I couldn't think of a reason anymore, the leading guard's face turned white with fright, but fortunately, no one else was so flustered, and hurriedly ordered: "Quick, a few of you will act separately, let the brothers guarding outside the palace guard every exit, and ask them if they have seen any suspicious people entering and leaving!"
"Yes!" After the leading guard gave the order, everyone responded in unison, and then rushed out of the courtyard like a swarm of bees and went outside the palace.
All the guards thought that Zhuang Mengdie had fled, and the courtyard where Zhuang Mengdie lived was not even left to be guarded, and they all went out to find the palace.
After a while, Zhuang Mengdie, who was standing on the beam of the house with a restrained breath, turned over, looked at the wide open courtyard door and shook his head with a chuckle, and secretly mocked in his heart: Such a group of stupid people must be really stupid enough.
Calmly smoothed the hem of her sleeves, Zhuang Mengdie walked out of the courtyard leisurely, all the way to the direction of the dining room, instead of being bored, it was better to go to the dining room to see what dishes Gu Wanli had instructed the cook to prepare for her.
Presumably it is what she likes to eat on weekdays, in the past, she ordered people to prepare according to Zhuang Feiyu's preferences, but now that Zhuang Feiyu is gone, Gu Wanli is afraid that she will not let the chef in the dining room make any more dishes, Xu is afraid that she will see things and think about people, and lose the interest in dinner.
The guards searched near the palace for a while, but they didn't see Zhuang Mengdie's figure, and they heard that the guards guarding outside the palace insisted that they hadn't seen His Royal Highness leave, and there were no suspicious people entering or leaving, so they rushed into the palace again, looking for it inside and out.
In the end, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, because the Third Highness they were looking for was in the hall, leisurely eating dinner, and looking at her like this, it was true that she had never left the palace.
