After hearing this, Xiao Lun's eyes lit up, he heaved a sigh of relief and chuckled, revealing a row of white teeth: "I'll wait for you. Five days later, I'll be waiting for you at the Shili Pavilion outside the city."
Zhao Pei was unsure and had already started to think about how to slip out. Xiao Lun said nothing more, just smiled and walked away. Zhao Pei opened her mouth to call him back, but gave up after a while.
When Xiao Yuyao left, she dismissed all the servants and palace maids. Now she was alone wandering in the maze-like garden, regretting that she should have called Xiao Lun to take her out.
Walking casually, I saw a palace buried deep in the flowers and grass. I thought it should be the side hall of Le'an Palace. Just as I was thinking, I saw Xiao Yuyao's shadow flash into the house quickly. She walked over slowly with her skirt lifted without saying a word.
There was obviously someone in the house, and there was a faint sound of laughter. Zhao Pei stopped at the door, and her hand froze when she wanted to knock on the door. Then she heard someone talking, and the voice was a little hoarse. Zhao Pei knew who this person was as soon as she heard it. She was confused and at a loss again.
Driven by curiosity, she saw that no one was listening to the whispers. Zhao Pei had already made a mistake, and now it was a bigger mistake.
"Is everything ready?" Xiao Hong's voice.
"Everything is ready, just waiting for nightfall." Xiao Yuyao said, and then she was silent for a long time, and then she said: "But Xuanda, I'm afraid. He is my father after all. Will I..."
Xiao Hong interrupted her and said, "He is also my brother. Yao'er, but we have to do this. For our future, I want you to be my queen!"
Queen! Thunderstrike! Zhao Pei was secretly shocked, her heartbeat almost jumping out of her throat. It was like an illusion, she couldn't believe it, and continued to lie at the door and listen.
"Xuan Da...let's make a bet. I'll accompany you whether you win or lose. I've asked those two people to disguise themselves as palace maids, and when it's time for dinner, they can..." Zhao Pei's breathing became more and more rapid, and she didn't dare to listen any more.
She was already surprised that the thirty-year-old Xiao Yuyao was getting together with her sixth uncle who was in his fifties, but she didn't expect that they were going to assassinate the emperor and usurp power!
She stopped listening to the tiny sounds in the room and turned around in a panic, shaking and cold. Zhao Pei had only one thought in her mind: to tell the emperor as soon as possible! But where was this? Zhao Pei felt like crying but had no tears.
Lifting her skirt, she walked around the red column and turned the corner. She had to leave here first and find someone she knew. After turning the corner, she was stunned. What is misfortune never comes alone? She actually met Xiao Yuyao's people here.
She had seen this man before. He was the boy who played "Drunkard" that day. He stared at her frightened face silently, as if thinking about something. Zhao Pei looked at him in horror, panting uncontrollably, and repeatedly looked back, trying to find a way to get away.
She smiled at him, then turned and ran. Although the child was only eight or nine years old, he was very strong and held her arm tightly. Zhao Pei's last bit of luck collapsed in an instant, and when she turned around, tears were already falling. In the end, she would be defeated by an eight or nine-year-old child
He gradually loosened his hand and looked at her silently. He slowly raised his right hand and pointed his index finger at a moon-shaped door on their right. Zhao Pei was stunned and did not understand what he meant. He then said, "From here, you can go out of Le'an Hall and onto the pedestrian street." His voice was childish, but calm. "Trust me."
Zhao Pei looked at his slightly sea-blue eyes in surprise, and subconsciously decided to believe him. She nodded slightly and ran in the direction he pointed. When she passed through the moon gate, she turned around and looked, but she could no longer see the child. (To be continued)
