Xia Chu was already familiar with the road to Yufu Palace.
In his previous life, before Xiao Yanjun moved to the East Palace, he stayed in the side hall of Yufu Palace. At that time, he would go into the palace every day to look for him. Not only did he know the roads around him, he even knew the quiet path behind the rockery. It was also accidentally discovered by Xia Chu in his previous life.
When chatting with the emperor just now, Xia Chu pretended to accidentally find out who was on duty today.
At this moment, he was wearing night clothes, and his face was covered with the black scarf that Ai Yang, the maid in the Yulian Palace, said was going to cover Xiao Muhong's eyes for hide-and-seek purposes.
He skillfully avoided the patrols, climbed over the walls, jumped over the ridges, and came directly to the outside of Concubine Li's bedroom.
Xia Chu originally planned to nail the letter directly from the window, but he estimated that there was still some time. Since he was already here, he might as well eavesdrop in a corner.
As soon as he thought about this, he climbed up to the glazed tiles on the roof of the dormitory with a strong body, and carefully opened a piece of tile cover. Two female figures were reflected underneath. One of them was known to be Concubine Li at a glance, while the figure of the other was. The shape looked very familiar to Xia Chu.
The conversation below reached his ears.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty King Yu, this move is very good. Now every stake in our hands is extremely deadly. Although some of them are not fully grasped yet, they are enough to close the net."
The voice sounded unfamiliar to Xia Chu. He had never heard it before, but he had clearly seen that figure before.
"Who!" A voice shouted.
Xia Chu's eyes turned and he opened another tile loudly and deliberately.
Sure enough, the two women downstairs looked towards the roof at the same time, and Xia Chu finally saw the other woman's face clearly.
That is, Chen Rongrong!
He didn't have time to think about anything else, threw the letter down and retreated.
The secret guard who had just scolded him also drew his sword and chased after him. Xia Chu was shocked that there were secret guards in the harem. Even if Xiao Yanjun entered the palace, the secret guards should consciously stay outside the palace and wait. The secret guards in Yufu Palace Wei, where did you come from
Although he was shocked, he was not panicked. He used about 60% of his strength to try the secret guard's skills. Unexpectedly, the man caught up with him a moment later.
You must know that Xia Chu's Qing Kung Fu took six points, and the man could catch up in a moment. This martial arts was at least not any weaker than Han Sa's.
Xia Chu added two more points. The man was struggling to catch up. He threw a star dart in his hand, but the speed increased slowly and it gradually fell.
Xia Chu was shocked that this man's skills were almost as good as Bian Ding's, but Bian Ding had been trained over many times by Du Ya. Where could such a master come from around Li Fei
No wonder the Yufu Palace never sets up any defenses. It turns out there is no need for it at all!
Xia Chu stopped teasing him and used all his strength to throw him away in a moment, flying straight back to Yongxin Palace and landing behind the chair in the pavilion.
"Ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred! Brother Chu, I'm here to find you!" Xiao Muhong finally finished counting and happily searched for places to hide.
Xia Chu leaned back on the chair and held his chest, panting. It was not because he was tired, but because the amount of information that happened in these hundred sounds and lightning flashes was too large for his brain to digest.
For example, what is Xiao Yanjun's move? What are the piles of piles you are holding? Whose net is collected? Where did the secret guard come from
With so many thoughts going on for a while, Xia Chu held his forehead in pain, closed his eyes and pinched the center of his eyebrows.
"I found you. You've been hiding in such a bad place for so long!" Xiao Muhong grabbed his arm and said half happily and half complaining.
Xia Chu opened his eyes and pretended to be pulled up by her, with a doting smile on his face. He rubbed her head and said, "That's not to give Hong Hong a chance to reward her."
Xiao Muhong's eyes lit up, she threw herself into Xia Chu's arms and rubbed her head: "Brother Chu is so kind."
"What reward do you want?" Xia Chu hurriedly pushed away, not because he was afraid of Xiao Muhong's spring heart, but because it was already a bit difficult for him to have his breasts tied. If Xiao Muhong continued to do this, he might find that he shouldn't. He was called Brother Chu, but Sister Chu...
Xiao Muhong was not annoyed when he heard the word 'reward' and was pushed away by him. She rolled her eyes and said, "Take me out of the palace to play. It's been a long time since you took me out of the palace!"
Xia Chu's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately: "Okay, Tianyan Temple can be called a Chinese temple in Beijing. I will pick you up from the palace in five days to have a fun time."
Xiao Muhong cheered and said hello, and her personal maid Ai Yang came over and bowed: "Princess, dinner is ready."
Xiao Muhong tugged at the corner of Xia Chu's clothes, and the corners of her mouth drooped slightly, making a pitiful look: "Brother Chu, will you eat with me?"
Xia Chu laughed and said hello.
He originally planned to stay for a while to see if there was any large-scale manhunt in the Yufu Palace. If there was any, it meant that Concubine Li did not take the note he sent there seriously.
If not, I am afraid that in five days' time at Tianyan Temple, I will definitely see Concubine Li coming to pray for blessings.
Since concubines leaving the palace must be prepared and reported in advance, Xia Chu also considerately reserved five days.
After finishing the meal with Xiao Muhong, Xia Chu didn't hear anyone coming to report that there was an assassin in the palace. A sneer appeared on his lips. It seemed that Concubine Li really did not disappoint him.
Xia Chu rubbed Xiao Muhong's head and said goodbye to her. After thinking about it, she decided to go to Yongning Palace.
What Chen Rongrong said made him feel uneasy. He wouldn't feel relieved unless he asked Xiao Zimu himself whether everything was normal recently.
Xin Ya was very happy when he saw Xia Chu. Although he often sent letters to him and Xiao Zimu, Xia Chu had not been to Yongning Hall for a long time.
And Xiao Zimu hadn't smiled for a long time.
Ever since Xiao Zimu moved back from the inn in Mingxiangyuan, he has returned to his former cool and gentle appearance.
Although he has a warm smile every day, it seems that nothing in this world can make him worry, but Xin Ya knows that except for Xiao Houye, a close friend.
There was nothing in this world that could make him happy.
Therefore, Xin Ya saw Xia Chu coming to Yongning Hall today and happily led him into the hall and went straight to Xiao Zimu's study.
When he arrived at the door of the study, Xia Chu signaled that he didn't need to communicate, and Xin Ya retreated without hesitation.
The young master wanted to give His Highness a surprise, and he was delighted to hear it. With a smile on his lips, he waited beside him numbly.
Xia Chu opened the door and saw a familiar figure of Xin standing there, leaning over to paint.
He was dressed in a green robe, with candlelight flickering around him. Between his slightly frowning eyebrows, there was an air of aloofness and arrogance that could not be concealed. His eyes were cold and indifferent, flowing out like water and moonlight. He was extraordinary, aloof, and cold. And indifferent, as gentle as jade but light and clear.
Xiao Zimu heard the door being pushed open with a "squeak" and thought it was Xin Ya who walked in.
He didn't pause, frowned and asked, "What's the matter? You can't even knock on the door?"
