"Now there is only one person who can help us. If we lose this opportunity, do you think we will still have a chance to get out?" Hua Ye said again.
The blush on Qinghuan's face faded after hearing this.
The two of them put a lot of thought into this trip. Yuchun and Yuxiu had already been confirmed, and there were three more to be chosen from the maids.
The two of them got this opportunity by giving away a pair of earrings that they had saved with great difficulty.
Next time, how much more will they have to give away
The two men had no reason to linger in the British palace, so they went there just to escape.
The King of England is in the Palace, and no one else would disturb him for the sake of two maids. As for the Princess of England, she is almost dying of illness, so how can she take care of them
Besides, the two of them were just ordinary maids, not the personal maids of the Princess of England. If they were missing, they were gone. We couldn't mobilize the guards who were protecting the Princess of England to go out and look for them.
This is also an important reason why the two people dared to do this.
Since they knew that this was their only chance and the person over there might be the only one who could save them, the two of them said nothing more. They found a concave place to throw the bamboo basket in their hands, and then threw up some dead leaves and dead bamboos that had been picked from the corners of the bamboo forest to block it.
The two of them looked in the right direction and headed over.
They were not reckless and did not go directly through the central axis. Even though His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not here, they could not move around here casually.
There were guards blocking the way when I entered the door just now, which shows that there are other guards inside. If I don't want to be discovered, the best way is to go around them.
Although the road is longer, it is also much safer.
Along the way, the two of them were extremely careful. If they heard footsteps or a person approaching, they would hide.
There was nothing else in the hot spring villa, but there were still quite a lot of trees. The two people were extremely careful and would rather have heard it wrong than let it go, and they actually let them walk to that yard.
This is also because Pei Luoan is not in the manor, and even if there are guards in the manor, there are not many.
Although the guards at the door were very strict, the situation inside was not so strict.
From time to time, a few old women walked by. Once, they couldn't avoid it and bumped into one of them. The two maids simply ignored everything and walked past with their heads held high. The old woman stopped and looked back at them, but ultimately didn't have the courage to step forward to stop her.
Maybe they thought they were sent by the Eastern Palace to give orders, so they let them go so brazenly.
That yard was really not big. It looked small from a distance. Now it looked not only small but also a bit dilapidated. It really looked like the yard where they lived in the British palace.
This place doesn't look like there is a hot spring. It should be a miscellaneous yard without a hot spring, right? Even if there is a concubine of the prince here, she is the least favored one. It is really not something to look forward to.
"Is there really someone here?" Qinghuan also began to doubt at this time. She wondered if she had seen it wrong.
"Let's go in and take a look first!" Hua Ye glanced at her and said in a low voice, "Didn't you say you saw it? Why are you still saying that now?"
"Maybe I saw it wrong." Qing Huan said unconfidently, stretching out his hand to pull Hua Ye, "What if I saw it wrong?"
"What should I do? What should I do? Then I will hide here, not go out, and never go back to the Prince of England's Palace." Hua Ye gritted her teeth. Now that she was out, she would not go back.
go back.
I would never go back even if I die.
There is no chance for them to succeed in the British royal palace.
"They won't make a big fuss over two maids."
"What if...what if Princess England insists on looking for us?" Qinghuan was still uneasy.
"She can't even take care of herself now, how can she send people to find us." Hua Ye sneered disapprovingly. She dared to act only because she was sure of this. If the Princess of England was really fine, she might not dare to be so determined.
“But we were given by the Queen Mother. If we disappear, she… will be in big trouble, right?” Qinghuan still felt a little worried.
"What are you afraid of? If you are afraid, you can stay." Hua Ye pushed her unhappily, almost pushing Qing Huan to the ground, "We were given by the Queen Mother, but who in the Prince of Ying's Palace takes us seriously? The most important thing is that the Queen Mother also abandoned us, otherwise we would not have lived like this in the Prince of Ying's Palace during this period of time."
Qinghuan stood still by holding onto a tree and nodded heavily. Indeed, they had to run.
"Then let's go in?" She looked at the flowers and leaves again.
Hua Ye gritted her teeth. Although she was also panicking, panicking would not solve the problem at this point. She had to run even if she didn't want to. She just hoped that the person inside could really help them.
"Go in!"
She nodded heavily.
The two of them stepped forward together. Qinghuan looked at Huaye again, and Huaye gestured to her, "Just do as we discussed."
Just now, the two of them had already discussed what to say to whomever they saw along the way.
Qinghuan mustered up the courage to go forward and knocked on the door, but it didn't open.
"A little harder." Hua Ye whispered.
This time, Qing Huan knocked on the door with his fist, punching it hard and saying, "Open the door!"
The door was a bit dilapidated. After they hit it twice, it shook a bit. Then they punched it again, and they became less and less confident as they hit it more.
This place doesn't look like a proper master's place at all.
Seeing no response from the other side of the door, Hua Ye became anxious and came over to knock on the door.
The two maids knocked one after another, and finally heard a response from inside, "It's coming, it's coming, who is knocking so hard, aren't you afraid of breaking our door?"
The voice became sharper.
Upon hearing the voice, the two maids looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but smile. It was a eunuch. Only a eunuch's voice would be so shrill.
The two were used to hearing shrill voices in the palace.
The presence of eunuchs in this courtyard means there is a master!
The two waited at the door in surprise. When the door opened, a eunuch was standing inside. He saw the two maids, looked them up and down, and asked, "Who are you?"
The two maids were also looking at him, and when they heard him ask, they blew him up: "We were sent by the East Palace."
"Sent by the Eastern Palace?" The eunuch's face turned cold and his eyes became gloomy.
"It was the master who ordered us to come here. Let us serve the one inside." Qinghuan stretched out his hand and pointed inside, saying tentatively.
"Serve the one inside?" the eunuch asked in a cold voice, his eyes swept over the two maids with a chilling look, and Qinghuan couldn't help but take a step back.
I was frightened.
Hua Ye made up his mind. Even though he was afraid, he could only do this: "We are really sent by the East Palace. If you don't believe us, let us meet the one inside."
"The one inside?" The eunuch looked at them coldly, as if he could only repeat himself. "Are you two looking for death? Did the prince send you here? What are you doing here? Looking for death."
As he spoke, he took two steps forward, pressed his fingers twice, and had a mocking look on his face.
"I...we..." Qinghuan was so nervous that he couldn't speak.
"We were sent by the palace, but not the East Palace. We were sent by the Queen Mother." Hua Ye said hurriedly when he saw that the situation was not good.
"Sent by the Queen?" The eunuch looked at the two people without comment.
Qinghuan was so nervous that sweat broke out on his back and he could only look at Huaye on the side.
Hua Ye was relatively calm, knowing that things were not as he had imagined, so he used another explanation that they had discussed before: "We were sent to the Prince of England's Palace by the Queen Mother, and now we have important matters to report. We just escaped from the hot spring villa in the Prince of England's Palace."
"Yes, yes, we escaped here to deliver the message. We finally managed to get rid of the people from the King of England's Palace." Qinghuan nodded repeatedly, his face pale with fright.
"What news?" The eunuch frowned at them in disbelief, but did not chase them away.
This means there has been a slight improvement.
Hua Ye said first: "The Queen sent us to serve the Princess of England, mainly to keep an eye on her. We got some information from the Prince of England's Palace before, but the people in the Prince of England's Palace were keeping a close eye on us, so we never had a chance. We just got the chance. That's the Prince of England's Palace's hot spring villa, and we two followed the Princess of England here."
"The Princess of England is not feeling well and she missed the bamboo shoots in this bamboo forest. We were sent here to dig them. They may have discovered that we are missing and will come looking for us soon. Eunuch, what should we do now? If the people in the Prince of England's Palace find that you are with us, you will definitely be implicated."
Hua Ye looked anxiously towards the bamboo forest, as if he was afraid that people from the British Palace would catch up with him.
After hearing what they said and looking at their situations, the eunuch began to believe it a little. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the bamboo forest. If they were really the Queen's men, he really couldn't just ignore them.
"You two... come in with me." The eunuch retracted his gaze and looked at the two outstanding maids, and decided to keep them for the time being.
"Thank you, father-in-law."
"Thank you, father-in-law." The two were very excited and expressed their gratitude profusely.
The eunuch let them in, closed the courtyard gate, and took them to the room on the far right. When they opened the door, they smelled a musty smell. It was obvious that no one had lived in this room for a long time, and it was not known whether it could still be lived in.
"You stay here first, I'll go check it out. If it's not... you'll have to keep your lives." The eunuch said grimly.
"Yes... Eunuch, just go and check. We were sent by the Queen to Princess Ying. Now we can't escape with great difficulty. If you want to confront, please confront the people around the Queen. The people around the Queen know us." The two maids said hurriedly, fearing that it would cause misunderstanding.
The two of them had finally escaped and saw hope, but they didn't want to die here at the last moment.
"Does everyone around the Queen know you?" The eunuch rolled his eyes at them and suddenly looked strange.
"Yes... Yes, I know them all, I know them all." The two maids just wanted to survive, so they agreed to whatever the eunuch said first. As for whether they knew him or not, most of them knew him...
"Okay, then let's find someone to identify him." The eunuch laughed, and it sounded like he was getting creepy.
