Yu Qingluo was surprised and hurriedly responded, asking in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Could it be that that guard was so bold that he dared to make Ye Xiudu look like this
Ye Xiu glanced at the children alone, then stopped and lowered his voice and said, "Just now Fan Pingyun came over and said that the third brother and the fourth brother secretly went to the seventh brother's mansion." Although he lowered his voice, his tone was still Very cold.
Yu Qingluo's heart skipped a beat. The third and fourth princes... formed an alliance with the seventh prince
Although the third and fourth princes are not really good candidates to compete for the crown prince position, they are also the kind of princes who are ambitious but have no strength. But even so, after all, they had been prepared to compete for that position. They had made many plans and had many people at their disposal.
Even if they are just a small force, if they are united with the Seventh Prince Meng Guifei, they are a force that cannot be underestimated.
Yu Qingluo's eyebrows were knotted. During the time they were away from the imperial capital, Concubine Meng and the Seventh Prince seemed not to be idle at all, and had done a lot of preparation work.
She took Ye Xiudu's hand and whispered, "The Seventh Prince's target has always been you, and now that they are united, I'm afraid they will also deal with you. Look, should you also find Prince Bao or... The Sixth Prince?"
Ye Xiu pursed his lips and shook his head after a while, "Sixth brother and I don't have a close friendship. Now my father's move is obviously pushing him out to be a target. I'm afraid both sixth brother and Concubine Min will think this is Father is paving the way for me, and they may already hate me in their hearts."
He said, paused, and then whispered, "Even if I don't hate him, with such a complicated relationship, I won't feel confident joining forces with him."
Yu Qingluo was a little confused when she thought about it.
It seems that the top priority is to bring down Concubine Meng first. Only if she falls will the alliance between the seventh prince and the third prince collapse.
Yes, the first thing is to find Concubine Meng's weakness. Without further ado, she must quickly go to the Yu Mansion to find out what Granny Ge said.
Yu Qingluo made up her mind, so early the next morning, when Ye Xiu entered the palace alone, she quietly went to Yu Mansion.
She had been to Yu Mansion several times and had figured out the route earlier, so it was no stranger to her.
It's just that she can't fly, so how to enter the Yu Mansion without anyone noticing is really a big problem. If possible, she could simply stun the gatekeeper, but she was afraid that this would cause unnecessary trouble.
Yu Qingluo stood under a big tree more than 20 meters away from the gate of Yu Mansion, holding her chin and entering into deep thought.
After staying for nearly two quarters of an hour, she could not think of a complete plan. After a pause, he had to go around to the back door again.
The back door was even more deserted and quiet, but there was nothing we could do.
After a moment of silence, she turned to the front door again. The next moment, she saw five or six children playing under the big tree where she was standing just now.
Yu Qingluo's eyes suddenly lit up, she took out a silk scarf from her sleeve and covered her face, then walked towards the children with a smile.
"...Sister, I have something to ask you for help with."
The children were stunned for a moment and looked at her with their heads tilted. Seeing that she had done nothing wrong, one of the older boys stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing?"
Yu Qingluo pointed to the door of Yu Mansion and said a few words in a low voice.
Then, he took out a handful of candies from his small bag and said, "I'll share this with you, and there are five copper coins for each person."
The children were immediately attracted by the delicate, small and tempting looking candy in her hand, and their eyes were filled with longing.
Yu Qingluo knew that they were all children from ordinary families. There were many brothers and sisters in the family, and it was not easy to buy snacks on weekdays.
She paused and took out all the candies in the small bag, as well as a few pieces of pastries and preserved fruits that Nan Nan had stored for her.
Those children agreed instantly, "Don't worry, sister, we will definitely complete the task."
Yu Qingluo touched their heads and said with a smile, "I'll trouble you, be careful."
Several people nodded and happily put all the things into their arms carefully.
Then, several older children found some stones, ran to the gate of Yu's mansion and started throwing them hard at the door.
After a while, the door of Yu's mansion opened, and a boy who looked like a concierge came out. He grinned at the children and cursed, "What are you doing, don't want to live anymore?"
"This is a bad person's home, a traitor's home, and we will fight against the traitor."
The oldest child shouted loudly, and several people threw stones at the door.
The boy's eyes suddenly widened, he stood in front of the door with a fierce look, pointed at them and said angrily, "You are talking nonsense, I won't be polite."
The children immediately dispersed with laughter.
The boy breathed a sigh of relief and entered the door again.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was closed, those children came back and threw stones at the door again.
The boy was so angry that he came out with gritted teeth, scolded them again, and pretended to beat them.
Several children dispersed in a hurry again.
After repeating this several times, the boy and the other concierge finally couldn't bear it any longer, so they leaned over and took the broom and chased him out.
Yu Qingluo's eyes flashed, seeing the open door and the empty gap, she quickly squeezed in sideways.
Then, he found a corner and hid it.
After a while, the two boys who chased him came back cursing.
"It's really unlucky. As long as they escape quickly, otherwise I will never be able to spare them."
"That's right, they are as flexible as a monkey and disappear in an instant. Don't be caught by me next time, otherwise I will have to skin them."
Yu Qingluo listened for a while and then breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the children were safe.
Only then did she focus all her attention on Yu's house, carefully looking for the unoccupied route step by step towards the yard where she once lived.
But the further she walked, the stranger she felt.
The outside of Yu's house looked deserted, as if Yu Zuolin was a little lonely, depressed and listless because he was arrested.
She thought that without the owner, the mansion would be in disarray and a bit chaotic.
But along the way, she found that not only did the servants act in an orderly manner, but they even seemed more organized than the last time she came here.
The flowers, plants and trees in the mansion are also very beautiful and beautiful, and everything is clean wherever they go. Even when the servants were walking and talking, their faces were as calm as spring breeze, and there was no feeling at all that a disaster was coming from heaven.
Something is wrong, very wrong.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster, and there is something fishy about the house.
