Chapter Thirteen: When to be Free(1/2)

Going to the cell with Li Lanlou left me with lingering fears. I was really afraid of bloody things. If I hadn't endured it all the way, I might have lost my composure in prison. In this case, Li Lanlou might look down on me even more.

It seems that I must practice my courage. After all, if I fail to complete this task and betray the Queen's trust, I don't know what punishment I will receive.

In fact, it's not like I haven't seen big scenes. In the previous life, Ye Wenyun's parents had a decent career, and they took Ye Wenyun to some places when she became an adult. After coming here, Ye Wenyun even looked at the jade.

Yue died of poison, but Ye Wenyun's heart was still not hard enough.

I was thinking about using behavioral psychology, thinking more about the picture, telling myself that it was not fear, and adjusting it slowly. I thought this was very good, and I wanted to give it a try.

However, not long after, Li Lanlou called me out of the palace again.

The Imperial City was originally a prosperous place, and now we are in a lively street market, surrounded by vendors selling all kinds of gadgets and food.

I followed Li Lanlou. Since I was out of the palace and dressed simply, at this moment, I felt quite like a maid. Well, my identity was back again.

"Has Miss Ye ever visited this place?"

"I am in the palace and rarely come out, so naturally I don't."

"That's such a pity. The scenery inside the palace is certainly good, but it would be a pity if you were in the imperial city and couldn't savor the lively fireworks here."

"Master Li, didn't you bring me here to taste it? I haven't thanked Master Li yet." Thank you for letting me be your follower.

Li Lanlou's attention was already attracted by something else. He bought two candy figures, handed one of them to me looking like a woman, and kept the other one for himself.

"Thank you, Mr. Li."

"Don't be so polite."

If he asked me to come out today, he wouldn't just come here to hang out, right? I've been practicing watching bloody things recently, so as not to embarrass me next time he takes me to prison.

"I wonder what happened when we came out today?"

"You'll know in a minute."

We crossed a whole street and came to a place where there were residents. He continued to walk forward, walking very fast. I had to walk fast to keep up with him.

Finally we stopped in front of an ordinary house. It was quite quiet and there was nothing strange about it.

I looked at him doubtfully.

He looked around to make sure no one was there and knocked on the door gently. The person who opened the door was a man in his thirties. He looked the same except that he was a little stronger. But when this man walked in front, I

Only then did I feel something was wrong.

When he walked, he didn't look like an ordinary person. He seemed to have been trained. He should be a member of the army, and this place should have been controlled by the army.

Walking further inside, there is a main room in the middle and a side room on the left and right. The man led us into the main room.

"Sit down." Li Lanlou seemed to be very familiar with this place.

"Where is this?"

"They will bring a few people later. That's what you need to see."

"Is there any progress?"

"Well, we found the fake official in the imperial city."

"These people are so brave, how dare they stand at the feet of the Emperor..."

Li Lanlou interrupted me, "If it weren't for this, we wouldn't have been able to find out so quickly." Does this person look down on me?

"Who should I see later?"

"They are the family members of the person who was replaced. The person who was replaced died, and they were also persecuted. By chance, they escaped into the city and were rescued by officers and soldiers. I placed them here."

"That's lucky, but you haven't said what we are here for today."

"It's for you to see."

"..." He understood.

"I know that you are His Majesty's eyes. You must see all this with your own eyes before you can trust me with such an important matter. Miss Ye, please."

three days ago

"Bless your Majesty."

"Wenyun, come here, come here and take a look at my newly painted bamboo."

"I don't know much about painting, but I only recognize that your majesty's bamboo is tall, beautiful and full of vitality."

"It doesn't matter if you can't understand it. Just remember what it looks like so that you can understand it when others talk about it."

"That's what His Majesty ordered."

"Some new bamboos have been planted in the palace recently. This bamboo grew very slowly when it was first planted, but when it was due to grow, it soared into the sky. Some people, I raise them as bamboos."

I am silent.

"However, I am still not sure whether the bamboo can really suit my wishes."

"Your Majesty, take a look at it and you will know whether it is to your liking."

"Why don't you go take a look for me!"

"That is my honor."

"Do a good job and I will reward you. Li Lanlou has a volatile temper, so be careful."

It is very obvious that I am here to monitor Li Lanlou. In the past month or so, the Queen has been training me. Even if Li Lanlou really treats me as a maid, it is not wrong.

What happened next was very boring. I was just like a bystander, watching them use various means to achieve the Queen's goal. Occasionally, when I got distracted, Li Lanlou would remind me that I wasn't monitoring carefully enough, as if

It's like I do things for him. Fortunately, he still cooperates with me.

In short, now I still don’t need to use my brain. The most important thing is to have a good eye.

I am quite content with this kind of work, but when I occasionally pass by Meng Lian Hall, I suddenly want to go in and sit down. I feel that if I were like that person, I would actually be working as a small handyman, but not lowly or low-level.

As a slave and not hurting others, will he also have such a simple life as I longed for when he was a spy?

Ge Xiangming sneezed. He had learned to be lazy now. Anyway, it was an accident that he came to Meng Lian Hall. He had already asked to be transferred out of the imperial city, so it didn't matter what happened to the Third Young Master and Meng Lian Hall.

However, being a secret agent in the imperial city is a good job, with high security and low workload. However, Ge Xiangming has provoked the third son of Hong Guogong. Unless the third son dies suddenly today or tomorrow, Ge Xiangming must leave.

.

Ge Xiangming knocked on Mrs. Meng's door, and her voice was still sweet and soft, "Come in!"

"Have you thought about it?"

"I've thought about it, ma'am, I'll leave for Yizhou tomorrow."

"Actually, you can stay at Meng Lian Hall."

"No, thank you madam for your kindness."

"Oh, actually you have been doing well, but you are too impulsive. When you get to Yizhou, you must be more careful."

"yes."

Ge Xiangming only recently learned that the Meng Lian Pavilion was also an intelligence collection office set up by His Majesty in the Imperial City. However, he did not know whether Princess Shunhe was involved. It might be a coincidence that Princess Shunhe stayed at the Meng Lian Pavilion.

Maybe it was intentional.

Ge Xiangming lay comfortably on the wooden bed, not thinking about this matter in his heart. What does it have to do with him? He will set off tomorrow. Although Yizhou is remote, many things are much more free than the imperial city.

I still remember that when Ge Xiangming and the familiar spy chief asked him to leave the imperial city, he joked to himself, "You can finally leave with peace of mind." There had been some commotion in the court recently, and he felt very comfortable when he left.

However, if you leave, you won't be able to meet that person. She should probably come looking for you again. You don't know who she is yet.

Ge Xiangming turned over, feeling a little upset for some reason.

When I returned to Lu Ningxuan, it was already very late. Zhuqing came out to greet me and helped me get some water to wash my face and remove my makeup. I always like to have dinner after removing my makeup.

While I was lying on the bed, I gradually looked at the top of the bed and felt a little tired. This was a very bad sign. If you don’t like your current life, it will not be easy to live. How can you make things go smoothly?

But I couldn't help the desire in my heart and called Zhuqing and Lingbai in.

"How old are you?"

Zhuqing: "Nineteen years old." Lingbai: "Twenty."

"So young!"

"Sir, what are you talking about? You are also very young."

Of course they don't know that I have lived for nearly thirty years.

"Then where are you all from?"

I asked them about their family situation and said,

"When can the maids in the palace leave the palace?"

"If there are no special circumstances, little palace maids like us will leave the palace after the age of twenty-five. If they have some status, there are also people who can serve in the palace all the time." Ling Bai said.

Zhuqing added, "There are still people who have committed crimes, and I'm afraid they will have to work in this palace for the rest of their lives." She shrank her shoulders when she said this, obviously very scared.

I continued, "Can you see much of the scenery and people outside the palace?"

Ling Bai wanted to say, but was stopped by Zhu Qing, "We are all women. Although we learned etiquette from the nun before entering the palace, we are still women in deep boudoir. No matter how good the scenery outside is, we must stick to our true nature."
