Chapter 257 Invisibility

Cui Hengyue slept in the main room for one night and had breakfast in the main room before leaving the next day.

The Duke of Jingguo's Mansion has regained its former vitality, and servants shuttled through the courtyards to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Everyone kept silent and kept silent about yesterday's events, as if nothing happened yesterday.

In front of Hongdou, Cui Hengyue deliberately said to Shui Fu and Shui Rong: "You two are not seriously injured. Go out for a walk more and you will get better quickly."

Shui Fu and Shui Rong understood and left the room.

Not long after, Cui Hengyue also left the room. She walked slowly in Jinglan Garden to care for the injured servants in Jinglan Garden.

Seeing that Cui Hengyue was injured and visiting them, the servants of Jinglanyuan were very moved and persuaded Cui Hengyue to go back to his room to rest.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Cui Hengyue smiled to reassure them, and then said to them: "Okay, I just came to see if your injuries are healed.

"You don't need to do anything in the yard these days. The eldest lady has already arranged the people. You just need to rest and recover. If you get bored staying in the room, come out for a walk."

Everyone thanked him and dispersed on their own.

"Red Orange——"

Cui Hengyue stopped the youngest maid and asked gently: "Is the injury on your hand getting better?"

"Much better, I think I can work tomorrow." Hongju stretched out her right hand to show Cui Hengyue, and turned her hand as she spoke, as if to indicate that she was ready to work.

Cui Hengyue held her hand and said: "There are few people in Jinglan Garden and there is not so much work, so we should rest for two more days.

"Come, take a walk with me."

Hongju said yes and followed Cui Hengyue.

Cui Hengyue asked casually while admiring the scenery: "I heard that you stayed in Enci Building before entering Jinglan Garden. Are you an orphan adopted by Enci Building?"

There is an Enci Building on the outskirts of Jinyang. The Duke of Jingguo paid for its construction, and the Duke of Jingguo also paid for the care of everyone in the building.

Most of the people taken in by Enci House are homeless orphans. They either encountered natural disasters or man-made disasters, and their families were destroyed. In order to survive, they went to Enci House.

Because of Enci Tower, Ms. Cui gained a reputation as a philanthropist.

Hongju nodded: "Well, I was bullied when I was five years old. Fortunately, I met Mrs. Yan from Enci Building. She rescued me and then took me back to Enci Building.

"From then on, I stayed in Enci Building, reading, literacy, and learning skills.

"I'm a good embroiderer. I embroider some handkerchiefs and sell them on weekdays. The money I get is given to Lady Yan, which is a way of repaying Lady Yan for her kindness in raising me."

Cui Hengyue asked calmly: "Since you did a good job in Enci Tower, why did you come to the Jingguo Palace to be a maid?

"Did you know that to work as a maid in Duke Jingguo's mansion, you have to sign a contract of sale? It will not be easy for you to leave in the future?"

Hongju nodded again: "I know, I just want to repay the favor."

"Repay the favor?" Cui Hengyue was a little confused.

Hongju explained: "Enci Tower was built by Duke Jingguo. Because of Duke Jingguo, I have a place to live and can live till now.

"So I want to do something for Duke Jingguo, even if it's just sweeping the floor and washing clothes, I'll be satisfied."

Cui Hengyue reminded her: "You are in Jinglan Garden now, not in Duke Jingguo's yard."

"You are the granddaughter of Duke Jingguo. I take good care of you to repay Duke Jingguo's kindness." Hongju said seriously.

Cui Hengyue was a little speechless, but doubts arose in her heart.

"I haven't been to Enci Tower yet. Please tell me about Enci Tower."

"yes."

...

After Shui Fu and Shui Rong came back, Cui Hengyue sent Hong Dou and others away on the pretext of applying medicine.

"How's it going? Is there any new news about the assassins outside?" Cui Hengyue asked them in a low voice while tearing open his clothes to expose the wound.

Shui Rong changed Cui Hengyue's dressing.

Shui Fu was at the side and reported in a low voice: "Bai Qi stayed in the mansion to recover from his injuries, Liu Yang led people out of the city to hunt down the assassins, and Zeng Ming and the others were investigating the two people in the fourth room."

"Two people in the fourth room?" Cui Hengyue asked in confusion: "What's going on?"

Shui Fu bent down and said in Cui Hengyue's ear: "I heard that the assassin entered the fourth room yesterday, and then two people were missing from the fourth room.

"I also heard that these two people infiltrated the escort and left the city."

A light flashed in Cui Hengyue's mind.

She took Song Zhuoxing and three others into the fourth room, just to make Cui Quan think that there were two men in black hiding in the fourth room, so that Cui Quan would definitely search the fourth room, and then she would be able to find out the truth.

She had not seen anyone in the fourth room for many days after returning home, so she suspected that there was something wrong with the fourth room. However, there were guards around the fourth room and no one was allowed to approach. She could only understand Cui Quan and his wife by making some noise in the fourth room.

Attitude towards the fourth room.

But she didn't expect that the fourth room actually made some noise, and two people disappeared quietly, helping her invisibly.

Cui Hengyue felt that someone must have taken advantage of the assassination in the house to send his people out. The two people who disappeared were from the fourth room. Maybe the fourth uncle did this...

"I'll leave the fourth room in advance. Go and find out about Enci Building, Madam Yan and Hong Ju."

After listening to the instructions, Shui Fu couldn't help but ask: "Yuan Niang, are you suspecting that Hong Ju is the person sent by the old lady?"

Cui Hengyue hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Well, the Enci Building was built by the Duke of Jingguo. It is impossible for the old lady not to make use of the people inside.

"You go check it out first. If there is any problem, we can make preparations in advance."

...

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, at noon.

Shui Fu ran into the room panting: "Yuan Niang, someone is coming from the palace."

Cui Hengyue immediately put down the book, put on her shoes and walked outside: "Have they reached the fourth room?"

"We're heading towards the fourth room. We should have arrived by now..."

Before Shui Fu finished speaking, Cui Erniang ran in from outside: "Sister, the Queen Mother's people have gone to the fourth room, we..."

Shui Fu suddenly paused and looked at Cui Hengyue expectantly.

This little girl, is she just waiting for her to speak?

Cui Hengyue curled her lips and said as she wished: "Let's go and have a look."

Just waiting for these words, Cui Erniang happily dragged Cui Hengyue and ran out, introducing what she knew:

"The Queen Mother sent a total of three people, in addition to the two nuns, there was also a royal guard.

"That imperial guard is Xie Silang and Xie Yuan, who is also my cousin. He is very cruel and inhumane. If we run into him later, we will leave."

Shui Fu ran into the room panting: "Yuan Niang, someone is coming from the palace."

Cui Hengyue immediately put down the book, put on her shoes and walked outside: "Have they reached the fourth room?"

"We're heading towards the fourth room. We should have arrived by now..."

Before Shui Fu finished speaking, Cui Erniang ran in from outside: "Sister, the Queen Mother's people have gone to the fourth room, we..."

Shui Fu suddenly paused and looked at Cui Hengyue expectantly.
