Chapter 271: Visiting the Palace at Night
Seeing Zi Yan and others put down their things and really leaving, Shui Fu clenched her fists.
"I want these people to look good sooner or later."
When she was working as a servant in the palace with her wife, many people cursed her, but she didn't expect that she would return to the palace again a few years later, but she was treated like this.
Cui Hengyue glanced at her fist and asked, "Who are you two more familiar with the layout of the palace?"
The two looked at each other and exchanged glances: What is she trying to do?
The next moment, Shui Fu said, "We are all very familiar with each other."
Upon hearing this, Cui Hengyue ordered: "Then you can keep one person outside and wait for me, and one person comes in to help me."
At this time, Shui Rong had already guessed what Cui Hengyue wanted to do, so she said to Shui Fu: "You are waiting outside, I'll go in."
So, Shui Fu was guarding the door, and Shui Rong followed Cui Hengyue into the room.
In the dilapidated Hongqiong Garden, only this main room is spotless and clean, with the pen, ink, paper and inkstone sent by the palace servant just now.
Cui Hengyue pointed to the paper and pen on the desk: "Help me draw a map of the palace."
Then pick up the ink ingot and grind the ink.
Shuirong walked to the back of the desk and sat down, picked up the pen and thought about it before drawing on the paper.
A quarter of an hour later, Shui Rong blew the ink on the paper and handed it to Cui Hengyue: "This is the general layout of the palace, and some small places may be missed..."
Cui Hengyue took the map and glanced at it: "It's okay."
Shui Rong opened her mouth and wanted to ask her what she was going to do, but in the end she closed her mouth and asked nothing.
Cui Hengyue put away the map, entered the inner room and took off her outer clothes, revealing the night clothes inside, and took out the map and looked at it before leaving the inner room.
"I'll go out and you stay here. If someone comes, I'll find a way to get rid of it."
Shui Rong responded respectfully: "Yes."
But Shui Fu chased after him: "Yuanniang, what do you want to do?"
"Save people." Before he finished speaking, Cui Hengyue disappeared in front of him.
Shui Fu stared at the place where Cui Hengyue disappeared, and was very puzzled: Who are she going to save?
"Get in." Shui Rong shouted.
It’s cold and the entire Hongqiongyuan is only in the main room with a clean room.
Shui Fu walked into the room in disappointment and sat on the chair: "Who did you say Yuan Niang want to save?"
"I don't know." Shuirong picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, and drank it in one sip.
She claimed that she was best at scrutinizing people's thoughts, but she couldn't see through Cui Hengyue's thoughts.
Shui Fu held her cheek with her hands on her face, looking distressed: "Isn't telling us, is she already starting to doubt our identity and distrust us?"
Shui Rong was silent for a moment and said slowly: "The master has his own considerations in his heart when doing things. It is impossible to tell us everything, even if he is a confidant."
"You are wrong, and my wife will tell us everything." Shui Fu retorted.
"No, my wife also has something to hide from us." Shui Rong reminded her: "King of Chu."
Shuifu had a meal.
The wife rarely talked about the King of Chu to them. She occasionally became interested and told them that the King of Chu was a trivial matter.
Shui Fu felt very uncomfortable and looked at Shui Rong stubbornly: "My wife is our benefactor and is very kind to us. Even if she has something to hide from us, I will be loyal to her wholeheartedly."
"Miss Cui is also very nice to us." Shui Rong reminded her again.
Shui Fu was stunned for a moment, "Okay, no matter what she is going to do, we can just protect her."
Hearing this, Shui Rong smiled with relief.
......
The night was as cool as water, and the harem lights gradually went out, and only a few palaces still had candlelights on.
After the empress dowager went to bed, she remembered Cui Hengyue and asked Madam You: "What's wrong with that person from Hongqiongyuan?"
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the little lady can tolerate it. She said nothing and accepted it all."
After answering, Madam You hesitated for a moment: "Empress Dowager, is it inappropriate to do this? After all, the King of Chu personally allowed her to leave Yunxuan Temple."
"So what?" The Empress Dowager said with a stern face: "If the King of Chu really values this stinky girl, he would not only give her two little maids."
Madam You was silent.
The Queen Mother didn't say anything anymore, and closed her eyes after lying down.
At this moment, Cui Hengyue had already sneaked into the Yeting Court following the map.
Unexpectedly, the map Shuirong drew for her was real and not fake.
Cui Hengyue felt a little relieved, folded the map and stuffed it into her arms, hid in the darkness, and continued to sneak forward.
"who?"
Hearing a subtle sound from outside the window, Lu'er turned over and sat up, looking at the window alertly.
"Are you looking for me?" A familiar and unfamiliar woman's voice suddenly sounded in the room.
Lu'er looked in the sound, but saw a man in black walking out from behind the curtain. She couldn't help but shout, "There's..."
"Shh--"
Cui Hengyue jumped and came to the bed. She reached out to cover Lu'er's mouth and reminded: "Don't talk, otherwise I will kill you."
Feeling the sharpness around her waist, Lu'er nodded quickly.
Cui Hengyue let go of her hand and asked fiercely: "I'll ask you, how did Concubine Rong die back then?"
Lu'er paused for a moment and then replied: "I died of illness."
"What disease?"
"Wind and cold."
"lie."
Cui Hengyue sent the short knife in her hand forward, and Lu'er's clothes instantly broke into pieces.
There was a cold feeling of wetness and pain around my waist. Lu'er was shocked and begged for mercy: "A hero is in the life, what I said is true, I didn't lie to you.
"Really, you have to believe me."
A hint of mocking appeared on the corner of Cui Hengyue's lips under her face: "I was punished to stay in the same room alone when I was punished, and I didn't have to work.
"Do you think all this means that the Queen Mother has spoken and asked the people in the Yeting to treat you well?
"Do you still think that the Empress Dowager was forced to demote you to the Yeting Court. When the storm passed, the Empress Dowager would transfer you back to Wanshou Palace?"
Lu'er didn't say anything, but her expression revealed that she thought so.
Cui Hengyue sneered: "If you think so, you will be exactly what the Empress Dowager wants. I'm afraid you won't know how you died.
"What kind of person is the Queen Mother? You have followed her for so many years and should know better than me.
"When the Empress Dowager was a concubine Shu, she opposed Concubine Rong everywhere. You know the truth back then and know so many secrets. She will never save your life." "Do you think all this means that the Empress Dowager said that the people in the Yeting treat you well?
