Probably because they had just arrived at the palace, everyone was still tidying up, and there was no one else in the flower garden at the moment.
When Gu Nuoer and Wanyin came here, they immediately saw a palm-sized epiphyllum with gorgeous buds among the layers of flowers.
Seeing this, Wan Yin frowned: "The epiphyllum that I am going to present to the empress should be well kept and placed somewhere else. Why do I just put it among the flowers like this? I am not afraid of anyone picking it away."
Gu Nuoer blinked her watery eyes, looked at the epiphyllum for a moment, and then said: "Sister Wanyin, maybe it is basking in the sun."
The little guy stepped on his little feet and wanted to walk near the flowers to take a closer look.
Unexpectedly, I heard a sudden cry from the bushes on the side: "Sister, don't go there!"
Gu Nuoer took a small step and turned to look.
I saw a person emerging from the inconspicuous grass behind me.
"Eighth brother, why is it you!"
Behind a bush that was half a man tall, stood a young boy.
His face is still a bit immature, but he has just revealed a hint of handsomeness.
Wearing a sapphire crown and a long gown of the same color.
This is the eighth prince, Gu Zilan.
His mother, Concubine Mo, was the first descendant of Shuzhong Organization.
It is said that many of the mechanical techniques used for defense in Daqi's border towns were created by Concubine Mo.
Gu Zilan waved hurriedly: "It's too late to explain. Sister, come to my side and hide!"
Gu Nuo'er didn't know why, so she still walked over with her little feet.
Gu Zilan carried her into the bushes and told Wanyin to get in as well.
The three of them squatted down together.
Gu Nuoer was in the middle, blinking her big, watery eyes.
"Brother Eight," she asked in a low voice, "Are we playing hide-and-seek?"
Gu Zilan has slender eyebrows and a naturally smiling face.
He pursed his lips and smiled: "I just found a sneaky eunuch. He has been wandering around the night-blooming night-blooming night-blooming night-blooming night-blooming night-blooming night-blooming night. I heard him muttering that he wanted to find a shovel. He must be trying to steal the night-blooming night-blooming night-blooming night-blooming night-blooming night-blooming night-blooming night-blooming night-blooming night!"
So I improvised a simple mechanism to catch him as soon as he comes!"
Gu Nuoer clapped gently with her little hands: "Brother Eight is so awesome!"
Wanyin was a little worried.
Concubine Qiao, she never wanted the little princess to get close to Concubine Mo and the Eighth Prince.
It's not because they are bad, but... there are too many mechanisms.
Concubine Mo had nothing to do, so she built mechanisms in the palace and practiced her skills all day long.
Even the eighth prince, who had been exposed to it since he was born, knew his mother and concubine’s craftsmanship.
It is said that when the emperor and several concubines went south, they were attacked by assassins.
The assassin panicked and fled into the place where Concubine Mo lived. As soon as he stepped on the grass, he was shot into a sieve by arrows all over the sky!
The imperial concubine felt that it was dangerous and was afraid that the little princess would step on something and hurt herself.
Thinking of how just now, Gu Nuoer almost got close to the night-blooming night-blooming night-blooming night-blooming cereus, and the Eighth Prince had placed a trap nearby, Wanyin felt frightened in her heart.
At this moment, the three of them saw an old eunuch walking down the palace road not far away.
Gu Zilan was very excited: "It's him!"
Gu Nuoer blinked her moist eyes and clenched her little hands, ready to go!
But Wanyin frowned in confusion.
"This man seems to be the gardener in charge!"
Gu Zilan was stunned: "What?"
He just wanted to remind the eunuch not to walk over.
But it was too late.
As soon as the old eunuch stepped on the edge of the flower bush, he heard a "click".
Immediately afterwards, in the nearest big tree, there suddenly was a bright long knife, which suddenly broke through the leaves of the forest and swung it down!
