Chu Miaoer looked down at the cold knife on her neck and nodded stiffly, not daring to move her body. She never thought that one day this sharp blade would actually be placed on her neck.
"Princess, there seems to be a thief coming into the palace, you..."
Hearing that Baitao seemed to want to push the door open, Chu Miaoer felt the knife on his neck move a little deeper, and quickly stopped him: "Baitao... Baitao, you first go outside and ask what is going on and who is secretly hiding there."
After entering the palace, I will change my clothes and come out."
The incident happened suddenly, and there was a lot of noise outside. At this time, Baitao couldn't tell the abnormality in Miao'er's words. He was relieved when he heard that she was safe, and he turned around and ran out of the yard as he promised.
"Can you put down your sword now?" Chu Miao'er took a deep breath to calm down her mood at this time, without looking back, "I thought we were not friends, at least we would not be enemies holding swords.
Aryuna."
Alyuna slowly put the short knife into his waist. Seeing this, Chu Miaoer immediately covered his neck and took two steps back, fearing that he would impulsively put the knife on his neck again later, although Alyuna might not necessarily
It would really kill her, but she never wanted to experience the extreme stretch just now.
Seeing her subconscious action, Al Yun pulled off the black scarf on his face and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry. It's an emergency. I'm not sure whether you will... help me, so I can only help."
This is the next best thing.”
"I don't need your false apology. Why did you sneak into the palace in the middle of the night?" Chu Miao'er said unceremoniously, "There are all guards outside. As long as I shout now, even if I die, you can't escape.
.”
Aryuna also knew that she had never been so weak and easy to bully, but the top priority was to escape the pursuit of the imperial guards, not to compete with Chu Miao'er for words.
"I just wanted to see Yun Duo, and I didn't mean any harm." As if he was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, Al Yunna explained in a deep voice, "I came from Xiling this time, and I didn't know anything about Mobei beforehand."
He entered the palace alone, and was also discovered by the imperial guards. There should be no trouble. But... came from Xiling? Could it be that he knew about the snow disaster in Xiling and was worried about Yang Jinxi? He ran from Dongjue to Xiling,
This friendship was so touching that Chu Miaoer pursed her lips calmly.
She observed Aryuna's expression and it didn't look like he was lying.
"There are thieves breaking into the palace. They are afraid of disturbing Feng Jia. We are also acting under orders. Please ask Miss Baitao to get out of the way."
Chu Miaoer listened attentively and quietly to the movements outside. It seemed that they had already searched here.
"This is the residence of the fourth princess. You, you can't break in without permission!" Baitao was still arguing at the door, "How can a foreigner enter the residence of the princess?"
"On the order of the Emperor, we are arresting the thief. We don't need to say anything more to you, just go in!" After an impassioned speech, it seemed that they were ready to force their way in.
Chu Miaoer pointed to his wardrobe in Alyuna's direction, turned around and walked towards the outer room.
"Let me go in and let me know..." Before she could finish her words, the door opened. Baitao turned around in surprise, seeming to feel her own uselessness, and said with a sad face, "Princess, slave..."
"I have met the fourth princess," Marin said politely. "It is really helpless to disturb the fourth princess. There is a thief in the palace. Leader Tong and his people have gone to other palaces to search. The subordinates have their responsibilities. Please understand the fourth princess."
.”
With such a big thing happening in the palace, Tong Zhuo didn't come to Fengwei Palace without any excuse. It couldn't be just to avoid suspicion, right?
"It's okay, I'm awake too," Chu Miao'er shook his head with a smile, turned sideways to make way for them, followed them and pretended to yawn, "How could a thief enter the palace in the middle of the night?
It makes people panic..."
Ma Lin and his men carefully inspected everything, including the beams and the foot of the bed. Obviously, this matter tonight has disturbed Fu Deyou. For the safety of the emperor, the Imperial Guards will not do anything.
He would let go of any clues. Chu Miaoer stood at the door and saw them rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, and was heartbroken.
"Presumptuous!" Baitao suddenly yelled loudly, and walked quickly to stop in front of the imperial guard, "All the intimate clothes of the fourth princess are inside, you are not afraid of blinding your eyes!"
The man was stunned by Baitao and quickly retracted his hand. Logically speaking, they were really not qualified to inspect the princess's personal belongings. The fourth prince was not someone to be trifled with, but the emperor's order could not be violated.
Ma Lin walked straight to Chu Miao'er and asked with a smile: "The emperor's order cannot be violated, do you mind if the fourth princess does it?"
The intention of testing is very obvious... This Ma Lin pretends to be serious, but he is far less meticulous than Tong Zhuo.
"I don't mind, you can do whatever you want." Chu Miaoer turned around and found a chair to sit down, looking at him with a leisurely smile, "Baitao, please get out of the way. You're not doing anything wrong. Is there anything that they can't search for? If it's because of this,
If I delay the pursuit of the thief, I might be convicted of 'treason'. I won't be able to explain it to the prince when he comes back, and I won't be able to explain it to the Queen."
The man kept looking at Marin's face. He couldn't even reach out or not. He was extremely embarrassed.
"Our princess asked you to search, why are you still standing there, why don't you search quickly!" Baitao stepped aside and said angrily.
"Have you finished searching?" Marin suddenly said loudly, "After the search, let's go to the next palace! Let's go!" He turned around and saluted Chu Miao'er, "I disturbed the princess tonight, please don't blame the princess."
"Thank you for your hard work..." Chu Miao'er yawned and stood up, nodded and said, "Baitao, give me a gift, Master Ma."
Without looking back, Marin led the group of people and left in an orderly manner.
After making sure that the person was gone, Chu Miaoer quickly walked to the closet, opened the door, and reminded: "After leaving the yard, walk a hundred meters forward. Her yard is on the left. Hurry up before Baitao comes back.
leave."
The cabinet was full of Chu Miaoer's underwear, and it was conceivable that they all smelled like her. But Alyuna jumped out of it without changing his expression, and said with clasped fists, "Thank you very much."
"You're welcome. Calculation owes me a favor. I'll ask you to pay it back in the future if I think of it. But the Imperial Guard has discovered that someone has sneaked into the palace, so you shouldn't stay any longer." Chu Miaoer quietly opened the innermost window, "From here
Walk."
Aryuna did not hesitate, nodded, and jumped into the night.
"Hey...Princess, those imperial guards are really reckless. They broke in without any warning. Fortunately, you got up early, otherwise I don't know what to do..." Baitao locked the door behind him.
He walked in muttering, looked at the closet door wide open, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "This..."
Chu Miaoer came back to her senses, lightly closed the window and said with a smile: "I checked it again because I was worried. I can finally have a good sleep after I leave." She stretched and walked towards the bed sleepily.
"Yeah..." Baitao sighed as he served her to bed, "It seems that this palace is not as safe as our prince's palace..."
Perhaps because her nerves were too close just now, Chu Miaoer fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow. As for what Baitao said next, she had no idea.
An intensive search was carried out all night, and in the early morning of the next day, the end was written on a dead body.
Hearing rumors from people in the palace, the eunuch who saw the dead body said categorically that this was the thief from yesterday. He still remembered the thief's clothes and the orchid-like opening on his chest.
After hearing this, Chu Miaoer recalled carefully that Al Yunna's clothes seemed to have been torn open by something last night, but she didn't know whether it looked like an orchid. It was true that the dead body was not a thief.
Since he has found someone to talk back to him, it means that Al Yunna has met Al Yunduo and escaped unscathed. I hope his adventure is useful, Chu Miaoer thought to himself.
"Princess, Princess..." Baitao ran from outside in a hurry, calling anxiously as he ran, "Princess..."
Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted. Chu Miaoer looked back and asked lightly: "I'm not deaf, so why are you shouting so much?" Based on her understanding of Baitao, this girl must have heard something.
I came to complain for her.
"Princess, do you know who the servant went to see just now?" Baitao opened his round eyes wide and continued without waiting for Chu Miao'er to respond, "Just now, someone from the palace came to call the slave and said that someone was looking for him outside the palace gate.
The servant was still very confused and hurried over. Only when he looked over did he realize that it was Qingqiu."
Qingqiu was originally the personal maid she planned to assign to Wan Niang, but Wan Niang refused several times for reasons she was not used to. After she got to know Wan Niang later, she gave up. If nothing else, she should be in the house now."
"Take care of" Qin Luo Ge, why are you looking for white peaches in the palace?
"What's wrong with Qin Luoge? Did he cause trouble again?" Chu Miaoer asked calmly.
Baitao stamped her feet angrily, turned around half a circle and said angrily: "This time she didn't cause any trouble, she just ran away!"
"Run away?!" Chu Miaoer's eyes widened in surprise, and then a bold guess loomed in her mind.
It is impossible for Qin Luoge to enter the palace to find the Queen Mother. After what happened last time, it is impossible for her to go to her uncle. Now that she has no relatives in Kyoto, there is only one possibility to escape from the palace privately...
"She has no relatives or friends in Kyoto, so where can she go?" She asked seriously, "What is the specific situation?"
Seeing that she had returned to her normal demeanor, Baitao breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "Just now Qingqiu said that Miss Qin suddenly felt unwell the night before yesterday and went to bed early without having dinner. The next day, the prince led the troops to go to the palace.
Everyone went to see them off. When it was time to have lunch, Qingqiu suddenly remembered that Miss Qin didn't drink any water last night, so she quickly asked the kitchen to prepare some food and sent it over. However, when she entered the room, she found that the room was empty.
