He wore a sword and hid in the back alley of Hou Mansion, only a dozen steps away from Cao's house.
As the laughter started, he saw a girl from the Hou Mansion who was on leave coming out of a neighbor's house and back to her own home. Nanzhi thought that he needed to change his identity, so he stayed here to observe for the past two days.
This new identity makes it easier to get closer to Song Chengming.
At the same time, Cao Xi walked out of Qingliangfang late at night. As the night fell, she naturally turned around and parted ways with Liu Ruhai.
Liu Ruhai stood at the intersection of Qingliangfang Street, looking sideways with his hands behind his hands.
Seeing her walking in a hurry under the moonlight, not going back to the Marquis Mansion or going to Shunyifang, he thought for a moment. He followed her quietly.
On the south bank of the Qinhuai River, the entrance to the underground river. She walked down the slope and entered the underground river.
Liu Ruhai followed from a distance, the river was twisting and turning, the secret passages were weaving, the crescent moon covered the clouds, and there was light gold in the water.
Gradually, the night becomes darker and darker.
If it hadn't been for him, if he hadn't released the snake a long time ago, she might have gotten rid of it before half a stick of incense.
She shuttled back and forth between the secret passage and the waterside, her figure flying like a enchantress. What was even more terrible was that Liu Ruhai followed her to the passage between the palace walls without knowing it, and he suddenly realized that she completely avoided Su Jintian and Su Jintian.
Fanzi, the patrol officer of the city.
Today was Su Jintian's personal inspection, so Liu Ruhai had no intention of going down into the tunnel. Now, even he was not discovered by the City Patrol Department. Apparently, the City Patrol Department has doubled the number of patrols this time.
He sighed to himself, if he didn't kill her, she would definitely do something bad to him.
Cao Xiwan was indeed careless this time. She didn't expect that someone could secretly follow her and move freely underground. Especially the spies from the Northern Palace, who were unlikely to be familiar with the underground secret passages.
Once lost, it is easy to be caught by the gangsters. She also deliberately chose this night when Su Jintian was on duty.
After all, she has been patrolling the streets for more than ten years and has a good understanding of the terrain. How can it be easy?
Liu Ruhai saw her carelessness with his own eyes and she jumped into the underground river.
He could only stop in shock.
Watch her go away in the dark river.
Liu Ruhai didn't know where the underground river led. His snake was not a water snake, and water snakes were too difficult to tame. But he also had an underground map of the dilapidated capital city, which was given to him by Prince Zhao's Palace, and he speculated on the direction in which she would go.
——She entered the palace?
Liu Ruhai was shocked. The Miyagi Water Gate in this direction should be closed.
No, there must be an underground sewer?
He gritted his teeth, turned around and went straight to the palace road, using the medicinal snake to bypass the eunuch's patrol in the Chengtian Gate. The red berth of the imperial guards in the imperial city was densely covered with warning signs. He lay down and gave the signal. Naturally, there was someone from Prince Zhao's Mansion.
Nei Ying picked him up.
"Why is the manager here at this time? Is there something urgent? You scared me."
"……Um."
He hurriedly changed into eunuch clothes and asked, "Where does the underground river outside the palace lead to?"
"Outside the palace? Aqueducts leading to various palaces."
"... His Majesty's bedroom also has a water channel?"
"Arrived too."
"..." She's not planning to assassinate her. No, it's impossible. At least she needs to be prepared, at least bring a sword?
With her idle shopping attitude, he could tell that she was entering the palace to see her friend Lu Xiuyun? Yes, she must want to go to the East Palace to meet her friend who often bullied her and pinched her. Liu Ruhai comforted himself
.
Lu Xiuyun's stupidity and boldness are rare. She deserves to be cherished.
"But the canal is smelly and the water gate is narrow. People come and go, and every palace can wash the toilet."
He was astonished and almost laughed, then thought for a while: "I remember that the water in the Yuhe River in front of the Zichen Palace where I went to court was clean."
"That's right, but the water leads to Xuanwu Lake."
Cao Xiwan jumped out of Xuanwu Lake like a golden-scaled fish that has matured over a thousand years, looking up at the moonlight.
On the back floor of Huangce's warehouse, she sat on a corner of the green-painted eaves.
Her blue shadow puppet dance seems to have improved. She thought.
Liu Ruhai, taking the place of eunuch Niu Zijinniu, will follow the imperial chariot to Xuanwu Lake tonight. Because of the hot weather, His Majesty will come to Xuanwu Lake to go boating to cool off in the middle of the night.
We will also rest in the water palace at night.
The string music was faint, blowing in the lotus breeze, and His Majesty and the concubines were laughing and chatting.
Eunuch Liu stood on the bow of the boat, looked around carefully, and finally saw the six-story Huangce Tower by the lake in the distance.
There is a golden moon behind the building, and there is a misty phantom in the moon.
What was Cao Xiwan thinking about?
Liu Ruhai was puzzled. Is she showing off that even with the power of one sword, her blue shadow puppet dance is better than Su Jintian?
She is on the roof, jumping around like a zombie. What is she doing?
Her blue shadow puppet dance looks like a phantom in the moon palace.
Without Liu Ruhai's superb eyesight, he wouldn't be able to see clearly. But are there zombies jumping around with their legs upright in the Moon Palace?
Liu Ruhai once again discovered that, just like he had done in the cemetery many years ago, he had no idea whether the woman was ill? Or was she possessed by a ghost?
However, it was him who was frightened to death.
He smiled bitterly.
Cao Xiwan felt that she had not seen His Majesty for a long time, so she went to see His Majesty and inspect her territory. Recently, because of the horoscope calculation in the Marquis of Nankang Mansion, they mentioned that Lady Jia Shu had a phoenix destiny, and reminded her of the "evil star"
The "driving offense" incident made her feel worried and full of thoughts.
She didn't mean to be so arrogant and different. She sat on the eaves, looked at the golden moon, and thought about it. Liu Ruhai didn't want to go to the cemetery to play with her. She also thought about the past ten years.
The bones she picked were buried. But she still went to the new cemetery by the dark river to wander around.
Su Jintian didn't say anything, but just held a lantern so that she could pick up bones in the sand. Cao Xiwan thought with emotion, good friends for life. Thanks to him for not being afraid of her.
Manager Lian Er has been afraid of her since he was a child.
Liu Ruhai declined her politely. She could understand that he had been crying since he was a child and was timid.
She lowered her head and picked up the bunch of medicinal sachets from her waist. Two of them were gifts from Liu Ruhai (she snatched them), one embroidered with lychee flowers to prevent epidemics, and one embroidered with round beads to prevent snakes.
He shouldn't be like a swindler who burns incense in the sect. She has read too many secret documents in Jinyi. Those swindlers who burn incense to establish a sect and cheat money and sex should be jailed and beheaded.
Early morning, Nankang Hou Mansion.
Liyuan.
Nanzhi was in the room, and there was no movement at all. It seemed that she was not staring at the girl in the second room in the middle of the night, thinking about Li Daitao.
Even when Cao Xiwan came back early in the morning, he deliberately passed by her yard and heard her practicing Ruan Qin in the morning. He couldn't help but admire the actress's ability to keep her composure.
But she bumped into Liu Ruhai first.
"Is something wrong?" She was surprised.
Liu Ruhai was waiting outside the second door. He returned home just two feet earlier than her. He looked at her and saw that she was gnawing on the breakfast pancakes he bought outside. He asked: "When are we going to Chengfu Temple? Let's go see the wonderful things together."
Master Lian Temple?"
She thought there was something in Liu Xiaozi's words? She looked at him suspiciously: "What are you doing?"
He didn't say anything, just said: "By the way. The musician Nanzhi you mentioned, I heard Songbi say that she seemed to be observing the girls in the house. She was talking and saying hello to several girls."
When she heard this, she finished the cake in several mouthfuls, clapped her hands, and suddenly said: "I think Nanzhi is a man."
His eyes flashed, and he knew of course Yang Pingcui's bone-shrinking and shape-changing skills. In this case, the master who killed the cow eunuch she told him last night was a master who had no choice but to remain unknown?
——Men’s clothing and women’s clothing?
"You should be able to tell." He had heard that Yang Pingcui was discovered by an old palace eunuch. The old eunuch later taught her how to see through the bone-shrinking and shape-changing skills. This man lived in the small house outside Chengtianmen.
In the dilapidated courtyard is the old eunuch guarding the palace wall.
"Yes, but I still didn't see it. I tried many methods." She hinted that she even went to spy on Nanzhi taking a bath. "It's impossible to hide it if you take off your clothes, otherwise I would have taught her a lesson."
"...I thought you had already taught me a lesson." Liu Ruhai laughed. Of course he had heard about Miss Cao's incident of smashing her hair in the kitchen.
"Using the scissors and smearing the mud on her face is to retaliate against her. It is not to teach her a lesson." She explained, "I have to let her know that I am not easy to talk to. Apart from my wife, I am the biggest in the main hall." She said solemnly.
Pointed out, "This is a matter in the inner house, you don't understand."
"...That's it." He couldn't help but laugh.
It was not only Liu Ruhai who reminded her about Nanzhi. When she returned to the inner house, Granny Ma also quietly reported it.
Nanzhi has been getting close to the girls in each house recently.
"Girl?" What does this musician want to do?
In the Huichun Hall, Feng Junqing only got one-third of the Fushou Dan prescription.
But he's not in a hurry either.
What the prince wants is actually not the prescription for longevity and longevity pills.
If he could bribe and convince the Qingluo female ghost, he could do more. He also wanted to go into the palace and check the Yellow Book Storehouse.
