The sun moves slowly and is almost overhead.

Lin Yin, the guard who sent the work, had already gone to the corridor to rest. In the yard, everyone was busy with their work, preparing to exchange for lunch rations. Only Cui Hengyue and Su Biwen stood facing each other at the foot of the steps, staring at each other with big eyes.

.

Suddenly, Cui Hengyue closed her sour eyes, looked up at the sky, and ran away.

"Where are you going?" The guard in the corridor stopped Cui Hengyue.

Su Biwen looked over, and Lin Yin also noticed the movement here.

Cui Hengyue raised her chin at the guard and asked, "Why, the rules of the South Hall have been changed again. No one is allowed to move around?"

"The lieutenant ordered that if you two don't finish picking up the beans before lunch, you won't have anything to eat today," the guard kindly reminded.

"I won't eat today."

After Cui Hengyue said these words, he waved away the guard's blocking hand and ran away.

The guard glanced at the direction Cui Hengyue was running in, and then reported to Lin Yin: "The little madman said she won't eat today. Looking at the direction, she should have gone to Datongpu to get something."

After all, I no longer live in Datongpu, so my old things still have to be taken away.

Lin Yin nodded slightly and continued to scan the yard: "I have been told by the superiors, and we still follow the previous rules. As long as they don't kill anyone, you don't have to worry about anything."

"Yes." The guard returned to his original position and continued to guard.

Su Biwen stared in the direction of Datongpu, his eyes getting deeper and deeper. There were two Datongpu in Dizang Pavilion, which were divided into men and women. When he entered the South Hall, he gave the King of Chu a sum of money, so there was a separate room in the north wing.

Room, I think the same goes for Li Bier.

But Cui Hengyue is the daughter of a noble family, even though her mother was abandoned by the family, she is still the daughter-in-law of the Cui family. Even if the Cui family does not give her money, at least she still has a dowry.

However, Mrs. Wang took her maid to live in the North Cave, but left her daughter outside in the crowded and messy Datongpu. It is really puzzling.

While he was thinking wildly, Su Biwen saw Cui Hengyue coming out of the Women's Datong Shop. She didn't seem to have brought anything, only a very ordinary fire stick.

In the blink of an eye, Cui Hengyue went to the kitchen again.

Su Biwen stood up and walked up the steps.

"Why, you don't want to eat today either?" The guard in the corridor did not stop Su Biwen, and there was a hint of joking in his words.

Of course, with his kung fu, he couldn't defeat Su Biwen.

After the battle just now, the guards of the Ksitigarbha Pavilion realized that they could not defeat Su Biwen, and they might not even be able to defeat Cui Hengyue.

Su Biwen looked at him sideways: "I am convinced of Bigu today."

Guard: "..."

Su Biwen did not go to the kitchen, but avoided the guards and went around to the back of the kitchen.

"Ms. Chen, I'm here to do the work." Cui Hengyue shouted to Mrs. Chen as soon as she rushed into the kitchen.

Everyone in the kitchen looked over, and when they saw it was Cui Hengyue, they continued working.

Mrs. Chen was cooking. She looked back at Cui Hengyue and began to give instructions: "Don't be stunned, go and help."

"Hello!"

Cui Hengyue agreed readily, but did not go to her original position. Instead, she stood beside Mrs. Chen and stretched her neck to look into the pot.

"It smells so good!" Cui Hengyue sniffed hard.

A guard came in and said loudly: "Ms. Chen, Cui Hengyue has not completed his errand, so he is not allowed to eat at noon and evening today. Please remember this."

Mrs. Chen said yes, then turned around and scolded Cui Hengyue: "You said that you, a little girl, haven't seen you for a few days and have even forgotten how to behave in the South Palace. Did I teach you all in vain?

"There are everyone in the South Palace. There are many people with better martial arts than you. Even General Mu's people are not good at it. What does your martial arts mean? You might as well hide your clumsiness.

"Then Su Biwen asked you to pick up the beans. You just pick them up. At worst, I will help you pick them up. Why do you have to make it so bad that you can't even eat?

"You said that when you are growing, how can you not eat? Not even one meal..."

Cui Hengyue salivated and said, "Then just give me something to eat!"

"No!" Chen refused without thinking.

Cui Hengyue immediately grimaced.

In her current memory, Mrs. Chen has always been very good to the little lunatic, but it was just a little food, so why was she rejected?

If Mu Yun hadn't controlled all the supplies in the South Palace and she couldn't find anything to eat, she wouldn't have opened this mouth.

Seeing Cui Hengyue's sad expression, Mrs. Chen suddenly felt that she had gone too far, so she comforted Cui Hengyue with gentle words: "Crazy girl, it's not that I didn't give you food, it's that you didn't finish the work yourself.

"Next time, you must be obedient and do whatever they ask you to do, so that you can eat.

"Besides, the Ksitigarbha Pavilion is full of Yun Duwei's people. Even if I want to give you my share, they won't allow it."

Cui Hengyue's eyes lit up. As long as they didn't see it, she could eat it?

"Haha, I just said it casually. Madam Chen, don't take it seriously. I said I won't eat today, so I won't eat today."

When Mrs. Chen saw that she was smiling happily and not trying to force her smile, she felt relieved and said, "Then you can go and stay outside. I don't need your help here, so as not to waste your energy and make you hungry faster."

"It's okay, I had a full meal in the morning."

Cui Hengyue insisted on helping, so Chen went with her.

At this time, Xiaohuan, the girl in charge of lighting the fire, stood up and shouted to Cui Hengyue: "Crazy girl, if you want to help, just come over and light the fire. This was your job before."

Cui Hengyue stared at the gray mark on Xiaohuan's face and took a step back in disgust: "They didn't ask me to light the fire today, so you can do it."

Xiaohuan was anxious: "There are so many stoves, I can't keep up with them."

"Aren't you lighting the fire alone these days?" Cui Hengyue asked with raised eyebrows.

In her memory, since the little lunatic was seven years old, she had been responsible for all the stoves in the kitchen of the Ksitigarbha Pavilion, and she had never delayed the start of meals.

A seven-year-old lunatic can do it, but a sixteen-year-old Xiaohuan can't do it? Cui Hengyue didn't believe it.

Xiaohuan didn't think too much and nodded honestly: "I am lighting the fire alone."

"Then why did you call me?" Cui Hengyue stopped talking to Xiaohuan and picked a clean plate and handed it to Chen to serve.

Xiaohuan: "..."

Well, actually she just wants to be lazy.

After Chen served the dishes, she handed them to Cui Hengyue.

Cui Hengyue held the plate and quickly glanced around. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he quickly took a piece of food from the plate and put it into his mouth, wiping off the oil and water on his fingers.

"What are you doing?" Chen suddenly turned around and looked over.

Cui Hengyue said blankly: "Ah? What?"

Looking at Cui Hengyue's dull expression, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but sigh in her heart, poor child, and said: "Why are you still standing there? Put the vegetables in the food box and continue to help."

"Oh, alright."

Cui Hengyue quickly carried the plate to the table next to her, took two more bites when no one was paying attention, then stretched out her fingers to pluck the plate a few times to restore it to its original appearance, and put it in the food box.

In this way, while helping, Cui Hengyue was half full and secretly kept a few steamed cakes.

After the food was ready, the people in the kitchen wanted to take the food to the dining hall. Cui Hengyue wanted to stay in the kitchen, but the guards kicked her out and she was not allowed to go to the dining hall.

"Hmph, I won't go if I don't want to go." Anyway, she had already eaten.

Cui Hengyue sat down on the stone steps outside the dining hall and played with the fire stick in his hand.

When Chen came out, Cui Hengyue hurriedly followed and asked in a low voice: "Ms. Chen, I want to see the King of Chu. Do you know how to get to the North Palace?"

Mrs. Chen pulled Cui Hengyue into the courtyard, pointed to the stairs on the north side of the Ksitigarbha Pavilion and said: "Go from there to the Guanyin Pavilion on the third floor. There is a plank road outside that leads to the Bodhi Pavilion on the second floor of the North Hall.

"Enter from the Bodhi Pavilion and go up to the Shenyin Palace where the King of Chu lived.

"However, the plank road is guarded. No one is allowed to pass without King Chu's order."

After a pause, Chen suddenly asked: "Why are you going to see the King of Chu?"

"Uh... they saved me just now, and I want to go and thank the King of Chu." Cui Hengyue made up a nonsense reason.

"It was Captain Yun Du and Lieutenant Yun who saved you. You should thank them."

"Well...they are the people of King Chu, so they still have to thank King Chu."

Fearing that Ms. Chen would say something shocking again, Cui Hengyue quickly asked the next question: "Ms. Chen, have you never left the South Hall?"

As expected, Mrs. Chen no longer dwelled on the previous issue and replied: "Since I entered the South Hall, I have never left."

"Then they haven't left the South Hall? I mean General Mu and the others." Cui Hengyue pointed to the guards under the corridor.

"They occasionally go down the mountain to buy things."

"Then where did they come down from?"

Mrs. Chen pointed to a certain mahogany gate in the south and said: "Exit that gate to the temple. From the gate of the temple, there is a path that can reach the foot of Mount Heng."

Cui Hengyue stared at the lock on the mahogany door, her eyes shining through the light. How could a small Yunxuan Temple trap her?

Huh, if she can't fly out, can't she still get out?
Chapter completed!
