Mrs. Cui Si's expression froze, and then she closed her eyes.

Sure enough, someone came in.

Cui Yonglin's eyes flashed with light and he walked out.

"Fourth Master."

A man in gray clothes appeared in the corridor with a respectful attitude.

"Someone broke into Madam's room tonight, go find him." After Cui Yonglin ordered, he turned and entered the room.

The man in gray clothes flashed and jumped onto the roof. The next moment, he was lying directly on the roof, just like Cui Hengyue.

Not long after, Bai Xinyuan and his subordinates returned to their original positions and continued to guard the yard.

The surrounding gradually became quiet, Cui Hengyue was not in a hurry, and waited for another stick of incense. Seeing that there was no movement around, he quietly stood up and rushed towards the third room.

Behind her, a gray figure followed not far or near.

It wasn't until Cui Hengyue entered Jinglan Garden and returned to his room. After another incense was passed and no one came in or out, the man in gray returned to the fourth room.

On the second day, Cui Yonglin came out of the main room, and the man in gray said to him: "It's Yuanniang."

Cui Yonglin was shocked. He motioned for him to enter the study, closed the door and asked, "I heard that Yuanniang has two maids from Prince Chu's Mansion who know some kung fu. How can you be sure that it's not them, but Yuanniang?"

The man in gray said with certainty: "I've seen it with my own eyes..."

"Fourth Master——"

At this time, Qi Ge's voice came from outside the door: "Fourth Master, are you in there?"

Cui Yonglin winked at the man in gray, and the man in gray jumped up and disappeared into the beams.

"come in."

Qi Ge pushed the door open and came in. He glanced at Cui Yonglin who was sitting behind the desk and said respectfully: "Fourth Master, I heard that the Fourth Lady was frightened by a wild cat last night. I have ordered someone to catch the wild cat."

Cui Yonglin responded softly: "Yes, I understand."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Qi Ge hesitated and asked cautiously: "Fourth Master, is the Fourth Lady okay? Do you want to ask the government doctor to come and take a look?"

"No need, just let the maid prepare some soothing soup."

After Cui Yonglin finished speaking, he picked up the books on the table and started reading.

Qi Ge added some tea, stood for a while, and then left silently.

The room was quiet, except for the occasional sound of books being turned.

Outside the room, Qi Ge eavesdropped for a while and saw that there was no movement inside, so he left with peace of mind.

After he left, Cui Yonglin put down his book and looked at Fang Liang: "Go and investigate what Yuanniang has been doing recently. Remember, don't alert the enemy."

"Yes." There was no figure on the beam for an instant.

...

Jinglan Court.

Mrs. Du respectfully conveyed the old lady's order to Cui Hengyue: "A banquet was held in the Shangyuan Festival Palace, and the Queen Mother invited the old lady and several ladies, as well as the young man and the young lady.

"Yuan Niang is among them. The old lady specially ordered me to send clothes and jewelry. Please try them on Yuan Niang. If they don't fit, you should change them as soon as possible."

Enter the palace?

Cui Hengyue's eyes lit up. This was a good opportunity for her to investigate...

Mrs. Du saw her reaction in her eyes and thought to herself: After all, she is a young lady, but she still cannot resist the temptation of entering the palace.

Cui Hengyue tried on clothes and jewelry obediently, and asked Madam Du to go back to work.

After Mrs. Du left, Shui Fu showed an excited expression on her face: "It's great, you can enter the palace again."

Shui Rong said quietly: "The palace is a dangerous place."

Hearing this, the joy on Shui Fu's face instantly solidified. Thinking of what happened last time she entered the palace, she advised Cui Hengyue: "Yuan Niang, you'd better not go."

The Queen Mother has made it clear that she does not like Cui Hengyue. If she enters the palace, the Queen Mother will definitely make things difficult for her.

Shui Rong nodded: "I think it's better to pretend to be sick."

Cui Hengyue frowned: "No, I have to go."

She couldn't let go of such a good opportunity.

"Yuan Niang..."

Shui Fu and Shui Rong wanted to persuade her again, but when they saw Orange running towards them in the yard, they immediately closed their mouths.

"Yuan Niang——" Ju Hong ran in and said to Cui Hengyue excitedly: "Yuan Niang, I heard that the old lady is going to take you to the palace to participate in the feast during the Lantern Festival. I...

"Can I go?"

After finishing speaking, Juhong looked at Cui Hengyue expectantly, feeling anxious.

"Okay." Cui Hengyue agreed readily.

Hearing this, Orange thanked him happily.

Shui Fu wanted to say what she wanted to say, but it was hard to say it in front of Ju Hong. It was not until Ju Hong left that she reminded Cui Hengyue in a low voice: "Yuan Niang, there are many dangers in the palace. Take her with you. If she gets in the way, we will

how to respond?"

The most important thing is that they are isolated and helpless in the palace. If something happens, no one will come to save them. In this case, having someone with whom you don't know whether you are the enemy or not is a big disaster.

"It doesn't matter."

Seeing that she was still worried, Cui Hengyue explained: "Ever since she abandoned the secret and turned to the bright side, she has not sent any private messages to the old lady, and she also helped us last time.

"Logically speaking, we should trust her. If we don't let her go this time, she will definitely feel resentful.

"Anyway, the palace is heavily guarded and we can't do anything. Why not just let her follow? She can rest assured and so can we."

Shui Fu thought for a while and said nothing more.

"Let's go out for a walk."

Cui Hengyue took the two maids out and walked to Fengbo Pavilion.

"Yuan Niang, why did you come here again?" Shui Fu didn't understand. Cui Hengyue always walked to Fengbo Pavilion recently.

But in fact, the scenery in this area is not very good, especially in winter.

Cui Hengyue glanced around calmly: "I don't know, I guess it's because the scenery here is beautiful."

Shui Fu: "..."

Cui Hengyue seemed to have accidentally walked to the place where her father had fallen, and raised her foot to rub the ground.

It rained last night and the ground is not slippery today.

Is it because of running?

Thinking of this, Cui Hengyue took a few steps back, then suddenly accelerated and rushed forward, but he rushed several feet away without falling.

Cui Hengyue thought again, could it be because she has martial arts that she can't wrestle?

Shui Fu looked at it strangely and ran over with doubts on her face: "Yuan Niang, what are you doing? Are you practicing?"

"Yes." Cui Hengyue responded casually, her eyes falling on the rough servant girl not far away: "You, come here."

The maid looked up and realized that Cui Hengyue was calling her. She quickly put down the broom and ran over: "Yuan Niang, what are your orders?"

"You run along this trail to Fengbo Pavilion. You have to run faster." Cui Hengyue gestured.

The maid was confused, but she still obeyed the order and ran hard along the path to the Fengbo Pavilion.

Cui Hengyue followed her all the way, walking as fast as flying, without any martial arts, but without any wrestling.

"Okay, you go back to work." After Cui Hengyue rewarded her with a pair of earrings, he sat in the Fengbo Pavilion and stared at the path in a daze.

Did he really slip and fall accidentally?

Is she overthinking it?

Cui Hengyue changed her posture, holding her chin in her hands.

However, the mother insisted that it was her father who killed her brother, and her father later had evil intentions towards her. She would not lie, right?

What's more, Qionghua and Lin Jiang also think so.

If it was just accidental, there was no need for the old lady and the Duke to kill all the servants who knew about it, right?

Cui Hengyue was so lost in thought that she didn't notice that the man in gray clothes hiding behind the tree changed his expression and left in a hurry.
