Spring Forest Evening

"Where are you going!" Before Duke Hu had time to say anything, his wife frowned and stopped him: "Why did Ah Fu tell you just now?"

"Ma'am, listen to me," Zhou Heng quickly explained, "It's inconvenient for the Duke to go there alone. I think if there is me, of course, it's better to find someone from the palace to lead the way, so that it will be easier for us to go there." some, right?"

Fortunately, Shen Yi had educated herself about the science before, and outsiders, especially outside men, are strictly prohibited from entering the inner palace. The Huguogong and his wife must be aware of this. Just now, the Huguogong probably didn't expect it for a while.

Sure enough, when Zhou Heng said this, the couple fell silent. No matter how chaotic it was, this is a deep palace, and a foreign minister could not help but go if he wanted to. There was General Zhu, who was later apparently for the fourth prince, and was appointed by the queen to bring the imperial guards there.

Even though it was such a reasoning, Duke Protector didn't want to lose face in front of a little girl, so he made a resigned agreement and said:

"Forget it, since that's the case, you can go and have a look with me."

Mrs. Huguogong is also aware of it now, not to mention that this girl can't get away, even if she is the Duke of her country, at most, she will go to the Imperial Guard guarding the Taiye Pool and meet a few acquaintances. It was just to inquire about the news. In fact, neither of them could leave the limited range by the Taiye Pool, so they simply followed the words of her father-in-law and told Zhou Heng in a magnanimous manner:

"Remember what your lord said, follow the lord, and come back quickly if you can't make it through."

Seeing that the old and the young all agreed to leave, the lady protector didn't care, anyway, the two of them would be driven back by the imperial guards soon, so she sat down again and pricked up her ears Hearing the sporadic voices of discussion around him, to see how they view the so-called accidents in front of them one after another.

Speaking of which, it's fortunate that A Fu knew something about the situation in advance. Otherwise, if A Yi and the others, as well as a large family in his mansion, entered the palace, I would be in such a hurry right now. Right now, at least, my son and daughter-in-law The grandchildren and the second child are all sleeping peacefully at home...

While thinking about the family, Mrs. Hu Guogong casually listened to the specious discussions nearby. Sure enough, the Hu Guogong came back after a while, but there was no one else behind him.

Mrs. Hu Guogong was surprised. Ah Fu had repeatedly told her to take good care of the girl before, and had let her slip away by herself once before, so she couldn't help frowning and complaining about her husband:

"Why did you come back alone? What about her?"

Knowing that the girl said that her stomach was a little uncomfortable and asked the Huguogong to come back first, the Huguogong's wife was relieved, and asked about the situation of the imperial guards:

"Have you seen everything clearly? Since it is so strict, regardless of whether it comes in or out, it should be purged if you think about it..."

The two talked for a while, only to realize later that the girl who claimed to have an upset stomach still hadn't come back.

"It can't be..." Mrs. Hu Guogong immediately thought of a very bad possibility based on her gender, and her face changed. No matter how reckless this girl is, it is because she is worried about Ah Fu. If she really comes out because of this What's the matter, don't say anything else, it's very difficult for the couple to explain to Ah Fu!

"It shouldn't be..." The Duke Huguo was also a little worried. Originally, the Taiye Pool was bright and bright, and the lanterns were hanging everywhere. Later, something happened to the painting boat, and those festive red lanterns were taken down. Now the black lights are blind, and because of After the fire broke out twice, people's hearts were also a little confused. The guards around were somewhat from a family background anyway. When they saw a girl dressed as a maid, they were still alone. How could they know that they were not daring to act recklessly?

"No, I have to ask someone quickly!" Mrs. Hu Guogong is already in a hurry, girl, don't care how A Fu will react, if she is really ruined by some kind of embryo, then she will be in trouble for the rest of her life. It's over, while there is still a chance to get it back now, I have to make some noise quickly, maybe it can scare the color embryo.

"That's fine, let's just say that the maid in our mansion got lost." Duke Hu quickly agreed...

Zhou Heng, who was walking close to the wall, didn't know anything about the movement by the side of the Taiye Pool because a maid from the Huguo Gong's mansion accidentally disappeared.

She was just preoccupied with finding out the direction, for which she had to keep sniffing the burning breath in the air, keep looking up at the sky, and at the same time keep looking at the surroundings.

Fortunately, the palace is really chaotic nowadays, and the nights in ancient times were really dark enough. When carrying a pile of half-dried clothes torn from a tree by the Taiye Pond under the pretext of sending them to Prince Jing who was busy fighting the fire, Zhou Heng found that the defense of the Imperial Guard soldiers was not tight.

To be precise, now they are only guarding against those middle-aged men, and they don't care about maids like themselves at all.

Of course, it is also possible that it was because I played the signboard of the Duke of the Protectorate, and those soldiers of the Imperial Guard may have a little intersection with the Duke of the Protector by chance. After exchanging something, they silently waved their hands to let themselves hurry over, and one of them pointed in the direction.

It's a pity that it's the imperial palace after all, a huge place, although Zhou Heng thought he was going in the right direction, but now it's dark everywhere, and he's a newcomer after all, so he's a little flustered.

People are more likely to make mistakes when they are flustered, so when they walked around holding the clothes in their arms tightly, but found that they had entered a narrow passage with high walls in despair, Zhou Heng found that his body began to tremble uncontrollably .

This is the real inner courtyard of the palace. It is already an indisputable mistake for me to break in so rashly. If I walk around in disorder, who knows if I will be regarded as a gang of assassins and thieves?

That's shoot-to-kill, right?

Alas, back then, when I was following the gang of people in Zhongnan Road, I was flustered because I got lost. Now that I think about it, it's not worth mentioning!

There are common people's dwellings on the side of the road. In terms of danger, there are at most a few dogs, but with Chun Yu by her side, she knows kung fu...

Zhou Heng walked forward tremblingly, while secretly regretting in his heart, impulsiveness is the devil, I have been impulsive once before, and I have seriously reflected on it, but as soon as something happened, I became impulsive again, alas, mid-autumn night, please Have a safe reunion with Ah Fu!

Thinking of this, I cheered myself up again:

It doesn't matter, I'm just an ordinary maid now, and the name of Prince Shen Fujing's mansion should still be useful, now everyone in the palace is in danger, and they can't help but think twice before doing anything, thinking that they wouldn't kill such a weak woman like herself.

Thinking of this, I became a little more courageous, and continued to walk forward against the wall, anyway, this is the only way to go, I hope it is not a dead end...
