Chapter 521: Something Unexpected Happened in the Main Hall!

"Where are you going, Your Highness?" Seeing Chu Liuchen looking like he was going out, Xiao Xuanzi hurriedly put down the tray in his hand and asked.

Chu Liuchen, who was wearing a black mink velvet cloak, was not only black on the outside, but also a black robe on the inside.

Chu Liuchen turned around and went out.

"Your Highness, you can't go out today!" Xiao Xuanzi hurriedly chased for two steps. "Your Highness, you must have forgotten that the Queen Mother will send someone to see you later, and also ask the imperial doctor to come and take your pulse!"

"Just say that I have fallen asleep!" Chu Liuchen said nonchalantly.

Xiao Xuanzi's face turned into a ball of pain. If someone else had said this, it would have made some sense, but if the prince had said it, it was really wrong. After all, his grandfather had been "lying in bed" and slept during the day. , I also sleep at night. In fact, there is no distinction between day and night. I may not be able to fall asleep at night, so how can I fall asleep?

"Sir, the Queen Mother said that this imperial doctor has very good medical skills. Have you forgotten? She also said that the emperor also approved of this imperial doctor's medical skills and specially asked him to come over and see yours!"

Xiao Xuanzi tried his best to persuade.

This matter cannot be taken lightly. If it were just the Queen Mother, my father would be more willful, but wouldn’t there be an emperor? Listening to the Queen Mother’s wishes that day, the emperor was also paying attention to what happened this time. If my father went out , how can this be done!

"No problem, just say that the king is asleep, no one is allowed to disturb him, and let him come tomorrow!" Chu Liuchen waved his sleeves and continued to walk out.

"But...but..." Xiao Xuanzi stuttered and was speechless.

"What's that? Could it be that this king is not allowed to sleep!" Chu Liuchen narrowed his eyes, glanced at Xiao Xuanzi with a sinister look, and strode away.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..." Xiao Xuanzi called a few more times from behind, helplessly watching His Highness leave, then stamped his feet heavily, turned back and hurriedly went to find Doctor Qi to find a way, if he couldn't let the Queen Mother send him The imperial doctor was satisfied and had to find a more reasonable explanation.

Night fell and the lights were lit. Shao Yanru had just had dinner with Shao Wanru. She looked at the night outside, took a handkerchief and gently wiped the water on the corners of her lips, and said with a smile: "Five Sister, look it’s almost time, let’s go!”

"Sister... I think it's better not to go!" Shao Wanru hesitated, with a pair of watery eyes showing a bit of uneasiness. He picked up and put down the handkerchief in his hand, which showed that he was really uneasy.

There was a hint of ridicule in Shao Yanru's slightly lowered eyes, but when she raised her head, she was calm and decent, looking at Shao Wanru as if she were a willful child: "Fifth sister, everyone has already made an appointment, now we are here." With the help of the gentleman from the Ministry of Punishment, you will be able to reach the mountain, and you will not be able to say anything anymore. If Mr. Qi gets angry and insists on rushing in, it will be more likely to cause trouble!"

If she had known that Shao Wanru might regret it, when Shao Wanru asked her to help deliver the message, she did it immediately. What she was afraid of was that Shao Wanru would regret it. In this situation, Shao Wanru couldn't regret it even if he wanted to.

Hearing the faint threat in Shao Yanru's words, Shao Wanru looked very embarrassed. He circled the handkerchief around his fingertips several times, then put it down again and lowered his head. He didn't say whether he wanted to leave or not. I can see that I haven't been able to make up my mind.

"Okay, fifth sister, go take a look. If you find something is not right, it's not too late to come back!" Shao Yanru stood up, reached out and pulled her arm, pulling her up.

"Just take a look first, let's not move!" Shao Wanru stood up, his eyebrows still furrowed.

"Okay, let's take a look first and come back if we find anything unusual. Others won't know we've been out unless they notice us."

Shao Yanru gave Shao Wanru another reassurance.

"Then, okay, let's go over and have a look!" Shao Wanru nodded helplessly. Things have come to this point, and it seems unreasonable not to go.

The two of them each took a maid and quietly went to the front yard of Yuhui Nunnery.

The people from the Punishment Department are now guarding in front of Yuhui Nunnery. There are many simple sheds built in that area. Some large Buddhist temples are in the front part. Only the incense room, Zen room and other living places are in the back of Yuhui Nunnery.

Shao Wanru lives closer to the back mountain, and there are many places he has to pass along the way.

The agreed place was in a smaller Buddhist temple. Originally Yuhui Nunnery was closed at night, but because the people from the Punishment Department were guarding outside, Yuhui Nunnery was not closed at night. Some chief officials would find a Buddhist temple at night. After all, the lights inside are much better than those simply set up outside, and some Buddhist temples have Buddhist lamps on all night.

Both of them put on a hooded cloak outside and covered themselves up in it. Taking advantage of the darkness, Shao Yanru led the way, and Shao Wanru followed behind, quietly avoiding several people they encountered on the road. People from the Punishment Department came to the outside of Yuhui Temple.

The Buddhist temple they chose was not big, just at the corner near the front. Because it was too small, the Buddhist lanterns were not on, and only the outline of the temple could be faintly seen through the lights on the road.

"Fifth sister, you go in now. I'll be waiting outside. If anything goes wrong, just call me and I'll come in right away!" Shao Yanru turned to Shao Wanru and whispered in a low voice, pointing at the half-closed Buddhist hall. "Master Qi should have arrived. This Buddhist temple will be closed if no one is around at night."

"Sister, I'd better not go!" Shao Wanru hesitated again.

"It's already this time, why are you still hesitating? Go ahead and tell him clearly. You will be the young lady of Duke Xingguo's mansion from now on, and even if he is the third most popular person, he won't be able to catch up with you. But you can go in for a shorter time. Just say it in a few words, don't talk to him too much."

Shao Yanru said with a concerned look on her face, and gave a few more instructions to be more sincere and sincere, as if she was sincerely thinking about Shao Wanru.

"Then, okay!" Shao Wanru seemed to be forced here and had to go in. His footsteps moved slightly and he moved forward. Qing'er hurriedly followed.

"Why did she bring a rough little girl here?" Shao Yanru asked Shuqi in a low voice when she saw that Shao Wanru was not bringing two big maids, Yu Jie and Qu Le.

"I don't know. I just paid attention to the fifth young lady and didn't pay attention to who was following the fifth young lady!" Shuqi also shook her head. The eldest lady only asked her to be careful not to let the fifth young lady run back halfway. It's true. She didn’t notice that the person following Shao Wanru was actually the maid Qing’er, “Maybe the fifth lady doesn’t want others to know about this kind of thing, even the maid who is close to her, Qing’er must be someone who doesn’t understand anything. Little maid, Miss Fifth may feel more comfortable taking her with her!"

Shao Yanru curled her lips mockingly, saying in one word, "stupid". Instead of having a personal maid who is loyal to her to follow her, she would instead find a rough little maid who doesn't understand anything.

However, the stupider Shao Wanru is, the better it is for him. He originally thought that after the incident, Shao Wanru's maid would definitely help Shao Wanru defend himself. Now, it's better. A little maid is easier to deal with than a big maid who has seen many things in the world. Much more, but Shao Wanru was extremely happy with this move.

"Have all the people over there been summoned?"

"Don't worry, eldest lady, I have hinted to the lord before that the fifth lady may have a tryst with the eldest son Qi here. I believe she will come over soon." Shuqi said with a smile.

The eldest lady sent a letter at that time. After all, there must be some words that cannot be conveyed directly. It is best to send a letter, and this letter was written in the tone of the fifth lady. As for the person from the Ministry of Justice who conveyed the message, He hinted a lot, almost telling all about the time and place of the tryst.

In addition, it was hinted that the fifth young lady was very arrogant in the past, scolded or scolded the eldest lady, and did not regard the eldest lady as a biological sister at all. In the past, she also asked the eldest lady to help her send letters of private meetings to other men. This time it is the same again. Whether this official from the Ministry of Justice is venting his anger for Mr. Qi or for the eldest lady, he will definitely take someone to go and ruin the "good deeds" of the fifth lady and make the fifth lady lose face. .

Shao Yanru nodded with satisfaction and looked at the palace door with burning eyes. Shao Wanru had already disappeared from the palace door. The palace door suddenly became quiet. Suddenly, a woman's low scream came from the palace, although it was not loud. , but it clearly fell into Shao Yanru’s ears, and she couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.

"Miss... what is this sound?" Shuqi trembled and asked anxiously after hearing it.

In the darkness, Shao Yanru shook his head silently, staring closely at the slightly closed door of the palace, and frowning tightly. Logically speaking, such a sound should not be made at this time. Could it be that there was an accident?

The palace door suddenly pushed aside again, and a black figure appeared in front of the door. It seemed to be a man. He waved in the direction of Shao Yanru, then turned and entered the hall.

"Miss, this...this..." Shuqi lowered his voice and said in panic. The matter was beyond their imagination. Could it be that there really was an accident, and Mr. Qi came to the door to invite the eldest lady to discuss it?

At this time, the only one who knows that the eldest lady is here is Mr. Qi!

"Let's go and have a look!" Shao Yanru thought about it a lot, and then made up his mind. When the time comes, he will not fail.

The two people came to the entrance of the palace one after another and looked at the dark hall. Shao Yan stopped cautiously and looked back at Shuqi.

"Master Qi, are you here?" Shuqi asked in a low voice.

"Come in!" A voice came from inside. It was a little far away and low. It seemed a little dark and a little urgent. Maybe it was too soft and I couldn't hear Qi Tianyu's voice clearly.

However, it is certain that it is not a female voice, it should not be the voices of Shao Wanru and maid Qing'er.

"I'll go in and take a look. You'll stand guard at the entrance of the palace. If anyone comes, come and report it to me!" Shao Yanru warned cautiously. Someone would come soon, and she had to let Shuqi keep an eye on them.

After giving instructions, he gently opened the door and walked in slowly...
