The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(179)

"My Lady, what are you looking at?"

"Princess Qing just left, I think..."

"My Lady, please go and have a look, the servants can't coax the little grandson any more."

"Then I'll go with you."

Yao Niang didn't delay any more and left with Xiao Anzi.

No one saw this scene from beginning to end, except the eunuch holding the bamboo pole.

The eunuch turned his head and looked at the backs of the two people, leaned the bamboo pole against the tree, and followed far behind. At first it was normal, but when he left this brightly lit place, this person's figure flashed and disappeared into the night.

Not far from here, by the pool, a group of noble ladies gathered in several places, some standing, some lifting their skirts and squatting, gathering in twos and threes, but it was the Mid-Autumn Festival that was indispensable to release lotus lanterns.

Lotus lanterns of different colors, carrying orange candlelight and the girls' good wishes, sailed away from the shore and floated away. Many lotus lanterns were floating on the water, and they looked very beautiful from afar.

"Ying'er, have you seen the seventh sister? Why haven't I seen her for a long time?" Wang Shuyan asked.

Wang Shuying shook her head and asked again: "Sister, why do you care about her?"

Wang Shuyan disagreed: "After all, she is my father's daughter and our sister. This is in the palace, not somewhere else. If something really happens, we can't get away from it."

A noble lady standing not far away seemed to hear them talking and said: "Are you looking for the seventh girl of the Wang family? I saw her going there just now."

Following the direction pointed by the woman, the two of them looked at a not very bright corridor.

When the two sisters came to Chengrui Pavilion just now, they observed the terrain around them. If they remembered correctly, it seemed to lead to the west of the Imperial Garden, which is the Fubiting Pavilion.

Wang Shuying pulled Wang Shuyan and found a corner where no one was talking: "Sister, if I'm not wrong, she must have gone to meet her lover in private."

Wang Shuyan hit her and whispered: "Don't say such nonsense."

Wang Shuying's eyes were burning, and she seemed very excited: "Sister, do you know that Dad said that her misconduct caused the princes to fight for her, and grandfather wanted to marry her off quickly to avoid bringing disaster to our family."

"Who did you hear that from?" Wang Shuyan looked suspicious.

"I heard it by accident when Dad and Mom were talking about it. I guess with her arrogance, how could she marry a little scholar? She must have made some plans to make it a done deal before grandfather married her off, and that person must be a prince. Let's go find her quickly and mess up her affairs, so as not to embarrass our family."

When Wang Shuyan heard that she was embarrassed for the family, she couldn't help but get anxious, and naturally ignored the strange light in her sister's eyes.

The two of them followed the corridor and found their way there.

Although there were glass lanterns hanging everywhere in the imperial garden, it was still a little dim because the rough wood was too lush. There were many places where the lights could not reach, and the shadows of the trees were looming, which looked a bit ghostly.

There were also too many strange rocks and trees in the imperial garden. It looked different in the daytime, but a little scary at night.

Yao Niang was a little frightened. She urged Xiao Anzi to walk faster all the way, turning her head back from time to time, looking very scared.

After walking around for nearly two cups of tea, they arrived in front of a small palace.

The palace was five rooms wide, with an altar in front of the door. The altar was made of stacked stones and planted with several crabapple trees. According to King Jin, when the crabapple flowers bloomed and the petals fell, it was like snowflakes falling in a colorful manner, so it was called Jiangxuexuan. Yao Niang therefore judged that she was not led to the wrong place.

From the outside, the lights were on in the palace. This Jiangxue Pavilion was originally a place for enjoying the scenery and resting in the imperial garden. Today, the emperor and empress were entertaining guests in the garden, so this Jiangxue Pavilion was naturally open to the public for temporary rest for drunk people. Yao Niang didn't bother to look more, and followed Xiao Anzi into a palace.

The room was very quiet, and it didn't look like there was anyone, but there was a screen in the middle, blocking people's sight back.

Xiao Anzi smiled and explained to Yao Niang: "Don't be afraid that the little emperor's grandson cried tired and fell asleep?"

Yao Niang hurriedly walked to the screen. Xiao Anzi had a smiling face, but suddenly he became a little ferocious. He picked up a vase next to him, walked behind Yao Niang, and planned to smash her head.

As soon as he raised his hand, he felt a black screen in front of him, and Yao Niang in front of him also dodged to the side. An Shiyi, dressed in eunuch clothes, appeared like a ghost, holding Xiao Anzi with one hand and taking the vase that slipped from his hand with the other hand.

Yao Niang breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and looked at An Shiyi: "Fortunately, I have you, otherwise I would not dare to follow him. What do you think he wants to do? What is His Highness planning to do?"

An Shiyi shook his head: "I don't know."

"Then let's see what happens and see what this person wants to do by bringing me here." It was also because An Shiyi was by her side that Yao Niang was skilled and bold. The King of Jin said before that as long as An Shiyi followed her, nothing would happen to her.

Yao Niang saw that the curtains next to the bed were hanging low, and there was a person hiding inside. If you don't look at it deliberately, others will definitely not find it, so she hid behind it. And An Shiyi's figure flashed, and no one knew where he hid.

There was no human voice, and it seemed very quiet everywhere.

After waiting for a while, there was a faint sound of talking and staggering footsteps.

The door creaked open, and a eunuch walked in with a drunk man. The drunk man was huge, and he could be recognized at a glance. It was the former crown prince, the current King Hui.

Yao Niang looked from behind the curtain, holding her palms nervously, but she couldn't help feeling cold in her heart.

This man was so vicious. He first lured her in and knocked her out, and then helped the drunk King Hui over. There was no need to think about what would happen next.

If she hadn't married, it would be fine. At most, she would have followed King Hui. But she was the concubine of King Jin and the mother of two children. This move seemed simple, but it was extremely vicious. Not only did he want to ruin her, but he also wanted to ruin King Jin's reputation and her two children!

So cruel!

Yao Niang was palpitating and angry, and she was eager to know who this man was. She would definitely pounce on him and tear him to pieces!

King Hui seemed to be very drunk. He was talking drunkenly and asked the eunuch to bring him water to help him take off his clothes. But the eunuch ignored him. He said perfunctory words, but left him here in a hurry and left.

The door was closed from the outside. King Hui cursed and walked crookedly across the screen towards the bed.

The short few steps made him walk in danger. After finally reaching the bed, Yao Niang heard a loud noise and the prince fell on the bed. After that, there was no movement.

The room became quiet again. After Yao Niang was angry and annoyed, she wanted to leave.

If nothing unexpected happened, the man's vicious plan would not work. If she hadn't been with An Eleven, if she hadn't believed that with the cautious character of King Jin, he would never let a stranger lead her away, she didn't know what she would become now.

Yao Niang didn't want to stay any longer, so she walked out from behind the curtain carefully and went to the door quietly.

She pulled the door and found that the other party had locked the door from the outside.

What should I do!

She was about to call An Shiyi, but suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, and hurriedly shrank back again.

The door opened from the outside, and Yao Niang looked out with bated breath.

The person who came was someone she didn't expect.

He was holding a woman in his hand. Yes, he was holding her. Anyway, when Yao Niang saw it, she was worried about the clothes on the woman. Being held like this, she didn't know if the fabric of the clothes could withstand such weight.

He carried the woman over the screen, and after coming in, he looked around first, and his eyes paused at Yao Niang. Yao Niang was about to go out, but he looked away, walked to the bed, and threw the woman on the bed.

Then, in front of her eyes, a strong and slender body squeezed in.

"What are you hiding here for?"

Chapter 140

After King Jin left, King An and others seemed a little bored because they lost the target to attack together.

After drinking the wine in the glass in one gulp, King Yong stood up.

"You sit down, I will go and relieve myself."

Just as Prince Yong left, Prince Lu also left the table.

He had drunk as much as Prince Hui and Prince Yong just now, and his body was also swollen. The brocade belt around his waist had been loosened and loosened. Seeing Prince Yong had left, he did not want to endure it for the sake of face.

The two of them left one after another, and Prince Lu did not see Prince Yong. He knew that if a banquet was held in the Imperial Garden, Lezhizhai and Jiangxuexuan would be open, and Jiangxuexuan was the closest to Fubiting Pavilion, so he walked towards Jiangxuexuan.

On the way, there were only strange rocks and trees with ghostly shadows. Although there were lights hanging every ten steps or so, it was still a little dim. Fortunately, Prince Lu was a big man and was not afraid of these.

Suddenly, a female voice was heard, which was a little fragmented by the wind.

Even though Prince Lu was skilled and courageous, he was frightened and listened carefully to hear that it was a woman's voice. If it were any other time, Prince Lu would have recalled all the ghost stories that were spread privately in the Forbidden City, but now he was emboldened by the wine and went to look for her.

After he went there, he found that she was a lost noblewoman.

"Whose girl are you, and why did you get here?"

Wang Shuyan had come out with her sister to look for Wang Defang, but they got lost while walking. When she turned around, she even lost her sister. She had to endure the fear and panic and walked forward. She didn't meet any palace maids or eunuchs along the way. Instead, she walked more and more remote. She was really scared and couldn't help but call for help.

Wang Shuyan was startled by the appearance of Prince Lu. She looked carefully and found that it was a person, not a ghost.
