After the divorce, the four big guys became my servants

From that day on, Zhao Ge became a diligent and responsible palace maid in the Qiankun Palace.

This matter could not be concealed, so Yuan Jinglie carefully told the Jiang family. Even if he didn't say it, they could actually guess it.

Several people were worried about Zhao Ge, including Yuan Jinglie.

But on the surface, he could only tell them not to worry and that His Majesty would not hurt her.

Normally, Yuan Jinglie would find an excuse to go to Qiankun Palace, wanting to see Zhao Ge, but he was afraid that Yuwen Lian would become suspicious, so he did not dare to go in.

He only dared to stay outside and glance at her from a distance.

I also met with Zhaoge privately several times to ask her how she was doing.

"I'm fine. The usual work isn't tiring. I'm just serving tea and water to Your Majesty." Zhao Ge always smiled to reassure him.

But how could she know that this was not what Yuan Jinglie wanted to ask.

Having witnessed Yu Wenqi's bestial nature with his own eyes, he was very worried that she would encounter such harm again.

If Yuwen Lian was still a wise and polite king in his mind before, then after this incident, he felt that Yuwen Lian was worthy of being Yuwen Qi's elder brother.

Hidden beneath the gentle appearance are equally cruel means.

Yuan Jinglie has always been curious about why Yuwen Lian suddenly attacked the people around Zhao Ge.

After thinking about it, he thought of Liu Luoshu. When he went to find her, he did get the answer from her.

"I miscalculated. I originally wanted His Majesty to give up. I thought he would give in to you." Liu Luoshu said with great regret: "I didn't expect that His Majesty would..."

At the end, she fell silent.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Jinglie only chuckled sarcastically: "He is the emperor, how could he give in?"

"Anyway, I am sorry for you all." Liu Luoshu sighed, "If there is anything I can do to help you, just let me know."

Indeed, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she had screwed them.

So Yuan Jinglie didn't bother to be polite with her, "Help me find out where Meng Ruyuan is being held."

Liu Luoshu was stunned for a moment. This was indeed a bit difficult, but at this point, she could only reluctantly say: "...I'll try my best. Let's think of a solution."

After that day, she thought about it for half a month before she came up with a solution.

She asked a maidservant beside her to pretend to be infected with the epidemic and then spread the news.

Soon, people in the palace were in a panic, fearing that they would be infected with the disease.

At this time, the Internal Affairs Bureau would send people to burn moxa leaves in each palace and courtyard. Liu Luoshu would then send people to keep an eye on which palaces the Internal Affairs Bureau had visited.

At the end of the day, the young eunuch came to report to her.

"In the harem, today the eunuchs only sent people to the Empress Dowager's and your courtyard, saying that no one lives in the other palaces and gardens, so there is no need to burn them."

Liu Luoshu seemed to be thinking about something when he heard this.

It seems that Meng Ruyuan is not in the palace.

If she was hidden in the harem, His Majesty would definitely instruct the Eunuch Bureau to go to her residence and burn her body.

That day, Liu Luoshu sent someone to tell Yuan Jinglie about this matter.

When Yuan Jinglie received the message, his expression sank a little, and he turned around and went to Wujian Pavilion.

At dusk, the deep alleys are quiet and mysterious.

Previously, because of Zhao Ge's words, he made a decision, and later paid a heavy price and drew a clear line with Wujian Pavilion.

Now when I come again, I will be a guest.

He hired a killer from Wujian Pavilion to search the Wei Mansion.

When Shen Jing learned about this, he was so angry that his teeth itched, "What is he doing here?"

The subordinate told the truth, and Shen Jing dropped the brush and snorted coldly.

"How about I reject him?"

"Why not accept the money that's delivered to your door? Offer him double the price!" Shen Jing always believed that Yuan Jinglie used Wujian Pavilion as a springboard, so he held a grudge against him. Naturally, he would not be polite now.

But unexpectedly, Yuan Jinglie gave it very readily.

That night, the killer from Wujian Pavilion sneaked into Wei's mansion and searched it carefully.

Although he didn't find anything in Wei's mansion, he saw Wei Tingfeng going out at midnight.

Wei Tingfeng went to the house next door through the small door in the south wall. The killer followed him and saw a woman there.

So he immediately told Yuan Jinglie about this.

Yuan Jinglie didn't need to guess, he knew that it must be Meng Ruyuan who was hidden by Wei Tingfeng.

"Make an appointment for me to meet with Lord Murong, the Minister of Dali Temple." He thought for a moment and instructed Li Jing.

He couldn't wait any longer. For his sister's sake, he had to rescue Meng Ruyuan as soon as possible.

Murong Gu of the Dali Temple has always admired Yuan Jinglie and had shown goodwill to him many times in the past.

Now that Yuan Jinglie has taken the initiative to ask him out, he naturally would not refuse Yuan Jinglie's request.

Therefore, three days later, with Murong's order, Wei Tingfeng left Chai'an to investigate a salt smuggling case.

It was also on that night that Meng Ruyuan, who was hidden in the courtyard, finally regained his freedom.

He sent Meng Ruyuan back to the Jiang Mansion. When everyone in the Jiang family saw Meng Ruyuan, whom they had not seen for a long time, their eyes were red.

The family hugged each other and talked about their worries and longings during these days.

But after telling the story, new problems arise.

"My Lord, if you bring me out like this, what if Wei Tingfeng finds out?"

Yuan Jinglie didn't have time to think too much, and could only comfort him: "He dare not speak out. If he did, he would not be able to explain himself to His Majesty."

Then he said, "I have to go to the palace to reassure my sister."

Unable to wait a moment longer, Yuan Jinglie immediately entered the palace. After waiting outside the Qiankun Hall for a while, he saw Zhao Ge coming in with tea and snacks.

She seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

And she also saw Yuan Jinglie's figure.

She understood what he meant, and after a moment, she left the Qiankun Hall, making the excuse that she was not feeling well and wanted to go back to her residence to rest.

Although Yuwen Lian asked her to be a palace maid on the surface, he would not really treat her like a servant, so she agreed directly.

"Alie!" Zhao Ge and Yuan Jinglie met in a quiet corner and looked around vigilantly.

"Why are you here at this time? Do you have any news as you wish?"

The two of them seemed to have a telepathic connection. Yuan Jinglie lowered his voice and nodded, "Sister, I found Miss Ruyuan. She was hidden by Wei Tingfeng. I brought her back to the Jiang Mansion."

Zhao Ge was very surprised, and after being happy, he fell into deeper worry.

Because they all knew who caused Ruyuan's disappearance.

Did she not go and rescue Ruyuan early because she didn't want to? No, she didn't dare.

"But if Your Majesty knew..."

"Wei Tingfeng probably doesn't dare to tell His Majesty, and he won't be back for a while." Yuan Jinglie spoke very quickly, then pressed her shoulders, "Listen to me first, sister——"

He lowered his voice and said, "In the next two days, find an opportunity to lie that you have contracted the epidemic. Princess Huimin will help you to cover up your lie and get you out of this situation."

Liu Luoshu? When did he become close to Liu Luoshu?

But at this moment, the palace was full of eyes. She didn't have time to ask more questions, she just nodded to him with full trust: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
