After returning to Nuanchun Pavilion from the Yangxin Palace, the accompanying eunuch waited until the door of Nuanchun Pavilion was locked before returning to serve the emperor.

"My queen, I think that young eunuch is trustworthy. Why don't we get out of the cold palace?"

"Don't worry. I'm feeling uncomfortable right now, and I need to vent first." Hu Luanfei was very angry when he thought about the Queen's character. He immediately found an excuse to hide in the space and asked Liu Ruofeng to catch a few large rats and send them to him.

She has never been a stingy person. First of all, she will see who provokes her and provoke her a few times, otherwise she will not fight back.

It was a dark and windy night, and the cold wind blew through Beiqiuzheng's harem. Fengyi Palace was brightly lit, and the palace servants on duty pricked up their ears and looked around. If the visitor was not a martial arts expert, the slightest movement would have been immediately alerted.

Jiang Shi had been a thief for a few days before he was called down to work by Hu Luanfei. At this moment, he was like a beast that had just been released from a cage, and he wanted to slap anyone he disliked.

When the boy learned that he had to release fifty mice into Fengyi Palace, his mind suddenly became clear, his eyes widened in disbelief, "Are the tasks that the Queen sends people to do always so funny? Last time, she asked me to catch locusts, and the time before, she asked me to defeat the prince, and this time, she asked me to throw such a big mouse into someone else's palace..."

Jiang Shi's voice became lower and lower. He glanced at Hu Luanfei and saw her standing there, not saying a word but looking angry. Her temper was not much different from usual, but he always felt that the Empress was a little different from usual at this moment. He was stupid but couldn't figure out what was different.

Jiang Shi thought for a while and roughly understood: "Then, Madam, after releasing the rats..." He hesitated, took out a few strange books from his arms and handed them to him, "Do you want to throw this in a conspicuous place as well?"

Hu Luanfei glanced at it and was immediately shocked by the large words on the book. Jiang Shi was undoubtedly scolded by Le Yao behind his back. "So you have been hiding on the beams reading pornographic books these days. Brother Jiang Shi, you are so disgusting!"

Jiang Shi covered his sore spot and retorted: "I found it in the prince's study."

The sly Le Yao put on a naughty expression: "Have you seen it?"

Jiang Shi looked back angrily, "Who would watch such a lowly thing!" He asked again, "Would you?"

Le Yao smiled secretly, raised her feet, and moved closer to him, "Look, it's quite beautiful. Don't rush to throw her into the Queen's Palace, take a look for yourself. If you have a wife in the future, you can learn it without a teacher."

The more they talked, the more outrageous the situation became. Jiang Shi's face turned red and he couldn't refute a word Le Yao said.

Hu Luanfei couldn't bear to watch or listen any longer, so he pulled Le Yao behind him and said to Jiang Shi, "You can throw it, but you have to throw it on the Queen's bed. We'll wait and see how they make fun of us. Oh, and there's one more thing. After you're done, go find Xuanyuan Yuqing, and we'll meet at Zuihua Tower sometime."

"Yeah, I understand." He was unexpectedly fast.

“Is this guy really angry with me?” Le Yao took two steps after him and looked at Jiang Shi who disappeared from the roof in the blink of an eye. “My queen, we should pack up our things too.”

Hu Luanfei's things were all in the space, so he had nothing to worry about. Estimating the time when the queen would return from the Yangxin Palace, Hu Luanfei and Le Yao crossed the path on the stage, started from the back door, and returned to the Yangxin Palace.

They walked silently all the way, as if they were floating like ghosts. Occasionally, when they met a palace maid holding a lantern on the road, Hu Luanfei would just quietly slip into the rockery nearby. Only after the palace maid left would he quicken his pace with Le Yao.

The eunuch guarding the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation was yawning and standing guard in a daze. When Hu Luanfei arrived, the young eunuch stared at her for a long time with hazy eyes.

Hu Luanfei glanced at him and said, "Why don't you go in and report?"

Then, without waiting for her to say anything else, the little eunuch woke up from his sleepiness and immediately pushed the door open and entered the Yangxin Palace, not forgetting to close the door.

Looking at the tightly closed door in front of him, Le Yao scratched his head, "I think His Majesty will not refuse this time..."

Before she could finish her words, the eunuch came running out in a hurry, "Princess, His Majesty, His Majesty..."

"What's up with him?"

The young eunuch wanted to cry but had no tears: "Your Majesty, he, he..."

Hu Luanfei could no longer hold back his temper, so he stepped forward and grabbed the eunuch's clothes, shouting, "Your Majesty, what happened? Tell me!"

"Your Majesty is not in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity!" the young eunuch shouted as if he was ready to die.

"Huh? Are you kidding me?"

The young eunuch was also anxious. "I dare not. When the Empress left just now, His Majesty was still in the Yangxin Palace reviewing memorials. I saw it clearly. Then, I don't know when, when I went in to report again, His Majesty was inexplicably not in the palace, and then, the Empress is grabbing me and won't let me go!"

He thought, he was the first eunuch who was guarding the gate and failed to keep people from disappearing.

His Majesty is diligent and conscientious, and this kind of situation rarely occurs. He has been in the Yangxin Palace for so long, and he has never seen His Majesty deliberately avoid anyone... So he has always been very sure that His Majesty definitely does not like Princess Zhan, otherwise why would he not summon Princess Zhan to see her several times?

Hu Luanfei let go of the little eunuch and planned to push open the door of the Yangxin Palace to go in and verify whether King Beiqiu was not inside.

"Your Highness, you can't do that!" The young eunuch suddenly knelt down and hugged Hu Luanfei's legs tightly to prevent him from entering. "As the name suggests, the Yangxin Palace is a place for the monarch to cultivate himself and rest. If you trespass, the monarch will blame me for not guarding it properly. If I am blamed, losing my life will be a small matter, but it will be my fault if I implicate my entire clan. Please spare my life, Your Highness!"

The little eunuch cried with tears and snot, looking so pitiful.

No matter how angry Hu Luanfei was, he couldn't take it out on innocent people. He could only stamp his feet on the spot and turn around to leave.

At this moment, she was so angry that she could not help herself and said to the King of Beiqiu through the door, "I am also a woman of character. The Beiqiu Palace cannot hold me back. I will leave now!"

Hu Luanfei snorted coldly, shook off the little eunuch who had stained her skirt with snot and tears, and angrily returned with Le Yao the same way.

"My Lady, this is not the way back to Nuanchun Pavilion..."

"Go through the dog hole and leave the palace!"

"What?" Thinking she was hallucinating, Le Yao stopped and said, "You are a noble person, how can you be like a dog?"

Hu Luanfei asked Le Yao a question: "Would you rather be a bird in a cage or run away like a dog?"

Le Yao was speechless for a moment, and suddenly remembered the days when she was walking on thin ice in the palace. She immediately agreed with Hu Luanfei, "I still like to run wild outside."

The closer you get to the cold palace, the more desolate the atmosphere becomes.

The roadside was overgrown with weeds, and the scene was bleak. Even though the two men did not believe in evil, they were suddenly frightened by the earth-shaking sound of gongs coming from the harem.

What frightened them even more was that several figures flew out from the overgrown weeds in the cold palace and flew towards the Fengyi Palace. Among them, there was a figure that Hu Luanfei could vaguely see in the dim candlelight.
