Liu Jingcheng finally caught up with Hua Xiyu after dark. He put on a mask and hid in the dark. "What's going on?" Eunuch Defu, who was beside his father, was actually following Hua Xiyu. At this moment, he immediately realized that something had happened in the palace, otherwise Eunuch Defu would not be here.

Being in this kind of environment for many years, Eunuch Defu must have known a secret that could cost him his life by just seeing a small part of it.

No wonder someone shot arrows into the river when they were by the river. It turned out that they were shooting at De Fu.

Hua Xiyu and the old man lit a fire and toasted the dry and hard cakes. Although they were hard to swallow, they had to eat them. Being hungry is not a pleasant experience.

There were actually boiled eggs in the dry food prepared by Ma Biao. Boiled eggs! Hua Xiyu didn’t know why she was so resistant to eating eggs, but she just didn’t want to eat eggs. She wanted to vomit when she smelled the smell of eggs.

Eunuch Defu got a great bargain. He ate the eggs and left the dry and hard cake for Hua Xiyu.

"Uncle, can you tell me your name now?" Hua Xiyu handed him a piece of chocolate and put one in his mouth.

From the moment they met, the old man only said four words, "Don't make a sound" and "Go." Hua Xiyu was the only one speaking the whole time, like a one-man show. If he hadn't spoken, she would have thought he was a mute.

De Fu has been observing Hua Xiyu for a long time, ever since he decided to swim across the river with her to take a gamble. Only now has he had the chance to observe her carefully. The makeup on the girl's face has long been smudged, because she has short hair and wears a strange hat, and her wet clothes have long dried. He didn't expect that there would be such a woman in the Kingdom of Nanyue.

He couldn't see through her background, and didn't dare to talk to her casually. Now he could only keep his head down and stuff the food she handed to him into his mouth. Only when he was full would he have the energy to think about the future. Without his body, everything would be in vain. He knew this better than anyone else.

The smell of chocolate made him raise his head. What was this? Such a strange smell.

"Chocolate can quickly replenish your physical strength." Hua Xiyu knew what he wanted to ask and gave him a direct answer.

Since he didn't say anything, she didn't bother to pay attention to him. She had already brought him out, and she didn't plan to care about him for the rest of the journey. Let them escape for their own lives. They should be far away from the palace now, so their lives can be safe.

"Uncle, I have to go home, and it's not convenient for me to take you to my hometown, so we will part ways tomorrow and go our separate ways." She only kept the horse's food for herself, and packed the rest and gave it to the uncle.

She hated eggs, and the pancake was as hard as a rock. She wouldn't eat it even if she had it with her, so she was happy to give it away generously.

"We'll say goodbye at dawn. Now drink some water and get some rest." She unscrewed the lid of the thermos, poured a glass of water and handed it to him.

De Fu took the water without hesitation and drank it all, then lay down by the fire with his clothes on and prepared to go to sleep.

Hua Xiyu didn't want to sleep on the ground, so she used a steel rope to wrap a hammock around a tree, covered it with branches in the middle, and spread the clothes prepared by Ma Biao on it. She lay leisurely on the hammock and started to browse her phone.

Oh, I miss the two little dumplings a little. I wonder if they will be disappointed when they return to the meeting place and don’t see anyone. But what can I do? I have to go back to my home.

She quickly comforted herself, I didn't mean to lie to the children, I just wanted to make them happy. She called up the recording, but unfortunately the earphones were left for Xiaotuanzi, and she couldn't play it out loud in front of the old man, so she had to bear it. She thought those things had nothing to do with her, so she quickly took a rest and tried to get to Muduo Town tomorrow.

She set up an infrared warning zone for herself. As long as someone approached, her phone would sound an alarm. The range of ten meters was enough for her to deal with it. After doing all this, she soon fell asleep peacefully.

Liu Jingcheng watched her fiddle with her cell phone. Although he didn't know what she did with her hands, when he saw her throwing it out with a branch and the cell phone making a beeping alarm, he keenly knew that he couldn't get close to that area.

He asked Yiqi and Jie'an to cut some branches, and connected them together to form a long pole. After Hua Xiyu fell asleep, he tried to poke Defu with all his strength.

Defu was awakened by the poke and instinctively wanted to run away. However, when he saw the note on the stick, he realized that his savior had really come this time.

Debao, Defu and Quan, the three have been with the emperor since they were young. They went from being an unpopular prince to ascending the throne and becoming emperors. They also went from being little eunuchs who could be bullied by everyone to being the eunuch chiefs today.

The three of them were all favorites of the emperor, each in charge of the affairs of the palace. Even the prime minister had to bow to them when he saw them. Although they were servants, they were servants of a certain rank.

The emperor only brought Debao and Dequan on this autumn hunting trip. Not many civil and military officials went with him either. He was arranged to stay in the palace to cooperate with the minister in charge to handle the internal affairs of the palace.

Just this morning, not long after the Osmanthus Feast in Prince Xuan's Mansion began, he went to the Qinzheng Hall as usual to fetch the memorials left by the Prime Minister. These memorials were divided into several categories. Those that the Prime Minister could handle would be handled directly, but a copy would be kept for the Emperor to see. Those that the Prime Minister could not make a decision on would be picked out as urgent, and then Defu would take them away and place them on the Emperor's desk. The Emperor's secret guards would deliver them to the hunting ground every day for the Emperor to review.

He went there late today. As the saying goes, there are no tigers in the mountains, so these monkeys were naturally a little lazy. He put the sorted memorials into the basket and walked back. Not long after he walked, he remembered that he saw a figure swaying in the Qinzheng Hall just now. He was worried and decided to go back to take a look.

He took a shortcut and entered through the side door. All the doors of the Qinzheng Hall were open and the eunuchs inside were doing their daily cleaning. No one noticed his arrival. Then he heard something. Pan Yaojun, the eldest son of the Pan family, was sitting on the Dragon Tower, the queen was sitting on one side, and the aunt and nephew were talking.

The queen said, "I told him a few months ago that the bitch might be in Shuiyue Temple."

The Queen felt a little uncomfortable when she saw her nephew sitting on the dragon throne with such smug look on his face. Even though the old emperor was dead, the chair should belong to her son, and they should treat her son's dragon throne with the utmost respect. But at this moment, she had to suppress her unhappiness, as she had to vacate the chair first before proceeding.

"No action has been taken for so long, I guess they don't believe it."

"Aunt, don't be careless. Our emperor is the most patient one." Young Master Pan turned around on the dragon throne, caressing everywhere with his hands, imagining himself sitting here high above in the future, listening to the cheers of "Long live the emperor" from below. That feeling was truly wonderful.

Seeing his aunt looking a little unhappy, he immediately restrained himself and stood up from the dragon throne. "I have received news that the emperor is planning to go to Shuiyue Temple in disguise. I have arranged for people to lead him to the road we designed."

"Does your father know that my Yu'er is also in the hunting team?" She didn't care about killing the old emperor, as long as her son was safe.

"Don't worry, there is no need for us to take action. Auntie, have you forgotten King Kang of Nanjiang? He has been rebelling for many years and will never give up this opportunity." The message has been sent to King Kang, and the Pan family army has dispatched people to wait for the final blow and take advantage of the opportunity.

"If Prince Kang fails, we will rescue him. If Prince Kang wins, we will kill the traitor. In short, no matter who wins or loses, we will not suffer any loss." Young Master Pan bowed to his aunt and prepared to leave.

"By the way, are there any problems with those memorials?" the queen asked again.

"Don't worry, the poison on those memorials is very mild. It will not be detected in a day or two, and it will not be exposed."

Defu covered his mouth, afraid of making any noise, and tried to hide himself quietly. However, the two eunuchs who were cleaning had already finished the outer part and were coming towards him. When they saw Defu, they immediately shouted, "Eunuch Defu, you are still here."

De Fu understood immediately that all the eunuchs here had been bribed. It was human instinct to escape. De Fu did not care about the memorials in the basket and quickly escaped along the path he was familiar with.

By the time Master Pan realized that someone was eavesdropping, Defu had already escaped several hundred meters away. Relying on his familiarity with the terrain of the palace, Defu quickly escaped from the palace.

After leaving the palace, he was in a panic and got into a carriage when he saw one. The coachman thought it was his master who got in the carriage, so he didn't even look back and drove straight to Prince Xuan's palace.

De Fu searched the carriage, mostly women's spare clothes, and finally found a set of men's clothes. He quickly changed into them and slipped out from the back before the carriage stopped.

He had nowhere to go, with Pan Yaojun and his men chasing closely behind him. He fled along the Yanshui River and entered through the side door of Prince Xuan's Mansion. He did not dare to go to crowded places and jumped directly off the river bank. He wanted to catch his breath and rest, then he saw someone jumping directly from the Diaoyutai.

Pan Yaojun and his men followed his trail and quickly tracked him down to Prince Xuan's mansion. However, they could not look for him openly and could only do so in secret, which gave Defu a chance to escape.

Of course, if he hadn't met Hua Xiyu, he wouldn't have been able to escape in the end.

After Defu told Liu Jingcheng what had happened, he was still frightened. After a day of tense escape and soaking in the water for more than an hour, the old man's body could not take it anymore and he started to have a high fever.

Defu cannot show up again until the Pan family issue is resolved.
