A piece of Japanese incense

"I have made a great discovery!"

As soon as I stepped into the house, I immediately locked the door tightly, pulled Yutuan and Yuyi together, and announced excitedly.

"What discovery? Tell us quickly!" Yu Tuan couldn't contain his excitement and asked anxiously.

"That little Xizi had followed Princess Yan to the Girls' Academy before. It was the time when we threw the cakes into the pond. He was at the end of the team with his head down."

"Oh, he must be here just to join in the fun."

"Well...you have a photographic memory, which is always the best. But...it's been so many days since the incident. How can you be sure that Xiao Xizi is the one who followed Princess Yan?" Yu Yi asked.

"Besides, he is just a little eunuch. Isn't it natural for him to serve anyone?"

After hearing what they said, I felt that it made sense. I thought it was pointless to pursue the issue further, so I just put the matter aside for the time being.

Before the hour of Hai, Yuyi and I arrived at the Xianfeng Pavilion.

It was late at night, the stars and the moon were dim, and the dark palace became even more deserted. Only the lantern in Yu Yi's hand was emitting a faint light in the night. The tassels hanging from the bottom swayed gently in the wind, casting a shadowy shadow on the nearby flowers, plants and trees.

"I should have known not to come so early. It makes people anxious waiting."

"Girl, how about we ..."

"Boom! Boom!" the night watchman rang out.

"Girl, it's time for the second watch."

"Well, just wait."

After waiting for a long time, just when we decided to leave Xianfeng Pavilion, we heard a series of footsteps coming.

We hid behind the rockery and I used my cloak to block out the light from the lantern.

Xiao Ke walked to the steps leading to the pavilion and called out twice in a low voice: "Miss Zhi! Miss Zhi!"

"Girl, it's Xiao Ke who's here!"

We walked out from behind the rockery.

"Xiao Ke, why are you here just now? The girl and I are leaving soon."

Xiao Ke bowed down and bowed respectfully: "I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

"It's okay! Get up quickly. How are you? Are you still feeling dizzy and nauseous?" I said as I shifted my gaze to the person behind him.

The man was wearing a black cloak, which almost made him invisible in the dark night. The wide brim of his hat covered most of his face. She took a few quick steps, came in front of me, and knelt on the ground: "Greetings to Miss Zhi."

I was eager to help her up. The voice was indeed very familiar. I said in a confused tone: "You are... Xiaohan?"

"What?" Yu Yi screamed in surprise.

"Miss Zhi is so smart." She said in a cold tone and lifted her hat. Yuyi moved the palace lantern closer to her face. The candlelight shone on her profile. Her face was as cold as ice, her eyebrows were cold, and she looked up at me.

"Why...it's you? Xiao Ke, who is she to you? What's going on?" Yu Yi asked worriedly.

"You get up first. The ground is very cold." I bent down to help her.

She held my arm with her backhand and bowed her head to answer: "Xiao Han has done something wrong to Miss Zhi. I am ashamed to ask for your forgiveness. I can only... can only... Xiao Han kowtow to Miss Zhi first."

After saying this, she was about to lower her head to the ground.

"Hey! Come on! Is it about the midge? Get up first and explain yourself clearly."

Her expression changed involuntarily and she fell to the ground.

Xiao Ke hesitated, and Yu Yi said sternly: "It's really you! Why did you harm my girl? What is the relationship between you two?"

"Miss Zhi, this has nothing to do with Xiao Ke! I did it all by myself." Xiao Han hurriedly explained.

"I know that Xiao Ke was ordered to kidnap Miss Yuyi in order to lure Miss Zhi to Xianfeng Pavilion. After that, I never saw him again. However, Miss Zhi appeared in the young lady's courtyard safely. And the next morning, I saw Miss Zhi going out wearing eunuch clothes. I thought... I thought..."

"Do you think it was our girl who murdered Xiao Ke? So you murdered our girl?" Yu Yi couldn't help but ask.

I couldn't help but laugh, "You have a very rich imagination."

"Please forgive her, Miss Zhi. She was just worried about me. I told her that you saved me, and she regretted it so much. Please forgive me, Miss Zhi."

Watching the two of them kneeling on the ground and kowtowing continuously, Yuyi tugged at my cloak, shrank her neck, and only called out in a muffled voice, "Girl."

I calmed myself down and waved my hands casually: "Alright, alright, it's all over, let's not talk about it anymore!"

The two men were still timid and knelt for a long time.

"You called me here in the middle of the night just to see you kneeling, right?" I said a little impatiently.

Xiaohan paused for a moment, then spoke hesitantly: "Miss Wakaeda, if you don't mind, please help me, please."

"How dare you say that?! You can even plot against my girl, so why do you need my girl to help you?" Yu Yi said unhappily.

I leaned towards Yuyi and said calmly, "Yuyi, if they want to kneel, let them kneel. Give the things to Xiaoke, and we'll go back now."

I picked up the palace lantern on the ground, Yuyi threw the package to Xiaoke, took my arm and walked out.

"Miss Zhi!"

"Miss Zhi, my sister is being humiliated every day in the 'Qianyanfang' outside the palace. Please save her!" Xiaohan said sobbingly.

He turned around and stopped immediately.

Xiaohan saw me stop and continued, "That day, I didn't mean to expose Miss Zhi, but I had to gain Fang Juexia's trust, so I had to confront Miss Zhi. It was also my fault for putting spring insects in Miss Zhi's clothes! If Miss Zhi wants to vent her anger, just beat me. I have no complaints!"

"Why don't you go and ask your master for help? Why are you coming to our girl?" Yu Yi asked.

"She... is the one who sold my legitimate sister to 'Qianyanfang'... and my two half-sisters are still in their mansion. I... really have no other choice, so I shamelessly come to beg Miss Zhi. Please have mercy on my sister. She has been extraordinary and aloof from the world since she was young. Now, Fang Juexia is threatening us with the lives of our brothers and sisters. She must be living a life worse than death every day. Miss, you have a huge fortune, please save my sister from the sea of ​​suffering. I will work like a slave to repay your kindness!" Xiaohan burst into tears.

"All of you, stand up! Tell me what's going on! If you keep kneeling like this, I'll leave immediately!"

Xiao Ke stood up first and carefully helped Xiao Han up. Probably because they had been kneeling for too long their legs became weak, and both of them swayed uncontrollably, staggered, and fell to the ground again.

I chuckled, and walked forward with Yuyi to help them both up.

Xiaohan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He lowered his head and used his cloak to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

We found a rockery with peaks and hills. Xiao Ke placed the package safely on a small stone and invited me to sit down. Yu Yi extinguished the candle and listened to Xiao Han telling her story.
