Yong Si licked his fangs with the tip of his tongue. "As soon as Her Highness came ashore, they sent someone to investigate. They said she went to the stone painting boat to play and accidentally fell into the water. I don't know whether others believe it or not, but I don't believe it anyway."

He Cui brought four plates of snacks and fruits on a tray and placed them on the low table next to the Arhat couch. She picked up the teapot, but it was low, so she turned and went back outside to add more water.

Wu Qing followed the tray in He Cui's hand and saw that it didn't contain the fancy snacks she had eaten in the past few days. She called out to He Cui, "Is anyone over in the East Warm Pavilion?"

He Cui replied, "Yes, Xiao Luzi is at the door, so it should be His Highness the Ninth Prince."

Wu Qing said "oh", it seems that she won't be able to eat that snack today. It's light and delicious looking, but she still feels a little regretful.

Yong Si suddenly stood up and said, "I have something to go out for. I will talk to the girl when I come back."

"Go and get busy. You've been with me for so long..." Before Wu Qing finished her words, Yongsi had already left Xifeng Pavilion.

Wu Qing smiled, what an impetuous woman.

She didn't see it in the hall. He Cui went out to add water. She watched Yongsi go into the yard but didn't go to the west door. He went upstairs to the room. When she looked up, there was no trace of him.

He Cui had never seen such a scene before and was shocked. She hurried back to Xifeng Pavilion and said, "Sister, the guard just now walked out from the roof."

Wu Qing didn't understand what He Cui was surprised about: "Don't guards often go upstairs?"

He Cui: "Of course not. I see the guards almost every day. How can they just go up to the roof? There are cats on the roof, but they also got up there with a ladder. They don't have wings."

"Oh..." After hearing this, Wu Qing had a guess.

The original book said that Gu Shixin built a secret guard camp for Helian Hao. It is impossible that he trained the eight secret guards around Helian Hao. Could it be that others have them too?

So this girl with royal blood is a secret guard?

interesting!

This was not Yong Sixuan's fault. She only remembered that the west door was locked after she went out. The situation was urgent, so she chose to go from a higher place. If she climbed up the wall, she was afraid that someone in the west side hall on the other side of the wall would see her, so she turned around and climbed up the west surrounding room to climb out of Desheng Hall.

Yongsi came out of Desheng Hall and heard the sound getting closer. It was too late to stop the person from the front, so he had to run straight from the hall to the door of Desheng Hall, and finally blocked him at the corner.

Helian Han had already issued an order: except for the original eunuchs of Desheng Hall, no one else was allowed to approach Desheng Hall. With Helian Han's cold face and his majesty in the palace, Yongsi didn't believe that anyone would dare to disobey. What could have gone wrong?

There was no time to figure things out. Seeing that the standard six-man team was about to arrive at the main gate, Yongsi was not in a position to show up because not everyone in the palace knew about the existence of the secret guards.

She spun around sleekly, leaping off the wall on the other side of the corner. She was now behind the six people. She cleared her throat and said, "Ahem, Brother Qi? When did you come to the palace for duty?"

Qi Renzi knew who it was as soon as he heard the voice, but he was on duty at the moment, so why did the young lady come?

Everything that happened today is so weird?

Qi Renzi was also very confused today. He was on duty at the Prime Minister's Office, but he didn't see Helian Han all morning. He just came off duty and drank a sip of water when he got the news that Prince Yi would not come for a few days and would work in the east warm room of Desheng Hall.

I had this happen before when I changed places, but why did I wait all morning for the notification? I thought about coming over to see Helian Han and asking him if something happened in the palace and why the notification was delayed for such a long time.

I don't want to meet my aunt outside the Desheng Hall, especially in this way.

Firstly, my aunt doesn't let others see her easily, and secondly, she calls him brother, which is even more abnormal.

It goes without saying that something happened to Helian Han.

Qi Renzi came to his senses in the blink of an eye and immediately performed a martial salute, "Lord Yong, is there anything wrong?" The mere mention of 'Lord Yong' was enough to make his colleagues who were on duty with him dare not ask any more questions.

"Yes, there is something. Why are you here? Didn't His Highness order us not to stand guard at Desheng Hall?" Yong Si smiled as kindly as possible.

"Your Highness—have you given orders?" Qi Renzi looked at Yongsi doubtfully, seeking confirmation with his eyes.

Yong Si glanced back, "Get out!"

"Even if I got in the wrong place with the eunuch who informed me, since Lord Yong said so, I will go back and check it out." Qi Renzi didn't dare to say a word of objection in front of Yong Si, and immediately laughed it off.

After Qi Renzi and his men left, Yong Si quickly returned to the East Warm Pavilion and saluted, "Your Highness."

"What's the matter?" Helian Han didn't even raise his eyes, still looking at the memorial in his hand, but he was puzzled. What was Wu Qing up to? And why didn't she call the imperial physician if there was something wrong?

Yong Si shook his head. "I don't know who it was, but they told the guards on duty outside the Prime Minister's office to come over here. They just stopped them and sent them back."

"Alright!" Helian Han nodded. Qing He had clearly been taken away by the Grand Tutor, so it seemed they still had someone in the palace. "They're really reaching out! Let Xiu Si find out who has their hand on my nose."

Helian Han didn't feel well. He had a vague feeling that this matter was not simple. It was not difficult for a Di Kingdom spy to sneak into the palace and become a maid. But he could mobilize the imperial guards. Was this really the work of a spy?

*-*-*-*-*

Wu Qing got off the dragon bed, walked twice on the ground, and when she sat on the Arhat couch to rest, she casually opened the sketchbook that Yongsi brought her.

He Cui came back and asked, "Sister, what are you going to give His Highness tomorrow? Do you want me to tell Fengchenyuan to pick out a good pot and send it over?"

Wu Qing raised her head and shook it. "Sending flowers every day doesn't seem very original. Besides, I didn't take care of the flowers, so it feels a little lacking in sincerity."

It's not a big deal to ask for a few pots of flowers in the name of Desheng Hall, but the way this man pursues her is a little lacking in meaning.

In the past, when giving things to others, it either took time or money. There was no such thing as giving things to others without asking for them. Wu Qing couldn't adapt to this and decided to give something else instead.

The pricking sensation on her arm reminded Wu Qing of its presence all the time. She looked at her arm and decided to ignore it and do something to distract herself.

He Cui also looked at Wu Qing's arm and said, "What else can I give you? My hand is not healed yet, so please don't be so stubborn."

Wu Qing looked at the book in her hand. Folding a handicraft? But the paper used in this book, what should I say? It's a bit too soft, not suitable for origami.

Asking for help from the person in front of him, "Cui'er, is there any paper harder than this one used for printing books?"

He Cui stepped forward and touched the page. "It will become hard once you apply starch."

Wu Qing watched He Cui staring at the book in her hands, lost in thought. What a brilliant idea! Apply starch and then glue a layer of paper on it. It's so tough, it can be folded into anything!

Wu Qing's eyes lit up as she asked hurriedly, "Do you know how to brush? You need to apply an even layer of starch before sticking on another layer of paper."

He Cui nodded, "Yes, of course. Sister, don't you remember the lotus lantern Cui Er made? The petals are made just like this."

"That's great. If you are free today, please help me stick two double-layered papers together and let them dry. I need them tomorrow." Wu Qing sighed that it is good to have a mouth. If you don't know, just ask the natives.
