Mistakenly entering the concubine's palace leads to a misunderstanding

At night, a man in black carried another man in black as they ran along the city wall of the palace. They stopped when they reached a palace.

Li Yanzhang put Zizheng on the ground and said, "Zizheng, you stay here and guard this side. I'll go in from the other side."

Zizheng asked, puzzled, "Young Master, why did you go in from the other side?"

Li Yanzhang said in a serious tone: "The storybooks say that you have to be unexpected to win with one blow!"

Then he left.

Zizheng was speechless.

So, young master, sometimes I'm really curious about what kind of stories you read.

Li Yanzhang lay on the other side of the city wall, puzzled.

That's strange, why does this place feel a little familiar?

He shook his head and said, "I guess all the palaces in the imperial palace are pretty much the same!"

Li Yanzhang jumped off the city wall, searched his body and finally found his pet rat. He put the rat on the ground and said, "Go! Diandian, remember not to leave anything behind."

Diandian obediently started to wander off. Seeing this, Li Yanzhang said, "Diandian is busy now, so I have to go too."

Li Yanzhang began searching for people throughout the palace. He looked around and saw that it was pitch black except for one room with a light on, so he headed towards that room.

When Li Yanzhang got close to the house, he heard the sound of water and panicked.

Princess Hye-min isn't taking a bath, is she?! What are we going to do?!

So he planned to paint a turtle on her face after she finished bathing. While waiting by the house, he heard someone inside say, "...This servant will go and fetch some more water."

He had only vaguely heard the previous part, but he clearly heard this one sentence. Then he heard someone open the door, close it, and leave.

Li Yanzhang pondered in his heart.

Wouldn't that make us a lone man and woman in a palace? It's not proper for a lone man and woman to be alone together in a palace. I need to maintain my integrity! No, should I come back another day?

Meanwhile, Zi was on guard when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps. A group of Imperial Guards were walking towards them in the distance, and he looked around in a panic.

What should I do? Young Master, how should I address you? If I call out to you, won't I give myself away?!

At this point, Zizheng could only try to find a place to hide nearby, but the surroundings were empty. Seeing that the Imperial Guards were getting closer and closer, he forced himself to climb onto the city wall, hoping to escape.

Just as Zizheng climbed up, the Imperial Guards arrived. He was so frightened that he dared not move. However, his climbing skills were really poor, and he only managed to climb up halfway. His other leg could only bend slightly. He prayed in his heart.

Please, please! You can't see me, you can't see me!

Suddenly, Zizheng heard a voice from below, "Wait!"

Zizheng was so nervous he didn't dare breathe, then he heard, "It's just a cat, let's go!"

Only after the Imperial Guards had completely left did Zizheng dare to catch his breath. Just as he was about to leave, he heard another voice shout, "Who goes there?!"

The voice sounded familiar, and Zi looked toward it, only to find himself staring right into the person's eyes!

It turned out to be Furong! Zizheng was so frightened that he let go and fell down.

Meanwhile, Li Yanzhang was leaping onto the city wall, preparing to leave, when he heard a shout, "Who's there!"

The owner of the room immediately came out and made eye contact with Li Yanzhang. Only then did Li Yanzhang realize that the owner of the palace was Consort Duan, Shi Yan!

Li Yanzhang's eyes widened in shock.

No way! How could I have gone to the wrong palace? This is definitely the way!

Thinking of this, he took out the map from his pocket and looked at it again and again.

Shi Yan was visibly stunned when she saw the man in black standing on the city wall, looking at the paper in his hand. But she could guess most of what was going on from his figure and demeanor.

Li Yanzhang looked at it for a while before realizing he had read the map upside down!

Shi Yan hesitated before calling out, "Young Master Li?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yanzhang immediately turned his head and said, "I'm not! I'm not Li Yanzhang!"

This is truly a case of trying to hide something obvious.

Shi Yan laughed and said, "Alright, I recognize you now, so stop lying to me and come down first."

Li Yanzhang felt somewhat embarrassed and had no choice but to leave.

Zizheng, after falling down and letting out a cry of "Ouch!", hadn't even gotten up when Furong grabbed his ear and said, "Tell me! What are you doing here so late at night?"

Although Zizheng's ears hurt, he still stubbornly said, "Don't pull my ears, you've mistaken me for someone else."

Furong ripped off his mask and said, "Do you think I'm wrong now? Zizheng, I could recognize you even if you were thrown out on the street like this. Now tell me what you're doing here?"

Zizheng said, "Let go first, then I'll talk."

After Li Yanzhang came down, he awkwardly waved to Shi Yan and said, "What a coincidence, Consort Duan, you're out admiring the moon too?"

Shi Yan smiled at him and said, "Yes, Young Master Li, how did you end up here admiring the moon? And you're even dressed in night clothes?"

After hearing this, Li Yanzhang scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Haha, the moon here is even more beautiful, bigger and rounder."

Shi Yan looked up at the moon and saw that it was indeed big and round.

She said, "It does seem to be big and round."

On the other side, Furong released Zizheng's ear, crossed her arms, and said, "Can you tell me now?"

Zizheng was extremely loyal.

We mustn't betray the young master!

So he said in a serious tone, "I've come to admire the moon!"

Furong rolled her eyes at him and said, "Make it up! Keep making it up! You've gotten this far with moon-viewing? Climbing the wall to admire the moon?"

Zizheng blushed slightly after hearing this and said, "This...this is the truth. The moon in the palace...the moon in the palace is more beautiful. I...I think I can see it more clearly from the city wall."

Furong looked unconvinced. She sighed and said, "Oh, Zizheng, if you can't lie, then don't lie. I'm embarrassed for you."

Zizheng blushed even more upon hearing this, and stammered, "I...I didn't lie!"

Furong didn't want to hear his lies anymore, so she grabbed him by the back of his collar and went to find Shi Yan.

As Zizheng walked, he said, "Miss Furong, could you please stop grabbing my collar?"

Furong said disdainfully, "Why make such a fuss?"

Despite saying that, she instead grabbed Zizheng's wrist. Seeing this, Zizheng said again, "Miss Furong, men and women shouldn't touch each other..."

Furong angrily threw a punch at him, saying, "If you cause any more trouble, see how I deal with you!"

Zizheng covered his head with one hand, while Furong held his wrist with the other. He asked, "Miss Furong, where are you taking me?"

Furong said impatiently, "I'll take you to find my mistress!"

Upon hearing this, Zizheng immediately panicked and exclaimed, "No! No! Miss Furong!"

Furong raised her fist and warned Zizheng with her eyes, "If you say another word, I'll beat you to death!"

Upon seeing this, Zizheng immediately shut up, feeling a sense of fearlessness at the prospect of death.

Young master, you've come to the wrong palace?! This is terrible!

Over here, Li Yanzhang touched his neck awkwardly after hearing Shi Yan's words. Then he glanced behind Shi Yan and saw that Dian Dian was being chased by a white cat. He was about to call out to Dian Dian when he saw Dian Dian running directly towards him.

But Shi Yan was right in front of Li Yanzhang! It was running towards Shi Yan!

Li Yanzhang reached out his hand to Shi Yan and said, "Be careful!"

He immediately put his arms around Shi Yan and turned her to the side.

Shi Yan was taken aback by the sudden embrace. Her heart skipped a beat as they turned around. After they regained their balance, their eyes met again.

Shi Yan was the first to come to her senses and asked, "Young Master Li?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yanzhang immediately pulled his hand away from Shi Yan's waist and explained, "Sorry, there were mice and cats behind you just now, they almost jumped on you."

Shi Yan nodded and said, "I see. Shi Yan thanks Young Master Li."

On the other side, Furong was walking ahead when she suddenly saw a white cat running towards her. But upon closer inspection, it seemed to be chasing something. She stopped and looked closely. Only when the cat got closer did she realize that it was chasing a mouse!

Upon seeing the mouse, Furong immediately screamed, "Ah! A mouse!"

Startled, she turned and pounced on Zizheng, pinning him down before he could react! Zizheng felt as if a little deer was pounding wildly in his heart.

Upon hearing the sound, Li Yanzhang and his companion rushed over. As soon as they arrived, they saw Zizheng lying on the ground with Furong on top of him!

Upon seeing this, the two turned around in unison and said, "We didn't see anything!"

Furong only realized what was happening when she heard Shi Yan's voice, and she immediately got up from Zizheng.

Upon hearing Li Yanzhang's voice, Zizheng immediately got up from the ground.

They immediately explained, "It's just a misunderstanding!"
