Chu Youyang frowned, "What's the use of this thing?"

"Have you forgotten? How did we find Abei when we were in Fengyuan?" Chu Younan reminded.

Chu Youyang suddenly realized, "Are you talking about his method of using a ball of yarn?"

"Yes! Give him to me and I will ask him to take me to find the child."

Chu Youyang nodded and ordered someone to bring Gu Rui over.

Unexpectedly, Yu Chuan had only been gone for a while when he came back in a panic, "Your Majesty, this is bad, Gu Rui ran away without knowing when!"

“Isn’t there someone watching?” Chu Youyang stood up angrily.

Yu Chuan was terrified, "Someone was watching him, but no one saw when he ran away!"

Wow! Could it be that he can also become invisible? Chu Younan stood up and walked out with interest, "I'll go take a look!"

The autumn wind is bleak and the woodshed is leaking everywhere.

Sure enough, there was nothing inside, only a spider weaving a web in the corner.

It seems that there is indeed no one.

If Chu Younan could read Gu Rui's thoughts, he would definitely be able to detect that there was someone in the room. Unfortunately, one of the only two people whose thoughts he couldn't read was Gu Rui.

The security outside was tight, so Gu Rui naturally couldn't escape, but he set up a sleight of hand so that people couldn't see his presence.

After Chu Younan turned around and went out, the guards went to look for him, and then Gu Rui came out.

But what he was wearing was not ordinary clothes, but a maid's clothes. I have to say, with his looks, he looked quite good in women's clothes.

What crime had he committed, breaking into the Queen Mother's bedroom?

That is a serious crime and you can lose your head.

Can he just sit there and wait for death?

Of course not, he had to run! But before leaving, he had to see Queen Mother Mei again.

While everyone outside was looking for him, he sneaked out in his maid's clothes, with his head down so no one noticed him. But when he entered the Queen Mother Mei's courtyard, Xiu'er, who was beside the Queen Mother Mei, called him, "Xiang'er, did you get what the Queen Mother wanted?"

Gu Rui lowered his head and said in a deliberately low voice: "I got it."

"Then give it to me, I'll take it in." Xiang'er stretched out a hand.

Bring it? What? Gu Rui made up his mind and looked at her secretly. Just as he was about to knock Xiu'er out, he heard her giggle, "I knew you were confused. Here, give it to you."

As she spoke, she stuffed something into Gu Rui's hand.

Gu Rui breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the house with his head down. As he walked, he touched the thing made of cloth in his hand.

What the hell is this?

What do you want this for?

Bundle up? Pack your luggage?

He entered the room smoothly, but where was the person? "Did you bring it?" The gentle voice of Empress Dowager Mei came from behind the screen. It could be heard that she had recovered quite well.

Gu Rui hesitated for a moment, "Bring it...Bring it..."

Could it be that she was changing clothes? Would it be inappropriate for him to go over there?

"Bring it here and help me change it." Empress Dowager Mei said again.

Gu Rui responded randomly, but his mind was in a mess. What is this thing? It sounds like a piece of clothing? Whose clothes are made of cloth? How should I wear them? As he was thinking about it, he walked closer to the screen.

Although he was wild in his words, he was much more timid than Cheng Shi when he really encountered such a thing, for he was afraid that he would see Empress Dowager Mei in a disheveled state when he went over. If that really happened, he didn't know what to say.

"Are you ready?" Empress Dowager Mei's voice was very gentle, but to Gu Rui, it sounded like a devil's voice.

She's urging him again! He walked in with courage, and a stream of blood gushed out of his nose.

Behind the screen was a chaise longue, on which Empress Dowager Mei leaned, wearing thin clothes. After giving birth to three children, her figure was still charming, and her skin was as white as moonlight.

No wonder, she is not only naturally beautiful, but also pays great attention to skin care. At this moment, she is applying a mask made of pearl powder and milk on her face and eyes.

"Change, I have to go see the little princess later." Empress Dowager Mei whispered softly.

As she spoke, she lifted the veil on her body, and Gu Rui then knew what she was holding in her hand.

It seems... it's something women use when they have their period...

If he changed, he would have to expose her nakedness, but if he didn't change and ran away now, Empress Dowager Mei would definitely find out that he was a fake immediately and he might be caught again.

After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and decided... not to change it.

He had lived three lifetimes and was still a virgin. He had never been so close to a woman, not even holding her hand. He was afraid that he would die from excessive blood loss.

He wiped the blood from his nose, turned around and walked out.

"Xiang'er?" Empress Dowager Mei called again softly.

Gu Rui's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly became panic-stricken.

If he doesn't do it now, he'll be exposed! Xiu'er is still waiting outside! If Queen Mother Mei calls him, he will definitely be beheaded! As long as there is green, there will be no shortage of firewood!

Gu Rui gritted his teeth and set up an invisible formation as quickly as possible to ensure that when people looked from the outside, this place would appear to be empty.

Then he walked forward, holding his breath.

My heart felt like it was about to jump out of my throat.

My hands were shaking like sieves.

Fortunately, Empress Dowager Mei was already accustomed to being served, so she just cooperated at this time without even opening her eyes.

Gu Rui's collar was stained red with blood from his nose. He had never been so close to a woman in his three lifetimes...

After changing, he was about to leave with shaking hands, but suddenly heard Empress Dowager Mei say, "It's time to wash your face."

Yes, the mask is almost dry...

But after washing her face, she will definitely open her eyes!

What should I do? Gu Rui was so anxious that he was sweating.

My nose was bleeding profusely.

To fight or to run, that is the dilemma.

"Xiang'er...Xiang'er..." Xiu'er's soft call came from outside.

If you go out at this time, you will definitely be exposed!

Gu Rui had no choice but to quickly stick his head out from behind the screen. He knew how to enter and exit this formation, but others couldn't.

"Wait! I'm busy!" He said in a low voice and quickly retracted his head.

Fortunately, Xiu'er didn't see him.

Clean it! There is no other choice! He took out a towel from the basin beside him and was about to wipe it when he saw a plate of grapes on the table.

With an idea in mind, he ate two grapes, spit out the grape skins, then quickly wiped Empress Dowager Mei's eyes clean and put the grape skins back on.

It's warm and moist, and quite comfortable.

Empress Dowager Mei didn't say anything either.

Only then did Gu Rui feel at ease and boldly wipe the mask off her face.

Finally it’s done.

He then turned around and walked out. He didn't dare to go out through the door, so he climbed out through the window.

Behind the screen, Queen Mother Mei opened her eyes. She twisted two grape skins in her hands and looked at the direction where Gu Rui left for a long time without saying a word...
