Chapter 31 Eavesdropping

The eunuchs of Qiluan Palace, by some unknown means, brought some toys that children from the folk liked to play with into the palace. Recently, Li Dingning's mind was almost completely occupied by those toys brought from the folk. He didn't pester Chu Ran to tell him stories, but just studied how to solve his nine-linked ring all day long.

This also means that Chu Ran has more free time.

While Li Dingning was concentrating on solving the Nine Rings Puzzle, Chu Ran took the time to walk around the Qiluan Palace.

He was bored, so he just wandered around aimlessly, all the way to the side room at the very corner of Qiluan Palace. There was no way forward, and there was a wall ahead. Chu Ran planned to turn around and go back.

However, when he was about to turn around, he vaguely heard a faint sound coming from the next room.

"Just do as we say...don't worry...we'll protect you."

It feels like something is being plotted.

Chu Ran had intended to move closer and listen carefully, but before he could take two steps forward, he heard footsteps coming from the ear room. Chu Ran was startled, and he didn't know where to hide. He felt that he would be discovered no matter where he hid. It was too late, and the door of the hall that separated the two rooms happened to be ajar. Chu Ran didn't care about it and quickly pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as he closed the door, a eunuch came out from the next room.

Through the crack in the door, Chu Ran pulled at the door leaf and looked out carefully.

strangeness.

Although he could only see the back, Chu Ran felt that it looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

But he is definitely not from Qiluan Palace.

Chu Ran basically knew everyone in Qiluan Palace. If someone was from Qiluan Palace, Chu Ran would definitely be able to recognize him or her at a glance.

If he didn't recognize it, then it means it's not him.

At this moment, another eunuch in the door also walked out quickly.

When the little eunuch left, he turned his head in panic and looked at Chu Ran. Fortunately, Chu Ran reacted quickly and hid aside.

After the young eunuch walked away, Chu Ran opened the door and left the place quietly.

Back in the front yard, Li Dingning was still concentrating on struggling with the thing in his hands, so much so that he didn't even notice Chu Ran coming back.

Chu Ran stood behind Li Dingning, but his mind kept involuntarily recalling the scene he had just encountered.

Although Chu Ran couldn't think of where he had seen that eunuch before, he was very familiar with the little eunuch who came out later.

That was the eunuch Xiao Yingzi who served beside Concubine Li.

But who is the other person?

What are they talking about?

"What a piece of crap! I can't even solve it!"

Li Dingning, who had been trying for several days to untie the nine-ring chain in his hand without success, was so angry that he threw the nine-ring chain to the ground.

Li Dingning's anger successfully brought Chu Ran's thoughts back to normal.

Hey, what does he want to do so much.

The intrigues in the palace were not something a little eunuch like him could get involved in, so he decided to continue being a salted fish eunuch, living a life of idleness and waiting for death.

Thinking of this, a smile returned to Chu Ran's face. He bent down and picked up the nine-link ring on the ground.

"Don't be angry, Your Highness. At worst, we can just forget about it. It's not worth getting angry over such a piece of crap."

"I don't care, I must solve it." Li Dingning yelled at Chu Ran. He pointed at Chu Ran and said, "I will give you three days to solve this nine-linked ring! Otherwise... Otherwise, I will deduct one day's food from you!"

"Ah?" Chu Ran's face fell instantly.
