"It's okay, let's do it this way. I'll go down and you protect me." Gu Yufei gritted his teeth and pulled the rope connected to the bucket to cross the well.
"You!" Duan Junhuan wanted to hold Gu Yufei, but she had already gone down the edge of the well.
"Remember to pull the rope tight and don't let me fall. My life is in your hands." Gu Yufei shouted to Duan Junhuan.
Duan Junhuan held the rope tightly and lowered it little by little.
Could the puzzle really be hidden in a place like this?
Gu Yufei slid down while looking at the wall of the well.
When she went deeper, she suddenly saw some reflections underwater.
It is unknown how deep this well is.
Gu Yufei didn't dare to go down and explore the reflective object.
But there's an old Chinese saying: "Having come here, how can we just give up?" She's already come down.
"Remember to hold the rope. If I pull down hard, you have to pull me up."
Gu Yufei sank down little by little. When the water reached her neck, she took a deep breath, held her breath and continued to sink. After a while, she finally reached the bottom of the water.
When she got the thing, she felt like she was about to suffocate to death.
Duan Junhuan felt the rope suddenly fall down.
He quickly pulled Gu Yufei up.
“Cough cough cough…”
"What's wrong with you? Take a rest." Duan Junhuan wanted to pat Gu Yufei on the back, but he felt that it was inappropriate for men and women to be intimate with each other, so he could only watch her cough anxiously from the side.
"Cough cough cough, it's okay. Look what this is." Gu Yufei handed the thing in her hand to Duan Junhuan.
"This is made in imitation of my mother's hairpin. The real hairpin is in my room now." Duan Junhuan's face had no expression.
After going through so many things, his ability to withstand pressure has become stronger.
"Then if all the puzzle pieces are related to you and your mother, you know where the next location is, right?"
"I know…………"
"That's fine. You lead the way." Gu Yufei wrung the water out of her clothes.
It is early summer now and the weather is not very hot yet.
The wet clothes wrapped around her made her feel like her body heat was being taken away.
Gu Yufei sneezed several times in succession.
"You need to change your clothes before going there."
Duan Junhuan couldn't bear to see Gu Yufei sick.
This is the imperial palace, so it's not difficult to find a set of women's clothes.
However, the palace guards and maids had all been summoned, so Duan Junhuan and the others had to go to the laundry to find clothes themselves.
Duan Junhuan thought about it carefully and felt that the laundry bureau might also hold clues to the puzzle, because his mother had to go to the laundry bureau to wash clothes two days a week in exchange for living expenses for mother and son.
"You don't have to worry about making a wasted trip. The laundry department will definitely have clues to the puzzle." Duan Junhuan saw Gu Yufei's doubts.
"Then we'll listen to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Gu Yufei said.
The laundry is a bit far from where the well is.
Water dripped down Gu Yufei's clothes all the way.
Just when she felt she was almost numb from the cold, it finally arrived.
"I'll wait for you here. Go in and choose some clothes." Duan Junhuan stood outside the door, his ears red and hot.
Gu Yufei suppressed her smile.
Duan Junhuan should still be a fledgling.
Gu Yufei picked up a women's skirt at random.
………………………………
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Gu Yunfei's voice came from behind.
"General Gu, why are you here too?"
"We just happened to be passing by. Where's Madam Fu? Isn't she traveling with you?"
