The way Miss "Jinxiu" appeared was so unusual that it shocked Zhu Hanfei at that time.

Now that she had discovered the clues, Zhu Hanfei felt more and more that something was wrong.

She carefully observed the "Jinxiu" girl beside her, trying to find more clues from her words and actions.

Wu Qing's hands were still scratching on the pillar.

Zhu Hanfei looked at her little movements and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

She held Wu Qing's hand and whispered, "Don't move. Xing'er seems to have heard it."

Wu Qing immediately stopped and stuck out his tongue at Zhu Hanfei, like a child who had done something wrong, telling Zhu Hanfei with his eyes that he would not scratch her claws anymore.

Zhu Hanfei took the opportunity to rub Jinxiu's palm.

…The skin of the other person’s hands was delicate and silky, and obviously had no trace of rough work. Such hands could never belong to an ordinary palace maid.

——Miss Jinxiu is lying.

So, what is her real identity? Why did she pretend to be a palace maid? And why did she try so hard to prove the innocence of Lady Ji?

A series of questions came to Zhu Hanfei's mind and she was caught in a mystery.

Is she a lady-in-waiting of the Shanggong Bureau? Or is she a concubine who is close to Ji Guiren?

I want to prove Concubine Ji’s innocence... It’s impossible that Miss “Jinxiu” is Concubine Ji herself.

After all, in Zhu Hanfei's impression, Concubine Ji should be a stunningly beautiful lady, smart and calculating, otherwise she wouldn't be able to stir up trouble in the palace.

But what if this girl is Lady Ji?

“…”

Zhu Hanfei thought expressionlessly that she might have to rethink her plan.

It turns out that this is the one the emperor likes.

She had no objection to Miss Jinxiu, but it would be difficult for her to imitate Jinxiu's personality.

…

Under the tung tree, Ruan Yue and Xing'er reached an agreement and agreed to meet at the same place tomorrow.

At that time, Ruan Yue will bring seven hundred taels, and Xing'er will come with her superior.

After seeing Xing'er off, Ruan Yue patted his chest with lingering fear.

She tiptoed, picked up the lantern and walked towards the corridor.

In the darkness, two figures quietly appeared. They were Wu Qing and Zhu Hanfei. They walked out from the shadows behind the pillars and came in front of Ruan Yue.

"Miss Li'er, Miss Jinxiu, I am glad that you have fulfilled my mission." Ruan Yue forced a smile, but that smile was uglier than crying.

She said in a trembling voice: "Tomorrow... tomorrow should I still come? It's too horrible, I really can't act anymore."

Wu Qingze grabbed her hand.

"Miss Ruan, thank you!"

Wu Qing admired her very much and couldn't help but sigh: "The organization will remember your contribution! There are not many people like you who are so selfless and dedicated!"

"Just because you trust Mr. Ji, you are definitely not a bad guy."

Ruan Yue turned his head dully and turned his head towards Zhu Hanfei.

She felt a little flattered by the praise, but also felt something was wrong.

...selfless dedication? ...trust in the lucky person?

Is this all about her?

Zhu Hanfei had a beautiful smile on her face, but her tone was full of warning.

She said slowly, "Yes, Miss Ruan Yue, you are so brave that you can come up with such a method alone. In order to help Lady Ji find the real murderer, you risked your life to get involved. Such courage is really admirable."

She deliberately emphasized the three words "a person".

Ruan Yue was silent.

She understood that Zhu Hanfei did not want to expose herself as the mastermind behind this matter, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Wu Qing patted her shoulder and said, "Miss Zhu is so lucky to have a roommate like you!"

[In the original book, Ruan Yue seems to be a bad woman? ]

[The plot deviation is so good! I love the plot deviation! ]

[That's how it should be. Why is there so much inexplicable competition? No one can be selected. It's just a disaster. I don't know what I'm asking for.]

If I don't catch up, Xing'er will disappear into the night.

It rained last night and Wu Qing failed to catch up with Xing'er. Today she wants to avenge herself.

Wu Qing skillfully climbed up the wall of Jingyixuan, said goodbye to the two people below, and then disappeared into the night.

Ruan Yue looked at Wu Qing's departing back and sighed inwardly.

She turned around and pointed at Zhu Hanfei, saying, "Look, sister, her skills are really amazing! I thought she was just an ordinary palace maid."

Zhu Hanfei returned to her usual coldness and aloofness. "She is unusual. You must be careful with your words in front of her. Be careful not to say anything out of turn."

Isn't she just a palace maid?

Alas, but she is the maid of Concubine Ji, and I really can’t afford to offend her.

Ruan Yue, who had recently been taught a hard lesson by Zhu Hanfei, sighed.

After entering the palace, her mind seemed to have undergone a qualitative growth.

...So why did she suddenly become crazy at that time and kept making things difficult for Zhu Hanfei?

Ruan Yue shook her head, put aside her messy thoughts, and went back to Room 13 with Zhu Hanfei to go to bed.

…

There was a special atmosphere of tranquility in the night air, and Wu Qing gradually immersed himself in it, enjoying the thrill of traveling through the darkness.

No wonder people in this world prefer night attacks.

[Monk Zhihui likes it, Zhitao likes it, um... there seems to be another one from the Golden Lotus Society? Oh, never mind, it's not important. ]

Wu Qing only chose to walk in dark places. After two days of training, she had figured out some patterns of the guards' patrols.

At the same time, Xing Er also demonstrated rich experience.

She walked quickly, looking back frequently to see if anyone was following her.

Fortunately, Wu Qing always hid in the shadows on the top and under the wall, successfully avoiding Xing'er's repeated detection.

This makes Wu Qing even more curious, who is behind the scenes manipulating Xing Er? And why is he pretending to be her?

As Xing'er passed through the palace walls, Wu Qing slowed down his pace and his expression became more complicated.

[…This route seems familiar.] Wu Qing thought silently.

Holding a dim palace lantern, Xing'er carefully walked around the last red wall and finally stopped in front of a side door that Wu Qing was very familiar with.

——It was the door that Wu Qing had just stepped out of half an hour ago.

The door opened a crack.

A short eunuch stuck his head out, looked around, and let Xing'er in after confirming that no one was following her.

Wu Qing stood in front of the door, unable to calm down for a long time.

[…How did you get back to Kunning Palace? ]

[Xing Er is originally from Kunning Palace? ]

Actually, that makes sense.

Wu Qing's list was lost in Kunning Palace. It would be normal if someone from Kunning Palace found it.

For fear of being discovered by Xing'er and the eunuch, Wu Qing deliberately took a detour, climbed over the wall to enter Kunning Palace, and then returned to the side door.

The muddy road on a rainy day clearly left two people's footprints.

Wu Qing followed the latest footprints.

The direction Xing'er was heading was not towards the Queen's bedroom, nor towards Wu Qing's residence, but a completely different direction.

The footprints finally stopped in front of a low house.

Wu Qing stood there with a deep gaze, not moving for a long time.

This is the most special room in Kunning Palace.

It was once the residence of the eldest prince and carries countless laughter and memories.

After the eldest prince moved to the prince's residence, this place welcomed a new owner - Princess Xiyan.

Wu Qing thought that she was starting to show some signs of success.

That’s how the roster disappeared.
