"I dare not."
The little maid was startled and hurried down to get the music score.
Gu Yanran put her hand on her belly, a calculating look flashing in her eyes.
Qi Che is definitely unreliable, and judging from Li's expression just now, he is very likely to have doubts about his own background.
So now, she can only find a way out by herself.
There are three major forces in the court now, and the one she is most likely to attach herself to is the third prince Chu Hong.
I heard that the Third Prince likes to listen to the zither, and she has been practicing hard since she was a child, and is also proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy and painting. If she can take this opportunity to board the Third Prince's ship, she will not have to worry even if her life experience is exposed in the future.
No one else knows what Gu Yanran is planning.
At this time, outside the princess's mansion, under the old locust tree, a black figure was still standing.
This is already the third night.
Zhixia finally confirmed the figure through the crack in the door, it was undoubtedly Pei Yuan.
Zhixia felt uneasy all night, struggling over whether or not to tell the princess about this.
Just at this moment, the light in the princess's room came on.
Seeing this, Zhixia pushed the door open and went in. She saw Chu Qingluan sitting on the bed with a frown on her face.
"Princess? But am I disturbing your rest? Otherwise, I..."
"It's okay. I was just thinking about something and I couldn't fall asleep."
She was thinking back to the assassination case. Two days had passed and there was still no progress in the case. She couldn't help but feel anxious.
Zhixia glanced at the door and suggested, "Since the princess can't sleep, why don't you go for a walk in the garden? Maybe if you relax and look at the moon, you'll feel much better."
Chu Qingluan was a little hesitant.
It’s so late, and the dew is heavy. How about taking a walk in the garden?
She cast a slightly scrutinizing gaze on Zhixia.
Zhixia lowered her head with a guilty conscience and explained hurriedly: "This servant is just a suggestion. If the princess feels it is inconvenient, then let's not go. I will go get you some calming incense."
However, at this moment, Chu Qingluan had already lifted the quilt and prepared to get up.
"You're right. It's nice to go out for a walk and look at the moon!"
In this way, the master and servant walked in the back garden holding an orange lantern.
I don't know whether Zhixia did it intentionally or unintentionally, but after walking for a while, she pointed in the direction of the mansion gate and said, "Princess, there are a lot of fireflies over there. I'll catch them for you and make them into firefly lanterns, okay?"
Chu Qingluan looked over there and saw that under the wall of the princess's mansion, there were many exotic flowers and plants planted, and there were many fireflies dancing around the wall.
This scene can be regarded as a rare beautiful view in the princess's mansion.
Chu Qingluan raised her foot and walked towards the wall.
However, at this moment, Zhixia suddenly jumped up and shouted towards the door:
"Where did these thieves come from? They are hiding in the princess's mansion in the middle of the night!"
Zhixia said, pulling out the whip from her waist and swinging it towards the figure under the big locust tree at the door.
