Chapter 57 This statement is somewhat ambiguous
You definitely can’t go through the main gate because Zhao Mingde is still guarding it.
But Zhao Mingde couldn’t take care of the side windows, right?
Worried that Xiao Jiwu would be back soon, Yun Qingshi didn't dare to delay. After thinking it over, he took the purse and medicine from the small table beside the bed.
Then he opened the window, climbed out, and landed steadily.
The side window looks out onto a corner of the backyard. There is only a tall sycamore tree standing by the wall. However, because it is autumn, the leaves have turned yellow and many have fallen to the ground. The afternoon sun shines on them, making them golden and beautiful.
Yun Qingshi couldn't help but think of Prince Xiao's name, Xiao Jiwu.
However, although the tree was beautiful, Yun Qingshi did not stay for long.
After looking at the courtyard wall and choosing a position, he jumped onto the high wall, then quickly jumped off the wall and left Jinhua Palace.
Although Xiao Jiwu carried Yun Qingshi back last night, he still remembered some directions.
So as soon as he landed outside the yard, he quickly chose a direction and used his lightness skills to head in the direction he came from last night.
If he heard any movement along the way, he would hide in time and was not discovered.
However, when we came back last night, it was too late, and it seemed different from walking during the day.
Yun Qingshi finally took a detour, and the first place he found was the pond from yesterday.
Looking at the pond, Yun Qingshi couldn't help but think of the eunuch from last night. He couldn't help but shudder and hurried away from there, muttering in his heart:
Xiao Jiwu killed the man, but it has nothing to do with him. Every grievance has its perpetrator, and ghosts must remember to find the right person when they seek revenge!
Of course, Yun Qingshi felt that even if it was a ghost, Xiao Tyrant could twist its head off.
So if there were any ghosts who wanted to seek revenge on Xiao Jiwu, he sincerely suggested that they should just give up and reincarnate as a human being as soon as possible...
Back to this point, as long as he found the pond, it meant he was not far from the palace.
He was very fast and it took him less than half an hour to find the courtyard where he had been last night.
There was still no one guarding the yard. I couldn't see clearly last night because it was dark, but when I looked again today, I found that the yard was quite dilapidated.
The walls, which were supposed to be vermilion, have faded in color after being washed by wind and rain. The gate is rotten and crumbling, and the door nails are peeling and rusting.
Such a courtyard would seem out of place in the imperial palace.
To sum up, it is comparable to the cold palace.
This place is indeed quite remote.
However, it also indirectly verified Yun Qingshi's guess.
Thinking of this, Yun Qingshi knocked on the door tentatively.
He seemed to hear faint coughing from inside.
Unfortunately, the people inside didn't seem to hear Yun Qingshi knocking on the door, and no sound or footsteps were heard for a long time.
Yun Qingshi had no choice but to knock on the door again with greater force.
This time, the people inside seemed to finally hear the noise.
Because Yun Qingshi heard the door open, it must be the little eunuch who came out to see.
Sure enough, after a while, the young eunuch opened the door, and then looked at Yun Qingshi with a look of surprise and said hesitantly:
"Are you... the man who was with His Royal Highness Prince Yi last night?"
Yun Qingshi: ...
What he said was true, but it was somewhat ambiguous.
Thinking of the chaos last night, Yun Qingshi couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed no matter how thick-skinned he was.
The yard is so small. Although he remembered that Xiao Jiwu told the two of them to go farther away last night, how far could they go?
In the quiet night, they must have heard everything.
But now that things have come to this, there is no way to reverse it, so we can only face it.
So, Yun Qingshi coughed twice to ease the awkwardness and nodded slightly in response, then asked, "Where is your master?"
Hearing this, the young eunuch paused before answering hesitantly: "...Our Highness is in the room."
Yun Qingshi nodded after hearing this: "Okay, I came here specifically to find him."
After saying this, he stepped over the threshold and went straight into the house.
The young eunuch was immediately anxious when he saw this. He hurried forward and knelt before Yun Qingshi. With a pale face, he grabbed Yun Qingshi's clothes and said anxiously: "Sir, is His Royal Highness Prince Yi worried? We really won't leak anything. Please don't make things difficult for our Prince, please..."
"Please, our prince is weak, please don't make things difficult for him..." As he said this, he kowtowed to Yun Qingshi again, his eyes red, as if he had misunderstood Yun Qingshi's purpose.
The incident happened suddenly, and Yun Qingshi was caught off guard by being bowed to. Only then did he react and hurriedly pulled the man up to his feet. He then hurriedly explained, "Don't worry, I really am not here to embarrass you. Please don't kneel to me. I am only here to meet your master."
While pulling the man up, Yun Qingshi accidentally pulled his sore waist and almost couldn't help but grimace, but he forced himself to hold it back.
After listening to this, the young eunuch looked at Yun Qingshi with his eyes wide open, still feeling uneasy, but he did not kneel again.
At this moment, the young man's voice was heard in the room.
"Ahem, Little Stone, who's here?"
Upon hearing this, the eunuch named Xiao Shitou hurriedly replied, "Your Highness, it's the man who was with His Highness Prince Yi yesterday."
Yun Qingshi: ...
Yun Qingshi pinched his brows helplessly after listening to this introduction, and chose to bypass the eunuch and go back to the house.
This time, Little Stone still followed hurriedly, but did not stop him.
Yun Qingshi successfully pushed open the door and saw the thin but handsome boy from yesterday also getting out of bed.
The young man then slowly walked to Yun Qingshi and stood in front of him, asking softly, "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Yun Qingshi nodded slightly and said, "My name is Ying Shiyi, and I am the secret guard of Prince Yi. I came here today to express my apology for what happened yesterday."
He revealed his identity in order to induce the other party to reveal his identity as well.
As expected, the young man was stunned when he heard this, and then he said, "My name is Zishu Heming. What happened yesterday was nothing. There is no need to be so cruel, sir."
Yun Qingshi was thinking, this is right.
His surname was Zishu and his given name was Heming.
It is undoubtedly the protagonist in "The Beauty on the Dragon Bed".
He was originally the Seventh Prince of Beining State, and is now a hostage in Qi State.
He had already had suspicions when he saw the man's temperament yesterday, and now he just came to verify it.
After getting a positive answer, Yun Qingshi looked Zishu Heming up and down with more curiosity.
Wow, it’s exactly like what’s described in the novel!
A frail beauty with an otherworldly temperament like orchid!
Zishu Heming felt a little embarrassed when being stared at. He couldn't help but take a step back and said hesitantly: "Ahem, sir..."
