This time, Lan Shuiyao knocked on the back door and swaggered into the palace.
The palace was very quiet, and there wasn't even a patrolling guard. But everyone in the world knew that in Prince Yongnan's palace, there were secret guards hiding on the roofs of every house, in the rockery, and even behind every stone.
Lan Shuiyao pushed the door open with force; the creaking sound was a bit harsh in the silent night.
There was no light in the room. The moonlight shone into the room through the window, and I could just barely see the furnishings inside.
Lan Shuiyao raised her eyebrows in surprise. She didn't even see Yue Nanchen, which really surprised her.
He strode in, closed the door, and lazily threw himself on the bed. Lan Shuiyao pounded her sore arms and legs. Her body was weak. She felt so sore just from carrying the fifty-kilogram screen for ten miles.
In the study, Fulu was standing by, carefully watching Yue Nanchen's face, "Master, it's getting late, why don't you go to bed? I'll keep an eye on the Third Madam!"
Yue Nanchen didn't even raise his head, and turned a page of the book. His slender fingers were slightly bent, and he spoke slowly, "I want to see when she will come back to her senses!"
Fulu was slightly startled, unable to figure out the prince's attitude towards the third wife. He could only stand aside with his eyes lowered, not daring to speak.
"Okay, time to go to bed!" Yue Nanchen stood up and threw the book aside. Fulu immediately went up to serve him.
"Master, the third lady is back, and she came in through the back door!" Outside the study, a guard reported in a low voice.
Yue Nanchen frowned slightly, bang bang bang
, the sound of the night watchman came, it was already three quarters past midnight, is this woman finally willing to come back?
Yue Nanchen strode towards the door, and Fulu immediately stepped forward to open the door for him.
"Fulu, you go to sleep. I can walk around by myself. No need to serve me!" Yue Nanchen spoke softly and walked out of the study.
Fulu quickly responded, but cautiously looked up in the direction his master was going. That was the room of the third lady in the side yard.
Yue Nanchen stood outside the door, listening to the even breathing coming from inside, and the words of the male beggar echoed in his mind. His nemesis, the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens? Just her! ?
The lights were also on in Princess Jiangcheng's room in the east wing of the main courtyard.
Diewu came in hurriedly with her maid.
"Why is it so late? Is there any movement?" Jiang Cheng, who was pacing constantly, walked over quickly.
"Don't worry, my sister will do it. That beggar will never speak again in his life. Don't worry, no one will know that we did it!"
Die Wu took a breath and raised her carefully drawn eyebrows proudly. "And I heard from the guards tonight that the master has been asking them to keep an eye on that woman's whereabouts. I guess the master must have listened to the beggar's words!"
Jiang Cheng sighed, "We haven't dealt with Lan Shuiyao yet, and Dong Qing'er is here again. You know the relationship between me and Dong Qing'er. I'm afraid that we are only focusing on dealing with a concubine and ignoring the real opponent!"
Die Wu also frowned somewhat dejectedly, "Dong Qing'er, do you dare to move?"
Jiang Cheng bit her lip and shook her head helplessly. She had been in the mansion for three years. Although she had not met Yue Nanchen many times, she knew him well.
With his temper, Dong Qing'er is his bottom line. She will not be so foolish as to risk her life just to win favor.
"Not yet! Besides, Dong Qing'er is already the Princess of Changning. If there was really a possibility between her and me, would it have been our turn to enter the palace three years ago? Let's focus on dealing with Lan Shuiyao first!" Die Wu said fiercely.
"Sister is really smart!" Jiang Cheng whispered, his words coming from afar. It seemed that she was not smart but cunning. It seemed that after kicking Lan Shuiyao out of the palace, she had to be more careful about Diewu.
In the morning, a ray of sunlight shone obliquely on the little person curled up on the bed.
Lan Shuiyao lazily opened her eyes and stretched. She felt sore all over. Not only was she tired last night, but also she slept in her outer robe in case that the perverted prince suddenly showed up. She was not used to it.
"Madam, Third Madam!" Cherry's voice rang out from outside, "Someone wants to see Third Madam!"
"Who?" Lan Shuiyao asked lazily, and walked forward to open the door. Outside the door stood a woman in her fifties with a kind face and high-end clothes.
Not far away, Yue Nanchen stood quietly. A few rays of rising sunlight passed through the golden glazed eaves, through the ancient and deep corridor, and fell on the figure facing the river like a reflection in the water, reflecting the faint smile on his face with unfathomable depth.
Lan Shuiyao narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the woman in front of her. Her appearance was 50% similar to Lan Shuiyao's body. She raised her eyes and took in Yue Nanchen's unfathomable smile, and some ideas came to her mind.
She was dressed in a bright red dress, with her white jade feet bare. She leaned lazily against the door. Her every move was full of charm, which made the old woman frown continuously.
"Yao'er, how did you... become like this?" the woman said, and went forward to grab Lan Shuiyao's hand.
With a charming smile on her face, her body coldly avoided him. The woman lost her balance and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Cherry was quick to support her. "Mrs. Lan, are you okay?"
The woman shook her head, and when she looked at Lan Shuiyao again, there was more heartache and unfamiliarity in her eyes. "Yao'er, what's wrong with you? How come you don't even recognize your mother?"
Mrs. Lan originally thought that when she saw her daughter whom she hadn't seen for a month, her daughter would definitely run to her arms and perhaps complain, but the situation would definitely not be like it is now. Could what the master said be true?
"I'm sorry, I lost my memory. A few days ago, my grandfather kicked me off the bed, and I don't remember anything after I woke up!"
Lan Shuiyao stroked her head lazily, "If you are my mother, then I am sorry, but I don't recognize you anymore. If you want to settle accounts with someone, then go find the person behind you!"
Mrs. Lan looked back at Yue Nanchen in the distance and huddled into a ball.
Naturally, she didn't dare to go look for Yue Nanchen. A daughter who is married off is like water spilled. Even if she is kicked to death, let alone losing her memory, the Lan family can only howl a few times. Things are different now!
Lan Shuiyao sneered, turned around lazily, and the door slammed shut. Then a woman's charming and sexy voice came from inside.
Voice, "Cherry, I'm hungry, help me prepare breakfast!"
Cherry responded quickly, looking at Madam Lan with some sympathy in her eyes, "Madam Lan, don't be sad, maybe the Third Madam will remember it again someday!"
Mrs. Lan turned to look at Yingtao in a daze, "Is Yao'er not doing well?"
Cherry frowned. How should she put it? She had indeed had a hard life in the past. The Princess and Concubine Die came to pick a fight every few days. Even she, when she was on duty with the Princess, was ordered to slap the Third Lady.
Fortunately, the Third Madam has lost her memory, otherwise... However, the Third Madam is the most carefree person in the entire palace. After the princess and Ningxiang suffered a loss last time, they never dared to come again.
Concubine Die was even more cunning. She naturally took into account the princess's previous experience and had not shown up in the past few days. In addition, the prince had been visiting this side yard frequently recently, and now all the servants in the mansion were talking about how favored the third lady was.
Look, even her family members were called here, which shows how much the prince dotes on the third wife. The princess and concubine Die have never had such treatment in the three years since they entered the palace.
Not to mention visiting his daughter, even if it was official business, the prince was too lazy to respond. This shows how great an honor it was for the Third Lady to invite the Right Prime Minister and his family to visit. I didn't expect the Third Lady's attitude to be so...
Yue Nanchen stared coldly at the door. There was only one image in his mind: the snow-white feet and the fluttering red robe.
They were not too far apart, and he heard the woman's words clearly. Amnesia? Everything he had carefully planned was easily fooled by these two simple words?
