Now I'm going to look for Dong Qing'er. If I'm caught by Prince Changning, it will be terrible. I can't explain it with ten mouths! Fulu stomped his feet and walked back and forth in front of the door. Finally, he had an idea. It seemed that he had no choice but to look for the third lady and ask for help!
"Third Madam?" Fulu hurried into the side yard. Yingtao had just woken up from her nap. When she heard him calling, she hurried out of the room, "Butler, stop shouting. Madam has gone out early this morning!"
"Gone out? Why didn't I see him?" He had been guarding the door.
Cherry rolled her eyes at him secretly, but still replied respectfully, "Our lady never leaves the house when she goes out!"
"Oh! This is terrible, this is terrible!" Fulu screamed, wondering if it was too late to ask the emperor for help!
As soon as Yue Nanchen went out, a servant ran to tell Jiang Yan the news.
"Really?" Jiang Yan stood up excitedly, shaking the two large iron balls in his hands back and forth, "Call Guardian Li!"
Soon, Li Neng entered the hall.
"All of you go down!" With a wave of his hand, Jiang Yan dismissed his attendants, then stepped forward and took out a medicine bag from his arms, "Go to room three of Tianfu Inn and blow this to room one. Do you understand what I mean?"
Li Neng took it, "Yes!"
"Remember, you have to be clean and neat. If you are discovered, you know what to do, right?" Jiang Yan said gloomily.
"Don't worry, Prime Minister. Li Neng has followed you for twenty years, so he will naturally understand!" Li Neng clasped his fists.
"Okay, go ahead. You'll be rewarded handsomely when you come back!" Jiang Yan waved his hand.
Everything is ready except for the east wind. How can we lure Prince Changning to Wanfu Inn?
In fact, Jiang Yan was really worrying too much. Dong Qing'er's every move was under Yue Chengning's surveillance.
In the study, the secret guard leaned over and whispered in Yue Chengning's ear. The man slowly
She slowly pursed her cherry-like lips. Her expression was apparently gentle and bright, but it revealed a sinister tone.
"Master, shall we take action?" the secret guard asked in a low voice.
"Of course, but the scene has to be grand this time. I remember today is a temple fair. The emperor and the empress dowager haven't visited a temple fair for a long time!" Yue Chengning smiled coldly and walked straight out of the study.
In the Queen Mother's bedroom, the Queen Mother raised her eyebrows excitedly, "Chengning, you mean the temple fair?"
"Yes!" Yue Chengning smiled faintly, took the tea from the palace maid, blew it gently, and brought it to the Queen Mother, "I remember the last time I went to the temple fair with the Emperor's sister-in-law was about 20 years ago.
At that time, Cheng Ning was ten years old and still a little child who knew nothing. The emperor's sister-in-law was Concubine Ping and was very much loved by her brother the emperor.
There was a temple fair that day, and Cheng Ning insisted on taking the emperor's sister-in-law with her. So the sister-in-law secretly took the emperor's brother's badge and left the palace with Cheng Ning. They wandered around the palace for a day before returning. As a result, the emperor's brother was furious and sent the sister-in-law to the cold palace to face the wall for a month. Now that I think about it, Cheng Ning was really naughty at that time!"
When the empress dowager listened to him, the years of her youth suddenly emerged in her mind. She was banished to the cold palace, but the late emperor always visited her secretly.
During that month, her relationship with the late emperor was even closer than the time she was first favored. Although she never left the palace without permission again, that trip to the temple fair made her think about it alone in the backyard of the palace for many years!
"Today is the temple fair, and it's afternoon now, so it's not so crowded, but it's still lively. Why don't you go out with Cheng Ning to take a look!" Yue Cheng Ning suggested considerately.
The Queen Mother smiled gently, looked into the distance, and seemed a little moved.
"But this is against the rules of the palace. I am the queen mother and the master of the harem. I cannot take the lead in breaking it.
This breaks the rules!"
"Sister-in-law, the emperor is busy with all kinds of affairs and must be exhausted. Why not invite him along? This way he can relax and understand the people's sentiments. What's not to like? Sister-in-law, we will be traveling incognito, don't worry!" Yue Chengning suggested strongly.
The Queen Mother's heart became more and more active. Finally, she turned her eyes to the nanny beside her and said, "Go and ask the Emperor to come. Tell him that I have something important to tell you!"
The nanny bowed and hurried over. After a while, Yue Nanxuan, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, strode over, looking dignified and heroic.
"Mother, do you have something important to discuss with me?" Yue Nanxuan smiled brightly and sat beside the empress dowager.
"Your Highness!" Yue Chengning bowed lightly.
"Oh? The Emperor's uncle is here too? How rare!" Yue Nanxuan smiled.
The Queen Mother gently grasped Yue Nanxuan's hand, "Xuan'er, you are tired from reading memorials every day, but the ancients said that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. As an emperor, in addition to working hard and conscientiously, you must also understand the people's sentiments!"
Yue Nanxuan was stunned. On weekdays, his mother hated him wandering around. What happened today? He looked at Yue Chengning suspiciously, only to see him hanging his head with a very calm expression.
"What your Majesty means is..." Yue Nanxuan immediately blinked and asked in a very knowledgeable manner.
"Today is the temple fair, and my mother hasn't been out for a long time. Why not take this opportunity to go shopping? Xuan'er can also get to know the people!"
Yue Nanxuan turned his gaze to Yue Chengning again, "Was it the emperor's uncle's idea?"
The Queen Mother was startled. "No, it was my mother who wanted to go out for a walk. I asked your uncle to come along for safety!"
"Okay, I will pass the order down right away, gongs and drums will be played to clear the way, and carpets will be laid out for a hundred miles. I respectfully ask my mother to understand the people's sentiments!" Yue Nanxuan immediately
Stand up.
"I'm talking about a secret visit!" She slapped Yue Nanxuan's forehead coquettishly, "Your Majesty, if you go out with such a large army, you won't see anything. It's better not to go out!"
"Oh? Then what does mother want to see?" Yue Nanxuan asked quickly.
This question stumped the Queen Mother. She hesitated for a moment and said, "People's livelihood!"
"Okay, then I will accompany my mother to take care of people's livelihood!" Yue Nanxuan slapped his thigh. He also wanted to know what Yue Chengning was up to!
Half an hour later, Yue Chengning, Yue Nanxuan and the Queen Mother, dressed as wealthy ladies visiting a temple fair, walked out of the palace with their guards.
Fulu, who had been waiting for a long time, wanted to go forward, but after seeing Prince Changning dressed in white clothes, he stopped suddenly and dared not go forward.
The three of them walked onto the street in a swagger, with the guards following closely behind them.
Fulu could only follow behind, hoping to find an opportunity to talk to Yue Nanxuan alone, but he didn't expect that the three of them would go straight to Wanfu Inn.
After thinking about it carefully, Fulu slapped his thigh and said, "Oh no, he is going to catch someone cheating!" He ran towards the Lanshui Clinic and slammed the door.
"The young lady is not here!" Yinglu recognized Fulu and said with some emotion, "Our young lady has never come back since she was taken back to the palace by the prince!"
Fulu wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was too late. It was really too late this time. The prince was really in trouble!
He hurried out of the Lanshui Clinic and wanted to run to the Wanfu Inn to report the news, but he found that the inn had been surrounded by made-up guards, who carefully examined everyone who entered the inn and were about to go up to question them.
Fulu hid in the dark and carefully observed the guards. Suddenly he found that they were all strangers.
When he saw the guards that Yue Nanxuan brought with him on his incognito visit, his heart skipped a beat, which further confirmed his guess.
Prince Changning and Dong Qing'er must have contacted each other in advance!
Just when Fulu was at a loss, he suddenly saw a familiar figure. It was Li Neng? How could the guard of Prime Minister Jiang's residence appear here?
Li Neng entered room number three and hid, pressing his body tightly against the wall, paying close attention to the movements in the next room.
"Miss, Miss, Prince Yongnan is here!" Xiaoxi, who had been waiting for a whole morning, finally saw the handsome figure through the window and quickly ran to the table.
Dong Qing'er straightened up and slowly breathed a sigh of relief. It finally came!
The door was pushed open, and when Dong Qing'er saw the handsome figure, she stood up, her eyes full of tenderness.
Yue Nanchen curled the corners of his lips calmly and sat down at the table, "Sorry to have kept you waiting!"
Dong Qing'er raised her hand across the table and held his hand, "I thought you weren't coming!"
Without making a sound, Yue Nanchen took his hand back and smiled calmly, "Did you get sick after being caught in the rain last time?"
Dong Qing'er was even more excited when she saw that he cared about her. She winked at Xiaoxi and said, "Xiaoxi, go wait outside!"
Xiaoxi had no choice but to agree and go out.
When the door was closed, Dong Qing'er suddenly took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, pressed the corners of her eyes hard, and soon tears began to fall.
Yue Nanchen's expression was slightly moved, and he whispered, "What's wrong?"
Dong Qing'er was sobbing, her shoulders shaking constantly, she just cried and didn't say a word.
"Isn't the matter of taking a concubine over? Qing'er, listen to me and go back with him. The palace is not the place for you to stay!" Yue Nanchen sighed softly, wanting to make a final effort.
