"See you later, Your Highness~"

After Su Changzhao finished speaking, he used his Qinggong skills to leave.

Watching the absolutely beautiful person disappear into the night, Yu Jiuchen savored the last name she called him.

"Your Highness Ye, huh..."

My thumb brushed across the corner of my lips, leaving a faint soft and fragrant touch there.

·

The main reason why Su Changzhao ran so fast was that she had to go back to guard the teleportation point.

As long as she could be teleported back successfully, anything that happened in this world had nothing to do with her.

Sitting on a gilded roof in the Qiongyi Palace, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

It doesn't look like there will be a red moon tonight.

Seeing that it would be more than an hour before dawn, she supported her chin with one hand and prepared to take a nap.

But the clothes on my shoulders were damaged, and a cool breeze blew in.

So cold~~~

For no apparent reason, people began to feel a sense of resentment.

She closed her eyes to clear her mind of all distractions and saw the scene of Yu Jiuchen forcefully kissing her just now.

She was so scared that she opened her eyes again.

Touching his lips.

Although the other person is very likely Ah Heng's previous life, he is not her Ah Heng after all.

I felt somewhat guilty for being kissed like this.

But along with the feeling of guilt, she couldn't help but feel a little palpitated.

It was because that person looked so much like Ah Heng, his appearance was a perfect replica, even the scent of sandalwood on his body was exactly the same.

How could one not be confused when he looks so much like the person you love?

Su Changzhao quickly shook his head to stop falling into inexplicable confusion.

Well, Ah Heng is Ah Heng, that person is that person, and I already have Ah Heng.

After sorting out my thoughts.

She was no longer sleepy, so she simply looked at the moon in the sky and thought about what had happened tonight.

It turns out that the Golden Treasure Hall and the Peony Hall are connected.

Who is that tongueless woman trapped in the wall?

What grudge do you have with Concubine Bai Shu?

Why did Yu Jiuchen save himself?

What was he doing in the Peony Palace?

Tang Chuyuan appeared at the end, clearly to cover for them.

But according to the rumors in the palace, Yu Jiuchen and Tang Chuyuan should not get along with each other, so why did Tang Chuyuan save him?

Yes, Su Chang recruited a masked man, and Tang Chuyuan could not cover for her, so the person Tang Chuyuan really wanted to save could only be Yu Jiuchen.

So...brotherly love?

Thinking about this.

Su Changzhao had a playful look on his lips.

"interesting."

·

Su Changzhao stayed there for a while and then returned to the Golden Palace early.

She remembered that Tang Chuyuan might go to her room to confirm.

Tsk! Why didn’t I think of it?

If he found out that I was the one who broke into the Peony Palace through the secret passage tonight, then my identity as a palace maid would be useless.

But there is no need to be afraid. I have changed my appearance anyway. I can make a fake skin and use another identity when the time comes.

So planned.

She returned to her residence.

Through observation, she found that someone had been in the room.

It seemed that the other party came in and left quickly, because there were not many traces left.

Suddenly.

A person suddenly appeared in the corner.

Su Changzhao came to the opponent with extremely fast movements and grabbed the opponent's neck.

"Who is it?"

The other party didn't seem to worry about his life at all. Although it was a bit uncomfortable to be strangled by the neck, he still smiled and said, "You are worthy of being the number one assassin in Daqing. You subdued me with just one move."

"..." Hearing the other party introduce himself, Su Changzhao did not take it lightly, "What Daqing? I don't know what you are talking about." His tone was cold.

Seeing this, the smile on the other party's face became even wider. Without saying much, he quickly took out an item, which was a token of the Sima!

Su Changzhao loosened his grip upon seeing this, "What do you want from me?"

The man dressed as a guard bowed and said, "I am here on behalf of the Grand Marshal. The Grand Marshal wants to know how much of the task assigned to you have been completed? Have you found the item?"

"Tell me the message. I will find the things as soon as possible. Please rest assured, Sima."

"yes."

Seeing that the man had no intention of leaving, Su Changzhao asked again: "Anything else?"

"Yes, Da Sima said that if you have any accidents during this period, please do not drag down Daqing. I hope you know this."

Su Changzhao sneered in his heart: What do you mean by dragging down Daqing? You mean you don’t want to drag down Da Sima, right?

On the surface: "I understand, you go back and report, I have my own plan."

The man left instantly.

Look in the other direction.

They sent someone to urge us when only one-third of the time had passed. They are really impatient.

However, since someone from the Grand Marshal's faction could sneak into the palace, it proved that his every move was under the Grand Marshal's control.

Sigh and look up at the sky.

Hongyue, when will you come out? When can I go back?

·

Spent two days in the Golden Palace.

Although Su Changzhao no longer had to do rough labor, his movements were restricted due to preferential treatment.

I usually take time out during the day to go out and look for the whereabouts of the pearl.

Now, she can't go anywhere during the day.

Only action at night.

As a result, in the past two days he confirmed that the whereabouts of the pearl was nowhere to be found in the Golden Palace.

In other words, now the only hope left in the entire palace is the Empress's bedroom and Concubine Bai Shufei's Peony Palace.

Concubine Bai Shu is the original saint of the territory, and is particularly good at illusion.

I guess there are many extremely hidden places in his palace where illusions are set up.

It must be difficult to get close to it, so it is also a great place to hide treasures.

Assume there is a 70% chance that the orb is there.

What she had to do was to eliminate the Empress first and then go to the Peony Palace.

She had originally wanted to take some time out these few days to go to the Empress's bedroom to confirm, but Tang Chuyuan came to see her every few days.

No, you don’t need to look at it.

I just heard the footsteps coming from outside the door.

Su Changzhao has already determined that it was Tang Chuyuan who brought people here.

The scene changed.

Tang Chuyuan took her to the yard in a mysterious way.

"I wonder what Your Highness wants me to play with you today?" Su Changzhao asked with a professional fake smile.

Yes, she is now just a playmate.

Tang Chuyuan put his hands behind his back, his youthful face was full of pride and flamboyance: "I am tired of playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Let's compete in this today."

He spread his hands towards the people around him, and immediately a palace servant placed a slingshot in his palm.

Ordinary slingshots are made of wooden forks.

And Tang Chuyuan’s sword is really powerful, it’s made of gold and inlaid with gems!

He was seen holding a golden slingshot, using pearls as bullets, and shooting at a colorful bird standing on a branch in the yard.

This colorful bird is very common in Feng, but among the seven countries, only Fenglai Country has this bird, which is extremely rare.

Chirp——

The pearl shot by Tang Chuyuan caused the flowers on the tree to fall to pieces, and the colorful bird seemed to be hit as well.

The palace maids on one side immediately started to flatter him.

"Your Highness has great accuracy!"

"It's no exaggeration to say that he can shoot an arrow through a target from a hundred paces away."

Unexpectedly, before the smell of flattery had dissipated, the falling colorful bird flapped its wings hard and flew away before hitting the ground.

The pride that had just appeared on Tang Chuyuan's face was immediately tinged with anger.

"It's all your fault. You scared away all the birds in our temple!"

The palace maids on one side all knelt on the ground.

"It is our fault. Please forgive us, Your Highness."

In unison: "Your Highness, please forgive me!"

At this time, Tang Chuyuan turned his head and looked at Su Changzhao.

"What do you think we should do with them?"

“…”

Su Changzhao, who was being questioned, was worrying about how to get out of his current situation and went to the empress's bedroom to look for the pearl.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but complain in my heart: What's the point of dealing with this? Your own skills are not as good as others, and you blame others?

The next second, a plan came to mind.

"I think that although they are wrong, the actual problem lies with you, Your Highness."

After he finished speaking, there was a sound of people gasping for air all around him.

Every palace maid was thinking: How dare this ugly maid say that!

Everyone knows that Tang Chuyuan's slingshot skills are average, but who dares to tell the truth?

This ugly maid is not only ugly in appearance but also has a slow brain. She actually pointed out Tang Chuyuan's weaknesses in person.

Little did she know that her action actually attracted Tang Chuyuan's interest.

"You said it was my fault. Are you saying my skills are not good enough?"

Upon hearing this, some people around were worried for Su Changzhao, some buried their heads even lower, fearing that they would be implicated, and some were gloating, fearing that Su Changzhao would be slow to cool down.

Su Changzhao entered the Golden Treasure Palace easily, where they had fought hard to get in, and was even brought back personally by their prince.

Not only that, on the first day, Tang Chuyuan gave Su Changzhao a lot of good things.

This made many people in the Golden Palace jealous of her.

Under everyone's gaze, Su Changzhao smiled innocently and said, "That's not what I meant. Your Highness did hit the bird just now. This is obvious to all. It proves that your Highness's skills are fine."

"Then why did you say just now that the problem lies with me?" Tang Chuyuan asked.

"Yes, to be precise, it should be the slingshot and pearl in your Highness's hand."

Tang Chuyuan looked down at the golden slingshot in his hand and the bag of pearls on his waist, then raised his head in confusion, "What's the problem?"

"The slingshot is a common thing. It is not even on the Weapon List. Your Highness' problem is that the thing you use is too luxurious, which affects your own strength."

"You mean, if I use a normal slingshot, that colorful bird won't run away?"

"Your Highness is wise."

After Su Changzhao changed his appearance, he looked simple and his tone of voice was also simple.

What such a simple person says will naturally be much more credible.

It was the first time that Tang Chuyuan heard someone say this to him. He was skeptical and ordered someone to find an ordinary slingshot.

He habitually picked up the pearls in the bag on his waist, but as soon as he picked up one, he loosened his fingertips and let the pearl fall back into the bag.

When he turned around and wanted to ask Su Changzhao what to use as a replacement, Su Changzhao picked up two stones and gave them to him.

"Your Highness, please use this." He had a silly smile on his face.

"..." Tang Chuyuan said nothing more and grabbed the two stones in her hand. He felt they were rough and uncomfortable.

But he still put the stone on the ordinary slingshot.

He wanted to try and also wanted a result.

Aim at a colorful bird on another tree, pull the slingshot, and release it at the right time.

With a whoosh.

The stone flew out and hit the target accurately!

This time, the colorful bird fell firmly to the ground and never flew up again.

Seeing this, Tang Chuyuan's face lit up with joy.

"It really hit the target, it didn't fly away!"

A palace maid on the side hurriedly flattered the emperor.

"Your Highness has great accuracy!"

"It's no exaggeration to say that he can shoot an arrow through a target from a hundred paces away!"

Tang Chuyuan ignored these people and looked at Su Changzhao excitedly: "Did you see it?"

"Well," Su Changzhao smiled, "This is your highness's strength, but do you want to learn something more powerful?"

"More powerful?"

Tang Chuyuan felt that he was already very powerful. Could it be that the ugly palace maid in front of him was hiding her true abilities?

"Yeah, that's it."

As he spoke, Su Changzhao snatched the slingshot from his hand, turned around and shot a stone at the farthest tree.

Clearly only one bird was shot out, but the next second, the birds on the branch were unaware of the danger and were shot down in an instant, falling from the branch like falling fruits.

! !

Tang Chuyuan was stunned!

"How did you do that?" he asked in astonishment.

Su Changzhao smiled innocently: I injected a bit of internal force into the stone I shot out, and calculated the time and distance accurately when it flew out. Before it reached the tree, the stone would be dispersed by the internal force.

The radiation spread out over a large area. The colorful bird was small in size, and the residual force of the debris was enough to knock it down.

He said: "This is my own creation, called 'All Down to Me'!"

"..." Tang Chuyuan didn't know what to say about this name, but he admitted that it was very powerful, so he said sincerely, "Teach me!"

Seeing that the big fish had been hooked, Su Changzhao said with a smile, "I have never taught this skill to anyone else, but if Your Highness wants to learn it, I will definitely teach you everything I know.

With your intelligence and talent, I believe you will be able to surpass me in a few days."

Su Changzhao saw Tang Chuyuan's face showing pride again, and said:

"But I have a request."

Tang Chuyuan's expression suddenly changed: "What's the matter?"

"Haha," Su Changzhao quickly smiled wider, "It's not a big deal, I just love reading storybooks since I was a kid.

If Your Highness can find a variety of storybooks for me and let me read them every day, I will be very grateful. "

Tang Chuyuan raised his chin, "How difficult is this?"

He turned his head and gave orders, asking them to immediately collect all the storybooks on the market.

Turning back: "Is this okay?"

Su Chang waved and smiled: "Thank you, Your Highness."

In fact, the story was false, but she could use this as an excuse to ask Tang Chuyuan to stop bothering her.

In this way, Su Changzhao successfully had some free time.

When she has free time, she can continue to look for the pearl.

However.

The news that she was doing very well in Jinbao Palace eventually spread back to Qiongyi Palace.

"Have you heard?"

"What?"

“She is the ugly maidservant that His Highness Chu Yuan personally took away a while ago. It is said that she is now deeply favored by His Highness Chu Yuan.

For her, His Highness Chu Yuan specially sent people to the streets and spent a lot of money to collect storybooks to bring back to the palace. It is said that it was because the ugly maid loved to read them. "

"Is this true? Does that ugly maid have such great ability?"

"Oh, how come you are so uninformed? This matter has already spread everywhere."

"It's so unfair. That ugly maid is so ugly and stupid, how could she scare His Highness Chu Yuan into looking for a storybook for her?"

Unbelievable!

"Not only that! I also heard that after His Highness Chu Yuan brought the person back, he ran into the other person's house every day. The two of them were even pulling slingshots hand in hand in the yard, shooting colorful birds. Wow, they are so intimate~"

A few palace maids were concentrating on gossiping under the corridor, little knowing that everything they said was heard by the handsome man around the corner.

The ten fingers of Yu Jiuchen hanging by his side gradually curled up.

An inexplicable jealousy grew in my heart.

That night in the Peony Palace, he discovered Concubine Bai Shu's secret. He had been busy with investigations and deployments in the past few days, and had put Su Changzhao's matter aside for the time being.

Who would have thought that in just a few days, her relationship with Chu Yuan would progress so rapidly?

Su Zhuang came to his side at some point and listened to the palace maids gossiping under the corridor, and suddenly understood everything.

"Your Highness..." she called softly.

Yu Jiuchen turned and left before she could finish her words.

The moment he turned around, Su Zhuang could clearly see the anger in his eyes.

Your Highness, are you angry?

Although he was surprised, he hurried to catch up.

Su Zhuang followed behind without saying a word. After leaving Qiongyi Palace, she found that they were heading in the direction of Jinbao Palace...
