[Oh my god! The back door of the side hall really leads directly to Chunhua Garden! This should be Yuhua Lake! ]
Qiao Jiaojiao knew that many ladies who attended the palace banquet liked to gather by Chunshui Lake. There was no one here, so it must be Yuhua Lake.
Qiao Diyi quickly glanced into the lake, fearing that the Fourth Prince's small body was already floating in the water.
Fortunately, the lake was calm and there was nothing there.
So, the Fourth Prince is still in the side hall?
I didn't hear any movement in the front, so Yu Zhaoyi is also in the side hall at this time?
What are they doing in there?
Not only Qiao Diyi was confused, but even Qiao Jiaojiao was also bewildered.
It’s just that there are too few scenes for Yu Zhaoyi in the original novel, and her death is unclear, so Qiao Jiaojiao can only rely on herself to figure it out.
In the side hall, the Fourth Prince was curled up in a small cabinet, holding a brocade box in his arms, with a look of shock on his face.
And Yu Zhaoyi was changing her clothes with the help of Liu Lu.
Liu Lu's worried voice continued to murmur, "My Lady, you are in great favor now. After much thought, I still think that you are taking too much risk."
"My lady, if there is anything you want to know, I will ask it for you!"
As Yu Zhaoyi changed her clothes, a sarcastic look appeared on her charming face.
"The Holy Grace is strong? Liu Lu, it's fine if others say such things, but don't you know my situation?"
"He lay on top of me and called other people's names all day long. I was almost sick of it!"
"Does he think I need his favor? A dog man who is obsessed with the dead, I——"
"Oh my God, please stop talking!"
When Liu Lu heard this, her face turned pale with fright.
She knew that her mistress used to be a dancer, and was a bit careless and did things carelessly, but such bold remarks were worthy of being executed even for the entire clan!
When the Fourth Prince heard this, he was so shocked that his eyes widened and his heart started pounding!
He had just taken the gift prepared for Jiaojiao and was about to leave when Yu Zhaoyi rushed in and started:
"Liu Lu, quickly give me the maid's uniform you prepared!"
The Fourth Prince was stunned when he heard this. Why did Concubine Yu change into the palace maid's clothes?
As a result, while he was stunned, Yu Zhaoyi had already started to take off her clothes. He could only hide in the closet, thinking of leaving after Yu Zhaoyi finished changing.
Who knew that he would hear such outrageous remarks!
"Good Liu Lu, don't be afraid. I won't say anything more. Let's move faster and don't let Shen Lang wait anxiously."
Shen Lang! ?
The fourth prince opened his mouth slightly.
The Shen Lang mentioned by Yu Zhaoyi must not be her father. The Crown Prince is a clean man and will definitely not have anything to do with the palace concubines.
The third brother was not feeling well and left early, but we cannot rule out that it was him.
The other one is...Second Brother!
Liu Lu sighed secretly, knowing that she could not stop Yu Zhaoyi.
"My queen, just do it. You saved my life out of kindness. Now I will help you get what you want no matter what!"
After Yu Zhaoyi was dressed, she couldn't help but feel moved when she heard these words.
"Good Liu Lu, besides Shen Lang, you are the only one who treats me the best in this palace. If I can leave the palace, I will definitely take you away!"
Liu Lu didn't dare to hope for anything after hearing this, but she still smiled and said, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
Yu Zhaoyi turned around and asked, "How is it? Is it similar?"
Liu Lu nodded, "As long as you don't show your face, no one will be able to see the flaws."
Yu Zhaoyi felt relieved and took Liu Lu towards the back door.
"Liu Lu, lead the way quickly. That person has been tied up for so long, don't let her do anything weird."
Liu Lu comforted Yu Zhaoyi, "Don't worry, Madam. I ordered someone to throw her in a very secluded place. No one dares to go to Yuhua Lake, so it won't be a problem."
Squeak——
The door to the back hall was opened and the voices gradually faded away.
The fourth prince suddenly jumped out of the cupboard, his face pale.
How dare someone have an affair with a concubine?
If...if that person is my second brother, if he exposes this matter, will the position of the crown prince no longer be threatened?
In fact, children’s minds and senses are the most acute.
The Fourth Prince had always felt that Emperor Yong treated the Second Prince the most specially and looked at him the most tenderly.
Father has never looked at my second brother the same way he has at me, even at him and my brother the Crown Prince...
The Fourth Prince knew that he was outnumbered and wanted to go find the Crown Prince first.
But when he quietly opened the door of the back hall a crack and found that Yu Zhaoyi and the palace maids were getting farther and farther away, he realized that time was running out.
If he went to look for the Crown Prince now, he would definitely not be able to catch up with Yu Zhaoyi and the Shen Lang she mentioned.
He didn't want his brother the Crown Prince to be suppressed by his second brother anymore.
The Crown Prince is the best heir to the throne. Only the Crown Prince can inherit the throne and bring well-being to the people of the world!
Thinking of this, the Fourth Prince pinched the jade pendant on his waist and felt infinite courage in his heart.
As long as he catches the criminal red-handed, he will make a big fuss. He must make sure that Yu Zhaoyi and the Shen Lang she mentioned are punished!
Thinking of this, the Fourth Prince touched the gift in his arms and said to himself:
"Sister Qiao, wait for me. After I help my brother the prince, I will give you a gift!"
Thinking of this, the Fourth Prince put the gift aside with great care, then opened the door to the back hall and chased out while crouching down.
Qiao Jiaojiao and Qiao Diyi have already seen the sneaky Yu Zhaoyi.
Qiao Jiaojiao was struggling over whether to follow Yu Zhaoyi to see what happened, or go into the side hall to look for Silly Bai Tian. But before she could come to a conclusion, she saw Silly Bai Tian sneaking out to chase her.
He hid among bushes, rockery and stone pillars all the way, and it seemed that he was following Yu Zhaoyi in a very serious manner.
When Qiao Jiaojiao saw this scene, she suddenly had an idea.
[Could it be that Silly Bai Tian met with misfortune because he followed Yu Zhaoyi? ]
[There really is something about this Concubine Yu! I'm afraid the cause of her death is not simple either! ]
Without Qiao Jiaojiao's reminder, Qiao Diyi had already followed quietly.
Seeing this, Qiao Jiaojiao nodded immediately.
[Yes, second brother will follow quietly, without showing up, so that the murderer who killed the silly and innocent girl can be caught! Let's do a mantis stalking a cicada, while the oriole is waiting behind! ]
Here, three groups of people were hurrying in the same direction. On the other side, in Chunhua Garden, Meng Guxue was standing at the arch entrance of Yuhua Lake, clenching her hands nervously.
After the palace banquet just ended, she wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Shen Lang, but as soon as Emperor Yong left, Shen Lang also left in a hurry, leaving her with a hard time looking for him!
She thought about it over and over again, and remembered that in her dream, during the Dragon Boat Festival palace banquet, Shen Lang had taken her to the Yuhua Lake to see the statue of Empress Yu Liu.
In reality, although the two of them have not yet met, Shen Lang will surely go to see the statue.
If I go to Yuhua Lake in advance to wait for him, wouldn't it be a good opportunity for me to have a detailed conversation with him while no one is around?
Thinking of this, Meng Guxue no longer hesitated, and hurriedly walked through the archway and walked inside.
