Because they were afraid of being discovered if they got too close, the two of them could only hide far away.
It was late at night and everything was very quiet. Even the quietest conversation could be vaguely heard.
Maid A: "Let me tell you, today I saw the king get very angry with the little princess."
Maid B: "Is this true? Isn't it said that the king dotes on the little princess the most? All the treasures he finds are sent to her Youning Palace."
Maid A: "That's true. I actually saw them quarreling, and the queen was trying to persuade them. In the end, the king got angry and locked up the little princess."
Maid B: "If you ask me, those who are not biological children are miserable. What's the point of giving them more material things? When the previous queen was in power, the palace was so lively. The two princes came here every day. The whole palace was full of laughter. It's nothing like the current one, which is cold and deserted."
Maid A: "You can just say this to me, but if the Queen hears it, you will be in trouble!"
**
[Private Chat] Ye Mi: The first maid knew that Youruo was locked up. Do you think it is possible that she knew where she was locked up?
Because they were worried about being heard, the two of them used private messaging.
[Private Chat] Yan Qiu: Wait for me.
Ye Mi didn't know what he was going to do, but he finally let go of the hand that had been tightly holding her.
She lowered her head and looked at the moonlight. Her hands were slightly red, especially at the base of her thumb, where there was a clear mark of a thumb.
When he looked up again, Yan Qiu was walking towards him carrying Maid A who had been knocked unconscious by him.
Because of dim vision, he did not see clearly what Ye Mi was doing. He only saw that she seemed to be looking down at her hands.
[Private Chat] Yan Qiu: Find a place to ask.
Ye Mi couldn't take two people with her, so she had to drag Maid A, Yan Qiu and follow behind him.
She looked and saw a small garden in front of the queen's palace. The rockery in the garden was very large and circular.
They could hide in there.
When Maid A woke up, she suddenly saw that she was tied up with a cloth wrapped around her mouth. She was so scared that she kept making "woohoo" sounds.
Ye Mi felt a little reluctant, so he squatted beside her and said, "We just want to ask you some questions, and then we'll let you go."
Maid A glanced at Ye Mi and felt that the woman looked familiar.
The situation was urgent and she couldn't remember who it was.
She was a little hesitant, not knowing what the two people wanted to ask, but it seemed that this woman would talk more than the one next to her.
As she thought about this, her eyes involuntarily turned to the man standing nearby.
Yan Qiu didn't talk as much as Ye Mi. He looked at the mermaid on the ground calmly, and the coldness in his eyes seemed to freeze people to death.
"If you don't tell me, you will die."
"..." Ye Mi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Maid A was almost frightened to death.
The person who could break into the palace without making any noise was obviously not a simple person, and his words of killing her were obviously not false.
Ye Mi also felt that this was too gentle, "We just want to ask about the little princess's feelings, and then we'll let you go, otherwise..."
Otherwise, she didn't think about how to deal with it for a long time.
The maid was already frightened, and she took the words she hesitated for a long time without saying them as a threat.
She nodded quickly.
When Ye Mi untied the cloth from her mouth, he gave her a warning look: "Don't think about calling for help. You might as well think about whether it will be faster for others to come or for us to get rid of you."
"What do you want to ask..."
"Is the little princess locked up?"
"Are you here to save her?" Although Maid A was not afraid of death, she was not a fool and quickly guessed their purpose.
Ye Mi raised his eyebrows, "Just answer it."
"yes."
"Do you know where you are being held?"
"I don't know... I'm not lying! I really don't know. How could I know such a thing!" She was afraid that these two people would think she was lying, so she opened her mouth quickly to explain.
I was a little excited, so my voice was a little loud.
"Keep your voice down."
Maid A immediately lowered her voice, "I was just delivering tea to the queen when I saw the king having the little princess locked up. I really don't know where exactly she was locked up."
Ye Mi felt that she didn't seem to be lying and felt a little depressed for a moment.
"If you think about it, she might be imprisoned somewhere."
When Maid A knew that they were only trying to save the little princess, her fear immediately eased a lot.
She lowered her head, and suddenly raised it again after a while. "I vaguely remember that those people took the little princess to the back of the main palace. It seemed that they were heading...to the left?"
On the left is the palace of the third prince.
Is that where she was imprisoned?
Just as she was about to ask something, she heard voices outside.
[Team] Mijiu: Are you two doing well? We have already exchanged shifts with the guards outside. Do you need to come in and help you?
[Team] Shengguang Yaoyao: We have learned some other information. The little princess might be imprisoned in the palace of the third prince.
It seems that what the maid said is true.
Ye Mi tied the cloth strip to seal her mouth again.
However, this time the binding was a little looser, so it wouldn't hurt, and the rope wouldn't be easily removed.
"We can't release you for now. This place isn't that remote. Someone will find you in the morning."
Maid A looked at Ye Mi and then nodded.
**
After they left Maid A there, they prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Yan Qiu looked around calmly, and when he caught a glimpse of a tree, his eyes became a little dim.
"What's wrong?"
"No, let's go."
Rather than wandering around randomly, it would be better to have someone familiar with the place lead the way, so they let Cangji in.
With Cang Ji leading the way, although the speed was a bit slower, at least they avoided a lot of detours, and the time consumed was actually less than the previous trip to the queen's palace.
It was clearly late at night, but the third prince's palace was brightly lit.
There was no one guarding outside.
The three people quietly approached the palace gate and heard a male voice and a female voice coming from inside.
Cang Ji was a little excited. If Ye Mi hadn't held him back, he would probably have just barged in.
They all recognized that the female voice was Youruo's.
And that male voice, if I’m not mistaken, is most likely the third prince Huang Shi.
In addition to the sound of the two people talking, they also heard the sound of things breaking and falling to the floor.
Ye Mi was also a little worried.
If Youruo and Huang Shi started fighting, I don’t know if she could win.
She wanted to poke a hole in the window paper to see what was inside, just like what she saw in TV dramas, but she found that the windows here were made of sea rocks.
Not to mention puncturing it, it was good enough that she didn't poke a hole in her own finger.
