Three years later.

Royal Garden, Lakeside.

"Puyu, look, the peach blossoms are blooming!" Accompanied by a clear voice, a man in eunuch clothes stepped onto the grass and walked to the peach blossom tree by the lake.

He looks to be somewhere between a teenager and a young man, with charming eyebrows and smiling face, a face as fair as jade, and a pink blush on his cheeks.

She did not wear a eunuch's hat and crown on her head, but used a red hairband to hold up a ponytail and threw it behind her head. She walked with a lively and carefree manner.

He stretched out his plain white hand and picked off a small flower on a low branch, put it on his fingertips and looked at it carefully.

Behind him, an unparalleledly handsome young man in black robes and a jade crown followed slowly.

Hearing the boy's call, a smile broke out on his stern face, and he said softly: "Be careful, don't fall into the water."

Then he quickened his pace and walked to the little eunuch, Xu held his hand to prevent him from stumbling.

Fortunately, there was no one here. Otherwise, if others saw that the stern and dignified Crown Prince showed concern for a eunuch in the court, their jaws would probably drop.

And that eunuch was naturally Mo Qin, who had been pampered infinitely by Cui Yuzhen in the past three years and was almost praised to the heavens.

The original beauty that appeared in the rough has transformed into a world-famous beauty.

He turned his head, smiled at Cui Yuzhen, and said, "Okay, don't worry. I'm not a child, I won't fall down casually."

The beauty under the flowers is charming and charming, and it is a scene where the peach blossoms on the face contrast with each other.So beautiful.

Cui Yuzhen was stunned for a moment, and then returned to normal.

With a smile on his lips, he gently took Mo Qin's hand, stretched out his other hand and broke off a peach branch.

"Okay, this peach blossom is the most beautiful in bloom. Can you take it back and let Momo appreciate it slowly? Don't stay here anymore, it's dangerous." Cui Yuzhen was like a worried old father, coaxing and carefully leading People leave.

Mo Qin nodded obediently: "Okay, listen to Puyu."

Back on the trail, the two of them didn't shy away.Holding hands, walking side by side.

If it weren't for the fact that one of them was a noble prince and the other was a slave eunuch, they would really look like a close couple.

Cui Yuzhen has changed a lot in the past three years.

When they first met, the handsome and cold phoenix eyes were dyed with a ruthless look, like a sharp blade thrust straight into the eyes of the person looking at him, making people shudder.

When there was a spy in the East Palace, he was deeply stimulated by the almost successful sneak attack.

After becoming crowned, the prince became more suspicious and keen, managed his subordinates more harshly, and became more ruthless when fighting against the ruling party.

The only thing that remains unchanged is Cui Yuzhen's love and interest in Mo Qin.The relationship between the two did not become indifferent as time went by, but instead became more intense and intimate. It has developed to the point where Cui Yuzhen asked Mo Qin to call him "Pu Yu".

Although three years have passed, Chao Lin is still not completely dead.But according to informants, his health was deteriorating.His death date should be this year.

If Cui Ling had not become the crown prince at that time, once the prime minister died, no one would be able to shake Cui Yuzhen's position as crown prince.

----

We wandered around the Imperial Garden for a while.

There are people from the East Palace guarding the surroundings, so there is no need to worry about random people waiting to come and bump into you.

Afterwards, Cui Yuzhen forced Mo Qin to return to the palace on the grounds of strong wind.

After half an hour.

A handsome man with cold eyebrows and light eyes led a fair and beautiful little eunuch into the gate of the East Palace.

The servants have long been accustomed to this scene. His Highness the Crown Prince has allowed Mr. Mo to call him "Puyu". In the past three years, all kinds of delicacies and silks and satins have been sent to Mr. Mo in waves. The treatment is comparable to that of Mr. Mo. Princess, what else is impossible?

After dinner, Cui Yuzhen went to the queen to see the eighth princess and took Wei Ming out of the palace.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and the slanting sunset finally completely submerged the buildings in the distance.

At night, turn on the lamp.

In the dormitory, Mo Qin dismissed his servants and said that he wanted to be alone and read.After Lingsu and the others went out, he groped in the dark and sneaked around from the back door to the corner of the wall.

Mo Qin had already memorized the patrol hours of the East Palace guards, and no one would pass by the southeast corner during this period.

I looked around to make sure no one was there.Mo Qin squatted down and carefully pulled out a moss-covered stone brick in the third row from the bottom.

In the groove under the brick, I suddenly found a letter.

With his heart beating rapidly, Mo Qin took out the letter and put it into his sleeve.Then reset the bricks.

After doing all this, he returned along the original path and returned to the dormitory unimpeded.

It takes less than a cup of tea to go back and forth, and it can be seen that it has been done skillfully many times.

Mo Qin didn't waste any time. The secret message in his sleeve was more likely to be exposed the longer it was hidden, and it had to be dealt with immediately.

It was a piece of plain white paper, but when Mo Qin held a corner and waved it over the flame of the oil lamp, the writing on it was revealed on its own.

There are only a dozen small words:

On the night of the [-]th, meet at the southeast corner of the East Palace.

Read it once and burn it immediately with the flame of an oil lamp, leaving no trace.

At the end, Mo Qin looked gloomy, a little nervous and a little worried---

Since the assassination of the Chancellor three years ago, the fifth prince never contacted him for a private meeting. Everything was communicated through secret messages.

Could it be that Cui Qiu encountered some emergency and needed his help?

That night, Mo Qin leaned in the prince's arms, thinking about what was on his mind, and stayed up all night.

----

Fifteen, night.

The southeast corner has always been the weakest point in the East Palace's guard. It is close to the garden courtyard and not many people usually come here.It is also far away from the prince's bedroom and study, and has nothing to do with confidentiality.

Originally, Mo Qin was still thinking about how to send the prince away, but in the afternoon, the Queen Mother summoned the prince over to discuss something.This left plenty of space for Mo Qin.

He was not a fool, so he naturally knew that the so-called summons by the Queen Mother must have been Cui Qiu's handiwork.

In just three years, the power of the fifth prince has penetrated into Cining Palace, which is quite powerful.It seems that with his current power, it is more than enough to gain a foothold in the palace.

Mo Qin felt a little at ease, and once night fell, he repeated his old tricks.With the last glimmer of light from the sky, head to the southeast corner.

When he arrived, he found two figures already standing in the corner, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

Mo Qin walked over cautiously, half-knelt on the ground and said solemnly: "See Your Highness."

Three years have passed and Cui Qiu has grown a lot.It is almost taller than Mo Qin.The body is not as young and delicate as before, but has become thin and strong.The child at that time grew into a healthy and strong young man, and his every move was tainted with the dignity and majesty of the royal family.

Wearing black clothes and a black cloak, with a hood on his head, only a pair of eyes were exposed.It was fluttering in the darkness, like some kind of wild beast dormant in the jungle.

The person standing next to him was also fully covered, and judging from his figure, he should be Qiu Si.

Mo Qin knew that time was tight and he had no time to greet the other party.After Cui Qiu said "no courtesy", he stood up and asked, "I wonder if your highness is here in person to discuss something urgent?"

Cui Qiu's exposed eyes flashed with darkness and intolerance for a moment.

Taking a deep breath, he said to Mo Qin: "Mo Qin, you have worked hard for the prince by lurking around him these past few years. But now, this palace needs your help. I want to know if your heart is still the same as it was three years ago. Same as before?"

Mo Qin's eyes were firm and he replied: "I have never had a second thought for Your Highness. If I can help His Highness share your worries, I will die without mercy!"

Cui Qiu nodded and continued: "Three years ago, we failed to assassinate the Prime Minister, allowing him to survive until today. Now, Chaolin is at the end of his game and determined not to survive this winter. The prince also knows this."

"At that time, Cui Ling will lose the qualification to compete for the throne. The prince will be the only one in the family. But he has long suspected that this palace has the intention to compete for the throne. When Cui Ling falls, in order to consolidate the crown prince's position, the prince will inevitably start targeting This palace."

"Moreover, the prince has recently intercepted a letter about the transaction between our palace and the Jiangnan Salt Governor, and plans to report it to His Majesty in the near future. My father is already suspicious. If he knows about the relationship between our palace and the local salt governor, he might punish me for collusion. Officials, accused of intending to rebel, completely despise this temple."

"Mo Qin, are you willing to help me steal that secret message?"
