Lu Wan stayed in the palace for a while, but she never found a chance to get close to the study.

That day, Mo Yan'er mentioned that she wanted to eat pastries from the capital, but Yucheng was far away in the south, and it was impossible to buy pastries from the north.

Lu Wan suggested doing it herself, and she and her servants worked all afternoon, making all kinds of pastries.

"Yan'er, come and try it. This is your favorite plum blossom cake."

Mo Yan'er's eyes lit up. With Lu Wan's company these days, Mo Yan'er's complexion gradually improved.

But Lu Wan found that every time he saw King Xu, his expression was cold, even with a hint of fear.

She made a few insinuations, but Mo Yaner seemed unwilling to mention her pillow partner.

"Is this the taste you've had before?" Lu Wan asked Mo Yan'er with a smile.

After Mo Yan'er tasted it carefully, her eyes became misty: "I haven't eaten it for a long time. I thought I would never be able to eat it in this life."

Lu Wan frowned slightly: "It's not like I won't go back to the capital. Why do you have such an idea?"

Mo Yan'er looked out the window with a calm expression and said in a cold tone: "I don't know why? I always feel that I may never return to the capital in this life!"

Lu Wan's face changed: "Don't say stupid things. If you want to go back to Beijing to visit relatives, let the prince give you a break. You can take your children back to see your parents. Your Majesty, the benevolent Emperor, will definitely allow it!"

Mo Yan'er glanced at the maid aside, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

Lu Wan didn't ask any more questions. She could move around freely in this mansion, but Mo Yan'er seemed not to be able to. She always followed people wherever she went.

There were people guarding her inside and outside the house even when she slept at night. Lu Wan wanted to sleep in the same room with her many times, but was rejected by the grandmother beside her.

After dinner, Lu Wan said she was going to the garden to eat. She packed the remaining afternoon snacks in a food box and walked towards the study.

When the guard at the door of the study saw someone walking towards the study, he immediately clasped his hand on the knife at his waist.

"Who is it? The study is such a big place, please leave quickly."

Lu Wan walked to the light with a smile and said to the two of them, "It's me!"

The two men immediately put their hands down on their waists. Lu Wan would greet them every day when he passed by here. The guards here already knew him.

"Miss Lu!" The two of them greeted each other with cupped hands.

Lu Wan walked up to the two of them with a food box and said with a smile: "I made some pastries in the afternoon, and there are still a lot left. The weather in Yucheng is warm, so these pastries can't be kept for too long. Thinking of the hard work of the two of you, these pastries Why don't you two help eat it?"

The two looked at each other, and one of them had a troubled expression on his face: "Girl, the prince has an order not to eat randomly during the night watch. Please forgive me, girl."

Lu Wan took out the pastry by herself, and the fragrance of the pastry wafted out. She smiled slightly: "What? Are you two guarding against me? The prince is not here today, and I have good intentions. If you two To refuse is to look down on Lu Wan."

"This..." One person thought for a while, reached out and picked up a piece of pastry, put it to his lips and took a bite, "Then try one!"

Seeing this, another person also ate a piece. Lu Wan said happily: "If you two want to eat again in the future, you can tell me and I will make more."

With that said, he turned around and left with the food box in hand.

About half an hour later, a figure came out from behind the rockery and looked at the two guards lying on the ground with a smile.

Lu Wan looked around and made sure no one was there, then opened the study door and walked in.

The guards of the palace would inspect the study every half an hour. Lu Wan put some poison in the pastries. The guards of the palace just passed by the study before the two fell down. Lu Wan had half an hour to look for what he needed in the study. s things.

Lu Wan didn't dare to move too much to look for the things inside, but just flipped through it briefly. There was nothing special on the desk and bookshelf.

Her eyes began to focus on the wall. She stepped forward and knocked on the wall one by one, but did not find any hollow spots.

It seems there is no secret room in the wall.

She walked around the room and carefully looked at the layout, but found nothing unusual.

She was walking and suddenly stopped.

She leaned down and knocked on the ground, and suddenly found that the sound on the floor next to the desk was not as dull as other places.

She pulled out the golden hairpin on her head, inserted it into the gap and pried it hard. Sure enough, there was an empty floor.

Lu Wan's expression changed when she saw what was inside. The moment she unfolded the letter inside, her heart was in her throat.

There was also a map inside, which showed the deployment of troops in the entire city of Yu. When Lu Wan saw the 200,000 troops and horses written on it, Lu Wan's expression suddenly changed. The 200,000 troops and horses far exceeded the regulations of the imperial court.

Lu Wan didn't have time to think too much. She concentrated on it and stared at the map for a long time.

Time passed slowly, just when Lu Wan put the things back where they were and was about to get up and leave.

As soon as she walked to the door, the door was suddenly opened forcefully from the outside. King Xu stood at the door with a gloomy face. Lu Wan was stunned on the spot.

"what are you doing here?"

Lu Wan's expression changed, and the whole study was surrounded by people, and dark arrows were pointed at the door of the study.

King Xu stared at Lu Wan coldly: "Lu Wan, I treat you well and allow you to move around the palace as you please. How dare you drug the guards in my palace, enter my study and steal things, and say, who Sent you?"

Lu Wan gritted her teeth hard, her heart already in her throat. She tried her best to smile: "The prince is joking, I didn't see the guard when I came to this courtyard. I didn't know this was a study, so I just casually came in and took a look. Look, I didn’t realize this was a study until I came in. No, it was all a misunderstanding when I bumped into the prince just as I was about to leave!”

"Misunderstanding? I don't know?" Situ Xu said sarcastically: "The guards were stunned at the door. Don't tell me that you didn't see them. Do you think that I, like you, have no brains? Even if you are so despicable, Dare to tell lies."

As he spoke, he looked deeply at the pale Lu Wan in front of him: "Do you really think that all the guards in this palace are useless?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Wan turned pale with shock: "You..."

She suddenly realized that Situ Xu did this on purpose and deliberately allowed her to walk around the house just to catch her.

Situ Xu saw her thoughts and said coldly: "As soon as you entered the house, I knew something was wrong with you. Overtly and secretly, I wanted to find out something from Yan'er. It's a pity that the king's people are keeping a close eye on you, so you have been unable to get it. It's just a chance. I didn't expect you to take action tonight. Tell me, where are your accomplices? "

Lu Wan shook his head and said: "I have no accomplices. I came here really for Yan'er. She suddenly lost contact. I was worried about her. You didn't reply when I wrote to you. I also came to the study to know about the relationship between you and her. In the end what happened?"

"Although you have been guarding me and pretending to care about her. But a person's eyes can't deceive. There is fear and uneasiness in her eyes when she looks at you. All her unhappiness is not because of losing her child, but because of the loss of her child. Because of you, what did you do to her? Why is she so resistant to you now? "
