Less than a day after Xun Yangzi appeared, the palace got the news.

The emperor sent his most favored eunuch to announce the decree and invite the person into the palace.

It was two days later when Xu Yao got the news.

One day, she was sitting in the yard basking in the sun.

But Quan'er came over and gave her a pomegranate flower.

Of course, the pomegranate flowers in this season are not real ones, but flowers made of velvet, which are so light and realistic that they look indistinguishable from the real ones.

Girls of this era all like this kind of flower, which looks delicate and charming when worn in their hair.

But when Xu Yao saw the flower, he immediately sat up and asked, "Where did you get it?"

"There is a lady at the side door. She gave me some candies and asked me to help pass on a message. She said she would give it to you and you would go out to see her."

Xu Yao smiled and touched her head, grabbed a bag of sesame candy and gave it to her, asking her to keep silent and not tell anyone else about it.

Quan'er nodded and left happily.

Xu Yao then quickened his pace and reached the side door.

There was an unfamiliar girl outside the door. When the girl saw her, she asked, "Are you Miss Xu?"

Xu Yao nodded, "Your Excellency?"

This girl was pretty and gentle. Seeing that no one was around, she whispered, "Madam Liu asked me to pass a message to you. She said that she felt uncomfortable staying in the palace and wanted you to find a storybook to bring in to relieve her boredom."

This was the secret code between Xu Yao and Madam Liu. Before Liu Moyan entered the city and the palace, she told Xu Yao that if someone from the palace came and gave her this message one day, it would mean that she would be in danger and could not stay in the palace and would have to leave.

But leaving must be reasonable and legal, and must not disgust the palace.

Xu Yao told Liu Moyan at the time that she could grind the caterpillar juice into powder and apply it on her body.

This medicine can cause bumps that resemble smallpox.

This was what Xu Yao used to explain to Liu Moyan after he recovered from his illness and came out of the side hospital.

Liu Moyan was very happy when she heard about such a good thing.

Because Xu Yao accidentally bumped into her and caused the bump, Liu Moyan felt that it was God's help for her. Fortunately, she insisted on not sending him away.

She asked Xu Yao to get some out, maybe they would be useful in the future.

During the beauty pageant, not even a piece of clothing could be brought with them, let alone other things.

The purpose is to prevent people with evil intentions from smuggling things into the palace and harming the royal family.

So Xu Yao could only prepare the medicine secretly outside, and wait for Liu Moyan to open up channels in the palace and bring the stuff in, and then he would hand it over to the messenger.

When Xu Yao heard the news from the palace maid, he did not rush to get the medicine. Instead, hesitantly asked, "Is my wife okay in the palace?"

The maid seemed to be hesitant, and Xu Yao handed her a ten-liang silver note, "Sister, please come and deliver the message. I finally got the news from the palace. My wife is very concerned. Can you tell me a few insignificant things, sister?"

When the maid heard her say this, she hesitated for a moment before saying, "There are rumors in the palace that the Third Prince has a crush on the Second Lady of the Liu Family and has secretly given her a lot of gifts. Because of this, the girls of the Liu Family have been envied and ostracized in the palace."

These are all things that are out in the open. Even if she didn't spread it around, everyone would know the news. It's okay to say these insignificant words.

Xu Yao heard it, smiled slightly, and understood.

It seems that the third prince suddenly expressed his love to Liu Moyan, which scared her.

She was afraid that if she stayed in the palace, she would be chosen by the Third Prince.

Then, she and Pei Shuo are not destined to be together.

Liu Moyan is now worried about Pei Shuo, so of course it is impossible for her to go back to the palace. That's why she hurriedly takes medicine to avoid the talent show and escape from the palace.

But Xu Yao still didn't give the medicine to the palace maid. It was a little unsafe to let her take such an important thing back.

After Xu Yao thanked her, he sent her away.

The palace maid did not dare to stay, so she took the money and left in a hurry.

Xu Yao began to think, is it possible for him to break into the palace and deliver the message?

The answer is definitely no. Even if she had the ability to run to the emperor's dragon bed and shave all his hair, she couldn't do it.

There is no other reason. As long as she dares to enter the palace to meet Liu Moyan, her abilities will not be hidden.

The principle for workers is that you must never let your boss know all your cards, otherwise your boss will only exploit you even more unreasonably.

Xu Yao finally decided to find Pei Shuo. The person in the world who would least likely to hurt Liu Moyan was Pei Shuo, a love-brained man.

Xu Yao found an excuse to go out, and only went to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion after making sure that no one was following him.

Pei Shuo finally found Xun Yangzi and sent him to the palace. Because he was injured, he was recuperating at home these days and did not go on duty.

He heard the servant outside the door coming to tell him that the maid from the Liu family was looking for him, so he immediately went to find her.

"Fire girl, why are you here?"

Xu Yao looked around and remained silent.

Seeing this, Pei Shuo led the people in and waited for them to a secluded place, and asked Qing Mo to guard not far away.

"But is there something wrong with your wife?"

Xu Yao nodded heavily, "My Lord, the Third Prince might have set his eyes on my wife. My wife is worried that the Third Prince might take a fancy to her in the selection, so she asked me to send her a package of medicine so that she could pretend to be seriously ill and escape from the palace. There is no way for me to send this thing into the palace, so I have no choice but to come to you."

Then he handed him a bottle of medicine powder. Pei Shuo looked at the powder and asked hesitantly, "What is this?"

"A kind of powder that will make people break out all over their body after touching it. It is mildly toxic and will not kill people. I accidentally touched this thing before and got red bumps all over my body, as if I had smallpox. It was very scary and even the doctor couldn't diagnose it."

Pei Shuo was surprised: "There is such a powder? What is it made of?"

Xu Yao confessed honestly: "I got a kind of insect by chance, and its juice accidentally stained my body, which caused many red bumps. It took a long time to heal. But don't worry, my lord, this thing will only cause red bumps and a little itching. After two or three days, apply some medicine powder and you will be fine. It will not kill you."

After hearing her say this and seeing that her face was smooth without any scars, Pei Shuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Got it. I will help you deliver this thing to the palace, but you have to keep this matter to yourself. No matter who asks you, you don't know. Do you understand?"

Xu Yao nodded nervously, "I understand. Please help me, my lord."

As she said this, she turned around and was about to leave, but Pei Shuo called her back.

"Is there anything else, Prince?"

Pei Shuo took out a bottle of medicine from his arms and threw it to her. Xu Yao was stunned: "Sir, what are you doing..."

"I just remembered that you seem to be injured as well. This is the army's medicine, it's quite effective. You are so loyal to your wife, so I give you this medicine as a reward."

After saying that, he turned and left. Xu Yao sighed, this boy is trying to win people's hearts for Liu Moyan, he really loves her so much.

Madam Liu Er is really lucky. I hope these two can achieve a happy ending.
