Chapter 376 Preparing to Catch an Adulterer
Liu Yaoyao seemed to have fallen into a vortex of time in Concubine Ning's magnificent palace.
For several days, there was nothing but splendor and silence around the four walls.
Neither the graceful figure of Concubine Ning was seen, nor the occasional dragon roar of the old emperor was heard.
Even her husband Ling Chenyu seemed to have disappeared without a trace, as if blown away by the wind.
This sudden isolation from the world caused ripples in her heart.
There is both anxiety about the unknown and a desire for freedom.
When she entered the palace, the shadow guards around her were not allowed to follow her.
In addition, she had no reliable maid around her, so she didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Alas, this palace life is really more complicated than unlocking a chain lock."
Liu Yaoyao talked to herself, playing with a strand of falling hair in her hand, with an unyielding light in her eyes.
But she has always believed in herself and not in fate.
Thinking of this, she decided to take the initiative.
She called the older girl named Baozhu beside her.
Although this girl was bought recently, she is very diligent and keeps an eye on all directions.
It is a rare good helper.
Of course, Liu Yaoyao knew in her heart that the "little fox" Lin Nuoer was standing behind this girl.
However, in this deep palace, she believed that Baozhu was smart enough to protect herself and not become a knife to others.
"Baozhu, you clever little head, go and find out what our Imperial Concubine Ning is up to lately."
Liu Yaoyao's lips curled up into a sly smile, her eyes flickering with anticipation.
When Baozhu heard this, she immediately understood what he meant, bowed and left in a hurry.
Not long after, she came back with a mysterious smile on her face.
It was as if the most beautiful flowers had just been picked from a secret garden.
"My lady, you are truly a prophet!
Concubine Ning has been busy preparing for a big event these days. She said she wanted to pray for Your Majesty, and she has chosen an auspicious day to go to the Huguo Temple in person to pray for Your Majesty's peace and prosperity for the country and the people, and for His Majesty's health.
Baozhu gestured as she spoke, and it looked as if she would also kowtow a few times devoutly.
There was a hint of amusement in Liu Yaoyao's eyes.
"Oh? Pray for blessings? This Imperial Concubine Ning is quite a good person. But, doesn't her going here give me a great opportunity?"
With something in mind, Liu Yaoyao's lips curled up into that familiar smile again.
This time, there was not only cunning in that smile, but also a bit more confidence and expectation.
Concubine Ning's trip to the Huguo Temple was not only to gain favor with the old emperor.
It was also a good opportunity for her to take action.
After all, in this magnificent cage, every time you go out, it may be an opportunity to escape from the bondage.
"Baozhu, go prepare some simple clothes. Also, help me find out the route to Huguo Temple and the surrounding terrain."
Liu Yaoyao lowered her voice, a cunning light flashing in her eyes.
"Remember, do it quietly and don't let anyone find out."
Although Baozhu was a little confused, she didn't dare to ask more questions when she saw Liu Yaoyao's serious expression. She nodded quickly and turned around to prepare.
Liu Yaoyao took advantage of this rare free time to start planning her "escape" route.
Of course, she knew in her heart that this so-called "escape" was just another way of finding freedom in the palace.
After all, she had no intention of really leaving the center of power, she just wanted to get rid of the constraints and boredom of the past few days.
A few days later, Concubine Ning finally set off for Huguo Temple.
Liu Yaoyao asked for leave from Concubine Ning on the grounds of feeling unwell and stayed in the palace.
After Concubine Ning and her entourage left, she immediately changed into the simple clothes prepared by Baozhu and quietly slipped out of the palace under the cover of night.
The moonlight was as bright as water, and its silver glow spread all over the palace walls.
Liu Yaoyao's figure jumped between the interweaving of light and shadow, just like a civet cat wandering in the realm of gods at night, performing a real version of the "cat and mouse game".
She silently recited Baozhu's route map, which was so detailed that it even described the moss in the cracks of the palace walls.
The corner of his mouth curled up into a smug smile: "This pearl, it would be a waste of talent if she didn't become a spy."
After passing through the last winding corridor, Liu Yaoyao's eyes suddenly opened up.
The familiar yet slightly unfamiliar outline of Prince Chen's Mansion appeared particularly peaceful under the moonlight.
She took a deep breath, feeling mixed emotions, the warmth of returning home, but also a hint of inexplicable uneasiness.
After all, she was the "princess" who had been "away from home" for several days.
Liu Yaoyao gently pushed open the door and walked in on tiptoe, afraid of disturbing the tranquility.
However, when she quietly approached the back garden, a low and slightly smiling conversation sounded like a spring breeze and inadvertently entered her ears.
"Brother Chen, this cup is for you. May our friendship last forever, and may our loved ones get what they want."
It was Lin Nuo'er's voice, a little drunken, but unable to conceal the sincerity in it.
Liu Yaoyao's heart suddenly tightened and her steps stopped involuntarily.
His ears were erected longer than a rabbit's, for fear of missing any word.
"Nuo'er, there's no need for us to say more. It's just..."
There was a hint of subtle hesitation in Ling Chenyu's voice, which then turned into a chuckle.
"Come on, let's drink to those we protect together."
"Someone to protect together?"
Liu Yaoyao's heart was filled with alarm bells, and countless bloody plot clips instantly emerged in her mind. She felt like the heroine chosen by the screenwriter, standing at the center of the stage of a drama of misunderstanding.
"Okay, Ling Chenyu, you big pig's hoof, you actually drank alone with Lin Nuo'er under the moonlight without telling me, and you still talked about protecting someone together!
Is there something wrong with my ears, or is the moon just too round, making your two shadows look so ‘harmonious’? "
Liu Yaoyao was complaining crazily in her heart, but she tried to keep calm on her face, ready to “catch the adulterer on the spot”.
