After walking a little further, they reached the secret passage where they needed to hide temporarily.

When another eunuch arrives, they can hide in the swill bucket and leave the palace.

This took a very long time and was not fast, requiring several trips. Fortunately, there were many people in the palace, and basically many泔水桶 went in and out every day, so no one cared.

The guards guarding the palace gate that day did not check any of the swill buckets. It was hard to tell whether they were lazy or did it on purpose, but in the end they all managed to escape.

Seeing those people excitedly waiting to be rescued, Lin Qingyan said that her hairpin fell off and left. No one would wait for her on purpose, but would just kindly urge her to hurry up and not be discovered.

Because if she was discovered, it might cause the whole group of them to be discovered.

However, she would not reveal the location of these people. She was going to the palace toilet to change her clothes. The bag she carried on her back contained those clothes, a set of eunuch uniforms borrowed from other concubines.

Previously, a concubine secretly made a few sets of eunuch uniforms and tried to use them to escape but was caught. Now she borrowed a set.

Now all the concubines hid in the secret passages and dared not come out. Those who wanted to use the toilet would not go. She was the only one who came out.

In fact, no one came to the palace toilet nearby. It should be that the people who secretly helped them thought of this situation, so they not only sent away the people on the road, but also sent away the people nearby.

This was convenient for her, as she could disguise herself as a eunuch and walk out without being noticed by anyone.

In order to avoid being noticed, Lin Qingyan always walked with her waist slightly bent and her head down.

She was walking towards the place where she met Yang Li in her previous life.

It was to prove my guess and to see if what the letter said was true.

It is snowing lightly now. The snow will melt after a while when it falls on people's bodies, but if you walk in the snow for a long time, there will be a layer of snow covering your body.

Lin Qingyan followed her memory to look for Yang Li, but the first person she met was not him, but another person, a person who looked almost exactly like Yang Li - Yang Li.

Yang Li has normal black eyes and looks exactly like Yang Li, but he doesn't look feminine at all. He just looks gentle and refined, like a modest gentleman.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Seeing Lin Qingyan staring at him in a daze, Yang Li walked up to her politely, smiled slightly and asked this question.

The voice is gentle, like a spring breeze.

Lin Qingyan shook her head, pointed to her throat and shook her head again, indicating that he couldn't speak.

"I see." Yang Li expressed his understanding, and then asked, "Where are you going? Can you show me the way?"

The palace was full of twists and turns. He seldom stepped into it and was not familiar with the road.

Where are you going?

Lin Qingyan asked him using sign language.

However, Yang Li said, "I'm sorry, I don't understand sign language. I can tell you the name, can you take me there?"

Lin Qingyan nodded and let him speak. At the same time, she confirmed one thing: Yang Li understood sign language, but Yang Li did not.

"I want to go to the Castration Palace. Can you show me the way?"

Lin Qingyan was a little surprised to hear his request.

Had this man never been to the eunuch's palace before? The man who lived there was his own brother, a full brother from the same mother?

It was just that the eunuch palace was not on the way to where she was going, and she didn't really want to take him there...

Lin Qingyan wanted to express her opinion but had no paper or pen. She thought that he was going to the Eunuch Palace to find Yang Li, and she was also going to find Yang Li, so she simply took him to the place where she and Yang Li had met before.

In order to ensure that Yang Li would be there, Lin Qingyan deliberately left the hairpin there, just like in her previous life, and did not pick it up.

Under her guidance, Yang Li met Yang Li by chance on the road.

And Yang Li was standing there holding a hairpin, just like in his previous life. He was wearing thin, rough gray clothes and looked like a person of low status.

That person was indeed Yang Li.

"Brother!"

Yang Li walked over happily and greeted him.

Yang Li just turned around and looked at Yang Li and her walking towards her indifferently, not looking very happy.

He asked coldly, "What are you doing in the palace?"

His tone was full of displeasure.

Yang Li said: "I came to you to ask if you will go home on New Year's Eve? Grandma is old and she is worried about you."

Unexpectedly, Yang Li snorted coldly and mocked: "Want to see me? I'm afraid you want to see when I die. Go back and tell her that I live longer than her, and she will die first."

The tone of voice was unpleasant as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Brother, don't say that. Grandmother actually--"

"Shut up, don't come to me if you have nothing to do, get out of the palace!"

Before the person could finish speaking, Yang Li drove him away with a bad attitude.

Lin Qingyan had heard people talk about the relationship between the brothers and knew that there was some discord, but she didn't expect it to be so disharmonious. And just as people said, it was Yang Li who was full of malice towards Yang Li, but Yang Li treated him with courtesy.

"Brother, I——"

"Are you hard of hearing? Can't you understand what people are saying?"

Yang Li looked at him with disgust and spoke hurtful words.

Lin Qingyan thought, no wonder the world called him Black Crane, saying that he had a bad character that was hard to describe.

But Yang Li didn't want to leave just like that, so he asked for something to say: "Brother, whose hairpin is that in your hand?"

"I don't know, I picked it up." Yang Li said coldly, "Go away now, don't get in my way, I get annoyed when I see you."

While speaking, Yang Li deliberately pushed Yang Li, almost causing Yang Li to fall onto Lin Qingyan who was standing nearby.

……

After Yang Li left.

Seeing that Lin Qingyan was still not leaving, Yang Li said in a bad tone, "And you, fake eunuch, what do you want to do by staying here? You don't even know how to greet me, and you can't even pretend. Only a fool like Yang Li can't recognize it."

I didn't expect to be recognized immediately.

Lin Qingyan quickly explained to him using sign language.

[I brought Lord Yang Li here on the way. Actually, I came to——]

"You're picking up hairpins, right?"

Yang Li threw the hairpin in his hand into her arms with a cold attitude, which was completely opposite to his previous life.

Lin Qingyan got her hairpin and didn't know what to gesture for a moment.

"He is even more stupid than Yang Li. He could even lose his hairpin while walking. I don't know when he will lose his brain."

Yang Li spoke harshly, and his words were even more hurtful than what he heard in the eunuch palace that day.

Lin Qingyan thought that people's description of him as a sarcastic and mean person was indeed based on facts.

"Well, take your worthless hairpin and get out of my sight."

After driving Yang Li away, Yang Li now drives her away in the same way.

She thought, this is really a crane that only knows how to hurt people.

But she didn't plan to leave, so she started gesticulating.

[Please give me a chance. I want to stay in your palace and work as a eunuch.]

She was not sure whether Yang Li would agree, just like she was not sure whether he would agree when she knelt outside the palace.

But if he had not agreed before, she could still go back to Changshou Palace, but now if he doesn't agree again, she will have no place to stay in this palace.

Because the palace would not arrange accommodation for a little eunuch who appeared out of nowhere, nor would they fail to discover this little eunuch of unknown origin, and would certainly not fail to investigate her origins.

And finding out her background... is a capital crime.

Lin Qingyan was gambling, this time using her own life as a bet, betting that Yang Li would agree.
