This time, Li Chaoru felt that he had slept for a long, long time...

But when she woke up again, the sky was still dark.If it weren't for the fact that she was in a completely unfamiliar environment at this time, she might have thought that she was stuck in the time before she got drunk.

She is now lying on a pink and tender pineapple bed.The bed curtain is covered with beautiful wreaths, and even the embroidery is exquisite double-sided embroidery.

Although it is very beautiful, it does not look like something that my own home would use.

After all, she is the only girl in the house, and she has never loved these things.

that……

Where did I drift to?

"Sister Ru? You're awake!"

Hearing the sound, Li Chaoru noticed that at the other end of the room, there was a large living man who was embroidering.

"You Xian?"

Then she rubbed her swollen head, looked around and said, "Is this in the palace? Strange...how did I come to the palace?"

I wanted to try to get out of bed, but my whole body was sore and limp.After a little struggle, Li Chaoru fell back again!

Jin Youxian hastily put down the things in her hands, and asked the maid guarding the door to fetch a basin of hot water.

Then, she sat on the side of the bed and gently helped Li Chaoru cover the quilt.

Explained: "Don't be afraid, this is the ear room in my bedroom."

"Yesterday. You drank too much. Brother Huang and I happened to meet you on the street again. Brother Huang asked me to bring you into the palace to take care of you."

"Sister, you can't drink so much next time, you've slept all day and all night!"

one day one Night?

Has it been that long?

And yesterday...

Li Chaoru frowned, in pain, but his head started to function, thinking of something.

Yes.

Wasn't it because she happened to see Jin Queru with other women when she was waiting in front of the Baishuang Garden yesterday, that she went to drink?

With a bitter smile, Li Chaoru turned his head and asked Jin Youxian seriously: "Youxian, tell me the truth. Jin Queru is like him..."

"Is there someone you like already?"

Jin Youxian blinked puzzledly, "Why do sister Ru ask such a question?"

Li Chaoru pursed his lips and said calmly, "Yesterday, I saw him walking with a woman with my own eyes, and they looked very familiar."

She knew Jin Queru well.

For so many years, besides himself, he basically has no close female friends.And those unfamiliar women, he would not let them get so close to him.

Unless...he likes her.

And Youxian said that she met her with Jin Queru yesterday, so she must know who that woman is, right?

Jin Youxian paused for a moment, then said with a faint smile, "If my sister saw it, it should be me, right?"

"My sister is probably drunk. After all, I was with the emperor yesterday, how could there be another woman..."

"Youxian."

Li Chaoru interrupted her, and said calmly: "At that time, I hadn't drunk alcohol yet. Besides, I wasn't blind either. I wasn't so stupid that I couldn't recognize your back."

The situation fell into a brief silence.

Jin Youxian lowered her eyes and did not speak.

She got up and walked to the low shelf next to the bed, rolled up her sleeves slightly, and threw the towel into the hot water basin just brought by the maid.Then, fish out the towel soaked in hot water and wring it dry.

She folded the towel, walked to the bed and gently wiped Li Chaoru's face and hands.

Maybe it was because he couldn't stand Li Chaoru's gaze looking straight at her.

After a long time, Jin Youxian sighed softly, looked at Li Chaoru helplessly and said: "Sister Ru, sometimes you are too smart, maybe it's not a good thing."

She threw the towel back into the basin, stood up and said seriously: "I can assure my sister, if Brother Huang really has a woman he likes, that person can only be you. As for the others..."

Jin Youxian apologized: "Other things, I can't tell my sister anymore."

Is it really?

Li Chaoru thought for a moment, and finally chose to trust Jin Youxian.Because she didn't think that this gentle and kind girl would deceive herself.

only……

Why have Jin Queru kept more and more secrets over the years?

So much so that she didn't even know him anymore.

"The Moon Sacrifice has not yet passed, and the mistress of Lingjiu Temple will go to the ancestral hall of Changle Palace to pray for the queen mother later."

Looking at the sun outside the window, Jin Youxian apologized to Li Chaoru: "Sister Ru, I'm afraid I can't accompany you, I have to go first."

Li Chaoru quickly responded: "It's okay, you can go to work quickly, you don't need to accompany me!"

Jin Youxian nodded, and said with a faint smile: "My sister must be hungry after lying down all day. I have sent people to the small kitchen to prepare food. My sister remembers to rest well and take care of herself."

After finishing speaking, she walked out slowly and helped Li Chaoru close the door from the outside.

But after going out, Jin Youxian didn't rush to leave as she said.Instead, he leaned against the wooden door and watched the sky be silent for a long time.

She didn't know if it was right for her to do so.

Perhaps, she should persuade Li Chaoru to give up?

The sooner she gives up, the sooner she can be freed.After all, if my sister and the emperor's brother are not related, there is no point in sacrificing my best years to redeem another person.

but……

She is the one whose blood is thicker than water with the emperor...

She has no reason to stop him, and she doesn't want him to live in an abyss that he can't get out of.That's why I hope that there is such a person who can restrain him, but there is no guarantee of the price of being unable to restrain him.

Perhaps, she is a selfish person.

……

Because he had slept for a day and a night, Li Chaoru couldn't sit still in the room after eating.

Looking at the dark sky outside, she thought: It should be okay to go for a walk now, right?

Jin Youxian hadn't come back yet, so Li Chaoru could only say hello to the aunt in charge of her palace, and then went out.

Since she was a child, she has been to this palace many times, so she is naturally familiar with it.

Unknowingly, she walked to the most remote "Linhu Road" in the imperial garden.

Although the terrain here is remote and few people come here on weekdays, it is also a good place surrounded by mountains and rivers.Sitting in the gazebo and listening to the cicadas chirping quietly is quite comfortable.

Li Chaoru sat in the least noticeable position in the gazebo, silently reducing his sense of existence little by little.

Recently, she always seems to be at a loss.

This look of looking forward and backward and shrinking back and forth is not at all like her.

Perhaps, this is what my father said 'grow up'.

The sky darkened little by little.

The gazebo is built on the side of Linhu Road, so it is inevitable that there will be some damp atmosphere.But after sitting for a while, Li Chaoru felt that his shoes and socks were a little wet.

She raised her foot, trying to shake the dew on the shoe, but found that two green leaves had stuck to the sole of her shoe at some point.

Looking into the distance, I saw green leaves floating on the surface of a lake.The shimmering piece is truly beautiful.

Gently tearing off the green leaves on the soles of the shoes, Li Chaoru's eyes flashed with confusion.

Strange, it's only summer now.Such a hot weather should be the best season for plants to grow. How could so many leaves fall?

Carefully groping for the leaf in his hand, it was tender green, and it didn't look like he was sick somewhere.

Suddenly, Li Chaoru noticed that something was wrong with Ye Bei's touch...

She turned the leaf over, only to see that the back of the leaf, which was supposed to be flat, was poked with many holes with needles!It is densely packed, but it is very regular when combined together.

It's just like……

A font she didn't recognize.

Scatter these leaves with special hidden marks into the river, and this river just leads to the direction outside the palace...

It means that someone is using this river to convey news!

A chill came from behind.

Li Chaoru was startled by his guess.Especially when she saw a person spreading leaves by the lake through the gaps between the pillars of the gazebo, she was so frightened that she almost screamed out!

She quickly covered her mouth, squatted down secretly, and curled up behind the gazebo pillars, trying to hide herself.

However, her curiosity and spirit of seeking knowledge, which is not afraid of death, always instigated her to get ahead.Go and find out who it is who threw the leaves.

Finally, curiosity overcame her fear.

Li Chaoru tried his best to relax his movements, stood up, and turned around.Little by little, she poked her forehead out of the pillars, and when half of her face was exposed, she immediately stopped, not daring to poke any more.

In the dark and dark night, it was difficult to see anything clearly with only one eye, although the distance between that person and her was no more than five meters away.

As soon as he gritted his teeth and became cruel, Li Chaoru poked his whole head out!

She squinted her eyes tightly, and when she fully saw the face of the man who sprinkled leaves on the edge of Linhu Road, she suddenly widened her eyes again!

How could it be him? !

Suppressing the anger in his eyes, Li Chaoru silently retracted his body behind the pillar and hid himself.

No one would have thought that the conspiring collaborator would be a born noble prince.Moreover, a child who is over ten years old already has such deep scheming!

At first, he was only skeptical, but the second he saw Jin Queli, Li Chaoru already dared to conclude that the small holes made on the back of the leaves were definitely Nanjiang characters.Coincidentally, besides leading to the outside of the palace, this Linhu road also leads to the southern border.

Does Qin Suxi know?

This was the first thought that crossed my mind.

Although her friend had an extremely bad reputation in the Jin Dynasty.But after these days of getting along, Li Chaoru doesn't think that Qin Suxi is a complete villain.

What's more, he wants wind and rain now, so why bother to collude with a defeated vassal state in southern Xinjiang?

There is only one possibility, that is, he was used by Jin Queli...

This kid, he approached Qin Suxi with a purpose from the very beginning!

But if he just picked him up like this, then Qin Suxi would definitely be implicated as well.

How to do……

What should she do...
