Uneasy

Well, she really didn't expect An Lu to be so honest, so she couldn't help saying:

"You are stupid, you don't know the way here. If the empress of the palace suddenly wants to add food, let us deliver it, but we don't know the way and delay the time. At that time, rewarding a board is not enough; if the head falls to you There is no place to cry."

An Lu was terrified, determined to figure out the way next time no matter what.But still whispered

"It wasn't Dongzhu who said before, don't look around, or you will be punished."

The two were very close, her words were caught by Dongzhu's ears, God knows that little things would remember her words so firmly!

"Today is different from the past, and you will not be flexible."

"Isn't it because of Sister Dongzhu's advice?" An Lu flattered him.

Dongzhu's heart moved, if she had no problems, he would definitely protect her well.In any case, she was dragged into the water by herself.

The two left with the bowls and chopsticks after eating, but they didn't know that someone behind the tree had heard all this.With a turn of the eyeballs, a plan came into being.

Ever since An Lu knew the "rules" of the delicacy room, she kept making small moves, and she was cautious at the beginning.However, once she was caught, the maid in charge just glanced at her, turning a blind eye to her and it was over.An Lu also became bolder, and the food has improved a lot.An Lu suddenly felt that it would be good to just stay in the palace for a year.

Dongzhu felt that the preparation was almost done.At dinner, she pretended to have a stomachache and asked An Lu to watch for her once.Seeing that she was in severe pain, An Lu didn't shirk it, and he readily agreed and followed the team with the dish.Because of Dongzhu's previous point, An Lu made a special effort to recognize the way, and soon realized that he was delivering food to the queen.

According to the usual procedure, after handing over the dishes to the maid who took over, An Lu stood outside the palace gate and waited silently.However, not long after, a person was pulled out from Fengqi Palace, begging for mercy repeatedly.An Lu was terrified and had a bad premonition.

Soon, the premonition came true.The maid was escorted to this side.Vaguely, An Lu heard their conversation.

"Is it her?"

"No."

"Is it her?"

"No."

"Don't blame our family for not reminding you, if you dare to cover up or grab and bite indiscriminately, be careful and walk around."

"I don't dare, I don't dare." The maid said repeatedly.

Soon, the man stopped in front of An Lu.After seeing An Lu, the man became excited immediately, meeting her eyes, An Lu felt like the other party's life-saving straw; at the same time, a glint of success flashed in the eyes of the palace maid, but An Lu had no time to distinguish whether it was him or not. I read it wrong.

"It's her!" The maid said excitedly.

The leading eunuch glanced at her and said casually, "Take it."

An Lu was stunned, and then her hands were pressed on her back, so strong that she almost cried.Almost being dragged into Fengqi Palace.

In the palace, all the palace people did not dare to breathe.The woman sitting on the main seat was dressed in a gorgeous service, but her face was not very good-looking.On the table in front of her, a silver needle reflected an ominous black in the candlelight.And on the ground, a plate of unrecognizable pastries lay there alone.

Time went back to the main hall a quarter of an hour ago.

When Bu Qinyan saw the maid who came in with osmanthus cake, she winked at Xia Shuang.Then, Xia Shuang made a direct move, throwing the prepared stone at the maid's ankle.The maid immediately fell down, and the plate in her hand was smashed to pieces, and the delicate sweet-scented osmanthus cake on it was crushed to pieces because of the maid's subconscious action of supporting the ground with her hands.

"Test." Xia Shuang ordered to a court lady.

The court lady took out the prepared silver needle and stabbed it on the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.Then, black climbed up from the bottom up.

The tricks in this sweet-scented osmanthus cake can't be hidden.

"Come here. This person wants to poison me and plot wrongdoing. Let me take him down." Bu Qinyan spoke.

"Yes."

"Who else has the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, take them all." Bu Qinyan added, and then the previous scene began.

"Kneel down."

An Lu only felt a pain in the bend of his knee, and he knelt down involuntarily.In fact, this is the first time she knelt down in ancient times. She usually stays in the delicacy room, and she doesn't need to bow down when she meets a supervisor.It is impossible to say that it is willing, but, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

"You took the plate from her?" Xia Shuang asked instead of Bu Qinyan.

"Director Xia Mingjian, how dare this servant lie to you."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense, just asking if you are or not?"

"Yes, yes." The maid answered repeatedly.

"Let's just trust you and lock her up first."

Soon, the maid who was kneeling beside her was escorted away again.An Lu was the only one left kneeling in the hall, his hands were still pinned behind his back, unable to move.

"What's your name?"

"Speak!" The eunuch behind him scolded.

"An Lu." Only then did An Lu realize that her back was already soaked in sweat.

"Are you guilty?"

"Slave, I don't know."

Xia Shuang was about to continue talking just now, when Bu Qinyan, who had been watching the show for a long time with great interest, spoke up

"Let go of her first, I have something to reward."

4. Sweet-scented osmanthus cake ([-])

"Yes."

Soon, An Lu felt the force that restrained him loosen, and his hands regained their freedom.

"Thank you, slave." An Lu was very polite and kowtowed.What a joke, isn't it just courting death if you are still stubborn?

"You don't know what I want to reward you, don't worry about thanking you." Bu Qinyan wanted to see if the little thing could thank you later.

"This is a reward from the empress. No matter what it is, I will thank you." An Lu continued to please.

Bu Qinyan chuckled, she hadn't seen such a playful person for a long time.Those in Fengqi Palace are all palace people who have been screened by her, and they only have respect for her.Except that Xia Shuang occasionally jokes with her, this is also because the two have been master and servant for more than ten years, but they are also very restrained.

This An Lu was the first time seeing him.

"Then I will reward you with a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake." The words closed, Bu Qinyan and Xia Shuang observed An Lu's reaction at the same time.

An Lu's eyes lit up first, and she still had endless aftertaste for the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.But soon An Lu noticed something was wrong, because the surrounding palace people looked at her with sympathy.An Lu had some doubts, but he didn't have time to think about it, and thanked him again.

"Since you have accepted the reward, why don't you come and get it?" Although Xia Shuang didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the lady's gourd, she couldn't dismantle her.Seeing that An Lu was motionless like a wooden stake, he couldn't help but urge him.I just feel that An Lu has no rules.

"Yes." An Lu got up and stepped forward in a daze, but he couldn't see the shadow of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Under Xia Shuang's gesture, An Lu looked down, and saw the smashed plate and the faintly visible pastries.There was a buzzing sound in my head, and a thought flashed through, but...

An Lu raised his eyes quietly, trying to find even a ten thousandth hope, and then met the queen's playful eyes.An Lu bit the soft flesh in her mouth with her teeth, and she already understood what the queen meant.His body trembled unconsciously, and there was a flash of humiliation in his eyes, and then he hurriedly lowered his head to cover his expression.The fist beside him clenched secretly, still motionless.

"What? Are you going to resist the edict?" Bu Qinyan was very funny, and the condescension and joking in her tone made no effort to hide it.

An Lu swallowed, his eye circles were a little red, he still bit his lip and didn't want to speak.

"Oh." Bu Qinyan sneered, and then, An Lu felt a pain in the knee bend again, and his knee hit the ground straight.

"But it's not something you can eat if you don't want to!" The cruel sentence came from the superior.

An Lu tremblingly stretched out her hands towards the plate of pastries, at this moment, she clearly realized the strict hierarchy in this palace.For some reason, the originally delicious osmanthus cake tasted like chewy wax in the mouth, An Lu chewed mechanically, two lines of tears flowed down the cheeks and approached the mouth unconsciously, very bitter and astringent.While eating, An Lu felt dizzy for a while, and there was a smell of rust in his throat, and the last thought in his head was a strong unwillingness.Immediately, blood slowly flowed from the corner of An Lu's mouth.

"You step back." Seeing this, Xia Shuang immediately ordered the palace servants on both sides.

The courtiers in the palace were all eye-catching, and two clever people were about to step forward to carry An Lu away, but Bu Qinyan stopped them with their eyes.Although Xia Shuang didn't know what the lady wanted to do, she still waved the two of them away.

"Xia Shuang, do you think she is the poisoner?" Bu Qinyan casually looked at An Lu on the ground.

"Uh, this servant thinks she doesn't know." Xia Shuang spoke after considering it. As a servant, she had some sympathy for An Lu.

"That's too coincidental. She was the one who got the jade pendant; she was the one who was framed. Do you think this An Lu is too unlucky?" Bu Qinyan looked at An Lu's eyes gradually becoming deep.

"What does that miss mean?" Xia Shuang didn't dare to guess what Bu Qinyan meant.

"Since someone wants to borrow a knife to kill someone, how can I do what they want. Save her first." Bu Qinyan's tone seemed casual as if she was asking what to eat today.

"Yes." After hearing the order, Xia Shuang felt relieved.He took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom, took out a pill and fed it into An Lu's mouth.

After waiting for a while, An Lu regained consciousness.The rusty taste in her mouth reminded her that she had just been poisoned.And the poison obviously came from the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the ground; combined with the scene just now, An Lu immediately understood that he was being tricked.Today, Dongzhu was supposed to come.So, is she trying to plot against herself or is she too unlucky to help someone block the knife?

"Since you're awake, don't pretend." Xia Shuang knew martial arts, and quickly guessed from the change in An Lu's breath that she had awakened.

Seeing that he was seen through, An Lu immediately got up, his head still spinning rapidly.Since the queen pulled herself back from the gate of hell, it meant that she had no intention of killing herself for the time being, so she still had room for maneuver.She was a little self-deprecating, how did she come up with the absurd idea before when she knew that her life was in danger?No matter what, she always had to find a backer in the palace to save her life, otherwise, let alone a year, she might be able to report to the underworld in the next second.And in front of him was the biggest backer in the harem, so he settled down, An Lu made a decision.

Just as she was about to speak, the Queen's question landed first.

"Is this sweet-scented osmanthus cake delicious?" Bu Qinyan suddenly wanted to tease the person in front of her.

An Lu was speechless for a moment: Say it's delicious, wait until the queen lets me eat another bite, who knows if she will be merciful and save herself again; say it's not delicious, heh, you have something to say about the queen, why don't you? Do you want to live?

In the blink of an eye, An Lu decided to take a risk and not take the queen's words.She knelt again and straightened her body, then continued to speak the words cut off by the queen with a sincere face,

"Reporting to Empress Empress, although this sweet-scented osmanthus cake is delicious, some unscrupulous people added some seasonings that should not appear. The servant begged the Empress to give the servant seven days, and the person who added the ingredients randomly Find it out."

Bu Qinyan was satisfied with An Lu's responsiveness.With her eyesight, she can clearly see a series of changes in An Lu since she came in, and she also knows that the person in front of her is innocent.Especially the unwilling look at the end, if it can be used for oneself, it seems to be a good choice.

He looked at An Lu carefully again, and when his eyes touched her trembling legs, a smile appeared in his eyes.I thought this guy was really brave.

While Bu Qinyan was thinking, the hall fell into a dead silence.Although An Lu didn't move, her palms were already wet with sweat, and she could feel her heart beating faster and faster.If the queen doesn't give this opportunity, I'm afraid I will end my time travel journey.

"Seven days are too many. If you can't prove your innocence within five days, you can finish this plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake." Bu Qinyan finally spoke, and An Lu's heart that was about to jump out fell back to its original place.

"Thank you, slave." An Lu quickly reacted, joy flashed in his heart, and he bowed down.

At least his life was saved.

"Go down." Bu Qinyan waved her hand.

After An Lu left, Xia Shuang asked in a puzzled way

"Miss, why did you ask her to investigate?"

Although Bu Qinyan was unoccupied in the delicacy room, it was more than enough to find the culprit who drugged her.

"If someone is available, there is no need to rush to kill."

"Do you still need to investigate the osmanthus cake?" Xia Shuang asked uncertainly.

"check."

"Yes."

On the way back, An Lu kept replaying this indiscriminate disaster in his mind to get more clues.Otherwise, she would still die after five days.Although he didn't want to doubt Dongzhu, he couldn't help but wonder if Dongzhu wanted to harm him.

Outside the door, Dongzhu was waiting anxiously.There is no sign of An Lu among the palace people who came back from Fengqi Palace; from their whispers, Dongzhu knows that An Lu has been left behind.Moreover, it was because there was a problem with the dishes she handled.Could it be that An Lu really wanted to murder his master?

When An Lu walked near the dormitory, she saw Dongzhu standing under the lantern for the first time, and the worry on her face was obvious.Seeing her anxious look, An Lu felt that he was overthinking again.Maybe it was my bad luck to protect her from the disaster, and Dongzhu saved the original owner twice, so he could be repaying the original owner.

"Sister Dongzhu." Thinking of this, An Lu quickened his hesitant steps and approached Dongzhu from the backlight.

Dong Zhu felt relieved when he heard her voice, it seemed that he was worrying too much.

"Why did Xiaolu come back so late?" Dongzhu asked with concern.

"The Empress called me in and gave me a reward." An Lu said half-truthfully.

Dongzhu thought that the master simply wanted to meet An Lu, so he didn't think much about it.Glancing at An Lu, as a martial arts practitioner, Dongzhu quickly caught a trace of An Lu's disobedience.Seeing An Lu completely hidden in the dark, Dongzhu thought, and took advantage of An Lu not paying attention, and pulled him under the lantern.Seeing An Lu's appearance, Dong Zhu's pupils shrank.

"Little Lu, why are you vomiting blood!" Dongzhu's tone became anxious now.

Under the warm yellow light, what An Lu wanted to hide was invisible.It was only after she saw Dongzhu that she remembered how embarrassed she was. It was too late to clean up, so she could only pray that Dongzhu would not be seen when it was dark.As a result, things backfired and were finally discovered.

"Hey, sister Dongzhu read it wrong. This is the jam bestowed by the empress." An Lu prevaricated.

Dong Zhu's face turned cold, and his voice also turned cold: "Can you fool me for being a fool?"

"Uh, Sister Dongzhu, how dare I." An Lu also knew that he couldn't hide it, so he could only use a coquettish offensive to get away with it.

Dongzhu didn't like her tricks, and said seriously: "Xiaolu, what happened?"

"May I not say it?" An Lu whispered.

Dongzhu frowned, if An Lu was a spy, she wouldn't be able to come back alive; if not, then what happened to the blood?

"You don't think of me as a sister anymore."

"Sister Dongzhu, can you stop asking?" An Lu begged, she didn't want to involve Dongzhu in this matter.

"Do you not believe me?" Dong Zhu asked intentionally.

"No, sister Dongzhu don't ask anymore, I, I..." An Lu was still stubborn.

Dongzhu sighed, knowing that it is useless to push people into a hurry now, so he can only follow Mao's way.

"Okay, I won't ask any more. Let's go clean first."

"Yeah." An Lu, who thought he had escaped a catastrophe, immediately agreed, and then lay down on the bed to sleep after cleaning.He didn't give Dongzhu the chance to continue chasing and fighting fiercely.

The author has something to say:

small theater

Author: I don't know An Lu, what was your first impression of Queen Bu?

An Lu: Of course it is beautiful and sassy! (Extreme desire to survive)

Author: Well, please answer truthfully.The content of this interview will not be disclosed to third parties.

An Lu: Fierce, very fierce; indiscriminate, almost killed his future wife, vicious, very annoying.

Author: Thank you very much for your honest report.This interview ends here.

Bu Qinyan: I heard that some people say that Bengong is fierce, and it's a bit of a joke, and they don't distinguish between indiscriminate and indiscriminate. (bad intentions)

An Lu: Who?Who is not long-sighted to say my dear wife.

Bu Qinyan: Heh~ An Lu: I was wrong QAQ

5. Osmanthus cake ([-])

For the next half day, An Lu was absent-minded.I can't wait to observe everyone with a magnifying glass to find even the slightest clue.Unfortunately, it was all in vain.

At noon, An Lu stared at the unchanging meals, and the case was not going well, and his whole body was listless.

"Xiaolu." Dongzhu sat over, and was a little worried when he saw that An Lu didn't concentrate on eating.

"Huh? Ah?!" An Lu was obviously wandering away, and Dongzhu called her several times in a row before calling back the human soul.

"Little Lu, what happened last night?" Dong Zhu felt that it had been such a long time, and An Lu probably recovered.So, keep asking.

"Sister Dongzhu, didn't you agree not to ask any more questions?" An Lu still kept his mouth tightly shut, unwilling to reveal a single word.

"I see that your mind is out of order all day, and I am very worried."

"You tell the matter, and I can help you with ideas."

"How can you say that you were on duty for me yesterday, and something happened just now. I feel very sorry."

"If you still hold back and don't say anything, I will be anxious, and we will all have a hard time."

"But..." An Lu was confused by Dong Zhu's words, and tried to interrupt.

"Xiaolu, do you think I was plotting against you yesterday so you refused to tell me anything." Dongzhu looked very depressed.

"No, Sister Dongzhu." An Lu hastily denied, although she did doubt Dongzhu.

"Since it's not, then tell me. I'll give you some advice." Dong Zhu took the opportunity to say, for her, this was a good opportunity to draw the relationship between the two of them closer, and she naturally wouldn't miss it.

"Hey! Sister Dongzhu, I know you know more about the palace than I do." An Lu suddenly became unpredictable.

Dongzhu was taken aback by her tone, thinking she had discovered something.The face is still as stable as an old dog, and it depends on what An Lu has to say.

"I regard you as a good friend, so naturally I don't want you to get involved in these shitty things. I know you want to help me, but I can't push you into the pit." Finally, An Lu smiled wryly and stood up ready to leave.

Dongzhu's heart skipped a beat, feeling a little ashamed.Since he pushed her into the pit, he needed to bring her out safely.

Thinking of this, Dongzhu quickly got up, stepped forward and grabbed An Lu's wrist.

"Huh?" An Lu thought that Dongzhu had already retreated, and was delighted in his heart.As a result, the wrist was pulled again soon.

"Sister Dongzhu." She turned her head helplessly.

"You, you still don't know much about this palace."

"Ok?"

"Usually I am the closest to you. The so-called one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. It is the same reason. If something happens to you, the most important thing in this palace is to sit together. If you really regard me as a good friend, tell the matter. Come out. Let's solve it together." Dongzhu said seriously.

An Lu was taken aback for a moment, she felt that she and Dong Zhu had known each other for at most a month, even if they were close, they wouldn't be affected by her.However, her expression was somewhat uncertain.

Seeing that there is hope, Dongzhu said persistently

"Xiaolu, in this imperial palace, there are not many things that you would rather kill than not let go?"

In the end, the inner balance fell to Dongzhu.An Lu told the whole story of the cause and effect of the incident, and then rested his chin and meditated.

Dongzhu frowned after hearing this.This time the conspiracy was also aimed at Xiaolu, Dongzhu didn't forget that An Lu was pushed into the pool just after he arrived.However, there are quite a few people who have handled this sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and it would be unrealistic to check them one by one.The queen only gave it five days, no wonder Xiaolu was frowning.

"Don't worry, there are still four days." Dongzhu comforted.

"Sister Dongzhu, you don't need to comfort me anymore. I don't have a clue now, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the sun five days from now."

"This sweet-scented osmanthus cake is most likely tampered with in the delicacy room, you have to go in and have a look." Dongzhu suggested.

"I can't get in the delicacy room."

"Of course you can't get in through normal methods, and if you have to be on duty for the next four days, let alone investigate the case. It's not easy for you to come out and think."

"Hah!" In the room, An Lu was lying drowsy.Sneezing from time to time, I have to say that she really worked hard to survive.Last night, she came to the well alone while everyone was asleep.He picked up a bucket of water and poured it on himself. In order to prevent him from being unable to take leave due to a small cold, An Lu stood stiffly in the cold wind for a quarter of an hour before going back to his room to change clothes. Dong Zhu jumped when he saw her come in. .Touching her skin, I shivered from the cold.

"You..." Dongzhu has nothing to say, and this is also "attributable" to what he said at noon.

"Hey. I can ask for leave this time." An Lu's teeth chattered, and he couldn't speak smoothly.

Live up to expectations.The next day, An Lu felt hot all over.The person in charge was also speechless, not to mention doing work when she saw her appearance, even standing up was a problem.It was approved as leave, but this month's wages were also deducted.

While waiting for breakfast, all the palace people in the outer courtyard dispatched to deliver meals to the empresses of the palaces.An Lu strengthened his energy, and with a drowsy head, he sneaked into the inner courtyard of the delicacy room.At this time, the royal chefs were not idle.Instead, he began to prepare for lunch, and the delicacy room was full of busy figures.In order not to look too abrupt, An Lu took a basket of vegetables and walked aimlessly.People who saw it thought she was a maid delivering food, and no one doubted it.However, whenever she wanted to get close to the pastry making area, the royal chefs would look at her warily.In order not to arouse suspicion, An Lu gave up after trying twice, and could only wander around the periphery.

After walking around, An Lu regretfully found that he didn't get any useful news except that his head became more dizzy and his steps became weaker.Just as she was about to go back the same way, dejected, she was stopped by the steward inside.

"You, who is that?"

An Lu was startled, thinking that he had been discovered.His body was tense, and when he turned around and saw the man serving him, he immediately nodded and said,

"Boss, what are your orders?"

"Here are freshly picked sweet-scented osmanthus, you send them to dry in a hurry." The steward pointed in a direction impatiently.

"Oh, oh." An Lu was overjoyed and agreed repeatedly.

An Lu walked for a while in the direction pointed by the steward, and soon arrived at the destination.Looking around, I found that there were many sweet-scented osmanthus flowers placed in one place, so I walked over.

The maid in charge of taking over the sweet-scented osmanthus took the sweet-scented osmanthus from her hand and glanced at her.muttered

"Why are all the new faces here recently?"

An Lu's ears were sharp, and he immediately became interested.There is nowhere to find the real broken iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

"Sister Palace Maid." An Lu said sweetly.Having said that, the original owner's appearance is well-behaved and pleasing, coupled with An Lu's intentionally softening his voice, he confused the court lady for a while.

"what's up?"

"Is the face my sister said is the same as mine?" An Lu went so far as to omit the word maid.

"Pfft." The maid laughed out loud, thinking that the child was very interesting.Under An Lu's unclear gaze, he said

"You say it's a new face, so how can it be like you?"

"My sister misunderstood, I have a sister who also entered the palace. She looks similar to me, and I am looking for her recently." An Lu lied and came.

The maid did not suspect that in such a large palace, even if the sisters who came in at the same time were assigned to different places, it would be difficult to find them.

"I'm afraid it will disappoint you."

"Okay." An Lu said disappointedly, but he was already happy.There are no newcomers in the delicacy room recently, and that person mixed into the delicacy room just like himself, combined with the coincidence of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.Even if it was not the culprit, the accomplice did not escape.

"Don't be sad, maybe we will see you soon." The maid comforted.

"Yeah." An Lu smiled and left.

"Sister Qing, thank you for helping me watch the shift." A court lady came back from the side, and suddenly felt a stomachache for no reason.Fortunately, Sister Qing helped her watch, otherwise the manager would have to deduct money again.

"It's nothing, it's just a matter of raising your hands." The palace maid known as Sister Qing smiled and returned to her seat.

Fengqi Palace...

"Did you tell her the news?" Bu Qinyan asked Xia Shuang beside her.

"I already told her." Xia Shuang replied honestly, but her expression was a little confused.

"You can't see people dying for no reason." Bu Qinyan seemed to see Xia Shuang's question and was answering it.

Xia Shuang twitched the corners of her mouth. Although her young lady was not the one who killed people randomly, she was not a random kind person.Such reasons are not convincing at all.

"Miss Mercy."

Bu Qinyan let out a breath, and said, "There's no mercy, there are other uses for keeping her."

"After all, she is also available to fight so hard to survive."

On the other side, An Lu returned to the room excitedly.The originally heavy body became much lighter.She started brainstorming.The sweet-scented osmanthus is collected on the same day, and then immediately made into sweet-scented osmanthus cake.Now we only need to know who was not on duty the day before yesterday to basically determine the murderer.There are inner and outer courtyards in the delicacy room, and four stewards manage the maids and eunuchs in the inner courtyard respectively.Recently, there are no newcomers in the delicacy room, and the strangers in the eyes of the maids in the inner court can only be from the outer court.Before An Lu deliberately said that he was looking for his sister, the maid did not refute that she saw the eunuch.It meant that it was a court lady from the outer courtyard.The range narrowed a lot at once, which put An Lu in a state of excitement.When Dongzhu came back, she was still full of energy, not at all what a patient should be.

Seeing her happy, Dong Zhu knew she had a clue.

"Xiaolu has a clue? So happy." Dongzhu's tone was also much more relaxed.

After An Lu narrated the matter once, Dongzhu's heart was completely relaxed.Seeing that An Lu was still lamenting his good luck, Dongzhu couldn't help laughing.

"However, I don't know who was not on duty the day before yesterday."

"There are records on duty, and it should be in the hands of the supervisor."

"That doesn't mean you didn't say anything!"

"Could it be possible for me to steal that book back?"

"There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. You should rest early if you are still sick."

Now that the master has already made a move, it's not too much to do a little help yourself.Dongzhu thought to himself.

6. Sweet-scented osmanthus cake ([-])

At night, a dark figure sprang out from the residence of the maid of honor in the delicacy room, heading towards the room in charge.

That black shadow is naturally Dongzhu.She came to the steward's room, double-checked that the people inside were fast asleep, and then gently pushed the door open.Every time he pushed away, Dongzhu would hold his breath and wait for a while.When the door was wide enough for one person to enter, Dongzhu lightly entered the steward's room.Afterwards, the door was closed again in the same way to prevent the cold wind from blowing in and waking up the steward.

Dongzhu took a look at the room, the furnishings inside were similar to those of ordinary rooms in the inn.Compared with theirs, it is much better, at least it is a single room.Dongzhu glanced around, and finally fixed his target on a stack of notebooks on the table.He tiptoed to the table, out of caution, Dong Zhu checked the table to prevent any mechanism on it.After confirming that there was no danger, Dongzhu began to browse.

Because recording the on-duty situation is what the manager does every day, Dongzhu quickly found his goal.His eyes stopped on a certain name, and his eyes narrowed.Where in the world is there such a coincidence?

After writing down the on-duty situation on the day of the incident, Dongzhu put the notebook back in place, and finally left the room without anyone noticing.And the steward on the bed didn't know that his room was patronized last night.

In order not to let his information come too abruptly, Dongzhu didn't have dinner with An Lu at noon.Although An Lu didn't know why, he didn't think too much about the murderer.

It wasn't until seeing Dongzhu again at night that An Lu remembered to ask.

"Sister Dongzhu, where did you go this afternoon?"

"At noon, I went to check the news for you. You can basically confirm who is not on duty." Dong Zhu said the excuse he had thought up a long time ago.

"Wow! Sister Dongzhu is amazing!" An Lu wished he could look up to the sky and laugh.

"All the ladies in the palace didn't ask for leave for breakfast; Chuntao and Chunlan asked for leave for lunch; I asked for leave for dinner because of a stomachache." Dongzhu explained everything he wrote down last night verbatim.

"If you exclude Sister Dongzhu, there are still two people, which one Sister Dongzhu thinks is more likely."

"How did Xiaolu exclude me so quickly?" Dongzhu asked intentionally.

"If Sister Dongzhu is the murderer, how can she help me, right?"

"Aren't you afraid of my thief calling "Stop a thief?"

"I believe in Sister Dongzhu." An Lu said cheerfully.

Dongzhu is happy for An Lu's unreserved trust in Dong Zhu, but at the same time, she is worried that An Lu is too simple to survive in a place like the palace where he lost his life accidentally.

An Lu also has his own Xiaojiujiu: within three days, the queen must have a result.If Dongzhu was the murderer, he and she would have been killed by the queen long ago, how could we discuss the case together.

"Little Lu, don't trust anyone in this palace, you know?" Dongzhu said earnestly.

"I just trust Sister Dongzhu." An Lu said seriously.

"Hey, you." Dongzhu sighed.Forget it, he just took good care of her.

With a definite goal, An Lu thought the next step would be easy.However, she forgot that everyone in this imperial palace is the queen of the best movie stars - it is common for people to be able to smile at each other the next day after they hurt you yesterday.Therefore, An Lu deliberately swayed in front of the two of them separately, and neither of them showed any flaws.And there are only two days left before the deadline given by the queen.

"Sister Dongzhu, I have a plan. During lunch break tomorrow..." An Lu, who had been thinking hard all night, happily shared with Dongzhu the next day with two dark circles under her eyes.

"Okay." Dong Zhu agreed, but he was actually not optimistic about An Lu's plan.unless…

At noon, according to An Lu's plan, Dongzhu got a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus from a court lady who gave sweet-scented osmanthus.The excuse she used was that the steward was urging her, so she came to help.The maid didn't think too much, and went back to pick new sweet-scented osmanthus.But Dongzhu put the sweet-scented osmanthus in the place designated by An Lu and did not leave, but went directly to the drying area.

"Sister Qing." Dongzhu found the maid who had told An Lu the news last time, and the two were obviously old.

"Why are you here, Dongzhu?" Sister Qing was a little surprised.

"Since the master has tacitly allowed you to help her, then help others to the end..." Dong Zhu told An Lu's plan.

"You don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. We both belong to the delicacy room, and we haven't even seen each other for more than a month." Sister Qing joked.

"Isn't that reducing suspicion?"

"Okay, I know your difficulties. Come and chat with your sister Qing more often in the future."

"So sister Qing agreed?"

"Well, it's the master's intention not to let her die."

"That's good." At this point, Dongzhu was completely relieved.

"You really care."

"She is just a little girl who was accidentally hit and pulled in by me. I can't bear it."

"Don't rush to draw conclusions, there are a few people in this palace who are really ignorant of world affairs." Sister Qing disagreed, seeing An Lu's ability to formulate words from her mouth, Sister Qing didn't think she really didn't understand anything.

"I will be vigilant. Let's go first, lest she find out." Dongzhu said.

"There is nothing to feel guilty about, you are just following the master's order." Sister Qing finally said.

Dongzhu's back paused.

On the other side, An Lu was not idle either.While eating, she found Chuntao in a hurry.

"Chun, Chuntao." An Lu was out of breath.

"An Lu? What's the matter." Chuntao was a little puzzled, she didn't know An Lu well, and she didn't know why An Lu came to her in such a hurry.

"The manager just asked the two of us to go to the inner courtyard to help deliver a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus." An Lu said.

"Isn't this a job in the inner courtyard?" Chuntao complained, obviously upset at being interrupted from her lunch break.In the end, he was still unwilling, and reluctantly followed An Lu to the delicacy room.

It's time for a lunch break, the wife outside the delicacy room
