Not long after Yue Jinghua entered the alchemy room, the palace maid glanced behind her a few times as she left Liejiabao, with a hint of ridicule in her eyes.
I saw her getting angry, a cloud rising from her feet, she quickly dodged into the alleyway, and actually started running all the way.
The Liejiabao guard who was following behind was taken aback. Not long after he followed, he couldn't even see the figure.
The palace maid kept running forward until she reached the residence of Concubine Sha in Xiaoshang Palace before stopping.
The palace wall was about ten feet high, but the palace maid who took her life quickly disappeared among the pavilions of Xiaoshang Palace as if she was in a deserted place.
Beside the lake in Liu Palace, Princess Xiurong was playing sepak takraw with a palace maid.
Sha Fei, who was more than six months pregnant, sat beside the rockery beside the lake, with a smile on her brows and a peaceful look on her face.
The palace maid explained Yue Jinghua's reply and her reaction after getting the gourd. After hearing this, Concubine Sha pondered for a moment.
"Miss, I don't understand why you gave such a valuable gourd to someone you only met once," Gong'e said, but she did not call Concubine Sha the princess.
"Although that gourd is precious, it can only be used by the descendants of the Feng family. It is too early to say whether Yue Jinghua can really discover the secret of the gourd. Besides, that person entrusted me to take good care of Yue Jinghua.
"Hua, I'm just going to be a favor. He owes us such a big favor. If there is a conflict between Danlu and Shencai Palace in the future, I can have an extra bargaining chip in my hand," Concubine Sha's seemingly gentle brows and eyes flashed.
There is no trace of shrewdness, and the warmth he left on people earlier is gone.
The palace maid paused for a moment, but still couldn't restrain her curiosity, "It's just Miss, I don't understand why he helped a notorious loser again and again. Is there another incident like this?"
Hidden secrets.”
"How can you figure out the intentions of the person favored by God? You have already met Yue Jinghua, and you think she is a veritable waste?" Sha Fei brushed away a cigarette that was playing in her ear.
Willow branches.
"I dare not make any hasty conclusions, but according to what I have seen today, Lie Rou and Yue Jinghua are indeed ordinary people, without the slightest bit of mystical power. Even if Yue Jinghua has gained the attention of the Divine Tribulation Hall, she still needs to be with Lie and Yue Jinghua.
Sissi seems to be a little bit behind. As soon as I entered Liejia Fort today, I was watched." The palace maid replied after thinking for a moment.
"Which one is stronger and which one is weaker, we will know after a while," Sha Fei said indifferently.
On the other side, the takraw ball in the eldest princess's hand accidentally flew out and flew straight towards the lake. Gong'e beside her exclaimed and saw Princess Xiurong chasing the ball and falling into the lake.
Sha Fei flicked her sleeve in her hand, causing a few ripples to ripple on the calm lake surface. The sepak takraw ball floated lightly and was brought back to the shore along with the eldest princess.
Gong E nodded in agreement, and the two of them said nothing more.
In Liejiabao, in the Peony Courtyard, Lie Sisi had an angry look on her face, and Bi Zhi waited quietly beside her, not daring to say anything.
The two Lieyi guards who were supervising Yue Jinghua and Gong'e just now returned to Lie Sisi's place to take their lives, one after the other.
The news that Yue Jinghua was also going to participate in the final selection of the Royal Alchemist came so suddenly that Li Sisi was caught off guard for a moment.
Bizhi stepped forward cautiously, "Miss, actually you don't have to worry too much. Yue Jinghua has only been studying alchemy for a long time, so how can he compare to you? Moreover, the selection of the royal alchemist in the palace requires an alchemist or above.
Only teachers can participate?”
"What do you know? Even if she is a loser, but now that she has the support of the Queen Mother and Sha Fei, no one can tell what tricks she will use secretly," Li Sisi said bitterly, continuously plotting against herself and Fa Xiao.
How could it be so simple to wear Yue Jinghua twice?
"Have you got any clues about what I asked you to investigate?" Lie Sifa asked.
"The young lady asked me to send people to Jingxinyuan. Lierou has not done much. He has been chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha in the courtyard all day long. However, the mute young master of Jingxinyuan has been doing something wrong recently." Bizhi Jiang Hongling often goes in and out of the house.
In the small medicine shop, Yue Chen went in and out of the city suburbs throughout the day and explained in detail.
Li Sisi didn't intend to do anything with Lie Rou and Yue Jinghua, so she set her sights on everyone in the Jingxin Academy.
Hong Ling is just a maid and does not pose much of a threat to Lie Rou and Yue Jinghua, but the mute Yue Chen can be put to good use.
"According to what you said, that little mute leaves early and comes home late, taking care of the flowers, plants and trees in a small manor by himself?" Li Sisi felt something was wrong. She had also noticed earlier that Yue Chen was very busy cultivating flowers, plants and trees.
Some talents, Yue Jinghua didn’t have any special abilities at that time
Chang, she didn't pay much attention, "That boy deserves to be unlucky. He is Yue Jinghua's cheap brother. Find a few people and pretend to be robbers. Then give the news to Lie Rou and Yue Jinghua. I don't believe it."
, they can also participate in the final selection of the royal alchemist with peace of mind."
Lie Sisi smiled sadly, Bizhi responded and immediately started arranging the manpower.
Tonight, there is no moon and the wind is light. Outside the Lingmu Garden, several sneaky figures like gophers quickly passed over the low garden wall.
After receiving Li Sisi's order, Bizhi took several Lie Yi guards and went to Lingmu Garden together in disguise.
Bizhi's skills were acquired by Lie Changshun. She has been following Lie Sisi since she was a child. She has a very good talent. She has already achieved success in Yuxuan. Among all the slaves, she has always had a high self-esteem.
Before setting off, she privately thought that Yue Chen was just a mysterious person, so she ordered a few Lieyi guards who were in the stage of Yu Xuan's great success, divided them into two groups, guarded the outside, and approached the spirit tree without anyone noticing.
garden.
"You two, go into the house, search, and catch that kid out. I've sent people to pay attention, but the kid hasn't returned to Jingxinyuan tonight." Bi Zhi was surprised and looked around.
On weekdays, Hongling kept a close eye on Lingmu Garden. The people sent by Bizhi to keep an eye on the garden only dared to stay outside the garden. This was the first time that Bizhi saw the scene in the garden.
It is more appropriate to say it is a spiritual wood garden than a medium-sized farmhouse.
The courtyards in the suburbs outside Boluo City are mostly wastelands left behind by some farmers outside the city when they went out for work in the early years. This spiritual tree garden was only recently renovated, and a circle of people's height has been reinforced around the perimeter.
Low wall.
The soil in the garden has been carefully plowed and divided into medicine beds and flower fields. At this time, everything should be withering and winter is approaching. But in this garden, there is no atmosphere of late autumn and winter solstice at all.
In the flower field, the medicinal azaleas, which are still as bright as fire at night, are blooming. In the medicine garden, clusters of Polygonum multiflorum shine with an ink-like luster, and there are some herbs that even the green branches cannot name.
The medicinal herbs grown in the Lingmu Garden are actually of better quality than those collected by Yongchun Hall.
Bizhi was secretly frightened, thinking that when she went back tonight, she must persuade the young lady and the second master to be wary of the people in Jingxinyuan.
The two Lie Yi guards came out quickly after entering.
"There was no one inside, and no lights were left. Only a few lotus seeds were found in the house."
The two Lieyi guards had several lotus seeds in their hands. The yellow-green lotus seeds had not yet been peeled off, and they smelled of freshly picked moisture. The top of each lotus seed looked like it was dipped in cinnabar.
The talisman pen has been touched, leaving a little red.
"It's almost winter. Where are the new lotus seeds? Go to the other end of the garden and have a look." Bizhi led two Lie Yi guards to the other side of the Lingmu Garden.
At the other end of the garden, a guiding light was hung, and a newly dug lotus pond could be vaguely seen.
There was a pile of wet mud at the mouth of the lotus pond, and a row of small footprints were left by the lotus pond.
"Look in the water," Bizhi and the two Lieyi guards first searched around the pond, but saw no one. In the lotus pond, there were only dozens of well-grown lotus trees and a few bowl-sized lotus pods.
Holding it shaking its head in the wind.
The pond looks like a mirror, with ripples blowing out.
Liangmian Lieyiwei got off the pond and walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
"Tsk," Lie Yiwei, who was walking in front, stumbled without warning, tilted his body, and quickly fell into the pond from his shoulders down.
Unexpectedly, this humble pond would suddenly change from shallow to deep.
"Be careful," the Lie Yiwei behind him muttered. He suddenly remembered that his companion was watery, and hurriedly paddled his hands and feet to pull his companion out of the water.
In their rush, neither of them noticed that the lotus seeds in their hands fell quietly.
