Chapter 43 Meeting old friends
Zhu Hao knew that it was not easy to completely gain Lu Song's trust.

Right now, the two are on the same boat. Lu Song was dragged onto the boat by Lin Baihu. He was entrusted with a mission by his family. Neither of them wanted to work for the imperial court—specifically, for the royal family.

"Lu Dianzhan, please be sure to inform your son when you go back, and tell the prince and princess that I am here." Zhu Hao raised the request again.

Lu Song had doubts on his face: "If you let me bring the words, they will come...?"

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "I originally entered the palace as a companion for them. As a good friend, they know that I will turn a blind eye when I am here? In addition, I need to freely enter and leave the Xingwang Palace. I hope Lu Dianzhan can help me with this."

Lu Song nodded after thinking for a while.

Dongkua Courtyard does not belong to the inner house of the Wangfu, so the care is looser. He only needs to say hello, but Lu Song will never let Zhu Hao enter the inner house of the Wangfu easily.

"Okay, Lu Dianzhan, although we all want to get rid of Jin Yiwei's control, we must try our best to protect ourselves. We can't let others know about our relationship with each other. We need a secret contact method... so, if there is anything urgent, Then draw a cross with charcoal on the wall under the lantern at the entrance of the alley... What do you think?"

Zhu Hao had an idea long ago. He wanted to cooperate with Lu Song, but he couldn't see each other often, so he could only agree on an emergency contact method in advance.

Lu Song was even more puzzled.

How could Zhu Hao have so many thoughts at such a young age?Can you even think of such a weird contact method?

This can only show that Zhu Hao is indeed guided by an expert. If this is the case... then it will be completely impossible to silence Zhu Hao, because there are still people who know his identity, and it is easier to reveal his whereabouts if he reacts excessively.

……

……

After the two had a secret conversation late at night, Lu Song quietly left.

Whether Lu Song will bring the words to Zhu San and Zhu Si through Lu Bing, Zhu Hao is not sure yet, but this is already the best way he can think of.

The next two days.

With the help of Lu Song, Zhu Hao was finally able to enter and leave Prince Xing's Mansion, but at noon, he had to enter and exit through a small door reserved for cooks in the east courtyard of King Xing's Mansion.

There were guards guarding here all the time, but they turned a blind eye to Zhu Hao when Lu Song greeted him in advance.

At the same time, Zhu Hao noticed that there was a dog hole in the corner on one side, and children could easily climb in and out if they were not afraid of losing face.

Perhaps this is the "secret passage" for Zhu San and Zhu Si to leave the palace.

Although the people in the palace were deeply wary of Zhu Hao, after getting along with each other continuously, the people in the East Cross Court would treat him as if they hadn't seen him after a long time. It would be fine to eat or go out of the palace, but as long as he moved a little inside Walking in the direction of the courtyard, someone will immediately block the way and drive them away quickly.

Finally, at noon on the third day after Zhu Hao met Lu Song, when he stopped chopping firewood in the yard and was about to go out of the palace to buy some small things and come back, Zhu San brought Lu Bing and appeared at the door of the warehouse.

"Hey, you're really here."

Seeing that the door was open, Zhu San looked inside and saw Zhu Hao standing beside a pile of firewood wiping his sweat, he couldn't help grinning.

This is the first time the two have seen each other in ten days since they parted in Flower and Bird City.

Zhu San is still as casual as ever.

She pretended to be her younger brother, and the management of her in the palace was relatively loose, so she could bring Lu Bing to visit at noon.

Zhu Hao called people into the courtyard.

Zhu San and Lu Bing looked around, and Lu Bing asked stupidly, "What is this place?"

Zhu Hao said: "It's a warehouse... I've lived here since I entered the palace. I usually chop firewood when I have nothing to do, and it's just like exercising."

Zhu San curled his lips and said: "This is not the palace? At best, it is the firewood room of the palace... Isn't your goal to study in the palace? Why are you willing to be a firewood servant here? You are very ambitious!"

As soon as he heard it, he knew that the man in front of him was a sharp-tongued master who liked to be sarcastic. Maybe it was because he had been blackmailed by Zhu Hao before, and he wanted to get back the scene when he met.

Zhu Hao looked satisfied, shook his head and said: "Actually, it is better to work here than to be taken back to be an apprentice by the family... Besides, didn't I enter the palace as a companion for you? Maybe after I live for a while, the National People's Congress here Show kindness and allow me to study?"

Originally, Zhu San wanted to continue teasing Zhu Hao, but when he heard these words, he showed a bit of shame on his face.

Just like asking Lu Bing to give a message to the rabbit seller before, she knew well that Zhu Hao was not welcome in the palace, and tried to issue an early warning.

But now that Zhu Hao has entered the palace, everything needs to be re-planned.

"Why didn't you see your brother?" Zhu Hao asked.

"He, he had a serious illness before, but now he is in better health, and he is not allowed to come out and walk around at will at home. I originally wanted to take him here for a stroll... Oh, by the way, what fun do you have here? Are there any rabbits?"

Zhu San is just the age when she is innocent and playful, and she regards Zhu Hao as a playmate she can make friends with, so she is a little outspoken.

Zhu Hao said: "No one told me that you are coming, otherwise I can make preparations in advance... The weather is very hot recently, and I usually try to get some ice to make iced sour plum soup when I am outside. You can try it if you have a chance, but Not today."

Zhu San smiled heartily and said, "Zhu Hao, why do you like to brag so much? You are the only one who can get ice? There is an ice cellar in the palace, which stores the ice bricks specially transported from the north in the previous winter. Start to put ice, and it will be almost exhausted before the beginning of autumn... If midsummer is already over, and the stock is not much, it will take several days to put a piece of ice... Where do you think you can get ice?"

Zhu Hao spread his hands and said, "It's fine if you don't believe me, why don't you come back tomorrow and I'll give you iced sour plum soup?"

Meeting Zhu San again is not the purpose, the most important thing is to attract his attention, Zhu Hao has to show off all the delicious and fun things one by one, so that she and her brother will always take care of him.

Otherwise, the siblings come here once in a while, and the people in the palace cannot know about it. How can they help him get into the palace as a companion?
"Okay, if you want to brag, I won't stop you."

Zhu San didn't take it seriously, looked at Zhu Hao with bright eyes, and said, "Actually, I came here to tell you that even if you enter the palace, it is unlikely that you will become my little brother's companion, let alone study. Well, stay here... Maybe you can only chop wood for the rest of your life."

Children are ignorant, this is very offensive, but it is definitely the truth.

Just like Lu Song's advice to Zhu Hao.

The palace is on guard against you, and it doesn't make any sense for you to stay here with a faceless face.

"I have a revolving lantern here, do you want to see it?" Zhu Hao asked.

"What is a revolving lantern?"

Not only Zhu San was interested, but even Lu Bing was also very interested.

Zhu Hao said: "I can see that there is nothing interesting in your palace, not even the carousel. There are many people playing outside, but my carousel is more interesting than theirs. Let's go in and have a look together."

……

……

inside the room.

Zhu Hao took out the gadgets he had prepared.

Good things can't be taken all at once, they need to be released gradually like offering treasures.

This time he only took out a revolving lantern, which is a small lantern, first lit the candle inside, and then rotated the outer shell of the lantern, just like a shadow puppet show. Looking at the flowers on a horse and horse, it is very agile.

It immediately attracted the attention of Zhu San and Lu Bing.

"It's daytime now, even if you close the door, it's still not very dazzling. If you come at night, you can see it better." Zhu Hao said while showing.

Zhu San saw that he was the kind who was usually bored and had nothing to do, and asked with a smile: "Then can you give me this revolving lantern? I helped you enter the palace, so it's not too much for you to give me a lantern to thank me?"

Zhu Haodao: "You said just now that when I entered the palace, I would spend my whole life chopping firewood. Now why do you say that this is your credit and you want me to repay it?"

"Hey, cheapskate, I knew you wouldn't give it." Zhu San pouted.

Maybe because she is familiar with Zhu Hao, she even showed her true nature.

Zhu Hao sighed and said: "It's not that I'm stingy, it's really because I can't reunite with my family after I came here, and it's very boring at night. If I don't rely on this thing to pass the time, how can I spend the long night? When I look back, I will let my mother Make a few more, and you can take them back.”

Zhu San smiled openly: "If you have a conscience, that's fine, then I'll come back and get it."

Zhu Hao said, "Why are you here today?"

Zhu San replied casually: "A Bing told me that you are here... Hey, A Bing, where did you get the news?"

A Bing...

Zhu Hao felt awkward for a while.

Lu Bing looked aggrieved and said, "I heard what my father said."

Zhu San said "Oh", "I originally wanted to come yesterday, but it is not easy to go out of the inner mansion. I finally seized the opportunity today... You have several ways to go out of the palace. If you want to go back, I have a way to fulfill your wish."

Or how to say that children can be desperate for fun?

Zhu Hao sighed secretly.

Born and raised in Si, Zhu San is very familiar with the environment of the palace, sneaking out of the palace is as easy as eating and drinking.

But after hearing Zhu San's several ways to get out of the gate, Zhu Hao couldn't laugh or cry.

"You don't mean to say that every time you followed someone and sneaked out through the gate, did you?" After hearing this, Zhu Hao felt that there was no skill at all in this sneaking method.

"Cut, otherwise? The gate of the palace is always open, so is it difficult to sneak out?" Zhu San felt that Zhu Hao was making a fuss.

Zhu Hao was speechless for a while.

But think about it.

Zhu San was found sneaking out of the palace, at most he would be brought back, and before when Zhu Hao was found without Lu Song's help, he would be kicked out...

The intensity of punishment is different, and the methods used are naturally different.

Zhu Hao asked: "Then how do I enter the inner courtyard of the palace?"

Zhu Sandao: "It's impossible for me to tell you. What if you sneak into the inner house to watch the maid take a bath? The inner courtyard of the palace is strictly controlled. I'm doing this for your own good. If someone finds out, I'll break your leg." It's light."

Just now, he was still a scheming child, but when he turned his face, he put on the airs of the princess.

"Zhu San...is this your name? I want to raise some rabbits here...Unfortunately, the rabbits in my house are dead because no one is taking care of them. Why don't you give me two of the ones I sold to you earlier, What do you think?" Zhu Hao said.

Zhu San glared at Zhu Hao, "You still said that you can raise...you are dead, how can I support you?"

Zhu Hao said: "Oh, I understand, you didn't come to see me to reminisce about the old days with me... You can't think about it, let's go catch a nest of rabbits and come back together?"

Zhu San squinted his eyes with a smile, his two eyelashes grew like two crescent moons, and he opened his mouth to reveal a mouthful of white teeth: "Why are you so smart? But I can't go out to catch rabbits now, how about this? If you catch the rabbit, I'll come and get it, and I won't use you in vain, I'll give you money...three pennies a piece, what do you think?"
