Chapter 5 Returning to the Zhao Mansion

1000 taels, eh.

Zhao Yuan must accept it.

After the emperor left, Zhao Yuan quickly ordered the maids to go in and help her wash up. After eating, she left the palace without stopping.

"Your Majesty, the princess just left the palace."

As soon as she left the palace gate, someone immediately told the emperor the news.

The emperor dropped the memorial and said, "Set up more secret guards outside the Zhao Mansion to watch. Anyone who approaches the Zhao Mansion must watch carefully. Do you understand?"

"My subordinate understands."

The emperor waved his hand and let the servants go out. After a while, the emperor's personal eunuch, Eunuch Zhou, walked in.

After Eunuch Zhou saluted, he immediately reported Xiao Yu's condition to the emperor: "Mr. Hu said that the fifth prince's lungs have been injured by the cold this time, and he must nurse himself back to health for several months, otherwise the root of the disease will be left."

The emperor stopped writing and said, "I have some supplements in my warehouse. You can stew some and secretly send them over."

"What happened to the palace maid?" he asked.

"My slave sent her to the Clothing Bureau, and arranged for a more clever person to serve her in the cold palace."

The emperor can still rest assured when Eunuch Zhou is doing his job.

"Tell him to stay in the cold palace these days and stop thinking about anything else."

When your position becomes stable in the future, what kind of woman will you not be able to find?
……

After Zhao Yuan left the palace, he went directly to Zhao Mansion.

Although the Zhao Mansion is now in decline, it has always remained the same. When my mother was seriously ill, she entrusted everything in the Zhao Mansion to Uncle An, the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion.

Uncle An is an old man who is used to being in the family. His family has been with the Zhao family since their ancestors and he is very loyal to the Zhao family. All the shops of the Zhao family are in his hands and they can make a lot of money every day.

Such a large Zhao Mansion, under his careful management, has maintained its original appearance for decades.

It's a pity that things have changed and people have changed.

Before her mother passed away, she told her that Uncle An was someone she could trust. If she encountered difficulties and couldn't solve them by herself, she could go to him.

He will do his best to help her.

In his previous life, Xiao Yu would become the prince so smoothly, and Uncle An's contribution cannot be ignored.

So after returning to the house, Zhao Yuan immediately asked: "Where are Uncle An and the others?"

"Uncle An has gone to the village in the countryside. Is this my servant going to send someone to call Uncle An back?"

"No, it's nothing important. Go and talk to the people at home. I will stay here for a while. By the way, is Ling'er here? I haven't slept well recently. I asked her to help me adjust my sleep. fragrant."

Ling'er's father is Uncle An. She makes very good incense, and the spice shop in Zhao Mansion is now managed by her.

Zhao Yuan went directly to the yard where she lived.

In order to deceive the Dog Emperor these days, she really didn't sleep well and cried. She was already tired and sleepy.

She still had something for Ling'er to do, and she would not let herself fall asleep no matter how sleepy she was.

Fortunately, Ling'er came back soon.

"We don't need anyone to serve us here. You can go out first."

"Obey, princess."

The four maids bowed and then withdrew.

Ling'er quickly asked: "How long has this situation lasted for Miss? Is it difficult to fall asleep, or is she insomnia and dreamy? Or does she wake up three or five times after falling asleep?"

Fragrance is also a kind of ability, and spices must be specially prepared according to each person's situation.

Zhao Yuan made a gesture of silence, and then gestured to Ling'er, asking her to come over.

Ling'er understood the meaning and stepped forward, bringing her ear closer.

Zhao Yuan whispered a few words.

"Ling'er, the only person I can trust now is you. Don't let anyone know about this, especially those in the palace, you know?" Ling'er didn't ask anything. The young lady must have her own reasons for doing this. .

She nodded solemnly, "Miss, don't worry, I understand."

When she was a child, her father told her that the people in the palace were not good people and that the young lady had a very hard life there. What they could do to help her was to protect the Zhao family for her.

Ling'er felt a little distressed for Zhao Yuan, who had a dark blue under his eyelids.

Miss, it's really not easy for her.

Under the evaporation of the incense prepared by Ling'er, Zhao Yuan slept very soundly. When he woke up, the room was dark.

Zhao Yuan called the maid to come into the house to wait on her.

"What time is it now?"

Mo Qin said: "It's already Haishi when I return to the princess."

She actually slept for such a long time. Ling'er's ability to mix fragrance is really amazing.

"Princess, do you want to have a meal?"

Zhao Yuan stretched and said sleepily: "Yes, okay."

After eating, Zhao Yuan yawned and went back to sleep again.

Until late at night, the person who was supposed to be sleeping soundly on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.

Zhao Yuan touched under a pillow, and Ling'er had already put a set of night clothes under it as she said.

She quickly changed her clothes, opened the window, and climbed out quietly.

There was darkness along the way, which made it easier to hide, and she arrived at Dongyuan.

The Dog Emperor didn't trust her at all. She didn't need to guess that there must be a lot of informants outside the Zhao Mansion.

If she leaves the Zhao Mansion, she will definitely be targeted.

And this dog hole can lead to the yard of the nearby mansion. She accidentally discovered it when she was playing hide and seek with her brothers and sisters when she was a child. Dongyuan has been abandoned for a long time, and the weeds are several feet high. Of course, the dog hole next to the wall is No one will find out.

At that time, no one lived across the street. Whenever my brother and the others got into trouble and were grounded by their father, they would go out through the dog hole here to play.

But two years ago, the mansion next door suddenly became occupied.

Zhao Yuan dug around in the grass a few times and soon found another set of clothes that Ling'er had prepared for her.

Those were the clothes worn by the servants in the mansion next door.

She planned to disguise herself as a servant, get in among them, and take the opportunity to leave.

Zhao Yuan checked the entrance of the cave and found that the opposite side was blocked by stones. Fortunately, it was only made of some small rocks and could be pushed with a little force.

When she was sure she could get through, she took off her night clothes, put on her servant's clothes, then bent down and climbed in.

The mansion next door.

In the study, two men sat opposite each other. Between them, a chessboard was placed. The white stones and black stones on the chessboard were evenly matched.

After a fight, it looked like the winner was about to be decided.

The man in white heard a rustling sound coming from outside the window, and the hand holding the chess piece suddenly paused, "It seems that you have a guest. I am afraid that today's chess game will have to be rescheduled, so I will take my leave."

The man in black clothes opposite glanced at the chessboard.

He has a great chance of winning this game of chess.

He was very unhappy when he was suddenly interrupted in his joy.

He wanted to see which little thief was so ignorant that he stole it from him.

Zhao Yuan didn't realize that she had alerted the owner of the mansion. It took a lot of effort for her to push away the stones blocking the hole and crawl over smoothly.

There was light coming from the front room. Fortunately, there were a lot of bamboos planted here, which blocked this side.

Cheng Xuan was in the dark. He was completely hidden in the darkness because he was wearing Xuan Yi. He looked at the small figure but did not show up in a hurry. He wanted to see what the little thief wanted. do what.
