Chapter 243
With red walls and high tiles, in the deep palace, even in the middle of the night, there are still imperial guards patrolling everywhere in the palace, but Meiyuan is extremely quiet, as if there is no ghost to be found.

In such a secluded place, there should be no one there at the moment, but in the plum garden, there are two furtive figures, digging something on the ground.

As soon as the two dug out the things, they heard a slightly anxious magnetic male voice from outside: "Quick, search carefully, and make sure to find the bracelet that the princess left here, fast!"

The people in the plum garden are none other than Concubine Lu and her maid Zhu Er.

Hearing the sound, Zhu'er panicked nervously, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is outside, what should we do now?"

"Before they come in, hide first." When the plum garden was first built, the emperor worried that Concubine Mei Guifei would be cold after enjoying the plum blossoms for a long time, so he built a small wooden house in the plum garden, so no one would go there and hide. It's the best there.

Concubine Lu had a good idea, but Yan Beiqin never gave her this chance. The two of them were discovered by his people before they could hide.

"Who! Stop!"

"Let's go." Hearing that someone from behind had spotted them, Concubine Lu stuffed the things in her bosom into Zhu'er's bosom and told her to go first.

Pearl knew that if people saw this thing, it would be a bad thing, so she didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately ran away with the thing.

Yan Beiqin's people surrounded him and stopped Lu Concubine. Yan Beiqin also walked over. At this time, Lu Concubine had already taken off her mask and stood there calmly, with an aboveboard attitude.

Yan Beiqin frowned: "Miss Lu Concubine? It's so late, why is Lu Concubine in Meiyuan? Still dressed like this?"

"I came here to practice martial arts, so naturally I have to wear light clothes. The prince may not know that before entering the palace, I was also a general. I know martial arts, and I will come out to practice for a while from time to time. However, due to my status, I always wear clothes Come out late at night when you can't sleep, and you don't want to cause trouble if you dress like this." She looked at Yan Beiqin and said, "It's His Royal Highness, who is more dewy, why did you come to the plum garden? Many people came here, this plum garden was planted by the emperor for Concubine Mei, what if the fairy spirit of Concubine Mei was shocked?"

"Concubine Lu is worrying too much. The people brought by the prince are all unarmed, so how could they disturb the spirit of Concubine Mei Gui?"

"Then why did His Royal Highness come here in person?"

"Today, after having dinner with the Crown Princess, I came to the Plum Garden to enjoy the plum blossoms. Unexpectedly, the Crown Princess lost a bracelet given by the queen mother on the day of her wedding. She only found out about it before going to bed. When I came to the Plum Garden to look for the bracelet, I never expected to meet Concubine Lu here."

"Since it's all a misunderstanding, His Royal Highness will continue to look for the bracelet. I have almost practiced in this palace, so it's time to go back." Concubine Lu raised her foot and wanted to leave.

Yan Beiqin raised his eyebrows and winked at the people beside him, his people understood and stopped Concubine Lu immediately.

Lu Concubine turned her head to look at Yan Beiqin: "Your Highness, what does this mean?"

"Whether Concubine Lu is practicing martial arts or not, this has nothing to do with the prince, but the prince suddenly thought, Concubine Lu is still in the grounds, right?"

Concubine Lu was startled, and she gritted her teeth tightly: "His Royal Highness is going to investigate to the end?"

"What is Concubine Lu talking about? The prince never cares about the affairs of the harem, but because of his mother's face, naturally he can't turn a blind eye to it. Since Concubine Lu is under confinement, she should not be able to leave Qingning Palace Half a step, but why did you come to Meiyuan in the middle of the night, please ask Concubine Lu to explain this matter to her father, queen and mother in person."

"His Royal Highness!" Lu Bin's voice grew louder, and she shouted, "Are you really planning to add insult to injury?"

"Damn it? Why did Madam Lu Concubine start talking about it? Why is the prince doing business, and it has become a nuisance?" He said to one of the guards: "What are you still doing here? Why don't you report to the emperor? Queen?"

"Subordinates take orders."

"Miss Lu, please."

Concubine Lu wished she could bite her silver teeth, but at this time, she had no other choice but to let Yan Beiqin's people lead her out of the plum garden. Yan Beiqin took out the bracelet from his sleeve pocket and put it on the ground. After deliberately staining with a little dirt, he put the bracelet back into the sleeve pocket.

"His Royal Highness, please also ask for instructions."

"How many figures did you see before?"

"The light is too dim, I can't see how many are there, so I can't be sure."

He raised his eyes and glanced at the guard in front of him: "Later, if someone asks the same question, just say it's two."

"My subordinate understands."

Yan Beiqin raised his eyebrows: "Since you understand, why are you still standing here?"

"what?"

"Didn't you see two figures just now? Since only one was found now, the other one must be hidden. There is only one exit from this plum garden, so that person must still be in the plum garden. Isn't that exactly what you should do now if someone finds it out?"

The guard had an epiphany, nodded quickly and said, "I'll look for you when I'm humble."

Yan Beiqin hummed, turned and walked out.

The emperor stayed at Juanmeiren's place tonight, and was woken up in the middle of the night, so he naturally had no good temper, so he put on a coat and sat up from the bed: "It's still in the middle of the night, what's the matter!"

Eunuch De bowed and said: "Back to the emperor, it was the guards of the Eastern Palace who reported that they found Concubine Lu in the Plum Garden. She was wearing night clothes and said she was practicing martial arts. His Royal Highness thought that Concubine Lu was still in confinement. I'm here to look for the emperor, after all, His Royal Highness is not easy to deal with the matter of the harem."

"Concubine Lu!" The emperor was even more angry: "It's her again! Wearing night clothes to practice martial arts in the plum garden in the middle of the night? There is clearly a ghost!" Saying this, the emperor got up and wanted to leave.

Juanmei hurriedly got up and said, "The emperor is waiting for the concubine, and the concubine should go with me."

The emperor turned to look at Juanmei's delicate face, and said in a gentle voice, "The dew is heavy late at night, and the beauty is still resting in the palace. You don't have to run around with me. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back tonight."

Juanmei got up and went to the bed: "It doesn't matter if the emperor comes back or not. The important thing is that the emperor left the concubine's dormitory angrily. How can the concubine be relieved? Go with the emperor. Although there is nothing you can do, it is always the same." Be by the emperor's side, the emperor, and this concubine wants to be with you."

The emperor's heart softened, and he nodded in a deep voice: "In that case, I will wait for you outside, so you should hurry up."

"No." Juan Meiren replied, hurriedly went to dress up, and then walked towards the outer hall.

The emperor said at the autumn hunting ground that he will pick a day to promote her when he returns to the palace, but too many things have happened in the palace recently, and the emperor has no intention of coming, so she can only take the initiative and spend more time in front of the emperor. Shake it around so he can remember it.
