Allure Ugly Concubine

Chapter 14 Chu Yin
In the early morning, the Yue Palace began to get busy. Groups of red and green figures shuttled between the various courtyards of the palace, preparing for the various tasks of the day.A sneaky pink figure followed quietly behind the crowd, sneaking into the crowd.It's just that the veil on her face is still a bit conspicuous, so she lowered her head as much as possible.

From time to time, a team of guards in silver guard uniforms passed by, and she had to lower her head.

Lin Zijiang bowed his head and walked quickly while paying attention to the surrounding situation.She thought to herself that since she was wearing a smiley dress, no one should be suspicious for the time being.So she secretly took out the map hidden in her sleeve and looked at it, which was drawn based on the topography of the palace drawn from Hanxiao's mouth.The Yue Wang Mansion has extremely strict guards, and a group of patrolling guards pass by every once in a while. I'm afraid they will be caught before they can escape.

However, there is one place that is not patrolled by guards, Nanlin Garden in the southeast corner, where Chu Yue's study is located.Normally, servants are not allowed to come in and out, but now that Chu Yue is not here, there should be no one there.As long as you follow the map to get there, you can find a way to leave.

Finally sneaked into Nanlin Garden, seeing the scene in front of her, Lin Zijiang suddenly wondered if she had gone wrong, why is this place even more desolate than Wutong Garden where she lives.There is only such a lonely house in the whole yard, and there is nothing around it except a few lifeless crooked trees.Didn't the girl with a smile say that this is the king's favorite place to stay? His taste is really strange.

Forget it, don't think so much, let's find a way to leave first.Looking around, Lin Zijiang fixed his eyes on the four-meter-high red wall in front of him.

"It would be great if this wall happens to be connected to the outside world... Anyway, let's climb up to see it first." Thinking of this, Lin Zijiang lifted his skirt and climbed up a tree by the wall.The previous wound was a little painful from being pulled, and he hadn't eaten yesterday, so Lin Zijiang was a little struggling to climb halfway.But she still gritted her teeth and went up, but she didn't notice that a pair of interested eyes kept looking at her.

After finally climbing up, Lin Zijiang couldn't help being surprised when he looked outside the wall.Outside the wall is a path with some weeds, and not far away are some residential houses. From here, you can also see the bustling streets and shops of all sizes in the capital.Great, as long as I can get out from here, I'm free.It’s just that this wall is too high, if you jump down like this, you will be disabled if you don’t die, your face is already like this, if you are not flexible in your hands and feet, you will not be able to live even if you go out.

Thinking of this Lin Zijiang was a little discouraged, it seemed that there was no way to get out directly by climbing the wall, so he sat down against the trunk of the tree and thought about whether there was another way.

Just as he was at a loss, he suddenly saw a group of ants crawling out of a hole in the tree trunk, and Lin Zijiang had an idea.You can't walk from above, so what about below?Although the outer wall of this palace is a bit thick, it is more than enough to dig through it in one day...

Thinking that he would be going out soon, Lin Zijiang smiled knowingly.

"I don't know what is so attractive outside this wall that the girl put down her reserve and climbed up the tree to spy?" A man's voice came.

Lin Zijiang was rejoicing about the freedom he was about to gain, but was startled when he heard this voice.Looking down in the direction of the voice, I saw a man in white clothes standing under the branch where I was sitting. I couldn't help being surprised. When did he stand here? I didn't notice it at all, so I asked : "When were you here?"

"I've been here all the time, but the girl was too focused on things outside the wall, and didn't notice the next one." The man replied with a hint of amused voice.Then he tapped the folding fan in his hand and looked up at Lin Zijiang.

Seeing the man's face, Lin Zijiang couldn't help but his heart trembled.Is she dreaming?This is obviously the face that has appeared in her dreams countless times.

"Master?" Lin Zijiang's voice trembled, but her whole body was trembling.I thought that after I died once, I would gradually forget the past, but now I saw his face again, all kinds of past life still flashed in my mind.Lin Zijiang lost his mind for a moment, let go of the hand holding the tree trunk, lost his balance and fell down.

Chu Yin saw that she looked at him with complicated emotions, which was a little strange.Unexpectedly, Lin Zijiang fell from the tree in the next second, and quickly reached out to catch her.

Lin Zijiang thought that she would fall hard to the ground, but she didn't expect that person to catch her.not him.If the master saw her fall, he would definitely let her fall to the ground and punish her severely, because he would not allow his subordinates to make such low-level mistakes.But this person in front of him has such a warm embrace and such a gentle look in his eyes, this is something that Master will never have.Thinking of this Lin Zijiang came back to his senses, he quickly pulled out from Chu Yin's arms, took two steps back, and looked at him vigilantly: "Who are you?"

Seeing her such a strange behavior, Chu Yin couldn't help being amused, and said: "I didn't ask who you are, I saved you twice, but you didn't say a word of thanks, just asked me who I am, isn't it too distant?"

"Twice?" Lin Zijiang was puzzled.Didn't he catch her just now?Where is there another time?
"Don't you know that no one can enter this courtyard without King Yue's permission? If your prince knows what happened to you today, you will not be able to leave this courtyard alive."

Lin Zijiang didn't expect that there were so many taboos in this palace. Fortunately, Chu Yue was not around, otherwise she would be even more suspicious.But who is this person in front of me? Why did he help me?
"I just came to the palace, so I really don't know, but thank you very much." Lin Zijiang said, "But if this is the case, why can you come in."

"Hehe." Chu Yin said with a smile: "I'm not from your palace, so naturally I'm not within the jurisdiction of your palace. Besides, I'm a guest invited by your prince himself, so he can't blame me."

"Guest?" Lin Zijiang noticed that although he was wearing plain white clothes, the material looked very expensive, and he was wearing a unicorn jade pendant made of suet jade. Lin Zijiang remembered that he was in Chuyue on the night of getting married. I have seen it on my body, so I guessed: "You are the prince?"

Chu Yin smiled acquiescingly, and then said: "I am Chu Yin."

"Now it's my turn to ask you." Chu Yin continued, "Why did you look so strange when you saw me just now?"

"Because you look a lot like someone I know." Lin Zijiang said truthfully.

"Surely this person must be very important to the girl?"

"It used to be." Lin Zijiang replied.Speaking of this, Lin Zijiang's eyes were clouded again.

"Are you the maidservant of the palace? Why are you wearing a veil?" Seeing the change in Lin Zijiang's eyes, Chu Yin changed the subject.

"I'm ugly, I'm afraid of scaring others." Lin Zijiang came back to his senses.

"Really?" Chu Yin seemed to answer casually, but his right hand stretched out to Lin Zijiang's veil.

Lin Zijiang didn't expect him to do this, and before he could reach out to stop him, the veil had already been taken off by him.Originally, she didn't care about appearance, but facing this person in front of her, even if she only looked like her master, she was still afraid of his disappointed expression when she saw her face.

But when Chu Yin saw her face, he didn't show any disappointment, even his eyes didn't flicker, and he was always gentle: "I think it's okay."

Although he knew that his words were comforting, Lin Zijiang couldn't help feeling a little joy in his heart: "Thank you."

But the joy was quickly replaced by a panic, wait, she seems to have forgotten something important.Since the person in front of him was invited by Chu Yue as a guest, doesn't that mean that Chu Yue is back?Thinking of this, Lin Zijiang quickly confirmed to Chu Yin: "Has King Yue returned?"

"That's right, he's dealing with some things in the main hall right now, girl, let's get out of here as soon as possible," Chu Yin advised.

This was like a bolt from the blue to Lin Zijiang. Chu Yue came back, so wouldn't her escape plan be shelved?Forget it, let's get out of here and think of a way.Thinking of this, Lin Zijiang ran out in a hurry, but after running a few steps, she stopped, turned around and saw Chu Yin was looking at her with a smile on her face, paused, and asked: "That... ...will I still see you?"

She knew this was nonsense, not to mention that he was a prince, and she also planned to leave this place herself.But she really wanted to see this man again, even though she clearly knew that he had nothing to do with Master.

"Of course." Chu Yin smiled and nodded at Lin Zijiang.

Looking at Chu Yin's smiling face in the sun, Lin Zijiang couldn't help but lose his mind.It turns out that Master's face can be so pretty when he smiles, but it's a pity that she never made him smile...
