Secret Agent: The Devil's Favorite Wife

Chapter 40 Finding Someone
"Que Ruoyu, where are you going?" Cui Zhu came back today after receiving some charcoal from Chang Lu's hand.At this moment, I happened to see Que Ruoyu at the gate of the palace.

"Go for a walk," she said.

Hearing this, Cuizhu hurriedly pulled her into a small corner. "Ruoyu, this is not what we should say as slaves. You should say, where the empress told the slaves to get things, or that Chang Lu asked you to go to the imperial dining room to get some food. Although these things are not your turn Let's do it for our lower court ladies, but there are so many people in the palace, who would care about us?"
Que Ruoyu was taken aback.

"Ruoyu, what you just said just now is easy to cause trouble. If someone wants to wrong you, pointing out that you wandered around without receiving orders, they can kill you." Cuizhu said exaggeratedly, childish Worry was written all over his face.

However, she didn't notice these details.Hearing what Cuizhu said today, I kept an extra eye in my heart.

"Okay, Cui Zhu thank you." She smiled softly at her, and rushed out after speaking.

Now, the imperial robe has been in her hands for two days.And she didn't move at all.Now, she urgently needs to find the upper thread.

She didn't know where the palace of King Quan Langyuan of Quan Chu was.Therefore, I can only choose to search for the huge palace.She hoped she had better luck this time around.

The plum blossoms in the palace are in full bloom, and the pure white color adorns the whole winter.

She reached out to catch a petal, and gently sniffed its fragrance with the tip of her nose.

Here, two first-class maids came over.She lowered her head to make way for them.

"Are you holding King Quan Chu's clothes?" One court lady said to another court lady, with a hint of envy in her tone.

"Sister Lan, you really have a good eye. You go to deliver clothes to King Quan Chu every day. King Quan Chu is the most beautiful man in my court. Although I am the same as you, it is very difficult to see him. Now , the empress assigned me to take care of the fourth prince Quan Heji's daily necessities." Speaking of this, she sighed slightly.

When Que Ruoyu heard them talking about Quan Langyuan just now, he followed them.However, her footsteps were extremely light, and no one noticed her.

The court lady serving Quan Langyuan smiled triumphantly, "At that time, His Royal Highness King Quan Chu was really gentle and refined. His every move was so pleasing to the eye."
"You are really lucky to serve His Highness with such a good temper. As long as the leg hurts for the one I serve, we will suffer. Moreover, the worst thing is that we cannot offend Eunuch Cui in his palace. If we offend that Old man, if he sues us in front of the fourth prince, we'll have a complete game." Another court lady said with a bit of misery.

After a while, they parted at the fork in the road.

Que Ruoyu looked at a palace not far away.From the looks of it, it should be the bedroom of the First Prince Quan Langyuan.She stepped forward quickly, her movements were numb, and she knocked out the woman with one palm.Then, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, he dragged her into the grass beside her.After doing all this, she put Quan Langyuan's clothes scattered on the ground back on the square plate.While doing all this, she scrutinized the silk thread used in his clothing.

Sure enough, it was the finest silk thread.

She lowered her head and quickly walked towards Quan Langyuan's bedroom.

"Wait a minute, are you a woman from that palace? Why haven't I seen you here?" The eunuch outside stopped Que Ruoyu, questioning her in a high-pitched voice.

"Report to Eunuch, the palace maid is in poor health. The Empress sent her servant to bring it here." She replied respectfully, keeping her head down.She can't let other people see her face clearly at the moment, if the maid just woke up, she would tell the queen.Her charge of stealing from the prince was confirmed.Moreover, she is her unilateral thief.

If the empress knew about this matter, thinking of the unclear relationship between her and Quan Xiaoli, she must be removed.

The father-in-law just looked at Quan Langyuan's clothes in Que Ruoyu's hand, nodded, and let her in.As for this kind of little maid, they generally look down on them.

The layout of the palace is similar, and the bedrooms of the masters are all in the largest and most spacious room.Following this line of thought, she pushed the door to the main hall.

Quan Langyuan was reading a book at this moment, and was a little annoyed when he heard someone disturbing him.

"Your Highness, the clothes are here." She presented the robes.

"You slave, why are you getting more and more unruly, you just need to put these things in my bedroom." His voice was mellow and elegant.However, because of being disturbed for no reason, he was a little sullen.

"Okay, step back first." Quan Langyuan said impatiently.

When he was studying, he hated being disturbed by others the most.For a long time, the person blocking his light has not left.He couldn't help but look up.

Some people smiled and looked forward to it.

"His Royal Highness is reading the Book of Songs?" She glanced at it, although it was in some difficult and difficult traditional Chinese characters.However, after all, many characters are somewhat similar to modern simple characters.She recognized the word Jian Jia just now.

Then there is a large line of verse.She looked at it, and it should be Jian Jia's text.

"The reeds are green, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Yiren are on the side of the water," she read out.

Quan Langyuan smiled softly, "You can actually read? But, at the New Year's Eve banquet last time, you actually said that you couldn't read."
"The situation was special that time. Besides, the servant was really illiterate at the time. After these days of long-term study, he could recognize a few words. Your Majesty, what a coincidence, the characters that the servant can know are all the words in this book ."
Quan Langyuan knew that she said this on purpose, seeing her eloquent appearance, he was filled with joy.

"Why did you come to this palace today? But what's the matter?" Through the previous acquaintances, he thought that the woman in front of him was smart, capable, and cunning.She can do small things by herself.She came here specially to look for him in his palace this time, she must have encountered some difficult things.

Que Ruoyu didn't show off, he directly told her about her difficulties.

"Silk thread? You came here only for silk thread?" Quan Langyuan looked at Que Ruoyu in surprise.He also thought that something important had happened to her.It turned out that it was just the silk thread that was missing.

He smiled slightly, "I still have a lot of silk threads in my palace, I will give you as much as you want."
Que Ruoyu thanked you.

With silk thread, the next thing is easy to handle.

The tall and slender father-in-law just walked in and brought in the silk thread that Que Ruoyu needed.Seeing that the First Prince was so respectful to her, he wanted to know what she looked like.

Que Ruoyu lowered his head and tried his best to avoid it.

"Ahem... After putting the silk thread away, go down." Quan Langyuan ordered lightly.The eunuch was still a bit unwilling, seeing what the eldest prince said, he had no choice but to leave angrily.Before he left, he still couldn't help but glanced in Que Ruoyu's direction.

"Que Ruoyu, why are you hiding it? Don't you believe the people in this palace?" He looked at her suspiciously, always feeling that things were not as simple as he imagined. "Tell me honestly, what the hell are you doing with these silk threads?"
"Reporting to His Royal Highness, this is a servant's business, you don't need to ask too much."
"If you tell Bengong, I won't let you take out these threads. What will you do?" He asked tentatively, just wanting to know what Que Ruoyu was busy with now. Does it matter.

"Your Royal Highness, you will know what is going on in a few days. What I can tell His Royal Highness now is that this matter is related to the life of my servant. If there are no these silk threads, my servant may be buried in loess after tomorrow It's gone." She said seriously.

He looked into her eyes, very clear.No sign of lying.

"If this is the case, I don't know if His Royal Highness the First Prince is willing to save the life of this servant and give these silk threads to this servant?" She said calmly, her eyes were filled with calmness.

If this sentence came from someone else, he would not believe it.Because no one can keep calm in the face of life and death.

However, the person in front of him was Que Ruoyu.

He looked at her, "Since this is the case, these things have such a great effect on you, then I will give you these things. However, I still want to know what kind of difficulties you are facing? If you can, Ben Gong will definitely help you." He said calmly, this was the first time he gave such a big benefit to a woman.

Que Ruoyu said, "The kindness of His Royal Highness, but the slaves don't need it." If there is no such thing at all, how will she survive in this wolf-like palace in the future?

"Really not?" He was surprised.She should know that she, Quan Langyuan, is not a person who helps others casually.For her sake, he deliberately made an exception.However, this proud and self-reliant woman only replied to him, "No."
On the way back, she walked quickly.

The girl was no longer in the bushes when she knocked her unconscious just now, and she probably left.

As soon as she stepped into the door, Cuizhu rushed to greet her.

"Que Ruoyu, you are finally back. Director Chang Lu came here just now and asked you about repairing the imperial robe. I told her that you have gone out and you will be back later." She said anxiously.

"Que Ruoyu, I see that the imperial robe in your hand hasn't moved at all. I wonder if you came in a hurry?" Thinking that tomorrow is the time to hand in the task, she frowned.She was really worried about her, afraid that Que Ruoyu would be hurt.

Que Ruoyu smiled, "Cui Zhu, don't panic, it's fine. Look..." Then, she put the silk thread from Quan Langyuan in front of Cui Zhu's eyes.

"These? Where did they come from? Why are they the same as sister Yulu's?" Cuizhu asked curiously.

"No, this one is quite different from that one." She said, and she took out the previous silk threads.

Cuizhu was a little puzzled, after comparison, she finally knew where the problem was.

"Que Ruoyu, sister Yulu is so hard to use this method to harm you?" She opened her mouth wide.
