Chapter 281
Ye Xinyi frowned and thought for a moment, then got up too.

"Madam?" Liu Lu was in a hurry, especially when she saw Ye Xinyi taking a step forward, she was startled and hurriedly followed.She doesn't believe in everything she can think of, the wife didn't think of it, but why does the wife still go when she knows it's wrong?

Although Ye Xinyi didn't know why Feng Yunyi wanted to tell her, maybe the real layout was not aimed at Zhaoning, but at her, maybe it had some other deep meaning, maybe... But even if she knew it, she couldn't just sit idly by .What if it was true, did she know it, but just stood by?In Zhaoning, the filthy and gloomy palace city, there is only a clear stream of existence, that Zhaoning who is straightforward and simple, with clear love and hatred, that Zhaoning who makes her still have a trace of unspeakable guilt.
Seeing that Zhaoning's master and servant had left the palace banquet after the maid in the green skirt, Ye Xinyi followed without hesitation.

Liu Lu knew that she couldn't stop her wife anymore, so she simply stopped, gritted her teeth, and followed in silence.

However, when they turned around to the direction where Zhaoning left just now, they chased along the small path among the flowers and shadows for a while, and then came to a fork in the road, but Zhaoning and the others had long since disappeared.

Ye Xinyi stopped, frowned and looked at the roads leading to two different directions, "Where are they going?"

Liu Lu's skills are not small, when she was about to enter the palace, Shen Yue used some method to make her memorize the location and roads in the palace city by heart, and afterward, the master and servant lived in the palace for a period of time , Presumably Liu Lu has already figured out all the roads in the palace.

Sure enough, Liu Lu wandered around for a while, determined the direction, pointed to a road on the right, "This is going back to the inner palace." Then pointed to the left, "That's going to the Imperial Pond."

There is an imperial pool in the imperial garden, and today the banquet hall where Emperor Qianhe entertained his courtiers is also on the edge of the imperial pool.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for Princess Zhaoning to go there, but it is more likely to return to the inner palace.

But that's logical, if someone really set up a trick to harm her tonight
Ye Xinyi hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked towards the flower path on the left.Liu Lu didn't say anything, just kept silent and couldn't follow.

After walking for a while, I saw the curtain.

Because men and women had separate seats, curtains were drawn in the middle to separate them.

Ye Xinyi stopped, turned around and looked around, "Is there any place nearby where people can meet privately at night?"

Liu Lu suppressed the surprise in her heart, thought for a while, then lowered her head and replied in a deep voice, "There is a water pavilion next to the stream on the left."

Without hesitation, Ye Xinyi walked to the left.

Because there is a banquet ahead, the sound of silk and bamboo is far away, as if separated by a veil of fog, faintly visible.But the stream that draws water from the imperial pond to create a landscape is so quiet that no one hears it.Along the way, I didn't meet anyone.

After walking for less than a stick of incense, Ye Xinyi saw the waterside pavilion near the stream that Liu Lukou had just mentioned.

This season, it is normal for the doors and windows of the water pavilion to be closed.There is also a faint light in the water pavilion, which is not surprising.Today, there is a banquet in the palace, and it is not too far from the two banquet venues. In case someone comes to take a break, there will naturally be lights, candles, refreshments and other objects, and there should be someone to wait on them.

Although Ye Xinyi came here, he was not a fool and would not act rashly.

She made a gesture of silence with Liu Lu, and the master and servant walked over slowly with light steps.Before they really approached, they vaguely heard a sound inside the water pavilion. Immediately afterwards, the door was shaken vigorously. On the door, a figure was cast against the candlelight, and a slender figure could be vaguely seen. It was a woman. Judging from the image of her bun, she is an unmarried girl.

Ye Xinyi had good eyesight, and when he took a closer look, he realized that the door of the water pavilion had been locked from the outside.

At this time, the person in the water pavilion uttered a slightly raised cry, but just as it reached the mouth, she swallowed it again.

It wasn't really loud, but because they were close and the place was very quiet, both Ye Xinyi and Liu Lu could hear them clearly.

Liu Lu's calm expression changed slightly, "It's Princess Zhaoning."

Ye Xinyi frowned and thought for a moment, turned his head and looked around, made a decisive decision, and walked over to the curved stone bridge, the only road leading to the water pavilion, and told Liu Lu to "watch", and then quickly Step over.

When she got to the door, she called softly, "Zhaoning." Then, through the window screen, she had vaguely seen the situation inside the water pavilion, and then heard Zhaoning shouting "Help me", her expression froze immediately, and she no longer After thinking too much, he pulled out the Hidden Sword that never left his body, and split the lock on the door at once, and when he entered the door to see the situation, he frowned.

Naturally, Zhaoning is not the only one in the waterside pavilion, there is also a man who is also an acquaintance.The person Ye Xinyi never thought of, Xie Ming.

Moreover, whether it is Zhaoning or Xie Ming, something is wrong.

The faces of the two were flushed, and their eyes were blurred. Zhaoning still had a sliver of clarity and shrank by the door, while Xie Ming had already flung himself at Zhaoning's feet. It seemed that he stretched out a hand, as if he was going to lift Zhaoning's skirt , but there was still a sliver of reason in the other hand, and it was clutching tightly on the back of the protruding hand. Due to the force, it was already bloody and his handsome face was distorted in pain.

At the same time, smelling a strange fragrance at the end of his nose, Ye Xinyi raised his hand and covered his nose with his sleeve, his eyes darted around the waterside pavilion, and soon saw the blue and white sea water gossip pattern that was billowing white smoke by the window The porcelain stove just picked up the teapot on the table of the Eight Immortals and strode over, uncovered the stove cover, then tilted the teapot, the tea gushed out and poured into the stove, the aroma sizzled twice, and finally is gone.

On the high table at the other end, there is a pink flower goblet with a bunch of gardenias inserted in the goblet.

She walked over quickly, took out the gardenia, threw it away, picked up the flower goblet, and when she arrived in front of Xie Ming, she mercilessly poured all the water in the flower goblet on his face.
Xie Ming trembled, as if he had woken up, but he saw a pair of apricot eyes that were burning faintly, staring at him, and asked coldly, "Are you awake? When you are awake, just listen to me."

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, as well as faint human voices and laughter, they approached here.At this time, it is normal for someone to leave the table and walk with them.

"Look! There's a water pavilion over there. After walking for a while, I'm a little tired. Why don't you go and have a rest." A group of women, well-dressed and shadowy, Ye Xinyi looked over through the window screen. She didn't recognize this voice. I don't know who it came from.

However, her suggestion was obviously answered, and the sound of footsteps came along the curved stone bridge.

The door was ajar and was pushed open.

Ye Xinyi didn't seem to have expected so many people to come suddenly. After being startled, he stood up, bowed his knees and gave a blessing, his expression a little embarrassed.

And the group of women obviously didn't expect that there were already people in the water pavilion, and they were all stunned. After a while, someone asked, "Are you Mrs. Shen?"

Ye Xinyi raised his eyes and glanced lightly, but there was no familiar face, so he could only say awkwardly, "It's Mrs. Shen Ye."
