Chapter 6: A murder caused by a handkerchief (3)
After walking for almost half an hour, Ah Jiu finally arrived at Moyou Palace and found that the place was indeed extremely deserted. There was only an old nanny named Lin guarding the palace gate. Seeing Ah Jiu coming, she was extremely happy.
In addition to thanking her, he also let her into the concierge and treated her to a cup of tea.
It was difficult to refuse the warm hospitality, so Ah Jiu had to sit there for a while, chatting with Aunt Lin along the way, and then said goodbye and left.
However, after she left, she did not go back, but went straight to the direction of Lingquan Palace. When she arrived at the entrance of Lingquan Palace, she asked Fuhui to sneak into the palace to search, while she herself went around to the jasmine bushes behind the palace.
According to what Suya said before, this wild jasmine bush is the only place in the palace with jasmine flowers, so this time she really acted like a little palace maid who took the opportunity to fish and enjoy the flowers.
She stayed under a strong peach tree next to the flower pond for a long time, looking at the large peach blossoms on the tree. She was secretly surprised that it was already early summer, and the jasmine flowers had already bloomed, but the peach blossoms on the tree were not yet blooming.
Thanks, if this continues, I don’t know how long it will take to eat fresh and delicious peaches.
In this way, she waited until Fuhui came back from Lingquan Palace.
Looking at what it had brought back, Ah Jiu finally felt relieved. It seemed that she had indeed left it here.
After finding the thing, Ah Jiu put it back into her sleeve and prepared to go back to the laundry department. It was almost evening. She calculated that if she walked faster, she should still be able to catch dinner.
However, just as she walked around from behind Lingquan Palace to the main road, she heard a shout from behind: "Stop. Who are you? From which palace? Why are you sneaking around here?"
Startled by the voice that came out of nowhere, Ah Jiu looked around and saw that a gorgeous palace sedan had stopped behind her at some point, and next to the palace sedan stood a man in a dress.
A palace maid in green clothes and several fierce nuns.
Looking at the straight road behind the sedan and the bushes next to it, Ah Jiu narrowed his eyes.
Speaking of being sneaky - obviously, they didn't come along this road, but had been hiding in the woods before.
While she was stunned, the palace maid in green had already walked up to her, and without any explanation, she raised her hand and slapped Ah Jiu on the face.
Ah Jiu subconsciously flashed, but a little slower, her fingertips still scratched her cheek, leaving a faint blood stain on her cheek.
The stinging pain on his face made Ah Jiu frown slightly, and a hint of coldness immediately flashed across the corners of his eyes.
"Sizzle!"
Fu Hui's angry voice also sounded at the same time, and he was about to rush out to give this palace maid a good look.
With a touch of her hand, the trouble coiled around her wrist immediately calmed down. Ah Jiu asked in a deep voice: "Sister, what are you doing?"
The palace maid in green didn't realize that she had just walked around the gate of hell. Instead, she was unwilling to accept Ah Jiu's dodge, and raised her hand high again: "I dare to hide, I really turned against you."
"Green Qiao, stop!"
At this moment, I heard a lazy voice coming from the sedan behind the palace maid. After hearing this, the palace maid glanced at Ah Jiu bitterly, then withdrew her hand, rushed to the sedan in a few steps, and said respectfully.
He lifted the sedan curtain and helped out a young woman wearing a purple peony dress.
