The emperor's last words suddenly echoed in Shangguan Li's mind.

"What kind of answer will you give me this time?"

Her hand holding the pen stopped.

If the emperor was determined to target Xuanyuan Ye, then things that passed by his hands would not be able to leave the palace. Not to mention reaching Xuanyuan Ye’s hands safely.

Usually, I feel that his subordinates seem to be wandering around, but I can't see any of them at this time.

The ink dots slowly dripped on the rice paper, making a ball of irregular traces faint.

Suddenly, there was movement outside the door.

Shangguan Li didn't move his hand for a long time and applied a few strokes on the paper, then walked out of the room, and Eunuch Gao stood at the gate of the yard.

As soon as I saw her, I immediately had a smile on my face.

"Princess, pack up quickly. Your Majesty is waiting for you in the Moon Water Pavilion."

Shangguan Li glanced at the sky, it was already evening.

"Now?"

“It’s now.”

Eunuch Gao nodded.

"I understand, let me change my clothes first..."

"Oh no need."

Eunuch Gao waved the whisk in his hand with a smile that could arouse people's closeness.

"Your Majesty said he just wanted to have dinner with the princess, so there was no need to be so polite. If you went too late, it would be bad."

"Oh, so let's go."

Gao said this, and Shangguan Li no longer had the same position to refuse.

She followed Gao You and walked through the silent Changfeng Road. As soon as she went out, the surroundings suddenly became lively. It was almost night, and there was still a slight noise in the palace.

Before Shangguan Li could ask, Eunuch Gao explained.

"This is preparing for the princess' birthday banquet. Your Majesty gave him a close command and was very concerned about the princess' affairs. Naturally, the people below dare not neglect."

Shangguan Li replied symbolically.

"It's Your Majesty who loves you."

After a pause, she asked casually.

"Who did Your Majesty spread the word besides me?"

Eunuch Gao is righteous.

"Where are there anyone else? Your Majesty usually doesn't attend dinner with others. Since the past...well, cough."

He got stuck in half of his words. Shangguan Li asked afterwards, asking with a smile.

"Is there any story here?"

Eunuch Gao waved his hand quickly.

"Oh, this matter is your Majesty's reverse scale, so you can't mention it. Please don't mention it to Your Majesty, either. I'm grateful to you."

As he said that, he actually bowed to Shangguan Li.

The panic on his face is by no means fake.

Looking at his expression, Shangguan Li even suspected that if there were too many palace maids and guards passing by here, he would have been able to kneel down to himself directly in order to avoid attracting attention.

Shangguan Li quickly helped Gao up again.

"What is Eunuch Gao saying? The secret in the palace, Shaoyang certainly knows that it is dangerous, especially some things that have been buried in the shadow for a long time, so ordinary people will naturally not be able to touch it."

She stared at Eunuch Gao's face, not missing the unnatural moment on his face.

"Thank you, Princess, let's go quickly. The emperor should be anxious."

Gao said again, turning his back to lead the way.

Shangguan Li said nothing, but followed him step by step.

But my heart was a little bit different from Xuanyuan Ye’s incident, thinking very strangely.

It seems that the emperor has many secrets. She just mentioned "things that have been over time", but Gao did not refute it. It should be an old story related to the Linyue Water Pavilion.

It may not be an ordinary thing to make Gao Aidu so lose his composure.

Shangguan Li covered her hands behind her and followed her without any rushing steps.

She looked up and saw that several lights had already been raised in the palace wall. The lights from all directions pulled the shadows into strange shapes, like a pool of water lying on the ground.

After staring at those shadows for a long time, something that really lies in it that has been hidden for years and is so unspeakable that it makes people feel cold.

Shangguan Li stepped on the shadow that the old eunuch pulled behind him, and suddenly a layer of anger wrapped in indifferent layers of indifferent rose in his heart.

Just as she left Youju Hall, the palace that had been covered with dust for several years once again welcomed uninvited guests.

The person who came in did not walk through the door, but jumped directly from the roof.

Under the extremely light and thin moonlight, the unsheathed knife on the person's waist was engraved with an elegant and mysterious arizona.

He stood on the roof for a while, and after confirming that there were no traps nearby, he slipped down from the eaves, and a beautiful "Autumn Wind" crawled in through the half-open window.

When he entered the room, he polished the fire note, and the sudden light of fire dispelled the darkness.

It also illuminated his cuffs with flying fish embroidered dark patterns.

Feiqing!

He searched quickly in the room, and finally his eyes fell on the half-displayed rice paper on the table.

The man from Feiqing looked closer and saw that there was only one thing on the flawless rice paper. It was a plum blossom drawn from a ball of faint ink.

Only half of a branch was drawn, and it must have been called away halfway through.

The visitor pressed the hand on the paper, and even picked it up and carefully distinguished it under the candlelight for a long time before putting down the rice paper as if he had finally given up.

After restoring all the things he had moved, the man returned along the same path and soon left Youju Hall.

At this moment, Shangguan Li had already arrived at Linyue Water Pavilion under the leadership of Eunuch Gao.

After arriving, Shangguan Li realized that the word "Linyue" was not just a talk. It was a building like a tower. It was visually 20 meters high and had to climb stairs for more than ten rounds.

In the entire capital, Zhaixing Pavilion is probably higher than here.

But she saw the word "Linyue" and didn't see "Shuixie" at all.

The tower is surrounded by cold stone slabs, and there are not even a few flowers and plants. If there were no Grandpa Gao beside Shangguan Li, the first time she saw this place, she would probably think that it was something like the Treasure Pavilion.

Gao took her in. According to Shangguan Li's vision, there were nine layers here. As soon as he entered, there was a strong fragrance of flowers, but there was no flower to see.

After searching for a while, Shangguan Li found that the fragrance of flowers should have come from the wall. The wall was not smooth and traceless, and something seemed to be drawn on it, but rows of imperial guards blocked her view.

"What's the matter here?"

Shangguan Li followed Gao You easily, stepping up the steps step by step. When he was on the fourth floor, he finally couldn't help asking curiously.

"Linyue Water Pavilion is a place where His Majesty often comes when he is free."

Eunuch Gao's aura was a little unstable. He immediately felt a little overwhelmed by someone like him who didn't need to do physical work at all.

I don’t know if he is too tired or if there is any hidden truth, Eunuch Gao only said such an ambiguous sentence.
