Chapter 245 What do you smell like?
Worker Ma Dekuai worked the night shift in the stable next to Chunfeng Tower.
As He Yunxiao's personal groom, he had figured out He Yunxiao's schedule after spending these days together.
The places his son often went to included: the palace, Lujiao Academy, Chunfeng Tower, and the small courtyard by the stream. Without exception, all of them were places with beautiful girls.
Among them, going to the palace was a daily reservation.
Every night, he had to go, every day.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ma Dekuai estimated that the young master should go to the palace. If he didn't go now, it would be tomorrow, so he didn't have to go.
Ma Dekuai stared at the door of the stable intently, and at the same time counted down five numbers in his mind, five, four, three, two, one!
Unfortunately, the young master didn't show up.
"Hello? What are you looking at?"
The young master's voice suddenly sounded on his right, and Ma Dekuai looked back, but saw a "stranger".
After a closer look, he found that the man was indeed the young master, but...
"Young master, why did you change your clothes?"
He Yunxiao touched his nose awkwardly, "Stop talking nonsense and go to the palace."
The wheels were flying, and Ma Dekuai was waving his whip happily.
He Yunxiao originally planned to redeem Sister Jiang at Chunfeng Tower and leave, but he accidentally indulged in Sister Jiang's huge beauty and grace, and indulged for a little too long.
The current situation is very embarrassing.
Going to the palace is a must, but it's too late, and you have to climb over the wall again.
However, the only thing to be thankful for is that with the experience of the last time, He Yunxiao and Ma Dekuai are already familiar with the business of climbing over the wall - they have suffered losses in the cornfield - they are familiar with it.
He Yunxiao stood on the roof of a tall building near the wall, and then waited for a team of patrolling officers and soldiers to come over, and then waved to Ma Dekuai who was in the distance.
Ma Dekuai got the signal, shouted loudly, and whipped the two horses' buttocks evenly. In an instant, the neighing of the horses resounded through the night sky on the outer wall of the palace.
The patrolling officers and soldiers looked back and saw a familiar carriage that had come yesterday and came again today, rushing towards them again.
Everyone greeted Ma Dekuai's eighteen generations of ancestors.
Ma Dekuai heard the insults and became more excited.
The carriage driving the Marquis's Mansion rolled up dust and made a huge noise as it rumbled past the officers and soldiers.
He Yunxiao seized the opportunity, took the opportunity to walk up the palace wall, and then landed steadily inside the palace. He Yunxiao, who was about to run straight to the harem, ran two steps, turned back, and pushed aside the branches and leaves of a bush.
"Good fellow, brother, you are still here tonight!"
The man in black rolled his eyes at He Yunxiao and complained, "I shouldn't have told you where to take orders. Now my unit price has been cut, and I only have 40 taels left for one order."
"Forty taels is not bad."
"Indeed."
"I'm going to the harem."
"Hey, hey, take me with you."
He Yunxiao took a step back and shouted, "Catch the assassin!!!"
The man in black also shouted, "Fuck! Are you still a human being?"
He Yunxiao said shamelessly, "How can I let you go to my harem?"
Not the emperor's harem?
The man in black had a lot of complaints but nowhere to vent, because a large number of officers and soldiers heard the noise and rushed over directly.
He Yunxiao took two steps back, leaving a large stage to the officers and soldiers present and the "protagonist" man in black.
Unexpectedly, although this man in black looked like a coward and earned 50 taels of silver every day, he was actually really good at fighting. Without being able to see his strength, he simply knocked down a group of soldiers with three punches and two kicks, and then used his excellent Qinggong to flee without hesitation.
…
It was around eleven o'clock in the evening, the end of the Hai hour and the beginning of the Zi hour.
He Yunxiao stood awkwardly at the gate of Linxuan Palace, because the lights in Linxuan Palace were turned off.
At least from He Yunxiao's perspective, it was pitch black, without a single light.
To be honest, even in the early morning, a palace as big as Linxuan Palace would not turn off all the lights. There would still be a few lights left.
This time, the lights were completely turned off, and it was obvious that Nanzhu's wife turned them off for her to see.
I came late last night, and I could say that I was busy all over. Today, He Yunxiao was embarrassed to explain.
"Nanzhu? Are you asleep?"
He Yunxiao called softly, not daring to speak loudly.
From the gate of Linxuan Palace to Nanzhu's bedroom, there are at least dozens of meters, and with the layers of barriers of the building, this little sound is of no use at all.
In fact, He Yunxiao didn't expect Nanzhu's wife to hear it.
Based on He Yunxiao's understanding of Nanzhu, even if she heard it, she would hesitate and hesitate, and would not dare to come out for fear of the princess's arrogance and face.
He Yunxiao actually shouted to Xing'er.
Sure enough, before he shouted a second time, Xing'er came out to open the door for him.
This time, even Xing'er complained about He Yunxiao.
"Mr. He, His Highness went to bed very late yesterday, and he couldn't get up this morning because the sun was shining on his butt."
He Yunxiao naturally knew the implication of Xing'er's words, that she was disgusted with him for coming late.
"She doesn't have to go to school, why don't you let her sleep a little longer? Why are you calling her to get up?"
Xing'er said: "Your Highness is a daughter of gold and a role model for the people. How can you stay in bed?"
"The little girl is still growing..."
"You can go to bed and get up early if you want to grow up, but it's a pity that our Highness has no one to love her since she was a child, and no one will care about these things."
He Yunxiao's scalp numbed after being scolded by Xing'er, but he didn't have the qualifications to say a word back.
"Good Xing'er, believe me, I will never come so late again."
Even though Xing'er had helped He Yunxiao and cheated her own prince, she always stood on Nanzhu's side and did things that were good for Nanzhu.
Xing'er bowed to He Yunxiao and said, "Young Master, please follow Xing'er."
He Yunxiao followed Xing'er and didn't dare to make a sound.
Walking past the front hall of Linxuan Palace and going further inside, the candlelight lit up again.
He Yunxiao's eyes were bright. He guessed correctly that the lights in front of Linxuan Palace were turned off mainly for him to see. Whether it was Nanzhu or Xing'er, they didn't dare to turn off the lights. It would be wrong to turn off the lights and lead him in.
When they came to the door of Nanzhu's wife's bedroom, Xing'er left. He Yunxiao looked around and saw no one around, so he knocked on the door and called out, "Rou'er?"
"Rou'er?"
"If sister Rou'er doesn't open the door, I'm going to shout and let everyone in Linxuan Palace hear it."
A burst of hurried footsteps sounded in the house.
After a breath, Meng Qingrou appeared at the door in neat clothes, not looking like she was going to sleep.
She didn't say anything, so He Yunxiao said, "Rou'er, I'm late."
Meng Qingrou looked at He Yunxiao with hatred, but she couldn't do anything to him. It was almost the next day, and he had to take the medicine. After a stalemate, Meng Qingrou opened the door for He Yunxiao reluctantly, then stepped aside and said, "Come in first."
He Yunxiao walked into the room skillfully.
"Drink the medicine." Meng Qingrou said.
He Yunxiao said "Okay", then took the antidote warmed on the stove and drank it in one gulp.
Meng Qingrou closed the door casually and sat to watch He Yunxiao drink the medicine. Then she frowned because she smelled a strange smell.
It seemed like incense used by women.
"He Yunxiao, what's the smell on you?"
He Yunxiao was stunned on the spot. Smell? Could it be that there was a fragrance on the clothes that Sister Jiang gave me?
Damn!
It's over.
