Chapter 142 Let Me Carry It!
"What the hell?"
Li Xuan looked at the poem on the silk cloth, but he didn't understand what it meant.
What was the purpose of Deng Weixian's godfather asking Deng Weixian to go through so much trouble to bring in such a piece of silk cloth with poems written on it, and then just throwing it on the ground?
"Is this a rebellious poem?"
Li Xuan's mind was suddenly opened, but he looked over and over again, but he couldn't see any rebellious intention.
"A poem with a hidden head? A poem with a hidden tail?"
"Read it vertically? Read it diagonally?"
"Read it forward? Read it backward?"
Li Xuan struggled for a long time, but couldn't see the mystery in it.
He first wrote down the poem word for word, and then looked around.
There was no shelter near the lawn, it was empty.
As long as someone passed by, they would probably see the conspicuous silk cloth on the ground immediately.
Li Xuan saw clearly before that Deng Weixian deliberately threw it in this direction.
In other words, from the beginning, the silk cloth was not intended to be hidden, but to be discovered by the people of Suliuyuan.
However, the location chosen by Deng Weixian was not very good.
Although this place is conspicuous enough and can be easily discovered, it is not difficult to find Deng Weixian with a little investigation.
Deng Weixian just threw it with all his strength to conceal his movements, but the distance was still not far enough.
As long as we check the outsiders who entered and left Suliuyuan today and identify the routes of each person, I am afraid that Deng Weixian will be the most suspicious.
Thinking of this, Li Xuan took the silk cloth on the ground and left the place before anyone noticed it.
He even kicked the stone on the lawn and threw it into the bushes.
Li Xuan sneaked around Suliuyuan, intending to help Deng Weixian find a better place.
"A place that is easy to be discovered, but will not suspect Deng Weixian..."
"Let me think about it."
Li Xuan carefully avoided people and tried to move along the courtyard wall and eaves.
He was not very familiar with this place, and he had to avoid being witnessed by others. For a while, he really couldn't find a suitable place.
But at this moment, Li Xuan suddenly thought of something.
"Hey, the room where Feng Zhaoyuan and Wang Suyue had a secret talk last time should be Feng Zhaoyuan's boudoir, right?"
Li Xuan hurried to confirm and found that the main door and windows here were closed and silent.
"Yes, Feng Zhaoyuan is eating with Wang Suyue in the yard, so there is no need for anyone to serve here."
For safety reasons, Li Xuan slipped to the corner of the wall and listened to the movement inside. After finding that there was really no one, he couldn't wait to climb through the window.
After entering, he found that Feng Zhaoyuan's boudoir was really not small. The last time she met Wang Suyue was only the outermost room, and there were several smaller rooms inside.
Li Xuan walked around and found the only place with a bed, which looked most like Feng Zhaoyuan's bedroom.
He jumped onto the bed and stuffed the silk cloth in his mouth under the pillow. He was afraid that Feng Zhaoyuan would not see it, so he deliberately exposed a corner.
"There should be no problem now, right?"
"Deng Weixian has never been close to this place, and he has always been in the sight of others except when he was dealing with a stomachache."
"In this case, he can never be suspected."
Li Xuan was really worried about Deng Weixian.
Maybe it's because he loves his wife?
He didn't want to see Yu'er's brother get into trouble.
It would be hard for Li Xuan to accept if any of the siblings got into trouble.
At this time, there was a noise outside the door, and it seemed that several palace maids were walking here.
Li Xuan didn't dare to delay. After covering up the traces of his intrusion, he directly climbed through the window and left.
After several palace maids entered Feng Zhaoyuan's room, they began to clean up.
Li Xuan left quietly and returned to the courtyard, looking at Deng Weixian standing beside him.
Compared to before, he was still nervous, but relatively relaxed.
The matter had been done, and the result could only be left to fate.
Although Li Xuan still didn't know what the poem on the silk cloth meant.
But judging from Deng Weixian's reaction, it was probably a big deal.
And Deng Weixian's godfather said very clearly last night that if the matter was exposed, even he couldn't protect Deng Weixian.
Then, Li Xuan also accompanied Deng Weixian in secret for a whole day with a nervous mood.
After Wang Suyue had lunch and rested for a while, she said goodbye to Feng Zhaoyuan and began to visit the ladies in Caiyun Palace.
When Wang Suyue visited, she prepared exquisite small gifts for each lady, and judging from the friendly attitude of those ladies, many of them seemed to be old acquaintances of Wang Suyue.
It seems that these concubines are most likely from the noble side, or people who are on good terms with the noble side.
"So you are here to pay respect to your own wharf today."
Li Xuan finally understood why Wang Suyue had gone to such great lengths today.
I'm afraid that her promotion to a concubine soon was not just a rumor, but a done deal.
Wang Suyue was really amazing to be able to move from Yanqu Palace to Caiyun Palace so quickly.
As time went by, Li Xuan could clearly see that Deng Weixian was gradually relaxing.
He probably understood at this time that since the matter had been done, no matter how nervous he was, he could not change the outcome.
Instead of continuing to torture himself like this, it would be better to relax a little.
Wang Suyue's visit today ended smoothly, and she followed the sun to punch in and go home.
After walking this afternoon, Wang Suyue was exhausted.
As soon as she came back, she shouted tired, took off her restraints, and planned to take a good hot bath.
Deng Weixian had nothing to do with this kind of work.
Naturally, the other palace maids were responsible.
Wang Suyue waved her hand and asked Deng Weixian and Liang Chuchu, who had accompanied her for a day, to go back and rest first.
Deng Weixian returned to his own courtyard and went straight into the room without even having time to eat dinner.
Li Xuan saw Fatty Orange here, so he gave it the task of keeping an eye on Deng Weixian, and then he returned to Feng Zhaoyuan's Suliu Garden.
He wanted to see with his own eyes what Feng Zhaoyuan's reaction would be when she saw the silk cloth.
What secrets did the poem on the silk cloth have that made Deng Weixian's godfather insist on sending it to Feng Zhaoyuan.
Facts have proved that the nobles in the palace have the habit of taking a hot bath before going to bed.
When Li Xuan came, the timing was just right.
Seeing the steam rising inside, the window was lowered by those nosy palace maids again.
Li Xuan hurriedly climbed to the window and looked inside.
"What if Feng Zhaoyuan finds the silk cloth when the window is closed?"
"The overall situation is more important, so I can only be lenient."
Li Xuan stood by the window like a little man, looking through the gap, looking so intently, afraid of missing something important.
As for the irrelevant details of Feng Zhaoyuan's bath, I won't go into details here.
Everyone is a loyal and honest gentleman, and I guess they have no interest in such boring things.
Let the little cat bear such boring things alone!
"Ah!?"
"You are worthy of being Wang Suyue's cousin."
"This is too..."
Li Xuan couldn't help but marvel at it, and soon forgot the purpose of his coming here.
After a long time, the window was opened again.
Li Xuan returned to the wall with an unsatisfied mind.
Through the window, Feng Zhaoyuan was so beautiful against the background of water vapor.
There were still some wet black hair, and occasionally a strand of it stuck to her jade skin, reflecting the frost and snow.
Black is blacker, white is whiter.
They complement each other, like yin and yang.
The beauty of opposition and harmony is set off on Feng Zhaoyuan.
This harem is really full of the beauty of the world.
Feng Zhaoyuan put on a brand new inner garment at this time and prepared to lie down to rest.
But as soon as she opened the quilt, her face changed.
Feng Zhaoyuan pulled out a corner of the silk cloth under the pillow without hesitation, and her face sank.
She was sure that this was not her thing.
And before last night, she was also sure that there had never been such a piece of silk cloth on her bed.
In an instant, Feng Zhaoyuan lost all sleepiness, took the silk cloth in her hand and sat down by the table and chair, and read it by candlelight.
Li Xuan, who was secretly peeking, also perked up, wanting to see how Feng Zhaoyuan would react to this poem.
Feng Zhaoyuan quickly finished reading the poem, but her next reaction was a bit ambiguous.
She looked doubtful and paced back and forth in the room, as if thinking about something.
"Could it be that she couldn't understand it either?"
Li Xuan used the heart of a poor student to judge Feng Zhaoyuan's mind.
After Feng Zhaoyuan hesitated for a moment, she immediately called someone, put on her clothes and hurriedly left Suliuyuan.
There is a curfew in the palace. After the hour of Xu, you are not allowed to walk around at will, otherwise you will be severely punished without a reasonable reason after being discovered by the imperial guards.
But Caiyun Palace is a little different.
All the favored concubines live here.
Therefore, it is not the imperial guards who patrol here, but the flower-clothed eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are responsible for guarding.
At night, you can also walk around a bit, as long as you don't go too far, the flower-clothed eunuchs will not interfere.
Because not only Emperor Yongyuan occasionally comes to Caiyun Palace to favor his concubines.
Those concubines who were summoned to Ganlu Palace will also come back late at night.
Therefore, the flower-clothed eunuchs can't always ask about every one of them.
Besides, these ladies are not the same as eunuchs and palace maids, so who dares to ask nonsense?
Unless they encounter special dangers such as assassins, the work of these eunuchs in flowery clothes is to pretend to be stupid and act as their own stakes.
Feng Zhaoyuan only brought a palace maid with her, dressed simply, and came to a gorgeous palace in Caiyun Palace.
Compared with her Suliu Garden, this place is a level higher at first glance.
Li Xuan followed Feng Zhaoyuan and saw the plaque of this place.
[Tingyun Palace]
Feng Zhaoyuan sent someone to pass the message and hurried in.
Li Xuan also remembered this place.
During the day, the first place Wang Suyue visited was this place.
"I remember it seems to be where Concubine Zhao Shu lives."
Earlier, when Li Xuan followed Deng Weixian, he had seen this Concubine Zhao Shu.
It seems that this Concubine Zhao Shu is likely to be the "big sister" of the nobles in the harem.
Feng Zhaoyuan came to discuss with her as soon as she found the silk cloth, which shows her status.
"Let me take a closer look at what's going on."
Li Xuan was about to continue to explore inside, but suddenly saw a lot of black-clothed eunuchs coming out of Tingyun Palace, guarding every entrance, and the roof and walls were full of people. The strict guards were comparable to the flower-clothed eunuchs around Zhao Feng.
"Where did you learn this bad habit!"
Li Xuan was so angry when he saw this scene.
But at this time, a eunuch in black clothes suddenly turned his cold eyes to him.
Li Xuan's hair stood on end, and he felt the real killing intent. He didn't care about being cute to confuse the other party, and turned around and jumped off the wall.
After the line of sight was cut off, the killing intent gradually disappeared.
Li Xuan fled from this place with lingering fear, and couldn't help cursing in his heart:
"I knew there was a pervert here, and he didn't even let the cute kitten go!"
