On the second day, Yingyue went outside as Lin Jiuqing instructed, and was stopped by Tuoba Xuan's men.

Yingyue didn't look happy: "What?"

The man lowered his posture very low, with a flattering smile on his face: "Don't be afraid, girl, I'm not a bad person, and I don't want to do anything bad, don't be so nervous."

"Stop talking about these useless things," Yingyue glanced at him, "I've seen you wandering around here for a long time, just tell me directly, what exactly do you want to do? If you can't give a convincing reason today, don't blame me for being rude."

Yingyue looked back at the gate of Lanyin Palace not far away and said slowly: "I think you know where this place is."

Lanyin Palace is the most heavily guarded place in the entire palace, even more so than Yinghua Palace where His Majesty is. This person is someone close to Tuoba Xuan, and has lived with Tuoba Xuan in the palace for quite a while, so he should understand this.

The man really understood and smiled: "Yes, I naturally know where this place is, so I will definitely not do anything rash."

"I have been wandering here recently, not with any ill intentions, but because I want to see your master but have no way, so I can only wait for an opportunity here," the man looked at Yingyue, pleading, "It is my honor to see you today. Could you please inform the Concubine Chen that my master wants to see you, and please give me a chance."

Yingyue looked at him unhappily: "Can anyone see my queen? Not to mention your master."

"Not long ago, Imperial Concubine Shun died because of your master. Could it be that he still wants to harm my queen?"

The smile on the man's face was a little stiff, and he explained with a stiff face: "There is a misunderstanding in this matter. This time my master wants to meet with the Empress Chen, and it is precisely because of this matter that he wants to explain it to your Empress in person."

"Excuse me, young lady, please give me some convenience."

As he spoke, he took out a handful of gold leaves from his sleeve and stuffed them into Yingyue's hand.

Yingyue raised her eyebrows and weighed the gold leaf in her hand. It was quite heavy.

Yingyue hesitated for a moment, then took the golden leaf with her backhand and said reluctantly, "Okay, since you are so sincere, I will help you inform them."

The man breathed a sigh of relief and thanked her profusely: "Thank you very much, young lady. Thank you very much, young lady. I will be waiting for your good news here."

Yingyue turned around and walked back: "Wait."

Yingyue trotted back and took out the gold leaves and placed them on the table in front of Lin Jiuqing: "My queen, that Tuoba Xuan is really generous, so many gold leaves."

Although the ladies in the palace often gave their servants some golden melon seeds as rewards, the amount was very small after all, and it was very rare to give so many at one time.

Lin Jiuqing glanced at the gold leaves and nodded: "It's a huge investment."

So much money was given just to let Yingyue, a palace maid, deliver a message, which shows how anxious the other party is.

"Then Tuoba Xuan wants to see you, Madam. He said that there is a hidden story behind the painting and he wants to explain it to you in person."

Yingyue looked at Lin Jiuqing: "Madam, are you going? That person is still waiting for my news outside."

Lin Jiuqing said calmly, "What could be the hidden secret? He and Zhou Ruo hit it off and each got what they wanted."

"If I go to see him now, I will cause trouble for His Majesty. His Majesty can only be at ease if I do nothing and stay in Lan Yin Palace peacefully."
