Rebirth: The paranoid war king was controlled by the crazy female protagonist
Chapter 69 The Strange Man Who Gave Her Cake
According to Xiao Yanqing, the ministers would definitely ask the maids to find ways to sneak into the harem.
Since it is a festival, the supervision of the harem should be relaxed. Apart from the patrolling guards, there are only slaves who prepare dishes, and it is easier for them to avoid supervision.
She followed the maid closely along the way. It seemed that the maid was familiar with the route and could easily find where she wanted to go in such a complicated terrain.
She had memorized the route for a long time yesterday, but she couldn't tell which direction it led to at first glance.
Suddenly, the maid stopped somewhere in the dark. She looked around nervously, as if she was waiting for someone.
Until a eunuch approached quietly. The two men looked around cautiously and did not communicate at all, but just passed something in each other's hands.
After the handover, she saw the maid walking back, so she quickly bent down and paid attention to the direction the eunuch left.
After the maid left, she followed the eunuch again until they walked towards a bedroom. The magnificence was obvious from the outside to the inside.
The building is surrounded by seasonal flower beds and a pond. She can smell the fragrance of flowers wafting from inside whenever she passes by.
However, her intuition told her that this palace concealed a depressing atmosphere. The seemingly deserted courtyard was actually fraught with danger. This feeling was very strange.
After a slight hesitation, she stood up and left. Her sixth sense told her that it would be dangerous to stay any longer. After all, she was in the palace, a huge shackle with no way to retreat.
As agreed, she came to the deserted garden. It was said that there were no mandatory rules for relationships here and anyone could come. There were only a few lights on and no one noticed this place.
She sat leisurely in the courtyard, pondering.
Is this mission accomplished? Even if the palace is identified, there is no way to be sure that the concubine in the palace is the relevant person.
The darkness has filled the entire sky, and the full moon is hanging in the center without anyone noticing.
She looked up, admiring the rare beauty. The moonlight seemed to be pouring down from the darkness, making people intoxicated and fascinated.
……
At this time, a eunuch was constantly urging a man of noble status nearby to pass by.
But the man didn't care at all and took his time.
"Don't worry, the time has not come yet." The man joked with the eunuch beside him.
"How can I not be anxious..." The eunuch could only urge him anxiously.
Suddenly, the man's attention was attracted by a scene not far away.
He immediately raised his hand to signal, and the eunuch quickly shut up.
I saw a woman in the courtyard looking up at the sky. The moonlight seemed to illuminate her beautiful face. Her delicate features had a unique charm, and the hair accessories shining in the light added a hazy beauty.
He unconsciously moved closer to her. Just one glance was enough to attract him, but the shining beauty seemed particularly redundant at this moment.
He wanted to see clearly who this beautiful woman under the moonlight was.
The man walked into the courtyard, and Qingyu, who was immersed in the conversation, only then noticed someone approaching.
She stood up and looked at the man, but because she couldn't determine the man's purpose and identity, she didn't speak first.
The man who came forward finally saw her face clearly. She was indeed a beautiful lady with eyes as charming as bright stars.
But what amazed him was the determination in her eyes. He thought she would be afraid, but unexpectedly she was indescribably calm.
"I wonder which family's official daughter this young lady is?" The man asked first with a gentle smile on his face.
He could tell at a glance that her unique temperament and calm gaze definitely did not make her a palace maid.
She thought to herself, how did he know that she was the daughter of a minister?
Paying attention to the man's overall attire and his every move and gesture, he doesn't seem like a simple person.
She remembered what Xiao Yanqing said. According to her habit, it was better to be honest with such a mysterious person.
"I…can't tell you."
"……"man.
There was visible astonishment in the man's eyes. Although he expected that she might not say it, he did not expect her to be so blunt.
"Really…"
Even the eunuch beside him didn't react, cold sweat broke out on his back, "You..."
The man didn't mind and waved his hand to stop her. It was the first time in his life that he was treated like this. He couldn't help but be curious about the straightforward young lady in front of him.
"So, what are you doing here, young lady?"
"Well...wait for someone and enjoy the moon." She pointed to the moon in the sky, with a smile on her face that made people unable to take their eyes off her.
"Who are you waiting for?"
She blinked, "If I tell you, you will know who I am."
The man was startled, "Haha, the young lady is really smart."
However, he always felt that the person in front of him looked very familiar, yet somewhat strange, and for a moment he couldn't remember who it was.
"Why don't you come into the hall, young lady? It's already mealtime, so you must be hungry."
She pursed her lips and said with a bitter face, "I am indeed very hungry."
"But forget it."
"what happened?"
"Without an invitation from His Majesty, you shouldn't be able to enter." She gave a reasonable answer.
"I can take the young lady in."
"Really?" Her eyes lit up and she immediately smiled.
"of course."
After careful consideration, she thought of something and the joyful smile faded from her cheeks. This change seemed extremely cute to others, including the man in front of her.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. I don't know the rules of the palace. What if I do something inappropriate? I'd better not cause trouble for you."
"Haha, young lady is really cautious."
She smiled, but felt a little helpless.
"Is this the first time the young lady has entered the palace?" he asked, why he always felt that he had seen her before.
"Yes." She nodded.
She turned her attention to the eunuch next to the man, who had a bitter look on his face and seemed very anxious.
"If you have anything to do, you'd better go back quickly." She reminded deliberately.
The man then remembered, "That's right."
"It seems that I don't have much time to appreciate the moon with my young lady today."
"it does not matter."
"Go, bring some cakes to the young lady."
"Yes, I'll be there right away."
"My dear lady, we'll see each other again if we're lucky." The man smiled, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.
Seeing this, she also nodded in return, "Okay, thank you, sir."
As soon as they left the courtyard, the man ordered, "Have someone guard her and see who she is waiting for."
"Yes." The eunuch bowed quickly and accepted the order.
She watched the man's back as he left, and the bright light in her eyes gradually dimmed.
The man was dressed in fine clothes and had a gentle and elegant temperament. Even the tone of his voice carried an aura of authority without even being angry. If he was not in a high position, it would be totally unacceptable.
Who could it be?
After a while, the man's eunuch brought her snacks and tea.
After thanking him, she stared at the eunuch who was leaving, then looked at the cakes on the table, and after thinking for a while, she came up with an idea.
A moment later, she was happily eating the cake in her hand, and couldn't help but sigh that it was worthy of being the snacks in the palace, and it was indeed different from the ones outside.
In the blink of an eye, she noticed a dark shadow not far away.
Thinking about it, it seems that this man is interested in her.
She stood up naturally and walked back and forth. Before she knew it, the person who was staring at her was lost in the darkness.
"Hey? Where is she? She was here just now, how come she disappeared in the blink of an eye?!" The eunuch stood up and looked around for her.
And she had come behind the eunuch without anyone noticing, eating the food in her hand while watching him acting furtively.
"What are you looking for?"
"Hey! I'm looking for that..." When the eunuch said this, he was suddenly startled and turned around suddenly.
I don’t know when, the person I was looking for appeared behind me.
"I... didn't find anything..." The eunuch was shocked and quickly leaned back.
At this time, she was eating the food in her hand and pretending to help him look for it.
"Um...I'm leaving first..."
Before she could reply, the eunuch had already fled in panic.
She sighed slightly. It seemed that the palace was indeed full of dangers. Just by meeting one person, he wanted to know her identity.
Now she understood why Xiao Yanqing had given her so many warnings.
