The young man's unique breath surrounded his ears. Xu Nuo's body trembled slightly with dissatisfaction, and then he concentrated on paying attention to the situation outside.
Her facial features are very sharp, and few people can approach her without warning. Even if she observes extremely carefully at this moment, she has never noticed anyone outside the house.
Xiao Yuan was also aware of the abruptness of his actions just now, but he didn't want to show the fact that he had never touched a woman before. He let go of his promise calmly, squatted down, and held the dagger close to the window. His eyes were alert and sharp, as bright as the night sky. The brightest star.
The lamps were lit in the house. If Xiao Yuan stood and walked, the maid outside might spot his shadow from the window. Xu Nuo didn't need to worry about this. He followed him with a dagger in his hand, and then he heard extremely subtle footsteps.
The sound of footsteps fades away...
What Xiao Yuan said just now can be regarded as the most confidential content in the entire palace during this period. If anyone listens to it, the consequences will be disastrous.
But he chased him out without any scruples, and when someone saw a man coming out of Xu's house, Xu's reputation would be at stake.
Xu Nuo seemed to understand Xiao Yuan's concerns, glanced at him, opened the door and chased out, but he didn't even see the shadow of the man. The courtyard was empty in the night, and the sound of tree branches being disturbed by the wind could be heard quietly.
There were no maids in the courtyard. I guess they all went to have dinner. Xu Nuo looked around and didn't see Chuntang, so he went to the courtyard gate and asked the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper just shook his head and said that no one was looking. arrive.
When Xu Nuo returned, he saw Xiao Yuan sitting comfortably on the couch, chewing on the duck leg from before. The food was delicious, and there was no look of worry or anxiety on his face.
Being eavesdropped on such an important matter, he still managed to sit upright. Not in a hurry at all?
Xu Nuo discovered that Xiao Yuan was not only thick-skinned, but also had a better attitude. He would not leave quickly even if the soy sauce bottle was overturned.
She wasn't hungry at first, but now smelling the fragrance of duck legs and seeing Xiao Yuan eating so deliciously, she became hungry unconsciously: "Hey, isn't it for me?"
Xiao Yuan looks gentle, but his speed is extremely fast. A big duck leg turned into a white bone in the blink of an eye.
He quickly wrapped the bones, and carefully wiped his hands and mouth, which were barely stained by oil, and made sure his appearance was fine before saying, "You don't want it. I can't eat it yet."
"Do you know who that person was just now?" Xu Nuo was thinking about the person just now. She didn't feel anything about the person's approach, but Xiao Yuan noticed it. It can be seen that he is sharper than himself.
Xiao Yuan stood up. He glanced at Xu Nuo's white wrists exposed in his cuffs, and thought of the smooth touch just now, his expression was a little unnatural. After coughing, he did not answer Xu Nuo's question, but said another thing, saying: "Guo's purse, stuffed I gave a cloth chopstick to a maidservant, but the maidservant’s nails were only dyed on her right hand.”
He was ordered by Concubine Liu Def. Monitoring the movements of Guo, the queen's favorite sister, he naturally followed Guo to this banquet. He saw her every move clearly and knew exactly what Guo wanted to do. Naturally, he also knew what kind of information Xu Nuo wanted to get.
Before Xu Nuo had time to ask anything, Xiao Yuan opened the window and jumped out.
Damn it, this is not the rear window from Suzhou, this is the front window!
What to do if someone sees you!
Xiao Yuan naturally went out when he saw no one outside the hospital. He would never let anyone know that he was connected or knew Xu Nuo. He didn't want to implicate her. But today when he saw her at the Duke's Mansion, he stepped forward to check on Guo's body without hesitation, without caring about himself. He couldn't bear it anymore and specially cooked a large table of dishes to give her a late reception feast. .
After Xu Nuo got Xiao Yuan's letter, he immediately went to Xu Gucheng, cleverly talked about the purse, and asked him to send a message to Lu Erniang.
Xiao Yuan jumped off the wall of Xu's house and immediately became cold and calm. Wherever he stood, his face seemed to have the words "Keep strangers away" written on his face.
Two black figures jumped over, bowed and saluted: "Sir."
"Who was eavesdropping outside just now?" Xiao Yuan walked forward quickly and asked in a very low voice.
"I don't know." The two black figures answered in unison.
"Huh?" Xiao Yuan stopped suddenly.
Heiying immediately clasped his fists and confessed: "The little one was hit on the back of the neck and fainted. He only woke up when you came out."
When Xiao Yuan heard this, his eyes became deep, he raised his hand and waved back, and the black shadow immediately retreated.
That person actually escaped, who was it?
It must not be the senior brother.
Xiao Yuan knew very well in his heart how many people could survive in his hands today, but he would rather hope it was someone else. He accepted that things were more difficult, but he didn't want it to be his senior brother.
When he arrived at his usual restaurant, he went to the private room he visited most often. He looked at the exquisite and generous dishes and smiled to himself.
It was obviously a waste of time and effort, but I didn’t know how to tell her, let alone how to invite her to eat.
Even the emperor has not eaten such carefully prepared dishes for more than a year.
A middle-aged man with a flattering face came in and looked at Xiao Yuan with a smile: "Mr. Xiao Silang, are there any other guests coming?"
Xiao Jiashiro is famous for being a good cook. He has only taught them how to cook a few dishes in the restaurant over the years, and his restaurant has gained a foothold in Bianjing. The shopkeeper always emphasizes that he must serve the restaurant well. , he naturally did not dare to neglect.
Looking at such a table of dishes, Xiao Yuan thought for a while, and finally sat down and started eating by himself, still eating gracefully and quickly.
It's because that guy didn't have a good taste, it's not that he didn't dare to treat her to food.
Early the next morning, news came from the Duke's Mansion that the purse had been found. With Lu Erniang's strength, she could quickly find out the cause and effect.
Xu Nuo asked Xu Gulei for advice on the tea ceremony in the morning, and left his lunch in the third room for use. Unexpectedly, just as he was sitting in front of the dining table, the maid ran in in a panic.
Xu Gulei glanced at the maid, put down the chopsticks he had just picked up, and without showing an unhappy expression, asked calmly as before: "What's wrong?"
"There is an imperial edict, please let us Sixth Lady go and receive the edict." The maidservant was brought from Zhong's natal family when she got married. Because Xu Gulei had no concubines or a married woman, the maidservant was also very responsible, and in a few years she became the most powerful person in the third wife's house. The most honorable person.
Even though she has seen the big world, the maid is still a little excited.
Xu Nuo's heart moved. Xiao Yuan had just said that if a noble person invited her to stay in the palace for a while, she must find an excuse to leave early. Now there is an imperial edict.
Because he understood the content of the imperial edict, Xu Nuo didn't feel any excitement or nervousness. He returned to Mingjin Pavilion and changed into brighter clothes according to Lu's instructions. Then he walked through the courtyard verandah to the hanging flower door, and saw a man standing at the door holding a hand. A eunuch with an imperial edict.
Just looking at him from a distance, you can tell from the shape of his eyebrows, eyes and mouth that the eunuch is a harsh and calculating person. (To be continued...)
