The palace maid finally stopped, still a hair away from Gu Lan.
A scent of jasmine drifted into the nose.
Gu Lan looked down at her slightly.
"Meet His Highness King Jingyang!"
She followed the palace maids and bowed, without showing any signs of strangeness in her expression, which made Gu Lan's eyes shudder.
Come to your senses.
"You... know me too?" Gu Lan asked her with a special nod.
The palace maid smiled slightly, and the coldness on her face followed the smile: "His Royal Highness King Jingyang is famous, who in this palace doesn't know him?"
"Isn't it strange that they know each other? They are old people in the palace..."
Gu Lan nodded, smiled slightly and said, "But I don't know you."
The maid's smile disappeared, but her tone remained calm and composed: "The prince is joking. This slave is just an ordinary palace maid. How can the prince know her?"
Gu Lan shook his head: "I don't know you, but you seem very familiar to me. Can you tell me why?"
The palace maid looked into Gu Lan's eyes and didn't answer yet.
The Imperial Guards on the side couldn't help but be speechless... Damn it, His Highness King Jingyang's method of seduce the palace maids is too old! ?
It's a pity that people are under the roof and they have to eat. They can only hold back forcefully and don't dare to make the slightest rebellious move... Otherwise, a hero will definitely come to the rescue at this time!
"I'm not a newbie... Maybe the prince has met my servant somewhere before. After all, the palace is so big, it's normal to have a chance encounter once in a while. The prince and nobles forget things a lot, so how can they remember them all?"
Gu Lan nodded, seeming to accept her statement.
He continued to ask: "What is your name? Which palace do you belong to?"
"Back to your lord, your servant Yuyang is the maidservant of the Dowager Empress of Cining Palace."
"Toffee..."
Gu Lan showed a hint of surprise, then smiled.
"Okay, let's go!"
As if he was just asking a few questions at random, the palace maid smiled at him, nodded, and left with a graceful figure.
Gu Lan's mind moved, and an extremely obscure imprint of divine thoughts was left on the body of the Yuyang Palace Maid.
With his current Imperial realm cultivation, if Yuyang was really just an ordinary palace maid, it would be impossible for her to discover his spiritual mark. With this mark, Yuyang's every move would be under his control.
Gu Lan was very cautious about this palace maid, always feeling that she was not as simple as she seemed. Even though her explanation was reasonable, her behavior was too calm, and her aloof demeanor did not look like a palace maid at all.
Even if it is the concubine's maid, it is impossible.
This temperament is simply more attractive than the concubine!
As the palace maid left and disappeared into a group of female officials and palace maids, the Imperial Guards on both sides couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Is King Jingyang really not interested in the palace maid?
Didn't he see the appearance and figure of this palace maid?
Just let him go? !
They were a little unbelievable that they could give up their beauty so easily when they were so caught off guard? After all, she is just a palace maid, even if she is a palace maid next to the concubine, if King Jingyang wants to, can the concubine be saved?
The Imperial Guards knew that this was impossible, so when Gu Lan asked the palace maid to leave, they were so surprised and admired Gu Lan.
After all, not every man can see beauty as nothing.
After most men gain power, they will just indulge in it.
Gu Lan ignored the thoughts of the imperial guards. He was still walking in the palace with an indifferent expression as before, but his mind was focused on the imprint of his spiritual mind.
After the palace maid Yuyang merged into Tingting's curling team, she had already gone far away, but she still could not escape Gu Lan's surveillance.
but!
Contrary to what Gu Lan thought, when she left, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her rosy mouth, which was incompatible with the coldness on her face...
If Wu Fan could be here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that this palace maid was the black-robed woman who led him to the Plum Grove in the north of the city two months ago!
And Gu Lan felt familiar with her, indeed because they had a close relationship across the void of memories.
But at that time, Gu Lan only saw a vague figure from behind.
...
In Cining Palace, "Palace Maid Yuyang" slowly walked in.
The concubine was sipping tea leisurely when she noticed that a palace maid had come in. Without even raising her head, she ordered: "The tea is running low. Go get some of the Tianshan Spring that melts the snow water from the Tianshan Mountains."
However, Yu Yang did not move at all.
The concubine waited for a moment, her brows suddenly furrowed, and she had only one thought in her mind, where did this palace maid come from, how could she be so ignorant of the rules?
She was holding tea, raised her head and was about to say something angrily, but the moment she saw the palace maid, her pupils suddenly shrank!
The tea cup in the concubine's hand suddenly fell to the ground and broke into pieces, but she didn't notice it at all and still looked at the palace maid with shock!
If you look carefully, you can notice that in addition to shock, there is also a faint hint of fear in the concubine's eyes!
Yuyang looked at it with a half-smile, as if he had expected it.
The concubine suddenly came back to her senses. After being stunned for a moment, she quickly asked someone to close the palace door, leaving only her and Yu Yang inside, not knowing what to talk about.
…
Gu Lan on the other side paused slightly in his walking steps!
His expression froze.
Because at some unknown moment, he suddenly discovered that the mark of spiritual thoughts he planted had disappeared!
This was the first time someone had erased it, and he immediately became alert!
"It's interesting... I feel more and more familiar with this palace maid..."
There was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, even though the mark of spiritual thought disappeared, he was surprised and even more interested.
Thinking back to the time when the spiritual mark was interrupted, it seemed that it was when the palace maid named Yuyang transferred to Cining Palace?
I wonder if it has something to do with the concubine?
Thinking of this, Gu Lan's unparalleled spiritual power spread out like a tide and enveloped the entire palace.
Especially Cining Palace, Gu Lan put most of his spiritual power into the detection of the Cining Palace area.
"No?"
"Leaving so soon?"
He was even more surprised.
Gu Lan had never done anything like this before, but once he used it, the effect would be extraordinary.
Every move in the entire palace could not escape his search, but it only took a lot of spiritual energy.
However, despite such a search, the palace maid was still not found?
Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Gu Lan pondered slightly.
Now there are only two explanations.
First, the palace maid has left the palace. If you want to find her, you must expand the search area.
The second is that the palace maid has any means to shield his spiritual sense detection... This can also explain why his spiritual sense mark disappeared.
Relatively speaking, Gu Lan was more inclined to the second possibility, because the time difference between when he noticed that the spiritual mind disappeared in Cining Palace and when he tried his best to detect it was too short, the palace maid should not have had time to leave the palace.
Thinking of this, Gu Lan headed towards Cining Palace, but he stopped just after taking a few steps.
Under divine thought.
The concubine was sitting alone in the Cining Palace, closing her eyes and concentrating, but there was no trace of the palace maid around her.
This palace maid actually disappeared!
