"Oh? That was really an accident." A Piao nodded, "Can you be more detailed? For example, how long was it from that day to now, and what kind of situation was it that made Auntie have to take such a big risk? , bring the Japanese to the city to meet."
"It's like this. That day should be the third month since A Ping passed away, and it was also the third month since she left this mess to her sister. Oh, it's not three months, it's already half a year, right?" See His Highness nodded, and the aunt continued, "My sister is already suitable and can handle some things smoothly. Without my intervention, I have to deal with my own affairs. Because during the time when A Ping passed away, my own affairs They were all delayed, and I didn’t get in touch with Aoki and my unspeakable good friend. They all couldn’t wait.”
"Can't wait?" Ah Piao thought for a moment and immediately understood what her aunt meant, "In those few months, you lost contact with them?"
"That's pretty much it. I only had a few words and phrases in a month, and I haven't seen each other in person. Basically, we have lost contact. And those words and phrases only told them that there were some emergencies happening here that I couldn't leave. The specifics They don’t know what it is.”
"My aunt's unspeakable good friends have no way to confirm what kind of emergency situation you are in, but His Highness Aoki should be able to, right? If he can't receive any news from his aunt, he should be able to go to the palace to find you, right? ?”
"I know, he can't come in." His Highness sighed softly, "My aunt stayed with me in the palace for those few months. On the one hand, she was keeping vigil for my sister, and on the other hand, she was worried about my state. So, I haven't left the palace in the past few months. My aunt is a female and can't come to the front, and Aoki is a foreigner and can't go to the back." She shrugged, "So, even if he is in a hurry, he can't break in. Come. If he dares to come, it will be an intrusion into the palace, which is a capital crime. Even if he is a member of the royal family, he will not be exempted from the crime."
"So, he can only worry outside the palace, right?" Seeing His Highness nod, Ah Piao raised an eyebrow, "Auntie was caught by His Highness Qingmu and met her unspeakable good friend for the first time in three months. Going out of the palace for the first time?"
"Yes!" The aunt nodded, "In the first half month, I sent them letters and arranged for them to meet at a certain time and place. Only by finalizing their time can I free up my own time." She saw Ah Piao looked thoughtful, "Did you think of something?"
"I was thinking that it was not an accident that my aunt met His Highness Aoki at the restaurant that we had agreed upon, but it was arranged."
"You mean..." This was the first time my aunt heard this statement, "He's staring at me?"
"Otherwise? My aunt has suddenly lost contact with her for so long. His Highness Aoki can't possibly not feel the abnormality. However, he can't personally go to the palace gate and squat down, right? But he can send someone to keep an eye on him. , once you appear, or the people around you appear, they will follow you. Therefore, your every move will be under the watchful eye of His Highness Aoki."
"You mean, it's possible that the letter I sent was read by Aoki?" Auntie shook her head in disapproval, "No way, if he intercepts my letter, I will know, and my friends will know too."
"You have been working with His Highness Aoki for so many years, haven't you noticed some of his methods? He wants to intercept your letter, and doesn't want you and your friends to know that he can do it in many ways. In this regard, we I have learned this many times. Besides, once you leave the palace, he will send someone to follow you. Even if he does not intercept your letter, he will know where you are and who you are meeting." Seeing my aunt Looking a little shocked, Ah Piao twitched the corner of her mouth, "Although he knows where you will meet your friends, he doesn't know who your friends are. He went to meet by chance because he wanted to chat with you. After all, Everyone would be anxious if they lost contact for so long."
"So, bumping into my friend was an accident?"
"Yes." Ah Piao nodded, "For him, it is an unexpected gain, and it is also a huge surprise."
"It was indeed a surprise. Although after being bumped into by him, my friend left in a hurry. He didn't ask me who my friend was. He just made a few casual gossips and left with his brother."
"Oh? You didn't ask?" Wu Shudan sneered, "How can he be so calm?"
"He really calmed down. He mentioned my friend a month after this meeting. During this period, we met several times, and he never asked about this." Auntie sighed softly, " It was because of this that I was careless and relaxed my vigilance against him, thinking that he would not notice my friend. After all, my friend has lived here for many years and generally speaks our language, as well as the strange accent of foreigners. No, he should look no different from our locals. However, I didn’t expect that he still took my friend into his heart.”
"How did he mention your friend to your aunt?" Ah Piao thought for a while and looked at her aunt, "Did he mention it suddenly, or did he slowly bring the topic to your friend? If he mentioned it suddenly, You should be wary, right?"
"It wasn't brought up suddenly, but slowly led me to reveal my friend's situation, and it wasn't mentioned all at once."
"It wasn't mentioned once?" His Highness blinked, "What does this mean? Or was it mentioned several times? Didn't you realize there was something wrong with what he said?"
"No, Aoki, this kid, always talks very seductively. He will make you follow him unknowingly, and unknowingly trick you into getting the information he wants to know. When you really come to your senses, Everything is over." My aunt smiled bitterly, "I still haven't figured out how I told him about my friend's situation, and I don't remember what I said at all."
"Can't remember anything?"
"Yes." The aunt nodded, "Actually, there are many so-called capable people and strangers around him, but they are actually following some crooked ways. I can't tell whether they gave Aoki something that can confuse people's minds. That's for sure." She thought for a while, "There are a few people from the Western Regions around him. If you have a chance, you can check. The things in their hands are probably not good stuff."
"We can do this." A Piao nodded, "After aunt knew that she betrayed her friend, did she use a trick to let them meet?"
"It's not just a trick, it's Aoki who convinced me."
"What reasons did he use to convince you?"
"If things come to light, we can blame everything on the Japanese and pretend that we have never done anything and don't know anything."
