Lian'er pursed her lips into a smile, "That's right, I've seen it often, so I didn't think it was that beautiful. Now that I want to look at it, I can only stand at a distance and watch it. Only now do I feel that this place is actually very beautiful. " Lian'er had a regretful expression.

"I envy you for being able to admire such a beautiful scenery." Bing-Er said to Lian'er sincerely.

Lian smiled but didn't say anything. She put her hands on the railing and looked at the pavilion and the pond in the distance.

Speaking of which, before I entered the Prime Minister's Estate, I've heard that there is a rule in the Residence of Prime Minister: you can only recruit a maid after leaving a servant girl, and a senior worker after leaving a servant girl. Is that true?" Bing-Er turned around and looked at him curiously.

Lian'er nodded slightly, "It's like this. I heard from the steward that this was done so that we could manage the servants. "

"Oh!" Bing-Er nodded, "So that means Xiu-Er is dead. That's why the House of the Minister recruited a servant girl, right?"

"Yes, that's it." Lian'er smiled at Bing'er with difficulty. Although she had forgotten about Xiu-Er during the time she lived with Bing'er, she still felt uncomfortable when she heard her name.

"But it's so strange. This time, the Prime Minister's Palace is recruiting young maidservants and a senior worker at the same time. Could it be that a senior worker left the Prime Minister's Palace?" "It is such a coincidence that Xiu-Er died and this worker left the House of General. What does this worker have to do with Xiu-Er's death?" Bing-Er lowered her head and said to herself.

"I won't. Chen Quan and Xiu-Er are from the same village, and they have a good relationship. I can guarantee that it has nothing to do with Xiu-Er's death." Lian'er retorted Bing'er without thinking.

The corner of Bing-Er's mouth slightly lifted up because she couldn't see Lian'er. It turned out that the worker was called Chen Quan.

"Is that so?" Bing-Er looked at Lian'er in disbelief.

"Of course it's true. Xiu-Er and Chen Quan are close. Chen Quan would never kill Xiu-Er." Lian'er said to Bing'er with certainty.

Bing'er looked around and when she saw that there was no one around them, she whispered to Lian'er, "Let me tell you something. I once heard from the other maids that Xiu-Er had given birth to a child for Chen Quan."

"Impossible!" I don't know about anyone else, but I know Xiu-Er very well. Xiu-Er has been with me ever since we entered the House of Prime. We haven't been apart for five years. How could I not know if Xiu-Er is pregnant? " Lian'er looked at Bing'er and said.

Bing-Er scratched her head in embarrassment, "Maybe I heard wrong."

Lian'er smiled at Bing-Er and said to her firmly, "You must have heard wrong. If Xiu-Er has ever given birth to a child, Xiu-Er will tell me. [There is no secret between Xiu-Er and me.]

"Ah, so it's already so dark. Let's go back." Bing-Er quickly changed the topic.

"Alright, let's go back." Lotus withdrew her hands from the railing of the long corridor and turned back to their quarters.

When Bing-Er just realized it, she saw a familiar figure standing in the pavilion. The figure stood with his hands behind his back, watching the beautiful scenery from the pavilion, giving off a feeling as if he was standing at the highest point of the world.

Although his back was facing Bing-Er, she could feel a noble aura from him.

Bing-Er subconsciously reached into her bosom and found a tough token. Bing-Er was relieved. She turned around and looked at Lian'er who had already walked a few steps away. "Lian'er, I have something to do over there. You can go back first."

Lian'er paused before answering, "Okay, I'll go back by myself first, but don't just walk around. The Prime Minister's residence is very big, so it's very easy for you to get lost." Lian'er said worriedly. However, when she turned around and looked at Bing'er, she couldn't see Bing'er anymore.

Bing-Er ran along the long corridor, looking at the pavilion as she ran, afraid that the man in the pavilion would leave. At the same time, she reached into her bosom and took the medallion she had seized from the man. She walked along the long corridor

She ran to the front of the stairs and ran down, but her feet suddenly slipped and her legs bent, causing her to fall forward involuntarily. Her body fell heavily onto the ground, and the token in her hand fell to the ground.

Bing'er ignored the pain in her body and climbed up from the ground to pick up the plate. She blew the dust off the token, and then she stood up and ran towards the pavilion. As she ran, she raised her head and looked at the pavilion.

Bing-Er was confused. She had clearly seen that well-dressed man standing in the pavilion, but why was it that in a blink of an eye, he was gone?

Thinking about this, Bing-Er was surprised. She quickened her steps and ran towards the pavilion. When she was panting heavily, she still didn't see the man. Bing-Er turned around and ran into the deeper parts of the garden, looking for the man. She hoped to find him and return the token to him.

However, she was still unable to find that man's figure.

Bing-Er still hadn't found the man even when it was already dark. Bing-Er sighed and carefully put the token in her pocket. It looked like she would have to keep the token for the man for a while.

Bing-Er scanned the garden and every corner of the pavilion again. When she still couldn't see the man, she turned around and left the garden in disappointment, heading back to her own residence.

Bing-Er walked along the path to her room. When she got to the door, she was about to open it. A small stone suddenly struck her left shoulder.

Bing'er couldn't help but turn around, only to see Zhining standing in front of her with her arms crossed and a smile on her face.

Bing'er forced a smile at Zhining, then slowly walked up to her, looking at her with displeasure. She asked in a small voice, "Why have you come so late?"

"My lady, I am very busy these days! I don't have the time to come and see you! " She had come to see Bing-Er earlier, but she had been very busy lately. She didn't have the time to come visit Bing-Er until today.

As soon as Zhining finished her sentence, Bing'er stepped forward and covered Zhining's mouth with her hand. At the same time, she put her index finger next to her mouth, "Shh!" Bing'er gave Zhining a look, indicating that there was someone in her room. Since she was so loud, Lian'er could easily hear her.

ZhiNing knocked Bing'er's hand away, "Don't worry, I've already pressed her acupoints. She won't wake up until tomorrow morning." ZhiNing looked at Bing'er as if she was looking at an idiot.
