C190 Waiting

As expected, when Xiao Gui was about to leave the Red Luan Palace, she was called back by the palace maid sent by the Queen.

"Where is this eunuch going?"

Xiao Gui looked very young and looked unfamiliar. He must have entered the palace not long ago. That palace maid did not even mention anything to him. It was said that to hit a dog requires a master, now that Duan Yunfei had no way of protecting herself, even a small palace maid could bully others with his power. If it was before, who would dare bully someone from Red Luan Palace?

Honestly speaking, everyone here was just a servant who handled matters for their master. What was there to be arrogant about, was it just because she came from the pepper house?

Before Xiao Ya could get angry, Gui Zi noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Ya and hurriedly replied to the palace maid before he could say anything.

This sister, yesterday the Eunuch Li beside His Majesty sent a servant to deliver this thing to him today. This, it's getting late now, if you don't go now, I'm afraid the Eunuch Li will get anxious. Xiao Gui showed the Warm Bag that was made from cow skin to the palace maid. He acted like he was anxious, as if the Eunuch Li was about to explode if he did not go now.

Eunuch Li's position in the palace was very high, even the empress would have to give three points to the Eunuch Li, not to mention the fact that he received a palace maid in the empress palace.

It was obvious that Xiao Gui was trying to find an excuse to sneak out of the Red Luan Palace in order to inform Duan Yunfei, but he had moved out the Eunuch Li. If what he said was true, and he had angered the Eunuch Li because he had stopped Xiao Gui, then this palace maid would probably have a good life in the palace.

In truth, Eunuch Li's image in front of others could be considered kind. After all, he was very old, and the seriousness of his youth was slowly wiped away by time. The current Eunuch Li looked just like an elder in a commoner's house. But because the Eunuch Li was served by Yuwen Di, the palace maids did not dare to provoke the Eunuch Li.

"So that's how it is. Then, Young Eunuch, you should hurry up and go. Don't delay Eunuch Li's business."

The palace maid could only helplessly release Xiao Gui to inform Duan Yunfei, thinking, "Esteemed Empress, don't blame me for being incompetent. I don't dare to provoke Eunuch Li either …"

Xiao Gui even gave Xiao Ya a look when she passed by, reminding her not to forget to divert this palace maid's attention to other places when Duan Yunfei returned, in case she looked around and accidentally saw the side door.

Seeing that her plan had succeeded, Xiao Ya did not become complacent. Before Duan Yunfei returned safely, everything could happen, who knows what might happen during this process?

"Elder sister, why don't you sit for a while?" The princess will not be able to come out for a while. "

The palace maid sneered in his heart. It was probably not because Duan Yunfei was not able to come out for a while, but rather, Duan Yunfei was not in Red Luan Palace at all. If she did not have the exact information, she would have been fooled by Xiao Ya's innocent look.

The reason the empress was so sure that Duan Yunfei had left the Red Luan Palace during her confinement was naturally because someone had told her this news.

So it turns out that ever since Duan Yunfei was sentenced to prison, Duan Yingluo had sent people to secretly guard outside of Red Luan Palace, waiting for him to sneak out. At that time, she would have something on him.

Duan Yingluo hated Duan Yunfei to the extreme, and because of this, Duan Yingluo understood Duan Yunfei very well. She had long since predicted that Duan Yunfei would not be able to endure half a month's worth of confinement, which was why she had sent people to watch over the place day after day.

This morning, after Zuo Yuan entered the Red Luan Palace, Duan Yingluo received the news.

"Duan Yunfei, looks like it's not too far from the time you made an exception."

Zuo Yuanyuan and Duan Yunfei's relationship was extremely close, and Zuo Yuan had entered the Red Luan Palace in a panic, so something must have happened. Duan Yingluo was not concerned about what had happened, what she was concerned about was Duan Yunfei's reaction. Fortunately, everything was within her expectations.

Sure enough, in less than an hour, Duan Yunfei left through the side door. From then on, Duan Yingluo hurriedly told this matter to the empress.

Although the Queen was unsatisfied with Duan Yingluo's actions, in the end, in the Empress's eyes, Duan Yunfei's existence was not worth the effort for Duan Yingluo to put in, and she was about to be married off. But it was different for Duan Yingluo. Her own blood brother, the Fifth Prince, was the precious son of the empress who had dedicated her entire life to promoting herself to the throne. Duan Yingluo should have spent her time making herself more outstanding, but marrying a good family could also become a part of the Fifth Prince's power.

But when she thought about Duan Yingluo's marriage, the Queen became extremely worried. The Empress had originally wanted to tie Duan Yingluo and Mu Chuyang together, but in the end someone came out of nowhere and snatched her son-in-law away. It was hard for Duan Yingluo to not bear grudges against Duan Yunfei as well.

After that, the Queen immediately sent her palace maids to Red Luan Palace to discuss things with Duan Yunfei.

had always been protecting Duan Yunfei, and it was not easy for him to make Yuwen Di angry this time, so the empress could not easily let this opportunity go.

Duan Yingluo had wanted to ask the Empress to go to the Red Luan Palace personally, because if that were to happen, Duan Yunfei would not be able to escape. Unfortunately, the Fifth Prince was being ignored by Yuwen Di in the imperial court, and the Fifth Prince was opposing him in the imperial court. The Empress was still worrying about this matter, and was thinking about how to restore the Fifth Prince's image in front of Yuwen Di.

"Xiao Ya, has Thirteenth Princess recovered yet? It's already been quite some time and the empress is still in a hurry."

"This elder sister is really embarrassed. No matter how anxious you are, you can't just casually let the princess see the empress. That would be a crime of great disrespect." This elder sister usually serves the empress as well, don't tell me she doesn't even understand these rules? "

Xiao Yang, who had just returned from the palace, saw a scene like this the moment he entered the room. Hearing the empress's palace maids nagging at him, he really couldn't swallow his anger.

Xiao Ya saw that Xiao Yang had returned, and cried out in her heart that there was hope for him. Xiao Yang had been in the palace for so many years, and had even experienced strong wind and heavy rain.

"You …" The empress's palace maid originally wanted to refute, but she was currently in Red Luan Palace and was surrounded by people from the Red Luan Palace. No matter who it was, she was the one at a disadvantage.

Moreover, Xiao Yang was Duan Yunfei's most beloved palace maid. For Xiao Yang's sake, Duan Yunfei had beaten him up.
