A Promotion Guide in the Harem - C193

Han Liu shuddered when she saw Leng Qiyue’s smile. Her master had never been one to be at ease.

Sure enough, Leng Qiyue stood up and stuck close to him. With a soft voice, she said, “Han Liu, take me there!”

Han Liu shook her goosebumps. “All right, all right. In any case, the Empress has done so many disrespectful things and you’re still safe and sound. This servant isn’t worried that the emperor will find out and cut off this servant’s head.”

Leng Qiyue chuckled. “Why would the emperor kill you?” “No, don’t worry, I’m here.”

Han Liu mumbled, “It’s because you’re here that all the dangers this servant encounters are related to the Empress.”

Leng Qiyue intentionally put on a stern face and said, “Okay, you actually dare to look down on me.”

Han Liu decisively got up and walked to the door. She said calmly, “Empress doesn’t want to go?”

Cold sweat dripped down from Leng Qiyue’s forehead. What era was this? None of the servants in the harem were afraid of a master, and they even dared to threaten her! But as she thought about it, she quickly followed.

“Empress, I will go too.” Die was so bored that she started to panic, so she followed him.

The three of them passed through the imperial garden and entered a quiet, tree-lined path. After walking for a while, they saw a small courtyard in front of them.

“We’re here.” Han Liu pointed to the gate of the Scarlet Courtyard that was locked with iron chains.

Above the arched door was a carved plaque with the words “Sunset Pavilion” written on it.

Leng Qiyue walked forward and pulled on the iron chain. It was very sturdy, she definitely could not open it. Just as he was worrying, Xiao Die said, “Does the Empress want to go in? If you want to go in, this servant will help you pull it apart. ”

Leng Qiyue suddenly remembered that she was born with great strength, so she said, “Quick, let it go.”

With both hands holding the iron chain, Xiao Die pulled hard, causing the iron chain to become long and broken.

Looking at the shocked expression, Leng Qiyue couldn’t help but say, “Little Butterfly, your strength is too great. Be careful, you might not be able to get married in the future!”

Xiao Die’s face was full of black lines as she said, “My lady, you told me to break it. But now, you are teasing me again.”

Leng Qiyue chuckled, “Do I have one? “No, no, you must have heard wrong. Let’s go in.”

The small door opened, revealing a dark green area. The ground was originally covered with pebbles, but at this moment, it had already been covered by tenacious weeds. The three of them walked into the courtyard of the pavilion. There was a large tree there, the King of Rhododendrons. The tree was covered with red flowers, and it was as beautiful as the sunset or sunset.

Leng Qiyue sighed, “It’s so beautiful. It’s only been a dozen years since it has grown so big.”

Little Die also praised, “Yes, she’s so beautiful.”

Han Liu slowly walked around the tree, his eyes full of amazement. But when she came to a corner, she said in surprise, “Eh? How come there are no flowers here? ”

Leng Qiyue ran over, and sure enough, there was no newspaper about the branches of the trees. Even the leaves were listless and listless.

She lowered her head and saw that they were all fallen leaves. She used her hand to stroke them, and under the fallen leaves, a tree hole that was partially covered by dirt appeared. Just by looking at the protruding bark at the entrance, one could tell that it was a man-made dig. The accumulation of nutrient solution from the hesitating trees had already squeezed the entrance shut.

Han Liu’s thoughts were meticulous. She glanced at Leng Qiyue and asked in a low voice, “Empress, could there be something here?”

Leng Qiyue nodded and asked, “Which one of you has a dagger or something like that? I want to cut open this tree hole.”

Xiao Die ran her hand through her hair and took out a sharp dagger, handing it to Leng Qiyue.

Leng Qiyue looked at her, and suddenly the image of little Dingdang’s face appeared in her mind. It was just that the little butterfly’s pocket was on her head.

Seeing the two of them staring at her in surprise, Xiao Die said embarrassedly, “I have two tentacles. One can transform into a rope or whip type, and the other can transform into a blade type.”

Han Liu stretched out her hand and pushed up her chin, patting her chest. “Not bad, not bad at all. It’s daytime, but good thing I’ve seen a lot of strange things along with the Empress. Fortunately, I’m brave enough.”

Leng Qiyue chuckled and ignored the two of them. She stuck her dagger into the tree hole and cut off the bark bit by bit, gradually enlarging the hole.

The three of them stared at the tree hole with rapt attention, completely unaware that Die Fei was walking over with a palace maid.

“Aiyo, sister, what are you doing? Could it be that he wants to dig this cuckoo king back into your Moon Flower Hall? ” When she saw the three of them squatting together to dig, she could not help but mock them.

The three of them were startled by this sudden sound. Leng Qiyue dropped her dagger on the ground. She quickly picked up her dagger and put it back.

Leng Qiyue stood up and saw the butterfly Concubine in a floral outfit. She steadied her mind and smiled, “Why is little sister here? I heard there was a cuckoo king here, so I sneaked in to take a look. “Since we’ve been discovered by little sister, we should hurry up and leave. We don’t want the emperor to find out that Long Yan was so angry.”

Die Fei glanced at Leng Qiyue and said with a mocking smile, “Forget it, who would have known that the emperor would favor your sister so much that she wouldn’t blame you for such a small matter? Besides, this courtyard was sealed off by the previous empress. She’s already out of the palace with no power or influence. If you anger her, she can only stare helplessly. ”

Leng Qiyue glanced at the tree hole. The hole had opened up a little more than once, and with just a little more time, it would be done. At this time, Die Fei came running over to obstruct them, it was truly annoying.

Die Fei followed Leng Qiyue’s line of sight and saw the cave entrance. Her eyes turned and thought to herself, “Could it be that she’s hiding something here?” “If I can get hold of her, I can get rid of her in an instant. When that happens, even if the Emperor wants to protect her, he won’t be able to.”

Die Fei gave a cold laugh and said to the palace maid beside her, “Xiang Cui, go search through the tree hole. See if there’s anything else?”

“En!” Fragrant Cui agreed, but hesitated at the entrance of the tree, it was pitch black inside, what if there was a rat or snake ant inside, how scary would that be!

“XiangCui, what are you waiting for?” Die Fei shouted.

Xiao Die wanted to stop him, but Leng Qiyue quickly pulled her back. She looked at Die Fei and said with a smile, “Younger sister, why make things difficult for a little girl? If you want to find one, go find one yourself.”

Die Fei saw that Leng Qiyue did not care and started to mutter in her heart, “Could it be that I guessed wrong? There was nothing hidden inside? No, if they didn’t have something, then what were they sneakily coming here for? Hmph, no matter what she’s hiding, we’ll find out when we find her. ”

“XiangCui, hurry up. Do you need me to do it myself?” Butterfly urged again.

Xiang Cui’s face was pale. Fear filled her heart as she reached out her trembling hand towards the hole in the tree …

“Eh? “Empress, there’s something in the tree hole.” Xiang Cui said in surprise.

Hearing this, Han Liu and Xiao Die’s face changed. Only Leng Qiyue’s expression remained unchanged. In fact, she was quickly thinking of a countermeasure.
