  Two people simultaneously exhaled the breath they had been holding for half a day, and only then did Zhu Yucheng hear that there were people next door. Listening carefully, he found that two eunuchs were playing Go, arguing over a move to take back.

  He leaned in close to Chu Ke's ear and asked in a low voice, "Have you come in here?"

  "I see the Imperial Guards checking ahead, and it seems like there are also Brocade Guards. I'm afraid they'll ask me why I've come this far... Ah, is it to enter the palace? Do you have a token? Are you afraid of being checked?" Chu Ke asked in a low voice beside him.

  Zhu Yichan nodded, "Although I have a token of authority, I'm also afraid of being inspected... Entering the palace without an imperial edict is also a capital offense."

  "Is this possible? Going out?" Chu Ke asked anxiously.

  Zhu Yichan suddenly made a silencing gesture, tensely wrapping his arm around her shoulder and lowering his head.

  The two eunuchs who were arguing earlier got angry and stopped playing chess. They walked out of the adjacent room, still quarreling, but neither of them came to this side of the room. The two continued arguing until they reached the bright hall, where one of them stormed off first. The other stayed in the bright hall for a while, doing nothing, except making the sound of porcelain clinking. After a while, he also left and locked the door from the outside as soon as he turned around.

  The two people in the room held their breath until his footsteps were far away, and then they let out a sigh of relief. The two stood up.

  Zhu Yichen walked to the door of the bright hall to take a look, Chu Keqi hurriedly checked if there was anyone in the house first, and only when she confirmed that there really was no one did she dare to speak up. "What's going on now? Let's go out?"

  Zhu Yichan looked out from the gap in the door and said, "These two should be sweeping. The sky is almost dark, it should be deserted here, let's talk about it later when it gets dark."

  Chu Ke could only sit on the couch in the inner room with a worried and bitter face.

  Zhu Yichan looked outside for a while and also came in, "What's going on today?"

  Chu Keqian then explained the situation in detail, and Zhu Yuxuan listened to Lan Qixiang also getting involved, angrily saying "Is Lan Qixiang crazy?"

  "She was trying to harm me, but ended up filling it in... I see the Empress's arrangement, and suspect that tonight, the Emperor might..." She looked at Zhu Yuxian with a hint of awareness.

  Zhu Yichan thought for a moment and nodded, "Indeed, it's very likely... Oh no, if the Emperor is there, the guards will be even stricter, we'll have a hard time getting out."

  "What about now? Can we go out now?"

  "Did you just see the Imperial Guard? That means the Emperor must have arrived or is about to arrive, and security has been tightened." Zhu Yichen furrowed his brow and thought for a moment before looking at her reassuringly. "Don't worry, we'll think of a way to get out. If not, I'll sneak in two sets of clothes and waist tokens tonight, and we can disguise ourselves as eunuchs and palace maids, then blend in during the day."

  Chu Ke nodded with a worried brow and a bitter face, then suddenly burst out laughing.

  Zhu Yichan reached out to pinch her face and laughed?

  Chu Xue hastily hid, but was pulled into Zhu Yi Zhen's arms, who looked at her and asked: "Can you get drunk? I saw you being supported out, scared to the point of almost losing your soul."

  "I was framed by Chu Yun Ting, I didn't want to drink that wine, but it tasted pretty good, so I had two cups..."

  "What a dangerous place, and you even drank two cups?" Zhu Yichen thought to scold her with a straight face, but the words that came out were not severe enough, and still sounded like complaints.

  Chu Ke was asked to be at a loss for words, and could only mutter in a low voice: "I haven't eaten lunch until now, I haven't eaten dinner... I'm so hungry that my head is spinning..." As soon as he said this, his stomach suddenly growled loudly.

  Zhu Yuchen smiled, Chu Keqi felt embarrassed and was about to lower her head when Zhu Yuchen leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "It's getting dark, I'll go find something for us to eat..."

  ……

  Zhu Yichan and Chu Keqi had just come out of the East Warming Pavilion, when two figures sneaked towards the East Warming Pavilion. The one walking in front was one of the palace maids who had just supported Chu Keqi, while the one following behind the maid was Xiao Anzi.

  Two people flashed into the East Warm Pavilion, and the palace maid looked at the couch in the inner room, suddenly let out a surprised cry. Xiao Anzi was startled, rushed over to take a look, and also changed his face. He turned his head to glare at the palace maid and growled, "Who is it?"

  The palace maid was so frightened that she trembled all over, pointing shakily at the bed, still not daring to say that it was her servant who had personally helped her up...

  "Hurry up and find it!" Xiao Anzi shouted, then immediately started searching the house. The palace maid also hastily followed suit, rummaging around frantically.

  The Dongnuan Pavilion is just that big, and the two of them searched it in no time. They didn't see anything. The palace maid's face was pale, and Xiao Anzi was also very frightened. She hastily said to search again, and they also searched around. If not, I'll go find Father

  The palace maid trembled and replied.

  Xiao Anzi hastily exited the East Warming Pavilion and arrived at the main hall for receiving guests. Seeing his father standing behind the Empress, he didn't dare to call out and could only pace back and forth like an ant on a hot pot...

  The palace maid searched for another half day, still couldn't find it, then heard footsteps outside, scared her to quickly hide behind the screen. Another palace maid walked in with a long tray, placed it on the table, neatly arranged the four treasures of the study one by one on the table, then put the tray on the desk under the window and stood guard at the door.

  The palace maid was anxious, looked around for a while, picked up a shoe and quietly opened the window from behind the screen, threw it out, then quickly hid behind the screen again.

  The palace maid who was guarding the door heard a noise coming from behind the house and turned around to look, asking "Who's there?"

  The palace maid in the house ran out like flying.

  The palace maid behind only saw a few coins lying on the ground, looked at them strangely, didn't pick them up, and continued to stand guard at the door.

  ……

  Lan Zhi Xiang hadn't eaten a single bite of food, and she regretted saying that sentence. Although she disliked Chu Ke Qi very much, but for the sake of compensating her, she felt it wasn't worth it.

  She also thought that after the dinner party, she was still ordered to do things by the empress. These people were clearly favored by the empress and were meant to stay in the palace. Even if the emperor didn't favor them, they wouldn't be able to return home the next day. They would have entered the palace for good.

  So she must today
