Stunning Phoenix Emperor

Chapter 498

Mei Ruoshui frowned, and was about to get up, when she had a sudden thought, grabbed the sandalwood burner by the pool, and threw it at the window.
"Boom!" The exquisite window lattice was broken, and the strong wind immediately poured into the hall, blowing away the heat condensed on the hot spring.
The black shadow outside the window obviously didn't expect to be discovered by the owner as soon as he set foot, and ran away in a hurry.
"My lord? What happened?" Yu Xiao, who was guarding the door, rushed in when she heard the loud noise inside.
Mei Ruoshui still grabbed the clean underwear and put it on her upper body, but her hair was still dripping with water, staining her clothes.
When Yu Xiao saw the messy windows, she couldn't help being startled, and she didn't know what to say.
Mei Ruoshui quickly tidied up her clothes, didn't care to dry her hair, and jumped out of the broken window.
"Mr. Mei! What happened?" The guards who heard the sound in the distance were also startled, but when they rushed over and saw the big hole in the window, they were also secretly startled.
Mei Ruoshui ignored them, and looked around, but only saw the wind and shadows, and the night was dark, it was really hard to tell where the man went.
"Young Master!" It was Yu Xiao who walked around from the outside and hurriedly took a thick cloak and put it on his shoulders.
"That's all." Mei Ruoshui shook her head, glanced at the guards, and said coldly, "Be careful next time, don't think that no one can cure you if His Highness is not in the palace!"
"Yes!" Everyone was terrified when they met his cold gaze.
Sure enough, he was slack, and someone actually sneaked into the vicinity of the main hall of the East Palace. What if the assassin got it?Even if Mei Ruoshui said nothing more, they really didn't dare to just leave without doing anything. After all, there were sneaky night walkers in the palace. What if they broke into Her Majesty or some noble person again... Just thinking about it made them feel chilly, and immediately under the leadership of the captain, they stepped up their search without mentioning it.
"Master, are you okay?" Yu Xiao asked cautiously.
"What can I do?" Mei Ruoshui laughed, but she slowly walked back to the window where the night walker was just found.
You know, now that everyone knows that the Empress Dowager is not in the Eastern Palace, who would visit the Eastern Palace at night at this time?
Yu Xiao followed behind him, not daring to say anything, but moved silently to block the upper hand.
Mei Ruoshui didn't care about him, turned her head, and suddenly found a black cloth strip hanging on a stalk of emerald bamboo, and hurriedly stepped forward to take it off.
Holding it in his hand, he saw that the edge of the cloth strip was very rough. It should be that the person was caught by the bamboo branch and tore it off in a hurry after Mei Ruoshui discovered it.I squeezed it hard, but it turned out to be fine silk.
Who actually uses high-quality silk to make night clothes?Do you burn your hands if you have too much money?What's more, silk is light and easy to tear, and you need to be careful in daily wear, and it's not suitable for this kind of thing.
"Young master, it's... windy, should you go back to the house first?" Seeing him standing like this and contemplating, Yu Xiao couldn't help but said, "Young master's hair is wet, blowing the cold wind all the time may cause a headache tomorrow."
Mei Ruoshui came back to her senses, glanced at him, turned around and entered the hall through the main entrance.
Yu Xiao hurriedly took a clean cloth towel to wipe his hair, and at the same time ordered someone to quickly reinstall the windows of Liuquan Hall.
"Okay, step back." Mei Ruoshui picked up a strand of half-dry hair and waved her hand.
"Yes." Hearing this, Yu Xiao packed up her things and stepped back.
Mei Ruoshui got up and went back to her room, still holding the corner of the cloth in her hand, thinking about various possibilities in her mind.
After a long time, the turmoil outside gradually subsided, and the night returned to its usual calm.
Mei Ruoshui finally threw the strip of cloth under the pillow and let out a long breath.
Forget it, let's think about everything tomorrow.It is not a trivial matter to cause thieves in the East Palace, and the empress will definitely ask for inquiries tomorrow, so it is better to get enough energy first to deal with it.
However, not long after falling asleep, there was another commotion outside.
Mei Ruoshui's martial arts are advanced, so she was alert at the first moment. When Yuxiao came to knock on the door, he was already dressed properly, but his tone was very displeased: "What's the matter?"
"My lord, Mr. Rong Gui has arrived!" Yu Xiao said.
Mei Ruoshui was taken aback when she heard the words, in the middle of the night?
Although after Queen Feng was placed under house arrest, Mr. Rong Gui was in charge of the affairs of the harem on the surface, but...the East Palace was troubled by thieves, so his reaction must have been too quick!What's more, even if you care about it, you don't have to come to the door in the middle of the night, I'm afraid the visitor is not good.
Originally, I thought the empress had got the news and sent someone over to check it out, but since it was Mr. Rong Gui...
With a sneer, he took off his clothes again, burrowed into the bed, and said loudly: "Just reply to Rong Guijun, I was frightened, I blew the wind again, I feel a little uncomfortable, I have already fallen asleep, and I will go to Liuxu tomorrow." Gong greets you."
"Yes." Yu Xiao agreed after a while, her pretty face twisted a bit.
Surprised... how is it possible?I'm afraid that the suspected assassin was more frightened, right?People who have served in the East Palace for a long time, more or less know what kind of person Mei Ruoshui is, but since the master ordered him to do so, he can only go out and deal with it like this.
Mei Ruoshui was lying on the bed, no longer sleepy, only thinking about Rong Guijun's reason for coming.
Even if he didn't believe in any excuses for being surprised, the meaning of rejection in these words was the most obvious. Thinking about it, Mr. Rong Gui would be embarrassed to have to wake him up, or insist on going into the palace to visit him or something.As for going to Liuxu Palace tomorrow to say hello?Of course he will go, but first go to Zichen Palace to greet Her Majesty the Empress!
Rong Guijun...
Thinking about it, he couldn't help frowning again.
In recent days, he has received a lot of posts from Mr. Rong Gui inviting him to taste tea and enjoy flowers, and he doesn't know what kind of mind he is still at such a time. It is not a way to know oneself and not to know each other after all, maybe... I was also invited once to see what his intentions were.However, as soon as this idea popped up, it was immediately suppressed.
