Chapter 9 Someone else?

As soon as Liu Yan finished speaking, she saw Liu E rushing out like an arrow from a string.

She was surprised for a moment, sniffing the faint fragrance in the air, and said to herself, "Have you lost your mind and gone crazy? Are you really thinking about the lame prince? But it's okay, it's really good to send them together. A perfect match!"

Thinking of what was going to happen next, Liu Yan covered her lips and smiled.

How can marrying into a prince's palace in a dignified manner be like being carried in a small sedan chair?

No matter how much the dowry is, I’m afraid I can’t afford it!
After snorting in the direction where Liu E disappeared, Liu Yan turned around and walked away.

On the other end, Liu E followed the direction pointed by Liu Yan to the abandoned palace next to Mingluan Hall.

The palace is called Xingyun Pavilion.The snow in winter is still there, especially in this cold abandoned palace.The branches, treetops, and lawn tips were all covered with snow. There were only a few scattered rows of footprints on the gravel path, and two rows of wheelchair ruts.

There is no doubt that it is here.

Liu E was a cautious person, so she just picked up the footprints and walked forward. When she reached the Crescent Gate, she stopped when she heard the laughter inside.

The windows of the abandoned palace had not been taken care of for a long time, and the rice paper above them was already covered with cobwebs.Several holes were left open, revealing some of the darkness inside the temple.

Outside the window, there were several well-dressed young men lying on their backs. Under one of them, a shorter young man, had a young eunuch lying bent over.

The young master held the window with both hands and was looking in with relish, "Seventh Brother, if we play like this, won't we kill Fifth Brother?"

"What are you afraid of! Even if he has made a king and opened a palace, he still has to be crawled by me like a dog!" The prince who was called the seventh brother sounded a little angry, "Besides, what kind of fifth brother is he! A beauty who cannot be favored. A bastard in life, didn’t he become a king because of his father’s compassion?!”

The seventh prince is a half-year-old boy who is as skinny as a bamboo pole, and he has a bad temper.Seeing that there was no movement in the dilapidated palace, he kicked the little eunuch next to him again, "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Put it in again!"

The little eunuch climbed up and down holding a bamboo basket half as tall as a man and walked to the palace gate.

The door creaked and was pushed open through a gap. The little eunuch shook his hands and used long-handled pliers to pick up a long snake with a white belly and black body from the bamboo basket and put it into the door.

Seeing that the little eunuch was hesitant, the seventh prince walked over and kicked the little eunuch and the bamboo basket into the palace.

With a "pop--", the Seventh Prince closed the door from the outside to the inside and locked it again.

At this moment, the high-pitched howl of the little eunuch finally came from the palace.

But the people outside the door were clapping and applauding.

Several young men from aristocratic families also poked their heads in to look inside. They were pushing and shoving, but no one was willing to fall behind.

"That dull gourd of the fifth prince is silent, how can he be more fun than a little eunuch!" One of the dandy sighed, "No wonder you, the fifth prince, are used to taking vent on these rootless things."

"The Seventh Prince still knows how to play! Isn't watching this more interesting than watching goblins fight?!" The second dude sighed as he looked inside, "And the powder that can make snakes wake up from hibernation? Your Highness, please give me some. My brother-in-law is the one who has the highest level of ambition, so give him a scare when you have time!"

"Natural, natural. I specially asked the imperial physician to prepare this powder for me, and it will be replaced if it is genuine!" The seventh prince was obviously flattered by the praise.

However, before they were excited for a while, the little eunuch who was originally wailing in the room fell silent.

"What's going on?!" The tenth prince scratched his head and looked, "Could it be that he was eaten by a snake?"

"Trash!" the seventh prince sneered coldly, "I just fainted from fright."

Several people were a little disappointed.

"What are you doing?" Just as a few people focused their attention on the little eunuch at the feet of the tenth prince, Liu E appeared behind them with a smile.

She appeared so suddenly that she was almost face-to-face with these dandies, and the timid ones were so frightened that they couldn't help but make a sound.

The seventh prince was also startled. He glanced at Liu E and realized that the person standing in front of him was just a cute little girl.

Judging from his clothes, he is not from the palace.She must be the daughter of a certain family.

"Who are you?" As the saying goes, when beating a dog, it depends on the owner.Although the seventh prince didn't have much brains, he also knew that some ministers' daughters were more honorable than his fifth brother, who was unable to hold up the wall.

It's always right to be polite before fighting.

"The second girl from the First Assistant's family is also the future Princess Changshan." Liu E smiled and replied, "Can I play with you?"

When he heard about the second daughter of the first assistant's family, the seventh prince was still a little wary. Later, when he heard the words "Princess Changshan", he almost laughed out loud.

Who doesn't know that the fifth prince, King Changshan, is a useless loser? !Liu E brought up the title of Princess Changshan, and it was obvious that she was not favored at home.

Otherwise, who would be willing to marry a good daughter into the Changshan Palace? !

When the Seventh Prince heard Liu E's question, he subconsciously felt that Liu E didn't know who the person locked in the deserted palace was.

This is somewhat interesting...

He raised his eyes sideways and said in a somewhat meaningful tone, "Do you really want to play with us?"

"Of course." Liu E said.

"Now, we are playing the secret room treasure hunt game. Xiao Shi just put a rare treasure in the palace, and whoever finds it will belong to him. If you are interested, you can go in and give it a try." The seventh prince said Someone who is not stupid enough to mention the name of the tenth prince directly.

At worst, he would just blame Xiao Shi for what happened today. Anyway, his father was partial to him, so he was naturally reluctant to punish him severely.

"Ah! That servant really wants to have some fun." Liu E looked surprised and couldn't help but urge the little eunuch standing by to open the door quickly.

The Seventh Prince felt that the second young lady of the First Assistant Mansion was simply stupid.How could anyone rush to be tortured with her future husband?

He smiled playfully, then opened the door and sent Liu E in.

The hall was dark. Liu E had only taken a few steps when she almost tripped over a little eunuch who had fainted.

She raised her toes and kicked the little eunuch, and the night pearls on her feet shone brightly.

Several snake heads spitting out letters instantly crawled out of the little eunuch's sleeves and chest.

Liu E was always ruthless. She raised her eyes and glanced at the broken window.The sky was getting dark, and there were pillars blocking the way, so it was hard to see clearly what was going on here.

Leaning over and using a thin thread to cut a bloody mark on the little eunuch's neck, Liu E Shiran stepped over the little eunuch who was about to die.

The smell of blood gradually spread, and dozens of snakes rushed toward the little eunuch. Gradually, only a corner of his robe was left, and then the whole person disappeared.

Liu E took off the luminous pearls from her shoes and put them into her cuffs, then continued walking in without making any pause.

This side hall should have been the residence of a concubine of the previous dynasty, with many gauze curtains hanging from top to bottom.There is also a swaying white silk hanging on one of the beams.

When I was in it, I felt a chilly atmosphere from the inside out.

Due to the accumulation of dust on the ground, the winding traces left by crawling snakes can be faintly seen, as well as...footprints.

Liu E instantly became alert.

The fifth prince is not good enough to leave such clear footprints.

But the little eunuch just now fell down at the door.

So, is there someone else in this room?
Liu E's back suddenly became tense.
