Chapter 189 White Marble Jade Hairpin
Chu Qingyuan finally swam near Cui’an Hall, where the canal turned a corner, and the water flow became slow.
She poked her head carefully, and there was silence around her, with only the occasional sound of insects coming.
Cui’an Palace is located in a relatively remote corner of the palace. Since Concubine Xie was executed for an affair with the eldest prince, it has been abandoned and no one cares about it. Chu Qingyuan chose this place as a temporary hiding place because she was attracted by its desolation and concealment.
She quietly got ashore from the canal, her wet robe pressed against her body, and the chill penetrated into the bone marrow along her skin.
She looked around vigilantly again quickly, and after confirming that there was no one, she used her internal force and walked towards the hidden place of Cui’an Hall while evaporating the moisture in her robe bit by bit.
Her movements were light and fast, silent, as if no one had passed by.
Although the Cui’an Palace was quiet, less than a few months after Concubine Xie died, the gate of the palace was half-closed, but a cold breath came out.
Chu Qingyuan didn’t stay for too long. She knew that there was no one living here, and it was a good place for her to hide for the time being.
She quickly took out a dry clean veil and wiped the water droplets between her hair.
When she stroked her hand on her hair crown, she realized that the hairpin that fixed the hair crown was gone.
Chu Qingyuan frowned and a cold sweat surged from her body.
She was careless! This hairpin must have fallen accidentally while swimming. At this moment, she just hopes that her hairpin will not be found by those who are interested.
After finishing the organization, she let out a sigh of relief, her eyes passed through the gaps in the hall gate, and looked at the location of the main hall. She knew that she had to return to the main hall as soon as possible, otherwise the longer the time would delay, the more suspicion would be.
Just as she was about to leave Cui’an Hall, a slight sound of footsteps came from afar. Chu Qingyuan’s heart tightened and quickly hid in the shadows in the hall, holding her breath, staring at the direction of the hall gate.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally stopped outside Cui’an Hall. Chu Qingyuan vaguely saw a figure through the gap.
When the man turned around, Chu Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
She opened the hall door a little and said to the person outside the door: “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
The person coming was Yinsha. Through the crack in the door, he saw the person inside clearly.
His face was not as pale as his highness, and his tone was also mellow, so he should not be injured.
“Young Master Shen, Your Highness sends his subordinates to help you.” Yinsha just glanced at Chu Qingyuan and lowered his gaze.
“Well, there is something you really need to do.”
“My hairpin was left in the canal. You can send someone to find it secretly. It’s a problem.”
Yinsha shook his head.
After a brief pause, Chu Qingyuan continued, “I need a very similar hairpin just in case.”
She thought for a while and then said, “It is a hairpin made of white marble, but the head of the hairpin has an iris pattern. “
Her hairpins are mostly the same, the only difference is the iris pattern.
Yinsha turned her eyes and nodded, “I remember it. “
He has never seen the pattern of “Iris”, but his highness should know it.
“Okay, then you go first. “Yinsha quietly left Cui’an Palace.
Chu Qingyuan pulled off the thin belt around her waist, fixed her hair, and walked towards the main hall.
Gu Yunjie, who sent Empress Dowager Gu to the back of the main hall, did not find Chu Qingyuan in the crowd.
Worried that something happened to her, he left the main hall to look for her with Empress Dowager Gu’s dissatisfied eyes.
He did not find her trace when Gu Yunjie came to Cining Palace.
He frowned slightly, his eyes glanced around, and was very worried.
“What are you doing? “Looking at the guards who were searching, Gu Yunjie felt uneasy.
The guard leader naturally knew the person who was asking about it.
“Reported to Mr. Gu, his subordinates found that there were thieves in the palace and were searching. “
After hearing this answer, Gu Yunjie’s uneasiness became stronger and stronger. “Today is the birthday of the Empress Dowager. Be sure to search carefully and not let the bandits disturb the banquet. “He could only give orders like this. “Yes, my subordinates obey the order. “
Gu Yunjie didn’t see Chu Qingyuan. He thought she might have gone on another road to the main hall.
So he walked back to the main hall, hoping that he could meet her.
When he was walking on the road, Yu Guang was attracted by a touch of white.
He approached and found a hairpin hanging on the grass and trees in the canal.
He stretched out his hand and held the hairpin. It was made of white marble, and the pattern of the hairpin’s head made him a little familiar.
If Chu Qingyuan was present, she would definitely know that the hairpin was the one she had accidentally left in the canal.
Gu Yunjie’s fingertips gently stroked the pattern on the hairpin, and a trace of complex emotions flashed in his eyes.
He remembered that he had only seen this pattern on one person.
“How could she be here? “Gu Yunjie whispered to himself, with a little doubt and worry in his tone.
Gu Yunjie stood by the canal for a moment, but finally turned around and left.
He held the hairpin tightly, with a lot of thoughts in his heart. He was originally worried about the safety of his Qing brother, so he quietly left the main hall to find him. But he didn’t expect that his hairpin would be found on the plants and trees beside the canal.
“What the hell is she doing? “Gu Yunjie was full of doubts. He knew that Chu Qingyuan had always been cautious and would never appear in such a remote place for no reason. What’s more, her hairpin was left in the canal, which was obviously not a coincidence.
Gu Yunjie’s eyes were sunk, and a hint of doubt arose in his heart.
Chu Qingyuan finally swam near Cui’an Hall, where the canal turned a corner, and the water flow became slow.
