They had probably just arrived at the imperial abode and everyone was still packing up. There was no one else at the flowerbed at this moment.

When Gu Nuo’er and Wanyin arrived, they immediately saw a palm-sized, blooming epiphyllum among the layers of flowers.

When Wanyin saw this, she frowned. “The epiphyllum that was prepared to be presented to Her Highness should be kept well and placed elsewhere. Why is it placed in the flowers just like that? Aren’t they afraid that someone will pluck

Gu Nuo’er blinked her watery eyes and looked at the epiphyllum for a moment before saying, “Elder Sister Wanyin, perhaps it’s basking in the sun.”

The child walked closer to the flowers and took a careful look.

Unexpectedly, she suddenly heard an anxious shout from the bushes at the side. “Sister, don’t go over!”

Gu Nuo’er stopped in her tracks and turned around.

A person appeared from the inconspicuous gra.s.s behind him.

“Eighth Brother, why is it you?!”

Behind the bushes stood a young boy.

His face was still a little tender, revealing a hint of a handsome outline.

He wore a green jade headgear and was in a long robe of the same color.

This was the eighth prince, Gu Zilan.

His mother, Consort MO, was the number one successor to the Mechanism Inst.i.tution

It was said that many of the mechanisms used for the defense of the border cities in Great Qi now came from Consort Mo.

Gu Zilan hurriedly waved his hand. “There’s no time to explain. Sister, hurry up and come to my side to hide!”

Gu Nuo’er didn’t understand what was going on but still walked over.

Gu Zilan carried her into the bushes and instructed Wanyin to come in as well.

The three of them squatted down together.

Gu Nuo’er was in between the two of them and she blinked her big watery eyes.

“Eighth Brother,” she asked softly, “are we playing hide-and-seek?”

Gu Zilan’s eyebrows were slender and he was born with a smiling face.

He pursed his lips and smiled. “I just discovered a sneaky eunuch. He’s been wandering around the epiphyllum for a long time. I heard him muttering that he wanted to find a shovel. He must be trying to steal the epiphyllum!

“Therefore, I made a simple mechanism at the last minute. As long as he comes, we’ll capture him and expose him!”

Gu Nuo’er applauded gently. “Eighth Brother is so amazing!”

However, Wanyin was a little worried.

n.o.ble Consort Qiao had never wanted the little princess to get close to Consort MO and the eighth prince.

It wasn’t because they weren’t good, but… because they had too many mechanisms near them.

Since Consort MO had nothing to do, she built mechanisms in the palace for practice all the time.

Even when the eighth prince was born, he was influenced by his mother’s capabilities.

It was said that back then, His Majesty brought a few consorts to the south and they encountered an a.s.sa.s.sin.

The a.s.sa.s.sin panicked and fled into Consort Mo’s residence. Just as he stepped on the gra.s.s, he was shot by countless arrows!

The n.o.ble consort felt that it was dangerous and was afraid that the little princess would step on something and hurt herself.

At the thought that Gu Nuo’er had almost gotten close to the epiphyllum just now and that the eighth prince had set up a trap nearby, Wanyin felt a lingering fear.

At this moment, the three of them saw an old eunuch walking over from the palace path not far away.

Gu Zilan was extremely excited. “It’s him!”

Gu Nuo’er blinked her watery eyes and clenched her small hands, ready to attack!

However, Wanyin frowned in confusion.

“This person seems to be the gardener in charge!”

Gu Zilan was stunned. “What?”

He was about to remind the eunuch not to walk over.

However, it was already too late.

The old eunuch had just stepped on the edge of the flowerbed when he heard a cracking sound.

Right on the heels of that, a bright long saber suddenly broke through the forest leaves from the nearest tree and swung down!
