Chapter 452: The Storm Rises (24)

"Hahahaha, I'm kidding. Don't be afraid. ”

The round-faced palace man smiled very happily, and when she saw Xia Qing's frightened expression, her laughter was almost close to the female officer who was leading the way in the front row.

"Are you from Cuizhuxuan, don't you even know what Pingzi looks like? Really, it's too dark this day, or is it because my face is as round as hers?"

"No, no, no...... It's too dark and I'm startled haha..... then I'll go first. ”

Xia Qing smiled awkwardly and stepped back step by step, "Sister is very gracious, I will always remember today's kindness." ”

She couldn't think of anything to say for a while, so she could only tell her her thanks.

"Let's go. ”

The round-faced palace maid waved her hand, and the smile on her lips did not decrease, "Good luck." ”

……….

Following the road when he first came, Xia Qing walked in the dark.

The lantern in her hand had already been returned to them at the team, and now she could only rely on the occasional moonlight, step by step. Although she had just walked out of Shaohua Palace not far away, she was struggling to walk on the dark road alone.

The sound of the wind along the way made her tremble. It was as if someone had been staring at her. But every time she turned around, there was nothing behind her.

It seemed to be her delusion, and it seemed like there was really a pair of eyes secretly watching her.

"Someone...... Is it?"

Xia Qing really couldn't bear this kind of chilling and creepy feeling in the back. If you want to kill her, she is not afraid of anything, just afraid of this feeling of staring at her silently in the shadows.

This unknown fear made her really uncomfortable.

Obviously, there will be no response. There was no sound behind him except the bubbling wind. The Night Patrol had already gone far, and it was even more unwise for her to chase after it now, so it was better to go down this dark road to the end.

"I'll tell you. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid of you...... Don't think about harming me, I'm good at martial arts...... Don't look at me like this, I have a lot of internal strength, you'd better not mess around........"

Xia Qing didn't know if she was talking to herself or if there was really someone behind her listening to what she said. But she only knew that she would feel much more at ease when she said this, and this road would not be so terrible.

I don't know if that sentence just now had an effect, the eerie feeling behind her suddenly disappeared, and she looked a little lonely walking on the road alone, but it was not so terrifying.

Xia Qing walked behind a wall and quietly observed the gate of Shaohua Palace. The two guards were still standing there, motionless, watching the doorway.

It seemed that it would not be easy for her to get in. It's definitely not easy to get in alone.

She suddenly regretted it, why did she give the big gold to the female officer just now, anyway, she didn't find anything when she went in. I almost couldn't get out.

"How do you get in.........

Her hand unconsciously buckled the wall, and her mouth muttered, "If you want to fly like this, you may not be able to fly in......."

Xia Qing bit his mouth, he really couldn't think of a way to break through this first line of defense. In fact, even if you break through this line of defense, the second line of defense is the most difficult, and there are several palace people, but none of them are easy to mess with, they don't eat soft and hard, and they are clearly stubborn to the end.

Behind him, that eerie feeling followed again, and Xia Qing was so frightened that he turned his head sharply again, "Hmm......."

She turned her head, and her mouth was covered.

A big hand was on her mouth, with a faint scent of grass, Xia Qing frowned, feeling that this smell was very familiar, as if she had smelled it somewhere.

"I said you, how dare you be so bold and dare to come here alone. ”

"Mmmm......mmmm

Xia Qing's eyes widened, in the night, the appearance of the person in front of her was a little blurry, but it must be someone she knew.

"Shouldn't you have been out of the palace already? Who brought you here?"

This time, Xia Qing could be considered to have heard clearly who the owner of this voice was.

"Hundred.......... of time"

She was covered by him, so she had to bite her tongue with her teeth when she spoke, and it hurt so much that she grinned. Bai Youshi finally noticed Xia Qing's expression, and let go of her mouth with a sullen smile.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid you'll shout ........"

"Am I that stupid!"

When Xia Qing glared at Bai You, he turned his head to look at the two guards outside the Shaohua Palace,

"Do I look like someone who would do such a stupid thing at this time?"

"Yes, yes, you're smart. ”

Bai Youshi seemed to be in a good mood, compared to the afternoon, he was like a different person.

"Why are you back! Aren't you kicked out of the palace?"

Xia Qing finally thought of the point. In the afternoon, this guy who had managed to save his life had just been kicked out of the palace and would never be allowed to enter the palace.

"It's not easy to get in, wouldn't it be nice not to go through the main gate........"

Bai Youshi's face was full of nature when he said this, as if it was normal to enter the palace and use this method.

Xia Qing couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, she was more relieved than shocked by Bai Yushi's sudden entry into the palace.

She was worried about him.

Whatever the part, she was worried about him.

Worried about him and Cheng Si, worried about whether they would really not be able to turn over because of today's events. Too many people have died in political struggles, including Cheng Si's brothers, and they all died in these intrigues.

Although she is only a small person who helps them spread the word, she also knows very well that their nature is not bad, and it is only helpless to do so now.

"It's good, though..... you don't have anything to do, it's really good......."

Xia Qing pursed her lips and tried to hold back the tears that were rolling in her eyes.

Now, she only needs to worry about Cheng Si in the prison.

"What can I do? After all, it's the prime minister's son, it's the child of his companion, and he won't touch me at all. ”

Bai Youshi spread his hands, very accustomed to it, "I can also say that I grew up with them, he knows better than anyone what I have to do with Cheng Si, today he is just acting for the prime minister, if he owes him a favor, he will not dare to rebel in the future....... Cheng Qing is full of scheming, and ordinary people really can't play him." ”

Xia Qing didn't know what to say, so she could only stand there in silence.

She doesn't understand the affairs of the court, and she doesn't really understand the grievances and grievances between this group of people. All she knew was that the person she wanted to help now had been caught by someone else, and she had to find a way to help them survive.

"Anyway, it's best if you don't have anything..... but do you know how Cheng Si is in prison........?

Xia Qing didn't dare to say her doubts, she was worried that it would come true.

"I don't know what happened to him, but don't worry, it's more than enough for him to protect himself. What's more, this game is not necessarily lost........"
