Suddenly, footsteps were heard not far ahead.

Jiang Yuetang and Mei Xiang subconsciously flashed towards the palace on the side, covering themselves with the palace walls and trees, and then cautiously poked their heads out to look.

Not far from them, Xiao Diyuan and several officials were hurrying by.

Xiao Diyuan walked in front, followed by Ding Cong, and the five behind were all middle-aged and elderly people dressed as officials. Xiao Diyuan's expression was as usual today, and he couldn't see any psychological fluctuations. The five officials who followed him were dressed as cautious.

Jiang Yuetang stared at Xiao Diyuan tightly.

She hadn't seen him for three days, and she had been thinking about him all the time during those three days.

Now that I see him, although it is only a hurried side, it also comforts her lovesickness to some extent.

They kept walking towards the gate of the palace, not knowing where they were going.

Xiao Diyuan didn't look any more haggard than before.

Jiang Yuetang was relieved a lot.

The figures of Xiao Diyuan and his party completely disappeared outside the palace gate, and Jiang Yuetang's eyes were still staring in that direction.

Mei Xiang sneered and said, "You have a chance to show him, just go to that intersection or pretend to fall and scream." ”

Jiang Yuetang glared at her and said, "Do your best." ”

Although it was just a quick glance, it was finally seen, so Jiang Yuetang finally slept soundly that night.

On the fourth day after the game, Jin Ding came to ask Jiang Yuetang if he wanted to go to Dakunshan to soak in hot springs.

"I heard that the hot spring is very good, it can cure diseases, and it is warm all year round, and you can cook eggs slowly when you put them in, do you want to come too?" Jin Ding warmly invited.

He always felt that Jiang Yuetang was too quiet.

As soon as I heard that I was going to take a hot spring, Jiang Yuetang waved her hand again and again, and said, "I feel a little dizzy today, but I still don't go, and when you come back tonight, let's go to the West Street barbecue together." ”

Jin Ding couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but since she didn't want to go, he couldn't force it, so he had to go with the rest of the team.

Jiang Yuetang sat in the middle of the courtyard basking in the sun.

It's late autumn, and the sun is warm but cool, and the climate feels exceptionally refreshing and peaceful.

There was a small road outside, and not long after, several palace maids passed slowly by the path, and Jiang Yuetang heard them discussing in a whisper how Xiao Hong blamed Xiao Diyuan in the past few days.

"Yesterday morning, I had already sent two fires to the Second Highness, and I called the Second Highness again this morning, and scolded the Second Highness for no reason. "The palace maid said.

Palace maid B hurriedly stretched out her hand to make a 'shhh' movement, and said nervously: "Don't talk about this kind of thing, save it from reaching Your Majesty one day." ”

The palace maid Jia also looked around nervously, and then said: "I also told you, you didn't see that scene, Your Majesty seems to want to eat the Second Highness." ”

Palace maid C finally couldn't help but say: "Isn't it just that I lost a session? ”

The three of them walked as they talked, and after a while they walked away.

Jiang Yuetang couldn't help but feel anxious when she heard this.

In this way, Xiao Hong has been blaming Xiao Diyuan for the past few days.

Jiang Yuetang got up upset and went to the house.

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Mei Xiang hurriedly walked over and asked, "What's wrong with the master?"

Shouldn't Zhaoguo be happy if he won? However, Jiang Yuetang seems to be preoccupied these days.

Although Mei Xiang knew that Jiang Yuetang was worried about Xiao Diyuan, she didn't expect her to be worried about this.

"It's nothing," Jiang Yuetang said, reaching out to pour herself a cup of tea, and after drinking it dry, she said, "I want to go to the Imperial Garden for a walk, you can come too." ”

Mei Xiang hurriedly said: "Of course the slave must follow the master. ”

So the two went out.

Entering the Imperial Garden, Jiang Yuetang's footsteps subconsciously went straight to the direction of the big banyan tree.

Mei Xiang hesitated, but finally did not follow, but stopped about ten feet away from the big banyan tree and sat on the long wooden bench.

Here, if Jiang Yuetang looks for her, she just needs to scream, and she can hear it.

The sunlight shone down from the branches and leaves of the big banyan tree, and the ground was mottled, but the branches and leaves of the big banyan tree were so green, and the branches were so full of life, and people couldn't help but touch their hearts.

Jiang Yuetang reached out to touch the words on the trunk of the tree, and soon found that the word "court" had been eliminated.

She immediately understood—he was protecting her in every possible way.

Judging from the current situation, it is indeed good to conceal this relationship.

She stopped her hand on the word "Shanzheng", stroked it carefully, and suddenly her eyes turned red.

He and her future did not know how many difficulties and obstacles there would be, and her heart sank when she thought that he was already suffering all kinds of pain, and she could not help.

However, it doesn't matter, he won't compromise with fate, and neither will she.

However, even though she knew that each other would never give up, she still couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

She reached out and hugged the trunk of the tree and cried silently.

Before coming to participate in the 'Ninety-Five Tournament', she wanted to win this game for Zhaoguo, and now she has won, but she did not taste much good from this victory, but added a lot of indescribable sorrow.

She was worried about him, which was the main reason, but she had to hide this worry carefully, and she couldn't even reveal it in front of anyone.

He was suffering, and she felt like she was suffering, too.

She pressed her face against the trunk of the tree, letting her tears wet the mottled bark.

After some time, a warm hand gently pressed on her left shoulder and pulled her back.

She turned around in a little panic and bumped into Xiao Diyuan's affectionate and gentle eyes, and her whole heart suddenly came to life, and she threw herself into his arms.

He smiled and hugged her tightly, pressing his head against her neck as usual, while the other gently patted her on the back.

"Why are you here?" she asked, her voice unconcealed with delight.

"I guess you're here, and you're here. He said, kissing her on the neck.

The touch/feeling of crispy/crispy/numb/numb/numb made her blush suddenly, and she carefully reached out and clasped his neck.

"I wanted to bear with it and wait until you left to meet you, but I couldn......'t help it," he said, holding her chin in his hand and staring at her intently.

"I understand, I want to see you too, so I'm here," she said. ”

He smiled and imprinted a deep kiss between her eyebrows, then hugged her little waist and said, "I'll take you somewhere." ”

"Where?" she asked quietly.

He pointed to a small tower not far ahead, and said, "That's the observation tower, and you can see the whole palace from there." Then he said: "It's very windy up there, but when you stand there, you forget all your troubles." ”

Jiang Yuetang looked at it and found that it was a small white tower fifty or sixty meters high, standing tall like a thin bud growing from the earth.
