Shibaka is smothered awake. The feeling of not breathing well and having your mouth and nose blocked was familiar, exactly like that nightmare.

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, her pale little face flushed abnormally, and a thin layer of cold sweat covered her forehead. This continued until she felt something warm and soft on her forehead, and Shiba's eyes opened open, and the hollow black inside her beautiful eyes became a swirl.

"Why......" Shika's lips were unhealthy purple, slightly cracked, and she murmured softly with a few broken syllables.

The stinging pain in her throat made her frown, but her dark eyes stared at the person in front of her without blinking, and her entire cheeks seemed to be shrouded in a layer of darkness, dark and terrifying.

The movement of the beauty holding the towel stiffened, and she wanted to say something, but Zhihua blinked her eyes, and there was a clear picture inside, "Zhi'er misses you so much." Her little face, which was flushed by the high temperature, was full of affection, and the beauty was stunned, but her hand involuntarily touched the hot little face of Zhihua. Shika rubbed affectionately, and the beauty stiffened and withdrew her hand.

Zhihua looked at him with a pair of watery eyes, and said innocently, "Brother, why are you wearing women's clothes?" The beauty did not respond, and her expression was complicated. But the little girl who had been standing obediently on the side changed her face and said, "Bold, how dare Lan Guifei's rumors be swaggering at will!" ”

She wanted to say something, but the beauty waved her hand impatiently, and her beautiful face was covered with a layer of ice, "Don't say more, you go down." The little girl showed unwillingness, but when she saw the beauty's anger, she still retreated.

――――――――――――

The complications after Zhihua fell into the water were almost healed in the day after she woke up, and her attitude towards 'Lan Guifei' was the same as at the beginning, as if the conversation when she first woke up did not exist, as if she was still ignorant and forgot about the nightmare past.

Sitting bored on the railing of the pavilion in the middle of the pool, Shiba shook her legs casually, leaning on the pillar with only a thin light veil.

Her life now is many times better than when she was picked up by Concubine Lan, except for always being stared at by some maids with bad intentions, she can be said to be in heaven now.

Zhihua seemed to inadvertently glance at the girl ring who had been standing at the entrance of the pavilion, it was the girl who gave her money to buy her, and the girl who had been looking at her with hostile and defensive eyes after she called 'brother'.

Zhihua smiled, a wisp of cunning flashed in her glass-like eyes, she jumped off the railing, her thin body swayed, and she walked to the little girl ring who was suddenly on guard with a somewhat vain step, "Geshu, where is my sister?" ”

Xiao Yahuan was stunned, as if she didn't expect Zhihua to call her name so affectionately, but she immediately tied her face and replied word by word, "The master has entered the palace, and he won't come back tonight, so the little lady can go back to the room to rest, no need to wait." ”

Zhihua pursed her lips in a small arc, "Sister is really favored..."Geshu glanced at Zhihua, and her voice was a little cold, "Probably." ”

can't go on with the topic, Zhihua has no way to do anything about the cold master of Geshu, and she can't say anything at all. She was a little irritable, and since she was rescued from drowning, her mission had not progressed at all.

originally wanted to follow 'Lan Guifei' and rub the protagonist's halo, maybe she could meet the male supporting adult, however, since the end of that not very pleasant conversation, she can't even see the face of 'Lan Guifei'. After eating a few closed doors, Zhihua knew that 'Lan Guifei', her brother, was deliberately avoiding her, and she was under house arrest in disguise!

――――――――――――

Zhihua knows that the place where she lives now is very close to the palace, and it is a mansion rewarded by the emperor, which also reflects how favored Lan Guifei is - this kind of special case of the emperor giving concubines a house outside the palace and allowing them to stay outside the palace is only one of them.

Unconsciously biting her beautiful nails, Zhihua went back to her room with a wrinkled little face, and after closing the door tightly, Zhihua took off the high-heeled shoes on her feet that clicked as soon as she walked, and secretly rolled out of the window with a pair of bare feet. Outside the window is a bush of roses, which are said to be excellent varieties imported from foreign countries.

Endured the painful cry that was almost about to be spoken, Zhihua slowly climbed out of the flowers, her face and body were scratched a lot, Zhihua frowned and pulled out the thorns that pierced Qianqian's jade feet, and after making sure that there was no one, she clumsily climbed up the camphor tree against the wall.

She had come up with this route after a long time of investigation, and found out that the back of the garden led to the outside of the house, and Zhihua specially asked for this house with the back of the garden, she knew that her brother would not refuse her, and the result was just as she expected.

No one bothered her, and of course she wouldn't stay here in peace, she had to find her male partner.

Holding her chest, Zhihua gasped heavily, this body was still too weak, just a little exercise, dizzy.

Finally calming her breath, Shika trembled and let go of the hand holding the trunk and tried to stand up. Raising her head, through the gap between the leaves, she met a pair of calm eyes, and with a startle, she stood up suddenly, lost her balance under her feet, and fell off the tree with a crooked body, falling into an embrace.

Zhihua's eyes were dizzy, and her head was dizzy, how could she feel that this embrace was somewhat familiar.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a handsome face, the most brilliant thing on that face was that it seemed to encompass a qiē eye, there was no trace of calm in it, which made Zhihua a little weak-hearted, and there was a way out of the imaginary plot of the hero saving the beauty, so she didn't pretentiously say anything to make a personal promise...... Although she thought so, Zhihua's face was still flushed with shyness, "Zhihua thanked the adult for saving her life." ”

Without getting an answer, Zhihua was left behind, and her savior just bowed slightly, leaving no expression for Zhihua, and turned to leave.

…… She seems to be disliked, but now the focus seems to be more on the identity of the person who seems to be wandering around the periphery of the house and plotting against him, right? ?

……

―――――――――

Taijing Palace.

Emperor Jingyuan lazily lay on his side on the soft couch, and the cumbersome and gorgeous auspicious clothes he wore when he was in the court had been untied and loosely draped on his body.

His expression looked careless, playing with the jade wrench on his thumb, as if he didn't see Concubine Lan who had been half-squatting to salute him.

The people in the palace retreated with great discernment, as if they were not surprised by this kind of thing.

After the last person exited the hall and closed the door, Emperor Jing Yuan lifted his eyes slightly, and glanced faintly at Concubine Lan, who was still maintaining a posture of asking for peace, "If I don't speak, does Concubine Ai plan to stay here forever?" It's rare for Concubine Ai to be so active, I'm really not used to it. ”

When he said this in a slightly ridiculous tone, Emperor Jing Yuan had already gotten down from the couch and walked to Concubine Lan's side. While one hand helped Lan Guifei up, the other also pinched Lan Guifei's waist ambiguously, he rested his head on Lan Guifei's shoulder, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes squinted slightly, and he couldn't see any love.

"The emperor praised it falsely, the minister... The concubine did not dare. "'Lan Guifei''s tone was light, and her body was a little stiff at the moment he was attached, but in the end, she still obediently did not dodge.

Emperor Jing Yuan smiled lowly, his lips as if he inadvertently touched Lan Guifei's white jade-like earrings, "Just call yourself Lan'er in front of me, anyway, we have already been honest with each other, aren't we?" ”

He didn't care about Concubine Lan's increasingly stiff body, unscrupulously took Concubine Lan's ears that were already dyed red, and sucked gently, "Lan'er should know, you can't hide your affairs from me, but as long as you don't cross the bottom line, I won't ask, who made you my closest love and person!"

There was a confused aura in the palace, and messy clothes were tangled all over the place.

The eyes of the beautiful woman with a red face and a misty gaze have been staying on the finely carved dragon head sculpture on the soft couch, and the Mu family has sacrificed too much for the revival of the previous dynasty.

Hearing the uncontrollable broken murmur that overflowed from his throat, his eyes were covered with a layer of mist, but his mind became more and more sober, and one day, he would personally get rid of this rebel who plotted against him.

……

The people guarding outside the hall looked at each other silently, tacitly ignoring the eye-popping and heart-pounding sound coming from inside, and retreated five steps back, but everyone knew that rumors about Lan Guifei's reincarnation of a fox were about to start to spread in the palace again, after all, there were no two people who could stay in the king's palace except Lan Guifei.
