After Xiao Chu finished speaking, Jing Lan had already said unhappily: "So there are too many rules in the Imperial City, and this is not allowed." ”

"Fortunately, I won't stay for a few days, and I will be able to go back to Shikun Mountain soon."

She stopped her words, and said with a happy expression on her face: "You guys walk slowly, I want to go and see first." ”

The wind-like figure flashed quickly, and disappeared into the bend in a few steps.

Xiao Chu coughed lowly, causing my eyes to roll to his face.

Although he was very well disguised, I couldn't really see his complexion at the moment, and I was still a little more worried for no reason.

"Are your old injuries okay these days?" I lowered my eyelashes and walked slowly beside him, unable to help but ask.

Xiao Chu glanced sideways at me, with a smile at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and deliberately said in a melancholy tone: "It's okay to be injured for a while, but I think that parting is imminent, and I often can't sleep at night." ”

It was rare for him to confess like this, and my heart moved, and I raised my eyes to look at him and said calmly: "You can count sheep." ”

After that, I stopped looking at him and walked in front of him first.

He was stunned, a smile escaping from the corner of his mouth, and followed my footsteps.

Walking in the forest one after the other, rounding a bend, it was almost out of the woods.

Xiao Chu behind me suddenly called me and said, "Xiao Ling'er." ”

"Hmm," I said, turning to look at him.

The next second, he raised his hand and shackled me firmly in his arms.

There is a big tree right behind me, and this forest is not inaccessible.

The overwhelming aroma overwhelmed my whole body and clung to his chest. His heartbeat could be heard.

After a few struggles, I gave up.

Don't think about the feast that is coming. I don't think about parting in a few days, and I forget about whether there will be another person in the forest, I just want to grasp the short time and accept such a kiss wholeheartedly.

His hand rubbed softly against my fingers, and the moment his soft lips came up. Both of their bodies trembled, and then he traced them tenderly and continuously, little by little, he kissed patiently and delicately.

Breath intertwined, first tossing and turning between lips, then slowly invading

By the time I ended the kiss, which seemed to have no end, my palms were sweaty and my face flushed.

Xiao Chu sighed. Leaned over and whispered unbearably in my ear: "Xiao Ling'er, I'll only give you half a year, and then I'm not allowed to leave." ”

"Not allowed"

The matter of arranging the seats of the Tai Hospital was left to Dr. Xin to prepare, and near the Zihuan Palace, Xiao Chu and I deliberately opened a short distance in order to avoid suspicion.

I mingled in the midst of a group of doctors who were smiling and discussing the candidates for the palace, and followed silently, listening to their opinions along the way.

Xiao Chu was a little behind. Walking slowly alone.

Master Chen and Dr. Xin arrived earlier than our group, and after lunch, the two of them had already come to Zihuan Palace.

I followed the crowd to the palace gate. The first time I saw the appearance of the main gate of Zihuan Palace.

In the past, in addition to going to the wrong door, it was a dark road, this opportunity was really rare, and I looked curiously at the gorgeous main gate of Zihuan Palace.

There were still a lot of people at the door to greet them, and it seemed that in addition to the palace maids and attendants in the Zihuan Palace, there were also a lot of people from the Qingsi Palace.

It's magical. It's easy for me to see the difference between the two groups.

Although Zihuan Palace bears the name of Xiao Ning, he is strict, and most of the people under him are cautious, and they can even see a little restraint when they stand at the gate of the palace, as if this is not their territory.

On the contrary, the palace maids and attendants from Qingsi Hall looked much more high-profile than the people in Zihuan Palace, and even greeted them loudly.

I saw it unknowingly, and thought that the identities of the two groups of people were exactly the opposite.

I searched the crowd a few times, and unexpectedly saw my aunt who was the housekeeper who scolded me that day, and I didn't expect that she had been transferred to supervise order at the door.

How did you bump into her?

When I passed by her, I deliberately lowered my head and walked quickly, dressed differently, and covered up my face, but I still couldn't resist my weak heart, for fear that she would see something wrong.

Fortunately, as an inconspicuous little disciple of the Tai Hospital, there are really only a limited number of people who notice me.

I followed the large army into the palace gate without any danger, and followed the direction pointed out by the chamberlain, all the way to the location of this banquet, the Water Pavilion of Zihuan Palace.

Ribbon knotted trees, palace lamps dotted among them, the water pavilion of Zihuan Palace that has not yet fallen at night is newly decorated, and there are two rows of seats, I roughly counted, adding up to about dozens of tables.

Master Chen was talking to Dr. Xin under a magnolia tree, greeting people walking by from time to time, and occasionally laughing.

He rolled his eyes and saw me in the crowd, his eyes lit up, he showed a smile, and immediately left Dr. Xin and walked towards me.

Master Chen took me to the table that Dr. Xin arranged for us, and said to me in a low voice: "Xiaolin, there are just flowers blocking here, but it does not affect the movement in the field, Lao Xin has arranged it well." ”

I nodded.

Master Chen told me: "Xiaolin, if the situation changes, you can leave earlier, so as not to cause trouble." ”

"Master," I looked back at him, "since I came, there is no way to leave early, otherwise it would be a shame to raise some face." "Don't worry, I won't speak, and I'll do what I do."

Master Chen bowed his head and said, "I'll go and talk to Lao Xin for a few more words, and I'll come over later." ”

He returned along the same path, and I carefully looked at the seats in the field, and sure enough, Jing Lan and Xiao Chu's seats were extremely high.

Next to them were several other alien doctors.

My heart tightened, is this to confirm the rumors in the palace? It is said that the target of tonight's gun is a doctor of different races, but Jing Lan is the most ostentatious one among them.

I watched worriedly as Jing Lan sat there full of interest.

Flashing the familiar back in front of him, Xiao Chu walked over calmly, wandered around a few tables, and then sat down beside Jing Lan.

He deliberately adjusted his position, so that half of his figure was hidden behind Jing Lan.

The moment he sat down, his gaze turned to my direction, looking at me from afar, he made a soothing gesture and smiled at me.

That smile almost made me lose my mind, and for a moment even the air became gentle and gentle, and the qiē around me no longer mattered.

After a few seconds of immersion, I was relieved and reminded myself that the feast had not yet begun, so don't mess with myself.

What's more, I also got Xiao Ning's promise, which is the biggest reassurance tonight.

After the mood calmed down, I began to look at the doctors who were entering the hospital one after another.

As they calculated in their hearts, it was easy to detect the state of mind of this group of people at the moment from their demeanor and expressions.

Those who want to stay in the palace and earn a good future have a warm light in their eyes.

In their opinion, tonight is the best opportunity to meet the "Four Princes" who are in real power and the princess who also has the same noble status.

People who are thinking about life outside the palace and thinking about leaving the palace tend to be much calmer.

Such a person can see that he regards this banquet in Zihuan Palace as an ordinary practice meal, which is similar to the state of the Tai Hospital on weekdays.

My gaze lingered on the crowd around me, occasionally sweeping over the table where Xiao Chu was sitting, he whispered a word or two to Jing Lan, he silently drank the tea on the table, and he also looked at the crowd around him like me.

Time passed, but the host of the banquet that had been waiting and expecting did not show up.

The princess of Qingsi Palace, Xiao Ning of Zihuan Palace, and someone in the crowd began to whisper.

A few words of discussion floated in my ears from time to time, and when I glanced at the empty seat from a distance, I felt a sigh in my heart, could it be that I didn't know what was going on on Xiao Ning's side.

Thinking of the treatment that Mr. Ge did for him, I frowned, and my heart sank for a moment.

The hand holding the teacup tightened, and under the instruction of the housekeeper's aunt, the palace maids standing around quickly added some fresh fruits, which eased the waiting atmosphere a little.

The sky was getting dark, and the water in the Taiye Pool was sparkling and rippling by the wind, and I felt that the temperature was much cooler than during the day, but the banquet was still placed by the water.

Thinking back to when Xiao Chu hugged me just now, the clothes on my body were all dark, I had the texture of touching the clothes, not too thin, and my heart moved freely, I glanced at the place where he was sitting again, and saw Jing Lan's concerned expression.

At this moment, Xiao Chu turned his back to me, and under the reflection of the palace lamp, a trace of confusion flashed in my eyes.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for me to see Jing Lan's lips clearly, guessing that she was asking him, Xiao Chu shook his head, and I who had been looking at him breathed a sigh of relief.

I was not the only one who noticed the weather, and I was not the only one who cared about him.

I can't say whether I'm happy or sad, it's not me by his side.

However, with Jing Lan here, I have been waiting in Shikuo Mountain for about half a year, so I don't have to worry too much.

What if the worst happens?

My eyes were cold, my heart was broken, the sourness came up, and I tried my best to suppress it, just don't think about it at the moment!

The sky finally darkened completely, and the embellished palace lamps were lit up one after another, illuminating the entire Zihuan Palace Water Pavilion brightly, accompanied by the beautiful scenery, echoing the bright moon in the dark blue sky.

The master of Qingsi Hall finally belatedly appeared, and the clothes embellished with gold silk were as bright as clouds, pearls and emerald Luoqi, swaying, dazzling and not to be looked at directly.

The doctors of the Tai Hospital who attended the banquet tonight were all shocked by her, and even I, who had seen her a few times, couldn't take their eyes off her.

Putting aside her personality and her previous deeds of making trouble in Zihuan Palace, in all fairness, this is definitely a rare beauty, and of course decoration is also indispensable.

She didn't seem to be in a very good mood, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little forced.

From afar, I looked at her for a moment, my eyes focused on the empty seat beside her.

It's already so late, why hasn't Xiao Ning, the real owner of Zihuan Palace, come yet?!
