Suddenly, Shu E saw someone beckoning to her gently behind the Cai Lou.

Shu E couldn't see her face clearly, and in a haze, she only felt that this woman was familiar, so she walked over.

The distance between Shu'e and this woman was originally only a color building, and it was only four feet away, and she expected to be able to walk in front of her in one step.

Who knew that Shu E had just taken a few steps closer, and the woman turned around and left. Shu E was very curious, so she wanted to stop walking, but she saw that the woman turned around and looked at herself, and saw that Shu E was walking, so she turned around and walked again.

Shu E knew that something was wrong, but the woman was really leading herself, and after a little hesitation in her heart, she still followed. There are lights and candles around the garden and even on the avenue in the palace, and it can be seen that the woman is also dressed as an ordinary palace maid.

Walking out of the garden, the woman was heading south. Shu E lives in the northwest of Yujin Garden, and usually follows the trend of the Huimin River, only moving along the north side of the garden. Or a little south from the Bamboo Garden, there is the palace of the Queen Mother, Shu E has also been there, but it is also in the north of this garden.

In the past, this garden went further south, but Shu'e never visited.

I heard that the south side of the garden is the school field where the emperor inspects the riding and archery, and every year when the hunting season comes, the emperor will meet the children of the princes and nobles and the military attachés to compete in the Yujin Garden.

Shu E hesitated in her heart, and her steps slowed down. When the palace maid didn't walk much, she would turn around to look at Shu E, and when she saw that Shu E was walking slowly, she would slow down and wait. Shu E couldn't remember the identity of this woman, and she couldn't guess her origin, but this palace maid had seen it in the palace, but there was no suspicion. Shu E looked back at Cailou, and the laughter still sounded a little distant. After a slight pause, he simply slowed down and followed.

At first, Shu E thought that the woman was going all the way south, but after walking for a while, she turned to the west. At this point, Shu E didn't know the road at all, and the palace lights in this area were much sparser than around the garden, although there were also palace houses, Shu E couldn't see clearly.

Shu E's heart gradually began to be afraid, just now there was a lively scene, she only felt indescribably lonely and lonely, at the moment there was no sound around quietly, but she couldn't help but be afraid. Although he tried his best not to think about it, the words he heard from the mouth of the seven strings about the ghost and the stand-in sounded clearly in his ears. Shu E's heart moved, isn't it Huifeng? However, this woman's figure and demeanor are obviously not Huifeng.

When she learned the news of Huifeng's death, Shu E's heart was full of regret and remorse, and she wanted to pay for it with her own life. In fact, she was willing to die because she was afraid and desperate for the endless sinister struggles in the palace. However, at this moment, in such a terrible situation, Shu E couldn't help but be afraid.

Shu E was thinking to herself, when the palace maid suddenly stopped and lit the palace lamp in her hand. Only then did Shu E remember that she had put her palace lamp aside, and when she followed the woman, she didn't take it. Remembering that if this woman was a ghost, what was the use of the lamp, he tried to comfort himself with his thoughts, but he did not stop at his feet. Chased all the way to the present, it is always time to see what comes out.

However, she didn't go far to light the palace lantern, and Shu E saw the light of the candle in front of her turn to the wall, and the candlelight disappeared.

Yes, it is hidden. It's not the feeling of people turning a corner, because you can still see some candlelight after turning a corner, but the candlelight in front of you is hidden. Because there was a candlelight on the wall not far in front of Shu E.

The heart is slightly settled, and he secretly laughs at his suspicions. If there are lamps and candles, there must be people. Shu E took a heavy step.

Sure enough, when I got closer, a voice came from behind the wall.

Who is it.

Dodged and retreated, but when she heard this voice at this moment, Shu E couldn't help but rejoice: "Your Majesty." ”

Someone turned around with a lamp, but stretched out his hand to cover the light, for fear of shining into the human eye. Quanfu's voice whispered, "Who's here?" ”

Shu E could already see clearly through this light, and the man in front of her was indeed the emperor.

The emperor took over the palace lamp from Quanfu, and Quanfu understood and retreated. The emperor lowered the palace lamp and looked at the woman in front of him.

The pale green rain silk brocade trimmed white silk gown, covered with a green green Hangzhou thick long skirt, white clothes and green skirts, where the footsteps moved, the verdant cold arrow bamboo on the placket of the gown loomed.

The candlelight was shining, and the woman's body seemed to glow with a faint halo. It's like you've just stepped down from the sky.

The emperor called softly: "Shu'e." ”

Although Shu E has countless doubts in her heart, she can't help but feel fortunate to be able to meet someone at this time, and she is such a tall, benevolent and gentle person.

Such a sudden encounter, such an unreasonable moment, both of them were in a trance and a little shocked. However, I met such a person, unexpectedly, so hasty, so direct, but it made people feel like a dream.

Shu E was stunned for a moment, lifted her skirt and walked slowly to the emperor, saluted, and said, "The emperor is blessed." ”

The emperor looked behind Shu E, but no one followed, and asked, "At this time, why did you get here alone?" ”

As soon as the emperor said this, Shu E knew that the emperor didn't see the palace maid either. However, when a person disappeared like this, Shu E couldn't help but be curious: "Your Majesty...... Who can you see who doesn't? ”

The emperor smiled and said: "I heard the footsteps and came to take a look, but I didn't expect it to be you." Then he asked, "Is there anyone else with you?" ”

"I came with a person, and I came here, but I was gone." Shu E said.

"Is it a palace maid?" The emperor asked.

Shu E nodded and said, "I only feel familiar, but I can't see clearly." ”

The emperor nodded and said, "I'll let Quanfu check it out immediately." ”

Shu E hurriedly said: "The emperor only needs to let the whole father-in-law pay attention, and no one intends to harm the emperor." The man who had led me here seemed to have no ill intent. ”

The emperor had a happy look on his face, but he just nodded silently.

Shu E saluted: "I want to ...... I want to go back, and I ask the emperor to give me a lamp. ”

The emperor looked up at the starry sky and said with a smile: "If you go back at this moment, you won't be able to catch up with the worship, right?" ”

Shu E smiled and said: "The queen has already led everyone to worship the Weaver Girl, and at this moment I think she is testing her skills." At this moment, I still return to the Bamboo Garden. ”

The emperor's eyes fell on the embroidered handkerchief in Shu E's hand, and he smiled: "Is this going to be placed on the Qiqiao Tower?" ”

Shu E nodded.

By the candlelight, Shu E's wrists and hands, which were emaciated by illness, were lined with boxy pale cyan handkerchiefs, which became more and more light and fair.

The emperor smiled softly at Shu E and slowly stretched out his hand.
