Chapter 151: Midnight
Crawling around on the bed in September, today she seems to be full of energy, the night is already deep, except for the gentle footsteps of the palace people on duty, there is no sound, Ruan Xian sits on the edge of the bed and patiently coaxes the little guy to sleep.

The little guy began to yawn and drowsy on weekdays, and now it's time, this little ancestor is playing chicken blood tonight?
Time passed minute by minute, Ruan Xian pretended to be troubled in her heart, she was uneasy, she patted Xiao Jiu's back patiently, and coaxed softly in her mouth, "Little baby, sleep, children have to sleep obediently to grow taller~"
Xiao Jiu rolled on the bed, and her big black and white eyes blinked to indicate her answer.
A few black lines appeared on Ruan Xian's head, and she continued to catch the little guy, and made persistent efforts with extreme patience and gentleness, but this little thing was going to be a demon today, and she was still in good spirits after coaxing for a long time, which made Ruan Xian begin to wonder if it was not appropriate to go out today, otherwise how could it be so unpleasant?
The queen ignored her silently for so many days, but summoned her over today, the little guy sleeps most peacefully on weekdays, and today he is as unsafe as a flea, what a hell.
"Ma'am?" Or hearing the movement inside, the palace maid quietly made a puzzled voice at the door, "Miss hasn't slept today?" Do you need slaves to come in and help? ”
It is the palace maid who takes care of the little one these days.
Ruan Xian was slightly silent, and raised her voice, "It's nothing." The little guy may have slept a lot during the day, but now she is in good spirits, it's okay, you go and rest, she will sleep when she is tired of playing later. ”
The palace maid got an answer, answered softly, and left.
house.
Ruan Xian looked helplessly at the little guy with her eyes open on the bed, reached out and gently tapped her delicate little nose, "You, you're really not good today, you don't sleep so late~"
Xiao Jiu looked innocent, and her big watery eyes blinked.
Ruan Xian sighed, so she had to continue to coax helplessly, the night was getting thicker and thicker, and when there was still half an hour before midnight, the little guy finally fell asleep with a yawn and rubbing his mouth. Ruan Xian had the opportunity to open the wardrobe.
The queen arranged it very well, the room was full of new clothes, and the jewelry box was also full. Ruan Xian chose a dress with the darkest color to change into, took out the small package given by He'er last night, sat in front of the mirror and opened the package, the package was a small jade box, Ruan Xian opened the jade box, and in the jade box was a mask-like thing, soaked in a transparent potion.
Ruan Xian's mind lit up, this, this is the legendary mask, right?
She reached out and touched it, it was soft, I don't know what material it was made of, the color and touch were very similar to human skin, but there was still a slight difference under a closer look. The hour was tense, Ruan Xian twisted up this thin mask and spread it on her face carefully, the cold touch wrapped her face, exactly the same as the feeling of the mask.
After a while, an ordinary face appeared in the mirror, ordinary eyebrows and eyes, and dark yellow skin, which were a little blurred under the light of the oil lamp, but there was no longer Ruan Xian's own temperament and look, only those eyes were frighteningly bright.
Three quarters of the hour.
Ruan Xian nervously hugged Xiao Jiu, sat on the bed and waited tightly, the waiting process was long and quiet, and the apprehension and nervousness in Ruan Xian's heart became more intense as time passed. Three minutes passed, and there was no sound outside, and no one came.
A little doubt rose in her heart, but she pressed her temper again and continued to wait.
After another quarter of an hour, there was still no movement, and she began to wonder if the crane would not come. Or is it that the matter has been revealed? Or was the crane caught?
The doubts in Ruan Xian's heart gradually turned into panic, she began to become a little restless, and she forced herself to calm down slightly when she looked at Xiao Jiu's sleeping face in her arms. Half an hour passed, Ruan Xian's face was completely cold, and she calmed down, she put September back on the bed, returned to the dresser without saying a word, and reached out to remove the mask on her face.
That's when it happened.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
Three extremely low voices sounded softly at the door, Ruan Xian's heart suddenly mentioned, and her brainstrings tightened, "Who?" ”
"Madame, it's me." A familiar voice sounded softly.
Ruan Xian let out a big sigh, she couldn't tell whether she was loosening a stone or being more nervous, and without thinking about it, she quickly picked up Jiujiu and opened the door gently. Outside the door, He'er was still hiding in the pitch-black cloak, and when she opened the door, she saw Ruan Xian with an unfamiliar face and her face remained unchanged, and she said hurriedly, "Madam, the slave doesn't have time to explain, you follow the slave first." ”
Ruan Xian nodded, went out with September in her arms, and quietly closed the door with her backhand, quietly following behind He'er.
Then I saw He'er take her silently around the back of the courtyard, and walked to the extremely tall wall, and the sight around was extremely dim, if it weren't for the moonlight in the sky, she would almost be out of sight, Ruan Xian's heartbeat was pounding, and it was frighteningly clear in her ears.
I saw the crane walk under the wall, and there was a dense bush of wood hibiscus planted under the wall, and he stretched out his hand to pull out the flowers, and under the moonlight, there was a small hole behind the wood hibiscus bush that could be crossed by a person.
Ruan Xian suddenly woke up to the so-called cats have cat holes and dogs have dog holes, this will not be ...... It's a dog hole, right?
Now is not the time to ask, let alone to calculate, Ruan Xian didn't allow Ruan Xian to think too much, just watched the crane flexibly drill through the small hole, and then stretched out his hands and whispered, "Madam, give me Miss." ”
Ruan Xian put September into his hand, and then took a deep breath, bent down and got into the hole, the teacher taught us to be able to bend and stretch, and don't care about those details in special situations.
Behind the wall was a vine, and I don't know where it was through a high wall, and there was silence all around, except for the moonlight and the occasional flickering palace lamp in the distance.
Ruan Xian silently followed the crane through the darkness with September in her arms, and the crane took her to walk in some dark alleys and corners, and after walking for a long time, she came to a high wall. When the crane opened the vines next to the wall, and Ruan Xian saw the small hole in the wall again, this time she had accepted this unusual secret passage very calmly.
Passing through the wall, a clump of bamboo appeared in front of him, and when he came out of the bamboo forest, He'er seemed to be greatly relieved, and his voice was a little happy, "Madam, let's go to the East Palace." ”
Ruan Xian was also greatly relieved in her heart, but she still didn't dare to be careless, as long as she was still in the palace, she couldn't rest assured, she could only race against time now, once it was dawn, her disappearance would definitely be discovered.
The emperor has not yet appointed a crown prince, and there is no master in the East Palace. However, the East Palace is the residence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince over the years, and it is naturally an important place, and there are many guards and palace maids who are responsible for guarding and maintaining the East Palace.
The surroundings were pitch black and silent, the eunuchs and palace maids guarding the East Palace were asleep at this time, He'er held a candle in his hand, and took Ruan Xian to the depths of the hall, entering the inner hall, and finally, the light of the candle illuminated a spacious, delicate and luxurious bed in the inner hall.
Ruan Xian's mind brought up a delicate pale face, which was full of motherly tenderness and pleading, and she looked down at the sleeping September in her arms, and sighed silently.
After He'er took Ruan Xian around to the big bed, he saw that he pressed somewhere on the bed, and an incomparably dark and deep hole suddenly appeared, and a staircase went down the hole. He'er lit a lantern, handed it to Ruan Xian, and said respectfully and solemnly, "Madam, the slave will send you here." The master has arranged everything, and the master's people will wait at the exit of the tunnel, and you and the young lady will be delivered to the master safe and sound. Madame, have a safe journey. ”
