When I returned home, it was already dusk. The carriage went to the back door as usual, and Xiao Wu got out of the car and knocked on the door, but no one answered the door after knocking for a long time.

"Princess, no one."

"It's okay, just wait a minute." Ning Yan leaned on the cushion and read a book with fish eyes.

Xiao Wu jumped back into the car and was puzzled: "Princess, you are a princess of a country, why do you never go to the front door?" ”

Ning Yan thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. In order to avoid trouble, she always goes out through the back door. Over time, it became a habit, as if the small door with vermilion paint in this deep alley was the main entrance.

Just as he was about to speak, the door creaked open from the inside.

"The princess is back?"

"Ding Bo, there's nothing going on in the house." Xiao Wu helped Ning Yan get out of the carriage.

Ding Bo smiled: "Ding Bo is getting old and old, and he can't hear it." However, someone came to the palace in Shenshi, saying that the emperor had rewarded the princess with something and asked Qingluan to go into the palace to get it. ”

"Rewarding things? Didn't they all send them? Why do you have to get it? Ning Yan was a little puzzled.

Ding Bo shook his head: "I don't know about this old slave, but Duan's father-in-law came in person, and he specified that the young girl should go." I was in a hurry, and I got into the carriage before I had time to ask in detail, maybe there was something urgent. ”

Ning Yan nodded, although the doubts in her heart were still gone, but when she thought that there should be no accident with Qingluan by her side, she calmed down a little.

At three o'clock, the door of Tianyi Water Pavilion was gently pushed open. The woman in white who was sitting by the desk and reviewing the documents did not look up, and asked casually, "Are you back?" ”

"Princess, it's an old slave."

Ning Yan looked up and saw that it was Ding Bo who had sent tea and snacks. couldn't help laughing and said, "Ding Bo, you are old, just let Xiao Wu do this." ”

"Xiao Wu, that kid can't find anyone for a long time, where can I expect him." Ding Bo put the tea on the pear blossom wooden table.

Ning Yan put down the book in her hand and walked over. After tasting a piece of peach blossom soft cake, I only felt that it was fragrant, soft and sweet. "Aunt Gu's craftsmanship is really good, Uncle Ding, you can also try it."

Ding Bo waved his hand, and a kind smile appeared on the old man's face: "Princess, you rest early, and the old slave won't bother." With that, he turned and walked towards the door.

Before he stepped out of the room, he heard the woman behind him say, "Is Qingluan back?" ”

Ding Bo said: "I haven't come back yet." ”

"Not yet?" Ning Yan's heart tightened and she stood up. Walking quickly to the window, the sky was overcast at this time, and the moonlight was covered by thick clouds, revealing an oppressive and low atmosphere.

"Ding Bo, let Xiao Wu prepare the car, I want to enter the palace." She frowned, her voice hurried but steady.

Ding Bo hurriedly went out to call Xiao Wu, Ning Yan turned his head to the void and called, "Shadow! After a few calls, the air was as quiet as death, and not even a trace of wind could be heard. At this point, she can finally be sure that the heavy rain is coming, and the wind and rain are coming.

She suddenly thought of something, got up and walked out of Tianyi Water Pavilion quickly, and bumped into Xiao Wu by the mirror lake.

"Princess...... The carriage is ready...... Where are you going? ”

"Go and wait for me at the back door, I'll be right over!" She took her dress and ran quickly towards the wing where Qingluan lived, and the night wind blew her hair in a messy bun. In the past few days, scenes have flashed in my mind. This qiē began to become abnormal when Qingluan returned to Zuiyue Tower to get the fan, but the fan was not obtained. So who did she meet in the Drunken Moon Tower? What's up? Or did you stumble upon something?

"Princess, what do you think...... The emperor is ...... Is it a good person? ”

This sentence suddenly swept through her heart, Zheng Yu ...... Good...... Does it have anything to do with Zheng Yu? My heart tightened, and the pace of my feet accelerated. In order to facilitate taking care of her daily life, Qingluan's wing room is not far from Tianyishui Pavilion. The room is small, but elegant and warm, and everything is orderly. She's been here once.

However, when the door was opened now, it was a mess. The bedding was messy, and the books on the shelves fell to the ground...... Someone seems to be rummaging for something. The uneasiness in my heart kept rising, as if it had reached a peak at this moment.

In the dead silence, there was a sudden movement behind her, and a hand reached out from behind and slammed into her mouth.

"Hmm...... Don't let it go...... Let it go......" She struggled desperately, but no matter how hard she tried, the man behind her made her unable to move. The person who came turned his back to her, but the smell on his body was inexplicably familiar.

"Are you scared?" A voice came close to her ear, speaking slowly and logically, and put her hand as she spoke. The moment she heard the voice, Ning Yan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and a thin layer of sweat had already appeared in her palms.

"Xiao Rin!" She said angrily, "You're here to block me, aren't you?" ”

"On the battlefield of hundreds of thousands of troops, I don't see the princess change color slightly, why are you afraid now?" He smiled intriguingly.

Ning Yan pushed him away and walked into the room, examining it carefully. When I walked to the bookcase, I found that although there were many things scattered on the desk, the strange thing was that underneath those things was an open book. There are also annotations and experiences made by the brush in the book.

In the midst of the mess in this room, this open book stands out. When I took out the book, I saw that it was a popular book "Agarwood Story". This book is very popular in Nanbu because many of the stories told in the book are stories such as splitting peaches and breaking sleeves, and the language is bold and explicit. There was a time when "The Story of Agarwood" was named ** in Donghe.

But Qingluan never liked to read, let alone make detailed notes in the book. But what does that mean?

Ning Yan's brows tightened, and her left hand unconsciously rubbed the side of the desk.

Suddenly, her hand stopped. There are words on the case!

"Xiao Rin!" She turned her head to the man in Xuanyi who was standing at the door, "Help me turn over this bookcase!" ”

Xiao Rin raised her eyebrows and glanced at her: "How can I say that I am also the emperor of a country, will you let me move the table for you?" ”

"Human life is at stake, hurry up!" She suddenly roared, her face pale as paper, and her eyes were red.

Xiao Rin glanced at her, and with a flick of his hand, the bookcase full of things fell back suddenly. One word, Yu!

Ning Yan gasped and stumbled a few steps, Xiao Rin hurriedly supported her trembling body like a leaf in the wind and rain. The bright moon in the sky was tightly covered by dark clouds, and only a little light could be faintly revealed.

"Are you alright?"

Ning Yan pushed his hand away and staggered out. After walking a few steps, he suddenly lifted his dress and ran wildly. The night wind cut her face mercilessly like a knife. Zheng Yu...... Zheng Yu...... The once helpless teenager finally couldn't hold back and shot at her? Did the scene she least want to see still happen?

The man behind him followed closely and grabbed her arm: "Where are you going?" ”

"You let go!" She struggled to break free and continued to run towards the door. Until, I met the man in a wheelchair by the mirror lake.
