The next day, when the sky was foggy, a drizzle fell on the lotus pond in the distance, the ripples were light, the water mist was hazy, the carp swam among the pools, the floating ears shook slightly, the wooden door of the west wing room was gently pushed open, and Shen Shuzhao walked out.

She stood by the door, holding up a plain umbrella under the gray clouds.

The umbrella was blown by the wind, and the fallen leaves around it also floated up, whirling on the pool, indicating that there was a lot of rain after the strong wind last night, and the whole world was wet and dim.

Shen Shuzhao let out a long breath, she rubbed her hand holding the handle of the umbrella, and looked forward to someone who was coming.

Today is the day when she and Wei Yang need to go to Ganquan Palace, except for the time when they went to Zhen's Villa, it was rare to go out alone with Wei Yang at other times, so I was a little full of expectations.

"Little master, you have to be careful...... Wang Xian's deep voice came from behind him - since she was canonized by the emperor, everyone has changed her name, but the canonization has not come down, so she can only use "little master" as a pronoun.

Shen Shuzhao looked in the direction of Ganquan Palace and replied, "It's okay." ”

The Ganquan Palace in the distance is shrouded in nine ink clouds, the yin air is shrouded, and the clouds and mist drifting everywhere on the top of the mountain make it disappear from time to time, with a bit of mysterious color, and the previous impression of beautiful scenery is warm in winter and cool in summer, this palace seems to have been cursed. And in the hearts of most people, last night's demon wind and rain had a lot to do with Ganquan Palace, and it must have been caused by the confrontation between Wu Zhu and the demon girl.

Is she coming? Shen Shuzhao thought so, and at the same time she walked down the steps, and the moisture suddenly hit the soles of her feet, and the rain dripping from the eaves made a crisp sound on the plain umbrella surface. After a few steps, she stopped.

Because at the door of the courtyard, that familiar figure stood at the end of the rain-sheltered corridor, with his back to her, and kept looking up in the direction of Ganquan Palace opposite. The rain is continuous, and the green plants hang their heads. The white silk on the Yan Luo Qiyun's skirt was constantly gently held up by the wind, elongated, and soft, as independent as her back, as indifferent and free as her temperament.

Shen Shuzhao walked slowly towards her, and then quietly stretched the umbrella from behind her to the top of her head, just at this moment, the person in front of him spoke: "You are here." ”

After hearing this, she also smiled, she knew that with Wei Yang's force, she knew that she had come over.

She looked at her carefully, and then quickly noticed the scabbard on Wei Yang's waist that was hidden by layers of gauze skirts, since she had been in the palace for more than a month, she rarely saw Wei Yang wearing this sword with her, so she asked curiously, "What are you doing with your sword?" ”

"Just in case."

"What happens? It's just Qin Tianjian's pretending to be a ghost. ”

"Yes, that's right." Wei Yang said lightly, "However, it can protect you." ”

Shen Shuzhao secretly blushed, "But if you rush forward when you encounter danger in the past, I won't let go even if I am protected." ”

Wei Yang didn't answer her words, just rubbed the top of her hair calmly, "Let's go." ”

With that, she turned and walked out into the rain.

Shen Shuzhao, who was still immersed in being touched by her, suddenly panicked, "Hey! You wait-" She followed in small steps, moving the umbrella to the top of Wei Yang's head, with a hint of disgust: "Why don't you leave without an umbrella?" ”

Maybe it was after hearing her say this that Wei Yang remembered the incident of playing the umbrella, "Oh. ”

"It's not raining, but it's going to get cold."

Wei Yang said helplessly: "In the years when I followed the general in the north, it only rained a handful of times, and even as a general of the first army in the rain, he never held an umbrella, so I forgot." ”

“…… I really can't help you. Shen Shuzhao said as she leaned boldly in the direction of holding her hand, and the two of them snuggled closely, slowly walking in the drizzle with no one on a long path.

After returning from the intimate relationship between the two of them, she was either half-trapped in the Qinglian Pavilion by the Queen Mother because of the affairs of the Jiang Mansion, or she was running between the emperor and the Queen Mother, such a moment of solitude was too rare.

So she cherishes every moment of this time.

Suddenly, Wei Yang's voice sounded in her ears-

"Give me the umbrella."

Immediately afterwards, Wei Yang grabbed her shoulder with one hand, took the umbrella handle from her hand with the other, and propped it up in the middle of the two. Shen Shuzhao snuggled up to her, a smile on her lips.

She held her tight, like a pair of lovers walking on the streets of the capital.

Looking at the sword worn by Wei Yang's waist, Shen Shuzhao suddenly remembered something, which happened when they met for the first time.

"That's right......"

"Huh?"

"When we first met Beiyuan that day, what happened inside?"

“……”

Shen Shuzhao saw her fall into a short silence, and said with a smile: "If there is something that can't be said, you don't have to say it to me now." ”

"No, you can."

"That's?" She was curious.

Wei Yang's footsteps slowed down, and his expression became much softer, "It's not a big deal, I followed a dark shadow in the woods all the way, maybe it was the secret guard of the hostile minister's palace between the court and the queen mother." ”

"Is there such a thing? I thought the palace was very tightly controlled. ”

"You don't have to worry too much. I've grown up in the palace since I was a child, and I've encountered this kind of thing three times, but I haven't seen it since. ”

After listening to Wei Yang, she nodded, then leaned on her shoulder and said, "As long as you're okay." ”

Wei Yang turned sideways to look at the little woman on her shoulder, her eyes were rare and warm, and she whispered softly: "I'll be fine." ”

The two of them walked on the long road with a plain umbrella.

Snuggle up to each other.

Ascending the winding mountain road of Ganquan Palace, the rain flows down the stone steps, and there is only the sound of wind and rain in the bamboo forest, quiet and peaceful, and now many people are afraid to stay away from this place, and only they dare to come. Sometimes when she walked to a slippery place, Wei Yang would hold her tightly and walk up, the cool breeze blew from all around, Wei Yang's hair brushed the tip of her nose, slightly itchy, Shen Shuzhao rubbed her nose, and then continued to hide under the umbrella held high by Wei Yang, the two seemed to enjoy this quiet time very much.

Coming to the gate of the main hall blocked by Ganquan Palace, the Praetorian Guards standing under the eaves stood tall and saluted the central guard.

The place was now deserted except for the soldiers who had been left behind to guard it.

Shen Shuzhao walked in with her, and when she entered the hall, Wei Yang put away her umbrella, and she shook the stagnant water on the umbrella outside the door, and the rain splashed everywhere. Shen Shuzhao had just stepped into the hall, and a cold wind blew in her face, and she shivered, this strange seepage.

When she calmed down, a figure slowly walked from the side, and the footsteps were neither light nor heavy.

"You are?"

A faint childish voice came from the back of the neck.

Shen Shuzhao turned around suddenly, only to see a very cold-looking little girl in a small Taoist uniform standing behind her, she calmed her heartbeat and looked at her - judging by what she was wearing, it should be the apprentice brought by Wu Zhu of Changsheng Mountain.

The little girl continued, "Why did you enter the forbidden land?" ”

Shen Shuzhao replied calmly: "I am the one who was entrusted by the emperor to come to inspect the matter of the blood qin. ”

"Without the blessing of the witch blessing, it is easy to be attacked by evil creatures if you venture into this place." The little girl said strictly.

"Please advise." She said sincerely.

At this time, Wei Yang had already walked behind Shen Shuzhao, and he also looked at the other party with doubts.

"Wait a minute." After speaking, the little girl walked back to the side room, and soon she took out a pot of things, "This is what the master left for you." Then she dipped a few drops of clear liquid with a dry branch, dripped it into the palm of her hand, and finally walked up to Shen Shuzhao and signaled to do it for them.

So Shen Shuzhao obediently lowered her body, the little girl stretched out her fingers and dipped the drop of water in the middle of her eyebrows, Shen Shuzhao felt a cold forehead, and in an instant, the feeling of the body being transparent and open was strongly transmitted from the forehead to the temples, when the little girl's fingertips left, this feeling was gone, Shen Shuzhao stroked her eyebrows in a daze...... It turns out that this is the power of Wu Zhu, who is living in seclusion on the Immortal Mountain because he is too powerful.

The little girl continued to light the dew for Wei Yang, and when her fingertips touched Wei Yang's delicate and beautiful eyebrows, she suddenly frowned, "You ......"

"What's wrong?" Shen Shuzhao asked.

The little girl's fingers were retracted, and she looked at the outstanding beauty in front of her in disbelief, "Why is your soul different from others?" ”

"What the hell is going on?" She was very worried about Wei Yang's situation.

The little girl looked at Shen Shuzhao calmly, "Her body is too cold, I have followed the master for many years since I was a child, and I have never seen a person in the world who is so cold as hers." ”

"Is this dangerous?"

"She has lived unharmed for so many years, and there must be no danger."

Now Shen Shuzhao can be relieved.

Wei Yang didn't react to this, she just said flatly: "It's an old problem." ”

"Are you going to see the master?"

"No need." Wei Yang refused, "Zhao'er, let's go in." ”

She led her and prepared to walk in, Shen Shuzhao was first surprised that Wei Yang called her name for the first time, and then wondered why Wei Yang was walking so fast, she struggled a little, turned around and said to the little girl, "Why isn't your master here?" ”

The little girl replied coldly: "The master had a vicious fight with the evil forces in the palace last night, and unfortunately his body was invaded, so he went to recuperate in another hall for the time being." ”

Both stopped at the same time.

Injured?

Shen Shuzhao looked at Wei Yang suspiciously, is Gu Pin's matter so mysterious? Could it be that Qin Tianjian's prophecy has just stepped on?

Wei Yang Rao is expression has always been indifferent and indifferent, and his expression has changed slightly.

"Where's Wu Zhu?"

"White Frost Pavilion." When the little girl had finished answering, she no longer had any intention of talking to them.

So after they finished thanking them, they consciously walked to the palace, this White Frost Pavilion is in the emperor's side hall, and the emperor must have known about the things on Wu Zhu's body, what happened to him? The mystery is getting bigger and bigger, and it is gradually fermenting in Shen Shuzhao's heart......

What they didn't know was that the little girl's gaze gradually changed from usual to sharp and cold after they turned to leave, and she stared at Wei Yang's back tightly, not knowing what to think, until their figures disappeared around the corner.

Shen Shuzhao and the others came to the main hall of the palace banquet, and when they walked in, the scene in front of them was not shocking, but it could also make them feel that the Xuan family had created a depressing atmosphere, which was very uncomfortable.
