The leading chief of the guard (the commander of the Praetorian Guard) clenched his sword, tapped his feet on the ground, and jumped onto the roof like a roc spreading his wings, his sharp eyes looked around the roof vigilantly, the roof was empty, not even a bird, was it an illusion?

After making sure there were no suspicious people on the roof, he lifted his feet, jumped off the roof, and returned to the guards.

"Chief, how?" asked a guard with a suspicious expression.

"It's nothing, let's go back, go and see elsewhere" General Qin (commander of the Praetorian Guard) answered the questions of his subordinates, and looked at the roof again suspiciously, maybe it was really an illusion, several palaces nearby were once inhabited by several favored maidens, since the emperor disbanded the harem, it has been vacant for several years, and no one should come here.

It is said that Chu Yun'er has already left the previous palace, and the moment the Praetorian Guards looked up at the roof, the second master hugged her and flew to another roof, where the palace is surrounded by nine curved corridors, and all kinds of chrysanthemums and peonies bloom one after another outside the corridor, and there are two rows of palace maids quietly guarding the front of the palace door, the palace is luxuriously decorated, the lights are soft, and at a glance you know that it must be the bedroom of the emperor's favorite concubine.

There were people outside the palace, in order to avoid being discovered, Chu Yun'er and the second master lay on the roof, listening attentively, there was an intermittent sound of talking in the house, like a middle-aged man's low murmur, because of curiosity, Chu Yun'er secretly uncovered a piece of glazed tiles.

A light purple gauze is visible, through which a large bed covered with white fur can be vaguely seen, a sick woman is sleeping on the bed, on the sunken pillow, the woman's eyebrows are slightly pursed, her eyes are closed, her lips are a sickly white, her head is full of green silk sprinkled on the pillow like brocade, and a man in a yellow brocade robe is sitting bent over the bed, holding a piece of the woman's soft wattle, gently rubbing.

The man's thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his misty eyes looked intently at the pale face of the woman on the bed, not noticing the one person, one corpse and one fox peeping on the roof. Since the second emperor disappeared, the queen has been ill, and even the imperial doctor is helpless, saying that it is a heart disease and needs a heart medicine, a few months have passed, and the people sent out to find it have returned in vain, and I don't know what happened to the emperor, no one is alive, and no one is dead.

"Lan'er, don't sleep anymore, get better quickly, the emperor will definitely come back, the palace of Nuoda, I can't live without your mother and son, I ...... I can't live without you......" The man's low, hoarse murmur revealed a vicissitudes and exhaustion that had gone through the wind and rain, he lowered his head, kissed the woman's soft cheeks, closed his bloodshot eyes, and hid the sadness in his eyes into the bottom of his heart.

"Your Majesty......" A piercing and shrill call sounded outside the inner room, and after a pause, the voice came into the inner room again: "Your Majesty, the banquet of Ganquan Palace has been prepared, and all the officials and family members have arrived, just waiting for you, the emperor......"

Chu Yun'er on the roof immediately held her breath, raised her index finger to her lips, made a silent gesture to the red jade on the glazed tiles, and then carefully listened to the movement below, this is really the palace, if you are going to die, why is the second master here? The person below is the emperor, I don't know if there are any secret guards around here, will they be arrested as assassins later?

The man on the bed raised his lowered head, opened his tired and sad eyes and looked at the woman's peaceful sleeping face again, gently stuffed the woman's hand into the fox quilt, covered the quilt for her, and slowly stood up.

"The Emperor's ......" The piercing and shrill voice came into the room again.

As if he had woken up, the man walked three steps away from the bed and whispered to the door of the inner room: "Fuhai, call Mama Qin over."

"Yes, the slave is going to call Mama Qin" The person outside responded softly, and there was the sound of footsteps fading away.

After a while, as the footsteps got closer and closer, an old woman about forty years old in plain clothes came in.

The man raised his hand to stop Mama Qin, who was about to salute, and said softly: "Mama Qin, take good care of your master, I am a little busy these days, and I have no time to take care of the harem, so the queen will be handed over to you."

Mama Qin bowed respectfully, bowed her head and replied: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the slave and maid will definitely take good care of the master" After a slight pause, she continued: "The emperor should also pay attention to the dragon body, the master will definitely get better, little master...... Will definitely be back too."

"Hmm," the man replied, and turned and strode towards the outer chamber.

A group of people surrounded a tall yellow figure on the marble road outside the hall farther and farther, Chu Yun'er roughly understood the sorrow of the king of a country, the beloved queen's wife is sick, there may be no cure, and he is busy with state affairs, he has no time to come to visit, he has never seen the new person laugh but not the old person crying, as a king, how many people can have a heart, now the table has to be so dedicated, maybe turn around and hug left and right. However, what is this about her Chu Yun'er, in such a big winter, the second master flew so far with her on his back, wouldn't he come to the palace to listen to the corner?

Chu Yun'er covered the uncovered glazed tiles in situ, and the second master still maintained a peeping posture and remained still, his lowered eyes were still staring at the glazed tiles, as if he could see through the tiles into the house.

"Second master, what are we doing here" Chu Yun'er gently pushed the stunned second master next to her with her hand, and asked in a very low voice.

The second master raised his head and didn't answer Chu Yun'er, he helped Chu Yun'er to stand up, and said softly: "Go" and grabbed her body and rushed to the roof of the other house.

In a few leaps, they came to a brilliantly lit hall, the plaque on the door of the hall reads three big characters "Imperial Dining Room", the hall is full of smoke, the sound is noisy, the roof of the hall has green smoke rising, a team of dark blue clothes of attendants are carrying out food boxes from the hall to the banquet palace.

"Hey, you little rabbit, you be careful with our family, this is the white jade soup ordered by the emperor, if you take a drop, carefully peel your skin" A fair man with floating dust in his hand stood beside the door of the palace and commanded, his sharp voice was extremely harsh, making the hairs of his whole body tremble.

The reprimanded little father-in-law lowered his head timidly, took a small step cautiously with a blushing face carrying the food box, and took a step to look at the food box in his hand.

"Red Jade" Chu Yun'er hidden in the flowers let out a sharp exhale, and the red jade, which had long been uncontrollable, broke free from her clamps and rushed into the palace gate at a lightning speed, Chu Yun'er had nothing to do, she could only look at the palace door anxiously.

"And you, you, why haven't you sent it over yet, hurry up for our family, the emperor blames it, and carefully ...... your skin"

The sharp voice was continuing to discipline the busy palace people, and the second master hugged Chu Yun'er and hid behind the main hall, there was no door behind the main hall, only a few wide-open windows, and the tempting fragrance wafted out of the windows, arousing people's appetite.
