At this time, it was already dark, and there was a sudden thunderstorm, which made people surprised.

Concubine Shu said: "Maybe it's going to rain, the third girl might as well stay, and I will send someone to talk to the crown princess." ”

Cheng Wei thought about Cheng Ya's previous advice, and politely refused: "The rain hasn't started yet, so the courtiers should go back, lest the princess be pregnant and worry about me." ”

Seeing her resolute attitude, Concubine Shu no longer forced her to stay, after all, she met this third girl for the first time and stayed with her for the night, once something happened, it was not clear.

"If that's the case, then go back early, it's not good to rain halfway through."

Concubine Shu ordered the waiter to send Cheng Wei, but Cheng Wei refused.

"The courtiers are accompanied by Sister Ruodie, and the lights are bright outside, so you don't have to bother your father-in-law to send it off, lest your father-in-law come back in the rain again."

Concubine Shu said in her heart that the third girl was sensible, so she ordered someone to take an umbrella and hand it to Ruodie, a few words of concern, and served tea to the guests.

When Cheng Wei left, the confidant came over and asked, "Niangniang, does Miss Cheng San really know how to see a doctor?" ”

Concubine Shu touched the Buddha beads and smiled: "I don't know if I can cure this palace, but it's true." Without waiting for Bengu to say, she saw Bengong's illness at a glance. ”

The henchman was surprised: "Miss Cheng San is so young, I really can't see it." Could it be the Crown Princess—"

Concubine Shu glanced at her: "Young generation, who knows the difficulties of this palace?" Even if the crown princess learned about it by chance, would she say such a thing to her sister who was not yet in time? Miss Cheng San said that she had to take the seven **** concocted runes in a row to be effective, and wait and see. Invite Miss Cheng San to come over early tomorrow. lest it be unsafe to go back at night. ”

"Yes." The confidant and grandmother responded in their mouths, but there was something strange in their hearts.

Since Niangniang was afraid that it would not be safe for Miss Cheng San to go back, why did Miss Cheng San refuse to send her to her just now. But the mother didn't insist?

This grandmother has been with Concubine Shu for many years, but she often can't see through this lady who everyone praises for being peaceful and low-key, but she only dares to suppress these thoughts deeply in her heart.

Cheng Wei walked out of Zhaochun Palace and looked up at the sky.

The stars had faded, the moon had taken refuge in the clouds, and the curtain of deep blue sky was getting thicker and thicker.

"Three girls. Let's go quickly, it's raining halfway, and you're going to catch a cold. ”

"Hmm." Cheng Wei quickened his pace.

The June day is the face of a doll. said that change will change, not long after the two walked out, they heard a thunderclap and looked up again. The clouds roll low. It's like being stained with ink, and it's daunting.

"Three girls, let's go!" Ruodie stretched out her hand to pull Cheng Wei, raised her feet and ran.

Although Cheng Wei's body has not been very good recently, after all, he has a bit of martial arts foundation, and he can run much faster than Ruodie, but unfortunately no matter how fast he is, he can't catch up with the speed of rainfall.

In the midst of the rolling thunder, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky. The clouds were split, and the rain fell like bright lines.

The lanterns on the eaves of the promenade could not withstand the storm, thunder and lightning. Flickered a few times, and then disappeared one after another.

In the huge palace, the most noble masters have already gone to escape the summer with the Son of Heaven, and those who stayed, from the concubines to the little palace maids, were inadvertently lazy.

At this hour, in such weather, even if the lantern goes out, no one comes out to inquire.

The clouds were as thick as ink, the rain was pouring down, and the lights seemed to fall into a deep sleep in an instant.

Cheng Wei and Ruodie held hands, they couldn't even bother to hold an umbrella, and ran to the nearest palace to avoid the rain in a panic.

The rain was so heavy that the rain blurred their eyes and their perceptions at the same time.

If the butterfly slipped under her feet, she fell down in embarrassment, and the lantern fell far away, and she almost fell down with Cheng Wei.

Cheng Wei hurriedly pulled Ruodie up, didn't dare to speak, pulled her to cover her head and continued to run forward.

The two of them ran for a long time, but they finally ran under the corridor, holding on to the pillars and panting.

After a while, Ruodie woke up, looked at Cheng Wei, who was soaking wet, and was shocked: "Three girls! ”

She rushed over and reached out to take out the handkerchief, only to find that the handkerchief was already wet and covered with muddy water, and her hand froze in the air.

Cheng Wei stretched out his hand to wipe the rain on his face, and said with relief: "It's okay, it's already soaked anyway, it's the same whether you wipe it or not." Sister Ruodie, where do you see this? ”

Ruodie tried to identify it, and shook her head hesitantly: "It's too dark to see anything clearly." ”

Her heart was pounding.

The palace is so big, but the wind and rain outside the corridor, it seems that there are only the two of them left in the world, which is really terrifying. In case the third girl has a bad idea, how can she explain to the crown princess?

"Sister Ruodie, it seems to be darker here than elsewhere." Cheng Wei tried his best to calm down, and said after observation.

Ruodie heard Cheng Wei say this, looked around, and her face gradually turned white: "It seems to be like this!" ”

Cheng Wei didn't know about such a situation, but Ruodie faintly guessed.

It's quieter than elsewhere, which means it's often a lesser-visited place.

Thinking of this, Ruodie wiped a handful of the pillars and twisted them with her fingers, and could feel a layer of ash gradually turning into muddy water on her wet fingertips.

This means that this place has not been cleaned for a long time.

Could it be that they came to the cold palace by accident?

Ruodie shook her head.

No, it didn't take long for them to start raining after they came out of the Zhaochun Palace, and even if they panicked, it was impossible to break into the cold palace.

Those cold palaces that specialize in detaining concubines are far away from Zhaochun Palace.

Cheng Wei didn't know Ruodie's thoughts about turning over the river and the sea, but he was much calmer, looked at the rain curtain that was connected into a line, and sighed: "I knew this earlier, it's better to come out later." ”

Ruodie restrained her thoughts and asked Cheng Wei: "Third girl, are you cold?" ”

Cheng Wei shook his head: "It's not cold." ”

Of course, the weather in late June is not much cold, but on this stormy night, the thinly clothed and soaked people say that it is not cold, of course, it is self-comforting.

Ruodie felt thin goosebumps on her arms, and the wind and rain were slanting, and her whole body was trembling.

She looked at Cheng Wei, who was younger than herself, and said that she was not cold, and gradually calmed down.

Even the third girl is not afraid, what is she flustered about as a slave? In any case, it is necessary to escort the three girls back to the East Palace safely.

The two fell silent, listening to the noisy thunderstorm, and the corridor seemed to be a world of its own.

It's good that the rain will stop soon, and I don't know how the big sister should worry.

Cheng Wei held on to the pillar and thought intently, and suddenly heard a slight cry.

She was startled, slowly turned her head to look at Ruodie, lowered her voice and asked, "Sister Ruodie, did you hear any sound?" ”

"Voice? What was that? Her eyes had gradually adapted to the darkness, and Ruodie could barely see Cheng Wei's expression, with a solemn expression.

Ruodie's voice trembled: "Third girl, what did you hear?" ”

"Maybe I misheard." Cheng Wei didn't want to scare Ruodie, and said vaguely.

Before the words fell, the cry suddenly became clear, like a sharp blade ignoring the obstacles of the rain curtain and penetrating the hearts of the two! (To be continued.) )
