Chapter 236: Plum Blossom Green Rain (2)
Thinking of the rather mysterious emperor, Yin Suwen paid a little more attention, not to mention some of his abnormal behaviors, but because Li Xiuming and Leng Qiushui were not able to get too much information about him, Yin Suwen became deeply curious and wary. If someone who hides in the court like that is not hiding some shocking secrets, he must be a strange person with a strange personality.
Although he had a self-protection weapon hidden in his hand, Yin Suwen was still worried and wanted to find out some useful information in advance. Leng Qiushui seemed to identify her as a friend, and was willing to sit here when she had nothing to do on weekdays, and Pearl was a very responsible maid who served with her heart, and the over-enthusiasm of these two people caused her plan to find out was frequently blocked.
She has some kung fu and is not afraid to go out at night to investigate, but the more troublesome thing is that she has night blindness, and she always has no courage to walk alone at night when she can't mention the wind lantern lighting.
Fortunately, before entering the palace, Li Xiuming also made a lot of practical preparations in addition to repeated instructions, in addition to the ordinary gold and silver soft and all kinds of medicinal stones, he also specially prepared a night pearl produced in the deep sea of Nanzhou for her. The bead is round and beautiful, although it is not big, but it is just enough for a person to hold in the palm, and the white light can also be able to illuminate the road, although it is not as good as the streamer bead that saved her life at that time, but it is still better than nothing for night walking.
Yin Suwen was well prepared, but the only thing that was not thoughtful was that he forgot to bring his night clothes into the palace, and now he had to change out of the layered Luo shirt and long skirt and walk lightly in the most simple clothes. Taking advantage of the dead of night, she quietly climbed over the wall and walked quickly across the boundary of Linquan Palace, but she also avoided two groups of Praetorian Guards patrolling at night relatively smoothly.
Her original intention was to go directly to the Chaoyuan Palace, where the emperor was located, to investigate. At least see the emperor himself first, and only when he knows himself and his opponent can he face the enemy head-on. However, the Chaoyuan Hall is far away, just in case, Yin Suwen also prepared a hand-drawn map in advance, and did everything possible to get out of the words from the pearls and cold autumn water during the day, and according to their prompts, the direction and route were roughly marked.
Everything was ready, but Yin Suwen, as an out-and-out road idiot, was already difficult enough to search for a map in the middle of the night, and was even frightened a few times by a few night patrol sergeants who suddenly marched to the vicinity on the way, after a third lap around a deserted garden. She finally found herself completely lost.
Walk forward in the dark to this place where there are no palace lights to illuminate the way. Relying only on the glimmer of light in his hand, Yin Suwen couldn't tell that this was an abandoned garden, until his feet were full of sharp gravel of different sizes, and there was no fragrance of seasonal flowers and plants around, only decay and decay and swaying dead branches and leaves. Only then did she realize that she had stumbled into an abandoned garden.
Although the lonely garden in the middle of the night is desolate and eerie. She thinks that she is open-minded and has martial arts to defend herself, but she is not very afraid. The only thing that was too much was that the night was dark and the light was limited, and it was really difficult for me to find the exit of the garden while carefully hiding my figure.
She didn't care about the branches and leaves that would hurt her hand, so she directly identified a direction and walked quickly for a while. It was all up to a pair of hands to cut through the thorns and thorns, and to make a path out of the half-human-high weeds.
The fluttering blades of grass were swept by the night wind, and with the chill on his skin, Yin Suwen was finally a little timid. Fortunately, after a few steps away from the grass, there was already a little fluorescence, and I thought it should be a palace lamp outside the exit.
Seeing hope, she simply wanted to use her strength and rush away, but she didn't think about her figure, but the ribbon at the corner of her clothes was tightly wrapped around the dead branches of Hengyi. With a clear cracking sound, her whole body was directly dragged to the ground, and the beads in her hand rolled down at the same time.
The terrain was uneven and the withered grass was deep, and the beads disappeared as soon as they hit the ground, leaving not even the sound of a blade of grass breaking. Lost in a strange and dark place and lost the only light source, Yin Su couldn't care about his broken legs, so he barely managed to untie his bound clothes, and hurriedly fumbled for beads among the dry grass.
After crawling for a long time, I didn't see any light except the mud and gravel, but I just felt the soil and grass under my hands and it became more and more wet.
"Could it be that this is an abandoned garden with a small river hidden?"
She muttered to herself that she had explained that there should be a dark river here, so the terrain was uneven, and her beads had just rolled directly into the river. Thinking about it like this, she doesn't plan to continue to spend it here, there is a bright exit ahead, and it's a big deal to give up a bead and move it a little by herself, it's better than being discovered by the palace people the next morning.
After making up his mind, Yin Suwen no longer hesitated, patted the soil in his hand, and tied all the corners of his slightly longer skirt in a knot, and walked towards the light not far away little by little with his intuition in the dazed night.
On the way, she encountered potholes of unknown depth several times, but fortunately, she never fell down with a sigh of relief. It's just that when the light got closer and closer, Yin Suwen stopped in confusion. This bright place should be the exit of the garden, why is it that the closer you get to it, the more uneven the road is, the deeper the grass is?
Looking around, although the garden has been abandoned, the area is not small, and the undulating shadows in the distance can't tell whether it is a courtyard wall, but the light near is hidden in a small courtyard gate. The gate of the courtyard was connected to the half-collapsed wall in front of him, and the light did emanate from the weeds that passed over the wall.
Yin Suwen finally confirmed that he had not found any exit, but walked deeper and deeper into the depths of this garden.
Fang was far away and saw only a few bright lights of Yingying, and when he got closer, he realized that someone had hung a lantern in the courtyard gate. I thought it was a completely abandoned garden, but I didn't expect that there were palace people living in the garden. It is naturally best to have a palace person to guide the way, just looking at the surrounding environment, thinking that the person who lives here should not be a nobleman, Yin Su is not worried about being recognized.
The night was quiet, and she was close for a moment, and when she stopped, she found that in addition to her own slightly heavy breathing, there were a few shallow sounds of water in the dark night wind. I followed the sound of the water all the way towards the light, only to find that there were a few miserable and complaining whimperes hidden from time to time under the cover of the sound of water.
There was a faint sound of night crying among the ruins of the decaying grass, and Yin Suwen almost thought that he had strayed into the story of the legend of Zhiwei. But she had no way out for a while, so she could only stubbornly continue to move forward, and sure enough, after a few steps, she saw a short figure under the lantern.
The figure was supposed to be a woman, holding her hair in a bun and curling up on her knees. She didn't notice Yin Suwen's arrival, but kept in that uncomfortable position and sobbed and cried. (To be continued......)
