Hua Qianshu returned to Pansi Cave from Qianfan's residence, and in the house, the candle flame had been extinguished, leaving only an oil lamp, which was extremely dim, like a soybean.

Seeing her coming back, Walnut lowered her voice: "Xiao Shizi has already slept in his room, do you need a slave to relight the lamp?"

Hua Qianshu waved his hand to stop it, lifted the curtain and entered the dormitory, wanting to go in lightly to see if he slept honestly and not kick the quilt. Quietly opening the low-hanging brocade tent, in the moonlight outside, Hua Qianshu only glanced at it, then exclaimed in surprise and froze in place.

The peanuts were gone, and the bedding was empty. She reached out to touch it, it was also cold, and she didn't know how long she had been gone.

She almost stumbled out: "Walnut, walnut!"

Walnut was still cleaning up outside, and twisted her face in surprise: "What's the matter, princess?"

"Peanuts, peanuts are gone!

Walnut was so frightened by her words that she almost collapsed on the ground, stupid: "No, no, the slave has been guarding outside, afraid that Xiao Shizi has something to say." ”

Hua Qianshu was so anxious that she was about to cry: "Search!

Walnut stumbled out, her voice out of tune. The whole Pansi Cave suddenly became lively, and the palace people held the lantern, like a headless fly, shouting and looking for it.

Peanuts have always been very well-behaved and will never run around on their own. What's more, it was already so late, and there were a few people sent by the night release in the palace to guard it, where could he go?

Yefang had already gotten the news first and hurried over. Of course, there was also a piece of kraft candy by his side. The tortoiseshell held the lantern in her hand, and Xie Xinlan carried the hem of her skirt and walked out of breath.

"Qianshu, what's going on?" the night let go in a hurry, and before the person arrived, he anxiously inquired about the situation.

Hua Qianshu took two deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, sorted out his disordered thoughts slightly, and said word by word: "I just left the time of a stick of incense, and the peanuts are gone!"

Then, she turned her face and looked at Xie Xinlan: "May I ask, Queen Mother, with the defense in our palace, he is a child, he shouldn't be able to run out of this West Palace, right?"

Xie Xinlan blinked: "Listening to Princess Hua's tone, it seems that Xingshi is asking for a crime, you shouldn't be suspicious, I stole the child, right?"

Hua Qianshu sneered: "I just want to tell the Queen Mother that there are any conspiracy schemes, even if you come at me." Peanut is just a kid!"

Xie Xinlan bit her lower lip lightly and frowned slightly: "Princess Hua, this is just wronging the mourning family, Shicai, the mourning family has been with the night, and they have never been separated for half a step." You can't trust me, you can always trust me overnight, right?"

Hua Qianshu's heart suddenly tightened, peanuts were missing, she was originally six gods and no owner, and she had the urge to collapse when she saw the night release, and now, when she heard that it was in the middle of the night, he was still with Xie Xinlan, and he was immediately annoyed: "This kind of thing, why do you need the Queen Mother to do it herself." If the peanut is found safe and sound, it will be better to return it, otherwise I will swear by a thousand trees that I will destroy the world and let all the people who harmed me be buried together!"

This was said in a fierce manner, ruthless and domineering, and his voice was a little sharp, and the palace people around him couldn't help but shrink their necks, a little timid.

"Mother!" there was a soft and glutinous voice in the back room, with a sleepy voice.

Hua Qianshu couldn't help but be stunned! It's a peanut!

She rushed in three steps and two steps. The tent that pulled out the bed by himself was opened, and the little peanut got a little head out of the quilt, squinting sleepy eyes: "Mother, it's so noisy." ”

Hua Qianshu stepped forward and hugged him tightly in his arms: "Why did you come to my mother's place?"

Little Peanut muttered: "The chestnuts are so noisy that I can't sleep, I want to smell my mother's smell, so I sneaked over and hid in the quilt." ”

Hua Qianshu breathed a sigh of relief helplessly, Shicai was too nervous, and only hurriedly opened his tent to take a look, but he didn't even notice this small lump curled up in the quilt. It seems that he has indeed been a soldier for a while.

Xie Xinlan and Ye Fang also followed up in the dormitory, Xie Xinlan raised his face aggrievedly and glanced at Ye Fang: "It's good that the peanuts are safe, otherwise the mourning family can't be washed even if they jump into the Yellow River, and they will simply wronged me." It turned out that in Princess Hua's heart, the mourning family was such a ruthless person. ”

Ye Fang slowly lifted her lips: "She was in a hurry, and she was a little speechless. ”

"Peanut is your son, I have always regarded him as my own, I love him a lot, and I hate to take him with me to raise him. Why is it that the princess of flowers has such a big hatred for me?"

Hua Qianshu didn't know what to say for a while. Today's matter is indeed my own fault, and I made such an oolong, and I was still in a hurry, so I couldn't help but shout nonsense. This is called the following offense. Xie Xinlan should catch this handle and cure his own sins.

She was annoyed for a moment, and raised her hand to pull out the culprit chestnut who was curled up at the foot of the bed: "You don't sleep with peanuts in the middle of the night, do you want to close the cage?"

The chestnut squeaked, and from time to time turned his face to look at the back room, as if he was talking to Hana Chiki.

Peanut pouted, still a little sleepy, and said in a daze: "Shicai chestnut is afraid to make me noisy." ”

"Scared?" Hua Qianshu frowned slightly, and looked at the chestnut again, and his heart was suddenly full of suspicions.

Chestnuts grow up with peanuts, so Peanut knows more about the body language of chestnuts to express emotions than she does.

The chestnut is not afraid of the living, but every time it encounters an enemy stronger than itself, it will use its own way to ask its owner for help.

For example, when in Wolong Pass, whenever a goshawk glides over the sky, the chestnut that is playing, afraid of this fierce thing, will "squeak" into the arms of peanuts, only exposing the buttocks and tail at the neckline, "squeaking" and screaming, trembling with fright.

Today's chestnuts are a bit of an anomaly.

Peanut nodded his little head melon: "It seems to have been fighting just now." ”

On the side, Xie Xinlan was still endlessly accusing Hua Qianshu of Hua Qianshu's "crime" to the night. Hua Qianshu got up directly, took the lamp and candle on the table, and walked towards Peanut's room, step by step.

"What's wrong?" asked Ye Fang, keenly aware of the caution in her steps.

Hua Qianshu was afraid that he was making a fuss again, so he said without looking back: "It's okay!"

Yefang stepped forward, took the lamp and candle in her hand, and walked in front first. His move made Hua Qianshu's heart warm, looked at his broad shoulders, and slightly hooked the corners of his lips.

Behind him, Xie Xinlan instructed the palace people: "Why don't you hurry up and go in to take charge of the lantern! Let the Lord Regent do it himself? How are these rules taught?"

The palace people obeyed the order, immediately lit the lamps and candles, and followed him into the inner room.
