Outside the locked gate of Chuxiu Palace, Lu Qiange looked up at Tianyu, feeling indescribable grievances in his heart.

The night sky was still overcast, and a clammy and cold breath enveloped the imperial city, with the occasional nighthawk flying over the treetops and making a mournful chirp.

Thinking that it didn't take long for him to take off his ordinary guard uniform and be promoted to the inner court, because he offended the queen, he was beaten back to the ordinary forbidden military camp with an excuse, how could he bear it in his arrogance? What's more, he has to be strong in martial arts, and he guards the palace behind him alone, which is shaped like a cold palace.

There was nothing to do tonight, and Lu Qiange, who was in a depressed mood, picked up his saber and walked around the towering red wall around the palace to pass the time.

Lu Qiange clearly remembered that this Chuxiu Palace was the place where Tu Duxue was on an errand when he was in charge of the previous office.

Now that she has gone to Dongchang, there is no news, and I don't know how her life is.

Thinking back to many past events, Lu Qiange walked to the courtyard wall on the north side of Chuxiu Palace step by step, and suddenly saw a black shadow passing five meters away, as fast as lightning, and those who were not good at eye could hardly catch it.

A bold thief, how dare you come to make trouble when the master is on duty?

Suddenly, the purple eyes froze, and a cold glow was quenched.

Lu Qiange chased after the cat's waist, lifted the steel knife and shouted:

"What people!"

The black shadow was not tall, and his body was delicate wrapped in night clothes, and his head was full of green silk tied into a ponytail, wrapped in black silk, and covered with black veil.

Seeing that someone was coming, the man in black froze slightly, and asked in the same low voice:

"Are you Brother Lu?"

"Tu Duxue?"

Lu Qiange was surprised, hurried a few steps closer, and asked in surprise:

"Why didn't you sleep in the middle of the night, why did you run into the palace? There is an order from the Holy Father, and you Dongchang people are not allowed to enter and leave the palace at will. ”

"I know."

Gu Yunxi pulled down the black veil covering his face and smiled embarrassedly.

Two days ago, she was angry with Wu Yong and the overseer, and after she calmed down, she also felt that her approach was inappropriate.

At that time, if it hadn't been for the overseer's obstruction, I am afraid that I would have been anxious and hot-headed, and I would have caused a catastrophe.

As the overseer's close attendant who knew the law and broke the law, and was seen on the spot by the Lord of Qianhu and several blockers, Gu Yunxi felt that he had no face to stay in Dongchang anymore.

Staying until midnight, she secretly changed her clothes and went to an inn to charter a guest room, and sneaked into the palace after changing her night clothes, wanting to visit Xu and Yu's second concubines.

When he arrived at Jingyang Palace, Gu Yunxi was prostrate on the eaves of the ear room and watched the movements of the main hall. The window lattice shone with a faint firelight, and only a small eunuch sat under the porch outside the hall and snoozed.

It seems that the people inside have fallen asleep.

At this time, she needed a lot of recuperation, Gu Yunxi knew that it was inconvenient to disturb, so after watching it for a moment, she turned around and flew to Chuxiu Palace.

The ordinary forbidden officer uniform on Lu Qiange's body puzzled Gu Yunxi and asked:

"Brother Lu, you, you're no longer in Kunning Palace?"

Lu Qiange chuckled slightly bitter, but pretended not to care, and hugged his chest with his arms:

"Young people naturally need to be diligent in mobilizing and accumulating more experience! By the way, you can run into the palace alone, it seems that your kung fu is not bad. ”

Gu Yunxi didn't want to hide his intentions from him, his thin eyebrows were solemnly locked, his bright eyes revealed a glow of hatred, he raised his eyes to stare at the high wall, and said in a solemn voice:

"Master Xu was framed and imprisoned here, she and my master and servant treated me well, and I couldn't help but visit her when she was in trouble. Brother Lu, can you ......?"

"Okay, don't say it," Lu Qiange waved his hand: "I respect the person who knows the grace of the most in my life, you just go in, I have the right to see nothing tonight." ”

The girl was moved and bowed her hand again and again: "Thank you."

Lu Qiange smiled slightly and immediately turned around, with a slight wind behind him, and turned around again, with no one in front of him.

Gu Yunxi fell into the courtyard of Chuxiu Palace and saw it

The dead branches around are overlapping and overlapping, the window screen of the cabinet hall is torn, and the once singing birds and flowers are now a bleak place.

Only one place in the lonely side hall flickered, bringing some warmth to this hellish cold and terrifying space.

In the orange light, two weak figures were reflected in the window lattice.

Gu Yunxi stared blankly, his mind full of the former glory of this palace. Suddenly, there was a pool of water under his eyes.

Tiptoe lightly leaned down to the porch, the door of the temple had been bolted with iron chains, leaving only a sliding window for ventilation, presumably those who were thoughtful had expected that the two weak women in the hall would not be able to fly out of this window even if they had wings.

With his usual vigilance, Gu Yunxi looked around, pushed open the window sash, and grabbed the window frame with his ten fingers and drilled into half of his body.

"Who?!"

There was a sudden panicked shout inside, like a frightened bird trembling in a hurry, until he saw Gu Yunxi's eyebrows, eyes and facial features.

"You're a twilight girl?"

The master and servant stood by the wall opposite the window, with Jinzhu in front and Concubine Xu behind them, both of them with frightened faces.

"Don't panic, it's a slave."

Gu Yunxi deftly tightened and softened his limbs and jumped into the hall through the window, his whole body was as light as a piece of paper, and he didn't make a sound.

When the three of them met, they were so choked up that they couldn't say the whole sentence.

Since being deprived of her title and confinement, Concubine Xu's food and clothing are no longer as good as before, the furnishings in the house are extremely simple, except for Jinzhu accompanying her, the other palace maids have also been dismissed to other places on duty.

The tribulations of life have reduced the size of the master and servant, Gu Yunxi looked at them, and suddenly felt miserable in his heart, and knelt down with tears pouring down:

"Niangniang, Aunt Jinzhu!"

Concubine Xu wore a plain skirt, her facial features were beautiful and gentle, her head was tied with a cloud bun, and a plain hairpin was simple, but she did not lose everyone's demeanor.

In the end, he was born in a famous family, even if he fell from the clouds to the dust, his temperament is still there, and he is still beautiful.

Qiushui's eyes cut off the ripples of the water waves, rippling with crystal teardrops, the wet eyelashes trembled a few times, the corners of the woman's mouth pulled lightly, and the faint released a happy arc:

"Twilight girl, why are you here?"

Her heart was already so excited that she was overflowing, she still had her usual light expression, looked at the sad girl kindly, and smiled lightly:

"Get up, you forgot, I said I don't like people kneeling."

The girl stubbornly wiped her eyes and shook her head like a rattle until she was helped up by the woman.

Gu Yunxi tearfully hugged Concubine Xu to sit on the wooden chair, squatted under her knees, and whimpered:

"Niangniang, you have been wronged."

"How can there be ......?"

Concubine Xu was so peaceful, the water in her shallow eyes was flying, and she said abruptly:

"In the deep palace, I have also exhausted my calculations, I can't help myself, I think that Jinjieyu's thing is retribution, I don't blame others, but I suffer Jinzhu, and I have to accompany me to suffer here."

"What the mother is saying, as long as you are not separated, it makes no difference to the slave and maid."

Jinzhu said sadly, raised his hand and wiped his tears.

"Niangniang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the slave is late. The slave knows that the mother is wronged and can only stand by and watch, it is the slave and the maid who are sorry for you! ”

Gu Yunxi repented loudly at the woman's feet and cried so much that he couldn't form an army.

She is fully capable of handing over Wu Yong to the emperor to prove that the mastermind behind the demon fetal theory and the well water poisoning case is not this poor woman, but for the sake of the overall situation, she can't act at will, so she falls into deep self-blame.

Concubine Xu didn't know the truth, and simply thought that her downfall had attracted the girl's sympathy and grief.

Pursing her lips and chuckling, Concubine Xu's warm fingertips stroked the girl's green silk, and said shallowly:

"Don't cry, don't cry, I couldn't stand you at that time, you served me once, did many things for me before and after the saddle, and I was kicked out of the palace. Twilight girl, you don't hold a grudge against me, do you? ”

Gu Yunxi snorted and shook his head, his voice revealing an indelible cry:

"How can a slave and maid resent Niangniang, Niangniang is good, it is a blessing for a slave to have the honor to serve you."

Her heart hurt fiercely at this moment, Concubine Xu suddenly stared at her, and the dampness and heat under her eyes wiped out the rippling light of the past:

"Good, good...... You can not forget to come and visit me when I am in trouble, I am ...... enough."

The voice was faintly blurred like clouds on the horizon, leaving only a touch of sadness and shocking heart.

The girl's atrium fluctuated violently, and she suddenly had a very bad premonition.

immediately hugged Concubine Xu's legs and prayed:

"Niangniang, the matter has come to this, Niangniang must take care of herself. Please trust the slave and the slave, and believe in the cold lord. Dongchang will find out the mastermind behind a series of events in a few days, and return your innocence, please take care! ”

Concubine Xu smiled:

"Don't worry, I fought to the death and insisted on not going to the cold palace just to wait for that day. Grievances will not be revealed for a day, and I am reluctant to seek death and life. Twilight girl, you can rest assured of this. ”

"Hmm!"

Gu Yunxi sincerely admired Concubine Xu's strong heart, and squeezed out a bleak smile to wipe away the tears.

After the drum sounded, Jinzhu went to the bedside to look outside, turned around and said:

"The water vapor is coming down, I'm afraid it's raining, let's go back to the East Factory quickly, and let the mother settle it early."

Concubine Xu was reluctant, her pupils were focused and envious, and she repeatedly lingered and watched the girl dressed in black and Luo Tuo, indistinguishable from male and female, as if she wanted to deeply sink her facial features into her memory at this moment.

"Mother's ......"

Gu Yunxi joined hands with him, his legs were like lead, and he was reluctant to take a step.

"Go, Twilight ......"

Concubine Xu's snort was wet and red, her tearful eyes reflected the slightly beating candle flame, and she said in a trembling voice:

"From the first day I met you, I knew you weren't something in the pool. I see light in you, so dazzling, so bright, that it can shine into every dark corner of the deep palace, and that is your own power. ”

"The slave will come to see you again, you have to wait for the slave and the maid, and the slave will definitely take you out of the forbidden place."

Gu Yunxi stepped on the windowsill, and the moment he turned over, he couldn't help but look back at the master and servant in the hall again.

At that moment, Concubine Xu's eyes were shining, and she stood up with a quiet smile, which suddenly gave the girl an extremely strong sense of shock.

Xu is an illusion, her heart is beating faster inexplicably, and in an instant, she looks back at this moment as if she is forever decided......

Lifted lightly out of the red wall and fell to Lu Qiange's side.

"Thank you."

Gu Yunxi thanked him, his voice hoarse.

Lu Qiange frowned, and immediately noticed the pair of eyes that were not too big but were already red and swollen:

"Are you crying?"

Gu Yunxi lowered his head, still immersed in grief and couldn't pull out, and said eloquently

"Well, seeing the old master in trouble, I can't help but ......"

"yes," Lu Qiange looked at the gloomy sky and sighed:

"This big palace seems to be drunk and beautiful, but in fact, it is made of white bones and unjust souls, and there is sadness and helplessness that belongs to it everywhere, so it is better to be a civilian."

Gu Yunxi's eyes were fixed somewhere without saying a word, and a faint tear crossed his cheeks.

Lu Qiange turned his head to look, and was puzzled by that inexplicable feeling.

Her expression of concentration is really too much like Yunxi.

It is this trace of confusion and charming wind that evokes the feelings buried deep in Lu Qiange's heart.

He looked at her stunned, and slowly reached out, trying to wipe the tears from the girl's cheeks.

Unexpectedly, the girl reacted, quickly dodged and rolled her eyebrows, and said coquettishly:

"What are you doing—"
