Chapter 8 The night is as cold as water

After the two palace maids left, An Su also walked back the way she came. I have been in a hurry these days, but I didn't notice that this road is close to the Imperial Garden, and there are some trees with red berries in the garden next to it, and the corolla is white, which is beautiful to look at from a distance.

Ansu stopped and stared at the flower for a long time. In her hometown of Qinghe County, this plant can be found everywhere, and it is a good material for the treatment of paralysis, called Bai Ying. I thought that Bai Ying was ordinary, and he couldn't get into the eyes of the palace servants, but he never thought that there was a large area here. An Su carefully noted down the direction here, and used Bai Ying to mash and apply it to the sore area, maybe it could relieve Mama Qin's leg disease, and she had to come again when she was free.

In recent days, the affairs of the palace have been busy, and the palace maids have also undertaken a lot of trivial matters, these things should not be their errands, but they can only bear the power in a hurry. By the time it was back to normal, it was already seven or eight days later. An Su was free, and unconsciously remembered the eunuch's residence next to the typhoon shelter, maybe it was time to take a look, if he was lucky enough to find his younger brother, it would be worth it.

At the end of the day, the palace maids in the same room had fallen asleep peacefully, and Chu Ruo, who was lying next to An Su, was also breathing heavily. She quietly stood up and looked at it a few times, before she got out of bed lightly and walked out.

When the door was closed, there was a breeze, and it wasn't too much movement, but An Su felt that someone in the room seemed to be looking at her with their eyes open. But when you look at it closely, there is nothing very wrong. An Su thought about it, but re-entered the house, took a round bowl the size of a palm, and then turned around and went out again.

After she left, sure enough, someone sat up in the dark, and it was Jiang Qingran, who had been in peace for a long time. She stared at the direction An Su went out for a while, and then quietly woke up Zhou Meihong beside her: "Get up, let's go and call Mama Qin, there will be a good show in a while." ”

On the other side, An Su walked out of the gate of the palace maid's house and walked along the fork in the road in his memory to the eunuch's residence.

The night is cool, and the palace wall next to it becomes taller and taller, and the shadows in the moonlight cover the palace road tightly, and occasionally a few cat meows are heard. When passing by the Huanning Palace, there is a singing and dancing instrumental music floating out of the palace door, babbling and babbling. Looking at this battle, it is probably that the emperor stayed at Xu Meiren's place again tonight. An Suyin hurried past the palace wall, trying to avoid letting people see her.

After the Huanning Palace, it is the shelter, and then go inside to the residence of the new eunuchs. Although it is not far from the Huanning Palace, it seems to be bounded by a shelter, separating the two worlds into two worlds, which is lively and quiet on the other.

An Su turned a corner in this extremely quiet corner, and her eyes fell on the eunuchs at the door. This group of people was about to be on duty tonight, and after listening to a few words from the chief eunuch, they were going out to inspect the palaces.

As Ansu expected, the general would see the faces of several people, so they got up one after another, lined up and walked out. An Su hurriedly turned sideways and hid in the darkness, she had broken the rules when she left the palace maid's house without permission at night, if she was caught peeping into the eunuch's residence again, she would be sentenced to a serious crime of defiling the palace.

It wasn't until the group of eunuchs walked past that An Su came out of the darkness. Just a glance at the corner, the one who walked at the back of the line turned out to be very similar to the description of the younger brother Shaojun. For a while, An Su didn't have time to think carefully, so he raised his heel and went up. After a few intersections, the candles in the lanterns flickered and dimmed, and An Su was far away, but he really couldn't see more clearly.

"Xu Ji Niangniang's cat has lost one, you guys hurry up and look for it."

When he went back to Huanning Palace, Mo Sheng was directing several eunuchs at the door. The fragrance of the mandala flowers wafted over again, and with such a strong taste, the mandala flowers used would never be less. An Su glanced at the palace attentively, the emperor was also inside, and the lights were still bright.

After stopping for a moment and looking back, the group of eunuchs was gone, and they hurried to make their rounds, and their feet were faster. Thinking about their previous route, Ansu quietly headed to the shelter, hoping to meet them.

After waiting for a moment, the eunuchs had not yet appeared, but some other untimely voices entered their ears. An Su followed the source of this sound and walked in, there was a hidden path next to the pavilion in the shelter, and there were palace walls on both sides.

Ansu leaned against the wall and looked in through the moonlight, it was a man and a woman. The woman is wearing a palace maid's costume, which is more decorated than an ordinary palace maid, and she is probably a high-ranking palace maid. And the man, An Su originally thought that he was a eunuch who was on an errand nearby, but looking at his clothes, he looked more like a guard at night.

The voices of the two were deliberately low, and An Su couldn't hear them clearly, only to see the woman hand over a handkerchief to the guard, and the guard carefully put it away.

An Su felt that she had met a pair of lovers who met at night, and the deep palace was lonely, and she didn't want to disturb their rare time, so she walked back cautiously. Unexpectedly, his feet slipped, and he just cared about stabilizing his body, and kicked a few stones. The sound of the stones rolling was very abrupt in the quiet of the night, which naturally aroused the alarm of the two people.

"Who? Who's there? Sure enough, as soon as he stood firmly, he heard the woman's questioning.

An Su hesitated for a moment, but thought in her heart, if she went out by herself, they would find out that she went out privately in the middle of the night, but it was not in accordance with the palace rules for the two of them to meet. The two sides each have each other's handles, and they are evenly matched, and they can also be at peace with each other.

"Don't be sneaky, come out!" The woman was visibly impatient.

Ansu took a deep breath and planned to walk out like this, but when she took a step forward, she was suddenly pulled back into the darkness and her mouth was covered. A black cat sprang out from under her feet, and with the sound of rolling stones and meowing, the woman finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a cat!" The woman sighed and lowered her voice again, so that Ansu couldn't hear clearly.

They were probably disturbed by the black cat, and hurriedly said a few words, and the woman stuffed the guard with another package, and the two of them left vigilantly. The package looked heavy from afar, and seemed to have some weight.

When the whole path was completely quiet, An Su broke free from the restraints of the man behind him. The fragrance that had made her feel like a spring breeze in Qinghe County penetrated into her nose again, An Su's heartbeat unconsciously accelerated a little, she slowly turned around, and what she saw was Gu Wenzhou's fox eyes.

"The situation is urgent, I offended Miss Shangguan, is it Gu."

"Thank you Gu Xiangshi for your help." Ansu stepped back, so as not to be distracted by the fragrance.

"Why bother with a little effort?" Gu Wenzhou showed a gentle smile in the moonlight, the same as when An Su first saw him. Such a smile is really rare in the palace, An Su couldn't help but look at it greedily, and it happened to collide with his gaze.

An Su panicked and quickly looked away, like a frightened little rabbit. She looked roughly at the gazebo not far away, the shadows of the trees in the pavilion were swaying, and the wind was cool, which was also refreshing. Looking at the palace wall next to the path, the red bricks and green tiles have a unique flavor under the moonlight. In short, here and now, everything is good.

"Miss Shangguan, the guards are strict at night, Gu will send you back!"

An Su was about to nod, but suddenly remembered the round bowl in his hand, and the white English forest seemed to be on the way back to the palace maid's house. Since he came out for a trip, at least one thing had to be done, and An Su was not in a hurry to go back.

"Gu Xiangshi, I still have some things to do."

Gu Wenzhou's gaze fell on the round bowl in her hand: "If the Shangguan girl doesn't give up, Gu is willing to help." ”

"Really?" An Su's eyes couldn't hide the surprise, but he quickly lowered his head again, "It's better not to trouble Gu Xiangshi, there are quite a lot of guards and eunuchs patrolling at night, if someone finds out, won't it affect you?" ”

"It is precisely because there are people patrolling everywhere that Gu Mou has to protect the girl's safety." Gu Wenzhou looked at An Su who was still hesitating, and comforted her, "In the past few days of entering the palace, Gu has already remembered the road and palace in the palace, and he will definitely not let people find out." ”

An Su finally compromised, not only for his own safety, but also for the fragrance of Gu Wenzhou's body. They walked side by side under the moonlight, paying attention to the movements on the side, such a nervous and shy mood, like a pair of little lovers who had a private meeting with their father and mother.

It's just that this kind of time always passes too quickly, and Bai Yinglinzi, who felt quite far away that day, was caught off guard today. An Su sighed lightly, said goodbye to Gu Wenzhou, and went into the forest to collect medicine, but who knew that he also followed.

I thought that Gu Wenzhou was a well-known scholar, and he often showed people with the posture of a handsome and noble son, and he must have ten fingers that did not touch the spring water, but he never thought that he was also a good hand at picking medicine. An Su looked at his skillful techniques and proper handling of medicinal herbs, and felt that he must have some medical skills. It's just that seeing a fresh and refined person like him fiddle with the things that grow out of the mud, I always feel that it is not suitable for him.

"Bai Ying mashed and applied to the wound, it has the effect of clearing heat and dampness, reducing swelling and relieving pain, but the dosage should also be considered, although the toxicity of this herb is slight, and it is not good to use too much." Gu Wenzhou put the picked white Ying into the round bowl and instructed An Su.

"Gu Xiangshi, you know medicinal herbs very well?"

"In the early years, I traveled all over the world, and by chance, I had some fur with the same divine medicine, and I only knew a little bit about it."

An Su looked at him and smiled: "Gu Xiangshi is humble." ”

After picking the herbs, as soon as he had said a few words, some eunuchs with lanterns suddenly appeared not far away, and they walked quickly, as if they had found someone here.

"Who's hiding over there? Come out to our house! ”

A shrill voice came into his ears, and An Su hurriedly pulled Gu Wenzhou to squat down, but there was very little cover around, if they approached, they would definitely be able to see the two of them.
