The night breeze blew through the branches of the trees, bringing up a green leaf, and the sound of rustling was very loud around the quiet inn, and on the high pavilion stood two slender figures, one of whom had a robe that exuded a warm yellow in the moonlight. The four eyes are opposite to each other, exuding a fierce aura, yellow and dark color form a sharp contrast, between the electric light and stone fire, the yellow figure has flashed behind the dark man, the soft sword in his hand has been wrapped around the neck, the blade as thin as a cicada's wings is deeply sunk into the skin, and the blood is like the core of a poisonous snake winding down.

What is the emperor doing? It really scared me so much! It is said that Emperor Yuli is gentle and gentle on weekdays, and the people are concerned about the dawn, and the people are concerned about the world, and they are the good emperors of the ages, why is it so abnormal today? Instead, it threatens the lives of ordinary people? ”

The man in Xuanyi didn't care, he used his fingers to move the soft sword away little by little, just left a little, and instantly retracted it, his throat suddenly tightened, his face was full of surprise, his face was full of surprise, his breathing gradually became difficult, and his face was like a blue color: "Cough... Cough... Your Majesty.." A pair of hands pulled indiscriminately, but could not break a single gap, and soon his hands were full of blood, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if they were about to burst out at the extreme.

"Want to live?"

"Uh... Uh-uh.."

Then take my words back as they are, and know how to stop in moderation! I am not as gentle as the rumored emperor, I also have a temper! This time, I only captured two of her men. If there is a next time, I will go there in person! ”

After speaking, he let go of the soft sword in his hand, the man in the dark clothes rolled his eyes, knelt on the beam, coughed for a long time, and then relieved himself, covered his chest with one hand, and got up and looked at him in embarrassment: "Ahem, cough, I will pass on the emperor's words." Thanks a lot.. Thank you for the emperor's grace not to kill! ”

"Huh? Capital sins can be avoided and living sins cannot be escaped! I'm not that easy to talk to. ”

A dagger glittering with cold light was thrown in front of him, the meaning was already very clear, if you wanted to leave safely, you had to leave something here... The man in Xuanyi trembled and picked up the dagger, and slashed his left hand, covering the bleeding wound, staggering a few jumps and disappearing into the darkness...

"The Emperor"

The wind appeared silently behind Liang Qi, looking coldly at the severed hand on the beam of the house, without a trace of emotion on his face: "The emperor wants to send someone to monitor?" Liang Qi looked up at the sky, the lack of moon hung dredging tongs, and the initial silence of the person was missed, "For the time being, it is not necessary, someone with a word is a warning, and it is enough to be vigilant as usual."

"And this severed hand?"

"Take it and feed the dogs"

Gently pushed open the wooden door, a candle was lit outside, and the warm light sprinkled on the ground reflected a figure, Liang Qi looked at Chu Xiang's little feet stretched out outside the futon and knew that the kitten was not honest again! The big hand gently stroked her little feet, and it was really cold, stuffed back into the futon, picked up the soup woman who kicked aside, tested the temperature, turned around and added some water to the corner of the quilt to prevent her from kicking it away again.

"My kitten is really not worry-free"

When Liang Qi tied her loose clothes, he suddenly found that there was a faint trace on her right shoulder, which seemed to be plum blossoms and indentations, and he touched it lightly and didn't find anything, could it be Xiang'er's birthmark? I didn't notice it before... Afraid that she would catch a cold, he didn't pay attention to it, and after tying it, he also lay down and hugged her in his arms, and with a wave of his big hand, the only candle flame was instantly extinguished.

"Sleep, I'll take you home tomorrow"

———

In the early morning of the second day, Chu Xiang felt that his heart was in a panic in his heart, his body seemed to be pressed by a boulder, and he couldn't move, his hands and feet didn't break free, he used all his strength to open his eyes, and he saw a person lying on his chest, and the reason why he couldn't move in the dream was clear, Chu Xiang was so uncomfortable that he had to reach out to push Liang Qi

"Your Majesty? The emperor will wake up soon."

"Hmm.. Rongcheng? I won't go to court today! Don't bother..."

Chu Xiang sighed helplessly, and the appointed person endured the pain on his body and looked at the top of the tent to think about things, the abbot... He should have wanted to come and tell her that he was in danger, but he died on the way he came... Could it be that the sun chasing in her hands is really so terrifying? A-Niang died for this, and everyone in Jing'an Temple also... Does it really have to be destroyed to be quelled?

While thinking about it, three special birdsongs suddenly came from the window, and Chu Xiang immediately recognized them. This is Ye Xueqing! Her birdsong sounded very similar to the other birds, but she could hear the doorway, the west side of the bamboo forest. That's what those three chirps meant, why is she here?

Chu Xiang didn't want to get up at this time and there was no way, seeing that it was almost dawn, although Liang Qi didn't go to court, he would never sleep until the sun hung high, she had to rush over immediately! But how could he move when he slept so dead? After looking up and down with bright eyes, he had an idea in his heart, and tried to reach out and gently scratch his armpit, once, twice, three times. Sure enough, Liang Qi let go of his hand as soon as the corners of his mouth raised, seized the opportunity to retreat, and then took a soft pillow and stuffed it into his arms

Everything happened too fast, Chu Xiang was still sweating, put on embroidered shoes, and when he opened the door, he saw that Ayu had been waiting at the door for a long time, "Niangniang, but do you want to freshen up?"

"Shhh Would you like to have some breakfast? ”

Chu Xiang was thinking about Ye Xueqing's affairs, so he instructed her: "This palace still wants to walk around the bamboo forest, so there is no need to prepare breakfast, if the emperor asks, he will say that this palace will go to choose Qingzhu for my brother to make a flute."

Ayu nodded stupidly in agreement, and then suddenly remembered that something was not quite right. Mother, but you want to go alone?! Don't do it! If the emperor knows about it, the slave and maid will be finished! ”

Chu Xiang covered her mouth and whispered, "Why are you shouting so loudly? The palace is just walking, and besides, this post station is surrounded by the emperor's guards and there is the wind on them, how can there be anything in the palace? ”

"You can follow what the palace just said, and the palace will come back in a moment."

Ayu nodded aggrievedly, "That Niangniang wears more clothes, the bamboo forest in the morning is cold, don't be infected with the wind cold" Chu Xiang finally wore the big cover of the winter, holding the soup woman in his hand, and his steps were a little clumsy, and the guards on both sides of the corridor were about to shout at Niangniang when they saw her, so frightened that she waved her hand again and again to signal that it didn't have to be like this! Such a loud noise, even if Liang Qi slept well, should be woken up, and then it would be difficult for her to go out alone.

According to the meaning of Ye Xueqing's birdsong, he walked to the west side of the bamboo forest, and when he was looking around, he was pressed on his shoulder, and when he turned his head sharply, he saw Ye Xueqing, who was wearing a light green brocade robe, standing behind him with a smile, "Girl, you maid is very careful, even the winter cover and soup woman are ready!" It seems that I have taken good care of you, so I am relieved."

Chu Xiang looked at her and was dressed as a man again, and asked puzzledly, "Why do you always pretend to be a man?" But what's the difficulty? ”

Ye Xueqing laughed and hooked her chin like a swinger, "Master likes it, can't you?" Little lady Looking at her smile, she suddenly remembered the previous dream, and the woman who seemed to be Ye Xueqing in the dream was also wearing a man's robe, grabbed her frantically and asked, "Are you my sister?" He looked so crazy and now remembered that the hairs on his body trembled.

"You say okay, then do it, do you have something important to tell me about coming today?"

Ye Xueqing took a small bamboo out of nowhere, squatted down and sketched on the soil for a long time, Chu Xiang stood behind her, carefully looked at the thing she painted, and after seeing the whole picture, the soup woman in her hand instantly fell to the ground, the plug staggered, and the hot water inside slowly flowed into the soil.

"How?! Why do you know? ”

Ye Xueqing got up and inserted the bamboo into the ground casually "It's not a coincidence that you went to Jing'an Temple, someone did it on purpose. Rong Ting is the introduction of that person, using her to make you leave the Forbidden Palace and lose the protection of the emperor, so that you will be killed in Jing'an Temple! ”

She frowned and said, "They calculated that the emperor would send someone to protect them, and after learning that it was the Four Shadow Guards, they put their minds at ease and used their strength to deal with the Four Shadow Guards, which should be more than enough. But they didn't expect that person to appear in Jing'an Temple and disrupt all their plans! ”

Chu Xiang followed her train of thought, and the expression on his face gradually became surprised, "The person you said is..."

"That's right, it's Yan Hong. They must have an eye in the palace to know that he has not left to ensure the success of the mission."

Chu Xiang suddenly remembered something, "Then according to what you said, why did Yan Hong in the palace appear here again? Could it be... Scapegoat? Ye Xueqing nodded, "The Four Shadow Guards are inseparable, even if they are on a mission alone, the rest of them will be in the dark. Yan Hong should have changed his identity with his third child and asked him to replace him in the palace. And he himself followed you to Jing'an Temple..."

As you said, there must be spies in the imperial city, can the emperor know? If it's that serious, you can't ignore it."

Ye Xueqing sighed, didn't know whether to say it or not, shook her hands, and finally said it, "Their target is not the emperor, but you. Did the abbot tell you about chasing the sun? As soon as Amaterasu appears, the world will be in chaos. If my guess is correct, the emperor should know about this, so he will protect you everywhere..."

Chu Xiang frowned and thought but didn't have any eyebrows, since she married into the palace, Liang Qi has always taken care of her in every way, according to what his brother said, he is a man worthy of entrusting his life, everything depends on her, even if it is very excessive, he will not refuse. said that it was protection, but it was like taking care, how could Liang Qi know about it? Could it be... He is also connected to the matter?

Ye Xueqing seemed to hear something, and picked up the soup woman on the ground and put it in her hand "I'll go first, remember, the people around you may not be trustworthy!" Be careful! With that, he vanished, leaving a bamboo stuck in the dirt...

Xiang'er! Why don't you wake me up! If you want to find Qingzhu for Ake, let Rongcheng go! ”

Liang Qi walked over with an unhappy face, grabbed her cold little hand, took out a soup woman from his arms, and stuffed it into his hand, Chu Xiang thought about Ye Xueqing's words, and looked at Liang Qi's heart in a mess, "The emperor laughed, my brother bought clothes for the concubine, and the concubine wanted to back up the gift to her brother, but yesterday I saw that this bamboo forest was growing densely, so I wanted to find a green bamboo to make a flute."

"Hehe, there are good flutes in the palace, I went back to find one for him, Xiang'er's hands are so cold, don't stay here for a long time, let's go back to breakfast with me"

Liang Qi hugged her with one hand and walked forward, the corners of his eyes were full of coldness, the bamboo on the ground knew at a glance that it was broken by a person with internal strength, who Xiang'er saw when he came here...
