Chapter Twenty-Three: Night Encounters
By the time he had taken care of his thoughts, the lights in Xiaoguo's bedroom had already been blown out, and the entire Cining Palace fell into silence.
He looked at the moon in the sky, touched the time for a while, moved his body, and disappeared into the night with a few jumps.
In the bamboo pavilion in the bamboo forest, there are people waiting there early.
Seeing Li Yi appear, he respectfully bowed: "I've seen His Royal Highness King Ding!" ”
It was a woman's voice.
Li Yi asked, "Is there any progress?" ”
The woman said: "Mama Wang's concealment is seamless, guarding the secret post where she reports, from the time she got the medicine to the time she sent the medicine, I didn't see her use this medicine in the middle, as if she really didn't know." ”
Li Yi sneered: "No matter how cunning the fox is, there will be a day when the tail is exposed!" Ask someone to keep watch, be careful not to expose it! Also, keep a close eye on people who have a lot of contact with her on a daily basis! ”
The woman bowed and said, "Yes." Does the Queen Mother still want to continue to monitor? ”
Li Yi said without hesitation: "No need, withdraw everyone!" Wait, from today onwards, you have to truthfully report to me what the Queen Mother has done every day! ”
He emphasized: "I have to report every day, no matter how big or small, if it's not convenient for me to come here, let the ash bring it to me!" ”
When the woman heard this, she said, "Huh? He sighed and said, "Your Highness, my subordinates feel that this matter has little to do with the Queen Mother." ”
Li Yi glanced at her coldly, and the woman hurriedly changed her words: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "You go, contact me as soon as there is news!" ”
The woman said, "Yes! ”
She turned into a string of phantoms and disappeared in a blink of an eye, obviously not weak!
Li Yi is still standing in the bamboo pavilion.
After a long time, he said to himself: "It seems that he is really good at witchcraft!" ”
Now the doubts in his heart are getting bigger and bigger, what is the magic power of the Queen Mother who has recovered from illness, so that Xiao Li Bai and the Queen Mother are willing to get close; Let the phantom, who has always been innocent and have little desire, intercede for it; Even for the sake of himself, he lost his mind...
The Queen Mother's consistent appearance gradually blurred in his heart, only in his mind, leaving a glimpse of the dance when she fell.
Before leaving the palace, he decided to take one last look at Cining Palace, this woman who haunted his mind like a mystery and fog.
He landed silently in front of the window of her bedroom, and the expected sound of even breathing did not appear, and a small and crackling sound came out continuously.
He was amazed, and just as he wanted to poke through the window paper to find out, the door was quietly opened.
Li Yi dodged and hid behind the pillars next to the window.
I saw a sneaky figure, tiptoeing out, carrying a package on her back, nimbly avoiding the patrolling palace people, and running towards the outside of the hall.
There are thieves? Wrong! It's her!
Li Yi followed without hesitation and quietly followed behind her.
I saw that she seemed to be looking for something, and tried all the paths she could.
Could it be that she is the mastermind behind the scenes?
For some reason, Li Yi was a little resistant to this idea in his heart.
At this time, Xiaoguo was about to go crazy in her heart, but she grinded her teeth and said hatefully: "Which fool who designed the road, it's the same as walking a maze!" Which way can lead to the outside of the palace! ”
Li Yi was stunned, she was finding the way to the palace!
Suddenly, she patted her head: "That's right! If you go in one direction, you will definitely find the palace wall, hum, it will be easy to find the palace wall! Hehe, I'm still that smart! ”
Li Yi was embarrassed.
"But in which direction? That's right! ”
Xiaoguo picked up a branch and threw it into the sky, then ran in the direction where the branch fell.
Li Yi wiped a few handfuls of cold sweat, silently followed behind her, and filtered the places he would pass by in this direction in his mind: bamboo forest, lotus pond, plum forest, inner wall, Jinluan Palace!
Not to mention that there are large internal guards near the Jinluan Palace, and even a fly can't get close, and even whether they can climb over the high inner wall is a big problem.
Passing through Merlin, over the small pond, Xiaoguo's eyes lit up the moment she saw the wall, and she happily ran over.
Then, Li Yi saw a scene that made him laugh.
I saw a petite figure, trying to climb the wall again and again with bare hands, stepping on stones, setting up wooden sticks, etc., and sliding down again and again.
Suddenly, she excitedly ran in one direction.
It turned out that not far from her climbing the wall, there was an old tree that was higher than the wall, and it seemed that she had a new idea!
She climbed up the tree with great difficulty, and slowly moved along the branches towards the wall, and she stretched out her hand and foot to measure the distance, as if she wanted to jump to the wall.
Li Yi watched worriedly, and she writhed around on the branches.
More than a foot away from the wall, she looked down at the ground far away, swallowed a few saliva, and let out a low wail.
Just when Xiaoguo was about to give up the plan and prepare to get off the tree, a chill suddenly hit her neck, Xiaoguo turned around, and saw a long red snake, entrenched behind her, and the red snake letter was about to touch the tip of her nose!
"Ahh She couldn't help but be shocked, screaming and falling to the ground.
Now it's dead, and the life of the rice worm is coming to an end! I think I'll be back to the world I used to be!
Xiaoguo closed her eyes in fright, the unexpected pain did not hit, and she fell into a warm embrace with the smell of fresh grass.
She opened her eyes in surprise, and a godly and handsome face came into her eyes, her eyes were like stars, her sword eyebrows were in her temples, she was as clear as a god, and her eyes were as cold as a pool, and she was anxious and worried at this time.
Li Yi saw her staring at him stunned, her ears were a little hot, and he was satisfied with his appearance for the first time.
There are such fresh and handsome people in the world, and the male stars in the last world are all scumbags in seconds compared to this person! Could it be the heavenly immortal nether? Xiaoguo thought in a trance.
Li Yi was also blinded by the embarrassment for the first time in his life, forgetting to let go of the person in his arms, and forgetting their identities with each other at this time.
I saw Li Yi holding Xiaoguo, maintaining a posture that had just landed, strangely motionless, looking at each other.
Xiaoguo's barking woke up the dogs with keen hearing, and also attracted the palace people on duty, and there were noisy footsteps in the distance to rush over, and several lights also shone in their direction.
Li Yi woke up like a dream, and hurriedly flashed into the dark shadow with Xiaoguo in his arms.
After the palace people checked and walked away, Xiaoguo jumped out of Li Yi's arms and said with a smile: "Thank you really just now." ”
Li Yi's arms and wrists were empty, and he felt a little lost in his heart, and he didn't speak.
Xiaoguo looked him up and down: "Handsome guy, where are you on an errand?" ”
She really lost her memory and forgot me! Li Yi thought, he still didn't speak.
If you look so good, you can't be dumb, right?
"Do you know me?" Xiaoguo stood on tiptoe unwillingly, trying to get closer to his face, trying to make him hear his words clearly.
As she got closer, Li Yi felt his heartbeat beat out of order, and he looked at her quietly, still not speaking.
That's right, if he knew me, he would have knelt down a long time ago, this world is beautiful, but there are more rules!
Ah, he didn't know that I was the Queen Mother, great! I finally have a chance to make friends! It's still a beautiful boyfriend who knows kung fu! Xiao Guo thought excitedly in his heart.
"You can't speak?" Xiaoguo smiled, trying to be gentle and not hurt his self-esteem, "Oh, no one is perfect, God closes a door for you, and he will open a window for you!" ”
She stepped on her feet and patted him on the shoulder with her hand: "Don't be sad, life is still good, it's worth looking forward to!" ”
She suddenly realized that maybe he was deaf and mute, and thinking of this, she said slowly and gesturing, "Thank you for saving me!" As a token of appreciation, I'm going to treat you to something to eat, okay? ”
After speaking, she naturally took Li Yi's hand and walked in the direction she came.
Her hands were small and soft, slightly cool, held by these small hands, Li Yi felt as if her whole body had been hit by electricity, crispy and numb but very comfortable.
His mind went blank, greedily enjoying the wonderful feeling, and let her pull him forward.
