It was late at night.

The palace maid stood behind Zhang Yan and yawned softly. Listening to the sound outside, seeing that Zhang Yan was still holding an ancient book and still reading it with relish, she couldn't help but secretly admire the master's perseverance.

Is a broken book that good-looking?

Ruyun was deeply suspicious, and she whispered: "Niangniang, it's time to rest for the third watch." ”

Zhang Yan raised her head, her gaze seemed to fall somewhere in the outer hall through the drape, and muttered, "Is it so late?" Well, this book is very interesting, I want to read it for a while. Ruyun, you don't have to wait here, go to sleep. ”

Ruyun heard this, and hurriedly shook his head, "How can that work?" The maid has to accompany the mother. ”

Zhang Yan smiled lightly and said, "It's so late, I don't need you to accompany me here." You know, I often have to read late in the evening. ”

Ruyun listened, thought about it, clenched his powder fist, took out the posture of loyal protector, and shook his head resolutely: "No." Something happened in the palace today, the mother is alone, how can the maid rest assured. ”

Zhang Yan heard Ruyun say this, her heart was moved, her eyes fell to a certain place again, put down the book, got up and pushed Ruyun to walk out of the hall, urging as she walked: "Fool, I know that Ruyun is the most loyal." It's just that you don't want to think about it, the emperor sent a team of guards to guard Ciqing Palace, I'm here, what can happen! Don't think about it, go to sleep. ”

Ruyun was pushed to the outer hall by Zhang Yan, thinking that what Zhang Yan said was not unreasonable, in the evening, there was indeed an extra team of palace guards outside the Ciqing Palace, and it was said that the emperor was concerned about the safety of Empress Yi'an, and specially arranged it. Thinking that there were palace guards guarding the outside of the palace, Ruyun was completely relieved. persuaded Zhang Yan to rest early, and was repeatedly urged by Zhang Yan. She closed the door of the temple and went to her own bedroom in the side room to rest.

Zhang Yan stood in the center of the outer hall. After a moment of silence, he slowly returned to his inner room, sat down and continued to read.

Xu Liang on the beam saw all the movements below, and after seeing that Zhang Yan was the only one in the entire Ciqing Palace, and the palace doors were closed, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that as long as Zhang Yan also slept, he would be able to escape from Ciqing Palace.

Thinking like this, Xu Liang suddenly had a little energy. Wait patiently. Through the veil-like drape, Xu Liang looked at Queen Yi'an, who was sitting at the table, holding her cheek in one hand and holding a book in the other, reading carefully, and the candlelight on the table reflected the figure of Meng Wei, Xu Liang looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but sigh: In the inner courtyard of the deep palace, you can meet a lady who reads so seriously! This tranquil figure. It's really obsessive.

Xu Liang hoped in his heart that Zhang Yan would turn off the lights and rest earlier, but Zhang Yan was addicted to reading and had no intention of closing the book at all.

Half an hour!

An hour!

Just when Xu Liang's upper and lower eyelids began to fight, suddenly. Xu Liang felt that the room was brighter, and he couldn't help but be startled, and carefully hid himself. Looking at the bright light reflected on the roof, Xu Liang didn't need to look at it to know. It must be Zhang Yan from the inner hall, who has already walked to the outer hall with a candle flame.

Xu Liang didn't know that there was a third watch in the middle of the night, she didn't read or sleep at all. Walk to the outer temple and do something. He lay motionless on the beam, quietly listening to the movement below.

Zhang Yan held a candle in her hand, tilted her head, stared at the largest and thickest beam on the roof without blinking, looking back and forth, her eyes were full of curiosity and admiration, as if it was embroidered with flowers.

She didn't speak, and Xu Liang didn't dare to move.

After quietly standing up for a cup of tea, Zhang Yan finally felt that it was tiring to stare at a place with her head tilted up like this, so she withdrew her gaze, sighed lightly, and said, "You have been hiding on the beam for so long, aren't you tired?" ”

Xu Liang was so shocked that he almost rolled off the beam.

What's going on? Who is she talking to? Did she find me?

Xu Liang breathed his breath, and before the situation was clear, he didn't dare to move anymore.

"Alas!" Zhang Yan sighed again, walked to the side lightly, put the candle flame on the table, and sat down gently. He slowed down his voice and said again, "You come down." This palace knows that you were also framed, and this palace forgives you for your innocence. ”

There was still no movement on the beam.

Zhang Yan waited for a while, glared at Liang Shang, couldn't help but be a little angry, and snorted lightly and threatened: "This palace counts to three, if you don't get down from the beam again, this palace will call people!" ”

There was no movement on the beams.

Zhang Yan's lips opened lightly, and she spit out a word coldly.

"One!"

Waited for a moment.

"Two!!"

After waiting for a few more moments, Zhang Yan stood up and stared at Liang Shang in annoyance.

"Three ......"

"Wait!"

The black shadow flashed, and there was a soft bang, and Xu Liang rolled down from the beam helplessly, and staggered back a few steps before stabilizing himself when he fell to the ground.

"Spare your life, mother!"

As soon as he stood still, Xu Liang lowered his head and bowed his hands, shouting in a low voice for mercy. Don't dare to shout loudly, for fear of inviting others.

Seeing Xu Liang jumping down from the beam, Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Just listening to Xu Liang screaming for spare his life as soon as he landed, Zhang Yan was a little angry.

What does this man mean? Death hiding on it is worried that I will harm him?

Zhang Yanfeng's eyes twisted, looked at the gentleman in front of her, glanced twice, suddenly sighed, pointed at Xu Liang and said, "You...... You're not the who, who's the one? ”

"Guanglu Temple Qing Xu Liang!"

"Yes!" Zhang Yan nodded violently, "The youngest official in the court!" Zhang Yan confirmed Xu Liang's identity and couldn't help but feel more relieved. Xu Liang is a Guanglu Siqing, and there are many opportunities to be active in the palace, and Zhang Yan, as a palace lady, naturally knows this young Guanglu Siqing. It's just that she has a quiet temperament, and she rarely participates in banquets in the palace, so Xu Liang is the first time to know this former queen.

Looking at Xu Liang's strange posture, tiptoeing, his center of gravity dropping, and his face tangled, Zhang Yan turned her eyes and suddenly laughed.

Xu Liang hid on the beam for a day, his whole body was stiff, and after he landed, his legs were like tens of thousands of ants crawling, and he was sour and numb, and he was enduring hardship, and suddenly saw Zhang Yan smiling, and couldn't help but ask blankly: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Zhang Yan said: "You stayed motionless on it for a day. Are your legs numb? If it's numb, don't hold on to it. ”

Xu Liang suddenly felt like he had met a bosom friend. He didn't give up his hand anymore, and stood in place and kicked and jumped wildly. Hands and feet are patted together, which is no different from the treasure show on the street.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan smiled even more cheerfully, but she was worried about waking up the other subordinates in Ciqing Palace, so she covered her mouth with both hands, suppressed her laughter and bent over.

When Xu Liang slapped his whole body and finally felt that his limbs were normal, he looked up and saw Zhang Yan's smiling face like a flower, and her chest was undulating. The flowers and branches tremble, and there is no image of it.

Where is Zhang Yan in front of her, who still has the dignified and serious attitude of Queen Yi'an, she is clearly a young girl who encounters happy things and laughs happily!

Xu Liang was stunned for a while.

"You're smiling so beautifully."

Xu Liang subconsciously said such a sentence.

"Heh......" Zhang Yan listened, her face turned red, she stopped laughing, her face tightened, and she glared at Xu Liang: "What nonsense!" ”

Xu Liang also realized that he had said the wrong thing. The woman in front of her is not an ordinary person, but a dignified queen. It's not just a joke.

In order to hide his embarrassment, Xu Liang lowered his head and bowed, thanking him: "Niangniang understands righteousness and raises her noble hand." Do not investigate the crime of the subordinate official who mistakenly broke into the deep palace. Niangniang's great kindness, the lower officials will remember it in their hearts, and they will be rewarded in the future! ”

Let's talk about it. Xu Liang gave a deep salute, knowing that this place should not stay for a long time. Turn around and leave.

was about to push open the door of the palace, but Zhang Yan behind him shouted: "Stop!" ”

Finished. This woman is going to change her mind! Xu Liang said secretly, turned back slowly, and said with a sneer: "What else does Niangniang have to say?" ”

Xu Liang has already made up his mind in his heart, if this Zhang Yan wants to open his mouth to call people, he will definitely use his whole body cultivation, thirty-six strategies, and go as the best plan. Presumably, with his current skills, the palace guards who are waiting for leisure will definitely not be able to stop him.

Zhang Yan couldn't help but feel angry when she saw Xu Liang's whole body tense and ready to run away at any time. Glancing at the outside of the palace, Zhang Yan snorted lightly and said, "There is a team of guards guarding outside the palace, so Lord Xu is planning to go out so swaggeringly?" ”

Xu Liang was shocked: "When I came, there wasn't even a eunuch in this Ciqing Palace!" When did you get an extra squad of guards?! ”

When Zhang Yan heard this, her face was slightly red, Xu Liang said that there was not even a eunuch in Ciqing Palace, wouldn't she be a joke for her, Queen Yi'an?

Glaring at Xu Liang, Zhang Yan said: "After the accident during the day, the emperor and the two scholars also rushed over after hearing the news. Sending guards was suggested by Elder Wen Ge to the emperor. ”

Xu Liang knew in his heart, sneered, and pouted: "This old guy is so arranged, he must not have any good intentions!" Hmph, this incident, in my opinion, is probably the ghost of this old guy! Then he started to worry again, "There are guards guarding outside the palace, and it will be difficult to get out!" If I don't show up tomorrow morning, with Wen Tiren's urine, he will definitely not let me feel better. ”

Zhang Yan took a sip, "Lord Xu...... How can it be so vulgar! ”

Xu Liang scratched his head in embarrassment, thinking that he couldn't go out smoothly, and it was not appropriate to stand there and walk, and it was not appropriate to stay, so he was distressed.

Zhang Yan threw over an object and said, "Next." ”

Xu Liang took it, looked at it, and saw that it was a bundle of women's clothes, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "What is this for?" ”

Zhang Yan raised her chin and said with a smile: "Put it on, and this palace will lead you out." ”

“……”

Half an hour later, the door of the main hall of Ciqing Palace opened slightly, Zhang Yan glanced outside, and then walked out lightly, followed by a tall palace maid.

The two slowly came to the main gate of Ciqing Palace, Zhang Yan glared at the palace maid behind her, and the palace maid lowered her head slightly, stood behind Zhang Yan, and followed out.

Outside the palace gate, there is a team of palace guards. The captain of the guard was dozing off in a daze, and was suddenly patted by the guards beside him, and suddenly woke up, and was surprised to see Empress Yi'an walking to the gate of the palace, and hurriedly bowed his hand.

"I've seen my mother!"

"Hmm!" Zhang Yan put on the majesty of her mother, hummed softly, and then replied, and then did not squint, and said coldly: "I can't sleep at night in this palace, and I want to take a walk around here." ”

The captain of the guard said flatteringly: "Yu Niangniang, the road is not easy to walk at night, so I sent someone to follow Niangniang." ”

"No need!" Zhang Yan said: "The palace is near this Ciqing Palace, and you are not comfortable following the palace." ”

When the captain of the guard heard this, he nodded and retreated, for the palace maid behind Zhang Yan, the captain of the guard glanced at it and stopped paying attention, after all, the meaning above was very clear, as long as he paid attention to whether there were any strange men coming out in the Ciqing Palace.

Zhang Yan walked along the road unhurriedly, stopped at a corner, and looked at the palace maid behind her, Zhang Yan chuckled and quipped: "I can't see it, Lord Xu is really a little similar to the palace maid." ”

Xu Liang smiled bitterly: "Niangniang, don't make fun of me." Being able to come out this time depends on the mother, and the great grace is not grateful. I...... I'm leaving. ”

Zhang Yan was silent for a moment, and when she saw Xu Liang turn around, she stopped and said, "Xu Liang! ”

Xu Liang looked at her.

Zhang Yan pursed her lips, straightened her face, and said, "Tonight's matter, you rot in the stomach for this palace!" Dare to leak half a word, this palace, this palace will punish you nine clans! ”

Xu Liang paused, arched his hand, and said, "I know." ”

After Xu Liang and Zhang Yan separated, he avoided the patrolling guards in the palace, chose a no-man's corner, changed into the palace maid's clothes, and then carefully waited for the dawn.

Yushi Huangdao entered the Jinluan Hall on Monday, saw Xu Liang, ran over in a few steps, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, are you okay?" ”

Xu Liang shook his head lightly, signaling Huang Daozhou not to make a noise, and to talk about everything after the dynasty dispersed.

Cabinet Wen Tiren saw Xu Liang standing in the hall at first glance, and he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth for a while. Pacing in front of Xu Liang, staring at Xu Liang condescendingly, in a cold tone, he said softly: "Lord Xu came early?" ”

"It's a little bit earlier than the old pavilion." Xu Liang was not to be outdone, and replied with an expressionless face.

Wen Tiren snorted coldly, approached Xu Liang, and coldly threatened: "The old man sent someone to keep an eye on the Dongjiang Courtyard, you didn't come out of the Courtyard at all this morning." Hmm, I see that your eyes are bloodshot, yawning, listless, I'm afraid you haven't done anything good, right? Didn't you go as a thief in the middle of the night? ”

Xu Liang glared at Wen Tiren and said, "Where did this official come from, it's your business!" Hmph, even if the official is a thief, the first person to patronize must be your family. ”

Wen Tiren didn't care about Xu Liang's words, glanced at Xu Liang deeply, and sneered: "Lord Xu wants to be an ordinary thief, it would be too condescending." With Lord Xu's heavenly attitude, if you want to be a thief, you must be the most elegant thief! For example...... Thief of the Heart! Stealing jade and stealing incense, envying others! ”

Xu Liang was awe-inspiring in his heart, and Wen Tiren had something to say in his words, which meant something. Xu Liang watched vigilantly as Wen Tiren stood leisurely at the forefront of the courtiers.

After the court meeting dispersed, Xu Liang pulled Huang Daozhou and left, hurriedly returned to the Dongjiang Courtyard, gathered a few henchmen to confess, explained a few words to Feng Suqin and Lou Xian'er, hurriedly picked up two bowls of rice porridge, threw himself on the soft and comfortable bed, and began to do the most important thing: make up for sleep.
