It's night, and the moon is in the treetops.

A snow-white figure slowly and carefully came to the backyard of the palace along the corner of the wall, looking at the rockery jungle and lush vegetation in the backyard, the figure was looking for something, standing in place and looking around, or decided to climb the rockery, followed, took out the fireworks that had been carefully hidden in his arms, and polished the fire with flint.

'Rub' twice!

Two clusters of flames rose into the sky at once, bursting into a deep purple glow in the night, contrasting with the scattered starlight in the sky.

The movement of the rockery in the backyard soon aroused the idea of the Royal Forest Army, and when the Royal Forest Army heard the movement and ran as fast as possible, he saw a dirty half-grown child dressed in a silver-white brocade suit, because of his stubbornness and tossing his handsome little face, crying and chirping, showing a timid look, and how distressing it was.

Through the faint light of the fire in the courtyard and the light of the torches held by the Royal Forest Army, the identity of the little boy was immediately recognized.

I saw one of the Imperial Forest soldiers come out and say: "Isn't this the child who followed the crown princess, I heard that the crown princess is called sister, hey!" What are you doing here at night without sleeping? Also, you set off the fireworks? ”

Xiao Ruiyuan squatted on the top of the high rockery, stretched out his thin white fingers and tightly hugged a rockery standing in front of him, blinked his innocent eyes, and said in a weak voice: "Big brother, I can't get down." ”

As soon as he heard this, the Imperial Forest Army who came over noticed Xiao Ruiyuan's strange movements, he couldn't get up or down and was stuck in place, and his dirty little face was full of nervousness and fear; Isn't this a typical tragic appearance of a naughty child who can't get down after climbing high?

Seeing this scene, the Imperial Forest Army, who had been waiting for it solemnly, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Secretly said: It's also their cup bow snake shadow, too nervous, what else can a half-old child toss? Look at his current lifeless appearance, isn't he frightened?

The Imperial Forester, who spoke, looked back at his brothers beside him, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him tacitly, he understood what everyone meant; handed over the weapon in his hand to his brother, traveled lightly, quickly climbed to the rockery, clamped Xiao Ruiyuan into his arm, and quickly led people down the rockery.

Xiao Ruiyuan seemed to be a little frightened after getting off the rockery, standing in place with a snow-white face stunned, and there were two packs of tears in his already watery eyes, as if he might fall down at any time.

The guards present were all young men, and the oldest had only married his daughter-in-law last year; Now that they saw a half-old child crying in front of them in fear, they would not comfort anyone, they could only look at each other, or the Royal Forest Army who took Xiao Ruiyuan off the rockery spoke again and said, "Answer my previous question, why did you come here to set off fireworks?" Also, where did this fireworks come from? ”

You can't blame the Royal Forest Army for being too unkind to a child, obviously everyone is already scared like this, and they don't forget to chase a child to ask questions.

Xiao Ruiyuan listened to this question, like a child who had done something wrong, and immediately pursed his mouth, his dark eyes were like two big grapes, and he looked at the Royal Forest Army in front of him innocently and drippingly, and his voice was still weak: "Rui'er can't sleep, Rui'er wants to go to her sister, but her sister is injured and sick and can't be disturbed, Rui'er is afraid, just, just ......."

Speaking of this, the tears wrapped in his eyes seemed to be unable to bear the burden anymore, and they burst out of his eyes with a bang; The big ones fell down their cheeks, and they looked like they couldn't cry all the water in their bodies.

Seeing that the half-grown child was so frightened by them that he didn't even dare to speak, finally, a slightly weaker and soft-hearted Imperial Forester stood up and persuaded him: "Okay, the child is just playing with stubbornness and casually, so don't take it seriously, look at him like this, he is scared and trembling." ”

"However, Deputy Commander Song has explained, we must guard King Ling's Mansion well, and if any accident occurs, we can't be underestimated at will."

"Oh! Deputy Commander Song had told us not to underestimate what happened in King Ling's Mansion, but did he explain that we came to bully and ask a child? You see how old he is, a child of this age is when the skin monkey is reincarnated, and he is not willing to give you a little accident at all; Besides, don't forget his identity, I think his relationship with the crown princess is not simple, if we really arrest this child back and interrogate him properly, in case the crown princess knows, we will still have good fruits to eat? Okay, the entire Ling Wang's Mansion is surrounded by us, and in such a situation, even a fly wants to escape from our sight, are you still worried that this child will give us something? ”

After listening to the persuasion of the brothers around them, the other guards were a little loose; Yes, a half-year-old child, even climbing a rockery, is afraid of heights, crying and not daring to come down, this kind of guts, what can be tossed.

So, another Imperial Forest Army came out, and picked up Xiao Ruiyuan, who was standing in place covering his eyes and crying, and said, "I'll send this child back to rest, let's go back to our respective posts and continue to guard." ”

After speaking, Xiao Ruiyuan was hugged away, and the Imperial Forest Army who had originally surrounded them also scattered; Soon, the backyard of the palace immediately returned to quiet, as if the scene that had just happened was an illusion of a dream.

Xiao Ruiyuan obediently sat in the arms of the young general of the Imperial Forest Army who was hugging him, wrapped his arms around the neck of the young general, and buried his whole face in the crook of his arm, revealing a frightened and overly afraid to dodge, which was really distressing.

However, when no one noticed, Xiao Ruiyuan quietly raised his head and looked in a certain direction in the night sky, his face showing a calmness and calmness that did not belong to his age.

He carefully recalled the fireworks just now, the fireworks rose into the air, the fire trees and silver flowers, dazzling explosion in the night sky, it was difficult not to be noticed; Presumably, the person my sister is waiting for should be able to see it, and the next thing they have to do is to wait quietly, if nothing else, tonight, they will be able to leave King Ling's Mansion.

……

After Chu Xingyue took the medicine, she fell into a deep sleep.

But in her sleep, she was not at all restless, and the various dreams that kept coming at her seemed to tear her apart, so that even in her deep sleep, she could not help but let out a low groan of pain.

Just when she was in her dream and remembered the scene before Yuan Feng died, Chun Xing quietly walked in from outside with two tall figures; Taking advantage of the dim lights in the room, one of the figures quickly stepped forward, and when she looked at Chu Xingyue, who was lying on the bed and was weak, and the whole person seemed to have been fished out of the water, she couldn't help but whisper angrily: "It's really nonsense, even if the situation is urgent, she can't hurt her body like this, doesn't she know that in order to save people in Jeju City, her life span has been affected, and now she has finally recovered her body, and she has injured herself so badly, doesn't she want her own life?" ”

Chun Xing knelt beside the young lady's bed in distress, resisted the urge to cry, picked up the clean handkerchief on the side and gently wiped the sweat on Chu Xingyue's forehead, and said to the people behind her: "Master, don't blame Miss anymore, Miss is not only injured and feverish, but her heartache is even more serious; The real cause of Young Master Yuan Feng's death was known to Miss, and my family escaped from prison again, Miss was already exhausted, and it was not easy for her to survive until now. ”

Listening to Chunxing's words, the person who came snorted coldly and said, "I have long known that this man of the Zhao family will not be a good thing, Lao Tzu is a merciless person, and his son is not much better; Quick, help her up, I brought medicine, although it can't cure the disease, but it can also make her comfortable, so that she won't lose her life before she can resist leaving. ”

Although Chun Xing was not very satisfied with what the person said, she also knew that the two people in front of her were the only 'straw' that could save them from leaving, so after hearing this, she helped Chu Xingyue up without hesitation, and after watching the person who came feed the pill into Chu Xingyue's mouth, she fed Chu Xingyue two more mouthfuls of water, and waited for the result with anxious and worried eyes.

Sure enough, within half a pillar of incense, Chu Xingyue, who had been groggy all the time, finally opened her eyes, and after seeing clearly who the person in front of her was, Chu Xingyue struggled to sit up.

"Don't move now, just lie down like this."

Chu Xingyue's behavior was stopped, and she no longer struggled, but leaned into Chunxing's arms, looked at the two figures under the dim light, and showed self-deprecation on her face: "Master, I didn't expect you to really keep your promise and come here so quickly." ”

That's right, the people who appeared here at this moment were the two masters of Longquan Temple, Wuchen and Wushuang.

Wuchen looked at Chu Xingyue, whose face was very weak, and then thought of the movement outside King Ling's mansion, he couldn't help frowning, and asked, "What happened?" Why did it turn out like this in the blink of an eye? ”

Chu Xingyue smiled bitterly: "Master, this matter is a long story, wait for me to have a chance to tell you later." ”

"You don't want to mention more, I can guess a little, you are sick like this now, the person who should be guarding you has not appeared, you are now in this embattled posture, girl, you have always been smart, how could you toss yourself into this situation?"

Intelligent? She?

Chu Xingyue smiled and said, "No matter how smart a person is, he will make a mistake, but it just depends on who the person who makes her fall is it; Master, I won't hide it from you, I must leave the capital and return to Qingzhou as soon as possible, if Emperor Showa just wants to simply take back the military power in his father's hands, he will not force me and my eldest brother to this point, now that my eldest brother's whereabouts are unknown, I am trapped in the capital again; If my father had known about our situation, he would have been out of proportion. My father has been devoted to the peace of Great Wei all his life, and he should not be questioned and hurt by his loyal monarch in the land he loves the most. It's so unfair to him, and he's too pitiful. ”
