Chapter Ninety-Six: The Unexpected Way Back to the Palace
The snow was lit with Qihui's cinnabar, smiling like a flower, and his heart was beautiful, he looked up and found Sima Cheng stunned there, Xue stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him, but he didn't see any reaction, his eyes showed a puzzled look, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and came up with an idea.
So, Xue Ye hurriedly reached out to dip in the water, melted away the red mud, sat up straight, approached Sima Cheng, and also helped Sima Cheng to put on cinnabar moles.
Sima Cheng, who had lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, suddenly felt the approach of the snow, his body shook, he raised his head suddenly, a trace of panic crossed his eyes, and before the snow could react, Sima Cheng had already stood up, walking like flying, and strode towards the outer courtyard.
Sima Cheng suddenly brushed her sleeves and got up, Xue didn't sit down all of a sudden, she sat on the ground, Xue pouted, a little annoyed, she cocked her fingers stained with red mud, rubbed her buttocks, and was about to ask Sima Cheng well, what was going on just now, but as soon as she raised her head, she only saw Sima Cheng's figure gradually moving away.
Seeing that she was the only one left in the inner courtyard, at this time, the snoring sounds around her became more and more frequent, Xue couldn't help but be scared, she was still counting on Sima Cheng when she returned to the palace! So, Xue hurriedly put away the mud balls, got up, and chased after Sima Cheng.
Sima Cheng didn't know what was going on just now, and after walking to the outer courtyard alone, his mood gradually calmed down, and the movements under his feet slowed down, thinking about it, puzzled, and then sighed.
Suddenly, the snow rushed out from behind him, Sima Cheng was a head above the snow, the snow jumped, and clicked on Sima Cheng's face, leaving a red mark, Sima Cheng was startled and stopped completely.
Seeing that the plan had succeeded, Xue looked back and smiled proudly, and found that the position of the cinnabar mole was impartial, and it happened to fall on Sima Cheng's nose, coupled with Sima Cheng's inappropriate clothes, Xue really couldn't help laughing, so he covered his mouth and ran out.
Sima Cheng touched the place where the snow had just touched, and found that his hands were stained with red, and when he raised his head again, he saw that the snow had already run away in smoke, and out of the habit of personal guards, he immediately quickened his pace and chased out.
Finally, Sima Cheng caught up with the snow on the street of Guozixue, Sima Cheng grabbed the snow, with a little worry in his phoenix eyes, and whispered:
"Your Majesty, please don't act on your own."
Xue looked up and saw the red spot on the tip of Sima Cheng's nose, she couldn't help it, leaned over to cover her mouth, laughed, and finally couldn't even straighten her waist.
Sima Cheng was puzzled, and when he saw that the snow was no longer running, he let go of his hand, straightened up, and stood aside, with a helpless look on his face. When Xue had laughed enough, he waved his hand and said:
"Haha...... I'm really sorry...... I...... I'm not going to run around......" Xue gasped, raised her head, looked at Sima Cheng, smiled, and raised her hand to help him wipe off the red mud.
This time, Sima Cheng reacted quickly, and his head skimmed slightly, making the snow flutter.
Xue was a little displeased, and seeing that Sima Cheng did not accept her kindness, she put down her hand and said coldly:
"What do you think I'm going to do! Don't forget it...... Wipe the red mud off your nose well. ”
After speaking, he turned around and walked in the direction of the palace, Sima Cheng heard this, and while wiping his nose, he kept up with the pace of the snow.
The two of them walked one after the other, walking on the deserted street, without speaking, Xue hesitated and rubbed her fingers, thinking about how she could thank Sima Cheng for tonight's "adventure".
Thinking about it, Xue suddenly noticed the shadows of the two, Qifeng Town is a small town, it turns out that when Xue is in the bookstore, every day the sky gets dark, and the lights are on, the street becomes deserted, Xue is cautious, and never dares to go out at night, this is the first time she wanders the street so late.
Sima Cheng is long, the two of them are obviously one in front of the other, but only looking at the shadow, Sima Cheng is as tall as her, Xue stopped, waited for the two side by side, and found that he looked extraordinarily petite standing next to him, Xue Xin was unwilling, and accelerated his pace again, walking in front, until the shadows of the two looked the same high, Xue nodded with satisfaction.
But when the snow stopped, Sima Cheng followed, the shadow of the snow became petite again, the snow stopped, Sima Cheng followed again, repeated a few times, the snow felt bored, she motioned for Sima Cheng to go on, and she retreated to the position behind Sima Cheng, followed his back door, and her shadow was completely hidden by Sima Cheng's shadow.
Xue remembered that Sima Cheng had been aggressive several times, which made her at a loss, and remembered that she was usually not Sima Cheng's opponent, so she began to add up to Sima Cheng's shadow fists and kicks to express her dissatisfaction with Sima Cheng.
Sima Cheng heard the voice, suddenly stopped, turned around, and the snow was thumping the shadow on the ground, and found that when Sima Cheng stopped, it was too late, and it hit Sima Cheng's chest directly.
Xue rubbed his sore nose and glanced at Sima Cheng, only to see him frowning slightly, staring at Xue with deep eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Sima Cheng said faintly.
"Didn't do anything." Xue rubbed her nose and hurriedly bypassed Sima Cheng on her feet, striding to the front.
The snow walked fast, Sima Cheng continued to walk behind, the snow lowered his eyes, watching the shadows of the two of them go one after the other, longer and longer, Sima Cheng naturally did not make any small movements, and the two walked calmly for a while.
Xue walked in front, she didn't notice, in fact, at this time, the two were already very close to the palace, originally Sima Cheng should have taken her to take her into the palace from another inconspicuous place, but Sima Cheng looked down and thought about the previous things in the inner courtyard of Guozi School and was also distracted, until Xue's figure attracted the attention of the palace gate guards.
"Who is it that is wandering at the palace gates?" The roar broke the silent night sky, and the snow frightened a spirit, stopped, and forgot to run for a moment.
Sima Cheng in the back heard that an arrow step, grabbed Xue's shoulder, and quickly flashed to the back of a big tree next to him, Sima Cheng's body was covered by Xue's body, and the two were very close, plus covered by the shadow of the tree, at first glance, they would not notice.
"What do you see?" Another voice appeared, with tiredness in it.
When Xue heard this, her eyes widened and she held her breath in fright.
Sima Cheng looked up at the surrounding situation, there is a row of high walls not far from the two, and I don't know what the situation is inside, now there are trees blocking the two, even if the two are really discovered by the guards, the snow is the emperor, and the news may be able to be suppressed, but if Sima Cheng takes the snow over the high wall now, he is unlucky, and he is regarded as a thief by the people in the house, which will bring more trouble.
"I just saw a figure over there, I'll go take a look." A voice replied.
