In the dark grove, the hazy moonlight shone on the two of them through the gaps in the leaves.

The tall general hugged the petite man in his arms, his eyes focused and deep.

Almond's delicate and beautiful face showed a stunned look at this time, and the slightly open lips took a moment to close.

Li Chen knows that she is a woman?

As for how she knew, she immediately thought of the unusual movement on the roof during a night of bathing.

"You were the one who peeked at me bathing on the roof that day?"

Li Chen coughed and cleared his throat.

"How can that be considered voyeurism? It's just a passing by. ”

This is an admission of her problem.

But this excuse ......

"Passing by?" Almond asked incredulously, "Who can run to someone else's roof when they pass by?" ”

Li Chen broke the jar and said: "You saw my Living Spring Palace, I watched you take a bath, you don't lose, let's settle the two!" ”

Almond angry, "Do you think I want to see your Living Spring Palace?" If I don't tell you, let me go, or Your Majesty will find you and you won't have any good fruit to eat. ”

As she spoke, she twisted and tried to get out of Li Chen's arms.

Li Chen hissed softly, as if he had been stimulated by something, and rubbed his big palm wantonly on her.

"Shhhh

The voice was dark and hoarse, with an indescribable ambiguity.

Almond's face turned red with anger, and he was willing to listen to him, and he struggled even more.

"Who is it?"

The movement here was a bit loud, and not far away, Sheng Guangji's eyes were clear, and he looked straight behind the tree where Almond and Li Chen were hiding.

Qin Yin's face also became flustered, and he asked nervously in a low voice.

"Is anyone eavesdropping?"

Sheng Guangji gave her a look and told her to calm down.

"You go back first."

Kotone nodded, looked left and right, and ran down another path with her skirt in hand.

Almond didn't see this scene, and after Sheng Guangji spoke, she had already hidden herself tightly, and honestly didn't dare to move.

Li Chen also restrained a lot, and both of them quieted down, paying attention to the movement outside.

Since that loud shout, the whole grove has been silent, and no one has spoken.

Almond listened with bated breath, only the rustle of the leaves could be heard.

What about Sheng Guangji and the Qinyin people?

Why is there no movement at all, is it already gone?

Almond was a little puzzled, and was about to poke his head out to take a look, but suddenly his mouth was covered and his waist was hugged, and then a feeling of weightlessness came.

If she hadn't covered her mouth, she thought she would have screamed by now.

After a whirlwind, the almond eyes finally stopped spent, and when they fixed their eyes, they were already standing on the branches.

Looking down again, Sheng Guangji had slowly paced to the tree.

Then he suddenly struck, and a silver light streaked across the place where they had just stayed.

Since they were gone, the silver light didn't hit anything, but plunged straight into the bark.

Almond looked at the dagger that had almost completely sunk into the bark, and his heart palpitated.

If they hadn't left, if they had been two seconds late, the dagger would have gone through her chest instead of in the bark.

Almond was afraid for a while, held his breath, and didn't even dare to come out.

Looking at Sheng Guangji through the hazy moonlight, a handsome face was expressionless at this time, only a slight frown was furrowed.

He looked at the dagger for a long time, as if wondering if he had misjudged, and after a while, he pulled out the dagger and turned to walk out of the woods.

Before Almond could breathe a sigh of relief, he paused when he saw Sheng Guangji, who was about to walk out of the forest.

Li Chen reacted very quickly and jumped to the other branch with her, hiding behind the trunk, blocking Sheng Guangji's probing sight again.

Sheng Guangji looked at the empty forest, and his doubts were still undiminished, but he couldn't find any trace of others, so he had to leave here quickly.

The two of them stayed in the tree for a while, and only after making sure that Sheng Guangji would not return again, did they jump off the tree.

Almond was afraid that Li Chen would entangle her again, so she quickly pushed him away and ran out quickly.

After such a long time, His Majesty must be gone.

Sure enough, out of the woods, the place where she had been waiting was empty.

Almond was about to go back to the banquet, and as soon as he approached, he met Sheng Jingyu, who came out to find someone.

"Where have you been?" Sheng Jingyu frowned.

Almond pretended to be fine, and said nonsense: "I have some stomach discomfort and also went to the toilet." ”

Sheng Jingyu did not suspect it, and the banquet was only halfway through, and the two sat back on the table.

For the rest of the day, Almonds were a little absent-minded.

She secretly observed Sheng Guangji's direction, and saw that he was still sipping tea as usual, occasionally eating some pastries, and looking very gentle and elegant.

I couldn't tell where he had just gone or what he had done, as if he had never left.

After the feast, Almond returned to Xueyang Palace and silently packed up his precious things.

She had already taken off the jade pendant around her neck, and she was thinly dressed in spring, and she was afraid that others would recognize the origin of this jade pendant.

Looking at this jade pendant at this time, Almond thought about it and put it in the package.

Looking at Song Ran's appearance, he shouldn't need this jade pendant for the time being.

"Niangniang, are you going to leave the palace?"

Cuizhu watched from the sidelines, very puzzled.

Almond nodded, and before he could explain, Sheng Jingyu came in from outside.

"Where are you going?"

Almond greeted him, smiled sweetly, grabbed his cuff and shook it.

"Your Majesty, I haven't been home for a long time, and I want to go home to see my mother and brother."

"How long will it take to go back?"

She is going to Lingqiu the day after tomorrow, and she will go home tomorrow to have a look and explain the situation to her mother and brother.

So......

"About two days."

Almond said tentatively, but looked at Sheng Jingyu and frowned, and quickly changed his words.

"One day."

Sheng Jingyu's brows furrowed, as if he could still accept this answer.

"Okay, I'll send someone to take you back tomorrow."

"yes, okay."

Anyway, Li Sheng has already agreed to help her, and there is no need to worry about what happens after leaving the palace.

It's just that this is her last night in the palace, and she still feels a little uncomfortable thinking that she may never see Sheng Jingyu again in the future.

"Your Majesty."

Almond called softly, and then took the rare initiative to hug Sheng Jingyu.

Sheng Jingyu smiled at the corner of her mouth, reached out and touched her head.

"What's wrong?"

Almond's hairy head shook in his arms and called again.

"Your Majesty."

Sheng Jingyu said helplessly: "If there is anything, you can say it directly." ”

The tone was full of pampering.

Almonds actually like to be treated so gently, like ......

She's what a squeamish and fragile treasured antique.

"Your Majesty, I just wanted to shout to you."

Seeing Sheng Jingyu's puzzled face, Almond laughed again and shouted many times in a row.

"Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty—hmm!"

Looking at Sheng Jingyu's magnified handsome face in front of her, she swallowed all her reluctance into her stomach and only enjoyed this moment quietly.
