Chapter 17: Thrilling

While gently flipping through the drawers, Xiao Liyue kept praying in her heart. I hope I can get lucky and quickly find the jade pendant described by Xiao Chufang.

It's just that Pian Pian backfired, and she rummaged through more than a dozen drawers to no avail.

"Haven't I been in water lately, why are two things so unsmooth...... If I can't get the jade pendant, my nickname will be finished. ”

Thinking of this, Xiao Liyue was a little deflated. The hand inadvertently scraped the shelf next to it, and the sleeve just brought a box down.

There was a crisp sound of 'pop-', and the sandalwood box opened in response, and the contents slipped quietly.

Xiao Liyue was frightened by this sound, and after looking around, she found that no one was finally relieved. But her heart still hangs.

When she picked up the box, she finally saw the contents of the box clearly by the moonlight, which was a crystal clear jade pendant.

A very ordinary style with a few patterns painted on it. At the bottom, the word 'forest' is neatly engraved.

"It's really the road to the sky, I'm still very lucky." Xiao Liyue was a little proud, "I rummaged through so many drawers, I didn't expect the jade pendant to be placed outside so casually." ”

In addition to being happy, Xiao Liyue didn't dare to be sloppy in doing things.

She took out an inconspicuous jade pendant from the drawer she had rummaged through, placed it in the box, and put it back in its place.

After doing all this, Xiao Liyue was ready to slip away. But before he could turn around, a strange smell wafted from a distance.

Although it is not pungent, for someone like her, who is sensitive to smell, it is enough to make her feel like a great enemy.

"You can't be mistaken, this smell is exactly the same as the two maidservants I met outside the dormitory just now. It's broken, it's broken, why is someone coming here? ”

Xiao Liyue was a little flustered in her heart, and when she was in a hurry, she caught a glimpse of the cabinet in the corner. There is a large vase on the left and right, making it a great place to hide.

Time was tight, and she didn't have much time to think. As he hurriedly dodged over, he quietly squatted down.

Here, Xiao Liyue had just disappeared, and the door of the dormitory was pushed open.

'Squeak-', two maidservants dressed in palace clothes entered. In their hands, they carried baskets full of charcoal fires.

The green-clothed palace maid gasped, "I didn't expect that in just a moment after we left, the temperature in the dormitory would drop down a lot." ”

"Fortunately, I came back in time and had time to burn the charcoals. If we come in behind the Queen, we'll all have to lose our heads! ”

Speaking of this, the purple-clothed palace maid trembled in fear.

After chatting for a few words, the two palace maids who came in began to work. Divide five by two, and light all the charcoal braziers in the dormitory.

In an instant, the dormitory is filled with endless warmth, making people feel more comfortable.

"The queen should be back soon, let's hurry back."

"Well, it's not good to run into it late."

……

As the voices of the two palace maids faded away, the huge dormitory fell silent again.

Not long after the sound of the door closing passed, Xiao Liyue got up and stretched her somewhat stiff body, "Oh, mom, these two are gone." I'll quickly pack up and get out of this place. ”

To be on the safe side, she didn't choose the main entrance when she left. Instead, he opened the window behind a cabinet and tried to jump out of it.

As soon as Xiao Liyue's leg stepped onto the window frame, he heard the faint sound of footsteps outside the temple door.

This is accompanied by an extremely strong fragrance.

"This level of fragrance, I have only smelled the same amount on Xiao Xueqing, can it be said...... Is the queen back?! ”

Thinking of this, Xiao Liyue almost fell straight up. But fortunately, the position of the windowsill was finally grasped, so that no tragedy happened.

She had just closed the window when she heard the door open from inside the house.

"Queen Mother, come in quickly, it's freezing outside, don't hurt your body."
