Lu Mian climbed out of the lotus pond and ran into a palace maid after walking a few steps.

The palace maid was not surprised at all to see Lu Mian's wet appearance, and led her to a nearby room to change clothes.

I changed my clothes, but my hair was still wet.

Lu Mian took a clean cotton cloth and wrapped his hair in it and rubbed it vigorously.

When his hair was almost dry, Lu Mian combed his undried hair and returned to the main hall.

The main hall was still full of laughter, Lu Mian lowered his head and walked behind Mo Zhao, and did not attract the attention of others, except for Concubine Shu and Bi Qing.

Bi Qing stared at Lu Mian, with a stunned look on her face, as if she had seen a ghost.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, I'm afraid she would have shouted it out.

And Concubine Shu's expression is not very good.

Looking at the living deer sleeping, Concubine Shu turned her head and glared at Biqing fiercely, blaming her for not doing things well, and she actually let go of the great opportunity.

In addition to eating and drinking, the last very important thing in the palace banquet is to watch the sky lanterns.

There is a star-picking pavilion in the palace, and every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor will lead the civil and military officials and their families to go to the star-picking pavilion to watch the sky lanterns.

The same is true tonight.

After everyone had eaten and drunk almost, the emperor was the leader, and the ministers followed behind, like a mighty long dragon, to the Star Picking Pavilion.

Lu Mian pushed Mo Zhao in the wheelchair, and the two walked at the back unconsciously.

There were many people in the main hall before, and Mo Zhao was inconvenient to turn his head and talk to Lu Mian, but now that everyone was walking in front, Mo Zhao couldn't hold back the worry in his heart anymore: "Sister Mian, why did you go out for so long and come back?" Did something else happen along the way? And that palace maid, did she bully you just now? ”

Just as Lu Mian and Concubine Shu didn't forget the incident eight years ago, Mo Zhao didn't forget it either.

Just now, Bi Qing took Lu Mian out, but in the end, only Bi Qing came back alone.

Before Lu Mian came back, for Mo Zhao, every minute and every second of sitting in the main hall was an unbearable torment.

"A little thing happened." Lu Mian raised his hand and patted Mo Zhao's shoulder to reassure: "I'll tell you when I get home." ”

Hearing that something else had happened in Lu Mian that he didn't know, Mo Zhao clenched his fists and said in a dumb voice, "Okay." ”

The Star Picking Pavilion is not far away, and everyone has not walked a few steps to arrive.

The attic was built very large, and it was more than enough for all the civil and military officials to go up.

It is not necessary to stand in the position according to the official grade to enjoy the sky lantern, but Lu Mian also pushed Mo Zhao to the front and the best position to watch the sky lantern.

After a while, everyone saw that sky lanterns began to rise outside the palace.

This is put by the common people outside the palace, every Mid-Autumn Festival, after dinner, everyone will put a few sky lanterns with their wishes written, praying that the gods can see and fulfill their wishes.

After a while, more and more sky lanterns were put into the sky, as if occupying a large area of the night sky, and it was a grand sight.

It was the first time Lu Mian had seen this kind of spectacle, looking at the rising sky lanterns in the night sky opposite, her clear eyes were shining.

Mo Zhao wasn't interested in this.

He half-tilted his head, his gaze falling on Lu Mian.

Everyone was looking at the sky lanterns and marveling at the beauty of such a magnificent scene.

Only he was looking up at Lu Mian, his eyes were full of the figure of the other party, and the scene that made people marvel and linger couldn't attract half of his eyes.

After watching the sky lanterns, it also represents the end of this Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet.

Everyone smiled and said goodbye to each other.

Lu Mian pushed Mo Zhao and sat in the carriage when he came up.

Chen Yong had other things, so he stayed in the palace for the time being and left the palace later.

As soon as he got into the carriage, Mo Zhao's face changed, and he turned his head to look at Lu Mian: "Sister Mian, take off your clothes and let me see the injury on your back." ”

Lu Mian refused: "Don't look at it, the soup is not hot, I am a doctor myself, have you forgotten?" I have the scald medicine I got when I was bored in my room, and when I go back, I'll let Yueyue wipe it for me. ”

Yueyue is the maidservant girl that Chen Yong allocated to Lu Mian.

"But I don't feel at ease if I don't see it with my own eyes." Mo Zhao lowered his head, and his voice was depressed: "If it weren't for Sister Mian to help me block it, the soup would have been spilled on me." ”

But there is a difference between the two of us, big brother......

Lu Mian opened his eyes, looked at Mo Zhao's depressed face, and was stunned that he didn't say this sentence.

If the burn is somewhere else, it will be counted.

If it was on his arms and little feet, Lu Mian didn't say a word and rolled up his sleeves and trousers to show Mo Zhao.

But the burn was on the back.

If you show it to Mo Zhao, you must have Lu Mian take off her outer and middle clothes.

Lu Mian's skin is not thick enough to this point.

However, no matter what Lu Mian said, Mo Zhao stubbornly stared at Lu Mian's back, as if he wanted to pierce the clothes on Lu Mian's back with his gaze.

Lu Mian couldn't, so he had to change the subject: "By the way, didn't you just ask me what happened on the way to change clothes?" ”

Mo Zhao glanced at her, knowing in his heart that she was changing the topic, but he still cooperated: "Huh? ”

Lu Mian said: "Biqing, that is, the palace maid next to Concubine Shu. Instead of taking me to the palace of the concubine, she took me to a lotus pond, and several eunuchs who knew martial arts jumped out of the shadows, and they wanted to seize me and sink me in the pond and let me drown alive. ”

Mo Zhao originally just listened casually, but now his whole heart was raised: "And then?" What did they do to you! ”

"Nope." Lu Mian shook his head, in order to prevent Mo Zhao from blaming himself, Lu Mian concealed the fact that he was thrown into the lotus pond, and said, "When they caught me, a man in black saved me. The clothes I have on now are also the ones he sent to take me to change. ”

"Who's that man in black!" Mo Zhao clenched his hands, regretting in his heart why he didn't go with Lu Mian at that time.

Knowing that Concubine Shu was not a good person, he still let her go.

He wasn't that stupid, Bi Qing only left for a while and came back.

And the deer sleeps...... But he waited anxiously for a long, long time to come back, and his hair was still wet.

She must have been thrown into a lotus pond.

Mo Zhao tried his best to restrain the idea of wanting to embrace the other party in his arms, but his dark gaze still exposed his inner unpeace.

“…… The identity of the man in black is a long story. Even Lu Mian didn't know how to tell Mo Zhao that he might be an enemy undercover agent.

But after thinking about it, Lu Mian still decided to tell Mo Zhao truthfully.

She doesn't like to have secrets from people she trusts, and she doesn't like to cheat.

"Do you remember the time when you pulled a small token out of my baggage? It was a tiny, tiny token that I put in the cabinet and never took it out. ”。

Mo Zhao nodded: "Yes." ”
