Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Night of the Full Moon
The sun is setting, and the afterglow is still there. After the whole day's high temperature, there is still a residual heat outside.
Inside the courtyard, these were taken into account when it was established, and many flowers and trees were specially planted, as well as rockeries and flowing water, which was much cooler than the outside.
On the contrary, whether it is cold or scorching heat, Liu Qingyan, who is always the coldest, seems to be a little restless. It was rare that she did not lock herself in her room alone, but sat in the gazebo at the other end of the courtyard. From time to time, she looked at Xuanyuan Yichen's room where the door was always closed, and then looked outside the idle courtyard, as if she was looking for or waiting for something, and obviously there had been a lot of time, which made her a little impatient.
Xiao Yue walked all the way, holding a plate in her hand with a delicate fan on it. There is also a small incense burner next to it, which is emitting curling smoke and a quiet fragrance. In such a season, when snakes, insects, rats and ants are rampant, this specially made incense can be used to repel those things.
Placing the things in his hand on the stone table in front of Liu Qingyan, and handing her the fan, seeing that she looked uneasy, Xiao Yue guessed and said, "Princess, tonight is the night of the full moon again." ”
Perhaps in order to verify Xiao Yue's words, Liu Qingyan looked at the sky, and a small, light white circle that was not so noticeable came into view. Before the sun had completely set, the moon had risen early, just to tell her that it was a full moon again.
And what does a full moon night portend? In fact, just as Xiao Yue deliberately reminded, she guessed correctly, Liu Qingyan was so restless, it was indeed for Xuanyuan Yichen.
"Where's the prince?" Although we see each other at least once a day, and basically in the Yunshu Temple next door. But these two people who have been fighting have obviously not lost their anger, and the time they have met is almost negligible. But that doesn't mean these two don't care about each other. Xiao Yue, Linglong, Chu Yi, and Fifteen, who were following them, undoubtedly became the people who passed on the news between them, but the news they passed on was always where the other party was and what they were doing. There were more situations, but neither of them would ask again.
It was as if now, Xiao Yue had already prepared in her heart, so she said: "The prince is in the bamboo forest." In fact, almost every time the answer is almost this, Xuanyuan Yichen seems to really want to take root in the bamboo forest.
Liu Qingyan was worried in his heart, but he still pretended to be indifferent and cold, and asked seemingly casually: "On such a full moon night, does he sometimes spend it in the bamboo forest?" ”
This is a great secret of life and death, and only a handful of people know it. Originally, Liu Qingyan was also the one who wanted to be concealed by everyone, but she was discovered by her in the first month she came to the Xianwang Mansion. Although the poison in Xuanyuan Yichen's body has always been suppressed, every full moon night is the time when the poison attacks. In the process of poisoning, life is better than death.
This is the reason why Liu Qingyan and Xiaoyue are so worried.
It has been more than three months since Liu Qingyan came to the Xianwang Mansion, and he has personally experienced Xuanyuan Yichen's three poisonous hairs, and each time he is in the idle court. This time, he was left in the bamboo forest, and she wasn't sure if it was safer and better to help him through the long night.
Xiaoyue told her, "Yes." "It doesn't matter where it is, the most important thing is that every time there was a poison attack in the past, Xuanyuan Yichen insisted on being locked in the room by himself, and no one was allowed to enter without his order. It was Liu Qingyan's arrival again, which changed the order he had given. So what Xiao Yue is really worried about is that without Liu Qingyan's company this time, Xuanyuan Yichen will not be used to it or even more uncomfortable.
The two of them stopped talking again, and looked at the moon gradually rising and brightening in the sky. Here they so calmly admired the full moon, and watched the silver light sprinkle over the earth and on themselves. Everything is so quiet and beautiful. But I don't know what kind of dire situation the other world in the bamboo forest should be.
Xiao Yue could no longer feel at ease and said, "Princess......"
Liu Qingyan just stood up, raised his legs and walked out of the pavilion, and walked towards the door of the idle courtyard. Xiao Yue was puzzled, what was this for, should she take her to run a big lap in the middle of the night.
Out of the idle garden, I walked in the direction of the bamboo forest. However, Xiao Yue still had doubts, anyway, it was not the first time that Liu Qingyan had taken her to the entrance of the bamboo forest but suddenly turned around. But she had to follow Liu Qingyan, and kept muttering silently in her heart: "Bamboo forest!" Bamboo forest! Zhulin ...... "She doesn't know when she started, so desperately hoping that the prince and the princess must meet."
The bamboo forest is ahead, but the turning place is also underfoot. Xiao Yue was uneasy in her heart, and began to think that if Liu Qingyan turned around again, she would drag her unconscious and drag her to the bamboo forest.
To Xiao Yue's surprise, Liu Qingyan's feet did not stop, and he kept walking towards the bamboo forest.
When you enter the bamboo forest, all that appears in your eyes is the dark green bamboo and bamboo leaves that have turned against the background of the moonlight, and the tip of the nose has the unique grass-like fragrance of bamboo. Such a moonlit night, in the dead of night, is more rich and chic.
It wasn't until this moment that Xiao Yue really believed that Liu Qingyan had brought herself to the bamboo forest. And they've all come in, so they probably won't go out. Her worries became superfluous, and she couldn't hide her excitement in her heart, "Princess......" and cried out.
Liu Qingyan didn't seem to hear it, and continued to walk briskly inside.
In the bamboo forest, there are various formations densely packed at any time. Every time Xiao Yue came in before, she basically followed Xuanyuan Yichen or one of the first and fifteenth years of junior high school, and never came in alone. And each time it takes a fixed route.
But Liu Qingyan is different. She knew the center of the formation, and she also took the formation eye with her own hands, if it wasn't for the mercy of her subordinates, this formation eye would be destroyed in her hands. Not to mention that she has often run to the bamboo forest alone in the past three months, and the various formations in it are broken by her as she wants, and she can even strengthen the formations herself.
Under the leadership of Liu Qingyan, Xiao Yue embarked on a completely different path, which is no better than the various trails and corridors outside, and one mistake may become an irreparable mistake, and she must follow closely.
The destination soon appeared in front of him, and as Xiao Yue expected, the first and fifteenth years of junior high school and Linglong were all guarding the door of Qingyan Pavilion. And the entire Qingyan Pavilion was like a well-built cage, with all the doors and windows tightly closed. There wasn't even a single candle flame yet, and if it weren't for the bright moonlight, it would be eerie.
Even from a considerable distance, Liu Qingyan and Xiao Yue, two people with good hearing, seemed to hear bursts of light and heavy moans belonging to Xuanyuan Yichen coming from inside the Qingyan Pavilion with the doors and windows closed. Even if they just heard such a faint voice, Liu Qingyan and Xiaoyue could feel Xuanyuan Yichen's pain and empathize.
The two of them glanced at each other, and the speed of their feet increased.
The three people guarding the door heard the sound coming from the bamboo forest and looked over. When I saw that it was Liu Qingyan who was walking in front of Xiaoyue, the first and fifteenth years of junior high school seemed to have seen the awakening, and they were obviously relieved. is the only Linglong, but as if she has seen a bad star, her face has obviously changed. His eyes were full of disgust and hatred that Liu Qing couldn't hide.
Liu Qingyan turned a blind eye and didn't look at her more. In the blink of an eye, he came to the front of the Qingyan Pavilion. I looked at the first and fifteenth years of junior high school who were looking at me expectantly, and listened to the clear moans coming from the attic. She knew that Xuanyuan Yichen didn't want others to see her suffering, even if it was her. However, she still had to say to the first and fifteenth years of junior high school, "Let me in." ”
No one knew better than these four people how serious Xuanyuan Yichen's order was, and he said that if he was not allowed to enter, he was not allowed to enter. These four people are not only to obey this order, but also to maintain this order, and at the same time they do not allow anyone else to enter.
However, no one knows better than these four people that only Liu Qingyan can disobey Xuanyuan Yichen's orders and will not be punished by him.
Without saying a word, the first and fifteenth two immediately stepped aside, letting out the two closed doors behind them.
Linglong didn't think so, and immediately exclaimed in a low voice: "What are you doing here, the prince said, no one is allowed to enter!" ”
The other three didn't speak, maybe it was a long story, or maybe the relationship between the four of them was extraordinary, and many words were hard to say. But it doesn't matter, Liu Qingyan doesn't have so many scruples, she followed her words and said, "But not including me." As she spoke, she had already bypassed Linglong and came to the door. She pushed the door slightly, and as she expected, it was locked from the inside.
Linglong immediately looked proud, and said sneeringly: "The prince said that no one is allowed to enter!" "The same goes for the princess.
Liu Qingyan ignored her, her hands were still on the door, and she didn't see how hard she worked, when she heard the sound of the deadbolt breaking and falling to the ground. Such a silent night, such a slight sound, but suddenly it seemed to become a loud noise, and it kept echoing in everyone's minds.
Liu Qingyan exerted a little more force, and the door made a "creak" sound, and it was pushed open in response.
