Huai Sleeve looked at Yuehe's worried gaze steadily. He nodded slightly. A neat sliding step. Fly and disappear into the night. The snow forehead also jumps in a jump. And then it was gone.

With his sleeves and snow forehead, he came out of Qingzhi Palace from the flower wall in the back garden. Because the snow forehead is covered with snow-white and colorful fur. It stands out in the dark of night. Huai Sleeve had to pick a narrow path all the way. Sneak quickly towards Yinren's Yuqing Palace.

It's getting cold. It's night in the deep palace. Except for the night guards. The doors of the other palaces were closed. Deep inside the alley. Only like the moonlight sprinkled a quiet silver and white light.

The sleeves are light. Walk like a fly. Xue is also exceptionally well-behaved and obedient. Immediately follow the side of the sleeve. One man, one beast. Beware of the guards' patrols. Soon came to the harem wall of Yuqing Palace.

Yuqing Palace is located in the center of the Chengsu Hall and the Fengxian Hall in the East Garden of the Forbidden City. It was Kangxi who was specially selected to live for the prince. A place to study. There aren't many people who usually come. It's nightfall. It's much quieter than going out on the side.

Huai Sleeve looked around vigilantly. After confirming that no one is available. He gently patted the top of his head twice on the forehead of the snow. Snow sat down on the ground very obediently. A pair of bright tiger eyes stared closely at the sleeve.

Sleeves flew alone and jumped onto the palace wall. Start by hanging your body against the wall with one arm. Look inward carefully.

This is the back garden of Yuqing Palace. Winter is approaching. The flowers in the garden are slaughtered. Only a few pines and cypresses remain, and the greenery remains. It's quite depressed and scattered.

After carefully inspecting the corners of the garden. He bowed his head and gently waved his hand at the snow forehead that was squatting at the base of the wall.

Snow forehead immediately understood. Squat down for a vertical leap. The two front paws climbed up the wall neatly. Followed by a kick on the hind legs. The sturdy body fell silently into the garden. Huai Sleeve also jumped into the courtyard.

Huai Sleeve has never been to Yuqing Palace. It's night again. In addition, Kangxi has always attached great importance to Prince Yinren. It is expected that there must be many guards in this palace. When I was thinking about how to find someone. Xue Yi suddenly jumped out.

Huai Sleeve was shocked. Immediately whispered: "Snow forehead." Don't run around. He also chased after him.

In this unfamiliar place. It's the middle of the night again. And she was dressed as a night at this time. If you are really caught by the palace guards. The consequences must be unimaginable. Or maybe even the general's mansion in northern Xinjiang.

Huai Sleeve was anxious. The feet are even more arrowy. Seeing that Xue ran a few steps. Sudden leap. He was prostrate on the ground. The body with sleeves followed and lay on the body of Snow Forehead.

"Little ancestor. You scared me to death. ”

The sleeves pressed their bodies against the snow forehead. Scratched its ears hard. as a punishment.

Snow forehead shook her furry head. Arch your mouth into the palm of your sleeve.

"Good boy. Go back and be coquettish. Let's get down to business. Go back and I'll give you a reward for slaughtering cattle and sheep. Huai cuffs whispered persuasion. The hand was about to touch the top of the snow's head. only to find that there seemed to be a soft thing in his hand.

Huai Sleeve was shocked again. Straighten up immediately. Take a look at it by the moonlight. It turned out to be a white silk purse.

The sleeve quickly flipped over the wet purse that had been covered by the snow. On the other side, there was a pair of geese flying with wings.

This must be the purse of the snow goose.

The women of Saibei are different from the daughters of the Central Plains. Embroidery on a handkerchief purse. There are very few embroidered grasses. Most of them like to embroider sika deer. Wild goose. Magpies are auspicious animals. And Xue Yan and Hongqing have been in Beijing with Zhu Hetana for many years. I also used all my thoughts about homesickness here.

Pensive. The sleeve fingers subconsciously clenched the purse. Some of them were found to be slightly hard and lumpy.

With his sleeves and snow forehead, he found a hidden bush to hide. Pour out the contents. It was a big piece of smoke paste. And it's still fresh and unused.

Huai Sleeve looked at the big cigarette paste in his hand. The previous doubts in my heart suddenly became clear. Sure enough, it was as she thought. Snow geese have been held hostage for a long time. And the one who holds the snow goose hostage. It's in this Yuqing Palace.

At this time, Xue's forehead also leaned over to sniff. He took the big cigarette paste into his arms. Only give the purse to the snow forehead.

Huai Sleeve reached out and stroked the top of Snow Forehead's hairy head. He whispered, "Good girl." It's up to you to find the snow geese tonight. ”

Snow forehead seemed to understand Huai Sleeve's words. Keep your head up. Lean close to the side of the sleeve face. Lightly added. Afterwards. He turned around and walked towards the place where he had found his purse.

At this time, Huai Sleeve had already determined that there was no one in the garden. I can also walk slowly with the snow. Xue Forehead walked a little slowly this time. And stop-and-go. Unknowingly, he had gone around the back garden of Yuqing Palace. Walked onto a slightly deserted path.

Walk with sleeves in your arms. Look around. She didn't know where she was at the moment. He walked slowly with only the snow.

Snow walked under a tree. Raise your front paws suddenly. A few scratches on the bark. After that, it circles around the trunk of the tree.

Wai Sleeve didn't understand what it meant. I also looked around the tree. But I didn't notice anything unusual. Look back. This place is already some distance away from Yuqing Palace.

Could it be ...... Snow geese are not in Yuqing Palace.

When I was thinking about it. Snow has left the tree. Heading towards another alley. Seeing this, the sleeves were wedged. had to follow silently.

Snow forehead sniffs as he walks. Stop and go for a while. In the distance, he heard the drum beat twice. The second shift has been handed in. I looked at the snow walking in front of me. Leisurely wagged his long tail. An idle look. It's completely devoid of the cleverness of when it first came out.

He guessed that it was most likely tired or hungry. I want to go back. I wanted to go home. Snow suddenly spread her paws and ran. Huai Sleeve immediately stepped up to keep up.

Snow turned around the narrow alley in front of him. The figure turned. Ran towards a red gate in the wide alley.

Run to the door of the Red Palace. Snow was about to raise her claws and pounce on the door. But he was grabbed by the fur in his neck. Forced to stop.

It was hard to hide the surprise in his eyes. Looking up at the scarlet gate. I saw that the palace lamps on both sides of the door were shining brightly, illuminating the gold lacquer plaque directly above the lintel. Three bright golden characters came into view.

Zhongcui Palace.

Huai Sleeve reconfirmed it with some disbelief. The fingers holding Xue's forehead tightened unconsciously.

Whining......

Snow forehead was a little painful to be grasped by the sleeve. He whimpered twice. Only then did he bring his sleeve back to his senses from his surprise.

He slowly squatted down with his sleeves. Gently caress the soft white hair of the snow forehead. Whispered, "Good." Snow geese are here. ”

Snow forehead sticks out of her pink tongue. Gently licked the palm of his sleeve. Blinking at her with a pair of shiny tiger eyes.

Sleeve stood up again. Bei Fang bit his lower lip tightly. Looking up at the closed vermilion gate in front of him. The time of departure suddenly came to mind. The sentence that Yuehe Yin advised.
