Late at night, a breeze blew in through the window, gently brushing Meng Xilan's cheeks, relieving her.

There was no doubt that Zhou Youchen was standing in her room, and no matter how he got in, he was standing in front of her right now......

He was still wearing the magpie-gray robe, but with an extra black cloak on the outside, and the cloak moved with the wind, and the gold threads were clearly visible at the edges, and his hair was neatly tied in a jade crown, revealing a smooth forehead and a pair of eyes that were so deep that it was impossible to see.

The lights were low, and Zhou Youchen was in a dim black shadow, and suddenly appeared like this, giving people a sense of tranquility.

Meng Xilan's heart skipped a slight beat, she barely managed to hide the surprise on her face, and was about to speak, but she couldn't say a word.

She didn't know whether she should open her mouth to call someone in, or reprimand Zhou Youchen to let him leave here immediately, but no matter what she did, as long as she opened her mouth, she would alarm the palace people outside......

Meng Xilan's eyebrows furrowed, her slightly open lips froze, and she hesitated what she was going to say.

The two of them stared at each other for a while, Zhou Youchen stood faintly, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, raised his hand, and pointed to the sky outside the window.

Meng Xilan was silent, and looked at his finger, only to feel that he seemed to be pointing to the bright moon in the sky. She didn't understand what his intentions were, but her eyes gradually became sharp, and she finally lowered her voice and said, "Why are you here?" ”

If it weren't for the fear that Zhulu outside would hear it, she would definitely reprimand Zhou Youchen immediately, this is Cining Palace, it is her boudoir, how could he just break in quietly, like a ...... Like an assassin!

Zhou Youchen just laughed when he heard this, and his expression was proud, smiling like a naughty child who succeeded in playing tricks on people.

Meng Xilan slowly moved down from the bed, she lifted the curtain of the bed beside her, and wanted to walk over.

Zhou Youchen didn't give her such a chance, suddenly turned around, jumped up gently, and his feet were like stepping on clouds and mist, and the whole person was fluttering, but he jumped out of the window in the blink of an eye.

The cloak behind him brought a breeze that blew out the candle flame on the table.

Meng Xilan was startled, and hurriedly walked to the window to look, the palace lamp under the corridor shook slightly, and the faint light shone on the bluestone brick floor, and there were shadows and wind sounds around it, but Zhou Youchen was not seen.

Where did he go?

Meng Xilan was startled at first, then calmed down again, and unconsciously opened her mouth: "Where are you?" ”

The room was quiet, and her voice sounded very abruptly at this time, provoking the bamboo dew and bamboo green outside the ground to wake up one after another, and they hurried in before they even had time to put on their coats.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Meng Xilan stood at the window, looking out of the window in a daze, wearing only plain white pajamas, her long hair was scattered, and her expression was a little dazed.

Zhu Qing held the candlestick and lit the candle on the table again, and the room was lit again.

Meng Xilan stood in front of the window and didn't move, Zhu Lu stretched out her hand to dress her, and also followed the probe to look, and only said, "Master, what are you looking at?" ”

Meng Xilan was silent, turned around, returned to the bed and sat down, and said calmly: "It's okay, I'm just a little hot asleep, I'll go to the window to blow the wind." ”

Zhu Lu was surprised when she heard this, but said: "The wind is cold at night, if the master catches a cold, then he will have ......."

Meng Xilan's heart was still thinking about Zhou Youchen, thinking about how he appeared and how he disappeared, although he pretended to be calm and calm, his heartbeat was already flustered.

Zhu Lu was extremely clever, seeing that the master's expression was different, he hurriedly stopped talking, only waited for her to lie down again, tucked the quilt for her, covered the bed curtain, and was about to turn around, but heard Meng Xilan suddenly say: "Zhu Lu, you stay with me." ”

Her tone was soft, with a hint of imperceptible weakness.

Zhulu hurriedly responded hello, went to lie down on the soft couch, looked at the figure of the master tossing and turning, and thought, is the master having a nightmare?

Meng Xilan was lying on the bed, already sleepy, and a pair of eyes looked at the half-closed window from time to time, for fear of seeing Zhou Youchen's face again.

Throughout the night, her heart couldn't be calm for a long time, and when she got up in the morning, the subtle red threads on the whites of her eyes made her even more tired.

Zhu Lu looked at the master sitting in front of the dressing mirror, combing her hair, and said worriedly: "The master's face is not very good-looking, do you want to invite Master Jiao to come and have a look." ”

Meng Xilan shook her head and said no.

Jiao Changqing now has to take care of Chu Jingwen's pregnancy, which is the time to be busy. What's more, she knew in her heart that she was not uncomfortable, firstly, because of last night's incident, and secondly, because of Zhou Youchen's lack of taboos, she felt awkward.

Until now, she can't understand how Zhou Youchen entered Cining Palace? The palace door would be closed when the hour came, and there were guards guarding the inner court back and forth outside, how could his one-and-a-half-year-old child come in so easily? Moreover, it has not been discovered......

The more Meng Xilan thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and she subconsciously shook her head, but she didn't know that Zhulu behind her was pulling her hair, but she accidentally loosened her hand and almost lost the hairpin.

Zhulu saw it in his eyes and doubted it in his heart.

Master, what's wrong? It looks a little uneasy.

All day long, Meng Xilan had this matter in her heart, and she couldn't think about it clearly. She originally wanted to go to Changqing Palace to find Zhou Youchen to "rejuvenate the teacher and ask for guilt", but the Queen Mother temporarily sent a message, saying that the eldest lady of the Hou family of Weiyuan had entered the palace and asked her to go over to talk with her. After all, in a few days, the two families will become in-laws, and the superficial homework that should be done still needs to be done.

Meng Xilan is not a person who is good at dual-mindedness, so she first forgot about Zhou Youchen's strange appearance for the time being, and waited until the next time they met, and then asked clearly.

After a busy day, after dinner, Meng Xilan felt tired.

As the saying goes, spring is sleepy, autumn is lacking, and summer is napping. Meng Xilan felt that she was really getting more and more lazy, and the spring had not passed yet, so she would continue to be lazy this year.

After bathing and changing clothes, Meng Xilan heard Zhulu instructing the little palace maids to take turns to be on duty at the hour, and told everyone to remember the hour, don't be sleepy, change people every two hours, leave only one everlasting lamp in the house, and the candles next to it must be extinguished.

According to the rules, they were not allowed to accompany them inside, so they stayed outside and waited, waiting for their master's orders whenever and wherever they wanted. However, having said that, in the second half of the night, one by one couldn't help but find a place to doze off for a while.

Thinking of last night's incident, Meng Xilan's heart had a little thought. "Zhulu Zhuqing, both of you will stay today, as for the little palace maids outside, let them disperse. With you at my service, I will be safe for this night. ”

When those little palace maids heard this, they were secretly happy in their hearts, because they could sleep again.

Meng Xilan didn't know if Zhou Youchen would appear, but if he would suddenly appear, she hoped that she would be surrounded by trustworthy "her own people".

It was dark, the candle flame was also lit, and Meng Xilan slept lightly with her arms on her pillow, and the movements around her were intentional or unintentional.

There were three people in her room, six pairs of eyes, and six ears, and the slightest sound would cause everyone's thoughts.

However, the night was extraordinarily quiet, and even the wind could not be heard. Not only this night, but in the next few days, Meng Xilan also slept quietly and well.

Zhou Youchen never appeared again...... Whether it's at night or during the day, even Meng Xilan

When she got up in the morning, Meng Xilan would always subconsciously look out the window, and Zhulu Zhuqing thought she was watching the scenery outside.

"Master, the begonia flowers in the yard are blooming. At noon, the slave maid will make you flower cakes to eat, okay? ”

Meng Xilan nodded slightly: "Okay, I've been trying to eat something sweet for the past two days." ”

After dressing up, Meng Xilan took Zhulu and Gao Fuli to greet the Queen Mother, and on the way, Gao Fuli deliberately retreated and yawned twice in a row, as if he hadn't slept enough.

Zhulu reminded him in a low voice: "You hurry up and be mental, lose the rules for a while, be careful of the board." ”

The most taboo thing for a man in the palace to do as a slave is to be hypocritical, burp and yawn in front of his master, this kind of degrading thing.

Gao Fuli covered his mouth and whispered, "Sister Zhulu, the palace was haunted again last night, do you know?" ”

Seeing that he suddenly mentioned this, Zhu Lu hurriedly glanced at the master's back, and glared at him again: "Good and decent, what are you doing with this?" ”

"I also heard from others, those little eunuchs who kept vigil said they saw it, and our Cining Palace alone scared two of them."

Because of this incident, Gao Welfare was also so tired that he didn't sleep well all night.

Their dialogue is clear and clear.

Meng Xilan stopped, turned to look at Gao Fuli, and lightly ordered, "You come over and tell me about it carefully." ”

Gao Fuli saw that his master wanted to know, so he hurriedly stepped forward and told him what the little eunuch had seen yesterday.

Rumors of haunting in the palace are nothing new...... This is the Imperial Palace, there are many rare treasures, but there is never a shortage of unjust souls who died in vain, and under the high palace walls on all sides, countless unjust souls are buried.

However, the rumors spread in the past, and in the end, it was just a pickle that the palace maids and eunuchs regarded as eating with white rice. But this time the rumors of the Changqing Palace unconsciously stirred up everyone's hearts, and even Zhou Shixian, who was the Supreme of the Ninety-Five, was trapped by the strange nightmare.

"Did anyone really see it?" Meng Xilan's eyebrows twisted.

"Master, it is said to be true...... That ghost used to always wander outside the Changqing Palace, but now, he actually dared to run to Cining Palace...... "Although Gao Fuli didn't see it with his own eyes, he saw those half-dead little eunuchs, they were so frightened that they called their father and mother, and everyone's face had the same expression, that is, the expression of seeing a ghost.
