The leaves are falling and the fragrance is built, the night is silent, and the cold sound is broken. Thunder thundered in the pitch-black air, and a bolt of lightning swept across the night sky in the distance, illuminating the cloudy sky, and an unstoppable torrential rain was about to strike.

When Mu Yunqi heard this, she ordered someone to move the rocking chair in the courtyard clearing, and she sat on the rocking chair and looked greedily at the sky.

She is obsessed with thunderstorms, and the people around her have always known that every time there is thunder and rain, she will watch it for a long time, as if watching the thunderstorm sky will make her feel at ease.

"Miss, the rain is about to fall, how about the slave and maid move the rocking chair to the road?" Yingfu said helplessly.

"A sound of sycamore, a sound of autumn, a little banana and a little sorrow, the three watches return to the dream of the three watches." As if thinking of something, she turned to look at Yingfu with a smile, her eyes flashed with bright light, and she whispered, "Tonight, I want to visit the imperial study at night." ”

"Miss, I'm afraid it's raining heavily tonight." Yingfu looked at the sky and stomped her feet.

The maids who stood at the door of the room asked for peace one after another, but Mu Yunqi didn't expect him to come over at this time, standing in place and watching him enter the house.

Gu Hanxuan, who had already stepped into the house, turned around and saw Mu Yunqi stunned in place, and explained: "It's about to rain, so the palace will come in and hide."

Mu Yunqi walked into the house, pushed open the window sash and sat on the soft couch, listening to the sound of rain outside the window and the whistling sound of the wind blowing on the grass and trees in the garden.

Glancing at the man sitting across from her, she couldn't help frowning.

The rain fell on the glazed roof tiles and dripped down the edge of the house to the ground, splashing large splashes. The lattices of the windows were blown back and forth, making a crackling sound, and the cool breeze burst into the room, and the curtains were raised with the wind.

Gu Hanxuan turned her head to look at Mu Yunqi, her face was not half different, she still had a cold and arrogant look, and she was secretly discouraged in her heart.

A long time ago, the shadow guard who was guarding Mu Mansion had replied that Mu Yunqi had a hobby of watching the rainy day, and she wanted to come over and see it with her own eyes, but she hid everything in her heart.

I couldn't help but feel ridiculous, and muttered to myself, "It seems that this palace has disturbed your interest." ”

After speaking, he got up and walked away, and the rain fell on his dark ink brocade clothes, and there were no traces of wetting.

Mu Yunqi stood on the edge of the door, looking at the man who left in the rain for some reason.

remembered that three years ago, he stopped at the palace with the four princes, and he mistakenly thought that they were side brothers, and fought with him in the snow, he was kicked in the chest by himself, and fainted in the snow.

Gu Hanyi, who came with him, saw him fall to the snow and immediately fought with him.

Later, when the third brother returned to the hospital and saw that scene, he almost lost his breath, and when he saw that he stopped all the blame on himself, he realized that he was in trouble, but Gu Hanxuan did not blame him later and covered up the matter for himself.

Now that I think about it, if he had brought this matter to his father at that time, perhaps his father would have taken precautions instead of being caught off guard later.

Mu Yunqi didn't want to turn around and go back to the house anymore, and told Lan Gu to call a woman in the front yard.

She looked at the woman kneeling respectfully and said, "Are you familiar with the palace?" ”

"Back to the crown princess, the slave maid has been in the palace for five years, and she is still familiar." The woman leaned over and said, calmly and calmly.

"Get up, what's your name?"

"Slave Gardenia."

Mu Yunqi looked at her lightly, an extremely delicate woman, with a respectful and humble face.

"Take the palace to the imperial study tonight."

Gardenia nodded slightly, although she had doubts, she couldn't ask.

Lan Gu glanced at her with a worried face. "The crown princess's move is too risky, the night is slippery, and there are hidden crises in the palace, and the slaves and maids really feel that it is inappropriate."

"A few days ago, the emperor ordered Su Lu to go to the border to manage military affairs with the third brother." Mu Yunqi said lightly, the emperor's meaning is self-evident.

Lan Gu also knew that the Mu family seemed to be calm now, but in fact it was like fire and water, so she had to sigh helplessly and turn around and leave the house to prepare black clothes for Mu Yunqi.

The drizzle was drizzling, and the cool breeze was accompanied by raindrops falling on the earth.

On the glazed green tiles of the Rihui Palace, the two black-clothed men walked lightly above, their feet on the tiles without a sound, and when they reached the door of the imperial study, they fell down the column and quietly hid on both sides of the road.

"You don't have to go in with you, if I am discovered, you can go back and inform Lan Gu." After speaking, the woman got up and walked gently along the side of the road.

The woman behind her shook her head again and again, and there was no figure on her side.

A team of night patrol forbidden soldiers stepped on the road, Mu Yunqi hid her body under the railing, listened to the sound and walked away, only to show her eyes, and then turned over on the road, leaned on the eaves and walked to the entrance of the imperial study, she glanced around, quickly pushed the door and walked neatly to turn around and cover the door lightly.

A pair of sharp eyes in the attic in the distance saw everything in the night, and immediately flew and jumped on the eaves of the palace, and landed in the prince's bedroom.

He looked at the couch after speaking, and the figure of the master had already left the temple gate.

The sound of rain outside the house was already stationed, and Mu Yunqi cautiously looked for it slowly in the room. When she stepped into the library, there were so many books on the shelves that she didn't dare touch them easily. But it was impossible for such an important thing to be placed in such a conspicuous place, the room was dark, her clothes were soaked, the autumn wind was cold, and she had completely lost her feelings.

She walked gently to the bookcase and looked at the bookcase and the wooden chair, which must have an inner room.

She looked around again, she looked at the bookshelf on the place, walked to the front and squatted down, lifted the wool felt on the ground floor, she tapped lightly, knocked on the side again, changed a few places, a box slowly opened on the bookshelf, she was overjoyed, the surrounding bookshelves shot sharp arrows, she turned over to dodge, sharp arrows followed, she dodged neatly, the arrows stabbed into the bookshelf fiercely, making a sound, alarming the forbidden army outside.

She couldn't get out of the way to block the flying arrows, and the footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer, so she gritted her teeth and rolled over from the middle, rolled under the window lattice, opened the window sash, jumped on the red wall, jumped on the roof, and stepped on the eaves to leave.

"There are assassins, there are assassins." The palace of Rihui was instantly lit up, and the forbidden army was assembled.

Mu Yunqi jumped off the eaves and hid in a dark palace, before she could check the surroundings, she was pulled back by a pair of hands, she immediately waved a palm but was restrained by someone backhanded.

"It's Hongu." Gu Hanxuan put down her hand, turned her body around, grabbed her thin shoulder with one hand, and held the arrow feather on her back shoulder with the other hand, and broke it hard.

Mu Yunqi didn't react, she was about to exclaim in pain, he immediately covered her open lips, and was bitten down by her, as if venting the pain on Fang Cai's body.

Feeling that the strength in his hand had loosened, Gu Hanxuan stretched out his hand back and asked coldly, "Okay?" Seeing that she pursed her lips and was silent, she pulled her and walked out.

After passing out of the palace in a rockery, I walked along the quiet path on the side of the rockery, turned into a garden, and there was an open space in front.

Mu Yunqi was already physically exhausted, fine sweat was faintly breaking out on his forehead, and his steps were gradually struggling.

Seeing that she couldn't support it, Gu Hanxuan turned around and hugged her shoulders and let her lean on her chest, her face was pale, and her crumbling body lay on his chest.

"Out of here is the East Palace, you bear with it." He said softly, with a hint of melancholy in his tone.

Mu Yunqi looked up at him and nodded, and as he struggled all the way, when she felt that she was about to fall, she finally saw a familiar place in front of her. She forced her almost blurred vision and followed him into the door of the East Palace, followed him into his bedroom, and sat on his bed. When he turned to summon someone, she grabbed his robe.

"Please send Aunt Lan to come." She said angrily, and he nodded slightly.

He removed her nightclothes, and she was unwilling but powerless to stop her.

There was a commotion outside, Gu Hanxuan immediately took off the clothes on his body, put the night clothes on the couch together, and asked Mu Yunqi to lie down and cover her with the quilt.

He got up and opened the door, and asked coldly, "What's the matter?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, a man in black appeared tonight, and he was ordered to investigate." The forbidden army commanded the northern Jiangsu Huidao.

"Uh... Can anyone be hurt? Gu Hanxuan seemed to be really surprised.

"No, I didn't."

"Can you see where the man in black has fled?"

Su Bei was embarrassed, and said with a weak heart, "Go back to Your Highness, it is dark at night, and no one will see it." ”

"In this way, Commander Su is checking in the palaces." Gu Hanxuan turned to the side and motioned for him to come into the house to check.

"The palace and the crown princess have been sleeping for a long time, and I hope that Commander Su will not disturb the crown princess, she is timid."

Su Bei arched his hand and said: "Where the duty of humility lies, I hope the prince will forgive me." After saying that, he walked lightly into the room, looked at the couch and hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and then looked around, but did not notice anything unusual.

He walked out of the door, arched his hand and said, "I'm disturbed by my humble duties, please rest Your Highness." After saying that, he led the forbidden army away.

Seeing that they had left the palace gate, Gu Hanxuan instructed Cheng Huan to call Aunt Lan, and he walked to the couch and helped Mu Yunqi to sit up.

"I almost believe what Your Highness said." Mu Yunqi was weak and said what was in his heart.

Gu Hanxuan thought she was delirious, but when he heard that she was still teasing him, he couldn't help laughing. He pulled her red-stained undershirt over his shoulders and looked at her injuries.

The arrows pierced all sides and turned over the blood, and bright red blood spilled from the wounds, staining her undergarment.

She was covered in sweat, she bit her lip, her eyes closed.

Gu Hanxuan took out the dagger, glanced at Mu Yunqi's pale face, and said, "Hold back." ”

Seeing that she tapped it, he plunged the dagger into the wound and raised it slightly. Her shoulders trembled slightly, and her clenched lips made an inaudible sound. With a fierce force, he picked out the dagger hard, only to see blood gushing and arrows falling to the ground. He wrapped her wound with a white veil, and in a moment it was dyed red, and Mu Yunqi's body fell on top of him in vain.

"Thank you." She said sincerely.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Aunt Lan has arrived." Cheng Huan's communication sounded outside the door.

"Let her in."

Lan Gu pushed the door into the house, saw the figure on the couch, and immediately stepped to the side of the couch without saluting, she leaned down and approached Mu Yunqi.

"The palace is fine, don't worry." It took all her strength to finish this, trying to raise a smile to reassure her, but she couldn't hold it anymore and fell into a deep stupor.

"The crown princess...," Lan Gu shouted in panic.

Gu Hanxuan put her on the couch and put on the quilt for her.

"You stayed to change her dressing, she was hit by an arrow, and although she is no longer in the way, she must not move at will." After saying that, he went straight out of the house.

Mu Yunqi's pain had eased, she opened her eyes awakely, the bright light outside the house penetrated into the room, stinging her eyes, she stretched out her hand to block it, and it took a while to get used to it.

She clutched her chest wound and struggled to sit up.

Gu Hanxuan stood with his back to her, dressed in black brocade embroidered with flying feathers, and his tall and slender back exuded majesty.

"You entered the imperial study at night to find the mountains and rivers?" He asked in a cold voice, like a cold wind.

Mu Yunqi was silent, she really didn't know how to answer, obviously he already knew it in his heart.

"Mu Yan wants mountains and rivers to converge, is it possible that he still wants NATO rivers and mountains?" Gu Hanxuan sneered.

"Your Highness, the Mu family will never dare to make a mistake." Mu Yunqi explained.

Gu Hanxuan turned around and walked to the side of the couch step by step, and said step by step: "Don't dare to make a mistake? Mu Yunche monopolized military power at the border, and the deputy general in the army was replaced by his people from the inside out, you say the Mu family doesn't dare? His father ordered him to return to the court, but he refused to return to the court on the grounds that the border was different, do you dare to say that the Mu family did not dare to make a mistake? His eyes stared at Mu Yunqi, as if mocking her words.

She was slightly surprised, she didn't expect everything to come faster than she expected.

"How will the emperor deal with the Mu family?" She asked worriedly.

Gu Hanxuan turned around and left, "The crown princess has married into the East Palace, and the affairs of the Mu family have nothing to do with you." After saying this, his body had already left the door, leaving Mu Yunqi in the room to ponder.
