In the evening, a large black cloud blew from the east, gloomy and gloomy on the top of the forbidden palace, and the sky suddenly darkened, and after a while, the rolling thunder and tornado seemed to tear the whole sky apart.

Liu Congguang didn't know where to cramp, and suddenly wanted to see the bamboo slips of Western Xia, Zifei was the most impatient with hunger, so he went to eat early, and Mo Lan had to go to the north building of Renming Hall alone. Although he only had half a cup of tea, he encountered a downpour in the middle of the road, and in a blink of an eye, he was drenched in soup, and his shirt was soaked.

The sky thundered and flashed, the fallen flowers were red and the leaves were all over the ground, the rain hit the ground "click" sound, the sky darkened a little bit, only a few gray lights were smeared in the sky, and a few huge dark clouds rolled there.

Moran didn't dare to hide under the tree, and rushed in a straight line to a retreat. There are dozens of rest pavilions built in various places in the palace, taking the meaning of rest. There are palace maids on duty in every place, and the living utensils are also readily available, just waiting for the emperor and concubines to play and work tired, as a resting place. Renming Hall is located in the middle of nowhere, there are very few royal drivers, concubines and concubines, these pavilions only ask people to clean and pick up, prepare some daily utensils, and there is no palace maid on duty.

The pavilion is surrounded by bamboo forests, divided into the front hall and two ear chambers on the left and right, clean and elegant. Moran had come here several times to sweep and was quite aware of the objects in the pavilion. She went into the right ear chamber in the dark, and by impression she touched an oil-paper umbrella into the cabinet. This pavilion is extremely remote, except for the eunuchs and palace maids, there are very few people coming and going on weekdays, and now the sound of spring thunder showers is relative, and the house is bleak, which is particularly weird.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, there was the sound of boot footsteps, and she turned to stand in the dark, listened carefully, and then shouted into the hall: "Who is coming?" ”

There was no one outside to answer, and when I heard it again, there was no sound of footsteps. Although she was bold, she was also scared at this time. There are ghosts and monsters in the palace from time to time, the palace people die inexplicably, and those with grades will check it, if they have a low status and no background, they are hastily pulled to the palace people by the people of the violent room and buried obliquely, and they will find an excuse to prevaricate at will. Moran somehow suddenly thought of this, and couldn't help but be terrified.

She walked straight to the outer hall, shouting "who's coming" twice, but no one answered.

The rain crackled all around, and two palace lamps were hanging under the eaves of the corridor swaying in the wind, and the bright light shone the bamboo shadow on the threshold, swinging left and right for long and short, making people more and more frightened. The cold wind blew, and she couldn't help but shiver, and quickened her steps to get out of here as quickly as possible. She felt in a trance that someone was watching her, and she didn't dare to stay in the hall, and suddenly heard a voice coming, thinking that Xu was a palace person on night duty nearby, and she was happy in her heart, and almost wanted to run out, at this moment, the heavens and the earth suddenly rotated, and someone took her into the door, and imprisoned her reflexively in her arms, she was so frightened that she wanted to scream, but she had already been covered by the warm palm, and only made a few muffled sounds of "woo".

Ignoring her struggles, the man said majestically and calmly in his ear: "Don't move!" ”

It was a young man's voice, low and powerful, as if it had been heard somewhere. His snort was soft in his ears, and Moran's heart was beating violently and panicking.

At this time, a faint complaint came from under the eaves of the porch: "This ghost weather, drenched me in rain." Someone else replied, "No, we quickly locked the door, and Miss Rurou asked me to go to her in the evening to receive the reward!" He lowered his voice again and said, "Yesterday, I saw Miss Ru Rou and Mrs. Qi'er arguing in the pantry and smashing the tea bowl......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the first person to speak: "Didn't you see that the two of them were talking and laughing today?" Don't worry about their affairs, we don't have a grade, and we abandon them like a piece of waste. I'm not as handsome as you, and I don't even have a hope. If you are chosen by the official family one day to be a concubine, don't forget me. I heard that Shang Meiren was the lady of the tea palace who was on duty in front of the imperial palace......"

"This Renming Palace, the official family can't come back once in a few years, it's better to go back and receive the reward money early to make your spring and autumn dream, if it's too late, it will be gone." Speaking of the reward, the two of them giggled again.

In a joke, the door lock has been put on.

"Isn't it okay if you don't go in? There's no one in there, right? One asked.

"It's almost the same as having ghosts in such weather."

The other replied with a grin, and when it came to the ghost word, a cold wind blew and blew out the lantern under the eaves. The two of them tightened up, hurriedly gathered their minds, lifted the palace lamp, and helped each other through the rain curtain and gradually left.

Moran had never been so close to a man, and the warm body temperature passed through her clothes, making her feel ashamed. It wasn't until there was no sound at the bottom of the porch that the man let go of his arm. Moran let out a long breath, took half a step back, stood in the darkness and asked, "Who are you?" ”
