When I came back from the palace, my brother handed Xiao Zhuo an excerpt and asked to join me in the palace at night to take care of the king.

The eldest grandson of the emperor, although he was filial, could only guard the palace during the day, and he still had to go out of the palace and return to the house at night, so when he received the excerpt from his senior brother, he agreed without thinking too much.

At night, there was silence all around.

The candle flame flickered quietly in the main hall, and the pear blossom wooden floor was clean and transparent, reflecting the dimness of the candlelight.

I sat cross-legged under the king's dragon couch, and my senior brother held a sword, guarding beside us.

At about three o'clock, there was still no movement, I sat on the ground with a sore back, and just wanted to stand up and move, but I heard an abnormal wind outside.

Immediately afterwards, the cloud sara tent in the hall also slowly shook with the candlelight.

I glanced at my senior brother, stood up on the edge of the bed, and was about to reach out to the jade flute inserted in my waist, when I heard a sudden loud noise, and the wind suddenly blew open the originally closed window, and the candle flame in the hall was instantly extinguished.

The palace attendants fell into a panic for a while, but gradually quieted down in the darkness.

All around, the silence was a little terrible, we held our breath, looked around, only to see the windows swaying back and forth in the evening breeze, and the cloud gauze bed tent fluttered even more violently, in the dim light of the moonlight, like ghosts floating in the air.

The senior brother was silent for a moment, and walked towards the window, as if he wanted to close the window, however, as soon as he walked a few steps, he heard a strange movement in the room, and one after another, he walked closer and closer towards the king's dragon couch, and I could hear that this footstep was not one of us.

As the Qin squire said, it was the sound of a baby's feet stepping on the floor......

My brother and I stood in place, discerning for a moment, and finally locked our eyes on the roof.

The palace here is different from other places, the roof here is suspended by a layer of pear wood partitions, and there is a large gap between the partition and the roof, which is not enough to accommodate an adult, but if the other party is a baby less than two feet in size, it should not be a problem to walk in it.

So we split up, I ran out of the hall to investigate the surroundings, and the senior brother went in along the gap between the partition and the roof to check, because the gap was too small, he could only lean over and climb in, from time to time I heard the senior brother from a suppressed cough, this palace has been built for many years, the partition and the roof must have accumulated a lot of dust, and I was worried, the partition can support the weight of the senior brother, don't be evil has not been caught, the senior brother fell down first, in case it fell on the king who fell asleep on the dragon couch, that is a great sin.

After waiting outside for a while, I didn't see any movement of the evil spirit, and I heard the senior brother say in a low voice: "Scarlet, come quickly!" ”

I was nervous by him, and I was afraid that the evil would come out later, and I would be caught off guard, so when I heard him call me, I could only reply impatiently: "What? ”

"There are footprints, there is a string of footprints here......" Because of the separation of a layer of wood, the senior brother's voice sounded a little dull.

I had no choice but to get into the gap on the other side, and when I saw that my brother had already opened the fire fold at this time, I lay on the partition and crawled towards him with difficulty.

After crawling for about a dozen steps, I saw what my brother said, and saw a long series of footprints that could only belong to a baby spread in the place illuminated by the firelight.
