Li Nuo, who came out of the cold palace, breathed hard the fresh air outside the house. The atmosphere in the cold palace was so oppressive that she felt uncomfortable all over.

I only knew that the harem was a place of intrigue, but I didn't expect that there would be some ambitious people in the cold palace. Fortunately, Li Yiyan only loves Ning Yunxiao alone in this life, otherwise, there are so many women in the harem, and they must not know what will happen.

Summer has arrived, and even if you walk in the shade of a tree, a gust of wind will blow, and there will still be a wave of heat, just like staying by the oven in the summer.

Li Nuo raised his sleeve and wiped the fine sweat that couldn't help but come out of his head, and secretly said in his heart; "It's so hot!"

It's not hot, but if you think about it carefully, compared to your previous life in the village, you're really much happier in the palace. At the very least, there is no need to do farm work in the palace, and besides, you can find a place to rest when you are tired, and no one dares to beat and scold her anymore.

Thinking like this, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Nuo's mouth. This kind of life is something she didn't even dare to think about before.

If he hadn't met Li Yiyan and them that day, maybe at this time, Li Nuo might have been arrested by Chen's bully's family, and he would have to face that ugly face all day long.

As soon as he thought of Bully Chen's face, Li Nuo remembered all the unhappy things he had experienced in the village before, and the originally somewhat happy mood instantly seemed to have fallen to the bottom, and the whole person's mood instantly fell low.

She shook her head, trying to throw all those unpleasant memories behind her, not wanting to remember them again.

Just as she stopped and shook her head, suddenly a familiar music came into her ears, it was a melody played on the guzheng, which she would hear in her dreams every time she missed her parents.

This melody, which used to only appear in dreams, sounded so real that it seemed as if the player was not far away.

As soon as this idea broke into Li Nuo's mind, she was instantly stunned, not knowing why the familiar melody that she had been looking for for a long time appeared in the palace.

But then, she couldn't think about so many things in her head, and at this moment, she had only one thought, which was to find the person who was playing.

As soon as you find the person who played this melody, everything will be revealed.

Li Nuo was thinking in her heart, and just as she decided to follow the direction from which the melody came to find the person who played the guzheng, she listened intently, but there was silence around her, as if nothing had been heard before.

"Did you just hear the sound of the zither?" Li Nuo listened attentively for a while, but the familiar melody didn't sound again, so she turned around and asked Ning Yunxiao about the few guards she had sent her.

The few guards who were asked only saw that Li Nuo suddenly stopped, as if she had fallen into an evil spirit, she stood alone and shook her head for a while, they thought that she had bumped into something unclean, and was thinking about whether to report this to Ning Yunxiao.

So all their attention at that time was on Li Nuo's body, and as for whether there was any sound of the guzheng around them, they didn't feel it at all.

So when Li Nuo asked if they had heard the sound of the zither, they all shook their heads blankly.

"It seems to be coming from that side, listen carefully." Seeing that the guards had already shaken their heads, Li Nuo still didn't give up, she stretched out her hand and pointed in a direction diagonally above the right, looking at them with a look of hope and said.

Looking in the direction pointed by Li Nuo's finger, there was an artificial pond with peach blossoms planted on the shore.

It was the favorite place of Li Yiyan's mother and concubine during her lifetime, and the emperor took the Chinese character from "the peach is dying, scorching its flower" because she likes peach blossoms, and she is named Hua Fei. And that peach garden was also specially built by the emperor for Concubine Hua.

Later, for some reason, Concubine Hua fell out of favor, and the peach garden gradually fell into disuse. Since Li Yiyan took the throne, every time Concubine Hua's sacrifice day, he would send people to the peach orchard to get rid of some weeds, and sometimes, he would even stay there for a whole day. But usually, it was equivalent to a forbidden place, and the people in the palace did not dare to enter it at will.

It was precisely because of this that when Li Nuo said that she heard the sound of the guzheng coming from that side just now, the guards were stunned again, and they all looked at Li Nuo with disbelief expressions, thinking that she was just talking casually.

Seeing that the expressions of several guards didn't seem to be right, Li Nuo's heart became even more puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”

"Auntie, are you sure that the guzheng melody you just heard came from that direction?" It took a long time for Li Nuo to ask, and only then did one of the guards step forward and ask with a tangled expression.

Li Nuo nodded suspiciously and firmly: "Yes, the voice I heard really came from that direction. ”

"However, that garden is a forbidden place in the palace, only on the eighth day of the second month, the emperor will order someone to clean it, usually, no one enters the garden, but no one dares to enter." The guard looked left and right, and saw that there were no outsiders except for a few of them, so he dared to say to Li Nuo.

However, as soon as the guard said this, Li Nuo became even more curious: "Why is it only on the eighth day of the second month that the emperor will order someone to clean up?" Why don't you let people in on weekdays? Why is it a forbidden place? ”

"Auntie, it's not that the little ones don't want to say it, but no one dares to talk about this matter in the entire palace, if the emperor hears it, it will be difficult to protect his life." The little guard said with a look of trepidation.

He saw that Li Nuo seemed to want to ask something more, so he spoke again: "Auntie, you have only been in the palace for a short time, there are too many secrets in this palace, and the people who know many secrets in this palace are either high-ranking or dead. ”

"We can't afford to take this risk, so the less my aunt knows about the things in this palace, the better." The other guards echoed the little guard's words.

Speaking of which, no matter what Li Nuo wanted to ask them, they didn't want to say anything more, but blindly persuaded Li Nuo: "Auntie, let's go back, it's better not to know these things." ”

After they said this, Li Nuo became even more curious about the peach garden, and she wanted to see what the so-called forbidden land looked like, and what secrets were in it.

However, even if she was so curious, all these guards were staring at her at the moment, and even if she wanted to go to the peach garden again, they would definitely stop her and prevent her from going.

She took one last look in the direction where the guzheng melody had just come from, sighed faintly, then retracted her gaze and said to the guards, "Then let's go!" ”

After speaking, Li Nuo no longer looked at the expressions of the guards, turned around, and walked forward on his own.

She had been looking for so long in the vicinity of the village before and had not heard any news about her background, and she had been pessimistic at that time, perhaps her parents didn't want to find her at all, so they didn't want her to find them.

It's been just her wishful thinking looking for them. That's why she's been looking for so long, and she can't find any clues other than the broken melody.

However, just when she was already disillusioned and felt that she would never find her biological parents again in her life, she accidentally heard the melody that she had heard countless times in her dreams in the palace.

It's just that when I wanted to look for it, the melody suddenly broke off. It's like the person who played the guzheng was deliberately avoiding her.

Thinking of this, Li Nuo's excitement was instantly extinguished, perhaps, her family didn't want her to find them at all.

Although she didn't know why the other party was reluctant to see her, she knew that the other party must have a hard time.

Therefore, when she walked back, she secretly made up her mind in her heart, she must find an opportunity to come to the peach garden to see it in person, she must find the person who plays the guzheng, and that person must be her relatives.

Since Li Nuo returned to Ning Yunxiao's dormitory from the cold palace, Li Nuo spent the rest of the day in a daze, even Ning Yunxiao called her several times, as if she hadn't heard it.

"Lino." This is the fifth time that Ning Yunxiao has called her.

Hearing Ning Yunxiao shouting to himself, Li Nuo hurriedly came back to his senses, and his empty eyes focused on Ning Yunxiao's face: "What is the master calling me?" ”

"I've called you several times, and you haven't heard you." Ning Yunxiao frowned slightly, and asked with some concern, "Li Nuo, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." Li Nuo hurriedly shook his head.

In fact, she has been thinking about the melody coming from the direction of the peach garden today, and she has been thinking about whether she has any relatives in the palace.

Also, when she entered the palace for the first time, she had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the palace, what was going on?

If these kinds of doubts were separated, maybe she wouldn't think much about it, but now that she thinks about it, these things seem to be inextricably linked.

Thinking about it casually, Li Nuo was distracted again, she had too many doubts and didn't know who to ask.

"Lino." Hearing the voice, Li Nuo came back to his senses, and then looked at Ning Yunxiao's worried eyes again, in this strange but somewhat familiar palace, only Ning Yunxiao would care about whether she was okay.

Li Nuo's heart warmed, she actually couldn't bear to let Ning Yunxiao worry about her, she smiled a little embarrassedly: "Master, I'm fine." ”

"Is it because I have arranged too many things for you to do in the past two days?" Ning Yunxiao could see that Li Nuo's face was not very good, but she still forced a smile and said that she was fine, which made Ning Yunxiao feel even more distressed. "Why don't you go back and rest early today!"

"It's okay, I'm just ......" Li Nuo heard Ning Yunxiao say this, and hurriedly waved his hand, originally Ning Yunxiao saved her from the hands of Bully Chen, she was already very grateful to Ning Yunxiao and Li Yiyan, and now they not only brought her into the palace, but also trusted her so much, and handed over some things in the harem to her.

In fact, she was still blaming herself in her heart, she was not able to help Ning Yunxiao and Li Yiyan do more, and she still had some self-blame in her heart. Moreover, he came to the palace to serve Ning Yunxiao, how could a subordinate rest earlier than his master.

But before Li Nuo's words were finished, he was interrupted by Ning Yunxiao: "Don't say it, if I let you go back to rest, you will go back to rest." ”

"It's been a hard time for you these past few days." Ning Yunxiao said to Li Nuo with a smile.

Seeing that Li Nuo didn't seem to want to go back, Ning Yunxiao glanced at Yu'er: "Send Li Nuo back to rest first." ”
