Chapter Twenty-Six: A Chance Encounter

The atrium is white arboreal crows, and the cold dew is silent wet osmanthus. Tonight, the moon is bright, and I don't know whose house the autumn thoughts are. Such a bleak autumn night added a sense of melancholy to Ji Yueqin's heart.

There are only sporadic people in the huge palace, which adds a bit of desolation, and the sound of Xiao that sounded in the middle of the night does not know where it came from, Ji Yueqin had to look for the source of Xiao Sheng along the palace wall.

Because Ji Yueqin didn't hold the lantern, she just groped her way forward because of the moonlight. The place where Xiao Sheng came from seemed to be far away, and Ji Yueqin didn't know how long she had been walking, and she vaguely saw a man in a crescent white robe, standing like a fairy, but there was a faint sense of sadness in the back.

Ji Yueqin stood behind the rockery, she didn't know who the man was, but under the moonlight, it seemed that the man was even more resolute.

She was a little distracted, but she didn't know whether to disturb the melancholy man, but her foot accidentally kicked the stone on the ground, which was especially loud on this quiet night.

The man standing in the moonlight heard the sound, turned his head vigilantly and stared in the direction of Ji Yueqin, and shouted: "Who! ”

Ji Yueqin secretly screamed that it was not good, why was she so reckless, but since she had been found to continue to hide behind the rockery, it was not good, so she had to come out from behind the rockery.

The man was also stunned when he saw that it was a thin little girl, how could there be people here at such a late hour.

"Who are you? Why is it here. The man's voice was very cold, and he asked Ji Yueqin unceremoniously.

"I ...... It's tranquility. Ji Yueqin hesitated, not knowing whether to tell this man his identity, but he didn't know the identity of this man yet, so it was better for him not to act rashly?

"Tranquility? Which palace are you a palace maid? Why do you still appear here late at night without resting? The man seemed to misunderstand Ji Yueqin for a palace maid, and there was no trace of emotion in his tone.

Ji Yueqin saw that the man mistakenly thought that he was a palace maid, and she was also relieved: "The slave maid is the palace maid of Qianxi Palace." I came here late at night because the slave couldn't sleep, and I heard the sound of Xiao, so I came looking for this sound of Xiao. ”

The man was also stunned when he heard Ji Yueqin's words, and his face was obviously much softened, but he was still cold and rejecting people thousands of miles away.

Ji Yueqin secretly looked at the man in front of her, and saw that the man was about twelve or thirteen years old, and the crescent white robe on his body was made of excellent satin, which was very clean but a little old. The moonlight poured on the man's body, making the man's body exude a white brilliance, as if he had been born into the world.

The hair is casually draped, but it is not sloppy but has a sense of dust. Carefully observing his facial features, I saw his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and the faint sadness and an ethereal feeling in his eyes seemed to take away people's souls.

The autumn wind blew the hem of his clothes, as if he was going to ride the wind back anytime and anywhere, and the crescent white robe highlighted the outstanding temperament of the man, Ji Yueqin had never seen a man come out of the world like this.

"Who are you?" Ji Yueqin had a good impression of this man.

The man chuckled, but did not answer Ji Yueqin's question, and turned to leave the pavilion.

Ji Yueqin was a little annoyed in her heart, feeling that this man was a little rude, and when she saw him leaving, she also turned around and wanted to return to Qianxi Palace by the same way.

But this black light is blinding, how did she come to this place, Ji Yueqin doesn't understand, let alone how to go back. She could only wander around the huge palace like a night wanderer.

In the Qianxi Palace here, Xiuzhu kept vigil for Ji Yueqin, but when he went to see if Ji Yueqin's quilt was tucked up, he found that Ji Yueqin was not in bed.

So Xiuzhu was in a hurry, and hurriedly went everywhere to find Ji Yueqin, the county lord didn't know the road in the palace, and Xiuzhu was afraid that he wouldn't find Ji Yueqin, and he didn't dare to disturb the sleeping queen mother, so he was anxious.

If you find the emperor, it is estimated that it will cause a bigger mess, according to the emperor's favor for Ji Yueqin, he will definitely be punished, and he will turn the palace upside down.

Xiuzhu didn't know what to do for a while, and suddenly she remembered Nan Xuanyu, seeing Nan Xuanyu's appearance towards Ji Yueqin, she should help herself find Ji Yueqin.

So Xiuzhu hurriedly took the lantern and rushed to the Purple Light Palace.

......

The lights on the side of the Purple Light Hall were also turned off early, and when Xiuzhu hurried to the Purple Light Palace, he was stopped by the palace people outside.

"Aunt Xiuzhu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already slept, please stop tomorrow if there is anything." Xiao Xiangzi yawned and said lazily to the embroidered bamboo.

"No, I'm going to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now! Xiao Xiangzi, let me go in to see His Royal Highness the Prince! It's really important! Xiuzhu was sweating in a hurry, but Xiao Xiangzi stopped himself here, how could Xiuzhu not be in a hurry.

Xiao Xiangzi was still indifferent, and said: "Auntie, please go back, if you disturb the dream of His Royal Highness the Prince, we can't afford to be slaves!" It's better to be early tomorrow! ”

Xiuzhu saw that Xiao Xiangzi was not accommodating, so he rushed in regardless of it, but before he entered the hall, he was stopped by the eunuch who was keeping vigil.

"Auntie, what are you doing! Do you know that trespassing in the Purple Light Temple is a big crime! Xiao Xiangzi saw Xiuzhu rushing in, and he was drowsy and woke up in fright, so he hurriedly followed.

"Little Shoko, you just let your aunt in! There is really something very important to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Xiuzhu was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Xiao Xiangzi was also a little overwhelmed when he saw Xiuzhu's eager appearance, but if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really blamed him, he really couldn't bear this responsibility.

At this moment, Nan Xuanyu's voice sounded: "What's going on?" ”

The candles in the house were lit, and Nan Xuanyu, who was sleeping, was woken up by Xiuzhu, so he got up to see what was going on.

Here Xiuzhu and Xiao Xiangzi both knelt on the ground, Xiao Xiangzi saw that the prince was woken up, so he also said stubbornly: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Aunt Xiuzhu rushed in the middle of the night to say that she had something important to see you, but you were sleeping, and the slave didn't dare to quarrel with you, so he stopped Aunt Xiuzhu at the door." ”

"It's not about Xiao Xiangzi, it's the slave who insists on seeing His Royal Highness the Prince! The slave and maid are guilty, but the slave and maid really have something important to disturb His Royal Highness the Prince. Xiuzhu said to Nan Xuanyu with red eyes.

Seeing Xiuzhu's appearance, Nan Xuanyu was afraid that something would happen to Ji Yueqin, so he hurriedly said, "Is there something wrong with Sister Yue?" Let's talk about what's going on! ”

"The county lord of Anning is gone!" Xiuzhu's voice was crying, now she is not afraid of being blamed, now what she wants is to find Ji Yueqin.

"What do you say! Sister Moon is gone? You make it clear! When Nan Xuanyu heard that Ji Yueqin was gone, he was also a little anxious, and hurriedly asked.

Xiuzhu listened to Nan Xuanyu's words, and hurriedly poured beans into the bamboo tube and said that he couldn't find Ji Yueqin.

When Nan Xuanyu heard this, he hurriedly changed his clothes and took the palace people of the Purple Light Hall to look for Ji Yueqin separately.

"Sister Yue, where are you?" Nan Xuanyu shouted while looking for it, and he went straight to the direction of the Imperial Garden.

Here, Ji Yueqin walked around in the dark, and she didn't know where she had gone. She faintly heard the sound of water, maybe she was near some pond.

By the moonlight, she saw a stone table not far ahead, and she was tired of walking, so she was ready to go there to rest.

Sitting on the stone bench, Ji Yueqin couldn't help but feel cold, the closer it was to the late autumn, the colder the weather became, Ji Yueqin just wanted to walk casually when she went out, but she didn't want to get lost, she didn't wear much, so she was naturally a little cold.

She sat on the stone bench and quietly looked at the moon in the sky, it was the fifth day of the first lunar month, and a round of Emei moon hung in the sky, exuding its subtle light.

She didn't know what kind of scenery was in the Moon Palace when the world was so cold. The rabbit cold toad is cold osmanthus white, and this night wall should be broken. Does Chang'e regret stealing the elixir and being lonely in this bleak Moon Palace.

Thinking about it, is he also like this, alone in this deep palace, how can he not be a bleak and lonely existence.

Ji Yueqin was a little sad, curled up on the stone bench, and the back looked even more lonely.

At this time, she faintly heard someone calling her.

"Sister Moon! Where are you! The voice shouted with a hint of nervousness, a little hoarse.

The voice is getting louder and louder, it's Nan Xuanyu!

"Brother Yu, I'm here!" When Ji Yueqin heard that Nan Xuanyu was coming to her, she was overjoyed, so she stood up and responded.

When Nan Xuanyu heard Ji Yueqin's voice, the nervousness on his face faded, and he said happily: "Sister Yue? Where are you? ”

"I'm here! I'm here! Ji Yueqin shouted to Nan Xuanyu with some emotion.

Nan Xuanyu crossed the trail and saw Ji Yueqin standing not far away, and his heart hurt, so he rushed over and hugged Ji Yueqin in his arms.

"It's good to find it, don't run around next time." Nan Xuanyu hugged Ji Yueqin in his arms, feeling the coldness of the villain in his arms, and hugged him a little tighter.

Ji Yueqin looked up at Nan Xuanyu's well-defined face, her consciousness was blurred for a while, and her voice floated out: "Brother Yu, ......" and passed out in front of him.

Nan Xuanyu looked down at Ji Yueqin's face that was a little purple because of the cold, but found that Ji Yueqin had fainted, he touched Ji Yueqin's forehead with his hand, only to find that her forehead was a little hot, so he hurriedly hugged Ji Yueqin and wanted to run to the palace.

Nan Xuanyu hugged the little person in his arms, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed, but he was more afraid that the villain in his hands was so fragile, which gave birth to the idea that he wanted to take good care of her.

"Someone! Pass on the Imperial Doctor! Nan Xuanyu rushed into his bed with Ji Yueqin in his arms, he put Ji Yueqin flat in his quilt, but his hand held Ji Yueqin tightly, as if he would lose Ji Yueqin if he let go.

The palace people and Xiuzhu, who were still looking for Ji Yueqin here, also learned that the prince had found Ji Yueqin, so they also rushed back to the Purple Light Palace, and Nan Xuanyu hurriedly asked someone to boil water to boil ginger soup.

The palace people persuaded Nan Xuanyu to go to sleep, but Nan Xuanyu insisted on waiting for Ji Yueqin to wake up, so he held Ji Yueqin's hand and fell asleep by the bed.
