Gu Sanshi was not at ease to let Xue Hainiang, who was half-awake and half-drunk, go back to Qiankun Palace alone, so he proposed to give her a ride, but Xue Hainiang righteously refused.

The Tao is that if they are seen on the way, both of them will bear the responsibility of giving and receiving each other.

Hearing this, Gu Sanfang took his thoughts, and saw that although Xue Hainiang's face was red, she was still in a clear state, so she was also relieved, and the two of them parted ways in the Maple Tree Pavilion.

The quiet winding path is winding, Xue Hainiang is afraid that others will notice and cause criticism on the way, so as to choose a forest path that is rarely walked on weekdays, the snow on the road has not been cleared for many days because the palace has been busy with Chinese New Year's Eve and the emperor's birthday in recent days, and Xue Hainiang will leave deep footprints on it with heavy steps.

Looking at the bare treetops and the branches that are still huge, Xue Hainiang could not have imagined that this place must be lush and full of business in early spring.

The forest seemed to have no end in sight, and she couldn't remember how long she had been walking, but she could estimate that it had been half an hour.

Just as she was about to walk back hopelessly, she finally saw a temple standing in an open space in front of her.

The moonlight was faint, and it was because Xue Hainiang failed to see what the scale of the temple was, and when she got closer, she could see clearly, and the residence in the eye was not only magnificent.

It is difficult to interpret one-tenth of its luxury.

At the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate hangs a plaque engraved with high-grade black nanmu, and the gilded characters on it are inscribed with a flowing brushstroke' 'Lishui Pavilion', Rao is already accumulating dust, but with the bright moonlight, Xue Hainiang still distinguishes it.

Lishui Pavilion –

It sounds like the palace of my daughter's house.

The night is as cold as water, and the cold wind is miserable, but it seems that the luxurious palace hidden here by the snow is becoming more and more lonely and cold.

Such an ingenious building, I think that in the past, there must have lived a pivotal person.

Xu is strong in wine, Xue Hainiang is more indulgent and wanton than in the past, if she changes to her prudent and cautious temperament in the past, she will definitely avoid it, for fear of getting into trouble, but now she is brushing away the bare branches and going to the palace through Xi Wei Yuehua.

The red vermilion lacquer door was not locked, and it was stained with some sand and dust, Xue Hainiang gently pushed into the palace, she was already mentally prepared, Rao is a luxurious palace, no one has lived for a long time, and no one has taken care of it, it must be extremely dilapidated.

However, when she crossed the threshold and walked to the courtyard, what she saw was very different from what she expected.

At a glance, the heaven and the earth seem to be dressed in silver, because of the snow for several days, there is already a heavy snow in front of the court, and the scarlet buds standing in the wind are just right to dot the middle.

Xue Hainiang was inevitably a little surprised, if this place has not been inhabited for a long time, who planted the red plum here?

"You're you again?"

Just as she was suspicious and was about to turn away, a shallow and cool voice came into her ears behind her.

It's not the first time Xue Hainiang has been frightened like this today, maybe because of the strength of the wine, but it is not as frightened as Gu San just now, and she calmly turned sideways to take the person into her eyes.

The man had a somewhat indistinguishable and delicate face, amber eyes containing the eyes of others that were unclear to others, and his thin lips were pursed into a line, but the tears and moles in the corners of his eyes seemed to be stained with a little frost.

Xue Hainiang's steps staggered slightly, and the scene of being bullied and humiliated by him in the past quickly passed by, although some time has passed, but the fear, resentment and shame of the past still linger, she is really suspicious, Nan Shuke is really the debt she owed in her previous life? In her previous life, she and Nan Jiuxi joined hands to eradicate her wings, so that the former majestic generals of the three armies returned to the northwest in despair.

Now, he has been grabbed by him several times, could it be that he really responded to that sentence, 'feng shui takes turns'?

"The slave has seen His Royal Highness King Qinghui. Xue Hainiang saluted tremblingly, seeing that the latter did not call her to get up, but only bent her body and let her legs tremble.

"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is the emperor's birthday, why don't you come and wait, Xu is the emperor is happy, and it is better to reward you with some things than for you to rush to offer the concubine." He tilted his head as if he had tilted his head for a moment, looking at the man with his head bowed in respect, and his amber eyes became a little colder.

How could Xue Hainiang not be able to hear the sarcasm and disdain between his words, anger instantly surged into her heart, she was originally a person with a strong temperament and arrogance, and now she has given in to groveling in front of others, and now seeing that Nan Shuke not only did not restrain but became more and more inches, she did not dare to disobey, but how could she swallow her anger and let her be humiliated.

"The slave and the maid were originally quiet people, and the place was too noisy, which was really incompatible with the slave and maid's temperament. ”

Nan Shuke raised his lips with interest and sneered, "I pride myself on seeing people very accurately, and I have a few relationships with you before, I see that Miss Xue is invited to serve in the Qiankun Palace, and the Qiankun Palace has always been a good place, so I guess that Miss Xue should be the one who likes to drill into the lively place, how can it be in Miss Xue's mouth, but it is not in line with the festive place?"

Xue Hainiang's heart flickered, she was stunned and didn't know how to respond, but for a while, she even forgot the soreness of her legs and stomach when she bent her knees, and stared at the white of the place touched by her vision in a daze.

When he said this, he must have been to Xuan Pavilion some time ago and met Beichen Xu and Lin Yan......

The familiar name suddenly came to mind, evoking the past that Xue Hainiang couldn't help but think about.

The sourness on her leg stabbed her nerves, recalling her thoughts for a long time, Xue Hainiang lowered her mind, raised her eyes without the slightest fear and met the cold gaze, her thin lips raised upward, evoking a smile of unknown meaning, "As the saying goes, it is difficult to know the face of a person, and it is only a superficial appearance that His Highness saw in the past." ”

After a pause, before Nan Shuke could speak, he said: "Your Highness, although the slave maid is stupid and stupid, she can also memorize the palace rules backwards, and there seems to be no clear indication in the palace rules that the master can let the innocent servant salute for a quarter of an hour, right? ”

Xue Hainiang dared to point out so bluntly, but it was expected by Nan Shuke, he looked at this girl and drank some wine, as the so-called wine can strengthen her courage, she was already bold last time she looked clear, and now the strength of the wine has played a role, with her unruly temperament, she will fight desperately.

But how could he allow her to get a cheap advantage so easily?

“...... Since this is the case, then ask Miss Xue to memorize the palace rules backwards, so as to prove your words. ”

"......" Xue Hainiang blinked, but was speechless.
