"Every penny of what you do will be recorded, not only with them, but also with me."

As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and pointed at his head, leaning down a little more, his face was almost an inch away from my face, and the hot breath blew to the tip of my nose, burning me constantly shrinking, and then he poked into my ear and said in a low voice: "Don't forget, outside the Imperial Village, there is a Shangyang Palace!" ”

My mind buzzed, and it went blank.

Outside the Huangzhuang, there is also a Shangyang Palace.

Even if I can walk through this towering palace wall, even if I can leave this imperial city with nine layers and three halls, there is still a Shangyang Palace in front of me!

When the last shaking bead curtain calmed down, the entire Yonghe Palace fell into silence, leaving only the sound of falling snow outside the window, and the warm incense curling in the stove in the house, all of which were so quiet.

I slowly lifted the beaded curtain and walked in.

The emperor was still lying on the bed, his pale face looked a little stiff in the flickering candlelight, he closed his eyes again, and seemed to be about to fall asleep, I walked gently to the bed, the quilt was tightened for him, and a piece of plum cake was added to the incense burner.

After doing this, when I turned around, I found that he had opened his eyes again, and I hurriedly walked over: "Your Majesty." ”

"......" he looked at me in silence.

"Your Majesty, what do you command, the slave maid has always been here."

“……”

He was still silent, so silent that the sound of the falling snow outside the house was clearer, and I wondered why he had left me to spend the night for him, for I was the strangest of all of them, and now he didn't speak, nor did he give any instructions, and I didn't know what he meant.

Just when I was puzzled, I noticed that his lips were opening and closing slightly, as if to say something, and hurriedly attached to his ear, but I could not hear anything.

But when I got so close, I found that his eyes were almost full of red bloodshots, and the circles under his eyes were also heavy and black, as if he hadn't slept for a long time, and his lips were very chapped, so I hurriedly went to get some honey and mixed it with warm water, and brought it to his lips, and he looked at me and drank it carefully.

After drinking, he looked at me again, and I gently wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief.

"Your Majesty, please rest early, the slave will always guard you."

“……”

He looked at me for a long time, but his eyes were still not very bright, and when he looked at me fixedly, as if he were examining something, I went out in an orderly manner, sat down on a small stool against the beaded curtain, and heard him sigh.

Then he closed his eyes, and after a while, he fell asleep with a deep snort.

This night was the most peaceful night since leaving Yangzhou.

There was no noise, no horses' hooves, no wheezing like a nightmare, but I couldn't sleep, and I looked at the room with wide eyes, luxurious, empty, and helpless.

Almost on the fourth watch, I was also a little tired, and my eyelids were fighting, but I sensitively heard a very light footsteps outside the window, stepping on the falling snow, making a creaking sound.

The footsteps came to the door and stopped.

Who is it?

Who is it?

I suddenly came to my senses, carefully stood up and walked to the door, listening to the movement outside with bated breath, but I heard a very soft laughter, and the person outside the door said gently: "Qingying, you are at the door." ”

Yes, Pei Yuanxiu?
