The Chinese New Year is coming, and the palace is full of lights and colors, but the Cheng'en Hall in the East Palace. Liu Fan pretended to be sick after returning from Dongling. The Cheng'en Hall is different from the usual singing and dancing of birds, and is very lively. It is quiet and only melodious.
The sound of the flute lingered from time to time, which was somewhat inconsistent with the atmosphere in the palace.
"Call Xiaozhu to come in." Liu Fan lay down on the soft couch, put down the book in his hand, and ordered the maid beside him.
The palace maid exited and called Xiaozhu, who was wearing a green palace dress and sitting on the pillar playing the flute, into the palace.
"You all get out." Liu Fan dismissed the palace ladies and eunuchs and stared at Xiao Zhu without saying a word.
"Your Highness." Xiaozhu raised his head slightly and glanced at him.
"I still can't let go without seeing her wake up with my own eyes." Liu Fan frowned.
Xiao Zhu looked at her with a deep sadness in her eyes, as if she was stabbed by his distrust. She whispered: "Next month is the death anniversary of the Imperial Concubine, and His Highness must go to Sanqing Temple to worship.
Then of course we can meet the princess. Doesn’t it mean that His Highness doesn’t believe Xiaozhu’s oath?”
Liu Fan met her eyes and pondered for a while before saying, "Are there any dangers along the way?"
"The dangers are all unknown, and no one can guarantee them. However, Wuyou and Mengmeng Scholars are highly skilled in martial arts and can be dealt with by ordinary people. Your Highness, don't worry too much." Xiaozhu said.
"How can I not worry?" Liu Fan smiled bitterly. He took the flute in Xiaozhu's hand, walked to the window, and played a whimpering song, all the sadness of separation was in the song.
Xiaozhu stood behind him, staring blankly at his tall and straight back. "Your Highness, Xiaozhu will leave the palace tonight to escort them up the mountain." She said using the secret voice transmission method.
Liu Fan's flute sound suddenly stopped, and after a moment of silence, he looked back at her and nodded.
The snowy sky darkened early, but Liu Fan felt as if he had been waiting for a long, long time before it was completely dark. Xiao Zhu seemed to be as if nothing had happened and had been following him silently to serve him.
After dinner, Liu Fan went to Cining Palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager as usual. He came back and read a book for a while, and finally couldn't hold himself back and looked at her with searching eyes.
Xiao Zhu lowered his head with no expression at all. Liu Fan had no choice but to continue reading with his head lowered. When he arrived at the palace, he couldn't meditate and practice, so he could only recite the inner law silently and guide his inner energy to circulate around his body.
After the third watch, Xiaozhu said softly: "Your Highness, it's getting late. You can have some rest."
Liu Fan put down his book, stretched out, looked at the maids and eunuchs in the palace, waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please go down." After sending the people away from the palace, he asked Xiaozhu via voice transmission: "Can you leave?
"
"Yes." Xiaozhu agreed, then floated out, his sleeves fluttering slightly, and a faint fragrance suddenly filled the courtyard of Cheng'en Palace. The guards guarding the courtyard and the palace maids and eunuchs on duty all had dim eyes and sleepy eyes.
sleep.
Xiaozhu returned to the palace and took off her palace attire. Inside was still the black men's shorts she had worn outside. She took out a black scarf from her arms and covered her face. After saying "let's go", she flew out like a ghost.
He jumped onto the rafter silently, and after a few jumps he disappeared.
Liu Fan walked to the door and watched him off. After half an hour, he didn't hear any unusual movement in the palace, so he turned back and lay on the bed with his hands on the pillow, staring at the roof in a daze, not feeling sleepy at all.
Xiaozhu was familiar with the terrain of the palace. She avoided the patrolling guard team and quietly flew out of the palace wall like a light swallow. Then she used Qinggong to fly through the streets and alleys, flew out of the city gate, and chased in the direction of Sanqing Temple.
And go.
Luo Lianyi and his party stopped in a small town that night. Luo Lianyi's injuries from the fall were somewhat relieved, but riding in a carriage was still quite uncomfortable. In order to take care of her, everyone had to slow down their walking speed.
After checking into the inn, for the sake of safety, Jiang Feng decided to divide everyone into two groups and take turns guarding Luo Lianyi, Wuyou and Yunshang. Xiao Gudong guarded them for the first half of the night, and he, Ni'er, and Xiaohui guarded them for the second half of the night.
Luo Lianyi was sleeping on the bed, thinking that there were people outside guarding her, and her heart felt warm. Days of running around had made her extremely tired, but she was tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep. Today was the 28th of the old calendar, and the Chinese New Year would be the day after tomorrow. She recalled the past years
In the scene of celebrating the New Year at home, she began to miss her parents again. In the days to come, they would be very sad without her as a blessing, and the New Year would also be deserted. Although she also told Brother Feng Lin that the real ripples might have gone there.
Replacing her, but after all, it was her nonsense to comfort Feng Lin. How could there be such a bizarre thing in the world?
Brother Feng Lin! She suddenly thought of him. How is he now? Was he killed, or did he sneak into the Xiling harem? He is so timid. Without her by his side, I don’t know how he will survive!
And Father Wu, Public Security, and the others, after she went to Sanqing Temple, how did they get the antidote to her? Half a month passed in an instant, what should I do when the poison of the Heart-biting Powder takes effect? And Liu Fan, her thoughts
Is he so restless because he misses her?
The future is dark, will the ending of time travel be a comedy or a tragedy?
"Who!" Brother Jiang Feng shouted from outside. She sat up vigilantly and listened. "Ah--" a harsh and unpleasant scream, followed by the sound of weapons clashing. She hurriedly put on her clothes and started
He got up from the bed and stood nervously in the middle of the room.
"Sister Lianyi, don't be afraid, little Gudong is here." The door opened, and little Gudong came to her with Sable in his arms and held her hand.
"Little Gudong." Luo Lianyi held his hand tightly. Although Little Gudong was small, he had martial arts skills and sables. Luo Lianyi felt that he felt very safe around him.
"Let's go out and take a look. The opponent is very powerful. You will be able to see through the martial arts moves. I have sable, and we may be able to help a little." Little Gudong looked solemn, like a little adult.
"Okay, let's go." Luo Lianyi agreed, and the two held hands and ran out of the room. The fighting was already fierce outside, the seats in the inn were beaten to pieces, the guests staying in the hotel were crying and shouting, and it was a mess. The shopkeeper's midnight
After being woken up, he trembled with fear and hid in the corner, begging everyone to stop, but no one would hear him. Luo Lianyi took little Gudong and ran to him and said: "Uncle, don't worry, we will pay you some silver later."
, you hide in a safer place and be careful of getting hurt."
"Hey -" the shopkeeper nodded with a mournful face, took his family and shop assistants, and shouted to the guests to leave the inn through the back door and hide in an open space farther away.
"Sister Lianyi, can you see the moves?" Xiao Gudong looked intently at the masked man fighting Wuyou and asked.
Luo Lianyi watched intently as the man in black forced Wuyou back, frowned and shook his head: "I can't tell, it seems Wuyou is at a disadvantage."
"We can only release the mink!" Xiao Gudong said "shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh", and the sable shot out from his arms like an arrow, leaping towards the masked man, but the masked man was faster than the mink, and raised a sleeve arrow.
