Shuanghua Palace is very small, with only a small patio.
At night, only a lantern was lit on the corridor, and there were shadows and silence.
Master Mu Yunhan didn't want to disturb anyone, so he walked slowly in the courtyard.
A bird flew by, and its sound was particularly loud in this silent night.
Mu Yunhan was startled, and Xiaomi said: "Let's go back, your injury hasn't healed yet."
Mu Yunhan nodded, and the two of them led each other back to the room.
Xiaomi closed the door, took off her cloak, and whispered: "Someone is spying."
Mu Yunhan said: "I guessed it."
Xiaomi was worried: "I don't know how long I will live in this palace. I always feel that I am on someone else's territory and I am not secure."
Suddenly I heard Yu'er whisper through the window: "Miss Mu... are you awake?"
Xiao Mira opened the door and apologized: "I'm sorry, I disturbed my aunt."
Yu'er saluted and said with a smile: "Our Highness heard someone joking around here, so he asked me to come over and have a look."
Xiaomi and Mu Yunhan looked at each other: "Are you kidding?"
The two of them only exchanged a few words, and they kept their voices low for fear of disturbing others.
Why did Princess Huaichang hear them joking?
Yu'er looked at their expressions and lowered her voice: "What's wrong?"
Mu Yunhan said softly: "We are not joking."
Yu'er looked around in horror and slowly backed away.
Mu Yunhan winked, and the two of them separated to check the room.
There are no traces of outsider invasion.
So where did the laughter that Princess Huaichang heard come from?
Mu Yunhan took Xiaomi's hand and wrote in her palm: "Have you heard anyone laughing?"
Xiaomi shook his head.
Xuan Jin got out of the bed tent, jumped on the low cabinet, stretched, glanced at Mu Yunhan, and ran away as fast as lightning.
Mu Yunhan frowned: "What does it do?"
Immediately afterwards, footsteps sounded, and Princess Huaichang rushed in wrapped in a cloak, her palm-sized face full of horror.
"Sister Mu, I..." Princess Huaichang muttered awkwardly, very embarrassed, which was very different from her usual dignified and generous nature, "I'm afraid."
There was no charcoal fire at night, and it was freezing everywhere. Mu Yunhan pulled back the quilt and said, "Your Highness, if you don't mind it, go up and cover it."
"Hey!" Princess Huaichang jumped onto the bed unceremoniously and covered herself with the quilt obediently: "Sister, why don't you come up and lie down?"
Mu Yunhan didn't think he and Huaichang were familiar enough to sleep under the same quilt, so he smiled and said, "Your Highness, please sleep. Xiaomi and I will check around. Did you hear any laughter somewhere?"
"Over there, it sounds like a woman's voice, laughing so happily... No one in the palace would dare to laugh like that..."
Princess Huaichang felt guilty: "That's why I thought it was you."
Xiaomi was about to go out with a lantern to watch. When Princess Huaichang saw that Mu Yunhan was going to accompany her, she quickly stopped her and said, "Sister Mu, don't leave. What will I do if you leave?"
Mu Yunhan suddenly laughed. Princess Huaichang came to her specifically for comfort, but she left her in the room and followed Xiaomi. It was really not a problem.
Then he went back and sat by the bed to comfort Huaichang: "Don't be afraid, Your Highness, I will guard you here. You can sleep."
Princess Huaichang held her hand and gestured to get out of bed: "Sister Mu, you are still injured, how can I occupy your bed and let you sit there all night watching me?"
If you don't come up, I'll sit with you all night, and we'll share in the difficulties. How about that?" (To be continued)
