"Don't worry, close your eyes for now."

"good……"

He felt Zhuge Qing's movement, and at the same time heard several sounds of swords slashing at each other, roars and muffled screams.

Finally, the surrounding area became unreal and quiet, and there were a few footsteps approaching.

"Mr. Zhuge! Things are ready here."

"Thank you for your help. I'm waiting to meet up with my companions from Donghe Hall."

"yes."

Qing'er fell to the ground, staring blankly at these imperial guards who were undoubtedly in the palace on weekdays. They dragged away the defeated imperial guards of Lu Wuxian's faction, or ran back and forth with torches to report.

Zhuge Qing's face suddenly came into her sight.

"Hey, monkey."

"..."

"You are really messing around! Can you stand up?"

"..."

"Are you even weak-footed?"

Qing'er couldn't even refute.

Zhuge Qing picked her up and walked directly over the fallen imperial soldier.

"Oh my, it looks like you are just a palace concubine, but there is still no way to change you, this perverted monkey."

"..."

"If your parents find out, they will cry and worry that no one will ask for a kiss!"

"I want you to take care of..."

"Oh, what, can you speak already?"

He looked at his face at close range, and Qing'er couldn't help but look away.

"Put me down, I was just a little surprised... I can go."

"That's it! Be careful not to fall, and hold on tight."

"...Are you listening to me?"

"Listening!"

Holding Qing'er's arm hard, Zhuge Qing said stiffly in a tone different from his usual frivolous tone: "But! I saw you were almost killed with my own eyes, can you think of me too? I was too scared to let go.

Open for you."

Qing'er finally realized that Zhuge Qing was angry.

"Well...I'm really sorry for causing you to worry."

"If you are truly sorry, don't do the same thing again."

"It's not like I like being chased..."

"Anyway, if you quit the palace, I can't let you stay in such a dangerous place anymore."

"Hello……"

Qing'er couldn't help but straighten up her upper body, and Zhuge Qing quickly hugged Qing'er again.

"Don't move too much, you may fall."

"It's so simple to tell me to resign. I came here because I was kicked out of my family! Didn't you just say that where can I, a bastard who can't change, go back?"

"Don't yell in my ear! You are my bride, just come to my house!"

"Go to your house...what?"

Qing'er froze her raised fist.

Zhuge Qing sighed heavily.

"You will mess around. I've known your personality to be like this since you were a child. But when you dance, hey, I'm thinking, it would be better not to let you stay on the street and attract strange flies. If you mess around, you will

You must be placed where I can see you, otherwise I will be worried to death."

"..."

"If you have any objections, just say it now. If you have no other objections, we will visit your parents tomorrow. As for my parents, they already know about it."

Zhuge Qing shook Qing'er in his arms as if he were treating a child.

Qing'er recalled it bit by bit, thinking about the meaning of these words.

"...Zhuge Qing."

"how?"

"Which wife am I yours?"

"What?" Zhuge Qing said in astonishment from the bottom of his heart: "Why are you asking such a strange question? Of course it's the eldest wife!"

"Big wife..."

"What a strange guy. Besides, there is no such thing as a wife. How many other wives do you want me to marry besides you? I don't do such troublesome things."

Zhuge Qing murmured unhappily.

Finally, big tears welled up in Qing'er's eyes.

Seeing Qing'er wiping her face with her sleeves and sobbing, Zhuge Qing just hugged her tighter without saying a word.

…

Shui Xinyuan, who sneaked into Donghe Hall under cover of darkness, must find a way to get rid of her pursuers first.

Because she didn't come in through the normal door, she had no idea where she was at the moment.

He listened carefully, but the voice of the Imperial Guard was no longer heard.

Just as the clouds dispersed and the full moon illuminated the surroundings again, Shui Xinyuan stopped for a moment and looked around.

This is a garden, but it's not the one Shui Xinyuan usually walks through, the one in front of Lu Fusu's room.

...It is impossible for a noble daughter to appear in the garden...

She must be inside the house, but Donghe Hall is composed of three large buildings, each connected by a corridor. Shui Xinyuan had no idea which room Bao Ji would be in.

Is this really the Donghe Hall? Is this really the garden where Lu Fusu has come to find her many times? She was filled with uneasiness.

Shui Xinyuan looked up at the moon.

At that time, I felt that the moon here was so far away, and it felt different from the moon in my hometown...

I originally thought that one day I might be able to get close enough to reach out my hand.

When he gave up resisting his own fate, he also cut off the remaining longing for his hometown.

Here, I am determined to be the best dancer and decide to live only for one person.

...I am here for you, because you are my light.

"..."

Shui Xinyuan stepped forward.

If you don't know where it is, just look for it.

Just standing there, nothing will change.

She walked through the unfamiliar garden, crossed a corridor, and came to the garden on the other side.

There is a large pond in the center, and across the pond, you can see another corridor.

One, two, or three lights were moving at the same speed as a person walking.

Shui Xinyuan crossed the railing and returned to the corridor. He held his breath and lowered his posture to avoid making footsteps, and headed in the same direction as the lights in the distance.

Eyes that have become accustomed to the darkness can see the procession. The leader holding a candle seems to be a maid, followed by a woman in fine clothes, followed by another maid holding a candle, and then a maid holding some kind of slender pot.

Woman, and some distance away is another man holding a candle? There are five people in the group.

The team then turned the corner and was about to enter the building.

"...!"

Shui Xinyuan walked through the corridor on the other side across the pond, and both parties came to the corner almost at the same time.

They faced off against the male and female teams holding lights at the ends of both sides of the corridor.

The team advanced for a while, and finally the leading maid stopped.

She held up the candle in her hand to illuminate the girl standing in front of her, blocking her way.

"who is it?"
