Chapter 71: Even though ants are small, they still hope to survive in this world
Inside the east hall of Yaohua Palace.
Wen Li'er was lying on the bed.
She looked at the figure standing beside the bed and whispered instructions.
"Your Highness, I'm going to sleep now. Please go back and be careful."
There is still some distance from Yaohua Hall to Yuqing Hall.
I was worried that there were still some assassins hiding in the palace who had not been killed.
"Don't worry, I will pay attention."
Yan Shixu tucked in the quilt for her, then leaned over to give her a kiss on the forehead and left in an instant.
He was actually a little reluctant to leave.
Being with her is like being in a piece of soft cotton.
You can get maximum relaxation.
But now lying in the same bed with her, he was always worried that he would press on her belly.
Therefore, it would be more appropriate to return to Yuqing Palace.
After Yan Shixu left for a long time, Wen Li'er was still looking towards the palace gate with her big eyes open.
She slowly closed her eyes until she was sure she could no longer hear his footsteps.
The night deepens.
The earth on a winter night is covered with a thick coat of snow.
The moonlight penetrates the cold air and covers the snow with a soft veil.
Squeak...
The heavy palace door was slowly pushed open.
A figure wrapped in a black nightgown slowly squeezed out from the crack of the door.
This man is thin and has no sense of strength.
But she was wearing a scary evil ghost mask on her face.
There were still a few lines of bright red blood dripping down the mask.
It fell on the chest of the black figure and formed a large pool.
The black shadow walked to the bottom of a courtyard wall, lifted the wooden ladder standing at the corner onto his shoulder, and slowly walked towards the east hall.
In the side room at the rear of the main hall, Cui Luo yawned deeply and forced herself not to fall asleep.
Her constant tossing and turning and yawning disturbed Cui Yu, who lived in the same room with her, and made her unable to sleep.
Cuiyu was slightly annoyed.
She scolded, "Are you going to sleep or not? I finally get a night's sleep, and you're still tormenting me!"
Cui Luo felt a little sorry when she saw that she had woken her up.
"Cui Yu, I thought I heard the master get up earlier. Let's go and serve him."
Cuiyu rolled her eyes and was speechless.
"Are you born with a pair of super hearing? How do you know the master is awake?"
"Besides, the master said that we won't be allowed to serve him tonight. If you come forward, won't you be scolded?"
Thinking of Yang Fengyi's violent temper, Cui Luo also shrank her neck in fear.
But she couldn't understand why her master wanted to send everyone back to their rooms tonight?
Also, she did vaguely hear the sound of the palace door opening.
Cui Luo always felt that something bad would happen tonight, and her heart was extremely uneasy.
"Cui Yu, why doesn't the master let us serve him? Don't you think this is abnormal?"
Cui Yu soon lost her sleepiness as she kept nagging at her.
She also lifted the quilt and sat up, her confused mind was in a daze for a while.
Not knowing what she was thinking of, she suddenly turned around to look at Cui Luo and swallowed.
"Did the master put a nightgown under the bed during the day?"
Cui Luo nodded, still a little confused.
"Yeah, I don't know where the master got it, but I also saw an extremely scary mask."
As she spoke, she shuddered.
"Their eyeballs were popping out, their mouths were gaping, and a scarlet tongue was showing. If there was a bowl of blood on top of that, it would look like a demon that had just eaten a child. Just one look at it would give me nightmares."
As she spoke, she seemed to realize something.
Cui Yu also reacted and their eyes met hers.
They both said in unison: "Not good!"
The master is courting death again!
The two of them quickly got up from the bed, and their hands couldn't help shaking when they bent down to get their shoes.
Following such a master, their heads are always hanging on their waists.
If the master does anything tonight, their heads will be in danger!
The two men opened the door and rushed directly to the master's bedroom.
Cui Luo ran too fast and slipped on the snow, falling a long way.
But she seemed not to feel the pain, and quickly got up and caught up with Cui Yu in front.
The door of the hall was slightly ajar, and a strong wind blew in through the crack, making the candlelight inside flicker.
The two men stood outside and shouted twice, but heard no response from inside.
They no longer cared about being punished and simply pushed open the door of the hall.
In the sleeping hall.
The master, who should have gone to bed long ago, is now nowhere to be seen.
Cui Luo rushed to the bed, bent down, stretched out her hands, and kept hooking under the bed.
Soon, a bamboo frame was drawn, and it was empty inside.
"No... it's gone, Jade. What should we do?"
Cui Luo's voice was filled with a hint of tears.
She was so scared.
The master must have worn a demon mask to scare Wen Fengyi.
Suddenly seeing a ghost face in the middle of the night would frighten any normal person, let alone a pregnant woman?
If something happened to the emperor's grandson, it is unknown whether Yang Fengyi could still survive.
They will definitely not survive!
Cui Yu's face was also a little pale, but she was obviously much calmer than Cui Luo.
She suddenly pulled him up from the ground and said in a deep voice, "Hurry up and go to Fuyao Palace and tell the Crown Princess about this."
Thinking of something, she paused again and changed her words.
"You should go to Yuqing Palace and tell the Crown Prince about this! Remember to hurry, I'll go stop Yang Fengyi!"
"good."
Cui Yu and Cui Luo rushed out of the main hall, running wildly one in front and one on the right.
In the middle of winter, a layer of scorching sweat appeared on the foreheads of both men.
Although ants are small, they also hope to survive in this world.
They are racing against their own lives.
…
Inside the East Hall.
Yang Xishan successfully climbed over the courtyard wall using a wooden ladder.
The one guarding the palace gate today is Wanquan.
He gathered his thick robe and felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, I wore more clothes tonight, otherwise I would be frozen to death.
The snow is falling too heavily, heavier than in previous years.
As he was guarding, Wan Quan couldn't help but yawn again.
He rubbed his frozen face and forced himself to cheer up.
He was fighting the sleepyhead here and didn't notice anything unusual.
And under the high wall on the right side of the courtyard, a black figure was sneaking towards the bedroom.
Inside the bedroom, a row of embroidered screens divides the hall into two.
There is a small couch next to the screen in the outer hall.
Out of the master's consideration, the palace maid in charge of night watch sleeps here.
The charcoal was burning in the hall, and it was very warm. It was so much happier than waiting outside the hall door.
Tonight Qingmei and Lily are in charge of keeping watch, and they have divided the work as usual.
Lily guards the first half of the night, and Qingmei guards the second half.
At this moment, Lily was sleeping soundly on the small couch, and Qingmei went to the inner hall.
She tucked in the quilt for her master and reached for the teapot on the table.
Seeing that the tea was getting a little cold, she moved the teapot to the iron rack above the charcoal basin and simmered it.
If the master wakes up at night, he usually takes a sip of water.
When Qingmei saw white mist coming out of the teapot, she was about to put the teapot back on the table when she heard a strange noise outside.
It sounded like something falling to the ground.
