If you could meet the protagonist of the book one day, what would you do?

Wu Qing has imagined many ways of doing this.

She might act like a crazy fan, frantically asking for photos and autographs.

Alternatively, she will quietly approach the protagonist, integrate into the protagonist's daily love adventures, and establish a bond with the protagonist that cannot be underestimated.

Of course, she can still rely on the plot she already knows to show off.

For example...pretending to be some sealed powerful being.

Wu Qing can pretend to be mysterious and tell the protagonist: I am your golden finger, from today on I am your master, no matter how things go wrong, I will never let you down.

At this moment, Zhu Hanfei is living in room 13.

If Wu Qing wanted, she could go see her anytime.

but--

Wu Qing had to admit that when the day came for her to meet the protagonist in person, she felt a little "homesick".

In simple terms, it is...

Wu Qing is a little scared now.

She hadn't figured out how to face Zhu Hanfei.

When you meet someone, you say hello, then what?

You can't really hold it and take a sip.

…

One night, Wu Qing finally made up his mind.

——She wanted to take a sneak peek at Sister Fei’s appearance first to satisfy her curiosity.

Just don't show up in front of Zhu Hanfei.

Wu Qing picked out a set of black casual clothes, crouched down to open the door of his room, and then quietly blended into the dark night.

It was easy to sneak out of Kunning Palace.

It is easy to avoid the guards and imperial guards.

Climbing the three-meter-high wall of Jingyixuan is as easy as pie?

Wu Qing squatted on the edge of the wall, lost in thought in a not-so-elegant posture.

[The book once mentioned that when the late emperor was renovating Jingyixuan, someone secretly embezzled and cut corners.]

[Hmm... This wall looks pretty solid. It shouldn't collapse just under my weight, right?]

Wu Qing was still stroking her chin and thinking, but the sharp-eyed guards had already discovered her whereabouts.

"…There seems to be some movement over there? There seems to be someone on the wall."

Someone pointed in Wu Qing's direction.

"Don't make a fuss. How could there be someone on top of the wall? Maybe it's just a wild cat playing at night."

"...Stupid, would your wild cat squat? It must be a human, go check it out!"

The guards were talking among themselves, and the subtle sound of weapons rubbing against each other was particularly harsh in the silent night.

Wu Qing's heart trembled. She quickly put aside her messy thoughts, flipped to the other side of the wall, and let the wall block her body.

The wall of Jingyixuan is three meters high.

With her physical condition, she wouldn't get hurt if she jumped directly, but foot pain was inevitable.

Today, there is no Prince Ding to serve as a meat cushion for her.

Wu Qing grabbed the edge of the wall with one hand, and his whole body was suspended in mid-air.

She looked downward, searching for a place to rest in the moonlight.

On the other side of the wall, a team of patrolling guards were tracking Wu Qing like hounds.

"Did you hear the noise over here just now?" a guard asked in a low voice.

"Yes, I am sure."

Another guard answered firmly, pointing to the two fallen tiles on the ground, "Look, there are obvious signs that someone has moved here."

The guards would not give up until they found Wu Qing.

Not many people dare to run around at night.

If they catch just one, their chances of promotion will be greatly improved.

Wu Qing felt a chill down his spine, and his hands moved back and forth busily, moving away from where he was.

The curfew in the palace is no joke. Once discovered, the consequences will be disastrous.

She grabbed the wall as if she were grabbing a thick vine, and her body moved back and forth, shuttling through the darkness.

But there were almost no bushes near the wall of Jingyixuan.

Wu Qing searched for a long time but couldn't find a place to land safely.

[…It’s over. I’m a little lost. I don’t know how far this place is from Room 13 in the South Courtyard.]

After hanging in the air for about three minutes, Wu Qing finally caught a glimpse of a solitary tung tree.

Wu Qing estimated the distance between the wall and the tung tree, then decisively let go of his hands, jumped back, and stepped on the branches of the tung tree.

But Wu Qing obviously overestimated the bearing capacity of the tung tree.

There was a slight groan coming from the seemingly tough branches.

Then, a tiny crack quietly spread where she stepped.

Seeing this, a crack appeared on Wu Qing's expression.

[Not good, I'm afraid the tung tree can't bear my weight. ]

[Once the tree falls, it will alarm the eunuchs and palace maids on duty around, so I'd better take my time.]

In order to prevent the tung tree from falling, Wu Qing quickly adjusted his strategy.

She wrapped her arms and legs around the trunk, imitating the movements of a sloth, and slowly climbed down the trunk.

It was okay to act funny, no one would see her anyway.

[Perfect, no damage at all. Both the tree and the people are safe.]

Wu Qing landed safely and breathed a sigh of relief.

She dusted off her clothes and turned around to find Room 13, which she had been longing for.

When she looked back, an ancient palace lantern unexpectedly caught her eye.

The one holding the palace lantern is a bright and beautiful woman.

The candlelight of the palace lanterns was weak and dim, and the hazy light swayed in the night, adding a bit of mystery and charm to her.

In Wu Qing's eyes, she was like the enchanting fairy described in the storybooks, appearing late at night.

However, such a beautiful person now showed a strange expression as if "I have never seen such a creature".

Wu Qing and the beautiful woman stared at each other, neither of them knowing how to start talking.

In the end, Wu Qing, who was in the wrong, was defeated first.

She said awkwardly: "...Hello, I was taking a walk at night and accidentally walked here."

"I'm just a passerby, can you please not report me?"

The beauty's expression became even weirder.

Zhu Hanfei pointed at the wall and slowly repeated Wu Qing's words: "Take a walk?"

What a unique way of taking a walk.

Wu Qing: “…”

One day, she would give up the bad habit of climbing walls and trees.

[God damn it, can you give me another chance to appear? I want to leave a good impression of being dignified and steady on the beautiful girl. ]

The beautiful lady frowned and looked at her for a few seconds.

The person who would appear under the tung tree at this point should be Xing'er, who was beside Concubine Ji.

Zhu Hanfei opened her red lips and asked hesitantly, "Are you... Xing'er?"

Who is Xing Er?

Wu Qing shook his head, nodded, and then shook his head again.

The first shake of his head was Wu Qing's instinctive denial.

The second time he nodded was because Wu Qing thought, if he pretended to be "Xing'er", wouldn't he be able to avoid losing face?

The third time he shook his head was because Wu Qing felt that it was better to be a man with a clear conscience.

【Appearing in such a unique way may leave an indelible impression on the beautiful woman. 】

Wu Qing comforted himself in his heart.

Zhu Hanfei: “…”

Such a simple question actually received three different responses?

So is the other person Xing Er?
