The moon is as cold as water.
There are also people in Xiling Palace who have trouble sleeping at night.
The lights in the imperial study room were on until midnight, but the people working at their desks still had no intention of going back to the bedroom to rest.
Aunt Jin sent tea back and forth several times. She couldn't bear to see the Queen working so hard, and she couldn't bear to persuade her. In the end, she could only sigh silently and wait outside the door to accompany her.
Suddenly, a dark shadow passed through the half-covered flower window, and the candlelight in the room flickered.
The queen raised her head alertly, and the man, dressed in black, slowly walked towards her.
He is tall and burly, with a handsome face. As he gets older, he exudes a more mature and calm demeanor.
Their eyes met, the man's deep eyes were full of longing and pity.
The purple wolf-hair brush between the Queen's fingers rolled down the table with a clatter, the fierce look in her eyes disappeared, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.
"Your Majesty!" Outside the door, Nanny Jin was the first to hear the noise. She opened the door and rushed in. The concealed weapon shot out quickly, "You are a bold thief who dares to assassinate the Emperor——"
"Mommy Jin, stop it!" The Queen knocked down the hidden weapon and blocked it in front of the man. Because her emotions fluctuated too much, her chest also rose and fell, "This person is the spy I arranged outside. We have important things to discuss. You and the guard outside Everyone who is staying should leave together, and there is no need to leave anyone outside the room."
"..." After almost beating one of her own, Grandma Jin did not dare to say anything after receiving the order. She immediately led the people to retreat, closed the door of the royal study room, and led the guards to retreat to the outer door to ensure that the conversation in the room would not be interrupted. into anyone's ears.
When the study became quiet, the man spoke in a deep and mellow voice, with a suppressed smile and restrained thoughts, "A secret agent?"
The queen didn't say anything, but turned to look at him, her eyes filled with tears instantly.
Bai Kui immediately panicked, wanting to wipe her tears, but was afraid that the thick calluses on his fingertips would scratch her, and finally used his sleeves to clumsily dry the tears on the woman's face bit by bit, "Look at you, why are you crying?" Am I scared? I know I shouldn’t come, but I really can’t worry. That brat Yu’er has come to Xiling. I’m worried that he’ll give you trouble—”
The Queen burst into tears even more violently. She couldn't bear to look away even though her vision was blurred. She choked up and said, "I'm sorry...all these years..."
Bai Kui paused and pretended to be relaxed, "Don't cry. I don't have a veil on me and my sleeves are not enough. Don't say you're sorry to me either."
He had a soft smile on his face, with a trace of redness hidden at the end of his eyes, "Lin'er, everything is of my own free will, and I am happy with it. You are suffering more than me, and I still have Yu'er by my side to comfort you, but by your side, No one."
"You really don't blame me?"
"It's not surprising. If I hadn't met you in this life, I probably wouldn't have married and had children. Although I can't stay with you forever, my heart is connected, which is enough for me."
"Then why are you so angry? Do I have thorns on my body and you want to stay so far away from me?"
Bai Kui, "..."
This must be explained, "I'm afraid of being rude to you. I've been an old man for more than 20 years. What if you dislike me-"
God knows, he is never willing to mention this matter. He is a round older than his Lin'er...
"Bai Kui!" Before the queen's tears dried, and before she could suppress her excitement, she was ignited by the man's words, "Say it again!"
"I was wrong!"
"I've been under pressure for so many years and refused to accept Nafu. You just miss me so much?"
"Lin'er, I swear, I feel the same way about you. Yu'er and I have been the only ones in the family for so many years!"
"Why, do you still want to get a wife?"
"No, I'm showing my feelings. Why are you misunderstanding me again? It's strange that Yu'er has been like a little ancestor since he was a child. His tricky temperament is exactly the same as yours! Come on, don't be angry. I'll tell you about your son's childhood. How difficult it is to take care of him, the white hairs on my head are all caused by his anger!"
Queen, "..."
She flicked the sleeves of her dragon robe and hit the man with a gesture, "First of all, how did you get in? How dare you break into the palace? There are so many masters ambushing in the palace, how can you risk your life by breaking in like this?"
"Didn't you give me a token when you left? I used the token to come in, and this time I really became a spy." Bai Kui took out a well-preserved and brand-new purple token from his arms. He shook his head and said, "Without this thing, I really wouldn't be able to get in. As soon as I climbed over the palace wall, I got a knife on my neck."
When the Queen heard this, her face turned pale.
The man was so distressed that he didn't bother to put on any pretense, and hugged her into his arms, "Don't be afraid, I'm standing in front of you right now. But I can't stay too long, lest I arouse suspicion, let's get down to business first. That smelly Yu'er The boy's wings are strong, and the Eight Kingdoms have just been thrown into troubled waters. Dongpu has suffered a disaster, and his next target is Xiling!"
"..."
"If I can't think of anything, I'll tell him the truth. Otherwise, if he really has the ability to turn Xiling upside down, a son who beats his own mother will not be punished by God?"
"..."
The night is getting darker.
A figure outside the palace was hidden by the shadow of the moon, looking around furtively for the entrance.
"They are both palaces, so why are there such big differences? You can enter the Longyuan Palace with just one search, and I can easily get in to the Dayue Palace... Damn it, I went to Xiling, but I couldn't even find a dog cave!"
Unwilling to give up, the old man dug around at the base of the wall but couldn't find the dog hole. He tried to get over the wall and was beaten out as soon as he reached the top of the wall.
If he hadn't run so fast, he would have been in the prison right now, or his body would have been lying under the wall.
The old man was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"Over there! Stop!" The pursuers yelled and cursed from the other side of the corner.
The old man flew up with his feet, hiding behind the arrows and yelling angrily, "Chasing your mother, chasing you! I was passing by! Since when has it become a capital offense to even pass by the outer wall of the palace! I tell you not to provoke grandpa! I'm angry Come directly to Ming!"
After finally getting rid of the pursuers behind him, the surrounding scenery had changed, and the old man was hiding in a dark corner, panting.
That's the bad thing about being older, you don't get tired.
"Hey, hey, where is this? I should have dragged Bai Xiaofeng along with me. At least there is someone who can tell the truth... What a mistake! What a mistake!" When the pursuers disappeared, the old man stood up against the wall and straightened his clothes. Prepare to strut out.
As soon as the man stood up, a shadow fell above his head. The old man was so frightened that he threw poisonous powder with his backhand.
"Fuck!" the visitor yelled angrily.
The voice was very familiar.
The old man pressed his back against the wall cautiously, adding another kind of poison. He watched the black shadow fall with his own eyes, and then he stretched out a foot and kicked the man.
After making sure that the other party had no ability to fight back, he stepped forward and pulled down the man's mask.
Their eyes met, they were really acquaintances.
Poison cannot invade, "...Why are you here?"
Bai Kui, "...can you detoxify me before I talk?"
"Say what you have to say first, and then get up after you finish speaking, otherwise I will run an errand and ask Bai Xiaozi to come and see with your own eyes that his father is a thief in the middle of the night! Your grandfather can't even enter the palace, how did you get in?" The old man shook his shoulders and laughed. Extremely insidious.
Bai Kui closed his eyes and thought he was dead.
Damn it.
Why did we hit it?
