Jiao Luan

Chapter 308
At this time, it was already dark, and there was a sudden thunder, which made people startled.

Concubine Shu said: "It's probably going to rain, the third girl might as well stay here, I'll send someone to talk to the Crown Princess."

Cheng Wei thought about Cheng Ya's previous advice, and declined politely: "It's still raining outside, so I'd better go back, lest the Crown Princess bother me while she's pregnant."

Seeing her resolute attitude, Concubine Shu no longer forced her to stay. After all, it was the first time she met the third girl and stayed with her overnight. If something happened, she would not be able to tell.

"That's the case, then go back earlier, it's not good if it rains halfway."

Concubine Shu ordered her servant to send Cheng Wei, but Cheng Wei refused.

"My daughter is accompanied by Sister Ruodee, and the lights outside are bright, so I don't need to bother my father-in-law to see you off, lest my father-in-law will come back in the rain."

Concubine Shu thought that the third girl was sensible, so she ordered someone to take the umbrella and pass it to Ruodie, said a few words of concern, and served tea to see off the guests.

When Cheng Wei left, that confidant mother came over and asked, "Ma'am, Miss Cheng San really knows how to see a doctor?"

Concubine Shu touched the Buddhist beads and smiled: "I don't know if I can be cured for Bengong, but it's true to see. Before Bengong could tell, she saw Bengong's illness at a glance."

The confidante was surprised: "Miss Cheng San is so young, I really can't tell. Could it be the Crown Princess—"

Concubine Shu glanced at her: "The younger generation, who knows the difficulty of this Palace? Even if the Crown Princess finds out by chance, would she say such a thing to her younger sister who has not yet reached the age? Miss Cheng San said that she would serve seven times in a row. Only the concocted talisman water will be effective, let’s wait and see. Please invite Miss Cheng San to come over early tomorrow, so as not to be unsafe to go back at night."

"Yes." The confidant nanny replied, but she felt a little strange in her heart.

Since the empress was afraid that it would be unsafe for third miss Cheng to go back, why did the third miss Cheng refuse to be sent off by her servant just now, but the empress did not insist?

This nanny has been with Concubine Shu for many years, but she often feels that she can't see through this lady who everyone praises as peaceful and low-key, but she only dares to keep these thoughts deeply in her heart.

Cheng Wei left Zhaochun Palace, looked up at the sky.

The stars have faded, the moon has even hidden in the clouds, and the dark blue sky is getting thicker and thicker.

"Third girl, let's go quickly, it's raining on the way, you're going to catch a cold."

"En." Cheng Wei quickened his pace.

The sky in June is the face of a baby, and it changes as soon as it changes. Not long after the two of them walked out, they heard a thunderclap, and when they looked up again, the clouds rolled and drooped, as if stained with ink, which was daunting.

"Third Miss, let's go!" Ruodie reached out to hold Cheng Wei, and ran away.

Although Cheng Wei's health is not very good recently, after all, he has some martial arts foundation, he can run much faster than Ruodee, but it's a pity that no matter how fast he can't keep up with Yu Luo's speed.

Amidst the thunder, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, splitting the thick and colorful clouds, and the rain fell like bright lines.

The lanterns on the eaves of the promenade could not withstand the attack of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, flickered a few times, and went out one after another.

In the huge imperial palace, the most honored masters had already gone with the emperor to escape the summer heat, and those who remained, from the concubines to the little maids, were unintentionally lazy.

At this time, in such weather, even if the lanterns were extinguished, no one came out to inquire.

The dark clouds were as thick as ink, the rain poured down, and the lights seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep in an instant.

Cheng Wei and Ruodie held hands, they didn't even bother to hold up an umbrella, and ran to the nearest palace in a panic to hide from the rain.

The rain was too heavy, the rain blurred the eyes of the two, and at the same time blurred the perception of the two.

Ruodie slipped and fell in embarrassment, the lantern fell far away, causing Cheng Wei to stagger and almost fell down.

Cheng Wei hurriedly pulled Ruodei up, not daring to speak, and pulled her to cover her head and continued to run forward.

The two of them ran for an unknown amount of time, one foot deep and the other shallow, and they finally ran down the corridor, holding on to the pillars and gasping for breath.

After a while, Ruodie came to her senses, looked at the drenched Cheng Wei, and turned pale with shock: "Third Miss!"

She rushed over and took out the handkerchief, only to find that the handkerchief was already wet with muddy water on it, and her hands were involuntarily frozen in the air.

Cheng Wei wiped the rainwater off his face with his hand, and said in relief: "It's okay, it's already soaked anyway, it doesn't matter whether you wipe it off or not. Sister Ruodie, can you see where this is?"

Ruodie tried hard to identify it, then shook her head hesitantly: "It's too dark, I can't see anything clearly."

Her heart pounded.

The palace is so big, but the wind and rain are blowing outside the corridor, it seems that the two of them are left in the world, which is really frightening.In case the third girl had something wrong, how would she explain to the princess?

"Sister Ruodie, it seems darker here than other places." Cheng Wei tried to calm down, and said after observing.

Hearing what Cheng Wei said, Ruodie looked around and her face gradually turned pale: "It seems so!"

In such a situation, Cheng Wei is not clear, but Ruodie has a vague guess.

It is more depressed and quiet than other places, which means that this place is often a place where few people come.

Thinking of this, Ruodie wiped the porch pillar and twisted it with her fingers, and could feel a layer of dust gradually turning into muddy water on her wet fingertips.

This shows that no one has cleaned it for a long time.

Did they come to the cold palace unintentionally?
Ruodie shook her head.

No, it started to rain not long after they came out of Zhaochun Palace, even if they were in a panic, it was impossible for them to break into the Leng Palace.

The Lenggong, where criminal concubines were detained, was far away from Zhaochun Palace.

Cheng Wei didn't know Ruodie's overwhelmed thoughts, but he was much more calm, looking at the rain curtain that stretched into a line, and sighed: "If I knew this earlier, I might as well come out later."

Ruodie restrained her thoughts and asked Cheng Wei: "Miss San, are you cold?"

Cheng Wei shook his head: "It's not cold."

Of course, the weather in late June is not that cold, but on this stormy night, people with thin clothes and drenched body said it was not cold, of course they comforted themselves.

Ruodie felt thin goose bumps on her arms, and the wind and rain slanted, and her whole body trembled.

Seeing that Cheng Wei, who was younger than her, said she was not cold, she gradually calmed down.

Even the third girl is not afraid, why should she be flustered as a slave?In any case, the third girl should be safely escorted back to the East Palace.

The two fell silent, listening to the endless thunder and rain, the corridor seemed to be a world of its own.

It will be better if the rain stops soon, I don't know how the big sister should worry.

Cheng Wei leaned on the pillar of the porch and was lost in thought, when suddenly he heard a slight cry.

Startled, she slowly turned her head to look at Ruodie, lowered her voice and asked, "Sister Ruodie, did you hear anything?"

"Sound? What's the sound?" His eyes had gradually adapted to the darkness, and Ruodie could barely see Cheng Wei's expression, with a dignified expression.

Ruodie's voice trembled: "Miss San, what did you hear?"

"Maybe I heard it wrong." Cheng Wei said vaguely, not wanting to scare Ruodee.

As soon as the words fell, the crying sound suddenly became clear, like a sharp blade ignoring the obstruction of the rain curtain, directly piercing the hearts of the two!
