Chapter 425 Carnival
Being in an unfamiliar environment, both of them felt uneasy, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they turned on the lamp early and lay down on the bed.

The imperial palace of the Holy Kingdom is not like Xuanyuan Kingdom. The layout and furnishings are more exotic designs. It is simple and spacious, but it also looks too cold and stiff, especially in the middle of the night when the entire palace is quiet and silent.

Feng Yunqing and Xuanyuan Yelan were lying on the bed, neither of them fell asleep, only the hourglass placed in the room made the sound of quicksand.

In the middle of the night, Feng Yunqing managed to feel drowsy. Xuanyuan Yelan hugged her and patted her on the back, and said softly: "Go to sleep."

Feng Yunqing took advantage of the trend and leaned into Xuanyuan Yelan's arms. Just as she closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep, the outside suddenly lit up, and the bright lights illuminated the entire palace like daytime.

Feng Yunqing was startled, and sat up abruptly: "What's going on?"

There was a sound of messy footsteps, a group of people ran past the window, and some were even laughing and joking. It seemed that something very happy had happened.

The voices outside were too mixed and chaotic, Feng Yun could not hear what those people were saying, but no matter what happened, this phenomenon was still too weird.

Xuanyuan Yelan put on his clothes and said, "I'll go out and have a look."

"I'll go with you." Feng Yunqing was worried about letting Xuanyuan Yelan monopolize the action in such a completely unknown environment, and it was better for the two of them to have a support than to fight alone.

Xuanyuan Yelan knew what she was thinking, and didn't say anything to dissuade them, the two of them tidied up and left the door.

When they got outside, they found that the candles in the entire palace seemed to be lit, and there were palace people walking around everywhere, and everyone was in a hurry, as if rushing to participate in some event.

Feng Yunqing saw a little maid who was leading the way during the day among a group of people on the way. She stretched out her hand and asked, "It's so late, where are you going?"

The little maid's face was full of impatience, she broke away from Feng Yunqing's hand, and hurriedly said: "It's time, it's almost time."

Feng Yunqing watched the little palace maid running outside in a daze, and the doubts in her heart became even more serious.

Xuanyuan Yelan looked at the hurried palace people, and said, "They are all heading in one direction, should we follow them to see?"

In such a late night, everyone had the same look of anxiety on their faces, rules and decency were all left behind, and the palace, which originally symbolized power and dignity, became noisy and lively.

And these lively and lively palace people were still controlled by the holy religion like walking dead during the day, like puppets with real flesh and blood, but now these people seem to have returned to normal, talking and laughing towards the same place. place.

It's all too weird and doesn't make any sense.

Feng Yunqing didn't hesitate too much, nodded immediately, and pulled Xuanyuan Yelan to follow the palace people: "Let's see what's going on first."

The two were mixed in the rushing crowd, and none of the busy palace people expressed surprise or doubt at their appearance, as if they were the same as everyone else.

Feng Yunqing and Xuanyuan Yelan followed the palace people to an open space deep in the palace, almost all the palace people gathered here, a bonfire was lit in the middle of the space, and everyone sat around, singing unknown songs in twos and threes , the tone is relaxed and lively, which makes the atmosphere more lively.

Xuanyuan Yelan and Feng Yunqing hid in the dark and observed for a while, but they didn't find anything unusual. If this inappropriate time was ignored, it seemed that this was just a party where everyone gathered to have fun.

Feng Yun tilted his ears to listen to those fragmentary ballads, and said in confusion: "They seem to be singing ancient words unique to the Holy Kingdom, 'moon', 'Idol', 'fire seed'... I can't hear anything else."

The two looked at each other, and felt that this was not the way to go, so they walked out without hiding their figures.

Seeing their arrival, the palace servants who were beating the small drums with their arms had joyful smiles on their faces, looking very sincere and not fake.

The man put on the snare drum, warmly greeted him, took Xuanyuan Yelan's hand, and said, "What are you doing just standing there, come dance with us."

The two did not resist, and were dragged by the man to the bonfire, and then more than a dozen people ran out of the crowd in twos and threes, holding hands and happily dancing the bonfire together.

Everyone was laughing, with bright smiles, and the flames of the bonfire reflected in their eyes, which seemed to light up everyone's soul.

The one who pulled Feng Yunqing to dance was the little maid from before. She turned her head to look at the silent Feng Yunqing, and asked puzzledly, "Are you unhappy?"

Feng Yunqing glanced at the people around who were laughing and laughing, and smiled with the corners of her mouth, pretending to be very happy.

The little maid's voice was crisp and clear, humming ancient songs, like a cheerful lark, completely unable to see the appearance of being muddled in the daytime.

Just as they were singing and dancing, Nangongli in black suddenly ran in from outside in a hurry. He pushed away the surrounding palace people and looked at Feng Yunqing and Xuanyuan Yelan up and down. , as if afraid that they would lack arms and short legs.

Nangongli looked nervous and said, "Follow me!"

Feng Yunqing frowned: "What's wrong?"

Nangongli glanced at the people around who were still talking and laughing, with fear in his eyes, he urged: "Don't ask so many questions, come with me!"

Seeing his flustered expression, Feng Yunqing felt strange in her heart, but followed him and left this lively place.

Everyone in the palace was gathering around the bonfire, so they didn't meet anyone else along the way. Nangongli led the way without saying a word, his tight back was like a fully drawn bowstring, ready to break at any moment generally.

Nangongli led them directly out of the palace. The atmosphere outside the palace was still lifeless. Feng Yunqing looked back at the brightly lit palace, thinking of those palace people who gathered together to play and joke, a layer of horror welled up in his heart feeling.

On the way out, Feng Yunqing asked Nangongli several times what happened in the Holy Kingdom, but Nangongli remained silent and refused to say a word.

There was a carriage parked outside the palace gate, which seemed to have been prepared long ago.

Nangongli turned around, gasped and said, "Leave now and don't come back."

Xuanyuan Yelan frowned, his face darkened: "Now you should tell us what's going on, right?"

Nangong Li showed pain on his face, he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't ask, hurry up, or it will be too late."
