Ghost doctor: Princess please come to the throne

Chapter 404 Forbidden Courtyard!

Chapter 404: Forbidden Courtyard!

Ling Xiyue frowned, searching her memory.

Occasionally, she walked slowly along the wooden bridge.

When she came to the inner courtyard to have a look, she felt that she had really seen this place before!
Although the courtyard is not big, it is not as big as the magnificent palace outside, but it is not too small, and there is no guard around it.

Even, there is not even a servant who guards the door. Isn't this a bit abnormal?
"Where did I see it..." Ling Xiyue turned her head and murmured.

She scanned the surroundings, and her eyes finally fell on the bamboo house directly opposite.

After observing around and making sure that there was no movement, Ling Xiyue stepped over gently to avoid making a big noise. She didn't open the door, but carefully opened the window with a small opening, and stared in.

Light gauze wooden bed, bamboo chairs and tables, the arrangement couldn't be simpler.

There is a painting hanging directly opposite the gate, which is more eye-catching, like a portrait of a woman.

"Could it be that this place is a woman's residence?"

But with such a delicate layout, it should be so.

Ling Xiyue looked sideways from the open corner of the window, but as soon as her eyes caught a corner of the yellow dress, there was a sudden noise outside the courtyard, "The assassin hasn't been caught yet, will he hide here?" ?”

Beside the courtyard gate, the sound of guards' footsteps and dignified conversation sounded.

"I don't know who has the guts of a bear and a leopard, and dares to break into the king's city!"

"That's right, but he still has the ability to slip away under the eyes of the Great Venerable. It's been a long time and he hasn't been caught yet."

Ling Xiyue opened her clear eyes, her life was important, she didn't have time to look closely, she let go of her hand against the window, turned around, climbed up the wall on her toes, and merged into the boundless night.

Next to it, the ancient maple leaves sway, making people feel a little breeze blowing by.

At the courtyard gate, the footsteps stopped there.

At this time, another voice sounded, "So what if you hide here, do you dare to go in and search casually?"

"I...don't dare." The guard's voice was rough, "If the king finds out about this, even if I have nine lives, it's not enough to lose."

"That's right, this is Alcatraz Island in the royal city, trespassing will kill you!"

"Let's go, stay away from here."

……

In the silent night, the voice of guarding the door gradually faded away.

Ling Xiyue passed through the heavy defenses, and soon returned to her residence, Xiaoxi Pavilion.

She opened the window and flashed into the room. Before anyone could stand still, there was a knock on the door.

"Girl, girl, are you there..." It was the maidservant of Xiaoxi Pavilion, and there seemed to be a little temptation in her unhurried call.

She leaned close to the door and listened carefully. After waiting for a long time for a response, she raised her hand to knock on the door, "Gu—"

Before finishing a word, the door of the palace creaked and was pulled open from the inside.

"What are you doing, you are making a lot of noise in the middle of the night." The girl's hair was disheveled and scattered on her shoulders, her sleepy eyes were dim, and she was covered with a loose shawl, which tightly enveloped her petite body.

However, one could imagine from this appearance that there should be unchanging pajamas inside.

The girl's voice was a little nasal, and she was obviously a little angry.

The palace maid hurriedly withdrew her hand knocking on the door, blessed her body, "I'm really sorry for the disturbance in the middle of the night, but there was an urgent order from above that some thieves had sneaked into the royal city, so the servant came to have a look, the girl is the honored guest of Young Master Nalan , if you don’t take good care of it, there will be a problem, and it’s not easy for servants to do business.”

Outside the door, a small group of patrolling guards stood upright.

Although the palace maid's words were tactful, the eyes of the small group of guards fully explained everything.

After all, Ling Xiyue is new to Wangcheng, so it can be said that she is the biggest suspect.

The first one to check was her!
"I'm fine." Ling Xiyue rubbed her sleepy eyes.

As she spoke, she covered her mouth lightly and began to yawn, with misty mist appearing in her eyes, "After reading this, can I rest, or is it the way your Huangfu family treats guests by disturbing people's dreams in the middle of the night?" road?"

That tone was clearly displeased.

In the middle of the night, this group of guards were all men, so it was really inappropriate to come to the woman's residence without saying hello.

Hearing this tone, the maidservant secretly thought that the girl might not be someone to provoke, so she hurriedly bowed back, "Okay, as long as the girl is fine, the servant girl will back down. The servants must be summoned immediately."

Little did she know, the thief she was talking about stood in front of her carelessly.

"Got it, got it." The thief waved impatiently.

What this thief did was not guilty at all!
Several guards exchanged glances.

Hearing that tone, they knew it wasn't a soft persimmon, and because of Nalan Xueyi, they really didn't dare to continue to offend, if they disturbed the distinguished guests, they wouldn't be able to bear the crime, and after thinking about it, they didn't dare to do more check.

After saying "excuse me," he respectfully withdrew.

"bump!"

Ling Xiyue closed the door.

How can there be any trace of sleepiness on that silent face?
If he came back a little later, he would be discovered. The protection of this royal city is really good.

When she goes back, she should also upgrade the defense of the Nine Layers Palace by one level, at least according to this standard.

While arranging her messy hair, Ling Xiyue planned it in her head.

She reached to the hem of her skirt, and was about to tear off the shawl, when another voice came from the door, "Xiyue."

Light as snow, quiet and quiet... Nalan Xueyi's voice.

Ling Xiyue's eyes flickered, she put down her hand, and turned to open the door.

"coming."

She reached for the door.

The moonlight slanted down from the edge of the hall, reflecting on the man in the plain snow clothes.

The light silver plating, like the light of fine and dense diamonds, dotted on his peerless face, like a layer of frost.

Ling Xiyue scratched the back of her head and smiled, "It's so late and you haven't rested yet? What's the matter?"

Nalan Xueyi glanced up and down, "Did you sleep?"

The scrutinizing eyes were calm and without waves.

If it were any man next to him, watching her in front of the woman's room in the middle of the night, he would definitely look like a prodigal son, but Nalan Xueyi's expression was cold, I don't know, I thought he was looking at a piece of wood...

The indifferent and traceless eyes really make it difficult for people to have ripple thoughts.

"Well, um..." Ling Xiyue twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled dryly.

In front of smart people, she is not interested in acting.

Just make a vague sound like this, let him understand.

Nalan Xueyi looked at her for a few seconds, "Can I go in?"

Ling Xiyue raised her eyebrows.

"Of course." She smiled.

They are all smart people. After hearing Nalan Xueyi's words, Ling Xiyue didn't have to think about it in a wrong way. She already knew what the other party wanted to say, and it was really inconvenient to say the next thing outside.

With a "touch", the door closed.

Nalan Xueyi turned around and stared at her without blinking, her black pupils were deep.

Ling Xiyue twitched the corners of her mouth, reached out her hand to the skirt, pulled the strap, and the shawl slipped off.
