Fengming Tianxia's Concubine Empress

Chapter 83

From a distance, Yan Cui saw two figures walking towards this side not far away, and when they approached, Yan Cui realized that the person being supported by Manager Li was her master Shangguan Wan Chun.

Yan Cui ran over quickly, smelling the alcohol smell from her body, and asked with concern: "Miss, are you alright?"

"It's okay, don't worry." Shangguan Wanchun said with a smile.

"My servant, thank you Director Li for sending the princess back. Manager Li, why don't you let the servant help the princess." Yan Cui saluted respectfully.

"That's good, the servant has returned here." Director Li said after thinking for a while.

Then Yan Cui took Shangguan Wanchun's arm, half embraced her in her arms, and walked forward with her support.

Last night I was drunk and fell into a sound sleep. Before the first step, I had no dreams until dawn.

When the first ray of sunlight shone into the room in the morning, Shangguan Wanchun was still sound asleep. Yan Cui looked at her sleeping soundly, shook her head helplessly, covered her with a quilt, and then whispered backed out.

It wasn't until the sun hung high, illuminating the dimly lit room, that Shangguan Wanchun turned over.

Maybe she felt the warmth of the sun, or maybe she was full of sleep, but she slowly opened her big bright eyes and flickered her eyelashes. After a few seconds of silence, she finally came to her senses.

She sat up suddenly, rubbed her eyes that were slightly sore, patted her forehead that still had some headaches, and then softly shouted to the door: "Yan Cui!"

She remembered that she left drunk last night, but she never thought that the seemingly mellow sweet-scented osmanthus wine had so much stamina that it made her drunk once out of ten, and she couldn't even remember how she got back to the room. I don't know if she made a fool of herself when she was drunk.You know, in her previous life, she had a good capacity for drinking, so there's nothing to say!
Yan Cui has been guarding the outer room and never left, so when she heard Shangguan Wanchun calling her, she rushed to the inner room in the next second.

"Miss, are you awake? How do you feel? Do you have a headache?" Yan Cui asked several questions with a concerned expression.

Shangguan Wanchun was a little dazed by the question and didn't know what to say for a while.She looked at the anxious and concerned expression on Yan Cui's face, as well as the faint worry hidden between her brows, and asked suspiciously: "Did something happen?"

"No, miss, could it be that you haven't sobered up yet? Are you still talking nonsense?" Yan Cui walked over while talking, and was about to reach out to touch her forehead.

Shangguan Wanchun dodged her hand subconsciously and frowned, did I say something I shouldn't have said last night?Shangguan Wanchun thought in her heart, and unconsciously asked: "Yan Cui, did something happen last night?"

In an instant, Yan Cui's expression became a little unnatural, hesitating, unable to speak a complete sentence.

Seeing Yan Cui's coercion confirmed what she was thinking even more, she then asked tentatively: "Did I say something?"

"No, no, Miss didn't say anything, just, just." Yan Cui's face turned red suddenly, she lowered her head, not daring to continue.

"What is it?"

"But it's okay to say." Seeing her, Shangguan Wanchun still refused to speak, but lowered her head even lower. She had a premonition that what happened last night would definitely not be a good thing!

Yan Cui raised her head and looked carefully at Shangguan Wanchun, "Miss, don't be angry if I tell you this, I promise that only I will know about it!" Yan Cui waved desperately as she spoke.

"Well, tell me." Shangguan Wanchun nodded calmly, but in fact she was a little nervous and faintly uneasy.

"That's right, shortly after you came back last night, miss, the servant closed the door and went out after helping you to sleep. It's just that the servant was worried that you would be thirsty in the middle of the night, so the servant stayed in the outer room and never slept. It's just that in the middle of the night, the servant really I couldn't hold it anymore, and Miss, you slept soundly, so the servant also went to bed. Who would have thought that the servant had just fallen asleep, and heard a movement from the inner room. The servant thought it was you, Miss, who woke up So, I put on my clothes and went into the house to have a look. Who knows, as soon as the servants entered the door, they saw a tall and tall man standing in your room, miss, and your hand, miss, was firmly holding the man's hand, She kept crying and shouting about big brother, traitor, revenge, etc., but the servant girl closed her eyes when she saw you, obviously she was talking in her sleep."

Yan Cui glanced at Shangguan Wanchun, saw that there was no abnormality in her face, and then said: "This servant thought it was my servant's eyesight, so I rubbed my eyes, but when I opened my eyes again, that person was still standing there, Moreover, he looked at the servant coldly, and the servant was afraid, so he subconsciously wanted to yell, but the man seemed to have seen through the servant's thoughts, so he tapped the small stone in his hand with lightning speed The servant's acupoints. Not only can the servant be unable to move, but he can't even speak, and the servant is even more frightened."

"and then?"

"Then the man flew out of the room without saying a word." Yan Cui said vividly, "I was impatient for a while, so I walked to the bed quickly, and saw that Miss, you are still sleeping soundly, and the bedding has not been turned over. Only then did I feel relieved and realized that I was able to move and speak, and the servant was worried that someone would break in again, so I didn't dare to leave for half a step, and the servant did not go out until dawn."

"Have you ever seen that person's appearance clearly?" Shangguan Wanchun continued to ask, she was also very puzzled, she wondered who in this palace would be so bold as to dare to break into Princess Chaohua's boudoir at night?

Yan Cui shook her head and said: "The light is too dark, and there is no light in the room, only the weak light in the outer room, so the servants have never seen the man's face clearly."

"Well, I see." Shangguan Wanchun fell into deep thought while speaking.If she guessed right, she should have dreamed about her previous life last night, and unfortunately, at that time, that man broke in and observed her closely, otherwise , she would never hold that man's arm.But did things really go as she had guessed?What kind of conspiracy did that man break into her room?But she thought of that person in her sleep. Coincidentally, the moment that person entered the room, she happened to be watching Shangguan Wanchun without saying a word, and her eyebrows were still tightly knit together. She couldn't help asking with concern: " Miss, are you all right?"

Shangguan Wanchun raised her head abruptly, before she could take back the coldness in her eyes, she looked at Yan Cui coldly.

Yan Cui shivered in fright, and stammered, "Little Miss."

Shangguan Wanchun quickly adjusted her mood, and said lightly: "Yan Cui, who else knows what happened last night?"

"Miss, only the maidservant knows what happened last night." Yan Cui thought for a while and said, "The maidservant promises not to let the second person know." Yan Cui knelt on the ground and raised her hands swearing Said under oath.

"Yan Cui, get up first, you misunderstood me." Shangguan Wanchun continued: "Who is that person, none of us know, and as for the purpose of that person, we are even less clear. Now in the palace, every step you take must be carefully considered, and you must be cautious, because you simply know what will happen in the next moment."

Seeing the seriousness and earnestness in Shangguan Wanchun's eyes, Yan Cui nodded involuntarily.

Shangguan Wanchun looked at Yan Cui and nodded ignorantly, sighed inwardly, and saw the sun hanging high outside the window when she turned her head, she couldn't help saying: "Okay, Yan Cui, go get a basin of water first, I'll get up now."

"Yes, miss, this servant is going right now." Saying that, Yan Cui quickly picked up the washbasin and rushed to the door.

Who could that be?Shangguan Wanchun thought with a puzzled expression.

post station.

Under the century-old poplar tree, stood a man in white. The cold wind blew his robe and messed up his hair, but he still stood motionless under the tree, his eyes looking in the direction of Chonghua Palace, as if Thoughtful.

Last night, after the banquet was over, everyone went back separately, but when he returned to the post station, he lay on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep because of tossing and turning. For some reason, he always felt a little restless in his heart and couldn't calm down.Ever since Shangguan Wanchun left the banquet, this feeling has been haunting him and never left, but tends to get worse.He could no longer lie on the bed peacefully, but got up, put on his clothes, and flew to the palace.

He drove the heavy guards with ease, and soon came to the gate of Chonghua Palace. Just when he was about to jump over the wall, he suddenly saw a black shadow jumping down from the courtyard wall not far in front. He remembered , that direction is the dormitory where Shangguan Wanchun lives, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, he didn't have time to think about it, and quickly chased after that black shadow.

Perhaps sensing someone chasing after him, the black figure couldn't help but quicken his pace.

And he was not to be outdone, and speeded up unconsciously.Neither of them dared to be sloppy, after all, this was in the palace, if they were discovered, it would be hard to escape.

Finally, after flying out of the palace, the man slowed down, stopped, and shouted at him with great interest: "Who are you? Why are you following me all the way? What's your purpose?" He originally thought that following him all the way It was the guards in the palace, so he couldn't be sloppy, and he didn't dare to do it lightly, so he had to speed up and leave, but he had already left the palace, and the people behind him were still chasing him, so he stopped to find out.

It seems that he should be the one who asked him, after all, he was the one who saw him jumping out of the Chonghua Palace, and it was at this moment that he noticed that he was wearing the same black clothes as the man in front of him. He could not help remembering that when he was going out, he was worried about Shangguan Wanchun, so he took a piece of clothing and put it on, but he never thought it was a black one. At this moment, although his face was wearing a mask, But the icy aura emanating from his body did not dare to be underestimated by that person.

The man didn't say much anymore, and flew towards him. Only at a close distance did he see clearly that the man looked ordinary, but the sharpness and fierceness in his eyes were incompatible with this ordinary face. There were still wrinkles, so he realized that this person, like him, also wore a mask on his face, and it was also a human skin mask.

In a duel between masters, within a few moves, the result can be seen.

The man realized that he was not his opponent, turned his head quickly, and said playfully: "I never thought that Princess Zhaohua would be so beautiful and charming. It's a pity that she is a drunk!"

The movement of his hand gave the man a chance to breathe, and while he was distracted, the man quickly shot the hidden weapon in his hand and fled quickly.

He didn't continue to chase, he thought about the man's words, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, so he quickly returned to the palace, quietly came to Chonghua Palace, and only left with peace of mind after seeing that everything was fine with Shangguan Wanchun .

At this moment, his eyes were cold, and he couldn't help frowning after hearing the footsteps behind him.

"My lord, this is a message from the emperor, please take a look at it." As he spoke, he handed it over.

"Yeah." He took it and nodded lightly.

"My lord, it's windy outside, why don't you go back to your room and have a rest." He said with concern.He knew that his master had been standing here since he came back from outside last night and never left.
