Chapter 21 Yun Chenggui Couldn’t Refute!
"It seems that I can't go back to Xixingxuan tonight." About that time, Yun Fenghuang was hiding in a forest, twirling his long hair and the pool water in his clothes, sighing, "I originally wanted to go back to Huzhu Palace. Go to Ningbi Palace to say hello, and stab Concubine Yue’s heart with one, two, three, four, five, six, seven or eight..."
To be honest, her original plan was to sneak ashore after diving for a while and then find a way to solve the problem. Unfortunately, the time in the palace was too short and I was not familiar with the environment.
Because the reeds beside the Shalu Pavilion were not yet lush at this season, Yun Fenghuang was worried that he would be caught if he surfaced too early, so he broke a piece of reed pipe underwater for ventilation. He couldn't bear it anymore after diving in one breath. Only then did I sneak out of the water, take a quick look, and find the direction of a lush vegetation. I landed successfully with caution and perseverance!
As a result, before I could even breathe a sigh of relief after landing, I discovered that this place seemed to be...an island?
The hard-working Yun Fenghuang: "..."
I remember the assault on the imperial city before entering the palace. It was said that the imperial city of the country used the Taiyue Pool as the boundary to divide the former harem...
In other words, she is no longer in the harem now...
As for where we are currently... In the gourd-shaped Taiye Pond, there are five islands named after the fairy mountains recorded in ancient books. From east to west, they are Xiaodaiyu, Xiaoyuanqiao, Xiaofanghu, and Xiaoyingzhou. , Xiao Penglai.
Because we had specifically chosen a place to go ashore where we could easily hide our tracks, we couldn't even see the surface of the pool, so we couldn't guess which island we were on.
But no matter which one it is, Yun Fenghuang, who is about to lose his strength, cannot return to the harem on his own and support himself as he did when he came here.
"It's impossible to swim back. If you steal a boat, you don't know where to steal it, and you don't know how to row, so you can only ask the palace people on the island to help you get a ride." Yun Feng Huang hastily tidied up his appearance. Using the last ray of light in the sky to identify the surrounding environment, he walked towards the nearest eaves among the lush branches and leaves.
The five small islands in the Taiye Pool have been very lucky in all dynasties, but in the past few decades, Emperor Shenzong has been busy competing with his brothers for the first half of his life, and the second half of his life has been busy governing the world; his legitimate son, Emperor Xiaozong, has lived a long life. Before his early death, he was fighting with his maternal family; as for Emperor Chunjia, he is still working as a puppet, and no one has time to go boating on the pond and appreciate the fruits of the people's support.
Originally one of the most popular places in the imperial city, it has become so desolate and sparse that it has almost faded away from the memory of the former harem.
Therefore, Yun Fenghuang didn't know much about these five islands, so he wanted to find someone first.
The road on the island was very winding, probably because of the scenery. The eaves looked close, but walking was quite dangerous. Originally, it was already evening when she landed ashore, but when she finally saw the gate of the small courtyard, it was already dusk. First arrival.
It was also a coincidence that when Yun Fenghuang was about to go over and knock on the door, the door opened first, and two maids in blue came out holding baskets.
As the leading lady crossed the threshold, she turned her head and whispered to her companions: "Go and change the agarwood incense later. Your Majesty can't smell that smell now."
The companion nodded and said crisply: "I understand. By the way, is there anything else we should pay attention to? I heard that the prince has been in a bad mood recently, so we should be careful."
"You're going to die, you talk so much!" the palace maid who spoke before warned her as if to pinch her, "No one else will hear this. If my aunt knows about it, I will make it easier for you to remember!"
"There are no people here in Chunsheng Xiaozhu, so what are you afraid of..."
The two of them walked away talking and laughing. Yun Fenghuangfang came out from behind a clump of flowers and trees, his expression a bit ugly.
She originally thought that although the Taiye Pool was outside the scope of the harem, it was still forbidden and no outsiders would appear. Who knew there was a heir apparent here?
Although the power of eunuchs has grown in recent years, as far as Yun Fenghuang knows, no eunuch has yet been named the crown prince.
Therefore, the prince appearing on the island now, no matter whose family he is, must be a man with a full beard and tail, and he belongs to the category that needs to be avoided.
Then it would be hard for her to show up in public.
After all, Emperor Chunjia's faction already desperately wanted her to die. If they knew that she lived on the same island with a prince, even if they knew that there was no connection between the two and they had never even met, they would definitely accuse her. If his reputation is dirty, if he is thrown into the cold palace, it will be regarded as the emperor's mercy, or he will be killed suddenly.
But how could she return to the harem without alarming the people on the island?
Yun Fenghuang thought about it and finally gritted his teeth and decided to find a place to eat and drink before taking a rest. After he regained some strength... he swam back!
There is no other way. Although this method is very life-threatening, it still has hope.
But if he met a prince on the island late at night, he would be ready to hand the knife to people like Emperor Chunjia Yue.
It was the lesser of two evils, so I had to take a gamble.
Having made up his mind, Yun Fenghuang didn't waste any time and took advantage of the darkness to hide his figure. He quickly stole a box of snacks hidden by the palace servant in a nearby pavilion to make up for his hunger, and finally found a place to rest.
Although under the current circumstances, it would be safer to find a secluded corner to hang out for a while, Yun Fenghuang would have to go into the water later. Although this season is no longer the twelfth lunar month of winter, it is still chilly at night, and the water is even colder. If we don't take advantage of the rest to warm up, won't we regret it if we have an accident later?
Therefore, Yun Fenghuang thought about it and sneaked back to the small courtyard where he met the two palace ladies, Chunsheng Xiaozhu.
After all, she was not familiar with this island at all. She couldn't tell which places were occupied and which places were not. She also had to rush back to the harem before dawn. She really couldn't afford to waste time and choose slowly. Chunsheng Xiaozhu looked quiet. , The palace maid also said that there is no one in this place, so I think it is the best choice at present.
Although Chunsheng Xiaozhu didn't look like someone lived in it, and he knew that the two palace ladies were busy talking at the time and didn't notice him at all, so it was unlikely that he deliberately said those words to deceive others, but Yun Fenghuang was cautious in doing things and still specialized in Go around in a circle and climb over the wall to enter.
After checking one by one that there was no one here, I carefully observed the dust net, and found that the main hall, side rooms and other places were all cleaned and spotless, and there were even signs of having been tidied up just now.
On the other hand, in the back hall of the dormitory, not only the doors and windows were closed, but I only opened some paper on the back window, and I could smell the smell of being unoccupied for a long time. I managed to open the window and took a look inside using the wind lamp from the corridor. There was a thin layer of dust, and it had probably been neglected for at least a few months.
It is easy to deduce this situation. It is an island where nobles who are not allowed to visit often, and the people who serve them are slacking off after all. The two maids just now were probably the ones in charge. They opened the courtyard door and opened the place where it was clear at a glance. They were more careful. The back hall was probably unoccupied and there was no one to check it carefully, so they simply stayed away.
Yun Fenghuang was very satisfied with this. Although she was usually very clean, she was never pretentious in emergency situations. At this moment, she climbed in through the back window, patted the quilt on the bed a little, took off her clothes and put them up not far away. He put the huanghuali and peonies on the clothes hanger to dry, and got into bed naked... After all the hard work, he was already exhausted, and as soon as his mind relaxed, he quickly fell asleep.
Originally, even if this place was safe, Yun Fenghuang had something on her mind, so she didn't dare to sleep too hard, but she didn't know if it was because she was too tired, or for some reason. In short, her sleep was very sweet, and she didn't know how long it took before she suddenly woke up. , before I opened my eyes, I felt a bright light in front of my eyes.
This time, she was so frightened that she sat up!
My God, it's difficult, it's difficult, it's difficult. Did I sleep until dawn? ? ?
Then I saw two gossamer palace lanterns with cantaloupe-style carvings of beauties in spring not far away. Under the lantern was a copper and silver-wire incense burner, slowly rising a wisp of green smoke straight to the beam.
Yun Fenghuang calmed down for a while, then slowly, slowly, slowly turned around, and saw a young man in plain robes lying next to him. He looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, handsome and simple, probably because of the lighting. Because of this, the skin color is almost translucent, and the lip color becomes brighter, like drops of blood.
This man's long crow-green hair spread all over the pillow, his arms were folded behind his head, his eyes were closed, his long eyelashes like butterfly wings moved slightly with his breathing, and his brows looked peaceful.
Perhaps sensing Yun Fenghuang's gaze, he slowly opened his eyes and looked back calmly.
Yun Fenghuang subconsciously pulled the corners of the quilt and wrapped himself tightly.
There was no fluctuation in the young man's eyes, he closed his eyes again, and his breathing became even again.
"..." Although Yun Fenghuang prided himself on being smart, he was a little confused when he saw that the other party was completely unguarded against him. Is there something wrong with this person's brain?
She thought so, looking at the young man without moving away, but quietly reached under the mattress with one hand and pulled out a silver hairpin with a specially sharpened tail.
After all, he was living outside. Even though he thought Chunsheng Xiaozhu was relatively safe before, Yun Fenghuang still habitually kept something at hand for himself.
At this moment, he clenched the hairpin tightly and suddenly stabbed it into the young man's heart!
only!
When the tip of the hairpin barely touched the young man's robe, her wrist was firmly held, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not make any further progress.
Yun Fenghuang's heart sank, and the young man opened his eyes again and asked quietly: "Why did you attack him so suddenly?"
"Third watch in the middle of the night, your Majesty would do such a beastly thing..." Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows, "Do you still want to question me?"
The young man sneered: "What a beast? Chunsheng Xiaozhu is where I live. You come in without asking, break my window lattice, occupy my bed, and dirty my clothes hanger. I have always been kind to others. Not only do I not care about you, I even acquiesce in your presence." I am resting here, but as the master, I lie on my side and give up most of the space... You don't want to repay the favor, but you still slander me as a beast..."
He showed disdain, "There are such shameless people in the world. I have learned a lot today!"
Yun Fenghuang was dumbfounded, and after a long while he said: "Even though I don't care whether I am right or wrong, men and women cannot be intimate with each other, especially my body..."
In order to let the clothes dry quickly, she also didn't want moisture to enter her body, but she took off her clothes before lying down!
This person just lay beside her without saying a word. Even if he didn't feel anything abnormal in his body, he really didn't have the right to complain when the hairpin just fell off, okay?
"You mean that after I discovered you just now, I should have called someone over immediately?" The young man squinted at her, "Then the emperor in Kyoto will know that you and I are filthy in the palace? Maybe you are so elegant, but I won't accompany you!"
Yun Fenghuang: "..."
The young man continued: "Or do you think I should give up my bedroom to you, an uninvited guest, and find a corner to wait for dawn at night? The problem is that we are not relatives, so why should I be so harsh on myself for you? "
Yun Fenghuang: "..."
She tried to struggle, "But your Majesty can wake me up, and then..."
Then I promise to get out of here right away, get out of here! ! !
"Then you took advantage of the situation and relied on me?" The young man interrupted her expressionlessly, "Or do you think that someone like you, who lies on a strange man's bed with unknown origins, deserves to be treated like a serious lady? Shouldn't you be treated with suspicion?"
"..." Yun Fenghuang, who prides himself on being articulate, has never been so frustrated. He was speechless and speechless. After a long time, he asked tremblingly, "Since you are suspicious of me, what do you want to do?"
You said you disliked me so much, but your body actually lied down honestly? ? ?
