In the cold palace at night, strange cries floated away, and a small voice stumbled along the path.

"Mo Mo?" Mu Yinyin picked up a round stone from somewhere and hugged it to her chest. Her little eyes, which were usually full of energy and smiles, were now full of nervousness. "Mo Mo... are you there?"

Yeah, if you're here, just say something."

She followed the ethereal cry all the way to the innermost part of the cold palace.

It looks much nicer inside than it looks outside, and the house is not that dilapidated, but it is still desolate and unpopular.

In addition, she was alone this time, and she felt even more unsure.

"Ooooooo, Momo, where have you been?" Mu Yinyin hugged the big stone and was so anxious that she almost cried.

Inadvertently, the bracelet on her wrist hit the stone, making a crisp sound, and then she remembered that she had a helper.

Mu Yinyin quickly squatted down and put down the stone, then held the bracelet and whispered softly, "Fengfeng, how about you help me and help me find Mo Mo?"

In the past, every time she encountered danger or had something she couldn't solve, Fengfeng would help her.

However, this time, no matter how much she shouted at the bracelet, it didn't respond at all.

Mu Yinyin sniffed aggrievedly and stood up in resignation, "Forget it, as the saying goes, if you can't rely on a mountain to support you, you still have to rely on yourself."

Unknowingly, she walked to a courtyard in search of the crying sound.

The yard was empty, with nothing except a stone table.

Mu Yinyin glanced at the room where the crying was obviously coming from, shivered, and mustered up the courage to speak, "Mo Mo?"

The crying seemed to be disturbed and stopped.

Mu Yinyin didn't know what was going on inside, so she was so nervous that she subconsciously stopped breathing following the crying. Her eyes were wide and round, staring tightly in the direction of the room.

I was afraid that if I blinked, a ghost would suddenly burst out of me.

"ink……"

"Who is it?"

Mu Yinyin looked back and saw a white figure standing not far behind her, swaying as if it was about to float over at any time.

"Ouch! Ghost!" Mu Yinyin screamed with her eyes closed, picked up the stone in her hand and threw it at the opponent, "Ghost, don't come over, wuwuwu, I'm very powerful, if you come over I will hit you

of."

The stone fell to the ground, and at the same time there was a muffled groan.

Mu Yinyin hid behind the stone table, her little eyes closed tight, "I, we have no enmity, I am here to find my cat Mo Mo, please go quickly and don't pester me."

"Mo Mo?" The person who made a muffled sound asked in confusion, "You are, Mu Yinyin."

Upon hearing her name, Mu Yinyin was stunned for a moment, and then her face fell.

Woohoo, the "ghost" even knows her name, she will definitely die tonight.

Just when she had imagined a hundred tragic endings for herself in her little head, another voice floated out from behind her.

"Chen'er, who is outside?"

Mu Yinyin, "..." Huh? Chu'er? Who is that?

"Reporting to my concubine, she is just a book slave who has gone astray." The voice that spoke to Mu Yinyin at the beginning replied in a low voice, "I will send him out now so as not to disturb my concubine's purity."

Book slave?!

Mu Yinyin opened her eyes in surprise. The white figure had already walked to the stone table. Now she finally saw the other person's appearance clearly.

With his pale face and handsome features, isn't it his fifth brother Mu Shiqi who only wants to study?

"Five..." Mu Yinyin said in surprise, but before she could finish her words, the other party made a silencing gesture towards her.

Mu Yinyin blinked blankly, a little confused, but she still obeyed and kept her mouth shut, and only looked at Mu Shiqi curiously.

"Shu Nu?" The person in the room spoke again, mixed with coughs, "But is it because you skipped classes and left early during the day?"

"Back to my mother and concubine, no." Mu Shiqi lowered his eyes, "In the afternoon, I already followed what my mother and concubine said, and went to apologize to the husband after being forced to stand."

The people in the room were silent for a moment, and then replied quietly, "Send the person out over there, but he is a book slave, and the baby needs to be polite to others and not rude."

Mu Shiqi breathed a sigh of relief, "My son, I accept the order."

He straightened up somewhat slowly, gestured to Mu Yinyin to follow him, then turned and walked out of the yard.

Mu Yinyin looked back at the room where the sound had just come from, and then followed Mu Shiqi's footsteps.

"Fifth brother... can Yinyin talk now?" As soon as she left the yard, Mu Yinyin couldn't wait to speak, "Fifth brother, why are you here?"

She habitually held Mu Shiqi's hand.

When she was with Mu Jingyan and others before, she was always being led, and over time this became her habit.

"Go to the end of this road and turn right to leave." Mu Shiqi avoided her hand without leaving a trace, and said in a low voice, "You should encounter patrolling guards when you go out. Find someone to send you off.

Go back to Mingxue Pavilion."

"Don't come here to play at night anymore, it's dangerous."

Mu Yinyin was stunned for a moment, then she came to her senses and quickly explained, "Fifth brother, you misunderstood, Yinyin is not here to play, Yinyin is here to see Mo Mo."

"Momo is missing!"

"By the way, has Fifth Brother seen Mo Mo?"

Mu Shiqi's turning movement paused, and he shook his head stiffly, "I haven't seen him before. Go back quickly."

"I came from the other side, Lin Lin is still waiting for me there, fifth brother, can you see me off?" Mu Yinyin finally met an acquaintance, but she was still willing to walk alone, so she ran away.

He went over and grabbed Mu Shiqi's hand when he wasn't paying attention.

"Eh..."

"Fifth brother, your hands are so hot!"

Mu Yinyin looked at Mu Shiqi in surprise, and then noticed that Mu Shiqi's white clothes were wet.

She tentatively touched the corner of her clothes, and the cold chill made her shiver.

"Oops! Fifth brother, why are you walking outside in wet clothes at night? You're going to get sick."

Mu Yinyin quickly took out her small handkerchief and stuffed it into Mu Shiqi's hand, "Here's this handkerchief for you. Fifth brother, please wipe it first, and then go back to the room and change into clean clothes."

Mu Shiqi looked at the brocade handkerchief that was thrust into his hand. He was momentarily distracted and said unconsciously, "What about you?"

He still remembered the way Mu Yinyin cowered behind the stone table in fear just now.

"Me?" Mu Yinyin shrugged pretending to be relaxed, "Fifth brother, don't worry about me. Since I can walk here by myself, I can also walk back by myself."

"Fifth brother, please take care of yourself. It's best to have someone make some ginger soup for you."
