Jiu Ge’s Beloved Spirit

Ze Guang and Ze Qing, who were waiting on the side, quickly followed.

Eunuch Zheng watched her off until her figure disappeared into the dark night, and then he was completely relieved of the burden on his heart.

Stand with your shoulders slightly relaxed.

"Ah...it's really..."

He suppressed everything he wanted to say and sighed.

Shake his head.

"well……"

Everything I wanted to say was hidden in that sigh.

Nothing can be done.

It was simply impossible to live in peace.

At this time, the night is still long.

The night is long and the palace is lonely.

After Yun Si left, Eunuch Zheng stood in front of the palace, waiting quietly without saying a word.

On the side, the apprentice he personally led looked at him secretly.

The young man looked at the solemn expression on his master's face and looked at the direction Yun Si was leaving.

Silent.

Silently, he kept his master's anomaly in mind.

He lowered his head and seemed to be thinking.

Mr. Yun...

…

…

…

late at night.

The moon and stars are sparse, and everything is silent.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, when everyone fell asleep.

The usually brightly lit political palace was now dark and the palace doors were closed.

In the inner palace of the East Palace, the courtyard is empty, and the garden is lonely and peaceful, with no one around.

Only the night guards were still standing guard at the entrances of each level, standing silently and erect, like a dead body made of steel, motionless, the weapons in their hands sparkling with cold light.

The mobile night patrol patrolled around the East Palace as usual.

The footsteps were steady and powerful, with a consistent rhythm.

Repeatedly, tightly guarded.

In the corridor, the lanterns were on, illuminating the surrounding scene in the thick night.

Fireflies are flying in the air, moving freely through it.

He was supposed to be the protagonist in this dark night, but unexpectedly, just as he was about to land, someone suddenly walked up to him in the corridor.

Taking away the protagonist's position also disturbed the firefly that was as bright as a star.

The fireflies then flew away.

The person coming is Zelin.

I drank too much water before going to bed, woke up after peeing, and got up to go to the toilet.

He yawned and went to find the hut.

Passing through the corridor and walking to the path in the middle, with sleepy eyes, I just glanced casually——

He saw a dark shadow.

It flashed by.

It was so fast that people suspected that it was their own eyesight.

Zelin's yawning movement froze for an instant, and then the sleepiness disappeared and he rubbed his eyes.

...can't see anything.

The shadow just now seemed to be just his illusion.

He tried to open his eyes wide and looked around.

There is no one around. The night watchman just passed by here and won't be back soon.

The defense at this time can be said to be nothing.

That shadow...

Zeqing looked in the direction where the shadow flashed - Shouchen Palace?

That’s not Mr. Yun’s residence——

Before he had time to think about it, he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder.

His master's voice came, "You're up so late at night, what are you doing here?"

Zeqing turned around and said, "Master."

Seeing that it was his master, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something immediately.

But then he thought about it, because it was just a blink of an eye, and he was a little unsure - not sure whether he saw a human figure, or...

"Master, I just..."

"how?"

"...It's nothing, I just... seemed to be a little sleepy."

He scratched his head and said, "I originally wanted to go to the toilet..."

If you think about it carefully, this East Palace is already the most heavily guarded place in the palace.

There's no way a thief could break in.

It was probably the guards, or maybe he was dazzled.

Because his master taught him to be cautious in his words and deeds, he did not dare to say nonsense without any basis.
