Light Red Northern Song

As night fell, Qi Mingxuan, who was taking a bath in East Lake Anjin Garden, paused with his fingers, looking at his chest, the red birthmark on his left seemed to be getting darker and fainter.Since when did this imprint gradually fade?She shook her head slightly, got up and put on her night clothes.

Although he knew that stealing the talisman tonight was very risky, but time waited for no one, so he had to give it a go.Even though Chu Shanyi knew that he and the eldest prince would not sit still, he would not be able to grasp all their movements in detail.If you miss, you have to take the last step and escape from the capital. It is impossible to marry in Yongdi.

Chu Shanyi had indeed guessed that someone would come to steal the talisman early in the morning, so he also sent additional people to the bedroom.But Qi Mingxuan is very good at martial arts, and he acted alone again tonight, coming and going without a trace.She sneaked into the palace through Ximen Neiying's coordination, and went all the way to Shangxuan Palace. When the guards noticed, she had stolen the tiger amulet and left the queen's bedroom.

As soon as she turned a long corridor and came to a remote place, she heard a rapid bell ringing from the direction of the clock tower.

"Your Highness, hand over the Tiger Talisman to your subordinates, who will leave the palace through the west gate." The person who came to meet the Tiger Talisman appeared from the dark and said.

"It's too late. When the big bell rings, all doors are forbidden to enter and exit. I think of a way on my own, and you should hide first." There are dancing fire lights and restless human voices everywhere, getting closer, Qi Mingxuan frowned. Eyebrows turned in a direction to hide away.

"Your Highness, Your Highness." Xia Le whispered outside the hall.

"Bengong is already awake, come in." An Ning answered by putting on her coat and getting out of bed.

"Your Highness, the big bell is ringing, and the palace is under martial law. There may be more noise later." Xia Le said as he came in to light the lamp, and then took the coat and put it on for the master.

"It's noisy enough now, and you don't have to stay here to make people ask what's going on."

Xia Le ordered him out of the hall, and after a while An Ning also stood up and came to the entrance of the hall. At this time, there were still four guards standing on the outer corridor.She looked around, but didn't see Linlang, could it be that she was on the roof again?She looked up, but happened to catch a glimpse of a black figure rushing into the bedroom from the west side.

An Ning opened her mouth and saw Xia Le coming up the stone steps.

"Your Highness, I heard that a group of thieves stole the soldier talisman. Now the guards are searching for these thieves everywhere. They must be arriving at Jinyun Palace soon."

"Someone stole the soldier talisman?" An Ning looked at the west window of the dormitory, and said, "Oh, why didn't I see Daoist Linlang in this palace? You go and look for it."

After she finished speaking, she turned and entered the sleeping hall, and closed the door of the outer hall casually.Then he walked slowly towards the inner hall, trying to search for traces of the black shadow.

As soon as she stepped into the inner hall, a dagger flashed from the curtain and was instantly placed on her neck.She didn't speak, just quietly confronting the man in black beside her in the flowing candlelight.

"The palace searcher is about to arrive at Jinyun Palace, do you have a way to get out?" An Ning only noticed the man in black after he appeared, which shows that the other party's internal strength is far superior to her own.She sniffed the familiar scent and felt that the dagger was still some distance away from her neck, so she simply closed her eyes and asked.

"Do you have a solution?" Qi Mingxuan lowered his voice and changed his voice to ask.

"I have never searched the palace before. I don't know what will happen. I can only act according to circumstances. If you can't get out for a while, you can only hide here temporarily. After thinking about it, this inner palace is a place where people can hide Only the bed is left."

"How can a bed hide people?" Qi Mingxuan didn't understand what the other party meant.

"Then tell me, on the beam or in the closet? Under the table or under the bed? Where can you hide without being easily found?"

Qi Mingxuan seemed to understand what the other party meant, but he didn't understand why the other party was not afraid at all and helped him hide.At this time, the noise outside became louder, she slowly put away the dagger, and said in a low voice: "Don't play with the flower gun, go to the bed."

An Ning took off her outer shirt and put it on the trellis, put down the gauze curtains on three sides of the bed, and lay down on her side under the silk brocade quilt.After that, Qi Mingxuan leaned on the inside and lay down on his side, tightly sticking to the opponent's back.She felt that An Ning in front of her twisted her body uncomfortably, and lightly pressed the other's back with her right index finger and said, "This is the Mingmen acupoint, which is the death acupoint of the human body. If you dare to move around, you will die on the spot. "

"I know it's the Mingmen acupoint!" An Ning replied angrily, with her body stiff and her face flushed.

"His Royal Highness, the adults from the guard camp are here, do you want to let them in?" Xia Le asked outside the door.

"The adults were ordered to come to Jinyun Palace, how can there be no reason not to let them in? But my palace's old illness broke out, so I asked the adults to finish the search quickly so that I can rest."

Considering that it was the princess' bedroom, only three guards came in from the guard camp.They searched up, down, left, and right, but naturally they didn't dare to approach His Highness's bed.After finding nothing, he left the main hall and searched the side halls of Jinyun Palace.

"Your Highness, this servant sent someone to invite the imperial doctor." After the guards left, Xia Le hurriedly said.

"No need, it's just an old illness, just lie down for a while. Have you found the Taoist priest?" An Ning stopped Xia Le and asked.

"Reporting to Your Highness, Taoist Master Linlang has not been found, and the slaves have sent people to look for them outside Jinyun Palace." Xia Le replied standing in front of the bed with her head down.

"Well, let's go down, Ben Gong really needs to rest." An Ning said while leaning sideways, slowing down her speech.

"Don't you have a dagger? What are you doing to poke someone's acupuncture points?" An Ning asked angrily after the bedroom returned to calm.

"You are so funny. The bed space is narrow. If I use a dagger to hold you under the quilt, you are not afraid of being accidentally injured?" Qi Mingxuan smiled and replied with his voice still suppressed.

"Who is interesting? It's for no reason, you come here whenever you want, and you really think this is your Zhiyun Palace?" An Ning turned her head slightly and asked angrily.

There are still a few lanterns, fire, and human voices outside the window...

"So you knew it was me a long time ago." Qi Mingxuan propped up half of his body and said in his original voice.At this time, her slightly squinted eyes seemed to be glowing with the blue waves of the lake, and she was fixedly looking at the other party.

"What do you think?" An Ning and her stared at each other for a while, then suddenly threw off the brocade quilt and got out of bed barefoot.She blushed and walked towards the outer hall, the strange feeling from the Mingmen acupoint came back again.What's going on here?But even if someone touches a slightly sensitive part, I am obviously a modern person, even if similar body touching is not commonplace, it is impossible to have such a strong sense of strangeness.

Qi Mingxuan got out of bed, looked down at the other party's shoes under the bed, and then walked out of the inner hall slowly.

"Why do you want to help me?" She put down her veil and asked standing behind him with only the hood on.

"I don't know." An Ning replied quickly, still turning her back to the other party.She really didn't know, and she really didn't want to face this person suddenly.Some things seemed to have been deliberately ignored by her, and at this moment, she was a little scared.She couldn't even say "because you also protected me", as if she knew it wasn't the truth.It wasn't because the other party protected him outside the imperial city that time, so why did he do this tonight?

"Oh, Chu Zhenxuan, could it be that the Begonia flower has been distracted?" Seeing that the other party seemed to be getting more and more uncomfortable, Qi Mingxuan suddenly remembered the scene under the Begonia flower before, so he played with his heart and made a joke.

An Ning suddenly turned around, frowning and staring at the other party.The other party's slightly teasing expression appeared in front of her eyes. She tried her best to calm down and asked calmly: "The emperor's aunt has released the news. The tiger amulet was stolen by thieves. If you take it, you can mobilize the troops." Is it?"

"No one will care how the talisman is obtained, the key is in whose hands."

"How many tiger charms did you steal?"

"All Tiger Talismans are stored separately, and the time is limited. I only took the safest one."

"Sister Sanhuang was joking again, why does it feel like there is more than one royal sister?" An Ning used the address of Huangjie and Huangmei again, and looked at her with the corner of her mouth raised.

"Heh..." Qi Mingxuan chuckled, she lowered her head and took two steps towards the door of the palace, carefully distinguishing the noises outside.

"Wouldn't people suspect that the palace searchers couldn't see Miss Sanhuang in Zhiyun Palace?" Seeing that she didn't answer but turned her ear away, An Ning knew that she wanted to wait for the palace searchers to go away, so she waited for the opportunity to leave Jin cloud palace.

"The imperial sister is too worried. The imperial sister left the palace just after you o'clock today." Qi Mingxuan returned to the locked window of the inner hall and replied with a smile.

"Oh...Sister Sanhuang has already made arrangements." An Ning walked slowly into the inner hall, "Master Linlang!" At this moment, she suddenly called out to the locked window behind Qi Mingxuan.

Qi Mingxuan was about to turn his head, but the other party quickly sealed his Tanzhong acupoint.She only felt her internal energy dissipate for a moment, and she couldn't move like that.

An Ning quickly stretched out her hands to feel around his waist and abdomen, and sure enough, she found two bronze tigers, both in half.Half of them are Crouching Tigers and the other half are Tenghu.Both tiger talismans have inscriptions engraved on the tiger's spine, and both ride on the middle crack.

"Sister Huang is so skilled, she even deceived her. Hmph!" Qi Mingxuan opened his eyes wide and looked at the other party in disbelief, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.Well, you Chu Zhenyu, you can even tap acupuncture points!

"Sister Sanhuang, soldiers never tire of deceit. Didn't you lie to the imperial sister to steal only one tiger talisman? Although the inscription is incomplete, but no matter how the imperial sister sees it, it will not be the same soldier talisman." An Ning held up the two tiger talismans as if showing off. After shaking in front of the other party's eyes, he asked with a smile, "Sister Sanhuang, what will the younger sister do with these two soldier talismans now?"

Qi Mingxuan was very annoyed, no one had ever said that this person could do acupuncture, so he never thought that he would fall into her way if he was not careful.She was making calculations in her heart, thinking about all kinds of situations that might arise next, and suddenly said with a smile: "Little Royal Sister, even if you return the Tiger Talismans, how should you explain their origins? Are you going to be hidden behind the Royal Sister?" The matter is also revealed? The empress is not easy to fool, how do you explain why you want to hide me on the bed?"

"Didn't the third sister just say that no one cares about how the talisman is obtained? Whose hand is the key? The imperial sister returned the soldier talisman, which is a great achievement. It is too late for the imperial aunt to reward me, and I need to explain What?" Although An Ning smiled on the face, she was really troubled in her heart.

Are you going to return the soldier talisman by yourself now?Then it's not good to just tap the acupoints of this big living person and put it in his bedroom. If something goes wrong halfway, this person will be in danger.If you can't go by yourself, let others go.If you don't return the soldier talisman now, and wait for a while for the opponent to rush to open the acupoints to grab it, you will not be able to deal with her.

She took a brocade handkerchief, wrapped the two halves of the tiger talisman, and took out a wooden box to put it in.Looking back at Qi Mingxuan, he walked out of the inner hall.

"Xia Le, you hand over this item to Shangxuan Palace, and order a few guards from Liyun Palace to go with you. It must be handed over to Aunt Huang. It's a very important matter, so be careful on the way." An Ning opened the palace door and ordered With just a few words, Xia Le, who was confused, was urged to leave quickly.

Qi Mingxuan was so angry when he heard these words in the inner hall, but he didn't dare to speak out.

"Sister Sanhuang, according to the time, I will release your acupoints when the soldier talisman returns to Shangxuan Palace." An Ning said slowly while sitting on the chair in front of the other party.

"Oh, I knew it was not easy for the emperor's sister. That night in the Yinyan Pavilion, the emperor's sister pretended to be fake, and the emperor believed it." Qi Mingxuan knew that this matter would be a foregone conclusion, so he closed his eyes and laughed at himself: "This time it is indeed true." It's because of the miss Huang's chess move, it seems that Huang Jie must be going to Yongdi, and this year I will leave Cangshan Mountain to enjoy the snow..."

Candle flickering, silent.

"I have no intention of being an enemy of you, but I can't be an enemy of the emperor's aunt. You have your own way not to go to Yongdi, and it is not difficult for you to leave the capital. If there is a destiny in the future..." The two were silent for a long time, and An Ning suddenly fell silent. He stood up and unlocked the opponent's acupoints, leaned forward and opened the locked window to take a few glances outside.Before he could finish speaking, he got on the bed and turned his back on himself, without further words.

Qi Mingxuan stared at the opponent's back, and finally left after a while.
