After being picked up by Daxian

The figures of the two froze, only to feel that there was a figure approaching from behind, and a palm slapped Hengqing's shoulder fiercely.

"Hey, I'm calling you!"

Turning around slowly, a tall, dark-skinned man was frowning at them.One of them was wearing a purple brocade suit, with a gold medal and a saber hanging from his waist. He was obviously a guard of a higher rank, patrolling near the emperor's palace.

"You guys are very unfamiliar..." The man squinted his eyes and looked the two of them up and down.Although the two have changed their appearance a little, there is still the possibility of being exposed and discovered.

Xue Jiang reacted very quickly, she just lowered her eyebrows and said pleasingly: "You guys are new guards, I don't know the rules and come here, please forgive me." Hengqing also hurriedly lowered her head when she heard Xue Jiang's words, and waited for orders with a submissive expression. look like

"New here, no wonder..."

Seeing that the two of them didn't seem to be lying, the man only waved his hand slightly, as if to let them go.

However, before they could take a few steps, the man shouted again, "Slow down."

Hengqing froze, fearing that the man would find out, but the man continued: "It just so happens that Si Ling luthier is going to play music in the emperor's palace, and I have something important to do. You two, escort me a good luthier. Stand by outside the hall. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, you will be killed!"

The two of them just kept their promises, only to see a golden soft sedan chair behind them, being slowly carried up.Due to the cover of the car curtain, the two could not see the true face of the person inside the car.

"Haven't you greeted the master luthier?"

Hearing the man's words, Heng Qing and Xue Jiang hurriedly bowed to say hello, but they heard a cold male voice from inside the sedan chair.

"You don't need to be too polite, just send me to the inner hall quickly."

After the soft sedan started to move again, and the man in purple left happily, Heng Qing said helplessly: "This man is very happy and relaxed. If the escort is not good enough, it will be our fault."

"The excuses in the palace have always been like this, but it's a surprise that the job of escorting the luthier fell to us. In this way, we don't have to think of other ways to enter the inner hall."

The two led the way at the front, and the soft sedan chair was carried at the back. The group walked slowly and gradually arrived at the door of the emperor's bedroom.

"My lord, the emperor's bedroom has arrived."

The palace man who lifted the sedan chair gently put down the soft sedan chair and opened the curtain of the sedan chair. First, a pair of black boots stepped out of the sedan chair, and then a plain white figure slowly stepped out of the sedan chair.

But he saw that the man was wearing a gold-rimmed snow gown with rolling cloud patterns, the loose gown showed his thin waist even more.Her long hair was tied up with a few thin silver chains, inlaid with white pearls and jade glass, and there were dots of snow-colored light in the thick black hair.

The luthier looks handsome, as young as a man who has not yet reached the crown, but his complexion is pale and thin, with a little sickness.

I saw a lacquered red paulownia Yaoqin surrounded by his arms, and the ice silk strings of the qin shone like stardust in the moonlight.

He covered his face and coughed a few times, then lowered his eyes slightly, and only ordered, "No one else can enter, you wait outside." Then he entered the palace gate, and there was no more sound.

The palace man who carried the sedan chair unloaded the soft sedan chair from the steps so that the audience could stand still.But Xue Jiang and Heng Qing stood outside the palace gate, but they frowned.

Not because there is something wrong with the luthier, but precisely because there is nothing wrong with him.

"Could it be that this luthier really has no problem?"

Facing Hengqing's question, even though Xue Jiang had no clue, he did not let down his vigilance.

"Don't make a judgment too early. Although the luthier looks normal on the surface, he is still very suspicious of being able to get close to the emperor's side every day, and making such weird behaviors that forbid others to enter."

Due to the suspicion in their hearts, the two quietly walked around to a hidden window at the back of the palace, taking advantage of the dozing palace people not paying attention.

I saw a very thin silver-white snow hook condensed in Xuejiang's hand, and quietly inserted into the gap between the windows.Just hook the buckle lightly, and the window and door quietly reveal a gap.

Between the gap between the windows and doors, Heng Qing and Xue Jiang hid behind the windows and doors, peeking at everything in the hall.

Different from other palaces, the emperor's bedroom is much simpler and more elegant, except for the necessary beds, desks, seats, and a few ink calligraphy and paintings on the wall, there is not much embellishment.

The emperor was seen wearing a golden cloak with only satin white underwear inside, obviously ready to sleep.Only his voice was low and gentle.

"A Ling, you and I have known each other for ten years. Unexpectedly, after such a long time, you are still as young as when I first met."

Si Ling only lowered her eyes slightly, and did not meet the emperor's tender eyes, but said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there are differences between monarchs and ministers."

"There is no one else here, so why be so restrained? You see, since you entered the palace, you have been so indifferent. I still miss the time when you still treated me as your bosom friend and called me Yijin."

Seeing that Si Ling was still unmoved, Xue Yijin just sighed slightly, her long hair hanging down covered the disappointment in her eyes.

"Although your piano skills are still exquisite, I always feel that no matter how difficult your piano sound is to resonate with me. I began to regret it. Was it a wrong choice to let you enter the palace..."

Of course, without hearing Si Ling's response, Xue Yijin smiled wryly, as if she understood. "Si Ling, play the music according to your preference."

Hearing Xue Yijin's words, Si Ling, who had been sitting still, started to move now.

I saw him with a condensed expression, stretching out his skinny and pale hands under the wide sleeves, gently plucking the strings with his right hand, and pressing the strings with his left hand to get the tone.

The sound of the piano, like flowing water, burst out immediately.Its fingertips are more like flying butterflies, complicated and gorgeous, so that anyone who sees it can't help but marvel at the agility and superb fingering.

However, Xue Yijin was still frowning while listening to Si Ling's piano music.

He took a deep look at Si Ling, then slowly walked towards the bed, wrapped in a quilt, and seemed to have fallen asleep.

And Hengqing outside the palace became more and more suspicious.Until Xue Yijin went to bed, she couldn't detect Si Ling's strangeness.

Could it be that Si Ling really wasn't a monster who absorbed royal energy...

Xue Yijin on the bed seemed to be fast asleep, and her breathing became more and more lingering.

However, Si Ling continued to play unmoved, and the playing under his fingers became more and more hurried, and the paulownia zither gave off a faint black air.

really!

After discovering the abnormal movement, Hengqing and Xuejiang focused on Si Ling's actions.

I saw that Si Ling's eyes were dark and empty, but the fingers playing the piano did not slow down, like a puppet being manipulated.

A ray of golden air flowed out from the back of Xue Yijin's neck, slowly drifting towards Si Ling's nose.

Xue Yijin on the bed seemed to be in great pain, her brows were furrowed, and her expression became distorted.Cold sweat drenched the hair on his forehead.

His mouth kept opening and closing, like a dying fish out of water, but trembling weakly.

After the airflow was absorbed, the music also stopped abruptly.Si Ling's empty gaze returned to its usual coldness.

Xue Yijin on the bed also relaxed slightly.It's just that he is still talking softly in his sleep, as if he hasn't completely freed himself from the pain.

Seeing that Si Ling picked up Tongmu Yaoqin again and was about to get up, the two hurried back to the door.After the two stood still, Si Ling just opened the door and said coldly, "Take me back to the palace."

Si Ling walked down the steps and sat on the soft sedan chair again.After sending him back, Hengqing and Xuejiang returned to the corner just now, erased the memory of the unconscious guard, changed back into their clothes, and returned to the bedroom.

"It turns out that this luthier is a puppet being manipulated. No wonder, there is nothing unusual about him..."

Recalling Si Ling's lost eyes and the bitter disappointment in Xue Yijin's eyes just now, Hengqing couldn't help frowning.If the emperor knew that the luthier he was facing had long since lost his true soul, then what would he do...

"Although we already know that the luthier is indeed a puppet that absorbs the dragon's energy. But we can't act rashly and startle the snake. First of all, we must let the emperor know and believe this fact, otherwise, everything will be difficult to proceed."

Xue Jiang opened the mahogany window and let the silver moonlight fall on him.

The moonlight was extremely bright this night, making Xue Jiang's face even more flawless, it seemed that even the tiny fluff on his face could be clearly seen.

For some reason, Hengqing looked at Xue Jiang's back, and suddenly felt that that person's back was extremely lonely, getting farther and farther away from her, as if it was about to melt into the watery moonlight, so that she could no longer be seen.

When he came back to his senses, he found that he was already standing in front of that person, and he was pulling his shirt shamelessly, and that person had already turned his head and looked at him.

The very close face, and the cold, probing eyes, seemed to see through the despicableness in his heart.

As if being stung by an insect, Heng Qing suddenly wanted to withdraw her hand, but was grabbed by the man's hand.

The palm that was supposed to be as cool as jade turned out to be strangely hot, as if it was about to burn my own hand.

Hengqing hurriedly turned her head, trying to break free from Xuejiang's shackles, but was held even tighter by him.

I felt that my head was forcibly turned away, and I met the man's eyes unexpectedly.Those eyes of ice and snow that always seemed to never melt for thousands of years were also dyed with a fiery color.

"You are always like this... time and time again, easily stirring my heart, but leaving me behind."

Before she had time to think about the deep meaning of Xue Jiang's words, Heng Qing felt her hands loosen, her waist was pulled, and the distance between Xue Jiang and Xue Jiang was a little closer.

The tips of their noses almost touched, and when their eyes met, the cold and strange fragrance and the fragrance of grass and trees mixed and blended between them.

"I said that if there is a next time, I will never let go of your hand, but you don't seem to have learned your lesson. Since this is the case, it seems that I don't have to be patient anymore—"

I just felt a burst of cool softness pressing against my lips.Xue Jiang pried open his lips and teeth, grabbed his soft tongue and started to stir it.

Although the kissing method is still slightly jerky, the strength is extremely domineering.Seemingly dissatisfied, Xue Jiang suddenly bit the tip of his tongue hard.

Hengqing was in pain for a moment, and couldn't help crying out, but was blocked by Xue Jiang's lips and tongue again, and the painful cry instantly became blurred, mixed into the ambiguous sound of water.

It wasn't until Hengqing collapsed unsteadily that Xuexiang let go of Hengqing's lips.

When she left, there was still a trace of crystal clear between her lips.Under the reflection of the watery silver light, it sets off a kind of icy color.
