Xia Qiulian hadn't seen Yan Wanting for several days, but heard from the maids in the palace that Her Royal Highness the Princess has been serving Concubine Chen in Jingyi Palace these days.

It is said that Her Highness the Princess is very filial, and she is very respectful and respectful to Concubine Chen who took care of and raised her since she was a child.

All the rumors in the palace are the good name of Her Royal Highness.

Amidst the praise, Xia Qiulian lowered her head and her cold face was indifferent. She knew Yan Wanting's kindness to Concubine Chen a long time ago, and she knew it better than they did.

Yan Wanting is indeed a silly woman who values ​​love and righteousness.

If she has you in her heart, even the moon in the sky, she would like to pick it off for you.

If there is you, no matter how cold you are to her, she will rush to you like a moth to a flame. She never cares whether she is infatuated or stupid.

Who would be willing to hurt such a woman.

And only she can...

Xia Qiulian clenched the scroll in his hand, his head felt a little dull, and the suffocating pain hit him one after another.

Xia Qiulian's face suddenly turned pale, and even the book in his hand and the words on it could not be read clearly.

"Miss, Your Majesty has to deal with the memorial today, and he ordered that he will not come today. Do you want to rest earlier? If so, I will ask someone to prepare hot water for Miss to take a bath and change clothes."

Qing Yuan happened to knock on the door at this time and shouted outside the study.

"Qing Yuan, come in."

Xia Qiulian put down the scroll.

As soon as Qing Yuan entered the door, she saw that Xia Qiulian's face seemed a little pale, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Xia Qiulian with concern, and said anxiously.

"Miss has such a bad complexion, but she is not feeling well, but Qing Yuan should ask the imperial physician to have a look."

"It's just a little boring. I'll take a rest later. Put on the lantern and go out for a walk with me."

Xia Qiulian shook her head lightly, her thin body straightened, as she always seemed like this, no matter how uncomfortable she was, she never bent down.

"Miss, it's really all right."

Qing Yuan was still somewhat skeptical.

"Silly girl, what did I lie to you for? After reading for a day, my eyes are a little sore. Come out for a walk with me."

Xia Qiulian looked at Qing Yuan helplessly.

"Okay, I'll call Lu Ruan, and take two lanterns to accompany the young lady for a walk. Don't act like a nerd, the young lady always stays in the study room reading all day long, go out and take a walk, take a walk."

Qing Yuan scratched her head and smiled, frowned at Xia Qiu's smiling brows, and then ran out to look for Lu Ruan.

Xia Qiulian looked at Qing Yuan's bouncing figure, smiled lightly and shook her head.

That silly girl is full of energy all day long.

Lu Ruan is a bit bored and stays in a daze, but Qing Yuan is a wild character who always runs around and can't stop for a moment. She is bored in the hall and dare not go out alone. At this time, she heard Xia Qiulian say that she would Going out, I was very happy, and ran over with Lv Ruan.

"Qing Yuan, slow down, the lantern is about to go out." Lu Ruan was dragged away by Qing Yuan, while she was still reaching out to protect the lantern in her hand, helplessly and anxiously.

"Miss, let's go out."

Qing Yuan exclaimed excitedly, her smile was heartless, bright and bright like a piece of rice paper not stained with a drop of ink, clean and pure.

"Well, let's go."

Xia Qiulian looked at Qingyuan, who was smiling excitedly, and Lvruan, who was frowning while carefully protecting the lantern with her head down, her anxious heart calmed down a lot.

There are white stone lampposts carved with little lion heads everywhere in Yan Palace, and candles are lit inside. Every night, little eunuchs carrying lanterns and bamboo baskets make rounds to replace the extinguished lampposts with candles to light them up.

The candles of the Yan Palace were also lit at night, and until the next morning, the whole palace was brightly lit.

I heard that there is a reason for this.

The former empress was afraid of the dark, and it was difficult to sleep if it was dark at night, so the Emperor Yan ordered that the entire Yan Palace be lit up so that the empress could see the light.

So from then on, many lampposts were built and added to the palace, and all of them were lit at night, so that the whole palace was never completely dark.

Even if the former empress had gone, Emperor Yan still hadn't changed his will.

She had heard Yanhuang say it.

That lord of a country, that monarch with tens of thousands of people, once stood lonely by the window, looking at the lighted lamp post outside the window, his decisive face was gentle like a boy immersed in love, his eyes Muttering softly with tears.

"She comes to see me in my dreams every night. If the lights go out, I'm afraid she'll panic and lose her way. This time, I can't find her."

Perhaps, Yan Wanting's infatuation should all be inherited from this gentle emperor.

Unknowingly, Xia Qiulian walked all the way forward, passed the maple forests on both sides, and came directly to the old pear tree behind the maple forest.

When she came back to her senses, she suddenly realized that she had arrived at this place.

There are several white stone lampposts around the old pear tree, and the candles inside seem to have just been replaced.

"Miss, let's go back, there is no one here, it looks scary."

Qingyuan, who was following Xia Qiulian, had hidden behind Luruan at some point, poking her head out half of her head, her eyes rolling in horror, swallowing her saliva and looking around.

When she was in the imperial garden just now, she could see patrolling guards and court ladies and eunuchs walking around in a short while, so she was naturally not afraid.

But Xia Qiulian walked to such a remote place, with a large pile of trees behind, and the wind rustled, which made people feel chills on their backs.

"You have the guts to shout to go out." Lu Ruan looked at the person behind her who was holding her tightly behind her with contempt.

"As long as you are brave, you are still afraid. Look at your trembling, and you still don't say it, you coward."

Qingyuan wrinkled her nose and curled her lips in disdain.

The two behind them were still arguing, and Xia Qiulian didn't care to pay attention to them. She looked at the lush old pear tree in front of her, her eyes were getting darker and darker.

This tree, according to Yan Wanting, was here during the previous dynasty, and it must have grown for more than 200 years.

She met Yan Wanting under this tree in her previous life.

I have also been here with Yan Wanting countless times.

Yan Banting loves this old pear tree very much. In summer, he often climbs to the tree and lies on the trunk to take a nap in the morning.

She asked Xia Qiulian to climb the tree with her many times, but she never went up with Yan Banting, but occasionally waited for Yan Banting to wake up under the tree and left with her.

But today, Xia Qiulian was a little bit interested. She gently lifted the corner of her skirt, walked to the side of the pear tree, and reached out to gently touch the rough bark.

Underneath, is a fresh and old life.

"Miss, what are you doing?" Qing Yuan looked at Xia Qiulian who seemed to be about to climb a tree with her skirt in her hands in astonishment.

This is just too weird.

The lady in her family who has been as quiet as a bamboo since she was a child, let alone a tree, doesn't even sit on a swing, is so interested in climbing a tree with her skirts in her hands and without any scruples about her image.

"Miss, come down, miss, what are you doing, be careful not to fall."

With a flick of the Qingyuan lantern, she ran to the tree, hugged Xia Qiulian's slender waist, and shouted in shock.

"Qing Yuan, let go."

Xia Qiulian hugged the tree, and before her feet left the ground, she was held back by Qing Yuan, she frowned helplessly and bit her lips.

"Don't let it go, Miss, what happened to you today, how can you climb a tree, what if you fall, even if you don't fall, you can't climb it."

...

Qing Yuan hugged Xia Qiulian tightly.

"Qingyuan, let go, I won't climb. I'm just curious about the scenery above."

Although what Qing Yuan said was a bit hurtful, Xia Qiulian knew that she really couldn't climb up.

"Then I let go, the lady will not climb anymore."

Qing Yuan was skeptical, and hugged Xia Qiulian tightly.

"Ah."

Xia Qiulian nodded, she frowned a little uncomfortable, and was very uncomfortable being pressed against the tree trunk by Qingyuan.

"it is good."

Qing Yuan let go of her hand.

Xia Qiulian put down her hand that was clinging to the tree, and looked up at the towering and huge tree crown sadly.

Sudden.

A pale and slender hand stretched out from the tree.

"I'm curious about the scenery, I always want to come up to see it, why don't I pull you up."

A deep voice came from the dark canopy.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah"

Qing Yuan stared like a copper bell, pointing at the pale ghostly hand that suddenly protruded from the tree, she was so terrified that she couldn't move her body, her face was ashen and frightened, she screamed heart-piercingly, her eyes rolled over Limp down.

"Qing Yuan."

Lu Ruan, who was a few steps away, stared wide-eyed, and ran a few steps in a hurry, but it was still too late, she could only watch Qing Yuan fall to the ground straight like a piece of wood, and passed out.
