After dinner, I was chatting and laughing with Su Su and the others for a while. After listening to the howling wind outside, I knew it was time to go to bed.
I ordered, "Get some hot water."
Madam Wu agreed to go, but Su Su hesitated to look outside the door. Madam Wu said, "What's wrong? What are you looking at?"
"Miss is going to bed so early?" Su Su looked at me and said, "What if the emperor comes?"
My face slightly darkened. Before I could speak, Madam Wu had already said, "Don't talk, why did the emperor come here at night!"
When Su Su heard this, she waved her hand and decided to tell her: "I'm not saying that the emperor came to spend the night, I'm trying to say that Miss Miaoyan is here, and the eldest lady decided to stay again. Why would the emperor not come and take a look?"
My face was still not very good-looking, but Madam Wu pushed her gently and said, "It's not your business to do whether the emperor comes or not. The girl is tired now, so hurry up and serve the girl and rest."
"Oh, I get it."
After saying that, they went to get hot water. Miaoyan and I washed it for a while, changed into pajamas, and went to bed.
After tucking the quilt for us, putting down the curtains, and packing the candlesticks and tidying up the incense burner and candlesticks. After closing the door, I heard Susu and Madam Wu chatting about something. It seemed that she was calm about the emperor not coming tonight, but Madam Wu was a little nervous.
I lay quietly on the bed, time passed by little by little, but I was not sleepy at all. I only listened to the howling wind outside and looked at the swaying shadows of trees reflected on the window.
This was the first night I decided to "enter the palace" again. Although I was lucky, I was a little strange and even panicked. On the first night I entered the palace, I was so quiet that nothing happened and was about to pass.
No one came to cause trouble for me, and nothing happened.
Compared to me who held up an oil-paper umbrella and waited for the heavy rain to come, this quietness seemed a bit strange.
In fact, not only Su Su was a little confused, but I was also a little confused.
Her worries were also my worries. Although I didn't want to see Pei Yuanhao, after all, I decided to enter the palace again this time, and there was still some entanglement, but I didn't expect that he really didn't show up.
Fortunately, I was a little nervous.
Because if what you can be guarded on the outside does not happen, then what you can be guarded on the inside will not be so easy to guard against.
I couldn't help but sigh, turned over, and looked at Miaoyan who was sleeping beside me.
She is usually quiet and rarely responds to everything around her, but only when she is sleeping, she looks innocent. Her pouty mouth is slightly open, revealing her teeth like rice grains. Sometimes she will blow one or two blisters, looking naive and cute. Listening to her calm and even breathing sounds, my constant chaotic mood slowly calmed down.
No matter what, the soldiers come to block the enemy and the water comes to cover the earth.
I know what to face after entering the palace gate. However, Yue Qingying was in a state of no body in the past, but she was just a palace maid who could be trampled on by everyone. She could still walk out alive. Now I have my own identity, and even have so many friends in and outside the palace. Each place is somewhat a restraint for Pei Yuanhao. I don’t believe that I would be inferior to myself back then.
Thinking of this, I calmed down slightly, reached out and stroked Miaoyan's face, then closed my eyes.
Sleep gradually came, listening to the sound of the wind outside, slowly, it seemed to blow into my dream.
But just as I gradually fell into a dream and saw the ice and snow in the dream and felt the biting cold in the dream, I suddenly heard a voice saying loudly: "Who is where?!"
I suddenly opened my eyes.
It didn't matter if I opened my eyes, but I happened to see a person's figure reflected on the window opposite the bed with the mottled trees outside.
However, before I could see clearly, it disappeared.
I was stunned and sat there with my body on my back. After a while, I saw another person running over hurriedly, standing outside the window and looking, then pushing open our door.
"Miss!"
It's Susu!
She held a candlestick in her hand, and as soon as she came in, she illuminated half of the room. Seeing me sitting on the head of the bed with my body on my back, she hurried over: "Miss, are you okay?"
I was still unable to speak for a moment, but I was shocked and sweated. Seeing my appearance, Su Su hurriedly lit the candlesticks beside the bed and on the table, and the room was clear. Then she poured me a cup of hot tea and said, "Girl, drink some hot tea, and suppress the shock."
I reached out and took it and took a sip. At this time, Madam Wu also came over.
"Girl, Su Su, what's going on? What were you yelling just now?"
"I saw someone outside the girl's room."
"Who?"
"I didn't see clearly, and as soon as I came over, he disappeared."
"There is such a thing? Is it a thief?"
"I don't know this."
Su Su said, after I drank half a cup of tea, she took the tea bowl and reached out to wipe the sweat beads on my forehead. I looked back at Miaoyan. She was still sleeping unaware of it, so she made a low gesture to them, put on her clothes and got out of bed.
They helped me walk to the table in the center of the room and sat down. They put down the curtains in the middle of the inside and outside. Miaoyan turned over and looked inside without any notice on the bed. After sleeping more quickly, I felt at ease.
But I still feel a little uneasy when I think about it just now.
Madam Wu had already asked clearly and was shocked: "Is there such a thing?"
Su Su seemed to be scared, her face was a little pale at this time, and she grabbed her sleeves hard.
I looked at her and said, "By the way, why are you wandering outside at night?"
Su Su said: "To be honest, today is the day when the young lady made such an important decision. The emperor did not come and none of the ladies came. I felt something was wrong. I always felt something had happened, so I didn't dare to sleep late at night. I was a little upset just now, so I said it and walked around, but who knew I saw it!"

Su Su smiled for a moment, but felt that it was not the time to laugh, so she looked back at me.
My heart is also deep.
It seems that this time I entered the palace, I was indeed not able to spend it with such a calm life.
But who is it? It’s okay to have a plan in the open and secret way, but someone actually sneaked into Jingren Palace to the edge of my house at night. If Su Su hadn’t seen it, what would that person do?
Do an offense? Or—
At this moment, a messy footsteps came from outside. When I looked up, I saw the lights outside the door flashing. Madam Wu hurriedly got up, opened the door and took a look, and hurriedly saluted: "Empress."
Chang Qing is here.
I also hurriedly stood up and saw Chang Qing leading the kanger and the others in. She probably got up hastily, her clothes were thin, and her sideburns were a little sleeping. When I came in, I saw that the three of us were awake, and only Miaoyan was still sleeping on the bed, so I lowered my voice and asked, "What's going on?"
I went up to meet him: "Why is the Empress coming?"
"I heard that there was a noise here, so I came over and saw what happened?"
"It's nothing big."
"Um?"
She obviously didn't believe it, and just stared at me. Su Su said from the side: "I just saw a thief lying on the lady's window."
"What? Thieves?"
Chang Qing was shocked and turned around to look at me: "What's going on?"
I told her briefly what had just happened. Her brows frowned deeply and murmured: "What happened like this? Has the thief interspered into Jingren Palace?"
I hurriedly said, "I can't explain it clearly now. It may be that Su Su was just dazzled and misread. Don't care."
Chang Qing glanced at me.
I was also a little uneasy. After all, Pei Yuanhao was so embarrassed by the way during the day because I entered the palace and lived by her. Now, on the first day of my stay, I was in a state of trouble. Not to mention that someone would say something ugly, it was just her that disturbed her like this, and I felt a little guilty.
Chang Qing was silent for a while, and then said, "What is the truth? You must find out clearly. If there are really thieves who sneak into Jingren Palace, I will not tolerate such a thing."
After saying that, she stood up.
But just as she stood up, she suddenly staggered and almost fell. Fortunately, I was quick-eyed and rushed forward to protect her.
"Empress!"
She fell into my arms, her face suddenly turned pale and she almost fainted.
When Kuoer and the others saw him, they hurried over to protect her and helped her sit down slowly. Xing'er had already run away. After a while, she took a small bottle of pills and poured them in her hand to give her two pills. She pineapple with hot water, and kept rubbing her chest to help her calm her breath. After a while, she saw Chang Qing's face turning slightly.
I looked at her worriedly: "What's wrong with Empress?"
Chang Qing couldn't speak, so she supported her head with her hands. A patch of fine sweat beads on her forehead were visible by the candlelight. Kua'er next to her sighed and said, "The Empress is weak in body and weak in energy. She has been unable to sleep well for many years. Tonight, she heard something happening here, and I'm afraid she'll be a little--"
As he said that, he looked at her worriedly.
I couldn't help but feel heartbroken: "Why should the Queen come here to do this? If the Feng body is damaged, that is my sin!"
She looked up at me, and after a while, she shook her head gently: "Forget it."
"Empress."
She held the hand of the handkerchief and waved it again. No one dared to speak, so she just waited quietly. After a while, her face became better. She stood up slowly while holding the edge of the table. Kua'er and Xing'er hurriedly supported her arms on both sides. She said, "Okay, you can rest first."
"Empress, you——"
