Liu Yaoyao opened her eyes wide, as if she could see through the night and see through all the mysteries.
The little wild horse named "gossip" in her heart had already broken free and was running wildly, pulling her thoughts along, galloping across the palace walls.
Liu Yaoyao looked at it several times to make sure it was correct.
That person is Liu Jingshu.
Why did Liu Jingshu come to the palace so late?
Judging from her appearance, she doesn't look like someone who is here to put out a fire, but rather like a thief.
Could it be that she was the one who set the fire?
So her target is her?
When Liu Yaoyao imagined a palace version of "Infernal Affairs" in her mind, Liu Jingshu's figure suddenly paused.
As if he had noticed something, he turned back suddenly, and their eyes met in the night, and the air froze in an instant.
"Oh my god, this look is smarter than the cat in the palace!"
Liu Yaoyao's heart skipped a beat, but she pretended to be calm and waved her hand.
She tried to diffuse the awkwardness with her signature silly smile.
"Sister, why don't you take a walk so late? The moonlight is nice, suitable for... um, thinking about life."
Liu Jingshu was stunned for a while, then a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
That smile looked both weird and charming in the moonlight.
"Oh? Sister Yaoyao is in a good mood too. She stayed up late at night. Could she be waiting for the night sky?"
"Haha, the night sky is not as pretty as you. I'm just... afraid that you might get lost."
As Liu Yaoyao spoke, she moved closer to Liu Jingshu, trying to get some words out of her.
"By the way, why are you out so late? Do you have any secret mission?"
Liu Jingshu coughed lightly, her eyes flickering.
"A secret mission? Oh, yes, yes, I am here to carry out a very important mission. I am here to find the lost Night Pearl for my father!"
"Night Pearl? That's my father's favorite. Are you sure you're not here to steal it?"
Liu Yaoyao deliberately joked, but secretly admired the girl's ability to respond.
"Cheating? Sister Yaoyao, you have a really wild imagination. But speaking of which, if there really is such a magical night-shining pearl, I would like to try it and see if it is sweeter than the snacks in the imperial kitchen."
As Liu Jingshu spoke, she licked her lips pretentiously, which made Liu Yaoyao almost unable to hold back her laughter.
"Alright, alright, stop pretending, I know you're definitely not doing this for the Night Pearl.
Tell me, what's going on?"
Liu Yaoyao had an expression that said "I understand you" and reached out to pat Liu Jingshu on the shoulder.
Liu Jingshu blinked, then suddenly leaned close to Liu Yaoyao's ear, put her hands behind her back, and made a gesture towards the secret corner.
"Want to know? Hehe, that depends on whether you are brave enough! Follow me!"
Liu Jingshu playfully grabbed Liu Yaoyao's hand and walked towards the cold palace.
Liu Yaoyao was aroused by this sudden sense of mystery.
She turned her head and looked at Yueya and Yueman who were wary behind her. The two were about to step forward, obviously worried about their master's safety.
Liu Yaoyao shook her head gently and signaled them with her eyes to be patient.
Liu Yaoyao let Liu Jingshu hold her hand.
The two of them were like a pair of explorers about to embark on a treasure hunt, heading excitedly towards the cold palace.
The cold palace, a place that no one cares about on weekdays, looks particularly gloomy under the moonlight, but it also adds a bit of mystery.
"Sister, are you sure we want to come here? This place sounds creepy."
Liu Yaoyao asked as she walked, even though she said this.
But her pace did not slow down at all. Instead, she quickened due to curiosity.
"Oh, sister, what are you afraid of? I'm here!"
Liu Jingshu turned around and gave Liu Yaoyao a comforting look, which was full of confidence and cunning.
Of course, there were also calculations that she thought no one saw.
Liu Yaoyao rolled her eyes behind her back.
There is nothing to be afraid of in this place, but you are much scarier than this place.
The two of them passed through a series of mottled palace gates and finally arrived at the depths of the cold palace.
The place is overgrown with weeds, and occasionally you can hear the chirping of night birds, which adds a sense of desolation.
At this moment, Liu Jingshu suddenly stopped and pointed at a seemingly ordinary stone cave mysteriously.
"Look, there is light over there, maybe the Night Pearl is here!"
Liu Yaoyao widened her eyes and moved forward curiously.
I saw a faint light coming from the cave, and it seemed that something was flickering inside.
She was about to ask.
Liu Jingshu couldn't wait to get in.
Only a string of silver bell-like laughter echoed in the night sky.
"Come on, Yaoyao, if you're late you won't get a share!"
Liu Yaoyao rolled her eyes and followed him into the cave.
The space inside the cave is not large, but it is decorated in a unique style.
There are several oil lamps hanging on the wall, making the place warm.
The most eye-catching thing is the small table in the center which is filled with all kinds of strange herbs.
"What...what is this place?"
Liu Yaoyao's voice was filled with disbelief, and her eyes were bigger than copper bells, as if they could contain the entire secret of the cold palace.
"Haha, sister, you better stand still, don't get scared!"
Liu Jingshu dragged out the tone in a mysterious manner, but a sly smile flashed across her face, as if she was saying.
"Next, it's time for the main event!"
But when the words came to her lips, she suddenly changed the subject and stopped talking.
The expressions on their faces also became extremely rich, as if they were having an impromptu emoticon competition.
"That's also... um, that, um, how should I put it, it's... oh no, it's a place full of surprises and adventures!"
Liu Jingshu's twists and turns not only made the air freeze for a moment, but even the moon outside the window seemed to hide in the clouds, for fear of missing out on this good show.
However, at this delicate moment, an uninvited guest broke the silence.
"Whoosh——" sound.
A black shadow flashed like a ghost, accompanied by a loud "clang".
A gleaming machete slashed at lightning speed, steadily...
It stopped about an inch above the back of Liu Yaoyao's head and did not fall, but it was enough to make people break out in a cold sweat.
"Ouch, this isn't right!"
Instead of being frightened, Liu Yaoyao quickly grabbed the machete and rolled backwards.
His movements were so smooth as if he had practiced acrobatics for ten years, and there was a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Sister, your welcome ceremony is quite special, but I am not someone you can easily mess with!"
The shadow guard was completely bewildered, obviously not expecting this seemingly weak princess to have such skills.
The machete in his hand almost slipped out of his hand.
Liu Jingshu had an expression that said "I knew it would be like this", with her hands on her hips, laughing so hard that she fell forward and backward.
"Haha, sister, you really didn't let me down! However, this is my special guest, Brother Shadow Guard. He is just here to entertain us, so don't be nervous!"
As she spoke, Liu Jingshu patted the shadow guard on the shoulder, with such intimacy that it seemed as if the two of them were old friends.
The shadow guard had a helpless look on his face, but the surprise in his eyes had gradually turned into admiration.
Because the moment she spoke, Liu Yaoyao had fainted on the ground.
