Gu Linghan stared at the stone with those red golden eyes, but the stone still didn't respond. Gu Linghan waited for a long time, and finally just patted it lightly without saying anything.

Concubine Ye holds an important position and is always on the go, and she never likes to be served close by, so there is only one cleaning lady serving in the huge Yelan Palace.

On this day, when the maid was cleaning the side hall as usual, she suddenly found that the snow swan raised by the concubine Ye had come back. This snow swan was covered with snow-white down feathers, with a round face and big eyes. Round and cat-like, Yuxue is cute and tight.

The palace maid secretly slandered, she didn't know why a concubine Ye with such a cold temperament would raise such a cat-like, cute bird.

It was daytime outside the window, but Xuehu was standing on the shelf drowsily.

The palace maid couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart, she wanted to go up and touch two handfuls of the snow-white down feathers.

But I didn't expect the bird to be so vigilant, and before it got close, the Xuehu opened his eyes suddenly, a pair of round, light-colored bird pupils soaked in the coldness of a killer staring at the target, which scared the maid all over. Stiff, he withdrew his hand apprehensively.

"Sure enough, Xuehu raised by Concubine Ye has the same temperament as him, she scared me to death!" She patted her chest and exhaled.

The snow swan on the shelf shook its feathers, and licked the hook-like beak as if breathing a sigh of relief.

"Goo..." I was scared to death when it was so close to me!

Since Xuehu, raised by the empress, is back, she must be fed.

The maid of Yelan Palace went to the animal workshop and took back a golden cage containing several Chinchillas. She couldn't help the fear in her heart and stretched her arms far away.However, the cage would inevitably shake while walking, and the mice would scurry back and forth in the cage, making her stop a few steps in fright.

"The emperor is here!" came the eunuch's characteristic high-pitched voice.

The maid hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

She was surprised, Concubine Ye hasn't come back yet, what is His Majesty doing?

Gu Linghan waved her hand to excuse her, and seeing the maid's hesitation to speak, she asked, "What? You seem to have something to say."

"Return to Your Majesty, the empress has not yet returned to the palace, it is unfortunate that you came today..."

At this time, a small but cold voice came from behind her, "See, Your Majesty."

The maid looked back with wide eyes, and the concubine Ye came out of the palace.

She hurriedly knelt down and begged for punishment, "Your servant sees your mother! This servant does not know that your mother has returned, please punish me!"

Ye Xi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I just came back."

Gu Linghan looked at Ye Xi who couldn't utter a few words for a long time, and felt amused in his heart.

He knew what was going on when he saw the cage in the hand of the palace lady. Ye Xi must have changed her original shape when she came back just now, and this palace lady happened to see it.

The palace maid didn't know that Xuehu was her master, so she just pretended to be a concubine and didn't return to the palace.

Thinking of this, Gu Linghan opened his mouth to help everyone, "You have always been the only one in Yelan Palace. I think it was when Concubine Ye came back when I went out just now. You are not to blame for this matter, so don't be nervous."

"It's true after all." The palace maid breathed a sigh of relief.

"The maidservant is off to work. Your majesty and empress can just call the maidservant if you have something to do." The maid was about to walk towards the side hall with the cage in her hand.

"Wait, give me the cage, I happen to want to tease that snow swan."

His Majesty the Emperor saved him from the siege again and again, and the maid was grateful from the bottom of her heart.

Seeing that His Majesty is going to feed the Xuehu who looks cute but is actually fierce, he immediately persuaded him worriedly,

"Your Majesty, that snow swan looks docile and cute, but in fact it is extremely fierce. You should come here as a servant, so as not to hurt you."

Gu Linghan couldn't help laughing. He glanced at Ye Xi who seemed to be aggrieved standing beside him without any trace, and said to the maid, "It's okay, I just want to see how fierce this Xuehu is."

Yexi: ...

The maid had no choice but to hand the cage to the emperor, only to see that the rats, which had been jumping up and down just now, could not survive for a moment, as soon as they got into the hands of the emperor, they immediately became like quails, daring not to move.

The maid looked surprised, and blurted out beautiful words, "When these little things saw Your Majesty, they were overwhelmed by your true dragon spirit."

Gu Linghan's face froze, disdain in his heart, what's so good about the real dragon's spirit, those horned worms.

But he was in a good mood today, so he didn't care too much.

Now that he has taken Ye Xi's dinner, there is no need to serve another mortal meal.

Gu Linghan said casually, "Tonight, Yelan Palace doesn't need to deliver meals." He glanced at the Chinchilla in the cage, and said with a smile, "Concubine Ye, it's enough for me to feed him!"

The maid's eyes widened immediately upon hearing the words, and then she blushed, lowered her head, and replied in a low voice, "...Yes."

Eunuch Qian raised his eyebrows when he heard the words. He understood the ambiguity in Gu Linghan's words just now, and also understood why the little palace lady was blushing, so he endured the pain with a smile on the sidelines.

But Gu Linghan and Ye Xi didn't understand these things, so Gu Linghan shook the cage in his hand, smiled and said to Ye Xi, "Come on, Concubine Ye, follow me quickly."

Hearing this, Ye Xi immediately rushed to the emperor like a bolt of lightning, as if she was about to jump into his arms, and the two of them entered the hall after arguing.

Eunuch Qian withdrew after seeing off His Majesty the Emperor. Before leaving, he glanced at the little maid waiting at the door.

The little palace maid didn't see him, she covered her still red face with her hands, and muttered in a low voice, "Your Majesty and Concubine Ye have such a good relationship, Concubine Ye has been away from the palace for many days, and now when she comes back, Your Majesty will be so close." In such a hurry, I don't even let my mother eat the rice."

Eunuch Qian, who knew the truth, couldn't hold back his laughter in the end.

In the night palace.

Gu Linghan opened the door of the golden cage in his hand, and the group of mice immediately fled in all directions like an ebb tide, only to see Ye Xi, who was staring at him eagerly, instantly turned into a snow swan, running towards that place vigorously. Chasing after the prey, the technique of catching the prey is very neat, one catches one accurately.

The concubine Ye, who is usually the most fearful of people, only cares about nothing when she is chasing prey.

Gu Linghan watched it with relish for a while, then walked to the bed and bent down.

He groped for a mechanism on the carved wooden railing beside the bed, and flicked his fingers upwards.

In an instant, a gap slowly opened in the middle of the bed, and that gap slowly opened, revealing the secret hidden underneath.

Under the bed is a very spacious hollowed-out space, and there is a jade egg bed carved in the shape of a lotus flower, on which ninety-nine and 81 grooves are dug out very regularly for placing unhatched eggs.

It is slightly lower in the middle and slightly higher around, which is not only convenient for placement, but also convenient for every egg to evenly touch the spiritual power of the innate spiritual fire on Gu Linghan's body when hatching.

When Gu Linghan's slender fingers closed, he snapped his fingers, and a jumping white flame instantly ignited on his jade-like transparent fingertips—this was the only innate spiritual fire in the world, Suzaku.

He put his burning fingertips close to the egg bed under the bed, and the firelight reflected the densely packed ancient runes engraved on the jade—these were the absorption formations he had personally drawn, and most of his exhausted spiritual power was Passed over to these little guys who haven't seen this world yet.

The white light shining from the flames easily penetrated the milky white eggshell, and the eggshell became as transparent as jade. In the small world under the shell, the young chicks have not yet fully formed, and the densely covered tiny meridians under the eggshell are also clearly visible.

Gu Linghan held his breath a little nervously, for fear of disturbing these little guys.

At this time, Ye Xi, who was full and full of food and drink, also came over tremblingly, and looked at these little guys who were about to be born together with him.

"If nothing else happens, within half a month, these little guys will break out of their shells and be sent to the brooding garden."

Ye Xi stared at these little things without blinking, and nodded expressionlessly despite being delighted.

Gu Linghan lifted his robe and sat with his eyes closed. His whole body was suspended above the rosette. The spiritual power in his body was mobilized by him, and gradually overflowed from his whole body in an orderly manner.

The formation began to operate, and the spiritual energy enveloped the entire egg bed. Every egg was nourished by the abundant spiritual power, which was absorbed, transformed, and grown crazily, and the chicks gradually took shape.

Although Gu Linghan was very dissatisfied with his busy life without freedom, every time he saw these little creatures, he no longer felt boring and boring.

Before you know it, midnight has come, the bright moon hangs high, the moonlight shines through the window lattice, and the ground is bright.

At night, the flapping sound of the snow swan's wings gradually disappeared, and when Gu Linghan opened his eyes again, there was nothing in front of him, like a dream deep in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Gu Linghan frowned, did he actually fall asleep?

He was about to raise his eyes to look at this place, but found that there was a person watching him quietly in front of him.

The man looked tall and tall, wearing a black robe without decoration, his face could not be seen clearly, only a pair of dark and deep eyes like thick ink could be seen.

Those eyes locked his gaze tightly, and seemed to reveal some obscure emotions, which made Gu Linghan's heart beat a little faster.

The two stood silently for a long time, and for a while, neither of them spoke.

Gu Linghan thought, whoever the shy person in front of him who dared not show his face, since it was his dream, he should be at home.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard the man in black ask, "Do you still remember losing something you loved?"

The voice sounded muffled, and I don't know where it came from.

Gu Linghan was taken aback when he heard the words, maybe the question was too sudden and the content was beyond his expectation, he actually started to think along the other side's words.

He has lived for too long, has met too much in the endless years, and has forgotten too much.The past is as vast as smoke, and it is impossible to recall the details.

Gu Linghan thought for a long time, but found that his thoughts were in a mess, as if something flashed by but he was not caught.He was restless, and suddenly thought why he had to follow the words of the man in black?

So he no longer recalled it, but took it for granted, "Since it is a beloved thing, how could it be lost?"

The black-robed man seemed startled when he heard the words, he nodded slowly.The eyes looking at him flickered slightly, and there seemed to be some fragments of light spreading from the bottom of the eyes.

This made Gu Linghan feel guilty for no reason, and just as he was about to take a closer look, he saw that the figure of the man had slowly dissipated.

Gu Linghan opened his eyes and found that he was still in Yelan Palace. He let out a breath, calmed down his somewhat turbulent mind, and wondered how he could dream of such a far-fetched thing.

Then he was relieved that there was no reason for the dream.
