The nine princesses of the East Palace

This time it snowed for several days in a row, it was freezing cold, people were frozen to death on the streets, and many places were hit by snowstorms.

The emperor finally remembered Li Chengyin who was still working on the book, and asked him to organize people to help the disaster. Because of the severity of the disaster, Li Chengyin led the people out of the palace after receiving the order. It was two days after I learned about it , I got it from Pei Zhao, even Shi En didn't know.

Li Chengyin went there for ten days, and the snow in Shangjing stopped for three to five days, but he has not returned, and there is no news.

No one around me sarcasm or make fun of me. I thought it was quite comfortable at first, but he was gone for too long, and I was not used to it.I would miss him during the day, and sometimes dream of him at night, dreaming of him bloody several times, and would always wake up in the middle of the night with fright.

Today, I had a nightmare again, dreaming that Li Chengyin was pierced through the shoulder by a sword in order to save me... That dream was very real, half of his body in the dream was covered in blood, he was still clutching the bleeding wound, asking Me: "Are you hurt..." I seemed to be able to smell the strong smell of blood and touch his sticky blood... I woke up before I could shake my head.

When I woke up, my head and body were covered in cold sweat, as if I couldn't breathe.I got up and opened the window to breathe, only to find a man in white standing on the tree in front of me.

"Come on! There are assassins!" I subconsciously shouted.

It's dead of night now, my voice is loud, and I called many guards all at once.

"Ninth princess, don't panic, I will be able to protect the princess well." The leading guard said.

"Then grab him quickly, he's on that tree." I pointed to a tree in front of me, "Hey, where is he? He was here just now."

The tree was dark, and there were no figures there.

The guard clasped his fists and said: "Probably ran away, let me search and search, and I will definitely be able to take him down."

I took one more look at the tree and nodded.

Yong Niang was also alarmed, and entered my bedroom without her coat on, "Princess, please give me the death penalty!" She knelt down to me as soon as she came in. I was not frightened by the assassin, but I was frightened by her .

"Yong Niang, this has nothing to do with you. What are you doing kneeling?" I quickly went to help her. Although she was a bit talkative on weekdays, no matter what she did, it was for my own good. Now that the weather is so cold, If she kneels like this, what if something goes wrong with her body?

"It's because the servant girl didn't accompany the princess, which made the princess agitated..."

"Yong Niang, I'm fine, the assassin didn't have time to hurt me, and I discovered it."

Yong Niang looked at me carefully by the weak candlelight, and she stood up after making sure that I was fine.

The guards searched for about two quarters of an hour, but they couldn't find the assassin. When they searched, I was sitting on the couch with Xiaoxue in my arms, and Aba Axia was grinding his teeth in the corner, making creaking noises.

"Xiaoxue, tell me, Li Chengyin, is he alright? Will he get hurt?" Xiaoxue's body is fluffy, I muttered to myself while stroking.

Xiaoxue didn't know whether she understood my words or not, so she arched my hand with her body and meowed twice.

"You said, I'll go find him, okay? I'm bored in the palace." I said again.

I'm really bored, although I go to the library every day to repair books, and I know more and more characters, even the emperor and the empress dowager praised me a few times, but I just feel that something is missing.

I told the Empress Dowager that I wanted to go out of the palace to help the disaster, but she didn't agree, saying that I am the first princess of Xizhou, and I am here to make a marriage.

After Xiaoxue grabbed my hand with her claws, there was no movement.It's lazy, it likes to sleep during the day, and it also likes to sleep at night, alas, no one can give me an idea.

The guards who searched couldn't find anyone in the end, so the assassin probably ran away.

I put Xiaoxue down, and suddenly saw a white shadow swaying in front of the window. I was about to shout, but someone tapped me. Not only could I not move, I couldn't even speak, only my eyeballs could move.

"Xiaofeng, it's me."

It was... Master's voice.

Sure enough, it was Master, after he finished speaking, he unlocked my acupoints and stood in front of me.

"Master, why are you here?" I haven't seen him for a long time, and I was quite surprised to see him suddenly. However, why did he break into my bedroom in the middle of the night? If someone finds out, the consequences will be very serious.

Master looked at me and said after a while: "I'll take you home."

"Go home? Master, are you confused? I'm the concubine princess of Xizhou. If I leave with you, my dad and I will be in trouble..."

The master said: "You go with me first, and we will find a way."

"But I don't want to go with you," I said.

How could I go with him, I'm gone, what should Li Chengyin do?With such a bad temper, he will definitely lose his temper. Moreover, I have promised him that I will never leave him. A man cannot break his word.

Now, I miss him very much before I leave. If I never see him again, I will not be happy in the future.

Master looked at me in surprise, with a serious expression on his face, "If you don't leave now, when Li Chengyin returns to the palace, you won't be able to leave."

I was silent for a long time before I asked: "But when will he return to the palace? Master, do you know where he is?"

Master didn't speak.

"I can't find him." I whispered.The time for the canonization ceremony has been set, and it will be after July 49th. If he doesn't come back by then, what should I do?

Master's complexion is very bad, why does he dislike Li Chengyin so much?

"You... want to see him that much?" Master asked suddenly.

I nodded.

The master hesitated for a moment, and said: "I will take you to find him, you follow me now."

I thought, Master is so good at martial arts, he will definitely lead me to find Li Chengyin, so I agreed to go with him.

Master's martial arts is so strong that he took me out of the palace without disturbing the guards.

When I was in the palace, I was afraid of being found out, so I didn't dare to say a word, now that I'm out, I can finally talk, I immediately asked: "Master, where is Li Chengyin? Is it far away?"

The master didn't answer, just said: "Are you cold? Let's find a place to stay overnight."

I saw that it was pitch black everywhere, so dark that I couldn't see the road, and I really should rest for a night before leaving, so I nodded.

The master said: "It's not good to live in a hotel. If the people in the palace find you missing, they will search the city. Let's find a ruined temple to escape the cold."

I followed Master, and soon found a ruined temple. Master lit a fire, and the fire illuminated the surrounding area.

I leaned against the rafters of the ruined temple, stretching out my hands to warm the fire.

"Why don't you talk? Don't you talk a lot on weekdays?" Master sat down beside him and asked aloud.

So I asked: "Where did Master go these days? Why did you come to the Central Plains?"

"I went to the top of the South China Sea."

"It must be very far away?" I have never heard of this place.

"It's a long way away," said the master. "I was desperately traveling, and finally made it back at this time. Fortunately, it's not too late."

Is it too late?I didn't understand, but I didn't ask carefully.

The author has something to say: Gu Jianjian: After waiting for a long time, I finally have my role.
