The Fourth Prince Palace was especially quiet when night fell. Under the moonlight that was as cold as water, a slender black shadow stood at the eaves of the house. There was no sound, only the faint sound of a flute playing in the night breeze.
Jian Qiuying silently put down the jade flute in his hand, and he looked towards the courtyard not far away with a complicated expression. After a few months of continuous searching, he finally found the location of Yue Hua. He originally wanted to bring her away, but after a few days of observation, Xiao Yue seemed to have changed.
Yue Hua sighed lightly. Right now, she was hiding beside Fourth Prince and was acting as a servant. This was a great opportunity to assassinate her, so no matter what, he had to believe in her!
"Since I failed the last mission, I can atone for it this time." In any case, she is always my dearest sister. " With that, the man lightly leapt up and disappeared into the silent night.
It was that dream again, that pitch-black palace, that gorgeous red, that ice-cold air, that miserable howl, that breath that seemed to carry a thick stench of blood. Xiao Sui suddenly woke up from his dream, opened his bloodshot eyes, and blankly sat on the bed, beginning to think about life.
"Am I dreaming? Why do I keep having the same dream these past few days?" He crawled down from the bed and poured a cup of cold water. Xiao Sui stroked his forehead, which started to ache again.
It seemed like he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. Thinking about that strange dream, "I seem to have been there, where is there?" Clutching his head which was starting to buzz again, Xiao Sui muttered to himself.
In the early morning of the next day, with two gigantic panda eyes, Xiao Sui struggled to crawl up from the ground and waited for Fourth Prince to get dressed and clean up. Other than Xiao Sui, he did not allow anyone else to get close to him. In my opinion, it's not a germaphobe, it's a rich disease! Xiao Sui secretly cursed.
He frowned as he looked at the two pairs of eyes in front of him that were comparable to that of a panda's. "You didn't sleep well last night, did you cheat?"
You're the one who's cheating, your whole family is cheating, and besides, I'm not a cat, why should I be cheating?! "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. It's just that I can't sleep at night, it's not a big problem."
"I'll call the steward to go to the pharmacy and get you some tranquilizer." Xiao Sui felt a wave of emotions. Did Fourth Prince finally understand how to care for this maid who was sharing in hardships with him? Shi Jinchen continued, "With such a listless appearance, how can you serve me well? "Just looking at them makes me feel extremely uncomfortable."
"…" The Xiao Sui was speechless, being gentle and considerate and so on, it was indeed an illusion.
They busily busied themselves, disoriented, and finally satisfied with this lord's service. Ignoring the mockery and ridicule behind them, Xiao Sui dragged his exhausted body back to his own room. As he passed by a rock garden, he felt a strange sense of familiarity. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the fake mountain was a little strange. Seeing that there was no one around, he easily moved behind the fake mountain, but aside from the trembling branch in the wind, there was nothing in front of him.
"Eh, is there no one here?" Xiao Sui scratched his head in confusion.
On a tree not far away, Jian Qiuying looked at Xiao Sui with lingering fear, "Xiao Yue's perception is still so outstanding, I was almost discovered by her." However, after a while, her Jian Qiuying seemed to have caused her to frown. It seemed that she hadn't been sleeping well for the past few days … Deep exhaustion was revealed within the eyes of the girl beneath the tree that were like limpid autumn water.
Puzzled, Jian Qiuying gently caressed the jade flute tied around her waist, "This Fourth Prince dared to make Yue Hua so haggard. If Yue Hua wasn't used to doing everything herself, I wouldn't mind helping her solve this problem."
The dark night was as thick as ink and was unable to be unraveled. After finishing his day of washing his Xiao Sui and rinsing his mouth, just as he was about to go back to his room to rest, he suddenly felt that someone had been secretly watching her.
"It's over, it's over. Don't tell me that I was infected by this Fourth Prince and also suffered from the illusion of being harmed?" Lying on the bed, Xiao Sui wanted to cry but had no tears, "Insomnia and delusions of being killed, why am I so unlucky, when will these kinds of days end? At this rate, sooner or later, my pretty girl will become an old woman. "
Lying on the bed, he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Xiao Sui simply pushed open the window, and the quiet moon outside and the sound of the frogs singing in the cold wind caused one's emotions to become inexplicably peaceful. Such a good moon, however, made one unable to fall asleep no matter what.
As he said, he carefully closed the window and lightly jumped onto the roof's eaves. Xiao Sui was like a nimble cat staring into the distance with its large, almond-shaped eyes.
"Eh?" A faintly discernible flute sound came from the gentle breeze as Xiao Sui suspiciously followed the flute sound. In the silence of the night, a black figure swiftly swept past the eaves of the distant house. If it wasn't for his good night vision, she would have thought that she was hallucinating again.
A strange man in black? Crouching on the rafters in the middle of the night, was she like me, coming out to relax? The answer, of course, was no. I was talking about this Fourth Prince Palace, could it be some sort of gold and silver treasure ground?
Even though he thought this in his heart, his Xiao Sui still carefully followed behind him. However, after following him for a few alleys, that black-clothed man suddenly disappeared at the next corner. It was just that miraculous, that he disappeared into thin air in front of his Xiao Sui.
"Heavens, even a little thief is this powerful now?" My Qing Gong is so good, pah, even my motor cells can't keep up with an ordinary little thief? This was not scientific!
No, this isn't right. This is definitely not an ordinary little thief. Maybe he is the killer the crown prince hired to monitor the fourth prince." "AHH!" "The mysterious Shi Jinhan, who had taken the rap for no apparent reason, sneezed fiercely on his bed.
After returning to his room, he put on his clothes and went back to bed. He had thought that he would once again dream about those bad things, but who knew that tonight, he would sleep exceptionally well. The melodious flute melody that came from the cool night breeze made him feel as if he had heard it somewhere before. The cute girl on the bed started to mutter as she gradually fell into a deep, sweet slumber.
On the roof, seeing that Xiao Yue had safely fallen asleep, the Jian Qiuying stopped playing with the flute, "Yue Hua."
In the following few days, it was very ordinary. Even though his line of sight was still fixed on her occasionally, fortunately, it was not malicious and the ambitious Xiao Sui quickly threw this matter to the back of his mind. He did whatever he had to do and he was quite happy.
