"Out of the palace? What tricks does this little girl want to play now? " A deep male voice came from behind the screen.

"Ling'er might not know, but it's possible that she feels that the palace is too stuffy. Moreover, it's not suitable for her to be pampered by the crown prince." Ling'er reported the current situation expressionlessly.

"What did the doctor say about her injury?" The man spoke as if he understood the small situation very well.

"The Imperial Physician said that as long as you don't touch the wound again, you'll be able to recover in a few days." Ling'er truthfully reported, guessing his identity yet again in her heart.

"Yes!" The man nodded and didn't say anything else.

Hearing this reply, Ling'er felt that something was amiss. She then asked, "Master, do you want to get rid of that little girl outside the palace?"

"You think too much. She still has some value. I'll get someone to protect your safety. In the past few days, you have to keep an eye on her and not let her cause too much trouble. " The man spoke again.

"Yes sir!" Ling'er replied.

The man behind the screen suddenly said, "Don't tell me you were moved by her kindness and forgot your identity!"

"Ling'er doesn't dare!" "Ling'er doesn't dare!" When Ling'er heard this, her expression greatly changed and she fell to her knees.

"It's good that you don't dare. If you dare to have second thoughts, you might even be worried about your little brother's life!" The man's tone was angry as he snorted.

Ling'er heard the sound of footsteps as she left, and sat down on the ground powerlessly. Tears flowed from his eyes as he crawled painfully on the ground and cried.

Ling'er heard the sound of footsteps as she left, and sat down on the ground powerlessly. Tears flowed from his eyes as he crawled painfully on the ground and cried.

However, tears were not the best medicine to heal a wound, much less to save her life. It had no other use than to vent. This was the only life she had, the life of a servant, the life of a slave. It was like this for an hour, too big to escape that terrible shadow.

Nothing could change her mind. Everything was just the beginning. She didn't even dare to imagine what would happen next.

As the rain continued to fall, she rose feebly to her feet, wiped the tears from her face, and stumbled out of the pavilion. The rain fell in disorder, wetting her long hair, wetting her clothes, wetting her heart that had been knocked down so hard that it couldn't heal. There was a sharp pain in her chest, and she couldn't tell the difference between rain and tears. Instinctively, she couldn't see the end of the road in front of her.

After a short journey, she had walked for more than an hour to return to her small courtyard. Before she could walk towards the front room, she fell to the ground with a tumble.

Reaching out her hand, she opened her mouth to shout, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something. After crawling on the ground for a while, she finally couldn't take the pain from her chest and fainted.

The rain continued to fall, thunder and lightning mixed within, bringing forth violent winds and torrential rain. At midnight, it finally stopped. Rain dripped under the eaves. The flowers that had been favored by the rain were already on their last breaths. The fallen leaves scattered on the ground, causing the originally clean yard to become a lot more messy.

Inside the house, she was tossing and turning in her bed, and in her dreams, she was running and shouting and searching in the dark for the path to the light. Waving her hands and twisting her head, she made a big movement and turned her head. When she touched the scar on her head, she woke up from the pain.

He sat up and touched his back. He was completely drenched.

Her clothes stuck to her back and she felt her skin itch. She had not bathed for two days, she thought, fearing the wound would get wet.

Heavens!

Why did he have that nightmare again?

Every time, she would never be able to see that woman's appearance. Every time she heard the heart-wrenching cry in her dreams, there was a slaughter going on behind her. The bloody scenes played back and forth, and then she would run with all her might. She couldn't see the dark road in front of her, and her heart would beat uncontrollably.

Also, the rouge flower birthmark on his body appeared again and again, what exactly was he trying to prove?

Closing her eyes, she covered her head in pain. As she supported herself with her hands, her messy thoughts couldn't find the end. She couldn't even see the end, she could only feel that she was walking towards the road of fear.

Breathing heavily, she slowly raised her head. When he opened his eyes, the room was dark and the door was ajar. A cool breeze blew in from outside the window. The night sky that had just been raining was clean. The moon was not visible in the sky, but it was very bright.

"Ling'er, where are you Ling'er?" She sat on the bed and shouted helplessly, but there was no response.

Strange?

Where did Ling'er go?

It didn't make sense. Since he was already injured to such an extent, this girl should be waiting on the side for him.

Holding the bed, she got off. He put on his lovely shoes and walked slowly to the door. Pushing the door open, she strode out.

The air was comfortable after the rain. A gust of fresh air assaulted his face. She took a deep breath and became very sober.

So many things had happened today that Ling'er was probably very tired. She might have really gone back to rest. Forget it, I better not look for her and let her sleep well. I don't know what will happen tomorrow.

As she gazed at the flowers in the courtyard, many of the rouge flowers were completely disfigured by the rain. Even her favorite plants were swaying back and forth in the rain. She was afraid that she would not be able to live.

Feeling the pain in her heart, she approached the flower bed, squatted down, and picked up a rouge flower. She placed it on her nose and inhaled the fragrance. That familiar feeling suddenly caused her eyes to moisten.

In his mind, he suddenly saw the image of Madam Ping. She waved her hand and a benevolent smile appeared on her pale face. However, after his smile, his face was filled with fear. The bony face with its prominent cheekbones and tight skin looked terrible.

No! No!

With a heart-wrenching yell at the sky, she stood up, tightly grabbing onto rouge and frantically running through the rain in the direction of the rouge hall.

At the door of the rouge hall where it had rained, the large characters on the lintel had been washed very cleanly. Even the part where the paint had fallen off the door could be seen very clearly. The door emitted a clanging sound as the wind blew, outlining a gloomy and terrifying aura.

Before even entering the door, Xiaoxiao already felt that something was wrong. With one hand, he tightly held onto the rouge flower that had been smashed in half by the rain, while with the other, he gently pushed open the half-closed door.

In the courtyard, it was completely silent. In the clean courtyard, one could clearly hear the sound of the wind. The wind sounded like it was crying, and the sound seeped into her ears, making her shiver.

"Mother!" Where was his mother? I've come to see you. " Little Jun shouted out loud and ran on the dark long corridor, looking at the empty courtyard.

There was no reply, no sound of her voice. Because, she still hadn't sensed the appearance of Madam Ping and hadn't smelled that aura.

After passing by several familiar small courtyards, she arrived at the courtyard that Pingfei lived in. The yard was littered with fallen leaves. It was yellow in color and messy. It did not look like it had been formed naturally.

Could it be that all the leaves in the front yard were thrown here? Some kind of expert had appeared, causing all of the fallen leaves to fall.

Raising his head, he saw that the trees in the courtyard had become bald. Strangely, the leaves on the right side of the trees were still thick and dense. She frowned and worked up the courage to enter the room.

Inside the house, everything was placed as usual. The quilt on the bed was neatly folded, and there was an unfinished pillow towel placed on top of the bed.

No one?

It had rained in the middle of the night. Where had a woman like her, who could fight back, gone to?

She lowered her head to look at the rouge flower in her hand, doubt surfacing on her face. Suddenly, she felt a kind of power standing behind her.

Ghost?

Was there really a ghost here?

Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she did not dare to move her body. She felt that the power behind her was like an aura from hell. It was ice-cold, bone-piercing, and extremely sinister.

"You … "Who are you? Come out! If you have the ability, come out!" Closing her eyes, she cried out, letting her voice drive away the fear in her heart.

The force was still shaking, swaying left and right, shaking her to the point of trembling. Finally, she rushed out of the house, not caring about whether she lived or died.

However, when she rushed out of the room, the door to Pingfei's room slammed shut.

A cold wind blew, and the leaves on the right tree began to fall slowly, piece by piece, onto the ground and onto the tiny body. A strange smell seeped into the air, and he realized that his body had undergone a strange change.

Pound!

The gate of the yard was suddenly closed. The sound was so loud that even the ground shook a little.

There was no moon in the sky, only a few stars. Even though the yard was not lit up by lanterns, he could still see the surroundings clearly. However, she was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery at such an unorthodox moment.

"Mother!" Come out quickly, you're about to lose your little soul. " There was nothing she could do other than shout.

However, in the silent courtyard, only the echoes of her shouts could be heard. Pingfei's reply still wasn't heard. What made her even more terrified was that the force behind her had appeared again. In addition, that sinister aura was even closer than before, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Dong, dong, dong! Dong, dong, dong!

Before she could regain her wits, there was another hurried knock on the door. Then she heard a familiar voice. "Is Esteemed Pingfei inside?"

It was Eunuch Lin who stood by the emperor's side. Sure enough, she raised her voice to scream for help. However, when the voice spoke, it sounded as if it was blocked by something. It made a rattle, and the words were all swallowed.

Afraid, she dashed towards the main door, and just as she was about to reach the entrance, she stomped her feet with a 'bang'! She crawled on the ground, in so much pain that she couldn't get up for a long time.

"If Esteemed Pingfei is inside, just say so. It's raining so heavily tonight, so the emperor isn't worried about letting this servant come over to take a look." Eunuch Lin shouted with all his might. He pressed his ear against the door and listened carefully to the sounds coming from inside.

Bang bang bang!

Xiaoxiao struggled anxiously on the ground, but her legs and legs were unable to obey her orders. Furthermore, she felt completely powerless. He wanted to agree, but no sound came out.

Dong, dong, dong! Dong, dong, dong!

Upon hearing the sound of knocking on the ground, Eunuch Lin knocked on the door again. Attach the ear, hoping to hear the response from inside this time.

Woo woo … * He was so unlucky that he was about to die. At this moment, Xiaoxiao really wanted to cry. If he had some peerless martial arts, he would have already jumped out and crawled on the ground in a sorry state.

Lying on the ground in a panic, she looked at the vibrating door, her face full of anxiety, using all her strength to climb towards the door with all her might.
