Jun Linghuan was taken aback: "Huh?"
She didn't know why Xue Yan suddenly asked this. Want it? She didn't even think about it. She just regarded the stars in the sky, looked at them a lot, and kept them in her mind, but she never thought of taking them off.
But I heard Xue Yan say: "If you want, I will pick it for you."
So high! Still on a lake, how can you pick it off
Jun Linghuan asked in a daze: "How do you pick this..."
Xue Yan glanced at her.
Although this was Jun Huailang's sister, he didn't have much patience and explained a lot to a child. He saw that the little girl's eyes were full of love, so it was a very simple matter, and there was no need to elaborate.
Xue Yan glanced at it, the path leading to the lake was full of branches, and if he was not careful, he would stab children. In addition to the danger by the lake, I have to keep an eye on her and not let her fall.
"Wait there," he said.
"Yeah!" Jun Linghuan nodded obediently.
Seeing that there was no one around, but the lights were bright, Xue Yan responded and turned to the lake.
And just as he was walking away, the second prince, Xue Yunsu, happened to pass by here with a few chattering sons, and they were going to enjoy the scenery in the Imperial Garden.
In the distance, Xue Yunsu saw Jun Linghuan standing by the roadside alone, looking into the plum blossom forest.
He made a gesture and asked the surrounding sons and brothers to be quieter.
Then, they walked in front of Jun Linghuan: "Hey, isn't this sister Linghuan?"
Jun Enze was on the side, and he also pretended to say: "Where's your brother? Why do you let you stand here alone?"
Jun Linghuan said honestly, "It was the fifth prince who asked me to wait for him here."
Hearing this, the expressions of several people changed. Several people looked at each other and looked a little weird.
Xue Yunsu suddenly thought of that day, Jun Linghuan actually made a special trip and gave Xue Yan a lot of lychees.
"You still call him brother?" Xue Yunsu asked with a weird smile, his teeth sore.
"Eh?" Jun Linghuan didn't understand.
Xue Yunsu continued: "Don't you know? He is a monster and can eat people."
Then, he squatted down, smiled weirdly, and frightened her: "Don't know? Your brother doesn't know either. He is a wolf demon, pretending to be a human, just to find a chance to eat you all, Improve his cultivation."
Several young masters showed interest in seeing Jun Linghuan's hesitant and fearful appearance. One of them also smiled and said, "He asked you to wait for him here, just to wait for midnight. The wolf demons eat children at midnight."
Jun Linghuan stammered and said, "But... Brother Fifth Prince is a good person..."
Xue Yunsu snorted, and simply stood up, pulled her wrist, and half-dragged: "You don't believe it? You can't stay here for long. You stay with us, and I'll tell you slowly."
Jun Linghuan looked up at a loss and looked at Jun Enze, the only person in the crowd who he knew.
This brother lives in his own house, and he greets him with a smile on weekdays, and is very kind.
But he saw Jun Enze laughing: "Come with us, Ling Huan, what are you afraid of following your brother? It's better than that evil star whose origin is unknown."
Jun Linghuan was skeptical, but the six-year-old little brain could no longer handle such complicated information.
—
The gate of the cold palace was closed and not locked.
After all, only Zhang Guiren has been in the cold palace in this dynasty, and he was released within two years. Now it has been uninhabited for more than ten years, no one has repaired it, and no one has taken care of it.
A team of well-trained Jin Wuwei pushed open the door and entered the cold palace to start looking for people. This cold palace covers a large area. The former emperor who built this palace was uneasy in the harem. When he died, there were nearly ten concubines living in the cold palace.
A group of Jinwuwei spread out in the cold palace.
"Where are we going to look?" As soon as he came in, Xue Yunhuan was frozen by the oncoming wind. The cold palace is shaded, and there is no burning of the dragons. Weeds are growing in the courtyard, and the snow has not been cleaned up at all.
Jun Huailang lowered his head and searched the ground.
Few people come here, and there should be no footprints on the ground. Although the snow has melted and froze again, it is very hard, but if someone comes, there will always be some traces left.
When Jun Xiaowu saw his actions, he knew what he was going to do. This team of guards does not have a leader, so when they come, they will be ordered to search directly, but they have no clue and will waste a lot of time.
He took a lamp and lit it carefully on the ground.
Jun Xiaowu spent two years at Yumen Pass in the northwest, and he was much better at this kind of thing than Jun Huailang, who grew up in Beijing. After a while, he found a hidden footprint, and immediately pointed it to Jun Huailang: "Brother, look here!"
Jun Huailang looked over, but couldn't see clearly. Jun Xiaowu explained: "It's a new footprint, going to the corner tower on the northeast side."
Jun Huailang hurriedly walked towards the corner tower in the direction he pointed.
Xue Yunhuan looked in this direction and murmured, "No way..."
He grew up in the deep palace, and knew the secrets of the palace best. I heard that in the previous dynasty, a palace concubine could not bear the desolation of the cold palace, and hanged herself in the corner tower on the northeast side. After that, only the palace servants went to collect the corpse in a hurry, and Bai Ling was still hanging there and never took it down.
The three hurried to the corner tower.
This turret is old, and the doors are covered with a layer of floating soil. But as soon as the lantern was lit, they saw that the floating soil on the door clearly had fingerprints.
Jun Huailang hurriedly pushed the door open and stepped inside.
"Ling Huan?" he called out loudly.
He called up several times in a row, and then he heard a rustling sound, like the movement of a kitten. Jun Huailang was startled, and quickly led the two of them up the narrow, dark and damp stairs, and up two floors, only to hear a small whimper from the top floor.
It is Jun Linghuan.
Jun Huailang's heart clenched together. He took three steps and two steps, and quickly went up to the top floor of the turret.
Under the broken window, the moonlight shines brightly. Jun Linghuan was covered in dust, curled up under the bright light, sobbing sobbing.
Jun Huailang stepped forward in two steps and hugged her.
"Huan'er? It's alright, my brother is here." As soon as he held it in his arms, he felt a chill in his arms. She must have been frozen here for a long time, her hands and cheeks were red.
Seeing him coming, Jun Linghuan came back to his senses, buried his face in his arms, and finally dared to cry.
But she was still speechless and only whimpered, crying so much that Jun Huailang's heart trembled. At the same time, the nerves in Jun Huailang's forehead jumped, and a strange pain appeared.
He had no choice but to follow Jun Linghuan's back and comforted softly, "Okay, it's alright."
Behind him, Jun Xiaowu stepped forward, took off his heavy cloak, and wrapped the little girl in Jun Huailang's arms tightly.
"Go back first, brother," he said. "It's too cold here."
Then, Jun Xiaowu took the little girl wrapped in the cape out of Jun Huailang's arms and comforted him: "It's alright, brother. I'm strong, I'll hold Huan'er."
Jun Huailang was still squatting in the same place, looking up at Jun Xiaowu's sister in his arms.
His eyes were a little straight, and the pain in his brain was stronger for a while, causing his eyes to bloom, and he couldn't think clearly for a while.
As if something had been rooted in his mind, struggling to break out of the ground.
Next to him, Xue Yunhuan saw his abnormality and thought he was too distressed, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. Before leaving, he didn't forget to look at the beam with trepidation and trepidation, but he didn't expect that there was actually a broken white silk damask hanging, stained and pulling silk.
Xue Yunhuan shivered with fright.
Jun Xiaowu walked in front, and the two of them followed, walking out of the clammy and cold turret.
The eldest lady of the Jun family finally found it. Jin Wuwei in the cold palace quickly brought the news to the emperor, and the busy harem finally calmed down.
Then, it's time to start a teacher and ask for guilt.
The three of them took Jun Linghuan and returned to the Yongle Hall under the escort of a group of Jinwuwei. It was a shame to lose someone in the palace, so the emperor asked Lingfu to spread the news that Jun Linghuan had found to the ministers, so that they could continue the banquet with peace of mind, and then ordered them to the apse.
In the apse sat the emperor and a group of concubines, as well as Duke Yongning and his wife who were anxiously waiting beside them. Xue Yan knelt down alone under the steps, and no one spoke.
Seeing that Jun Linghuan was found, both of them were relieved. But seeing Jun Ling Huan shrinking into a ball again, Mrs. Shen shi suddenly burst into tears.
The queen instructed from the side: "Go to Xuan imperial doctor. It's as cold and cold as the cold palace, don't let the child get sick from the cold."
The emperor looked at Jun Huailang and the others and asked, "Can we find out the reason? How could such a young child go to the cold palace alone?"
Jun Xiaowu glanced at Jun Huailang. Seeing that his face was pale, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and he looked like he was still out of the situation, he quickly replied for him: "Report to Your Majesty, I haven't asked the reason yet."
Emperor Qingping frowned and looked at Jun Linghuan: "Linghuan?"
He was thinking about how to ask questions gently, but when he saw Jun Linghuan being called by him, he raised his head sobbing, and then suddenly saw Xue Yan who was kneeling three steps away.
Jun Linghuan's pupils shrank suddenly, his whole body trembled, he didn't even dare to let out a whimper, he just looked at him in horror.
Suddenly, the expressions of everyone in the apse changed.
"Xue Yan, is that you?" Emperor Qingping slapped the armrest and said angrily.
Jun Huailang's forehead was already aching, but with Emperor Qingping's rebuke, the pain suddenly became a little more intense.
He wanted to raise his hand to comfort Jun Linghuan, but his hand trembled and couldn't lift it.
Over there, Xue Yunhuan and Jun Xiaowu both showed anger and looked at Xue Yan. Xue Yan knelt on the spot, with his eyes down, his face expressionless, and there was no explanation.
Emperor Qingping was so angry that his back was shaking.
This pervert! From the moment of birth, that is, the death of the star, the only thing that has brought him for more than ten years is endless trouble. Up to now, it has cultivated such bad virtues and disgusting characters.
Just a disgrace to him.
"Come here, drag Xue Yan down! Put him on the stick for 30 times, put him in the Buddhist hall to think about it, and don't let me see him again!"
Immediately, Jin Wuwei stepped forward to carry out his order.
And Xue Yan still didn't say a word, but when he got up, he glanced at Jun Huailang.
Jun Huailang raised his eyes in dizziness and pain, and met a pair of amber eyes.
Bottomless amber color.
Immediately, the unbearable pain in Jun Huailang's mind disappeared, and it became an unprecedented clarity. A large segment of unfamiliar and familiar memories flashed like a revolving lantern and entered his mind without any disobedience.
He finally recalled all of the nightmares that had tormented him these days with unparalleled clarity, repeating each night.
He also found out where the boundless coldness and loneliness in the nightmare came from.
