Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

"Little girl, you haven't slept yet?"

After Jia Hong finished reviewing the last memorial and just stood up, he saw a girl sitting at the table, supporting her little face with one hand, nodding from time to time, then opening her eyes to look at him, and then seemed to fall asleep again accidentally. He felt a little funny.

"uncle!"

As if she heard Jia Hong talking, the little girl opened her hazy eyes, then rubbed them twice, trying to make herself more alert. Unfortunately, the effect was not very good because she was too sleepy.

So she put her hands behind her back and pinched her thigh hard. Maybe she pinched too hard, and her sleepiness disappeared, but her eyes immediately became tearful.

"Ha ha!!"

Seeing the little girl so interesting, Jia Hong reached out and rubbed her little head. After thinking for a while, he picked up the little thing by the waist.

"Xiangling, it's getting late. I'm not going anywhere today. You have to help warm the bed for me."

"uncle."

Xiangling was about to say something when she yawned twice.

"Put me down, I'll help you change your clothes, the hot water is ready."

As she was talking, the girl felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier. Seeing that Jia Hong had no intention of washing up, she could no longer hold on, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

Seeing this scene, Jia Hong shook his head helplessly.

There was originally a bed for resting in the imperial study, but the bed was not big and could only accommodate one person. At the beginning, he was not used to it.

Later he realized that the bed should be an idea thought up by successive emperors. The bed could only be used for a nap and not for sleeping. This was also a reminder for himself to focus on government affairs. Moreover, it forced himself to go to the harem, which would also be beneficial for his offspring.

However, he didn't care about these at all. Since he moved in, he had someone get a bigger bed for him. For example, tonight, it was already the middle of the night. It might not be appropriate to go to the harem at this time.

He placed Xiangling on the bed. The little girl was not very big and not heavy to hold. He looked at the girl carefully. It was still the same face he remembered, with curved eyebrows and small nose, nothing had changed. The only difference was that her chin was not as round as before and was becoming pointed, just like a lotus in early summer, with its pointed corners just showing.

"Uncle, Lian'er misses you so much."

Listening to the mumbling in her sleep, Jia Hong reached out and touched the rouge mole between her eyebrows. When he rescued this girl, he also told her her real name. The little girl usually used her other name, and the name Zhen Yinglian was almost never heard. But judging from the current situation, she should have never forgotten it.

"Zhen Shiyin's whereabouts are elusive. If not for this, they could be reunited."

Over the years, the Marquis' Mansion has never stopped investigating the Zhen couple, but some things really cannot be done just because you want to.

Zhen Shiyin had been to the Marquis' Mansion before, but at that time, he saw that Xiangling had not been wronged, but was even better than before at home, so he did not stay for long. After a simple gathering for a few days, he left.

As for what happened afterwards, the Marquis' Mansion wanted to continue searching, but they found that the other party seemed to have disappeared from this world without any trace.

Jia Hong had some guesses about this matter at the time. Maybe this old man went to the upper world through some space nodes. At that time, he had too many things to do around him, so he didn't investigate it in detail. Now everything has been decided. If there is a chance, he will look for this person carefully again, and perhaps he will get something.

Speaking of nodes, he remembered a memorial submitted by Liangzhe today, saying that on the bank of Guangling River, a mountain was covered with thick fog, and people who entered would disappear inexplicably. This matter was not a big deal. Later, the Liangzhe government also intervened and temporarily blocked the place to prevent anyone from accidentally breaking in.

But some time ago, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry was ordered to suppress bandits. After they went to the vicinity of Liangzhe, most of the bandits there fled. Those who were desperate, many fled here. After the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry chased them, they found something strange here, so they reported the situation.

Jia Hong's eyes shook slightly. If his guess was correct, the connection between the upper world and the lower world was not as simple as he imagined. The last time they fought, the powerful people in the upper world blocked the passage between the two worlds. It should have been foolproof, but now such a situation has occurred.

Was this done intentionally by someone, or did something happen in the upper realm that caused the space to become unstable, leading to this phenomenon?

"No wonder a good emperor would die young. This intensity is too much for even a cultivator like me, let alone ordinary people."

Pulling the little girl gently into his arms, Jia Hong slowly closed his eyes, hoping he would have a good dream tonight.

On the other side is the Champion Marquis’ Mansion.

After Qin Keqing fell into a dream, she found herself in a very strange place, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

Following the mysterious feeling, she came to a place full of flowers, where she met many girls, and without exception, these girls were peerless beauties. What surprised her was that these girls seemed to know her, but she did not know them.

"Sister, is there something important? Why are you here today?"

Among the flowers, a girl who looked 80% like her greeted her, but she was still confused by what she said. She didn't know why she came here.

"elder sister."

As soon as Qin Keqing said this, she was stunned. When did her voice become so beautiful? And the word "sister" didn't sound awkward at all, as if she should call the other person sister.

"I don't know why I came here. I'm obviously living in the Marquis of Guanjun Mansion. Where is this place?"

When the girl heard the words "Guanjun Marquis' Mansion", she seemed to have thought of something, but finally shook her head helplessly.

"This place is called Lihentian, Guanjiangkou, and Taixu Fantasy Realm. I am the master of this place, and my name is Jinghuan."

Qin Keqing felt even more strange after hearing this. Lihentian? Guanjiangkou? Taixuhuanjing? How come she had never heard of these places?

"Forget it! Forget it! Maybe it's God's fault, it's not the right time for me to come here. But since I'm here, please tell Marquis Guanjun a message. Tell him that Jinghuan admits defeat in the affairs of the mortal world, and ask him to return the Fengyue Baojian to me. I will be grateful to him."

Just when Qin Keqing was about to ask why, she felt dizzy. When she came to her senses, she opened her eyes and found herself still in the Marquis' Mansion. The scene just now seemed like a dream.

"Lihentian? Jinghuan?"
