Chapter 105

Autumn is getting stronger, the flowers are withered, the leaves are yellowish, only a few big red maples are swaying in the woods of the back mountain, rustling in the wind.Yun Qing stepped on the soft fallen leaves, and the bright red Luan robe lingered behind him. In this slightly desolate and lonely forest, it seemed to be embellished with a burst of spring scenery.

On the back mountain, the sound of water is approaching, trickling, and mist gradually rises under the red clouds at dusk. In the haze, there is a bright red smoke.

Yun Qing walked to the side of the creek, raised his eyelashes and looked at the green hills, and saw a waterfall as thin as a rainbow flying thousands of feet, swaying several feet of water drops, blinking his eyes, but couldn't help but raised his hands to gather his robe.With the end of spring and the wind of autumn, it is much colder here, even the water mist is extraordinarily cool.

"Why don't you wear more?" From the side, a deep voice came slowly, with a bit of laziness and hoarseness.The black robe trembled in the wind, and the scent of chrysanthemums was faintly wafting.

Yun Qing turned his head, and saw that Sun Hengchu was holding a large bouquet of Laughing Chrysanthemums in full bloom like golden threads in his hands. The gorgeous color matched his cold attire, which looked extraordinarily funny.A smile flashed in his eyes, Yun Qing walked up to him, took a large bunch of chrysanthemums from his hand, and said calmly: "Aren't these chrysanthemums from the Royal Garden, are there chrysanthemums on the back mountain?"

Sun Hengchu's dark eyes stared at Yun Qing's indifferent expression of joy, and a smile appeared on his face. He nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it's all over the mountains and plains."

"That must be beautiful." Yun Qing sniffed the chrysanthemum in his hand, and said with a rare expression of interest.The chrysanthemums all over the mountains and fields should be very beautiful. Perhaps in this ancient time and space, when cold weapons were the main force, only the place where the dead lived was the most peaceful, peaceful and bright like heaven.

"It's very beautiful, a piece of gold, surrounded by branches and vines, singing birds and flowers, and you can hear the rushing water every day." Sun Hengchu raised his head, looked at the dreamlike smoke on the green hill, his eyes flashed a little sadly, and then said , he turned his head, looked at Yun Qing deeply, and said: "But, you don't want to live that kind of life, otherwise, I can take you to find a beautiful place like this to live in seclusion."

Yun Qing raised her eyebrows and suddenly sneered, but she didn't know whether to laugh at Sun Hengchu's innocence or her current position.Now, she needs to put in all her effort even to protect herself, let alone leave the palace to be at ease. Now, the dark tide is raging in this palace. Her enemies have gradually become clear, but her friends are still unknown, and there is a slight mistake. It will be beyond redemption.

Sun Hengchu looked at the sneer on the corner of Yun Qing's lips, and the illusion just now was shattered. His eyes dimmed, and then he turned his head away with a wounded face, and raised his sword eyebrows.He knew that he shouldn't have such unrealistic fantasies, but he had never been cut off so abruptly.

"Wan'er, I really don't know what you want? If it's the imperial power and wealth, you have to fight against the little emperor everywhere. If you just want to live in peace, why do you want to win over the Phantom Gate? The power? Last night, you even provoked the relationship between Khitan and Xuanye, plotting to provoke war between the two countries, and marrying Wang Yanping's daughter who is about to enter the palace to General Leng... Wan'er, there are dangers lurking everywhere in this palace. Even people in the rivers and lakes are their own masters, but I still don't know what you want to do, what do you want? What do you want more?" Sun Hengchu frowned, and there was a little excitement in his low-pitched words. The more he doesn't understand Yun Qing's mind, perhaps, he has never understood it.

Yun Qing raised her eyebrows, she played with the chrysanthemum in her hand, then slowly took two steps towards the forest like a stroll, looking at the rustling fallen leaves, her eyes were filled with a little melancholy, but she still said lightly: Didn't brother promise me that he wouldn't ask these questions again?"

Sun Hengchu froze, and suddenly turned to look at Yun Qing, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, like a child who did something wrong, but just as he was about to speak again, Yun Qing interrupted him, saying: "The emperor arrested the second lady , now I don’t know where it is locked up, I want you to investigate secretly and wait for the opportunity, but you are not allowed to startle the snake.”

"Second madam?" Sun Hengchu was astonished, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he asked in doubt: "Didn't the second madam commit suicide by throwing herself into a well the day you returned to the palace?"

"Yes, and no." Yun Qing squinted his eyes, and said quietly: "I saw her at noon today. This seems to be a situation arranged by the little emperor. You have to be careful. Since he can find out where the second lady is, Maybe he has already found clues to your whereabouts. After you find the second lady's hiding place, don't act rashly. I have to investigate this matter thoroughly before I can make the next decision."

"The emperor already suspects you?" Sun Hengchu was shocked, he frowned, then strode up to Yun Qing, suddenly half-kneeled in front of her, grabbed her slender wrist, and said: "No, this is too dangerous, I will take you away immediately"

Yun Qing lowered her eyebrows, she looked at Sun Hengchu's nervous expression with some displeasure, but she didn't get angry, she just said lightly: "Do you think I can save my life if I leave? What about the Prime Minister? What about the General? What about the hundreds of lives in the family? General Wei Lie doesn't have a military talisman to protect him now. The crime of seeking power and usurping the throne. What's more, now that the military power is in the hands of the emperor, once I disappear, do you know what will happen?"

"So what?" Sun Hengchu's eyes were as dark as a pool, he still held Yun Qing's hand tightly, his handsome face was full of firmness, and he said: "The life and death of others has nothing to do with me, I only know that I should protect you"

Yun Qing was slightly stunned, looking at the determination and indifference in Sun Hengchu's eyes, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, she threw off his restraint abruptly, raised her eyebrows and said: "Sun Butler is also from the Xiangfu, do you also have the heart to hurt him?" , said without looking at him, dropped the chrysanthemum in his hand, turned and left...

Sun Hengchu has changed. He may have been cold and heartless before, but he knew how to respect life, but now, his temperament seems to have been polished, and even his affection for Butler Sun has changed.What went wrong, Yun Qing always felt that something was wrong, only felt that the man in front of him seemed to have become another person because of too long depression.

Slowly walking back to the back of the main hall of Chenxi Palace, Yun Qing pouted his brows in thought, but just as he walked to the window pane, he heard unusual noises.Her sensitive hearing brought Yun Qing back to her senses. She raised her eyes suddenly, and almost without thinking for a moment, she nimbly turned over and jumped into the window. Then, she heard a chaotic noise outside the bedroom.
