That night, the moon is hollow, and it is the time to sleep and dream. The entire palace is wrapped in the cool moonlight, quiet and peaceful.

Zhao Sansi hugged her arms and rubbed them. A small piece of clothing could not cover her wrists. The night was as cold as water, so cold that she couldn't help but tremble. She listened carefully for a while and was sure that it was as quiet as a chicken outside. Then she stood on tiptoe and tiptoed out from behind the veil.

In the center of the room was the large bathtub where Gu Xizhao had just taken a bath. The water inside had already cooled down. With the moonlight slipping in from the gap, you could vaguely see the gap between a layer of peach petals floating in the gap.

Zhao Sansi stood on the edge of the bathtub, couldn't help but stretched a finger inside, and carefully stroked and pulled the peach blossom petals away, and the milky white water color became clearer. With a "gurgle", she couldn't help swallowing. She quickly retracted her hand and covered her lips.

However, her eyes were still stuck to the water - so thirsty. She grew up so big that she had never tasted the milk. She dreamed that the scent of the milk she said was the emperor's sister who often bullied her. Unfortunately, she visited the imperial kitchen so many times. Except for seeing this thing in the imperial kitchen on the day of her birthday the previous year, she had never seen it again.

The more I looked, the more thirsty he became. Zhao Sansi licked his dry lips, but couldn't help it. He put his wet fingers into his mouth. The milk mixed with water was already thin, and he added peach petals and various spices. Except for a fragrance, Zhao Sansi savored it for half a day, but he couldn't taste what it tasted.

She was a little disappointed and glanced at the water again. Somehow, the way Gu Xizhao was sitting inside suddenly popped up in her mind. She was startled by herself, as if she realized that this was the bath water, her prince's favorite concubine...

If someone knows that she secretly tastes Concubine Xi’s bathing water, not only her brother misunderstood, but also because Concubine Xi would suspect that she was coveting her.

Zhao Sansi subconsciously looked around, then quickly spitted at the opposite side a few times, pulled his already short sleeve and wiped his lips repeatedly.

She was just too thirsty... so she was so stupid. Yes, she was too thirsty. It was definitely not because she was coveting the beauty of Guiren Xi.

Zhao Sansi comforted himself like this, then shook her head quickly, trying to get rid of the fragrance of Concubine Yanxi that was entrenched in her mind, but her heart was still beating in chaos, and her face was red at the base of her neck. Although no one saw it, she still felt ashamed to burn.

After taking a few deep breaths, Zhao Sansi calmed down after stroking his chest and did not dare to stand at the edge of the bathtub again. He still stood on tiptoe and moved carefully towards the door.

At this moment, with a slight "creak" sound, the door opened from outside. It was too unexpected. Zhao Sansi's mind was blank immediately. He could only stand still, staring at the door with wide eyes.

"It's me." Gu Xizhao felt that she was a very pity for the sake of beauty. For example, now that she knew that this poor second prince was a little girl, she was very gentle and considerate to others. "Don't be afraid of the second prince."

After hearing the sound, Zhao Sansi came to his senses and carefully looked at the person. Only then did he realize that the person dressed in Ye Xing's clothes was the Concubine Xi. A heart that was raised to his throat was instantly realized, "Concubine Xi..."

"Shh." Gu Xizhao entered the room, closed the door softly, walked closer to her, and then whispered: "The palace maid was so anxious just now, and I didn't have time to tell you in detail. You are a brainy person. If you know, hide in this place and don't run around, otherwise I will have to go all over the palace to find you."

After coming to his senses, Zhao Sansi was a little guilty again and did not dare to look up and look at the person. He lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "Is the imperial concubine here to send me out of the palace now?"

"If you don't send out your little disaster, I'm afraid I'll burn you." Gu Xizhao said, taking out a few pieces of pastries wrapped in a veil from her arms and handing them to her. "You are running today, your emperor is anxious. You can't find you this day. Now let the guards search the entire palace in the name of searching for assassins."

Zhao Sansi looked at the pastry in front of her, and her nose felt a little sore. Since she was killed by her mother and nanny, she had not felt that others were treating her well for a long time. When she thought of the troubles she caused, she became more and more disgusted.

"Hmm? Don't you like this pastry?" Gu Xizhao saw that she hadn't taken the pastry in her hand for a long time, and reached out to her a little. "There is no other food in the room, only a few pieces of pastry on the table. I'm afraid that you won't eat at night and are hungry, so these things can fill your stomach."

Zhao Sansi shook her head. She wouldn't like the exquisite pastry in front of her. "It's not that she doesn't like it, it's because she thinks that the imperial concubine treats me too well. I... I feel very sorry..."

"Didn't Bai Ri tell you that I am a beautiful and kind person who cares for the world?" Gu Xizhao joked, and when she saw her tears stuttering again, she burst into laughter in an instant, "It's so good, why did you suddenly cry again..."

Zhao Sansi suddenly hugged her. Now the imperial concubine knows that she is a girl's house. Although the imperial concubine is only considered her concubine of her elder brother, she is also half of her sister-in-law. It is true that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. The only one who cares about herself in the past was that unreliable mother.

"The imperial concubine is just like my mother. I will respect you well in the future..."

Gu Xizhao: "..." If it weren't for the little prince who had died of father and mother, she really wanted to kick someone back to the Cedar Palace.

Alas, who said this is a little princess, or a little princess who lacks love. If it is a little prince, it will be annoying to cry, but if it is a little princess, the crying look will be a bit pitiful.

Finally, Gu Xizhao just took a deep breath and comforted her stiffly, "Okay, okay, stop crying, how old is he?"

"I...I don't always cry so much." On this day, she cried in front of this person twice. Zhao Sansi was afraid that she would dislike her, so he quickly wiped her tears and explained, "I am very strong on weekdays, but I don't know why, but I can't help it in front of the imperial concubine."

"Hao, we've only seen you for a few times? I've seen you cry three times." Gu Xizhao exposes her mercilessly.

Zhao Sansi was speechless, "Then... I will definitely not cry in front of the imperial concubine..."

Gu Xizhao didn't say anything, and picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth, blocking her talkative mouth, "Don't say these useless things, the most important thing right now is to send you out of my Changle Palace."

Zhao Sansi took the pastry and secretly looked at her. Seeing her looking at him, he quickly turned his face away and nodded, "I will try not to cause trouble for the imperial concubine."

He stuffed a mouthful of pastries and said it was very vague. Gu Xizhao didn't hear it clearly, but he guessed it. He walked to the door and took a look. The pair of willow leaves that were always lazy and seductive were rarely serious. "Are you afraid? I'm afraid that you can't go back to the Cedar Palace where you used to live tonight. If you can't find your person, your emperor must have someone stay there. If you leave the palace later, I will take you quietly to hide behind the rockery in the Imperial Garden. If nothing unexpected happens, the guards will find you soon tomorrow."

Zhao Sansi was a little scared, but he was afraid of causing trouble for others, so he swallowed the pastry hard, "I'm not afraid."

Gu Xizhao glanced at her, wanted to say something, but then suppressed her again. She had no relatives and no reason for her. She had done this for her, and she had done her best. Then she thought, "Then you finish this pastry quickly and I will send it to you. By the way, if your prince asks you why you ran away tomorrow, what would you say?"

Zhao Sansi was stunned. When she arrived in front of the emperor, she must not dare to tell the truth.

"Then remember what I said..." Gu Xizhao knew that this silly little prince could not think of any trick, otherwise he would not have been frightened away by the palace maids in impulsively. "If your prince asked, you said that no one had ever served you in bathing and changing clothes like this, and you were not used to it... If he had to ask more carefully, you said that the palace ladies who used to serve you knew that no one was in charge of the Xuesong Palace, and after your mother died, those palace ladies would bully you privately. Over time, you became afraid of the palace ladies who were serving you in close proximity, and they would run away when they were nervous."

Zhao Sansi took a mouthful of pastry and listened carefully to her. He nodded solemnly and said, "I remember."

Gu Xizhao looked at her well-behaved appearance, touched her head, her eyebrows and eyes loosened, and she smiled a little, "It's good to remember, don't let it go, do you know? Your royal brother values ​​you now. If you say this, he will only feel more sorry for you and won't think too much for the time being..."

Halfway through the words, Gu Xizhao remembered what Zhao Jin said to her privately in Bairi, and then smiled again, but when she looked at Zhao Sansi, who was eating pastries seriously, her lips moved and she still didn't say much.

Everyone has their own destiny. Now that Zhao Jin has no descendants, there is no cure. As Zhao Jin said, only this second prince on the surface can hold his seat firmly. Although she now knows that the second prince is actually a princess, such a royal secret will be buried with a large number of people.

Zhao Jin is a wise king, but now he puts all his bets on this emperor's brother. Once he knows that the second prince is a daughter, he will execute the person in the know at the least and dismiss the second prince from afar; at worst, he will be punished as the crime of deceiving the emperor and have to wash the Cedar Palace in the past, and he will probably not be at peace if the dead concubine Yao is not at peace.

Thinking of this, Gu Xizhao looked at Zhao Sansi with a little more pity, "Second Prince, do you think about your life in the future?"

"Thinking about it." Although Zhao Sansi didn't know why Concubine Xi suddenly asked herself this, she still told her little thoughts seriously and sincerely, "My mother and nanny are dead. My wish is to be full and well-dressed every day. If I could eat a few pig's trotters and a few roast chicken from time to time, if I could still..." Zhao Sansi looked in the direction of the bathtub, pursed her lower lip, and continued in a low voice: "If I could drink a few bowls of milk for Concubine's bathing every month, I would be very satisfied."

"..." Gu Xizhao didn't know what to say. If someone else talked to her like this, she would definitely suspect that the other party was secretly accusing her of being extravagant. But this little pitiful, whether it was the tone or expression of the speech, was really impeccable and sincere. It was because of this that she annoyed: "You are so promising?"

Zhao Sansi didn't know what he said wrong and was provoking someone. He took another bite of the pastry and looked more cautious. "That's what I think now. In the future, I'm waiting for the adulthood to give me a more remote fiefdom. Don't be rich or big. I'll be free."

Gu Xizhao lowered her eyes, and she was indescribable. If the former emperor had more princes, the wish in front of her would not be a luxury, but now she is afraid...

"Have you eaten? Let's go."

Zhao Sansi nodded, trying to lick the pastry crumbs on his fingers. He noticed that Gu Xizhao was looking at him, and quickly retracted his hand, put it behind his back, and secretly rubbed his hand on his clothes.

Gu Xizhao wanted to pretend to turn a blind eye, but she still couldn't see it and gave her the veil she had on her, "You can't be so rude in the future."

Zhao Sansi took her handkerchief and nodded with a red face. When her mother was there, she was also a ruler, but later she couldn't eat enough, so she was reluctant to wipe off the little oil rubbed from her fingers.

Gu Xizhao walked in front, took Zhao Sansi out of the house, and went straight to the side hall in the backyard.

Although the eunuch guarding the gate in the front yard was sent off by her today, there were often guards patrolling the palace alley outside the gate, especially tonight when the "assin" incident happened. Therefore, the gate must not be able to go, so he could only climb out of the small hole behind the side hall and then walk around the remote alleys.

Zhao Sansi lived without the prince for more than ten years and had long forgotten that she was a noble prince. So when she came out of the dog, she didn't think anything was there, but when she saw Concubine Xi climbing out of the cave, she felt very sad. "I will repay you today if I let the Concubine follow me."

"Insulted?" Gu Xizhao was stunned for a moment. When she saw her eyes stopping on the dog's crawling hole, she immediately understood what she meant. The high wall couldn't help but she was too lazy to make trouble. Just as she was about to talk, her ears moved and quickly pulled Zhao Sansi to the corner to hide, covering her lips, and when the people patrolling in front passed, she said: "This matter has passed today. If you stay away from me, you will be the best reward for me."

When Zhao Sansi heard this, he was so disappointed that he twisted his fingers, "Oh."

This pitiful look made people feel soft-hearted. Gu Xizhao decided not to look at her, but after taking two steps, she couldn't help but turn around and hold her hand, pretending to be angry, "Let's walk slowly, without any sense of crisis." Forget it, who told me that the little pitiful behind me was a girl's house.

Zhao Sansi was a little happy when he looked at the white hands, "I am not afraid of having a concubine."

The little girl is a movie, I'm afraid she knows that she is a kind-hearted person, so she will please her.

Gu Xizhao felt happy, but her face was cold, "Second Prince, don't rub your nose against your face."

Zhao Sansi was honestly glared by her.

Gu Xizhao has been in the palace for five years. In the past few years, he has done a lot of visits to the palace this night, and has cleared the remote areas in the palace. Along the way, he took Zhao Sansi by avoiding patrol guards and arrived at the Imperial Garden without any danger, hiding Zhao Sansi in a small gap between a strange rock at the southeast foot.

This strange stone is natural, tall and numerous, and a small pavilion is built on it. The pavilion is called Wangxiangtai. As the name suggests, this pavilion is the highest point of the entire palace. Standing here, you can see out of the palace. If the concubines in the harem miss their hometown, they can stand on it and take a look.

"If no one finds you tomorrow, you can come out of it and go back to the Cedar Palace by yourself, do you know?"

Seeing that Zhao Sansi was reluctant to talk, Gu Xizhao looked around and frowned impatiently, "Scared?"

Zhao Sansi nodded, shook his head quickly, and whispered with his fingers: "I rarely go out of the Cedar Palace and I am not familiar with the palace..."

Gu Xizhao was really a headache when she held this little disaster. She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, "Then you stay here honestly. I will go to see your prince early tomorrow morning, and then click on Li Zhongxian."

Seeing her face tense, Zhao Sansi knew that she was impatient and dared not say much, "I listened to the imperial concubine."

Gu Xizhao couldn't see her well-behaved look, and looked around in the small hole. She didn't see any insects or snakes, but she still reminded her: "If the air is warming up today, it's time for many insects or snakes. You will wake up and don't fall asleep."

"Well, I know everything." Zhao Sansi nodded. She is still experienced. The Cedar Palace has no weeds and repairs, and when it comes to this weather, she is not very worried about these things.

Gu Xizhao didn't say anything, but she didn't rush to leave. The small hole seemed a little crowded and weird for a moment.

After a while, Zhao Sansi pursed his lips and took the initiative to say, "Concubine, please go back soon."

Gu Xizhao nodded, gave a few more instructions, walked to the entrance of the cave, feeling a little confused, and turned around and said, "Don't be afraid, it will be dawn soon."

Zhao Sansi smiled when she saw her wandering appearance, "Don't worry about me, please go back quickly."

Although I have seen each other twice, I have only been together for less than twelve hours. Why is this person in front of me so heart-wrenching? Gu Xizhao looked at Zhao Sansi's peach blossom eyes that bent down with a smile. She couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it and smiled, "Then I'll leave."

Zhao Sansi nodded seriously, "Be careful on the road of the imperial concubine."

"Yes." Gu Xizhao also responded seriously, and then left without looking back.

Zhao Sansi stood at the entrance of the cave, watching the person walking away, turned around and sat on the ground with her knees in her arms. She thought she would be scared, but listening to the frequent roar of insects around her, she fell asleep quickly.
