Shangguan Wanwan went to meet Hua Jingyuan, Eryu went to the imperial dining room to see today's dinner, and several other girls and eunuchs were also arranged by Mo Xi in the courtyard. Mo Xi rarely enjoyed this alone time. She used to love her most

Being alone, since entering the palace, has almost become a luxury.

I was holding the pipa and playing an unknown tune leisurely, thinking about nothing but just relaxing. Suddenly, a dart broke through the window and was nailed to the table in front of me.

It was a black swallow-tailed dart. The body of the dart was stuck in the wood, and the tail end was still trembling slightly. There was a piece of paper tied with a red thread. Mo Xi's eyes darkened, and he took off the paper without thinking.

Swallowtail Guard hid it and went back to the inner room to open the note. It was not written in Mo Xi's familiar handwriting.

In the past, the handwriting of the person who interacted with Mo Xi was square and grand, but this time the handwriting on the note was delicate and beautiful. The note read: "At midnight tonight, at the north gate of the Royal Garden, under the pomegranate tree." Mo Xi.

The hand holding the note was shaking desperately, and he almost couldn't hold the light piece of paper.

The shadow sent someone into the palace. When did this happen? Is the mission of the person he sent to monitor him? Is he someone he knows? Or has he lurked around him? Have he exposed any flaws?

The strong uneasiness made Mo Xi's lips tremble and she almost fell down. The deep-rooted fear of shadows has not yet been washed away from her blood.

"Little Master?" Eryu called her with a crisp voice, which scared Mo Xi and quickly put the note away. For a moment, she didn't dare to believe anyone, so she only responded and straightened her hair and clothes to make sure there was nothing strange.

He walked around the screen and walked out of the inner room, only to see Jin Zixinyi and noble lady also coming.

"Mo Xi, please see Mr. Yi." Mo Xi saluted her as he should, but she helped him up.

"There is no need for so many etiquettes between us." Yi Guiren pulled Mo Xi to sit down and said, "I'm really bored by myself, so I came here to talk to you and have a meal with you."

"As long as you don't dislike the simple meals I have here." Mo Xi had already put away all his emotions and stopped leaking any of them, chatting with Yigui.

"Young ladies should come here more often. My young master will be bored in this Chuxiu Palace alone." Eryu said while taking out some snacks from the food box.

The eighteen beautiful ladies selected by the Queen Mother have almost been canonized. There are only three or two people living in the Chuxiu Palace, but Mo Xi is among them. Those three people have anger and resentment in their hearts. Seeing that Mo Xi usually

She didn't talk much, she didn't have much status, and she didn't give her a lot of looks on weekdays. Fortunately, Mo Xi didn't bother to argue with her, so everything was fine.

But Eryu couldn't see it. Mo Xi was a kind-hearted master who treated her very well. Although Mo Xi's status was not as good as those of noble concubines, the things he gave her were no worse than those of the previous generation of girls. Regarding this,

Then she remembered her kindness.

Mo Xi didn't want to take advantage of Yi Guiren's position, so she only gently mentioned the matter and asked her how she was doing recently.

Yi Guiren took Mo Xi's hand and just thanked her. Fortunately, she reminded herself not to compete for favors when the concubines were banned. Those nobles who were blindly competing for favors were always there, and all of them ended up miserably by the empress and the concubines. The Emperor

He didn't protect them at all, leaving the queen and concubine alone.

Mo Xi only said: "There are so many beauties in the harem, which one can he protect?"

Yi Guiren also nodded, feeling helpless. Mo Xi only had dinner with Yi Guiren casually, and then sent her back.

While Shangguan Wanwan was undoing Mo Xi's hair, she told her the news she heard from Hua Jingyuan. As expected, Chen Youwen did not go to court with the prime minister today, and it seemed that the two of them had some disagreements. Mo Xi just listened.

She nodded and said nothing else. In fact, she was worried about the shadow.

Mo Xi, who was lying on the bed, refused to let anyone wait on her, and sent the girls and eunuchs outside. She looked at the curtains and carefully thought about her thoughts. The seemingly transparent silk curtains trapped her in a blur, making her expression unclear.

.

Who could be this person who meets Mo Xi in the palace? She can find her own place, so she must have stayed in the palace for a long time. The darts thrown are silent and go deep into the wood. She is a martial arts expert. In this palace,

There are so many people who know martial arts, and there are nearly a thousand guards. How can we find this person?

The only good thing is that most of the news that Mo Xi sent back to Shadow were about major events that happened in the palace, and there are traces of them, and some private ones, such as Baili Muyun's true face, she believed that the contact person must be

have no idea.

But suddenly there is a pair of eyes staring at him from behind in the palace, and no one will feel comfortable. What's more, Mo Xi has already betrayed the shadow, and now it's too late to look back! Mo Xi must find this person!

When he finally got up, Mo Xi put on a black cloak and looked to see that no one was outside the house. Eryu, who was keeping watch at night, was already asleep, and then he tiptoed through the front hall and walked out.

The north gate of the Imperial Garden is the closest to Chuxiu Palace. I think the person coming there is very familiar with the terrain of the palace. Mo Xi didn't dare to light a corner lamp, so he could only use the moonlight to feel his way along the corner. Fortunately, it's summer.

The moonlight was so beautiful that the ground seemed to be covered with a layer of silver frost. The slender shadows fell on the silver frost, as if they were floating in the moonlight, looking extremely weak and helpless.

The bright red pomegranate flowers are in full bloom, layer upon layer, with slightly curly petals like a woman's long skirt, sending out fragrance enthusiastically, and the light yellow stamens shyly hide among the petals. From a distance, they form a gorgeous sea.

Very, no wonder some people always use "pomegranate skirt" to describe a woman's beauty.

There are a large number of pomegranate trees planted on the north side of the Imperial Garden, and I don’t know where the person who made the connection is. Mo Xi tightened his cloak to cover his face, and walked along the row of pomegranate trees. After walking a few steps, he was stopped by someone.

She covered her mouth and dragged her into the pomegranate forest. Just as Mo Xi was about to scream, she heard the man say in her ear: "I am a shadow."

The sound was rough and harsh, like the sound of gravel rubbing on the floor, which made people feel chilly. But Mo Xi had long been used to it. When she was still training, all the people who trained her were like this.

A throat, this is a kind of ointment-like medicine unique to shadow. When applied to the throat, it will cover up the original voice.

It wasn't until he let go of Mo Xi that Mo Xi could clearly see the person he was connecting with. His whole body was covered by a wide cloak, and his face was covered with a black mask. Only a pair of eyes were exposed, but they were covered by the hood of the cloak.

Go. You can't tell whether you're male or female, you can't tell your age, and maybe even your height and shape are fake. This is an experienced shadow, and Mo Xi feels troubled.

"What are your orders, Master?" Mo Xi knew that Yingying never talked nonsense, so there was no way he could get any information out of them.

"Why haven't you been with the emperor yet?" the rough and unpleasant voice asked.

"No chance." Mo Xi was a little nervous and answered simply.

"Your beauty is unparalleled in the world, not to mention among the six palaces. The emperor is fatuous and lustful, how come you don't have a chance!" The man obviously didn't believe it.

"I have made it clear in the letter that I want the Queen Mother to send me to Baili Muyun. I don't want to be killed by the Queen." Mo Xi emboldened herself. Anyway, they couldn't know what she was planning to say.
