Chapter 16

Oops, found out!
I was startled in a cold sweat, turned around and ran away in a hurry.

I panicked and didn't choose my way, it was getting darker and darker in front of my eyes, there were dense pine trees and plum forests on both sides, and the shadow of a palace appeared faintly in front of me, but it was pitch black, with no light at all.

The sound of footsteps behind him followed like a shadow.

I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat, and ran with almost all my strength.

If he finds out that I have left Congyun Palace...

If, by him, I saw him having a tryst here...

I just can't think of it.

Seeing that there is a dense plum forest in front of me, as soon as I got in, I felt that the twisted and vigorous branches were constantly pulling on my skirt. I had just run a few steps when I tripped over a tree root on the ground and fell heavily. .

I didn't care about the pain, so I hurriedly hid behind a few plum trees growing in clusters, curled up as hard as I could, only looking at the darkness, Ling Shaoyang couldn't see me.

There was a deathly silence around me, I held my breath and could barely hear my own heartbeat.

I don't know how long it has passed, but there is still silence around.

Did he just give up and leave without finding me?

Thinking of this, I slowly moved outside, and tentatively looked towards the road I came from. It was pitch black, only the whistling wind sounded.

Ling Shaoyang really did not follow.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and then stood up boldly.

However, the moment I stood up straight, I suddenly felt a light breathing sound from behind, almost hitting my ears.

"what--!"

With a low cry, I stepped back in fright. The tree root under my feet tripped me again, and I fell on my back.

At this moment, suddenly a hand stretched out, grabbed my waist fiercely, pulled me hard, I was pulled up by him, and fell into a large and solid chest unexpectedly.

.

A burst of cold and clear green plum fragrance penetrated into my nose lightly.

I was a little dazed for a moment, I just felt his warm breath blowing against my cheeks, and a deep and magnetic voice said slowly: "Are you still awake?"

Only then did I realize that I was in a daze against the chest of a strange man!
Standing up from his embrace in a hurry, my face was flushed with shame, and I didn't dare to raise my head. I just felt that there seemed to be a tall and slender man in front of me, with his hands behind his back, silently sizing me up.

"who are you?"

"..."

I bit my lower lip, not knowing what to say or not.

After all, I was the one who made the mistake first, and I don't know the identity of the person in front of me, but when I saw his clothes, they were gorgeous and simple, and the green plums embroidered with silver silk at the corners were also shining in the dark. There is a jade cicada hanging from his waist. You don't need to look closely, just from the crystal clear light, you can know that it is priceless.

This person is definitely not an ordinary guard, let alone a eunuch.

Then he is—

"You look up."

He said something again in a low voice, the voice was not loud, but it contained irresistible pressure.

There is no escape.

I gritted my teeth, raised my head, and met that scrutinizing gaze.
