Bai Xihe and Xiao Yunzi left the meditation room, the courtyard was square and the door was locked tightly, it was as cramped as another cage.

"Go for a walk."

Bai Xihe said.

"This..." Xiao Yunzi looked around, knowing that her master was depressed, so she went to get a lantern and accompanied Bai Xihe out of the yard.

The temple is located on the top of the mountain. At night, the mountain wind blows wildly, blowing Bai Xihe's three thousand black hair and robes.

Because it was late at night, Bai Xihe didn't wear palace attire, nor did he comb any complicated hair buns, so he simply picked a finger and tied it with a white jade hairpin.

Xiao Yunzi is an eunuch, without the roots of a man, even so, he still thinks that his master is really beautiful, a fairy in the painting, a charm in the mountains, a goddess who has fallen into the mortal world.

But for a helpless woman, beauty is sometimes not a good thing.

The temple, which was bustling during the day, is now empty and lonely.

Bai Xihe strolled on the long bluestone path, and came to the back entrance of the temple without knowing it.

She looked at the closed wooden door and did not move for a long time.

Xiao Yunzi hurriedly persuaded: "Master, we can only go here, but we must not go out...there are all guards outside, let people find out, but..."

"My family knows."

Bai Xihe said in a daze.

She turned around, walked towards the stone table and stone bench in the open space, found a random seat and sat down.

Xiao Yunzi was shivering from the mountain wind. He glanced at Bai Xihe, who was wearing thin clothes, and said, "Master, it's windy. Let's sit down and go back. You've caught a cold."

"The Ai family doesn't want to go back yet." Bai Xihe said.

"Then... Ah Choo!" Xiao Yunzi turned her back and sneezed.

He hurriedly said, "The servant will bring you a piece of clothing!"

Bai Xihe nodded lightly.

She's not actually cold.

In other words, she couldn't feel the cold.

This wind, where is her heart cold?

Xiao Yunzi left the lantern behind and walked towards the meditation room in the dark.

Bai Xihe was dressed in white, sitting alone in the night, like a fairy who had been thrown into the river of Forgetfulness.

And just behind her, a shadow approached quietly.

Shadow held a gleaming dagger in his hand, reflecting its sharp edge in the night.

"who!"

Accompanied by a sharp shout, the shadow instantly hid the dagger, turned around and turned into the corridor behind him, and fled into the night.

Bai Xihe subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound, and saw a burly man in silver armor striding forward.

The night is like ink.

It wasn't until the other party approached that she saw the other party's appearance clearly, and her eyes trembled slightly.

"Madam Bai?"

Su Cheng was surprised.

She dresses up during the day, and she has an aura that no strangers should enter. It really doesn't look like the one in memory, and it's no wonder that Su Cheng didn't recognize her.

But now that she had removed the empress dowager's palace attire, and it was too late to put on her domineering aura, Su Cheng also recognized her.

"Madam Bai, why are you here?" Su Cheng asked in confusion.

"I..." Bai Xihe opened his mouth.

Su Cheng sighed, and suddenly realized: "Are you also here to offer incense? Are you a pilgrim from this temple? What a coincidence."

Bai Xihe lowered his eyes: "Yes, many people came to the temple today."

Su Chengdao: "The emperor came to offer incense, of course there are many people."

As long as Father Su has a diploma in official studies, he will not know that the royal family will clear the venue when they come to incense, and it is impossible to allow ordinary people to be present.

Of course, if it was someone else, Su Cheng would still arouse suspicion.

But it happened to be Bai Xihe, the other party was a patient of a fat girl, and he had lived in their house several times, so he couldn't be a bad person.

Su Cheng said again: "It's late at night, why did you come out alone?"

Bai Xihe was hesitating how to answer, her stomach growled.

Su Cheng understood again: "Are you out looking for food? At this hour, there is nothing to eat."

"Really?" Bai Xihe appropriately showed a trace of disappointment.

Su Cheng went to touch his pocket.

There is a child in the family, and he usually carries a few pieces of candy on his body, but he changed his armor, so he didn't bring his purse.

Thinking of something, Su Cheng's eyes lit up: "Madam Bai, I know a place that has food, come with me!"

He opened the back door and looked at Bai Xihe who was sitting on the stone bench: "Let's go."

Bai Xihe looked at the door that was opened for him, his eyes sparkled.

Facing the wind, she walked out of the door, as if she had stepped out of the cage that trapped her.

Su Cheng took her to the fruit forest in the back mountain.

"Which one do you want to eat? I'll pick it for you!"

Bai Xihe looked at the huge fruit above his head, raised his finger and said, "That, that, and that."

Su Chengfei went up and picked seven or eight fruits in a snap.

"There are more over there," he said.

"En." Bai Xihe nodded.

The two continued to pluck, but they couldn't fit into Su Cheng's arms.

He wanted to use his clothes to give her something to eat, but he forgot that he was wearing cold armor, and when he rubbed it, the fruit turned into mud...

"Ahem, there is a stream over there."

The two came to the stream.

Bai Xihe sat on a rock.

Su Cheng washed the fruit and handed it to her.

He himself is not so particular about it, but his daughter once had a stomachache after eating freshly picked fruit, and after that, he would wash the fruit for her.

"wait."

"what?"

Bai Xihe watched Su Cheng go to the stream again without knowing why.

When Su Cheng came back, he had two extra fish in his hand.

He coughed lightly, and asked resentfully: "This is not a temple, so it shouldn't be considered a breach of the precept?"

Bai Xihe smiled: "It doesn't count."

Su Cheng squatted down, lightly set up a fire, and skewered the fish with sticks, and grilled them on the fire.

The smell of fish wafted out quickly.

The warm light of the fire reflected on Bai Xi's and Qingguoqingcheng's faces, and her cold body felt a long-lost warmth.

She took a bite of the sweet and sour fruit, and asked softly, "Will it delay your night duty?"

Su Cheng just said that he came to patrol nearby.

Su Chengdao: "No, I'm in the middle of the night, it's still more than half an hour away! The fish is grilled, here it is!"

He put the fish on the picked lotus leaves and put them on the stone beside Bai Xihe.

Bai Xihe reached out to take it, but Su Cheng reminded: "Be careful it's hot."

Bai Xihe's hands paused, and he moved the lotus leaf towards him: "You eat it too, I can't finish it."

This is not a lie, she doesn't eat much, and she will be full after two bites of anything.

Su Cheng was not polite to her, he caught fish because he wanted to eat it.

He tore off the belly of the fish and left it to Bai Xihe, who held the back and tail of the fish and gnawed on it himself.

Bai Xihe looked at the piece of grilled fish maw that was dripping with oil, pinched it and tasted it lightly.

Coincidentally, 99% of Su Cheng's culinary skills are dark dishes, but he did it twice for Bai Xihe, and he was one of the few who didn't overturn.

Seeing that she had finished eating the fish belly, Su Cheng took the second grilled fish, tore off the fish belly and put it on the lotus leaf.

Then Su Cheng continued to bury his head in eating fish.

Su Cheng didn't feel that he had done anything considerate. At home, the belly of the fish belonged to the children, and he always only ate the tail of the fish.

Bai Xihe tasted the belly of the fish in small bites, and secretly glanced at him.

It's almost time for them to go back.

Su Cheng extinguished the bonfire, and said to Bai Xihe, "Madam Bai, let me take you back to the temple!"

Bai Xihe said in a low voice, "I don't want to go back yet."

Su Chengdao: "The mountain wind is very strong here, you will catch a cold if you stay any longer, and besides, I'm going to work."

Bai Xihe said softly: "You go, I will stay alone for a while."

Su Chengdao: "That can't be done, in the wilderness, it's very dangerous for you to be alone!"

Bai Xihe lowered his eyebrows and said, "I can't leave."

Su Cheng was taken aback: "Why?"

Bai Xihe whispered, "Legs are numb."

Su Cheng: "..."

...

On the other side, Xiao Yunzi took a cloak to look for Bai Xihe, only to find that Bai Xihe had disappeared, and he was so frightened that he was scared out of his wits!

He didn't dare to say anything, so he had to search around first, and when he found it, he came across Xiao Shunyang.

Xiao Yunzi was terrified, at night, wouldn't one or two sleep?

"What are you doing?" Xiao Shunyang asked.

"Slave...slave..." Xiao Yunzi's eyes flickered slightly, racking her brains to figure out how to get away with it.

However, what a sharp person Xiao Shunyang is, he caught a glimpse of the woman's cloak in Xiao Yunzi's hand, and said in a deep voice, "Where is the Empress Dowager?"

"Uh..." Xiao Yunzi calmed down and said seriously, "The Empress Dowager is resting in the meditation room!"

Xiao Shunyang said coldly: "Nonsense! If she is really in the meditation room, why did you come out with her cloak?"

Xiao Yunzi was about to cry.

Xiao Shunyang said: "If you don't admit it, I'll report it to the imperial grandmother!"

Xiao Yunzi turned pale with shock: "Don't, don't, don't! Second Highness! The slave kneels down for you! Don't say anything! The empress dowager... It's just too boring, I can't sleep at night, I just come out to get some air..."

Xiao Shunyang asked, "Where are people?"

Xiao Yunzi lowered her head: "I don't know..."

Xiao Shunyang's face darkened.

He glanced at the half-hidden back door and walked out with a big stride.

The strong wind on the mountain was so strong that Xiao Shunyang could barely open his eyes, and he didn't stop.

Finally, he caught a glimpse of the fairy-like figure beside the stream.

But surprisingly, she was being carried on the back by a man.

Anyone who offends the Empress Dowager will be killed without mercy!

Xiao Shunyang drew out the long sword at his waist, and rushed towards the two with a murderous look.

He slashed at the opponent's legs with a sword.

But suddenly, the other party turned around: "Second Highness?"

Xiao Shunyang's expression changed: "Guo Huan?!"

He retracted the sword in time, and looked at the other party without knowing it, "How could you..."

Su Li said without changing her face: "I heard that my aunt was ill and didn't eat dinner, so I secretly went up to the mountain to see her. She was hungry and the temple had nothing to eat, so I took her out to pick some fruits and grabbed two. Fish. However, it seems that I have waited too long, and my aunt fell asleep."

Xiao Shunyang tried his best to calm down his emotions, the pulsating veins on his forehead mixed with the cold sweat dripping down, looked a little scary.

"you……"

His eyes fell on Bai Xihe's sleeping face, watching her lying on another man's back, her knuckles turning white.

Su Li felt Xiao Shunyang's murderous aura.

"He" is the empress dowager's nephew and Xiao Shunyang's best friend, so Xiao Shunyang wanted to kill himself.

If the person Xiao Shunyang bumped into was his uncle, would his uncle survive?

Thankfully it came in time!

Xiao Shunyang's murderous intent was finally suppressed by reason: "Don't be like this in the future, you should know how to measure when you are old."

Su Li: "Oh."

"Give it to Xiao Yunzi." Xiao Shunyang said, "After all, you are a foreigner, so it's not right for others to see you."

Xiao Yunzi came over and carried the Empress Dowager back to the meditation room.

Su Li pretended to go down the mountain, making sure that Xiao Shunyang couldn't see him, so he turned around and dodged behind a big tree.
