Jun Huailang hated himself from the bottom of his heart.

He hates himself for being weak and his teeth are cold, but he still can't stand by and watch Xue Yan become the target of public criticism.

In the final analysis, he didn't believe that Xue Yan had any reason to hate and humiliate his sister as he did in his previous life. This kind of thinking actually made him compete with himself.

He gritted his teeth and told himself in his heart to give Xue Yan one last chance.

Find Ling Huan first and ask the cause and effect. If it is indeed Xue Yan who deceives people too much, then he must make Xue Yan pay back a hundred times.

Jun Huailang told himself, trembling in his heart, for the last time.

Seeing his insistence, Emperor Qing Ping only thought he was overly worried about his sister, and without hesitation, he agreed: "Then you must pay attention to safety. Listen to the blessings, send a few Jinwu guards, and you must follow the prince all the way."

Lingfu hurriedly responded.

Jun Huailang got the emperor's permission, turned around and left with the team of Jinwuwei. In addition to the brightly lit Xijiao Gate of the Imperial Garden at this time, there was only a palace lantern hanging in the palace five steps away. As soon as he walked out of the scope of the Xijiaomen, the surroundings of Jun Huailang suddenly became dark.

Jun Huailang looked around, forced himself to calm down, and thought about where Jun Linghuan might go.

Just then, footsteps sounded behind him.

He turned around and saw Jun Xiaowu and Xue Yunhuan running over one after the other.

"I asked my mother for grace, and my mother was worried about you, so she allowed the two of us to be with you." Xue Yunhuan said.

On the side, Jun Xiaowu patted Jun Huailang on the shoulder, and then called Jin Wuwei's team captain over and asked him to report where he had just found.

Jun Huailang calmed down and glanced at the two of them gratefully.

The team leader said that because of the emergency situation just now, he ordered his men to search along all roads outside the west corner. On all roads and around the roads, Jun Linghuan was not seen. He sent people to look for the surrounding palaces, but he did not see Jun Linghuan there.

That is to say, Jun Linghuan has searched all the places he might take the initiative to go to.

"The place that the minister sent people to search is really too general, but the scope of the palace is a bit large, and the minister thought that the eldest lady is still young, and I am afraid that I will not go to a place that is too dark, so..." After the captain of the Jinwu guard pleaded guilty, he added Then said. "The minister will immediately send someone to search all the areas. Eunuch Lingfu has also sent some eunuchs who can help the minister together..."

"Too slow." Jun Huailang said suddenly.

"His Royal Highness said...?" Captain Jinwu was taken aback.

Jun Huailang pondered for a moment.

"Are there any uninhabited palaces around, or places that no one usually goes to?" he asked.

The captain of the Jinwu Guard thought about it: "There is no one near the Royal Garden. But one mile westward is the location of the Cold Palace... Miss will not go there?"

Jun Huailang thought for a while, and said, "You still send people to search according to your plan. Give me a few more people, and I will go to the cold palace to take a look."

Although the captain of the Jinwu Guard was puzzled, he still listened to his instructions and dispatched a small team of Jinwu Guards to lead the way for Jun Huailang.

"Brother, what are you doing in the cold palace?" Jun Xiaowu wondered. "Ling Huan is most afraid of the kind of places no one goes to, don't you know?"

After all, in the palace, today is the Emperor's Qianqiu Banquet. No matter how bold the people in the palace are, they will not run around with nobles, so the only possibility is that Jun Linghuan gets lost.

Jun Huailang paused and said, "That's why I'm going to confirm."

In his previous life, he didn't even know about Jun Linghuan's loss in the palace, which shows that she was not in danger and was finally found.

What Jun Huailang is more concerned about is how she lost it and whether it has anything to do with Xue Yan.

If Xue Yan really wanted to hide her, then it must be in a place where no one would go, and everyone thought that Jun Linghuan would not go. Whether Jun Linghuan was hiding it from Xue Yan was what he cared about the most.

What happened in the past life... can't happen again.

——

an hour ago.

At the Qianqiu Banquet, Concubine Shu was the most lively. Among the concubines and concubines in the palace, she is the only one who is always favored and arrogant. Those who are not favored and have children in the palace, even if they do not curry favor with the queen, always curry favor with her.

A group of concubines, Yingying and Yanyan, were surrounded by bees and butterflies, and the fragrance was lingering, making Jun Linghuan sneeze.

Halfway through the banquet, she wanted to go out to get some air. But through the stained window in the apse, she saw that her brother was chatting happily with her second brother, so she held back again.

My brother hasn't seen my second brother for a long time. If I go to him by myself, he will be distracted to take care of himself again.

Jun Linghuan endured for a while.

Then, when she saw the table in front of Jun Huailang, Xue Yan stood up.

It's the fifth prince's brother! The elder brother told himself that the fifth prince's elder brother is also his own elder brother, the same as his elder brother.

Moreover, the fifth prince brother is also a good person! The last time I wanted to give my brother some soothing incense, he helped me. After that, he also looked for himself and asked himself to find more incense, and he gave it to his brother every day.

Sure enough, from that day on, my brother was able to sleep soundly.

Jun Linghuan felt like being granted amnesty, and hurriedly grabbed Concubine Shu's sleeve and whispered, "Auntie, I want to go to see Brother Fifth Prince to play."

Concubine Shu was surrounded by a group of concubines and was eating fruit with little interest. Hearing what Jun Linghuan said, she was stunned for a while, and then she remembered who the fifth prince was.

Next to him, Zhang Guiren, the biological mother of the second prince, heard the words and smiled meaningfully: "Miss Jun, you can't say such a thing. You are young and ignorant, that one is a demon who has come down to earth and will eat children... …”

When Concubine Shu heard this, she frowned and interrupted her: "What are you doing to scare her about these strange powers in front of the child?"

Concubine Shu didn't believe in ghosts and gods. She didn't like Xue Yan simply because the emperor hated him. In the palace, if the emperor doesn't like someone, then whoever stays there is unlucky and has nothing to do with ghosts and gods.

Zhang Guiren didn't dare to provoke her, and closed her mouth embarrassingly.

Jun Linghuan asked ignorantly, "Aunt, what is the evil star?"

Concubine Shu was upset and didn't want these yin and yang women to ruin her niece. She instructed Diancui: "Go, call Xue Yan." Then, she said to Jun Linghuan, "Nothing, that aunt is talking nonsense."

When Zhang Guiren heard this title, his face turned green.

Auntie's name is really big. But the concubines and concubines in the palace are only counted in her age. When she gave birth to the second prince, she was in her twenties, and now she is in her forties, and her status is low, which is extremely embarrassing among this group of palace concubines.

Concubine Shu clearly mocked her in a nonchalant manner, but she didn't dare to refute it, so she smirked and pretended not to understand. On the contrary, several young concubines around, gathered together and snickered softly.

Not long after, Dian Cui brought Xue Yan to the apse. Seeing Xue Yanlai, Concubine Shu raised her chin lightly, and didn't let him stay under the gaze of concubines and concubines in various palaces for long, and said, "Take Ling Huan out to get some air."

Xue Yan glanced at Jun Linghuan, and saw that the little girl suddenly flashed a pair of big eyes, looking at herself.

"Yes." He responded.

Jun Linghuan quickly followed up happily.

Xue Yan saluted Concubine Shu and the Queen, then turned around and walked out.

After the two walked out of the hall, Jun Linghuan let out a small sigh of relief, raised his head and smiled at Xue Yan, "Thank you, Brother Fifth Prince!"

Xue Yan lowered her head and glanced at her lightly.

Although the little girl is still young, she can still see the shadow of her brother in her appearance. When he smiled at him, he couldn't help but soften his heart, always thinking of Jun Huailang's deep and warm eyes.

"Where do you want to go?" he asked.

Jun Linghuan thought about it, and remembered that the Imperial Garden was always fun. She pulled Xue Yan's sleeve and led him to the Imperial Garden. The Imperial Garden was only a few feet away from the Yongle Palace, and within a moment, the two arrived.

However, in the winter, the grass and trees in the imperial garden withered, and even the small pond with lotus flowers was frozen. It was the first time that Jun Linghuan came to the Imperial Garden in winter, and when she saw the scene in front of her, she let out a disappointed "Huh?"

"It's not like this on weekdays..." she said.

She really regarded Xue Yan as a new friend, and wanted to show him the beautiful scenery she had seen. However, Xue Yan is obviously not a suitable partner. He has no hobby of viewing scenery, and he rarely speaks to others.

Xue Yan didn't answer, and stood aside with little interest.

At this moment, Jun Linghuan suddenly cheered happily: "There are flowers there!"

Xue Yan glanced in the direction she pointed.

Outside the red wall of the Imperial Garden, a dazzling red plum blossoms. Among the red plum trees, there are also palace lanterns hanging little by little, shining brightly with warm yellow light.

"Brother Fifth Prince, I want to go there and see!" Jun Linghuan said.

Xue Yan let out a light hum and followed her.

He didn't have the consciousness of being a friend, and was just under the order of Concubine Shu to help her take care of the child.

Jun Linghuan dragged her new friend with great interest, all the way out of the west corner gate of the Imperial Garden to the edge of the plum blossom forest.

Once there, Jun Linghuan was attracted by the exquisite palace lanterns, and he couldn't even make a sound of exclamation. The Plum Blossom Forest can have an area of ​​several feet in a radius, with a small lake in the middle. In the center of the lake stands a Taihu stone with a height of ten feet. A small pavilion of white jade is carved on top of it, and a particularly gorgeous lamp is hung on the pavilion.

As soon as he saw the lamp, Jun Linghuan was attracted to all of his attention.

"...Wow." After a while, she exclaimed in amazement.

Xue Yanben stood aside, waiting for the little girl to see enough before taking her back. But she didn't think so, but she stood here for a long time, and her mouth that could not stop chatting was quiet for a long time.

Xue Yan lowered his head and glanced at her.

However, he saw that those eyes, which were quite similar to Jun Huailang, reflected the splendor of the palace lanterns, and the original four-fifth image became seven.

Xue Yan was suddenly in a trance.

He suddenly thought for no reason in his heart, this is Jun Huailang's sister.

He raised his head and looked in the direction Jun Linghuan was looking at. The palace lanterns that were originally the same were now different.

The one she was looking at was really pretty.

"Do you want to?" Xue Yan suddenly asked aloud.
