Although Shunfei Xinqing in Yonghe Palace does not have to sleep in the open like those soldiers, she is not as relaxed as these people.

When the two children arrived at Yonghe Palace, she asked the children to sleep in the small bed.

Like before, she moved a chair and sat by the bed. There was only a candlestick left in the palace. She embroidered a handkerchief in her hand with the flashing candlelight. After embroidering for a while, her eyes became sore and the needle became astringent. She put down the needle and thread and rubbed her eyes, took a sip of tea, and continued.

The palace maid Yilan, who was with her, curled up at her feet and dozed off.

I woke up suddenly, opened my eyes and saw that it was pitch black outside.

It's already past midnight.

He looked up at Concubine Shun again and said softly: "Empress, are you not sleeping?"

Concubine Shun looked down at her and smiled and said, "I am not sleepy."

"But, but you haven't slept at all these days. How can your body bear it if you continue like this?"

“…”

"You've been sick but haven't recovered?"

Concubine Shun smiled, reached out and pointed her forehead, and said with a smile: "I am fine, don't yell, be careful to wake up the princess and the King of Han."

Yilan wanted to speak but stopped. After struggling for a long time, he lowered his voice and said softly: "Empress, just sleep for a while."

Concubine Shun shook her head: "I can't sleep."

“…”

“Besides it”

She said, then looked up at the outside again.

This night is not very quiet.

Although she rarely stayed up late, for her, the night was quiet, and the blink of an eye passed in her quiet dreamland, but in the past few days, she realized that the night was long and sometimes it was not very quiet.

Especially this night, she looked at the shadow of the trees reflected on the windows, swaying constantly as the night wind blew.

It was in a daze, like millions of figures shaking.

There is also a little restless noise in the wind.

Yilan asked, "Empress, what's wrong?"

Concubine Shun was quiet for a while, and then said, "It's nothing. Just go to bed when you are sleepy. I will be finished with a few more needles."

Seeing her like this, Yilan had no choice but to get up and pour a cup of tea, and put it to her hand. Then she curled up at her feet, dozing off her head bit by bit.

At the gate of the palace, several patrol soldiers were also pulled by Li Quan and sat at the small table. The hustle and bustle of the style tonight was a bit boring. Drinking a little wine is the easiest way to spend the long night.

After a while, a pot of wine had already reached the bottom.

Those two eunuchs also lean on me, and I lean on you, talking with my tongue, almost without any regularity.

Li Quan said: "I have another household over there, which has been treasured for a long time. Do you want to try it?"

Several personal soldiers guarding the gate hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement. Li Quan immediately ran over and brought another pot of wine. Several people pushed the glasses and drank for a while, their faces flushed.

One of them said, "You guys say, what's going to happen tonight? Lord Ying transferred so many people out of the palace and went to defend the city."

Li Quan listened, calmly, and only picked peanuts and ate them.

Another personal soldier said: "It seems that there is something going on outside the city."

"We won't have any trouble here, right?"

"That's a matter outside the city. Lord Luo and Lord Jiang will deal with it. What does it have to do with us?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Quan's mouth.

He immediately raised his glass and said, "That's right, it has nothing to do with us. Drink, drink quickly!"

So everyone started drinking again.

This night is particularly long.

For the soldiers guarding the city, every gust of wind blew over, it was like a sharp blade that split their dreams, but after waking up, there was still endless darkness and dullness around them.

Concubine Shun in Yonghe Palace was embroidered with stitches and threads.

It seems like there is no end forever.

However, when her eyes were blurred and almost impossible to see clearly, the endless silk thread had already been embroidered at the end of the needle, and a cluster of lotus leaves and lotus flowers connected to the handkerchief, which was lifelike.

She put down the needle and thread, rubbed her eyes, and looked at it carefully for a while.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, the candlelight on the table shook slightly, and finally burned to the end, and suddenly it went out with a sound.

Nanyan raised her head and looked around.

Some ministers could no longer hold on to close their eyes and rest, but their uncle Gu Tingqiu still took a few ministers to continue sorting out documents. Some old incidents that had been accumulated for a long time were actually not impossible to solve. It was just that the big things were in front of us and we had no energy to deal with them. However, they were all solved that night.

Seeing them like this, Nan Yan showed a faint smile.

She turned around and saw Zhu Chengxuan sitting beside him. He was obviously sleepy, but he kept rubbing his nose and eyes, trying to make himself more awake.

Nan Yan asked, "When is it?"

As soon as Zhu Chengxuan heard her voice, he immediately said, "It's almost time for Mao."

"It's almost time for Mao?"

Nan Yan was stunned for a moment.

Didn’t Luo Qitong say before that something might happen tonight?

Of course, it was not Luo Qitong who said that even if he didn't say it, Nan Yan himself predicted that on the third day of closing the nine gates inside and outside, something would definitely happen to the city or outside. After all, the other party finally stabbed Zhu Feng, and when this opportunity came, it would not be lost in vain.

However, they were more alert and kept their eyes closed all night.

But nothing happened.

Outside the window, there was only the noisy wind blew from time to time, and nothing except the sound of the wind.

And as soon as the hour of Mao passed, the sky was about to dawn.

According to the rules, the palace gate must be opened so that these courtiers who have not returned home for several days and nights will be returned home.

But, isn't anything really happening?

Nan Yan frowned and immediately stood up from the chair, but when he got up, he was a little dizzy. The people shook a little, and Ruoshui and the others hurried over to support her. Nan Yan waved his hand and turned around and walked out of Wuying Palace.

As soon as the door opened, a cold wind blew.

Nanyan looked up at the sky. Although it was still pitch black around, there seemed to be a little light, dizzying in the zenith through the deep night.

It's really dawn.

But the entire capital seemed to have only the sound of the wind and nothing else.

Really, nothing happened.

Could it be that they had made the wrong prediction?

No one from the Kingdom and the Earth Immortal Society took action?

She frowned and stood at the door for a long time. At this time, Yan Gu and the others' voices came from the hall behind her.

"Imperial Concubine, it's getting late."

Nan Yan frowned slightly and turned around.
