Chapter 2: Two leaves linger on both branches, and the veins are as messy as silk

【12】

After a long time, Tsinghua University began to get restless.

Zong Ji and the others couldn't sit still, so they simply complained: "Why haven't the little princess been there for so long but still not back?"

"That's right, the Seventh Princess doesn't know where she went."

"Oh no one talks with us anymore, I'm so bored!"

Lan Ying smiled and spoke softly, "Don't worry, all noble ladies, the little princess must have something to deal with and will be back soon."

You Zongji felt even more strange: "What's the important thing about this night? If not, let's go find her!"

"Okay, okay! Let's go too!" As soon as she stood up, Yan Ruoyu got involved, "It just so happened that I still want to see the night scenery in this mansion!"

Yuan Xiaoqin shook the round fan softly: "Yes, eating and drinking here is not only full of energy, but also a little drunk. It is better to go for a walk, which can both see the scenery and sober up the food and drink. Why not do it?"

Lan Ying was entrusted by Youmeng and could not leave Tsinghua University, so she could only try to comfort her: "Girls, please be careful, don't be impatient, you are not familiar with the mansion. When the little princess comes back, wouldn't it be better for her to lead you to the garden to enjoy the scenery?"

"Lan Ying, aren't you Youmeng's close friend?" A Zong Ji looked at her with a half-smile, "Anyway, you have been living here. You must be familiar with the roads everywhere in the mansion. Why don't you take us there?"

Lan Ying was very embarrassed: "This..."

They couldn't let her push her away again and pulled her away: "What are you hesitating about? Come here quickly, don't let everyone down."

Lan Ying was in trouble, but she was dragged away by several of their celebrities.

The investigation on Youmeng's side was deadlocked and there was no way to make progress. Several people walked along the path outside the garden wall. Xingsu suggested: "I will go to the neglected defense points first and then check it out. Maybe there will be some traces left that we have not discovered."

Youmeng felt it was reasonable: "Okay, then be careful."

There was no clue at the moment, and Youmeng also had a premonition that she could not leave the guests there for too long, so she wanted to take Guyu and Xiao Pengzi back to Tsinghuatai, but at this moment a servant rushed to the scene: "Oh, princess, Mr. Liyou has found it!"

Youmeng was surprised and said: "Where is he?"

The attendant said in a panic: "The young master was found fainted on the side of the small road in the garden."

"What's going on?" Youmeng's heart suddenly tightened, "It doesn't matter, is it?"

The attendant said, "The person is still good, but he is dizzy and can't wake up..."

"Let's go and have a look!" Youmeng made a decision, but did not forget to turn around and instruct, "Guyu, go and ask the imperial doctor!"

"No." Gu Yu jogged in a whistle.

The little eunuch led the way in front, and Youmeng took Xiao Pengzi to hurry up and walked a short walk on Baihuaxiang Path. Because the surroundings were too quiet, the "gudong" sound was particularly obvious in the silent night.

"What sound?" Youmeng stopped suddenly and hesitated, "Did you hear it? There seemed to be a sound of water just now?"

Xiao Pengzi raised his eyes to observe the terrain and realized something: "Back to the princess, behind this forest is Yaolin Pond, there is a hot spring there, and it is not surprising that it makes the sound of water."

Youmeng couldn't dispel his doubts: "Yao Linchi? Have Commander Lu brought people to see it?"

"It must have been." Xiao Benzi thought about it and smiled distractedly, "But the Tang Mu there is open air, and there are only a few pavilions for people to rest around, which are rarely covered and cannot hide people."

But Youmeng felt that the sound just now was too strange and it was unusual to hear it, so she turned and walked straight through the forest to outside Tangmu, Yaolin Chi. The bamboo door was not closed, only a curtain was hung. Youmeng lifted it up and looked inside. There were winter melon lanterns hanging on the eaves of the pavilions, illuminating everything in Tangmu. The small bridge was winding with several pools, the hot spring was filled with smoke and steam, and the rocks were rugged and abrupt, and they were all exposed to her vision at this moment.

Xiao Benzi advised: "Princess, look, I said there is no way to hide people at all. Let's go and see Mr. Liyou quickly?"

There was a strong premonition, and Youmeng's feet were about to enter. She said, "You can stay here first, I'll go in and take a look and then go back."

After saying that, Youmeng entered Tang Mu alone. She passed by the pavilions one by one, and walked deeper and deeper, and the smoke gradually became thicker.

People who are sensitive by nature often have accurate intuition. She walked up to the stone bridge with her skirt. When she just landed by a pool, she raised her eyes inadvertently and suddenly ran into a figure standing in the pool water, which almost scared her to death!

She could instinctively cover her mouth, calmed down through the fog, and looked at it carefully. Standing in the middle of the water, there was a naked man with black hair dissipated. At this moment, she was as unexpected as her and full of shock.
