Chapter Thirty-Three
The night is like a curtain.
The wind was calm in Changle Palace, and the few palace ladies did not notice the small conflicts that occurred in Tai Chi Palace, and most of them were already asleep.
Although it is rare to make trouble in the imperial city, it is not impossible. As long as there is no big trouble, it will not make everyone awaken. It is enough to have secret guards to chase and kill people.
Xu Buling traveled through the dark places silently and extremely fast. He just fought and stopped at a touch, but was not injured, but running with all his strength consumed his energy and could not last long.
The pursuers behind can be vaguely seen, among which there are many masters who are better than Xu Buling's light skills, and the distance is gradually getting closer. The secret guards lurking in Changle Palace have not received the message yet, but it will be a matter of time before this continues.
Xu Buling's plan to meet the emperor failed, and the rest was to escape. If he did not force the news about the Dragon Lock Gu and his identity was revealed, he would basically not want to do anything else in the future.
Step on the pedal-
There are about a thousand steps away from the east wall of Changle Palace, and footsteps are coming from around, getting closer and closer.
Xu Buling's eyes showed a little anxiety, glanced around the dense building complex, gritted his teeth, and rushed towards a palace...

The long night is long and the moon is quiet.
In a flash, it was the eighth day of the first lunar month. The atmosphere of the New Year gradually dissipated. The Empress Dowager's bedroom returned to the stagnant pool of water. In the middle of the night, the maids fell asleep.
The Queen Mother lay alone on the phoenix bed covered with a golden silk quilt, staring at the empty room in a daze.
The bedroom is large, with bookshelf on all sides, filled with strange things she likes in her daily life. As the daughter of a noble family, she should not have been addicted to these things, but she became a widow when she entered the palace. The interval between the queen and the queen mother was only a few days away. What could a woman named Miaoling do in a bird cage that she could never walk out?
The Queen Mother couldn't sleep when it was late at night, and always remembered the scenes when she was not married. At that time, she had been wild and wild thinking and did some ridiculous things. After staying in the deep palace for ten years, her playing skills had long been smoothed out. Now the rest is just to find someone to talk to when it was late at night.
Unfortunately, this simple wish is out of reach for the Queen Mother. When she thought of staying alone in this house for the rest of her life, she could not sleep at all the day when her youth died.
There is always a lamp in the bedroom, and the glass, jade and other objects on the shelf are reflected in bright light. There are freshly carved dolls on the table in the distance. There was originally a painting hanging on the wall, but unfortunately it is gone now.
The Queen Mother looked at the empty wall and sighed quietly. After watching the painting for ten years, she suddenly gave it to someone. Now she still has a little regretful feeling... The boy took over the things and did not come to the palace to pay New Year's greetings...
After tossing and turning, the empress dowager not only failed to fall asleep, but instead sweated a little. She raised her hand and lifted the bedding a little, revealing the two golden koi. She turned over and lay on the pillow, squeezing together to show a bit of oppression.
Ruddy.
The Queen Mother groped under the pillow, took out a piece of rice paper, and looked at the handsome lines of handwriting on it in the dim light: "...When autumn comes September 8th, I will kill the flowers after the flowers bloom... Alas~..." After looking at it for a long time, she folded the paper and put it back under the pillow, turned over and continued to look at the table.
After a few times of going back and forth, the Empress Dowager gradually became sleepy and fell into a state of half sleep and half awake.
In a daze, I seemed to see the window opening and fly in alone, but there was no sound.
The queen mother was not only not afraid, but also afraid. After all, she has done too many such nightmares in the past ten years. It is better to dream of scaring her by scaring her than to do nothing.
The black shadow walked straight towards her, moving very quickly, still not making any sound, but his figure was clear.
Wearing tight black clothes, she was covered from head to toe, just like the flower-picking thief in the painting book...
Flower picking thief...
Picking flowers...
!!
The queen mother suddenly woke up, her beautiful eyes opened, her red lips slightly opened and she was about to scream, but her mouth was covered by her big hands and pressed against the pillow.
"Woo...woo..."
The empress dowager struggled violently, her eyes were filled with horror, and she kicked her quilt away. At this time, she didn't notice the scenery that the bellyband could not be covered at all. She raised her hand to slap the man in black, but unfortunately she was caught and pressed to one side.
“Woo…”
"Shhh—it's me, little Buling, don't be afraid..."
A very familiar voice sounded in my ears.
The queen mother was stunned for a moment and saw the flower-picking thief in front of her pulling off the masked black scarf and skin, revealing a gorgeous face.
Xu Bu Ling?!
The Queen Mother blinked her eyes, was a little confused, and then she struggled and twisted even more crazily. The horror in her eyes turned into anger, and a few traces of disappointment and contempt.
In the stormy waves, two golden carp seemed to have lived, and could not cover up the spectacular things below.
Xu Buling didn't know where to look, but he was helpless and forced the empress dowager to whisper:
"Empress Dowager, don't talk, someone chases me, shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
If it were an ordinary woman, she would have been stunned at this time, but the empress dowager was not an ordinary woman. She was able to enter the palace as a queen and was cultivated from childhood to adaptability and calmness. In this thrilling situation, she was highly concentrated.
After hearing Xu Buling's words, the Queen Mother noticed the sound of rapid footsteps coming outside, and the sound of vague speech came from the night:
"Go there?"
"I don't know, don't disturb the Queen Mother..."
"Can this thief escape to the Queen Mother's bedroom?"
"Oh no, go and have a look..."
...
There are many people, and there are familiar voices.
The Empress Dowager was stunned and knew that Xu Buling must have caused a big disaster, so she stopped for a moment.
Xu Buling was anxious and could only speak, "Empress Dowager, don't make a sound, I won't hurt you." Then he ignored it, and directly lifted the bedding and crawled in, burying himself tightly.
"Woo--"
The empress dowager shook her whole body, her eyes were ashamed and anxious without hiding. She wanted to get up but was hugged by Xu Buling. She even wrapped her legs around her, almost touching her, tightly fitting her.
"Shh-Mum, don't talk nonsense..."
"You also know that I am your aunt...Woo--"
