Until the night, he was upset and unable to fall asleep, so he simply went to the quiet lakeside of Qingluyuan. The rainy night released the rare coolness recently. The air was filled with the fragrance of grass and trees after the rain, and the dark clouds gradually dissipated. The bright moon and stars hung in the clear night sky, as clear as washing.

His long gown is light and white with white hair, and his hair is independent of the world, as beautiful as an exiled immortal coming from the Moon Palace.

I was originally thinking in a daze, but suddenly there was a strange sound of grass and trees. It seemed very abrupt in this quiet night, which made him alert and look back: "Who!"

The sound came to an abrupt end, but it could not dispel his doubts. His eyes became sharp, and he walked into the depths of the dense grass step by step, waved his hand hard-

A girl curled up on the ground and shivered suddenly screamed, and the moonlight reflected the fear in her eyes: "Ah!...Don't kill me, don't kill me!... Please don't kill me..."

He was stunned, calmed down his thoughts and said, "I can't kill you, but you have to tell me who are you?"

She looked at him uneasy: "I... am Du Juan, a palace maid from Liushangzhou..."

"The prince's man?" He browned, thinking that this matter seemed a little interesting.

"Then why are you here?" Feng Qiwu stared at her sharply and viciously like a wolf treating her prey. Through observation, he found that the girl's whole body was wet and her hair was scattered, as if she was deliberately hiding here, "Someone wants to kill you?"

She clamped her arms tightly, clenched her fists on her lips and focused her head heavily.

"Who wants to kill you? Is the prince?"

"No... it's the Queen..."

The terrifying scene is still vivid in her mind. She clearly remembered how the eunuch in charge around the queen brought people to pass the order, captured all the palace servants in Liushangzhou, and took them to a place where no one was. She accidentally looked at Xiangzhi's desperate and confused eyes while struggling. She knew it clearly. Thinking of the poor palace servants like Xiangzhi who didn't know why she died until she died, she felt guilty. She should have listened to Xiangzhi's advice. She shouldn't take the risk with Yilan, which caused this murderous disaster, and so many innocent palace servants to be implicated together...

She shed tears of regret, and the feeling of dying when she was strangled by the white silk was panicked, but her survival instinct made her wise in a hurry. She pretended to be suffocating to death. Because she was almost fainting and the situation was realistic, she successfully deceived the execution guards. Although they asked for clean work and threw her and other palace servants into the lake to destroy the body, they finally thankfully that she grew up in a small fishing village by the beach since she was a child, and the water quality was not bad. She quickly regained her consciousness and quietly swam ashore after the guards left.

She was very scared and dared not go anywhere else. She could only hide in the grass and woods by the lake for the time being. When she was hungry, she would use wild fruits to satisfy her hunger. She hoped to survive the wind and wait for the royal family to return to Beijing, and she would find a proper opportunity to escape from the Ganquan Palace, but she would never expect to be discovered by the man in front of her tonight.

Many people were deceived by Feng Qiwu's appearance. They didn't know that he was a man who sniffed roses but had a tiger in his heart. Just tonight, he became interested in this palace maid named Du Juan: "What mistake did you make? Why did the queen kill you?"

Her lips trembled, and her face turned pale by the moonlight: "I...I dare not say..."

His eyes were chilling: "If you don't say it, I will hand you over to the queen to receive a reward!"

"No!" She crawled on the soles of his feet, grabbed the hem of his long gown and begged, very scared, "Don't... I beg you not to tell the queen..."

"Then you have to tell the truth so that I can consider whether to save you." The smile on his lips outlined a touch of evil cunning.

She knew that this situation was already in a dilemma. Although she did not dare to believe this sinister strange man, there was no better way at the moment. She could only make up her mind and bet on fate.
