The sun rises and the moon sets, and horses pass by the window.
Today is the seventh day of October, three days before the Lantern Festival.
Beirong, Royal Palace, Leopard Tail Hall.
"Back to the Emperor... The Queen said this morning that she was going to practice horse racing... Not long after she entered the Royal Horse Garden, she disappeared..."
The little eunuch lay on the ground in fear and reported the news. Na Sheng was writing documents.
He didn't raise his eyes, just paused his pen and said calmly: "How many times has it been?"
The little eunuch who was kneeling on the ground said cautiously: "Back to...back to...the emperor, this is the fifth time..."
Since the last time the queen suddenly disappeared during her lunch break, today is the fifth time.
The second time I found it in Shentianlou.
Afterwards, the emperor's leader blew up the towering tower, and the explosion shook the entire Star City.
The third time was found at the bottom of a dry well in Leng Palace.
Afterwards, the emperor ordered people to fill in all the dry wells in the cold palace.
The first time I found it was on the plane tree in the Imperial Garden.
Afterwards, the emperor ordered people to cut down all the tall trees in the palace that could hide people.
The emperor's reaction to the queen's disappearance was strange. He didn't punish anyone for the queen's behavior, and he wasn't even angry at all.
Instead, after learning the news, he accurately led people to find the Queen.
Today is the fifth time.
The eunuchs, maids and guards searched for an hour but couldn't find it, so they had no choice but to report it to the emperor.
Na Sheng paused the movement of his hands, stood up, and stretched slowly. "Let's go to the Royal Horse Garden!"

Ye Chuyan was lying in the manger, covered with a thick layer of alfalfa.
Through the gap in the alfalfa grass, she saw the Jedi looking at her with a pair of watery eyes.
Jedi was the brown horse Na Sheng asked her to tame.
She named her "Jedi", which means desperate escape.
Ye Chuyan blinked at the Jedi, as if one person and one horse were in tune with each other. The Jedi immediately raised his head and looked into the distance, no longer looking at Ye Chuyan lying under the alfalfa grass.
Ye Chuyan sighed secretly in his heart.
Jedi is a very humane horse, but unfortunately, it cannot be taken away when escaping.
She was frantically pondering in her mind the clues she had gotten from disappearing in the past few days.
The second time I hid in the Towering Tower was to see what I didn't see the first time, the layout on the other side of the palace.
Finally, it was discovered that outside the back wall of the palace was a medium-sized crater, and inside was a hunting ground.
It is said that Na Sheng kept many man-eating beasts inside. If an ordinary person goes in, he will be torn to pieces and eaten by these beasts within a quarter of an hour at most. The horror is comparable to hell on earth.
The third time he hid in the cold well of the cold palace was to observe whether the side hall of the cold palace in the harem would be noticed.
Finally, it was discovered that there were many cold palaces in the palace. In order to prevent the concubines from cooperating with others in the cold palace, Na Sheng secretly arranged for people to keep an eye on each palace, and no corner was spared.
It is almost impossible to hide in the cold palace and find a chance to escape when the time comes.
The first time I hid in a plane tree was to observe the changing time of the palace guards.
In the end, it was discovered that Na Sheng was too meticulous. The shift change time changed day by day. Na Sheng decided on the spur of the moment how to change the shift. There was no rule at all.
Beirong Palace is on duty, and there is basically no breakthrough.
She was hiding here today. It was during these few horse training sessions that she discovered that the horses in the Royal Horse Garden always only eat the freshest fodder.
When it's time to change the grass, no matter how much grass is left, it must be taken away and replaced with fresh grass.
Every day at midnight, a special palace slave would bring fresh alfalfa in from outside the palace, and at the same time take away the alfalfa that the horse had not finished eating.
It's half an hour until it's time to change the grass.
Today she wore two layers of clothes under her red riding clothes, one layer was as green as alfalfa, and the other layer was as earthy as the wooden boards of the forklift.
Now she was wearing a green suit and hiding under the alfalfa.
Her tentative plan today is to hide under the hay truck and sneak out of the palace.
As long as she could get out of the palace, she could immediately calculate the fastest way out of Star City in her mind.
Ye Chuyan was still thinking frantically about how to escape the city's manhunt when he escaped. When he successfully left the city, the alfalfa was suddenly opened, and the light suddenly became intense.
She subconsciously reached out to cover her eyes, and saw Na Sheng's face through the gap between her fingertips.
Na Sheng was wearing a silver double-breasted Kuiwen robe, with a small silver crown inlaid with jade on his head. He was looking at himself with squinted eyes, and the light waves in his strange-colored eyes were breathtaking.
Ye Chuyan twitched his lips at Na Sheng.
He put down the hand covering his eyes and brushed a few alfalfa strands off his forehead.
"Your Majesty, you are here."
His tone was so relaxed that he seemed to be drinking tea in Fengyi Palace.
Na Sheng did not answer, but smiled half-heartedly, stretched out his right hand and placed it in front of her.
"come out!"
Ye Chuyan glanced at Na Sheng's hand. The knuckles were extremely long and as white as jade carvings. Under the light, the blue veins on the back of the hand could be clearly seen.
She was a little dazed.
She sometimes thought that a ruthless evil spirit like Na Sheng was not human, but when she saw the veins on the back of his hand, she found it a bit incredible that he also had blood.
"Queen, have you had enough fun?"
Ye Chuyan was still looking at Na Sheng's hand blankly, Na Sheng grabbed her arm and pulled her out.
Ye Chuyan was suddenly pulled out of the manger, unable to stand still, and staggered into Na Sheng's arms.
Na Sheng's body temperature made her tremble, and she hurriedly raised her body and took a few steps back.
She adjusted her mood, faced Na Sheng's face, and straightened her expression so that she looked sincere and helpless.
"I've had enough fun, I won't run away anymore. Your Majesty is too smart, no matter how much I try to hide, it's useless."
"I want to go back and tidy up, and prepare to be the Queen of Beirong with peace of mind."
After saying that, he patted the dust on his body, ignored Na Sheng who was standing there and the palace slaves who were kneeling on the ground, and strode away quickly.
Ye Chuyan thought as he walked, starting from today, Na Sheng will definitely strengthen the inspection of all carriages leaving the palace.
It was almost impossible to expect to be taken out of the palace.
What should she do now to escape?
Na Sheng stood there without moving or making a sound. The palace slaves everywhere did not dare to raise their heads.
No one can see what the emperor's expression is at this moment.
After waiting for a long time, everyone let out a sigh of relief when they saw the emperor striding away in black boots made of auspicious clouds.
We found the queen successfully, and there was no danger today, and we saved a small life.
※
On the second day, as soon as Na Sheng came down to court, he saw Ye Chuyan and Dong'er standing at the entrance of Leopard Tail Hall.
She put on light makeup, her black hair was pulled into a bun with a lotus-colored magnolia flower hanging diagonally on it, and she wore a colorful pipa-coloured top and a trailing smoke-colored phoenix skirt.
His whole body was made of ice and jade bones, and I felt pity for him when I saw him.
Seeing Na Sheng approaching, Ye Chuyan hurriedly greeted him and smiled brightly.
"Your Majesty, you have gone to court."
The tone was quite solicitous.
It seems that the queen of a country wants to take the opportunity to please the emperor.
A flash of light flashed in Na Sheng's eyes, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"Ajin, why are you looking for me?"
Ye Chuyan really didn't give up. In order to escape, he was willing to put so much thought into himself.
Are you trying to confuse yourself with beauty?
It's really ridiculous, his Na Sheng never knows what love is, let alone be easily seduced by beauty.
He really wanted to know what other tricks Ye Chuyan could pull off at this point and time.
Ye Chuyan saw the playfulness in Na Sheng's eyes,
She knew clearly that a ruthless and cold-blooded demon would never be easily fooled by flesh and blood.
"Your Majesty, I want to be a queen, so naturally I want to get along well with the emperor."
"I came today to add fragrance to the emperor's red sleeves."
When Na Sheng saw Ye Chuyan's frank and generous words, he couldn't help laughing and walked into the Leopard Tail Hall.
Ye Chuyan closed her eyes and took a breath, then raised her feet and followed him.
Na Sheng sat at the desk and began to read the memorials on the desk, saying nothing.
Ye Chuyan stood aside and studied ink silently.
It's obviously a scene of red sleeves adding fragrance, but the atmosphere is extremely weird.
Neither of them spoke, waiting for the other to speak first.
After a long time, Ye Chuyan said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, I'm tired, can I take a rest?"
Na Sheng did not raise his head and whispered "hmm".
Ye Chuyan rubbed his right wrist with his left hand, walked back and forth a few steps, looked up and saw the bookshelf full of books behind Na Sheng's copywriting, and sighed:
"Your Majesty, you have books here that are not available in the library. Can I borrow them and read them?"
Na Sheng raised his lips and smiled.
Now that you're here, is your purpose revealed so easily?
"If the queen likes any book, just take it."
Ye Chuyan cast a grateful look at Na Sheng.
He slowly walked to the bookshelf and began to read the books on it.
She flipped through several books, but seemed to be uninterested. Finally, she took out a copy of "Na History" and held it in front of Na Sheng, looking at him longingly.
"Would this have been okay?"
Na Sheng glanced at the book. It was the entire history of the Beirong Royal Na clan from the founding of the dynasty to the present.
There are many records of secret things in it. If one of them is spread out at random, it will be enough to shock the whole Beirong.
He pulled Ye Chuyan into his arms and looked at Ye Chuyan with narrowed eyes.
Ye Chuyan lay obediently in his arms, not disturbed at all, and met his eyes head on.
Na Sheng saw his own face in Ye Chuyan's eyes.
There was unnoticeable joy on his face. He was suddenly startled and quickly regained his composure.
He gently rubbed Ye Chuyan's delicate lips with his fingers and said slowly: "Do you want to know the history of that family?"
Intending to find the secrets in Na's secret history that could threaten him.
Ye Chuyan nodded.
"I am a queen, shouldn't I understand the history of the Na clan?"
It's a matter of course, without any selfish intentions.
When Na Sheng saw Ye Chuyan speaking so eloquently, his ghostly eyes wavered slightly.
He leaned forward to kiss Ye Chuyan, but Ye Chuyan subconsciously turned her head, and Na Sheng's face stopped just before it was about to touch hers.
Ye Chuyan's heart was beating fast. She knew she shouldn't hide, but she really couldn't accept it and didn't like it.
She could clearly feel Na Sheng's breath and the smell of ambergris on his body.
During this period, Na Sheng did not kill anyone at will. The faint smell of blood on his body disappeared, leaving only the smell of ambergris.
This smell made her particularly uncomfortable, always reminding her of the supreme imperial power and oppression.
Unlike the smell of agarwood on Wu Mu's body, it makes people feel comfortable and peaceful.
Na Sheng saw Ye Chuyan's expression changing instantly, from mild panic to a little helpless in the end.
He chuckled.
"Ajin, you are so insincere and fake today. Isn't it too perfunctory?"
Ye Chuyan turned his head to face Na Sheng and sighed.
"If the emperor doesn't want me to borrow books, forget it. Why are you saying these useless words?"
Na Sheng slowly caressed her cheek with his hand and whispered word by word: "The Lantern Festival is over, and we will arrange for you to sleep in the Jingsi Room."
"After I go to bed, you can read all the books in Leopard Tail Hall as you like."
By then Ye Chuyan will be the real Queen Beirong.
Ye Chuyan was suddenly shocked. Na Sheng really didn't follow the rules.
The emperor's marriage was a big event, and a grand wedding ceremony for the emperor and his empress would be held before the bridal chamber.
Na Sheng took over the wedding process for the first time.
Seeing that Ye Chuyan's face was a little pale, Na Sheng laughed happily.
He let go of Ye Chuyan, and Ye Chuyan immediately ran out of the Leopard Tail Hall in a panic.
Ye Chuyan hurried back to Fengyi Palace with Dong'er. After dispersing everyone, she sat alone at the table.
There was no longer the panic on his face, but joy and excitement.
Success!
She succeeded!
She found a way to escape!
In two days, whether it will succeed or not depends on this!
