Chapter 605 Eyes Hidden In The Dark
Liu Sanniang nodded slightly in response to Xian Fei.
Xian Fei lived in the Xianhe Palace. The palace was huge and gorgeous. Entering the door, there were flowers and trees flourishing on both sides. When the palace servants saw Xian Fei return, they lowered their heads and bowed.
Xian Fei instructed majestically. “This is Miss Liu. She is a very important guest. Bai Yu and Bai Xue, take Miss Liu to the side hall. You two will serve her for the time being. It’s getting late today. Tidy up the room and let Miss Liu rest early.”
The two palace maids replied. “Yes.”
Xian Fei smiled at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, it’s already late today. Go to bed early.”
Liu Sanniang nodded. She and Chu Yan followed the palace maids to the side hall. There was everything in the hall. After Liu Sanniang washed up, she sent a message to Liu Yuanyuan and Hu Yu.
The emperor said that there seemed to be a pair of eyes watching him in the dark. Perhaps, the emperor was not the only one being watched.
Who did this pair of eyes belong to?
The palace maids retreated outside. There was only one bed in the room.
Chu Yan opened the window to take a look. Liu Sanniang walked over. Before she could speak, she felt someone looking at her. She frowned. “Do you feel it?”
Chu Yan looked in a certain direction in the sky and said coldly, “Just a rat in the gutter.”
Liu Sanniang was stunned. Although Chu Yan was very blunt, she felt that his description made sense. Spying on others in the dark was akin to the behavior of a rat in the gutter.
Chu Yan looked at Liu Sanniang with a gentle smile and said gently, “Go to sleep. I’ll watch over you.”
Liu Sanniang pulled Chu Yan’s hand. “You should be tired too. Although there’s only one bed, it’s enough for the two of us.”
After Liu Sanniang finished speaking, her face was already red. She immediately regretted saying that, but just as she was about to go back on her word, Chu Yan had already laid down.
Liu Sanniang was speechless.
What had she remembered so far?
He had always thought that love and desire should be separated, but it seemed that they could no Chu Yan gently reached out and pulled her into his arms. He said in a low voice, “Be good and sleep well.”
When Liu Sanniang heard this, she really did not speak or move.
She could still feel that the eyes staring at her in the dark were filled with viciousness. If the eyes could speak, they would probably be full of dirty words.
However, other than staring, there was nothing else that the eyes could do. Liu Sanniang quickly fell asleep, but Chu Yan opened his eyes and reached out to grab something before tossing it away. Immediately, the feeling of being stared at disappeared.
Chu Yan looked at Liu Sanniang’s sleeping face. His black eyes were like an ancient well, deep and bottomless.
The woman in his arms was completely different from what he remembered, but it was still her. As she became stronger and stronger, those memories would become clearer and clearer.
What had she remembered so far?
He had always thought that love and desire should be separated, but it seemed that they could no longer be separated because love derived from desire.
Early in the morning, Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan got up to wash up.
Chu Yan did not follow Liu Sanniang. Instead, he hid in the dark to protect her.
Liu Sanniang went to the main hall of the Xianhe Palace. Bai Yu and Bai Xue followed Liu Sanniang closely behind. Bai Yu smiled and said, “Miss Liu, the Xianhe Palace is very lively today. Before dawn, a few consorts came to greet Consort Xian Fei.”
However, in fact, they were here to see Liu Sanniang.
Liu Sanniang smiled faintly.
When Liu Sanniang entered the main hall, Xian Fei stood up and said with a smile,. “Miss Liu, you’re here. Take a seat.”
There was an empty seat beside Xian Fei’s seat. It was reserved for Liu Sanniang.
Liu Sanniang walked over and sat down. Xian Fei said, “Now that Miss Liu is here, if you have anything to say, just say it. Of course, if you don’t believe in Miss Liu’s ability, you can try.”
There were six or seven consorts who had come over.
They were all sizing up Liu Sanniang.
After Xian Fei spoke, someone said, “Since Xian Fei has said so, let’s get straight to the point. Consort Li Bin and I are the first to feel strange, right? We told others about it, but they all said that we’re overthinking it.”
Consort Li Bin nodded. “Yu Bin is right.”
Yu Bin continued. “On the 25th of December, I was about to fall asleep when I suddenly woke up in fright. I felt as if someone was staring at me and was standing in front of me, but I couldn’t see him. Although I didn’t have this feeling for long, I still remember it vividly.”
“I asked the maids to quickly light the candles. Even if the maids stayed with me all night, I still couldn’t fall asleep. Sister Li Pin’s residence was next to mine. The maids saw that I couldn’t sleep and said that Sister Li Pin couldn’t sleep either because her room was also brightly lit. They asked me if I wanted to go over.”
When Yu Bin thought of the feeling of being stared at, she felt a little scared. Only by experiencing it oneself, could one understand that feeling.
Li Bin said, “Yes, at that time, I also felt that someone was looking at me. I woke up and couldn’t fall asleep, so I asked the maids to light the lamp. Not long after, Sister Yu Bin came over. We live close to each other, so we chatted for a while. After I told her that I had the same feeling, Sister Yu Bin was so scared that she cried.”
The two of them thought that their places were haunted. Although the two of them were surrounded by their maids, they still felt terrified.
Fortunately, they did not experience the same again after that.
However, it was still terrifying when they recalled that experience.
After saying that, Yu Bin and Li Pin looked at Liu Sanniang, waiting for an answer.
After listening to them, Liu Sanniang’s expression was still calm. Since she had also experienced it before, she knew what it felt like.
“I felt it on the night of the new year. I can’t describe that feeling. Just like Li Bin and Yu bin, other than fear, I couldn’t feel anything else,” the woman at the end said.
Xian Fei drank her tea and couldn’t help but look at Liu Sanniang from the corner of her eye, as if she was waiting for her to say something.
Liu Sanniang looked at Yu Bin and said slowly, “There’s a wisp of black aura on you. This aura is like a mark, following you everywhere. It’s also present on Consort Li Bin.”
