The sky gradually darkened. In the temple, the monk who rang the bell finished the last bell. The sky was as dark as ink, and the rain was hitting the bushes, emitting a fragrant soil smell.
Shen Yue sat at the table and put down the book in her hand. She rubbed her eyes and seemed to be a little sleepy. The maid beside her asked, “Miss, are you going to rest?”
Shen Yue did not speak and opened the window. The person living next door was Shen Qing. Shen Qing’s room was not far from hers and was still lit.
“Second Miss, do you want to sleep with First Miss?” The maid asked hesitantly.
“No.” Shen Yue turned around in disgust. “Go and close the courtyard door.”
On the other side, in Shen Qing’s room, Shen Qing was playing with the things in her hand. She yawned lazily and looked outside. “It’s already so late,” she stood up, saying,” I should probably rest. ”
When she passed by the table, she suddenly saw a unique incense burner and an incense stick. Shen Qing picked it up and smelled it. She felt that it was fragrant and said, “Light this incense stick too.”
After a while, the lights in the room went out.
Everything fell silent. It was quiet at night in the temple deep in the mountains. Other than the sound of birds chirping and insects, there was only the crisp sound of rain hitting the tiles and dripping down the roof.
In the extreme silence, the lights of the rooms in the north pavilion were quietly extinguished.
In the darkness, there seemed to be the sound of someone’s footsteps approaching. At this moment, if someone passed by, they would see a girl in purple sitting at the table by the window. Her face was cold and expressionless, and only her eyes were clear in the night.
There seemed to be some movements on the tiles of the roof. Gu Yu and Jingzhe, who were standing behind Shen Miao, looked up at the same time and were immediately vigilant.
A moment later, a meow came from outside the window.
……
The two of them heaved a sigh of relief.
However, before they could feel relieved, they heard hurried footsteps again. Then, the window was opened and a figure jumped in.
“Miss, it’s me, Mo Qing,” the person said softly.
Only then did Gu Yu and Jingzhe heave a sigh of relief. Jingzhe lit a thin candle, afraid that the light would shine outside. At first glance, they were very surprised to see that there was someone on Mo Qing’s back. It was none other than Shen Qing.
At this moment, Shen Qing’s eyes were tightly shut, looking like she was in a deep sleep. Jingzhe and Gu Yu were both terrified, but Shen Miao glanced at Shen Qing and said indifferently, “You did well.”
Mo Qing looked a little embarrassed. This was the first time he had done such a thing. He did not know what Shen Miao was planning to do. He only thought that it was probably because Shen Miao was unsatisfied with the room she lived in and wanted to change it secretly in the middle of the night. However, if he was careless and was found out, he would be treated as a rapist.
Fortunately, there were only two guards outside Shen Qing and Shen Yue’s house. Before that, he followed Shen Miao’s instructions and mixed something into Shen Qing’s incense to make her sleep soundly.
“Carry her to the bed,” Shen Miao said.
