I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

The night was as dark as ink, and the red bricks and golden tiles of the imperial palace looked particularly solemn and mysterious in the drizzle.

The downpour was wiped away with the last ray of light, leaving only raindrops gently falling, weaving a hazy picture in the night, outlining the outline of the palace vaguely.

Su Minglang watched in the hazy night as the rain gathered into streams and poured down along the palace eaves. The raindrops hit the glazed tiles, making crisp sounds that sounded like the sound of nature echoing in his ears.

The sound of rain and the low sound of bells in the distant palace intertwined, just like Su Minglang's complex and tangled heart at the moment.

In her previous life, she was naive and vulnerable, but she lived an easy life. Even though the last scene was heartbreaking, fortunately, there were moments of ease and comfort in her short life.

After being reborn, she met people she had never met before, witnessed things she didn't understand before, and became even more disgusted with the heartless hearts of the people in the deep palace.

She thought that with her experience from her past life, it would be particularly easy for her to gain a foothold in the palace and even to take revenge. It was not until now that she realized that the harem and the previous dynasty, favor and power had long been intertwined and inseparable.

She remembered that the Su family allowed her to die for the sake of power, but she forgot that it was precisely because of the Su family's power and status that she had the capital to enter the palace and the foundation for her revenge today.

But the Su family was not able to use her, or rather, she was unwilling to associate with them.

Thinking of this, Su Minglang thought about it carefully again. He really couldn't find anyone in the Su family who was worthy of being employed. It was not that the Su family had no talented people for hundreds of years, but that they knew the Su family inside out. Su Minglang was completely desperate about the Su family again.

On the contrary, the Wen family, especially the Queen's younger brother Wen Ji, is a useful person.

Su Minglang held her forehead and sighed slightly. The rain outside the window had been falling all day long. She stared at the rain in a daze, but her thoughts flew away quietly. For a moment, Wen Ji seemed to be standing not far from her, nodding slightly at her.

Su Minglang was suddenly startled by her own thoughts. When she came to her senses, there was no one around her. In the silent room, only the rain hitting the window sills and the flickering candlelight on the table telling her absurd dream talk.

"I really am..." Su Minglang pulled the corner of his mouth and stood up to stretch his body. "It will rain heavily tonight so there won't be any visitors. I can rest for a while."

Su Minglang was just about to give an order when she found that she had already sent her attendants away, not even Xiaoye and Nanxing stayed by her side. Su Minglang recalled the worry in Xiaoye's eyes when he looked at her with a heavy expression and shook her head. She reluctantly walked to the window and gently closed the window frame.

"Swoosh!" A black shadow flashed by and passed through the window frame in an instant.

Su Minglang stood in a daze in front of the window. A few raindrops floated in through the half-open window and fell on her face. Su Minglang was startled and broke out in a cold sweat. Looking back, she saw a leaf dart rubbing her neck and deeply inserted into the wooden beam.

She grabbed Ye Biao and slammed the door open, only to see two or three palace lanterns flickering in the dim distance and nothing else.

The eunuch guarding the gate heard the noise and hurried over to check the situation, but saw Su Minglang with his hair loose and a look of unconcealable fear.

"Madam?" The young eunuch raised the palace lantern and saw that she was staring into the distance. He couldn't help but follow her gaze and look into the distance. "What's wrong with Madam?"

"Is there anything over there? Do you want me to take a look?"

"No need." Su Minglang took a long breath to calm his violently beating heart. He casually sent the eunuch away and turned back to his room, only to find that his knees were sore and weak.

Along with the leaf dart flying into the house was a bamboo letter tube. Su Minglang opened the note in the candlelight and saw a few words written in a messy way inside.

"Tonight at midnight, I will tell you everything I know."

"Li Zhao!" Su Minglang angrily threw Ye Biao to the ground and burned the note. He suddenly breathed out and his trembling heart finally calmed down.

Su Minglang didn't know why she was like this, but she felt that if the person who came was Li Zhao, there would be no threat to harm her.

The rain was still falling outside, but time never stops for anyone. Su Minglang extinguished the candle early to prevent the palace servants passing by from noticing. Since she had given instructions in advance, there were not many people guarding outside her house.

She stroked the leaf dart again and again in the cover of night. It was a sample she had never seen before, but she was just a palace concubine and had never come into contact with many weapons, so it was normal for her to not know much about it.

At least that's how she comforted herself.

The night watch drum sounded at midnight. Su Minglang could hear it more clearly while sitting in the darkness. She was probably the only one in the entire palace who had not fallen asleep yet, except for the patrolling guards.

If it were in the past, Xiao Heng might still be dealing with memorials all night long at this time, but as he and Li became closer, he became more and more slack in handling official business. I'm afraid he is now sleeping with Ruanyu in his arms?

With a crisp "click", a figure disappeared into the night. She nimbly avoided the patrolling guards and walked alone on the silent palace road.

The raindrops fell and soon soaked her clothes. Su Minglang dodged left and right, trying her best to avoid the messy grass. Fortunately, the grass was not lush at this time, but the wet skirt exuded the chill of the night, which had already numb her fingers.

Finally arriving at a familiar place, Su Minglang finally breathed a sigh of relief when looking at the familiar gate. According to various rumors, no one had visited this place for a long time, and even the guards on night patrol would bypass this place and finish their work as soon as possible.

From now on, there is no need to worry anymore. Su Minglang straightened her waist which was sore due to her caution and did not enter through the main gate. There was a broken part on the side of the palace wall. This was the road that Li Zhao had taken when he brought her here.

After finally squeezing in sideways, Su Minglang saw lights flashing in the distance before he had time to rest. He calculated the time and found that it was not yet midnight. Su Minglang gritted his teeth, brushed off the grass leaves on his body, and walked over.

The raindrops suddenly became faster and the ground under her feet became more muddy. Su Minglang walked towards the light with one step deep and one step shallow. When she got closer, she realized that it was not the pavilion where she often talked before, but the shabby house where she and the other girl took shelter from the cold last time.

Su Minglang frowned. The sound of raindrops seemed to suppress the sound of her footsteps. When she approached, the figure also stood up.

Su Minglang felt a little confused and uneasy. Li Zhao had never been so relaxed before. Even if Su Minglang appeared twenty steps away from him, he would instantly stand up and salute. Even though he acted very generous, his tense muscles could not be faked.

How could a martial artist like Li Zhao be so careless that he didn't even notice that he was behind him?
