That night, Ziluan suddenly entered my dream. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

I saw him fly into the sky on a white phoenix beside the glowing lake.

"Ziluan, you come back, don't go!" I shouted as hard as I could, but Ziluan didn't look back. In desperation, I fell into the glowing lake, which instantly turned into a green swamp, and I could not move, but let the swamp swallow me.

Just as I was struggling with the horror of extinction, I suddenly opened my eyes......

The night is not young, everything is still so calm, there is no glowing lake, and I am not dead.

Xiao Chuan asked worriedly, "Sister, what's wrong with you, is it a nightmare?"

I haven't calmed down yet, I'm immersed in fear, what does the dream portend?

"Sister?"

A soft shout interrupted my train of thought, but it didn't dispel my fear. "Xiao Chuan, I'm so flustered. Ziluan, I dreamed of Ziluan. I grabbed Xiao Chuan's hand and said nervously.

"My sister thinks too much, it's just a nightmare. We'll be able to leave the East Palace tomorrow, I think my sister is too excited. ”

After losing her mind for a long time, Xiao Chuan called out to her sister again, I came back to my senses, sighed and said, "I hope I think too much, go to sleep." ”

"Hmm. Xiao Chuan watched worriedly as I fell back to sleep.

However, where do I still have sleep, after so many days with Ziluan, I have long been interested in him, thinking that if I can't find an astrologer, I will never be able to return to my hometown, and it will be good to be with him for the rest of my life. But that dream was so terrible that I didn't dare to look forward to the future, and I just wanted everything to go smoothly tomorrow.

Tonight, the cold moon is like a hook, people and birds are lonely, the autumn wind is desolate, and the autumn leaves are sorrowful. I never thought autumn would come so quickly.

The next day before dawn, I couldn't stand up from my bed. I don't know if Xiao Chuan slept lightly or didn't sleep all night like me, but when I got up, she also sat up from the bed.

"You're awake. I greeted Xiao Chuan.

"My sister hasn't slept all night, how can Xiao Chuan sleep, today's events can be described as extremely dangerous, and the slightest mistake is the crime of punishing the nine clans, Xiao Chuan is uneasy. ”

"yes. I don't know what will happen in the future, so let's take it one step at a time. ”

Xiao Chuan nodded, and looked at the sky again, "Sister will rest again, the autumn day is late, and the time for the prince to go to court is not yet, Zhao Gongzi will not come so early." ”

I shook my head, "Where can I lie down?" Forget it, you rest, I'll sit down again. ”

Xiao Chuan also shook his head and said, "I can't sleep either, I'll get up and see if there's anything else to clean up." ”

"Okay. ”

After Xiao Chuan left, I sat quietly on the bed, watching the morning glow break and the sun rise in the east. I finished freshening up, and Xiao Chuan had already packed up her things and sat at the table with me.

"Sister, where are we going after we leave the East Palace?"

"I want to find the best astrologer in the world. ”

"Why do you want an astrologer?"

I glanced at Xiao Chuan. Maybe it's okay to tell her, but after all, I think it's better to know this kind of thing by myself, and I'm afraid it won't do any good if there are more people who know about it. After thinking about it, he said, "Maybe the astrologer knows my secrets. ”

"Secret ......" Xiao Chuan thought thoughtfully, "Sister is talking about becoming a surrogate marriage? But what does this have to do with the stars? Sister should go to Miss Mingxiu or the Queen Mother." ”

I smiled at Xiao Chuan and said, "It's useless to look for them, do you think, if you do something unseemly, when someone asks you, will you admit it?" Besides, Mingxiu and the queen, one is the prince's favorite person, and the other is the prince's mother, if you go to them, it will not be the same as falling deeper and deeper in this palace." ”

"But why did my sister choose an astrologer?"

"The stars are all-encompassing, and they know everything in the world. The roots of my secret are in it. ”

Xiao Chuan nodded as if he didn't understand.

I looked at the sun, and it was probably not early. When the prince went to court, it was also the time when Ziluan came to save the building, but today Ziluan was a long time late, my expression gradually became solemn, and Xiao Chuan was also nervous, "Zhao Gongzi must have something to delay, sister don't worry, this situation was common in the past." ”

"Ziluan is a trustworthy person, and he hasn't come after all these hours......" I stopped. If it weren't for the fact that I was entangled in government affairs, the matter would have been exposed, or maybe all this would be a situation carefully laid out by the prince, and I could be killed with a word when I escaped from the palace, and then marry back to the real Mingxiu.

"Maybe it's entangled in government affairs. Xiao Chuan nervously took over.

"I hope so. For some reason, the last thought in my mind lingered. If the prince wants to kill me, why bother so much? But if Ziluan really deceived me, would I blame him?

However, everything in the world is impermanent, joys and sorrows are separated, and when will prevail over providence. So far, it is no wonder that he is useless, maybe it is all due to providence.

Just as Xiao Chuan was anxiously pacing back and forth in the house, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the building, from far and near. The heart still involuntarily tensed. Ziluan would not have come so vigorously. If it weren't for Concubine Li or the crown princess, then there would only be the crown prince.

What awaits me? If all hope is lost, how much can I recover?

Ziluan, where are you, are you okay now?
