As the night fell, the summer wood outside the window was shrouded in inky shadows, standing silently, the bright moonlight gently spreading down like a veil, glowing with a gentle and quiet light, occasionally falling to the ground through the leaves, shining with a little bit of light.

Xu Chengjun sat calmly in front of the dressing table, and Xingchun removed the hairpin ring for her, when a cloud of hair fell, Xingchun took the comb with her hand, stroked her hair with her left hand, and carefully combed her hair with her right hand little by little.

only heard the sound of the comb lightly touching the dresser, Xu Chengjun raised his hand and stroked his sideburns, did not look back, just looked at himself lightly through the mirror and said, "You are also tired, go back and rest." ”

Xingchun raised her head slightly when she heard this, and her careful and simple eyes seemed to move, as if she had something to say, but in the silence, the girl behind her lowered her head again, respectfully and obediently.

"My sister also rests early, and if there is anything, she will call me. ”

Hearing Xingchun's words, the woman in front of the dressing table just turned her back and lightly nodded her chin, Xingchun didn't say anything more when she saw this, and instead retreated outside.

"Whoa—"

Listening to the soft sound of the Xiangfei bamboo curtain, Xingchun lifted half of the curtain hanging in front of her and slowly walked away.

"Xingchun—"

The woman's voice suddenly sounded behind her, faintly, as if she was still in a bit of a hurry.

Xingchun's figure paused slightly, then turned around, and saw Xu Chengjun, who was sitting in front of the mirror, finally slowly turned sideways, his face was indescribably complicated.

"Are you afraid today?"

Hearing Xu Chengjun's inquiry, Xingchun's hand stiffened slightly, and he couldn't help lowering his head, biting his lip, and finally trying to spit out a word.

"I'm afraid—"

Looking at the hesitant and timid girl in front of him, Xu Chengjun's eyes finally showed a kind and sincere smile.

"Come on. ”

Seeing Xu Chengjun beckoning to her, Xingchun stepped forward without hesitation, Fang squatted beside Xu Chengjun, and the next moment, her hand was wrapped in another gentle and familiar hand.

"Then you, hate me for pulling you in. ”

Hearing this, Xingchun raised her head almost instantly, but saw that the gentle sister in front of her was just looking at her guiltily and bitterly, her heart was slightly touched, and she immediately shook her head and said, "Don't hate, Xingchun doesn't hate my sister." ”

"Why?"

Hearing this answer, Xu Chengjun frowned as if he couldn't accept it, and looked at the little girl in front of him fixedly.

Feeling Xu Chengjun's somewhat stiff hands, Xingchun lowered his head, and boldly wrapped Xu Chengjun's hands with his backhand, feeling Xu Chengjun's surprise, Xingchun slowly raised his head, a pair of simple and timid eyes were full of closeness and love at the moment.

"Back then, Xingchun was just the lowest palace maid in this palace, no one liked me, and no one treated me sincerely, I would only be bullied and ridiculed every day, and I would never fit in. Later, Father-in-law Ming seemed to be good to me, and the people around me didn't dare to treat me like before, but I knew that Father-in-law Ming was good to me, but he just wanted me to be the right food, and he just wanted me to be practiced by him. Only my sister—"

Speaking of this, Xingchun lowered her head slightly, as if she had fallen into a memory, and her watery eyes gradually reddened, moistening little by little.

"My sister is the first person to help me in this palace, and the first person to treat me well, Xingchun Yue Jue, I have always regarded you as my own sister, my sister was born in everyone, my sister's heart is bitter, Xingchun knows, Xingchun wants to do something for my sister, but Xingchun is just a little Gong'e, and now I can help my sister, Xingchun is willing, Xingchun never resents my sister, I didn't in the past, I won't now, I won't in the future, I won't in this life. ”

In the end, the girl in front of her raised her head, her tearful eyes were full of determination, which shocked Xu Chengjun at this moment.

In the silence, the night insects outside the window were still moaning in the corner, Xu Chengjun looked at the little girl in front of him quietly, and the tears that had not fallen for a long time were snatched down from his eyes.

The next moment, when Xingchun was still crying faintly, Xu Chengjun leaned over slightly, took Xingchun into his arms, Xingchun's body shook slightly, gradually relaxed, and wrapped his backhand around the woman's slender waist, smelling the faint pandan smell, and only felt relieved that he had never felt before.

"Silly girl, you stupid girl. ”

Xu Chengjun leaned his head on the girl's ear, choked up in his words, and didn't know if it was Xingchun or the person next to him.

Little by little, the warm tears slipped down her fair cheeks, gradually turning cold.

Xu Chengjun slowly closed his eyes, trying to suppress his trembling body, as if he was experiencing some more pain.

In the past, she was also like Xingchun, but she was also a simple girl who leaned on her mother's arms, coquettish and disgusted, and at that time she also fantasized about her future lover, and the splendid future.

But now, she gradually found that she seemed to have become a person like Xiao Yan, the king of Luo.

In the same way, for the sake of oneself, you can use anyone by any means.

Even if it's that simple apricot spring.

She is very aware of the thrill of today's events, so she will let Xingchun take the risk, because she has already thought that even if she is discovered, with Xingchun's gratitude and closeness to her, Xingchun will not hesitate to take everything on herself, and will never involve her.

Once she was just a kind of charity to the weak in her habit, as simple as gently brushing away the ashes on the strings, but Xingchun regarded all this as something to be repaid with her life.

Later, she was also moved by Xingchun, and many times, she really regarded Xingchun as a sister.

But all the way to the present, Xingchun's feelings for her have not changed, and she is still so simple without a trace of impurities, and her sisterly love for Xingchun has been unconsciously infected with interests and calculations.

……

"Xiao Yan didn't make the slightest move?"

Gu Yanling frowned slightly, and for some reason in her heart, she always felt a little strange.

Xiao Yi saw Gu Yanling's concern, and his eyes were also covered with a layer of calmness.

"Mu Zhen and they have been secretly watching the Luo Wangfu, if there is any change, they will come to report, you don't have to worry too much. ”

Hearing Xiao Yi's comfort, Gu Yanling nodded.

That's all it can be.

"What happened in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"

Hearing Gu Yanling's inquiry, Xiao Yitan held Gu Yanling in his hand and said, "Everything is arranged, as for Xie Yun's side, when Mrs. Cui is buried the day after tomorrow, he will leave for Jiangsu and Zhejiang." ”

Gu Yanling's eyebrows eased a little when he saw this, and when he looked down and saw his lower abdomen that was becoming more and more protruding, his eyes gradually became darker.

This time, she wants to take advantage of the situation and completely drive Xiao Yan out of the capital.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Yuan's burial, and it seemed that even the heavens felt this sadness on that day, with continuous clouds and a slight drizzle falling down, between heaven and earth, depressed and desolate.

And this day has also become the real farewell between Cui Fu and Yuan.
