The candle flame in the house seemed to be much darker, the breeze blew the night in, only to see the candle flame began to flicker and shake, at this moment, the heavy fog seemed to be shrouded in that way, the girl stood there quietly, as if all the life was sucked away, the side face was submerged in the shadows, the face seemed to be whiter as snow porcelain, although beautiful but let people gradually feel cold.

In the silence, the girl's hands gradually clenched together, and the corners of her lips hooked up little by little, empty and ethereal.

Why.

Why should she take away even the last bit of hope in her life?

The girl's laughter gradually became clear, but it was empty and desolate, and the next moment, the girl's originally clenched left hand suddenly brushed towards the tea set on the case, and the cold in her eyes was about to lift, but at the moment when the cups collided, the girl's hand stopped in the air, touching the outer wall of the teacup with her fingertips, the girl seemed to remember something, quietly closed the corners of her eyes, and the tall body fell and sat back weakly.

After all, she's just a slave.

How could someone like Xie marry her.

The girl snorted softly, as if she was laughing at herself, but also as if she was really funny.

Smiling and laughing, a drop of warmth gradually fell from his eyes, slid down his cheeks little by little, and gradually became cold.

At this moment, the night is really as cold as water.

Xu Chengjun sat there motionless, except for the tears that slowly dried up, she seemed to have forgotten what expression to use.

Just as the cold wind blew into the house little by little, as the curtain sounded softly, the soft curtain that had been silent suddenly moved, and then the sound of the soft curtain being gently lifted could be heard, breaking the silence in the room.

Xu Chengjun frowned, the moment she opened her eyes, her eyes were full of boredom, and when her eyes touched the person behind the curtain, she was stunned for a moment.

But it was only a moment, Xu Chengjun got up indifferently, put away the coldness in his eyes, lowered his eyebrows, and bowed respectfully but not humbly.

"Lord Luo. ”

Xiao Yan was lightly dressed in the moonlight, his expression was as close and easy-going as ever, and he raised his hand without the slightest scare and said with a smile: "Miss Xu, please get up." ”

Seeing that the seemingly quiet but actually defensive figure in front of him slowly got up, Xiao Yan's eyes floated a more leisurely smile, and he walked casually towards the place where the girl was sitting, as if he didn't see the mess on the ground, and sat down leisurely.

"Miss Xu also sat down. ”

Hearing this, the girl who was originally on her back turned around indifferently, looked at Xiao Yan who was sitting there, took a few steps forward, lowered her eyes respectfully, and the shadow of her eyelashes covered the girl's gaze at this time, but even so, she could hear a little coldness and reminder from the girl's seemingly respectful words

"The night is getting darker, I don't know what Lord Luo wants to order, but I ask you to come to this small place of slaves and maids in person. ”

Xiao Yan smiled when he heard this, but he didn't reply a word, but Xian'er saw a copy of "The Book of Tea" in his hand, so he picked it up unhurriedly, flipped it over: "No wonder every time I go to Qianhe Palace and drink Miss Xu's tea, I feel that the tea in my house is difficult to eat. ”

Hearing this, the girl under the seat did not move at all, that is, she didn't even reply, if she was in the eyes of others, she was afraid that she would already be angry, but Xiao Yan didn't care much, but looked at the figure with a little arrogance with a smile, and asked rhetorically: "It seems that you don't like this king's uninvited coming." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Chengjun finally moved slightly, although he didn't raise his head, he lowered his eyebrows more respectfully and said, "The slave is panicked-"

"Then please take a seat. ”

Before Xu Chengjun finished speaking, he was interrupted by the man's easy-going voice, and when he raised his eyes, he was facing Xiao Yan's gentle eyes, but Xu Chengjun saw an undoubted meaning in it.

At this moment, the room seemed to be frozen, and the two looked at each other quietly, seemingly calm, but like a rapids under the ice.

After a long time, the corners of Xu Chengjun's lips hooked up an unknown arc, and he suddenly got up calmly, completely losing his cautious appearance, and turned to sit down in the position separated from Xiao Yan's case, and calmly looked at the skirt.

"Today's flower banquet in Yunkun Pond, can Miss Xu go?"

Hearing this, Xu Chengjun smiled stiffly, his hand arranging his skirt paused, and then he teased casually: "As a female official in front of the palace, how can the slave maid go out of the palace to attend the banquet." ”

Xiao Yan suddenly remembered something when he heard this, and then said with a little helplessness and apology: "I actually forgot, and suddenly I thought it was before-"

Hearing the previous two words, Xu Chengjun's lips were slightly cold, and she only felt that these words were like a dagger inserted into her heart, full of sarcasm.

"Today, Cui Shangshu's daughter of the Ministry of War won the first place, and won the favor of Mrs. Yang with a good hand. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Yan didn't forget to praise out loud: "I heard that Miss Cui wrote Xie Yun's "Chang'an Fu" back then. ”

Listening to Xiao Yan's every word, Xu Chengjun's mind couldn't help but float that scene, his hands clenched again, and he began to tremble little by little, so he could only take a deep breath hard to keep himself from losing his temper.

"Lord Luo is here to explain the grand occasion of Yunkun Pool for the slaves and maids?"

Hearing the woman's voice, Xiao Yan looked over and saw that the corners of the girl's lips gradually condensed, and her face was no longer as restrained.

Xiao Yan didn't seem to see it, rubbed the teacup in his hand unhurriedly, and when he raised his eyes, he said words that made Xu Chengjun's face stiff.

"I'm here, but it's a pity for you, it was you who should have been brilliant today, not a little girl from the Cui family. ”

The moment the words fell, Xu Chengjun's eyes were shocked, but he forcibly clenched his hand and tried to calm down: "The slave doesn't know what Lord Luo means. ”

"It seems that the first talented woman in Daxing, who was shocking back then, also died with the former Xu family. ”

Xu Chengjun's face stiffened and gradually became ugly, but Xiao Yan continued with a little mockery on his lips: "In the past, when you were beheaded all over the house, this king saw you surviving like this, and thought that the Xu family should be relieved that the Xu family had a descendant with a tenacious temperament like you, but now, living alive, he has become a waste person who lives secretly, which is the case——"

"It was better to be dead. ”

was originally a vicious sentence, but Xiao Yan said it so lightly, like a warm word, but when it fell on Xu Chengjun's ears, it was like a loud slap in her face, which hurt hotly.

At this moment, her eyes seemed to suddenly turn into a blood-red, and in that blood-red, her face was dripping with blood, angrily scolding her useless father and family......

"What does Lord Luo want to say?"

Looking at the woman's pale face without a trace of blood, Xiao Yan also felt extremely beautiful, if it was not used in a place where it should be used, it would be a pity.

"Compared to the little girl of the Cui family, this king admires you more. ”

The corners of Xiao Yan's lips were slightly hooked, and his words were soft and almost ethereal, but they were like the singing voice of a merman, which could bewitch people's hearts.

"If you want to marry Xie Yun, this king will give you a generous gift. ”

Hearing this, Xu Chengjun was shocked at first, and then blurted out: "What do you mean?"

The corners of Xiao Yan's lips curled up when he heard this, and he said softly: "As long as you can help me in the future, what does the Xie family think about the Cui family girl, even if they exchange Geng posts and make a marriage letter, this king can make it a dead letter, and you, aren't you closer to Xie Yun." ”

In the end, Xiao Yan's eyes floated with a casual smile and said, "What?

When the words fell, the room fell into silence again, Xiao Yan was not in a hurry, just waited there silently, watching the woman in front of her sit there quietly, holding her skirt with both hands, and suddenly, the layers of light gauze brocade were gradually wrinkled, as if she was experiencing a struggle that she had never experienced before.

Until the last moment, those complex eyes suddenly floated with a determined light, and gradually became clear, as if the clouds were removed, but I didn't know whether it would be dawn or a darker night.

"Good. ”

The woman's eyes were calm and resolute, and there was a slight ripple on her cold face.

"Why should I believe you? ”

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, stood up unhurriedly, his long body was jade, like a celestial, and the words he said couldn't be more gentle.

"It won't be long before you can see my sincerity. ”

After the words fell, the man turned indifferently, and with the soft curtain sounding, the room fell into peace.

Xu Chengjun sat there, Fang Cai's expression seemed to relax instantly, his eyes looked at the soft curtain in a daze, but he knew in his heart that he had chosen a path that could never be turned back.
