A round and a half moon hung quietly in the air, the moonlight appeared exceptionally bright, under the heavy twilight, the summer insects in the corner of the palace wall whispered one by one, and occasionally the little frog jumped lightly in the pond, making a "grunt" water wave splashing sound, causing the birds on the branches to be frightened, and couldn't help flapping their wings and flying into the distance.

Far away in the north palace of an old palace garden is particularly quiet at this moment, as if even the sound of breathing can be heard, but a glance at the cobwebs, green paint mottled plaque, you can know that there is no trace here.

At this moment, an ink-colored figure was hidden in the moonlight, and walked cautiously along the uninhabited road in the distance, because the person who came was wrapped in an ink-colored cloak with a hood, if he was not careful, he was afraid that he would not be able to see it.

When the person approached, it could be vaguely seen that it was a tall and thin woman, and the moonlight fell quietly on the woman's body, adding a bit of mystery.

I saw that he didn't even mention the palace lamp, and walked forward silently, until he reached the door of the abandoned palace, Fang cautiously looked at the left and right corridors, as if to confirm that there was no one, then raised his hand and habitually used the hood to cover his face more tightly, and the next moment, he walked in.

Crossing the threshold, the woman's dress gently brushed the dust, made a sound, walked through the long sandwich road, a cool wind slowly blew, like the song of the mourning woman, cold and lonely, blowing the cloak on the woman's body violently.

Walking through a dilapidated corridor, the woman walked to a palace, and saw that many calf-high weeds had grown under the terrace of the palace, green and full of vitality, swaying slender bodies in the wind.

"Squeak"

The woman walked up the steps, raised her hand and pushed open the old door in front of her, where the vermilion paint had peeled off, and a cold and damp wind with a faint musty smell hit her face, causing the woman to frown.

The moonlight behind the woman then fell into the hall, and vaguely, you could see a little bit of what the hall once looked like.

The next moment, as the door closed again, the woman walked towards the innermost room with ease.

The room was very quiet, and the quiet woman could hear her own calm heartbeat, and the soft satin shoes under her feet stepped on the smooth marble floor, making a subtle sound.

A small shabby window opened a small slit, through which the moonlight fell in and lit up a faint light, and the woman looked around the room, but there was no human figure in sight.

"You're here. ”

The man's voice sounded calmly, as indifferent as an old acquaintance, but it was so startled that the woman's feet stiffened, and she couldn't help but take two steps back.

When she looked more closely, she saw a familiar figure slowly walking out of the heavy shadows, the man's flawless side face appeared in front of her little by little, under this gentle moonlight like water, the woman saw the gentle smile in the man's eyes, and suddenly, like a fairy who is not stained with dust.

When this thought came to mind, the corners of the woman's lips couldn't help but sneer, feeling ridiculous at the idea.

"The prince and the female official in front of the palace meet in private, if your majesty knows, I am afraid that I will be angry, you order someone to find me, there should always be something to say, it will not be as simple as looking at me now. ”

Although the words were serious, the man's voice was so calm and light.

The next moment, the woman slowly reached out and took off the hood, her dignified face like jade was gradually revealed, and the corners of her lips were hooked, with a bookish gentleness, but even more cold.

"His Royal Highness King Luo is so nervous, he dared to ask me to form an alliance privately, and he has such guts. ”

"Alliance?"

Hearing Xu Chengjun's words, Xiao Yan playfully hooked the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile indifferently: "I thought that we were just taking what we needed." ”

At the end of the words, Xiao Yanmei's eyes were still like a spring breeze, but Xu Chengjun was clasping his hands tightly, with hatred in his eyes, and even more with full coldness, gritting his teeth word by word and saying: "You are a madman." ”

Hearing the woman's words, Xiao Yan did not get angry, but smiled leisurely: "Miss Xu dares to trade with me, a madman, and her courage is not under my Xiao Yan." ”

Hearing Xiao Yan's joke, Xu Chengjun could no longer suppress the anger in his body, and immediately took a few steps forward, approached Xiao Yan's body, and said with resentment: "Why did you kill Mrs. Cui!"

As soon as these words fell, Xiao Yan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows as if he had heard some joke and said, "Who did Mrs. Cui die for, I thought you should know." ”

"As long as you stop Cui Xie's marriage, I never let you kill anyone!"

Xiao Yan lowered his eyes lightly when he heard this, and then said in a calm tone: "Now the Cui family girl has been filial piety for three years, and next year this will be done, isn't this what you want, I Xiao Yan do things, I never care about the process, as long as the result is right, it is enough." ”

"You"

Xu Chengjun was forced to stagnate, but when he saw Xiao Yan in front of him, he squinted at him, and the smile in his eyes was subdued little by little, replaced by a chilling indifference.

"Now, when you get what you want, your poor conscience has been awakened. If you really can't see such a bloody method, now go and tell Xie Yun, tell the Cui family, and even, you can also confess your guilt to Your Majesty, and tell them how you and I conspired to take the life of Mrs. Shangshu for your little childlike affection. ”

The more Xiao Yan spoke, the deeper his voice became, and the closer he became, so close that Xu Chengjun could almost feel the undisguised mockery in the tone of the person in front of him.

Seeing that the face of the woman in front of him was as white as paper, her bloodless lips trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of panic and remorse, she shook her head with a smile and said: "At the beginning, Xu Ge was able to climb from the Hanlin Academy step by step to the position of the cabinet, and he didn't know how many colleagues and friends were stepping on the blood and bones under his feet, but now his granddaughter who is in the same vein is acting like this. ”

"Shut up!"

The woman's shrill voice trembled, and her whole body shook as she almost collapsed.

But Xiao Yan in front of him seemed to drive Xu Chengjun crazy, approaching step by step, causing the woman to retreat in a panic and cramped.

"Bang"

The pain of hitting the cabinet shelf behind made Xu Chengjun's brows furrow, and when he wanted to escape again, he was tightly grasped by Xiao Yan in front of him and his left wrist.

Stagnant, Xu Chengjun felt scared at this moment, like a frightened rabbit, looking at the person in front of him who seemed to have come out of hell.

Xiao Yan looked at the woman in front of him leisurely, and blurted out a sigh like a pity: "Xu Chengjun, you have no way out for a long time, except to be attached to me, you can still get a place, what do you think you can do?"

Looking at the woman's gradually desperate gaze, the corners of Xiao Yan's lips hooked with satisfaction, and then leaned into her ear, as if she was the most intimate secret word.

"Don't worry, as long as you choose the right path, I will help you, now Cui Xie's marriage is only delayed for three years, this is far from enough, it should be completed by you and Wei, and when the time comes, this paper-thin marriage contract should also come to an end." ”
