The sky was dark, the wind and snow were raging, and when I opened the door, I was full of warm light.

It was a brightly lit palace, warmer and brighter than it had just been on the main hall, and under the eaves, on the branches, wherever a lantern could be hung, it was hung with lanterns, swaying in the wind and snow, exuding an orange-red, gentle light, and almost all the snow on the ground was illuminated so that it reflected a faint blue light.

I choked my breath for a moment.

And at this moment, a cold wind suddenly rose, blowing a dark shadow in front of him.

I was startled, took a step back and almost fell, but fortunately I held on to the door frame next to me, and when I looked up, it was a flag floating in front of me.

Faintly, I saw the book on it: The East Pole Palace ordered the boy in Tsing Yi to be sent down......

The back one is not clear to see.

It's not a spirit flag, it's still a soul flag.

When I looked up, it turned out that both sides were full of flags, and they were constantly hunting and flying in the wind and snow, and just like that, they shook in front of me, like ghosts, and I couldn't help but be frightened.

Father-in-law Yu glanced back at me: "Girl, are you okay?"

My face flushed slightly, and I hurriedly said, "It's okay." ”

"Okay, let's go. ”

After saying that, he led me step by step.

Walking in this way, it doesn't look like walking in the palace, but like walking into a dojo, and there are more and more flags on both sides. Moreover, in the wind and snow, there seems to be a faint fragrance wafting around, which seems to be around the tip of the nose.

The ground was swept, but it couldn't withstand such a heavy snowfall, and a thin layer of snow accumulated, and it was a little slippery when it was walked, and the jade father-in-law hurriedly whispered to the front, and two little eunuchs hurriedly ran over, confessed, and then helped me.

I looked at their clothes, and they were the same as the little eunuch who had just gone to the main hall and informed Grandpa Yu.

I finally walked through a long corridor and saw the whole picture of this palace.

This is a very large courtyard, boxy, with a huge copper incense burner in the middle, and the smoke curling in it, which is where the dark incense comes from, but it is exactly what I just thought, it really looks like a dojo. Directly in front of the incense burner was a tall palace with four gates, inside which were lit by bright candlelight, and there seemed to be figures swaying. The courtyard was very clean, and the surrounding rooms seemed to be for these people to rest, and they were all very simple, but when I stood in this courtyard, I heard the sound of very light flowing water outside, and there were all around, and I realized that it was the river we had just crossed, surrounding this palace.

It's a bit like the original waterfront pagoda, except that the river is living water, and although the surface is frozen, there is an undercurrent underneath, so you can hear the sound of the water.

In fact, it is very common here, neither luxurious nor extravagant, and it is faintly unobtrusive in the imperial city, but perhaps, what you want is this "not eye-catching", for so many years, the emperor has lived here deeply, and it is not so easy to do it without disturbing the world.

At this time, Father-in-law Yu had already walked up the steps and looked back at me: "Girl." ”

I walked slowly, and the two little eunuchs retreated, and soon retreated into the darkness of the night around them.

I glanced back, and Grandpa Yu said softly, "Girl." ”

It seems to be urging.

I walked up to him, but before I could speak quickly, the people inside seemed to have heard his voice and said, "Yuquan, is she here?"

It was Pei Yuanhao's voice.

Father-in-law Yu hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, Miss Yan has already come." ”

"Let her in. ”

"Yes. ”

After saying that, Grandpa Yu pushed the door open again.

I thought that as soon as I opened the door, I could see the people and things inside, but what I saw was a screen, which was used to block the wind, and I was stunned for a moment, and the jade father-in-law made a gesture inside, and I stepped over the threshold and walked in.

It's very warm, only a door away, but it's like the difference between winter and summer, I feel a burst of heat rushing towards me, and behind me Yu Gonggong closed the door again, the heat bounced back to my back with nowhere to go, and suddenly I was sweating.

Pei Yuanhao's voice sounded on the other side of the screen-

"Not yet?"

“……”

I frowned slightly, but walked over slowly.

Beyond the screen, you can see the whole hall.

It scared the other out of me.

Because, I've never seen so many lights.

The whole hall was very spacious, even larger than the courtyard just outside, and on both sides of the center line of the hall stood two stout pillars of golden silk nanmu, reaching to the zenith, and there was an illusion that they were about to break through the top of the temple, and around these two pillars, there were countless lamps on the ground, and with the gust of wind that I brought with me as I entered, all the flames flickered and swayed, as if they had set off a wave of fire.

Looking at this scene, my whole body was in a trance.

Then, I saw a person lying in the midst of a lamp.

Although it was far away and a little indistinguishable, I subconsciously understood that it was the Emperor.

There was a man standing beside him, dressed in Taoist clothes, with unkempt white hair covering his face, looking down at the Emperor Pei Ji, who looked up at me at this time, and I was shocked when I looked up at those eyes.

Words are meaningless.

Although I know that I will definitely see him here, but I have never seen him like this, he appears in front of me on weekdays, always with a crown and a solemn beard, full of virtue and respect, but I have never seen him like this, almost unkempt.

He only glanced at me, didn't say anything, then lowered his head again, and continued to look at the Emperor.

"You're here. ”

Pei Yuanhao's voice sounded in my ears, I woke up suddenly, and when I looked back, he was standing behind the screen, I don't know if it was the light, the corners of his eyes were red, and there was a faint haze under his eyes, which made his whole person look a little gloomy, and when he stood there with his hands down, he looked like a god.

I immediately said, "Meet the emperor." ”

He nodded, but didn't speak.

This time, I was also obedient, I didn't ask anything more, and the lights in this place didn't allow me to go anywhere else, so I could only walk to a place close to him and stand still, and then not move.

Yan Wuxian stood in the center of a "sea of fire", facing the Emperor Taishang who was lying there quietly and did not move, as if he was muttering something in a low voice, I couldn't hear it clearly, even if I heard it clearly, I might not understand, I just looked at the Emperor Pei Ji more attentively.

In the past, during the days when I was a palace maid in the palace, although I was on duty in the deserted Inner Hidden Pavilion, I still saw this former Ninety-Five Supreme a few times, when it came to Pei Yuanhao's ascension to the throne, he had been lying like a living dead for more than ten years, and a person who was so ignorant and unconscious in the past ten years was afraid that he would not look good, but I looked at him like this, but it seemed to be the same as when I saw him at the dinner party on the night of the moon, he was still so thin, pale, and Pei Yuanhao's thin lips were closed, and he couldn't spit out a word。

I really wanted to hear him speak, though.

Because, there are too many unsolved mysteries, and now, it is up to him to sue me.

Just when I was thinking in a trance, Yan Wuxi, who had been standing motionless in front of me, suddenly moved, but he stumbled and almost fell. Finally stood firm, he turned around, and Pei Yuanhao immediately said, "Dao Chief, how is it?"

Under the firelight, Yan Wuxi's face was normal, but I knew that it was the light of the fire, which looked a little ruddy, and if it looked like it was on weekdays, it must be terrifyingly pale.

He shook his head.

My heart sank - what do you mean?

From the very beginning, Pei Yuanhao called me over, I knew that it was for the emperor, but why did I come for the emperor, I don't quite understand, just looking at Yan Wuxian like this, could it be that something is wrong with the emperor?

I turned my head to look at Pei Yuanhao: "The Emperor Taishang, he-"

He didn't say anything with a blushing face, and walked over slowly with no desire to step on the cold ground barefoot, he was slightly unevenly wheezing, and after resting for a while, he said: "The situation of the Emperor Taishang is not very good. ”

“……”

My heart tightened.

Pei Yuanhao was still calm, but I could feel that the muscles and flesh of his whole body were tense all of a sudden, and a pair of eyes looked fixedly at the person lying in the firelight, as if he had a thousand words, but at this moment, they all turned into death-like silence, and he just didn't speak.

I asked, "Why?"

Yan Wuxian breathed a sigh of relief at this time, sighed again, and then said: "The Emperor Taishang has been like this for more than ten years, his limbs are not good, and his five bodies are not lucky. If the limbs are not good, they can still deal with it, but if the five bodies are not lucky, it will be difficult. ”

“……”

I kind of understand that Pei Ji has been ill for many years, and he can't do anything, not even ordinary eating and drinking, but his situation is different from the Lotus Plate of the Enlightened Monk, and he can maintain his life, all thanks to the careful care of the people in the palace and the practice of saying nothing. However, the limbs of the body can be protected by guò, but the tendons, veins, flesh, skin, and bones of the five bodies cannot be invaded by external forces. It's hard to say without words, but his five embodiments have already been-

Pei Yuanhao calmed his face and said, "Then what is his current situation?"

Yan Wuxian said: "The emperor knows that the stars in the sky are dealing with the people on the earth. Emperor Taishang has abdicated the throne of the palace for many years, all under the shadow of the emperor's imperial star, and has never competed for glory, let alone occupied the throne. But now, the stars have changed—"

Pei Yuanhao's eyes suddenly became sharp: "Oh, how to change the law?"

Yan Wuxian was silent for a moment, and then said: "In short, there is an abnormality in the star position of the Emperor Taishang. ”

“……”

"The method of prolonging the life of the stars practiced by the poor road is completely useless tonight. ”
