Chapter 34: Not a Dream

At night, I lay in Qi Ye's arms and had a very real dream. I dreamed that I met him in Danlu Garden, I hugged him, and he hated me with tears and snot on my face, and said that a girl's family should not be so unrestrained.

So I ran over and hit him in a rage, and the two of them writhed and rolled on the ground. I ripped off half of his clothes, his sturdy arms exposed to me, and his back was covered with knife marks.

I remember knowing his back very well, I had seen him when he was injured and when I was obsessed with him, but when I got closer and looked again, my mouth opened wide in disbelief.

"Woo...... Yuwen Qi Night ...... Why don't you have a Pixiu mark on your back shoulder?"

My trembling voice made him smile slightly, and the eyes that looked at me instantly became grim - "Because I am not a member of the Yuwen clan, I am the one you are looking for." I have already died in Xiliang. But now that you know the secret, you must die!"

……

"Frightened!" I woke up and opened my eyes to find that it was the third day of the sun. The side was empty, and when I touched my forehead, it was full of cold sweat.

"Galo, why are you in the room of the eldest princess?" The figure of a little girl jumped in at the door, with a southwestern accent, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be the daughter of the post house groom's family.

The girl picked up the cat I had picked up the night before, and was as familiar as its owner, and I looked at her curiously, but the girl was frightened.

"Big ...... Celestia, I don't know if you're ...... I...... I saw Garo, and I ...... will come in......" The girl stammered in a stiff Chang'an official tone, holding the flower cat so frightened that her whole little face turned white instantly.

I smiled kindly, "The cat in your arms is called 'Garo'? ”

When the girl saw me laughing, she was also bold, and her tone was bolder than just now: "Well, its name is Garo, and it is a female cat that is pregnant with a child. It disappeared after the Holy Driver came yesterday...... Ah Niang said that it accidentally got into a Niangniang's room and ate incense ashes, and saw blood in her stomach, and the emperor said it was unlucky and drove it away...... Princess, did you bring Garrot back?"

I listened to the girl's crisp question, watched her look at my clear and innocent gaze, and suddenly realized. My heart tightened, and I suddenly didn't know how to answer.

"You say...... It ate the ashes and made a fuss about it?"

The girl nodded seriously: "Galo has been happy lately, and she always eats indiscriminately, but in the past, no matter how much she ate indiscriminately when she was pregnant with a child, she didn't see blood...... Garo ...... Are you sick?"

"......" I was silent, and when I looked up, the embroidery of the acacia flowers on the zenith blurred into a golden shadow.

"Princess...... Why don't you speak? Did I make you noise......"

I finally understood the words of Allure, and I was resolute and helpless. A ruthless emperor who has achieved great things through the ages. This is an eternal law that is immutable. Sitting on the throne, my father, the Ninety-Five Supreme, had already made all the plans. He is like a spectator sitting under the stage and watching, everyone on the stage painted all kinds of painted faces to fight openly and secretly, but he watched the changes, until the moment when the play did not suit his heart, he waved his hand indifferently and rewrote the whole plot.

My back grew cold, and my hands and feet were cold. The father, who has always loved me since I was a child, is a little old, and a little bit cold-blooded and suspicious. And I'm growing up, and I have the most orthodox royal blood he inherited from me, and one day, I'll be like him......

I looked at the cat in the girl's arms, my pale face reflected in the blue pupils, and suddenly its facial expression moved slightly, and it felt like it was crying.

Three days later, the royal car continued to march south, arriving at Yizhou City before the birthday of the Son of Heaven. Considering that Chang Jieyu's body had not healed, the emperor ordered the emperor to change the waterway, take the Han River from Hanzhong, and go down the river to Yizhou.

The Hanzhong government offered the year-end tribute official imperial boat in advance. With a gold-lacquered dragon body and a vermilion phoenix tail, dozens of gorgeous imperial boats docked at the dockside, shining under the bright sun. After the emperor had a little conversation with the local officials, the mighty travel procession took a boat in the farewell of countless people, and I poked my head out of the cabin and couldn't help but sigh: "Tsk, the people here are really simple and simple, and they are really warm!"

Yu Ruo chuckled on the side: "The people here are very similar to princesses, and I feel that princesses are suitable for living here." ”

The sky is high and the clouds are clear, the Hanjiang River is open, sparkling and sparkling, and the green hills on both sides of the river are endless, I am in a good mood and say with a smile: "Zhong Lingyu is beautiful between the mountains and forests, and Chang'an is indeed too flashy and rigid compared to here." But my family is in Chang'an, and I can only hope that I can be born in this unrestrained mountain forest in the next life. ”

My joking words made Yu Ruo stunned, and after a while, she regained her smile and said, "It should be so." ”

I could see the changes on her face, but I didn't say a word, just watched the scenery outside the boat.

"The general is now drinking tea and playing chess with the prince with the emperor, the general can be civil and martial, and the princess has really found a lover. ”

I leaned on the window and looked at the tallest and largest three-story dragon-shaped painting boat in the front, dazzling with golden light. The mighty team drove on the calm river, thousands of miles of blue waves reached the sky, and the river breeze hit the face, which was refreshing.

"He is the husband I chose, and he is naturally a good man. I looked at the dragon boat in front of me, rubbing my fingers on the Pixiu wrench on my thumb, and muttered, "He's sure everything is fine......

If I said no more, I fell silent, looking at the water in a distracted manner. The boat ripples in a circle, and the sun is dazzling at noon, shining on the surface of the river with golden light, which makes people dizzy.

The boat moves slowly, and the scenery becomes more inhabited. The ripples on the surface of the lake gradually changed and whirlpooled, and I felt strange and fixed my eyes on the water.

One or two wild kites flew by, cries lonely.

There was a dead silence on the surface of the river, the ripples gradually spreading, and the whirlpool split into four, and after a few moments more and more appeared......

I couldn't help but get a little closer......

The whirlpool is getting bigger and bigger......

"Whoa—"

The surface of the river suddenly exploded, causing countless splashes. A black shadow jumped out of the whirlpool in the center, as fast as lightning, and then several black-clothed people also flew out of the rest of the whirlpool, covering the entire river in the blink of an eye.

"There are assassins! protect the emperor! quickly! protect the emperor!" came a piercing scream in his ears, saying that it was too late and that was fast, but as soon as the voice fell, a black shadow man teleported like a ghost, and with a wave of the cold blade in his hand, a maid was splashed with blood on the spot when the knife fell in his hand.

The men in black were light and strong, and more than 20 people held long knives independent of the river, and surrounded the boat team.

"Ahh

"It's too noisy. The cold words sounded, and the black-clothed man at the head wore a Shura mask, and with an order, the black shadows behind him were like flying locusts, and the sword and sword shadows on the river surface were for a while, and my ears were filled with the sound of fighting and crying for help, and the river was instantly stained red with blood.

"Princess...... The prince ...... them, "If your face was full of horror, she pulled me to death."

I pretended to be calm: "Don't be afraid, we can't move now, as soon as we come out, we will die!"

She was trembling all over, but she had no choice but to obey me and stay in the boat.

"Lord, all the useless people have been killed, what will happen to the rest of the ship?"

I was already in a cold sweat as she tugged at my sleeve tightly, but her close proximity to me made me even more nervous.

She and I both held our breath, and the silence around us seemed to have been a whole century - "Except for the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, the rest of the people - kill!"
