Chapter 14

Unconsciously, the sun set half of the western sky, and the sparkling brilliance was like floating gold set on the rows of palace tiles, and the sunset was golden.

Ancient poets always love to chant the wonder of dusk and sunset, which is fascinating, but when I copied the scriptures with Lianxi in a corner of the side hall until I was dizzy and my hands trembled, no matter how beautiful the scenery was, it became a headless scripture.

Lian Xi copied the scriptures while reading them in pieces. This set of actions has been maintained well since he was caught by the Queen Mother at noon and punished for copying scriptures.

A sparrow fluttered its wings and rested on the dry branch of the sycamore in the courtyard. Through the window of the side hall, I happened to see it squeaking and jumping happily.

I paid attention to it a few times, and said to Lian Xi, who was completely selfless: "Is there any evil wind in Da Zhou, why is there no dignified and quiet daughter in the royal family?" Seeing that you are becoming more and more unreserved, I am really afraid that your father will blame me for bringing you badly. ”

Lian Xi spread out his hands, quite helpless: "My sister is the eldest daughter of the royal family, so she should set an example." However, in terms of dignified and quiet, there is no shortage of people in our royal family. Look at Princess Lan Shao, many young masters of the family in Chang'an regard her as the lover of their dreams, and they praise her for these four words......"

I rubbed my swollen temples, a little displeased: "What did you say she was doing?"

Everyone in the palace knows that I have been hating this dignified and quiet Princess Lanshao for several lifetimes, and Lian Xi realized that he was careless, so he changed the conversation stupidly: "Otherwise, let's talk about things in Yan Kingdom." ”

The sparrow on the branch of the sycamore flew away, and I followed it for a long time, only to realize that it was flying north, and the withered sycamore became empty again.

In the year of Yan Guoqi Wuxing Palace, I was fourteen years old, and there were too many things blurred in my chaotic memory, but I always remembered one person.

His peerless appearance of turning all beings upside down said to me with a smile: "I heard that you are the yaksha that everyone in Chang'an fears? ”

When I was sober that year, I only remembered that I was a princess and a person I liked, and when the hysteria occurred, I blindly shouted to find a Pixiu wrench of mutton fat jade. When Shen Zhan learned about it, he ordered to go through the entire royal city, and even posted a notice to inform the Yan Kingdom that anyone who did not report it would be sentenced to death.

These were all things that Zhizhi later told me, and I pieced them together into a nightmarish and broken memory.

One afternoon, the concubine of Shen Zhan hurriedly came, knelt in front of me who was in a daze with the sycamore outside the court, and said anxiously: "Princess, you quickly follow the concubine to stop the prince!"

“…… Now the Son of the World is about to put sinners to death and kill them all. But most of these ** are important ministers in the country, but they didn't do a good job of finding the princess's jade wrench, and the prince should never be like this! Now that the prince has left the prince in the country, if this matter reaches the imperial court, the prince will definitely be blamed by the emperor! Princess, please be gracious!"

The midsummer afternoon is particularly hot, and the sycamore trees outside the window are lush and green, covering the sky and the sun.

I watched as she kept kowtowing at my feet, the noisy chirping of cicadas as her head hitting the ground of Ugin with a heavy thud, gradually stained with blood. My dull eyes were full of scarlet.

Until I was dragged to the dungeon by Zhizhi in a daze, I saw Shen Zhan standing in a dirty prison with white clothes and wide sleeves, with millions of corpses under his feet.

On that bleak night, the shadow of the sycamore was projected on his long body through the miserable white moonlight, and I looked at him in a daze, smiling as if he was crying.

He pinched my chin and said fiercely, "High interest month, such a sin will make us go to the Shura Hell together!"

I imagined him wrapping his arms around me when he said this.

Zhizhi said that she was scared stupid at that time, and she was afraid that the son of the world would strangle me alive and die with me.

But I still don't know how he liked me who was crazy back then. Before leaving, I was immersed in the joy of recovering from a serious illness, and I felt that I was about to return to Chang'an to meet the owner of the wrench, full of anticipation. Instead, he forgot to ask him when he fell in love with me when I was fourteen years old.

I looked at the withered sycamore in Changle Palace, glanced at Lianxi, which I heard with relish, and introspected this path, but suddenly fell silent.

A picture flashed in my mind that was both real and illusory. When I first had a seizure in Yanguo, I ran to the cliff behind Cangting Mountain like crazy and threatened to jump off. I was on the edge of the cliff, the wind was blowing, and my fiery red shirt was like a flame about to be extinguished.

No one dared to step forward to stop it, Zhizhi was forcibly pulled by the internal guards, crying and shouting vigorously, but my mind was extremely empty.

In the midst of countless exclamations, I pulled Shen Zhan and fell off the cliff together, one white and one red, like two birds with broken wings.

The sound of the hunting wind, the words in the ears overlapped with the voices in the heart, and it was suddenly very clear.

Ah Yan, you did it on purpose.

It was as if I had been struck by a bolt of lightning, and my body was suddenly startled.

The crack in my brain was cut by this plain lightning flashing by, and the wind rushed in, and my head was splitting for a while.

Ah Yan, you did it on purpose. I heard this a few days ago.

"Sister, sister, what's wrong with you?" Lian Xi looked at me with a panicked look on his face, and he was at a loss for a while.

I shook my head with difficulty, gritted my teeth and asked her, "Xi'er, who is Ah Yan?"

She was so frightened that she forgot her words, and only kept shaking her head.

I grabbed her by the shoulders and asked her, "Who's Rouge?"

"I ...... I ......"

Just when Lian Xi was about to cry, a sharp and playful voice sounded coldly behind me - "Ah Yan is me." Sister Huang, why do you call me a nickname?"

When he turned around, it was Lan Shao.

I looked at Lan Shao fixedly, as if my soul had been drained, and she was looking back at me with a light smile and a dagger hidden in her eye.

I gradually calmed down, Lian Xi did not recover from the shock just now, and his face was sluggish.

After a while, I finally calmed down: "What are you doing here?"

She seemed to hear something interesting, and couldn't help laughing: "Tonight, the mother concubine set up a banquet at Fengyingtai to practice for King Liang and the princess, I originally came to invite the queen mother to go together, but I didn't expect to meet the imperial sister like this." Yu Feng turned around, and asked me harshly: "Could it be that after the imperial sister fell into the water and was grounded, she was like this?"

"You!" Lian Xi was enraged by her, and was about to speak, but I stopped her.

Seeing that I turned around and ignored me, Lan Shao flicked his sleeves and walked away quite proudly.

Lianxi observed me for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Sister......"

I reacted and hurriedly asked her, "Xi'er, didn't you scare you?"

Lian Xi was like a frightened rabbit, her eyes were red: "Sister just ......"

I shook my head and comforted, "It's okay, I was thinking about some side things just now." If only you weren't scared. ”

Lian Xi looked at me suspiciously, and didn't ask anything after all.

I made it all the way back to the Spirit Rhino Palace.

I called Zhizhi uneasily, thought for a long time, and finally asked solemnly: "You answer me honestly, do you know a person called 'Ah Yan'?"

Zhizhi was shocked, but fell to her knees and said, "The slave doesn't know." ”

I looked at her for a long time, and then waved my hand, "What are you doing on your knees? Have you forgotten the rules of my palace?" ”

Zhizhi didn't get up obediently, bowed her head and said nothing, somehow.

I was helpless and said: "You know how I've lived all these years, I can't even tell the truth from the false, if you don't tell the truth, no one will dare to say it." ”

When Zhizhi heard this, she finally replied tremblingly for a while, and even her body trembled: "Before...... In the past, the slave and maid always heard 'Ah Yan' in the princess's sleep, so they paid attention to inquire and learned that it was ...... It turned out that Princess Lan Shao's name when she was first born was Ah Yan, and then somehow she didn't use it. The princess has always had a problem with Princess Lanshao, and the slave and maid really dare not say anything......"

I didn't know what to say for a while, but I was inexplicably disappointed. Ah Yan is really Lan Shao, but if that sentence was said to Lan Shao, why would I remember it for no reason?

Seeing that I was silent, Zhizhi quietly retreated. I sat in my chair in a daze for a long time, and somehow the boredom and uneasiness came back to me.

I was staring at the gilded birds on the ceiling, but Zhizhi suddenly came in, approached me and whispered: "Princess, the crown princess has something important to ask for, just outside the door." ”

I raised my eyes, puzzled, and said, "Let her in." ”

After a moment, I saw Yu Ruo stumbling in a gorgeous dress, Zhizhi hurriedly leaned over and saluted, and gently closed the door and retreated.

I looked at her strangely and asked, "The crown princess should be at the Fengying Terrace for a banquet now, why did she come to me?"

Who knew that Yu Ruo suddenly knelt down in front of me, and her delicate face was full of anxiety: "Eldest Princess, save the prince quickly!"

When she knelt down, I was surprised and surprised, I didn't slow down for a moment, and I was very worried: "What is the princess doing? I must not accept your bowing ceremony, you should get up first." He walked over and helped her up, led her to sit down next to her, and asked, "Tell me what happened, what happened to the prince?"

When I asked, my eyes turned red, and I sobbed for a while, and then said, "Father...... My father is going to abolish the crown prince!"
