Towards noon, the sun shone on Zhan Duxiao and Yue'er, and both of them had a warm and lazy feeling. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I don't know why, but the days have been going by very slowly, and every moment seems to be stretched, full and fulfilling. Zhan Duxiao broke the silence and said, "This is something I haven't felt before. ”

"Hearing you say that, I feel like my mood has changed. ”

"How's that changing?"

"It's like a person who has been wandering for a long time suddenly returns home, and the feeling of wandering is swept away. Chan'er paused and said, "But sometimes it's a little disoriented. ”

"If you'd like, tell me what kept you from settling?"

"I ...... Probably...... Fall in love with someone. Chan'er looked away, her voice getting quieter and quieter.

"What can make our Chanyuan county lord like it must not be ordinary people. After the initial stunned, Zhan Duxiao pulled a smile and said warmly.

"But I don't know...... What kind of feelings he had for me. Chan'er still didn't dare to look at Zhan Duxiao's expression, just stared into the distance and muttered.

"You are such a good girl, he will definitely like you and cherish you. ”

"Brother Zhan didn't coax me, did he?"

"Seriously. Take Rut, Brother Tuoba and I, we all like you. ”

When Chan'er heard this, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked directly at Zhan Duxiao, her eyes flashed with a little light, and she blurted out the words in her heart without holding back:

"Do you remember?"

"Huh?"

"That night, I was standing by the Jade Belt River, and you were in the crowd on the street over there. Chan'er said as she gestured with her hand to the position the two of them had been in that day, "I turned my head to look at the child, and you were helping him pick up the scattered Lantern Festival." That scene suddenly touched me. ”

"Yue'er......" Zhan Duxiao seemed to understand what Chan'er meant.

"It's just that I didn't think much about it at the time, and the hour wasn't early, so I went back to Zuihuang Tower. I didn't expect to see you the next morning, and because of a misunderstanding, we met in hostile positions. But what really made me admire it was because I saw your painting later. ”

"You...... Like me. There was a mixed emotion in Zhan Duxiao's eyes.

"Probably the relationship between King Wenjun and the Ninth Princess that the storyteller talked about today touched me deeply. In fact, I know that we may not be able to walk together, but because of this, I don't want to pass by you with regrets. Chan'er didn't answer directly, but indirectly acquiesced.

"You are the lord of a country, and you shouldn't have said that. Yue'er, you are the bravest woman I have ever met. Zhan Duxiao couldn't hide the shock in his heart, and he couldn't say whether there was surprise in the surprise for a while.

Between the two, there was a sudden silence.

Chan'er didn't say anything more. And Zhan Duxiao, looking at Chan'er, who was weak on the outside and tough on the inside, the feelings that had been suppressed for a long time in his heart seemed to be breaking the ice, and the resonance brought to him by Chan'er, who had deliberately avoided before, became more and more clear.

Just when Zhan Duxiao wanted to say something, a voice sounded first around the two:

"Big brother and sister, it's you!"

Zhan Duxiao and Chan'er followed the sound and saw that it was none other than the boy who prompted the two to meet.

"What a coincidence, I saw you here again. Chan'er smiled at the boy, inexplicably relieved by his appearance.

"Sister, didn't you and this brother meet again by coincidence. The boy rolled his eyes and said, "Or are you already friends because of my secret traction?"

"You're a big ghost. Zhan Duxiao bent over and patted the boy's head and said, "It is indeed thanks to you here, that our brothers and sisters can meet and meet in the dark." ”

"Ah, my sister is your junior sister?"

"Hmm. ”

"Although I don't know much about it, I've heard that my brother and sister have always been a good match. Brother, will you marry your sister in the future?" the boy asked with a wink, innocent and happy eye.

As soon as the boy's words came out, Chan'er couldn't help but look embarrassed. And hearing what the boy said, Zhan Duxiao's psychological changes were even more drastic. Because of the boy's word "marry", it reminded him of the status of "Du Chan" in his heart, as well as the oath he had promised. In an instant, the feeling of guilt hit Zhan Duxiao's heart again.

"Big brother?" the boy was completely unaware of the situation, still waiting for Zhan Duxiao's answer.

"A brother can't marry a sister. Zhan Duxiao struggled inwardly and whispered to the boy, "Because...... My brother already has someone to marry. If you marry her sister again, it's too unfair to her. ”

Zhan Duxiao's answer seemed to be replying to the boy, but in fact, it was all said to Chan'er, and the words were hammered on Chan'er's heart. In an instant, Chan'er's expectations were all disappointed, and at this moment, she couldn't hear the noise around her, only the sound of her own heartbreak.

At the same time, Zhan Duxiao's heart was also uncomfortable, and the moment he politely rejected Chan'er's feelings, he realized that she had left a special trace in his heart, but this relationship was short-lived and shattered at the beginning.

The two forced a smile, said goodbye to the boy, and looked at each other again, with no smile in their eyes.

"I don't want to eat, I'll go back to the Demon Palace first, okay?" Chan'er said softly, as if the louder the voice, the more it would tug at her heart.

"I'll accompany you back to the palace. Out of distress for Chan'er, Zhan Duxiao's heart tightened.

"Don't worry, I know how to walk on the craggy walls. Brother Zhan went to Zuihuang Tower to inform He Zheng of them. Let's just say, I'm tired, go back to the palace first...... Okay?"

“…… I know. ”

"I'll go back and get some sleep, tomorrow, as soon as tonight...... It's going to be fine. It's okay. Chan'er said, waving her hand at Zhan Duxiao, "Then I'll go." ”

"Good. Zhan Duxiao stood in place, watching Chan'er walk away, and then turned around and walked in the opposite direction with a lot of worry.

~~~

At noon, Zhan Duxiao and others returned to the Demon Palace, and when they arrived in front of the gate of the Garden, Xi Tao, Xiao Rao, and Pei Qi were about to say goodbye to Zhan Duxiao and go their separate ways.

"Why did you come back so soon, at this time, have you eaten?"

Zhan Duxiao's lips moved slightly, and she stopped talking, and only said again after a moment:

Yue'er said that she was tired, so she came back first, and she was afraid that she would fall asleep at this time. ”

"She came back alone?" Yuan Han looked in the direction of Xi Tao and Xiao Rao and asked.

"Back to the prince, at that time, the two slaves and maids were waiting for the county lord and the Zhan palace lord at the inn, so they couldn't be on the side. Please punish the prince. Xi Tao lowered his head and said.

"Please condemn the prince. "Yan Wu, Tie Yin, and Qi Hong also asked for sin.

"Senior Brother Zhan, shouldn't you make Yue'er angry?" Tuoba Yabu joked to Zhan Duxiao in order to ease the atmosphere.

"Where is Yue'er a person who is angry with others. Zhan Duxiao said noncommittally.

"Okay, Brother Yuan Han don't blame them. Hearing this, he looked at Pei Qi and ordered, "You guys hurry up and go back to see if the county lord is uncomfortable, and you will come back and tell me later." ”

"Yes, Lord Xiaoxuan. Pei Qi responded.

"Lord Wang, this matter is twilight, isn't it, I didn't take good care of Yue'er. Zhan Duxiao looked at Yuan Han with a hidden self-blame in her eyes.

"Actually, Yue'er is not a child anymore, I am too worried about her safety, since the last time she was addicted to the (separator) drug. Yuan Han waved his hand and said.

"Senior Brother Zhan has been on the road for a few days, and he must be tired, so hurry up and go back and rest. Let's not get in the way of it here. Tuoba Yabu continued.

"Yes, it's all gone, where should I go back. He echoed the words, scattered the crowd, and then left with Tuoba Yabu and Yuan Han.

Halfway through, he remembered that he had drunk a lot of wine and tea in the past few days, so he should say hello to him, so he turned back to Qiyuan. Stepping into the courtyard, he went straight to the main house where Zhan Duxiao lived, and before he could get closer, he saw Zhan Duxiao's figure dodging out of the side door.

"That's ...... Direction of the back mountain. He muttered to himself, thought for a moment, and silently followed.

Zhan Duxiao walked very slowly, the steps under his feet were as dignified as his mood, and because he was thoughtful, he didn't find the smell of blockages at all. He stopped at the place where he fell off the cliff four years ago, sat on the ground, and felt the hairpin hidden in his arms with his right hand, and the scene of that year seemed to be reproduced in front of him.

~~~

Chan'er saw Yuan Jiutian die, her hands kept trembling, as if she wanted to escape from everything in front of her, and took a step back. Just as she was about to fall off the cliff, Zhan Duxiao rushed to the edge of the cliff and stretched out her left hand to grab Chan'er's right hand.

Yuan Sanxiang also saw Yuan Jiutian who fell on the edge of the cliff, roared angrily, got rid of the three people around him, and then rushed towards the edge of the cliff like a wind under his feet.

"Chan'er, hold my hand. Zhan Duxiao's heart trembled terribly.

Chan'er was still in a state of despair, and did not respond to Zhan Duxiao's words.

"Ninth brother, ninth brother!" Yuan Sanxiang never imagined that Yuan Jiutian would die like this, and called him sadly over and over again, "Ninth brother, I will avenge you...... You wait for the third brother ......"

"Chan'er, catch me!" shouted Zhan Duxiao as she watched Chan'er's hand slide down from her hand a little bit.

"Brother Zhan......" Chan'er came back to her senses, recognized Zhan Duxiao in front of her, and wanted to grab his hand, but found that her hand had no strength at all.

"You were the ones who hurt him...... I will definitely let you bury him. Yuan Sanxiang said as he walked towards Zhan Dusk step by step.

"Let go, you leave me alone. Chan'er struggled with her right hand and said to Zhan Duxiao.

"No, I've been in love with you since the night you played with me, and I won't let go of you in this life...... Never!"

Chan'er sensed from Yuan Sanxiang's previous voice that he was approaching little by little, so she smiled the most gentle at Zhan Duxiao.

"Brother Zhan, I promise to marry you......" Chan'er said in a demagogic tone, and at the same time, while Zhan Duxiao was distracted, she stabbed Zhan Duxiao's hand with the hairpin in her left hand, once, twice, and three times. The hands of the two were separated......

~~~

While recalling, Zhan Duxiao only felt that the place where the back of his left hand had been stabbed by Chan'er with a hairpin was still aching, and what hurt even more was his heart.

"I'm sorry...... Chan'er, I'm sorry......" Zhan Duxiao whispered, tears couldn't help but slide down her cheeks, "You're here to save me...... But how can I turn my back on you, how can I like someone else? ”

When he heard what Zhan Duxiao said, he was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the abnormality of Zhan Duxiao and Chan'er, and he seemed to understand something.

"I always thought that there would be no one but you who would make my heart move, and I said that you would not marry in this life...... I'm not qualified to like her like this, am I...... Chan'er, if you were by my side, how nice would it be......"

"Twilight. He took two steps forward and said loudly.

Zhan Duxiao saw the blockage and knew that he had heard what he said, so he didn't hide it anymore:

"Brother Tuoba is right, it was I who injured Yue'er, so she would run back alone. ”

"It seems that not only Yue'er is interested in you, but you also have her in your heart. Seeing that Zhan Duxiao did not deny it, he continued, "You said cruelly to Yue'er because of your concern and responsibility to Chan'er, am I right?"

"Not exactly. After all, Yue'er's marriage is ...... Emperor Xuan had a plan. ”

"If you have the heart, that's nothing. ”

"You don't blame me?"

“…… It depends on who you like more. ”

"There is no one more, no less. Zhan Duxiao paused for a moment, looked at the rut and said firmly, "Four years ago, Chan'er occupied my heart. And today, Yue'er warms my cold heart again. It's impossible for me to forget Chan'er, but my heart has been filled with Yue'er. ”

"She's my sister......"

"Hmm. ”

"She's my sister. He repeated it again, and then said, "Now that she likes you, I will do my best to help her." Twilight, promise me one condition, I'll tell you a secret. ”

"On what terms?"

"You promise me first, if you really like Yue'er, promise for her. ”

"Okay, I'll do what you say. ”

"You can hear me clearly, I'm not joking. He lowered his voice and said word by word, "Yue'er, it's Chan'er...... It's the plug Chan you said she wouldn't marry. It was Guan Zhou's seniors who saved Chan'er back then, and she had already lost her memory when she was rescued. We know that the people of the Yuan family are angry with the Demon Palace for Yuan Jiutian's death, and they have been waiting for an opportunity to take revenge, so out of protection for Chan'er and you, even if it is you, we can only hide it. ”

"What you mean is that there was no blocking Chan from the beginning, Yue'er is the real Chan'er. The words that blocked the rut set off a huge wave in Zhan Duxiao's heart.

"Yes. ”

"Yue'er...... It's Chan'er. No wonder she made me feel so familiar. This is the greatest gift that God has given me!"

"But you can't say this to Chan'er. That's what I want you to say. ”

"I understand your concerns. Only by treating Du Chan and Lord Chanyuan as two people will her safety not be affected. ”

"Not bad. As for how to explain your transformation to Chan'er, you can decide for yourself. ”

"Hmm. Zhan Duxiao remembered what she had just said to Chan'er, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Another thing I'm worried about is the four old guys of the Yuan family. ”

"They have almost disappeared in the past two years, and there should be no trouble in the short term, and in the future, since I know Chan'er's identity, she is a person more important than my life, and no one or anything can endanger her life again. ”

"There's another thing I need to mention to you. ”

"What?"

"Chan'er liked a person when she was a child......"

~~~

At the same moment, in the wing room where Chan'er lived, Xitao, Xiaorao and Pei Qi tiptoed open the door of the inner room, only to see Chan'er lying on the bed sleeping sweetly.

Seeing this, Xi Tao and Xiao Rao's hearts relaxed, and the two then walked two steps away and discussed:

"The dress we made for the county lord a few days ago should be finished today. ”

"Yes, the lord will be very happy when he wakes up and sees the beautiful new dress. ”

"Then let's hurry up. ”

"Hmm. ”

Pei Qi watched Xi Tao and Xiao Rao turn around and go to the outhouse, so she dared to walk into the house through the crack in the door, and stopped about two feet away from Chan'er, not daring to step forward again. After some scrutiny, Pei Qi found shallow tear stains on Chan'er's face.

County Lord, are you crying? Is it because of the Zhan Palace Lord?

At this time, Chan'er in her sleep turned over, so Pei Qi didn't stop any longer, exited the wing, and went back to the rut.
