Winter turns to spring, and after a long period of spring rain, the sky in Kyoto is finally getting warmer.

Between the Teng Pavilion, lined with golden glazed tiles, the large apricot blossoms in the palace have already fully opened, and the clusters are blooming with pink stamens, which is very beautiful. At the beginning of spring, it was a time when everything was full of vitality, but the palace seemed to be more and more heavily guarded recently, and the guards in the palace who were ordered to patrol around, wearing heavy armor and holding weapons, all looked a little listless and dejected.

For several days in a row, the sun is clear in Kyoto, and the garden is full of sunshine and flowers. But in the other depths of the palace, it was still dark.

At noon, two men dressed as eunuchs entered the women's prison and walked silently to the cell in the depths of the prison, which was guarded by two jailers.

After stopping, one of the eunuchs bent down and smiled at the two jailers in front of the prison and said, "Second master, we have been ordered to deliver some of the things that the prisoners need to produce. ”

The slightly lean jailer in front of him quickly looked the two of them up and down, and sneered when he heard the words: "Look, what general's wife is different, giving birth to a child is so much!" ”

"Hey, yes!" The eunuch nodded in agreement, and at the same time, he stuffed a handful of silver taels into each of the two jailers without changing his face, and then said with a smile: "There is still more to take care of the second master." Presumably, the two masters are also tired, why not take this opportunity to have a drink and rest? ”

The two jailers glanced at each other, took the benefits, and their faces suddenly improved a lot. Before letting the two of them in, one of the jailers didn't forget to stare at him and said, "Hurry up." ”

The eunuch nodded again and again, and walked into the cell with his companion beside him.

The strong fishy smell that filled the prison also greeted him, mixed with the original smell of decay, which made people frown even more.

The eunuch who had always lowered his head slightly and followed behind finally raised his head at this moment, revealing a fair-skinned and beautiful face, it was Bai Sang. And the other eunuch who spoke just now was her personal palace maid Yunzheng.

Bai Sang saw that Ye Xiuying was sitting on the grass half-leaning at the moment in prison, but her eyes were always blank, and she was holding the child in her arms motionlessly, and her heart suddenly tightened, and she frowned and asked, "Mama Li, what's the matter?" ”

When the midwife who was originally on the side heard this, she quickly knelt down and said, "Niangniang, the slave is guilty, and the lady's child is ...... I'm born out of gas......"

Mama Li said, sighing in her heart. This morning, Concubine Yi got the news that the general's wife suddenly had a miscarriage, and immediately sent herself to the prison to help.

It's a pity that this woman's birth is an extremely dangerous thing, let alone in such a cold and damp place as prison, there are no conditions at all. After tossing for a few hours, the child finally fell to the ground, but it was quiet, and he did not even cry.

Even if Mama Li was not good, she hurriedly and secretly informed Concubine Yi, and after settling down as an adult, the child had gradually lost his weak breath.

When Bai Sang heard the news, he only saw the child in Ye Xiuying's arms, who was already blue.

She really didn't expect such an accident, and she wanted to say something comforting at the moment, but she was not a person who was good at words. After being silent for a long time, still wanting to see if the child still had any hope of being saved, he finally spoke: "The child ......"

"White mulberry." After Ye Xiuying heard her voice, she raised her head suddenly, stared at her and said, "Your Highness's matter at the beginning, you were the one who made trouble of it. ”

Bai Sang was stunned, she didn't expect her to suddenly mention these things at this moment, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

Ye Xiuying saw her bowing her head and acquiescing, so she suddenly raised her head and laughed:

"Hahaha, it's really you. What, you're here to see the show? ”

Before Bai Sang could respond, the palace maid Yun Zheng on the side had already protected the lord when she heard this:

"My mother is so kind, how can you-"

"Kind? Don't let her fool you. Your mother is the best at pretending to be a good person, what a good heart, I think she is obviously full of hypocrisy. ”

Ye Xiuying snorted coldly, although she was weak at the moment, she still couldn't help but sneer at Bai Sang:

"Right? Concubine Yi, Your Highness is dead, we are in prison, and we don't even have children! Are you satisfied with this scene? Yes? I don't know how many people you want to kill before you are willing! ”

Bai Sang sighed secretly, realizing that she might have known something about the original incident. When he raised his head to look at her again, he said with a cold voice and an expressionless face:

"If you really hate me, you should take care of yourself so that you can have a chance to get out of prison."

Ye Xiuying clenched her fists and said stiffly:

"Don't worry, I have my own body, I don't need you to be hypocritical here!"

Bai Sang didn't react when he heard it, but Yun Zheng on the side couldn't stand it. After she casually put down the things in her hand, she glared at the person in front of her, and turned to Bai Sangdao:

"Mother, the jailers are coming back, we should go. This person doesn't know the hearts of good people, why is he still talking nonsense with her here. ”

In Yunzheng's eyes, since General Sima and the general's wife were imprisoned, it was the mother who secretly worked hard and spent a lot of money to let the jailers take more care and be more accommodating. Otherwise, I am afraid that there will be something wrong in prison for a long time, but the person in front of him prefers to treat Niangniang's kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs.

Ye Xiuying was still dismissive of this, but continued to mock: "Hmph, yes, Concubine Yi, you can go quickly." As the favorite concubine of the Holy Saint today, you have a noble status, and this is the place where you should come. ”

Bai Sang glanced at Ye Xiuying and the child in her arms again, pursed her lips, and finally turned around and left with Yunzheng without saying a word.

At night, Bai Sang lay on the collapse for a long time, but it was difficult to sleep.

Now even though it is spring, she is covered with a thick brocade quilt, but her hands and feet are still cold. She closed her eyes and heard the rain outside the window start to trickle down at some point, and the small sound of rain seemed to be mixed with other sounds.

In a trance, she even heard someone whispering to herself:

"White mulberry."

The man's voice was so familiar, and it hit his heart directly.

"Ahh

Bai Sang couldn't help but respond softly.

She turned to look around, but only saw a snow-white patch, and she couldn't see any figure: "Where are you?" ”

"What's the matter, do you want to see me?"

The man seemed to be smiling, and his voice was gentle, as warm as today's spring breeze.

Bai Sang choked, was silent for a long time, and said slowly:

"I ...... Don't want to ......"

"Why?" The other party listened to her answer, chuckled, and asked himself, "Is it because of ...... You lied to me, so you didn't dare to see me? ””

Seeing that Bai Sang didn't answer, the man didn't pay attention to her anymore, with a smile in his tone, and still asked unhurriedly:

"Is it because you killed the people of the Jin Palace? Is it because you deliberately used me to carry a trumped-up charge and forced me to flee Kyoto and live incognito? Isn't it? ”

"I ......"

"Isn't it?!"

What was originally a gentle voice suddenly turned into a tough question. Bai Sang was startled, but saw that the figure of the person actually appeared not far away. Bai Sang tried to get closer, but he still couldn't see her appearance clearly, and there was always only a familiar and unfamiliar figure in his eyes.

"Ah Xun ......"

Bai Sang called to her in a low voice, and her answer came again:

"Well, since you don't want to see me, then I'm ......"

The figure in the distance suddenly turned to leave, and Bai Sang couldn't help but panic in his heart:

"Ah Xun, where are you going?"

Bai Sang followed her all the way until she reached the edge of a cliff. I saw the figure stop.

Bai Sang looked at her back, the words were in his throat, and he was silent for a long time, but he still didn't see her turn back. saw the figure turn around and jump, jumping directly off the cliff.

"Don't! Ahh ”

Bai Sang finally exclaimed in surprise, opened his eyes suddenly, and found that he was in a cold sweat again.

She sighed lightly, since she entered the palace, she had been dreaming like this almost every night, but she was still awakened like this every time.

Bai Sang tried to recover from his dream, and heard that the rain outside was still dripping, and the moonlight outside the window was a little sprinkled in, flickering and dimming.

She raised her head, finally saw the scene in front of her, and subconsciously breathed a lot.

In the dark night, a pair of pitch-black pupils stared straight at him.
