110. Leaving the palace

When I woke up again, I was already lying on the bed, covered with a light silk satin brocade quilt, smoked with soothing incense, and my clothes were changed into comfortable and close-fitting cotton nightgowns, obviously being served very thoughtfully.

moved his hands and feet, except for his head, which still throbbed from time to time, there was nothing wrong with his body.

I seem to have had an extremely long and complicated dream, in which I pass through strange or familiar scenes, and emerge one by one or amazing or ordinary faces, only a pair of amber eyes are unforgettable, teaching people to never forget, from beginning to end throughout these pictures, every time I think of it, it is the joy and sorrow of the veins.

I don't know who these eyes belong to, and the face is covered with a hazy veil, and when I am about to see that face, it suddenly transforms into something else, as if there is an invisible force preventing me from continuing to explore and uncover the truth.

Finally, when the dream was shattered and I woke up, I still couldn't see the true face of the owner of those eyes, nor could I sort out these chaotic fragments.

I can't tell if this is a past I have forgotten, or a conjecture that I have been thinking about day and night.

All I know is that when I wake up, even if I am reluctant, I have to face the fact that it has happened—the ridiculous but unrelenting kiss.

It's one thing to have secret emotions in my heart, it's another thing to have etiquette, my identity, my intellect makes it impossible for me to convince myself to fool around like this - how should I deal with Kwong Xixi? How am I going to deal with the royal husband and that shy little guy? Even, the Wei Shu who warned me?

Although Kwong Xihui took the initiative, I can't deny that I did throb because of that kiss, which is why I am so entangled.

All appearances are vain. If there is nothing in the heart, it will not be stained with dust, but if there is a thought in the heart, what then?

…… You can only swing your sword to cut the fate of evil.

Quietly stiffened up in the room for a night, combing through these things one by one, silently recalling the images in the dream, trying to piece together some complete memories - but in vain, it caused a few more headaches, so I had to give up.

No matter what the reason is, in order to avoid embarrassment in the future, if they are separated for a period of time and calm down, it will be good for each other...... Perhaps, this is the best excuse I can come up with to leave the palace.

I made up my mind, as soon as the morning dawned, I called the attendants to change the more formal crown of the prince, and decided to strike while the iron was hot, and immediately went to Kuang Xihui to explain it.

The palace attendant who led the way euphemistically mentioned: "It's just the moment of the hour, I don't know if the court meeting is over, so I go rashly, I'm afraid that His Majesty will not be empty......"

After hesitating for a moment, I still walked along the same path, thinking to myself: if I went to see her with the minister on my side, I would just be a witness from the side, and teach her that there was no reason to put me under house arrest again.

Therefore, I didn't pay attention to the palace attendants who intentionally or unintentionally stopped me, and just blindly rushed forward, and the oncoming guards and attendants saluted one after another, but they didn't dare to stop me.

After walking for a short time, a particularly magnificent and majestic palace appeared in front of him, and even the guards on duty outside the palace gate were a little more solemn than elsewhere.

I came at the right time, only to see the door of the temple slowly open, and the officials in crimson robes rushed out, occasionally with a few dark green robes; After them, a group of officials wearing vermilion robes walked out unhurriedly, and they should be important ministers of the court with official ranks of the first to third ranks.

I had no impression of them, and I was impatient to greet most of these elderly officials, so I waited at a distance from the side of the temple gate, silently waiting for them to leave. After less than a stick of incense, and seeing that there were no more officials leaving the palace gate, I continued to walk forward, waved my hand to avoid the guards guarding the door, and walked in in a grand manner.

- Strange, Fang just glanced at the crowd that left, but he didn't see the figure of the emperor's master Yunchong...... Maybe she doesn't need to be on time for every pilgrimage.

I shook my head, and quickly put this thought behind me, and without waiting for the palace attendant who was guarding outside the hall to pass the word, I followed him directly into the inner hall; The corner of his eye twitched, and he wanted to say something, but he was trembling at my flat gaze, and he was afraid of angering me, so he had to speed up his steps, so he rushed ahead of me to report to his master.

- Ha, my name is still pretty good.

In the past, I always resent the impression of King Ling's domineering, always awkward and helpless when I was respected, and a little faintly sad, but this time it was rare to be a little happy and refreshing - I thought I was really stimulated by Kuang Xixi, and I couldn't wait to leave this palace, but I didn't want to wait even half a moment.

I couldn't help but ask myself: what am I minding and what am I afraid of?

However, when I wanted to continue to think about it, I didn't dare anymore.

"You...... How did it come? Frowning, she waved her sleeve to let the two officials who were listening to the training leave, and instead pulled out a casual smile and gently motioned for me to come forward.

Stepping on the smooth brick surface, looking directly at the high Luanza, there was no mistake or miss a series of changes in her expression from surprise to worry to forbearance when she saw me, and her heart was not tight, and she almost shook her intention.

"I came to you, I have something to ask for." I had already used the word "ask", and Kwong Xihui would not have noticed this, and unconsciously raised his eyebrows, and even the disguised smile faded.

suppressed the previous waver, and opened his mouth after consideration: "I've been in the palace long enough, I want to ......"

Seeing her pursed lips as soon as I opened my mouth, my heart shook, and I couldn't help but think of the fleeting touch yesterday, as if there was still that incredible softness on my lips, my face was hot, and somehow I changed my mouth, and the sentence "I want to go back to the palace to stay" became "I want to go out for a walk, a private visit, the right to relax, maybe I can think of something." ”

"Well, what do you think...... What about going out? Xu himself also noticed how pale the so-called "well" was, Kwong Xihui coughed lightly, avoiding my gaze, and his fingertips unconsciously tapped the gilded armrest of the throne, as if to divert the turmoil in his heart.

"I'm tired of staying in the palace, so I want to go out for a walk, can't I?" Considering her attitude towards the Fu family, I didn't mention going back to the palace to see the prince's husband, and I silently gave up this plan - whether I was cold or cold-blooded, it was a shadow that I couldn't find in my memory, and I didn't want to deceive myself into re-tearing the scab that roughly covered the wound with false attention, so let's not think about it for now.

Besides, I'm not sure if the state of confusion that I can't recall at all of my old things now will hurt the husband who I haven't seen for a long time and is almost a stranger...... It's better to just not see it.

"Are you tired of it......" Kuang Xihui smiled slightly, although this smile seemed to me to be only a symbolic tugging of the corners of his mouth, there was no slightest fluctuation in the bottom of his eyes, and the faint rhetorical question was more like an unconscious repetition, his eyebrows and eyes were indifferent and indifferent, as if he was about to shatter and splash into countless crystals and dissipate into heaven and earth in the next moment--I was frightened by this terrible thought, and I looked at it again, but it was a light and breezy appearance, and even a little bit of forbearance and restraint were gone, as if I was just thinking too much about myself.

"If you want to go out, you can do it, so why should I...... Stopping you? She sighed lowly, and raised a gentle smile like when she first saw her, and she felt sad for no reason.

"You, did you promise?" Bearing the inexplicable sourness in my heart, I asked and confirmed, but I couldn't figure out what I was thinking—why did I feel a little lost and melancholy after she stopped making it difficult to stop her and readily agreed?

"Yes, I agreed." She lowered her head and flipped through a notebook casually, hinting that the conversation had come to an end, "In seven days, when I have made a good arrangement, I will walk around as you like, even if you leave Guanlan City...... Luckily? ”

“…… Good. She began to call herself "I" to me—but my primary concern was not her promise, but the change of title.

…… In the end, is it still estranged from her?

At this point, my purpose has been achieved, and I should have been happy—but why can't I be happy?

As the palace attendant who led the way turned to leave the main hall, the moment he stepped out of the door, the ghost envoy glanced back, but saw that the man was holding the notebook tightly in one hand, and holding his forehead with the other, and his palm covered most of his face, and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but his back, which had been straight since he entered, relaxed, as if he could no longer lean on the back of the chair behind him in embarrassment, seeking a moment of respite.

In the empty hall, her figure was so far away, so empty and helpless—sensitive, fragile and silently stubborn, I suddenly realized that the woman on the throne was not only the lord of the world, but also a lonely person destined to be ruthless.

-- It's cold in the heights.

My heart ached, and even my head ached uncontrollably.

Seven days later, sitting in the well-arranged and elegantly arranged carriage, with a little reluctance and hesitation, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, he slowly drove out of Guanlan City.

Without waiting for me to go down, the carriage drove leisurely in one direction on its own, as if it had the intention of driving - I felt a little inappropriate, and I could not help but stretch out my hand and knock on the wall of the carriage, and asked in a loud voice, "Where is this going?" ”

I didn't pay attention to it before, and I got into the car in a daze, but now I remember that this accompanying qiē was arranged by Kuang Xixi, so it was her person who was driving, and the place she was going to was what she meant?

Now that I've left the palace, I have no intention of being at her mercy any longer.

"Shall we go to the nearest Merlin City first?" The voice of the reply was as warm as jade, and through the curtain of the car, you could feel a trace of joy in the voice, moving, but familiar.

The voice...... No way?

I was startled by my own conjecture and hurriedly shouted to stop.

The carriage slowly stopped, but my heart was pounding and getting faster.

After a while, when I almost couldn't help jumping out of the carriage to take a look, I saw the curtain of the carriage lift, and a woman in a guard's uniform leaned into half of her body, clearly just a shallow hook of her lips, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows revealed a touch of wanton joy: "Your Highness, what do you command?" ”

I was completely stunned.

- Who is this person, not Kuang Xixi!
