Yan Xu still held Xiyue's hand, the corners of her mouth were always smiling shallowly, her eyes were kind and polite, as if she had really met the old man, "Yili, you admit that you are wrong, she is not a leaf, she is Xiyue." He tilted his chin slightly, and said to Xiyue: "Xiyue, I still have to catch up with this person, you go back to the palace first." ”

Xiyue looked at Yili, her mind was booming, she didn't want to go, and her intuition told her that the monk named Yili knew her past and had a lot to do with her.

Yan Xu saw that she didn't move, her face sank, and she said coldly: "Xiyue, be obedient, go back to the palace and wait for me." ”

Xiyue's heart panicked, what she was most afraid of was that Yan Xu was angry with her, if he was angry, he would not see her for a long time. Although she really wanted to find out more about her past from Yili's mouth, she was even more afraid of making Yan Xu angry. She glanced at Yili hesitantly, and Yun Zhu had already stepped forward to take her hand and motioned for her to leave.

Yili took the long sword out of its sheath and ran in the direction of Xiyue, "Yezi, don't be afraid, I'll take you back to the Barren Mountain!" ”

The sword qi is sandwiched with frost, and it has the potential of thunder. Yun Wei, who was scattered everywhere, had already quietly appeared, and he didn't wait to get close to him, and there was a sudden sword light and sword shadow on the bluestone street.

The carriage that answered was approaching, Yun Zhu escorted Xiyue into the carriage, Xiyue saw through the half-covered curtain, and saw Yili and several Yunwei fighting together, Yan Xu stood in place, looking at this qiē for a long time.

The carriage rumbled away, Xiyue leaned out half of her face and looked back, Yili rushed left and right in a sword shadow, desperately trying to get rid of Yunwei's entanglement, chasing in her direction, she was in the carriage that was getting farther and farther away, and vaguely heard Yili's mournful and angry voice, "Yezi...... Don't believe Yan Xu's words...... He is the one who has harmed you like this...... He's not a good guy...... He's a demon......"

As the carriage drifted away, the howling wind swallowed his words, and his figure was annihilated in the flying snowflakes, and he returned to calm.

Since that night, Yan Xu has not come to see her. She kept thinking of the figure of the monk named Yili who was rampaging under the siege of Yunwei that night, and she intuitively guessed that there seemed to be a grudge between the monk and Yan Xu, she was Yan Xu's person, and she should share the same hatred with him, but inexplicably, she was worried about Yili's safety.

She grinded Yunzhu for a few days, and Yunzhu finally couldn't stand her broken thoughts, and told her that Yili left after a hard fight that night, and she was not injured. She calmed down and asked Yili's identity again, but Yunzhu refused to let go, only reminding her that Yili was the rebel of the prince, and it was best not to mention this person in front of the prince.

It snowed for several days, but today it finally cleared. The palace is covered with a thick layer of snow, only the green tiles are occasionally exposed on the edge of the eaves, Xiyue sits on the top of the palace, from this angle from a distance, the nine-fold palace, even a continuous piece, no matter how you look at it, you can't see the end.

She snapped her fingers, since that night, it has been ten days, Yan Xu has not come to see her, obviously the two live in the same palace, she wants to see him but it is difficult to reach the sky. The warmth when she went to the lantern festival that night seemed to be just her illusion. She couldn't understand why he could spoil her when he was good to her, but in the past, he could be so cold to her, and he didn't even say a word.

"Hey, it's freezing, what are you doing up there?"

Yan Min's voice came from below, Xiyue looked down, Yan Min was wearing a mink fur, put his hands to his mouth and breathed the heat, and looked up while stomping his feet. Behind him stood the Flame Messenger named Zishuo, looking up at her curiously.

"Come down, you have good luck today, I brought the autumn dew white given by my father, and I drank it just right this day."

It has been snowing heavily for several days, Yan Min has not been out for a few days, and today it was finally sunny, so he brought wine and went to Jiyue Palace. It's a pity that Xiyue didn't have the heart to entertain him at this time, so she glanced at him and retracted her body.

"I don't want to drink today, you find someone else to drink."

"Hey, I said, what's there to see on there?" Yan Min touched the soft nail, it was rare that he didn't lose his temper, stretched his neck and jumped on tiptoe, but he was interested, he beckoned to Zishuo, "Zishuo, come, I'll go up and take a look." ”

Zishuo didn't say a word, stepped forward and grabbed Yan Min's waist, lifted his breath, and took Yan Min to the top of the hall. Yan Min smiled, and the cat leaned over and touched Xiyue's side. Xiyue was helpless, afraid that he would catch a cold, so she gave him the cowhide cushion under him. Yan Min sat down, looked around excitedly, rubbed his hands and said, "Good girl, it's the first time I've seen this court from such a high place, it's a novelty." Ay? Isn't that an invitation to Sendai? Looking at it like this, I don't realize how magnificent it is. ”

He pointed to the south, a tower was raised high in the middle of the palace, standing in the south of the palace, it was the prayer platform specially built for the first emperor after the banquet of the first emperor, it is said to be the highest building in the whole Yicheng, and you can overlook the entire Yicheng on it.

He was full of interest, and pointed to another place, "Look, that's the Deqing Palace, the hall where the old man went to court." Further north, where there is a ginkgo, is the Shaoning Palace where I live, the ginkgo has been a hundred years old, and in autumn it is golden yellow, and those little maids like to pick up its leaves the most......"

The emperor was disgusted with Yan Min, and Yan Min didn't treat his father very much, and after getting acquainted with Xiyue, he only called him an old man in private.

Xiyue only glanced lightly and then looked away, listening to him babble for a while before asking, "Then do you know which hall Jinyun is in now?" ”

Yan Min sneered disdainfully, "I know that I miss him all day long, you are really good." What's so good about him, don't you just read more books and look more handsome? There are many such people in the Yicheng family, you are so rare to him, and I don't see him value you much, and he doesn't even give you a name. ”

Although he said this with his mouth, he actually knew in his heart that Yan Xu was worthy of the dragon and phoenix among people, he just couldn't get used to seeing the people around him like pearls, but he looked at him as a prince.

Seeing Xiyue holding her knees and looking at the temple in the distance, Yan Min pointed impatiently to the distance, "There, Chengde Palace, is the old man's study, if the old man still has to discuss matters, he will announce the courtiers to the Chengde Palace." At this hour, most of the people you have in mind are paying homage to the old man in the Chengde Palace. ”

Xiyue's eyes lit up, and she looked in the direction of Chengde Hall in a daze.

Yan Min snorted, angrily picked up a dead branch that fell on the tile, and for a while he was smoking indiscriminately, he was bored, and suddenly heard Xiyue say: "Prince, I want to ask you to do me a favor." ”

He was stunned and a little curious, "What's the matter?" ”

She turned to look at him, "Look up my background and my past." ”

At this time, Yan Min came to his senses, threw away the withered branch in his hand and sat up straight, "You, why are you?" Didn't you forget what happened before because you were sick? What was your previous background, didn't Yan Xu ever sue you? ”

"All he said was that I was an orphan, the sister of one of his deceased people, who was no longer alive."

Xiyue shook her head, her expression a little indifferent. She had tried every means to inquire about her past before, but she was trapped in the palace, and there were not many people who could ask, the palace people who served her did not know about it, Yunzhu knew but would not reveal it, Yan Xu would not say more, and if she asked him, he would only look at her with a calm face, and she could see that her heart was empty.

"He didn't like me to ask about the past, so I didn't dare to ask more, and he never told me who the old man he was talking about." She thought that he probably took care of her for the sake of the old man.

Yan Min glanced at her, "You have always regarded him as the sky, since he doesn't like you to ask, why do you still want to check?" Aren't you afraid that he will get angry when he finds out? ”

She bit her lip, and the words of Yili sounded again that night, it was he who caused you to be like this, he was a demon...... Her face was a little pale, "I...... I don't think it's easy. On the night of the festival, he and I met a monk in Dongshi named Yili ......"

"Leave?" Zi Shuo, who was guarding behind the two, was suddenly surprised: "Did you meet and leave?" Did he shave again? ”

Xiyue turned her head to look at Zishuo, "Do you know him?" Who is he? ”

Zishuo lowered his eyes and looked at Xiyue, her ignorant and innocent appearance made him have unspeakable grief and sadness in his chest, he clenched his fists tightly, and only said coldly: "A layman who is obviously unfinished and can't leave greed and hatred, but he deceives himself, eats fasting and recites Buddha every day, and is not afraid of blaspheming the gods." ”

Xiyue was a little stunned, she had a heartfelt closeness to Yili, although there was not much contact that night, she could feel Yili's kindness to her, but from Zishuo's mouth, she could hear his dissatisfaction and hostility towards Yili.

She was a little angry, "I asked you who Yili was, and you said it means you didn't say it." Do you know him? Know who he is? If you don't know, don't talk about it. Also, what did you say about him being re-shaved? ”

Zishuo looked at her directly, his lone wolf-like eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a jumping flame in his eyes, "I don't know that kind of cowardly villain." He ignored Yan Min and jumped straight off the eaves and left.

Xiyue was dumbfounded, and said angrily to Yan Min: "Arrogant! How do you discipline your subordinates, even if he is rude, you can bear him. ”

Yan Min sneered: "It's rude, I'll go back and teach him a lesson." By the way, what did you just say about that monk? ”

She slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity and pondered the scene of that night, "He said that his name is Yili, and he asked me to make leaves, and he seems to know me." She knew that Yan Min had always been hostile to Yan Xu, so she didn't say in detail what was unfavorable to Yan Xu that night, but said: "If you are willing to help me check, you can start with the Barren Mountain, the Great Compassion Temple, and the Caowei Hall." ”
