On the first day of the third month of the twentieth year of Chiwu, the capital was broken, the Bing army entered the city, and Mo Ye knelt in front of An Sui, "Master! ”

"Go for all! In this situation, one can be saved. The prince has returned, and you must protect him. Ann Sui looked at them, "Get up! Keep everything hidden. Within half an hour, they will surely enter the palace, and all the seals they want will be in your hands. It must not fall into their hands. ”

"What about you, master?"

An Sui smiled slightly, "I believe in my destiny." Let's go! ”

The sound of burning, killing and looting outside came and went, screams, escapes, killings, and debris were mixed together, and An casually knew in his heart that he was getting closer and closer to the final ending.

Ann Sui stood on top of the golden steps, on the side of the most noble throne, just as she had stood so many years ago, as she had stood so many years later.

The palace gate slowly opened, and the light coming in from outside was on An Sui's face, she couldn't see the appearance outside the palace gate clearly, she only felt that it was dazzling.

Empress Dowager Bing walked in with Marquis Bing, and An Sui felt that her appearance seemed to have passed through the fault line of time, familiar but unfamiliar. The face under the golden crown was no longer what it was when she first saw her more than twenty years ago.

Empress Dowager Bing smiled slightly, "An Sui, but I don't want to, you will still be there." That's the best, new hatred and old hatred, we should also settle the score. ”

When she laughed, the corners of her eyes were slightly hooked, and the narrow Danfeng eyes brought her charm to the extreme, and Jin Tian also looked so dazzling at the corner of her forehead.

No one thought that she would be able to turn over, not even An Sui never thought of it, or never thought of it.

Empress Dowager Bing smiled like a victor, "An Sui, if you are willing to surrender now, this palace will still spare your life, after all, in the palace at the beginning, there is only one person who is really good to me." But if your vision is not so short-sighted, repeatedly rejecting the kindness of this palace, and ruthlessly driving this palace out of the palace, you are not in such a situation now. ”

An Sui stroked the armrest of the throne, the texture of the golden jade had always been cold, but she sensed a trace of warmth, "But I have never regretted it, and I will not in the future." Since I promised him to keep this position, I will guard it until I can't do it anymore, not even you. ”

"Now that everything in the palace has run, the entire capital is under my control, and the soldiers and horses you count on are still struggling to resist the Bing soldiers who don't exist at all thousands of miles away. Who else can you count on? After so many years of suffering in Bingdi, God finally has the eyes to come back here in my lifetime. And it also allows you! Empress Dowager Bing laughed and stretched out her hand to point directly at An Sui, "Let you become a defeated subordinate of this palace!" ”

An Sui lowered his eyes and didn't look at Empress Dowager Bing, "I didn't expect to let you return to the capital." However, you can't think of such a seamless plan. I'm more curious than you, who is the master behind you. ”

"An Sui, you will always be so smart, you might as well guess who replaced you in the palace to make suggestions, so that the palace will get revenge!"

"It's none other than Master Joe!"

Empress Dowager Bing laughed and took two steps forward, "An Sui, An Sui, when would you be less smart, how good it would be." But it doesn't matter, no matter how smart you are, you're just fighting the trapped beasts right now. ”

Bing Hou said, "Master Qiao, since Lord An has already guessed that it is you, you can come out!" ”

Qiao Shi slowly walked in from behind the door, "An Sui, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

An Sui looked into the distance, and his voice seemed to be as illusory as if it was from outside the sky, "No matter what, I can't understand why it's always you in the end." Is it so important to you that you were the champion? ”

"Of course it is." Qiao Shi almost shouted excitedly, "It's not just the position of champion, but also the qiē you get!" ”

Ann Sui looked at her.

Qiao Shi is no longer young, when she was kicked out of the palace, her face was still tortured with ink, and now she wears a half mask to cover the shame on her face. Even so, you can see how beautiful she should have been when she was young.

"Since the beginning of the imperial examination, I have been inferior to you, and I have been forced by you to do everything, which is the case in the history of the Middle Palace, and even the adults of the sect have looked down on you. I don't understand why God is so kind to you. ”

Qiao's face gradually distorted, as if he wanted to eat and peel off the person in front of him alive to be reconciled.

"So, since smallpox, you have been hooking up with her early, for today, you really bothered to endure step by step!"

Qiao Shi pulled out a delicate dagger from his sleeve and approached step by step, "I hate to see you pretentiously the most, whether it is Ah Xuan or the emperor, everyone is fascinated by you." It's good now, from now on, there will be no one who follows An! ”

An Sui closed her eyes gently, and at that moment, she suddenly remembered the scene in the past, in the first year of Chiwu, when she first entered the palace.

At that time, she remembered that the sky was very blue, and it was not as dull as it is today, there were her, Liu Qin, Feng Wurong, Ren Qiwan, Qiao Qiao, Yang Yunyun, and one person, wearing a regular suit, always standing in front of her.

He raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't care, and as if he was looking down on all beings, "An Sui, you are the person next to me, who dares to touch you?" It's not like you're dying! ”

He patted her, gently, and slightly, "An Sui, you cry out, Biluo Huangquan, I am always there." ”

He condescended and asked fiercely, "An Sui, the world and me, or you, which is more important?" ”

He looked into her eyes, and his eyes were calm, "Ansui, the world is impermanent, but I only tell you one word, you can rest assured, there is me." What else did he say, she didn't remember much anymore, but she still remembered the sixty-four-bone jade fan, and she still remembered the plum fragrance of that ridge.

If she died, her only regret was that she couldn't fulfill that promise to him, and she didn't see the most beautiful sunset on the desert with him.

"Qiao Qiao!" A masked man walked in from outside the hall, "Don't do it yet, the seals should be all with her!" ”

An Sui closed his eyes slightly.

"Luo Qing, why are you here?"

The man known as "Luo Qing" wore a mask, but the mask could not hide the criss-crossing scars extending from the top of his face, and the scars under the mask would be even more terrifying.

"What do you mean?" Bing Hou looked at Luo Qing and said with questions.

"The seals are all in your hands, aren't they? Ann Sui, Ann Lord! Luo Qing slowly approached An Sui.

An Sui nodded, "You're smart. ”

"Get it out! How about we send you the whole corpse? ”

Qiao Qiao laughed when she heard this, "Luo Qing, all corpses? ”

Luo Qing nodded.

"Kill!"

Hearing this voice, not only An Sui, but also Marquis Bing, Empress Dowager Bing, and Qiao Qiao all changed their faces. That voice was definitely not Bing Jun's movement!

When An Sui looked at Luo Qing, he found that there was not the slightest surprise on his face, and An Sui's heart sank.

"What's the situation?"

Luo Qing smiled slightly, "What's the situation?" It's just that the prince's reinforcements have arrived! ”

After the Bing army entered the palace, it was burning, killing and looting, and the reinforcements were coming, so naturally they couldn't prevent it, and they didn't even have the consciousness to resist, and the uniform was only a matter of a moment.

In an instant, the reinforcements surrounded the palace, and the person headed by him turned out to be the prince, and the prince Leli walked in, "Dare to rebel against the thief, dare to move troops in my Great Chu Palace!" ”

Qiao Qiao took a few steps back in disbelief, "Impossible, how can this be?" There's no way I'm going to lose. Luo Qing, Luo Qing! ”

Luo Qing protected An Sui behind him without a trace, and stepped forward to catch Qiao Qiao, "Qiao Qiao!" ”

"Luo Qing, how can this be!"

The crown prince said in a deep voice, "Empress Dowager Bing, Marquis Bing, now that everyone inside and outside the palace is already my person, do you think that your half of the talisman can really call the wind and rain?" Now that you turn around, this palace can spare your life! ”

"Impossible! I don't believe it, I've been carefully arranging it for so many years, I'm not reconciled! Empress Dowager Bing's resentful eyes shot at An Sui, "It's you, it's you, right!" Ansui, it's all because of you! ”

With such a reminder, even Qiao Qiao immediately came back to his senses, and the dagger in his hand reached out and stabbed at An Sui, and the prince immediately ordered, "Shoot arrows!" ”

An Sui closed his eyes and clenched his fists, the sound of arrows breaking through the air and the sound of piercing skin and clothing. But the expected pain did not come. An Sui slowly opened his eyes, but Luo Qing's knife stabbed Qiao Qiao's waist, and several arrows had already been hit behind him.

The prince hurriedly ran to An Sui, "Teacher, are you okay?" ”

An shook her head. Empress Dowager Bing and Marquis Bing have already been charged by the guards.

Luo Qing stretched out his hand and pulled out the knife, Qiao Qiao staggered back for a while, covering the wound, "You, Luo Qing, you...... You ...... with her."

"Actually, you already knew it in your heart, but you still didn't want to believe it. I don't know how to deceive people, how many times have I already shown my flaws, you only believe what you want to believe. Qiao Qiao, you always knew it. ”

"Yes! I've always known that I was stupid, three years, three years, and I'd rather believe that you weren't him, or that you would lie to me. Qiao Qiao's blood kept flowing out of the wound, and soon stained the entire skirt red, "I'm always going to lose to her, right?" ”

Luo Qing laughed, "Maybe that's the case. ”

Qiao Qiao finally couldn't support her body and fell backwards, but her hateful eyes never left Luo Qing.

Luo Qing's eyes looked at An Sui, An Sui was involuntarily attracted by those eyes, and the prince stretched out his hand to stop An Sui, "Teacher, danger!" ”

"No, it won't." An Sui pushed away the prince's hand and walked to Luo Qing's side, those eyes were so familiar, An Sui took off his mask with trembling hands, but the face was ruined and he couldn't see anything. Luo Qing closed his eyes in pain as if he couldn't bear to see the face under his mask.

Luo Qing stretched out his hand to gesture something, the plum blossom mark in his palm......

"Lord An, if I encounter any misfortune on the way to Loulan, for the sake of Ah Qin's face, try to get me back, even if it is a corpse, I want to be buried by Ah Qin's side, which is my wish."

"If you can't recognize it, remember to open your palm and take a look, the person with this mark is me."
