In the Imperial City, the lights of the Zihuan Palace were not extinguished all night.

It wasn't until the eastern sky revealed a touch of fish belly white, and Xiao Ning, who had been sitting at the window for an unknown number of hours, slowly stood up from the table.

The people guarding the door had been listening with bated breath to the movement in the room.

She stood there quietly, unable to speak, but over the years, her sense of hearing was sharper than normal.

With a gentle knock on the door, she quietly walked into the temple.

Xiao Ning, who was standing by the window, turned his head to see the tray in the hand of the dumb palace maid, and the medicinal soup that exuded heat did not know how many times he had changed it this night.

He shook his head and said, "Let's let it go for now, go and invite Mr. Ge for me, I have something important to discuss with him." ”

The dumb palace maid did not leave this time.

Xiao Ning waited for a moment, but did not see any movement on her side.

He raised his head in a daze and glanced at the palace maid who had been with him for so many years and was almost as familiar with his family, and a look of surprise slowly appeared in his eyes.

"Did you hear me?"

Xiao Ning raised her voice a little and repeated, and the dumb palace maid stood stubbornly in place, not moving.

Xiao Ning repeated it again, and saw that the slender figure guarding the curtain lowered his head, but his shoulders moved quietly.

After taking a few steps in her direction, Xiao Ning's eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

He was the first time he saw that she was crying

Big tears flowed down her cheeks one by one, and the dumb palace maid stood there stubbornly, always motionless, as if she hadn't heard anything Xiao Ning commanded.

"You, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Ning was a little at a loss.

The dumb palace maid has always been by his side for as long as he can remember, and for so many years, she has taken care of his diet and daily life, and has done her best.

She stopped her tears, stretched out her finger and tapped the tray, but she didn't see Xiao Ning react, she simply held the tray in front of Xiao Ning's eyes.

Xiao Ning's gaze fell on the plate. Seeing a delicate jar inside, the dumb palace maid gestured a few times, and Xiao Ning understood.

I understood it, but the nameless fire in my heart was suddenly stimulated.

"Since you're leaving. Just walk cleanly, what are you doing with all this? ”

The dumb palace maid was anxiously gesturing, and her hands kept moving.

"You said that the plums she made by herself before leaving, or did the people who stayed in the garden send them quickly?"

"Letter?"

Xiao Ning's breathing tightened, and the mute palace maid fumbled in her sleeve for a while before she took out a tightly sealed letter and handed it to Xiao Ning.

It was just a letter, but Xiao Ning hesitated for a few seconds before taking it.

It was a little heavy in his hand, and he opened it quickly, and even his fingers trembled slightly.

The letter was heavier than he had imagined, and he wrote several of them.

The handwriting is beautiful and neat. With her temperament, it is not easy to be able to patiently write so many sheets.

Since she fell ill, in the Lingering Garden, how many times has it cost her to spend her energy?

It took Xiao Ning half an hour to read the letter. At the end, he suddenly changed color, and said continuously: "Hurry up and invite Mr. Ge to come to me." ”

The dumb palace maid wiped her tears and was about to leave, but Xiao Ning stopped her: "Don't go, I'll go to Mr. Ge in person." ”

The morning sun finally rose from the sky, and in a rare good weather, Xiao Ning walked out of Mr. Ge's residence in the backyard of Zihuan Palace. The long figure moved slowly on the path, and the expression on his face was dejected

The door of the hot spring villa was closed, and it took a long time to knock before the master's boy came to open the door, and when he saw Jing Lan, he said calmly: "Son, please go back, don't disturb for the time being." ”

"Master, he's out of the customs?" Jing Lan resisted the urge to step forward and grab the boy's shoulder and ask questions. "Did the letter be delivered to the lodge?"

"I've received the letter and read it."

"Master, what did he say?" Jing Lan's hand was held by Ah Lie, and he couldn't wait to ask.

"Childe said, I have to wait a few days before I can see you. He knows all about the letter, it's his own business, and he has his own plans so that you don't have to worry about it. ”

Living up to my painstaking efforts, I arrived at the territory of Shikun Mountain, but I learned that I was faced with a big joke in front of me.

The snow was so heavy that the road to the mountain was almost broken, which meant I had only two options.

Waiting for the weather to improve before you can hope to be able to enter on horseback, this choice is obviously time-consuming, and the ice and snow season only begins in Shikun Mountain in early winter.

The second possibility is to abandon the horse and walk on the cold and difficult trails, which are not suitable for horseback riding, but for hiking, it can reach the depths of Shikun Mountain faster.

The deserted inn at the foot of the mountain was originally closed, and the owner of the inn here is an old lady, and there are only a few rooms in the inn.

I've heard that she's been here for years.

When the weather is right, people on both sides will move around and trade.

The alien races in Shikun Mountain need to take out the prey hunted in the mountains and the rare medicinal materials they find in exchange for what is not available in the mountains, and there are many Han people on the other side who trade into the mountains.

In the season when the snow closed the mountain, the eldest lady never imagined that there were still people who wanted to enter the mountain.

On the day of arrival, my wolf bèi situation barely frightened the eldest lady.

After days of hurrying, the load of the body has reached the limit, and sometimes, the only thing that supports people to go down is that part of willpower.

The wind and snow were raging all night outside, and I just had a short pause, and I lay on the table, waiting for my aunt to cook for me, and I actually fell asleep.

The dream is extremely unstable, I feel weak and powerless, and my forehead is even more burning, a beautiful novel:.

When the eldest lady came out with some simple pickled vegetables stored in the cellar and a bowl of cooked hot porridge, she was so frightened when she saw the scene at the table that she hurriedly ran over and pushed me, "What's wrong with you?" ”

I woke up in a daze, cheered up, saw the helpless lady, subconsciously reached out and wiped it on my face, and when I realized it, my heart gradually sank, but with a relieved apology on my face, I squeezed out a smile and said: "It's an old problem." ”

I slept in the inn for a whole day and a night before I woke up, during which my aunt came to see me a few times, I felt it, but my eyelids were heavy and I couldn't open them.

Once again fully conscious, I felt a little more strength in my body, and I got up and went out.

After eating some simple pickles and porridge, I inquired about the route into the mountain.

The snow outside the window stopped, and the thick pile was half a foot high on the road, and the horses that followed me all the way ate the grass that the lady had fed them under the trees in the courtyard.

Compared to the first time I saw it in Yingtian. After days of traveling, it was also very thin.

There was not much silver left in my arms, and after thinking for a moment, I saw the busy back of my eldest mother. Turning my eyes to the horses, I made up my mind.

If this trip to Shikun Mountain doesn't go well, I probably won't need this horse.

What's more, the path I was going to take would not have allowed me to bring this horse into it in the first place

I opened my eyes, my gaze swept over the people waiting by the chuang, over Jing Lan, and the young man who couldn't be named, stayed on Xiao Chu's face, and his eyes were blue and black.

It's been a long time since we were separated. At this moment, I wanted to raise my hand to touch his face, but I couldn't exert my strength, so I could only ask him in a low voice and eagerly: "What's wrong with you, what's wrong with you?" ”

Jing Lan beside the bed suddenly turned around and walked out. The young man followed her

Walking out of the courtyard, walking all the way to the cliff, taking a few deep breaths at the sky, Jing Lan suppressed her uncomfortable chest and said: "Don't look at her own ghostly appearance, actually, the first thing she said when she woke up asked my master." ”

"So, don't get in the way." Ah Lie walked behind her and said quietly. "The two of them are in love, you didn't see that your master is also in love with her."

"You understand, but she has already announced that she wants to be the crown princess, you don't understand."

"I'm a man, and I know your master's mind better than you."

"What a bullshit princess. Then she has to be willing, do you look at her like she is willing? ”

"Voluntary, she will travel thousands of miles to Shikun Mountain to find your master?"

"The one who doesn't understand, it's you."

Snow is falling outside the hot spring resort. The room was as warm as spring, Xiao Chu raised his hand to pick me up, walked to the window, he gently opened a window, revealing a gap, and the cold wind blew in with the fragrance of plums in the courtyard.

I moved in his arms, and when I opened my eyes, I saw those bright eyes with a slight smile.

I tilted my head, smelled the fragrance of tea wafting from the small red clay stove in the room, took a deep breath, looked at him beggingly, and said, "You cook like this every day, how can I stand it, make an exception for me to drink a few sips today." "I heard Jing Lan say that this batch of snow buds is difficult to transport, but it is rare sweet." "It's not that I won't give it to you, the medicine used this time is not suitable for drinking tea, you need to wait a few more days." "I know it's not appropriate, you still deliberately cook tea in front of me, you" "I'll take you back in the spring,." "Aren't you very comfortable living in the house of Hot Spring Villa, go back, where do you go back?"

Xiao Chu reached out and rubbed my hair to make me more comfortable, he held my arm and said, "Go back and sort out the relics left by Mr. Mu." "I can't even walk now." "I will ask Jing Lan to prepare the carriage, and there is a happy event before leaving, and she has advanced the wedding date."

I was happy at first, then lowered my head and said with a gloomy expression: "It's really a happy event." “

Xiao Chu tugged my hair for me, and his eyes fell on my face, sensing the subtle changes in my feelings.

He looked at me with a smile

The past is like a dream.

I consciously drifted in a void of space.

If you want to try to grab something, but even moving your body is a luxury.

The moment I opened my eyes, I saw the person in front of me, and it was still like a light moon, Yun Chu gently pinched my face and said, "What a nightmare, I can't wake up." “

I had a few seconds, as if I didn't recognize him.

After a moment of silence, I whispered: "It's a strange dream, but I can't remember the things in the dream, Yun Chu, how long have we been in the secret realm?" "You've been sleeping for days, and there's something weird about this place." Yun Chu got up, looked at me with gentle eyes and said, "Xiao Ling'er, go out with me to have a look." “

With doubts in my heart, I followed the path when Yun Chu slowly walked out behind him, Yun Chu's footsteps stopped, and he reached out to hold my hand.

When I came to the outside of the cave, an even more strange scene appeared, and it was clearly not the way I came from in my impression with him.

The whole forest covers the sky and the sun, and there are tall trees that cannot be named.

Yun Chu frowned and said: "It's really weird, I came out to check it a few times, and I had an indescribable feeling." "Xiao Ling'er, your dreams have a little impression, even if it's just a little."

I closed my eyes and thought about it hard, thinking that my forehead was sweating, but there was still no gain! "Okay," Yun Chu led me and walked along the dense forest outside the cave, he stayed in the bushes that covered the sky and the sun, turned his head to identify the direction, "There is the sound of water flowing ahead, go there." “

When he went out with me, I always thought he was the backbone, and once I mentioned yì, I rarely refuted it.

After walking for a short time, he saw the river and found an abandoned boat near the river bank, Yun Chu looked down and looked around, and said in a low voice: "Trim it, it's more than enough to take the two of us." "Yun Chu, where does this river flow?" "Since it is flowing water, it must be able to go outside, try to sail down the water and find the way."

Three days later, in the rapids, dozens of zhang waterfalls are suspended in the middle, and the boat is like an arrow, unstoppable, and cannot be climbed

It was the drifting memory of the Falcon Society in the previous life, but it was the beginning of another separation.

Yun Chu and I were separated.

(ps: The final chapter of the second volume, a little longer, I can see it in the clouds, I'm waiting to go out :)
