In July, the sun is getting hotter and hotter. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoOn the fifth watch, the sun's rays have pierced through the clouds and shone on the leaves of every branch. Looking through the window, you can already feel the rows of heat waves that splash on the earth.

On the branches of the forest, the cicadas were full of strength and screamed desperately. Outside the city, Xiao Mansion is a small and compact courtyard. It was once given to him by Jun Hao when Xiao Yihan left the palace and went to the border pass. Later, Xijon came to attack, and this courtyard was abandoned for a long time.

It wasn't until Xiao Yihan's arrival that the courtyard was simply cleaned up. It looks like a home, and at this moment Xiao Yihan is boiling a decoction. It was so easy for him to rescue Liang Yuzhen from the palace. What's more, she is his sister again, and he can't give it up.

So the desire to leave the palace and fly away with Wanning was also temporarily stranded at this moment. Xiao Yihan knew that he was sorry for Wanning, but he couldn't be sorry for Liang Yuzhen either. If he hadn't gone to Chen Guo at the beginning, Liang Yuzhen would not have come to Donglu.

Speaking of the responsibilities, Xiao Yihan still has half of the responsibility. The day before yesterday, when he was patrolling the city, he saw a raging fire in the palace. At first, he thought that something had happened to Wanning. Later, I asked the palace to know that it was Liang Yuzhen.

Although Liang Yuzhen is a concubine, she is not a real princess in the end. In addition, Liang Yuzhen originally attempted to assassinate, and no one will ask about this layer of guilt even if he is burned to death. As Liang Yuzhen's eldest brother, Xiao Yihan finally temporarily gave up Wanning to rescue Liang Yuzhen.

Fortunately, he arrived in time, and Liang Yuzhen was only injured a little flesh and skin. originally wanted to send Liang Yuzhen back to the palace, but Xiao Yihan understood the stakes. He took Yuzhen back to his house, and he had to watch Yuzhen recover in person.

Otherwise, if this matter spreads, it will definitely alarm Chen Guo. At that time, they will use this as an excuse to attack the eastern foothills on a large scale. He turned around and looked at the sleeping Yuzhen, and felt deeply relieved. At least she has nothing to do, otherwise the consequences are really unimaginable.

I don't know how long it took before I saw Yuzhen's eyelids floating slightly. Xiao Yihan knew that Yuzhen had woken up, so he slowly helped her up, and then put a high pillow behind her. A bowl of decoction was handed to Yuzhen's eyes.

But seeing Yuzhen looking at the bitter medicine, she shook her head slightly. Xiao Yihan took a bite of the decoction by himself, and then said to Yuzhen with a smile: "Zhen'er, look, this medicine is not bitter......" It turned out that Xiao Yihan took the medicine by himself to coax Yuzhen.

Looking at Xiao Yihan's slight smile, Yuzhen couldn't help laughing. simply pouted and said coquettishly: "That Zhen'er won't eat either, unless, unless Brother Xiao feeds me!" "In the end, it is a little younger, this look and Yuzhen, who has a stronger personality just met, are really like two people.

I don't know why, I saw Yuzhen's well-behaved appearance. Xiao Yihan remembered Wanning, he remembered Wanning when she was young. is also like this, as if Yuzhen's smile is mixed with graceful eyebrows. I didn't check it at all, and it looked like a person.

couldn't resist such a lovely Yuzhen, Xiao Yihan could only use a small spoon to scoop up a small spoonful of medicine and hand it to her lips: "I just begg, you get better quickly, and then ......" He suddenly stopped, and wanted to say that if Yuzhen got better quickly, he could leave with Wanning, but he finally felt that it was inappropriate.

The summer afternoon is long and lazy. The sun's shadow shone into the courtyard, and Xiao Yihan was quietly reading a book. The soft light shrouded Xiao Yihan's entire body. It's like a sculpture, so quiet and elegant. Yuzhen was lying in front of the window, and she liked to watch Xiao Yihan read the book the most.

But I saw that he was wearing a light blue printed gown and tied up his long black hair. Sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, holding a book and reading it selflessly. Occasionally, a gust of wind blows the fallen flowers off the branches. It just falls between the lines, like a sheet music between the strings.

It's good that I'm not a prince or nobleman in this life. But she got an elder brother for nothing, and Yuzhen was still very grateful for the encounter with Xiao Yihan from the bottom of her heart. Or if it weren't for the princess being killed. How could she leave the palace and meet Xiao Yihan.

In Yuzhen's impression, Xiao Yihan is a versatile man. Not only does he play the piano well, but he also has a very delicate mind. For example, the last time on Chinese New Year's Eve in Chen Guo, Xiao Yihan accompanied him. Although it was snowing heavily, as long as he saw Xiao Yihan's eyes, it was enough to warm Yuzhen throughout the winter.

After living in the house for so many days, Yuzhen is still used to such quiet days. Sometimes she was still sleeping, and Xiao Yihan was reading a book on the side. never disturbed her rest, or when Yuzhen was in better spirits, he played the piano to her.

Sometimes, Yuzhen often wonders what kind of woman will be in Xiao Yihan's eyes. At that time, Yuzhen didn't know that Wanning was the gardenia in Xiao Yihan's heart. She only vaguely knew that the relationship between Wanning and Xiao Yihan was extraordinary.

It wasn't until later that I looked at the figure of Xiao Yihan and Wan Ning leaving together. Yuzhen only realized that some things were already doomed. But Yuzhen is already very satisfied, at least Xiao Yihan is her eldest brother and has saved her.

A butterfly flutters its wings, as if lost in its path. Shuttling among the flower forests, Yuzhen came out of the house. Chasing butterflies back and forth, but Xiao Yihan heard Xiao Yihan say softly: "The body is fine, don't rest well in the room, until you run out......"

Although it was a reproachful word, it was full of care in Yuzhen's ears. She stopped and stood there silently. With his hands behind his back, he moved to Xiao Yihan step by step. Like a child who has made a mistake, waiting for the punishment that is coming.

"Then I'll punish you, read this paragraph to me," Xiao Yihan's slender index finger pointed to the line of handwriting in the book. The ink is splashed picturesquely, and every handwriting is like the shadow of a gardenia. The clean and delicate font, one horizontal and one vertical, between one skimming and one pinch, is mixed with the breath of spring.

To this day, Yuzhen still remembers when she took that book. But she was amazed that this was a book she had never read. It's not like a printed font on the market, but a beautiful character. Neat and delicate, it seems to unfold a light ink painting between the lines.

Yes, how could Yuzhen have read such a book. This is the poem that Wanning used to send to Xiao Yihan before. Later, they were all sorted out by Xiao Yihan one by one, and then copied them one by one, compiled and summarized. When I'm free, I take it out and read it quietly.

"At that time, the gardenia bloomed, and the fragrance overflowed overnight and a half. When the plants and trees know that there is love, do the Jun family know it? Reading such delicate words, Yuzhen can actually feel it. This must be a woman, a graceful Jiangnan woman.

A clear blue sky with a few wisps of white clouds. It's like a Jiangnan ink painting, splashing ink and the clouds on this canvas, which is a few bits of bohemianism. Around the Zhengyang Palace, four large buckets of ice cubes have already been placed, so the room is extremely cool.

I thought that staying in the palace and staying by Jun Hao's side would be very happy. But since yesterday, when Jun Hao shook his head and told himself that he couldn't change anything for her, Wanning's heart was very sad. She is not a vexatious woman, she just thinks about being with Jun Hao.

In the past, when she faced Jun Hao, she just regarded him as Xiao Yihan's shadow. knew that in the later days and nights, Wanning slowly understood her heart. Especially during that period in Yuchi, that kind of longing increased day by day and never dissipated.

After returning to China, she wanted to stay by Jun Hao's side. Even if she saw Jun Hao with other women, Wanning's heart would be infinitely jealous. Although she also knew that she was just a maid and was not qualified to take care of the so-called harem affairs.

But her desire to take Jun Hao for herself became stronger and stronger. This time, when Xiao Yihan said that he wanted to save Liang Yuzhen, Wanning was actually happy. At least he could stay in the palace, but who would have thought that Jun Hao would say such hurtful words.

In the past few days, Jun Hao's body is slowly recovering, and Wanning also wants to stay. But seeing Jiang Lingyan's figure, Wanning still stopped. Occasionally, I went to Zhengyang Pavilion to see Qingluan, or went to the study to talk to Chu Yunhong about some government affairs.

It was around that time that Wan Ning slowly understood some of the deceit in the court. For example, Wang Qibo's conspiracy, such as Jiang Lingyan's selfish desires, such as the helplessness of being a king. At dusk, Wan Ning still boiled rice wine and sent it to Zhengyang Hall as usual.

When she just walked to the door, she met Jiang Lingyan head-on. But seeing Jiang Lingyan's face crimson and smiling, there was a feeling of happiness surrounding. Wan Ning didn't answer her, just lowered her head and stood aside, making way for Jiang Lingyan.

"I've already had dinner," Jun Hao didn't lift his head, and continued to look at the book. I think that when Jiang Lingyan came just now, she probably had dinner with Jun Hao. Thinking of this, Wan Ning's heart was a little uncomfortable.

However, she still slowly put down the rice wine, and turned to Jun Hao and said, "The slave maid is still the maid in front of the palace, so naturally she wants to serve here." When she finished saying this, she suddenly felt a little stiff, how could she not say a good word when facing Jun Hao.

"Yan Wanning," Jun Hao suddenly called her name, and then gently walked to her side, leaned down, and looked at her with deep eyes, "Are you still ignoring me because I didn't promise you something yesterday?" ”

How could it be, how could Wanning be angry with him? She stopped, lowered her head and whispered, "After a while, the slave will leave...... The emperor won't either, looking at the slave and maid upset......" This last sentence, the voice was so low that even Wanning couldn't hear it.

"I'm that terrible? So you've been hiding from me all the time? Is he questioning, or is he expecting some definite answer? Wan Ning didn't know, Wan Ning just wanted to know Jun Hao's heart at this moment. Even if you hear a false word of comfort before leaving the palace.

Many years later, Wanning stood lonely beside the gardenias, looking forward to that familiar figure. It's just that time is gone, and no one will go back to what they used to be. There was only a wisp of dark incense, which was still slowly wafting away in the Zhengyang Palace. When can you see Jun Hao's sincerity?

Under the dim candlelight, there was Jun Hao's lonely figure. Wan Ning picked up the small scissors and gently cut the wick of the candle. So the hall lit up slightly, and Wanning clearly saw that Jun Hao's face was a little haggard. "The emperor should, rest early," Wan Ning reminded softly.

"What does Ning'er have to do before she is willing to stay?" Jun Hao suddenly raised his bloodshot eyes. I asked expectantly, not wanting such a sudden sentence. Let Wanning's heart be slightly flooded. It seems that Jun Hao has said such things before.

There were so many prayers that even the listeners were a little numb. Like a pebble, it is thrown into the ripples in the heart of the lake, and then it is as calm as water. Wanning still doesn't change, and it's still those reasons: let go of Xiao Yihan and avenge Jiang Lingyan for herself.

"If Xiao Lang is a soldier defending the city, it is indeed overkill," Wan Ning analyzed one by one, "It is better to continue to serve in the military department, or to divide Wang Qibo's rights." The emperor doesn't want to let Donglu repeat the mistakes of last year......"

In fact, in Wanning's heart, she still has the society in her heart. It's just that Jun Hao is too suspicious, if he wants to reuse Xiao Yihan as the only one, then he will inevitably enter the palace from time to time, and he will naturally have more opportunities to meet Wanning. Jun Hao will not do this.

As for Jiang Lingyan, it is even less to worry about. As long as the time comes, just find an excuse to send her into the cold palace. It's just that Jun Hao refused, for fear of criticism from the world. Wan Ning was a little angry at this point: "Isn't the emperor afraid, the world says that she ruined Donglu?" ”

Yes, if it weren't for Jiang Lingyan's excessive selfish desires. How could they unite with Chu Junyan and the Rong soldiers to occupy the city in the eastern foothills, resulting in the misery of the people and the fall of mountains and rivers. Isn't Jiang Lingyan a sinner in Donglu? Saying that there will be atonement for sins is just an excuse.

In Wanning's opinion, Jun Hao's heart still misses Jiang Lingyan. Otherwise, how could he protect Jiang Lingyan, and now he is even more favored to her. is not only Wanning's jealousy, but also the future disaster of Donglu. The falling flowers outside the window are scattered, and they return to their homeland.

Listening to what Wan Ning said, Jun Hao unconsciously muttered in a low voice: "Yan'er really deserves it, but if it wasn't for her, how could she find out Duanmu Kang's whereabouts." Things have come to this point, and you have to find an opportunity to ......."

At the beginning, Jiang Lingyan took a lot of scheming to return to the palace, including pretending to catch Duanmu Kang and asking Chu Junhao for credit as a condition for returning to the palace. Current affairs are like this, and it was logical for Jiang Lingyan to enter the palace at that time. But now I heard that she is suspected of murdering Liang Yuzhen.

The fire in the torture room, Wan Ning suspected that Jiang Lingyan had done it. "Since the emperor said so, it is better to let Ning Er help you," Wan Ning seemed to understand Jun Hao's hard work and helplessness, and thought about it unconsciously, "Xiao Lang has been to Chen Guo, so he naturally knows the twists and turns, just ask Xiao Lang." ”

"If this succeeds, will you stay in the palace?" Jun Hao's concern at this time is only on Wan Ning. After all, Jun Hao was injured last time, and his chest was still aching. When the weather is a little wet, he will feel sore.

Staying in the palace, Xiao Yihan must go to the military department to serve. Wan Ning will not look at Wang Qibo and abuse his power in the military department. And according to Xiao Yihan's inference, the murder of Princess Chen Guo and the blame for Donglu are vaguely related to Wang Qibo, so Xiao Yihan is more responsible and investigates and collects evidence in the Ministry of War.

Speaking of which, Wan Ning's mind is still on Xiao Yihan. Jun Hao suddenly grabbed Wan Ning's hand and said with anticipation: "I promised you this condition and let Xiao Yihan go to the military department...... You stay in the palace...... That way, you can see each other from time to time, don't you think? ”
