She put down the sachet and rested her hands there, refusing to leave. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Su Chen was silent, just watching her deeply from the side, waiting for her to be buried with her own hands.

After a while, Tang Guxi took a deep breath, gently put his ten fingers around the dirt pit, and slowly scratched the broken soil into it. Little by little, the soil fell on the sachet, covering and burying it little by little, until there was no trace at all, and Tang Guxi took his hand back.

Su Chen struck the match, picked up the incense on the ground, and lit the three pillars. After extinguishing the firewood, he gently blew the incense that was glowing with stars, and after its white smoke rose steadily, he held the three incense sticks flat and handed them to Tang Guxi.

Tang Guxi took the incense, his eyes flashed at the flying smoke, he glanced at it fixedly, and then stuck it in the soil. The gaze is like water, staring at it without waves.

"I'm going to burn paper." She opened her mouth slightly.

Su Chen still didn't say a word, picked up a pile of fire paper, took out the match again, lit it and put it on the ground before the incense, and handed over the rest of the fire paper to Tang Guxi.

Tang Guxi took the fire paper and put it on top of the jumping flame little by little, the yellow burning paper was light and invisible, and it quickly turned into ashes as soon as it touched the flame. The burned confetti became lighter and more ethereal, and in an instant, it blew into the air with the breeze, and scattered in an unknown place.

The flames jumped and fluttered, changing rapidly, sometimes bright, sometimes dim. The firelight reflected on their faces, making their faces look illusory and psychic in the bright moonlight.

Finally, the light of the fire faded little by little, and finally dimmed with the last pile of fire paper in his hand. Like the eyes of the night, he took back his hot gaze and closed his eyes.

And the incense on the mound is still burning slowly, and the aroma does not disperse.

Tang Guxi sniffed and raised his head, but when he saw the full moon in the blue sky in the distance, he stopped there in an instant, staring at it stupidly, without saying a word.

Su Chen followed her gaze and saw that the full moon was big and bright, like a huge altar made of white jade, and the top of the altar emitted a soft light, cool as water, bright as a lamp. At this moment, it is very close to this cliff, almost touchable, as if in a dream, extremely unreal.

"This ......" Tang Guxi looked at in surprise, unable to take his eyes off.

"Want to go over and have a look?" Su Chen stared at her side face and said with a smile, "Maybe if you go further, you will get closer to it." ”

Tang Guxi was still staring at the huge full moon, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he nodded in a daze.

Su Chen got up, bent down and leaned close to her, like the last time he was in Lishan, wanting to pick her up. But Tang Guxi was suddenly stunned, turned his head, and hesitated: "You...... Help me up. ”

Su Chen stared at her, nodded, grabbed her arm and helped her up.

The two of them slowly walked to the top of the cliff, and a few feet away from the cliff, Su Chen stopped in time, "It's dangerous to go further ahead, the soil is loose there, and the bottom is as high as a hundred feet, so let's stop there." ”

Tang Guxi glanced at him, nodded, and turned his head to look at the sky, under the bright moonlight, the faces of the two of them were bright and white, like pearls in the sky. The clear spring under the cliff trickles, and the tinkling sound is continuous, like a silver bell.

"The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring stone is upstream." Tang Guxi said lightly, smiled suddenly, and turned his head to look at Su Chen, "This place is so good, but ...... Why didn't I find out about this location before? ”

"If you elaborate, this cliff belongs to the mountain." Su Chen said softly, pointing to a mountain range beside him, "Look, isn't that the place where you fell off your horse that day?" Why, forgot so quickly? ”

Tang Guxi retracted his gaze and said with a little disdain: "How could you forget?" I promise, I won't go to that place if I am killed in this life, and I will clash with the mountain. ”

"Leaving the mountain and you?" Su Chen suddenly smiled and said, "I see, it's a match, right?" He laughed twice, suddenly let go of Tang Guxi, turned his head back, glanced back, and lay down on the ground.

"Ah, that's beautiful." Su Chen put his arms behind his head and pillowed his palms, "If there is no more war, no more contention, and no more killing in the world, I will definitely change my clothes, find a lonely mountain and wild forest, and get away alone until I grow old, and never go back to the palace......" The smile on his face gradually faded, calm as water, and there was no trace of waves.

Tang Guxi looked down at him, slowly sat on the ground next to him, thought about it again, and still spoke: "Does the palace really disgust you so much?" ”

She waited for Su Chen to speak, but after a while, there was still silence behind her. Tang Guxi frowned, turned his head, and saw that Su Chen still maintained his expression, looking at the sky calmly, unable to hook up a ripple.

"Hmm." After a long time, he came with a deep groan.

Tang Guxi's heart sank, as if something was blocked in her chest, her eyes trembled, and she moved to Su Chen's face again, "Your queen mother, when did she die?" ”

"Twenty years ago."

Twenty years...... Tang Guxi was slightly startled.

"I was brought up by Princess Xiao since I was a child, and my queen mother has no impression in my memory." Su Chen said lightly, his voice was not in a hurry, "Princess Xiao treats me like a biological mother, but...... Hey, forget it, presumably Qi Yu has already told you about the things in the palace. ”

Tang Guxi nodded and did not speak.

Su Chen smiled lightly, sat up, and looked at her: "Do you know how my queen mother died?" ”

"Isn't it...... Sick and dead? Tang Guxi was a little surprised.

Su Chen shook his head, "No." In the harem back then, Princess Zhao had always been favored, and my mother died strangely, which was not caused by illness at all, and this matter was ...... Princess Xiao is clear, but she has never dared to tell her father. ”

When Tang Guxi heard this, he was shocked in his heart, who would have expected that the affairs of the harem would be so complicated? It seems that every woman who dies has an unspeakable experience, buried in the deep darkness, buried in decay, and will never be known if no one brings it out.

"But what if my father knows?" Su Chen suddenly smiled bitterly, "In my father's heart, there has never been anyone in the harem, his heart has long since died, along with the person who haunted him, died together, and he will never come back......"

"What do you mean by that?" The more Tang Guxi listened, the more puzzled he became, "Could it be that the love of the king in his heart is not Princess Zhao, but someone else?" ”

Su Chen looked at her and nodded, "Of course it's not Princess Zhao, Princess Zhao's favor stems from Zhao Hou's power in the previous dynasty." And the person my father loved was another woman, whose portrait was always hung on the wall of his dormitory, and was never approached, and I only saw it once. It is indeed the appearance of the country and the city, which is extremely beautiful and moving. ”

"What about this woman? Where are you now? ”

"This woman, who has been married to someone else a long time ago, does not seem to have any feelings for her father. However, he also died more than ten years ago...... If you think about it, it should be the same year that my mother died. ”
