It's a dark promenade again.

The wind was cold, and I was thinly dressed, so I wrapped my arms around my body to keep warm.

I know, I'm dreaming again. It can be seen from the clothes on the body, but why, I dreamed of that night, the night when I died with Zhaohua.

I walked aimlessly between the long palaces of Shao Palace.

"Let's go back." I could vaguely hear Grandpa Su say impatiently. "How many times have I told you, Your Highness is not available, not available tonight, not available tomorrow, and not available in the future."

Please let my father-in-law report again, I have something to see Master, and I really want to see him, just be there.

At that time, I begged a father-in-law so humbly, and those words were repeated over and over again in my heart, and what was it to live in the world as the lord of a dead country.

I just wanted to know if he would come to see me if I had asked to see him one last time with the determination to die.

"Don't embarrass us as subordinates, no matter how many times you report it, Your Highness won't see you. Why are you so troubled, Your Highness is extremely gracious when she thinks of the old love and left you with a life, you don't have to inch in. ”

At that time, all the grievances came up with the cold words I received.

The deep feelings of my memory were brought up again, and I began to doubt the reality of this nightmare.

"It's better to live like her, than to die."

It was the phrase I heard the most from the people around me at that time.

I persevered through the hardest days, but at that time I let go, because I couldn't hold on, and when I began to realize that I could only be a drag on him, and when he threw out the dagger with his back to me, I knew that he was tired too.

From the mountains to the court, we can't go any further. At that time, he had never said a word to me, and he cared about my words, and with the persistence of one person, he had already come to an end here.

If my death can allow you to throw off the last confinement and fulfill you, I don't want to be your bondage, and I don't know how much it hurts when the dagger stabs into my chest. I fell, only to slowly dissipate from the edge of the blade, I fell to the ground and convulsed, but I couldn't say a word, I was crying, all the qiē kept repeating in front of my eyes, I hurt, not because of the dagger in my chest, but despair.

It was the pain that woke me up from my dream, the two incense candles in the hall were burning faintly, Yuan Ying was not by my side, I touched my face, but it was full of tears.

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, when he heard the sound in the hall, he lowered his head and opened the door to come in, and stood aside and waited.

I put on a blanket and sat up. "Has Your Highness gone to the emperor?"

"Yes. The people in the Emperor's Palace came with news, and His Royal Highness left for the Emperor's Bedroom. Qing Chu didn't dare to raise his head, blindly lowered his head and looked at the ground to reply. His Royal Highness said that you have nightmares every day for the past two days, so let two incense candles be left in the palace. Sleep a little longer, it's still early in the morning. ”

Now that I'm awake, I really can't sleep.

I stood up by the side of the bed, "I'll go for a walk, you can go down and rest." ”

Qing Chu retreated.

I don't know if Yuan Qi is still locked up in the dungeon, but I just groped my way there by impression.

"How can you have the leisure to come and see me?" Yuan Qi didn't fall asleep either, and when he heard the movement, he turned over and sat up from the bed, and he came over and grabbed the fence. "In the middle of the night, Yuan Ying is not in the palace."

I could hear the malicious ridicule in his words, and I deliberately ignored it. "You've been locked up here for a long time, and only when he needs it, I let you out and replace him."

"What do you want to say?" Yuan Qi's face suddenly turned cold.

"In the future, will you live like this for 10, 20, 50 years? Live as his double? Locked up in this dark dungeon. "I've brushed over the cold fence, and while it's better than the other dungeons, it's still rudimentary.

"Yuan Ying believes in you, I don't believe it, you have no credibility to say with me, I won't make a deal with you." Yuan Qi refused.

"I'm not here to make a deal with you, I'm here to ask you for help."

"Oh? I'd like to hear about it, but I won't necessarily help you. ”

You'll definitely help me. I couldn't help but chuckle, "I'm going to rebuild the cottage and bring someone out." Only if you can help me do it, I will tell Yuan Ying to let you out, give you freedom to stay in the cottage. ”

"How can I be sure that after I do it for you, you will let me stay outside the palace." Yuan Qi seemed to understand what I meant, and he asked suspiciously.

"Will you stay outside the palace?" I asked him rhetorically. With his temperament, he will not succumb to the life of the mountains, and all he wants is an opportunity.

"I'm going to think about it." Yuan Qi turned around and lay back on the bed, and heard him say in a muffled voice for a long time, "You better hurry up, in the middle of the night, my sister-in-law and brother-in-law are in the same room, so as not to make someone jealous and affect me again." ”

I was a little stunned, smiled to myself, and reluctantly left.

As soon as I pushed open the door of the dungeon's dark room, I met Mrs. Guo who was waiting here, and he saw me coming out of the dungeon, his expression was cold, as if he had a strong sense of intimidation, "Why did you come out of here?" ”

"I have something to see Yuanqi." On the one hand, I was dissatisfied with his attitude as if he were interrogating a prisoner, and on the other hand, I had to bow my head, and his hostility towards me was too obvious. "Taifu entered the palace in the middle of the night, did he come to find His Highness for something, he was not there. The emperor seemed to be seriously ill again, and when I woke up, he had already received the news and left. ”

Taifu snorted coldly, "So, you took advantage of the absence of His Highness to have a private meeting with Yuanqi, what are you planning." ”

"What do we think we are planning?" I was amused and immediately asked.

"There is only one king in this world, and it can only be His Highness. Don't have any more bad ideas, don't rely on His Highness's favor for you to act recklessly, Fuyin, your ambition is too great. ”

In the middle of the night, the sudden reprimand was really unpleasant.

"Taifu protects His Highness like this, but I am worried that I will hurt him again, and your dream of recovering the country will be completely shattered. I am curious about one thing, if Yuan Ying is the king in the future, are you willing to support me as the queen? "I mean to provoke, in fact, it is very clear from his attitude, how can he tolerate this.

Mrs. Guo stiffened her face and did not answer.

This is the answer I guessed, but I didn't expect the truth to be confirmed at this moment, but I still feel desolate in my heart, it turns out that being together is not just a matter of two people, even if one day the power of the world is overpowered, what if one step is wrong, it will lose people's hearts, at that time, what should I do.

"It's boring."

"The eldest princess is sick. His Royal Highness can't get out of front of the emperor's sickbed, so he can only ask you to secretly go to the eldest princess's mansion. "The intention of Mrs. Guo's words was to let me go by myself, and I had to hide it from everyone to let people know that Yuan Ying had nothing to do with this matter.

I turned and walked towards the inner sanctum. Mrs. Guo followed impatiently, and when she saw me sitting down, she was displeased before she could speak. "Why don't you move yet?"

I raised my eyebrows to look at him, and at this time I was completely sleepy, but I was in high spirits.

"Let me guess first." I rolled up my sleeves and said slowly, "Your attitude towards me is getting worse and worse every time, when Yuan Ying was there, you regarded me as air, Yuan Ying was not there, but you didn't even want to cover it up, so anxious and white face yelled at me and instructed me to do things, what is the reason?" ”

The anger on Taifu's face was already obvious, and the green tendons between his foreheads were undoubtedly leaking.

"You think that Yuan Ying is just playing with me, I don't pose a big threat to your great cause of recovering the country, as long as the time comes, you can be sure to kick me out at any time. But the truth is not according to your expectation, you find out that Yuan Ying has true feelings for me, and the loss of me once has made him decadent for a long time, so that your plan has to be suspended and postponed. ”

I got up and stood in front of him, not giving him any chance to refute.

"You are loyal to assist Yuan Ying in restoring the country, but you are not loyal to him, you can't allow the emperor to have any flaws after Feng Yi returns to the country, so Yuan Qi has been excluded from the emperor's succession by your old ministers early on. I am the lord of Dongfu County, Fengyi died because of my Fu family, Dongfu was defeated because of my Zhaohua, my life experience is quite flawed, how can you allow the emperor who monopolizes the world to marry a woman like me. ”

"Or maybe you don't know where I came from." If this is the case, then his later change of attitude can be made clear, "You know the various entanglements between me and the imperial concubine, the Yuwen family intends to restore the country for the Yuan family, and the imperial concubine intends to monopolize the regime, in your plan, I am afraid that the restoration of the country will inevitably get rid of the imperial concubine, and at that time, I will be the only threat." Am I right? ”

Yuan Qi hated me because when he was in Xiyi, he thought that his only chance was to ruin me single-handedly. But he didn't know that I was also in the calculations of others, secretly pushed by others, and showed my face in the game designed by others, and the most direct person who manipulated this qiē behind the scenes was the Taifu who took me with him at that time, and he set up this bureau for nothing more than one purpose, that is, to create a gap between me and Yuan Qi, to ensure that the two biggest threats to Yuan Ying's future ascension to the throne as emperor contain each other.

I smiled suddenly, Yuan Ying. Only then did he raise his eyes and look at Taifu again, "Do you think that Yuan Ying doesn't know about this qiē you did?" I still think that he knows, but he will never stop you, and between you and me, no, between me and his throne he leans towards the latter and is bound to be silent. ”

Large beads of sweat appeared on Mrs. Guo's forehead, which was particularly abrupt in this inopportune season.

"You're wrong." I said word by word, "He knows everything, even if you come tonight and invite me out of the palace to visit the eldest princess, he knows what kind of tone you will use." He doesn't let you go free, but he knows that his future queen will be good enough to keep you clean. ”

He gave me the opportunity to personally give this person a dismissal, and I did not obey his wishes, and took this opportunity to convince this man who relied on the old and betrayed the old.

The four eyes are at each other.

After a while, Mrs. Guo couldn't hold his breath first, he dispersed the anger between his eyebrows, and gradually, he lowered his head slightly, "It's the old minister's mistake." ”

I also turned around, "I will naturally go to the Eldest Princess's Mansion, but there is one more thing, please help me deal with it." For many days, I have always had nightmares, dreaming of all kinds of goodbyes between me and Yuan Ying, I suspect that this matter is not simple, and I asked Taifu to help check in the palace to see if there are any strange people who have mixed into the Shao Palace. ”

Yin and yang alternate, the cycle of night and day, seeing that the sun is about to rise, Shaogong is shrouded in the beginning of dawn.

I straightened my clothes, lowered my head, and walked towards the palace gate.

"The imperial concubine has an order, it is a special period, and no one can be released without a token." As expected, Takasaki stopped me.

"Even I want to stop you?" I asked rhetorically, feigned surprise.

Takasaki was uncompromising, "Yes, but anyone who has anything to do with the eldest princess and others can't be released." Offended. ”

"But I not only have something to do with the eldest princess, do you know that Emperor Nancheng is in the palace at the moment, and I am going to visit him, so you have to stop it?" Takasaki knew who I was, and he would have understood my hint at this time.

But he was unmoved, and kept me at the palace gate.

"Master Gao, what do you mean by this?" I had to smile and compliment.

"With such lame acting skills, and flawed excuses, I just don't understand, what the hell are you doing." Takasaki blocked my way, his eyes like torches.

"I didn't lie to you." Outside the Shao Palace, the sound of a carriage was approaching, and I raised my chin and motioned him to look, "I have an appointment with Emperor Nancheng, see you today, he is the person who the imperial concubine is trying to win over, if you don't feel troublesome, you can send someone to ask the imperial concubine if she wants to let me out, and I will wait here with him." ”

Huangfu Xuan's carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, he sat upright in the carriage, and when he heard the movement, he opened the curtain and peeked out without hurrying, and Gao Qi and others hurriedly bowed down to salute.

"What?" He asked.

"It was a little troublesome just now, but," I said, looking sideways at Takasaki, making sure he wouldn't stop me again, "it's okay now, let's go." ”

I walked towards his carriage, but when I walked to the carriage I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and I looked back at the people at the city gate, and Takasaki was already standing on one side and watching quietly.

"Come on." Huangfu Xuan leaned out of the carriage and stretched out his hand to me.

I borrowed his strength and stepped into the carriage, and the coachman turned his head around and did not enter the palace, we left directly from the gate of Shaogong, and it was not until I walked for a while that I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why did that person look at you like that?" Huangfu Xuan opened his mouth to break the peace.

I recalled, "You mean, Takasaki?" He is the imperial concubine's person, stop me, because the imperial concubine doesn't want the people in the palace to have dealings with the eldest princess. ”

Huangfu Xuan shook his head, "Forget it." ”

"Why don't you ask, where am I going?" I'm not interested in pursuing it either.

"If you take the risk of leaving the palace, you must meet the person they won't let you see, it's the eldest princess." Huang Fu Xuan's words made me a little surprised by this tacit understanding, "It's just that you have taken a bit of a risk this step." You are accurate, the news that Emperor Beishao is seriously ill has reached me, and I will enter the Shao Palace to visit as soon as it is dawn, so I deliberately waited there, let's play like this, even if they know it, they can't stop it. ”

I had time to look at him, "Emperor Beishao won't be able to die for a while, if you come with the idea of the North-South Alliance, then the person who accompanies me to see next can really help you." ”

After being silent for a long time, Huangfu Xuan suddenly asked, "Is it okay?" ”

I was a little confused by his question, but I had some delusions in a trance, so I had to pretend to be stupid, "What doesn't matter?" What are you talking about? ”

"Won't you work too hard, sandwiched between the imperial concubine and Yu Wenzheng." That's exactly what he asked.

The pretended smile couldn't be maintained on his face, the corners of his mouth were a little throbbing, and I couldn't help but put away the smile, I looked at him helplessly, "It doesn't matter at all, it's fake." But I can't show it, and he knows that I'm working hard, but I always have to pretend to show him, or we'll all be embarrassed. ”

"I will not persuade you to leave him, but I want to remind you that in the place of the highest power, it is impossible to have both, there must always be a trade-off, not for the past, but for the future." Huangfu Xuan was graceful and said with a humble gentleman, "Even if it is for Nancheng, I will not offend Yu Wenzheng." ”

I fell to the ground with a stone hanging in my heart, and pouted, "I already knew." ”

The eldest princess's illness came too suddenly, she had been under house arrest in the eldest princess's mansion for some days, although I had heard that she had been in poor health, but I didn't expect it to fall so suddenly.

"After that incident, the eldest princess has been drowsy, in the past, when the horse was there, the horse was carefully taken care of, but now that the horse has an accident, the imperial doctors in the palace are also avoiding us, the eldest princess has been asleep for a long time, and the servants are worried that people will ask His Royal Highness the Prince for help." The maid beside the eldest princess led us to the house, while narrating with a crying voice, pushed open the door, called back to the left and right, she leaned into the eldest princess's ear and said, "Ye Gongzi is here, if you have anything to say, wake up." ”

"There's no hurry." I hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and the eldest princess was pale, her lips were blue, and she lay motionless on the bed with her eyes closed. I can only ask the little maid who brought us, "How many days has the eldest princess been in a coma?" ”

"Three days."

"What happened before I fell unconscious?" I also thought about the past three days in the palace, but it didn't seem to give her much stimulation.

The little maid stopped crying and thought carefully, "By the way, the eldest princess received a letter. ”

"Who sent it to her?" I asked hurriedly.

"It seems to have been sent from the Cangyi Temple, and as for what it said, the slave doesn't know." She pursed her lips and looked like she was about to cry again.

I waved her down, I couldn't stand her like that.

Getting up, I rummaged under the eldest princess's pillow.

"After all, she is the eldest princess of Beishao, it's not good for you to be like this, it's better to let her subordinates come to find her." Huang Fuxuan was obviously frightened by my actions, and he looked out the door, worried about the charges that would come true.

"This is a tacit understanding between me and her." I said, but I didn't stop the movements of my hand, I looked at her in the sleep firmly, and said confidently, "She must have known that I would come, she knew my identity early in the morning, but she still took me to the Cangyi Temple, she knows, I can help her." If it was a subordinate, I would not dare to rummage through the letters by her side, and if she wanted to leave me any clues, she would definitely hide them by my side. ”

Sure enough, before the words could be spoken, I found the letter that had been in a mess under her.
