As soon as Zhou Xiao left, Xiao Tao immediately put the package down, took out a large stack of silver tickets from his arms, and said, "Miss, Miss is helpless in this palace, Xiao Tao can only bring you some more silver." ”

An Qingchen looked at the large number of silver tickets in Xiao Tao's hand, and was grateful, Xiao Tao, this maid, was really her lucky star, and she was thinking about how to get some money from outside the palace.

Qingchen took the silver ticket, put it away, and said, "Xiao Tao, if I am not there in the future, Mingjing Pavilion, Tianyinfang, you have to worry more, and the account books of Mofu can be given to the old housekeeper later." Also, old lady, you take care of it. My father and mother only have one daughter, and I have neither brothers nor sisters, and I have always been your own sister, and in the future, you will help me do my filial piety......"

When Xiao Tao heard Qingchen say this, tears flowed down unconsciously: "Miss, you are just staying in the palace temporarily, will you stay for a lifetime!" Miss, don't say frustrating words, Xiao Tao will definitely handle Yiqiē properly and wait for Miss to come back. ”

With Xiao Tao's words, Qingchen felt that she could go at ease.

Xiao Tao told Qingchen about the recent situation of Mingjing Pavilion and Tianyin Fang, and also told a lot of interesting anecdotes, Qingchen listened to it with relish, the outside world is so wonderful, if you stay in this dark palace for the rest of your life, how much fun is lost in life, and An Qingchen's heart to leave the palace is more keen.

In a blink of an eye, Qingchen has lived in the palace for seven days, getting closer and closer to Zhou Yun's wedding, and getting closer and closer to the day of the draft. Zhou Xiao would come to Xingyueju from time to time to see her and Xu'er, but since the incense burner incident that day, there has been no deviance. And under the soft grinding and hard bubble of dust, her range of activities has increased a lot, and Zhou Xiao allowed her to go to the library for two hours a day accompanied by the Praetorian Guards.

On the eighth day of February in the second year of Xianning, the auspicious day of the zodiac, the wedding of Zhou Yun, the king of Rui of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is scheduled for today. Zhou Xiao came to Xingyueju early and had breakfast with An Qingchen, for some reason, he always felt that Xingyueju's porridge and side dishes were particularly appetizing, and they tasted the same as the Tianshan Snow Lotus porridge he ate in the General's Mansion back then.

"Your Xingyueju cook's skills are good, you can stew a bowl of porridge to bring out this taste."

Qingchen just said softly, this porridge was boiled by herself, and the cook couldn't make such a light taste, so it was more difficult for him not to put anything than to kill him.

"I've already asked people to prepare clothes, and we'll go to King Rui's Mansion together after eating."

"I'm not going."

Zhou Xiao frowned, could it be that he didn't want to see his third emperor brother marry her, for fear of touching the scene?

As soon as Qingchen saw his face, he knew that he wanted to be crooked again: "My current identity is unlucky." A few days earlier, I had already delivered a congratulatory gift to his house. Don't think about it anymore, Ruiwang and I are just like-minded friends. ”

Zhou Xiao put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "It's okay not to go, wait for me to come back in the palace, and bring you some good wine then." ”

Qingchen smiled and nodded, in the past few days, Zhou Xiao seems to have changed a person, the smile that appears from time to time melts the frost on his face, and he is even more obedient to her, and he is spoiled to the sky, which makes An Qingchen more and more guilty, her escape plan is set for tonight, and she is in turmoil.

Zhou Xiao got up after eating and said, "Then I will leave first, I'm afraid the imperial brother will be blamed if I go late." ”

"Okay, don't forget to drink my share of the wine."

Zhou Xiao walked up to Qingchen and said softly: "When the imperial brother finishes getting married, it will be our turn, Chen'er, do you know, I am so anxious." ”

It's just that she is leaving the palace tonight, maybe she will never come back after wandering the world, Qingchen stood on tiptoe and kissed Zhou Xiao's cheek lightly, like a dragonfly dotting water, willow silk brushing her face, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, just take it as a parting gift.

Zhou Xiao was stunned at first, but then ecstatic, he pressed Qingchen against the wall, and blocked Qingchen's delicate red with his thin lips. Lip.

Listening to Zhou Xiao's heavier and heavier breathing, Qingchen almost hated herself, she was really cocooned and self-bound, why did she kiss him without dying, isn't this asking for her own death?

Qingchen closed his lips tightly and pushed Zhou Xiao out hard, but his strength was too small, so he had to desperately make a "woo" protest sound.

Zhou Xiao felt Qingchen's resistance, slowly stopped, and said in a dumb voice: "Chen'er, I bear it. No. Stayed! ”

Qingchen took this opportunity to get out of his arms and said, "No! You're going to officiate at King Rui's wedding, we're ...... It's a long time coming. Qingchen still pretended to be smiling and said things against his will.

"You little woman, why are you so tormented!" Zhou Xiao had no choice but to leave, but his heart was very sweet, they did come a long way, he would spend a lifetime to spoil her, and he would definitely make her the most favored queen in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Qingchen looked at his departing back, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, is it really good for her to lie to him like this? Is it really okay to hurt others for the sake of your own freedom?

However, the arrow is ready to be sent. Qingchen took out the map she had drawn a few days ago, looked at it again, kept the route in mind, and then burned it, her destination was a small border country called Nanzhao.

At night, the palace is brightly lit and crowded, and almost half of Kyoto is invited to attend the wedding. Kyoto's officials of all sizes have been invited, and it is a rare opportunity to meet the new emperor who has just ascended the throne today.

As soon as the time arrived, the wedding ceremony officially began, and just when everyone was elated, there was a roar of fire in the direction of the palace.

Zhou Xiao was holding the wedding wine of the newcomer in his hand, and when he looked at the direction of the fire, his heart tightened, it was his Huayang Palace, no, it was Xingyue Residence.

Today, Xu'er followed him to the Ruiwang Mansion, at this time, only An Qingchen was in the center of the stars and moons, Zhou Xiao threw the wine glass in his hand, and said loudly: "Little Anzi, go back to the palace with me!" Before he finished speaking, the man had vanished.

As soon as Zhou Xiao arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw a team of Praetorian Guards coming in a hurry, he grabbed one of them and asked, "Where is the fire?" ”

The captured young Praetorian Guard was obviously quite nervous, and stammered: "Return, go back to the emperor, it's Xingyue Residence, we are about to rush to put out the fire!" ”

This Praetorian Guard made Zhou Xiao feel familiar, but before he could think about it, a team of men and horses had already rushed to put out the fire.

Zhou Xiao didn't stop, and immediately went towards Xingyueju, I don't know if his dust is good, with her martial arts, self-protection should not be a problem.

It's just that when he arrived at the gate of Xingyue Ju, he was not so convinced, the fire in the center of Xingyue was extremely fierce, not to mention people, I am afraid that even flies could not fly out, and the blazing fire reflected the night sky of Kyoto.

Zhou Xiao's first thought was: The dust is still inside. He pulled his leg and was about to rush in, but fortunately, Xiao Anzi's eyes were quick, and he grabbed him and said, "Your Majesty, Miss An must have escaped, her martial arts are not weak, and she will be fine." ”

When Zhou Xiao heard this, he gradually calmed down, and shouted to the Praetorian Guards who were fighting the fire: "Put out the fire in Xingyueju, I will be rewarded!" ”

At this time, An Qingchen had already left the palace gate, she glanced back at the burning Xingyue Residence, jumped on horseback, and whipped south......

The horse was prepared for her by the Empress Dowager Liu, and the fire was also set by the Empress Dowager Liu for her, and it was still difficult to put such a big fire with her own strength. She knocked out a Praetorian Guard, changed into the clothes of the Praetorian Guard, and took advantage of the fire to get out of the Xingyue Residence. Originally, it was very smooth, but I never thought that Zhou Xiao came so quickly, and actually took a look at her at the gate of the palace, she thought that she would be discovered by him, but fortunately, it was dark, and Zhou Xiao was absent-minded, but An Qingchen still sweated for herself. She took a long sigh of relief, touched the token given to her by the Empress Dowager Liu in her arms and the stack of silver tickets sent by Xiao Tao, waved her horsewhip, and left Beijing decisively.

At this time, a poem came to her mind: Money is precious, love is more valuable, if it is for freedom, both can be thrown!

Freely! I'm coming!

Palace.

Under the full force of the palace guards, the fire in Xingyueju was gradually controlled, and Zhou Xiao had already rushed into Xingyueju one step ahead, and everywhere he passed, it was a mess. When he came to the Star Picking Tower, his heart trembled a little, he sent people to search the entire palace, but there was no news of An Qingchen, could it be ......

He stretched out his trembling hand and pushed open the door of the Star Picking Tower, which shattered into a pile of ash with a "bang". Zhou Xiao was about to step in, but Xiao Anzi took a step ahead of him and said, "Your Majesty, let the minions go in first." ”

Zhou Xiao ignored it, but still stepped into the Star Picking Building in person. Everything in the house was burned miserably by everyone, Xiao Anzi suddenly kicked something, only to hear the sound of "bang", looked down and saw that it was the gold incense burner, he personally sent it back that day, I don't want to, only it has not been burned today.

Zhou Xiao came to An Qingchen's bed, feeling that he had difficulty breathing, he faintly saw a human figure, but it was already unrecognizable, and looking at the figure, it was similar to his dust......

Zhou Xiao stepped forward, and a "dust" screamed painfully.

She just whispered in his ear, we have come a long way, she just kissed his cheek tenderly, how in an instant, she was separated from him by heaven and man!

This can't be, this is absolutely impossible! Zhou Xiao stretched out his hand and wanted to touch her body, but before he could touch it, the body shattered with the wind, leaving nothing behind.

Zhou Xiao's hand paused there, her dust, did she really just leave, walked so thoroughly, she didn't even leave a corpse for him.

Xiao Anzi saw the appearance of his master, and cried: "Your Majesty, you have to take care of the dragon body!" Maybe it's not Miss An's corpse......"

"She is the only one in this star picking building, except for Qingchen, who else will lie on her show bed?" Zhou Xiao felt that the whole person had been hollowed out, who was it, who killed his dust. It turned out that she was right, this palace was really not a place for people, and he had only been away for a while, and some people tried their best to harm him.

No, this qiē is all his fault! He shouldn't have forcibly left her in the palace for his own selfish desires, she didn't like the palace in the first place.

Zhou Xiao stood in a daze in the star-picking tower that was burned to ashes, full of regret. A gust of wind blew, and the already crumbling beams suddenly crackled and fell, Xiao Anzi pulled Zhou Xiao away, and said: "The emperor is careful, this place is not suitable for a long time, the emperor, let's go back to Huayang Hall first." ”

Zhou Xiao held the gold incense burner and walked slowly along the path of Moon Lake. Once, she yawned on this path and told him that she was sleepy and wanted to sleep; It was also on this trail that she hugged Xu'er with a happy face. How is it possible that in the blink of an eye, a living person becomes a corpse?

Zhou Xiao walked slower and slower, and his steps became lighter and lighter, and his thinking began to become clearer and clearer: on the first day she came to the Star Picking Tower, his mother had come; On the second day, Xiao Tao also came; On the fourth day, under her soft grinding and hard bubbles, he allowed her to go to the library; Today's King Rui's wedding, the fire is just today; She didn't like the palace in the first place...... And his queen mother doesn't want her to become the queen, if someone helps, it's easy to get a fake corpse!

Also, the Praetorian Guard I just met at the gate of the palace...... No wonder he felt so familiar!

Damn An Qingchen, he actually dared to lie to him!

"Xiao Anzi, send 5,000 Praetorian Guards, with the portrait of Chen'er, to search for Zhen'an door to door! Also, send an order to close the gates of the city at once, and not even a single fly is released! ”
