172. [172] The Accident of the Closing Ceremony

In a flash, it was the middle of May.

Yintong still has no news, Ziyi once sent someone to the back mountain of Shaolin Temple to investigate, but he couldn't find the slightest clue.

was so sullen until the post-closure ceremony.

was not a pleasant mood, but after seeing the busy palace people, it became even more depressed.

simply didn't go out, Ziyi locked himself in the Ziyao Palace.

After all, it is about to be sealed, and Duanmu Xun is also busy, and he has not been to this Ziyao Hall for several days.

It's boring to be idle, Ziyi simply looked for Bi'er and learned to be a female celebrity.

This embroidery piece, it looks beautiful, if it is really done with a needle and a thread, it is really rare.

The only advantage is that once you concentrate on it, time flies quickly. At the very least, it can make Ziyi miss Duanmu Kaoru and have less time to be unhappy.

After a few days, Ziyi was already able to embroider some simple patterns.

In Bi'er's words, she is "Hui Zhilanxin" and "brilliant", and she learns much faster than ordinary people.

Ziyi didn't know if she really learned quickly, but because she poured all her thoughts into that stitch and thread, she was also very serious when she did it, and naturally she learned quickly.

Ziyi's sullenness was seen by the subordinates of Zi Yao's palace, and they felt distressed in their hearts.

Although his own master is arrogant and domineering in the eyes of outsiders, he is very generous to them.

Anyone who hears of a minor disaster or illness, or a family with difficulties, as long as he can contribute, Ziyi is never ambiguous.

The silver pupil is not there, and the house in the capital "Charm and Spirit" also seems empty, and some people have asked to see it in the past few months, but they have all been rejected by Ziyi. After tossing these days, she was a little tired, and even began to question whether her idea was too simple.

Now, my friends are gone, and everyone is tired of living and dying with them, but in the end, there is not even the slightest benefit.

But while it was true that they did something wrong-

But the silver pupil seems to have been born for too long.

As soon as he slipped away, the sharp needle tip pierced the finger, and in a short time, a red drop of blood condensed from the fingertip.

Ziyi looked at his fingertips in a daze, and for a long time, he looked at the patterns he had embroidered.

This time, she embroidered a square handkerchief.

It's just that in the corner of the square handkerchief, with lilac thread, the word "clothes" is embroidered.

Now, the word has taken shape, and it is only a few stitches away from the work.

Ziyi wanted to run to the Heart Cultivation Hall and show this first independently completed work to Duanmu Xun.

But thinking about it again, Duanmu Kaoru must be very busy now, and she will definitely not be able to get into the eyes of the emperor with such a simple handkerchief, and she will be ridiculed if she is not good.

Pouting, Ziyi embroidered the last few stitches, then broke the thread, threw the square handkerchief to the corner of the bed, and the whole person lay on the bed in a "big" shape [harmony], looking at the roof of the shed in a daze.

"Mother." Bi'er's voice sounded outside the door, but Ziyi didn't want to speak. I couldn't hear the following, so I simply didn't speak, just closed my eyes, and carefully traced the outline of Duanmu Kaoru in my mind.

It's really not a good place in this palace.

She wants to meet her sweetheart, and she also has all kinds of etiquette and etiquette, all kinds of requests, being watched and stared at by all kinds of people, and being bound by all kinds of rules.

Although she has always been inattentive to these things, she also does not want to embarrass her loved ones because of her.

After all, those women in the harem refuse to rest, and the ministers in the court will also make trouble.

"What's wrong? Not feeling well? A low male voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Ziyi opened his eyes suddenly, and Duanmu Kaoru looked at him with his head slightly lowered.

Jet-black hair hung down to her ears, tickling.

"Why are you here?" A flash of joy flashed in Ziyi's eyes.

It's only been a few days, Duanmu Kaoru seems to have lost a lot of weight, his cheeks have lost weight, and it's very abrasive to think about this post-ceremony. A touch of distress flashed in his eyes, and the little hand in purple gently stroked Duanmu Xun's face, and said softly: "I'm not uncomfortable, but you, why do you seem to have an illness." ”

"It's fine." Duanmu Kaoru held the little hand of the purple clothes, his voice was a little hoarse, with a smile on his face, but he looked very tired: "According to the news brought back by Beichen, I ordered someone to go to the desert to investigate, and learned that this barbarian tried in vain to take advantage of this post-sealing ceremony, and we were alienated from the time when we were on guard to provoke war." There are already a lot of barbarians in Beijing, so I have to be more prepared. ”

"I'm sorry." Ziyi's gaze dimmed, and the small hand held by Duanmu Kaoru tightened slightly: "If I hadn't been pulling you to run around, you wouldn't have neglected to take precautions, and now you're so tired." ”

"What a stupid thing to say." Duanmu Xun smiled and gently scratched the little nose of the purple cloth: "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid there would be no me at this time." What about Sisi? Didn't haunt you today? ”

At the mention of Sisi, Ziyi's gaze was a little darker.

Since taking this Sisi to Ziyao Palace, she, the nominal "mother", seems to have forgotten about this little girl at all. I just want to go out and have fun.

When she came back this time, the nurse reported Sisi, and when Sisi saw Ziyi, she cried out with a "wow", hugged Ziyi's neck tightly, and refused to let go of anything, so she pestered Ziyi for two days and two nights.

Later, when the nurse took Sisi away, Ziyi would never forget the look in Sisi's eyes, that kind of look, as if they were going to say goodbye forever.

From then to now, every morning when the nurse brought Sisi, the little girl's eyes were timid, as if she didn't know her.

Thinking of this, Ziyi sighed faintly again.

"It's just how old, just sigh." Duanmu Kaoru pulled Ziyi up from the bed [Harmony] in distress, hugged him in his arms, and said softly: "No matter what happens, I am by your side." ”

"Yes." Ziyi hooked the corners of his lips and answered softly.

It was only a few days, but she felt as if she hadn't snuggled in this embrace for a long time.

This familiar warmth, this familiar medicinal fragrance, made her close her eyes lightly, reluctant to open them.

The flowers in the yard have bloomed, and the flowers are tender and yellow, with a light fragrance.

There are still three days left before the post-closure ceremony.

On this day, Duanmu Kaoru only stayed for half an hour before he left.

The only son in purple was sitting alone in this Ziyao Palace, and the things that were once familiar suddenly became unfamiliar.

"Niangniang, Concubine Xue is here."

Hearing Cui'er's communication, Ziyi immediately got up and went out.

Seeing Xue Xue, somehow, Ziyi suddenly wanted to cry a little.

Xue Xue has also lost weight, but her eyes are more energetic than before, and she has a sense of luxury in her gestures.

After retiring everyone, Ziyi took Xue Xue's hand and sat at the table.

"Cher." Ziyi spoke softly, but she didn't know what else to say.

I always feel that in just a few months, everything around me, everyone, seems to have changed.

A qiē is spoiled.

It doesn't seem to taste like it used to be.

Ziyi didn't know whether her original mention was right or wrong, and she didn't know whether she should be happy or sad when she saw Xue Xue now.

"Purple." Xue Xue's gaze softened, and this soft gaze made Ziyi feel in a trance for a moment, as if he had returned to the time he had been. "Ziyi, I'm sure, you know it all."

Lowering her eyelids, Xue Xue's voice was faint, but it was full of sadness.

"I understand."

"On that day, the emperor announced that I would go to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and he only asked me one word." Xue Xue gently held Ziyi's hand, looked at Ziyi fixedly, and said, "He asked me, 'Will you hurt Ziyi?'" ”

Ziyi's body shook slightly, and he suddenly raised his head to meet Xue Xue's eyes.

Those eyes, still clear, although they were a little heavy, did not hide anything from her.

"He really loves you and cares about you." There was a hint of envy in Xue Xue's words, "I really hope that I can meet a man who treats me like this." ”

"Cher-if you don't want to, we'll ask for a decree!" Ziyi suddenly grabbed Xue Xue's hand, and she had never blamed herself so much in her heart as she did at this moment!

The queen's position is a fire pit!

She didn't want to jump herself, but she actually pushed this fire pit to her friend.

"Fool." Xue Xue gently grabbed Ziyi's hand and made her sit down again: "This qiē is my own choice, after entering this palace gate, there is no possibility of going out." If you leave the palace, there are only two ways out. Either die, or shave your degree, and go to be a nun. Rather than this, I might as well be in this palace, at least there is still life, at least there will be flowers. ”

"But you-"

"Ziyi, the emperor's love has been completely given to you alone. I envy, but not envy. The emperor's love is only worthy of you. In this harem, if you don't get the emperor's love, then you have to have power, no love, no power, and in the end, you may die like my poor sister. What about revenge? After all, there is no way to get a life back. ”

Ziyi looked at Xue Xue's eyes and opened her mouth, but she couldn't spit out a word.

She doesn't know how to describe Xue Xue now, should she be fortunate or sorry?

"Ziyi, I came today, I have something to ask you for." Seeing that Ziyi didn't speak, Xue Xue's words suddenly changed.

"What's the matter?"

"The emperor's love for you, I naturally understand, and I also understand what I will face in the future. In this life, I may end up alone, and I hope you can let me raise Sisi. ”

Ziyi hesitated.

Sisi is not an ordinary child, and raising her here is completely to better pay attention to Sisi's every move.

But now it seems that she is not a qualified mother, so that Sisi is deeply lonely in this deep palace alone.

Sisi and Xue Xue have a good relationship-

Considering Xue Xue's current situation-

"Xue'er, Sisi is different from ordinary children, this matter, I think, I have to discuss it with the emperor." Gritting his teeth, Ziyi didn't agree in person, but he didn't refuse.

She wasn't sure if she would leave the palace in the future, Sisi was here, and she really didn't get more care from Xue Xue.

If Yintong was here at this time, she would definitely be able to beg him to make a bracelet, and then she could keep track of Sisi's dynamics at any time.

Thinking of the silver pupil, Ziyi's heart was another wall.

"I understand, Ziyi, whether you agree or not, I won't blame you." Xue Xue's eyes were a little dim, but she still had a well-fitting smile on her face. The two of them talked for a while, and Xue Xue left abruptly.

didn't have dinner, Ziyi went straight to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Whether she wants to tell Duanmu Kaoru about this matter eagerly, or does she want to use this matter to go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to see Duanmu Xun, in short, after saying goodbye to Xue Xue, Ziyi arrived outside the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Xiao Dezi stood outside the door, saw the purple clothes, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, and immediately stepped forward, saluted respectfully, and said: "Xiao Dezi has seen the concubine Niangniang, Niangniang, the emperor is discussing with the courtiers, if there is anything, tell the slaves." ”

Ziyi frowned, pursed his lips slightly, he was still discussing with the courtiers at this time, I am afraid that it is also for the sake of the barbarian and the post-sealing ceremony.

After hesitating for a moment, Ziyi said softly: "I don't know when it will end?" ”

The more she couldn't see it, the more she wanted to see it.

This feeling, Ziyi himself felt a little ridiculous.

Like a grumpy child.

"This-the minions don't know." Xiao Dezi's eyes flickered, and the hesitation between words was caught in Ziyi's eyes.

There was a strange look in his heart, and the purple clothes turned around lightly: "Since the emperor has something, it is inconvenient for the palace to disturb." Cui'er, Bi'er, let's go back. ”

Inside the Ziyao Palace.

Ziyi looked at the bed in a daze.

She didn't know if she should go down and go through the secret passage to eavesdrop.

Judging from Kodeko's demeanor, it seems that Duanmu Kaoru doesn't want her to know.

But Duanmu Kaoru has never hidden anything from her!

What exactly is it?

My heart was like numbness, and it seemed that there were two villains fighting in my mind.

The little angel said gently, "Go and see, you just care about him." ”

The little devil held a weapon and roared domineeringly: "Go and see!" If he does something sorry for you, he will be dismantled immediately! ”

Gritting her teeth, Ziyi finally closed the door of the room, and after ordering Bi'er and Cui'er to stay at the door, no matter what happened, she couldn't disturb her, then opened the bed and walked into the secret passage.

Walked to the secret entrance of the Heart Cultivation Palace, faintly, Ziyi heard Duanmu Xun's voice, but the distance was too far, and she couldn't really hear it.

At this moment, Ziyi remembered the silver pupil again.

His ability to eavesdrop on people's conversations, she was very disdainful at first!

Now I just regret not learning like him!

Purple Yi followed the example of silver pupils, concentrated energy on his fingertips, and a purple light rushed towards the wooden plank above his head.

But instead of penetrating the plank as expected, he poked a hole in the plank.
