The rain has a tendency to fall again, Ruyue is dressed in plain clothes, her hair is like a waterfall pouring down from her shoulders, two white flowers are simply pinned to the bun, the vermilion gate has been hung with white lanterns, the street is not as lively as before, occasionally there are people with oil umbrellas hurrying by, and the raindrops fall on the bluestone slab and make a crisp sound.

"Princess, it's better to go another day, the second princess won't blame the princess." Donghua looked at the rain left in the shape of a water column from the eaves, and couldn't help but say worriedly.

"God is also crying for my second sister, let's go with this hour." Ruyue stretched out her hand, and raindrops fell on the palm of my hand.

Donghua didn't speak again, took two umbrellas from the maid's hands, handed one to Ruyue, and hung a bamboo basket on her arm. There was paper money inside.

Walking through the bluestone slabs, along a winding mountain road, holding an oil-paper umbrella, two hours later, we arrived at the top of the mountain.

Look down. The mountain peaks are all in a cloud of smoke, and there is a faint look like a mountain villa.

"Horizontally, it is a peak on the side of the ridge, and the height is different from far and near." Ruyue kicked the oil-paper umbrella to Donghua, squatted on the ground, and unconsciously read these two lines of poetry. Winter Flower hurriedly stepped forward to cover the rain for Ruyue.

Ruyue took the bamboo basket from Donghua's hand, picked up the paper money, and threw it away, and the paper money flew all over the sky.

"Presumably, Ruxing doesn't have to be lonely, with the company of the second sister." Ruyue smiled bitterly, "Why do you think he wants to be like this?" ”

The sound of rain around her was getting louder and louder, and Ruyue could barely hear the sound of winter flowers.

Ruyue couldn't help but ask; "But I'm really curious, why didn't he even let go of his own mother? His queen mother did not hesitate to frame the first prince for him, why did he do this? ”

The wind on the top of the mountain was very strong, but Ruyue obviously felt the winter flowers tremble: "Maybe the Queen Mother is really sick-"

"Outburst?" She looked up at the sky, and it was gray. "There are three imperial doctors waiting in her dormitory day and night, I don't know how much Lang spent on bird's nest ginseng for a year, and even grinded pearls into powder as afternoon tea to drink, before I left the palace, she also walked in the imperial garden every day to feed the fish - even if she was sick, those officials who were waiting for the Queen Mother were waiting for this day, how could the news not come out--but why was there no movement at all-"

Ruyue's words have come to this point, but Donghua still doesn't understand: "Could it be that the Queen Mother is not allowed by her old man?" ”

"How not?" A familiar voice sounded, and Ruyue didn't know when there was another person beside her, her eyebrows were picturesque, as if she was coming in the breeze, "In terms of the character of the Empress Dowager Dugu, as long as she doesn't send someone to spread the news, it's good - so the only possibility is - the Son of Heaven is not allowed - violent illness - tsk, maybe the Son of Heaven is annoyed by the old mother's nagging, let him ascend to heaven!" ”

"The second son's speech is getting more and more out of character!" Donghua still didn't give him a good look.

"The girl doesn't like it, I'm afraid it's a lot of etiquette, and it's a presumptuous person in the eyes of the girl." He teased, still smiling.

"You-" Winter Flower froze, opening her mouth to retort.

"Alright." Ruyue interrupted her, "In front of the second son, he is the master, you are the servant, don't be presumptuous, let him see my jokes, you pack up your things and wait for me at the foot of the mountain." ”

"Yes, slave and maid obey." Donghua was full of grievances, saluted, handed Ruyue the umbrella in her hand, packed up the paper money in the basket, and went down the mountain with her skirt.

"Why do you only suspect that he killed the Queen Mother?" He didn't shy away from it, and asked questions directly. As soon as he walked to the entrance of the palace, he saw Ruyue going out in plain clothes, he didn't know what she was doing, so he had to follow her.

"It turns out that the Son of Heaven doesn't even have a title in the eyes of the second son." Ruyue sighed, not mentioning yesterday's events at all, nor did she have any displeasure, "It's okay to tell you, if you want to kill, you have a chance, you don't have to wait until now, besides, my second sister lost her husband and became depressed, I have already heard of it." ”

He didn't take Ruyue's words again, just took the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, threw it down the mountain casually, walked over, held Ruyue's hand holding the umbrella, and held an umbrella with her. His breathing was very close to Ruyue, and Ruyue struggled subconsciously, but was stopped by his words: "I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future, anyway, in the eyes of the princess, I'm already a presumptuous, so I don't care about being presumptuous this time." ”

The storm was still raging, the north wind was howling, and the mountains in the distance were silent and filled with smoke.

Ruyue's heart was quiet in that one. Raising his head to meet his eyes, he found for the first time that his eyes were so deep, but Ruyue could not see through his thoughts.

"I know it." From the uninterrupted sadness between her eyebrows, from the moment she stopped talking to her, from the beginning of her forbearance yesterday, he knew that his favorite girl was afraid that he would not be able to keep it, Li Shimin continued, "You have to go." ”

Ruyue didn't speak again, time seemed to stand still at this moment, the sound of raindrops, the sound of the wind, everything didn't exist, and at this moment, what they didn't know was that they came out to stand at the end of the mountain outside the winter flowers, and there was a handsome figure in the distance, the person was dressed in white and elegant, the figure was hidden in the woods, and there was always a touch of sorrow on his brows, and he looked at these two people quietly.

Yuwen Chengdu entered the palace to say goodbye to Yang Advertising, and in the face of his beloved girl, he stood outside the door for a long time and didn't know how to speak, seeing the people in the palace coming in and out, but only he couldn't hear Xuan'er's silver bell-like laughter, he was vaguely disappointed, turned around and was about to leave the palace, turned around, the first thing that caught his eye was a ball of bright chrysanthemums, followed by Xuan'er's big smiling face, she was wearing a cyan dress, a string of bell bracelets on her wrist, she forcibly stuffed the chrysanthemum in Yuwen Chengdu's arms: "Why don't you go in?" Could it be that Adu doesn't want to see Xuan'er? ”

"What is the princess's bedroom, how is it inappropriate for a man?" Yuwen Chengdu hesitated to answer.

Xuan'er believed it, and took out a chrysanthemum from her arms and gestured it to her bun: "Is it good-looking?" ”

"Princesses are all good-looking." He replied.

"Why did Adu remember to come to see Xuan'er?" She took his arm, her height was just shoulder to shoulder, and she looked like a little girl.

"The minister-the minister received the holy decree and was going to pick up Princess Lanting back-" Yuwen Chengdu just remembered the formality, paused slightly, and a touch of blush stained his cheeks, "So come and say goodbye to the princess-"

"Sister Yue is coming back!" Xuan'er was simply happy, pulling Yuwen Chengdu's sleeve and turning in circles, "Take good care of my sister Yue, and by the way, tell her that Xuan'er misses her very much, um!" I really want to think about it! ”

Bidding farewell to Xuan'er Yuwen Chengdu and returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he saw the officials walk out of the door of his father's study more than once, either gloomy or happy, and saw that he was always hypocritical, Xuan'er - he remembered the girl's bright face, and finally closed his eyes a little tiredly.
