The night before the national teacher set out for the expedition, His Royal Highness stayed in the Qingxu Hall for a long time, and the two of them played chess together, read books, and discussed major events in the world...... It wasn't until the sky was about to dawn that His Royal Highness was invited back by the palace people in the East Palace, saying that the army was about to go out, and His Royal Highness, as the head of the East Palace of Cangyun Kingdom, must set an example for the future prince in the worship ceremony.

I still remember that day, the weather was very good, under the sun, he was dressed in white, with a soft smile on his face, and in every move, he carried the elegance of the prince of a country.

Those clear and bright eyes, but they are no longer like before, when they occasionally think of her, they turn around and ask her with a smile, Qiang Hong, what do you think of Xiaoya?

Because, His Highness's eyes had already let go of another person, who was dressed in bright red, and his blood-colored robe dragged all over the steps.

With a red beaded scimitar around her waist and an ancient sapphire cane in her hand, she walked up little by little, with a cold expression, and her back was as slender as bamboo......

On the stage, the shrine maidens were dressed in different clothes, and several people surrounded the city, barefoot, dancing dances that I had never seen before, and Changshui stood beside me and told me that it was the prayer ceremony of the shrine maidens.

I nodded silently, no matter what the women danced or did, it had nothing to do with me, and my gaze would only follow one person from beginning to end......

However, in the bottom of that person's heart, he never put me in it......

After the ceremony, the army of the followers of the national teacher, ten miles long street, dragged out a long silver line, and gradually disappeared under the city gate. The emperor took the civil and military officials and watched the sonorous soldiers on the city gate with a slanting afterglow and the vigorous backs of the soldiers.

Until the figure faded, until the ministers dispersed, His Highness Hi Yi kept standing in place, his expression was a trace of nostalgia that I had never seen before, looking in a certain direction, as if he had been hit by a magic barrier.

I understood His Highness's worries, and I couldn't bear to go up to comfort him, so I stood behind him and looked at him without blinking.

Until the last rays of the sunset dissipated, and the moonlight shone with silver glow, falling on his white robe, his expression was melancholy and very different from the previous highness I knew Ruya.

Just when he thought that His Highness would never speak again, he suddenly said, "Do you think he will come back safely?" ”

I was slightly stunned, it turned out that His Highness knew that I had been standing behind him all along.

Immediately, my heart began to stretch like a knife.

I thought that His Royal Highness was worried about state affairs and couldn't let go of the army and the situation of the battle this time, so he was so depressed, but I didn't expect that he would be hesitant and worried because of the national teacher.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the wisdom of the national teacher is extraordinary, and his martial arts are not low, and he will definitely return safely."

"You're right, he has always been much longer thinking than others, plus one-handed divination, as well as superb martial arts, this time with the army, nothing will happen!" As he spoke, he turned his head, a glimmer of light pulsing in his eyes, as if he was saying to himself, as if he was asking me, wanting an affirmation from me to strengthen his heart.

I shook my palm and nodded, "Your Highness is right!" ”

Sure enough, he suddenly became very happy, his face swept away the gloom just now, and he walked down from the city gate with easy steps. My heart is like a blockage, I can't go up or down.

Looking at the lights of thousands of homes under the city gate, there was a glimmer of light flickering in my eyes.

I began to have a terrible thought, His Highness seems to have begun to forget me, and all this is because of the existence of the national teacher......

Is it not, as long as the national teacher is gone, His Royal Highness will

Completely forget about him as a person?

will take me back, and treat me as well as before.

Once this kind of thought is formed in the bottom of my heart, it will be like a budding seed, constantly climbing and absorbing, and finally growing wildly.

With the passage of time, His Royal Highness will occasionally come to the Qingxu Palace, but every time he sits for a short time and leaves disappointed, it seems that the same place, as long as the person leaves, he can't let him experience the fun of the past, there is no nostalgia.

Just like he did with me, perhaps, never had a nostalgia......

In the blink of an eye, it was another two days, Mu Han was sorting out some papers with strange symbols in the courtyard, and Changshui was shouldering the orders that the national teacher had ordered before leaving, so I rarely saw her during this time.

I walked over bored, "What are these?" "I've seen these things on the national teacher, but I've never seen the national teacher use these things, and I can't help but be curious in my heart.

He first glanced at me, and soon, he began to get busy with the things in his hand again, although his attitude was very cold, but he gradually said verbally: "These are all spiritual runes, and the national teacher will write these things down every once in a while, and then send people to various palaces in the palace to ward off evil spirits." ”

"Ward off evil spirits?" I'm a little surprised, I don't believe in bulls, ghosts, snakes, gods and the like.

However, after thinking about it, the national teacher is usually good at divination and hexagrams, so it is not surprising that these ghosts and supernatural things will appear in this Qingxu Palace.

"And what are you going to do with all this stuff?"

"According to the past practice, on April 7 every year, it should be sorted out by the national teacher himself, and I sent it to various palaces, but this year, the national teacher went out with the army, and there was no way to sort it out in person, so before leaving, I deliberately drove these things out and told me to sort them out."

"Do you have to send all these things to the palace, big and small?"

"Hmmm......"

"So many palaces have to be sent?!" I opened my mouth in surprise, Mu Han nodded silently, and didn't say anything more.

The palace of this Cangyun country is almost half the size of the capital, and the group of concubines who went out to the emperor's harem, as well as the many princes and princesses under the knees of Emperor Huangyun, go out to these, and some others, the people left by the old emperors and some important tasks that have been entrusted.

If it were sent in every palace, it wouldn't be something that could be done in a while.

After thinking about it, I couldn't help but speak, "Why don't you let me help you......"

"You?" He didn't seem to expect me to be so friendly.

I know that Mu Han has always been vigilant against me, even if he has been here for the past two years, although he can still talk to me occasionally, we rarely talk about anything else, so he will be suspicious, and I am not surprised at all.

Instead, he nodded affirmatively, "You write down the palace you want to send, draw a simple direction and mark it, and I'll send it in a while." ”

He thought about it, and finally agreed.

The lights of the East Palace have always been transparent late at night, but this time, when I walked through the entrance of the hall, the cold atmosphere gave me a hint of sadness.

After I handed over the things to the palace maid who opened the door to pick me up, I couldn't help but worry in my heart and ask His Highness about the situation.

The palace maid's face suddenly became gloomy, as if she was speechless, and finally smiled at me quickly, saying that His Royal Highness is very good, and everything is fine in the East Palace......

Are you alright?

With suspicion along the way, I turned around and did something bold.

Explore the East Palace at night, the Prince's Mansion!

Cooked as I remember

Knowing the location, I soon found the courtyard of the Venerable Hua.

To my surprise, there was no one in the luxurious courtyard wall.

I know that His Highness has always liked quiet, but I know that no matter how much His Highness likes tranquility, he will not be so presumptuous alone in the middle of the night.

Because of his identity and the future mission he holds, he is not allowed to indulge in willfulness!

“…… Yun Xiao, this palace dreamed of you again last night, dreaming that you went out with the army, on the battlefield trampled by iron hooves, you were injured by the sword of the Nine Princes, blood ran down your chest, and kept flowing down, you were surrounded by blood, and this palace kept calling you back and coming back, but you didn't listen to the words of this palace at all, and insisted on catching up, and finally ...... Hey......"

Do I hear the grief coming from within? The lonely voice, I approached with joy, but I heard these words that made me even more uncomfortable.

“…… Hongu met you when she was five years old, and she didn't know what kind of magic obstacle you had hit, but she began to put your every move into the bottom of his eyes. It is clear that this palace is a little older than you, but in terms of knowledge, martial arts, and merit, you are far more than this palace. This palace has hated you, envied you, and alienated you, but in the end, it also felt sorry for you...... How can you do this to Hongu? Why, this palace wants to forget you, but involuntarily stares at you from the court? Why does the more this palace wants to leave you behind, but in the end, it can only make the memory in your mind more false and clear?

…… Yun Xiao, you say, in the previous life, did this palace owe you anything, and you have to bear such a great pain of Duguhe in this life?

If you are a woman, then this palace should be fascinated by your talent. But you're an out-and-out man? Why, even if you are a man, this palace is so obsessed with you, just like this time?

Yun Xiao, in front of the Qingxu Palace, you personally promised the palace that you would definitely come back safely. Father said that you never say a word of lie, and you will not be able to live up to Cangyun Kingdom and live up to this palace, so this time, you said that you would come back, and if this palace believed it, you would definitely come back safely...... Hongu is still waiting for the game of chess that night has not been played, waiting for the scroll that stopped in the middle of your speech, and the sound of the piano that has dropped the second half of the song......

Yunxiao, do you know...... Hongu is real...... Miss you so much......"

There was a crunch sound, as if something had fallen off the table.

My heart ached, and every inch of my skin trembled involuntarily...... Even breathing hurts!

For a moment, I seemed to walk over and hug the lonely and lonely back, and tell him that in this world, it is not the national teacher alone who can make Your Highness so admired and admired, nor is it the only national teacher who can play chess, books, and tunes, nor is it only the national teacher who can make Your Highness fascinated and worried...... She's not alone, no!

However, it was as if I had been poured a jack under my feet, heavy, and I couldn't take a single step.

With the pain in my body and heart, the thought that I had tried so hard to suppress was reborn again.

If, in this world, that person disappears, His Highness's eyes will stop swaying, and His Highness's heart will be liberated, then I, even if I do something, there is nothing wrong with it.

I don't know how I left the East Palace, and I don't know when I returned to the Qingxu Palace.

When I came back, Mu Han was still sorting out the remaining charms, looking at my lost soul, his lips moved, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Me? No, probably...... It's a little tired. I ran away from his sight.
