There was only a drizzle outside, not like the torrential rain a few hours ago, and the sleeping hedge stepped on the slippery bluestone slab, and his steps were steady and slow, for fear of accidentally falling.

Before arriving at the courtyard, Mian Lian stretched out his hand to open the door and walked in.

In the empty courtyard, only the hedge tree stood on the edge of the courtyard wall.

After the intensive rain in the middle of the night, the stone slab under the hedge tree fell to the ground colorfully.

The huge white canopy of the trees was washed more and more transparently, and under the white moonlight, there was a little white light.

Sleeping hedge walked closer, looked up at the hedge tree a few times, then crouched down and began to pick up the fallen flowers one by one.

Occasionally, she put one to her nose and sniffed it, with a satisfied smile on her face from time to time.

"Childe's biological mother Princess Lanzhu likes fence flowers, in the past, Xiangfu was planted everywhere by the old patriarch hedge trees, whenever the hedge flowers bloom, there will always be a lot of Yin'an nobles to come, lined up to watch the hedge flowers, can be a great occasion at that time. ”

Behind him, the voice of the tanuki suddenly sounded.

Mian Li's hand moved, and he got up and looked back.

I saw the tanuki carrying a white jade sheep's horn lamp with a faint white light, neatly dressed and standing not far away looking at her.

The tanuki slave continued as he approached the sleeping fence: "Since the death of Princess Lanzhu, the fence flower tree was ordered by the old patriarch to be uprooted overnight, and replaced with the green bamboo that is now in Manchu. ”

The raccoon slave walked to the side of the hedge and stood still, looking up at the hedgerow: "The old patriarch is sad about the death of Princess Lanzhu, and so is the son. ”

He retracted his gaze and looked at Mian Li: "Your name, whether it is Moon Fence or Mian Li, contains the word 'Fence', which Gongzi specially chose in order to mourn his deceased mother, Princess Lanzhu. ”

Mian Hedge was stunned.

She paused and asked, "You said that the hedge tree was completely removed overnight, so what is the explanation for the one in front of you?"

"That's what Childe transplanted later. ”

"Transplanting?"

The tanuki nodded: "It was transplanted from the fence." ”

Fence Fast......

Mian Li knew this place, but not from reality, but from dreams and consciousness.

"Does the fence really exist?"

Because she hadn't regained all of her memories yet, she still had doubts about whether all of her consciousness and what she had seen and felt in her dreams was true.

There was a hint of depth in the eyes of the tanuki slave: "Every year when the winter solstice comes, the son will go to the fence to stay for a few days. ”

Mian Li nodded thoughtfully.

After being silent for a while, Mian Liang asked again, "Why did Princess Nalan Zhu die early?"

As she spoke, she looked at the few hedge flowers she had just picked up in her palm.

After a while, the voice of the tanuki slave came.

"The old patriarch has borne the curse of the Xiang clan of 'wives and children survive'. ”

The heroine looked at the tanuki slave in amazement, her eyes full of disbelief.

She never thought that Princess Lanzhu's death was actually caused by a world curse.

Although Xiangyu told her that she was a sacrifice to break the curse, and she had heard about the curse from Xiangyu and others, she still had a vague impression of what the curse was.

And she saw that the Xiang clan had always been prosperous, and the peak of the clan would not fall all year round, and she still thought in her heart that this world could not curse Er'er, and she could not hurt the Xiang clan too much.

But at this moment, listening to the tanuki slave, she realized that this world curse was indeed much more dangerous and powerful than she imagined.

Moreover, the wife died and the children survived......

That is, Lan Zhu died, and Xiangyu lived.

You can't choose one of the two below.

The old patriarch and son, what kind of mood should they have lived with to the present?

Seeing her reaction, the tanuki slave couldn't help but say, "Otherwise, why did Gongzi take such great pains to plant and raise you, and in the next six hundred years, he has been looking for you everywhere, what do you think it is for?"

The tanuki slave's eyes sank: "Sleep fence, you have become a fate that Gongzi can't break free from for the rest of his life." ”

Mian Fence looked stunned for a moment, and was shocked again by the raccoon slave's words.

"I'm ...... Childe found it?!"

Didn't you meet by chance?

The tanuki looked at her deeply: "More than six hundred years ago, after you disappeared from the ceremony, you woke up again, and you lost your memory, and appeared in the fog city of the most bitter and barren western ghost field township among the four major ghost field townships. ”

Mian Liang was surprised: "Childe, he ......"

The tanuki sighed: "Childe has poured more effort into you than you think. ”

The eyelashes of the sleeping fence trembled violently, and the rain mist that had accumulated on them was shaken off and poured down on the sides of his cheeks, quickly merging with the fine rain that had drifted onto his cheeks.

Mian Liang subconsciously reached out and rubbed his eyelids, and as soon as his hand was released, all the petals in his palm fell to his feet.

Mian Liang looked down at the few petals of the hedge that she had pinched at her feet, and after a moment of silence, she said again: "Tanuki ghost, you are wrong, Gongzi, he is not pouring his heart and soul into me, everything he does is for the Xiang clan." ”

Saying that, she looked up at the tanuki slave, pointed to the hedge tree in front of her, and said, "Childe used my blood to nourish this hedge tree to make sure that I am dead or not, right?"

"If I die, the flowers on this hedge tree will die in an instant, right?"

The tanuki pursed his lips and did not deny it: "Even so, you should never hold a grudge against your son." ”

Mian Li let out a sarcastic laugh, "That's why you came here to tell me so much tonight." ”

"Come and persuade me not to make a fuss to him because of the slap that the boy gave me that night. ”

The tanuki didn't answer, and Mian Fence knew that he had guessed it again.

"Tanuki ghost servant, what did you say that Gongzi locked all of Yin'an's hedge flowers into my body in the first place?

When Mian Fence finished saying this, for some reason, there was a touch of desolation in his smile that he had never seen before.

At this moment, the tanuki slave saw it in his eyes, and he actually felt that the appearance of the sleeping fence overlapped with the appearance of the moon fence on the bloody night more than 600 years ago, as if the moon fence had returned.

The tanuki slave trembled in his heart, blinked vigorously a few times, and when he looked again, he found that it was just his own illusion.

He couldn't help but sigh heavily: "After all, you were planted and raised by Gongzi himself, thinking like this will chill Gongzi's heart." ”

Mian Fence didn't seem to hear what the tanuki slave said, she was a little relentless, she looked aggressive, and continued to ask, "When did Childe transplant this hedge tree here?"

The tanuki frowned slightly, he always felt that tonight's hedge seemed to be a little different from usual.

But he still patiently answered her question: "More than six hundred years ago, after you ate half of the head, the second year of his reincarnation, when he was babbling. ”

When babbling......

It's a child's language to instruct the raccoon slave or the people in the house to transplant it.
