This moment of silence seemed to many as eternity.

Sun Youwei finally laughed.

The ministers looked at the empress on the throne, she did laugh, and sighed softly, "What can be done about this?" ”

Cen Lingju was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Sun Youwei's face, "Your Majesty......?" ”

"The person you fell in love with was the one you fell in love with," Sun Youwei narrowed his eyes and said in a very soft voice, "What can you do?" ”

Cen Lingju: "Erchen ......"

"There's no way, it's the most helpless thing in the world." Sun Youwei said in a rare and loving tone, "Either wait, or you can only like others." ”

Cen Lingju's tears suddenly welled up, "Erchen...... Got it. ”

Sun Youwei looked at Yin Shiyun, "It's a surprise tonight, don't be surprised by Lord Yin." ”

Yin Shiyun leaned over and kowtowed, "Your Majesty Xie is considerate." ”

……

It's night, Yan Wu Sheng.

Countless beauties and young men in water-sleeved robes in the inner court came out of the sky - they were Sun Youwei's favorite singers and dancers, and on ordinary days, the ministers rarely saw them.

Even though her temples are gray, Sun Youwei still loves "juvenile atmosphere", and her harem is full of young people between the boundary between masculinity and femininity.

These young beauties and teenagers washed away the ominous misfortune of the first half of the night with laughter and eye waves, and after a few light drinks, many young people who had suppressed themselves for half the night also got up and joined in the dance before them—unlike the older ones, who were the real protagonists of the summer feast.

After returning to the seat, Yin Shiyun was no longer in the mood to watch the summer banquet, and left the night banquet early.

Feng Yan sat quietly in her place, her expression indifferent, watching countless strange and beautiful faces pass by her sight.

After a long time, Feng Yan said in a low voice, "Lord Wei...... I'm a little tired and want to go back. ”

Wei Xingzhen nodded.

The two took the red ethereal mash that Di Yang gave him tonight, went to say goodbye to Sun Youwei together, and then walked slowly along the road to the Xuanmen.

However, before they could get out of the palace gate, they heard shouts behind them.

"Childe! Lord Wei! Please stay! ”

Feng Yan and Wei Xingzhen stopped at the same time - they saw the female official next to Sun Youwei and chased after him again.

"What's wrong?" Wei Xingzhen asked.

"Your Majesty has a will, let Lord Wei wait," Fuguang ran a little out of breath, "There is news from Dali Temple just now, it is about the Mingtang Underground Palace...... Later, His Majesty will separately summon Lord Wei and the relevant people of Dali Temple for questioning. ”

Wei Xingzhen frowned, "How late is it later?" Can I let me first-"

"It's hard to say, Lord Wei," Fuguang was a little embarrassed, "I don't know when His Majesty will summon you, but if you don't have it when you summon you—"

"Master Wei, go." Feng Yan suddenly spoke.

"But Ah Yan, you-"

"I'm fine," Feng Yan's gaze looked into the distance - a line of familiar figures was slowly approaching, "That should be Xiao Qi...... For the rest of the way, they will walk with me, anyway, when you go out of the palace gate, go to the palace and go outside, and they will take me back safely. ”

Sure enough, before Feng Yan's words fell, she heard Feng Yishu shouting in the distance, "Sister!" ”

"I'm fine." Feng Yan repeated in a low voice again, "Moreover, I also want to be alone for a while." ”

Wei Xingzhen didn't insist any longer, and after handing over Feng Yan to the Li family, he stood where he was and watched them leave.

Sun Youwei had already returned to the hall at this time, but the singing and dancing under the peach forest continued.

Barring no accidents, these songs and dances will continue until dawn.

……

"What are you going back to the Wei family, Sister will just go back with us tonight."

Feng Yishu and Feng Xiaoqi supported Feng Yan on one side, and the family slowly walked on the palace road at night.

Although there are scattered people around at the moment, the palace at night is many times more cloudy than during the day.

This is not unusual, every bluestone brick here, every glazed tile, is almost removed from Chang'an.

In the four hundred years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in these four hundred years, they have been soaked in the blood and tears of many palace people, so that there is also a faint layer of old grievances attached to this new palace road.

Out of the Xuanmen, the carriage with the lanterns of the Wei Mansion was not far away, Xiao Qi suddenly pulled Feng Yan's sleeve, "Sister, ...... today"

She originally wanted to relay the conversation between Yin Shiyun and herself tonight to Feng Yan, but as soon as she looked up, she saw that her sister's face had the tired look she was most familiar with in the past.

Feng Xiaoqi swallowed the words back into his stomach.

After the family said goodbye to Feng Yan, Feng Yishu smiled, "After tonight, Sister Yin will definitely believe in Lord Yin's sincerity." ”

He looked at Xiao Qi, "Let's find a chance to connect them again, Sister A and Lord Yin will definitely be able to reconcile!" ”

“…… Fifth brother, don't you understand? ”

“…… Understand what? ”

"To Lord Yin, Sister Ah is just that she hasn't completely let go of her heart now-"

"I can't let it go, isn't it just that I still have Lord Yin's meaning in my heart?"

Feng Xiaoqi wanted to refute, but after pondering for a long time, he always felt that the words did not reach the point.

This feeling...... It's really a little subtle, and it seems difficult to explain it in a few words.

Looking at Feng Yan's departing carriage, Feng Xiaoqi thought thoughtfully, "Maybe...... The only thing that can be reconciled is anger and disappointment...... There's no way to reconcile. ”

"Huh? What? ”

"Fifth brother......" Feng Xiaoqi sighed, "You better hurry up and fall in love, I have to explain everything to you, it's really troublesome." ”

……

Under the cover of night, he was driving the carriage slowly.

With the reins in his hands and an additional whip in his right, he quietly looked ahead, avoiding all the potholes in the road, and carefully mastered the rhythm of the carriage.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door of the carriage.

"What does the wife command?" ”

"Don't ...... Went further. Feng Yan's voice carried some tiredness, "Change your way." ”

Without hearing this, he smoothly parked the carriage on the side of the road.

As soon as he was about to ask why, he heard a group of muffled footsteps in the night ahead.

He stood up in the carriage and looked far away—about a block or two away, at the intersection, where many people were slowly passing by. The men walked slowly, and their shadows almost merged with the night, barely discerning them without looking closely.

“…… This," Qu Shi's brow furrowed, "where did so many people come from in the middle of the night?" ”

The door of the carriage opened a gap.

"You go...... Take a look ahead. Feng Yan looked in the direction of the crowd with some concern, "Look at these people...... It's all about what it is. ”
