Before leaving, he did not send him off.

Antai waited at the gate of Qihe Palace early in the morning in a carriage, on which were placed the peach wood piano of Changxi Palace and a set of Qi white jade tea sets. The four sisters dressed up as palace maids and left the White Jade Palace smoothly with Antai. Tai'an said: "Miss Su Qin wants to stay in the Song Kingdom, and the king instructed that Miss Su can be put down when passing through Qingcheng on the border of Song and Chu, but Miss Su is alone, so it is better to go to the State of Chu with everyone, and then take this customs clearance document back to the Song Kingdom in the future." With that, he handed a cloth bag to Su Qin, which contained customs clearance documents.

Su Qin took the paperwork and said, "Please also ask Brother An to thank King Song for me." ”

Antai said: "The king asked me to convey that the girls have all the flowers and moons, and he is afraid that this palace is deep and deep, delaying the girls' years." ”

Su Qin felt sorry for herself, but she also knew that King Song had a point.

Yan Xiao sighed: "King Song is really a good person! The kings of Kyushu, there really is no one who can compare with him. ”

Song Yun agreed: "Yes, he has a big heart, and the people of the Song Kingdom should really be happy." ”

Xiao Yi looked at the peach wood qin blankly. Two days ago, he was still standing beside her, saying that she could take all the things from Changxi Palace. His breath was still in her ears, but they were never to say goodbye. This time out of the jade capital, she didn't know when his lovesick Gu poison attacked, only that she couldn't forget this man who died because of her but didn't blame her at all in her life. Maybe it's herself who can't cure lovesickness.

After leaving the city, Antai parked the carriage on the bank of Peach Blossom Creek in the southern suburbs of Yudu and said, "Princess Yi, the tombs of King Qi Ai and Queen Qi Ai are built on the bank of Peach Blossom Creek." ”

Xiao Yi knew that this must be Liu Yingtuo Antai stopping here so that she could worship. Her heart warmed and said, "Trouble Brother An to stay here for a while, I'll go back when I go." So he jumped out of the carriage and walked along the Peach Blossom Creek to the burial mound. Last night's rain knocked the lush peach blossoms to the ground. Xiao Yi was dressed in white, walking on the pink avenue of falling flowers, Tingting curled up, one step at a time.

Kneeling in front of the tomb and kowtowing three times, she said, "Father, mother, daughter has come to see you." At that time, my daughter didn't know that you sent me to my aunt's house to play so that I could escape. We didn't say goodbye at that time, but today, my daughter has come to say goodbye to you. My daughter has never heard from her brother and brother, and maybe they, like me, are still alive. You have spirits in heaven, bless them with peace. ”

The tomb is silent, and there is the sound of falling flowers. Xiao Yi sobbed, choked up and said, "When my daughter was in the Chen Kingdom, she was determined to assassinate the King of Song and avenge you. My daughter studied art for ten years, but unfortunately when she left the school, King Wu of Song, who destroyed my Qi country, suddenly fell ill and died. The daughter went to assassinate his son, Liu Ying, the king of Song. He has been poisoned by an incurable poison, and his life is not long in coming. The princes of the Song Kingdom are all still young and distributed in various fiefdoms, and none of them are up to the task. When the current King of Song is dead, the Song Kingdom will be in chaos. When the time comes, the Wei Kingdom and the Qi State will join forces, and they will definitely be able to recover the homeland. My daughter is worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of the country of Qi, and worthy of you. ”

Saying the word "ashamed", she remembered Liu Ying again. She is worthy of everyone, but of him. She cried on to the tombstone, crying about the mockery of fate, crying about the disobedience of people, crying about the grievances and loneliness she had endured over the years, and crying about all the sorrows and farewells she could cry. She seemed to see Liu Ying pass away with a smile, and she never heard about him again......

Xiao Yi wiped her tears and said, "My daughter is also interested in someone." It's a pity that he's going to die. My daughter's wish in the world has been fulfilled, and when he dies...... I will take him to you. ”

At this time, she suddenly heard someone behind her say: "You don't have to wait, it's better to meet King Qi and Queen Qi here today." ”

Xiao Yi jumped up in shock, and looked at Liu Ying, the king of Song in civilian clothes, in front of him, with tears in his eyes. Liu Ying looked at her gently, and then bowed three times to the joint burial tomb of King Qi and Queen Qi, and said, "Junior Liu Ying, I have come to meet King and Queen Qi." ”

Xiao Yi asked in disbelief, "Why are you here?" ”

Liu Ying said: "I originally thought that when I went out of the city, you would definitely come here to worship, and I would be able to look at you from afar." But I didn't expect to stand far enough to hear what you were saying while crying. ”

Xiao Yi blushed and turned away from him.

Liu Ying put her hands on Xiao Yi's shoulders and asked solemnly: "Xiao Yi, if I am like an ordinary man in the world, I try my best to pursue the woman I like when I see it, are you also willing to happily accept the pursuit of the man I like like an ordinary woman in the world?" Liu Ying, the king of Song, looked at her with honest and burning eyes.

On the banks of Peach Blossom Creek, the petals fall in a row, making this thin and delicate man look so dazzling. How can such a man be an ordinary man in the world?

She lowered her head, endured the dizziness caused by the collision of her heart like a deer, and whispered: "King Song, you can never be an ordinary man in the world. Your father and brother have driven my father and queen to death. The hatred of the country and the family are between you and me, how can I accept it happily? ”

Liu Ying said: "If I were not the King of Song, would you let go of these national hatreds and family hatreds?" ”

Xiao Yi smiled bitterly: "Maybe in the next life, if we can still meet ......"

Liu Ying suddenly held Xiao Yi's hand and put it in her heart. He said softly and emotionally: "Xiao Yi, I am willing to abdicate." In this way, I am an ordinary man in the Song Kingdom. As soon as I, the king of Song, 'dies', the purpose of your trip to the Yudu will be achieved, and you will be worthy of the relatives, friends and deceased of the Qi country. You and I left the Jade Capital hand in hand and left the Song Kingdom. Kyushu is so big, there is no place for you and me! ”

Xiao Yi looked at Liu Ying in shock.

Liu Ying said: "I, Liu Ying of the Song Kingdom, today in front of the tombs of King Qi and Queen Qi, ask to marry your daughter, Princess Xiao Yi. If she is willing to marry me, I will step down from the throne of the Song Dynasty and join hands with her to be a couple of mandarin ducks. She is worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of her homeland, worthy of her parents and relatives, but she owes her own heart. ”

Xiao Yi wanted to pull out the hand he was holding, but his strength was so great that she couldn't break free at all.

Liu Ying stared at Xiao Yi and asked hopefully: "Xiao Yi, if I abdicate, are you willing to marry me?" ”

Xiao Yi's struggling hand suddenly lost its strength. She angrily asked, "Why did this happen to me?" "Why can't death make you afraid? Why be so gentle with an assassin who killed you? Why do you want me to kill you and make me fall in love with you? Why let me go and let me go but I can't bear to leave you?

Liu Ying smiled bitterly and asked, "Why are you doing this to me?" Why did I hear early on that there was a talented and beautiful princess in the Qi Kingdom, which made me want to marry you ten years ago? And why did you disappear again, let me search in Kyushu, even the year I thought I was about to die, I still didn't stop looking for you. Why did I want to ransom her out of the hall when I saw the willow-waisted girl, the first dancer of Chen Guo, in the dance hall in Fanjing, but at that time, I knew that my life was short, and where would I put her when I ransomed her? It's better to let her find her wishful home in Chen Guo. Why did I think of that willow-waisted girl again after ascending the throne? So he secretly revealed his tone to Prime Minister Chen Guoguo, saying that the harem of the new monarch of the Song Kingdom was empty, and that he heard that the first beauty of Chen Guo was the willow waist of Fanjing. Why are Qi Guo Xiao Yi and Chen Guo Liu waist the same person? Why is the woman I like repeatedly, in the past and present life, it is all you? ”

Xiao Yi has long been crying, there are too many whys, I only hate fate to make people!

Liu Ying wrapped her arms around her waist and held her tightly in her arms, letting her tears drench his clothes. He stabilized his mind and said: "Why do I want to let you go again and again, but I still can't let go?" In Chen Guofanjing, I am a sick and crooked person, and I am not worthy of you, but now, I am the king of Song who owns the entire Song Kingdom, you are the woman that King Chen dedicated to me, and you are the assassin who assassinated me, but I still have to bear to send you away. I told myself over and over again, sending you away, you are the best, there is always someone who can give you a stable life. In the Chen Kingdom, I thought so, and in my own Song Kingdom, I actually thought the same way. I've already died once, I couldn't do what I wanted in my last life, do I have to wronged myself in this life? I wanted to quietly see you go, but when I heard what was on your mind, I didn't want to suppress my heart anymore. Maybe one day I will regret my willfulness today, but if I don't try my best to keep you today, I'm afraid we both will regret it for the rest of our lives. ”

Listening to his gentle voice and listening to his solid heartbeat, Xiao Yi mustered up his courage: "I'm not leaving." ”

Liu Ying asked softly, "What did you say?" "I'm afraid that I will be frightened away by the faint sound like a falling flower just now.

Xiao Yi leaned on his shoulder and said slowly: "I always think that I will be hasty in this life, and when I avenge the hatred of the country and the family, I will die alone in the prison of the Song Kingdom, this is the fate of a princess who died in the country." I never dared to hope for love. When I was in the Fanjing Dance Hall, there were rich sons who paid a lot of money to redeem me, and there were also rangers who were willing to take me out of the dance hall desperately. I rejected their kindness, because I knew that the only purpose of my life was revenge, and that I could not give them what they wanted for the rest of their lives. Until I met you, stabbed you, and let you fall into the most vicious lovesick Gu in Kyushu, I felt that my purpose was accomplished, but I couldn't be happy, but fell into endless pain. I assassinated you, but you didn't get angry, you fed me, told me stories, deliberately chose a clean day in the harem for me to revisit my hometown, and arranged all the preparations for me to leave the Song Kingdom. I wanted to leave like this, but I felt guilty and couldn't help but tell you that you had been poisoned by lovesickness, thinking that in this way you would send me to prison, so that I could feel better, but I didn't expect you to just laugh and say that death is a relief for you, as if I had done a good deed for you. I won't go to Chu anymore, so I'll stay in your harem and die with you. You have done what I wanted, and I did what you wanted. ”

Liu Ying said: "I don't want you to choose me because of guilt. Antai's carriage is just outside the peach blossom forest, if you want to go now, you can still go. ”

Xiao Yi wiped away her tears, her eyes were bright, and she said to Liu Ying with a smile: "It's not because of guilt, but because of ......"

"Because of what?"

Xiao Yi stroked Liu Ying's shirt and said, "Because of Qingqing Zijin, I have a leisurely heart." ”

On the carriage to Chu State, Song Yun asked An Tai: "Brother An, we really don't wait for Liu Yuan?" She's not in danger, is she? ”

Antai said: "The king has commanded that our carriage must not stay in the southern suburbs for too long, otherwise it will attract attention, and none of you will be able to walk at that time." Remembering Princess Jiren's own nature, she will be fine. The king also gave her the paperwork to clear the customs, and she can go to the Chu State to find you at any time. ”

The three sisters in the carriage looked at each other, but they already vaguely knew that Princess Yi might have been left behind by King Song.

In the Yongtai Palace, King Song picked up the lamp and read at night, Xiao Yi dressed up as a palace maid, sitting on the side and boldly looking at the man shining in the candlelight in front of her. Maybe he will die of poison in the next moment, but as long as they can stay together at this moment, she will not be afraid, because she will be with him, life and death.

Liu Ying put down the book and said with a smile: "Yi'er, if you continue to look like this, if you are as diligent as me, you will become mediocre." ”

Xiao Yi sneered. With him, she is always happy, as if she has saved a lifetime of smiles in these days.

Liu Ying pointed to the piano in front of the case and said, "Yi'er is a five-year-old piano, I wonder if I can listen to it today?" ”

Xiao Yi walked to the piano and sat down, and said, "Since Song Jun is mediocre, Fanjing Liu's waist is willing to stroke the piano and sing for you every night." ”

Liu Ying raised her voice and said, "Bring the wine!" ”

In Xiao Yi's smooth piano sound, the palace people sent in seven jars of wine, as well as several wine vessels of different shapes and colors. Xiao Yi stroked the piano while listening to Liu Ying's introduction to these wines: "Back then, the dying man traveled around the world with several heroes and learned three things, one is sword casting, the second is martial arts, and the third is wine tasting. These seven jars of wine are the Baiguo Brew of Chen State, the Linjiang Immortal of Chu State, the Sorghum Drunk of Zhao State, the Qinghelu of Song State, the Centipede Fen of Shu State, the Scorching Rain of Wei State and the White Jade Spring of Qi State. Chen Guo's 100 fruit brew, the color is purple and red, and it is advisable to use a glass cup. The Linjiang Immortal of Chu is hazy and sweet, and it is the most delicious with the fragrance of bamboo, so use a bamboo cup. Zhao Guo's sorghum is drunk, and a large porcelain bowl is used. The clear lotus dew of the Song Kingdom is the wine drunk by the women in the boudoir, only a touch of wine fragrance, and the rest are lotus fragrance, so it is advisable to use a small silver bowl in the shape of a lotus. The centipede Fen of Shu is the most heavy, and the bronze cup of the ancient Shu country should be used. The scorching rain of the patriotic country is the wine that the knights drink while wiping their swords, the taste is nothing special, the main thing to drink is the bowl of desolation and loneliness, so use a simple wooden bowl. The white jade spring of Qi must use Qi white jade cup. ”

Liu Ying said while pouring the wine, Xiao Yi looked at it interestingly, threw the piano aside, leaned over to smell the good wines of various countries, and picked up the exquisite wine utensils to take a closer look. She smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to be really mediocre, you don't think about politics all day long, and you are studying winemaking and sword casting!" As he spoke, he was about to take a sip of the Linjiang Immortal of the Chu State.

Liu Ying stopped: "No, you have to start with the lightest, otherwise you will have no taste when you drink it." Then he handed over the Qinghe dew of the Song Kingdom.

After drinking for seventy years, Xiao Yi was drunk and worried, and sat in Liu Ying's arms, rubbing a wisp of green silk hanging in front of him in his hand. Xiao Yi said in a daze: "I didn't expect you to be like this, and I didn't expect myself to be so soft-hearted." ”

Liu Ying stroked her head and said, "I wasn't like this before, after I met you, my heart was so soft that it hurt." ”

Xiao Yi leaned on his chest and muttered dizzily, "If I hadn't smeared Acacia Gu on the hairpin, you wouldn't have died." But if you don't die, I can't fall in love with you. I have to avenge them before I can do what I want. But if you die, I will be sad for the rest of my life. Instead of being sad for the rest of your life, it is better to die with you. ”

Liu Ying stared at her with low eyebrows, understood her thoughts, and whispered, "It's me who is not good, I actually let you stab me." If I had known this, I should have been diligent in practicing martial arts. ”

Xiao Yi burst into tears and whimpered: "Why do you always blame yourself? Can you blame me once? I stabbed you, but it became yours, right? ”

Liu Ying wiped her tears and said, "Don't you blame me? If I had died in the fiefdom, I would not have met you in Fanjing, nor would I have hinted that King Chen would have sacrificed you to the Song Kingdom, and you were still the most valuable woman in Fanjing at this time, not a palace maid without a name in my bleak palace. ”

Xiao Yi stroked Liu Ying's hair and said, "Those princes and grandsons in Fanjing are not as good as one of your hair. ”

Liu Ying suddenly held Xiao Yi's hand and said, "Yi'er, I can't tell my mother that you are the princess of Qi Guoyi who assassinated me, otherwise she won't leave you in the palace." When you accompany me in the palace, I don't want to wronged you to be the maid of the tea palace by my side. I want to crown you queen, but when the time is ripe, when I fabricate a useful identity for you, when you are pregnant with our child, and when I have real power in the court. When everything is safe in the Song Kingdom, I will abdicate and take you to travel around the world. Our children should also grow up carefree between the mountains and rivers, and not be the princes and grandsons of Laoshizi. ”

Xiao Yi smiled sweetly, knowing that his life was short, but it was always good to have such and such hopes.

Liu Ying kissed Xiao Yi in her arms heavily. At first, she was shy and dodgy, but then she learned that she couldn't beat him if she couldn't twist him, and she was so drunk that she had to let him be wanton to plunder, gentle to lingering, and intoxicated to fanatical......

Liu Ying looked at Xiao Yi, who was sleeping in the crook of his arm, and said softly, "Yi'er, I won't die." Acacia Gu poison, you can only get it once in your life, my time has been solved by the head of Yaowang Mountain, and I have long been a person who is invincible to all poisons. I will always be with you. ”
