All the precious furnishings in the palace are cold and ornate, with the edges of the paper being notched with vines and the corners of each with pale pink cherry blossoms. The rich aroma of agarwood permeates the paper, and the ornate and delicate quills continue the extravagance of medieval royalty, with a sapphire set at the end.

Gold, porcelain, jewelry, silk satin, fragrant wood.

These five things make up the whole palace.

"Iris......" Nan Zuisheng held a quill pen in her hand and wrote the name of the iris on the paper repeatedly, the fragrance of agarwood lingered on the end of her nose, she held her cheeks with one hand and stared at the flowing handwriting, patiently and meticulously cracking the secret in front of her.

The sapphire reflects the deep and mysterious color of the blue ocean, she wrote the word iris row after row, the narrow and slender jade fingers gently picked up the edge of the paper, Nan Zuisheng raised his eyes to stare at the intricate ink-colored handwriting on the paper, and his eyes were as shallow as water when he stayed on the two lines of the word irises put together, and suddenly froze deeply on the paper.

Upper kite and lower wood......

Mo Yu's long hair poured down on the edge of the red sandalwood brocade couch with Nan Zuisheng's movements, and she picked up the quill pen and wrote the word kite on a new piece of paper again, and when the two words kite and wood were pieced together by her front and back and written on the paper, the --- obtained was a brand new word.

Upper Kite:

Lower wood.

The white and soft feathers brushed the fingertips that were as white as jade, and Nan Zuisheng stared deeply at the brand-new word on the paper, and his face could not hide his stunned emotions: "Iris...... Owl. "Ignore the radical at the top, which is similar to the word 'Ge', and the rest is perfectly combined to form a 'Xiao' character.

Nan Fusheng once said that when the Northern War cleared an underground drug trafficking organization, because his methods were too ruthless and ruthless, this caused his wife Iris to suffer revenge from the fish that slipped through the net. But now it seems that the identity of this woman called Iris must be extraordinary, otherwise she would not have deliberately chosen such a 'Iris' name for herself.

Iris --- owl.

Drug baron.

The fragmented clues in the dream and those bizarre scenes are gradually connected, Nan Zuisheng recalled the 'butterfly' repeatedly mentioned in the dream, only to feel that the original vague clues gradually cleared up, and the underground drug trafficking organization that was cleared and destroyed in the Northern War must be the 'butterfly' in the dream.

When it comes to the wife of the Northern War, Iris, it is really prosaic. Because Iriski has neither a noble and prominent status, nor a parent or relative, it can be said that she has nothing except herself and her husband Beizhan. Iris took this name probably to tell Beizhan something, but before she could tell her calmly, she was shot dead by the killer and died tragically at home.

When the fog hidden in front of him was gradually dispersed like a cocoon, the important clues hidden under the fog made Nan Zuisheng feel frightened: "Xiao...... Iris, Iris, what is your true identity? Why was you shot dead back then, is your real identity ...... "Something to do with butterflies?"

Thinking of this possibility, Nan Zuisheng's expression became more and more solemn. Although she wanted to tell herself that she should be overthinking, the subconscious in her mind and the clues revealed in Iris's name were cruel and ruthless reminders that --- possibility was about to become a reality.

The bizarre dreams and confusing realities gradually overlap with each other, first the bizarre collapse of the first battalion that year, and the further tracking of the transaction between Butterfly and Zhang Tu, followed by Yunluan's encounter with the Southern Expedition, and the Northern War's dispatch of force to clear the butterfly. Counting down one by one, like the gears of fate that keep turning, the fog that permeated the dream gradually dissipated, and what appeared in front of Nan Zuisheng's eyes would be more and more confusing events.

Yunluan and the Southern Expedition--- Butterfly and Zhang Tu--- Iris and the Northern War.

The warm blood condensed at this moment, Nan Zuisheng trembled slightly and put the paper in his hand back into the agarwood tray, if the butterflies were sold drugs on the surface, and secretly they were slaughtering creatures to reproduce genes to create monster machines, then is the true identity of Iris the high-level leader in the butterfly underground kingdom, or the captive prisoner who was lucky enough to survive back then?

Or rather...... Is the iris also a clone created by replicating genes from a butterfly's nest?

No, it is not possible.

The bizarre scenes in the dream are no longer revealed all the time, and the clones that were constantly created in the butterfly nest back then, and the clones that reproduce genes, are all monsters with incomplete intellectual induction. They can only rely on the chips implanted in their bodies to maintain normal human lives, and they are not so much clones as --- loyal flesh tools in the hands of the butterfly leader.

The golden peacock of miscolored gold shone brightly, and Nan Zuisheng held his forehead with one hand and thought about everything that was gradually clearing up in his mind, only to feel that under the overlap of bizarre dreams and foggy reality, the clues and events revealed became more and more confusing.

The gorgeous finches of the place are flowing with the brilliant brilliance of the blue gems, Nan Zuisheng lowered his eyes and looked at the black and white font on the paper, the word iris is like a combination lock, and the word "owl" is just a key, but this key can only uncover a layer of fog, and the rest of the fog needs to be cracked.

The gorgeous long eyelashes like the wings of a phoenix tail and butterfly gently drooped, and Nan Zuisheng drew a deep horizontal line under the word iris with a quill in his hand, and the sparkling ink eyes clearly reflected the intertwined colors of black and white: "Iris, who are you?" Do you know, because of your death, there is an indelible crack between the South Clan and the North Clan, and there is a mutual dislike between the two great families, and the bottom line is because of the case of your tragic death. ”

Recalling Bei Langsheng's deliberate approach to him, Nan Zuisheng sighed softly. As the eldest lady born in a prestigious family, her vision and knowledge are extraordinary, and she has long been clear about the deliberate approach to Beilangsheng, but for the friendship between the two people, she chose to keep silent.

Silence, silence.

What do you get when silence finally erupts?

Is it the breakdown of friendship, or the hatred between families, or ...... The grievances and grievances, love and hatred of the previous generation continue to be entangled in them, the people of the next generation.

There was a faint tiredness on the fairy jade face, and Nan Zui put down the quill with a heavy heart, picked up the silk satin skirt and put it on the red sandalwood brocade couch: "Summer evening." Her lips opened slightly, and she whispered softly to the purple-clothed maid standing on the inside of the outer hall.

"Miss." Hearing the words in the summer evening, she walked into the inner hall, she raised her eyes to look at the slightly tired beauty who was leaning on the red sandalwood brocade couch, and asked worriedly: "If you feel sleepy, why don't you help the slave to the bed to sleep for a while, and when it's time to eat, the slave and the maid are calling you." ”

Nan Zuisheng shook his head lightly, his complexion was soaked in the dazzling light in the palace, and he was indescribably graceful and luxurious: "No need, you can remove these papers and pens first." ”

The paper and quill pens scattered on the golden silk nanmu low table were neatly placed in the tray in the summer evening, and she walked out of the inner hall with the agarwood tray in her hand, and returned to the right side of the red sandalwood brocade couch in a short time. She cautiously looked at the face of the beauty on the couch, only to feel as pale as rice paper, without a trace of pale blood.

Ning Shuangxue's wrist was wearing a smooth and flawless jade bracelet, Nan Zuisheng lowered his eyes and casually fiddled with the jade bracelet on his wrist, and the warm and delicate touch of mutton fat white jade swept through his fingertips: "Summer evening, when will that strange man enter the palace to visit me?" I've been awake for so long, if it weren't for the fact that my body wasn't very convenient, I would have left the palace to find it myself. ”

"This ...... Miss, is that strange man your relative? Slave and maid, you have been restless since you woke up. The lilac gorgeous palace skirt hung on the snow-colored fox skin carpet, and the summer evening walked to the round table in the middle of the hall, bent down and poured a glass of water, and handed it to Nan Zuisheng.

The water contained in the marigold was sweet and sweet, and Nan Zuisheng lowered his eyes and sipped it elegantly, and his thick eyelashes were filled with dark shadows on his eyelids: "He is my brother." ”

"Brother?"

Xia Wan's eyes widened in disbelief when she heard this, she frowned and recalled the appearance and bearing of the strange man, the handsomeness of his appearance was no different from Nan Zuisheng, but there was no similarity between the eyebrows of the two. What's more, the man's bearing is very solemn, but Nan Zuisheng's bearing is unconventional, if these two people stand together, no one will believe that this is a brother and sister relationship.

The light gold light sprinkled on the silk satin palace skirt through the carved gilt window lattice, Nan Zuisheng put the gold marigold in his hand on the golden silk nanmu low table, hooked his lips and smiled lightly: "Yes, he is my brother, but he is not related by blood." I have been with my brother since I was a child, and over time, my affection for him is deeper than that of my own brother. ”

"So that's the case...... "There was a look of sudden realization on her beautiful face, and she tapped her jaw in a daze, only feeling that the relationship between Nan Zuisheng and the strange man was far from being as simple as 'brother and sister'.

When the sleeping beauty was sleeping in the gorgeous palace, the handsome man was almost inseparable from Nan Zuisheng's side, and Xia Wan saw the man gazing at Nan Zuisheng affectionately more than once, and the tenderness in those phoenix eyes was like a deep ocean, as if it could drown everything in the world.

If there is only such a relationship as 'brother and sister', what is the unconcealed tenderness and affection in the man's eyes? It seems that there are many lovers in this world who are willing to use the relationship between brother and sister as an excuse for deep feelings before they become dependents, but they don't know that the love between the two has long been deep-rooted, but they haven't pierced the window paper yet.

Thinking about this, Xia Wan hooked his lips and smiled lightly, the man was very compatible with Nan Zuisheng in terms of appearance and bearing, as well as his status. The most rare thing is that the man's affectionate companionship and care are all true feelings, and there is no half of pretense and impatience, which alone is really rare.

The pearl earrings were soaked in pale gold and broken light, gilding a layer of luster on Xia Wan's bent eyebrows and smiling face, she lowered her eyes and stared at Nan Zuisheng who was reclining on the red sandalwood brocade couch, and leaned down to arrange the corners of the folded skirt for the other party: "The slave maid guessed that the reason why the eldest lady's brother has not yet entered the palace to visit may be because of something delayed on the way to the messenger." But don't worry, eldest lady, I believe that after your brother hears the news, he will definitely rush into the palace without hesitation. ”

"What you said is very interesting, why do you say that it is because the person who went to deliver the message is delayed, and not because my brother is delayed?" The moon-white cherry blossom palace skirt is like a cherry blossom moonscape on a brocade couch under the finishing of the summer evening, Nan Zuisheng raised her eyes to look at the summer evening, and when she mentioned Nan Fusheng, her gaze became more and more soft.

The finely carved jade cherry blossom bonsai gradually dimmed with the shift of the daylight shift, and the summer evening stared at Nan Zuisheng's sparkling ink eyes, and his voice was as clear and agile as a drop of water: "Forgive the slave maid for being blunt, the reason why the slave maid said that is because your brother really loves you, even if he is busy with affairs now, as long as he hears any news about the eldest lady, he will immediately leave everything in his hand and rush to accompany you." ”

Selfless......

Hearing Xia Wan say this, Nan Zuisheng didn't need to ask carefully, he knew how Nan Fusheng accompanied and took care of herself during her seven days of sleep.

As a gifted child, Nan Zuisheng has been frail and sickly since she was a child, but fortunately her body does not have any intricate diseases, unfortunately although there are no major diseases, but there are minor illnesses. Recalling the care that Nan Fusheng took care of himself in the past, Nan Zuisheng suddenly felt that his eyes were sour.

Whenever she was sick and bedridden, Nan Fusheng would stay by her side every step of the way, and willingly became Nan Zuisheng's big punching bag because she was in a bad mood because of illness, working hard and complaining, beating and scolding. Of course, in addition to playing a little temper to Nan Fusheng during his illness, Nan Zuisheng never made any beating and scolding behavior.

Because of beating and scolding...... Nan Zui Sheng is reluctant!

Although he is now in the cherry blossom country, Nan Fusheng still comes thousands of miles to accompany and take care of Nan Zuisheng, and this intention alone is far better than the dazzling and brilliant Beique Zhu Palace in front of him.

"Yes, what you said is not wrong, my brother loves me the most, and I am also the most ......" At this point, Nan Zuishen suddenly paused, she didn't know what was going on, and she actually subconsciously wanted to say something like 'And I like my brother the most'.

Like......

No, she must have thought too much, her feelings for Nan Fusheng are the warmth between brothers and sisters, not the kind of love and love between lovers. Nan Zuisheng hypnotized herself like this, while frowning and pursing her cherry pink lips, but she didn't know that this reluctant little appearance had already exposed the truest thoughts in her heart.

That's --- like Nanfusheng.

The lilac palace skirt embroidered with petal magnolia flowers swayed slightly, and the summer evening stared at Nan Zuisheng's entangled complexion, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile, and he asked a little playfully: "Miss, what are you the most?" The slave didn't hear it, can you repeat it to the slave and maid? ”

Xiu's narrow and slender jade fingers half-covered and half-covered the cherry pink lips, Nan Zuisheng lowered his thick eyelashes and moved his eyes away uncomfortably, changed the topic and said, "Cough, it's nothing, why haven't the paperwork come back yet?" Isn't it lost. ”

Xia Wan shook her head helplessly when she heard this, the clerk has been in the palace for many years, how can he easily get lost? Although Miss Nanda is smart and clever, she is also very ignorant and cute sometimes.

She picked up the marigold resting on the low table of golden silk nanmu, and the brocade table runner laid on the round table at the palace was extraordinary, and the hanging bead curtain tassels passed by with the light breeze of the sleeves of the summer evening, and they collided with each other like water waves, rippling with lustrous brilliance: "Hmm...... The slave also felt that the clerk might be lost. But it doesn't matter, the slave believes that the clerk will find a way back to the palace later. ”

Just like your brother, whenever and wherever anything is about you, he will leave everything around him behind and come to see you with all his might.

Because...... He must be in love with you deeply, Miss Nanda.

Although you have not yet seen your heart.

"Hmm...... By the way, in the summer evening, my brother has ...... in the few days I have been asleep Do you have anything to do? The slender jade fingers clenched the long hair of the pouring ink feather tightly with a little uneasiness, and after hesitating for a long time, Nan Zuisheng finally mustered up the courage to ask the summer evening beside him softly.

"What does the eldest lady want to know?" Xia Wan looked at Nan Zuisheng's posture as a little daughter who couldn't hide her shyness, and couldn't help but smile with crooked eyebrows.

The beauty reclining on the rosewood brocade couch became more and more graceful and luxurious under the gorgeous palace skirt, Nan Zuisheng lowered her eyes and wrapped the ink hair on her fingertips, and her voice gradually lowered like a soft spring breeze: "I'm just curious, curious about whether my brother has been by my side for a few days of sleep, or ...... Or did you go out of the palace to deal with affairs after being with you for a while? ”

Summer Evening: ......

I saw that the beauty of the fairy and jade color could not hide her shyness, and the original pale complexion gradually became a light pink, and she shook her head helplessly when she saw the situation in the summer evening, and sighed helplessly, what Miss Nanda wanted to say just now was definitely not the last sentence! She secretly speculated in her heart about what Nan Zuisheng wanted to pronounce just now, and after thinking about it, she should have wanted to ask if the man had done something lingering and incredible, while she was asleep, right?

Thinking about this, Xia Wan nodded affirmatively, and then she lowered her eyes to look at the beauty reclining on the couch, and sorted all the things that Nan Fusheng had accompanied Nan Zuisheng in the past few days, all of which were clearly and in detail. Hearing the end, Nan Zuisheng's whole person was already in a dizzy state.

"You say...... Brother, he secretly kissed me while I was sleeping? The slender jade finger couldn't help but stay on the cherry pink lips, and Nan Zuisheng raised his eyes in disbelief to look at the summer evening, only to feel that his mind was instantly blank.
