The master and servant walked along, Mei Zhixuan nodded lightly, and recalled: "This time, the phantom of the phoenix appeared in the wooden house of Youlan Island at night, which is enough to prove that the fact that the princess is the descendant of the guardian of Western Qin is beyond doubt. This prince remembers that when he was a child, he had read in a secret book that the descendants of the guardians of Western Qin all had a mysterious phoenix divine power, and this powerful power was unmatched in the world. ”

When the guard heard this, he was also extremely excited and shocked in his heart, and then he secretly thought about it and immediately congratulated him with a face full of surprise: "Congratulations to Your Highness!" Congratulations to Your Highness! Over the years, all the effort and energy that His Highness has spent on finding this divine power has not been in vain. ”

Since Bei Lie came back, Mei Zhixuan's heart has not felt very surprised and surprised, he said leisurely: "Actually, this prince really thought that the guardian had disappeared as rumored and fell off the cliff to his death. But no matter what, I didn't expect that she would be amnesiac and didn't know who she was? I don't know where I came from. Ignorant of his past, he went to Dongning to save thousands of my people, and finally became the mother of my Dongning country so far. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly slowed down, and finally stopped and turned to look at the quiet small courtyard behind him, his deep eyes were mixed with a little sadness and loss, and said softly: "This prince didn't expect that she... It turned out to be the only bloodline left in this world after the mother-in-law that the prince had been looking for, how could it be her ......?"

The guard seemed to be aware of Mei Zhixuan's vague thoughts, and then he also stopped and leaned in the same direction, pursing his lips slightly, as if he had something to say, but he didn't know where to start?

So, the two were silent all the way.

After walking for a while, the guard finally couldn't hold back, took two steps forward to follow his footsteps, and asked as if he was extremely puzzled and worried: "Since Your Highness has such respect for the queen mother in your heart, why is the princess imprisoned in this abandoned courtyard now?" Your Highness is not afraid that the princess will misunderstand you, and thus create a barrier......"

Mei Zhixuan kept her head down and looked serious and thoughtful, and after a while, she breathed a sigh of relief and said quietly: "This prince knows that it is very wronged to lock her up, but now is not the best time to disclose her identity." ”

As he spoke, he saw that the glow in his eyes was getting colder and colder, and he paused for a moment to meditate, and said: "The power of the mother and son in the court is still very strong, and with the support of Princess Yongle and the Western Qin Kingdom, if the identity of the princess is announced now, I am afraid that the princess with weak power will be caught in the public target." And the father has never trusted this prince from beginning to end, so this prince can only rely on himself in this life. ”

Mei Zhixuan silently clenched the fist hidden in his sleeve, and said in a cold and serious voice: "Taking advantage of the fact that my father and the emperor, and even the entire Lingkong Continent, no one still knows about the lineage of the queen mother, but the descendants of the guardians of Western Qin, who have been missing for many years, and snatched it, this prince can't wait any longer, it's time to make a move." ”

The guard suddenly realized: "Your Highness is so thoughtful, and your subordinates are really impressed." ”

Mei Zhixuan took a deep breath and swore solemnly: "One day, this prince will definitely make her beautiful and give her a noble status!" ”

The guard thought while listening, but he was worried again: "However, even if we can hide it from everyone in this palace, we can't hide it from our mother!" Niangniang used to be the princess of Xiqin and our princess, and they were quite familiar with each other in the Western Qin Kingdom. ”

The more the guard seemed to think about it, the more he didn't dare to continue thinking about it, but he couldn't help but have to remind Mei Zhixuan: "I'm afraid, our courtyard is too small, if they meet each other, they will immediately recognize each other." The so-called 'reunion after a long absence is stronger', I am afraid that it will not be good at that time, the princess knows our intentions, and she will be the same as the queen mother of the year, and finally return to the Western Qin Kingdom desperately. Then wouldn't we have lost any benefits from the bamboo basket and water! ”

As soon as the words fell, Mei Zhixuan suddenly turned around and looked at the guard's eyes fixedly, and shouted at him: "Of course, we can't let her step back into the land of Western Qin, so this prince has already told her a secret matter, and I believe she will definitely make the right choice." For now, we just need to focus on speeding us up. ”

"Secrets?"

The guard said curiously.

Mei Zhixuan hooked his fingers, so the guard hurriedly took two steps forward and approached him and pasted an ear, Mei Zhixuan leaned over slightly, and the master and servant whispered next to the osmanthus tree in a corner of the courtyard in the dark night......

Ever since he was forcibly brought into the Dongning Palace from the wooden house on Phoenix Island, placed in this abandoned small courtyard that was indeed extremely secluded, and had an extremely unpleasant conversation with Mei Zhixuan, Yi Shangyun rarely spoke.

And these days, she did not show herself as a man as arranged by Mei Zhixuan in advance. The first grab

Mei Zhixuan also seemed to be quite helpless about this, and dialed two little girls, Qiao Lan and Qiao Hui, to wait closely. But even if the two sisters tried their best, they were not moved at all, and they either sat quietly at the table every day, or they could always find a place to be in a daze in the yard.

She takes a serious look at who she really is. Where did you come from and where are you going?

She thought seriously about her fate, and kept asking herself over and over again, did she just sit and wait for everything to come?

The other maids in the courtyard always looked at her secretly with strange eyes from time to time, and she knew that everyone was talking about her being either dumb or crazy because of some stimulus. However, no matter how outrageous they said, she didn't care about it in the slightest.

Mei Zhixuan still passed by her courtyard gate countless times with the guards every day, intentionally or unintentionally, and each time she looked at her from afar in the same silence, seeing that her already thin whole person was getting thinner day by day.

Sometimes, when she was in a daze in a corner of the courtyard, she would hear Qiao Lan and Qiao Hui quietly go out and come close to Mei Zhixuan's side and quietly plead: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, go in and persuade the girl!" If it continues like this, the girl's body will not be able to support it even if she is beaten with iron! ”

Mei Zhixuan was silent for a long time with her hands behind her back, and simply said with a few words: "Persuade, it's useless, when the time comes, she will naturally figure it out and accept her fate!" ”

Yi Shangyun stubbornly thought over and over again in his heart: "No, no." I'll never figure out why my past, my identity, my fate would be decided by your casual words. I can't accept that my life is just a few words from others. Can't, I can't! I hate God, why should I suffer such a life, everything is fate, accept fate! I can't accept it! Never! ”

It was late autumn, and the leaves on the trees in the yard had already begun to fall.

I saw that she often stood under the tree, quietly watching the leaves flutter down with the autumn wind when the wind blew. She just stood in the fluttering leaves, as if solidified into an eternal picture in the autumn wind.

Every fallen leaf in front of you is a dancer, and they have also experienced the four seasons of their own life. But in the end, he couldn't resist gravity, and slowly, with an infinite attachment to the wind, fell.

Qiao Lan and Qiao Hui stood silently behind her, and after watching her for a long time, they suddenly heard her speak softly for the first time: "They are all forced to be helpless, they don't want to leave the embrace of the tree and fall, but in the end, they can't escape the separation and fall away."

The fate. ”

Hearing this, the two women glanced at each other in surprise, and then Qiao Lan said softly: "Girl, you are now 'feeling tears when you feel it, and you hate other birds', and after a few days, the mystery in your heart will be solved, and you will not think like this when you are in a good mood." ”

She didn't speak, but continued to look silently at the leaves fluttering in the wind.

After waiting for a while, Qiaohui tried to ask again, "Girl, do you like leaves?" ”

I saw her reach out and catch a piece of red leaves that happened to fly in front of her at this time, and said, "Yes! I love the leaves. Even if it is a leaf from the same tree, it is different from each leaf. ”

As she spoke, she held the leaf in her palm close to her lips and blew it vigorously, looking up at its swaying and dancing in the wind.

At this moment, suddenly......
