In the evening, after Li Chun finished reading a few books and dealt with a few trivial matters, he planned to stay in Chongwen Palace, but somehow, he habitually went to Yiqiu Palace.

There was no light in the yard, and there was no sound, so she must have slept, right?

Li Chun's hand caressed the heavy wooden door, holding the smooth copper ring held in the mouth of the pepper beast on the door, and hesitated for a long time before knocking lightly twice.

"Who?"

Qing Qing Lingling's voice sounded, it was Nian Yun, but it was in the courtyard, very close to him, so close that it seemed that there was only a wooden door.

It turned out that she didn't sleep, she was in the yard.

Seeing the willows on the moon, seeing the starry sky, and seeing the drip has been three watches.

The five-day agreement is about to arrive, Yi is waiting for her answer, how can she sleep!

"It's me."

Nianyun walked over and opened the door, she was wearing a plain white middle coat, wrapped in a water-red shirt, her long brocade-like hair was draped behind her head, she was not powdered, and her face was pale, like a wisp of ghost. He didn't rush in, the two of them looked at each other like this, and the night was as cold as water.

Li Chun held her thin shoulder, "You haven't rested yet?" ”

Nian Yun nodded slightly.

"It's late."

"Hmm."

Li Chun grabbed her shoulder, walked in, and saw a wooden couch in the courtyard with a blanket, thinking that Nianyun was lying here just now.

Li Chun sat down on the couch, looked at the starry sky, and was about to speak, but Nianyun opened his mouth first: "Chun, I have something to say to you." ”

Li Chun's heart skipped a beat, and his intuition told him that it was not a good thing.

Nian Yun put his hand on his shoulder, "Chun, if I'm tired of the battle in the East Palace, and tired of maneuvering around this group of women, are you willing to give up your identity as the king of the county and take me away?" ”

Li Chun had a calm face: "If you don't like Lilac and Hui Niang, I'll put someone else in a house with them, so that they don't appear in front of you, okay?" ”

Nian Yun lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "You can't even send away the concubines of His Royal Highness the Prince, after all, there are many trivial matters to worry about." ”

Li Chun grabbed her wrist: "If you don't want to take care of the inner house, you can also return it to your mother." But you have been managing it very well these days, why are you saying these things today? ”

Nian Yun gently broke free from him, but asked, "Chun, the biggest threat to the East Palace is King Shu, isn't it?" ”

Li Chun hesitated and nodded.

Nian Yun said: "In this case, if I have a way to ask King Shu to give up the jade of the Li Tang royal family, can you let me go?" ”

"You ......" Li Chun was shocked and stopped in front of her: "What are you going to do?" ”

He was a head taller than her, and her tall figure enveloped her, and she could feel the heavy aura emanating from him.

"Chun, there is no bloodless battle for storage in any era. If King Shu disappears from now on, it will be a good thing for the East Palace, and even for the people of the entire Chang'an......"

"It's not good for me!" Li Chun said angrily: "Tell me to exchange my own woman for it, don't say that my father's throne is stable, even if I give me the throne, it will not be honorable!" ”

Nianyun sighed lightly and walked into the house.

Li Chun pulled her back suddenly, and in the moonlight, he suddenly saw her two lines of crystal tears.

Li Chun suddenly felt distressed again, obviously he robbed her from Li Yi, maybe her heart never belonged to him.

After all, he relented, let go of his hand, and said behind him: "It's not as good as at home outside, if you lose your royal status, you will inevitably eat and sleep in the open, and bring more belongings......"

Seeing her enter the house, she felt that she had not finished many words, so she followed in again: "The saint rewarded me with a white fox fur in the winter of last year, you can take it with you, you can't buy such a pure and thick ...... outside."

"You have always liked to add dogwood to your diet, don't add too much, Doctor Liang will hurt your stomach if you say too much; You always eat chilled mulberries in the summer, so you should be careful in the future......"

He was suddenly surprised that he knew such a detail of her life, and she had only been in the East Palace for a few months, but it had seeped into his bones like a drop of oil.

She was silent, but her tears kept flowing, and she walked around the house to clean up for a while, and finally went to rest on the Luohan bed outside.

Li Chun's heart was full of reluctance, and rubbed beside her: "You sleep on the big couch inside, I'll ...... I'm only talking to you on the edge of the couch. ”

Nianyun didn't refute, so he came in with the quilt and lay on the inside of the couch against the wall.

Li Chun slept outside and kept talking, and he didn't care whether Nian Yun was or not, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

As soon as he opened his eyes, the sky was already bright, and when he looked sideways, Nianyun was no longer around, he jumped up, rushed to the door, saw the pothos outside, and asked, "Where is Madame?" ”

Pothos replied respectfully: "Madame went out with fennel early in the morning. ”

Yes, Fennel is the one who has been serving her, and she naturally won't take anyone else.

Did she arrive at King Shu's Mansion at this time? Maybe...... In this life and this life, he has nothing to do with him Li Chun.

He propped his hand on the door frame, sighed dejectedly, and suddenly felt that his face was cold, and when he touched it with his hand, he was actually crying.

Woman, no big deal! He cursed inwardly, took a deep breath, and turned around. There were traces of her everywhere in the room, and the brocade quilt was neatly laid on the couch, as if the mistress of the room had just gotten up to pour a cup of tea.

He saw a long hair on her pillow. He ruffled the hair and looked at the candlelight.

He remembered her long black hair, which was plainly pulled into a bun, and swayed with each step, piled up into a dark cloud. In the evenings and mornings, when he was dressing, the brocade was scattered and always tugged at his heartstrings.

He leaned down and continued his search on the couch, but found nothing. He untied the purse from his waist and solemnly put the hair in the purse.

The thought that she would never come back gave him a hard slap in the chest.

Today is a rest, so you don't have to go to the court. He lay down on the couch where she had just been lying and closed his eyes. There was still her breath here, and he hugged the brocade quilt, pretending that she hadn't left yet.

The red candle on the table burned out, and a short wick remained, lying in the candlestick, full of red tears.

He lay in a trance, unwilling to open his eyes.

It is said that Nianyun got up early in the morning, took fennel and went to the spice shop, and entered the Shuwang Mansion through the secret passage.

It was still early, Nianyun went to the small courtyard, pushed the door in, and saw King Shu sitting alone in the house, with a depressed expression. A broken lamp on the table was like a bean, still flickering.

Nianyun walked and blew out the lamp and candle, and the light was not dim, so Li Yi said softly: "It turns out that the sky is already bright." ”

He sat there for about the night.

Nianyun sighed: "You obviously haven't recovered from your illness yet, and you don't know how to take care of yourself." ”

He raised his head: "I'm afraid you won't come to see me......"

Nian Yun put the dim sum he bought for him outside early in the morning on the table: "I'm coming to see you." ”

Li Yi smiled bitterly: "Just to see me?" ”

Nian Yun was silent.

"Nianyun, would you like to come with me? Since then, he has been flying away, far away from Chang'an City, for the rest of his life, and never coming back. ”

"I ......"

Li Yi looked at her with a gloomy look in his eyes. Maybe Nian Yun didn't know it yet, but he already understood that in her heart, she had a concern for the East Palace that she had lived in for months.

Without pothos and fennel, without the third brother, without a father and mother, without an aunt, she would face everything alone with this man. Faced with the unknown road ahead, she felt scared.

In the past six months, she has spent much more time with Li Chun than with Youyi. She didn't want to admit that in her heart, she might have a place for Chun.

Li Yi let out a long sigh, stood up, and walked to the back garden.

In the lotus pond in the back garden of King Shu's mansion, the lotus leaves are in the field, and the red lotus blooms like fate.

By the lotus pond, there is a carriage parked, and the four big green horses pulling the cart have been untied and tied to the willow tree by the pond to rest, and some cages are tied to the back of the cart.

Li Yi walked over and began to untie the ropes. Nian Yun looked at him blankly for a while, and suddenly realized, "What are you doing?" ”

Li Yi looked at her and smiled, his smile full of desolation. He hugged her affectionately and kissed her hair, "This is the carriage and horse I have prepared to take you away." But if you can't go, then we won't go. ”

If she jumped into his carriage with joy and wanted to follow him to the ends of the earth, he would not hesitate to take her away and give her pleasure. But she is clearly deeply saddened, maybe this day, she is really going to leave him.

Nianyun walked over and hugged him from behind. His hands were also cold, and the four hands were covered together, and there was no temperature at all.

He took out two pieces of paper from his bosom, sighed, walked to a lamp next to the lotus pond, picked up the lampshade, put the two pieces of paper on the lamp, and burned it. Nianyun glimpsed the words "If you don't practice the reason, see the place" on the paper, stamped with the cinnabar seal of the government.

This is the "public test" he prepared for the convenience of the two of them. It was used to leave Chang'an City and pass through many places to verify identity.

I don't know what kind of identity he made up for them.

He burned two "notarizations".

Li Yi walked under the willow tree, led the horses pulling the cart, put them on the cart one by one, put her small package on the cart, took her hand, helped her into the carriage, and the corner of her mouth was as warm as jade, gentle as every companion.

"I'll send you back."

He hung the emblem of King Shu on the carriage and drove out himself. The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and they crossed the wide street in the morning sun, unscrupulously, breaking through the dawn of the morning, and headed for the East Palace.

In the car sat the woman of his life, and now he was going to send her back, where she and another man were home. He knew better than ever that he had truly lost her from now on.

Last time, he watched others escort her to get married. And this time, he personally escorted her back to a home that did not belong to him. He was driving, and she was sitting in the car, through a thin curtain, as if the whole world was separating her.

He remembered the sentences in the Book of Songs and hummed softly.

There are vines and grasses in the wild, and there is no dew.

There is a beautiful person, as graceful as Qingyang.

Along the way, he didn't speak, and neither did she.
