At this time, Guo Nianyun, although she is the crown princess and there is no queen in the palace, she can almost be said to have become the most noble woman today, and she can be regarded as a hot figure.

But her life was trembling and treading on thin ice, more cautious than ever.

From the day Li Chun decided to launch a palace rebellion, but put her under house arrest, she vaguely felt that many things had become different.

Especially yesterday, Qixi told her that Lao Xue Gongcheng was ordered to quietly investigate Huiniang's affairs, and she only felt that a bucket of ice water was poured down head-on, and it was cold from body to heart.

Li Chun is not a person who can ignore the country for the beauty, and for so many years, she has never doubted that she occupies an important position in his heart. But she also understands that if one day he feels that she is a threat to his country, he should not be relentless.

Perhaps, Li Chun has begun to be jealous of her.

Li Chun relied on the great families and eunuchs and the Shence army in the hands of the eunuchs, and the talented scholars she recommended have now become the backbone of His Majesty's implementation of the new policy.

How could she forget that although His Majesty always "fell ill" at critical moments, he still had the heart to get rid of the evils of the times and be a wise monarch for a lifetime, facing the spleen and stomach of those poor students, and holding strong fantasies and hopes for him.

She looked at the account book in silence, sighed lightly, and when she raised her eyes, she suddenly saw Fennel standing next to her with tea.

She took the tea, "Fennel, you go down, I'll be alone and quiet." ”

Fennel hesitated for a moment, did not leave immediately, and seemed to have something to say.

She noticed, so she put down the account book: "Something? ”

Fennel bit her lip hard, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "His Royal Highness King Shu said that he wants to see Eleven Niang...... The last side. ”

The teacup in Nianyun's hand fell to the ground with a "bang", and she grabbed Fennel's shoulder in a hurry: "What, what did you just say?" What's the last side? ”

Since the first emperor ascended the throne and set up Li Yu as the crown prince, there have been ups and downs, and the call for supporting King Shu has finally gradually disappeared.

Nianyun didn't even ask where King Shu was now, and she needed to avoid suspicion at this time.

But, the last one?

Fennel looked at her, her eyes were full of sadness, she bent her knees, and knelt in front of her: "Eleven Niang and King Shu have known each other for many years, and Fennel looks at them one by one. Fennel only felt that King Shu was pitiful, so Fennel begged for King Shu today, and asked Eleven Niangnian to go and see King Shu for the sake of Fennel's many years of careful service! ”

An unspeakable melancholy surged up in Nianyun's heart. After all, it was an acquaintance, if it was really the last meeting, how could she not go?

"Change my clothes."

Fennel combed her hair, and took out a hosta with some hesitation, "Do you want to wear this one?" ”

Nianyun looked at the hairpin in her hand, crystal clear, condensed like fat, carved with fine phoenix patterns, and a wisp of emerald color at the end.

Of course she remembered the hairpin. This is when Konoha and King Shu were married, King Shu personally inserted the hosta into her cloud sideburns, saying that it was left by his mother and wanted to give it to his beloved.

She sighed, took the hairpin and put it in her sleeve: "This one, I'll take it and return it to him, it should always be given to Lan Xin." ”

A long, dark stone staircase emits a faint musty smell that cannot be circulated by the air, and it feels slightly cold and damp. Nian Yun walked in, and suddenly woke up: "This is the dungeon? Friendship is locked up in such a place? ”

Fennel was silent, carrying the lantern, and continued to lead her forward. Walking through a narrow passage where the prisoners were held, I saw that the prisoners were ragged and unkempt, and there were pieces of condensed things on their bodies that I didn't know if they were stains or bloodstains.

She always thought that Yi was restricted from freedom, and she should be under house arrest in the palace, how could Yi be in such a place?

When they reached the last level, the jailer stopped them: "Only one person can go in." ”

Nianyun nodded and held Fennel's hand: "You wait for me here." ”

If Nian Yun had seen the hut where Yihe was holding him before he walked in, he would have exclaimed that this house was too simple and shabby, and King Shu should not live in such a house even if he was imprisoned.

But after seeing the previous prisoners and the dirty and messy straw they spread on the ground as a couch, Nian Yun only felt that the house where King Shu lived was simply luxurious.

The room is very small, only at the top of the room is a small air window one foot square, which can be slightly ventilated. The room is only a square foot, and the furnishings inside are also very simple, only a low couch and an oak small table, and there is no seat. I think it's because the ground is wet, and I can't sit on the seats.

On the couch was a fairly clean mattress, a simple coarse cloth quilt, and a square, crudely fired celadon pillow without any patterns.

What is rare is that this room has walls on all sides, and there is still a little bit of private space, unlike the prisoners and livestock outside, who are locked in light-filled cages on all sides.

Li Yi stood in the hut with his hands in his hands. He was much thinner and looked thinner. His face was a little pale, and a finger-long beard grew from his lips, and he looked a little haggard.

But Li Chun apparently did not order the jailer to torture him, and although he was emaciated, he had no scars on his body. They are all ordinary cloth clothes, but they are also very clean and tidy.

At that moment, she vaguely felt that he was still the heroic King Shu back then, standing in the back garden of King Shu's mansion, looking at her with a smile.

When he saw her, his originally tired and withered eyes suddenly glowed with a bright look, like a beam of warm sun suddenly bursting out in the bitter cold, like a proud pine and cypress suddenly blooming gorgeous flowers, so colorful and gorgeous that people couldn't open their eyes.

At that moment, he released his feelings that had been suppressed for many years, and when he led the horse at the gate of the city and finally waited for her to come, his life burned enthusiastically.

"Konoha, I see you again."

She only felt sad.

"Yi, I didn't even know that you lived in such a place......"

If she had known, she would have to find a way to say anything, and no matter how bad she was, she would have to beat the jailers with some gold and silver money, so that they might treat him better.

He stepped forward and looked at her tenderly and smiled: "It's enough for you to come and see me." ”

Nian Yun sensed his ambiguous surging feelings, and took a step back: "Yi, don't say that, I ......"

Li Yi sighed lightly and didn't say anything more. There was really no place to sit in this humble space, so I had to ask her to sit on the couch.

He poured a cup of tea with her, the color of the tea was very dark, the tea leaves were very thick and old, and it was an inferior tea. If it was in the past, I guess even the rough servants and slaves of King Shu's Mansion would not have drunk it.

She took it and took a sip, the tea tasted a little bitter.

He is no longer the same person he used to be, and she is no longer the same person she used to be, sitting opposite each other in this small humble room, clearly only two feet apart, but it seems to span more than ten years, thickly entangled and intertwined, almost breathless.

Li Yi's gaze always lingered on her face, as if he wanted to make up for everything she hadn't seen for many years.

"Konoha, I remember the first time I saw you, you were only so tall."

He reached out and gestured against the wall, and she couldn't help but laugh. But no, at that time, he was still a high-spirited young general.

All of a sudden, so many years have passed. She thought about marrying him, but in the end she couldn't marry him.

She took out the hosta from her sleeve and handed it to him: "Yi, I remember you said that this is a relic of Princess Zhaojing, or return it to you, you should take it and give it to ...... Lanxin. ”

This hosta was once given to her by him when King Shu and the Twelve Niangs of the Princess Mansion were married, and later returned to him. Later, when she got married, he gave her this hosta as a wedding gift.

His throat choked. How could he explain that it was just an accident between him and Lan Xin, Lan Xin imitated her everywhere, her hair and makeup, her clothes, her gestures, so that once he really took Lan Xin as her after drinking......

When it comes to explaining, I feel hypocritical.

He reached out and grabbed the snow-white leaf that had been handed the hosta.

She hurriedly withdrew her hand: "Friendship ......"

He refused to let go, his eyes were wet, and his dark eyes were full of pleading: "Konoha, don't avoid me, allow me to be willful once, one last time, okay?" ”

She was shocked. The "last side" that Fennel said earlier cut her heart again, and she comforted him softly: "Yi, don't talk nonsense, it's okay, it's okay......"

He put his other hand on hers and said softly, "Konoha, do you know, I've been hiding for more than ten years. For more than ten years, I have been pretending that I can forget you, I have been pretending that I don't love you anymore, but I have deceived many people, even you, I have been deceived. But I can't fool myself. My heart is too small, and if I pretend to be you, I can't pretend to be the people of the world. ”

She believed that what he said at this moment was true. Her tears flowed down her face quickly, bitter and salty. In her heart, she not only pretended him, but also pretended Chun, and pretended her You'er and Wanwan.

At that moment, she suddenly became suspicious, if she didn't return to the East Palace selfishly, but followed him without hesitation and wandered the world, there was actually nothing wrong with it.

Li Yi lowered her head, and a tear fell on the back of her hand, and the hot temperature burned to her heart.

"Konoha, I have been on the battlefield since I was a child, no matter how difficult the war, no matter how painful the wound, I have not shed a single tear. Since I met you, the tears of my life have been shed for you alone. ”

She stroked his brow with her other hand, "Don't frown, Yi, don't frown, don't cry......"

"Konoha, I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future. So today I say that I want to see you again, and I will die without regrets......"

She raised her head in horror: "Yi, what do you say, don't say these words, you won't die, you said that only I can take your life......"

He took her hand and put it on his face, coveting the warmth he had stolen for a moment.

"Konoha, I also said that if you marry someone else, I will become a monk. I'm sorry that in this life, I didn't keep my promise. ”

"No, Yi, it's not your fault, it's me, it's me who disobeyed first, I ......" she seemed to be a little annoyed, choked up, "But why do you remember, why can't you not fall in love with someone else, and grow old with someone else......"

He smiled, his eyes were full of pampering and reluctance, and sighed: "Who called me, I met you in this life!" ”
