On the same night, the moon shuttled through the clouds, like a circle of faint white hair, not very bright.

This is the last night he guarded her, and he will mourn early tomorrow morning, and he won't go, so he has to stay with her for a little longer tonight, even though he has a thousand words in his heart, he doesn't know where to start, and finally it only turns into one sentence, "Qianfan, you wait for me." ”

In the mourning hall in the front yard, the voices of the Taoist priests chanting scriptures were high and low, wafting in the wind, he suddenly had a delusion, as if all this had nothing to do with him, obviously there was no wife and children lying in the coffin, all this was a grotesque dream, he was trapped in the dream, and when the dream woke up, his beloved wife Jiao'er would come back.

Reluctantly, sadly, he finally came out of the house, and there was a man standing not far away, a man he had almost forgotten, and he looked at her indifferently, and turned to walk down the porch.

Huangfu Zhu'er chased after two steps, "Third brother! ”

"Whoosh!" A long sword stopped in front of her, and the expressionless Ning guard's voice was colder than the blade: "No one is allowed to approach without the order of the prince." ”

"Third brother, I have something to say!" Huangfu Zhu'er shouted, but Murong Mian didn't hear it, his steps did not slow, and he walked straight forward.

Huangfu Zhu'er looked at his lonely back, and a line of tears slipped down from the corners of his eyes, "Third brother, I know it's wrong, I shouldn't be angry with her like that, third brother, you give me a chance to change......"

Murong Mian walked farther and farther in her crying shout, Ning Jiu frowned, withdrew his sword, and quickly followed.

Huangfu Zhu'er sobbed silently, her wide sleeves covered her face, her shoulders kept shaking, and suddenly, a hand gently patted her shoulder, and she looked up in surprise, "Third brother!" ”

The prince smiled helplessly, "I've disappointed you, it's me." ”

"Brother Prince," Huangfu Zhu'er turned her face slightly, wiped away her tears, and sighed, "You saw them all?" ”

"Well, I see," the prince comforted her, "the princess has just left, he is not happy, don't worry, take your time, one day, he will figure it out." ”

Huangfu Zhu'er shook her head desolately, "No, I know there won't be that day, the princess is gone, I thought the barrier between me and him was gone, but unfortunately no, this time, he locked himself up, and no one could get in." ”

The prince said, "Don't you notice that he has changed?" He has changed back to the original King of Chu, he has broken free from the love of his children, and finally knows what is more important. ”

Huangfu Zhu'er looked at the direction in which Murong Mian disappeared, "But he won't laugh, he's not happy." ”

"For a man, power and achievement are the most desirable, he helps me to win the world, I give him the honor of being under one person, above ten thousand, and everyone in the world will bow down to him, and at that time, he will understand my good intentions."

Huangfu Zhu'er shook her head, "That's not what he yearns for. ”

"You always knew that he was going in the wrong direction, which is why we had to pull him back." The prince paused for a moment, and his eyes were inquiring, "Zhu'er, in fact, the one you love more in your heart is him, right?" ”

Huangfu Zhu'er was flustered for a moment when he said the central matter, but soon became calm again, smiled bitterly, and asked him, "Brother Prince actually doesn't have me in his heart, right?" ”

For a long time, on this topic, they are always ambiguous and never say it thoroughly, because if they say it thoroughly, it is not good for each other, but tonight, the cold wind is blowing around, the stars and the moon in the sky are bleak, they stand face to face, and they seem to have a kind of pleasure of spitting out, but unfortunately, they still have some scruples in their hearts, and finally have to answer questions with questions, they are the same kind of people, and they always have a tacit understanding, as long as some things are not spread out, you can deceive yourself and whitewash the peace.

That night, many people looked up at the sky and saw the white-haired moon, estimating that tomorrow must be stormy weather.

But at dawn, a red sun jumped out of the horizon, and the wind was very strong, but there was no rain, which was the only good weather in the past few days.

Hao Pingguan clasped his hands together in front of the red eastern sky, thanking God for letting the sun shine, so that the princess and Xiao Shizi could go on the road with peace of mind.

At the appointed hour, the ceremonial music team of blowing, playing and singing went out first, followed by twenty-four flag-bearers, the white flags were waving in the wind, and they were blown to hulala, and then there was the honor guard of the prince and princess of the clan, with more than 500 people, holding all kinds of paper and brightly colored cloths, as well as gold and silver utensils, and marching out of the east gate along the long street, sixty-four people carrying the coffin followed, followed by the alternate bearers, and spontaneous civil and military officials, merchants, ordinary people, and then Taoist priests, Nuns, monks, wearing Dharma robes, holding instruments in their hands, chanting constantly. Finally, there was the uniformly colored escort, dressed in uniform silver-white armor, led by Jia Tong, with the golden word "Chu" embroidered on the high flag.

Try to be very early, but many people got up, spontaneously stood on the side of the street to send Princess Chu a ride, they are very respectful of this legendary princess, there are many small stories about her in the market, in everyone's impression, Princess Chu is amiable, kind, fair, full of a sense of justice, especially her life in Wushui Town is talked about.

——

The emperor suddenly woke up from his dream, sat up sweating profusely, Bai Guifei rubbed her eyes and sat up, climbing on him like a snake, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ”

The Emperor wiped his sweat, "Did you hear anything?" ”

Bai Guifei listened intently for a while, and shook her head in confusion, "It's nothing, what did the emperor hear?" ”

The Emperor slowly calmed down, and after a while he said, "War drums, I hear the sound of war drums." ”

Bai Guifei took the opportunity to say, "The emperor is thinking about it day and dreaming at night, what the national teacher said that day, the emperor should take it to heart, there is no second monarch in the world, and the emperor is the true son of the dragon!" ”

The Emperor pushed her away and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"Back to the emperor," Gao Shenghai replied outside the curtain, "it's three quarters of the hour." ”

When the emperor heard this, he immediately became angry, "You dog minion, why don't you wake me up at such a late hour?" Can you afford to take advantage of the mistake? ”

"The emperor is angry," Gao Shenghai replied with sincere fear, "The emperor has been working hard for days, and it is rare to rest today, so the old slave did not call up." ”

The emperor stroked his forehead, and he forgot about it today. Bai Guifei pestered him again and coquettishly at him, "Your Majesty, let's sleep with the concubine for a while." ”

The emperor pushed her away, "Don't sleep, I still have something." ”

When Gao Shenghai heard him say this, he immediately gestured outside, signaling the emperor to get up, and let them cheer up and serve.

After the emperor washed, he went to the apse for breakfast, the table was full of dishes, but he had no appetite, he randomly grabbed two chopsticks and called to stop the meal, got up and went to the warm pavilion to read, I don't know if it was because of the dream, there was always some inexplicable uneasiness in my heart.

There was incense in the house, he leaned on the soft couch, a little groggy, and fell asleep again, this sleep was very heavy, and he heard Gao Shenghai call him up for lunch, he was not hungry, he was too lazy to move, waved his hand and didn't know what he said, Gao Shenghai retreated, and the house was quiet again.

Vaguely, he heard the sound of war drums again, one by one, knocking his heart panicked, he seemed to run in the night, but he could never find the light, the drums poured in all directions, the sound became louder and louder, his feet suddenly stepped into the air, fell into the abyss, he woke up with a scream, it was too late to wipe his sweat, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, his heart beat hard, sat up straight, and heard Gao Shenghai's panicked voice, "Your Majesty, eight hundred miles of urgent military report, General Bai and the King of Chu are fighting!" ”
