I looked at him and said "um" softly, the word "favorite concubine" sounds like a bright and smooth road, in fact, how did these ancients know the poignant doom hidden behind the word "favorite concubine", after a while, I couldn't help asking: "When did you find out that I am not a real son?" ”

A smile crossed Zhirui's mouth, "Zixi has a very good intention, she has been with me since she was a child, and naturally she also knows about Liuxiang Music Hall, but she has never studied "Lisao", plus your strange performance, isn't it enough for me to be suspicious?" ”

I chuckled and lowered my eyes: "Zhirui, you are really smart, since you have already noticed it, and today you opened your mouth, I naturally don't want to continue to hide it from you, because I can't argue at all, but you have asked many things tonight, and I have answered truthfully, so please don't mention it in front of others, otherwise even I don't know what terrible consequences will be." ”

Zhirui's eyebrows were puzzled, "I still don't understand." ”

I said to him, "The world is so big, there are many wonders, and there are some things that I don't understand, but you have to keep quiet about this matter anyway, which is best for you, for me, and even for everyone." ”

Zhirui looked at me quietly, and after a while, he nodded slowly, frowned, and said: "Okay, I promise you, this matter, God knows that you know and I know," and smiled helplessly, "In the face of you, I will always lose," his tone gradually became like, "If others hear the news that you will be the emperor's favorite concubine in the future, they may feel happy and glorious, but I hope that you will never be." ”

A shallow smile appeared on my face and I asked, "Why?" ”

Zhirui sighed: "Where is the favorite concubine so easy to be? His expression suddenly became worried, "The battles in the harem have happened from time to time throughout the ages, and this kind of battle will keep you on the cusp of the storm at all times, and it is extremely dangerous, I don't want you to become a victim of the royal struggle in the end." ”

I was noncommittal, and lowered my eyes to see the candlelight on the shelf flickering gently, the bottom was a warm orange, and the tip of the fire shone with a faint red light, "If one day, I am really on the cusp of the storm as you said and cannot save myself, will you help me at that time?" ”

Zhirui raised his hand and flicked my forehead, "What do you think?" ”

I shook my head and said, "I don't know." ”

Zhirui whispered: "Whether you are a son or not, it is natural for me to protect you." He said this with a tone full of pampering, and I knew that this pampering was not for Mako, but for me.

I looked at his sincere eyes, speechless for a long time, my heart was sour, tears were falling again, and I stretched out my hand, "Zhirui, I'm really happy to meet you here." ”

Zhirui patted my outstretched hand, approached and pinched my face and said, "I'm also very happy." ”

I fixed my mind, looked at Zhirui, and the moment I met his eyes, my tears were out of my control, and my eyes were blurred, these days, the fears, worries, and grievances in my heart were intertwined and gushed at this moment.

"Zhirui."

My voice is very soft.

Zhirui responded, held my shoulder, gently rubbed and comforted me, and gently instructed: "After entering the palace, you must be careful of the queen, she is Lafayette's niece, of course, you must be careful of Lafayette, you are so smart, you must understand." ”

I sobbed and nodded.

After a while, there was two soft knocks on the door.

I bowed my head.

Bai Ge came into the room and said, "It's not too early. ”

I gradually calmed down and said softly to Zhirui: "It's really not early, I remember everything you said, but you can't forget what you promised me." ”

Zhirui took two steps back, his face full of reluctance, and stared at me deeply. I settled down and asked Bai Ge to send Zhirui away. Looking at his back, I couldn't help frowning and shedding two lines of tears.

After a while, my eyes felt very sore. I knew that I couldn't cry anymore, so I had to press the sadness and feelings that overflowed in my heart back to the bottom of my heart.

Tomorrow morning, I was going to enter the palace, but at the moment I didn't feel sleepy at all, I went to bed despite Bai Ge's persuasion, put on a splendid cloak and walked alone into the small courtyard.

The evening breeze was melodious, and I walked around the small courtyard, and went around from the gap to the Daoqi Pavilion where Ziyu lived, looking at the grass and trees on the road, the smell of the earth was rich and the tip of my nose was sharp, and I suddenly felt extremely nostalgic for this mansion where I had lived for six months, and I couldn't suppress my sentimentality for a while.

In modern times, I never realized that I could be such an emotional person.

As he was walking, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a sad figure standing faintly on the platform of Inagi Pavilion. I thought it was Ji Yue hiding there again, but when I got closer, I realized that the person standing there was not Ji Yue, but Ziyu.

She was praying with her hands folded and facing the bright moon, I immediately stopped, retreated to a tree, the moon was in the sky, bright and gentle, the soft moonlight set off a rare calm and peace in the blurred night, the light of the moon fell on the tree, leaking a mottled black shadow, the shadow of the branches and leaves was projected on Ziyu like embroidery, and her posture became more and more bleak and lonely.

The night sound is so pure, the light is so bleak, Ziyu's intermittent sobs can be heard sparsely in my ears, I know the heaviness of her thoughts at the moment, maybe the memories in her mind are surging like a flood, sweeping over her will, gnawing at her soul, and robbing her of her happiness...... I can only pretend that I have never waved goodbye to that good time, because only in this way can I numb myself, and people can maintain a trace of calmness and reason, so that they will not go crazy in pain.

It turns out that no matter who you are, you can't escape the shackles of fate after all, and the love that ends without a problem will eventually be buried in reality. Even if Ziyu has all kinds of feelings and intentions for that person, I am afraid that this life is already destined to be fateless, and so is Zhirui's affection for me.

I quietly looked at Ziyu's scene, and I couldn't help but feel that I really responded to the sentence "The prince and the grandson follow in the footsteps, and the green beads are tearful".

Luzhu was originally the favorite concubine of Shi Chong, a wealthy man in the Western Jin Dynasty, and it is said that she was "beautiful and glamorous, good at playing the flute". When Zhao Wanglun was in power, his subordinate Sun Xiu relied on his power to ask Shi Chong for it, but Shi Chong refused. Shi Chong was imprisoned because of this, and Lu Zhu also fell to his death. It's just that I don't want Ziyu and that person to embark on an unfortunate fate like a stone chong green pearl, in fact, many things will not be recorded in the official history, and in the end they are all silently submerged in the torrent of history, as for Ziyu, even I don't know how her feelings will develop, and where to go, I can't help but worry about her, and suddenly feel that in fact, in some cases, it is really better to forget about each other.

If Ziyu and that person really did something extraordinary in the Forbidden City, it would not only destroy themselves, but also cause a catastrophe, which would inevitably affect dozens of people in the two mansions.

Every time I think of this, my heart seems to jump out, but according to the situation in the past two days, I believe that Ziyu is not the kind of person who is easily carried away by a feeling, and at the critical moment, she can maintain her sanity, at most she sighs like Tang Wan: I want to write my heart, and I am oblique. Hard, hard, hard!

After sighing for a while, I returned to Xianting Pavilion, Bai Ge had already helped me make the bed, I lay quietly in the quilt, I didn't know what was going on, I clearly felt tired and unbearable, but I tossed and turned all night, it was difficult to sleep, and the consciousness in my mind was extremely clear until the sky was bright.
