So he continued: "Maybe I usually pretend to be playful, it's so deeply rooted that every time I sneak away to practice there, no one will notice. In this way, I acted as a sign of weakness, and the queen mother tolerated me and my mother until my father was critically ill.

It can no longer be tolerated. There is only one throne, and my presence makes her feel uneasy, even if I am only a weak person who has no power to fight back. ”

The man paced, walked to the table, looked at the rain on the roof tiles, and continued: "My mother tried her best to send me out of the palace. But where can I go? In a few moments, their pursuers caught up with me.

Trapped me in this study. When my father died, he saw the ambition of the queen mother, so he handed over the map of the lifeblood of the royal family to my mother. They forced my mother to hand over the map. When my mother refused, she imprisoned her and me in this courtyard, and sent people to whip her every day. ”

Speaking of this, the man's eyes turned red, and his hands were unconsciously pinched. "It was also such a rainy night, my mother stood in front of the window through the locked door, smiled and said to me, take good care of yourself in the future, and then warmed up with me for another night The book she taught me to read, turned around and left.

The next day, they found that the concubine had died in the dormitory. I was shocked and scared. But I can't do anything, the prince said, the practice he taught me can't appear in front of people, and I can only live by showing weakness. So I could only cry bitterly as they dragged away the body of the concubine. I never saw her again. ”

Iris listened to his story and couldn't help but pinch his heart. "I was afraid that they would harm me, so I didn't even dare to eat. Picking a light rainy day, Chu Xian brought me a bowl of white fungus soup that she said she had secretly brought, and in front of me, she drank a few sips by herself.

Asked me if my mother gave me the picture when she left. If so, speak up, and she will intercede for me. Chu Xian is my sister who grew up with me, no matter how arrogant she is, she is also my sister. ”

The man fell on the table, choked up. Iris stepped forward, put his hand on his shoulder and patted him lightly, "You mean, that soup is poisonous?" ”

The man sighed and said, "If someone lifts the roof tiles, as long as they make a gesture, the poison will fall down into my bowl."

"But why do you have a wisp of spirit left here? Your cultivation is not enough for you to be able to separate your own spirit. Iris asked, puzzled.

The man chuckled: "After I was poisoned, the queen didn't get the map, and she was unwilling to ice my corpse." When she stabilized the imperial power, she became the queen mother, and her brother became the king. Only then did he think about the map again, so he sent someone to find the artifact Soul Gathering Ding, and cast a spell for me to resurrect me. ”

"And you're now?" Iris asked.

"The art of resurrection is something that mortals like them can master, but the Soul Gathering Ding is an artifact after all, and it really summoned my spirit. However, I was too weak to show my body at first, so they thought they had failed, so they had people cast a spell and enchantment on the palace, and locked it and stopped opening it.

Because of this enchantment, I was able not to be disturbed by things from the outside, and I practiced slowly according to the heart that the prince had taught me before. I can gradually manifest myself. It's just..."

"Huh?" Iris looked at him.

Then the man said, "It's just that I can't go out." ”

"Is there an enchantment here? Why can I come in?" Iris asked. The man smiled softly and shook his palm and said, "You said that you are an iris transformed into a human form, then you must have been contaminated with my blood before my death, just like it." After speaking, he shook his hand in front of the door.

Iris followed his finger and saw the black cat lying lazily in the window. And the pillow next to his head was the hibiscus silver hairpin. Seeing that the time and place he said were matched with his own memory, Iris didn't know what to do for a while, and asked, "Then what is your name?" ”

"Jiule." The man looked at Yueqi's eyes and said solemnly.

"I...," Iris, for some reason, suddenly became nervous. The rain outside the house was weakening. Jiule looked at her and hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's just that I haven't talked to anyone for too long, and we are old acquaintances, and you entered the palace because of me." I don't want to get you in trouble. ”

"Do you need me to help you?" Iris asked.

Jiule looked at her slightly puffed cheeks, but she was stupidly cute. So he nodded. Iris asked, "What do you need me to do?" ”

Jiule got up and walked to the black cat, gently touched the black cat's belly, and then pinched the silver hairpin in his hand, turned to look at Iris, held her shoulder with one hand, and pinned the hairpin back to Iris's head with the other hand.

He muttered, "My mother, from a place outside the world of immortals. Her real body is a hibiscus flower with white petals and red stamens. When her father saw her for the first time, he ordered this hairpin to be made and given to her. But she was reluctant to take it. Now that I have a fate with you, you can take it with you.

I don't need your help, so if you have time, come and see me and tell me what's going on outside. Jiule's face was still pale, but his eyes were a little brighter, yes, those bright eyes.

Iris finally remembered that every time she looked up, the crystal light she saw was the young man's starry eyes. Iris's mind was in a state of turmoil, and she had too much to digest that night.

"I... Go back first. Too late. Iris said timidly.

Jiule looked at the sky, nodded and said, "Okay." This time, the rain will be a little lighter. I can't send you too far, just go to the door. ”

Iris nodded, then turned around and walked outside the house, while Jiule followed her silently, and the two did not say much. It was only when he arrived at the palace gate that Iris said again: "I'll go back." ”

"Why don't you let it give it to you?" Jiule pointed to the black cat beside him and said with a smile. Iris nodded, did not refuse, then gently pushed open the palace door and looked around, then waved his hand behind him and turned away.

The black cat walked on the wall, following her all the way until she returned to the courtyard, and then returned without a trace.

"Master, it seems to have been found." In the dark night, the two of them held an umbrella and whispered.

Iris went back to the courtyard, and because of the torrential rain, Coral and the other minions fell asleep, and did not notice that she had gone out. Iris, replacing the soaked shoes and socks. Then he sat in front of the dresser, sat quietly, took off the hibiscus silver hairpin on his head, put it in the palm of his hand and stroked it carefully.

Although she was ignorant and recognized the wrong person, fortunately, she really met the person she had been looking for for a long time and recognized each other.

Listening to his tone, it was as if he had known himself for a long time. It's just that now that he has entered the palace, he feels that the king doesn't care about him, and it is only because of the status of the princess and the prince that he agrees to accept her as a concubine. And listening to Jiule say that in his story, the Queen Mother is not a good person.

How can this be good... If the moon was there, I wouldn't be so helpless...
