On a cold winter night, the weather is already bitterly cold, and the weather has continued to be bad in recent days, which is really cold. Lan Zeyun and the others stood at the door for a long time. The body couldn't bear it anymore, and trembled, Bai Qing frowned, the heat in his heart was all extinguished, and he asked Lan Zeyun a little restlessly: "You say, it's been so long, this person hasn't come yet, is it that Shangguan Chen doesn't want to see us at all?" Even if you don't want to see it, come out and say something, it's such a cold day, if he doesn't come again, I'm going to freeze into a piece of ice. ”

Lan Zeyun's body is much weaker than ordinary people now, and at this moment, he only feels that the cold wind is biting, his limbs are cold, and even his blood is a little coagulated.

Finally, there was a sound of footsteps, Baiqing jumped to his feet, and his eyes lit up again. The latch struck again, this time not a small crack, but half of the iron door open. The man respectfully welcomed the two of them in, and led them all the way to a warm side hall in Chengde Palace.

The room was burning with a faint fragrance of silver snow charcoal, very warm, Baiqing since he entered the side hall is not very peaceful, the two smart fox eyes glanced back and forth, looked at this for a while, reached out and touched that for a while, the mouth was amazed again and again, and he liked it tightly.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the sound of gears turning outside the house sounded, and a palace man pushed the door in, standing respectfully aside, and then a snow-white figure gradually revealed.

Shangguan Chen was wearing a silver-white heavy fur cloak, his face was bloodless, he looked very haggard, and his originally delicate and warm facial features were now full of fatigue.

Bai Qing had settled down a lot since the man came in, standing upright in front of Lan Zeyun, staring straight at Shangguan Chen.

Shangguan Chen was very puzzled when he entered the door and saw the two, but when he turned his heart and looked at it for a while, he knew that the two of them were definitely not Cao Gong's people. So he asked aloud, "You two...... But looking for me? ”

When Lan Zeyun heard this, he was nervous, and he clutched the cloak tightly with both hands and didn't know how to speak. Seeing this, Bai Qing lightly bumped Lan Zeyun, and suddenly smirked: "Oh... The Great Prince! I've heard of the name for a long time, but this person next to me was your best friend many years ago, don't you remember? It's okay if you don't remember, you're busy every day, and there's really no reason to remember these little things, and we're here to visit you this time. ”

Baiqing said enthusiastically, Shangguan Chen glanced at Lan Zeyun twice, trying to search for his memory, but in the end he still didn't have any impression, thinking that the two of them entered the palace in the middle of the night, and they didn't know where to find Cao Gong's brand, which was really incredible.

Although he thought about it in his heart, Shangguan Chen still looked kind on his face, and said with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "I really haven't seen the two, I came to visit the palace late at night, and the two... It's really no different. ”

Bai Qing smiled embarrassedly, and was a little overwhelmed for a moment, then glanced at Lan Zeyun, and scolded in his heart: I really thought you had a deep friendship with others, and now that you are here, people don't recognize you at all, it's miserable, and now you're miserable!

"I am Qing's best friend, and I am here today just for her."

Lan Zeyun said word by word, his voice trembled a little, but he said it clearly. Shangguan Chen's pupils immediately dilated, and he looked at Lan Zeyun with some mixed feelings.

Chengde Palace's slightly messy study, like a long time has not been popular, a little cold, under the bright night pearl, an ebony table is placed on the mess with several miscellaneous books of chatter, the center of the desktop is placed a Yonghua map, all around are neatly pressed with jade rulers, the peony peony that is blooming and prosperous on the top has no color, only a few budding roses on the side are delicately depicted with cinnabar

Red, at a glance, extremely piercing and delicate.

Shangguan Chen gently stroked the edge of the rice paper, looked at the person in front of him, and said with a little trembling: "You are Lan Zeyun?" ”

Hearing this, Lan Zeyun lifted the cloak lightly and knelt straight down, with a loud bang on the marble floor.

"Yes, it's me... I'm sorry for her. ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Chen gently closed his eyes, a pair of warm and aura eyes, in these years of ups and downs, they have long lost their original brilliance, two lines of clear tears flowed down the corners of their eyes, slipped to their jaws unimpeded, and then slowly condensed, falling a translucent water bead.

For a full three quarters of an hour, there was silence in the study, Shangguan Chen was looking at Lan Zeyun, how much better could she be, it seemed that her eyes had lost their brilliance, the whole person was very thin, her face was a little sunken, and her eyes were red, but she knelt upright, straight, and looked sickly. She also felt uncomfortable in her heart, and he knew everything about repairing the door. Qing'er sacrificed her life for her, but it was not her intention after all.

It is impossible to say that you don't hate Lan Zeyun, but after a year of deep thought, the hatred has long since faded away, and when I see it today, I feel a little sympathetic.

Shangguan Chen sighed and said, "Qing'er has never mentioned anyone to me, except for you, you are the first and only one, I think you should be a very important existence in her heart." ”

Every time Shangguan Chen said a word, Lan Zeyun's heart hurt even more. Every time she thought of that smiling face in the corner of her eye, she felt like she couldn't breathe. Life and death are all the suffering of the seven emotions and the burden of the six desires.

"She is also the only one in my heart, I promised her that I would be dead and see you later."

Shangguan Chen shook his head and said: "Now your life is also her life, and it should be doubly rare, if she sacrifices her life to save you, you have a life to live, but it is so bad, then Qing'er will not sacrifice in vain." I categorically do not allow it. ”

Lan Zeyun was stunned and asked, "You don't blame me?" ”

"Qing'er has never met a person who is willing to die for her except for me, if she was the one who was electrocuted that day, I think you would do the same, you and I know who to turn to? Isn't it? ”

Shangguan Chen said firmly, Lan Zeyun's heart immediately suddenly, since she was saved in the Panruo Forest, she has been in a daze, unable to accept the reality of Qing leaving, although she didn't show much on her face, but her heart has long been ruined and decadent. She is no longer the person who wants to stand up again and again when she is said to be a waste and change her life against the sky. The arrogance in my heart has long disappeared with Qing's departure. As a result, she never seriously thought about what happened. Thinking of this, Lan Zeyun's eyes finally became cold again, it all started with Meng Haoting's death. Kagome and Dong Xiaoting, one framed and framed, and the other stuck a knife in the back! If it weren't for their bad intentions, none of this would have happened!

Lan Zeyun solemnly kowtowed to Shangguan Chen, and said firmly: "Don't worry, after today, I won't be like this again, my husband has a good saying, the cycle of cause and effect in the world will have retribution." Their retribution is me! I'll find out for myself. ”

Shangguan Chen saw that Lan Zeyun didn't mean to treat her lightly, nodded with satisfaction, turned his wheelchair to Lan Zeyun, helped her up and said: "My family Qing'er has never been easy to bully, and it is absolutely impossible for my current body to go to any spiritual mountain, seek justice for her, and then live well." ”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Shangguan Qing said yes

After many things when Shangguan Qing was a child, Lan Zeyun also told some interesting things about the two of them in Lingshan and Xiumen, and when they talked about it like this, most of the haze that had accumulated in their hearts for a long time was eliminated.

Because it was late and the wind and snow were mixed and it was difficult to walk on the road, Shangguan Qing tried his best to keep Lan Zeyun and the others to rest in Chengde Palace.

On the second day, the heavy snow still did not stop, but the north wind that was howling and raging yesterday disappeared without a trace, and the snowflakes flying all over the sky fell straight down from the sky and fell on the accumulated snow.

At that time, the sky was dark and light, and the palace suddenly beat gongs and drums, and the sound of howling came and went. Within a moment, the thick and long bronze bell rang, one after another as if it were a strong call from afar.

Lan Zeyun sat firmly at the table, and she already knew in her heart that she was very familiar with this bronze bell. Suddenly, there was a loud knock at the door. Lan Zeyun groped forward to open the door, and the pickled girl heard a rapid gasp.

Bai Qing poked his head left and right, entered the door, quickly closed the door, and said to Lan Zeyun: "Let's go quickly, I'm afraid this palace is going to be in chaos!" ”

"I know, it's supposed to be a national funeral, I think it's... The lord of the southern kite has died. ”

Bai Qing nodded kindly and said, "That's right, just now I heard that the palace people in Chengde Palace were discussing this matter, and they all looked dead!" Think about it, now that your friend is weak, I'm afraid that I won't be able to escape, and we only have one way to stay here, death! And it's going to die ugly! ”

The corners of Lan Zeyun's mouth curled slightly, and he was not in a hurry at all, and sat down at the table again to drink tea.

Seeing this, Bai Qing jumped to his feet in a hurry, and he couldn't wait to pull up Lan Zeyun and run away immediately

"Hey! Pack up your things and go, don't say you want to live and die with your friends?? Don't make a fuss, good! Let's go, we should be able to slip one by one! ”

"We're going to be fine."

Lan Zeyun said calmly, Bai Qing didn't believe it at first, but looking at Lan Zeyun's confident appearance, he was inexplicably appeased. Then he also sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Are you serious?" Now the entire harem can be said to be Shangguan Shu's world, and Shangguan Chen has ignored the government for many days, and most of the ministers who support him have seen the wind and steered. He's already alone, why not? ”

Lan Zeyun put down the teacup, and his dim eyes seemed to have some brilliance: "Because of Longhua!" ”

Bai Qing asked a little puzzled: "What does this matter have to do with Longhua??" ”

Lan Zeyun didn't reply to Bai Qing's question, and instead asked, "Bai Qing, who do you think this Southern Kite Grand Prince is?" ”

"He, the world says that he is a rare benevolent man, with strategy, talent, and outstanding political achievements, praised by all the people!"

"What about Shangguan Shu?"

Bai Qing suddenly became interested, and there was already a mess outside, and there was a casual conversation in the house

"He, he's also a powerful character, his political performance is on par with Shangguan Chen, and his talent can be equal to Shangguan Chen, but he is too angry, too arbitrary, and... It always feels a little gloomy and ruthless! ”

"However, Shangguan Chen's resourcefulness has ignored the government for a year, why did the lord of the country return to the court when he was seriously ill, and he is a benevolent person, everything must be based on the people first, Shangguan Shu is too angry, he will definitely not let such a person rule Nan Kite!"
