Since then, the northern army has been reporting day by day, Xiao Xin's brows have become more and more relaxed, and the haze above the heads of the ministers in the court has gradually dissipated. Until the end of the year, when the war report of the great victory on the whole northern border came to Beijing, it was like a cloud opening, and the whole country celebrated.

At the beginning of February, King Changlin and Xiao Pingzhang finally returned to Beijing in triumph, the emperor and queen led the ministers to meet in the palace, after a ritual passed, Xiao Pingzhang held high the golden talisman, returned the golden talisman in front of everyone, the monarch and the ministers hugged each other and cried, followed by the reception banquet for the heroes.

After all the dust settled, the court in the capital returned to calm.

Concubine Changlin, who has not been pregnant for many years, is five months pregnant.

Now, although the prestige of the Changlin Mansion is greater, the cabinet ministers are no longer targeted, and when they learned the news, they congratulated the King of Changlin and Xiao Pingzhang, and there was peace in the court.

However, on this day, when the queen was asking for peace from the harem concubines, she fell without warning.

When Xiao Xin received the news, panic flashed on his usually peaceful face, and he only dropped a retreat and hurried to Zhengyang Palace.

Xiao Xin asked the imperial doctor who had diagnosed the queen's pulse: "What's going on with the queen's body?" ”

The imperial doctors glanced at each other and said, "Niangniang's pulse is normal, and there is nothing wrong with it." ”

Xiao Xin frowned: "Since there is nothing wrong, why are you sleepy and when can you wake up?" ”

The imperial doctors made eye contact, and Tang Zhiyu pondered and said: "Your Majesty, Niangniang may have been a little nervous before, but now she suddenly relaxed, and she fell into a deep sleep, and she should be able to wake up when she sleeps enough." The ministers really couldn't see that something was wrong, if Your Majesty was worried, you might as well ask the Li Lao Hall Master or Lin Hall Master of Jifeng Hall to come and take a look. ”

"Then I'll go and please." Xiao Xin looked at Xiao Jingning's sleeping face, for some reason a panic arose in his heart, sat on the edge of the bed and stroked that face, unexpectedly recalled the scenes with the queen, he closed his eyes, and said, "Invite Old Hall Master Li and Hall Master Lin together." ”

After the people took the order and left, Xiao Xin stared at the sleeping queen for a long time, and muttered, "Queen, don't leave me." ”

"Gao Qin."

Gao Qin immediately said: "The minister is here." ”

Xiao Xin said: "Go to the Changlin Palace, and let Brother Wang help invite the old pavilion master Lin." ”

"Yes."

Gao Qin took the order and left.

Not to mention the turmoil caused by the sudden fainting of the queen in the outside world, Xiao Jingning's soul went to a place that he had never seen before.

The place is very open, it is said to be a room, it is more like a long corridor, the floor is paved with simple and elegant pear blossom wood floor, the walls and ceiling are all wood panels of the same color, carved with intricate and delicate carvings, the carvings are inlaid with tiny beads, but the light shines, illuminating the place.

Looking around, there is nothing else here.

Xiao Jingning intuitively felt that she could see Xun Ruolan, and she didn't hesitate, she followed the long corridor that looked like a house to the other end, walked for about a tea time, stepped into a corner, and sure enough, she saw the person she should see. Xun Ruolan was looking at a mirror that was as high as the person, but there was nothing in the mirror, and with Xiao Jingning's eyes, there was nothing in it.

Just as Xiao Jingning was about to speak, Xun Ruolan turned to look at her and said, "Auntie is here." ”

Looking at Xun Ruolan, Xiao Jingning only felt that she seemed to be much more mature and stable, and what was occasionally revealed in those eyes was something that would only come after experiencing the vicissitudes of the world. She asked, "Ruolan, where have you been these days?" Why can't I find you? ”

Xun Ruolan pointed to the mirror with her eyes and said, "I have always been here, guarding this mirror against the world." ”

"Mirror?" Xiao Jingning walked to the mirror, looked up, and there was still nothing but the void, and asked suspiciously, "What is this?" Why should we keep? ”

Xun Ruolan said: "The mirror of the reverse world, as the name suggests, is a mirror that reverses the world." Now that the identity and body of the reversal of the universe are me, but the soul is you, aunt, and this anti-world mirror should naturally be guarded by me. ”

"Reverse the world...... Xiao Jingning's thought flashed, and said, "Ruolan, you mean, you came back from the future?" ”

"My aunt is really smart." Xun Ruolan smiled: "Just a vague explanation can deduce the truth of the matter." ”

"Since you can come back from the future, it is a rare opportunity, since you want to reverse, it is not good to think about the future." Xiao Jingning was a little puzzled, "But with this opportunity, you can take the lead, why lock me in your body?" ”

This thing is mysterious, but Xiao Jingning himself is a ghost, so what else is unacceptable? It is impossible for a lonely soul and wild ghost to run to others for no reason, and she can almost be said to occupy Xun Ruolan's body inexplicably. But Xun Ruolan didn't fight with her for control of her body, and even forced her to control this body at all. Now that there is this anti-world mirror, Xiao Jingning can confirm that it is not an accident or coincidence that she will become Xun Ruolan, but by design.

"Because I'm self-aware." Xun Ruolan smiled bitterly: "Why don't I want to teach my Yuan Shi in person, and watch him marry a wife and have children and become the king of the world?" But the point where this reverse mirror can be reversed is that it starts from King Hui of Beiyan, and I ...... can't fight Puyangying. ”

"That's why you chose me." Xiao Jingning answered slowly: "But you and I don't know each other, you were still the crown princess when I died of illness, and now I have been dead for twenty-two years." If I have successfully stood on a high place in my life, then I can understand that you choose me, but I have no children and no daughters in my life, and I die with hatred in a foreign country, I don't understand, how can you think of me? ”

"This is going to start with the mirror of the world." Xun Ruolan raised her hand and touched the mirror of the reverse world, "The only one who can change the past through the mirror of the reverse world is the ghost who does not enter the reincarnation because of too deep obsession." I was too remorseful when I died, and I stayed by Yuan Shi's side all the time, looking at ......"

was listening to the explanation, but Xun Ruolan suddenly stopped, Xiao Jingning looked at her suspiciously, but saw that Xun Ruolan seemed to be holding back something, and hurriedly asked, "Ruolan, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's fine, but you can't reveal what the future will do, and if it hasn't happened yet, you can't say it." Xun Ruolan shook her head and continued: "My obsession is hard to get rid of, and I can't enter reincarnation. Cause...... The results were not satisfactory, so they worked together to give me this opportunity to make amends, to invite the mirror of the world, to go back to the past, to make a new choice, in order to change the future that has been established. But when I combed through it, I realized that I was really ...... It's stupid, even if you start over, you still can't do anything about Puyang Ying. The Mirror gave me another choice, I could have a soul that was also unable to enter reincarnation to do this, and I would have to pay the price, and my body and identity would never belong to me from now on. There are many souls that do not enter reincarnation, and they will dissipate when they wander in this world to a certain time, and I have been looking for a long time and have not found a suitable one, and at this time I suddenly saw you, aunt. ”

"I took a closer look at your aunt's life, your birth is actually not very good, your mother is just a palace person, but because you won the favor of Emperor Wencheng, your mother became a concubine. Later, not long after your mother went, Queen Yan didn't care about a princess, so she didn't care about upbringing, but you had a discerning eye for people, and picked the Empress Dowager Jing, who was only the second concubine at the time, and went to Zhiluo Courtyard many times, and finally got the Empress Dowager Jing's quiet words and deeds. My aunt has always been favored by the suspicious and ungrateful Emperor Wencheng, which is inseparable from the upbringing of the Empress Dowager Jing. Even if you had an awkward quarrel later because of your relatives, Emperor Wencheng has always reassured you. And the Empress Dowager Jing and her father also thought of you before their deaths. ”。

"When I was with Nan Chu, my aunt's situation was not good, and she was cut off by King Chun as soon as she came, but the final result was that King Chun fell in love with your aunt, and he used his life to make up for this wrong thing but still didn't get a response from his aunt. My aunt can actually still have children, and although the cold palace is difficult to solve, it is not difficult for my aunt, but you don't want to solve it. So my aunt is actually very successful. ”
