It was night, Su Zirong tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and when she was in the middle of the night, she simply got up and wandered in the yard for a long time.

Under the peach blossom tree, the incense burner is still warm, and the residual smoke curls. There were many peach leaves on the table, Su Zirong took out her hand, gently brushed off the fallen leaves on the table, brought the lyre, and played the piano absentmindedly.

The sound of the piano wafted out in the middle of the night, and the world was lonely for a moment, and the heavens and the earth were moved......

She remembered that many years ago, the flowers were fangfang, the spring was in China, she was as delicate as a flower, and she was also sitting under the peach blossom tree playing the piano like tonight, and the warm spring breeze blew and fell the peach blossoms on one of her shoulders. He stood beside her, picked up the petals and smiled, then playfully sprinkled them on her sideburns. At that time, the years were just right, and the love was strong.

After many years, she still remembers his love for her, and also remembers their simple and pure love. What is hateful is that the mountains and seas are no more than gossip, and love is no more than intrigues and tricks. Her love affair with him was inextricably linked, and finally turned into a love-hate relationship.

Leave with one heart, and die with sorrow. （1）

The song was accompanied by the sound of the piano, revealing a faint sadness, resounding in the night sky:

"The lack of moon hangs on the dredging tree, and the leakage of the first quiet of the people. Who sees a lonely person walking alone? Ethereal and lonely shadows.

Shocked but turned back, there was hatred and no one to think. Pick up all the cold branches and refuse to perch, and the lonely sandbar is cold. “（2）

In Sitong Hospital, Bai Rushuang had already fallen asleep, and Meng Hongyu was lying beside her, but she tossed and turned, unable to sleep. When the song sounded, he listened quietly, and when he heard "I will not perch on all the cold branches", he was angry and hateful, and finally got up in a distraught mood, dressed and hated.

Bai Rushuang also woke up, and when she saw the emperor getting up in the middle of the night, she hurriedly got up and dressed him: "Why did the emperor leave in a hurry in the middle of the night?" But what's the urgency? ”

"I suddenly remembered that I still had some official documents to deal with." He didn't know why he was lying.

Looking at his back as he left in a hurry, Bai Rushuang's face turned pale with anger.

.

The next day, Bai Rushuang went to the Xihuatang early.

When I entered the Xihua Hall, I saw Su Zirong tidying up the piano case under the peach blossom tree, and Bai Rushuang was inexplicably angry, rushed forward and slapped her twice.

Su Zirong didn't realize what was happening, and stood stunned, blood slowly oozing from the corners of his mouth.

I heard a "plop" again, and Bai Rushuang swept the piano on the table to the ground, and the piano hit the stone, and there was a muffled sound. Su Zirong hurriedly ran over to pick up the piano, only to see that the strings were broken three times, and there was a small crack in the forehead of the piano. Seeing that the piano was broken, Su Zirong couldn't help but shed tears.

"In the middle of the night, what do you play? I can't sleep, and I want to disturb people's dreams! Bai Rushuang angrily rebuked her.

Su Zirong didn't say a word, and he didn't look at her squarely, just cried silently.

"Are you dumb? Didn't you sing loudly in the sky last night, and you won't be silent today? Seeing her indifferent, white as frost added fuel to the fire.

"I warn you, no matter how much you dare to play the piano and sing in the middle of the night, I will never spare you!" White as frost aggressive.

"Done with all that you have to say? So, could you please go back? I'm not going to play it again. Su Zirong said lightly.

Bai Rushuang was so angry that his face was distorted, his whole body trembled, and he had no choice but to leave angrily.

When Ziling heard the news and rushed to Xihuatang, he saw Su Zirong sitting silently under the peach tree, holding the piano tightly in his arms, and bursting into tears.

Ziling sat down opposite her: "Bai Rushuang is really too much, I will tell the emperor and let the emperor punish her." ”

Su Zirong didn't seem to be listening to Ziling's words, but just muttered to himself: "Your Majesty...... This Nine Heavens Ring was given to me by the emperor back then...... She broke it...... Isn't it indestructible? How can the piano be broken? ”

Zi Ling only felt sad when he heard it, what is indestructible in this world? The sea is dry and rotten, but the broken strings of the piano are a living reality. Dreams can be eternal, but the reality is as thin as a cicada's wings that shatter at the touch of a finger!

.

What happened in the Xihua Hall, the Queen Mother was furious when she learned about it, and Bai Rushuang was punished. Meng Hongyu didn't seem to know, and Ziling didn't dare to mention Su Zirong in front of him.

Soon after this incident, one evening, Meng Hongyu came to Baiyun Temple. Baiyun Temple is relatively remote, since Ziling moved here, Meng Hongyu rarely came, but today he came. Zi Ling knew that he might be in a bad mood, or maybe he had something to say.

Dinner is a simple vegetarian dish, three dishes and one soup, after coming to Baiyunguan, Ziling is used to eating, but he is afraid that Meng Hongyu will not be used to it, but he doesn't want him to eat absent-mindedly, and he doesn't seem to notice the simplicity of the meal.

Under the ancient banyan tree in the courtyard, they sat opposite each other and ate silently. When the sun sets, monogamy, three dishes and one soup, is it a warm scene that she has dreamed of for a long time? So, she ate slower than usual, for fear that such a beautiful picture would disappear.

He finally spoke, breaking the moment of warmth: "I have already invited the best violinist, Concubine Rong's Nine Heavens Ring, when will you help her take it to repair." Also, don't let her know that I told you to do it. ”

It turned out that he came to her for Su Zirong! Although he never mentioned it, he always remembered Su Zirong in his heart! Zi Ling's heart was a little sour, however, after thinking about it, it was better for him to miss a beautiful woman like Concubine Rong than to worry about other women!

"Why did you entrust this matter to Zi Ling? Didn't the emperor think that Ziling would be jealous? Zi Ling asked.

"Aren't you good friends with Concubine Rong? I think it's better for you to go. He didn't answer her directly, as if he thought that if they were good friends, they would share everything, including men!

Ziling could only smile bitterly in his heart, and obediently obeyed his instructions to help Su Zirong repair the piano.

After the piano was repaired and sent to Xihua Hall, Su Zirong only thanked Ziling lightly and didn't ask any more. It seems that she doesn't care about the Nine Heavens Ring anymore.

Although Ziling didn't know what had happened between her and Meng Hongyu, she knew that they still loved each other deeply, otherwise, she wouldn't be grief-stricken when the Nine Heavens Ring Pendant was broken, and he wouldn't have thought about repairing the Nine Heavens Ring Pendant for her - the Nine Heavens Ring Pendant was a token of their love!

She still has a Nine Heavens Ring by her side, but she has nothing, if one day, he also ruthlessly abandons him, how can she survive that long night of lovesickness? As soon as he thought that the matter was going to come to this, Zi Ling felt heartache.

After the Jiuxiao Huanpei was repaired, Su Zirong never touched it again, letting it be cold and dusty, and in the Xihua Hall, there was no longer the beautiful sound of the piano like flowing water.
