A Dream to Live, a Dream to Die (2)

She no longer seems to be depressed or self-indulgent.

But he couldn't sleep at night, because of the hatred and past that tormented him over and over again.

He hated himself for not being able to avenge his people.

When he shoots an arrow, he begins to lose his hand,

Through the wall, he was talking and laughing with her, and suddenly a mouthful of blood gushed up, and she called him several times, but he couldn't answer because of the pain in his internal organs.

She just thought he was gone.

So he got up and left the courtyard.

The poison burned in his body like a pure fire.

An old man in ragged clothes suddenly appeared, grabbed his hand, and gave him a pulse.

forcibly took him as a disciple, threw him into the ice room, and asked him to sit for seven days and seven nights to detoxify.

He was dying, and he couldn't remember anything.

The old man said,

"Do you have anyone in mind?"

His smile flashed in front of him, but he was powerless to answer.

The old man said,

"If you can't make it through, think about that person."

Those seven days and seven nights were like a burning fire, and he was extremely tormented every moment. Thinking of her with the only remaining consciousness, he felt that he could hold on for a while, and after seven days and seven nights, he finally got through it.

When he came out, the first thing he wanted to do was to see her.

But he saw her get into the carriage and go in the direction of the palace.

On that day, it was a palace feast.

He never attended any feasts.

But he wanted to see her, and he wanted to go crazy.

He saw her at the feast, in the midst of all the people.

She is dressed in green clothes, and her eyebrows have lost her former flamboyance and brightness.

But it is demure and abnormal, no different from those young ladies of the family.

Queen Dou smiled and praised her for the IKEA.

He looked at her.

She was complimented, but she didn't smile.

She seemed to inadvertently look in his direction.

The two looked at each other.

She looked away in a panic.

When the feast dispersed, he wanted to go up and say a few words to her, but she hurried away, leaving only a sword spike in place.

He picked it up.

That night, on the fifteenth day of August, he stood outside the wall.

But I heard her choke up inside the wall,

"My palace chief swears to the moon, I will neither look at him, nor will I be tempted by him again, I am notorious in this life, and I dare not stain him, but anyone who looks at him is a defilement of him. This oath will never be violated. ”

She wept all night under the moon, and he stood outside the wall all night with the spike of the sword.

Guan Wuwang approached him and said that he wanted to cooperate with him.

He agreed.

Guan Wu forgot that he had the evidence of the Meng family's guilt in his hands, but he let him endure it for the time being. It should be used as a strong proof to bring down King Chen.

But those incriminating evidences were originally collected by him for her, and the Meng family was responsible for her, so he had to overturn the Meng family for her.

But the overall situation is important, and he chooses to hold back.

But behind his back, he made the Meng family fall several times.

He thought that he couldn't delay it any longer, so he immediately went to the palace family to propose.

But if his calculations involve her, the Gong family and her will be in danger.

But he didn't expect that his retreat, the concession he made for her, was completely useless.

Because the palace family collapsed overnight, the family was imprisoned.

He went out to lobby because of Xiqing's attack, and when he came back, the city was full of wind and rain talking about the palace family, and he rushed to the court on horseback, but only blood was left all over the ground.

When he found her, she was already dead and killed herself on a high cliff.

She left a blank saying goodbye in the afterlife and fell backwards.

He reached for it, but he caught nothing, and then he jumped down the cliff with her.

He regarded her as a god, a non-second minister, and wrote his life and death contract at the cost of crushing his soul.

He missed out on her after all.

Gong Changjue woke up with his eyes suddenly.

The screen window is faintly lit, and the candlelight in the house is extinguished.

The green jade pendant pressed on the curtain swayed. The long spikes of the jade pendant sway from side to side, sparse and falling.

Gong Changjue touched his forehead, full of cold sweat.

She got up and opened the door, and the sky changed from dark blue to light blue, light blue to a line of white, and then a yellow halo.

The morning breeze was slightly cool, and the nightingale stood in the courtyard to wipe his sword, and when he saw the palace chief coming out, he said,

"Since Miss Gong has woken up, let's go find Ren senior."

Gong Changjue wondered,

"Ren old-timer?"

She suddenly thought of the scene in her dream, the old man in loose clothes, who seemed to be the senior she saw last night.

The palace chief said,

"Is it the senior from last night?"

"Is he a mystery?"

Nightingale nodded.

She drew her sword out of its sheath, her voice straight, without a hint of emotion,

"Above the high pavilion is where the old man is."

The palace chief said,

"Thank you."

The palace chief looked at the high pavilion, and a line of birds flew by in a line.

Gong Changjue pushed open the courtyard door, it was a bamboo forest, the cool morning breeze passed through the bamboo forest, blowing the face of Gong Changjue, and she woke up.

Everything in the dream is like a marquee.

She didn't know if it was true or not, and now she desperately wanted to ask why.

She slowly walked through the bamboo forest and ascended to the high pavilion, but saw Chu Ranxuan sitting on the high pavilion, while Ren Xuanji was sitting aside, and there were porridge and steamed buns on the table in the high pavilion. Hot tea curls.

Gong Changjue subconsciously wanted to retreat,

But let the mystery be said,

"It's all here, why bother."

Gong Changjue stopped and looked at Gao Ge.

Chu Ranxuan looked at her, his eyes were indifferent, he couldn't see his emotions, he couldn't see his intimacy, he floated like a cloud, and he couldn't grasp it like the wind.

It was familiar to her, his usual look.

Palace Chief Jue took a deep breath, slowly walked up to the high pavilion, and sat opposite Chu Ranxuan.

Ren Xuanji didn't speak, just drank porridge.

Gong Changjue looked at the porridge bowl in front of him and remained motionless.

Above the pavilion, there is only silence.

Everything in the dream lingered in her head.

Gong Changjue's ten fingers clenched slightly, there was no expression on his face, and his voice was silent, saying,

"When did you first see me?"

Next to the high pavilion, birds chirp in the treetops, fluttering away from the branches, and the bauhinia flowers on the branches scatter and fall leisurely.

Chu Ranxuan said lightly,

"Six years ago, the day the Chu family was wiped out."

Gong Changjue only felt that a big stone was pressed down in his heart.

She wanted to ask something more, but the corners of her mouth were bitter.

After a long time, she said,

"Have you ever seen me shoot an arrow on horseback?"

"Yes."

"Where do I like to ride a horse?"

"On the outskirts of the city."

"What's my favorite color to wear in the past?"

"Red."

"Qinglinkou, white blacksmith, raw red furnace, burning black charcoal, sitting south and facing north to play things and things, for the upper link, the lower link is Qingyunbian, white clothes, hanging red tassels, saving silver guns, thinking about the front and back. But what's wrong? ”

She uttered every word with great difficulty, word by word, and it seemed that with each word, the boulder in her heart shattered an extra corner.

He looked up at her, his eyes calm,

"The number of words is neat, but the front and back are not the same category as Qiankun, the degree of generalization is different, but the artistic conception is outstanding, and it can be regarded as an upper-middle level."

His tone was flat, but her heart kept sinking.

That dream is real.

Everything in it was true, he knew where she was riding and archery, he knew that she loved to wear red, and even the answer to the poem was exactly the same.

Ren Xuanji drank the porridge, picked up the handkerchief that Chu Ranyu put on the table at random to wipe his mouth, and threw it on the table.

Ren Xuanji looked at Chu Ranji,

"Boy, wait for me below."

Chu Ranxuan got up and left, Palace Chief Jue didn't dare to glance in his direction, everything in the dream was still vivid.

Gong Changjue lowered his head,

"Senior, in my dream last night"

Before she could finish speaking, Ren Xuanji said,

"It's all true."

Ren Xuanji reclined and sat on the edge of the railing, looking at the rising sun.

"In his previous life, he chose to distance himself from you because he wanted to protect you and prevent you and the Gong family from being involved in his dangerous plans, just as you are now afraid that he will fall into the abyss again because of you."

Ren Xuanji said lightly,

"Why bother."

"The world is reincarnated, and it is the right way to have fun in time, so why bother to find so many troubles for yourself."

"In your life, you have probably died once, and the reaction is inevitably too radical."

Gong Changjue said slowly,

"It's because I've died once, I'm scared to death."

"It's just that I didn't think that there was such a deep bond between us."

Palace Chief Jue's gaze fell on His Excellency Gao's pavilion, and Chu Ranxuan walked in the corridor with his back hand.

She withdrew her gaze, but suddenly smiled bitterly,

"Do you know what I've seen?"

Ren Xuanji looked at the slowly rising burning sun.

The palace chief said,

"It turns out that all this is like a dream, what I once thought I had, what I once avoided, was actually a misunderstanding, he was there when I was most devastated, but I couldn't see most of it."

Ren Xuanjidao,

"One dream is born, one dream is dead, the old man can't see your dream, he can only do this."

The palace chief said,

"Thank you, senior."

Her eyes were silent,

"It's just that it's not right to stay here for now."

"Seniors, how can you get out of the dark pavilion?"

The formation all over the ground, every flower and stone is a formation, and when she came, she walked around and around before she walked to the high pavilion. Many illusions are abundant.

Ren Xuanji shook his head,

"It's because of this formation that others can't find it here, so you can be foolproof."

Ren Xuanji looked at Gong Changjue, and seemed to be able to see through her heart,

"Girl, what you did by jumping off the cliff, others can not see clearly, but the old man can still see it clearly, since you want to use it as a bargaining chip to turn the tables, you can't appear in front of people during this time, this is your best hiding place."

Gong Changjue looked at the clouds and mist scattered in the sky,

"I really can't hide anything from my predecessors."

Even if she hated the metaphor of the urn, she would not act so riskily to harm the metaphor.

She really wants to use it as a bargaining chip to plot something else.

Ren Xuanjidao,

"Girl, if you don't eat it again, this porridge will be cold."

Gong Changjue picked up the spoon, but his heart was confused.

Holding a spoon in the porridge, he unconsciously stirred it lightly.

Ren Xuanjidao,

"You girl, don't eat if you can't eat it. The old man was annoyed to death. ”

The palace chief said,

"I still have some things I want to ask my seniors."

She looked at the rising sun in the sky,

"Now Xiqing has attacked the Great Zhou?"

Ren Xuanjidao,

"I don't know, your calculations, the old man doesn't understand, you should go and ask that kid."

Gong Changjue looked at the pavilion, only to see a silhouette of Chu Ran, Gong Changjue retracted his gaze, lowered his head and said,

"I just didn't dare to ask him, so I came to ask my seniors."

Ren Xuanjidao,

"If you want to know, ask him, the old man doesn't want to care about your rights and wrongs."

Ren Xuanji carried the oiled paper wrapped in steamed buns and wrapped them in the high pavilion, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Gong Changjue watched Ren Xuanji disappear in an instant, probably into the formation.

She recalled all kinds of dreams for no reason, and it seemed that a long half of her life had passed. It's just that the protagonist is not her, but him.

The palace chief got out of the high pavilion and walked around for a long time, and even saw a few rabbits by the grass, but he didn't see them when he came.

A snow-white rabbit ran to the feet of Gong Changjue and stopped her way.

She leaned over and picked up the rabbit, but the rabbit obediently leaned into her arms without the slightest resistance.

The rabbit lay lazily on her arms, drooping with two long ears, with no intention of coming down.

Gong Changjue hugged the rabbit and went in the direction of the Lake Center Pavilion.

She walked through the corridors, although it was the middle of summer, the water between the corridors was curved, and the water was sparkling on the walls, but it made people feel cool and bone-chilling.

Perhaps the corridor was too winding, perhaps because there was a maze in it, she went around for a long time before she came out and saw the Pavilion in the middle of the lake.

And in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, there was a person standing with his back to her, one hand behind his back, as if he was looking at something.

The pavilion and cloister in the center of the lake are built extremely high, and in the afterglow of the palace chief, a man in black clothes can be seen carrying a boat under the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

The juvenile pavilion on the pavilion went into the water, and when Xiao Yi returned, he was silent and white.

His back, just like in a dream.

Gong Changjue stood on the bridge leading to the Huxin Pavilion, the rabbit suddenly jumped down and ran towards the Huxin Pavilion, Gong Changjue hurriedly followed, and the rabbit ran to the potted plant next to Chu Ranxuan.

Chu Ranxuan turned around and saw the palace chief.

Gong Changjue squatted down, and the rabbit jumped onto Gong Changjue's arm, biting a leaf of a plant.

Chu Ranxuan looked at the palace chief,

"You like rabbits?"

Gong Changjue touched the rabbit, heard a question, and suddenly reacted, and the action of touching the rabbit became stiff for a moment.

Gong Changjue hugged the rabbit and slowly stood up,

"I just saw it in the grass, and it jumped next to me, probably because of fate."

Chu Ran said,

"If you like it, take it back to the Night Garden."

The Night Garden is where she lives now.

Gong Changjue didn't look up at him, but the movements of his hands were slow, and the rabbits were gnawing on the leaves from the potted plants in the pavilion one by one, and the faint sound of teeth devouring could be heard.

The palace chief said,

"Has Xiqing ever attacked the border?"

Chu Ranxuan said lightly,

"It has entered from the uninhabited land of Yinzhou and captured three small towns in one night."

Gong Changjue didn't dare to look at him, but said,

"Did the matter of Xiqing's merger with the Four Kingdoms ever spread to Chang'an?"

Chu Ran said,

"The word has spread."

Gong Changjue can only talk about plans and strategies like Tongguan Wuforget, so that he can calm down a little.

But she didn't forget it in front of her.

The palace chief stroked the rabbit's back one by one, and his jade fingers slid over the snow-white fur.

"Emperor Yuan... Who are you going to send? ”

Chu Ran said,

"It should be Yao Yuan, a former subordinate of the Gong family, Xiqing is menacing, Yao Yuan is temporarily acting as a captain, and he should go on the expedition."

The palace chief said,

"Although Yao Yuan is good at fighting, he is only good at single-handedly, leading troops into battle, and he is afraid of making mistakes."

Chu Ran said,

"Isn't that what we want?"

Gong Changjue suddenly felt speechless, as if she had nothing to say except these.

Gong Changjue nodded,

"Then I... Went first. ”

She wanted to turn around,

But he said lightly,

"Stop."

She looked at him, his eyes were calm and indifferent,

"What are you jumping off the cliff for?"
