Chapter 19: No Return to the Showdown Ghost Night Walk

Rulan suddenly said, "It's strange to know what happened to Fang Cai, the princes and their families in the palace, the palace concubines, the dancing musicians, there are a lot of people, we sit inconspicuously, why did that person just see your sister, and make it difficult." ”

I didn't care much, "The palace has always been a place of right and wrong, and it's not surprising that it's too charming, don't be too grassy." ”

Rulan nodded, and said, "Sister, it's better to go to Mirror Lake for a walk, it is said that on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the water and the moon reflect each other, and the lake is as lonely as a mirror, which is exceptionally beautiful, not to mention that it is not far from here, and it will be there in a few steps." ”

I answered, walked with Rulan like this, and when I looked up again, I arrived at Mirror Lake.

Mirror Lake lives up to its name, the lake at this time reflects a full moon, the whole lake is silent, and there are one or two insect chirpings on the lakeside, which is really beautiful.

I sat down in this silence, touched a small stone with my fingers, picked it up and threw it sideways towards the surface of the lake, and with a "plop" sound, the lake stirred up a splash and rippled layer after layer.

He looked at the lake with his hands on his cheeks, not knowing what he was thinking.

Not far away, I suddenly remembered a few unknown screams, which were terrible and terrifying.

Rulan's expression changed, and she said loudly, "Owl." ”

I tilted my head slightly, not quite understanding, "What's wrong?" ”

"Sister doesn't know, the owl was the most unlucky, for example, when Lan was young, I heard my grandmother say that when the owl chirped at night outside the window, it was counting people's eyebrows, and if it was counted, it would take away people's lives."

I smiled nonchalantly, "I didn't expect you to believe this." ”

Xu was too nervous, she didn't listen to this sentence, but said, "Sister, sit down for a while, I'll go and drive it away, it sounds weird." ”

I laughed it off and let her go.

Rulan just walked not long ago, the lake in front of me suddenly seemed to be someone constantly throwing stones, the sound of the water splashing was endless, the silence around was broken, I turned my head to look around, and there was no one, but the sound of the water still intermittently sounded.

Suspicious, I got up and walked over to the lake, trying to see what was going on.

When I went to look at the lake, the water calmed down, without the slightest sound, as if it was just my illusion.

As I pondered, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind me, and a figure stretched a little on the ground in front of me.

"Rulan, you ......" The unfinished words were stuck in my throat, and my pupils dilated instantly.

Because the person behind him was not Rulan at all, his face was hidden in the veil, I couldn't see clearly, my intuition was that it was a man, tall and tall.

"Who are you, in ...... Ah...... "My unfinished words were replaced by screams, and the person in front of me suddenly stretched out his hand to push me, and the strength was very strong, and I remembered that I had stood on the edge of the lake, and there was no way to resist, and there was no way to avoid it, so I went straight into the water.

The water was cold and cold, and I couldn't swim, but I just waved my arms vigorously to try to grab something and pull me ashore, and opened my mouth to call someone, but I poured a big mouthful of water, and I couldn't say a word.

The strength is gradually draining, and the fluttering action slows down little by little.

"Sister......

"Face-to-face ......"

I heard the voices of Rulan and Jun Mochen, and my body seemed to be re-energized, and I saw Jun Mochen running in stride, desperately shouting, "Help...... Destiny ......"

At this moment, I suddenly felt my ankle under the water being held tightly, and a great force pulled me underwater, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't shake it off.

The water was dim, I tried my best to open my eyes, but my eyes were full of water, in a fog, I seemed to see Yan Yi, handsome eyebrows and eyes, a gentle smile, I wanted to get closer to him, closer and closer......

Suddenly, the hand that was flapping on the surface of the lake was tightly grabbed, and I instinctively held it back with my backhand, using all the strength of my life.

After a few moments, the force that was holding me under the water gradually withdrew, and I felt myself rising, slowly escaping from the water.

Yan Yi's face was not clear, and I laughed softly, is it a dream, or he is also protecting me.

The moment I breathed the air again, I was wrapped in a strong embrace, and I was able to sleep peacefully.

I was fine, but I was too frightened, choked on a lot of water, and got better after a long time of sleep.

Jun Mochen was extremely sick, with a high fever, and he couldn't even get conscious.

The imperial doctor said that he had not recuperated well from the cold last time, and now he has been soaked in the lake water in autumn for a long time, which is like adding insult to injury, and his body is naturally unbearable.

It was only at this moment that I realized that his illness had never been cured, but this time he was desperate to save me.

I looked at Jun Mochen lying on the couch, he was still asleep, his lips had lost their blood color due to illness, and he was sickly pale and pursed tightly, he was a little childish.

Such a strong person lay on the couch with a pale face, dripping in cold sweat.

It was as if he would fall asleep like this, never to wake up again.

Suddenly, he frowned, his expression became anxious, and he muttered, "...... Gongya ...... I'm here, I'm ......"

When I heard what he said, I was in tears, and my heart was filled with pain.

Jun Mochen, what should I do to you?

His concubines and concubines were all piled up at the door in a noisy manner, crying and wiping their tears, shouting and asking for warmth, so lively.

I looked at it coldly, soaked the towel and helped him wipe the sweat stains on his face, and Shen Xiaowei on the side suddenly said, "Your Majesty rarely has such a desperate time......

My hand paused, and I looked back at her, and in the midst of the noise outside the hall, she sat quietly, with tears in her eyes, but she could not bear to fall.

"You are good to take care of Your Majesty......" she said this, and then left with a group of palace people, and the voices outside the hall also quieted down, I sat in this silence, and Shen Xiaowei's tearful eyes always lingered.

As the so-called love is deep, the pain is cut.

It wasn't until the next night that he woke up slightly, because he had not spoken for a long time, his voice was hoarse and dark, and the moment he saw me, his eyes lit up instantly, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay if you're okay." ”

I didn't know what I was feeling for a while, and my nasal cavity was very sore.

"Limo" His voice was weak and hoarse, but how could he hide it from Limo, who had been guarding outside the hall.

Sure enough, before the words fell, Limo came in.

"You go and find out who stayed around Mirror Lake during last night's dinner."

Li Mo was taken aback, "Your Majesty suspects that someone did what happened last night on purpose?" ”

Jun Mochen's expression turned ruthless, "Yes, when I went to save her, someone under the water was pulling her face, I will never allow such a person to stay in the palace, even if I dig the mirror lake, I will dig this person out." ”

There was no word left Mo, and he was ordered to go out.

He then lay back down, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were even more.

I muttered, "I'm fine, I don't have to make such a fuss." ”

He looked at me sideways, "It's not for you, it's for my country." ”

He said, not for me, but for his country, my throat moved, and I was inexplicably a little sad.

There is no doubt about Limo's ability, and after a few days of investigation, he really found something.

Before the night banquet, the palace maid of Jinghu did see someone staying on the shore of Jinghu, looking at the figure of a man, quite a bit of grandeur, but at first she could still see people walking, but later when the palace maid went to the river, there was no half of the figure, and she thought that she should have gone into the water.

And after Rulan heard the sound of the owl leaving, she met Jun Mochen who came out because she was not worried about me, but the trees on the shore of the mirror lake were thick, and the night was dark, he lost it for a while, and then he heard my cry for help.

But it must have been premeditated, and the people on the shore pushed me into the water first, and the people under the water drowned me in the lake, and the people thought that I had fallen into the lake by accident.

I shuddered, I was so close to death.

Jun Mochen looked at me with a serious face and said, "There must be someone who hates you very much, so they will take your life, the palace is heavily guarded, and the one who can do this must be the palace people, think about it, can there be disputes with others?" ”

If I think about it, since he Jun Mochen entered the imperial city, I have been sick, and I have rarely even left the palace gate, let alone make enemies with others.

"Oh, by the way......" Li Mo suddenly spoke, lowered his head and took out an object from his clothes and spread it out in front of Jun Mochen, "I also picked this up on the shore of Mirror Lake, but according to the people of the palace, it was a man, but this is a woman's body." ”

When I looked over, I only felt a "boom" in my head, and I couldn't hear anything else.

This is a delicate button, layered extremely finely, made into the shape of a hibiscus, very realistic, as if you can smell the fragrance when you get closer, and it is lying in Jun Mochen's palm at this moment.

"Huh? Isn't this the button on my sister's honey-colored elastic ink brocade dress? Rulan suddenly screamed in surprise, and I suddenly felt as if the overlapping shadows in front of me could not stand.

Rulan is right, this is indeed the button on my clothes, which I cut out with scissors and put in the palm of Yan Yi's hand before he set out on the expedition, meaning "the heart is like a double wire net, and there are thousands of knots".

But now, isn't Yan Yi already ...... Is it long gone?

Why did this clasp appear on the shore of Mirror Lake for no reason?

I remembered the shadow at the dinner that day, and the hazy vision when I was underwater, and suddenly I had a faint glimmer of anticipation in my heart.

Jun Mochen raised his eyebrows and asked me, "Your button?" ”

Seeing that I was silent for a long time, Rulan Ying said, "Yes, sister, this button has been lost for a long time." ”

"Then how can you be sure that this must be the one she lost?" Jun Mochen asked rhetorically.

"Naturally, I can, my sister's dress is very fine, and I can't find a second one in the world." Rulan looked a little proud.

Because this button is sewn with hair, the most precious brocade in the world, and it took a year for the mother to stitch and thread, her embroidery is rarely rivaled in the world, and the buttons on the clothes are all in the shape of hibiscus flowers, and the inside is even wrapped in spices that have not been dispersed for many years.

Who can forget such a unique garment, even if it is just a button?

It's just that I don't plan to tell Jun Mochen about this, I looked at him directly, stubbornly trying to confirm another thing, "Because I gave this button to Yan Yi, and now that the person is gone, please ask Your Majesty to tell the courtiers, how can this button appear for no reason?" ”

I clearly saw Jun Mochen's body tremble, and there was a flash of fluctuation in his expression, "Maybe it happened to fall into the hands of others, there are many coincidences in the world, where can I say accurately?" ”

The veiling between his words made the hope in my heart sprout little by little.

A bold idea comes to mind.

Yan Yi, he may not be dead.
