Before I could wait for the childe's answer, I was woken up by a violent jolt.

I rubbed my eyes, trying to see where I was, but I felt that my vision was dim, and there was a squeaky sound in my ears like a solid hub, and a voice appeared next to me: "Sir, are you awake?" ”

I found that there was a person sitting on the right hand side, and in a daze, I responded shallowly, rubbed my eyes, and finally saw that I was in a crazy carriage.

This made me stunned, I lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see the sky is blue, the first quarter moon hangs in the middle of the sky, as far as the eye can see, there is no slightest cover, the ancient road is wide, the sky is vast and the earth is far away.

"Where are we going?" I vaguely felt that something was wrong, and my head felt as if a crack had been opened in the middle, and there was a chasm between yesterday's events and today's events, so that I could not connect the cause and effect.

Shutong put on a thick shirt for me, and said calmly: "Sir, we are going home." ”

"Hmm, it's good to go home......" I vaguely remembered that I was drunk in the Chong'an Palace, thinking that he was paying attention to my reputation as a woman, so he didn't dare to leave me in his mansion for the night, so he asked Shutong to pick me up.

Wait a minute, it seems that something is wrong? I hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car door, and found that Brother You and Chen Lanzhou were sitting in front of me, and then I looked out, the rows of houses and shops from the Chong'an Mansion to the Shoufu Mansion were gone, and on both sides of the straight avenue, there were endless fields.

"Xiao Xian, it's still early, you can sleep a little longer." Chen Lanzhou smiled at me when he saw me leaning out of the carriage.

I suddenly realized, the fierce night wind was blowing in my face, and my hand holding the car curtain was a little unstable, I looked at You Sifang and asked, "Brother You, are we going to Ningguo's home?" ”

You Sifang nodded: "Yes sir, we have to seize the opportunity to return to Ningguo." ”

The wind blew my skull a little painfully, but the coolness calmed me down.

I glanced up at the seemingly endless ancient road, and a not-so-good guess appeared in my mind at this time: "Is it that His Royal Highness King Chong'an has already discussed with you in advance, so ......" So no one asked me about my thoughts and plans, and fled back to Ningguo with me non-stop when I was drunk and unconscious.

Chen Lanzhou heard the loneliness and melancholy in my voice, so he raised his hand and gently tugged at the corner of my clothes, and comforted me in a gentle tone: "It happened suddenly, and everyone didn't know it in advance, but this is a good opportunity to leave, so we decided to go back to Ningguo overnight." ”

"Didn't His Royal Highness King Chong'an know about it in advance?" I heard my voice sneer, "Since you didn't know in advance, it should have been his suggestion to leave the imperial capital now, and this good opportunity to leave was also created by him?" ”

It's ridiculous, I thought he was willing to drink with me because I was coerced, he was a rabbit, I was the one who waited for the rabbit; I didn't think that he had planned it a long time ago, so he waited for this opportunity to get me drunk, so that I could push me out of Jinguo and out of the imperial capital—I was the rabbit who rushed to hit the stake, and his brain was broken and he refused to look back.

Chen Lanting got up, half-pushed and half-hugged me back to the carriage and put me on a soft cushion, the car was small, he half-knelt in front of me, stroked my knees and said seriously: "Xiaoxian, even though His Royal Highness King Chong'an is my rival in a sense, I still want to say a few words for him, when he was in Nanguo Mansion, he was so seriously injured but still thought about how to help you leave, which shows that he really cares about your safety." And in the more than two months since he arrived in the imperial capital, he has never let go of this year for a moment, so when the time comes, he wants to grasp it firmly, and he does not dare to delay for a moment to send you to a safe place. Can you appreciate the painstaking efforts of His Royal Highness King Chong'an? ”

I did not answer his words.

I looked blankly at the curtain of the car door lifted by the wind, looked at You Sifang who was calmly driving the carriage in front, and looked at the warm-eyed Shutong sitting next to me, and a large sense of familiarity suddenly surged in my heart——

I firmly believe that this familiarity does not come from unrealistic fantasies, but from the real sights of the past, and I have a strong thought, I believe that on a certain year, a certain month, and a certain day, the dredging is beside me, swimming in all directions in front of me, I have sat in a carriage, watching the carriage run wild on the ancient road to the south.

At that time, I seemed to be bullied by a person, physically and mentally exhausted after lingering, and my liver and intestines were broken after parting, I couldn't bear to think about the words that echoed in my ears at that time, but those two sentences were like a red-hot soldering iron with a blazing and hot temperature, firmly imprinted in my mind, and it is difficult to erase it in this life and this life.

Those two sentences say something like this:

"It turns out that Lord Qin is not perfect, which makes this king feel not very satisfied, but thanks to your kung fu is not bad, you can also make up for it a little."

"This wrench is polished with the only piece of moon spirit jade in the world, and it will be used as a reward for you. Take it, get out, go back to your Ning Kingdom, and never appear in front of this king again, you are boring to this king. ”

This king, this king.

Could it be the King of Chong'an with whom I have been entangled many times?

The little prince of Lanzhou, who was as gentle as jade, now stroked my knees and asked me if I could understand the painstaking efforts of His Royal Highness King Chong'an, what I wanted to experience, but in the end, what I experienced was indeed the heavy bitterness and sharp pain when I first heard those two words, which was no different from ten thousand arrows piercing my heart.

I rubbed my forehead and tried to tell myself: that king was not the king of Chong'an, they must be different people.

"Mr. drank a lot yesterday, I think it was a headache, do you want to sleep for a while?" Shu Tong worried.

"Shutong," I sighed, I didn't want to make her uncomfortable with these words, but I still wanted to make this matter clear, "Does Qiong Guo really have that kind of medicine?" ”

"Huh?" She was slightly stunned.

"After taking one or two pills, you can fall asleep for two or three days, and when you wake up, you will be radiant and refreshed." I say.

"There's this medicine. Sir, you ate a big can at the time, so ......"

"So I fell asleep for five whole years." I chuckled, a sour feeling in my heart, "It stands to reason that five years ago, I was holding that jar of medicine and eating it like candy, watching the troupe babble and sing on stage, and I should have been impressed by this, because it was the last thing I did before I fell asleep." But when I woke up, I didn't really remember that I had taken this medicine five years ago — you told me about it, and even this story. ”

When she heard this, she smiled helplessly: "Sir, do you think Shu Tong is deliberately deceiving you?" ”

"No, I don't think you're going to lie to me on purpose. You should be as painstaking as King Chong'an, that's why you tell this lie to deceive me. I don't know what happened to me in those five years, I don't remember anything when I wake up, I shouldn't have taken a simple sleeping pill, is it still a function that makes me forget something? Did you negotiate this? ”

There was some damp mist in my eyes, and I tried to control it not to let the tears fall, "But Shutong, my memory should be left to me, and it should be up to me...... Even if it is a bad memory, it should be my own choice to forget. Forgetting by external force is temporary, and you see me in this galloping carriage tonight, and I remember that there was such a ...... back then."

Shutong became uneasy, stepped forward and hugged me, and choked up: "Sir, don't think about it anymore. ”

After a long silence, I heard myself calmly say, "I'm going back." ”

Shu Tong was stunned for a moment: "Sir? ”

Chen Lanzhou seemed to understand my thoughts: "You can't let go of these people in Jinguo?" ”

I nodded, got up and lifted the curtain of the car door, and said to You Sifang: "Brother You, you stop the carriage first, I have something to say." ”

In the interval between his horse and parking, he took a deep breath, glanced at the vast field under the moonlit sky, and tried his best to curb the idea of wanting to give up, obey their arrangements and take the opportunity to escape from the imperial capital, and never look back, turned around and called Shutong and Chen Lanzhou over, and explained seriously and seriously: "I have been confused for five years, but my appearance has not changed, and I have heard about Cheng Yu's addiction to the art of immortality everywhere in the imperial capital these days, and I contacted her to take someone to Nanguo Mansion in person to arrest me. No matter how stupid I am, I vaguely understand why. ”

After a pause, he observed the expressions of Brother You and Shu Tong, and frowned, "If I guess correctly, I'm afraid I have the secret of immortality that she wants to know." ”
