The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was September. In autumn, the sky is high and cool, the sound of insects is low, a few osmanthus trees in the pavilion are swaying in the wind, mixed with various colors of chrysanthemums light purple and bright yellow, gorgeous and bleak, the sky is very high, there are occasionally northern geese flying south, the light black wings draw a white arc, and a cloud is swept away.

Cui Siyu and Xiao Yuyin sat and played chess against each other in the quiet autumn scene, and in the quiet autumn scenery, they could hear each other's breathing, hear the braids scattered from the branches, hear the wings of birds skimming the tips of the dewy grass, and hear the crystal droplets of water pouring down the broken lotus leaves.

It has been two months since I came to this other world, and in a few days it will be the Queen Mother's birthday. From summer to autumn, it spanned a quarter.

Cui Siyu held a chess piece in his hand, landed on the chessboard with a snap, and then began to count a few wins on his own. Xiao Yuyin looked at the autumn wind sweeping away the leaf-like situation, collapsed, and cried to Cui Siyu: "You are too ruthless, you don't leave me a corner......"

Cui Siyu shook his head, and then smiled lightly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, "It's not that I'm ruthless, it's not that my chess skills are superb, it's that your mind is not on this at all." ”

Xiao Yuyin was silent, looking at the besieged Bai Zi, there was no chance of survival at all. She couldn't help but smile bitterly, and her eyes fell on the pond outside the pavilion, and there were still water droplets on the broken lotus leaves, which were the rain last night, crystal clear.

Cui Siyu is right, she didn't put this in her heart, she has been really annoyed recently, she is reluctant to Nalan Heng, but she has been avoiding him recently, and she will not meet if she can. Moreover, she also tried not to make physical contact with him as much as possible.

Because, between him and her, there are not thousands of mountains and rivers, but they clearly love each other, but they can't love.

Cui Siyu looked at her contemplative appearance, thought about it again and again, and still told Xiao Yuyin the not-so-good news, "You asked me to go to Master Zhichan, but when I went to Tianyu Temple, Master Zhichan had already gone to Yunyou, and I don't know when I will come back." ”

Xiao Yuyin didn't speak, her eyes kept staring at the residual lotus in the distance, and a drop of water slowly crossed the broken lotus leaf and fell on the water, causing ripples one after another.

"After the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, let's go." Xiao Yuyin slowly closed his eyes and replied in a low voice, his tone was soft, and he couldn't hear the emotion.

Cui Siyu didn't care whether she looked at her or not, nodded heavily, her dark jade-like eyes were deep, "I'll go with you." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yuyin turned her head to her, and the light of the morning light was faintly scattered on her face, but she could clearly see the seriousness on her face. Xiao Yuyin sighed and asked softly, "Then what about you and Ye Yun?" You and I are gone, what will he do? ”

"He accompanies Nalan Heng, and I accompany you." Cui Siyu said seriously, stretched out his hand and gently put it on the back of his hand, his dark jade-like eyes were brighter than the starry sky, full of sincerity, "If I don't accompany you, who else will accompany you?" You have all returned to Liyue Palace, how can there be any reason why I will not go back. Even if I don't have to go back to the palace, I will accompany you. ”

Xiao Yuyin was very moved, and before he could speak, he heard Cui Siyu's next words, and then he smiled softly, extremely happy.

"Even if I leave, if he dares to climb the wall, I will castrate him to see if he dares to touch the flowers and grass."

Cui Siyu looked serious, and the powder fist also took advantage of the situation, and he had a posture of doing a job.

"The matter between me and Nalan Heng, you can find someone to talk to Ye Yun!" Xiao Yuyin thought of the relationship between Nalan Heng and Ye Yun, and didn't want to affect Cui Siyu because of herself, she was already like this, don't hurt her good friend. In her heart, Cui Siyu is her best friend, a close friend, and a best friend. Just like the modern Fifi, they are her most important friends.

"But......" Cui Siyu frowned, understanding what she meant, but she was still a little uneasy in her heart, "What if he told Nalan Heng?" ”

Xiao Yuyin smiled, her beautiful little face was a little blurry under the sunlight, but her eyes as bright as the starry sky were shining with dazzling brilliance, and there was a hint of warmth, just like snow in winter, when the sun gradually melted, it returned to spring and warmth.

"Ye Yun won't say it, he will rot in his stomach. You should know how big Nalan Heng's weight is in Ye Yun's heart, you won't not understand. Xiao Yuyin's tone was calm, but she knew more clearly than anything in her heart, how Ye Yun treated Nalan Heng, and Cui Siyu was also very clear, so Cui Siyu was silent.

"He won't risk Nalan Heng, so trust me, he won't tell Nalan Heng. On the contrary, he will help us. Xiao Yuyin stood up, patted Cui Siyu's shoulder, and smiled softly, "So you go and talk to him, so that there won't be any misunderstanding later, which will not be good." ”

One more thing, one less thing. It is better to have one more person to be happy for yourself than to be separated and sad together. Moreover, it is because of their own business.

"Okay, I got it." Cui Siyu weighed it before nodding.

Xiao Yuyin stood next to Cui Siyu, looking down at her, then turned her eyes away and looked at the pavilion, which was still wet. The light of the morning sun shines through the water droplets and refracts into colorful light, which is very beautiful.

Cui Siyu kept staring at the table, his eyes were not on the chessboard, but he didn't know what he was thinking. The sunspots between the slender fingers like jade are so conspicuous, gently clasping the tabletop.

"By the way, there are still a lot of rules in the Moon Palace, and you still have a lot of things to do after you go, in addition to learning the sound attack method, you also need to understand the palace rules." Cui Siyu opened her mouth lightly, but her eyes were very soft. Then there was a little seriousness in his tone, "After returning to the Moon Palace, you not only have to practice, but after all, you are the palace master, you must have something, you must learn." ”

Xiao Yuyin nodded, and talked about Liyue Palace, but it reminded her of one thing, what Nalan Heng told her a few nights ago, the prince of the Eastern Jin Dynasty came to leave Beijing, and she and Nalan Heng and a few people obviously stole other people's things, and then let them escape.

Therefore, in a sense, the prince of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Xiao Yuyin are also enemies. It's just that Xiao Yuyin is not thinking about this now, but another thing.

At the beginning, Nalan Heng's purpose in the Eastern Jin Dynasty for two years was to snatch the parchment scroll, and it was definitely not easy to get it back that could be worthy of Nalan Heng's fanfare.

And she still remembered that there was a female name on it - Mu Qingwan. Later, I heard that she was a person from the Moon Palace, so if it was a person from the Moon Palace, then Cui Siyu, she should know.

"Xiaoyu, who is Mu Qingwan? Is it someone from the Moon Palace? Xiao Yuyin pondered for a long time, and finally opened her mouth and asked.

When Cui Siyu heard this, he was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly laughed, laughing so much that he couldn't stop for a long time.

"You...... You...... How do you know...... Mu Qingwan? Cui Siyu couldn't hold back his laughter for a long time, because he was so excited to laugh just now that he couldn't stop. It's so difficult to ask a complete sentence, and I can't breathe.

"Liyue Palace sent someone to protect Nalan Heng, you should know about this, right?" Xiao Yuyin sat down opposite her, asked her seriously, saw her nod, and then continued: "When Nalan Heng left the capital, someone went to the Liyue Palace to ask for help with the Liyue Order in hand, is this true?"

Cui Siyu nodded without thinking, "You're right, someone went to the Liyue Palace with the Liyue Order in hand, let's send someone to protect Nalan Heng." ”

Xiao Yuyin raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, "Is it Nalan Xiao?" ”

originally thought it was a matter of nine out of ten, but unexpectedly, Cui Siyu shook his head, "It's not Nalan Xiao, the person holding the Leaving Moon Order is not Nalan Xiao, if it is Nalan Xiao holding the Leaving Moon Order, he must not have proposed to protect Nalan Heng at all, he wants to use the power of the Leaving Moon Palace to get rid of Empress Yu and the family behind Empress Yu." ”

Xiao Yuyin nodded when she heard this, and agreed with her point of view, after several contacts with Nalan Xiao, she was able to find that Nalan Xiao didn't like Empress Yu at all. In fact, if you think about it, you also know that no matter how generous Nalan Xiao is, it is impossible for him to agree to kill the person he loves for so long.

Nalan Xiao regretted killing Queen Sima, he also loved Queen Sima, and it was impossible to make Queen Sima his queen after her death.

"The Northern Qi Dynasty has been founded for more than 800 years, and it is not a strong time at all. Today's Northern Qi only looks glamorous on the outside, and it is not monolithic. For example, Prime Minister Yu, that is, the force behind Empress Yu, is definitely bigger than you think, there is no absolute certainty, Nalan Xiao will not move him easily at all, because Bao Qi Yu will fight on the contrary, and at that time rebel in the name of the Qing monarch, Northern Qi should be in chaos. Cui Siyu looked at Xiao Yuyin's obvious puzzlement, and explained softly in a low voice.

"Isn't there still Sima Guogong in the court? He is the elder brother of Empress Sima, and his power is not weak, so can't he use him to contain Yu Xiang? Xiao Yuyin asked puzzled, she also knew more or less about these things during this time, although she didn't deliberately understand them.

Cui Siyu shook his head again, "What you're talking about is now, there are some things in the past that even Nalan Heng himself probably didn't know, and Nalan Xiao didn't know either." ”

Xiao Yuyin became more and more confused, she was powerless to complain, "Can you make it clear?" ”

"You just asked who was holding the Leaving Moon Order, and who went to the Leaving Moon Palace to ask for help? Is that right? The corners of Cui Siyu's mouth hooked up a smile, "Empress Sima holds one of the five, and it is also her personal maid who went to Liyue Palace to seek a guarantee for Nalan Heng." ”

Xiao Yuyin was a little surprised, but as if it was reasonable, she quickly calmed down, but what Cui Siyu said next surprised Xiao Yuyin.

Cui Siyu's backlit face had a shallow smile, and in her surprised eyes, she spit out a piece of news that surprised her even more.

"Sima Yun is from Liyue Palace."
