The first time I saw her, it was on a cool late night.

Her name is "Qingqing", but I prefer to call her another name - "Guifei Niangniang".

But she is very different from the owner of another name.

I came late that night uninvited, and appeared in her boudoir a little abruptly.

I looked at her with apprehension, anxiety, and inquiry, but she looked at me with only curiosity.

I looked at that flower-like face and wondered over and over again if she was her?

She forgot all about the past, so I couldn't judge her identity for a while, so I could only silently stay aside, waiting for the moment when she really woke up and became herself again.

I looked at her from a distance in the dark, and this look made me clearly see a girl with a vivid personality who dared to love and hate.

I silently followed her through one thing after another, I hoped that she could find herself, but I was afraid that she would find herself.

I envy her for being able to live the way I want to live - to show herself to the fullest in the sun, dare to love and hate, and be chic.

She made me realize that she was drifting away from the person I wanted to see.

I began to panic a little, and appeared in front of her several times, but I could only prove again and again that she didn't seem to be Xiao Guifei.

I have to accept a cruel fact - she is not her, she is Wei Qingqing, she is not Xiao Guifei.

I was in despair!

I can't accept that I spent all my energy, but in the end, I still couldn't give Xiao Guifei a new life!

I had a demon in my heart for the second time.

It was a demon with a killing heart.

The demon in my heart bewitched my heart and eyes, and made me have the terrible idea of killing Wei Qingqing and awakening Xiao Guifei!

But that's also a living life!

I have made all kinds of efforts to prevent Xiao Guifei from sacrificing herself and resurrecting my mother, and now if I kill Wei Qingqing and resurrect Xiao Guifei, then how am I different from those I hate?

I am a Buddha with compassion.

When I lost my mind, the man who loved Wei Qingqing deeply appeared.

His name is "Ming Ye", and he is the only person in this world who is connected to my blood.

It's my own brother I've seen but can't recognize.

It was when I was eight years old that I learned about my origins and the secret that was buried in a brocade box.

The master told me that my father was Rui Wang Ming Xiuyan, and my mother was the concubine of Emperor Qin lying in the underground palace.

I was shocked and slowly accepted this shady life.

I secretly went down the mountain to Rui Wang's Mansion, and hid in the corner to secretly look at my father, whom I had never met.

That was the first time I ran outside the Rui Wang's Mansion to peek at my father, and I looked at the tall back and my heart was so nervous that my heart was "banging" and jumping!

He's my father!

I was probably too nervous to notice anyone sneaking near me......

"Hey! What are you looking at? What's so nice about that guy who trains people with a strained face every day? ”

When I turned around, I saw a young but unruly face.

That's what eight-year-old Ming Ye looks like.

He had a little disdain on his face, a dog's tail grass in his mouth, and raised an eyebrow to look me up and down, "Hey! You are a monk in the temple, no one is holding you and controlling you, you must know where is the best place in the capital, right? ”

"The little monk doesn't ......" I want to say that I concentrate on practicing Buddhism every day, and I don't know where to play in the capital.

Who would have thought that he grabbed my hand, and his tone was a little arrogant, "Go!" Take this son to a fun place! ”

Yes, because he looks like his father and is not easy to be suspected, he grew up by his father's side, and he was invited to be named the son of King Rui early.

When he was young, he was unruly but full of energy, and he lived a free and chic life in fresh clothes and angry horses.

He and I lived two completely different lives, but I was neither jealous nor jealous, only happy for him.

Luckily, he doesn't have to hide under a mask like I did, living an ascetic life day in and day out.

We played like brothers all day, and it was the first and only time we had fun together.

After that, in order not to make people suspicious, I stopped approaching him, but only watched him from a distance.

I watched him grow up, from that unruly teenager to a fearsome general.

I watched him fall in love with Wei Qingqing little by little.

He even saved me from being trapped by demons without his own knowledge.

Wei Qingqing is Ming Ye's beloved, how can I hurt her?

No! I shouldn't have hurt her in the first place!

I slowly came to my senses, and little by little I walked out of the magic barrier.

I finally broke through the cause and effect that I couldn't break before, and understood that everything has its own certainty in the dark, and no one can force it.

Wei Qingqing has Wei Qingqing's life, and Xiao Guifei has Xiao Guifei's life.

Just like Ming Ye and I were destined to have completely different fates from the moment we came into the world.

I changed from wanting to kill Wei Qingqing to wanting to protect Wei Qingqing for Ming Ye.

I have saved her from danger several times, and I hope she can stay with Ming Ye safely for the rest of her life.

But I didn't expect that the secret that had been hidden for many years would finally surface.

As soon as the brocade box appeared, I knew that my time of death was near.

I want to do my last bit to protect Wei Qingqing and protect my only relative in the world, so I told Wei Qingqing all the secrets, hoping that she and Ming Ye could fight a prepared battle.

I hope that my younger brother can live and stay with his beloved for the rest of his life.

I did everything I could and waited for death calmly, but who would have thought that the master would sacrifice his life to save me.

The master did his best to save me and die in my place.

From now on, there will be no dust in the world, only no name.

I took my master's ashes all the way south, and passed by Ming Ye, who hurried back to Beijing, just like many years ago.

But even if we never knew each other, I always cared about him in my heart, and even if I wandered the world from now on, I would never feel lonely again.

After I sent Master's ashes back to my hometown, I went to Xiao Guifei's grave.

I looked at the two tombs standing side by side, and remembered that many years ago, that girl dressed in palace clothes and full of pearls and emerald hair once asked me with a smile, "Master Lichen, if one day I have a great revenge and can take off my mask and become myself, would you also take off the mask on your face?" ”

"Who lives by wearing a mask every day? How uncomfortable that is! ”

"Dust, I want to see that face under your mask."

Once again, my mind was reminded of the day the Liuhe Pagoda collapsed......

On that day, the faint fragrance on her body seemed to be nothing, was it the fragrance of begonia flowers or the fragrance of lilacs?

I don't think I'll ever know the answer, just as she never knows if I'm in love with her.

Little by little, the golden crow fell, and I took off the mask on my face in the glow of the sky and hung it gently in front of her grave.

I raised my head slightly to look at the glow in the sky, the dazzling glow stinged my eyes, yesterday was like a dream.
