"In the nineteenth year of Wu Yao, it was about the middle of the year, when I was in the capital with my second uncle's family, and it was in this mansion - in the courtyard where Uncle Ji used to live, I found a book."

"—"Secrets of Waldo."

Hearing this, Pei Yaowei glanced at her.

Wen Lian smiled faintly and explained: "At that time, I only knew that this "Secret Records of Huadu" was divided into two volumes. The book that my uncle gave you is the second volume, and the one left by Uncle Ji is the first volume. ”

“…… The so-called 'rebellious heaven and life' formation of the Changming Four Formations are all recorded in this volume. ”

"You know my temperament, I got such a 'good thing' overnight, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep, I was so full of energy that I wanted to try it myself."

"At that time, my relationship with Xiao Zhu was still very harmonious—" At this point, she smiled, as if laughing at herself, "I won't tell you the truth, since I was a child, he has always been the most supportive of me in drumming up these things. Later, I got into the habit of telling people that whenever I didn't like to talk to others, I would tell them.

That time was no exception.

I told him about the Four Formations of Changming, and I said I wanted to try, but I had doubts about what the book said. He gave me an idea, and we discussed and discussed, and finally decided to go on a trip together. ”

"I originally thought that since Uncle Ji's confinement, it would be difficult to enter without being able to enter the stage. But I don't know what method Xiao Cha used, and both of us had a smooth journey. ”

Or rather, it went too well. And Wen Lian suddenly realized at that time that her cousin had the heart to win the heir.

"In Butai, I met Uncle Jiguang."

After Wen Lian said this, her eyes were miserable, she didn't know what she was thinking, and she paused for a long time before she came back to her senses.

"That side is short. But I got all the answers I wanted, and before leaving, Uncle Ji warned me not to fight the idea of the four formations of Changming, he said...... If the formation fails, I will die; If the formation is successful...... I will pay a price worse than death. ”

Pei Yaowei looked at her empty eyes, and finally spoke: "You don't believe it? ”

Wen Lian smiled and shook her head.

"Nope." She said, "I do." ”

Pei Yao tightened her grip on her dress.

"How could I not believe it...... I am a member of the Wen family, and I believe in the number of Xuanmen techniques more than anyone else, and I also believe that there are gains and losses. ”

"I just didn't expect that I fulfilled an emperor's life for Xiao Zhu, and the price turned out to be Xiao's life."

Her eyelids fluttered, and tears rolled down silently.

Pei Yao couldn't see her like this, so she turned her head away and stopped looking at her.

Wen Lian continued: "In the second year of Yan Ping, after Ah Huan's death, I wanted to destroy the Changming Sword and kill Xiao Zhu, but I couldn't do it alone.

So, I took my hatred with me and went to the station again. ”

Pei Yao held on to her breath, with some hope, and asked her: "You want to destroy the Changming Sword, you want to kill Xiao Zhu, but do you know what Jiguang wants to destroy and kill?" ”

Wen Lian looked at her and nodded quietly.

This point shattered Pei Yao's last hope for her.

"I know," she said.

He wanted to regain his pursuit. ”

Pei Yao stood up and looked at her in disbelief as if she had never known the person opposite.

"I'm sorry." Wen Lian said, "From the moment I found Uncle Ji, I was destined to be unable to live with you. ”

The person on the other side asked her, "He asked you to kill me, so you killed, he let you regenerate me, so, you also reborn me?" ”

Wen Lian nodded.

She asked Pei Yaowei, "Is there anything else you want to know?" ”

Pei Yaowei didn't say another word.

When she left the Wen Mansion, she was like a walking corpse, supported by Yu Xu, and returned to the Chu Palace, trembling all the way back to the Chu Palace, and entered the door regardless of the worry of the instantaneous rain, without saying a word, and rushed straight to the Yuguang Palace.

The hall was empty, and she remembered that Xiao Di had gone out to run errands.

This whole night, she lay alone on the bed, holding Xiao Di's pillow, her heart and feet seemed to be tightly wrapped with hemp rope and twisted twisted flowers, but Rao was so uncomfortable, but she couldn't shed a single tear in her eyes, and she was so swollen that she died.

In the Wen Mansion, for a long time after Pei Yaowei left, Wen Lian sat in place and did not move.

"Niangniang......" Duyu stood aside, her heart was empty and anxious, and her words were all in a trill: "Don't ...... like this"

Seeing that Wen Lian didn't speak, she stepped forward cautiously, squatted at her feet, put her hands on her knees and said, "Niangniang, is it okay for the slave to go to Pei Niangniang?" Let the slave and maid explain to Pei Niangniang...... Mother, don't be so bitter about yourself, the slave looks distressed......"

For a long time, Wen Lian's eyes rolled and looked at her slowly.

A smile appeared on her face, and she reached out and rubbed it on Duyi's head, "Silly girl...... What do you explain? ”

"I did all those things, and I am not wronged."

"Mother's ......"

Duyu opened his mouth and stammered, unable to say a word of rebuttal, and said after a long time: "But you should let Pei Niangniang know that you regret what you did back then——"

She wanted to say, you should let her know that after the death of His Royal Highness King Qi, what you hate in your heart is not only Changming Sword, not only the current emperor, but also yourself!

"You should tell Pei Niangniang that you are not ......"

Her head lowered and deepened, and at last her eyes closed, and tears were dripping down.

Wen Lian took a deep breath and shook her head, denying her 'shoulds'.

She said: "From the time when I changed my life for Xiao Zhu, I have already made up my ...... in my life."

"It's not my sin, it's just a—

She was deceived by me this time, and in the future, will she dare to believe it......"

Because of what happened this night, Instant Rain was uneasy, thinking about Xiao Di's instructions when he was leaving, he sent a flying pigeon to pass out overnight, and the next afternoon, Xiao Di hurried back.

"You...... How did you get back? ”

Pei Yao was originally sitting in a daze under the corridor of the Yuguang Palace, looking at the falling flowers in the court, and coldly saw a figure suddenly coming, and was shocked, and when he saw that it was him, he rubbed his eyes.

Xiao Di sent down the people who served on the left and right, took her hand, and brought the people into the house, "Instant rain sent me a message last night, saying that something is wrong with you, I can still stay outside, and I will come back." ”

As he spoke, he didn't forget to look her back and forth in a circle, and saw that there were no injuries on her body, so he was a little relieved.

But I didn't want to, so I breathed a sigh of relief, and then I felt a tightness on my waist, and she threw herself into her arms and hugged her.

Xiao Di was stunned, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He hugged her tightly, rubbed her back, and whispered, "Okay, okay, don't feel bad......"

"No," Pei Yao shook his head vigorously in his arms, "I'm uncomfortable, I'm so uncomfortable, Xiao Di!" ”

Just hearing her say this, he also became uncomfortable.

After coaxing patiently for a long time, he pondered the words of the instant rain, and cautiously probed: "Did you go to see Wen Lian yesterday?" ”

As soon as she heard this, she felt her heart twitch.

Seeing that she was silent, Xiao Di asked again: "Quarreled?" ”

Quarrel......

If you can still quarrel, it would be good.

"Xiao Di, I never asked you-" She looked up at him, "After Ah Huan died, you treated Wen Lian so politely, but in your heart, didn't you hate her at all?" ”

Xiao Di's hand on her back paused slightly.

"Of course I hate." He smiled faintly, and a sigh rang in her ears, "But Ah still loves her." ”

- Xiao still loves her, yes, he is also willing to treat her well.

Just this sentence stopped Pei Yao's words.

Before Xiao Di came back, she stayed awake all night, thinking about how to complain to him, how to tell him that she had been completely betrayed by her best friend who had been trusted wholeheartedly for twenty years.

But now, she didn't know whether she should say it or not.

If Xiao Di knew that the person who killed him back then was Wen Pitian, what would he do?

If Xiao Di knew that Wen Lian was now on the same side as Ji Guang, what would he do?

Mercy, mercy, why is it compassion......

Why is she accustomed to trust and distressed warmth......

"Why did you ask me this all of a sudden?" Xiao Di's voice sounded, pulling her back to the earth.

He asked, "What is wrong with you?" ”

"She doesn't want me anymore." Finally, she said, "She...... I chose to draw light. ”

At night, Kankan coaxed people to sleep, Xiao Di quietly got out of bed, put on his coat, and walked out of the palace door step by step.

Outside the hall, Instant Rain was ordered, and he had already led Mr. Yiyuan to wait there, and when he came out, the two of them saluted, Xiao Di nodded to Instant Rain, and let people go down to rest first.

When he arrived at the side hall, he said, "It's really troublesome to ask Mr. Lao to come over so late." ”

Mr. Yiyuan waved his hand and only asked him to speak bluntly.

"I heard that yesterday I asked Mr. to come over and ask for a pulse?"

Mr. Yiyuan's heart moved, thinking of Princess Chu's movements when she returned to the house last night, and probably understood.

He nodded, and without waiting for Xiao Di to say anything more, he told him all the things that the two of them said when they came to see Pei Yaowei yesterday.

"The princess started to feel a little wrong yesterday after knowing that Princess Qi had saved her life." He said, "It's just that the princess didn't want to say much, so she went to the Wen Mansion and waited for her to come back...... It's a malaise, as if he's been hit hard. ”

When he said this, Xiao Di's face was a little wrong.

Seeing this, Mr. Yiyuan also panicked, and after a while, he said tentatively: "Your Highness, I don't know what to ...... What's wrong? ”

Xiao Di slowly raised his head.

His eyes at this moment startled Mr. Yiyuan.

"Your Highness, are you ......" Mr. Yiyuan Huo Ran got up, full of doubts, "Are you okay?" ”

For a moment, Xiao Di took a deep breath and tilted his head with his eyes closed.

"Sir——! You have always been smart, but when you encounter the affairs of your children, you will not escape a concern and chaos. ”

Mr. Yiyuan became more and more uneasy, "Your Highness...... What do you mean by that? ”

Xiao Di opened his eyes.

He asked, "Is the cure for a false illness the same as a real disease?" ”

Mr. Yiyuan was stunned for a moment, and then he took a few steps back and knocked over the stool next to him.
