Her father's name is Ling Fengqi, he is a good official of the court, he is a good official with great prestige, her mother died of illness when she was very young, but her father has a deep affection for her mother, so she has never renewed the string, this is called Chi Du Villa, she suffered an accident on the way here, suffered a head injury, resulting in temporary amnesia, but when everyone found her, they only found her unconscious, so no one knew what happened at that time, I am afraid that she can only solve this mystery after she recovers her memory. For her safety, she needs to live here for two years, Bai Zhu will be responsible for taking care of her food, clothing, and daily life, and the guards of the Xiao Riding Camp will be responsible for protecting her safety, but they will only be active in the front yard and will not come to the backyard to disturb her, and it is best for her not to set foot in the front yard.

As for him, Xiao Yurui, is her cousin, her mother and his father are brother and sister, and the two of them have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and have a very good relationship, although his father is the prime minister of the court, but he himself is just a cloth cloth, she learned that at this time, she asked him curiously: "Cousin, you are full of economy and talent, and your father is the prime minister of the dynasty, there is no reason why you can't get fame and fame, and you can't get an official and a half-job?" After hearing this, he just smiled faintly and replied lightly: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and I have never wanted to be an official." Then she asked him curiously, "What is your ambition, cousin?" At first, he always laughed and did not say anything, and finally, after her countless questions, finally gave an answer: "You will know later." She was still curious, but when she saw the strange light in his eyes, she suddenly had a very strange feeling, that his ambition seemed to be related to her, but at the same time she seemed to feel a little afraid, but she couldn't figure out what she was afraid of, so she gave up asking and decided to wait patiently for this "future" to come.

Under his daily patient teaching and inspiration, she gradually discovered that she could read and write, and also knew some poetry and songs, but she did not know much about chess, and she seemed to know nothing about the piano, but she was quite interested in the art of war, fighting and arranging formations, etc., not only learning quickly, but also liking to study by herself, and even often being able to touch the class.

With him by her side, she quickly adapted to life in Twilight Hills, except that she sometimes wakes up from nightmares when she falls into the uneasiness of amnesia and the search for the past, she is no longer bothered by the fact of amnesia, and only hopes that she can recover her memory as soon as possible, and her days are spent in this peaceful and fulfilling day.

Until one night more than ten days later, they sat here as usual, but instead of telling her the story as usual, he told her that he could no longer stay here with her every day, and that there were still many things to be dealt with outside, but he promised to come to see her every ten days in the future.

She suddenly felt a little frightened and a little reluctant, but she didn't know how to open her mouth to keep it, and she didn't know if he would change his mind because of her retention.

He seemed to understand her thoughts, and said to her very seriously without waiting for her to speak, "Xin'er, my cousin knows that you don't want me to leave, and I am very reluctant to let you go, and I don't worry about you staying here alone, but in order not to let you suffer any more harm, and in order for us to be able to get along day and night like now in two years, there are some things that my cousin must do, and I am leaving today to better protect you in the future, and also to prevent people from snatching you away in the future." ”

She looked at him blankly, as if she understood, but she didn't seem to understand.

He didn't explain more, just looked at her gently, "Xin'er, do you believe your cousin?" ”

She didn't understand why he suddenly asked, but she nodded without hesitation.

"Then live here with peace of mind and take good care of yourself, my cousin promised you that he will come to see you every ten days, rain or shine."

Looking at his gentle and deep eyes, she nodded subconsciously.

Later, he kept his promise and would come every ten days, rain or shine, and every time he came, he would bring her a lot of things, a collection of books, calligraphy, paintings, piano scores, delicious food and fun, all kinds of things she knew and didn't know, what she could think of and what she couldn't imagine.

Later, she began to have all kinds of questions, and every time he came she would ask, but some of them he would answer in detail, some of them would be very few words, and some of which he would not answer, telling her that if she had not been able to regain her memory, he would tell her again at the right time.

As a result, the doubts in her mind piled up.

Xiao Yurui looked at the unpredictable expression on Ling Yuxin's face, knowing that she must have remembered the past, so he didn't bother her, just looked at her quietly, and didn't interrupt her thoughts until he saw her frowning for a long time and didn't stretch her brows, "If you have anything to know, just ask!" ”

Ling Yuxin looked at him in a daze, although there were more and more doubts in her heart in the past two years, but at this moment she didn't know where to start.

Xiao Yurui seemed to know that she needed time to think, so he didn't rush her, just waited quietly.

After a long time, Ling Yuxin seemed to have finally found the source of the problem, and asked word by word: "What big mistake did I make, and the emperor wants to punish me for being grounded here for two years?" ”

A look of surprise flashed across Xiao Yurui's face, "Why do you ask that?" After a pause, he continued, "I remember telling you that you would be safe to live here, that day you were accidentally injured, no one knows what happened, you can only wait for you to recover your memory, until the truth is known, you live in this hidden and little-known mountain villa is the safest, we limit it to two years, if you still do not recover your memory after two years, and we have not been able to find out the truth, then at the end of the two years, I will take you home, although you are not allowed to step out of this mountain villa during this period, However, any activities you can do in the villa are unrestricted, and you can take advantage of this period to recuperate here, and this place will not be disturbed by the outside world, which is conducive to your physical and mental recovery and early recovery. Why do you feel like you're being punished for making a mistake and you're being grounded here? ”

Ling Yuxin raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Yurui, "Do you remember that my cousin still remembers, when I first woke up two years ago, I asked my cousin where I was, and my cousin told me that this is the Twilight Villa, yes or no?" ”

Xiao Yurui thought for a moment, and said, "That's right." ”

Ling Yuxin pursed her lips and smiled, "Then it seems that my cousin himself has never read the classics you sent in detail, or he has read them but forgotten them." In the classics sent by my cousin, there is a very detailed record of this villa, and the twilight villa was built by the founding emperor of this dynasty, and the original intention was to imprison all the harem concubines during his lifetime after the emperor's death, and guard the mausoleum for him for life. After this system was abolished by the second emperor of this dynasty, the villa was changed from that time onwards to punish the families of the harem concubines and important officials of the court who had made mistakes, and imprisoned them here to think about their own mistakes. Since it is a place used by the royal family for punishment, how can I enter it easily, and how can I live here for no reason! You said, my father is a minister, then I am naturally a family member of the important ministers of the court, although I can move freely in the villa, but I can not leave the villa, this is tantamount to being grounded here, then I must have made some big mistake to be punished by the emperor. ”

Xiao Yurui's dark eyes seemed to have a faint flicker, "Just by the same name of the villa, do you think it's the same place?" It just so happens that the same name is not out of the question. ”

"Nature is not just the same name. According to the classics, the founding emperor of this dynasty in order to let his concubines guard the tomb for him after his death, so as to prevent people from wanting to escape, so for the site selection and design and construction of this mountain villa have spent a lot of thought and energy, after sending a lot of people to spend several months, finally found a place that satisfies the emperor, a small hill surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side of the cliff, there was originally a rope bridge on the cliff in front of the mountain and connected with the opposite hillside, the mountain villa is built against the mountain cliff, although the villa is called the mountain villa, in fact, it is built according to the standards of the city, Both the gatehouse and the courtyard wall are much higher than the general villa, and there is also a movable iron bridge that can be lifted in front of the gate, it is said that after the completion of the villa, the original rope bridge was destroyed, and the iron bridge became the only passage, once the iron bridge is raised, the people in the village can not get out, and the people outside the village can not enter. Ling Yuxin raised her head slightly, staring at the towering courtyard wall and iron bridge, "Although I have never been out of this villa, the mountains on both sides and behind me, the courtyard wall and the iron bridge in front of me are visible every day, I am afraid it will be difficult to find a second one for such a special villa." ”

A hint of appreciation flashed in Xiao Yurui's eyes, "If it's really as you expected, then what do you think, cousin, how can I enter and exit this impregnable Twilight Villa at will?" ”

"Feel free to come and go?" Ling Yuxin looked sideways at Xiao Yurui and smiled, "I'm afraid it's not necessarily very casual!" If it weren't for the fact that someone sent dry food supplies to the villa every ten days, how could my cousin have a chance to enter! ”

Xiao Yurui squinted slightly, "How do you know this?" ”

"Cousin, you come every ten days, every time you come and go, the iron bridge in front of the door will be lowered, and then you can also hear the sound of the iron door opening, which proves that you are in and out of the villa openly, and the time you come and go every time is basically fixed, plus every time you come, the food delivered to us will change slightly, so there are only two possibilities, one is cousin, you are the person responsible for sending supplies to the villa, and the other is cousin, you are hiding in the supply team to mix into the villa."

The look of appreciation in Xiao Yurui's eyes was even worse, "Then which possibility do you think it will be?" ”

"When my cousin came several times, he had some traces of dry food on his body, either the soles of his shoes were filled with rice, or the corners of his clothes were stained with vegetables, but the clothes on his cousin did not have the creases and stains that should be after lifting heavy objects, not to mention, cousin, you said that your father was the prime minister of the court, but you were not an official in the court, so it is reasonable that such a thing as transporting supplies is unlikely to be done by the son of the prime minister's mansion, so the only possibility is that your cousin was hidden in a carriage stacked with dry food and mixed into the villa. But there is one thing I have never figured out, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion stationed in the front yard should be in charge of guarding me, since you have come here secretly, how can you escape their eyes every time, but if they know that you are coming, but let you come and go freely, then why should you hide in the carriage stacked with dry rations? ”
