And in the long and confused days ahead, the despair that can be seen, the hope that cannot be seen, is suffocating just thinking about it.

"Princess, the hour has come."

With the maid's reminder, Fenghuang slowly covered her with red silk.

At the moment when he was about to close it, Xibao saw Fenghuang's silent face from the mirror, and subconsciously grabbed her hand.

Fenghuang's expression moved slightly, and he looked at her silently.

Xibao looked at Fenghuang in the bronze mirror and whispered, "Can I ask you a question?" ”

Fenghuang also looked at the bronze mirror and did not refuse.

"You'll never be happy, will you?" Although I know that such an unbearable past, it was also many years ago, and Xibao has not seen her smile sincerely since the first time he saw Fenghuang.

"Forget it, Fenghuang." Xibao's voice was low and soft, like a call from the future, softly reaching her ears.

Feng Huang lowered his gaze and looked at Xi Baosheng's young face, "I didn't laugh because nothing happened that deserved me to laugh." ”

Hee-po thought for a moment and asked, "Then what will happen for you to laugh?" ”

"I don't know." Feng Huang took Xibao's hand away and continued to cover her hijab, "Maybe that will never happen." ”

Xibao was faintly scared in the hijab that blocked his vision. She could only see a patch of red by the candlelight, reflected on the road she was about to walk, as if she was stepping on a road of no return.

This night, the sky is full of stars, and when you look at it from the city tower, the lights in Chang'an City are full of lights, and the sky is full of red silk. This luxurious wedding was like a fire, burning the entire Chang'an City.

And she, in the most central part of the city, is in the spotlight of 10,000 people.

It was a night of jubilation, but also a night of farewell; It is a curtain of life and the beginning of another story.

Ziqi stood above the city gate in military uniform, the cold wind outside the city was cold, and there was a faint lonely soul drifting; The city was full of people, cheering for the princess's wedding, and it seemed that they could still taste the fragrance of wine and meat.

At this moment, he was a little sad and a little anxious, his eyes were invested in the vast night, as if he was looking forward to something. Maybe it's a person you can't say, maybe it's a clear future.

At this moment, someone climbed the tower and hurried towards him.

Under the light of the bonfire, Ziqi quickly identified who the person was, and looked behind him twice, but he was the only one who came.

"Requisition, why are you alone?" The plan was to have Tuoba pretend to be his lieutenant's subordinate, and then he would find another reason to let them go out of the city on errands, but now only one person came.

The appointed hour had passed, and the person who was supposed to appear had not yet appeared, Ziqi leaned on the city wall with one hand and asked the person next to him impatiently.

Ziqi's deputy general is called Hao Zhenghuan, who is a confidant who has been cultivated since childhood, is capable and calm, and many tricky things will be handed over to him to do.

The adjutant general gave a military salute and lowered his voice, "He hasn't come yet, but I've asked people to stay there, and I'll come over to report as soon as there is news." ”

Zi Qi retracted his eyebrows, and the bonfire ghosted his silhouette, looking sharp and calm, "Then what is the matter with you coming over?" ”

"When my subordinates received reports from outside the city, they seemed to have found suspicious people. They are late in the middle of the night, neither coming nor going, wandering somewhere. ”

"Did you catch it?"

"I didn't startle the snake, I stared." The man was only about twenty years old, he was still very young, but he was already extremely sophisticated.

The current tranquility is just a barely obtained appearance, the killing opportunity has never retreated, and tonight is another day of celebration in the city, and it is inevitable that someone will wait for the opportunity to move.

"Send more people and keep watching." Zi Qi ordered coldly, paused for a moment and then admonished, "You continue to wait for him over there, and if there is anything else, send someone else to report it, this matter must not go wrong." ”

"Yes." The adjutant general's eyes lit up, and he agreed forcefully, leaving without any hesitation or doubt.

Letting the proton go away is a big crime to kill the head, and a mistake will cause disaster to the family, but Zheng still carries out the order regardless of it. As for the principles and questions, he has nothing in his heart, if he has to have an explanation, it is that as long as it is the order of Prince Ziqi, he will carry it out unconditionally.

No cause, no effect!

After Zheng left, Ziqi's hand pressed on the hilt of the sword, and his deep gaze fell on the vast world outside the city. By the light of the stars, he seemed to be able to see something shadowy approaching, like a ghost.

The Imperial Palace, which was originally depressed but became lively overnight, is a good time for singing and dancing. The eight luxurious sedan chairs that Xibao sat all the way were carried outside a large hall.

People all over the road greeted her, cheered for her, and congratulated her. But the more lively the crowd, the more she felt that she was in the bitter cold. She will not forget that those who cheered for her had looked at her coldly and even trampled on her. Now, they are longing for her marriage to bring them peace.

The auspicious time has arrived, and Xibao walked into the main hall with the support of Fenghuang. His husband is also in red and has wide sleeves, and he has been waiting for her in the hall for a long time. The laughter of her father and queen was heard in her ears, and she could feel their dignified appearance through Xipa. They are a group of people who can put down anything, they have no nostalgia, they have everything in their hands, but they also have nothing.

After worshipping the church, Xibao returned to a temporary new house with the support of Fenghuang, which was already some distance from the front hall.

The door of the house was gently closed, and the hustle and bustle outside was suddenly blocked, and the red candle swayed slightly, outlining the lonely figure of the bride. At this moment, Xibao is like a slave, waiting for the arrival of his master. Moreover, it is ridiculous and sad to have to dress up and sacrifice yourself.

It seems that after waiting for a long time, the door was gently pushed open again, and the cold wind waited for the opportunity to enter, I don't know if it was an illusion, Xibao faintly smelled blood.

The footsteps drew closer, then stopped not far from her, and after a brief silence he picked up something and approached her again. It wasn't until he came to her feet that he stopped.

"Isn't it complicated right now?" Murong Chong didn't provoke her Xipa as Xibao expected, but instead asked her an inappropriate question.

Yes, she has mixed feelings. It was supposed to be the happiest day for a woman, but she wasn't as happy as she had imagined.

Xibao watched the tassel on the edge of Xipa shake for a moment, and then slowly spoke, "There is a little, probably joy and hesitation." ”

This answer only made Murong Chong smile with disdain, "Whether it is a man or a woman, marriage is one of the most anticipated moments in life, if you can get the person you like, it will be a great blessing in life." ”
