Chapter 18: The Nightmare Abyss

Chapter XVIII Introduction

The delicate girl dressed as a man walked into the Beihai Palace, and when she saw Ji Yu, she said: "Seventh brother, just now I saw an extremely beautiful girl standing at the gate of your mansion in a daze, as if she wanted to come in but didn't come in."

This delicate girl dressed as a man is the princess Yingyu of Pengcheng, who is bored and has nothing to do so she comes to his half-brother Beihai King.

After Ji Yu heard this, he didn't pay attention to it at the time, he knew where he came from, he had always been very happy and had nothing to do with any girl. And the girl he liked since he was a child has also disappeared from the world, and the only one who has anything to do with him is Bai Tao, Miss Gao, who has only recently met.

Could it be her? It's definitely her! He hurriedly ran out, and there was no figure at the gate of the house.

Are you here?

Why don't you come in and find me?

Can I go see you?

Will he allow it?

The King of Beihai had an indifferent look on his face, and he thought of the emperor's explanation.

thought of the emperor's words floating in his ear, "Take good care of her." ”

Is she his man?

He melancholy recalled the first sight he had seen her. was hugged back by the emperor, and the woman was already dying. The clothes on his body were in tatters, and his face was pale.

The emperor threw him a word, "take good care of her" and left.

And after she woke up, he saw her beautiful face, calm temperament, and twinkling eyes, and he was slightly moved.

She thought he had saved her, but he didn't say that it was the man who had sent her.

In Mengxian Residence, he didn't dare to ask the imperial brother directly, where did the girl come from, and he didn't dare to ask who she was.

The royal brother told him to take good care of her, and he took good care of it, but on that day, he had already guessed that the imperial brother knew her.

When he returned to Pingcheng this time, he specifically asked Xie Rin to find out what the relationship between Gao Zhaorong and the imperial brother was, and whether they had known each other.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Coming out of the Nuanxiang Pavilion, a few horses came up the street, and the people on the street gave way, and on the back of the horse at the front was an old man dressed in a red and black brocade robe, about fifty years old, with a round face and a beard, and a burly figure.

His expression was very serious, giving people a kind of power.

As the horse team came, I and the other pedestrians retreated to the side of the street, and the man in front of me was so eye-catching that I couldn't help but look at him.

Just after looking at him, I had a vague impression of him in my mind, as if I had seen him somewhere.

I stared at him with the man's attraction until he passed the street in front of me and looked at the caravan of horses passing by, and I felt myself wandering.

Did I know him, why did I see that person, and a vague impression suddenly flashed in my mind.

"Who's that guy?" I frowned lightly and asked Zilan beside me.

Zilan replied to me respectfully, "Dongyang King Tuoba Pi, the official is Situ Gong." ”

I looked into Zilan's eyes and asked seriously, "Have I seen him before?"

Zilan thought seriously, and finally shook her head, "If you say that the young lady has met the Dongyang King face-to-face, it seems that she has not, and she has never been to the Dongyang Palace, let alone talked to the Dongyang King, if you want to say that you have seen it on the street like today, it is possible to have it." ”

I wondered, "That's it?" ”

Zilan nodded, "The slave maid only knows this, because it was Yinglin who served the young lady in the past, and she was the one who accompanied the young lady the most, and Yinglin must know more than the slave maid." ”

Zilan sighed, a little sad, "It's just that Sister Yinglin hasn't heard from her until now, otherwise Miss can ask her anything." ”

I looked at the Dongyang King who had already gone away, I really hadn't seen him?

After returning home, I kept the figure of King Dongyang in my mind.

At dinner, I met Gao Xian, he was gentle and polite, and his tone of voice was extremely soft and full of bookishness.

Thinking of today, Zilan said that two years ago, he fought for my son with Shang Shuyoucheng, and injured others, at this time, he really doesn't look like a person with that kind of strength.

He should have a good temper to make him move, and at that time, the Lizilang should have said something that made him extremely uncomfortable.

I had a very good impression of Gao Xian at this time, and at the dinner table, I looked at him and smiled.

He glanced at me with his peach blossom eyes, smiling softly as he took a bite of rice.

His reaction may have been for Gao Li to find out, and she coughed lightly and glared at Gao Xian coldly.

Gao Xian immediately glared back at her.

I laughed secretly in my heart, maybe only Gao Xian could deal with Gao Li's cold expression.

After a few bites, my father put down his chopsticks, said that he still had government affairs to deal with, and went back to his study.

When my father left, I always felt that I was not happy to sit down, and they were all in one voice at this table except me, while my mother ate alone in her own yard.

I put down my chopsticks and saluted the eldest lady and said, "I'm going to see my mother."

The eldest lady waved her hand and didn't bother to pay attention to me, perhaps hoping that I would go away.

Out of their sight, I feel a lot more relaxed. When Zilan accompanied me to my mother's door, Mother Lin told me that my mother had rested and told me not to bother.

Dure, I went to my autumn water house.

When passing by the lotus pond, I suddenly stopped, looking at the pool of water, I was inexplicably sad.

It was already dark, and the house was lit with faint street lamps, and under the yellow dim lights, I stood by the lotus pond in a daze.

"Zilan, you go back first, I want to be alone." My face was full of melancholy.

Zilan just answered "yes" and left.

Leaning on the tree pole by the lotus pond, I was dull, and suddenly the lotus pond in front of me was rippling, and I saw a little girl floating on the surface of the water in the pool, half of her body was on the water, her head was half sinking and half floating, and she felt that she was unconscious.

I screamed in fright and took a few steps back.

I was shocked again, and I turned my head blankly, and saw Gao Xian behind me with a pale face.

His face was also extremely bad, and he put his hand on my shoulder and asked, "What's the matter, second sister."

I approached his body, not daring to look at the lotus pond, and pointed to the surface of the water with my hand, muttering, "A child died on the surface of the water."

Gao Xian may have looked at it before replying to me: "Second sister, how can there be, are you dazzled?"

I shuddered a little and tugged at his sleeve tightly, "There really is a child." ”

Suddenly, Gao Xian turned my body over, made me face the water, pointed to the water and said, "Is it not?" ”

I looked at it with all my guts, and there was nothing on the water, and it was silent.

Am I really dazzled?

I took two steps closer and looked closely, and there was really nothing.

So what the hell is going on with all this, is it really my inexplicable restlessness in my head these days?

Gao Xian sent me back to Qiushuiju, asked Zilan to boil me a bowl of soothing soup, watched me drink it, sat on the edge of my bed himself, and waited for me to fall asleep before leaving.

In a daze, I felt the sound of a flute in my ears, and the sound became clearer and clearer.

I really wanted to open my eyes, but it seemed to be very difficult, I felt like I couldn't open my eyes, the eyes were dark, the light was not bright, and the light was not bright enough.

I struggled to see clearly, as if there was a person standing in front of me. Suddenly, my eyes lit up, and I could clearly see the scenery in front of me.

It was already very quiet in the courtyard, and I stood under the porch, looking up at the stars in the sky.

Am I looking at the sky under the stars? When do I get up to look at the stars? I don't remember at all.

Under the corridor in front of me, there was a man walking towards me, with a white robe, long hair fluttering, fluttering sleeves, and deep eyes.

I pinched my arm hard, wondering if I was dreaming again.

However, I could feel the pain.

I rubbed my eyes together, hoping that when I opened my eyes, there would be no more sights like this.

But when I opened my eyes, the man was still there, and he was still approaching me step by step.

He looked at me arrogantly and indifferently.

I froze, the corners of my mouth twitching, and I thought I must be in a dream at this point.

Sometimes I feel like I can't tell the difference between waking and dreaming.

It's like it's in a dream, and it's like it's really happening.

In the Valley of the Hidden Forest, I was in this state, unable to distinguish between reality and dreams.

It's been a few days since I've dreamed of this wicked man, so why did he appear in my dreams again?

The demon man approached me who was stunned, didn't pay attention to my surprised eyes, put one hand on my shoulder, I only felt that my body was light, and the whole person was empty. I looked down in panic, and I was in the air again.

The man leaped up with me in his arms, and I turned my head to look at his face, which was very real in front of my eyes.

Am I not dreaming? Did he come to reality from a dream? Is this true?

On the roof, he stopped. I grabbed him tightly and looked down at Gaojiazhuang at night. At this time, I found out that the Gao Mansion is very broad, although I don't know if this is considered very rich, but I think it is relatively rich.

I don't have the heart to look at the courtyard of Gaofu, I just don't know why this person often appears in my dreams like this. And now I don't think it's a dream, I'm confused.

Looking at him in a daze, I pinched my arm hard, it hurt a little, it shouldn't be a dream!

"Who the hell are you?" I brushed his body a little away, and I tried to figure out what the hell was going on.

His posture was still as dusty as when he first saw it, and the breeze blew his clothes under the shroud of white yarn, which seemed to be illusory and real, like an immortal, like an illusion, very unreal.

But I could see his face clearly.

The demon man just smiled and said, "I'm Rui, I've already told you."

Sharp?

I remember that when I was in the Valley of the Forest, he told me this in a dream.

"You've forgotten about me." The man looked at me with empty eyes.

I twitched my lips, not understanding his words.

"Still, I remember you." He took my shoulders again and pulled me into his arms, watching his lips get closer and closer, and I struggled with my hands against his chest.

"What are you doing!" I was amazed at how it felt like him every time.

"Don't be afraid of me, I won't hurt you." He pursed his lips and smiled.

But I didn't listen to him.

In a panic of surprise, the soles of my feet slipped and I felt like I was falling. I'm going to die, did I fall off the roof...

In the night, I saw his figure getting farther and farther away from me, and I was falling down......

I exclaimed.

"Rui, save me!"

But he just stood on a high place so coldly, watching me fall.

When I opened my eyes, Zilan was sitting on the edge of the bed and looking at me in a daze, and I saw that I was in the bed in the room, so everything just now was really a dream again, and it was all fake?

I scrambled to my feet and ran out. Ignoring Zilan's shouts behind me, standing in the courtyard, I looked at the roof where the man in my dream took me to stand, and there was nothing on it.

How can there be that man...
