The bright moon hangs high, the stars do not move, the breeze comes, and the fragrance of flowers bursts.

The soldiers of the Rencheng Palace's Mansion shouted loudly, and Xiao Jingqi in the dark night looked back and saw that several soldiers were walking towards him not far behind him.

Revealing his identity like this was not his way of doing things, and before the soldiers could reach him, he jumped up and walked towards the courtyard wall.

As he flew through the air, he saw the woman who had given the ginseng soup to the king of Dongyang glaring at him. He was clearly an assassin who had entered the mansion at night, but the woman was not at all afraid, but stood there calmly.

Xiao Jingqi quickly left the Dongyang Palace, and he had no time to take care of anything else.

After leaving the courtyard wall, he heard a lot of footsteps chasing him behind him. He didn't dare to walk on the main road, so he had to hide in the black-lit alley.

The stars moved quietly and passed by overnight.

At breakfast, Tuoba Hong came to my Zhaoyang Palace to have dinner with me.

When we were almost eating, Zhou Gonggong outside the door reported: "Your Majesty, the King of Beihai is here, waiting in the Taihe Palace."

Hearing the King of the North Sea, I didn't hold the spoon steadily, and fell into the bowl, I don't know why I was nervous.

Tuoba Hong looked at me, his eyes full of doubt.

I hurriedly said, "My hand is slipping."

And Tuoba Hong didn't suspect anything, just smiled faintly, "I will deal with state affairs first, and Rong'er will eat slowly." ”

After Tuoba Hong got up, I hurriedly sent him to the door, bowed respectfully, and watched him go.

I stood under the porch and looked up at the sky above Zhaoyang Palace, the morning sun was not warm, but a little cool.

I had a sudden throbbing pain in my head.

"Yinglin, help me in and rest."

Ying Lin saw that my face was pale, and hurriedly helped me to the bed with Zhu Yan.

"Master, did you catch a cold last night, do you want to send the imperial doctor to take a look?" Ying Lin was a little flustered.

I just waved my hand and said very weakly: "No, just rest in the palace for a while."

"There is still medicine in Bailang, and the slave and maid will go and bring it to the master." Yinglin helped me to the side of the bed and said.

I sat on the edge of the bed and waited for Yinglin to take my medicine.

It's been a while since I felt a headache, but recently my head started hurting again for some reason.

When Ying Lin handed me the medicine, looking at the small pill, Xiao Jingqi's bewitching face appeared in my mind again.

After putting the medicine in his mouth and eating it, Yinglin said in front of him, "Master, there is only one pill of medicine, do you want the slave to go to Bai Langzhong to get some more." ”

Speaking of Xiao Jingqi, I was stunned.

I lay down coldly, without giving any explanation to Yinglin.

Seeing that I was silent, Yinglin covered me with a brocade quilt and walked out lightly.

I fell asleep and fell asleep again.

In the dream, it is a peach blossom forest.

I'm running forward, heading into the peach blossom forest. I was angry and breathing fast.

Standing under the peach blossom tree, the clear young man's eyes sank when he saw me, and I felt that he was a little nervous when he saw me.

I slapped him in anger and showed no mercy.

I stared at him with a cold face and hatred.

He didn't fight back, just looked down at me, and called out my name with a hint of grievance, "Hu'er-"

"Don't call me, I'm not your son!" I said indignantly.

His face was marked with the red marks of my fingers, which must have hurt a lot, but he still looked at me in a daze.

I still glared at him and said angrily, "Jingqi, why you! ”

He opened his mouth but didn't say anything, and he pulled me into his arms and hugged me tightly with both hands.

"I'm all for you, please believe me, that's not what I intended."

I struggled to break free of him, staring at him with cold eyes, a twitch smile on the corner of my mouth, "I-I don't trust you anymore!" ”

"No, no, Hello—"

He panicked, and there was nowhere to put his hands.

I sneered, looked away from his face, and walked away without looking back.

The young man behind him was calling out in pain, "Zhu'er-Zhu'er-"

～～～～～～～～～～

The night was as cold as water, and on the glazed tiles on the roof of the white building in Nancheng, the man took off his night clothes and sat on the roof of the tallest building in Pingcheng with a melancholy expression.

He looked indifferently at Miyagi in the city, as if he had a clairvoyant eye, hoping to see her.

The cool wind blew through his long hair and stirred up the deep meaning in his eyes.

His thoughts drifted away, and memories flooded over him.

That year, his uncle's secret letter made him like a hot potato, and he couldn't lose it, and he never did.

He sat alone in the room for a long, long time, until his hands and feet were numb.

He was reluctant to return to the court, but he had to do so.

He lost her, and she saw him again.

He thought that he only needed to go back and come back quickly, but after he returned, he was trapped in the imperial court and seized power, but he couldn't leave.

He laughed sarcastically, laughing at himself for being stupid.

Stupid enough to take her away even if she was angry, then it wouldn't-

Huan'er will not become a "thousand-fingered witch", nor will she become a female demon who looks down on the hot and cold world, has resentment, and hatred in her heart.

He lay down, lying on the glazed tiles, looking at the starry sky.

He didn't know if she in Miyagi had dreamed of him in her dreams.

I wonder if she misses him too.

～～～～～～～～～～～

As soon as I got up in the morning, the palace maid of the Taihua Hall came to spread the word, saying that the Empress Dowager had summoned her.

Zhu Yan dressed me, packed himself, and led Zhu Yan to Taihua Hall to say hello.

The Empress Dowager still looked at me expressionlessly, and the coldness in her eyes made me feel worthless.

Even if she was silent to me, she had a dignified and majestic countenance that could not be offended.

I breathed calmly and waited for her question.

"I heard that Rong Guiren has lived in the Gao family's old mansion for two years."

The Empress Dowager asked me lightly.

"Yes." I replied respectfully to her.

"Because Shang Shuyoucheng's daughter was pushed into the river by you?"

I was stunned and didn't want to explain.

"Yes."

The Empress Dowager smiled indifferently, "In this palace, it is no better than outside the palace, and the emperor is not only a concubine, and the mourning family hopes that Rong Guiren will not bring the bad habits outside to the palace." ”

I was stunned, and the corners of my mouth twitched.

Of course I understand what the Empress Dowager means, and I think that I am the culprit and a person who loves to stir up trouble.

She thinks so, and what can I explain.

I chuckled and replied to her, "The concubine understands that the concubine will be a good concubine." ”

"This is the best, Hong'er likes you, and the mourning family doesn't say anything, but when you enter the palace, you have to have the rules of the palace and the face of the royal family."

I lowered my eyes, "The concubine remembered." ”

I came out of the Taihua Hall with a heavy head, breathing in the outside air, and I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

Looking at the inner courtyard of this deep palace, no matter how luxurious it is, I don't even feel that it is a place for me to stay.

I didn't go straight back to Zhaoyang Palace, but strolled through the palace garden.

I remembered last night's dream, in which Yihua and Xiao Jingqi were at odds, and they were very hateful.

I was very puzzled about what happened to Yi Hua and Xiao Jingqi many years ago, which made the two of them turn their faces.

Isn't there a concubine between the two of them, isn't there a deep love, why did there suddenly have that scene?

What did Xiao Jingqi do to make Yi Huan no longer trust him.

What year was that scene?

I suddenly realized, could it be that Xiao Jingqi left her because of something unpleasant between the two, so that she fell into the rivers and lakes and became the "Thousand-fingered Demon" that everyone feared?

Yi Huan can become a female demon, and Xiao Jingqi must be inseparable.

I stopped in front of a bayberry tree and looked at the bayberry trees that were full of them, and it was red.

I suddenly remembered the musician Xu Shaoling, at that time, she didn't come to Gaofu to teach me piano skills for a few days, I ran to her teaching workshop to look for her, and saw her drinking alone in the room, I stood next to her, quietly watching her.

When I was younger, I understood that she was very sad and wanted to use alcohol to anesthetize herself.

I was about to remove the flask from her hand with a pair of small hands, and she touched my face and said to me, it's okay, this is bayberry wine, don't get drunk.

I don't believe that there is no wine that cannot be drunk.

I was stunned by her side and asked her lightly, "Is there something sad about the master?" ”

Xu Shaoling's eyes were filled with tears, she pursed her lips and chuckled, looked at me and said, "Rong'er, when you grow up, you must not let yourself love someone deeply, if this is the case, you will lose." ”

When I was young, I didn't understand it at all, and when I think about it at this time, Shaoling just loved her too much, so she would make herself sad.

Yi Hua in the dream slapped Xiao Jingqi painfully, it should be that he loves him too deeply to have such pain.

But what did Xiao Jingqi do to make Yi Huan unforgivable?

I stopped thinking about it and continued to walk around the garden, and the bamboo inkstone followed me quietly.

It's him, Ji Yu, why is he here? The indifferent body stood quietly under the pear tree, looking up at the pear blossoms all over the tree.

I couldn't lift my feet, I didn't know whether to turn away or move on, I was so panicked that I didn't know what to do. Just as I was hesitating, Zhu Yan greeted Ji Yu in front of me, "I've seen His Royal Highness the King of Beihai!" ”

Seeing his gaze on me, I hurriedly avoided his gaze.

Ji Yu's light voice came, "The minister has seen Rong Guiren. ”

I couldn't run away anymore, so I had to look him in the face and smile softly. "It's a coincidence that His Highness also came to enjoy the flowers."

I really didn't know what to say, but the hand hidden in the long sleeve tightened the sleeve tightly so that I didn't get too nervous.

Ji Yu smiled slightly, and said softly, the younger brother entered the palace to talk about some political affairs with the imperial brother, and at the moment, he went to walk under the pear tree. This year's pear blossoms are in great bloom.

He once again fixed his gaze on the pear blossom tree.

I took a few steps closer to him and stared at him, but I had calmed down, just like a sister-in-law meeting my uncle, well-behaved and serious.

I asked him calmly, "Does Your Highness like Pear Blossom very much?" "I already knew that he loved pear blossoms as early as Mengxian Ju, but I never asked.

He fixed his gaze on my face again, staring at me with burning eyes. From his eyes, I saw reluctance, and I saw that it was still unforgettable.

I was about to turn my gaze sideways again, and he replied, "Yes." But that's before. Now I like chrysanthemums—"

I was stunned, and I understood the meaning of his words from his words. And he said it so obviously, anyone who knows that I like chrysanthemums will understand. Ji Yu just said these words, aren't you afraid that my slaves and maids will hear it if they hear it? I really don't know what he thinks.
