Chapter XXXIV Introduction

After Li Zilang inquired about Bai Langzhong's residence, he carried two bags of gifts and asked Li Minxin to follow him to Youyuzhuang to thank Bai Rui.

It wasn't Bai Rui's rescue that day, maybe Li Min's heart was poisonous.

Lizilang knocked on the door outside Youyu Village, and after Yu Bo, the housekeeper of the village, opened the door, Li Min explained his intentions.

But Yu Bo refused to let them in, telling them that Lang Zhong had gone out and was not at home.

Since Lang Zhong was not there, Li Min was not good enough to ask to go in again.

Lizilang gave the gift to Yu Bo to Langzhong, since they came to thank him, they couldn't take the gift back.

Yu Bo had no choice but to accept the gift, and told them with great certainty that he would definitely convey the Li family's gratitude.

After Yu Bo took the things into the village, Cheng You opened them and checked them.

Bai Rui practiced swords in the plum orchard in the manor, it was already in the depths of winter, the plum trees only had branches, no leaves, and the bare branches were extremely cold under the north wind.

Cheng You waited not far away to watch, and waited for Bai Rui to collect his sword before informing the Li family brothers and sisters.

Bai Rui sat in the pavilion, and Yi'er was busy pouring hot tea.

After taking a sip of the teacup, he slowly asked, "How's it going?" ”

Cheng You replied respectfully, "Li Minxin had an argument with Miss Senior High School two years ago......

Bai Rui raised his eyes to look at him, and Cheng You told him about Gao Zhaorong pushing Li Minxin into the water by the moat two years ago.

After hearing this, Bai Rui lowered his eyelids indifferently, and only then did he understand the reason why Li Minxin deliberately targeted Gao Zhaorong in the Rencheng Palace.

It was she who caused Rong'er to leave Pingcheng and go back to the old house for two years, if it weren't for Rong'er's mother's illness, Rong'er would not have returned to Pingcheng.

If Rong'er hadn't been in distress halfway and came to the Valley of the Hidden Forest by accident, he wouldn't have seen her.

If he won't see it, he won't know it, so he won't know that there is such a "her" in this world.

Bai Rui chuckled, not knowing whether he should thank Li Minxin for the dispute two years ago, or the people who let Rong'er fall off the cliff halfway.

Maybe you shouldn't be grateful, it's because you have a fate with her.

It's the relationship between himself and Huan'er that continues.

But there are so many people who stop his fate, how can he resolve it.

The Emperor of Great Wei and the King of Beihai are not easy characters to deal with.

Bai Rui sneered, it just so happened that staying in this Northern Wei realm, not only because of state affairs, but also because of state affairs, he wanted to bring it back with Gao Zhaorong.

His deep eyes sank coldly, and he indifferently asked Cheng You again, "Gao Zhaorong is still in Lan Ruoyuan?" ”

Cheng You replied respectfully, "Yes." ”

Bai Rui smiled and said to himself, "Tuoba Hong wants to keep her by his side-"

Cheng You asked tentatively and softly, "Then how is Master Hou going to prepare?" ”

Bai Rui smiled evilly, but was silent.

He seemed to have an idea of his own.

In the Yueyue Building, Nangong Ni sat quietly in his room, looking at the guqin on the table, pondering.

She recalled the song played by Gao Zhaorong at the birthday banquet of Princess Rencheng, which was a wonderful song by her musician Xu Shaoling. Once upon a time, she secretly listened to it on the side, but Shaoling did not teach it to her.

Nangong Ni remembered that night, under the moonlight, Shaoling musician was alone in the pavilion playing the piano, and he was in a very bad mood. It was the song that played the green mountains and flowing water.

That night, after listening to it secretly, she wanted to find a musician the next day to learn this song, but the next day, when Nangong Ni knocked on Xu Shaoling's door, there was no one in the room, so she only left a letter to Nangong Ni, informing Nangong Ni that the master was going to travel far away, and there was no hope of returning.

Nangong Ni was only twelve years old that year, but she was already sensible, and she could clearly see that Xu Shaoling was in an unhappy mood and seemed to be forced to leave.

And the man who made the musician care about it all the time didn't stay long, and even when Nangong Ni found him, he asked him, why didn't he keep the musician?

The man just said to her coldly, "What do you know about a child!" ”

At that time, Nangong Ni was very angry and said stubbornly, "I'm not young anymore, I'm twelve." ”

The man looked at her, touched her head, and smiled, "Twelve is also a child." ”

"No, in another three years, I can marry you."

Nangong Ni said it rightly.

The man was silent and looked at her indifferently, "You can't have such thoughts. ”

Nangong Ni was puzzled, "Why not, because Brother Jingqi has a young musician in his heart?" ”

There was a faint shadow on the man's handsome and evil face, "No, because I already have someone else in my heart." ”

Nangong Ni immediately thought of the painting and asked, "Is it the woman in the painting on the wall of Brother Jingqi's study?" ”

The man was silent, but had already given her an answer.

Nangong Ni ran away with a little sadness, but she was still unwilling and still loved him as always.

I thought that Xu Shaoling would come back, but I didn't expect that after that night, Nangong Ni never saw her again.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Tuoba Hong's strength, I really felt helpless, so I had to say to him, "The woman on this painting is the person that Rong'er wants the eldest brother to find, if the emperor likes Rong'er's painting, Rong'er will give the emperor a copy of the painting, and this painting will be given to the eldest brother, okay?" ”

Tuoba Hong seemed to be very satisfied, so he nodded in agreement.

Before Gao Shouwen left Lan Ruoyuan, I specifically instructed me to look for it.

As soon as my eldest brother left, Takubahiro stuck to me and asked me to draw myself.

He actually helped me grind on the side, so I had to pick up the paintbrush, think about it, and draw the woman named Huan'er who looked like me in my dream.

There is no difference between her appearance and mine, just the charm is different.

After the last stroke, Takubahiro looked at my drawing seriously.

A smile escaped from Tuoba Hong's lips, "It's very similar, you have a different flavor in the painting." ”

When I heard this, I was very sure that the woman named Huan'er was really like me, but who was she?

I said casually, "Does the emperor think that the woman in the painting is someone else?" ”

Tuoba Hong thought my words were funny, and said with a smile, "How can it be someone else, isn't this Rong'er you?" ”

Before I was sure whether my dream was real or not, how could I say that there was another person, so I had to smile faintly, "Of course it's me." ”

At night, the wind was biting, and the brazier in my room was burning with fine silver carbon, and the whole room was as warm as spring. A small copper stove on the table, light smoke curling, with the cool breeze sent in from the window, diffused a room of refreshing sandalwood scent.

The slave maid in Lan Ruoyuan waited for me to remove my makeup, and her movements were very light and soft, for fear of hurting me.

This slave who served me was named Qian'er, and she was beautiful and lovely. In the past few days, she has been by my side in Lan Ruoyuan, and it was arranged by Tuoba Hong.

After she removed the makeup from my head, I looked back at the incense burner on the table, which was emitting green cigarettes.

In the past few days, the incense in the incense burner has been placed and burned by Qian'er herself, and its faint fragrance can make people sleep with peace of mind.

"It smells good." I smiled slightly.

Qian'er replied to me, "Miss likes it." ”

But I felt something similar, as if I had smelled it somewhere.

Its fragrance is very special, you can't feel it without a good sense of smell, and there is another fragrance in the sandalwood fragrance.

When Qian'er waited for me to go up to the bed and was about to fall asleep, I suddenly remembered that in the valley of the forest, I had burned incense, and the spice was found in that house, and the smell of burning was very similar to the smell coming out of the incense burner at this time.

Maybe the same spice.

I really like this spice, though.

Smelling the aroma, I slowly fell asleep.

Once again, I was in a deep nightmare.

The picture in the dream is Gaofu again, and the girl in the dream is still her young self.

I was swinging, and a servant woman behind me was pushing me, and the swing was swinging high, and I was very happy.

In the garden came the young Gao Li and the eldest lady, who looked at me with disdain.

I saw that they did not get up and salute, and that the servants behind me were very respectful.

"Lady, Miss."

I didn't like the two of them very much, and looked at Gao Li and the eldest lady with a cold and stupid look, and smiled softly.

Gao Li looked at me with disdain and said to her mother, "Look at her stupidity, I don't know if it's true or not?"

The eldest lady sneered and said: "After she fell into the water and woke up, that's it, so quiet that she didn't say a word, and it was difficult to speak when she saw anyone. She's like this, Li'er, what are you doing with her! ”

Gao Li chuckled, "yes, I'm talking to an autistic kid about something!" Mother, let's go. ”

I watched them leave, feeling nothing of their ignorance and indifference.

The servant woman beside me said: "Second Miss, I heard that the Second Lady said that she invited a piano master to teach you how to play the piano, and she may have come to the house at this time, do you want to take a look?"

"Okay." I snapped and got off the swing.

The servant woman led me along and cared for me.

As I passed the small stone road in the front yard of the uninhabited Qiyan Pavilion, I quietly glanced at the closed gate.

I was terrified of it, and every time I walked this way, I felt scared.

The scene in the dream quickly flipped to another scene, and it changed to me writing, and I was writing alone.

The time of the dream is at night, and there is an oil lamp in front of the table, and the light flickers from time to time. I seemed very cold and silent at a young age.

Under the light, I was repeating the Qiyan Pavilion.

I wrote one after another, and kept writing, and after writing, I put it under the oil lamp and burned it, for fear that others would find out that I was writing these words.

Then, after sitting stunned for a long time, I looked like a fool and whispered softly: "Mother, why, why ......"

My words were so light that only I could hear them.

In the whole dream, I couldn't figure it out—

I woke up from my dream with a soft mob in my mouth: "Why......"

Looking up at the curtain above his head, he remembered his dreams...

What are you looking for in your dreams? What's the mystery?

Why do you keep asking, "Mother, why is this?" ”

I don't understand why I dreamed of my childhood self again, why I dreamed about those things. Are those things true or false? Or is it just a dream.

These dreams may be the awakening of memories, these dreams may be their own past, and now they are recovering their memories one by one.

It must be so.

But why do I write "Qiyan Pavilion" in my dreams over and over again, is there anything there that should be remembered?

I seem to understand something - there is a secret in the Qiyan Pavilion.

It became the secret of the forbidden courtyard, the secret of the assassination of the third aunt that night, the woman who threw me into the lotus pond must be a past that I cannot forget.

But the eldest brother said that his father had not found out about the assassin that night.

But if I did, why didn't I tell that woman when I came back from the dead?

Why is that?

Why didn't I tell me about the woman I had met?

Could it be for a reason?

It must be so.

It was already dawn, and Qian'er brought washing water.

The whole time I washed, I was still thinking about my dreams.

Shaoling musician came to me after I drowned in the lotus pond and rescued my life, and it was a musician invited by my mother.

Maybe it was my mother who saw that I was unhappy and depressed from then on, so she hired a musician to teach me how to play an instrument, so that my life could be richer and happier.

Mother should be kind to me.

But why didn't I feel it at all when I went home this time?

I really don't understand.

Something must have happened in the middle of this to make my mother so indifferent to me that she has no maternal love.

I've got to figure it out.

I have to go back to my house and find out what happened that night in the Wild Goose Pavilion.

It is definitely impossible to let Tuoba Hong let me go back at this time, and he is still insisting that I need to rest more and take care of my body.

I'll have to go back on my own, and I can't let him know yet.

But during the day he always stuck to me and wouldn't let me out of his sight, and it was only at night.

Okay, then wait until the evening.
