Chapter Forty-Eight: Breaking the String

The night was as dark as ink.

When the blade in Situ Yizheng's hand swung towards her, An Ruofei knew that he was going to die.

"Ahh An Ruofei opened her eyes suddenly, although it was a dream, the tip of her nose and forehead were already covered with fine beads of sweat.

In the dead of night, An Ruofei could no longer sleep.

Draped her coat over her shoulders, lit the red wax on the candlestick, and the miserable moonlight shone in through the window paper, An Ruofei curled up and sat quietly in front of the bed, the sense of relief from the dream had just surfaced in her heart, but the cold reason pulled her back to the precarious reality.

She rummaged through the bedside suitcase with a little irritability, until everything in the box had been turned to the floor, and a small celadon vase came out.

An Ruofei stared at the small porcelain bottle that he was holding tightly in his hand, his eyes were entangled with reluctance and determination, and after the struggle, the determination still completely overshadowed the reluctance.

The moon outside the window is about to be full, and this ice disk-like moon is the same as the night of the palace banquet last year...... Although the moon has not changed, the mood of the moon admirer has changed. An Ruofei looked at the ice disk-like moon, and his face was also full of light moonlight. Although the butcher's knife hanging from her neck did not know when it would fall, she calmed down.

Life and love, how many people have chosen the right one in ancient times?

But An Ruofei knew what he wanted in his heart. After thinking about it for a long time, she still put the small porcelain vase close to her...... In any case, at least he won't regret it, An Ruofei thought.

The shadow of the lamp was faint, and the shadow of her crouching desk was reflected on the wall. An Ruofei hung his wrist and dipped the thick ink in it, but he was never able to put pen to paper...... Just a few words, An Ruofei still changed and changed. Half an hour had passed, and there were several crumpled balls of paper on the table.

At dawn, An Ruofei's last stroke finally fell, just two or three lines of graceful fly-headed letters, but it did write most of the night. When the ink was dry, she carefully folded the rice paper and put it into her bag.

"Get jade."

Hearing An Ruofei's call, Lang Yu hurriedly pushed the door in.

"Early tomorrow morning, you will send this to Xifu Begonia Courtyard, and you must personally hand it over to Xi Gongzi."

After figuring out some things, An Ruofei was not sad, looking at the sun gradually rising outside the window, she was rarely tired...... But before she could go to bed, an unexpected person came to her courtyard.

When Xu Jinse came, the sky was already bright.

Since the night in Xu Jinse's garden, the two have never met, and when they saw Xu Jinse again, her face was still that terrifying appearance, but the cold and resolute temperament on her body was similar to the bitterness when she first saw and cried that night.

In any case, Xu Jinse is An Ruofei's elder in the end, and she is the sister of her respected aunt, how much does she complain in her heart...... An Ruofei still called her aunt respectfully.

Xu Jinse's cold gaze swept over the peiyu on her waist, and said with a little resentment: "Jade is a good jade...... It's just that such a good jade has to be worn in the right place. ”

This piece of jade was given to her by the emperor on the night of the palace banquet last year, and she rarely carried it with her...... If it weren't for the covenant today, she wouldn't have given it out.

"Appropriate...... After all, it is Peiyu's people who count. Since this piece of jade belongs to me, I will naturally let it be worn in the right place. ”

"Jade and people are the same, jade has to be carefully carved to become a tool...... People must also cultivate themselves and be prudent in order to excel. You are now in charge of a government, and some places ...... Or be careful. ”

An Ruofei paused slightly, looked at Xu Jinse with deep eyes, and said seriously after a while: "What you said...... I'll take it to heart. ”

"Just keep it in mind? It should be done. ”

Xu Jinse's eyes drifted to the side, and An Ruofei found that although her eyes were always faint, they were indescribably clear...... It is not difficult to imagine what kind of natural beauty Xu Jinse was back then, peerless.

But it was also because of such beauty that she had to bear the pain of a lifetime, and at this time, An Ruofei's heart hesitated.

After two teas, Xu Jinse spoke: "I'm leaving, as a Si Le, I should report to you." ”

"Let's go?" An Ruofei was a little surprised, Xu Jinse had lived in Chongdu for more than ten years, and she had such a look, she couldn't imagine what kind of situation she would be in after leaving, "Where to go?" ”

"Chongdu City has been in Chongdu City for so many years, and what should have been seen through it has already been seen through...... Leaving this place and finding a Lanruo ancient temple can be regarded as a relief. ”

"Green Lantern Ancient Buddha...... Have you thought about it? ”

"I'm here, why didn't I think about it?"

Hearing this answer, while expected, An Ruofei was also quite emotional. Xu Jinse's life is like an epiphany, even if it blooms...... It only opened in the first half of the night, when the morning sun slowly rose, that is, when she fell. Although it can be a flash in the country, it is only a flashy scene after all; Although it makes people haunt their dreams in the morning and twilight, the only thing that can be left to themselves is the cocoon...... There is also the loneliness that follows after the curtain call.

"Then I'll get you out of town, what can I do...... That's all there is to it. ”

A green cloth carriage carried Xu Jinse and An Ruofei out of the city gate, and at the city gate, Xu Jinse instructed An Ruofei: "If your aunt is in the sky, she will definitely not be happy to see you like this." ”

An Ruofei followed Xu Jinse's words and looked at the sky, and said in a daze: "If this is the case, I only hope that my aunt will have no soul in the sky." ”

Although these words were a little rebellious, Xu Jinse was not angry when she heard it, she smiled suddenly: "That's it, I don't understand you, you don't understand me, maybe you and I are destined to be widows and lonely people." ”

An Ruofei exhaled fiercely: "It's enough for you to be alone, I don't want to." ”

Leaving Chongdu City, even if it is only on the edge of the city, Xu Jinse is a rare ease and joy, leaving Chongdu, a sad place that has trapped her for more than ten years, means relief for her.

Xu Jinse responded briskly: "I hope so, I don't want to see you follow in my footsteps." The situation in Chongdu City is unpredictable, you should be careful in everything. ”

An Ruofei bowed his head lightly and said to Xu Jinse: "Wish: If you can't catch it, fly to chase the shock." ”

The clouds on the horizon of Chongdu City are rolling, and the wheels are rolling, carrying Xu Jinse away.

Seeing Xu Jinse away, An Ruofei stood silently at the gate of Chongdu City. Xu Jinse was relieved, but An Ruofei's road ahead was still extremely difficult, and after a long time, she resolutely stepped into Chongdu City, leaving a narrow back at the city gate behind her.

And in her hands, a clever object was gently held. This small crossbow is about the size of a palm, and on the crossbow is a small arrow, which is about the same length as the crossbow, and the design is ingenious. It seems small, but it can easily kill others.

This was left by Xu Jinse to An Ruofei before leaving, before that...... This small crossbow was once the emperor's favorite. The Si people have gone, and only this thing is left for thought. And this crossbow is just like its former owner, named Broken Zhu String.

Zhu string is broken, the mirror is missing, the morning dew, the time of the fang, the white head is groaning, the wound is parting, the brocade soup soup, and the gentleman is long!

Perhaps when the emperor handed over this broken vermilion string to Xu Jinse, he never thought that they would have a long recipe...... But these are not her past, An Ruofei didn't want to think about it.
