Since June, the weather has become hotter and hotter, and my body has become weaker and weaker, and I often feel out of breath after a short walk. Whenever Ling Xuan came to ask for peace pulse, he always had to persuade a lot.

In fact, I also know that this weakness and powerlessness is not because of any real problems with my body, but because of my depressed and uneasy mind.

Counting it up, it has been a hundred days since I was grounded today, and looking at the red beans on the desk, which has been half a bottle, I pulled the corners of my mouth and smiled bitterly. Since I came here, I put a red bean in that glass bottle every day. This thing is the most lovesick, the person I miss every day, will he also miss me for a moment?

These 100 days are like a hundred years, and the feeling of worrying about the stomach is like a cat's claws scratching the heart, bloody but there is no way. When the body and mind are blurred by the flesh and blood gnawed by the thoughts, a boundless resentment grows like crazy, like a ivy, wrapping around everything in front of him.

I also know that I am getting more and more moody, sometimes the slightest noise will make me irritable, but I will not be angry with others, and I don't want Ming'er to worry about me, whenever my heart starts to be manic, I will clench my fists so that the long nails will sink into the palm of my hand, and the stinging pain will start to spread......

Every day, there are always a few hours, I will stand alone under the hibiscus tree by the Dragon Leap Pool, looking at the heavy palaces on the other side of the smoke wave, thinking about nothing, just looking, all the time.

At the end of June, night feasts in the palace became more and more frequent.

Jin Yan came once at the behest of the Empress Dowager, took away the "Diamond Sutra" that I had copied earlier, and replaced it with a copy of the "Lengyan Sutra" and asked me to copy it. Jinyan said that I am the queen mother, the queen mother does not like the commotion in the palace, and will soon take the emperor's grandson and Fengyi to Zhaojue Temple to escape the summer, and Jingyi and her are also in the entourage.

I listened, silent. After telling her for a long time to pay attention to safety, Jinyan also wanted to speak and stopped, but she just pulled me to give instructions and reluctance.

On the sixth day of the seventh month, Liang Shouzhen brought the palace people of the Shangshi Bureau to send "lotus dishes", and a lotus feast was held in the Taoist palace for three consecutive days.

Copper reed sheng flute heavy floor dance. The more lively the palace banquet became, the more frightened I became, and such prosperity only indicated that the killing in this palace was approaching day by day.

I couldn't express my worries, so I moved out of Yaoqin, but I didn't know what to play. After thinking about it for a while, he casually popped up a song of Cai Yong's "Remembering the Old Man".

The melody that should have been euphemistic and lingering, when I found it, I had already played the piano so that the sound was scattered and scattered, and I played it to the fourth section, only to feel that my heart was sad and abnormal, and my eyes were very sour.

Suddenly, I noticed that someone was listening to the hibiscus tree, and I suddenly broke the strings.

Looking closely, there was some surprise, how could it be him?

Liluo appeared from the shadow of the tree and saluted me respectfully.

I haven't seen him for a long time, and I have almost forgotten that there is such a person in the palace, what is his purpose in coming here? I was on full alert and got up from the table.

"I think of the beauty of the world, and I can't forget it. (1) "He spoke the piano text of "Remembering the Old Man" and stood tall under the peach branches.

"Mr. Li's coming here is not just to remember the old people, right?" I got straight to the point, and I didn't have a good tone.

"I heard that Niangniang's phoenix body was discordant, and Imperial Doctor Ling was helpless, so Weichen came to ask for a pulse."

"Don't bother Mr. Lao, you better go back." I stiffened and stiffly rejected him.

The most incomprehensible thing in this palace is this Liluo, whether he is an enemy or a friend, whether he is loyal or a traitor, it is impossible to tell at all, just in terms of his intricate relationship with the Zhang family, as well as his confusing behavior that is different from ordinary people...... However, Bao Yuan knew this, but he was so fond of him, this person, his whole person exuded a dangerous message, which made me never dare to believe it.

"Weichen was ordered to come, and I asked Niangniang not to be embarrassed......" Liluo's attitude was respectful, which made it difficult for people to refuse.

"On orders? Did the emperor ask you to come? Listening to what he said, my heart warmed, and my tone softened.

Liluo didn't answer directly, but smiled slightly: "In short, it is a person who cares about Niangniang's body, please sit down and let Weichen take the pulse." ”

I pondered for a moment, then reached out to Liluo to take his pulse.

Liluo put the two fingers of his right hand lightly on my wrist, lowered his eyes and pondered, and looked at my face again for a long time, I saw that his eyebrows were slightly closed, but in an instant, he returned to the normal state of expressionlessness.

"Does Niangniang often feel grumpy and restless lately, and often have insomnia and dreams at night?" Off Lo Dao.

"That's true, these Imperial Doctors Ling have already been diagnosed and have also used medicine."

"Then Imperial Physician Ling, does Niangniang know that Niangniang has taken Weichen's 'Requiem Powder'?" Liluo's tone was ordinary, but I felt my heart pound when I listened to it.

"This ......"

"I think no matter how clever Imperial Doctor Ling's medical skills are, it is impossible for him to know this!" Li Luo smiled slightly, and as he spoke, he took out a thin porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to me.

"What is this?" I hesitated to pick it up.

"Requiem." Li Luo's answer was simple and clear, he straightened his sleeves, and said again: "Niangniang, do you know that the pass is near?" ”

"What pass?" My eyelids jumped.

"In this life, there are many passes, but it doesn't matter, when the time comes, you will be able to turn evil into good fortune. It's just that thinking too much hurts the spirit, it's useless, the world is supposed to be like this, and thinking too much won't change anything, it's better to follow fate. Liluo's words sound mysterious and mysterious.

"Hongu doesn't understand."

"Then the mother will naturally understand." He said the time to take the medicine, then got up and left.

This night, perhaps because of the requiem, I slept peacefully until dawn without a dream. When I got up in the morning, I was refreshed and fresh, and after I finished freshening up, I suddenly wanted to eat Hu Biscuits, and told Ming'er to do it.

Ming'er saw that I was in good spirits, and I thought about eating and drinking, so I was very happy, and I hurriedly went to prepare.

I went to the edge of the Dragon Leap Pond alone, the early morning sun shone on the sparkling blue waves, and the wind and lotus in the water stood in the layers of mist, there was an unreal beauty.

At this moment, I heard footsteps behind me, thinking that Ming'er was calling me to have breakfast, pointing to the pool and saying to her: "Ming'er, look, this lotus blooms so well...... suddenly remembered that today is the second day of Baoyuan's "lotus banquet" in the palace, I felt sad, sighed, and couldn't go on.

"Do you like that flower very much?" It was a man's voice, and I turned my head in shock, Zhang Jizhao was standing behind me so stupidly.

"You, what are you doing again?" At the first sight of him, my heart beat wildly, and I looked at him with full vigilance because of the unpleasant experiences I had with him.

"I'm coming to see you."

"I don't want to come to pity me, you go, you go......" The way was blocked by him, and behind him was Long Yuechi, because of nervousness, my voice trembled slightly.

He seemed to turn a deaf ear to my words, and looked past me to Long Yuechi, "I didn't expect your lotus flowers to bloom better here than anywhere else." The expression on his face was inexplicable.

I didn't want to entangle with him too much, so I was about to leave, but he reached out and blocked my way.

"What are you trying to do here?" I shouted in annoyance.

"I guess you'll like this flower, so ......," he said, taking out a piece of Xiuhe from behind him and handing it to me.

"I don't want it." I brushed his hand away, turning my face away, not wanting to look at him.

He turned around and placed the flowers on the stone table.

I don't know what he wants, true or false, I ran over angrily regardless of my demeanor, "You take it~!" Take~! If you want me to go to the Forbidden Garden, your brothers and sisters will be willing? Let's go~! Walk! He threw Xiuhe in the chest.

"I ......." he stammered, looking indistinguishable.

"Niangniang told you to go~! You Zhang brothers and sisters together bully my sister. "Ming'er trotted all the way in front of me, and dared to push him.

His figure did not move, only stared at me gloomily, and then resolutely turned away.

I turned and sat down on the stone bench, stunned.

This Jizhao is my biggest disaster. For a moment, his mind flickered, and a scene in the dream realm of the soul jumped out in front of him...... Is this the so-called causal entanglement, no, no, it must not be, it can't be him, I shook my head heavily.

On July 16, Liang Shouzhen sent a brown lacquered wooden box, and when he left, I opened the lid and was shocked, Ming'er was unreasonable, and asked, "Sister, what is this?" ”

"Chinese medicine."

"Plain, how could Father-in-law Liang send Chinese medicine, isn't it the emperor's ......" Ming'er looked at me nervously.

"It's fine, it's just two ordinary herbs." I took the box of Chinese herbs in my hand, and repeatedly recited in my heart: Cassia seed, angelica!

Could it be that the killing is tomorrow? Bao Yuan, do you want to tell me that my days of grounding are coming to an end?

Another sleepless night.

In Chengdu in July, the heat is steaming the earth.

I sat in the courtyard and stared blankly at the lights on the south bank, the lights of the Chongguang Temple lit the lights a few times and then went out, he should not dare to sleep for a moment like me at this moment, right?

Meng Lang, when are you going to do it? Are you ready? If Zhang Ye can't be eliminated in one fell swoop, then ...... The history of Shu only sparsely appeared in my mind, and many people and things were only known here, but this karma was remembered, and it would not be wrong, I comforted myself.

But are these histories, which have long been submerged in the years, really as recorded by later generations? If there is anything wrong with it, then, that...... Anxiety and confusion spread in my heart, Ming'er came to persuade me a few times, but I refused to go to bed, only told her to sleep first.

When I got up to the ugliness, I finally gave up, and I leaned on the chaise longue in a trance and took a nap.

Suddenly, I woke up to the fact that the sky outside the window was dimly shining, and Ming'er was replacing the candles that were about to burn out.

"What time is it?" I asked

"Sister, it's just the end of the day, you can sleep again." Ming'er replied to me quietly with nothing in her heart.

I jumped up, it's been an hour since the morning came, did you do it?

I got up in a panic, washed up hastily and went to stay in the courtyard, what am I afraid of, don't I believe in history? Although Bao Yuan has been planning for a long time, Zhang Ye and Zhang Jizhao's father and son, one is good at fighting, the other is good at martial arts and swords, and the power of the Zhang family is intertwined in the court, and there is still military power in hand, which is not easy to deal with.

After another hour, Ming'er brought breakfast, and I was restless and didn't know the taste of food.

She only thought I was in a bad mood, silently accepted the stone table, brought out the pipa for me and said, "Sister hasn't practiced it for a long time." I took it, plucked a few strings, and pressed it again, and I was stunned.

The sun shone brightly on the stone table, a little dazzling, and when I looked back, I saw flower scissors in the bamboo basket. I looked at it for a moment, put the lute down, and carefully tucked the flower clippers into my sleeves and hid them.

If there is a ...... I held the scissors in my sleeve and thought to myself...... No, Bao Yuan will be safe, he will be able to get his wish, I shook my head and comforted myself.

Ming'er went to pick mulberries, time seemed to stand still, and I don't know how long it had passed!

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound behind the hibiscus tree, and I stood up alertly, holding the flower in my hand and looking at it.

Zhang Jizhao knocked out of the flowers and trees, his left arm was dripping with blood, his body was covered in blood in green clothes, and there were several obvious knife wounds.

He staggered over and reached out to grab me, and I stepped back sharply, sweating with my right hand holding the scissors.

When I retreated behind the stone table, he was exhausted, holding the stone table with one hand, and only grabbing the cuff on my left side with the other, his eyes were bloodshot, and he gasped heavily, "Stamen...... Come with me, quick, I'll take you away...... I'm not as mean as he is...... I will treat you well. ”

I was stunned and frightened, I thought he was here to take me hostage, but I didn't expect it......
