In the middle of sleep, it seemed to be raining outside the window.

I muttered and flipped over, and in a trance there seemed to be warm fingertips caressing my cheeks, trying to struggle to open my eyes, but the faint fragrance floating in my nose made people fall deeper into sleep.

What kind of dream is this...... The hibiscus flowers swayed in the wind, he and I stood side by side among the flowers and trees, the same white clothes and shadows, as in the past, the ten fingers interlocked, I looked back at him with a smile...... His eyes were doting......

The heart is sweet, snuggled into his arms, but there is no warmth in that embrace, looking up at him in doubt, but met with a cold gaze...... I only felt that the cold wind was biting around me, and when I looked down, I saw myself standing on the top of the cliff. Bao Yuan's eyes were opposite to me, he was afraid, and he reached out to pull him, but as soon as he touched the corner of his clothes, he was ruthlessly brushed off, and his heart ached violently......

Tears, blinded his eyes, but in despair, he was shocked to see the forbearance and uneasiness in his eyes, and in a trance he whispered in his ear:

Forgive me, forgive me~! I don't want you to face conspiracy and killing.

Rui'er, when I'm not by your side, you have to take good care of yourself, don't blame me, don't blame me!

Rui'er, forgive me~!

"Meng Lang, Meng Lang~~!" I woke up from my dream, and in the dim candlelight, I realized that I was in the purple silk tent, my face wet and the brocade pillow stained with tears.

Suddenly, in the dark, I saw something faintly beside the pillow, and when I took it and looked closely, it was the brocade box I left in the Changchun Palace.

It's him~! It must be him~!

"Ming'er~Ming'er~!" I called urgently.

"Sister~!" Ming'er came to look at me when she heard the sound.

"He's been here~! He's been here~! I shouted urgently, shaking Ming'er.

"Your Majesty...... I carried my sister into the house from the garden. Sister, the emperor obviously cares about you, but why he treats you like this, Ming'er doesn't understand. "I lowered my eyes, my heart was very confused, I knew that he had a hard time, but ......

"You said, the emperor carried me into the house, but why didn't I know at all?" When I asked Ming'er, I also asked myself, I couldn't sleep so dead.

"Hmm......" Ming'er's expression was embarrassed, and she stopped talking.

"What are you hiding from me?!" Now I am so scared, afraid of facing unreal words, unreal feelings, and unreal world. But I myself am the most unreal being.

"When we came from the Changchun Palace, Imperial Physician Ling specially gave Ning Shen medicine, saying that if my sister was too emotional or sad, she would ...... I put some in my sister's tea. Ming'er replied cautiously, looking at me uneasily.

Oh, it turned out to be because of the medicine.

Dizzy, I feel so heavy, and there seems to be the smell of ambergris on Bao Yuan's body between my noses. I rolled over and lay down, feeling my whole body aching, and I didn't want to say a word, and I fell back into the endless dream.

A few days later, Yi Jing came to see me.

Fang sat down, saw that her eyes were red, held her hand and asked, "Sister, what's wrong?" ”

"Rui'er, you've suffered, are you okay?" Jingyi was full of concern, took my hand and looked around, and said: "This place is so remote, you don't want to bring more palace people to take care of it, and I don't know when the emperor will be able to lift the ban and ...... in the future" Speaking of this, he sighed deeply and did not say any more.

In the current situation, I didn't care much, but how Bao Yuan decided to increase troops on the front line made me suspenseful, so I asked Jingyi.

Sure enough, Bao Yuan still obeyed the intention of Zhang Ye and other generals to increase tens of thousands of troops on the front line, but he didn't know that it could be effective in Guanzhong.

My heart hung all day, restless, hoping that Jingyi could come to see me and bring news, but since she left that day, there has been no news.

At the end of the month, Jin Yan sent the old copy of the "Diamond Sutra" at the behest of the Queen Mother and asked me to copy it for her. asked her about the recent situation in the palace, Jinyan only said that everything was fine, the queen mother sincerely worshiped the Buddha, and the affairs of the court were no longer too much to ask, and everything was decided by the emperor himself.

Seeing that she avoided the important and trivialized her words, she knew that something big must have happened, and asked again and again, and Jinyan was willing to tell the truth. It turned out that Baoyuan's increase in troops to enter Guanzhong was defeated and returned in less than half a month. In this way, the large-scale military operations of the three divisions of Shu to seize Guanzhong ended in failure. In such a situation, Bao Yuan ......

"Then the emperor, is he okay?" After hesitating again and again, I couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty, it's okay!" Jin Yan said easily.

"Really? Sister, don't lie to me. "I know that Jinyan has never lied, she is a person with precepts, and if it weren't for something of the utmost importance, she wouldn't be like that.

"The emperor is really fine, it's just ......" Jinyan tugged at the silk handkerchief in his hand, his eyes dodging and uneasy.

"Just what? Sister, tell me quickly. Is there someone who embarrass the emperor? "I'm so afraid that what my mother said will happen in advance, so I said in a hurry.

"No, it's not ......" Jinyan hurriedly waved his hand and said to me: "How can anyone be difficult for the emperor, who dares to embarrass the emperor?" As long as it's not hard for him to ...... for himself"

How did this sound so strange that I wondered, "Is he difficult for himself?" Sister, what do you say? ”

After this defeat, the emperor's temperament suddenly changed greatly...... My sister knows that the emperor has always been diligent in government and loves the people, and he has advocated thrift in the palace, but these days, the emperor has often stopped drinking and feasting, and he has drunk himself several times......"

What the? Bao Yuan is at this juncture! I Huo stood up, pulled Jinyan and said hurriedly: "Then why didn't the queen mother dissuade the emperor?" How could the Queen Mother allow the emperor to do this? ”

"This is also the place I don't understand the most, the queen mother has been urging the emperor very strictly, and the emperor only obeys the queen mother's orders, but this time I don't know why, the queen mother summoned the emperor to Qinghe Palace not long after, it was rumored that the emperor confronted the queen mother in person, and even brushed his sleeves away, so the queen mother has been so angry that she has been sick in bed for several days." When Jin Yan said this, she couldn't hide her worry on her face.

Bao Yuan collided with the Queen Mother, how is this possible? I shook my head in disbelief and said to Jinyan: "The emperor has always been benevolent and filial, how could he contradict the queen mother, is it because someone is spreading falsehoods." ”

"This matter is what I heard Zhou Shanggong say with my own ears, how can it be fake, besides, the Queen Mother is sick and bedridden, and it is also diagnosed and treated by Imperial Doctor Ling herself."

"Then now, now......" If this is the case, then the former dynasty does not know what kind of chaos will become.

"Alas, now the mother and other old ministers are begging to see the emperor outside the Chongguang Palace all day long, but the emperor always avoids it."

"Then, what does the emperor do every day?"

"I heard that the emperor has often taken Liluo and the palace maid named 'Ruicao' with him recently, drinking tea and playing music all day long, and staying in Xuanhua Garden."

This...... Baoyuan, what is this going to do? I'm getting more and more confused.

Sending Jinyan away, distraught, I helped Ming'er to take a walk in the courtyard, and suddenly heard someone outside the courtyard talking......

"Ming'er, let's go over and have a look."

"Yes, sister."

Ming'er and I slowly approached, and across the flowers and trees, I saw a middle-aged eunuch pointing to a palace maid standing among the flowers.

"Which palace are you from, how can you say that you don't listen, you can't pick flowers here, do you hear it!"

"Hey, are you deaf? Why not answer? ”

"Hey, if you don't talk back, you're welcome."

The inner eunuch's voice was high-pitched, and he thought he was so angry that he was pointing to the heavens and the earth, but the palace maid didn't raise her head, but slowly picked the peach blossoms and pear blossoms, and some flowers that I didn't quite name.
