"The women who stayed with him, you only saw their brilliance, but life may not be easy......"
Su Jinling's eyes suddenly crossed Zhang Wanbai's uncontrollable jealous gaze even though he hid it very deeply, and something suddenly brightened in his heart.
"So, who is it protecting? Who was punished? Only that person knows best. ”
"But," she looked at the gloomy door, "my mother waits for him every day, even if she was ...... He was forced to do so, but after so many years, couldn't he even look at her? ”
Yuwen Xuancang looked at her seriously, her body was slightly deviated, and the various eyes of the group of women turned over without hesitation.
"You forgot what your mother said when you left the house?"
Mo Yuan'er said, I understand.
"In this world, the more cherished things are, the easier it is to be coveted by others. I think you must understand this truth! ”
Yes, she understands now, but Mo Yuan'er has seen through everything since the beginning, but she is still waiting, waiting for an impossibility. More than ten years have flown by in this silent understanding and love, maybe what she is waiting for is just the relative of today's moment. His arrival, his whisper, the seventeen years of waiting was worth it. Just by the sudden brilliance, you can know that at this moment, she is the happiest woman in the world!
"If," she bit her lip, "if one day you are far away from me, isn't it...... Is it also my protection? ”
Yuwen Xuancang's heart was shocked, and he suddenly remembered Mo Yuan'er's whisper.
His thoughts were sluggish for a moment, but he suddenly heard a roar burst out of the door, tearing his heart out.
"Kite ......"
Su Jinling suddenly felt empty under her feet.
Yuwen Xuancang hurriedly supported her.
She struggled to rush into the room, but at this moment, suddenly a cry came from inside the door, first low, depressed, and then unstoppably surging out, like a surging river, wave after wave, dyeing the sky over this splendid early summer into a haze.
Su Jinling stood at the door, but his raised hand didn't have the strength to push open the hidden door.
Zhang Wanbai finally tore off the handkerchief in his hand, snorted hatefully, and turned to leave.
The women looked at each other and followed behind in a sneering manner.
In front of him, a group of armored soldiers came, dressed in russet clothes, who were palace guards.
"The prince blatantly violated the palace rules and rode horses in Tianluan City, and we are on the orders of the emperor to invite the prince back to the palace!"
The women stopped and looked this way.
Yuwen Xuancang didn't look at anyone, only looked at Su Jinling, as if saying goodbye, as if asking, "Do you want to go back with me", and it seemed to be ...... He just wanted to look at her so quietly.
The guard at the head bowed his hand again: "Su Yiren left the palace without permission, thinking of the first offense, he will be demoted to a six-rank person as appropriate, and return to the palace immediately." ”
Yuwen Xuancang retracted his gaze and reappeared coldly: "Su Yiren's mother is newly mourned, and it is inconvenient to return to the palace......"
"Lord, this is the emperor's will......"
"This king will explain ...... with the emperor"
"Lord ......"
"The emperor just asked you to take this king back to the palace, and didn't let you disobey this king's order, didn't he?"
The man immediately stopped talking, and had to confess: "That is so...... Lord, offended! ”
The person behind him was about to put on the iron shackles, but he was stared at by Yuwen Xuancang coldly, and suddenly felt a cold breath in his heart, and almost smashed the iron shackles to the ground.
Yuwen Xuancang looked back again, looked at Su Jinling's pale face, saw that she was coming, shook his head, and slightly hooked the corners of his lips, signaling that she didn't have to worry.
He turned and walked away, his snow-white robes fluttering away, and the women who were curious or gloating seemed so obscene in comparison, and the uniform guards that followed him were so insignificant, only the snow-colored, deep, proudly imprinted on this half-cold, half-warm afternoon.
No one knew that in the Xueyang Palace, Concubine Xian slapped the table.
"This Su Jinling can't be left any longer!"
Yan Shun was taken aback: "Niangniang is going to ...... her"
The kid ...... Alas, why can't you think about it like this? Now, he suddenly hoped that Su Jinling would never come back after leaving the palace this time......
"Do you want to tip-off?"
Concubine Xian squinted, and the kindness of the past suddenly condensed into frost, and there was a coldness in her eyes, which was cold to the bone.
"The slave didn't dare to ......" Yan Shun hurriedly bowed to the ground, trembling all over.
"Humph!"
Concubine Xian snorted coldly, clenched her palm, and the inch-long Kodan fell crisply, like withered petals......
————————————————————
In the night half a moon later, Su Jinling was already listening to Xue Xuan.
Because Mo Yuan'er was a concubine, she did not stop her spirit, but she did not enter the ancestral tomb of the Su family, but was cremated.
Cremation is often used on this plane because the deceased made a big mistake during his lifetime, or because of his or her low status. She once questioned Su Jianglie about this, and the strong man seemed to have gray hair overnight, and only looked at the coffin for a moment and said softly: "She asked for it." She said...... She had been trapped in this garden for so many years that she had forgotten what it was like outside, so that she could go freely......"
She was speechless, and on the eve of the cremation, the palace issued a holy decree to make Mo Yuan'er the concubine of the Lie King, nicknamed "Lingyue", and enjoyed the honor of a first-class wife.
It was Su Jianglie who wrote the letter on the night of her death......
She watched him rub the holy decree with the golden embroidered dragon pattern, smiled suddenly, removed the lid of the coffin, placed the holy decree beside the woman who seemed to be asleep, looked at the calm face seriously, and arranged her unmessed sideburns again: "I know you don't care about this, but I just want to use it to tie you." If you're tired of being out and about, don't forget to come back......"
In the flickering candlelight, a little sparkle fell.
At this moment, there is no need to hide it, this love that has been buried for seventeen years is finally rolling out, strong and shallow, thin and long, and Zhang Wanbai and others are angry at the coffin. But what's the use, and now, you can't hurt her anymore, can you?
The fire was blazing, as if wrapped in a ball of black charcoal, and it kept sighing, rolling thick smoke, and went up against the wind. The flames swayed, and suddenly the fragrance overflowed.
Everyone was amazed, but Su Jinling saw an extremely dazzling bright leap out of the light flame, circled in the smoke, and suddenly spun in front of her, as if he stretched out his hand and stroked her cheek, and fluttered around in front of Su Jianglie, circled around him, flew forward, but reluctantly turned around and looked at the two of them, and finally turned around, like a long song, straight into the sky......
Su Jianglie stared blankly at the faint clouds in the sky, with a smile on his lips. Su Jinling, who was very close to him, heard him murmur: "Kite, don't go far, remember to wait for me to ......"
————————————————————
Su Jinling sobbed and buried her face in the pillow.
She didn't know how to define the relationship between Su Jianglie and Mo Yuan'er, maybe Yuwen Xuancang was right, sometimes staying away is not a kind of love.
Xuancang ...... I don't know what happened after I was taken away by the guards that day. The reason why he can understand Su Jianglie's thoughts so deeply is because he has also worried about himself so much, so will one day, he will also leave her for this?
She couldn't find the answer, or rather, she didn't dare to think about it.
The night seems to be able to stretch all thoughts infinitely, and it doesn't know where to go, so it becomes a hollow.
"Tuk Tuk ......"
Suddenly, there was a soft sound in the window.
Following the prestige, I was surprised to see a figure reflected in the window.
"Who?"
A faint sound and a glimmer of light pierced the glow and nailed it to her pillow.
Silver?!
She recognized that it was Yuwen Xuanlang's hidden weapon!
She hurriedly pushed open the window.
Under the moon, Yuwen Xuanlang was looking at her with a smile.
"Why are you here?"
He hurriedly put a finger to his lips and shushed, then cautiously glanced around, and then looked at her with a smile.
"Someone wants to see you......"
"What's wrong with him?" Su Jinling immediately became anxious.
Yuwen Xuanlang was still smiling: "Don't you know when you see it?" ”
————————————————————
"Is this an authentic?"
Su Jinling looked at the uneven walls under the movement of light and shadow.
"Hmm." Yuwen Xuanlang held a pine oil torch to lead the way in front.
Pitch-black shadows moved eerily across the walls, jumping from time to time to the sound of torches.
"Your Highness the Seventh, why don't you speak?" The coldness of the secret passage and the chill in her heart had already made her shiver several times.
"Say what?"
"Anything."
chuckle: "Are you scared?" ”
Su Jinling wanted to refute it, but after thinking for a moment, she nodded: "A little." ”
chuckled and sighed: "Do you want to know why I am so good with the fourth brother?" ”
She snapped her eyelashes and looked at the long back in front of her.
"When I was five years old, I played hide and seek with Xuan Zheng, Luo Yunsheng, and Ning. At that time, this tunnel was just a crypt, and Ning Shuangshuang asked me to hide here, promising me that no one would find it, so I hid. The tunnel was very dark, and I was scared at the time, but gradually I fell asleep. When I woke up, I didn't know what time it was, and when I heard that there was no movement outside, I wanted to go out, but I didn't know who locked the door. This tunnel is so remote that I shouted in my throat and no one heard me, so I was really scared at that time. I cried tired and fell asleep, and when I woke up crying, I don't know how long I tossed. I was so hungry that I couldn't even cry at last, and everything seemed to be quietly disappearing. At that time, I didn't know what death was, but now I think about it, and then I don't think about anything......"
It's not a pleasant story, but Yuwen Xuanlang has a relaxed tone.
"It seemed like a long, long time later, when I heard a sound, and then I saw a very bright light coming in, and there was a man in the light, and before I could see clearly, the man ripped his clothes and covered my eyes. I was picked up by the man, and there was a faint sweetness in him. I know, that's the fourth brother......"
