The red lotus root is fragrant, the reeds are Xiao Xiao, and the autumn is full of dryness. Hate the golden wind in the dark, and the red leaves are long and lonely mountains.

Wake up from a dream with broken strings, the sound is astringent and delicate, and waving your hand is still like smoke. Yesterday's dust love, love lingering in the lotus garden.

Murong Ningyan was surprised and delighted: "Young Master Xiao, you are still alive, great!" The smoke knows you're not dead. But the words still seem to be silenced, and that's okay! As long as the person who thinks about it is lost and recovered, I want to run a few steps to meet it, but my feet seem to be stumbling on something. The light also seems to flicker on and off, and you want to see it but you can't see it clearly.

Suddenly, a strange blood stain appeared on Xiao Gongzi's chest, the blood kept dripping, and the white robe was quickly stained red with blood, and the expression on his face seemed to be holding back the pain.

Xiao Gongzi is injured? Murong Ningyan panicked and crawled forward desperately, but he couldn't touch Xiao Gongzi, no matter how hard he shouted, he just couldn't make a sound, which made people very anxious.

"Xiao Gongzi, what's wrong with you? How can you get hurt? Murong Ningyan's mouth opened and closed, without the slightest sound.

wiped his eyes vigorously, and finally saw that behind Xiao Gongzi, there seemed to be a familiar figure, stabbing a sword at him, and at this time he was pulling out his sword and preparing to turn around and leave, who was that person? I wanted to see his face carefully, but my eyes seemed to be veiled, and I couldn't see it clearly.

Xiao Gongzi opened his arms and wanted to hug Murong Ningyan, just when Murong Ningyan was about to climb up, Xiao Gongzi couldn't support it and slowly fell, his hand stretched forward, obviously it was only a little bit, and the hands of the two could not be touched, Xiao Gongzi smiled with his eyes, and looked at her softly and quietly, gradually, the surroundings became pitch black, and he couldn't see anything. Murong Ningyan cried into tears, calling the heavens and the earth unspiritual.

At this time, there seemed to be a glimmer of light in the darkness, Murong Ningyan seemed to suddenly feel that his feet could move, and the painful Murong Ningyan cried and pounced on Xiao Gongzi, but he pounced on the air, groping for a long time in the place where Xiao Gongzi had fallen to the ground, and did not touch anything. In a trance, I seemed to hear Xiao Gongzi say: Yan'er doesn't cry, I'll come back.

The emperor saw that Murong Ningyan frowned at times, sometimes surprised, sometimes panicked, sometimes as if he had something to say, his mouth was open and closed but there was no sound, sad tears flowed down his ears to the back of his neck, and his forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat.

In despair, Murong Ningyan fell to the ground and cried bitterly, and suddenly, a familiar voice whispered in his ear: "Yan'er, wake up, it's a nightmare, right?" I'll pull you up! Then a pair of warm hands reached out to him.

Murong Ningyan opened his eyes with difficulty, feeling so tired and sad, his heart was stuffy, his legs were weak, there were tears hanging on his cheeks, and the pillow towel was wet, and his first reaction was to look around, where is Xiao Gongzi? What happened to him?

"What about Xiao Gongzi? Who hurt you? ”

No one answered, and the emperor, who was standing in front of the bed, stroked Murong Ningyan's back.

It took a long time to realize that he was dreaming, and he finally came out of the sad mood in the dream, but he remembered that the emperor said last night that Xiao Gongzi had died in the sinkhole, and sadness enveloped his heart again.

"Yan'er, it's a nightmare, dreams are all reversed, don't be afraid!"

Hearing the emperor's voice, she found that she actually slept on the emperor's dragon bed last night, and was suddenly shocked, nervous, she quickly lowered her head and lifted the corner of the quilt to check, and found that her clothes were intact, so she relaxed a lot, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Are you afraid that I won't be able to eat you?" But when he saw the emperor sitting upright, he saw Murong Ningyan like this, and immediately laughed loudly.

Murong Ningyan suddenly turned red with shame, and thought, where did the emperor sleep last night? With the quilt over his face, he shouted loudly in a panic: "Get out!" ”

"When you wake up, I'm relieved! No way! This was originally my territory, but I still shouted out of me... Anyway, my people have taken over my bed, and I'm going to get out. The emperor yawned inadvertently, and strode out with a smile.

Murong Ningyan hurriedly jumped off the bed, didn't have time to put on his shoes, came to the door lightly, quietly opened the door a crack, and poked out from the crack in the door, but there was no one outside the door, so he walked back to the bed with confidence and prepared to clean up the mess, seeing the traces of tears on the golden silk pillow, Murong Ningyan was feeling guilty, and suddenly heard someone knock on the door twice.

Then the door was gently pushed open with a "hoarse", and Murong Ningyan was so startled that he quickly hid behind the bed curtain and secretly looked out, and it turned out that it was two palace maids who came in.

"Ask the girl to wash and change with the slave!" Seeing that there was no one on the bed, the two palace maids did not continue to walk forward, but just stood at the door with their heads bowed and said.

After a while, seeing that there was still no movement, the two palace maids repeated it again, Murong Ningyan thought that if he didn't come out today, it was estimated that the two of them would always talk there, so he had to slowly walk out from behind the bed curtain.

"Please come with me, girl." A palace maid led the way in front and led Murong Ningyan to another room, while another palace maid walked behind with her clothes.

As soon as I entered the room, I smelled the sweet fragrance of flowers, and the fog was rising in the room, and I saw a large wooden barrel in the middle of the room, and a pink veil hung from the beam, covering the barrel, and the water had been placed in the bucket, and a layer of rose petals floated on the surface of the water.

Murong Ningyan was waiting for the palace maid to finish putting things out, but the palace maid stepped forward to help untie her clothes.

"Thank you both, get out of here! I'll do it myself. ”

The palace maids didn't mean to leave, the two of them had already untied their belts together, Murong Ningyan hurriedly covered his clothes, retreated to the wall and said, "Please, go out quickly, I'm really not used to others helping with bathing." ”

"Please, girl, don't drive us out, for we will be punished." The palace maid begged Murong Ningyan in turn.

Murong Ningyan was embarrassed to let people stare at his body: "It's okay if you don't want you to go out, you stand with your back to me, I said that you can only move if you move." The maid obediently turned away.

Murong Ningyan took advantage of the palace maid's turn, and hurriedly took off her clothes and climbed into the barrel. Due to the panic, the water splashed on the ground, and the two palace maids turned their heads when they heard the sound, one took a water scoop to wash water on Murong Ningyan's body, and the other wiped Murong Ningyan's body with a cloth.

"I'll come by myself, I'll come by myself." Murong Ningyan protected his chest with both hands, and sank his body into the water.

"Girl, how can the concubines in the palace have their own baths, they are all served by the slaves and maids, and we are all daughters' families, it doesn't matter, you can enjoy it with peace of mind!"

"But I'm not the emperor's concubine, so I don't need you to wash it." Murong Ningyan nervously shrunk into the corner of the barrel.

"But the emperor personally explained that he wanted us to serve the girl well." The palace maid whispered softly:

Murong Ningyan remembered the court dramas he had watched, and the palace maids in it would lose their lives if they were not careful, so he still didn't want to embarrass them. So it was up to them to think about it.

After bathing, the two of them carried a delicate bathrobe to help Murong Ningyan put it on, and took her to a soft bed to lie down, one helped Murong Ningyan massage her head, and the other helped Murong Ningyan press her feet, it was quite comfortable, making people want to sleep for a while, a wave of sleepiness hit, and her eyes narrowed again, I don't know how long later, a palace maid's voice sounded in her ears: "Girl, let's go over and comb our hair!" ”

After combing his hair, he changed into the clothes brought by the palace maid, Murong Ningyan stood in front of the bronze mirror, wearing a gorgeous and elegant lilac silk skirt, wrapping his body with the fragrance of roses, his skin was smooth and delicate, he felt comfortable and refreshed, and his whole person was glowing with charming brilliance.

The palace maid couldn't help but admire: "The girl is so beautiful!" The figure is really peugeot! ”

At this time, two palace maids brought breakfast, and Murong Ningyan remembered that from now on, he was separated from Xiao Gongzi's yin and yang, and he couldn't eat anything at all.

"Girl, I'll go for a walk in the back garden with you!" A palace maid with a delicate appearance and a very dexterous look said softly in a crisp voice.

"It's good!" Seeing that Murong Ningyan agreed, the palace maid stepped forward and gently took her arm and walked towards the back garden.

The royal back garden, that chic and imposing is naturally needless to say, there are many varieties of exotic flowers and plants, and all kinds of flowers make butterflies dance. Murong Ningyan, who originally loved flowers and plants for ten minutes, had no intention of enjoying the scenery at this time.

Walking to the edge of a lotus pond, there was already a remnant of red lotus root incense, Murong Ningyan stood on the white marble bridge, looking at a piece of broken lotus root in a daze, thinking that this place should be lush and full of flowers yesterday.

In front of me, when the lotus flowers in the lake pavilion were in full bloom in the Murong Palace, Murong Ningyan at that time was carefree, accompanied by the intoxicating fragrance singing and dancing, a song "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond", the mood was as relaxed as the dragonfly standing on the lotus with sharp horns exposed at that time, and the intoxicated Xiao Gongzi's eyes were full of admiration, and he improvised a poem "Dancing Flowers and Shadows".

A bird swept by, a swoop, and a small fish pecked from the muddy water with its pointed beak, dragging Murong Ningyan back from the happy memories.

His mind was suddenly filled with the fragmented and sad dream of last night, did Xiao Gongzi want to tell him something? Who was the man who stabbed him? Murong Ningyan tried hard to search for memories in his mind, but he was just a vague figure and couldn't see clearly, did this dream portend something?

"Sorrowful eyebrows, thousands of marks, 10,000 marks. Xiao looks at the sky and looks at the clouds at dusk, and thinks about you when you walk, and thinks about you when you sit. Murong Ningyan suddenly remembered this poem in his mind, isn't this very appropriate to the situation he has been doing for several days?

She involuntarily took out the hosta left by Xiao Gongzi from her arms, stroked it gently, tears quietly slid across her face, dripping on the delicate lotus flower on the hairpin, and she quickly wiped the tears on the hosta with her sleeve. At this time, a pair of warm hands gently stroked Murong Ningyan's cheeks and gently wiped away the tears on her face.

Murong Ningyan found out that at some point, the emperor was already standing beside him, stretched out his hand and gently hugged her in his arms, this warm embrace came in time, at this time, Murong Ningyan was powerless to refuse, just snuggled obediently, just needed a support, let the tears wet his clothes, the emperor didn't say anything, just gently patted Murong Ningyan's back, and the two stood up like this
