Nu'er withdrew her hand, she looked up at the bright moon in the sky, "You know that even if you kneel and die outside the Longyang Palace, Your Majesty will not change his decision." What's more, the crown princess is the queen in the future, and her status is respected, so why don't I want to. ”

"On June 20, the whole of the six palaces had to prepare for the prince's marriage, and the guards of Yonghemen were lax. If you are willing to go with me, at the ends of the world, I will follow you, we will be home all over the world, and be a pair of free and scattered immortals. ”

"At the end of June 20, I am waiting for you under the plane tree outside the Changqing Palace. I'll take care of everything. ”

Leaving a word, Dongli Yuyang drifted away.

Nu'er sat down in a daze, and there was only the sentence in his ear: "At the end of June 20, I will wait for you under the plane tree outside the Changqing Palace." "It echoed for a long time.

She was tempted. In the palace for three years, she has seen the world hot and cold, and she is tired of intrigue. She has been locked up for too long, and there is a longing in her heart to fly out of this golden wire cage and live a free and easy life.

But.

The sorrow between the slave's brows intensified, and she hesitated, the first time between power and freedom.

Three days later. June 20, morning.

Just a moment later, the slave was surrounded by the palace maid sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get up.

Today when she opened her eyes for the first moment, she made a crazy decision. She wants to escape, whether it's for what she thinks is love or for her own freedom.

"You all stand down and let the county lord be alone for a while." After freshening up, the slave commanded seemingly casually. The palace people retreated, and Duxin Mei took a deep look at the slave before stepping back.

Fortunately, she hid outside the door that night and eavesdropped on the conversation between the two. Smart as a new eyebrow, she had already guessed what her master wanted to do.

After she stepped back, she hurriedly walked to the ear room and pulled Ruoling up, "You have a lot of methods." No matter what, before the sun sets, you must bring Aunt Bai into the palace. ”

Bang bang bang.

Xinmei stood outside the door and said, "County Lord, the people from the embroidery room are waiting outside, please take a bath and change your clothes." ”

"Got it!" The slave hurriedly hid the things she had packed under the futon, she made it in front of the dresser, picked up the jade comb and pretended to comb her hair, and then raised her voice, "Come in." ”

Before the words fell, the new eyebrows had already pushed the door open. Sixteen palace maids and eunuchs entered from outside the door, each holding a gilded white jade tray in their hands, and the big red wedding dresses, shawls, red hijabs, gold and silver jewelry, jade bracelets and pearls were displayed in an orderly manner.

"The county lord is so beautiful." When combing her hair, the aunt in charge looked at the beautiful person in the mirror with envy and couldn't help but praise. Long silky green hair passed through her fingertips, and she added, "The county lord's hair is black and translucent, hanging like a waterfall. In the past, the old people said that people with such beautiful hair were blessed. ”

The slave's face was faint, and her gaze fell on the mirror. The person in the mirror has willow eyebrows and cherry lips, and his eyes are flowing under his long eyelashes, which is full of style. She smiled faintly, "Blessings are deep. She paused for a moment to reminisce, and she lowered her head slightly, "Then I borrowed my aunt's auspicious words." Remember to collect the reward money later. ”

The aunt in charge nodded with joy on her face, her hand was as flexible as a snake on the slave's head, but in half an hour, she was coiled into a dignified and elegant, quite popular bun. As soon as the aunt in charge put down the ivory carved jade comb in her hand, someone immediately put the hair crown that had been waiting behind her firmly on the bun.

Graceful and noble, what is the so-called elegance, it should be so.

The slave was thinking about other things in her heart, and her mind was used on the side, so she naturally didn't care so much about the makeup of the wedding dress. After all, they are all going to go, no matter how beautiful the costumes are, no matter how exquisite the makeup is, it is in vain.

After dressing up, the slave was placed in a red saro tent by a group of palace maids and grandmothers. At the moment, the only thing she has to do is wait for the auspicious time to come.

The palace maids in the hall retreated one after another, and the palace that was originally bustling and crowded with people instantly became quiet and empty again. The slave had just stood up and wanted to make a move, when there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside.

"County Lord, His Royal Highness the Prince's attendant Zhuyuan asks to see you."

The slave thought for a moment, "Come in." ”

Zhuyuan walked in and held a small brocade box in his hand. He was dressed in dark clothes, with horizontal eyebrows and sword eyes, giving people a solemn atmosphere. Zhu Yuan handed over the brocade box without humility or arrogance, "County Lord, this is something sent by His Royal Highness the Prince." Please also ask the county lord to open it himself. ”

Nu'er stared at the brocade box for a long time, and finally she stretched out her slender jade hand and gently flipped the switch. The brocade box was opened, and inside it was a cloud-shaped dark gold token. Nu'er was shocked, this is the palace card given to the prince by Emperor Yuan'an, which can be adjusted to order the palace to hold the golden guard, and enter and exit the palace unimpeded.

Prince...... What does this mean? The slave was puzzled.

Zhu Yuan raised his head and secretly peeked at the face of the slave, he coughed lightly, and said slowly, "His Royal Highness asked the minister to tell the county lord, 'He has always been narrow-minded, and he must be compared. Only give one chance, and hope that the county lord will consider and grasp it. ’”

The slave's heart skipped a beat. She thoughtfully picked up the token in the brocade box and played with it in the palm of her hand. A cold sweat gradually broke out on her back, and she suddenly had a premonition that everything about her, everything she had, including Dongli Yuyang, their private affairs, their plans, as if everything was in the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

He knew everything, and he sent a token, which was clearly to give her a choice. If she goes, take this token, and it will be unimpeded. If she doesn't leave, according to the prince's literal meaning, she will enter the East Palace in one day and the East Palace for life. Once you enter, you can't get out.

The slave suddenly felt that he was incomparably small in this imperial city. I thought she was in control of everything, but the suddenness of this token made her gradually begin to doubt herself. Carried away by emotion, his reason gradually turned back, and the slave turned around and sat back on the bed, waving his hand lightly at Zhuyuan, "I took the things." Help me thank the prince, and you can step down. ”

The slave's hand reached into the burden of the futon, and her heart sank little by little. The heart that was already firm suddenly became a little hesitant because of the arrival of this token. She calms down, hesitates, and the person who really changes her decision comes in.

"Miss." This voice is extremely familiar, and it is the name that the slave has heard for more than ten years. After three years in the palace, everyone called her the county lord, and this young lady was really absent for a long time. The slave turned around abruptly and called out to the visitor in a daze, "Aunt Bai......"

This moment seems to be back to when I was a child, in a lonely and cold night, I leaned on this person's shoulder, tears slipped down the corners of my eyes, soaked through my clothes, and she gave herself warmth and care again and again. Let her believe that there is still a trace of warmth in this world, and let her heart retain a trace of goodness no matter what.

She lost her mother and her brother. Aunt Bai is her only relative. There are few people in this world who she cares about.

"I haven't seen her for two years, and Miss has been so marked." Bai Shuang slowly walked to the slave's side, she had worked hard for Zuixiao Lou for three years, although she was also working maintenance, but after all, she still worked day and night, and her face was much older. She stopped by the slave's bed and glanced at the raised futon, frowning slightly, her eyes clear.

"There are endless battles in the palace, and I am deceitful, and I am afraid every day to beware of assassination. Everyone is tired for three years, and others have no chance to leave, but now that Miss has a chance, with Miss's ingenuity, she can naturally get out safely, and she can live well anywhere. Being able to live in peace and security is also what the lady hoped for at the beginning. ”

Nu'er naturally knew that Bai Shuang was invited by Xinmei and others to come into the palace to dissuade her, so she lowered her eyes and muttered, "In that case, then why did you come to dissuade me?" Wasn't that what my mother hoped for in the first place? ”

"Yes, I'm not here to selfishly ask you to stay. I just want Miss to make her own choice. Bai Shuang sighed softly, and she said slowly, "Didn't Miss always want to know the truth of the year?"

Nu'er's eyes lit up, and she held Bai Shuang's hand, "You're finally willing to tell me?"

"Yes, the reason why I have been refusing to tell Miss is because Miss is not yet full-fledged, and she is already struggling in the palace, so how can she have the ability to seek justice for her wife. This has always been Miss's obsession in the past, and now I have told her that if Miss knows the truth and is willing to let go of her obsession, Bai Shuang will never dissuade her. If Miss changes her mind, Bai Shuang will also swear to follow. ”

The slave's expression became more and more solemn. She knew that the truth Bai Shuang told would definitely not let her go easily, and even this might have been the bargaining chip that Bai Shuang used to leave her. But so what? She still needs to know that there is no escaping this truth.

"It's the Queen Mother."

Bai Shuang looked at the slave and spoke coldly, there seemed to be resentment in his eyes.

"The Queen Mother, who was still a concubine, took advantage of Her Majesty's expedition to give medicine to the young lady at the banquet, and used tricks to make her lose her innocence. and asked the first emperor for marriage without authorization, and the young lady was helpless to marry General Lu. ”

"The jade pendant that the Li family used to frame the young lady came from the palace. I recognize that it is His Majesty's personal belongings, so the general who knows that Miss has a past with His Majesty will be convinced of Miss Hongxing's exit from the wall. And that piece of jade pendant. ”

"It is also the masterpiece of the Queen Mother." The slave spoke coldly. Then everything makes sense. One thing she couldn't figure out was where the jade pendant came from. At that time, Concubine Fang was just an unfavored permanent being, and she didn't have the ability to obtain the emperor's personal belongings. The harem concubines asked which one would meddle in the affairs of the courtier's backyard. Therefore, there is only one person who has the ability to easily take His Majesty's personal belongings and quietly do so, and that is the Queen Mother.

But there is still a question.

"Why does the Queen Mother meddle in the affairs of her courtiers?"

"Because the Queen Mother does not allow anyone to affect the decision-making and attitude of an emperor. If there is such a person, it will be a disaster. If such a thing exists, it is a disaster for a country. Miss, the emperor's house, the royal family, will not be violated. Do you understand?"

Bai Shuang looked at the slave fixedly and said word by word. Every word seems to weigh more than a thousand pounds. Every word weighed heavily on the slave's heart, making her breathless.

She raised her head and laughed, a tear in the corner of her eye. She walked to the dressing table with heavy steps, opened the bottom drawer, picked up the Kunlun Eye and gently rubbed it in the palm of her hand. She smiled bitterly, and her hand hung weakly She handed the Kunlun Eye to Bai Shuang, and sighed, "Let people send it back to him." Out of the corner of his eye, he fell on a plum bone umbrella in the corner, and the slave walked up again, picked up the umbrella, and tore it along the surface of the umbrella, little by little. Even the yearning in the heart was torn apart.
