"The king will not allow it." I heard only a slightly chilling voice.

I hurriedly turned around, but I saw that the little poisonous tongue had woken up at some point, and was sitting cross-legged on my couch. His slightly hostile and sneering expression looked as if someone was trying to snatch his beloved toy.

Princess Wan was not annoyed, but smiled faintly: "Xie'er, can't my sister ask you for someone?" ”

Liu Xie walked down with a calm face: "Except for her, the maids in Xie'er Palace are picked by my sister." ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"My sister is very close to An Ruo." Princess Wan smiled.

I lowered my eyes slightly, and the royal siblings discussed my ultimate belonging, and I seemed to be an outsider.

What is the loss of human rights, I can be considered to have experienced it through and through today.

"I want it too." Liu Wei put on a dragon robe, lest the world join in the fun.

Raising my hand to wipe the cold sweat, I sighed to myself, when did I go from an ugly girl that no one cares about to a fragrant dumpling that everyone is fighting for? And I can't afford to offend any of the three people in front of me......

"Debate?" Liu Xie didn't seem to believe that his imperial brother was about to defect.

"The royal sister also wants it, the royal brother also wants it, it's better to belong to me, everyone is happy." With a smile, Liu Wei looked like he was enjoying the benefits of a fisherman. Dressed in a wide-sleeved dragon robe with red edges on a black background, embroidered with a golden dragon rising from the clouds, it should not be angry but mighty, full of domineering. But when I wore it on Liu Wei and looked at that excessively beautiful face, I thought of the model standing on the catwalk, more beautiful than majestic enough.

Princess Wan looked at Liu Xie's puffing appearance and couldn't help laughing: "Since that's the case, it's better to let An Ruo choose by herself, okay?" ”

Hearing this, I was slightly stunned, so soon the autonomy returned to me? Just looking around at the three of them, I couldn't be happy.

Liu Xie snorted coldly from his nostrils, then stood aside with his hands on his chest and turned his head away from looking at me, his pale lips pursed, still stubborn and distressing.

Liu Wei's expression was completely inappropriate with the dragon robe on his body, and he looked at me as if his beautiful eyes were covered with a layer of fog staring at me without blinking.

Princess Wan also looked at me, but there was a meaningful meaning in her eyes, as smart as her, did she already expect who I would choose?

I lowered my head, sighed in my heart, and then carefully moved my steps and stood behind Princess Wan.

Princess Wan's expression on her face did not change, and she was still smiling: "Okay, Your Majesty, it's time for you to go to the court." ”

Liu Wei looked at me with infinite regret: "Alas, I originally wanted you to make shaved ice." So saying, he turned and went up.

"Xie'er, my sister is also going back to the palace." The smile on the corner of Princess Wan's mouth was impeccablely elegant.

Liu Xie stood in place, his dark eyes glaring at me fiercely, making his cheeks more and more pale as snow.

Ruthless, I hardened my head, turned around and left the hut with Princess Wan.

I didn't dare to look back at him.

After a few days of peace in Zhaode Palace, Princess Wan promised that I would find an opportunity to send me out of the palace. In Zhaode Palace, I am really an idler, compared to being poisoned by that little poisonous tongue in Zhaohuan Palace, this is simply in heaven. The most bizarre thing is that the little poisonous tongue has never come to Zhaode Palace to trouble me. It's just that I don't know if a person is used to being tortured, whether it will be grinded out of inertia, and I am a little worried about that little poisonous tongue.

Does he still dare not blow the lamp at night?

Does he still wear heavy and gorgeous clothes every day?

Does he still have nightmares every night?

Look, I'm really being tortured and crazy.

Three days later, at noon, the sun was a little strong, and Princess Wan sent someone to pass me over.

As the maid walked to Princess Wan's bedroom, I lowered my head and tried to maintain my humble image, lest I make a mistake and lose the opportunity to leave the palace.

After all, I don't know anything about this princess. Wasn't I too careless, so I came back with her in such a daze.

As soon as I entered the princess's bedroom, a chill came to my face, indescribably comfortable, without a trace of heat, I couldn't help but be a little curious, slightly sideways, looking around. But it turned out that there was a copper basin in the northwest corner of the room, and in the basin were placed some pieces of ice, and the ice was covered with red silk, which was already soaked.

"Look up." The fan in her hand shook gently, and Princess Wan spoke lightly.

I obediently looked up at Princess Wan, who was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, her long hair hanging down to her waist. In fact, she is only seventeen or eighteen, in the world before me, she may just be a high school student, but the girl in front of her is clearly the appearance of the city.

"Are you still used to staying in Zhaodeok Palace?" Princess Wan spoke, gentlely.

"Yes, but I don't know when the princess will send me out of the palace?" No politeness, I can't help but say it bluntly.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow out of the palace."

I was a little surprised that it was so fast!

"I haven't mentioned you to the Empress Dowager, so tomorrow when I go to Xishan to worship the Buddha, you can go out of the palace with me." Putting down the fan in her hand, she casually picked up the wooden comb on the side, gently combed her long hair, and said lightly.

It turned out that she just pretended to promise Liu Xie, but in fact, it didn't go as he wished.

"Forgive the slave and the maid for being stupid, I don't know why the princess helped me so much?" After hesitating slightly, I couldn't suppress the doubt in my heart, and finally spoke.

Hearing this, Princess Wan actually laughed: "If An Ruo is a smart person, this palace will also say bluntly, this palace does not want you to stay in the palace, because the emperor and King Chen Liu are both interested in you, if the brother turns against him, it is really not popular with the palace, not to mention ......"

Moreover?

"Besides, Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy in the day before yesterday, sent a big gift and asked the palace to help send you out of the palace." Princess Wan smiled.

Cao Cao? I was slightly stunned, it was him! Gift? He actually gave me a big gift?

Princess Wan curled up her long hair with some effort, her fingers trembled slightly, and the strands of her hair fell down again. In the bronze mirror, she was slightly embarrassed, but at this time, she had a hint of humanity, and she was no longer so far away, like the stars in the sky

I couldn't help but step forward, took the wooden comb from her hand, and brushed her long satin hair. It's just a little curious in her heart, with her princess dignity, why do she have to comb her hair by herself?

Princess Wan was slightly stunned, looked at me from the bronze mirror, and after a while, she said softly: "I have always been used to combing my hair. In his expression, he was a little touchingly lonely.

Will such a gorgeous woman be lonely?

Lowering my eyes slightly, I noticed that the wooden comb in my hand was a little rough, and the wooden handle was polished to a very smooth surface, and I could tell that it had been used for a long time. Looking at the furnishings in this house, none of them are extremely luxurious, except for the wooden comb in his hand, which is strangely shabby.

"Seeing things and thinking about people?" Subconsciously, I spoke.

Princess Wan lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes casting a dark shadow under her eyes, and she didn't refute it, nor did she become angry.

"I'm so envious." Slightly curling my lips, I looked down at the rough wooden comb in my hand, and an unknown pain slowly slipped through my heart.

I have it too, and I have many, many things that I can use to see things and think about people. The puppet dolls, silver hairpins, and silver arrows he made for me...... And many, many more. As Dong Zhuo said, I have more than anyone else, and it's all good.

However, I didn't even have time to bring out a single one......

The only thing I have is a smile. When I think of him, I smile. Because then, I will remember that once, there was a man who made me smile.

Smile, that's the only thing I can miss him.

There was a crisp sound, something was broken, I subconsciously stroked my heart, and then laughed. It is not my heart that is broken, but the ice in the copper basin.

The sound of melting water striking on the copper basin made a pleasant "tinkling" sound.

Reaching out to take the wooden comb in her hand, Princess Wan returned to her normal color: "Go down." ”

"Yes." I bowed my head in thanksgiving, turned and walked out.

As soon as I left the door of the dormitory, a wave of heat greeted me. When I looked up, I saw a person walking in front of me, looking hurried.

I took a closer look, and this person turned out to be Zhang Rang. That had a relationship with me, Zhang Rang, one of the ten permanent servants. At this time, his face was anxious, his steps were vain, and he was no longer the swagger of his past, and he did not notice me.

Back in my room, I sat down in front of the bronze mirror and looked at the woman's face in the bronze mirror, her left cheek was ugly, but the corners of her mouth were smiling.

Finally, you can get out of the palace.

Zhang Rang's panicked demeanor didn't leave too much of a vivid impression in my mind, after all, once I left this palace, then everything here had nothing to do with me.

I'm an actor, in ancient terms, an actor. It is said that the drama is ruthless, but if it is ruthless, how can it be scarred? But at this time, I have become a frightened bird, and I dare not have too much intersection with anyone, because on their stage, I can only be a weak audience.

Their joys and sorrows have nothing to do with me, I can only watch them, but I can't do anything.

God really played a cruel joke on me.

Liu Xie, Liu Wei, and Princess Wan, they are all too far away from me, and they are destined to perform a tragedy. Since I can't afford to change, can I choose not to be an audience? So, get out of the palace, out of sight is pure.

I don't know when I fell asleep, but when I woke up, it was already dawn, and I was lying in front of the bronze mirror, with a smile on the corner of my mouth.

Dreaming? I don't remember what I dreamed about, but it should be a happy thing.

Princess Wan's personal maid came to send a message, asking me to change my clothes and wait at the gate of Zhaode Palace.

After hastily changing the maid's clothes, I bowed my head and went out of the room. Walking all the way through the corridor, I suddenly heard a jingling sound in my ears.

My heart slammed into my mind, and I remembered a man in white who always had a gentle face. Suppressing the fear in my heart, I subconsciously stroked the small jasper gourd used for decoration around my waist.

That early morning, the man in white with a gentle smile said to me, smile, come back to Luoyang with me.

At that time, I longed for him to die.

That time, I really moved with killing intent. For the first time in my life, I wanted to kill someone.

His name is Wang Yun.

But it's really funny, when I lost everything, I didn't forget to take this little jasper gourd with me, maybe on a whim, or to remind myself not to be gullible, I actually carried it all the time.

Even on the wedding day, I took it with me.

The little jasper gourd tied around my waist moved slightly with my hand, reflecting a charming color in the fiery June sun, and the white juice flowing slowly in between it could be faintly seen.

A hint of wind was blowing in my face, and it was also hot, and I heard the sound of "clanging" in my ears again.

I looked up, and then I raised my lips slightly, it was really a snake shadow, it was just the sound of wind chimes on the eaves being swept by the wind.

"Miss Anruo?" A high-pitched voice suddenly sounded.

I was stunned and subconsciously took a step back.

"You are?" I looked at the man carefully, he looked like a eunuch, but the bright brocade clothes showed that he was not an ordinary eunuch, could he also be one of the ten permanent attendants?

"The princess won't come." His voice was strangely high-pitched.

I was deeply shocked, and then I persevered and continued to ask, "Why?" ”

"The Empress Dowager has been killed." There was a hint of sadness and indignation in his expression.

I was stunned for a moment, is it the Empress Dowager Dong? The old lady I saw at the first time when I entered the palace was not angry but mighty? He's dead?

"He Jinyu killed the Empress Dowager!" The eunuch gritted his teeth and said angrily.

I suddenly remembered a passage in the script: He Jin secretly made people kill the Empress Dowager Dong in the Hejian Post Court, returned to Beijing with a coffin, and was buried in Wenling; Zhang Rang and others were rumored to be outside, saying that after the public killed Dong, he wanted to make a big deal......

This scene is so familiar......

I had already seen the death of the Empress Dowager Dong in the script, and now I heard it from the mouth of this eunuch, and I didn't feel much. However, the funeral that followed made me feel how close the boundary between life and death is.

Empress Dowager Dong was buried in Wenling, and I stood behind Princess Wan and witnessed the entire funeral.

In that turbulent time, when hunger was everywhere on the way, this funeral was truly luxurious.

I saw Liu Wei in an imperial robe, with a white belt tied around his waist, and a pair of beautiful eyes that still seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, but there was a faint worry in those eyes.

I followed his eyes and saw the little poisonous tongue, he stood in front of the coffin, dressed in white, with a pale face.

I remember that there is such a paragraph in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms": "In the summer and April of the sixth year of Zhongping, Emperor Ling was ill and summoned the general He into the palace to discuss the future. He Jin got up to slaughter the family, because his sister entered the palace as a nobleman, gave birth to a prince, and then became the queen, and the reason for entering was to get the power. The emperor favored Wang Meiren and gave birth to the prince association. He was jealous and killed Wang Meiren. The prince was raised in the palace of the Empress Dowager Dong. ”

A few sentences, it sounds like just a narrative, but that little poisonous tongue, Liu Xie, what kind of childhood did he spend? It's just that in any case, the Empress Dowager Dong, who once wanted to put him on the throne, has the grace of nurturing him after all. Without the protection of Empress Dowager Dong, in this cannibalistic palace, the little poisonous tongue must have been gone.

Although I don't know how he spent his childhood, I know that he must be unhappy.

Empress Dowager Dong is dead, is it really expected that this palace is the world controlled by Empress He?

Unfortunately not.

At this time, I suddenly panicked, because I suddenly remembered Dong Zhuo.

Historically, this is the beginning of the turmoil.

Dong Zhuo was also called into Luoyang by He Jin at this time.

Holding the fruit plate, I walked down the quiet corridor, and the wind chimes on the eaves of the corridor were blown by the wind from time to time, making a "jingling" sound.

It's July, and the weather is as hot as ever.

The death of the Empress Dowager Dong has been calm on the surface, but inside there is a turbulent dark tide, and the ten permanent servants led by Zhang Rang are about to move, spreading the truth that the Empress Dowager Dong was killed.

Everything is a precursor to turmoil.

On this summer afternoon with only the chirping of cicadas, everything was so peaceful, but I seemed to smell the wind and rain coming.

Because of the death of the Empress Dowager Dong, Princess Wan didn't have the heart to take care of sending me out of the palace for the time being, and this matter was shelved for a while.

"Yikes!" An exclamation.

"Plop", there is the sound of falling into the river.

"Help...... Save...... Fate ......" followed by panicked cries for help.

I paused slightly, then put down the fruit plate in my hand and ran all the way.

In the lotus pond, the pink lotus flowers are in full bloom, and the whole pond is beautiful, but now there is a woman crying for help in the water.

Looking at the sparkling water, I shuddered inexplicably.

On that day, by the moat, the water that came from the end of the earth...... The fear of dying......

I have an inexplicable fear of water.

"Help...... Help me......" the voice cried out heartbreakingly.

I looked around in a hurry, and there were few people coming to this lotus pond. Gritting my teeth, I untied the strap around my waist and threw it on the water.

"Catch!" Whether or not she deserved to drown today in history, I don't know her name, I don't know her past, I don't know her future......

So, I want to save her.

Fortunately, she had just stumbled, and she still hadn't reached the heart of the pool, and in a panic, her hand grabbed my belt.

Lying on the shore, I stretched out my hand with all my might.

Finally, I took her hand in the water.

"Ahem! Cough! Cough! Sitting on the shore, she coughed violently.

"It's okay." Sitting down next to her, I looked sideways at her.

Her long water-soaked hair was obediently attached to her face, and she couldn't see her face clearly, but she was definitely a beauty.

"Thank you for saving me." After coughing for a while, she looked sideways at me and smiled.

I was slightly stunned, I always felt that she was very familiar.

"Oh, that's bad." She suddenly exclaimed, stood up, and then her feet went limp.

"What's wrong?" Frowning at her, I asked.

"What time is it?" She was a little frightened.

I looked up at the sun, which was already sinking in the west.

"Can you ......," she hesitated.

"Huh?"

"Today, the Queen Mother's birthday, ordered me to enter the palace to perform, I look like this, I ......look like this" She blushed slightly, as if she was a little embarrassed.

"You want to change clothes with me?" I smiled.

"Uh, is that okay?" She looked at me with a look of anticipation.

I undressed irrefutably.

So, in a place where few people came in this palace, two women who had never even met quietly changed their clothes.

"Thank you, thank you really." She held my hand and smiled brightly.

I'm in a bit of a trance, and it feels really familiar.

But there was a slight confusion in my mind, and by the time I put on her wet clothes, it was already dark.

She took my hand: "The banquet is about to start, thank you very much, I will definitely return your clothes to you when I come back to the palace." With that, she lifted the hem of her skirt and galloped out.

I looked down and saw a white scarf, which must have been used by her to cover her face. Looking down to pick it up, I turned and walked back to the hallway alone.

The crescent moon hung high above the black canopy, pouring silver light from the ground. There was an evening breeze, and the slightest chill was slight, and the dress was quickly dried by the wind.

It was a crescent-white silk dance dress, moving with the wind, and I looked up at the silver moon in the sky like a hook, and for a moment it seemed as if I was about to become a fairy with the wind.

"Jingle Bell...... Jingle ......"

I was slightly stunned, and then relieved, it should be the bell of the eaves.

The voice stopped behind me.

"Why are you here?" A voice that is too gentle to be overstated.

I froze.

That voice is, Wang Yun!
