When he returned to the Taishi Mansion, Guo Yan was guarding the door with a cold face.

"My lord, why did you come back!" He rushed forward in a hurry, without looking at me, "The water can't be guarded!" ”

Cao and others would like to announce to the world with great righteousness: Dong Zhuo deceived the heavens and the earth, destroyed the country and killed the king; Messing with the palace ban and mutilating living beings; Wolves are unkind, and sins are accumulated! Today, under the secret edict of the Son of Heaven, a large number of volunteers were gathered, vowing to sweep away China and kill the murderers. Wangxing righteous teachers, venting public anger; Support the royal family and save the people. When the text arrives, it can be pursued quickly! (from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms")

Cao Cao's inscriptions spread like the wind throughout the towns, and all the princes raised troops accordingly.

Suddenly, the world was in chaos. Liu Wei's death ignited the last flames of war. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, it became a battlefield in an instant. The defeat of Bishui Pass, Lu Bu led his troops to retreat to the Tiger Pass, which was fifty miles away from Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo personally stayed on the Pass.

When Dong Zhuo left the house to go on the expedition, I was still asleep, and I knew that he was standing next to my bed, but my eyelids were heavy as if they weighed a thousand pounds, and I couldn't open my eyes no matter how hard I tried.

His palms were thick with calluses, rough and warm. His hand gently caressed my forehead, brushing away the scattered hair, and his gaze was so affectionate.

In this battle, Dong Zhuo is bound to lose.

In addition to Cao Cao, the famous Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei in history were all unknown in the coalition at this time.

Sitting in the courtyard of the Taishi Mansion in Luoyang, I looked at the flying flowers in the courtyard, full of spring.

It's been seven days since Dong Zhuo went to Tiger Prison in person, and I'm just waiting for an ending.

After traveling through such a long time and space, knowing all the development of history, I can't do anything. wanted to keep Dong Zhuo in Liangzhou, but Dong Zhuo still entered Luoyang; wanted to protect Liu Bian, but Liu Biao still died.

I don't deny it, I'm afraid that under this historical sky, my small actions may cause a fatal butterfly effect.

I don't dare to act rashly.

Admit it, I'm a coward. The established ending, what changes is only the process, no matter how much I toss...... The end, or the end.

In the courtyard, the sun was shining and I was sitting in the shade of a tree.

Above my head was a towering ancient tree, and the sunlight was shining on the ground through the lush leaves, dripping and mottled with green shadows, and I was sleepy.

Recently, I've become more and more sleepy, and I'm lazy to do anything. Leaning against the towering tree, my eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

The sound of fighting, screams, and a sad song of hell seemed to be intertwined in my ears, and I still closed my eyes, intuitively thinking that it was another dream.

Lately, I've been getting more and more unable to tell the difference between dreams and reality. It wasn't until the smell of blood came to my nose that I suddenly opened my eyes.

The tranquility of spring was gone, and the entire Taishi Mansion was already a dead silence, and so many maidservants who couldn't remember their names turned into cold corpses. In this battle of Tiger Prison Pass, the elite of the Xiliang soldiers were exhausted, and less than 100 people stayed in the Taishi Mansion, and now, they have all died in Huangquan.

…… Except for me.

"I thought you would kill Dong Zhuo and avenge the imperial brother." A cold voice suddenly sounded, and a shadow blocked my sunlight.

When I looked up, I saw a little poisonous tongue.

Behind him was a group of palace guards, their blades still dripping blood.

"I'm really unwilling, I was so laborious to arrange it last time, but it turned out that he still let him escape." Liu Xie hated and hated.

Last? The premeditated assassination on the streets of Luoyang was actually the handiwork of a little poisonous tongue?

This kid has grown up.

"Do you wonder why I came to this Taishi's Mansion?" Looking at me, Liu Xie smiled coldly.

Such a child, I sighed to myself.

Holding on to the trunk of the tree, I stood up, my hands and feet as if they had been filled with lead.

"The wrath of the king, the blood is shed for a thousand miles." Liu Xie opened his mouth, his expression was terrifying, "I hate to tear Dong Zhuo with my own hands." ”

"So, taking advantage of Dong Zhuo's absence, he came to kill some old and weak women and children to vent his anger?" My expression must be cold.

Because, my heart is cold.

Liu Xie looked at me, and his immature face was unmatched and lonely.

"Dong Zhuo's trip, there is no return." He was adamant.

I was slightly stunned, and then smiled lightly: "He will come back." The tone must have surprised even me.

I believe that Dong Zhuo will come back, and it has nothing to do with history. Because, I believe, this time, he will never leave me alone.

"The Tiger Prison is a strong general, Dong Zhuo will definitely die." Liu Xie looked at me and said affirmatively.

Suppressing the pain in my heart, I lowered my eyes and stared at my left index finger, the tiny scar darker in color.

"And you, don't you think there's anything wrong?" Looking at me, Liu Xie suddenly smiled, like a child who had succeeded in mischievous, "Break your soul." ”

Broken Souls? I laughed, it didn't sound like a good name.

"If you are poisoned, you will be paralyzed and drowsy, and within a year, you will die in your sleep without a trace of abnormality."

"That's right." I nodded, not surprised.

The wounds on my fingertips, the growing weight of my body, how could I be unaware of all this?

"Aren't you afraid of death? Wang Situ's poison is not solved by anyone in the world except himself, follow me back to the palace, and I will let Wang Situ solve your poison. Liu Xie pursed his lips, with smugness in his eyes.

Killing Dong Zhuo will cause the Xiliang Mutiny, so he will use such a roundabout poison, drag it on for a year, and die in his sleep, not even a trace of tongue will fall.

That day in the kitchen of Situ Mansion, my fingers cut by broken bowls, and the white powder scattered on the ground, which should have been used to deal with Dong Zhuo, were not even a little flustered and uncomfortable.

Dong Zhuo is dead, I will be heartbroken, and then I will be in pain.

I never knew that people could be in such pain, that they could be in that pain.

On the screen, other people's stories are interpreted, and other people's tears are shed...... Even though it is vivid, it is always difficult to be sincere, and when I met Dong Zhuo, I tasted the pain......

However, I have never regretted it.

I shook my head and squinted at the blue sky overhead. If you close your eyes, you don't have to worry about anything, you don't have to think about anything...... There is no need to be afraid of Dong Zhuo's fate, there is no need to heartache Wang Yun's sorrow, and there is no need to take into account the forbearance of the little poisonous tongue......

They should all have their own endings......

I thought a lot, standing beyond that ending.

They were so entangled, and in the end, it was my heart that had already been worn to the ground. If I close my eyes first, I don't have to care about anything, I don't have to look at anything.

Originally a passerby, I had a big excuse to run away.

The corners of my lips curled slightly, and I smiled slowly: "Perhaps, it's okay to be dead." ”

Liu Xie looked at me and was slightly stunned.

I was suddenly so sleepy that I didn't want to speak.

"Dong Zhuo, he won't come back."

I looked at Liu Xie quietly, with a hint of helplessness.

"Don't you want to let me go even if you die?" I heard myself sigh softly.

"You promised the imperial brother to help me." Liu Xie gritted his teeth, like an awkward child.

I lowered my eyes.

"Someone must be responsible for the death of the imperial brother." Liu Xie looked at me, "Since you care about Dong Zhuo so much, it would be better for you to atone for him." ”

I looked down and remembered the white rabbit's dying expression.

"You'd rather die than go back to the palace with me?!" Liu Xie's voice sharpened.

I was tired and speechless.

"I'm not as you want! Come on, take Diao Chan back to the palace! ”

Dong Zhuo's life and death in the Tiger Prison are uncertain, but I am already in the palace, leaving the empty Taishi Mansion that has been turned into a cemetery.

All around, it is gorgeous. Gorgeous rooms, gorgeous clothes, but I look at the gorgeous palace walls all day long. There were days and nights, and sometimes, I felt as if I had become a corpse, and the outside world was far away from me......

Until......

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

A slightly cold hand ran over my cheek, and I opened my eyes to see the man dressed in white.

"I've always hated it when someone owes me." That time, when I left Situ Mansion, he said so.

At that time, he knew that I was going to end up today, but I didn't break it at the time.

"Why...... You can always easily forgive Dong Zhuo's mistakes, but you will always ...... Can't forgive me? He spoke, his voice calm.

I laughed bitterly.

I, with only one person and one heart, have to be torn in half? Diao Chan loves the man with his life, how can I be indifferent?

Wang Yun sat down beside me and stretched out his hand, there was a transparent pill in his palm, the pill was round and transparent, and there was a faint fragrance wafting from it.

"It's the antidote."

"What are the conditions?"

Wang Yun's expression was a little astringent: "This is an antidote, and it is also a poison...... It's called, Forgetfulness Dan. ”

"Forgetfulness pill......" I murmured, "from love gives birth to sorrow, from love to fear; Where is fear without love......"

Just forget, and you'll be safe.

Wang Yun was slightly stunned, and then returned to his usual color: "It's good that you understand." ”

I looked up at Wang Yun, my eyes were a little confused: "Diao Chan, eat this?" ”

On that day, she didn't even recognize Lu Bu, so I knew that something was wrong.

"No memory is best for her." Wang Yun said in a low voice.

"Even you...... Don't remember? ”

"Perhaps, it's better that she really hasn't met me, and now she looks very happy. She said her name was Lele. ”

Lele ...... I think of the conversation she had with Lu Bu that day, the meaning of Lele...... Not this one. Even if you have no memory, even if you forget the person who once could give up your life to love each other, do you still remember the child who didn't have a chance? For that child, in fact, she ...... There is also reluctance, and it will also hurt my heart.

"No memory is best for her." Wang Yun repeated, as if to confirm something, as if he was convincing himself.

is as cold as him, and he will be moved by the love that Diao Chan is so fiery and stubborn that he expresses it with his life.

Staring fixedly at the transparent pill in his palm, my mind wandered a little.

Eat? Don't eat?

Eat, and I will forget everything, and all the happy, painful, and unforgettable memories will be washed away; If I don't eat, I only have a year left.

No memory, for her, is the best. Wang Yun said.

Perhaps. It's just that I'd rather die of pain than forget.

What to do......

"One year, just one year." I spoke, looking very calm.

Wang Yun frowned: "Would you rather die than forget that person?" ”

"It's not just one person, here, I have a lot of memories that I don't want to forget." I spoke lightly, and my voice was distant, "Like some stubborn little medicine pot, like ...... Stinky Scholar...... For example, Mochizuki Tower...... For example, the one who is always dressed in white and has a gentle face......"

Wang Yun clenched his fists slightly, turned around and brushed his sleeves.

Looking at his back, I slowly closed my eyes.

There was a burst of fragrant fragrance on the nose, which was the fragrance of the Forgetful Pill.

"Eat it." In my ears was his gentle voice. At some point, he turned back and stood beside my couch.

"I don't want that kind of thing, I'm ...... Nothing. "I tilted my head slightly, I didn't look at him, I heard my own voice too lazy to get tired.

"What if I say...... Is Dong Zhuo back? ”

I opened my eyes, slightly stunned.

Wang Yun laughed, there was a faint pain in his eyes, he reached out and handed it to my lips, and the palm of his hand was the transparent pill: "Eat it." ”

"Dong Zhuo, are you back?" I asked lightly.

"Tiger Prison Pass was defeated, but Dong Zhuo returned to Luoyang alive." Wang Yun said lightly.

I lowered my eyes and said nothing.

"Why? The same Heavenly Evil Lone Star, the same murderous body, why, I can't? Looking at me, Wang Yun's always calm voice rippled, "At the beginning, if I had picked you up and guarded you for fifteen years, then ...... Today, will you shed tears for me? ”

Will? Will?

I do not know.

"What about you, if it wasn't me who met Diao Chan at the beginning, but Diao Chan, then today, would you die for Diao Chan without regret?" Looking at Wang Yun, I spoke softly.

Wang Yun was slightly stunned, and then smiled lightly: "Cicada, she will never feel heartache for me again, if Dong Zhuo dies, will you forgive me?" As soon as the topic changed, Wang Yun spoke.

Frowning slightly, I looked at Wang Yun: "What do you mean?" ”

The little pain in the slightly cool eyes gradually deepened, Wang Yun didn't say anything, raised his hand to pick me up, and walked out the door.

"Where to take me?" I struggled and had to be quiet.

"Out of the palace."

Leaving this gorgeous cage and leaving the room, Wang Yun carried me all the way out of the palace.

"Your Excellency!" A person hurried to meet him.

I squinted and looked at it for a long time, Baozheng? The treasure of Mochizuki Tower? He is Wang Yun's confidant.

"My lord, the palace gate is blocked, and things have changed." Bao Zheng knelt down on one knee and reported it.

Wang Yun frowned slightly, and sat me down on the railing next to the corridor: "Don't move here, wait for me to pick you up." With that, he and Bao Zheng hurriedly left.

Looking at their backs, I frowned slightly, and the feeling of rain coming and the wind filling the building made me uneasy.

Holding my hands on, I forced myself to get up, only to find that my limbs were as heavy and weak as if they had been filled with lead, and I stumbled out as I struggled to adapt.

In such chaos, Dong Zhuo must have come back, he must be looking for me.

The court was strangely sparsely populated, and occasionally someone walked by, but they were also in a hurry, and no one paid attention to me.

The palace was too big, and after walking all the way, I actually turned back to the Zhaode Palace.

"Bang!"

The sound of something being smashed, I sudden.

"Your Majesty, you should learn to be indistinguishable from joy and anger." Princess Wan's voice was faint, without a trace of anxiety.

"Dong Zhuo! Dong Zhuo! Dong Zhuo! Why did he come back?! Why didn't he die in the Tiger Prison?! Liu Xie gritted his teeth, and the sharp voice made people's hearts tense when he heard it.

"The emperor is in too much of a hurry, you shouldn't have copied the Taishi's Mansion, and you shouldn't have kidnapped that woman into the palace." Princess Wan's voice was a little calm.

I was slightly stunned, and my suspicions suddenly appeared.

"Those coalition forces outside the Tiger Prison Pass, which one is not eyeing the throne, Dong Zhuo is just a bird, and when they eliminate Dong Zhuo, they will naturally become another Dong Zhuo." Princess Wan said lightly, "If it weren't for the death of Bian'er, that group of tigers and wolves would never have moved their troops so quickly to attack Dong Zhuo." ”

"What do you mean......" Liu Xie's voice trembled with a hint of uncertainty.

"Your Majesty, you must guard this world well, King Hongnong died for you." Princess Wan's voice was stoic, but it carried a hint of sadness, "Only by letting Dong Zhuo bear such a heinous crime as killing the royal family can the rebellious ministers and thieves die without a place to be buried, and can those traitors who vainly try to occupy the world of the Han family appear one by one." Her voice grew colder and colder, and she was extremely resentful.

I see...... Slowly retreating, I was shocked and cold. It turned out that the little white rabbit was sorry when he was dying...... He said it to me. He...... Fooled me.

Risking his own life, he deceived me.

In the end, he used his thin and young life to defend his imperial brother Liu Xie, and defend the Liu family, which had long been ruined......

The corners of my lips unconsciously lifted slightly, and I laughed sarcastically.

In this world, who is right and who is wrong?

Is it right to protect the Liu family? Is it wrong to protect what you love? In this troubled world, whose fingertips have not been stained with blood? Whose heart has not been as hard as iron?

Without a moment's hesitation, I turned to leave.

"Who dares to trespass on the Zhaode Palace!" Someone spotted me and yelled.

I was slightly alarmed.

"Take the emperor away." Inside the house, Princess Wan's voice sounded unhurriedly.

When she looked at it again, she had already walked out gracefully. She looked at me, condescending.

"Let's go down." She raised her hand, and the guards retreated.

"How about coming in and sitting?" She looked at me and slowly pursed her lips.

I stood still, silent.

"Don't worry, my purpose is not Dong Zhuo's life." Seeing that I did not move, she spoke again.

"Do you want to use the hand of the coalition to break Dong Zhuo's wings, and then take away his Xiliang army, and then deal with the group of tiger and wolf divisions of the coalition army?" I spoke slowly, and I was a little impressed by the depth of the city in front of me.

Princess Wan was slightly stunned and smiled faintly.

"Who's your guest on the camera?" Seeing her smile, I asked.

The smile disappeared, and Princess Wan's face turned pale.

"Isn't it? You are so sure that you can take Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers, naturally you have extraordinary bargaining chips. ”

Princess Wan ignored me, but she looked at the sky to herself.

In the western sky, the remnant sun is like blood, reflecting the blood red of the heavens and the earth.

"It's time to burn." Muttering, she whispered.

It's time to burn?

I was surprised, and a trace of uneasiness slowly spread through my heart......

In the distance, there was the smell of fireworks, and the smoke was so thick that people wanted to shed tears.

Flames burst into the sky......

I froze where I was.
