Yan Wuxian still looked at me with a slight smile, his face was indifferent and meaningless, but the words that were as light as if the wind was blowing caused endless ripples in my heart.

Empress Zhaolie, like me?

How wrong it sounds. Not to mention that Empress Zhaolie has already passed away, even if she is also a person of my mother's generation in terms of age, no matter how you say it, it should be me like her, how can she be like me?

How is it that this man doesn't even understand this truth?

However, looking at him, he is not the kind of person who can talk nonsense.

Thinking of this, I deliberately laughed and said, "Dao Elder is joking." ”

He also smiled: "This is a mistake made by the poor way." ”

“……”

"It's not that Queen Zhaolie is like you."

“……”

"Rather, the statue of the Empress of the Summoning Spirit—the one you like."

“……！”

I've heard people say I'm like Queen Zhaolie more than once, and that didn't make me feel anything, but this sentence made my heart jump and I looked at him with wide eyes in shock. Yan Wuxian still looked at me with a faint but calm smile, but after a long time of staring, he seemed to be a little emotional, and muttered: "You, it's really too similar......"

I just felt cold for a moment.

There was a suffocating feeling of suffocation that had been hanging over my head for a long time, enveloping the whole person, unable to breathe, unable to move, and I stood motionless, but it seemed as if the whole person would be cracked and shattered by the cold wind in the next moment.

After a long time, he said with some difficulty: "You, who are you?" ”

He just looked at me and didn't speak.

"Why do you know—"

“……”

"You, are you from Xichuan?"

Looking at my frightened expression, Yan Wuxian smiled faintly and said, "Poor Dao said too much today. ”

“……”

"Farewell."

Seeing him turn around to leave, although it made me nervous to stay in front of me, it made me feel even more uneasy when he was actually leaving.

I don't know who this person is, and how many secrets he knows about me. The feeling of not knowing anything about other people, but being completely under the control of others, made me very uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, I stepped forward: "Please wait a minute. ”

He also obediently stopped, but he didn't look back, just pointed at me with his pale, snowy hair in the wind, and said calmly: "Is there anything else wrong with Lord Yue?" ”

"Don't you still want to find a brand on me?"

"......" he paused, and turned around.

Different from the previous indifference and calmness, at this moment his eyes also showed a bit of solemnity looking at me: "You-"

"What does that brand have to do with you?"

“……”

"Why are you looking for it?"

I don't know why, when he heard me say these two words, he calmed down again, looked at me with deep eyes, looked up and down, and smiled slightly: "Lord Yue, sometimes, people don't have to live so soberly. ”

"What?"

He walked over slowly, looking down condescendingly, this terrace was not high, but it was enough to see too many views of the palace, including the palace maids and eunuchs who were busy walking around in the distance, small enough that one hand could cover all of them. Yan Wuxian said slowly: "It's not necessarily a good thing that you are like her. ”

“……”

"You see so many people in this house, working all day long, how many of them know what they are living for? How many people have thought about how they are going to live? ”

“……”

"But don't they live well?"

“……”

"The more you know, the happier you are."

“……”

"It's hard to be confused, but it's not a good thing."

“……”

These words are all what I once said to Liu San'er, who is working hard to learn literacy and is diligent and motivated, obviously when I said to him, I was so sincere and sincere, and I was wholeheartedly good for him, but now these words sound to me, but I feel annoyed that I can't say it.

It's ironic.

I seem to understand how he was feeling at that time.

So, I smiled coldly: "Sure enough, if you stab someone else, no matter how distressed you are, it won't hurt." ”

Speechless was stunned, and looked at me in a daze.

I said almost scathingly, "Looks like you know enough." However, you know so much, but you advise people not to live too soberly. Do you think this is convincing? ”

Yan Wuyi was stabbed by my words, and he was so stunned that he didn't answer the words for a long time, and after a long time, he smiled a little reluctantly: "Poor Dao has never known, Jixian Zhengzi is not too sharp in addition to the tip of the pen, and the original tongue is not too much." ”

"Laughing."

"Since Lord Yue wants to know more," he turned slowly, "why don't you find the answer yourself?" ”

“……”

This time, I was defeated by him.

Indeed, since you don't want to be confused, you should learn to be sober by yourself; If you want to know the truth of the matter, you should find the answer yourself.

Looking at my stunned expression for a moment, I looked back half-headed, and said softly: "Poor Dao has taken his leave." ”

With that, he left.

I had been standing on the terrace, looking at his back as if it had been blown away by the wind, leaving only the chill that slowly rose after the twilight fell on the empty corridor.

Go and ...... yourself Looking for answers?

I slowly turned my head and looked at the already heavy canopy of heaven in the distance, at the end of the clouds and mountains, there used to be my past, my secrets; Perhaps, there is a divorce; Maybe......

There are these mysteries that even I can't solve.

However, there are still nine-fold three halls in front of me, this unbreakable red wall, how can I find my departed son and find those answers?

After standing on the terrace for a long time, until it was a little dark, and my whole body was cooled by the wind, I shivered slightly, and turned to leave.

But just as he was about to walk down the steps, he saw a familiar figure slowly walking over to the other end of the corridor.

Nangong Lizhu.

During the state funeral, she was not as luxurious as in the past, but in the twilight, she could still see dazzling gold and silver threads wrapped around this beautiful woman who had captivated the country and the city, and almost lit up the twilight along the way.

My eyebrows furrowed slightly, and I stood still.

She kept walking up, and did not speak immediately, but looked into the distance, lanterns had begun to be hung up everywhere in the palace, dotted with stars, giving people the illusion of being in Tianhe, she said slowly beside me: "What are you looking at here?" ”

“……”

"Look at your daughter?"

My heart trembled slightly at the mention of Li'er, and I turned my head to look at her.

In the Juma River Valley, I "don't save her when I see death", even if the two sides don't tear their faces, but they are almost the same, but there is no need to ask for peace and greet as in the past: "You remember, my daughter." ”

"Actually, I almost forgot about it."

“……”

"But when I saw that kid today, I remembered it again."

As she spoke, she slowly turned to look at me, and said word by word, "Everything, I remembered." ”

For some reason, when I met her gaze, I suddenly felt an inexplicable chill in my heart.

I hate her, and I have never stopped and changed all these years; I also know that she hates me, because of Pei Yuanxiu, because of the "humiliation" I brought her, I went back and forth with her, and over the years, I have been familiar with each other.

But looking at her eyes now, it makes me feel a strange trembling feeling.

It's something I've never felt in her before.

Just then, there was a shuffled sound of footsteps under the terrace.

Before we got closer, we heard the voices of Shui Xiu and Rui Zhu, both of whom were calling us, and when they saw me and Nangong Lizhu standing on the terrace, they hurriedly ran up. Shui Xiu immediately came over to help me: "My lord, why are you still blowing the wind here?" Carefully caught a cold. ”

After speaking, she seemed to have just seen Nangong Lizhu, and hurriedly saluted: "The slave maid has seen Concubine Li." ”

Nangong Lizhu just looked at her coldly, with a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes, the Ruizhu girl was clever, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, why are you still here." The emperor just went to the Yuhua Palace, and he couldn't see the mother, and he was angry. ”

"Oh?"

When Nangong Lizhu heard this, the tips of her spring willow-like eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of her eyes glanced at me.

I didn't speak.

She sneered, and walked slowly down with the help of Ruizhu, and said leisurely as she walked: "I am still the emperor, and I want to stay at Princess Ling's place tonight." ”

"Hee-hee," Rui Zhu said in a voice that was not big enough for us to hear, "after all, it's just a princess." ”

Seeing that they were walking away, I stood on the terrace and didn't move, but Shui Xiu pouted angrily: "What! ”

I didn't speak, just walked slowly down the steps.

Shui Xiu rushed over to help me, she was still a little angry, and was about to scold and say something, I whispered: "Shui Xiu, go back and stare at the Yuhua Palace." ”

Shui Xiu was stunned when he heard this: "What's the matter, my lord?" Didn't Xiaofuzi keep an eye on that side for us? ”

"Not enough. Call Xiao Fuzi and ask him to find a few little eunuchs. ”

"What's wrong? Is there something going on? ”

“……”

I thought about it and shook my head.

These days, since I found out that things in the south may have something to do with foreign goods and some contacts overseas, almost all of my attention has been on that side, for Nangong Lizhu, since the fall of Shen Rou, she has been quiet, although I know that this quiet is only the surface, maybe there is a bigger undercurrent hidden, but because of other things, it also makes me a little relaxed.

Just now, her words that were not light or heavy made me shudder.

No matter what those things are, the most important thing is to live in front of you.

Between me and Nangong Lizhu, sooner or later there will be a contest and a decision, but before the matter is over, no one knows, who dies and who lives.
