Chapter 320: In the two years in Jiankang, why did you lie to me?
The news of an extra beauty in the East Palace spread far and wide.
The people of the palace talked about her identity, but no one could guess where she came from.
"I heard that she is a great beauty who captivates the country and the city!" The palace maid walked through the verandah with a tea tray and bit her ear mysteriously at the little sister, "Even if it's Feng Ji, it's not as beautiful as her!" β
The little palace maid is rare: "Is there really such a beautiful person in the world?" β
"I heard that it is a Han woman, born with ice muscles and jade bones, delicate and slender, just like spring water, naturally different from us."
The two of them talked and went to the end of the verandah.
In the shadow of the corner.
One of the guards leaned quietly against the pillars with a sword in his hand.
He wore the thin armor of Mu Wangfu, and wore a dark gold scarlet headband, and the half piece of metal openwork visor in front of the head covered the upper half of his face just right, revealing only the thin red lips.
"The beauty in the East Palace......"
He rubbed the scabbard of his sword, remembering the secret letter that Xiao Heng had sent him.
The letter said that Ananda was kidnapped by Yuan Cheng.
So the beauty of the East Palace, will it be Ananda?
The guard's lips tightened, and he quietly pressed the openwork visor and walked to the other side.
Because the emperor was seriously ill and could die at any time, the courtiers stayed in the palace, and in the middle of the night, the palace was still brightly lit as day.
A vigorous black shadow quietly swept across the roof of the palace, taking advantage of the moonlight to go in the direction of the East Palace.
The lights of the orchid garden have been extinguished, and only two green lanterns hang under the eaves of the dormitory.
There was a slight orange light and shadow in the flower window, and a thin and slender woman could be vaguely seen, sitting by the bookcase and writing.
The shadow held its breath, avoiding the guards in the shadows, and descended like a breeze through the open back window into the bedroom.
The breeze stirred the pages and the candles flickered.
Pei Daozhu held down the pile of rice paper and looked back curiously.
Behind it is a gold-painted screen, and there is nothing unusual about it.
She was about to withdraw her gaze, but keenly noticed the shadow cast on the ground on the side of the screenβ
Someone was hanging from the beams of the house.
Her hand clenched tightly on the pen, and then she pretended to be okay and put her bookcase in order.
She lifted her skirt and walked to the bed behind the screen.
After taking two steps, she suddenly raised her head, and her voice was calm and cold: "Who is there?!" β
There was a man half-squatting on the beam.
The four looked at each other, even if the other party's face was covered with a black scarf, she recognized the familiar eyebrows at a glance.
She lost her temper: "Xiao Xuance? How did you end up here?! β
The dark shadow frowned.
Pei Daozhu frowned, only stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "You are not him, you are-"
The black shadow jumped down and covered her mouth in time.
The candle on the desk was blown out by the wind.
The light moonlight came through the window, reflecting the figures of the two on the screen, and the raised white skirts and wide sleeves were like old dreams, and the empty dreams of the past turned into real things that could be touched by hands at this moment.
The moonlight jumped slightly in Pei Daozhu's pupils, and the reddened eyes were like a peach blossom.
She pushed away the black shadow's hand, stared at his eyebrows, and even her voice trembled: "Are you...... Brother Xuan Ce? β
The shadow was silent.
"I don't understand...... Pei Daozhu said in a hoarse voice, "In the two years in Jiankang, why did you lie to me?" Why did you approach me with the name 'Xiao Xuance'?! Why did it suddenly disappear without a trace?! β
The sound of insects chirping outside the house made the dormitory even more silent.
I don't know how long it took for the man to speak in a very soft voice: "I have to do it, I'm sorry." β
"What kind of situation does it have to be, can you take the past with a light word?" Pei Daozhu pushed him away, "You and Xiao Heng have the same appearance, but you seem to be living in the dark and can't see people!" Now it appears in Luoyang inexplicably, I don't understand! β
