In his previous life, Chu Yi still remembers what Chu Zhao did when he was in exile.

At that time, the army of Yongguo captured the four states of Nanfu, and the four states and officials could not stop it, so they surrendered the city.

Shangjing was isolated and had to support the northern province that was attacked by the barbarians, but Prime Minister Fan Cheng advocated peace in the court, intending to cede all the four states of Nanfu to Yongguo, and send Jianmen Pass and other northern states to the barbarians in exchange for their retreat.

At that time, most of the territory of Yan State had fallen, and the negotiation of peace represented surrender, and from then on he bowed down to Yongguo.

If Yongguo hadn't attacked with the barbarians, perhaps, Chu Tingxiao would have chosen to negotiate peace.

But 100,000 Nanfu troops died on the battlefield, and the barbarians and the Central Plains had several generations of blood feuds, and the Yongguo colluded with them, and the Yan State would never surrender.

In the end, Yongguo and other enemy troops from all walks of life approached the capital.

Chu Tingxiao, Chu Ye, Zhang Gonggong, Cen Xiao, Su Xuan...... They died in battle one by one, and when Chu Yi and Chu Yao learned that the Yong army had entered the city and surrounded the Three Princes' Mansion, they could only go to Chu Zhao, who was in charge of part of the dark hall, hoping that he could save Chu Yun.

But when they arrived, the Four Princes' Mansion was empty.

As soon as the city gate was broken, Chu Zhao fled with his mother and concubine, his subordinates, and some officials who advocated peace such as the Fan family.

Moreover, the fact that he was able to flee to Lin'an so quickly and ascend the throne as emperor proves that he has been prepared for a long time, perhaps, he has always wanted to seek power and usurp the throne.

Chu Zhao never intended to coexist with the Yan State, and after he ascended the throne, as the Emperor of Southern Yan, he ceded many cities and lands, and settled down in Lin'an with peace of mind.

The bloody past made Chu Yi unable to believe that Chu Zhao would kill Yiqiu for himself, but the person who was most likely to kill Yiqiu was him.

"Maybe Chu Zhao now is not as ruthless and unrighteous as he was five years later."

Chu Yi could only guess so.

Yi Qiu was loyal to Chu Zhao and finally died at the hands of Chu Zhao, which may be a cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is unpleasant.

Chu Yi settled down, and instructed Xiao Nian to pay more attention to Chu Zhao's usual movements, so he picked up the sugar cup and went to Mingyue Pavilion.

*

Xiao Yan learned the news of Princess Yongning's return to the palace yesterday, and it was Chu Yao who told him.

The Fifth Highness rubbed his buttocks, supported his waist, and came back from outside the palace with the prince, passing by the gate of the palace guarded by Xiao Yan.

Chu Yao's mouth was full of words: "It hurts so much for the queen mother to beat people, Xiaoliu is even more terrifying, she will screw me, woo woo, second brother, what do you say I did wrong, obviously I really didn't go to visit any green building!" ”

The crown prince did not squint, and said lightly: "Father said that if you have it, you will have it." Also, if you can't speak, don't speak, Xiaoliu is white and tender, where is it dark. ”

Chu Yao was aggrieved and muttered, "I'm talking about her compared to last month." ”

When he saw Xiao Yan next to him, he restrained his painful expression again, and stepped forward to take the initiative to say hello: "Xiao Gongzi, you will rest another day, let's go to Shanglin Yuan to ride a horse together, it just so happened that Xiaoliu came back, and there were many people and it was lively." ”

The young man's handsome appearance coincided with Chu Yi's face, Xiao Yan's pupils were slightly condensed, his thin lips pursed down, and he nodded coldly.

Chu Yao didn't care about his coldness, and left happily.

Xiao Yan watched them drift away, and the heart in his chest suddenly beat faster.

Chu Yi is back.

She wasn't afraid of him, she believed in him, and she wouldn't show a look of disgust for herself - now that she's back.

On duty all day, Xiao Yan is looking forward to the end, on the way back, he may pass by Weiyang Palace, even if he doesn't say anything, just look at her from afar.

Although, he didn't pass by Weiyang Palace when he went back.

But when the duty was really over, Xiao Yan walked back to Mingyue Pavilion in silence and sat under the laurel tree in a trance.

On what basis did he go to see Chu Yi?

Could it be that he really wants to tell Geng Chuan about his longing for the little princess?

It's stupid.

And why did he speak for Geng Chuan! He's the master! He's going to kill that idiot Geng Chuan!

On the night when Chu Yi was asleep, Xiao Yan tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

On the second day, he began to look forward to the end of today's duty soon.

"Xiao Gongzi, it's worth today." Father-in-law Zhang came out and said.

"Yes."

Xiao Yan clasped his fists and saluted, and then walked towards Mingyue Pavilion.

The setting sun was low, and the orange sunlight shone obliquely on the vermilion palace wall, pulling out a long shadow at Xiao Yan's feet.

He couldn't help but stop and glanced back at the palace wall, revealing a small yellow pointed temple under the shadow of the trees.

That's Weiyang Palace.

Immediately, he took another step and walked in the opposite direction of Weiyang Palace.

The happy and fast heartbeat slowly calmed down, and finally he walked back to the Mingyue Pavilion and pushed open the pavilion door.

The shadow is now serving as a guard in the front palace and has not yet returned.

In the courtyard, a lush laurel tree grows in the center, the cold stone table, the stone bench, the crimson glow on the eaves, the ground is a gray-black projection, obviously it is only evening, but it looks so barren and deserted here.

Xiao Yan calmly walked into the courtyard, lowered his head, and touched his pocket.

Not a single piece of sugar.

The number of times he left the palace last month has been used, so he can only take some silver tomorrow and ask the little eunuch of the Qianyuan Hall to help him go outside the palace to buy some, Xiao Yan thought to himself.

The sunset completely sank into the sky, and the surroundings were coated with a layer of blue-gray frost, and Xiao Yan felt that his whole body was cold.

Obviously, he had long been accustomed to everything, but when he touched the empty pocket at this moment, his heart suddenly welled up with irrepressible sadness.

He could endure the darkness if Chu Yi hadn't shown up.

A brisk footstep sounded outside the courtyard.

The voice......

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up suddenly, and he ran over quickly and opened the door.

The evening breeze of the twilight poured gently into his eyes.

Chu Yi was holding a sugar jar made of glass in his hand, and when he saw Xiao Yan, he showed a smile:

"Qingfeng Village is in charge? Well, it's a thank you gift. ”

Behind her, the sun was setting, and the light was hidden.

And the brightness in her eyes is better than the thousands of stars in the night sky.

It was dark, but Xiao Yan felt that his heart lit up because of Chu Yi's arrival.

Chu Yi was only followed by Yin Bing, Xiao Yan stabilized his mind, waited for his heartbeat to return to normal, and asked calmly: "Qingfeng Village...... The big boss? What the princess is saying, how can the minister not understand. ”

Chu Yi coughed: "Oh, could it be that the Geng Chuan brothers are the second leader of Qingfeng Village, and there are other people in the big boss?" ”

She said Geng Chuan, Xiao Yan's forehead jumped, and she told herself not to scold.

Geng Chuan is a fool! Chu Yi definitely recognized his identity at first sight!

Before Xiao Yan could think of a reason to get rid of Geng Chuan, Chu Yi had already stuffed the glass sugar jar into his arms.

"The specialty I bought when Bengong passed by Yinzhou," Chu Yi said seriously, "I see that you like to eat sugar, so I will give it to you." ”

Xiao Yan held the sugar jar and stood straight at the door in a daze, looking a little stupid.

Chu Yi said: "You, are you good to taste it?" ”

This is what she bought all over the capital! If Xiao Yan felt unpalatable, she might be so angry that she couldn't sleep tonight.

"Okay." Xiao Yan replied in a low voice, his voice slightly hoarse.

He opened the lid of the sugar cup, and the pale pink sugar cube was placed in the glass cup, reflecting the attractive and beautiful light, and the sweet fragrance came.

Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment and carefully picked up a piece of candy.

Chu Yi stared at him, his eyes shining.

Xiao Yan thought that even if the sugar in front of him was poison, under such a gaze, he would be willing to eat it.

He put the candy cube in his mouth and ate it "click-click-click".

The familiar sweetness of peaches spreads in the mouth, and the texture is hard and crisp......

Xiao Yan's eyes widened slightly, and his shallow phoenix eyes reflected the light of the cyan glass cup, which was very good-looking.

This is a kind of sugar that Yong Guoye was popular many years ago, and now there are various flavors of candy, and peach-flavored ones are rarely sold, but he likes this one the most.

Tasting it carefully, it is still a little different from Ye Du's - what Chu Yi gave him, he thinks it is sweeter.

How could it be such a coincidence? The candy that Chu Yi gave him happened to be his favorite flavor!

And before, she knew that she used a sword, and she knew that she would put candy in her pocket, once or twice was a coincidence, but three times.

Chu Yi seemed to know him very well.

Xiao Yan found that he couldn't be suspicious and wary of her, but a little panic suddenly rose in his heart.

He was afraid that it was just a sweet dream, and when he woke up, he was still in that dark and gloomy room, forced to drink bowl after bowl of medicine.

As long as it wasn't a dream, he longed for this ray of sunshine to warm the cold room.

"Is it delicious?" Chu Yi asked.

Hearing her incomparably real voice, the panic in Xiao Yan's heart disappeared suddenly, and he nodded slightly:

"I love it, thank you...... Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Chu Yi bent his eyes and pressed down his swollen eye sockets.

At this time, Xiao Yan was really coaxing and well-behaved, if he had talked to himself like this before, would they ......

No! The corners of her mouth twitched, and the strange thoughts that rose in her heart were suppressed.

After Chu Yi left, Xiao Yan held the sugar cup and ate another one.

It's very sweet.

Enough is enough.

He can't expect too much.

If it was a dream, he would rather keep it going.

At least in the dream, there was no pain, someone treated him with tenderness.

"Little girl, I seem to understand what you said at the beginning." He thought of the girl who fell into the icy lake in order to save herself, but refused to let go of her hand.

It's really good to be alive.
