Chapter 185: Thank you for waking up my nightmare
Chu Yi didn't have time to think about it, and as soon as the picture turned, the surroundings suddenly became extremely dark.
She found herself standing on a high platform, next to Xiao Yan, a boy who was taller than just now, slumped to the ground, his body constantly moving back, as if he was terrified to the extreme.
Chu Yi followed his line of sight, and saw countless snakes hovering under the high platform, with sharp teeth and sharp mouths, "hissing", those snakes continued to climb up along the cave made of stone, and when they were halfway up, they fell because they were too smooth, even if she knew that it was just a dream, she was terrified.
Here, it's the Snake Cave.
She turned her head sharply, and saw in the distance, a figure in palace clothes was walking in.
Chu Yi instantly understood that this was the scene of Xiao Yan's childhood, and in the next moment, Xiao Yan would be pushed down the snake cave by Wei Rudai.
She rushed forward, wanting to stop Wei Rudai, but she could only watch herself pass through the woman's body.
Do you want to watch him fall into the snake cave?
Even if it was in a dream, she didn't want such a thing to happen.
Chu Yi lowered her head and saw that she was still dressed as usual, and the dagger that Xiao Yan gave her before was hanging on her waist.
She pulled out her dagger and plunged it hard into her thigh.
She didn't feel any pain in her dreams, but she struggled desperately to get rid of this muddy nightmare, and finally opened her eyes.
"Hoo ......"
Chu Yi woke up in Weiyang Palace sweating profusely, and breathed a long sigh of relief, she found that she was still lying on the bed, and the lights were dim outside, still in the middle of the night.
Without hesitation, she sat up and got out of bed.
"What happened to Your Highness? Why did you wake up suddenly, did you want to keep the New Year?"
Xun Chun, who was on duty outside, also woke up and rubbed his eyes.
Chu Yi asked, "What time is it?"
"The time of the child has passed, and now is the time of ugliness."
As he spoke, Chu Yi had already dressed and almost ran out.
As soon as she stepped out of the dormitory, the cold air invaded her, and the scene in her dream became clearer and clearer, and she became more and more anxious.
Seeing that the two people who controlled the crane division followed closely, Xun Chun relieved his heart, and went to the side hall to wake up the sleeping drinking ice, and asked her to follow to protect the princess.
The chill of the night hit, and Chu Yi ran faster, so much so that she couldn't feel the presence of the cold wind at all.
A moment later, she saw the snow-covered laurel tree in the Bright Moon Pavilion.
Chu Yi finally stopped and went straight in.
When she was about to arrive at Xiao Yan's room, Jiang Zhiying came out with a puzzled look on her face: "The princess went there late at night—"
"Get out of the way."
Chu Yi's voice was hoarse, and two black-robed guards suddenly appeared behind her, staring at him fixedly, releasing a cold breath.
Jiang Zhiying thought about it, silently got out of the way, and Chu Yi had already pushed the door in.
The moonlight shone through the crack in the window, and a ray of silver light jumped on the young man's handsome face, making him look more and more like a sleeping god, cold and silent.
His eyes were closed, his brow furrowed, and the black hair on his forehead was already wet with sweat.
"Xiao Yan," Chu Yi stepped forward and called out restrainedly, "Xiao Yan, wake up quickly!"
Xiao Yan didn't react, as if he was in a nightmare.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhiying realized that something was wrong with Xiao Yan, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Childe, what's wrong? Looks like you're having a nightmare?"
She gritted her teeth and pulled Xiao Yan's collar directly, almost pulling him up.
Just when the Ying next to him thought that the Duke of Yongning was going to do something indecent to his son-in-law, Chu Yi yelled in Xiao Yan's ear: "Wake up, if you don't wake up, I'll wake you up!"
Title: "......"
Under a series of movements, Xiao Yan finally reacted, his eyelids trembled, and he slowly opened, his pale golden eyes were like years of wine, confused and confusing.
Chu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, in the dream, she realized the source of her dreams all along.
She still remembered that before, she had stayed in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and that night she dreamed of someone in her previous life after being drunk, and after waking up, Xiao Yan's expression was not quite right.
And when she was assassinated in the suburbs of Beijing, she dreamed of Xiao Yan's childhood experience in a coma, but Xiao Yan was unconscious at that time, she woke up several times halfway, stayed by his bed and fell asleep a few times, half-asleep, and her dreams were also very chaotic.
On this Chinese New Year's Eve, when everyone was reunited, only Xiao Yan was in a foreign country, and he was likely to recall his parents, and he dreamed of Wei Rudai and Xiao Jixing.
She finally understood.
- She didn't actually dream, but entered Xiao Yan's dream!
In other words, when she dreamed of those, Xiao Yan also dreamed of the same scene.
It's just that Xiao Yan is not reborn, so maybe some things related to his previous life will be forgotten when he wakes up.
And this time, even if it was something he had experienced in his childhood, Chu Yi didn't want him to experience it again in his dream, so she rushed desperately to interrupt his nightmare.
"You're finally awake." Chu Yi said.
"Yes, Childe, you just scared your subordinates to death, but it's okay Princess Yongning......
Jiang Zhiying was about to say something, but Chu Yi swept over with a look, and he quickly shut up.
How do you feel that the princess's eyes are exactly the same as Childe now?
"Ah Yi ......" Xiao Yan's voice was hoarse after sleeping, his dark eyes slowly returned to clarity, like calm and warm amber, and the corners of his lips slowly rose in an arc.
"Why are you here?"
"Tell me first, are you having a nightmare?" Chu Yi asked seriously.
Xiao Yan nodded and replied obediently, "Yes...... How does the princess know about the experience of being in the snake cave when she dreamed of her childhood?"
It's just that he was woken up by Chu Yi before he dreamed of falling completely.
At this time, Chu Yi confirmed his guess.
"Of course, this princess is witty and smart, and I guessed when I saw that you couldn't wake up." She said.
Xiao Yan looked at Jiang Zhiying, the latter's expression was "Childe, she's lying to you", he retracted his gaze, smiled, and said, "What is the princess looking for a minister?"
He knew that Chu Yi must have noticed something when he came to him in such a hurry, but he didn't force her to tell him.
In Xiao Yan's mind, it was still the scene in the dream just now.
He dreamed that when he was a child, just when Wei Rudai was about to push himself into the snake cave, he seemed to hear Chu Yi's voice.
She's calling her name.
The voice was like a hand, pulling him out of the darkness and fog.
Chu Yi thought for a while and said, "Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, let's keep the New Year."
Xiao Yan nodded, got up and put on his clothes, picked up the thin blanket and handstove next to him, and whispered, "Okay."
Jiang Zhiying said helplessly, "But the subordinates ...... My subordinates drank a lot at night, and they were really tired, so they couldn't accompany the princess and her son to celebrate the New Year."
Chu Yi and Xiao Yan looked at him in unison, and said in unison, "Who wants you to accompany you?"
Jiang Ying's expression froze, and he left angrily, deciding that from now on, as long as it was related to Princess Yongning, he would never get together again!
Chu Yi cheered up and asked Jiang Zhiying and the two Crane Control Divisions to find a palace lamp and a lot of candles to illuminate the Mingyue Pavilion everywhere.
In Yan Country, in order to welcome the arrival of the New Year, everyone has the habit of keeping the New Year, that is, not sleeping all night on Chinese New Year's Eve.
It's just that Chu Yi's body has been weak since she was a child, and she will never do this kind of hurting her body, and she is sleepy after being reborn, so she rested early when she returned to Weiyang Palace from the family banquet today.
This is the first time she has celebrated the New Year with others.
Chu Yi yawned, and sat down lazily on the small rattan chair in the courtyard arranged by Xiao Yan, wrapped in a thick cloak and blanket, carrying a warm hand stove in his arms, only revealing a small head.
Her fair face was stained crimson by the warm heat, and her clear apricot eyes became more and more attractive.
The night sky when the fireworks disperse is like dark blue silk,
There are no stars, and the moon shines brightly.
Xiao Yan placed the charcoal fire closer, and then sat down beside her.
"Xiao Yan, do you Yongguo also have the custom of keeping the New Year?" Chu Yi asked in a low voice.
Xiao Yan said: "All countries in the Central Plains probably have such customs."
"yes, how did you just sleep?"
"The Shadow is drunk."
Xiao Yan did not hesitate to buckle the pot to Jiang Zhiying.
"I see, then the palace ordered you to drink less in the future." Chu Yi said seriously, maybe the reason why Xiao Yan dreamed was that he was drunk.
Xiao Yan suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed one of Chu Yi's little fingers, shook it, and said seriously, "I will never drink from now on."
His palms were warm and soft, Chu Yi hooked his fingers, and his smile became more and more flattering: "Well, that's fine."
She thought of something: "But...... If you want to drink, you have to drink it, at least if you want to drink, you have to accompany you."
"Okay." Xiao Yan said, adding the words "Hejiu" in his heart.
After talking for a while, Chu Yi was sleepy again, and felt that the moon in the sky had become two or three, and there were dim spots of light all around.
Before falling asleep, Chu Yi only heard Xiao Yan say, "Thank you for coming, waking up my nightmare."
In the end, she didn't succeed in keeping the New Year, Xiao Yan saw that no one answered for a long time, and he turned his head to see that the princess was already asleep.
He stood up, and he gently picked up the thin blanket that the princess had on her.
Kong Hesi and Yin Bing appeared, Xiao Yan pointed to the Moon Pavilion, then hugged Chu Yi, gently put her on his bed, and covered her with a quilt.
Immediately, he exited the room, came to the room of the partial hall Jiang Ying, calmly squeezed it aside, and closed his eyes.
The smile on his lips never faded.
*
After Chinese New Year's Eve, the beginning of the new year.
Gu Chengqi, who had previously gone to Nanfu for disaster relief and did not even return to Beijing for the Chinese New Year, reported the news that the famine in Nanfu was aggravating, and people's hearts were fluctuating.
But fortunately, in order to help Chu Yi's Yulin Army replenish the inventory, Gu Chengqi purchased a large amount of grain and grass, and after the fall of the Fan family, the family property was cleared, which also made the treasury rich, so the disaster relief went smoothly.
Chu Yi was relieved when he learned about it, the Gu family's shops were all over Dayan, and Gu Chengqi was there, whether it was disaster relief silver taels or food, they could be arranged in an orderly and extremely fast manner.
The famine that damaged Yan Guo's vitality in his previous life was resolved in advance.
The ministers who were still opposed to the Gu family before the DPRK and China had to admit in the face of famine that only Gu Chengqi and the Gu family had the ability to provide disaster relief, and the Gu family contributed money and efforts.
Moreover, this matter is also thanks to Princess Yongning's foresight.
The ministers who had said before that the princess was involved in politics and misled the country also shut up one by one.
The last snow in winter fell on the day Chu Zhao left Beijing.
On the official road in the suburbs of Beijing, Chu Yi rode on top of the snow training that had grown into a prime-age horse.
She had been waiting here for a long time, and the wind and snow had fallen on her snow-white clothes, and her black hair had also been dyed silver.
The drinking ice behind her was wearing a light cyan robe, and Xiao Yan was also wearing a moon-white robe, riding on the same growing Xia Ying, the pale robe seemed to be integrated with the snow, only the red war horse under the crotch was like a burning flame.
Chu Yi looked at the direction of the city gate from a distance, and at this moment, Chu Zhao was being escorted out of Beijing by the people of the dark hall.
There was no way to meet in the palace, so she could only wait on the way Chu Zhao had to leave Beijing.
was also exiled, the Fan family had a large number of people, and they had to be escorted again in the spring, while Chu Zhao was sent to Liangzhou alone for a period of time in advance, and he would not disturb the people when he left Beijing.
Along the way, they were carefully guarded by the people of the dark hall.
At the gate of the city, Father-in-law Zhang, who was dressed in a navy green robe, hugged his fists: "Young Master Chu, cherish all the way."
Chu Zhao said lightly: "If the news of my exile today reaches Fan Qiong
However, in her ears, she will definitely contact me at all costs, and at that time, my father-in-law can use me as bait, follow the vine, and completely pull out the nails from the Fan family in the dark hall, so as to clear the harem."
Gonggong Zhang didn't expect Chu Zhao to be exiled, and thinking about this, his mood was extremely complicated.
"The slave understands, the slave thanks Gongzi for his advice, but His Majesty said that if you want to see the Fan family, you can also see it."
Among His Majesty's princes, the family background, talent, and strategy of the four princes are all top-notch, and he is the only one who can be compared with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but who would have thought about it...... It's really embarrassing.
"Seeing or not seeing, there is no meaning anymore." Chu Zhao's eyes flashed Fan Qiongran's hysterical roar, and when she was young, she took his hand and told him that General Su, who was about to go on the expedition, was his biological father.
Finally, there is Forsythia's pale face.
The mother-son relationship between them has been worn away little by little.
Gonggong Zhang sighed in his heart, settled down, and said in a low voice, "The slave will be sent here to escort your ...... It is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and His Royal Highness and Third Highness have also dealt with it, so you can rest assured all the way."
"Thank you." Chu Zhao breathed and thanked him.
"The minion takes his leave." Gonggong Zhang took one last look at the snowy sky behind Chu Zhao, and then turned around and left.
Chu Zhao lowered his eyes and turned over to get on the horse.
The exile was supposed to be on foot, but Chu Yao didn't know how to use it to give himself a horse to ride.
There are also Chu Ye, Chu Rin, the people who escorted him, and even Chu Yun, who was not familiar with him, prepared a military doctor for him to follow.
Chu Zhao suppressed the sourness in his eyes and walked forward.
He just regretted that the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet became the last meeting between him and Chu Yi.
"Fourth brother!"
A familiar voice sounded in the distance, and Chu Zhao raised his head suddenly.
The familiar girl was standing not far away, her eyes clear and bright, as before.
