Chapter 46: Shrinking the ground into inches
Ying'er has a slender figure, but she is not weak, her beautiful little face is covered by thick fat powder, and she stubbornly piles up a kind of dignity that does not belong to her age, and the original almond eyes are also deliberately depicted as flying eyebrows.
Ying'er lifted the hem of her clothes and sat down beside Zhen Xun, just about to hold Zhen Xun's arm as before, snuggling on her shoulder, but there was a trace of pain on her head, thinking that it was also because of the crown and hair ornaments hooked in her hair, Ying'er raised her hand and pulled out a few hairpins, and removed the crown embedded with flower branches.
Ying'er, who was draped in her hair, put her head on Zhen Xun's shoulder socket and rubbed it, and muttered, "Sister, I'm so tired." ”
Zhen Xun gently stroked Ying'er's hair, she still didn't know what Ying'er had experienced in the past two months.
Ying'er in her arms sobbed softly, she reached out to hug Zhen Xun, and quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes on Zhen Xun's clothes.
"Sister Zhen Xun, why don't you take me away?" Ying'er raised her head, looked at Zhen Xun and said.
Zhen Xun used a handkerchief to sort out the corners of her eyes, and she felt indescribably distressed, and she didn't wait for her to ask what happened to Ying'er.
Gongzi Gao on the side knelt down and said, "Please think twice about the city lord." ”
Zhen Xun whispered to persuade Xu Laosi and Xuanyi to go out, closed the doors and windows, and then tidied up his clothes and sat down.
"Ying'er, are you already the city lord? What about not informing me and His Royal Highness King Cheng like this? Zhen Xun looked at Ying'er in surprise.
Ying'er straightened up, looked at Gongzi Gao who was kneeling on the ground, and whispered sadly: "Cousin, why are you ...... now?"
Gongzi Gao held the crown of flowers and branches that Ying'er had just removed with both hands, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look directly at the little girl he had grown up watching since he was a child: "Since the city lord is the lord of a city, he must know the truth of "the small is big, and be cautious". “
"Say no more!" Ying'er shook off the crown of flower branches.
Smack—
The crown of colorful flower branches fell heavily on the copper brick ground, making a dull sound, the vermilion cherry fruit was still dazzling, the slender white jade petals were shattered to the ground, and the phoenix bird made of golden silk seemed to be frightened, trembling its wings slightly, but still could not escape the luxurious crown.
Ying'er turned around and kicked down the gilded hanger with the phoenix tail robe, "For this robe, this crown, I envy the family and my wives are scattered, fratricidal, I can't even be the master of my own life, what else do you say about the city lord!" “
Ying'er covered her face with her hands, her shoulders trembled, and when she looked up at Gongzi Gao again, her eyes were cold, and her lips were already dyed with a cold sneer: "Didn't my cousin tell me before, the way to be a king is nothing more than loving the people, but now that I am the lord of the city, what I do is something that reverses right and wrong, distorts good and evil?" ”
Ying'er was shaking her head and talking, but a tear had already passed by her curved lips, and the only pearl hairpin left between her temples was also shaking, and her backward steps became staggering.
"That day, A-Niang left for several days and did not come back, in my dream, I saw someone knocking down a stone pillar by the river, A-Niang she was crushed in the Hyun River by a stone pillar, she wanted to get up, but she couldn't move at all, I ...... I was right next to her, but I couldn't pull her, Ah Niang, she opened her mouth to call for help, but the muddy water poured into her mouth and nose, I also felt the suffocating muddy smell, the sand and gravel slipped into my nose, Ah Niang She was calling me, she was calling me at the time, but I was by her side. But she couldn't move, she could only watch her drown in the water......
Zhen Xun felt that her body was gradually cold, just like she gradually lost her body temperature after soaking in the water that day, numbness replaced the sharp pain, and with a sense of despair of loss, she looked at her left hand, the left hand that still existed.
It's over, it's all over, Zhen Xun said to himself.
Ying'er cried like a child in Zhen Xun's arms, after the day Liang Sheng died "accidentally", the old city lord summoned her into his dormitory before she had time to wear linen and filial piety, and in the next dozens of days and nights, the drowning person was replaced by her. Ying'er understands that she has been in a river that cannot be crossed since she was born.
The mother-in-law said that before the Great Song was established, the ancestors of Panlong City were the descendants of Xuanniao, just like the merchants. Later, the musicians drove away the Xuanniao, and Chifeng took the leading ancestor to Panlong City. The city lords of the past dynasties have all come from the Xian family, because there has been a woman from the Xian family in the past dynasties who exchanged her life for the prosperity of the entire city.
After Panlong City had a foothold, the Xian family thought that there was no need to rely on the power of Chifeng, so they broke the agreement......
It was late at night, but Zhen Xun's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, and as soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Muru beside Ying'er hurriedly walking over with a box of things, and there was a familiar smell wafting from the box.
Zhen Xun followed Mo Nu to Ying'er's bedroom, there was still the crown of flower branches on the table on the side, and all the fragments of the white jade flower pieces were packed aside. This is the benzoin that the Xian family bought with a lot of money, I asked Muru to get you some? “
It turned out that she felt familiar with this fragrance, because the spice recipe was seven or eight points similar to the benzoin that Kang Hui gave her, Zhen Xun smiled and shook his head.
Ying'er also thought of something, and was amused by what she had just done: "Immortals won't be troubled by insomnia and dreams, right?" ”
"Immortals don't need to sleep, but they are not like mortals, they can often dream beautifully."
"When I was by His Royal Highness King Cheng's side before, he told me that the emperor's family has no family affection, but I didn't expect that our small Panlong City is the same, and my mother-in-law said that the people's hearts are important, so she immediately held an enthronement ceremony for me, and A-Niang's funeral was also simplified...... Ying'er said while sitting on the bed.
Ying'er, who had faded into a gorgeous dress, looked like an ordinary cardamom girl at this time, and Zhen Xun glanced at Ying'er's hands and had a few faint blood marks, which were probably scratched by flower branches when she knocked off the crown before.
"Do you want to meet the king? Dreams require the soul to leave the body, but the palace of the Great Song is protected by dragon energy, and ordinary souls cannot enter. But I can shrink the ground into inches and send you to the gate of the palace. ”

Ying'er nodded, took out the clothes she wore when she left the pickaxe capital from the depths of the wardrobe, simply combed her hair in a bun, and after signaling that she was ready, Zhen Xun reached out and pinched her fingers, and sent Ying'er to the door of the palace in a few steps.
There was a little yellowish and swaying light in the window of King Cheng's bedroom, Ying'er pushed the door and walked in, placing the oil lamp is a pile of bamboo silk scattered on the table, but he didn't see the figure of King Cheng, looking around, Ying'er, who was unsuccessful in finding someone, finally sat down at the table in disappointment, and was about to hurry up and leave a few words for King Cheng on the lamp, when the cold blade was already behind her neck -
"Turn around!" This irresistible command had a familiar voice, Ying'er didn't seem to have heard it for a long time, the sword body patted her shoulder socket, Ying'er subconsciously shrank her neck, and a few strands of hair hanging down were accidentally caught by the light.
"Ying'er? How are you? King Cheng looked at the girl who turned around in surprise, "Shouldn't you be in Panlong City?" ”
King Cheng walked over, wanting to take a closer look at the girl who made her think about it, she seemed to be a little thinner, and she couldn't see the innocence and childishness of the past in her eyes, but ...... King Cheng's fingers were just about to touch Ying'er's forehead, but the affection in his eyes turned into an irrepressible smile.
Ying'er, who noticed that something was wrong, touched her bangs, but touched a handful of burnt ash, she imagined the scene of reuniting with him countless times, but she didn't expect it to be in this situation, Ying'er sat down in resignation, "If you want to laugh, laugh, you won't be able to see it when I'm gone." ”
