Heavy snowfall.

Qi Ming stood in a snowy field.

The snow fell on his hair, shoulders, and his thin body, and his figure looked lonely and firm in the snow, like a statue that stood still, as if it was one with the snow.

Qi Ming's eyes were firm and deep, as if he had made some kind of determination, and he looked firmly in a certain direction ahead.

It was getting dark, and he waited from day to night, but he still didn't wait for the people inside to come out.

It's a cold and snowy night.

Qi Ming didn't realize it, but the people inside didn't come out, and his heart gradually became a little flustered.

I don't know how long it took, a thin figure suddenly walked out of it.

Qi Ming's face was overjoyed, he moved his stiff body, and was about to step forward, but the figure had already run in front of him.

"Lord Qi, don't wait......"

After seeing the person clearly, the smile on Qi Ming's face gradually solidified, and then dissipated little by little.

The person who came was not the person he was waiting for, but Zilan.

Zilan panted and stood in front of Qi Ming, her little face flushed with cold.

"The princess won't come, she sent a slave maid to give a message to Lord Qi."

Qi Ming said: "Have you conveyed the official's words to her?" ”

Zilan panted and said: "The slave maid said it, and she told the princess word for word, and persuaded her, but the princess said that as a princess, she can't just leave." ”

Qi Ming said with some panic: "But does she know that if she doesn't leave, what will be waiting for her?" ”

Zilan frowned and said, "The princess knows ......"

"It was because she knew that she asked the slave maid to come and give a message to Lord Qi."

"The princess has made it easier for you to wait for her, and it is better to forget about her."

Qi Ming breathed a sigh and said, "Forgot? ”

How to forget?

His mind is full of her now, how can he forget!

Qi Ming said: "You go and tell the princess, for her, I don't want this black gauze hat on my head, I will take her to Biansai to find Ye Beicheng, with the protection of Ye Beicheng, no one dares to send her to Xiling!" ”

Zilan said with a heavy face: "Lord Qi, there is no need to persuade again, the princess has made up her mind, the prince is now seriously injured, life and death are uncertain, where can I protect the princess......"

Qi Ming hurriedly said: "But Heqin must be the next step!" This is nothing more than a conspiracy of the Xiling people! The princess must not go! ”

Zilan said: "Lord Qi, don't say it, the slave and maid are only responsible for passing the word, and the affairs of the court, the slave and the maid can't be the master, this is what the princess gave you back, you can take it back, and ...... in the future." Don't pester the princess anymore......"

When the words fell, he saw Zilan hand a box in front of him.

Qi Ming took it with a calm face, opened it and took a look, only to see that there were six night pearls inside.

Zilan said: "Lord Qi sent seven night pearls to the princess, but a few days ago, the princess accidentally broke one, and now there are only six, the princess said, these were originally things of Lord Qi, and after returning them to Lord Qi, you don't owe each other......"

"Don't owe each other?" Qi Ming smiled bitterly: "Is the princess such an irresponsible person?" Did she think that if she returned a few beads to me, she would clear them up? ”

Zilan said: "These days, Lord Qi only gave the night pearl to the princess, what does the princess still owe Lord Qi?" The slave and the maid go and fetch it. ”

Qi Ming said: "What about the heart of this official? How is she going to return it? ”

Zilan was silent, not knowing how to answer for a while.

Qi Ming said: "I am willing to give up everything for her, why did she retreat?" Would you rather die in vain than go with me? ”

Zilan was embarrassed and said, "Slave maid...... The slave and maid don't know either, Lord Qi don't embarrass the slave and maid anymore, the slave and maid are just a messenger ......"

With that, Zilan turned around and trotted away.

Inside the Luanfeng Palace.

Huiyi leaned in front of the window, looking through the vast night, looking at the direction of the palace gate with empty eyes.

And in her hand, a night pearl is being held in the palm of her hand as a treasure.

After a while, Zilan walked in through the door.

Huiyi didn't even turn her head, but asked calmly, "Is he gone?" ”

Zilan said: "I don't know, when the slave went out, he was still waiting outside the palace gate." ”

Huiyi's eyebrows moved slightly, and she said, "Did you return everything to him?" ”

Zilan said: "It's all returned, and the slave maid also explained to Lord Qi that another night pearl was broken by the princess a few days ago, and Lord Qi didn't blame it." ”

Hui Yi said: "That's fine." ”

Zilan was entangled for a moment, but she couldn't help but say: "Actually, the slave can see that Lord Qi has a deep affection for the princess, and he even doesn't want the black gauze hat on his head in order to take the princess away, why doesn't the princess go with Lord Qi?" ”

Huiyi lowered her eyes, played with the night pearl in her hand, and said, "If I really leave, what will happen to my father and queen mother?" What about the dawn people of the Great Song Dynasty? My father is right, now that my imperial uncle is seriously injured, Xiling is approaching step by step, and the Great Song Dynasty urgently needs a chance to breathe......".

"If I marry in the past, I can hold back the pace of Xiling's invasion, and I may be able to find a glimmer of life for the Great Song Dynasty......"

Since that day, Lin Shuang'er has never received a reply from Ye Beicheng.

Lin Shuang'er wrote him several letters one after another, but they were like sinking into the sea, and there was no response at all.

This night, Lin Shuang'er lay on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, she always felt palpitations in her heart, and from time to time she remembered what the master who had unsigned the sign in Lingyin Temple said to her, and her heart became more and more uneasy.

She lifted the futon and got out of bed, and called out the door, "Someone." ”

During this time, thinking that she was pregnant, she was easily frightened at night, and Mingyue waited outside the door every day.

Hearing Lin Shuang'er's call, Mingyue hurriedly pushed open the door and went in.

"Princess, what's wrong? But what nightmare did you have again? ”

Lin Shuang'er said: "I am palpitating in my heart, today, have you received a letter from Bian Sai?" ”

Mingyue said: "Princess, there is no letter from the prince." ”

Lin Shuang'er said uneasily: "Have you been to see the post station?" Isn't there either? ”

Mingyue said: "I've read it all, in the past few days, there has been no letter from Biansai." ”

Lin Shuang'er said again: "How is the battle situation that asked you to inquire today?" Was Xiling defeated? Can there be a retreat? ”

Mingyue said: "Princess, the slave maid doesn't know, the people in the palace have been tight-lipped these days, and no matter how the slave and maid talk, they can't make a name for themselves." ”

Lin Shuang'er felt more and more flustered in her heart.

In fact, she also felt that the people around her seemed to have something important to hide from her, and deliberately locked her in the dormitory and didn't let her inquire about anything.

Mingyue comforted: "Don't worry, princess, the prince is the god of war, he will turn evil into good fortune in a while, win many battles, nothing will happen, the princess still has a child in her belly, don't worry too much." ”

Lin Shuang'er said solemnly: "No, something must have happened......
