"Huh-"

Ye Yao patted Meng Xu'an on the shoulder.

"What's in your nightmare?" she asked curiously.

The furnishings in the Nanxun Hall were brand new, and even though it was late at night, it was far from being as gloomy as she had seen during the day. Since this is Meng Xu'an's nightmare since he was a child, there should be more than just a female corpse.

"Tonight is the night of my mother's back. Meng Xu'an replied expressionlessly.

"See the back?!"

Ye Yao almost bit her tongue.

It turned out that this dream was a memory of his mother's death. Fang Cai still felt that he was superficial, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Ye Yao grabbed his shoulder, "Don't be afraid, ...... left and right"

She desperately thought of the right wording, trying to comfort the children around her.

Mortals have a short lifespan, a short twenty or thirty years, a long sixty or seventy years, and after a hundred years, they can be called "Renrui". In the eyes of the immortals and demons, there is not much difference.

Now facing a child, if you tell him that life is too short, it seems that it is not very appropriate to persuade him to live and let go and have fun in time.

"Left and right...... It's useless to be afraid!" she was short of words.

......

After a moment of silence, Meng Xu'an moved half a step away in disgust.

"Repeated thousands of times, what is there to be afraid of. Wait a few more moments, and the concubine will return to the dormitory. And then. The waitress beside the queen will bring wine. The process was very simple, the person who came didn't even read the crime, and the palace people of Nanxun Hall didn't persuade a few words, and she didn't even ask to come to me to see me for the last time, so she simply drank the wine. And I, at that time, hid here, didn't say anything, didn't do anything, just watched her vomit blood and die, and watched her being carried away by the palace people. ”

drank and died, such a tragic thing, but he said it so lightly, as if he was talking about an irrelevant person or some irrelevant things.

But Ye Yao knew that he didn't care, otherwise he wouldn't have been having this nightmare repeatedly for more than ten years.

"Don't blame yourself, you were a kid then. She whispered.

Meng Xu'an's hands turned white, "If Aunt Mei is here, she will definitely be able to help her." She will definitely be able to find her father in time! She will definitely not let her mother die in vain!"

Aunt May......

He was referring to the corpse behind the diagonal curtain.

Ye Yao looked at her carefully, and judging from her appearance, she was indeed a "resentful spirit" that she had encountered during the day.

"How did she die?"

"Aunt Mei is my mother's personal maid, and she has been by her side since she was a child. The maternal ancestor made military exploits, and the mother concubine was still on the front line and was named a concubine, and took her aunt into the palace together. My aunt is very smart, her hands are very skillful, and she is especially good at curling her hair. Three days ago, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and before the palace banquet, the queen mother suddenly sent someone to send her to the Jiaofang Palace to make up for the night banquet. Who knows, at the night banquet, a phoenix hairpin brought by the queen's mother, 'Phoenix Dance for Nine Days', actually fell off its eyes and bleed inside. ”

"Phoenix crying blood?!" Ye Yao sighed.

In ancient times, the Phoenix Clan was the only Celestial Clan.

Later, the dragon soared, and the two clans stood side by side to become the co-lord of heaven and earth.

The position of the Emperor of Heaven is alternated between the two clans, and each clan occupies a heavenly domain.

After tens of thousands of years of "living in harmony", a great change has taken place in the heavenly realm.

No one knows exactly what's going on.

But after that, the Phoenix clan was cut off from the divine status, and the Ju clan left the heavenly realm and fell into the demon path.

The phoenix has a natural bloodline, a strong demonic power, and is above the gods. They are very unwilling to fall into the demon realm, and have always wanted to subvert the heavenly realm, drive the Shenlong clan back to the god clan, and regain the position of the master of heaven and earth. In history, it has provoked countless wars, large and small.

The battle of the Apocalypse more than 300 years ago was led by the descendant of the phoenix, the demon king Haotian.

The phoenix belongs to fire, to the yang to the strong.

Covered by wings, thousands of miles of scorched earth.

Therefore, no matter which clan in the Six Realms sees the "Phoenix Crying Blood", it is a sign of great calamity!

"She was executed?" Ye Yao asked a nonsense question.

Meng Xu'an said with a stiff face: "Yes." Because her long hair reaches the ground, she is very special among the palace people. The middle palace ordered the executioner to hang her with her own long hair. ”

Strangled by your own hair?!

Ye Yao was a little depressed when she heard this.

died so miserably, no wonder he turned into a resentful spirit and wandered in the place where he stayed before his death.

Yesterday, she fled from Nanxun Hall to Zichen Palace, and now she is probably still hiding near Zichen Palace, does the whole thing have anything to do with her?

Do you want to tell Meng Xu'an about the resentful spirit?

Just said the demon, and suddenly brought the ghost again, I don't know if he can accept it......

Glancing at the corpse again, Ye Yao was suddenly shocked.

This look, this death......

"You saw it?!" she exclaimed.

A little kid to see such a terrible scene!

Born as a human being, and born in the emperor's family, it is really a bit miserable. Not to mention such a short life, he will suffer in a short life.

"When Aunt Mei was convicted, the mother concubine was punished and grounded because she defended her in the palace, and collided with the queen's mother. I knew that my mother cared about my aunt, so I quietly went to the court to see her, but I only saw ...... Her corpse. ”

At that moment, the door of the dormitory opened, and a young woman in a gown entered.

She was dressed in luxurious ornaments, and her face was very tired, which was Meng Xu'an's mother, Concubine Shu. Dressed so exquisitely, it is obvious that he has returned from some important occasion.

With a sad face, she walked straight to the inner hall, sat in front of the large desk, studied ink, picked up a pen and wanted to write something, but she didn't leave a word for a long time.

......

Ye Yao poked Meng Xu'an, "Aren't you going to do something?"

"What can I do?"

"You were a child, and you didn't have the power to help her. In my dream, I have no choice, I can't escape Kunlunxu, and I can't beat Xiaotao...... But you're different, you can go to Your Majesty! or ask someone else for help! At least you can see her one last time!"

Nightmares are "obsessions" and "demons".

Meng Xu'an's obsession is his powerlessness, and his inner demon is his apology for his mother.

Although no matter what you do in your dreams, you can't change the past. But perhaps...... He just had to get out of the long nightmares and guilt.

"What's the use? The reality is that my mother has been dead for more than ten years, and I have found my father in my dreams, but it will not help. Meng Xu'an said dejectedly.

Ye Yao was anxious, shook him and said, "For your mother, it may really be meaningless. But not for yourself, not for that aunt!"

At this time, several palace people walked into the hall.

The man at the head held a beautiful glass flask and a delicately carved cup.

"Lady Niangniang, the villain has been ordered to serve you on your way. The chamberlain said in a strange manner.

Concubine Shu got up from the front of the case, her face without fear.

She walked to the center of the dormitory step by step and waved away a few palace people close to her......

Sure enough, she didn't panic at all, nor did she resist, as if she had expected this.

......

Ye Yao's heart tightened, and she wondered for a while whether she should cover Meng Xu'an's eyes.

"You say, can I?" Meng Xu'an suddenly asked.

"Of course—"

Ye Yao nodded vigorously, "I'll make some movement for you, you climb out of the window to find your father." ”

Meng Xu'an took a deep breath, and without waiting for her to move, he lifted the curtain and walked straight out.

"Mother-"

He rushed to the woman's side and took her hand in the hand that was holding the poisoned wine.

"An'er—"

Concubine Shu was taken aback, but she didn't expect her son to be in the palace.

She wanted to say something to the waiter, but saw that Meng Xu'an didn't say a word, and snatched a full cup of wine and drank it all.

"An'er!"

Concubine Shu shouted heartbreakingly.

"Meng Xu'an——, you're crazy!"

Ye Yao's brain was buzzing.

This heartless fellow! Even if he dies in his dream, he doesn't have to rush out and drink the poisoned wine!

After thinking about it, I understood his reason for doing so. Back then, she was mistaken for a daughter by her father and mother, and she enjoyed their love for hundreds of years. If Ye Yao really died, she would rather the person who died back then be herself.

......

The dream is fake, but the poison in the dream is real.

The moment Meng Xu'an fell, Ye Yao felt the ground shake, everything in front of her began to distort, and the curtain fabric in her hand also melted instantly.

Oops! It was his dream. When he dies, won't this place collapse!

Her expression was as frightened as the concubines and the attendants.

"Whew-"

A sound of wind swept her ears, and she was sucked into the endless darkness without resistance.
