There was nothing to do in the Warm Fang Hall that day.

As the wedding time approached, Xiao Cui's heart became more and more irritable. Her room had two doors, facing each other from north to south. When you go out the back door, you will reach the inner courtyard. There is a three-storey attic there, which is where Lu Siyi used to watch the scenery during the day and admire the moon at night. After Xiao Cuixin lived in the Nuanfang Palace, she only cared about being depressed every day, and rarely went to the backyard.

It was drizzling that day, and by evening the rain had gradually stopped. Xiao Cuixin took advantage of the good time to walk to the attic alone to relax. The sun hangs over the western sky, glowing softly. The many mountains outside Kaifeng City, under the reflection of the setting sun, appear extraordinarily green. In the dense branches of the palace, countless birds stood there, silently staring at the ground, as if thinking about something. These spirits in the sky, as if sensing the change in the sky, snuggled up to each other tightly, composing a sunset afterglow song.

Standing at the highest point of the Nuanfang Palace, looking at the dense birds on the treetops, Xiao Cuixin felt very lonely. "I really envy those birds, they can be together in pairs, not like I am alone. ”

When she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel sad: "There are thousands of guards guarding the palace, and I, a weak woman, can I escape? Brother Yang, where are you? Do you know how much I miss you? If you were still in the world, would you miss me like this?" Until this time, she was still worried about her fiancé in her heart.

The sun slowly descended, and the sky gradually darkened. The mountains in the distance also become deeper, merging with the heavens and the earth. The sun hung on the mountain peaks and slowly slid down the mountain, until at last only a little light remained. There was a sudden silence between heaven and earth, as if to witness this sacred moment. However, in an instant, the sunset disappeared without a trace. Seeing this scene, Xiao Cui shook her head and choked up: "It's hard to say goodbye when we meet! This world has been full of joys and sorrows since ancient times, and even the sacred sun is not spared!"

After the sun set, the entire Warm Fang Hall became lifeless. Xiao Cuixin came down from the attic and returned to the room to close the window and door.

Dozens of Liao guards guarded the exit of the palace, and they did not dare to slack off at all.

Lu Wanli sat on the stone bench, looked at the empty palace, and pondered: "The palace ladies don't come near me these days, is it because I didn't agree to the county lord's request?" As the head of the Liao Kingdom's imperial forest governor, although he sympathized with the county lord's plight, he had to act according to the emperor's will. Yelu Deguang has promised the county lord to Lu Zhicheng, and he will definitely not easily let go and cancel the marriage contract.

Lu Wanli sat outside the hall for two hours before he found a palace maid hurriedly picking up a plate and walking over. He couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, and hurriedly hugged the palace maid and asked, "I haven't seen the county lord for a few days, is everything okay with her?"

The palace maid tiptoed closer, and replied tremblingly, "Lord Qiyu, the county lord is fine. She was a little hungry and ordered us to bring dinner. ”

Lu Wanli glanced at the palace maid and asked, "Can you county lord mention the wedding the day after tomorrow?" The palace maid nodded, and said in a slow voice: "The county lord actually refuses to agree to this marriage, but she considers that the emperor has already agreed to Lu Zhicheng, so she will no longer make useless struggles." Lu Wanli sighed and said slowly: "It is really commendable that the county lord can understand the righteousness and wronged himself to participate in the wedding. Please say hello to the county lord on my behalf!"

The palace maid whispered, "This is natural. The county lord said that Lord Deer and the guards have worked hard these days, and she always can't help it. Lu Wanli said in a harmonious voice: "The county lord is polite. It is our duty to be faithful, and as long as she can do well, we are relieved. A trace of sorrow flashed across the palace maid's face, but she did not reply, squatted down and bowed, and then walked away quickly.

Lu Wanli saw her leaving, and faintly felt that there was something strange inside, but he didn't break it in person. When the palace maid walked away, he walked carefully to Xiao Cui's atrium, leaned over and put his ear close to the window, only to hear a soft cry inside. Lu Wanli was stunned, stretched out his hand and poked a small hole in the window paper, and looked into the house with his face against it.

Xiao Cuixin didn't know that someone was peeping, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and complained at the same time: "Brother Yang, where are you? Do you know how miserable I have been in the past few months? Without you by my side, I don't want to live a day." As she spoke, she raised her sword to her neck and stared at the back door in a daze.

Lu Wanli thought that she was looking for a short time, and immediately kicked open the door with her foot and entered. Xiao Cuixin was taken aback, turned to look at him, and said angrily: "Lord Lu, don't come here, otherwise I will really kill myself." Lu Wanli hurriedly stretched out his right hand to stop: "County Lord, you are a golden branch and jade leaf, don't do stupid things!"

Xiao Cuixin didn't answer, still holding the long sword in her hand, and walked quickly towards the back door. Lu Wanli was worried about the safety of the county lord, and remembered the emperor's advice, so he didn't dare to pursue it closely. After a while, he chased out of the house, and by this time Xiao Cuixin had already ascended to the attic.

Lu Wanli saw that this attic was more than ten zhang high, and there was no protective fence around it, once he accidentally fell from it, there was almost no chance of survival, so he said loudly: "County Lord, it's too high there, please come down quickly." ”

Xiao Cuixin was willing to listen to him, but cried: "Lord Lu, please tell Uncle Huang, I only have Brother Yang alone in my heart." Even if he dies, I will go to Huangquan with him. We are going to be husband and wife for the rest of our lives. As soon as she finished speaking, she jumped out of the walls of the Nuanfang Palace.

Lu Wanli didn't have time to think about it, and quickly jumped up to the third floor, but he was still a step too late. He was about to jump down to save people, but he saw a white figure floating under the wall, just catching Xiao Cuixin's body.

Lu Wanli took a closer look, and his heart couldn't help but be a little shocked, this person was Le Yiyang, who had been missing for many days.

During the day, Le Yiyang learned about his fiancée's recent situation from Liao Bing, and thought that her situation was very dangerous, so he hurriedly rode his horse and whip to Kaifeng City, and sneaked into the palace at night. He came with Feng Ruoxiang once half a year ago, and he was no stranger to the location of the Nuanfang Palace. He saw that there were Liao guards everywhere outside the hall, and he didn't want to startle the snake too early, so he quietly went around to the wall behind the palace.

There is providence in the dark. Le Yiyang just heard his fiancée's heartfelt words, and his heart was extremely moved. When Xiao Cui's heart jumped out of the attic, he hurriedly flew over to catch it. The two were separated for several months and finally met again.
