The sky was getting dark, and it was quiet in the Blue Palace.

Princess Tong was wearing a plain blue coat, raised her feet and walked out of the door of the dormitory, raised her eyes and saw that the palace was bleak and cold, and the gloomy clouds between her eyebrows became denser and denser.

She was accompanied by a maid with a combed bun, wearing thick cloth and velvet clothes, dressed as a palace lady, her eyes were shining brightly, it was Zi Ning.

Princess Tong stepped down the steps, slowly stopped, and said, "It's getting late, I'll send you to Zunhua Palace to find Steward Qianji and Chef Lin." My father may be in the palace at this time, so you should be careful in everything. ”

Zi Ning's eyes were vigilant, she looked left and right in the courtyard, saw that there was no one else, and said: "Tong'er, when I find the Emperor, I will come to pick you up, and let's leave the Dove Kingdom together, okay?"

Princess Tong's gaze drifted to the tall blue-gray palace wall in the distance, and she slowly shook her head and said: "I won't go with you, although the palace of the Hair Dove is deserted, but after all, it is where I was born and raised, this is my home, and I don't want to go anywhere." Moreover, although the Immortal Dao Realm is large, there is no place for me. ”

Turning his eyes to look at Zi Ning, a sad smile squeezed out of the corner of his mouth, and continued: "Your luck is so good, you can finally find a good home, be with the person you like, and go anywhere." But I am different from you, I will marry Xiqi in two days, I am afraid that I will be in a foreign land for the rest of my life, and I will never come back. ”

"Xiqi Kingdom?" Zi Ning asked in surprise: "Are you going to marry Xiqi Kingdom, are you marrying Pingjia, and why?" She had heard that Pingjia of Xiqi Kingdom wanted to marry Princess Tong, and Emperor Fa Jiu was very willing, but Empress Hua Yao resolutely objected, refused to marry for her daughter, and sent Princess Tong to Penglai Wonderland to learn art.

Seeing that she was silent, Zi Ning asked urgently: "You marry Pingjia, what about Tanglin? Although you worship Tanglin as a teacher, it is only an expedient measure. When the matter of the heavenly demon is solved, my mother will naturally find a way to fulfill you. ”

The corners of Princess Tong's mouth tightened, her eyes showed deep sadness, and she muttered with her chin: "I am the princess of the Hair Dove Kingdom, and there are many things that you can't help yourself, and you won't understand." ”

She married Pingjia precisely to save Dongling, but this matter must not let Zining know, now that Penglai is gone, Kunlun is also difficult to protect, she is unwilling to save Dongling, and then hurt Zining and Yue Hengtang.

Since the accident in Tanglin, Princess Tong seems to have grown up in an instant, she has thought about a lot of things, everything that happened in the past has been carefully considered, and she no longer has any hatred for Zining. Because she has understood that it is useless to resent someone, the more you hate, the more painful it is, and the rarest thing in the world is fulfillment and blessing.

She has known since she was a child that happiness is rare, any kind of love is hard-won, Zi Ning is easy to meet her love, if it is ruined halfway, wouldn't it be a pity and pity?

Princess Tong's heart was calm, it was good for her to bear all the pain by herself, anyway, she had never gotten it, and there was nothing to lose. She envies that there are lovers in the world who will eventually become married, just like Zining and Yue Hengtang, if they can be happy for a lifetime, it is also the hope of her and Tanglin.

Zi Ning didn't know what she was thinking, so she could only see that she was in a hurry, and persuaded bitterly: "You can't live like this, it's self-deception if you can't help yourself." In short, I won't let you marry someone you don't like, and Pingjia is a subordinate of the Heavenly Demon, and Xiqi Country has long become the Demon Cave of the Heavenly Demon, if you marry him like this, it will be a sheep into the mouth of the tiger!"

Princess Tong only listened quietly and did not speak. She has made up her mind, and it is useless to persuade anyone. As long as you can steal the key and save Tanglin, even if you are in the mouth of a tiger, what is there to fear?

What's more, she didn't plan to live at all, as a princess, she was responsible for the reputation of the Hair Dove Kingdom. As a disciple of Penglai, she has to atone for the wrong things she has done.

Although she is a princess, she has always lived a humble life, and now there is only so much she can do.

Zi Ning couldn't persuade her, so she had to give up for the time being. I thought that after seeing Qianji Ruochen and Lin Niang, the three of them would think of other ways to persuade Princess Tong.

If Empress Hua Yao was in the country of Fado, she would definitely not allow her daughter to marry into the country of Xiqi. Zi Ning is her sister, and she can't help but ask about her sister's lifelong events.

The two of them walked out of the Colorful Blue Palace, walking silently along the way, and no one spoke. After passing through the garden road, I saw a bamboo forest and green shadows, and occasionally there was the chirping of winter birds, which seemed very sparse and open.

Zi Ning asked strangely: "Where have all the maids and old ladies in the palace gone?" The palace of the Hair Dove King was obviously much more deserted, and he didn't even meet a palace maid on the road.

Princess Tong shook her head and said, "I don't know, since Penglai returned to the palace, it has been like this. The queen mother has been traveling a lot lately, and she doesn't need too many people to serve her in the palace. ”

Not long after the two walked forward, a majestic palace appeared in the hazy fog, which was the Zunhua Palace where Zining had broken through.

The last time she came to the Birch Palace, it was a heavy rain, water vapor rising, smoke waves and fog shadows. At this time, there is a sense of strangeness when the old place is revisited. Although the Zunhua Palace in front is majestic and magnificent, if you look closely, there is also a bit of desolation and dilapidated atmosphere.

was full of doubts, and suddenly a white shadow flashed in front of her, and then Yue Hengtang appeared in front of her, white-clothed and crowned, standing proudly, and shouted in surprise: "Zining!"

"Brother Tang-" Zi Ning was overjoyed, and regardless of Princess Tong standing next to her, she immediately flew over and rushed into his arms at once. The two of them separated from the teleportation array, and they were only separated for a few hours, but to Zi Ning, it seemed like a few years.

Yue Hengtang found Zining, and finally let go of a hanging heart, raised his hand to caress her hair, and said, "It's good that you are safe and sound, I'm worried about my life." Since experiencing a series of dangers at the bottom of Kunlun Peak, his temperament has changed a lot, and he often reveals his true feelings, and he is no longer the indifferent emperor who was indifferent and angry before.

He hadn't seen Zi Ning for a few hours, he was almost going crazy, there were many defensive formations in the palace of the Hair Dove King, and he couldn't scan it with his divine sense, so he could only look for it one palace after another. He was even worried that Zi Ning was not in the palace of the Hair Dove King, or that it would fall into the hands of the wicked, so what should he do?

He hugged Zi Ning tightly and exhaled deeply, his heart had never been so down-to-earth and happy as at this time. What is the Heavenly Demon War, the Immortal Dao Dispute, and the 10,000-year conspiracy...... None of that mattered, only holding Zi Ning in his arms was the top priority in his life.

"Ahem!" Princess Tong's face turned a little pale, coughed lightly twice, and said, "You guys leave the palace quickly, if your father notices it, you will be in trouble." ”

Yue Hengtang's pale cheeks were slightly red, and he reluctantly let go of Zi Ning, raised his eyes to look at Princess Tong, and saw that her face was very calm, and there was no anger and hatred, which was very different from before. Thinking that blood is thicker than water, it is a gratifying good thing that the two sisters have released their previous suspicions.

Turning his gaze to Zi Ning, he looked at her twice, and saw that her face was full of smiles, and there were a few shallow scars on the side of her sideburns, but they were not serious.

Seeing that Zi Ning was not injured, Yue Hengtang took her hand and said, "Let's find Qi Song and Bai Qiu first, they may also be in the palace." ”

Zi Ning nodded, turned her eyes to look at Princess Tong, and said earnestly: "Tong'er, you have to protect yourself, and when we finish our business, we will definitely come back to pick you up, I won't let you be wronged and marry that Pingjia." ”

Yue Hengtang was slightly stunned, and nodded to Princess Tong, "Don't worry, we won't stand idly by in this matter." Seeing that it was not early, he grabbed Zi Ning's waist and said, "Let's go." ”

With that, a white robe spun up, and disappeared into the mist in a blink of an eye with Zi Ning.

Princess Tong looked at the light and shadow of the light mist in the distance, her heart was mixed, and when Yue Hengtang said the words "Let's go", she couldn't help but be moved, and her heart trembled. If one day, Tanglin took her waist around her and said to her, "Let's go." "Even if she goes to die, she is full of sweetness and willingness.

"Brother Tanglin. Princess Tong muttered, "We have no chance in this life, are you willing to wait for my next life?" She stood for a long time, two tears flowing from the corners of her eyes.

The fog in the distance is hazy, enveloping the Zunhua Palace in a deep and quiet atmosphere. Yue Hengtang hid Zi Ning's figure and breath, and galloped all the way.

At this time, it was almost evening, and there was no one in front of or behind the main hall, only a few old women were cleaning the dust. The two went around in a circle, but they didn't find any trace of Qi Song and Bai Qiu, and suddenly heard that there seemed to be a voice in the dormitory in the backyard, so they hurriedly flew up and went straight to the dormitory.

Outside the dormitory, there were two rows of uniformed guards with knives, all of whom had skills above the seventh order, and their expressions were very solemn, standing like statues, and they didn't move.

Yue Hengtang glanced at them, and seeing that the guards were not dressed like people from the Hair Dove Kingdom, he whispered to Zi Ning: "These guards are guarding outside the palace, there should be guests visiting, let's go in and have a look." "At this time, it is getting late, and the Emperor of the Dove is meeting guests in the dormitory, which is likely to have a lot to do with the Heavenly Demon Messenger.

With Zi Ning, he cast a flash shadow and flashed from behind the guards to the stone steps. The vermilion door of the dormitory was closed, and there was not even a single gap, and the fiery red light peeked through the carved and hollowed out panes on both sides.

Breaking into the door must startle the grass and startling the snake, Yue Hengtang looked up at the eaves of the palace, he could fly up to the roof of the main hall, but if Zi Ning stepped on the roof tiles, he would definitely make a noise.

He was hesitating how to enter, when he saw a woman with a high bun coming from the cloister, holding an embroidered handkerchief in her hand, half-covering her mouth, pretending to be shy.

Zi Ning saw that she was familiar, and said in a daze: "She is Fang Yan's steward, Fang Luoxi's mother." ”

Fang Yan couldn't see the two of them, staggered to the door of the dormitory, stood up straight, straightened the placket of the gorgeous clothes, and then cleared her voice and said, "Slave Fang Yan, see the emperor." ”

A deep voice in the hall said, "It's okay for you to come in. Fang Yan's face showed joy, and she hurriedly pushed the hall open with both hands, lifted her skirt and walked towards the high threshold.

Yue Hengtang saw that the opportunity was rare, and he regretted it if he missed it. Hurriedly grabbed Zi Ning's hand, and made a flashing figure, "whoosh" flashed in from behind Fang Yan, and entered the dormitory in a blink of an eye.

Fang Yan only felt that the cold wind was blowing next to her ears, which made the step tassels on her bun sway, she couldn't help but shiver, and quickly turned around and closed the door of the main hall tightly.

The dormitory was brightly lit, and red palace lamps were hung on the beams and pillars. There were hot teapots and delicate snacks on the couch table, but there were no maids to serve them.

Emperor Hairdove sat cross-legged on the low couch, his face was withered, his brows were furrowed, as if he had something difficult to understand. On the guest couch next to him sat Ping Jiahuang, dressed in a thick satin brocade robe embroidered with a golden dragon, with a very majestic face in the Chinese character, holding a green jade tea cup in his hand, and slowly exhaling hot air.

Yue Hengtang and Zi Ning hid behind a vermilion lacquer pillar, only to see Fang Yan walking close to the bed, kneeling down, with a smile on his face, and said in a sweet voice: "The emperor has lost a lot of weight recently, and the slave family looks distressed, so he specially ordered the imperial kitchen to stew some supplements for health preservation, and ordered someone to send them to the dormitory later." ”

Fang Yan is nearly forty years old, but she speaks with a coquettish appearance, which makes Zi Ning a little nauseated, and she can't help but stick out her tongue, and goosebumps stand all over her body. I thought it was no wonder that Fang Luoxi spoke in a tone, her voice was delicate, and her demeanor was charming, it turned out that her mother was also like this.
