Jiaochu

It's time to go back.

Ye Lingxi felt anxious and urgent. She wanted to know the answer but didn't want to face the truth. Deep down in her heart, she still refused to believe that people were just gone. She felt like she had been in a dream, and she hoped that it was a dream. Dream.

These days, she has been thinking about the previous events, trying to find the cause and effect relationship. After thinking about it, she attributed the cause to herself. She was the one who sent the jar of wine, and it was she who poured the wine and handed it to him to drink. He knew from the beginning that she didn't want him to be the prince, but he didn't expect that she would use such despicable means to deal with him. She was frustrated or couldn't accept such a failure, so she took such a decisive step. road.

It was her who took advantage of his trust, who cut off his path to becoming a prince, and it was her fault...

The scar on her palm ached faintly, and she dug her nails deeper, as if she could only make up for it by using this self-abuse method, but in fact it was just self-deception.

"Princess, if you don't want to do anything wrong, just stay here for a few more days." Shangguan Yuan came over and said.

She let go of her hand and pulled up her sleeve. When her eyes fell on the jade bracelet on her other hand, she found that the edges were a little black. She took it off and wiped it with her hand. She found that it was cigarette ashes. She then I wiped it with my sleeve and put it down after wiping it clean.

She was a little lost in thought when she looked at the brilliant jade bracelet on her hand.

Shangguan Yuan sat down on the stool next to him and said, "General Xiaoyan has been coming here every day these days to ask how the princess is doing."

Her expression changed, she raised her head and asked, "Brother Yan has been here?"

Shangguan Yuandao: "I just stood at the door and took a look, but didn't come in."

She looked at the door, and then looked away after a while. She thought of something and said nervously: "Then, does Brother Yan know about my eyes?"

Shangguan Yuandao: "Wei Chen said that the princess's eyes were smoked by the fire, and she will be fine after a few days of rest."

She looked down at the bracelet and said nothing.

Shangguan Yuandao: "Should Wei Chen have someone pick up the princess tomorrow, or should we wait two days?"

She was silent for a while and replied: "I'm already fine. I don't have to wait two days."

Shangguan Yuan nodded, told her to rest early tonight, got up and left. In the evening, Ye Lingxi stood in the yard and looked at the orange-red sunset glow on the horizon, watching the sunset glow fade and twilight gradually envelop her.

There was a figure shaking at the door. She asked who it was, but no one answered. After she walked over, she saw a peach blossom placed by the wall. She looked around again and saw no one. She picked up the peach blossom and saw that the flowers on it were blooming just right. She leaned closer and smelled it. With the faint fragrance, she returned to the house, found a vase to arrange flowers, and then sat and looked at the flowers, thinking The peach blossoms in the peach blossom forest must have all bloomed, but it’s a pity that people can no longer come together

Unknowingly, the lights outside the window began to turn on, and night fell.

She slept on the table all night. She stayed awake with her eyes closed most of the night, listening to the subtle movements in the night, including the rustling of leaves, the chirping of insects and birds, and the slow movement of the moon. The fragrance of flowers was flowing quietly. When it was almost dawn, she slept for a while. When she woke up, her head was groggy, she had a headache, and her complexion was not very good. After washing her face with hot water, her cheeks became clearer. His blood showed a bit of rosy color, and he seemed to be in better spirits.

Hehe and Lingdang waited anxiously outside the door, and Xiao Anzi also came over. When the person came out, the three of them hurriedly greeted him. After some greetings, Xiao Anzi reported everything that had happened in the past few days to Ye Lingxi.

The first major event was that Concubine Xiao became insane and was locked up.

After the fire in Yuyuan Palace, Concubine Xiao said that Ye Lingxi had learned evil spells from Si Tianjian to harm people. She believed that Si Tianjian and Weiyang Palace had conspired to kill Ye Lingjue. She went to beg Ye Lanchen several times to punish the murderer severely. They also had people spread rumors in the palace that Ye Lingxi was the reincarnation of a lone star of the evil god. He was here to harm his father, his mother, his brothers, his brothers, his relatives and friends. He also went to the Weiyang Palace to cause trouble and cursed him with all kinds of unpleasant words. , not only had to fight against Concubine Lan, but also snatched Ye Jinnian away. In the end, Ye Lanchen issued an order to imprison him.

Another major event was that on the night of the fire in Yuyuan Palace, the Shang Taifu was rescued in the chaos.

Hearing the latter news, Ye Lingxi felt a chill in his heart. If this person went back, there would be endless troubles.

Seeing that the direction they were going was not Weiyang Palace, she asked. Xiao Anzi congratulated her and said that she would have her own palace in the future. Hehe and Lingdang also asked her to go and have a look first. She saw that their expressions were a little unnatural. It was like he was hiding something from her.

"Everything has been arranged over there. I'm sure the princess will like it."

A quarter of an hour later, Ye Lingxi stopped outside a vermilion door. The three characters "Changxin Palace" were written on the plaque. Xiao Anzi led the way diligently. After entering, she first glanced at the plaque on the main hall: Zhaoyang Palace.

"Princess, look, there is a swing there. The slave knew that the princess liked to swing, so he had one planted. The slave knew that the princess liked flowers with light fragrance, so the slave planted some jasmine crabapples. What other flowers did the princess like? Have someone bring it over." Xiao Anzi led her into the palace again to see. Hehe and Lingdang said that everything had been moved here. Hehe said, "Princess, look, did you leave anything behind?" Lingdang said, "I even counted them. Several times, I think I didn’t leave anything behind.” Xiao Anzi said, “It doesn’t matter if I left something behind, it’s not far away, I’ll just ask someone to get it later.”

After walking around the hall, Ye Lingxi asked Xiao Anzi to go back first, called Hehe and Lingdang to the front, and asked them if they were hiding something from her. The two looked at each other, both hesitating. She continued to ask, "Did something happen to the mother-in-law?" Hehe was still hesitating, but Lingdang couldn't help but said it. Before she could finish speaking, she rushed to After they walked out, the two of them hurriedly followed. Hehe blamed Lingdang for not speaking out directly, and hurriedly advised, "Don't worry, princess, Imperial Physician Han has already examined the empress, and there won't be any scars. The empress doesn't want the princess to worry." So I told the slave not to tell the princess. The princess's eyes are just right, but don't get angry in a hurry. If anything happens, the empress should worry again." Lingdang also said, "The princess hasn't eaten yet, it's almost noon, the princess should eat first. .”

She suddenly stopped and asked where Concubine Xiao was being kept and if she was still in the original palace. The two looked at each other and nodded. He He then advised, "The emperor asked the guards to guard the door. Princess, please don't be too hard." Break in." Ling Ding also said, "It's broad daylight and there are many people. When it gets dark at night, I will go and look out for the princess. The princess will sneak in over the wall." She thought for a moment and asked He He to go to her mother first. The concubine announced, and she went over.
