Lady Changning

Chapter 48
In the dark night, the candles flickered under the exquisite lampshade.The breeze is coming slowly, unable to blow away the faint feelings in the night.

Xi Changning looked at the young man on the golden bed with his hands on his cheeks. The young man's eyes were closed tightly, without the mask-like smile and coldness hidden in his heart. At this moment, he looked like a gentle big brother.

"If you continue to pretend to be asleep, I won't come."

The boy immediately opened his eyes, looking at Xi Changning with inexplicable affection.

Xi Changning deliberately avoided his fiery eyes, and attracted Mingyu who was waiting beside him, Mingyu offered the medicine bowl, Xi Changning took the medicine bowl, originally intending to pass it to the third prince himself, but seeing his appearance Seems to enjoy being served by others.Helpless, Xi Changning could only feed him spoonful by spoonful.

"The imperial doctor said that the third prince can get out of bed and walk around in the near future. As for the scars, there is jade skin ointment, don't forget it."

"I saved you like this, but what you said sounds like you want to leave me."

The third prince was very relaxed. In the past, he had to think twice about making jokes, but now he can say whatever he thinks in his heart.

Xi Changning glanced at the third prince, did she misread it?A man who was so vicious in his previous life is really as gentle as he pretended to be now.Can not help but ask the export.

"Why do you want to do this?" Why do you pretend to be like this?

The prince once said that he robbed too much of the third prince's things. Although Xi Changning didn't know what it was, such a young boy knew how to pretend like this. If it wasn't important, how could it be like this?

The third prince's face sank, as if a scar had been torn off.

"I'm a little tired. You step back."

The expected answer, but Xi Changning still looked forward to it a little.Although she knew what kind of person the third prince was, she tried not to get close to him, but now she seems to be getting more and more acquainted.

"Then Changning is leaving."

The third prince is a lonely person, what he wants to have is destined to go on alone.

After leaving, Xi Changning did not come to see the third prince, she was forcing herself to stay away from the third prince.The person she needs most now is the prince. Even if the prince's fate is already in her heart, only the prince can help her in the current situation in the palace.

East Palace
"Have you met the third brother? Is it better?"

Hearing the prince's voice, Xi Changning was certain of one thing. For her, the third prince really did not snatch the prince.

It was obviously the third prince who rescued Xi Changning that day. Although Xi Lin was the one who took her away, when she woke up, she found that she was in the prince's east palace.

"No problem."

The prince looked at the girl in red with a calm expression on his face, and it was not at all obvious that she was someone who had escaped from death.Anyway, there is still something to tell her.

"Stay away from the third brother. This is my prince's order."

The prince could see that the third prince had feelings for Xi Changning. Although he might not even know it, Xi Changning was too dangerous. Just because she dared to negotiate terms with him alone, Xi Changning was a dangerous person.

Xi Changning's words were swallowed in his throat, and he knelt down.

"Changning understands."

Just like what she said about the third prince, there are some things you want that you can only go on alone.This is how she is, she has changed from a chess piece to a chess player now, alone.

The emperor's birthday is approaching, and the palace is very busy, with lights and festoons.Although I don't know how the capital is, but in my memory, the gorgeous fireworks spread throughout the capital, and it was brightly lit from the Xiang's mansion.The emperor, who has always been frugal, did not know why he was so grand. Some people said that the emperor would still be immersed in pleasure when he was in a high position, and some said that the emperor did this to force a person to show up.

These conjectures are all learned from the conversations of the court ladies. In the past, the most well-informed were the court ladies and eunuchs, so according to Xi Changning's observation, she would rather believe the latter, but who would that person be?Maybe that day.

On the eve of the emperor's birthday, Xi Changning returned to the shore of the abandoned island again. She hoped to thank the woman who rescued her that day, but she didn't thank her for her help when she left that day.

When Xi Changning appeared, it happened that the woman was sitting in a daze in the pavilion, and she was still wearing Xi Changning's red dress from that day. Looking carefully now, because Xi Changning was small, the clothes were obviously too small, but the woman seemed to like it very much. .

"I'm here to thank you." Xi Changning saluted.

The woman remained in a daze, as if she hadn't seen Xi Changning.She didn't realize it until Xi Changning was sitting on the shore.

"It's so lively."

"It's natural for the emperor's birthday to be lively."

The woman frowned tightly, birthday?A light flashed in her mind, but she didn't know what it was, she forgot.Her memory is confused, sometimes sober and sometimes confused, there is only one person you know, and that person hasn't seen her for a long time.But this little girl in front of me is often seen. This is the only face I remember during this period of time when my memory is chaotic and sober. It is the person in front of me, who seems to be called Xi Changning.

"Do you remember those dance steps?"

The woman's words made Xi Changning at a loss, isn't she crazy?Why do I still remember these things?

"Changning can't learn half of you if you don't have talent."

"You don't have to be modest or question, I don't remember, I don't remember every time I go crazy, it's strange that I have an impression of you."

There are such strange diseases in the world, good and bad.If Xi Changning hadn't seen this woman's crazy appearance and her quiet appearance now, she would not have believed that there is such a strange disease in the world.

"Chang Ning never told lies, but there are quite a few questions."

The breeze blew up the corner of the woman's veil, and the smile on the corner of her mouth made people fascinated.

"Did you ever think about leaving?"

The woman shook her head. She was used to this kind of life. That person said that her illness would never recover. She was afraid of scaring others, and she didn't want others to see her go crazy.

"You go away quickly, I have more and more frequent seizures recently. You just need to remember how I danced. This is the only good memory in my mind."

It seems that this woman really doesn't remember what she was like when she went crazy. The dancing is no longer dancing, and the singing is no longer singing. It has become a kind of catharsis, a kind of resentment.The lyrics are also a woman's lament, which she doesn't remember.

Xi Changning didn't intend to tell her this so as not to destroy the beauty in her heart.But unexpectedly, the woman became irritable in a blink of an eye, and began to sing again, all of this seemed to be like this all of a sudden.

This time it was no longer the previous beauty song, but she couldn't speak the words. Her voice was excellent, and it was naturally attractive when she sang it. It's a pity that her voice became sharper as she went on, and in the end it was hard to hear the tune.

Xi Changning also patiently listened to it, and then left. This woman must have some kind of connection with this palace, and she must find out about it if necessary.

After returning to the palace, Xi Changning immediately wrote down the words hummed by the woman in white. It was a love poem. There was only one person in the palace who could intercede so clearly. Could this woman in white be what she imagined?
Perhaps this poem can tell Xi Changning the story about the woman in white, and she secretly made a decision in her heart, planning to implement it on the emperor's birthday in a day.
