peach blossoms smile

Chapter 23 I set the fire by myself!
Her determined look surprised me. Could it be that Princess Lingxuan didn't tell Dad about this in advance?In this way, Dad's empty city plan will be exposed immediately, and we will no longer have any bargaining chips in our hands.

I secretly looked at Princess Lingxuan, and sure enough, there was sadness in her eyes...

"The massacre in Qukou Village, the people who died were not ordinary people..." said the old man.

As soon as I heard it, I felt bad. Dad was really singing an empty city plan, but according to my experience in dealing with the viewer, the hesitation in his language has made the viewer feel like a mirror.

Sure enough, the temple master laughed: "Wei Yeyun, your ability to pull the tiger's skin and pretend to be a big banner has regressed a lot." She smiled back, her eyes showed cold killing intent, and said coldly: "Princess is easy to be instigated , and other related people are useless.”

As soon as her words fell, the nuns around rushed up with swords. This action made me break out in a cold sweat. She actually thought of leaving only the two of us and killing everyone else.

My mind turned sharply, knowing the current situation, if I am not careful, my head will be in a different place. It seems that I can only use my identity as a meticulous worker, and I can't take care of other things, and said: "Wait a minute, Guanzhu, Prince His Highness did not issue such an order!"

What I said made my father and others stare in astonishment. Except for Xia Ji who knew the inside story, the rest of the people had suspicions in their eyes, and my mother even said: "What are you talking about? Ah Dan?"

The temple master smiled and said: "I almost forgot, your Ah Dan has already been replaced, the real Ah Dan died in the fire in the temple, Wei Yeyun, you set the fire yourself!"

The old man hesitated: "Impossible, how could I not know my daughter?"

"The princess's old illness has recurred, and her body is covered with red spots that last for several days. It is indeed difficult for people to tell the truth from the fake. No wonder Master Wei can't even recognize his own daughter." The temple master laughed.

The old man was silent for a while, his face gradually turned pale: "She stayed in the room all day in those few days, and her temper is not as lively as before. Could it be, could it be..."

Hearing his murmur clearly, everyone else's complexion has changed, and Yiyu's face has lost all blood, and she is on the verge of falling, as if she can't hold on anymore.

But the mother forced a smile: "Impossible, old man, don't fall for her tricks, and mess up your position first, think about it, except for those few days, isn't she fine at other times?"

But the uncertainty in her tone was clearly audible.

The temple master shook his head, clicked his tongue repeatedly, turned his head to Yiyu and said, "Miss Yiyu, why don't you tell them the truth?"

Mother and father now turned pale and turned to look at Yiyu, while Xia Han looked at me with hesitant and vigilant eyes even though he was guarded.

Yiyu couldn't bear it anymore, she sat down on the ground and murmured: "Mother, father, I want to save her, I want to save her..."

"No!" Princess Lingxuan screamed, "No, no..."

Their looks made my heart feel as if soaked in acid water and sharpened by blunt knives, but I can't tell the truth... Xia Ji also understood the key point, and his eyes showed anxiety. As I looked, I could only secretly shake my head at him.

Yiyu broke down in tears: "Father, mother, it's all because the daughter is bad, and she was encouraged by others..."

The temple master said: "Instigated by others? But no one forced you. You took the initiative to find His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness has also promised to marry you. He also promised you the title of a child. You don't want it. I want to go back to the mansion. His Royal Highness is so benevolent and righteous. You have repeated so many times, and you are not blamed. You must know that there is no medicine for regret in this world... It's a pity that now you are going to go to hell with them."

Yiyu didn't know how to refute her cynicism, but murmured repeatedly: "It's my daughter's fault. She can't recognize people with her eyes. She was used by others and killed Ah Dan's life..." She raised her head, her face was covered with tears. There were tears, and there was a nun standing next to her with a sword, and she bumped into the sword's edge...

There were bursts of screams on the field, Mother and Yiyu stood close, hugged her at once, crying uncontrollably: "Yiyu, Yiyu."

A nun had already stepped forward, pulled away Niangqin and Yiyu, and took care of them separately.

The temple master smiled, and said: "Master Wei understands now, right? It's time to go on the road to accompany your daughter."

She is secretly putting pressure on Princess Lingxuan, what she wants is the secret in Princess Lingxuan's heart, if Princess Lingxuan lets go of her mouth at this moment and reveals that secret, we will really die.

But Princess Lingxuan's face has turned terribly pale at this time, and her eyes have also collapsed. It is obvious that she has been hit hard, and I have that strange feeling in my heart again. I always feel that for my half-sister, She really cared a little too much.

I said: "The lord is strategizing, and this servant really admires him, but the servant is someone close to His Royal Highness, when the lord punishes criminals, he has to wait for His Royal Highness to be present."

The master of the temple looked at me with cold eyes, and said indifferently: "Since you know your identity, you should know how to measure it. His Royal Highness has his own interpretation of the temple, so how can you interrupt?"

I secretly looked at Princess Lingxuan, she is not stupid after all, her eyelashes flickered, she obviously understood that the priest has no right to order to take people's lives at will.

I just breathed a sigh of relief, but I heard my father trembling: "You are really not Ah Dan..."

I raised my eyes to look at my father, but I saw my father hunched over, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden, and his earnest eyes were fixed on my face and body.His face was ashen ashes, but there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes... I quickly lowered my eyes to force back the tears that almost came out of my eyes, and said lightly: "Master Wei, the slaves are subordinate to the crown prince." Your Highness."

The temple master was full of pride, and said with a smile: "Master Wei, are you still determined?"

She waved her hand, and suddenly, two nuns came forward and put their swords on my neck: "It's just a servant girl who wants to meddle in my affairs in Shencao's house? The Outer Palace is only responsible to the Emperor, he wants to point fingers, wait until he becomes the Ninth Five-Year Supreme! As for you, a servant, dying under Wei Yeyun's sword is a well-deserved death!"

She wants to cut off everyone's expectation of survival here, and let everyone understand that our lives are in her hands, and Bai Wending has no way to restrain her. In this way, my small work is not worth mentioning , she wants to silence me too!

Even if I'm subordinate to the aspirations.

Only then did I realize that I had greatly underestimated the viciousness and prudence of this temple master. As she said, no one can restrain her except Emperor Wu Chong. To achieve her goal, she has resorted to all means.

For a moment, I really felt that my life was hanging on the sword. If I was not careful, everyone's lives would be lost in her hands. She used our lives to persecute Princess Lingxuan, but if Princess Lingxuan really said that she was desperate The secrets we want to know, we will lose our lives.

To say or not to say it is just to prolong the life-saving time slightly.

For us, this is a deadlock, and there is no way to break it.

Now, it's just a matter of procrastination...

I sternly said: "You don't even look down on His Highness the Crown Prince? Want to kill someone? His Highness the Crown Prince will not let you go!"

My words really didn't have any lethality, she looked towards me slowly, and smiled: "His Royal Highness, following the emperor's order, is going to Dongjun county to inspect the county this morning, why don't you know?"

She even transferred Bai Wending?I am really desperate, are we really going to die here?

And the death of "I" is not a big blow to everyone.The old man had completely lost his previous spirit, he stood blankly, staring into the distance, Yiyu was crying, Xia Han looked at me with extremely resentful eyes, wishing to eat me up, Xia Ji who knew the inside story had nothing to do.

As for Princess Lingxuan, she no longer had the slightest brilliance of life in her eyes. It really seemed that the whole world had collapsed in front of her.

I know that the situation is urgent now, maybe Princess Lingxuan will reveal this secret with only a little pressure from the temple master, then we are of no use to her... How can she let a group of people Maybe the one who knows her biggest secret remains alive?
Princess Lingxuan knows both the secret she wants and the secret that threatens her status. Of these two secrets, one can save lives, and the other can kill people's lives, so no matter what, she will not let us live in world.

So I had no choice but to raise my spirits and said, "Do you think His Royal Highness is not aware of everything you have done?"

She smiled again: "You are really interesting, you slave, now you even speak like the princess of Rong, and you have also learned Master Wei's empty city plan?" She lowered her voice, "I am in charge of Shen Cao's outer mansion. After a long time, I learned one thing, that is, to check everything in detail, tell me, did I send someone to follow Bai Wending?"

My heart sank further, and I finally felt the taste of despair...

At this moment, someone answered the conversation: "Then you guess, has the Crown Prince sent someone by your side?"

The sound of doors opening and closing, armor rings clashing, swords clashing, thick-soled leather boots knocking against bluestone slabs sounded from all directions, and nuns holding arrows on the roof rolled down one after another. The promenade, the cornices and the roof were all occupied and surrounded by men and horses in black and gold. Bai Wending, dressed in fiery red clothes, walked in like a leisurely stroll.

At this time, there was only a trace of panic in the eyes of the temple master, but Fuer smiled and said: "His Royal Highness, I don't think that you have to ask about everything in person."

Bai Wending said indifferently: "Fortunately, I never trust others."

The temple master's face turned pale, but he said: "His Majesty the Emperor granted the slaves and maidservants the right to do things cheaply, even if they accidentally killed someone related to His Highness the Crown Prince, I have no choice but to apologize to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Bai Wending ignored him, instead he asked someone to help Princess Lingxuan up, and smiled softly: "The prince is a little curious, what happened in Qukou Village back then, that made the audience look like this?"

The face of the temple master became even paler, and he watched Princess Lingxuan being caught in Bai Wending's eyes, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, the emperor asked the servants to arrest the remnants of the old party. You can't deal with these criminals casually." .”

Bai Wending smiled: "How dare this prince? Naturally, these people will be escorted to the father for interrogation. Then the truth about the Qukou village case and so on will be revealed."

Every time Bai Wending mentions "Qukou Village", the temple master's face turns pale, and his eyes are even more anxious. It seems that he can't wait for someone to snatch Princess Lingxuan back, but it's a pity that all her troops are let by Bai Wending Man restrained.

Bai Wending didn't give up, he glanced at the watchman and said: "Hey, the prince remembered that Qukou Village seems to be someone's hometown, right?"

Hearing the spectator's stern shout, his figure burst into flames, with a long sword in his hand like a rainbow, twisting around, he stabbed at Princess Lingxuan!

Regardless of the emperor's request, she wanted to kill someone to silence her!

With this sudden change, those who escorted Princess Lingxuan were caught off guard, and the priest was shocked by her because of his high martial arts skills.Seeing that the sword was just in front of Princess Lingxuan, there was a flash of red, and Bai Wending came suddenly, and slapped her, finally stopping her from it.

As a result, the face of the temple master turned pale, the sword in his hand fell to the ground, and he stood slumped.

Qukou Village?
What kind of secret was it that forced this temple master, who always had a smile on his face, to be like this?
Bai Wending's intervention temporarily saved our lives, but it would be even more difficult if we wanted to get out. I suddenly remembered my dual identity, and if I didn't pay attention, Bai Wending would see through it. I had mixed feelings for a while, This is really just out of the wolf's den, and then into the tiger's mouth.

I was feeling uneasy, Bai Wending turned to look at me and said, "Well done."

Only then did I come to my senses, and hurriedly bowed to him and said, "Fortunately, my servant did not disgrace her mission."

How can I get out of trouble?I have a lot of ideas, but I can't do anything.

He turned to face Princess Lingxuan: "His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince has finally found you."

Princess Lingxuan was held hostage and supported onto a chair. She walked slowly, as if she had exhausted all her strength in every step, and there was no trace of life in her eyes.After hearing his question, he slowly raised his head: "His Royal Highness, what do you want to know?"

Bai Wending said: "Why do you ask without knowing it? Whether it is the secret of the temple master or the wealth in your hands, the crown prince wants to know. But the father spent a lot of effort to lure you out, in order to use the wealth in your hands to resist Wai Qiang, Father is kind and will never treat you badly. And this prince has always been very interested in secrets and anecdotes. This prince has always been fair. If you tell this king the secret of the Lord, in exchange, this prince will also say to you. You listen to some secrets, for example, how did Princess Rong be replaced, did she really die in the fire as the temple master said?"

After hearing this, some sparks appeared in Princess Lingxuan's eyes, and she tried her best to support herself: "She's not dead yet?" "Is everything about her worth it for you to tell me the truth?" Bai Wending laughed.

I know that Bai Wending is planning to earn the secrets mastered by Princess Lingxuan. Seeing the pain and struggle in her eyes, and all she asks for is the whereabouts of "me", I can't help but want to go forward and tell her the truth .But at this time, I felt two gazes sweeping over from the corner. Looking up, Xia Ji secretly shook his head at me. His face was so serious that I had never seen it before. After hesitating for a while, I still blinked. Resisting the sourness in his heart, he watched Princess Lingxuan being led into the inner hall by Bai Wending.

The viewer looked at Princess Lingxuan's back, and there was no smile between his eyes and eyebrows. Instead, his expression was resentful and desperate, his eyes like knives.

Bai Wending hated her betrayal so much, he would definitely try his best to beat her, to remove the powerful obstacles that would hinder him from ascension to the throne in the future, considering the power in the master's hands, this is indeed more important than anything else many.

It seems that if he has this opportunity to overthrow the audience, he will definitely use it up and spare no effort.

After they entered, the guards around them were even stricter. Although I was recognized by Bai Wending as one of his own, he did not give an order to release me, so those guards did not allow me to move around.And the resentful and desperate eyes of my father and others made me feel like I was sitting on pins and needles. I had to pin my hopes on Xia Ji, thinking that he would have some thoughts, but I looked at him secretly. He closed his eyes slightly and fell asleep on the chair.

Although the courtyard was lined with swords and soldiers, it was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop clearly.Suddenly, I heard a dull sound of an object falling to the ground in the inner hall, followed by the shattering sound of celadon falling to the ground. If no one heard the previous sound, everyone would have heard the latter sound clearly. The leader rushed into the inner hall with a sword in hand, but before stepping into the hall, he took a few steps back and backed out...

Bai Mi supported Princess Lingxuan and slowly walked out of the dimly lit inner hall, Bai Wending covered his chest with his left hand, followed behind with a dejected expression.

The guards surrounded him with swords, but Bai Wending waved his hand to make them retreat.

"Prince Ning?"

In this short silence, I heard the sigh clearly, although it was a whisper, but it was eloquent and long, full of melancholy.

I looked towards the place where the voice came from, but I saw the spectator's eyes were intoxicated, looking at Bai Mi, as if he was a radiant and rare treasure.

This kind of expression shouldn't appear on her face, and it doesn't match her Jingchai commoner clothes. I was wondering, but the temple master slowly put away the excitement on his face, and returned to plain, No one noticed her gaffe just now, except me!What is she hiding?
Bai Mi helped Princess Lingxuan to sit down in front of the chair, and then she cupped her hands to Bai Wending and said, "Brother Emperor, I have obeyed the imperial father's order to invite all the people here into the palace, and then ask questions..."

As he was talking, his eyes turned around on the people in the courtyard. I noticed that his eyes were indifferent. He stayed on the face of the temple master for only a moment, and then turned to it. He looked at her like a stranger... ...But I could see clearly that the sleeves of the temple master trembled automatically in the absence of wind.

With the arrival of Bai Mi, our situation looks much better.The guards standing around with swords put away their weapons, and the tense situation was replaced by a polite captivity.He asked someone to take us away from here, sent us to a neatly furnished courtyard in the temple, ordered someone to bring exquisite tea and snacks, and replaced the guards with maidservants.Except for not letting us leave, he did everything we asked for, no matter what.

Although the guards were brought by Bai Wending, they were obviously not Bai Wending's direct descendants. Seeing that it was Bai Mi who came, and he was responsible for the imperial decree, Bai Mi was the main one, and he was the only one who followed suit.

I don't know what Bai Mi's plan is, I just feel that the time here is very slow, I look at the shadow of the weeping willow in the yard for a long time... It was here a long time ago, and it is still here after a long time here.

Even the breeze that blew from time to time slowed down the pace, the weeping willow branches stood still, and the spikes reflected on the ground, like patterns carved out of black rocks.

Finally, there was a breeze blowing the weeping willows, making the patterns on the ground into a mess, but I didn't feel the breeze blowing on my face. Just as I was wondering, a pair of dark purple leather boots appeared in front of me. Looking up, I saw Bai Mi's cheeks Facing the sun, it seemed to be shining faintly.

When I straightened up, the faint twilight faded, and his face was frozen like snow and ice: "Take this fake princess away!" Two guards beside him stepped forward, drew their swords out of their sheaths, and forced step forward.

He went first, and I was escorted by two guards, I felt like I was falling into the clouds, I couldn't figure out what was going on?
Is this the beginning of another conspiracy?Or maybe he was really old and dim-sighted, took the wrong medicine, and took the real as a fake?False as real?Thought I was switched again?
I was thinking wildly all the way, and unknowingly followed him to a house. I didn't even pay attention to the changes in the surrounding scenery all the way. I didn't know that I was back again until I saw the portrait of Shen Tu Yulei on the old vermilion lacquered wooden door clearly. In front of the dilapidated palace of the Ding Zhou Dynasty.

Because it is already daytime, the thin dust covered by the night on the palace has been wiped away, the sun has illuminated every corner of the palace, where the vermilion paint is peeling off, there are grim bricks, and moss has already appeared on the exquisite stone carving floor It is densely covered, and it will slip if you step on it accidentally.

I slipped just like that, and my whole body lay on the ground, my body was sore and sore, but Bai Mi just glanced at me lightly with his eyes, and ordered: "Pull her up."

One of the guards literally pulled me up...lifted me like a farmer lifts stubble.

My body hurts more.

This is one of the courtyards of the Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The inlaid gold and jade can be seen everywhere. It can be vaguely seen that the Great Zhou Dynasty was extravagant and prosperous at that time. The details are more exquisite and luxurious than the imperial palace of Dingzhou. The dense golden millet on the top is faintly radiant against the sunlight.The more I walked, the more I felt the luxury here, just a concubine's courtyard, much more gorgeous than Emperor Wu Chong's bedroom.

No wonder the temple was built magnificently, presumably the original appearance was even more magnificent than this, and it was built like this, but it was kept as it was.

We stopped in front of a door with peeling vermilion paint, and the sun shone on the door from the shadows of the trees, and we saw that the door was shining brightly for a moment.Only then can I see clearly that the door is inlaid with complicated patterns, the frame of the pattern, the petals made of gold wire, the leaves of all kinds of gemstones inlaid to perfectly fit, birds, insects, fish... If this door turns into The silver is estimated to fill the entire room.

Bai Mi pushed the door open and entered, the house was already lit with candles, unlike the dilapidated ones outside, this place has obviously been cleaned and tidied up.Light and shadow cast through the window lattice, I could clearly see the almond-colored dress sitting alone in front of the window, and was wondering who it was, when I heard the door close behind me.

She turned her head slowly, as if I saw a mirror, I saw my own face again, but the person reflected in this mirror was much more radiant.

The apricot-colored dress made her look extremely beautiful.

The snow-white face is carved out of crystal frozen jade.

She smiled at me... I couldn't help shivering, thinking that I could still smile so beautifully?

Like fireworks and snow, the veils are all warm, making people feel like drinking wine at first sight.

She walked towards me slowly, the long apricot-colored dress was not windy, but swayed like an osmanthus tree, before she got close to her, she could smell the faint fragrance.

"This person really looks like the princess." She laughed softly.

If there was a lightning strike in my mind... Bai Mi really took the fake as the real, the real as the fake?
Her sweet smile made me speechless, her well-groomed face, and her golden hair bun gave me a kind of beauty and luxury that only she could match in this room.

But in the face of this person pretending to be me, and pretending to be more like me, it is difficult not to get angry, and she still pretends to be real, looking me up and down, so I am sure that she will help the weak like a willow Walking posture, stretching her legs... As I expected, according to the rules of her clothes, if she wants to dress nicely and show her figure, she must move slowly, and only slowly can she walk out of the posture of supporting the weak willow, so regardless of her martial arts No matter how high she was, she couldn't use all kinds of moves, so she fell to the ground like I just slipped and fell on the moss.

I clapped my hands, stepped on her back, pointed at her back and said: "This person's face is similar to this princess, but his skills are really not like it, how can this princess fall so ugly? "

There was a burst of laughter from behind the screen, and then the laughter grew louder...

"She's Ah Dan..."

"She is indeed Ah-Dan, only Ah-Dan is so naughty..."

"And there are some fallacies in the naughty..."

Finally, everyone came out from the screen and said in unison: "I already knew that she was Ah Dan."

I looked around and saw their excited faces and eager eyes. I thought to myself where did Zhuge Liang's gnashing of teeth hate at the beginning after these things?
I can't even tell the obvious facts apart. Apart from his face, what else does the person I'm stepping on resemble me?

I looked cold and did not respond to their eagerness. I swept towards them one by one. Their expressions froze and hesitated...

"Is she Ah Dan?" Xia Han said, "Once she's not lively, I can't recognize her anymore, especially when she doesn't speak, she is indifferent and indifferent. The two are really similar."

When she made such a comment, even the father and mother hesitated, and retracted the hands that were stretched out to hug.

I am anxious!
At this moment, another person walked out from the screen and said softly, "She is Ah Dan..."

It's Princess Lingxuan.

Even though the candlelight in the room was dim, I could clearly see the light in her eyes. This light was too different from her silent ashes when she was outside just now. The light in her eyes was caused by me...

Although my father and mother raised me as their own, but after all, there is Yiyu, their hearts are divided into two halves, but she makes me feel that the whole world in her eyes is me.

Such eagerness and urgency made me want to run away. As soon as I took a step back, I was hugged by her. The fresh and warm smell reminded me of Wufu meatballs... It turned out that she had already hugged me, and now I was only focused on eating When Wufu Wanzi didn't look at the road under her feet and fell, when she ran after the dog, and when the dog got angry and was chased by them and fell to the ground...she always appeared in such a timely manner, stopped in front of me, and waved Crutches, picked me up or chased the dog away... Her arms were still so warm.

It's so warm that I fall in love with it.

The door was reopened, Bai Mi walked in, she let me go, bowed to Bai Mi and said: "Prince Ning, thank you."

Bai Mi said: "I hope you can follow the previous agreement."

Princess Lingxuan sighed: "Okay, let me tell you..."

But before the words were finished, the fake princess suddenly jumped up from the ground and slid towards Princess Lingxuan like a fish. In the blink of an eye, I could clearly see the blue hairpin on the tip of the hairpin she was holding. Light, that is a dagger that seals the throat when it sees blood.

No one guards against her, even I don't think she will do much anymore.

The short sword pierced Princess Lingxuan's neck with the breath of death. Princess Lingxuan fell to the ground like a silent landscape painting, with blood gushing from her neck, especially with a slight smile on her face, I could even see crystal clear tears dripping from the corners of her eyes.

I heard the sound of the neck being broken, and from the corner of my eye, Bai Mi cut the neck of the fake princess with a palm, but the fake princess sighed, as if to say: "It's finished..." Her words followed her neck The snap was sealed in the throat.

As for Bai Mi, at that moment, his face was full of remorse, or he was thinking, why bother?
Why bother to keep her?
Suddenly, I felt panic welling up in my heart, like a person falling into the water, the lake water from all directions poured into the nose and mouth, the air was forced out from the heart and lungs, and it was like I just took a priceless treasure in my hand. Knowing that the treasure fell to pieces on the ground because of his own miss.

I hugged her in a panic, trying to seal the blood on her neck with my hands, but the wound turned into a bruise in no time.

The old man said: "Let go of her quickly, she is poisoned." The old man squeezed forward, took out a medicine bottle from his arms, and sprinkled it on her wound, but it was in vain. It spreads over the entire face.

"Ah Dan, Ah Dan..." she whispered, "Now, you really have to stay in this world alone..."

Her words were like a sigh, lingering in my ears, and when I was about to catch them, I saw that her lips were closed, her eyes and eyebrows were closed, and even the wrist in her hand had become cold .

"She's gone..." Someone hugged me and whispered in my ear, "She's gone, Ah Dan..."

When I regained my senses, I realized that I had been supported and sat on a chair by the table, and Princess Lingxuan was lying on the bed with a white cloth covering her face.

"Ah Dan, there will be me in the future..." the old man said worriedly.

I don't know what my expression is like, I just feel like there is an empty piece in my heart that no one can fill it up. The worried looks of the people around me make me upset, so I just ask myself repeatedly in my heart: Why did she do that?

Yeah, why do that?She is my older sister, and she is not related by blood, why should she guard me like this?
Unconsciously, I asked: "Who is she?" I raised my head, looked at the people around me, and asked again, "Who is she?"

No one answered, but I could see clearly that my father and mother avoided my inquiry...they must know the truth.

The light in the room is dim, the red lacquer box inlaid with mother-of-pearl is covered with a layer of gray, and the picture of three rabbits with sweet-scented osmanthus on the wall is only a light ink shadow... The delicate and soft gauze on her body is blown away by the wind in the gap between the doors. When she woke up, it made people feel that she had only slept for a while. Now that the dawn is warm, it brings a scent of fragrance in the house, which makes her smell the fragrance and sweep it lightly and evenly.

But it was always just an illusion.

I was suddenly very afraid, afraid of knowing the truth hidden under the splendor and wealth, afraid that it would be like the thunder and lightning before the storm, tearing the floating clouds in the sky, afraid that it was the jewel that looked crystal clear but was actually blown by a breeze , then become pig powder.

So, leave it all as it is... just fine.

My silence made the people in the house secretly heave a sigh of relief. I could feel the glances exchanged between my father and mother, and the faint sadness was blowing towards my face like a thick fog in late autumn with coolness.

"This king will let the eldest princess Lingxuan be buried honorably." Bai Mi whispered.

"The old man failed to fulfill the entrustment of the prince," said the old man, "I can't help the prince."

"Maybe this batch of things hasn't seen the light of day yet." Bai Mi said.

But I can clearly see the faint worry between his eyebrows, think of his busy these days, think of more and more ragged people who have been pouring into the capital in the past six months, think of the imperial book money written by him himself... ...Although the characters are delicate and upright, the weight of the money is lighter than those replaced by the previous few.

Although separated by thousands of miles, the news came from the exiles: the Yellow River broke its embankment for thousands of miles, starvation was everywhere, and small border countries took the opportunity to invade, burning, killing, and looting.

Although the new dynasty has conquered the country, after several generations of dynasties, the wealth is no longer what it used to be.

Therefore, Ding Zhou needs the secret from the Queen's hands.

His hope vanished with the death of the imperial sister.

"My lord will investigate the origin of the murderer!" The faint wind blowing through the door made the candles on the table flicker, and the veil cast shadows on his eyebrows, making his face like a blue rock in the shadows, emitting a cold light , "The country is ruined and the family is destroyed, he actually doesn't even care about this!"

His expression was like the snow falling in midwinter, chilling people.

I suddenly realized that the marriage that Emperor Wu Chong pointed out to me and him was probably for this level, for this thing that has not been seen yet, his sacrifice is not insignificant.

This kind of thinking made my heart feel like soaking in the sauerkraut altar, and I wanted to escape from this place, from this identity and place that did not belong to me.

I looked towards the door, calculating the distance between the vermilion-painted red door and me, and how to move there quietly.

This splendid house makes me just want to go away.

On the door is a boy door god painted with gold lacquer, holding grain ears and coral, implying auspiciousness. Although the indoor light is extremely dim, you can vaguely see the boy's naive and tender face.

Seeing that the door was getting closer and closer to me, I could clearly see that the ears of grain in his hand were painted and dyed with gold lacquer, shining faintly.

At the same time, I could see the mist rising from the gap in the door.

Is it foggy?

Before I could think clearly, the gold-clad door handle turned slowly, and there was a light knock on the door frame.

But in an instant, the room was filled with a dark fragrance.

The door was opened, and the mercury-like moonlight poured into the room. There was someone holding a white fan by the door and shaking it. It was the red clothes in the daytime that turned silver red under the light.

Bai Wending walked through the room, like strolling in a garden: "Imperial brother, I heard that there are many good things in this old palace, don't forget about you, big brother..."

At this time, the dark fragrance was even stronger, bringing with it a drowsiness like a spring day, I couldn't help but scream, this Bai Wending tore through the veil of tenderness, and he didn't care about anything?
Where the door was opened, there was another group of people hiding in the corner of the eaves, and this group would definitely not obey Bai Mi's order.

The death of the eldest princess Lingxuan has made him feel unscrupulous.

Even the candlelight in this room seems to be affected by this deep sleepiness, flickering so slowly.

The old parents slumped down on the chairs and stools, while Xia Han and Xia Ji leaned on the wooden pillars in the room and slid down slowly.

The only one who is normal is Bai Mi, silent and cold, watching Bai Wending without saying a word, I guess he has noticed something strange, he is closing the acupoints all over his body, so he can't answer Bai Wending's question.

His silence could not stop Bai Wending from harassing, he waved his fan lightly: "The spring is late, this is the incense that the crown prince recently wanted to give to his father, composed of ambergris, cinnamon, sandalwood, and benzoin Didn't father sleep well recently? As princes, we always have to think more about father. More and more beggars in the capital make him sleep badly. The soldiers guarding the border and broken weapons also make him He can't sleep well, but with this late spring, no matter how troublesome and worrying he is, he will sleep peacefully."

He smiled slightly: "Little brother, don't waste your energy. Think about it, the four seasons alternate, the galaxy changes, it is a natural state, and no one can stop it. Like this spring, it is delayed, but it will come eventually. Manpower How can you resist?"

This must be a kind of pervasive poison, which can infiltrate the whole body in an instant, like this fragrance, it fills the whole room in an instant, when you notice the white mist, the fragrance has filled the whole room, smell the fragrance, you have already been recruited.

"I originally thought that as long as the second brother turns a blind eye, I will get along with the second brother, but after all these years, you still haven't changed." Bai Wending sighed softly, "It makes me miss my subordinate No mercy!"

As the fragrance lingered, I could clearly see the flashing pain in his eyes. What he said was true. In that valley, he had saved Bai Mi, and his weakness when facing him several times, even for a few days Before, he hid in my tent and healed the wound Bai Mi gave him. He had no intention of killing him, but in the end, such weakness was pressed by the situation step by step, until they were about to break up completely.

I finally understood what he said when he cut off the extra branches of the bonsai—but there are always those unruly ones that pop out when the craftsman is not paying attention.

Bai Mi is his meticulously maintained bonsai, the branch that grows horizontally without paying attention.

The sad thing is that Bai Mi didn't realize that he was that bonsai, which was being carefully maintained from beginning to end.

But as far as I can see, he chose the wrong person and the wrong material for the bonsai. Bai Mi was originally that wild and angry temperament. No matter how carefully he maintains it, Bai Mi will not grow into the appearance of his sculpture obediently. .

"What did you say?"
