away from the heart

Chapter 2
After returning to the sleeping hall to freshen up and tidy up, it was already dark.Taoyao tied Chuyue's blue silk into a long whip, took out a white silk, and skillfully threw it on the beam to tie it into a knot. The hanging end was tied with Chuyue's braid, and she adjusted the length again. : "You try?"

Chuyue sat at the table and lowered her head.The length of Taoyao's hanging beam was adjusted just right, and if the head was lowered a little, the braid would be pulled so that the scalp hurt.Chuyue suffered from pain, and was impatient for a while, slammed the table and shouted: "Serve the wine, serve the wine, this princess wants to get drunk and relieve all worries!"

Tao Yao took out the wine utensils from the cage drawer carved with golden silk and painted with gold and put them on.The white jade wine set gleamed faintly under the bright candlelight, and it looked like a high-quality item.She poured half a glass for Chuyue: "Prince Shun brought you flower carvings a few days ago before he left Beijing. He said they were from the south. They are better than tributes. They are very fragrant but not intoxicating. Prince Shun said , I guess you have been upset recently because of Bei Zehou, so I specially picked it for you. However, Prince Shun also said that you should drink in moderation, and you must not drink too much. It is still early, and if you fall asleep, you will Terrible."

This Lord Shun is talking about her younger brother, Xu Xingchen.Even though he is a younger brother, he manages more than his ancestors, plus this Tao Yao, who babbles like an old master every day, not allowing this or that, not even drinking to his heart's content.Chuyue felt more and more melancholy, took a sip and asked, "I forgot to ask earlier, what did your father say today, why did you suddenly change your mind and agree to divorce me?"

Taoyao showed embarrassment, bit her lips, and then replied falteringly: "Actually... it's not that the emperor changed his mind. This marriage... is the one that Marquis Bei Ze wants to retire. Marquis Bei Ze doesn't know why I heard that you don't sleep at night, wandering around the palace all night, it is said... that you were possessed by Concubine Yun who died a few days ago, and now the whole palace is spreading the news..."

Chuyue wants to cry but has no tears: "I also want to sleep well at night. It's all because of my insane illness. I have to have the sun to sleep. But after all, the marriage is divorced, so it's a blessing in disguise." She said happily Get up, "Taoyao, bring my "Guanshan Chronicle" and make a pot of strong tea. I can't sleep for a long night, and I am idle. I want to relive the beautiful love between Mr. Guanshan and Wanwan."

Tao Yao responded, closed the door and retreated.There was no one else in the room, Chuyue was very bored, staring at the candle shadow on the window lattice in a daze.Canary Palace Canary Palace.In the play during the day, everything else is false, only the sentence about the bird in the golden cage is true.I don't know when Xing Chen will come back, take her out of this cage, like Mr. Guan Shan in "Guan Shan Chronicle", travel around the world in style and ease, and only then can he be considered to have lived a serious life in this world.

The shadow of the candle flickered suddenly.Chuyue was stunned: The door was closed in the middle of the night, where did the wind come from?Before she had time to think about it, there was a click, and the window opened, and a few people in night clothes flashed out and came straight towards her.Chuyue stood up in a panic and wanted to run away, but her braids were tightly bound by Bai Ling, and just after taking half a step, her scalp was pulled in severe pain, and she couldn't dodge at all.Chuyue held her head and screamed: "Ah! There are assassins! Help!"

The door opened with a creak, and Tao Yao was about to enter the door with a book and a teapot in his hands. Seeing the scene inside the room, she was stunned for a moment, then suddenly let go and threw something and rushed over: "Let go of the princess!"

The assassin threw Chuyue behind him, the sword's edge flickered coldly, and it was about to stab Tao Yao's chest.Taoyao!Chuyue got the strength from somewhere, stabilized her figure and turned forward, blocking Taoyao's body.

There was a pain in the chest, another pain in the back, and then the pain seemed to be numb.Chuyue lowered her head and saw that the blade of the sword had sunk into her body deeply, the wound was bleeding profusely, and it bloomed quickly on the white pajamas, and a bright red flower bloomed, the peony planted in her yard was redr than the stars But also beautiful.

Tao Yao seemed to be shouting something hoarsely behind her, but she couldn't hear it clearly.This is the end?In this life, I haven't really lived outside the palace, I haven't had a love like the heroes and beauties in the book, and I haven't... really lived, but it just ended like this?
