Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

"Here, where is it?"

Hearing my heavy question, Yu Wenying didn't answer me immediately, but set her eyes on the calm lake farther away, looked at it for a long time, and then slowly said, "Here is a ghost town."

"Ghost town ?!"

These two words seemed like a sudden cold wind that made my whole body wince.

I suddenly remembered the story of Zhiye Erye, which was heard by Father Hu in Fengxiang City, as well as the businessmen who returned to the rescue department on the road. They also said, is this here?

Ghost town?

I turned and looked forward, but where is there any city, it is clearly a calm lake. Although it appears on the deserted Gobi beach, and it is so large, it seems strange, but at this moment, everyone is ecstatic. The huge waves, the camels, horses, and even other animals that can be seen in the distance, lie on the edge of the lake and drink water, it is a lively scene.

This is clearly the water that gives life to people. How can it be connected with the word "ghost city"?

I reluctantly smiled: "Is this a rumor wrong? It is clearly a lake here, where is the ghost?"

"..."

Yu Wenying turned to look at me, and after a while, said, "Is the rumor wrong?"

"..."

His eyes seemed a bit indifferent, but there was an irresistible force in that indifference, as if no matter what he said was correct, it was the truth, and no one could refute it.

I froze for a while, watching him blankly.

He also looked at me, but didn't say anything, but after a slight smile, he turned around and greeted those who were ecstatic at the water's edge, asking them all to come back to prepare for a rest at night.

Unlike everyone, everyone was ecstatic to see the lake here. Only he seemed to be depressed, but after the depression, he still calmly arranged everyone to raise a few bonfires, cook and eat, and prepare for the night's protection. The emergence of this large lake will attract animals familiar with the area to drink water, and the wolf packs that appear during the day are also very clear. There will be many opportunities for hunting here.

At night, it was the most active time for wolves.

However, these things are of course handled by the guards. Me and Miaoyan and Nangong Lizhu are the same as before. They are gurgling around a bonfire and guarding the pot on the fire. Soaked, you can still see some small animals walking around. Originally they wanted to hit some hares to eat, but Yu Wenying warned them that if they got bloody, it would be easier to attract wolves, and everyone could only continue to endure this dull tasteless food.

After a while, everything was cooked, everyone had a bowl, and it was a day when they were hungry, and everyone ate it.

But I ca n’t eat much.

In the evening, those words that Yu Wenying said entangled in my mind. I seemed to feel something faint, but because of the overwork and hunger these days, my mind is like a bowl in my hand, only the rest A mess, I can't remember anything.

Ghost town ...

Is this peaceful lake a ghost town?

It doesn't look like it!

Nangong Lizhu looked at me frowning and said, "Yan Qingying, what do you want? Have you been hungry for a day?"

"what?"

I glanced up at her, and looked at the bowl I had barely touched, smiling: "Oh."

I just took a sip, and the wonderful words beside me put down the empty bowl. Both Nangong Li and I were startled: "You eat so fast ?!"

She smiled shyly, "I'm hungry."

"Do you want to eat more?"

"No, I'm full."

Speaking, he turned to look at the blackened lake again, and said, "Mother, shall I go over and see again? I haven't seen the water for a long time."

I smiled and said, "Look at it, don't run away. You didn't hear what Mr. Yu Wen said just now, there will be wolves. Grandma wolf will take you away!"

"I know, don't scare me, mother!"

She also did not believe this kind of story about stopping the night cries, and ran to the lake with joy.

I looked back and saw that Nangong Lizhu was also looking at the back of Miaoyan. There was a bit of kindness in her eyes. This kind of gaze appeared to her, but it surprised me a little.

She murmured, "Princess, but nothing like you."

"is it?"

"She's like the emperor."

"..."

"Like the emperor, when I was very young, at that time, me and him, and-" Speaking here, her voice was a little astringent, and she stunned herself before saying, "We don't understand anything. He is very It was the same when he was a child. He couldn't stop for a moment. He climbed up all the roofs in the imperial city, and said that he was-King's Land. "

With that said, her voice was a little astringent, and she hurriedly concealed her head down.

I looked at her red eyes and only smiled slightly.

She lowered her head and whispered, "If only you could stay there forever."

"..."

At this time, my own mind was also messy, and I didn't know how to comfort her. At least in my opinion, no one could stay at that time forever, even herself—it was not the pure innocence of that time. Girls, not to mention Pei Yuanzhang and Pei Yuanxiu, they have already embarked on their own destiny, and even today they ca n’t go back, how can they stay in the past?

However, it is rare that she would take the initiative to talk to me about her own thoughts. Although I have only a mess in my head, I still cheer up and said softly, "Don't think about the past anymore. The important thing is, What will you do in the future? "

"future?"

Her thin shoulders trembled slightly: "Can we have a future?"

"of course--"

I was about to persuade her, but as soon as I left, I heard a scream from the calm lake behind me.

"what--!"

It's a wonderful word, it's the sound of a wonderful word!

I stood up for a while, turned around and ran towards the lake. Nangong Lizhu quickly got up and ran over with the surrounding guards who heard the movement.

And Miaoyan ran towards us, and she slammed into my arms, almost knocking me down, and felt that she was trembling all over her, holding her arms tightly around my waist.

I hurriedly asked her, "Well done, what happened? What happened?"

She looked up in horror and looked at me: "Mother, me, I see--"

"What do you see?"

"I see, I see something at the bottom of the lake!"

"Stuff? What did you see?"
