While recovering from the injury, she gestured to tell me something, such as how Gu Jian saved her. It turned out that the earliest time, because I wanted Gu Jian to save her internal injury, Gu Jian lost half of her internal strength for this. If this were not the case, he wouldn't have died in chaotic arrows.

Adu is as stupid as I am.

I gestured slowly, and I asked her: "Do you like him?"

Adu didn't answer me. There was a faint mist in her eyes. She turned her face to look at the lotus outside the window, then turned her face back and smiled at me again.

I knew she was crying.

This girl, just like me, smiles at people even when she cries.

From Adu, I learned many things, such as the first time Li Chengyin was assassinated, Adu went out to chase the assassin, and was seriously injured by the assassin. I always thought that it was really the person sent by the queen, but in the end Adu found out that it was not.

"His Royal Highness." Adu wrote on the paper, "Sun Er is the leader."

I was completely shaken by this name. Sun Er? If Sun Er is Li Chengyin's person, then the queen is wronged? It was not that she sent someone to assassinate Li Chengyin, but Li Chengyin's own tactics? When I was in Mingyufang, it was Sun Er who led people to splash ink and make trouble, and led Li Chengyin and me away. All the conspiracies in the middle have nothing to do with Li Chengyin?

What did he do? Li Chengyin, what did he do...

Adu wrote on the paper stroke by stroke, telling me intermittently: That day she felt that the situation was not right outside Mingyufang, so she followed Sun Er to find out what happened, but did not want to be discovered by Sun Er. The martial arts of Sun Second Hand were very high. She was outnumbered. In the end, those people didn't kill her, but kept her in a very secret place. Fortunately, Gu Jian rescued her a few days later and took her to see me in the ruined temple. She asked Gu Jian why he hid me in the ruined temple, only to realize that Gu Jian and Sun Er were both under Li Chengyin's instructions. Originally, Li Chengyin asked Gu Jian to coerce his majesty, because he wanted to make his majesty mistakenly think that someone was obstructing his investigation of the old case of the Chen family. Unexpectedly, I would rush out and change my hostage voluntarily, so Gu Jian would just take me away.

I don't dare to think about it anymore, and I don't want to think about it. I just think that every time I think about it, it feels like the midwinter of the three nines, and my heart feels cold. Li Chengyin is now a stranger to me, a terrible stranger, and I will never think of anything else he can do. Everything he did three years ago was as terrible, and three years later he was even more terrible. He set a trap to kill Gu Jian, did he want to kill people? Gu Jian was clearly his cousin, and did so many ugly things for him. Li Chengyin doesn't even care about Adu, does he never want me to know something?

I feel completely cold in my heart, what is he doing? For the first time, I felt that the hearts of the people in this world are so terrible, this Donggong is so terrible, and Li Chengyin is so terrible.

It was so terrible that I shuddered.

Adu and I are still under semi-house arrest, and now I don’t care. In this lonely East Palace, only I and her depend on each other.

Yueniang visited me several times, and I said to her: "You must be careful in the palace alone."

How can the love of the emperor last? The emperor included her in the palace, only to use her name to reverse the case for the Chen family. There were so many beauties in the palace, and there were more than the East Palace. Concubine Gao Gui died of a sudden illness, and it is secretly said that she swallowed gold and committed suicide because she lost power. Things in the palace always spread quickly in the East Palace.

I know that Yueniang’s situation is very delicate. Although the emperor still spoils her on the surface, she was born in Houlan after all. Now the new power of the DPRK has re-formed, and his majesty has accepted a new concubine. The ministers persuaded him to appoint a new queen, but his majesty still seems to have not made up his mind.

If there is a queen, I wonder if Yueniang will be jealous of the new queen. Yongniang told me about Princess Lan of the previous dynasty. She was framed to death by the queen because of her bad background. I really don't want Yueniang to fall like that.

Yueniang smiled: "Don't worry, I can handle it."

She played a tune for me.

"Pick the lotus in Nantang in autumn, the lotus is over the head, bow your head and get the lotus seeds, the lotus seeds are as clear as water..."

Yue Niang’s voice is so nice, like soft fog, like dew rolling on lotus leaves, more like a gust of wind, blowing across the high palace wall, across the swing, and across After the blue sky, the white clouds blew past... There are small birds in the blue sky. It has been flying, flying, flying to the west, flying back to Xiliang, although Xiliang does not have such a beautiful lotus pond, nor has it been picked. Lian’s beauty, but Xiliang is my home.

I remembered the days when I was in Mingyufang, how happy, carefree, and indulging in singing at that time.

I sighed: "I don't know when I will listen to you next time."

Yue Niang said: "I will come to see you again."

I didn't speak, I was determined to go back to Xiliang.

Adu's injury is healed, and the two of us can go together.

Li Chengyin ordered Pei Zhao to select a lot of people to follow me, nominally to protect me, but actually guards. Those people are guarded very tightly. If I rush out with Adu, I think it won't work. So we can only act by chance.

Qiao Qiao Festival on the seventh day of July is a lively day for the palace. Because Your Majesty’s Longevity Day also happened to be this day, so half a month ago, the palace was decorated with lanterns and flowers, arranged gardens, and purchased new boats. The banquet this day was on Qiongshan Island in Nanyuan Lake. There are Calyx Tower and Qianlv Pavilion on the island, which are good places near the water and wind to cool off the heat.

Li Chengyin entered the palace early in the morning, and I was a little later than him. His Majesty will give a feast to the officials on the Longevity Day as usual, so there is also a feast in the Chengde Palace. The feast in the harem was presided over by the concubine of His Majesty's new book, and the arrangement was extremely appropriate. I boarded the boat from the back of the Temple of Ganlu, and on the boat, I heard the faint sound of music from the water. Those were orchestras arranged by the concubine under the shade of the trees by the pool, playing silk and bamboo. Through the sound of water, the mist is like fairy music.

The formal banquet started at dusk. The Nanyuan Pond was filled with white lotus flowers. The petals of these lotus flowers are white and overlapping, but there is no fragrance. The sage concubine ordered people to place lotus lanterns in the water, and there were scented cakes in the lotus lanterns, which were placed on the candles with copper plates. After the candles burned, the aroma was strong, and they were sent by the water and wind from far away. Incense is going to be compared. On the waterfront pavilion is the new row of Lingbo Dancers of the club. Dancers in green dresses are dancing like lotus leaf fairies. The lights and candles in the pavilion are reflected on your water surface. The streamer is shining, and the reflection shines like broken stars.

His Majesty was very satisfied with this arrangement, and he praised the concubine for her dexterity. Especially when the lotus lantern placed the incense, the concubine Xian said with a smile: "Where is the concubine's idea, but the concubine's daily saying, the beauty of the lotus, regrets no fragrance. The female official next to the concubine, Aman, has always been smart, and finally Come up with a way and order someone to make this lotus lantern, which can be praised by your majesty. It is indeed A Man's blessing. The concubine will order her to thank you."

The female officer named Ah Man, only sixteen or seventeen years old, came out and gave a salute to Your Majesty Tingting. When he raised his head, many people seemed to take a breath. This Ah Man looked so much. Even better than Yueniang. Everyone thought she was very beautiful, like a white lotus. His Majesty seemed to be taken aback by her beauty, and was taken aback, and then ordered someone to reward her with a pair of jade bottles and a box of agarwood. I thought that your majesty would make her a concubine again. Who knows that your majesty suddenly said to Li Chengyin: "Yin'er, what do you think of this woman?"

Li Chengyin originally sat opposite me. He was probably tired and he didn't speak much. Now that the emperor suddenly asked him, he just glanced at Na Aman and said indifferently: "It's a beauty."

His Majesty said: "There is no one to wait for you. It is better to ask Ah Man to go to the East Palace, and I will order Ye Ting to choose another person to serve as the female officer."

Li Chengyin said: "There is no shortage of people to wait for your son, thank you father for kindness."

I couldn't help but move. His Majesty asked: "What does the princess have to say?"

I said: "Father, your majesty is thin-skinned, I'm embarrassed to ask. Ah Man is so beautiful, he doesn't want me, so please ask your Majesty to give me a reward."

His Majesty laughed and agreed.

I know Li Chengyin glared at me, but I ignored him. Concubine Xian seemed very happy, and immediately ordered Ah Man to wait on my case. After the midnight feast was over, when she was out of the palace, she deliberately ordered someone to prepare a carriage to see Aman off, and to follow my car.

Giving a banquet in the palace is a very tiring thing, especially with a heavy hairpin. The car was swaying, almost breaking my neck. I took off the heavy hairpin and sighed slowly. I hope that such days will never happen again.

Finally, the car stopped, the curtain was lifted, and the small yellow door outside was carrying a lantern, and a stool was placed to let me get off. As soon as I leaned, Li Chengyin suddenly got off his horse and walked over angrily, kicking the stool over with one foot. The little yellow doors were so scared that they all retreated, kneeling far away.

"What are you doing?" I couldn't help asking.

As a result, he stretched out his arm, like an eagle catching a chicken, and grabbed me from the car.

Adu came forward to rescue me, Pei Zhao silently reached out to stop her. Li Chengyin carried me on my shoulders, I yelled, and then I saw A Du and Pei Zhao fighting, Pei Zhao's skill was so good, A Du couldn't rush for a while. I cursed Li Chengyin, kicked and bitten, pinched his waist hard, and pulled off a piece of white jade embedded in his belt, but he walked forward on his own and carried me into the main hall of Li. .

"Boom!"

My head hit the porcelain pillow, it hurts! Li Chengyin almost threw me on the bed like a rice bag. I got up immediately, and he pushed me down again when he stretched out his arms. I haven't had a fight for several months, and my hands and feet are really slow. The two of us only had to tear down the main hall. The servant had once probed his head at the door, but Li Chengyin threw a vase at him and almost slammed it on him. The servant was so frightened that he shrank back. He took it to the door. This fight left me out of breath and out of breath. In the end, I was tired and paralyzed there, not wanting to move. I stopped struggling, and Li Chengyin became more gentle.

Li Chengyin still hugs me from behind, he seems to like to hug people like this, but I always feel horrible with his arm resting on my pillow.

Actually, he may also be very tired, his snot sprayed on my neck, itchy.

He murmured something, probably a sweet talk to deceive me.

I didn't say a word.

He didn't speak for a long time, and I slowly looked back, he actually fell asleep with his head tilted.

I put my hand on his eyelid, and he slept deeply, motionless.

I got up carefully, put on the skirt first, and then opened the window. Adu came in quietly and handed me a pair of scissors.

I sat under the lamp and began to carefully cut my nails.

Be careful not to let the white powder in your nails be blown out by your breath.

The Ecstasy powder from this kind of food is really powerful, but I scratched a little skin on Li Chengyin's arm, and now he sleeps so deeply.

After cutting my nails, I washed my hands again, confirmed that there was nothing left of the drugs, and then put on the night clothes again.

Adu handed me the knife, and I looked at Li Chengyin who was asleep, as long as a knife, as long as a knife is gently in his neck, all the hatred will disappear.

He slept unsteadily. Although it had the effect of being drugged, his brows were slightly wrinkled and his eyelids moved slightly, as if he was dreaming. I gently put the cold blade on his neck, he was unconscious, as long as my hand was slightly hard, he could cut his throat.

The corners of his mouth moved slightly, and it seemed that the dream was very painful. I slowly applied force little by little, bloodshot leaked out from the blade, and it had already cut through his thin skin. Just move on. ... He seemed to feel the pain in his dream, the muscles on his face began to twist, his fingers moved slightly, as if he was about to grasp something. He seemed to be yelling, but the sound actually made was so slight that I could hardly hear him.

My hand trembled, but the knife fell on the ground with a bang. Adu thought Li Chengyin was awake and rushed to grab it. I covered my face with my hands.

I finally remembered, remembering that I fell in Wangchuan three years ago, but he jumped down after me, he grabbed me, and we fell down rapidly in the wind... He held me spinning in the wind ...He kept trying to catch the rocks on the mountain wall, but we fell too fast, and the chaotic gravel fell with us, like the stars in the sky falling like rain...It was like that night. By the river, countless fireflies flew from between our sleeves, like a brilliant rain of stars, illuminating my and his face...Only he is staring into my eyes in the world...

I met this situation in my dreams time and time again. I dreamed about it again and again, but I didn't know that it was him.

Until I remembered what happened three years ago again, I couldn't remember what he said when the wind flickered in my ears.

It turned out to be just this sentence: "I will forget with you."

The cold clear water of Wangchuan came up to flood us, and I breathed hard in the water, swallowing and vomiting are cold water. He jumped down to grab me, but in the end he only said this to me.

"I will forget with you."

He knew all the difficulties and dangers, and everything, and he felt sorry for me.

At the summit of Wangchuan, when he jumped down after me without hesitation, he actually wanted to forget all that like me.

He also knew clearly that Gu Xiaowu was dead, just like me, drowned in Wangchuan.

We are all lonely ghosts, we have never turned around. I used three years of forgetting to survive, and he used three years of forgetting to obliterate everything in the past.

In this world, who is more painful than anyone else?

In this world, forgetting may always be happier than remembering.

Adu picked up the knife and handed it to me again.

But I don’t have the courage to kill.

I stared at his face, even in a dream, he was just as troubled. The little prince in his mouth lived so pitifully many years ago, but now he is still so pitiful. In this east palace, without any of his relatives, he is a lonely man after all, living in this world, walking toward the throne alone. Go, and discard all the emotions, all the enthusiasm, all the pity and cherish all the way. Perhaps forgetting is a better punishment for him. He will never know that I used to love him that way.

I took Adu and turned around.

Li Chengyin originally asked Pei Zhao to arrange more than a dozen masters by my side, but tonight I was fighting with Li Chengyin, and the movement was too loud. These people have long known and evaded far away. Ah and I The crossing went out of Lizhengdian smoothly.

Miscellaneous things like Donggong have always been commonplace for us. What's more, this time we planned for a long time, not only to get a clear picture of the time of the Habayashi army patrol, but also to take advantage of the mid-June, the East Palace's internal servants were re-arranged, and a very small side door was long left. Adu and I were dodging all the way, walking around the palace wall around and around, seeing as we were approaching the small door, suddenly Adu caught me.

I saw Yong Niang standing there alone with a lamp in her hand. The small lantern was swayed by the wind. She looked around from time to time as if she was waiting for someone.

Adu and I hid behind a bush of bamboos, and after a long time, Yongniang still stood there.

I pulled La Adu's sleeves, Adu understood, slowly pulled out the wrong gold knife, and walked quietly to Yongniang.

At this time, Yong Niang suddenly sighed and sat down with her knees on her hands.

Adu turned the back of the knife upside down and was hitting Yongniang's acupuncture point. Yongniang's body suddenly froze, unable to move.

I stretched out my arms, hugged her stiff body, and whispered: "Yong Niang, I'm leaving, but I will miss you."

In this East Palace, only Yongniang, like Adu, has taken care of me in every possible way.

The corners of Yong Niang's mouth were slightly opened, and her dumb acupoints were sealed, and she could not make any noise.
