Qing Yan

A bright moon hangs high in the dark blue night sky, and dots of flickering stars are dotted around the bright moon, just like a situation where the stars are holding the moon.

The night wind blows gently, neither fast nor slow.The bright white moonlight passed through the partition of the wind and projected on the ridge of the temple.The spine beast crouching on it is staring at its big eyes like copper bells, and its mouth is wide open, making a hideous appearance.

The breeze swept by, and the bells under the eaves of the hall made a crisp sound of "dingling dingling", which made Fengxian Hall even more lonely at night.

"Chirp chirp", "tweet chirp"—

Several unknown birds flapped their wings and went back to their nests.

The wind stopped, the sound stopped, and the dark hall returned to silence in the night.

Just at this time, "chachacha", rhythmic footsteps came from far and near.Immediately afterwards, a lit lantern turned out from the corner of the corridor in front of the hall.

The owner of the lantern, in his early 20s, dressed in the uniform of an inner eunuch, approached the Fengxian Temple skillfully.

Pang Xi is the little inner eunuch in charge of Fengxian Hall, and he is on duty tonight.

Just like in the past, Pang Xi held the lantern, gently pushed open the gate of Fengxian Hall, and carefully inspected around the hall.Especially in the censer in front of the gods of the former emperors, he carefully inspected it for fear of sparks that had not burned out.

Until it was confirmed that there was no difference, Pang Xi came to the God of Emperor Gaozu like he did every time before the end, put the lantern aside, knelt down on the futon and bowed, still murmuring to himself——

"Grandfather Gao, you have a spirit in the sky, and your servants respectfully serve you day and night. You must bless your servants to gain glory and wealth, and you must bless your slaves' old mother and brothers to be safe at home..."

After praying, Pang Xi respectfully kowtowed three times to God Master Gaozu before shaking his clothes and getting up.Then, holding the lantern and closing the palace door, Pang Xi's figure disappeared into the night after a sound of footsteps from near to far.

As soon as he walked forward, it took only about half a quarter of an hour. In the darkness, the curtain beside the side pillar of the main hall was gently lifted by a hand as white as jade.

Wearing a green shirt, the style looks like a Taoist robe, but it doesn't look like it. It is wrapped around a slender and thin body. Judging from the exquisite and translucent appearance, it is obviously a woman.

In the dark hall, only the moonlight came in through the window lattice.The woman's face was hidden in the dark because the light couldn't reach it, so she couldn't see clearly.

She stepped on green cloth and silk boots, stepped on the gold bricks in the hall, took one step, two steps, three steps... If she hadn't seen the movement of the figure, she would never have heard a sound, obviously she is a person with outstanding lightness kung fu.

The woman flashed out from behind the curtain, moved in front of the gods in the temple, and stopped in her tracks.

Tai | Zu, Gao Zu, Wu Zong, Ren Zong...

She followed one tablet after another and looked at the portraits. Although the expression on her face was unclear, there was a flash of crystal light in her eyes, revealing her emotions at the moment.

Swimming back and forth, the woman's eyes finally fell on the God Lord of Emperor Gaozu, and she couldn't help being shocked.

She first watched from a distance, then her heart seemed to move, she took two steps forward, but for some reason, she stopped suddenly——

She seemed timid due to closeness to her hometown, and seemed hesitant; after a long hesitation, the woman finally took big steps and came to the portrait of Gaozu.

The portrait of Gaozu still looks like the day, especially the face, which is full of heroism, and the heroic style is radiated from the inside out.

The woman's eyes wandered over the face of Emperor Gaozu...

Just at this time, a bright white moonlight will be cast on Gao Zu's portrait, reflecting her appearance particularly vividly.

In the bright and white moonlight, Emperor Gaozu Yu Wenning's silver armor and red robe, with blue hair flying, seemed to be in a fairyland, not like in the world——

The body of the woman who was staring at the portrait suddenly trembled, and even let out an uncontrollable sob, which was particularly abrupt in the dark and quiet hall.

She took a deep breath.With her martial arts cultivation, she actually needed this to forcefully suppress the grief in her heart.

The mood eased a bit, she didn't dare to stare at the face of Emperor Gaozu anymore, but shifted her eyes to the lower part of the portrait.

There, Emperor Gaozu was holding a pair of shiny silver guns in his hands.

The woman looked at it, and her snow-colored palm couldn't help clenching the tie on the chest of the green robe.

It was the strap of the gun pouch on her back.

Lying quietly in the gun pocket are the pair of silver guns that accompanied Emperor Gaozu on the battlefield.

I don't know how long she stared blankly like this, the woman suddenly chuckled and lost her voice, she murmured, but there was no hint of a smile in her tone.

"After so many years, you have become a god..."

She sighed and turned her head to look at the futon in front of the incense table, where Pang Xi's pious figure still seemed to remain.

Just now the person dressed as an inner eunuch bowed down and prayed so devoutly.Doesn't it look like bowing down to the former owner of this forbidden palace?It's like kneeling down to worship the gods and Buddhas in the temple.

"They respect you and worship you like a god... But, what did you do back then?"

The woman whispered to herself, and when she said this, her tone suddenly dimmed——

"And what did I... do?"

Thinking about the past, the woman's heart surged uncontrollably.She didn't know whether she hated others or herself, she clenched her palms in hatred, and quickly dug her fingertips into the white palms, and the palms were bloody and bloody in the blink of an eye.

Time flows, the sun and the moon travel, and do not stay or change according to anyone's will.I don't know how long it took, the moonlight turned around the corner of the hall, and the portrait of Emperor Gaozu on the wall of the hall returned to the darkness, and the hall was already empty.

Kuntai Palace.

Yun Rui was exhausted from tossing, and many things happened during the day, no matter how energetic a child was, she couldn't resist the attack of sleepiness. She finally hugged Jing Yan's arm tightly, smelling the breath on Jing Yan, and gradually Calm down, and your breathing will slow down.

She fell asleep.

Jing Yan hugged her gently, and the breath from the body of the person in his arms exuded from the end of his nose.It is a kind of milk-sweet fragrance that belongs to children only.This taste made Jing Yan instantly think of her favorite sweets, and she couldn't help but put a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Fearing that Yun Rui would catch a cold in the cold night, Jing Yan hastily pulled the brocade quilt over Yun Rui's small body.

Yun Rui felt the warmth in her sleep, she closed her eyes and gave a soft snort of satisfaction, then smacked her lips, feeling that it wasn't enough, so she used her hands and feet in a daze, and clung to Jing Yan's body with her whole body.

Jing Yan had no choice but to caress his forehead——

With such a thick brocade quilt, the child still has to hold him like this, wouldn't he feel hot?

In the hour just passed, Jing Yan really realized what it means to "raise a child is not easy".

She has been very close to her elder brother Jing Heng since she was a child, although the two were not born of the same mother, when it comes to the depth of their relationship, they are not inferior to compatriots with the same mother.

Jing Heng has always been close to her, even after Jing Yan got married and entered Tian's family, the two rarely saw each other, but when they met and were alone, Jing Heng still didn't see her outside as before.For example, he would moan and complain to his sister about "how difficult it is to feed a child".

Jing Yan always laughed off such topics. She didn't think children were so difficult to get along with, so what's so difficult about touching them with affection and teaching them with courtesy?Elder brother just spoiled Yue'er too much, that's why he said that.

Every time he was teased by his own sister, Jing Heng would always take it for granted: "When Yan'er and His Majesty give birth to Lin'er, you will understand how you feel as a brother."

Jing Yan was ashamed when he heard this, but he still didn't take it seriously in his heart.

until tonight...

She has learned the power of children.

She stared at Yunrui's peaceful sleeping face, her small face was flushed red from the heat, revealing a healthy and lovely look.

Such a child, so young, and so many things he doesn't understand, is clearly the most vulnerable existence in this world; however, the lethality is so great——

She will stare at you with the cleanest and purest eyes, but what she asks may be the most difficult question in the world.

I was obviously dumbfounded by the question, and even slightly angry because of her constant pestering, but the moment I saw those piercing eyes, all the unhappiness disappeared, so I had to put up a hundred times more energy Deal with her overwhelming problems.

For example, she would ask herself: What is a loved one?

If it wasn't for being tired and falling asleep, Jing Yan really didn't know how he would deal with the strange problems of this little child.

Beloved?

Naturally, it was the person I loved forever!

Even if the world is far away, even if the yin and yang are separated, I still love and miss that person, I can't forget it, and I can't bear to forget that person...

Jing Yan felt a pain in his heart——

Her beloved will be buried tomorrow...tomorrow.

Big burial means the most beautiful body in my eyes, the person who always occupies my body and mind, just like this forever and ever lies in that extremely gorgeous and exquisitely decorated body, but is colder and more lonely than ice and snow. in the coffin.

From now on, she will never see him again, and only when she can put down everything and follow him at ease, can she see him again...

If possible, Jing Yan would rather her Zhe has been lying in the dark room of the snow cave deep underground.At least, that way, she could see him all the time.If you don't need it, you can only turn everything into a bone-chewing thought; if you don't need it, you can only see his appearance in Fengxian Hall from now on.

However, in that case, the Empress Dowager would definitely not agree, and neither would the courtiers and clan.

The so-called "put in the soil and be safe" is like this.

To be buried in the Dingling Mausoleum in a glorious manner is the natural destination of Emperor Daxing in the eyes of the world.

However, that was the destination of Daxing Emperor Yu Wenzhe, but it was not the destination that Yu Wenzhe of Jing Yan should be.

Jing Yan's heart softened into a puddle of water, but it was also a ball of pain.

Thinking, thinking, and thinking, I don't know when, tears are streaming down my face.
