Zhehua

The dream is a forest, ancient and remote, a forest that lives in the human realm, with a bright moon in the sky, spring branches by the stream, gurgling spring water, and the pleasant ding-dong sound on the stones, the beasts that have lived here since ancient times They frolic happily in the meantime.

There are rustling footsteps in my ears, I am walking deeper and deeper in this woods.

The ivy hangs down the vines, covering the vision, the mist curls up from the ground, and the golden phoenix feather emits a faint golden light in the night, driving away the surrounding mist.

"Who is it?" The girl under the moon was dressed in a clear radiance, and looked towards this side vigilantly.Her delicate face was still green, she was wearing silver armor, and her shoulders were stained red by a large amount of blood. She was panting slightly, like a vicious little beast.

In the blink of an eye, the screen changed, and the wounded girl and the queen who had killed millions of enemies on the battlefield overlapped with each other.

The next moment, it was Yin Taki's eyes, misty and sad, and kissed him lightly with deep sadness.

The forceful, desperate kiss knocked on the lake of my heart, pecking away the thin ice, causing bursts of sourness. I was at a loss and didn't know how to respond.

Yin Taki's heart is as deserted as Xinghui, beautiful and distant.

During the thousands of days and nights that seemed to me like a disaster, she held me in her arms and talked about what she insisted on telling me, endlessly.

And what she really wanted to say, but never said.

I heard an ethereal voice, as if separated by a long time and space, it seemed to sound from the sky, and it seemed to sound from my heart, that cold voice, gentle and fragile, narrated the words she wanted to express.

"It's a good thing you're still here," she said.

With the arrival of morning, the dream gradually faded away.

When the sky first revealed white light, Yin Taki had already got up, maybe she was afraid of disturbing me, so she didn't let the servants serve her, she put on her fine clothes and pushed the door out.

After she left, I opened my eyes lightly, a trace of complexity welled up in my heart.

Yin Taki's departure seemed to take away all the warmth in the room.

I was alone in the room, and I felt that everything had lost its vitality. I began to feel cold, trembling uncontrollably, cold, cold from the heart, cold to the bone marrow, and even my hands and feet were so cold. .

"Bingxiang..." I took a deep breath, and with trembling lips and teeth, I called out to Bingxiao outside the house.

"Your Highness." Hearing the voice, Bingxiao opened the door and came in, bowing her head and waiting for the order.

"Go, get the stove, make the fire hotter." Wrapped tightly in the brocade quilt, I spoke while suppressing the chill.

"Your Highness, it's only just autumn now." Bingxiao also sensed something was wrong when she heard this, she frowned and looked inwardly.

"Go and get some stoves, I feel cold." I spoke again, and Bingxiao didn't say anything more after hearing that, nodded and turned and went out the door.

After a while, a maidservant came over to make arrangements, the fire was lit up, and the room was suddenly illuminated and warm.

Bingxiao came over afterward, and she went to the side room to fetch a hand warmer for me.

"I thought that these things would only be used in winter, but the people who took care of them kept packing them up and put them down. I didn't expect His Highness to suddenly be afraid of the cold, and now they come in handy."

I didn't say much when I heard the words, I raised my hand to take the hand warmer from Bingxiao, and pressed my cheeks against it, trying to draw more warmth from it.

"Why is Your Highness so afraid of the cold all of a sudden?" Bingxiao was puzzled, and she asked with a serious expression at the moment.

"I don't know." I replied in a low voice, my voice was weak.

"My maidservant, invite the king to come here." Bingxiao said and turned around to leave.

"No need..." I stopped her in a low voice: "Don't call Yin Taki, I'm fine."

"Then... Let the maidservant go and ask the imperial doctor to come and have a look." Bingxiao thought about it, and then spoke again.

"Yeah." I nodded softly, which was my approval.

The moment the ice cream closed the door and came out, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped a lot. I looked at the exuberant fire burning in front of me, and raised my hand to wrap the brocade quilt tightly around my body, but it was still cold.But not as serious as before.

Bingxiao wanted to invite Yintaki, but I stopped her.But even if he didn't tell Yin Taki now, he would still know when Yin Taki came back at noon.

But I still don't want her to come here now, I don't want to be linked to her in every detail.

The kiss in the apse last night came to my mind again. I don't want to face her now, and I don't know how to face her.

In the past, Yin Taki imprisoned me, as if I was her property, she always had a good grasp of my affairs, and she would often come to hold my hand, or when sleeping together in the middle of the night, take me in my arms.

I don't know what kind of feelings Yin Taki has for me, I don't even dare to be confident that Yin Taki has feelings for me.

I thought it was just like what she said, she loves the beauty of the phoenix, and the phoenix that can summon auspicious phoenixes pleases the Queen, so I was obsessed with imprisoning me in the Chuiming Palace, where I was carefully kept for Princess Xuanyu. In the gorgeous cage that was built.

But the sadness in her eyes when she looked at me, the tenderness when she kissed me.

But I have to believe that Yin Taki's feelings for me are not limited to this.

She raped me and made me lose ten years of freedom. My people came to look for me and sacrificed their lives because of this. I should hate her.She is bloodthirsty, warlike and moody, and I should do my best to stay away from her and escape from her cage.

But at the last moment, I chose to trust her, that Yin Taki could give me the greatest security, and that she would not hurt me.

My heart was in chaos, and I didn't know how to deal with Yin Taki.

Silver Taki....

In my thoughts, Bingxiao had already brought the imperial physician over. The person who came was an old man with a kind face. I was still lazy in the bed, clutching the stove and refraining from moving too much. The curtain on the ceiling was lowered, and I just stretched out my wrist for the imperial doctor to feel the pulse.

"Your Highness is fine. It may be that the Chuiming Palace caught fire last night. His Highness was frightened and a little cold." After saying that, he turned around and spread the paper inkstone on the bank, and at the same time told Bingxiao: "This old man opened a few flavors for nourishment. The medicinal materials are coming, the girl will take care of them, remember to bring them to His Highness on time."

"Bingxiao remembered." Bingxiao responded on the side, and I listened behind the curtain, my whole body became more and more tired, and a feeling of laziness surged up, I withdrew my hand and pressed tightly against the stove.Perhaps it was because of the return of the ice cream that the house became popular for a while, and I felt that the temperature in the air had risen a lot.

After sending the imperial physician out, Bingxiao also wanted to turn around and go out, but I stayed behind.

"Just stay in the room." I said softly. While speaking, a burst of fatigue hit me, and I lost all strength. I told Bingxiao: "Stay closer, I'm afraid of the cold."

"Your Highness..." Bingxiao's figure approached me a little bit, but the voice of calling in my ears was getting farther and farther away.I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

This sleep was extremely deep, dreamless, and when it was approaching, I heard a cold voice in my ear asking about something to the left and right.

When she talks to others, she is never startled or angry, calm and serious.

"My lord, your Highness's situation doesn't look as optimistic as the imperial physician said." The voice was ice-cold, and she spoke eagerly, not as emotionless as she usually looked.

"How long have you been sleeping tomorrow?" I heard Yin Taki asking her.

"It's about two hours. Your Highness said that she is afraid of the cold and wants me to stay by her side all the time." Bingxiao replied, with genuine urgency in her words: "However, it's just the beginning of autumn, and Your Highness will be so cold. In this way, when I went to get the hand stove, I asked the maids who were in charge of His Highness's daily life, and they said that His Highness has never been like this before."

"I see." Yin Taki replied like this, and ordered: "You all step back first, the imperial doctor can't take good care of her illness."

"Yes..." After Bingxiao exited the door, Yintaki reached out and stroked my forehead.On weekdays, she always makes me feel cold, and when I am held in her arms, it is even cold for a while.The palm of my hand caressing my forehead at this moment is extremely warm, my eyebrows are slightly furrowed, and I opened my eyes.

"Ming'er, what did you dream about?" A faint smile appeared on her lips, her eyes were full of tenderness and indulgence, she looked down at me, as if she was asking morning.

It's just that I don't care much about her at ordinary times. I seldom talked to Yin Taki before, but she never cared. She would just guess without answering the questions, and after guessing, she would tell her all the things she dreamed about. I.If there is not enough time in the morning for her to talk, she will continue to talk after she comes back in the evening.

I raised my eyes, gave her a deep look, and then looked away.

"you."

"It's time to dream of me. I'm always the only one dreaming of you. It's frustrating." As she said this, she gently pressed her palm against my cheek.

"Since you dreamed of me tomorrow, it must be a good dream. Why don't you tell me about it tomorrow."

I lightly closed my eyes, with a smile on my lips, and said: "I lied to you, I didn't dream of anything."

It was only when the voice came out that I realized that I was so weak that I was as weak as a breath.

Yin Taki obviously noticed it too, and I saw the deep thinking in her brows and eyes.

But she still looked at me tenderly, smiled lowly, and her words were full of doting, she said: "Then I will write it down, I owe me a dream tomorrow, and I will make it up later."

I smiled, noncommittal.

It's just that in a flash, my mind fell into chaos again, and there were frequent buzzing sounds in my ears, which disturbed people's mind.

The scene in front of him was covered with a layer of mist, and gradually became blurred.

Cold, bone-chilling cold, born from the heart.

"Why did you come here?"

The girl's clear voice drove away the fog, and the field of vision suddenly became clear.Yin Taki was standing in front of me, she was only sixteen or seventeen years old at that time.A pair of eyes were as black as ink, and her fair face was still tinged with greenness. Her brows and eyes were just opened, and she could already see a bit of charming beauty.

"Are you afraid?" She raised her voice suddenly, as if she had discovered something interesting, she moved closer, her eyes that were as bright as stars couldn't hide her interest, she smiled viciously: "Listen Speaking of which, there are many ferocious beasts here, and they especially like to eat golden things."

After saying that, she leaned back a little, and I saw clearly just now that she was wearing a silver-white armor with several damages and gaps, and there were dark red blood stains on her shoulder blades. Already experienced the wolf smoke battlefield?

I was suspicious, but I saw Yin Taki looking over in a panic, looking at a loss, I heard her speak, a little anxious, she said: "Don't cry, I can't see that a little girl like you shed tears."

Yin Taki, who said this, was still a little girl herself. I was a little amused, but I saw that she spoke with a serious face, and her black eyes were like flowing water reflected by cold springs, shining brightly and scorchingly.

"If you are afraid, just hold me. I will protect you."

I have never seen such Yin Taki, pure, carefree, bright, she has faded away from the hostility and the lingering sadness that always haunts her, she is so charming, I can't take my eyes off for a while.

Suddenly, the scene in front of me changed again, the flames engulfed the sky, and a beautiful but mournful cry rang in my ears.It was Yin Taki, she came running with a sword in her hand, half of her dress was stained red with blood, and her black hair was flaring in the flames. I saw her usually cold face full of despair.

I suddenly recalled that night, Yin Taki hugged me from behind, she said in my ear.

"I hate you."

"Mingshu!" Yin Taki's voice came, and in a trance, what caught his eyes was that cold and misty eyes like ice and snow, but in the depths, burning karmic fire, burning everything, leaving only the long-term eyes. The long obscurity.Yin Takixiu's long eyebrows were deeply frowned, her face was full of anxiety, I saw beads of sweat dripping from her forehead due to nervousness.

Seeing me wake up, she breathed a sigh of relief just now, raised her hand to caress the top of my hair, as if facing herself or me, and said comfortingly: "Just wake up."

After saying that, she slowly took my hand and said softly: "My dear boy, you've slept enough today, don't sleep any more."
