Fingers of crossing

The wind picked up suddenly, and I don't know who's words were blown away. In an instant, things changed and stars moved, and time passed. Layers of veils were like mist, and the wind moved like a pool of light smoke.

Perception is always in the double sky of ice and fire, and in the pain that is about to split, Yan Yilan only hears a cold female voice whispering in her ear: "Since I gave myself to the eldest princess, the eldest princess is naturally obliged to carry it with me." ,Safekeeping."

The lingering sound is shallow, as close as the eyes but always out of reach, the wind outside the window melts in the ears and heart when it blows slightly.

Yan Yilan opened her eyes in a daze, and as far as she could see, the curtains rippled like the ripples of a lake. Between the blurs, there seemed to be a figure looming behind the curtains. She subconsciously raised her hand and stretched out to that place. After passing through the past, I don't know what I want to catch.

"Your Highness is awake?!"

Biyuan's voice suddenly sounded above her head, and Yan Yilan's consciousness suddenly came to her senses. She could no longer remember the scene in her dream clearly, only her heart was filled with a deep sense of loss, and the confusion of wanting to keep something could not last for a long time. relieved.

The cold voice that lingered in the dream still echoed in her ears, Yan Yilan did not answer, her raised hand suddenly fell, and it was placed horizontally in front of her eyes, trying to cover the dazzling light from the flickering palace lanterns, she first For the first time, I felt that the palace was terribly silent, as if hiding a demon that could devour people's hearts.This feeling is just like the night when she learned of Jiang Shuying's death, she also sat in the palace like this, like an old man in her twilight years, her heart is like a dead tree, without any waves.

The news of Yan Yilan's awakening soon spread throughout the palace, and the imperial physicians who were waiting outside the palace rushed in, filling the inner hall in an instant.

"Where's the prince?"

Signaling the imperial doctors to step aside, Yan Yilan wanted to sit up, but found that she had no strength in her body. When she moved a little, the wound on her shoulder and back immediately felt burning pain. She didn't try to move again. Much worse than expected.

The imperial physicians looked at each other, and no one dared to answer. Finally, Bi Yuan saluted and replied, "Return to Your Highness, the prince is handling government affairs in Mingde Palace."

The corner of the corner swept past Biyuan beside the bed, Yan Yilan bent her mouth weakly, a cold light was hidden in her long and narrow phoenix eyes, and she said: "Do you want to hide this from me?"

Hearing Yan Yilan's words, Bi Yuan fell to her knees on the ground with a plop, but she was not afraid of Yan Yilan's blame, her face was full of worry at this moment. "Now that there is a prince in charge of the country, His Highness does not need to worry. I hope His Highness will take a good rest, otherwise..."

"Otherwise?" The breathing from her chest and lungs was slow and heavy, and Yan Yilan murmured Bi Yuan's words that were hesitant to speak, her pale lips slightly raised, and she asked, "Otherwise what?"

Biyuan naturally refused to say the following words, she bit her lips stubbornly, kowtowed to Yan Yilan as a big salute, and said: "Your Majesty is bold, I implore Your Highness to take care of the phoenix body first."

Although Biyuan kept her mouth shut, Yan Yilan vaguely guessed something, she coughed softly, and closed her eyes tiredly, "In her whole life, she only made one request to Ben Gong, but Ben Gong still lost her."

The crouching body trembled suddenly, Bi Yuan didn't know how to answer, she couldn't help thinking sadly, sometimes, when people live in this world, seeing too clearly is actually not a good thing.As it is now, she really hopes that her master can't see clearly. In this way, she can also avoid the scars all over her body and the sadness of this life.

Thinking about it, Biyuan raised her head, and finally chose to tell the truth word by word: "There was news from outside the palace that there was a fire in the general's mansion the night before yesterday, although the fire had been extinguished, but the princess..."

Bi Yuan still remembered the scene when the body of the Crown Princess was carried back to the palace, it was no longer a complete corpse, her whole body was scorched black, beyond recognition, only a golden phoenix hairpin was wrapped in her scorched hair , Not afraid of being devoured by the fire, shining brightly.

Opening her eyes abruptly, Yan Yilan's eyes gradually became frosty, she smiled, her heart was both clear and empty.

"Go, call the prince."

At the dawn of the early sun, countless dazzling red lights emerged from the clouds, and the bells rang, accompanied by the brilliance of the sky, spreading far away, heavy and long, passing through the courtyard of the Zhumen, bypassing the red-painted iron pillars, and echoing on the top of the mountain , The entire capital was filled with a deadly and dignified atmosphere, hearing the sound of the bell from the palace, the people whispered to each other, all saying the same thing.

Dayan's concubine died.

Obituaries were plastered all over the streets and alleys, and the whole country mourned.

On the day of the funeral, passers-by on both sides of the road watched curiously. The guard of honor set off from the imperial palace, passed the city gate all the way, went to the official road, and went to the royal cemetery on the outskirts of the city. down the long street.

On the city tower, Mrs. Zhen stopped and stood. She watched the funeral procession leave the capital and went to the suburbs from a distance, and felt even more desolate and sad, the brocade handkerchief in her hand was already soaked through.King Wu did not know when he came to her side, stood shoulder to shoulder with her, his eyes fell on the pale street, he said: "The princess is buried, why didn't the madam send her a ride?"

Wiping her tears with a handkerchief, Zhen's eyes were red, and she endured grief and said: "Such a scene always reminds me of the sparse shadows of that day. I won't give them away, but I can't keep any of them. "

Seemingly affected by Zhen's sorrow, King Wu said with a look of unbearable expression: "I hope Madam mourns."

Zhen shook her head again and again, there was a gust of wind, and the paper money on the ground rolled down with the wind, she said: "Ning'er has been weak and sick since she was a child, and she has a good and docile temperament. At the beginning, the general and I were reluctant to send her into the palace, but she refused... With a choked voice, two lines of tears fell from Zhen's eyes, "I pray for her every day by chanting scriptures, hoping that she will be safe forever. It's a pity...it's a pity that everything is fate, and I can't force it."

The King of Wu comforted him and said: "Being a concubine in the palace is also a blessing for her, Madam don't have to blame herself too much."

Zhen remained silent for a long time before she lamented: "The general has been a soldier all his life, fighting everywhere for the sake of the country of Yan. Four years ago in the battle between Yan and Sui, Shuying contributed a lot. He gave up his life for the sake of Yan. So did Ning'er." ..." At this point, Zhen could not cry anymore, she pressed her chest, suppressing the soreness of her throat, and sobbed blood. "And now, what did the general and I do wrong to end up in such a miserable end?"

King Wu supported Zhen Shi's crumbling body, and said in a deep voice, "Everything is doomed, why should Madam be so sad."

Mrs. Zhen shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know. Ning'er came to my room to look for me on the night of the accident. At that time, I saw her expression and said nothing. I thought she was just tired, so I advised her to go back to the room early to rest. , I didn't expect..." As she spoke, Zhen's heart ached and she couldn't help but choked up, "I think she must have suffered a lot during the days when she was away from me."

King Wu expressed regret and said, "Perhaps the Crown Princess has already expected something."

"What's the meaning of your lord's words?!" Zhen suddenly turned her head to look at King Wu, her body shook like a fallen leaf in the wind, and she was about to fall. "Does the prince know the secret?"

King Wu's expression was calm and obscure. Seeing Zhen's reaction, he said after a long time: "Madam, don't you know?"

From King Wu's words, she could hear the meaning behind the words, and Zhen's tears welled up in her eyes, but they were still in the air. She hurriedly asked: "Please tell the truth, my lord."

The King of Wu also turned to face the Zhen family. His plot was shining with deep light, and he said word by word: "This king also listened to the report of the spies in the palace. The relationship between the prince and the princess is not in harmony. Not long after the wedding, one day the eldest princess broke into the Zhaoling Palace in the middle of the night and did not return all night. Even the crown prince's people were stopped outside the palace by her confidant Bi Yuan. On the second day, the crown princess fell into the water unfortunately , although she escaped a catastrophe afterwards, the prince's attitude towards her has also plummeted..."

As expected, Zhen's face was filled with shock at first when she heard the words, then it turned into doubt, and finally condensed slowly into sadness and hatred. Tears fell from the bottom of his eyes in a daze, hitting the lapel of his chest, causing pain.

"Can you really take what King Wu said?"

King Wu's face was silent, and he said sadly: "This king has always had affection for Shuying. Madam knows it well, and treats the crown princess like a sister. If there is no real evidence, how can you spread rumors?"

Zhen Shi remained silent, she clenched the railing tightly, her scarlet eyes looked at the paper money fluttering in the air, her expression was pale.

"I only hate myself for not being able to stop Shuying, which caused her to be bewitched by the eldest princess. In the end, she ended up as a pawn and was cruelly discarded by the eldest princess on the battlefield. She died so miserably." King Wu said, Heartbroken, he said: "Unexpectedly, today, four years later, this king is also powerless. I just watched the eldest princess get involved with the crown princess, causing the crown princess to die of hatred. It is only my fault that this king does not have enough power to compete with the eldest princess. That's why she was allowed to act recklessly and play with us between applause."

Mrs. Zhen already understood the meaning of King Wu's words, she looked into the distance with a sad expression, and said in a low voice: "I am just a woman, I don't understand these court affairs, and the only thing I miss in my heart is this pair of daughters."

The King of Wu has been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Mrs. Zhen looking back at him, he whispered softly: "However, I will tell the general truthfully about this matter, and everything is still up to the general to decide. Half a month ago, Mr. The princess has ordered the general to return to the capital, and within half a month, the general's troops will arrive in the capital."

Hearing this, King Wu's hawk eyes gradually became darker, and a smile appeared indistinctly.

After getting off the city tower, King Wu left the city stepping on the paper money all over the floor, and walked all the way to the carriage parked on a remote path. The men who followed him saw that there was no one around, so they cautiously opened the sedan chair curtain for him.

King Wu just turned sideways to the carriage, and a cold gaze immediately looked over, King Wu smiled knowingly, and said: "This king has cut off all your escape routes. From today onwards, Jiang Ningzui, you are a dead man gone."

No one will remember you except me.

And you will never come back to her.
