Fingers of crossing

The night is bleak, and the long night freezes like water.

The evening wind blows coldly, and the silhouettes of tree branches in the silent night are like ghosts, revealing a posture of barking their teeth and claws. There is a silent oppression from inside and outside the Jongmyo Temple, and all the brilliance in the night sky fades away and hides without a trace.

The night was bleak, the raging wind rustled the treetops, Jiang Ning was drunk under the watchful eye of the guards, kneeling impartially in front of the ancestral temple, the wind blew her wide sleeves and danced in the air, her body was wrapped in In the crimson clothes, she looked even weaker and thinner.

After all, it is a place to enshrine the spiritual tablets of the royal ancestors. The inside and outside of the ancestral temple showed a sense of solemnity. At night, this solemn atmosphere became more and more dull, and there was a dead silence all around, which made people breathless.Palace lanterns were hung on both sides of the road outside the Jongmyo Temple, swaying in the cold wind, the dim yellow light flickering with the wind.Jiang Ningzui looked at it, and in a trance, she felt that this scene was very much like the lonely and cold soul-inducing lamp on the Huangquan Road in the legend.

The air probably froze with the cold air of early spring. Jiang Ningzui was so cold that she lost all sensation in her hands and feet, and all her senses seemed to be numb. She had never felt such unbearable pain and torture.

The stove was no longer effective, so Qingfu bent over and straightened the cloak on Jiang Ningzui's shoulders, trying to wrap it tightly so that Jiang Ningzui would not suffer from the cold.But this is just in vain.

"Your Majesty." Qingfu's lips opened and closed for a long time before she whispered, "Why are you so angry with the Eldest Princess? As long as the Empress speaks, the Eldest Princess will definitely make the decision for the Empress. Why does the Empress torture herself like this?"

Why bother?

Jiang Ningzui's whole body was cold, and she didn't have much strength to speak. She just felt as if she was in an ice cellar, shivering from the cold.Her mind was in a daze, and she just didn't answer Qing Fu's words.After all, who would know what she was hiding in her heart?

Yan Yilan's help, for her now, is a salvation more terrifying than death.

The blackness in front of her eyes made Jiang Ningzui have a splitting headache, and she realized that she was still thinking about Yan Yilan at this moment, so she slowly closed her eyes, refusing to think about it.

The time seemed to be endless, and Qingfu looked at Jiang Ningzui, her face paled for a while, and she was very anxious.It's just that no matter how impatient she is, no one dares to disobey the order given by the crown prince, so she can only stand with Jiang Ningzui, helpless.

"The eldest princess is here!"

In the silent night, the announcement and the sound of footsteps were so clear, Qingfu turned her head to face the sound, and saw Yan Yilan stepping out of the phoenix chariot under the steps of the ancestral temple, walking hurriedly.Her bright red shawl fluttered with the wind, and her whole body was immersed in the cold night, exuding a dangerous aura that was three feet frozen.

Qingfu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yan Yilan. She knelt down along with the guards and bowed, "See you, Eldest Princess."

Amidst the sound of worship, everyone followed Yan Yilan's arrival and greeted her. Only Jiang Ningzui did not move, her body was still facing the ancestral temple, and she refused to even give Yan Yilan a look. Did not notice any movement.

"Let's all go back."

Yan Yilan's eyes fell on Jiang Ningzui's silent and stubborn back from beginning to end, she waved her hands coldly, signaling everyone to back down.

The guards were originally ordered by Yan Junyao to guard the place, but now that they saw Yan Yilan coming in person, they probably understood in their hearts.No one in the palace knew about the relationship between Yan Yilan and Jiang Ningzui, so no one dared to ask too much, they all nodded in agreement, and followed their words.

The ancestral temple returned to silence again, so quiet that Jiang Ningzui could hear Yan Yilan's footsteps walking towards her step by step.Her heart slowly tensed into a string, and the sound of Yan Yilan's footsteps seemed to be pressing on that string every time. When it was tense, Jiang Ningzui could feel the numb tremor in her heart, pulling the slightest Ripples of pain.

Jiang Ningzui's cold eyebrows drooped at this moment, she looked at the blue-gray stone road in front of her, and said nothing.

"stand up."

Yan Yilan's voice couldn't tell the truth, she didn't even have any emotion in it, she stood beside Jiang Ningzui, looked down at Jiang Ningzui's weak appearance like a candle in the wind, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, congealed cold light.

Jiang Ningzui lowered her eyebrows slightly, as if she had never heard of it, she was still kneeling straight, with an indifferent expression, revealing a slight gesture of rejection.

Jiang Ningzui's attitude remained unchanged, the bright moonlight fell on her indifferent side face, and all the brilliance seemed to be frozen.Yan Yilan looked deeply at Jiang Ningzui, and suddenly felt helpless and ridiculed. Before, she always felt that she had thousands of ways to deal with Jiang Ningzui, but at this moment she couldn't think of even one.

"The prince's tricks are not very clever, even Chi Zhu's acting skills are not superb, Ningzu, how could you not notice it?"

Jiang Ningzui held on to the last bit of strength, she silently lowered her eyes, and said softly: "From the beginning, I felt that it was fake out of ten."

Yan Yilan was slightly taken aback, "Since you know, why are you still not defending yourself?"

Under the moonlight, Jiang Ningzui's eyes slowly lifted up, and the radiant eyes were full of color, shining with a quiet light.She just looked at Yan Yilan calmly, and said indifferently: "But, what if one point is true?"

Her chest seemed to be blocked by something suddenly. Jiang Ningzui's calm eyes looked straight into Yan Yilan's heart. She was used to her indifferent appearance in the past, but now suddenly seeing her so calm and calm, Yan Yilan On the contrary, I was a little at a loss.

"stand up."

Different from the cold tone of the initial order, Yan Yilan's words were very light, and there was faint pampering and helplessness inside.As she spoke, she bent down to pull Jiang Ningzui up, but Jiang Ningzui didn't move. She withdrew her gaze from Yan Yilan, still kneeling expressionlessly.

"Did the eldest princess forget the prince's order?" Jiang Ningzui's voice was flat, revealing the weakness of trying to bear, "The eldest princess really doesn't have to go to war with the prince again for me."

Hearing Jiang Ningzui's words, Yan Yilan felt depressed for no reason. She grabbed Jiang Ningzui's wrist and exerted all her strength. Stand up with strength.

There was a tearing pain in her shoulder, Yan Yilan frowned slightly, but she didn't let go of Jiang Ningzui, instead she took her body into her arms so that she wouldn't stand still and fall to the ground.

Probably because she knelt on her knees for too long and stood up abruptly, Jiang Ningzui felt her feet were limp and weak. She tried to stand up straight several times, but gave up because of the pain from her knees.She supported Yan Yilan's wrist with both hands to stand firm, and her eyes fell on the ground. She was so close to Yan Yilan, but her eyes seemed to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.

"Okay, now you know all about my wishful thinking." Jiang Ningzui opened her mouth very lightly, and as she spoke, her eyes, which were always calm in the past, lifted up, as if reflecting the lake surface full of stars. , Ambilight.She looked at Yan Yilan and smiled lightly, revealing endless self-mockery: "You can laugh at me as much as you like, just like you used to."

In the past, every time Yan Yilan met her, she always made fun of her.

Thinking about it now, what Yan Yilan said is indeed true, she is really stupid.

If not, how could she offer her sincerity so easily, regardless of giving and giving in return, even if she was injured all over her body.

Yan Yilan's heart cracked slowly, giving birth to a bitter pain that had not been seen for a long time. Something surged out of her heart, burning Yan Yilan's heart as if it was being tightened, and the pain was unstoppable.She looked at Jiang Ningzui in silence, her playful and coquettish expression gradually dissipated, and her eyes gradually became deep and complicated.

Jiang Ningzui has always been a quiet person, but now Yan Yilan's silence actually made her feel ashamed. She barely stood firm, trying to push away Yan Yilan's support with both hands. For the first time, I had the idea of ​​wanting to run away.

Just about to break out of Yan Yilan's embrace, it was a pity that Yan Yilan suddenly bound her in her arms, making it impossible for her to escape.The arms around her were getting tighter and tighter. Jiang Ningzui raised her head and wanted to order Yan Yilan to let go, but her eyes suddenly went dark. She saw Yan Yilan leaning over, covering her in a shadow, and opened her eyes. Her lips hadn't had time to utter a single word, but they were already wrapped in a burst of warmth.

Yan Yilan's aura came overwhelmingly, Jiang Ningzui's mind was buzzing, her eyes were filled with Yan Yilan's charming face in astonishment, her trembling lips were deeply kissed by Yan Yilan, the unfamiliar It felt like a lightning strike, and her whole body trembled slightly with the numbness.

The momentum of Yan Yilan kissing Jiang Ningzui was so domineering and powerful, but the movement of kissing her was so gentle to the smallest detail, her lips and teeth blended together, Jiang Ningzui was lost in Yan Yilan's breath, only feeling the pain all over her body. Perception is controlled in this kiss.

Consciousness gradually began to slacken, and Jiang Ningzui weakly grabbed Yan Yilan's sleeve so that she would not fall limp to the ground.At the last moment of memory, Jiang Ningzui vaguely heard Yan Yilan whispering wryly in her ear, her voice full of helplessness and entanglement.

"Ning Zui, who are you?"

Jiang Ningzui seldom dreams, because she has never been able to sleep peacefully since she traveled through time.

This time she felt that she had slept for a long time, so she had a long, long dream.She dreamed that she was wearing an armored military uniform, standing on a high place, and there were thousands of soldiers neatly lined up under her. On the hilltop that was sinking at dusk, her long hair was flying wildly, and her cheeks were dyed golden yellow by the sunset sun. When someone called her behind her, she subconsciously looked back.

Yan Yilan was standing behind her, still with a playful and lazy smile on her face, but not as cold and heartless as she is now, with red clothes and black hair, and a charming figure, even thousands of peach blossoms can't match the beauty in her eyes. That smug smile seemed to make her feel quiet and gentle just by looking at her smiling.

Everything in the dream was as real and beautiful as if she had experienced it personally, and the clear pictures were vividly visible in her mind. In an instant, she couldn't tell who she was and where she was.

When she woke up again, Jiang Ningzui was dizzy for a while, her eyes turned dry, and she realized that she was not lying in her bedroom.She closed her eyes weakly, opened her hazy vision and scanned the surroundings carefully, and recognized that she was lying in Yan Yilan's Fengyi Palace.

"Your Majesty is awake?"

Seeing Jiang Ningzui opened her eyes, Qingfu came forward overjoyed, and said with concern: "Your Majesty has slept deeply, she has been asleep for a whole day and night."

Jiang Ningzui wanted to sit up, but unfortunately she didn't have any strength in her body. She didn't try to move any more, but asked, "What's going on?"

"The imperial doctor said that the empress caught a cold after falling into the water, and she had a high fever after kneeling outside the ancestral temple for so long. The empress has been unconscious since she came out of the ancestral temple. It's all right."

Sitting up slowly with Qingfu's support, Jiang Ningzui's voice was as steady as usual, but it was unavoidably weak after illness: "You are here alone?"

"The eldest princess is afraid that there will be too many noises, disturbing the rest of the empress, so she only ordered the servants to guard the empress alone."

When she heard Yan Yilan's name for the first time, Jiang Ningzui was taken aback, her memory flashed back, she remembered the kiss that was caught off guard that night, her palms trembled slightly, and she felt a little at a loss.

After calming down, Jiang Ningzui quietly concealed the emotions in her heart and asked, "Where is the eldest princess?"

"I don't know." Qing Fu said, and said: "The eldest princess only tells the servants, if the empress wakes up, she will take care of the empress to recuperate in Fengyi Palace. She is in charge of everything, and the empress will not be wronged in vain. "

Jiang Ningzui listened silently, but in her heart she heard the meaning behind Yan Yilan's words. She frowned slightly, as if she could smell the bloody aura from these words.

Yan Yilan, what do you want to do?
