Fingers of crossing

The weather is foggy, and the sight is like black sand covering the face, and everything is hazy.

Carrying the tray, Biyuan walked up to the stone arch bridge in the imperial garden, and saw Yan Yilan in purple from a distance sitting leaning against the stone railing of the nine-curved corridor, occasionally the wind filled with water vapor slowly blowing in the corridor, Blowing her loose sleeves and ribbons, she swept across the water, and the gorgeous shadows in the water also rippled layer by layer, and the whole water surface was as charming as if it was on fire.

Hearing the sound of footsteps behind her, Yan Yilan turned her head slightly to follow the sound, and saw Biyuan put the jug on the table on the table, so she got up and walked over, took the cup by herself, and filled it up for herself a glass of wine.

Taking a sip of the wine silently, Yan Yilan heard Bi Yuan hesitate and said: "Your Highness, Chi Zhu has been waiting outside the hall for a long time, do you want to come in immediately?"

Yan Yilan raised her neck and drank the remaining sake in the cup, covered her face with her wide sleeves, revealing only a pair of ink-like phoenix eyes, narrowing her eyes slightly, Yan Yilan said thoughtfully: "How long have you been kneeling? "

"It will be more than half an hour to return to His Highness."

Hearing this, Yan Yilan put down her wine glass and said coldly, "Tell me."

Bi Yuan nodded and stepped back, not long after, Yan Yilan saw Bi Yuan leading a court lady in light yellow clothes, walking gracefully, through the thick fog, Yan Yilan's vision was not clear, but could be seen vaguely. The person has delicate features, a slender figure, and a regular and elegant gait when walking.

Chi Zhu had already walked into the pavilion in a blink of an eye, and when he saw Yan Yilan, he saluted respectfully, but his lowered gaze tightened involuntarily.

"The servant pays homage to the Eldest Princess."

Letting Chi Zhu kneel down in a saluting posture, Yan Yilan didn't speak, she lazily propped her chin, and looked straight at Chi Zhu until she could not help showing a slight lightness in Chi Zhu's body. Trembling, she chuckled and said, "Are you afraid?"

"The eldest princess is mighty, the servant is just... just..."

There was still a smile on Yan Yilan's mouth, but unfortunately, there was no smile in her eyes. There was a trace of coldness and sarcasm hidden in her pair of unsmiling phoenix eyes. indifferent. "I heard that you have always been close to the princess."

Although he had expected it, but now that he heard Jiang Ningzui's name, Chi Zhu still felt a wave of uneasiness in his heart, and said in a calm voice: "The princess is kind and friendly, and she treats her servants well, and the servants will naturally serve her with all her heart." Said Chi Zhu pondered for a moment with trembling lips, and then said: "However, the servants have been transferred to other places, and they can no longer serve the Crown Princess."

"Okay." Yan Yilan smiled inexplicably. Under Chi Zhu's uneasy eyes, she filled a glass of wine by herself, and drank it slowly with a little thought.

Yan Yilan didn't reveal her attitude at all, Chi Zhu knelt on the ground and looked secretly, but Naihe couldn't figure out Yan Yilan's current thoughts at all, she was hesitating, she heard Yan Yilan jokingly said: "I see you You're a smart guy, why do you keep doing stupid things?"

The clothes on Chi Zhu's back were soaked with cold sweat, she lowered her head again, and said with a forced smile, "I don't understand what the Eldest Princess means."

Yan Yilan smiled without saying a word, she refilled a glass of wine, this time it was not for herself, but handed to Chi Zhu, and said: "The Crown Princess was punished by the Crown Prince a few days ago, and she was punished at the You also know that the elder of the ancestor could not kneel in front of the spiritual throne. Now that she is suffering from the cold, she cannot live without someone to take care of her. Since you are close to her and you were her maid who served her in the future, you will continue to stay in her By your side. This glass of wine is regarded as my respect to you by her."

Chi Zhu's originally plain and elegant face lost all color. If the palace wants to die alone, there are too many methods that can be used.She was thinking, and slowly crawled to Yan Yilan's side, tremblingly stretched out her hand to receive the wine that Yan Yilan handed over, just as her fingertips touched the wall of the glass, the glass of wine slipped from her fingertips, she It was too late to reach out to pick it up, only to hear a crisp bang, and the cup fell to the ground in an instant, and the sake splashed on the blue-gray ground, sprinkling the aroma of the wine all over the floor.

This sound seemed to break the tight string in Chi Zhu's heart, and she kowtowed quickly in a kneeling posture: "Damn this slave, please forgive me, Eldest Princess."

"It's just a broken wine glass, why are you so flustered?" Yan Yilan sneered, took another wine glass and poured herself a drink, her wide sleeves slid down her elbows as she raised her hand, and her clothes followed suit The wind is blowing, and there is indescribable charm and freedom in every gesture.Slightly drunk, Yan Yilan put down the wine glass, her coquettish phoenix eyes were not at all drunk, and there was a clear and cold light hidden in them, she looked at Chi Zhu, got up and said: "You come with me."

Chi Zhu's heart was beating like a drum, she took a few breaths unconsciously, stretched out her hand to caress her chest, maybe she had knelt for too long, when she stood up she staggered a few steps before she was able to stand still, watching Yan Yilan go The figure at the end of the bridge, she gritted her teeth and had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.

Yan Yilan stepped down the steps. She stood still by the lake, squatted halfway and stretched out her hand to scratch the water surface. The rippling water surface scattered her reflection, showing a hideous picture.

Just as Chi Zhu walked over, she saw such a strange scene. She took a step back subconsciously, and just moved her footsteps, not wanting to be caught by Yan Yilan immediately. The princess is drunk."

Yan Yilan smiled charmingly and lazily, tilted her head slightly, and the phoenix hairpin on her head slipped from her black hair and sank into the water with a plop.

Her head was full of black hair flying in the wind, Yan Yilan didn't care, she just waved her hand at Chi Zhu, and said, "Come here, let's do my hair."

Chi Zhu had never seen such a casual and careless Yan Yilan, and thought in her heart that she might be really drunk. Thinking of this, Chi Zhu's heart that had been suspended before was slightly relieved, and she took a deep breath , holding back her fear, walked to Yan Yilan's side, just stood still, Yan Yilan's hand suddenly climbed onto her shoulder, a burst of intoxicating aroma mixed with the smell of wine came, and a lazy laugh sounded in her ear: "Bengong's hairpin accidentally fell into the water, you go and help me get it back."

Chi Zhu reacted quickly, her heart was shocked when she heard the words, and she immediately stepped back, knowing that Yan Yilan's hand on her shoulders made her unable to break free at all, she only had time to see her eyes turned upside down, and when the sky was spinning, the ice-cold Suddenly, the lake water poured into the mouth and nose from all directions, and the eyes were full of blue color, and only the sound of the lake water pouring in could be heard in the ears.Chi Zhu instinctively began to struggle vigorously. Just as she was about to surface, she was about to shout for help, but suddenly the top of her head tightened again, and her face was pressed hard into the cold lake water again. All were swallowed mercilessly by the lake water.

Yan Yilan held Chi Zhu's shoulder alone, making her unable to move. She seemed to have thought of something, she smiled vaguely, and said softly: "This place is much bigger than Quhe Garden, but I don't know if I found a palace maid How long will it take for the dead body?"

As soon as the words "Qu He Yuan" came out, Chi Zhu's heart trembled, and she struggled desperately again. She couldn't see Yan Yilan's face clearly in the astonishment, only the pair of phoenix eyes reflecting the cold water became clearer. The face reflects the spring water of the imperial garden, but it does not have itself alone.

Chi Zhu had lost much strength to struggle, she coughed out a big mouthful of water, and said in a hoarse voice anxiously: "Princess, please spare me, slave... also... is... sent by someone...!"

The strength on her shoulders suddenly loosened, and Chi Zhu hurriedly supported the shore with both hands and lifted her upper body. The air returned to her chest cavity, and Chi Zhu hurriedly gasped for breath. While coughing water, she turned to Yan Yilan beside her, and said: "Princess, please forgive me. This servant knows the truth about the princess falling into the water, and all the plans of the prince are known to this servant!"

"I didn't expect that although the crown prince is extremely stupid, his vision of picking informants is also worthy of admiration." Yan Yilan chuckled, and the laughter was full of ridicule and sarcasm, "How dare you talk to me when you are about to die?" Conditions, just relying on this level of courage, no wonder he dares to attach others, the King of Wu is really good at it."

Hearing this, Chi Zhu raised her head in astonishment. Unwillingly, she wanted to struggle to get up and run away. Unexpectedly, Yan Yilan had expected it, she quickly pressed Chi Zhu's shoulders, and quickly pushed her into the icy cold lake. The purple sleeves were splashed by the lake water, and a large part of the sleeves were wet when they met the water, and the waves were rippling, and the entire water surface was suddenly full of lake brilliance.

Looking indifferently at Chi Zhu's futile struggle underwater, Yan Yilan narrowed her phoenix eyes and said with a smile, "You are indeed damned, but it's still useful to keep it."

Hearing this, Chi Zhu's already drowsy mind suddenly woke up. She vaguely felt that the force pressing her shoulders was removed. Driven by her survival instinct, she tried her best to prop herself up to the surface of the water, breathing heavily.

"Servant... slave is willing...to serve the princess."

Clinging desperately to the stone sculpture on the railing on the bank, Chi Zhu reluctantly knelt down and bowed to Yan Yilan, saying, "I just hope...after this is done, the eldest princess can let my brothers and sisters outside the palace live a life without worrying about food and clothing, Chi Zhu It is not a pity to die."

"He's really a smart man." Yan Yilan chuckled, "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly."

Jiang Ningzui's sleep has always been very shallow, and at midnight, when the surroundings were quiet, she suddenly heard a small sound coming from outside the bedroom, and she woke up immediately.

There was no lamp in the side hall, Jiang Ning got out of bed drunk, followed the sound through the heavy curtains, behind the last layer of curtains, through the moonlight coming in through the window sills, she could clearly see the faint light behind the veils. The figure, even through the curtain, can still be recognized at a glance with that charming figure.

Under the bright moonlight, Yan Yilan stood by the window through the veil, the silvery moonlight shone on her face, still unable to melt the chill and coldness on her body.There was no sadness or joy on her face, only deep exhaustion and tiredness, like a curtain, wrapped one after another.

Jiang Ningzui watched silently for a long time, then she stretched out her hand to part the curtain and came to Yan Yilan's side.

The night wind blew, and the curtain blew past Jiang Ningzui's side, and floated to Yan Yilan's side, she was still standing motionless, such a lonely back at this moment did not show the strength and calmness of the past, only a piece of lonely.

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Ningzui walked forward slowly, the steps finally startled Yan Yilan at this moment, only to see that Yan Yilan withdrew her gaze from looking out the window, and looked sideways at her.

In the shadow of the backlight, Jiang Ningzui couldn't see Yan Yilan's expression, but only heard her slightly hoarse voice with a faint tenderness.

"Did I wake you up?"
