Fingers of crossing

Back at Zhaoling Hall, Jiang Ningzui stared blankly at the huge palace in front of her. The whole palace was so big, but she didn't know where to go.

There was no welcome for her anywhere, no place for her anywhere.

Unknowingly, she suddenly remembered what Chi Wei said to her before she left. In this palace, she was the one who crossed the line after all.

Qingfu has been waiting outside Zhaoling Hall, and seeing Jiang Ning get off the phoenix chariot drunk, she hastened to meet her and said: "Niang Niang."

Jiang Ningzui looked indifferently at Qingfu, who was somewhat disturbed and disturbed. She didn't speak, but walked straight into the Zhaoling Hall. Seeing Qingfu and Luhe still following her, she suddenly stopped at the bottom of the steps. He paused and said: "I have explained everything to the eldest princess. Now, there is no need for you to continue to monitor me."

Hearing the voice of Jiang Ningzui's words, Qingfu and Luhe glanced at each other in a panic, waiting for an explanation, but saw Jiang Ningzui pushing open the gate of Zhaoling Hall, saying: "I just want to be alone , you don’t have to follow me.”

The door closed coldly in front of the two of them, Lu He was the first to panic, she turned her head to Qing Fu and said: "Sister Qing Fu, what should I do?"

"It seems that I can't hide it." Qingfu shook her head again and again, her expression became more and more solemn, as if she had lost her way: "I just don't know what the eldest princess is planning."

The Zhaoling Hall was deserted and clear, and the fragrance of Yuelin was curling up with smoke. Jiang Ningzui walked slowly into the inner hall. At this moment, countless memories of the past were reflected in front of her eyes like a slide show. All the pictures related to Yan Yilan were as clear as yesterday. Every corner of the Hall of Feathers left traces of Yan Yilan.

If, when seeing Yan Yilan for the first time, she could see through the thoughts hidden under her alluring face, and see the deep meaning hidden in her frowns and smiles, then maybe in this well-thought-out game, she would also Then she can stay out of the matter, instead of being the pawn in Yan Yilan's hand willingly.

But maybe this word is a meaningless assumption.

Jiang Ningzui thought about it, looked around Zhaoling Hall, and smiled sarcastically.What a ridiculous fact, even now, she still can't hate Yan Yilan.

Yan Yilan has always been a high-ranking person, she is a majestic and respected eldest princess, but she is just a pawn under her supervision, even in the days when she seems to be the closest, she must break through her heart Only because of the guilt and the unspeakable truth, did he dare to approach her and have her tenderness and pampering.

In the end, I realized that it was a trial.

Who told her that the person she loves is a majestic monarch. Although she is a woman, she is ruthless and strategic.Even if she fell into such an unbearable and painful situation, she would not be able to say a word of complaint.

I thought I could stop thinking about it by deliberately avoiding it, but Yan Yilan seemed to be branded in her heart, the more she didn't listen, look, or pay attention, the more she lingered in her mind, lingering, Unwilling to think about it, but also unable to forget it.

In the end, he attacked the city and plundered the land, and lost his original intention.

But in the end Yan Yilan had a thousand calculations, but she still hadn't figured out a single thing.In fact, she didn't have to be so serious at all, and she didn't need to play tricks to this point. She should have known a long time ago that as long as it was her word, no matter how difficult it was, she would do her best to do it for her.

Even if it is a knife in her hand, she must be the sharpest one.

But Yan Yilan, you have finally failed my original intention.But what else can I blame you for, everything is my own will.

The next day, the entire imperial palace was shrouded in the busyness of King Beiyang's upcoming arrival, while Zhaoling Hall was still quiet. Hearing Qing Fu's report that Bi Yuan was coming, Jiang Ningzui raised her cold eyebrows, After thinking for a while, he replied, "Biography."

Biyuan led the maids to come with jewelry and phoenix clothes. She walked in the front and entered the hall. She led all the maids to salute: "Prince Princess."

This "princess concubine" sounds really ironic now, Jiang Ningzui's eyebrows flashed a trace of sarcasm, and she said calmly: "Get up."

"The team of King Beiyang will arrive at the palace at noon tomorrow, and the servants are ordered to deliver the jewelry and palace attire for the princess to wear tomorrow's feast."

Jiang Ningzui heard the words, glanced at the jewelry placed on the tray one by one, and finally landed on the bright red palace dress, smiled coldly, and said: "These are all sent by the eldest princess? "

"The crown princess misunderstood, it was sent by the queen's maidservant." Afraid of Jiang Ningzui's misunderstanding, Bi Yuan hurriedly replied: "The queen said that the crown prince is the master of the East Palace, and she should accompany the prince to Yin Wumen to meet her tomorrow." King Beiyang."

"The Lord of the Eastern Palace..."

Jiang Ningzui repeated Bi Yuan's words carefully. As soon as these four words came out, Bi Yuan and Qing Fu present were all uneasy. Unfortunately, she didn't say anything, but restrained the cold expression on her face, and ordered lightly: : "You put it down."

Bi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, she responded, turned around and ordered the maids to arrange them neatly in order.

"If nothing happens, you all back down."

Bi Yuan nodded and said yes, she took a few steps back, watching the maids exit Zhaoling Hall one by one, her footsteps slowly stopped, turned around to look at Jiang Ningzui, hesitant to speak.

Biyuan's expression fell into Jiang Ningzui's eyes, and she understood clearly: "Do you have something to say?"

"The servant does have something to say to the princess."

She waved her hand to signal the servants in Zhaoling Palace to retreat, and when the door of the main hall was closed, Jiang Ningzui said, "Let's talk."

"His Royal Highness always knew that the Crown Princess doesn't like to be lively, so he specially sent servants to tell the Crown Princess that if the Crown Princess doesn't want to go, she won't go. As for the Empress, she will explain it for the Crown Princess." Bi Yuan said on her own She took out a folded letter from her sleeve and handed it to Jiang Ningzui, "Your Highness ordered the slaves to hand it to the Crown Princess herself."

Looking at the paper lying quietly in her hand, Jiang Ningzui was not in a hurry to open it, her expression was so silent that no one could see what she was thinking.

"Some things should not be said by the servant, but the servant has been with His Highness for many years, so I really have to say it." Bi Yuan stopped talking in a timely manner, and saw that Jiang Ningzui did not have any impatient expression, and then continued Said: "Perhaps in the eyes of the Crown Princess, His Highness's actions are indeed somewhat cruel, but the Crown Princess has more or less seen and heard about His Highness's situation these years. The person who was once wanted to be killed by her most beloved younger brother was the one who held up her entire face four years ago. She has her concerns and her last resort, and her identity is doomed that she will not be able to do whatever she wants in her life. Anything. Every step she takes is related to the fate of the entire Dayan, she can't make mistakes, and she can't be the sinner of Dayan."

The letter in her hand seemed to be on fire, and Jiang Ningzui felt that it was scalding when it was squeezed in her palm. For Yan Yilan.

"The Crown Princess can accuse His Highness, or she can blame His Highness, but the Crown Princess cannot deny His Highness's affection for you!" Bi Yuan has always been calm, but now her tone became a little vehement, she eased her tone, Said: "If His Highness has no affection for the Crown Princess, why does His Highness have to confess to the Crown Princess all kinds of things in the past, causing the Crown Princess to complain and misunderstand? It is not necessary for a pawn to know these truths."

"The slave girl said this without any extravagance, and it was not at the behest of His Highness, but she hoped that the Crown Princess would understand His Highness's difficulties." Bi Yuan took a deep breath and suppressed her inner emotions.She saluted respectfully and said: "Your maidservant will leave first."

After Bi Yuan had left for a long time, the Zhaoling Hall was once again silent.Jiang Ningzui looked at the empty hall in a daze for a while, remembering Bi Yuan's words just now, and unconsciously felt a little helpless.

considerate?Jiang Ning smiled drunk, with bitterness in the corners of her eyes and brows.It's a pity that the relationship between her and Yan Yilan has never been just a matter of understanding. The biggest enemy between them now is each other.

Thinking about it, Jiang Ningzui slowly unfolded the letter in her hand, and there were only six words written lightly on the letter: If you come, you will be safe.Those are the brushstrokes that Jiang Ningzui is most familiar with. The handwriting is vigorous yet elegant, and it is Yan Yilan's handwriting.

There was a wind blowing through the huge hall from the window, it was clearly scorching wind, blowing on Jiang Ningzui's heart, but it was very cold.She slowly tightened the note in her hand, leaving nothing but silence on her indifferent face.

They come, the security.However, Yan Yilan, how can I feel my love for you?How can you be safe?

At nightfall, the bustle in the East Palace faded away, and the waiting palace people retreated. Jiang Ningzui sat silently under the palace lanterns. She looked at the bright red palace clothes neatly hung on the screen, which seemed to be the color of prosperity It was too glaring and made people's eyes hurt. After staring at it for a long time, she didn't feel sleepy at all.

Jiang Ningzui lowered her head, picked up the letterhead that Bairi Biyuan gave her, looked at Yan Yilan's neat handwriting without saying a word, and was silently dazed.

In the silent night, only Xia Chan kept chattering, so the sudden sound of footsteps was also very clear. The silver moonlight spread on the casement, and a figure slowly reflected on the window.Jiang Ningzui followed the footsteps and looked over, waiting to see who the figure was, her palms froze, and the paper she was holding fell down and burned into the candle beside her.

"Drunk."

Yan Yilan's slightly hoarse voice came in from outside the door, and Jiang Ningzui's heart tightened when she heard it. She looked down at the letter that had already been burned to ashes, and her mind suddenly went blank.
