It was already halfway through the night, and Ming Street was still flickering with lights.

Xinxue's teahouse was full as usual.The reason why this place is so popular is that besides the delicious tea, the cakes are attractive.The tea drinkers order a pot of green tea, and then serve it with some pastries, sip it slowly, chat about anecdotes, and watch the passers-by outside the window, and the time can flow in such a leisurely way.

The dignified and elegant proprietress came out from the side door of the kitchen, smiled and told Anu who was busy serving tea, and went upstairs with a stack of snacks.

Pushing open the door of the private room, I saw a woman in white leaning against the window, staring at the bamboo branches swaying in the wind in a daze, her brows and eyes full of worry.

"Wanyan." Xinxue softly woke up the dazed person, walked to the table and put the plate in her hand, then came over and stood in front of the window together. "You, are you having trouble with the king again?" She asked the woman beside her, but her face was already clear.

"What are you talking about?" Meng Wanyan turned her head to look at her, her tone inexplicably weak.

"Okay, I can see that you have something on your mind." Xinxue put an arm around her and patted Meng Wanyan's shoulder lightly like a gentle elder. While observing her expression, she said deeply Said: "And... I heard that the king looked very bad this morning. After returning from the main hall to the palace of the underworld, he was locked up in the study alone for an afternoon. He changed his clothes and went out in the evening. He hasn't come back yet."

"You are well informed." Knowing the other party's intentions in saying these words, Meng Wanyan gave her an annoyed look, but still couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Of course." The proprietress smiled slyly: "Just admit that you are worried about her."

"I... I'm just a little sorry." Meng Wanyan looked at the slowly swaying branches outside, lowered her eyes amidst the rustling sound, and said in a low voice: "I saw Mingjin reincarnated yesterday. See The way he died tragically, I immediately felt that Yan You was going back on his word and intentionally harming him, so..."

"Why do you think so?" The people beside him also frowned, "It's because the king likes you, so she wants to hurt her rival so badly?" At this point, Xinxue became a little bit aggrieved: "Mr. Not to mention that the king doesn't bother to do this, even if she really wants to harm Liu Mingjin, does she need to bother? With a flick of her finger, Liu Mingjin can be wiped out."

This kind of thing can be seen and understood by others, but this person has got into the horns.Is it really that the authorities are confused by the bystanders?

Seeing the other person's expression change slightly after speaking, Xinxue slowed down her tone, and turned a little joking: "Hmph, I'm sure, the king will not do that, because...she is afraid that you will fight her desperately." Therefore, there is no need to worry that someone like the king, who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, will secretly harm that man.

"I... Maybe I blamed her wrongly." The man in white sighed softly, leaning against the edge of the window frame.

"Maybe?" The proprietress squinted her almond eyes, "Do you know, Wan Yan, what the King's Ni Lin is? One is betrayal, and the other is suspicion, especially being suspected by someone you care about."

"You know everything." Meng Wanyan stretched out a jade finger and poked lightly on her forehead, but the fluctuation of her eyes couldn't escape the other party's eyes.

Xinxue hugged the person leaning against the window affectionately, and continued joking: "Hmm, the proprietress of the tea shop naturally knows a lot. And... I also know that the current Ni Lin of the king is you, Miss Meng."

"When did the proprietress, who was always dignified and elegant, become so talkative?" The beauty in white looked sideways and feigned anger.

"Hey, okay, don't be unhappy, come and have a look at the dim sum I made." Xinxue took Meng Wanyan's hand, led him to the table and sat down, and pushed a plate of pastries in front of the other party as if offering a treasure , stuck a white jelly-like thing with a bamboo stick, and handed it over: "Wan Yan, you are my master. This time, I need to teach you a lot."

"You..." The white-clothed woman finally had a smile on her face, and took the bamboo stick: "Very well, as a teacher, come and taste the apprentice's skills."

The round jelly is smooth and watery, exuding a fragrant pear flavor, which is very attractive.Meng Wanyan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "Is this... Lixue Niang?"

"Hmm, how is it?" The proprietress was quite proud.The person opposite brought the pastry to his mouth and took a small bite.The moment the lips touched the surface of Li Xue Niang, an inexplicable sense of familiarity suddenly rose in my heart.

Why is there... a familiar feeling?Meng Wanyan frowned in surprise, chewed carefully, but slowly lost her mind.

This creamy and fragrant touch... Meng Wanyan was stunned, as if a stone had been thrown into the lake of her heart, awakening the vague but profound memory of that night long ago.

"Wanyan, what are you thinking? What's wrong?" Xinxue sensed something was wrong with the others and asked aloud.Why did Xindao become stunned after eating a pastry, and... why did he blush.

"I didn't miss her!" Meng Wanyan came back to her senses, and these words unconsciously popped out of her mouth.

"—Huh?" Xinxue narrowed her eyes, and brought her face closer: "Who...are you missing?"

The beauty in white was at a loss for a moment, her cheeks were flushed, and she hurriedly said, "I, I mean..."

"Pfft." Before she could finish speaking, the proprietress smiled and lengthened the syllable: "I-understand-white."

"What do you understand!"

"Pfft hahaha..."

……

At this time in the world, a full moon is hanging low in the sky.The night is cold, the silver light penetrates the branches, and the shadows of the trees shake.

In the quiet and uninhabited woods in the deep mountains, under the moonlight, a slender figure can be vaguely seen lying on the branch of a huge apricot tree.The man leaned against the tree pole with his hands behind his head, closed his eyes and rested.The palace sash with cloud patterns hangs down long, and the purple gauze robe is blown up by the wind, revealing the plain white hem inside.

Yan You just lay on the tree, breathing slowly, letting the mottled moonlight fall on his body to outline some beautiful outlines, as if his whole body had merged into the tranquility around him, becoming a silent landscape.

When she was a child, if something was not going her way, she would often go to the world to find a quiet place to rest for a while.Close your eyes, don't have to think about anything, just listen to everything around you quietly, and feel the cool breeze on your cheeks.In this way, the accumulated gloom in the heart can also dissipate a lot, just like the withered leaves, drifting away and turning into dust.

This way of relieving melancholy has been used to this day and has become a habit of hers.

However, it doesn't seem to be working right now.

The man lying on the tree pressed his hand lightly on his heart, and couldn't help frowning.Unlike before, this place is still not peaceful.It seems that something has been entangled there, unable to untie, unable to understand.

After a long time, Yan You opened his eyes, the moonlight reflected in his purple pupils, shining brightly.The night breeze is cool, the silver flowers are sparse, and the chirping of crickets and grass insects can be heard from the branches below, and occasionally night owls fly by in the distance, singing sadly.

Suddenly, some noise not far away broke the silence.Yan You turned his head, but when he looked up, he saw a woman in blue accidentally stepped into a swamp on the other side of the grassy clearing. After she reacted, the woman quickly pushed away the people who followed behind her.

"Aqiu, don't come here!" She shouted to the handsome young man behind.The boy who was pushed away was stunned, and when he saw clearly that the woman had quickly sank to the back of his waist, he rushed forward with a pale face, lying on the edge of the swamp and stretched out his hand to hold her hand: "Master, you, hold me steady!" , I will pull you up!"

The eager tone revealed a woman's voice, and Yan You's eyes moved slightly, only to realize that the fair and handsome boy was a girl disguised as a man.At this time, she was grabbing the other woman's hand and pulling it out desperately, but this posture was extremely difficult to exert force, and she could barely reach the palm of her hand. It got deeper and deeper.

This mountain is close to Yucheng, and it is humid all the year round. There have been heavy rains for several days in a row, so the swamp is extremely muddy. Once something touches it, it is very easy to be sucked in by the strong suction. The more you struggle, the deeper it sinks. quick.

"Aqiu, let go, or you will fall in too." The woman trapped in the swamp said to the crying man beside her.His voice was a little weak, and his lips were purple, as if he had been poisoned.

The girl who was still desperately trying to save others choked up and shook her head: "Master, what nonsense are you talking about?"

All this happened so suddenly, her mind was blank now, she was anxious and afraid, regretting that she let Master walk in front of her just now, knowing that Master was poisoned, she didn't stop her.At this moment, when she heard Master telling her to let go, she was startled suddenly, but she felt that the hand that was holding her was beginning to break free little by little.

Realizing the other party's intentions, the girl suddenly opened her eyes wide, and yelled at the other end: "You, don't let go!"

However, the other party finally broke free.The girl stared blankly at her empty hand, looked at the woman in the swamp who was about to reach her shoulders, and pursed her lips.Then she stood up and took a step.

Actually... jumped in.
