Snow Chihiro

=======================

The capital city, the imperial palace, white silk fluttering, crying everywhere.

Dongfang Xi didn't cry, she sat in the yard, facing a cup of hot tea.The tea was brought by Su Yin just now, and he sat obediently beside her, looking at her with some distress.

"You don't have to worry about me," Dongfang Xi stared at the cup of hot tea. The tea is luming, and there is not much tea in a year. Hongzhi always sends it to her, but she seldom drinks it. Brother's tea.Now she knows how to drink, but she may not have it in the future.

That's how people are, when you notice what you have, it's often because you've lost it.Always pursuing something in the past, or something you never had, but turning the present into the past.

"Sister Xi..." Su Yin didn't know what to say. When her mother died, she cried heartbreakingly for a few days, and couldn't listen to anything.She thought for a while, then stepped forward and gently hugged Dongfang Xi from behind, spreading her warmth to that cold body.

What Xi Chao saw when he came was such a scene, a character who was always full of arrogance leaned a little weakly in the arms of a girl who was always mischievous and escaped but was extremely quiet at the moment.He lowered his head slightly and said: "Your Highness."

Dongfang Xi straightened up, "Say."

"Your Highness guessed right, Senior Yang's body is indeed not in the mausoleum. After checking by the humble official... it seems that he has entered the palace again..."

Dongfang Xi sneered, "Then let's look for it." She exuded a piercing chill all over her body, which made Su Yin beside her shiver, but Su Yin did not escape, and held her hand stubbornly. hand, "I'm going too."

Dongfang Xi frowned, "You stay here."

"Sister Xi, I'm going too." She had many worries and fears in her heart but didn't know how to express them, she just wanted to be by Dongfang Xi's side.

Dongfang Xi took a deep look at her, held her hand, "Then let's go together."

The place to go is Kunning Palace.

Hongzhi's private life is very dull, apart from Yang Xi who died after one year in the palace, there is only this empress.The folks praised him for their deep love as a husband and wife, but they didn't know that after he had Zhu Houzhao, he never got lucky again, not for Queen Zhang, but for Concubine Yang De.But no matter who it is for, the harem is empty, and the Kunning Palace is busier than the previous dynasties.

But today is also very deserted, the Holy Majesty has passed away, and there is no other excitement in the whole palace except crying.Dongfang Xi led a group of disciples of Taixu Palace disguised as palace servants into this deserted place, ignoring the eunuchs and maids kneeling all the way, and went straight to the empress.

Empress Zhang was doing her makeup, even though it was night, she was doing her makeup.She waved her hand to let the serving maid go down, and inserted a pearl hairpin herself, and Dongfang Xi had a tacit understanding and didn't bring anyone else in.

"Am I pretty?" Queen Zhang suddenly raised her head and asked, like a girl waiting for her lover to praise her.

Dongfang Xi ignored her, "Why?" She didn't ask for herself, but for the mother she had never met. She thought that according to Yang Xi's personality, she would want to know why the sisters who played with her since childhood would hurt her. She lost her chastity, killed herself, and even the corpse was not spared in the end!

Empress Zhang smiled in a trance, suddenly came to her senses, and sighed: "You're not her." She said somewhat disinterestedly: "Are you asking about something that happened 20 years ago?"

Dongfang Xi didn't speak, she said to herself: "Why, I want you to stay by my side, why are you?" She seemed to be in a trance again, suddenly jumped up and grabbed Dongfang Xi's hand The collar said bitterly: "Why? You said you don't like women, and you tricked me into marrying into the palace, but you fell in love with that quack? Is she more beautiful than me, better than me, or is she more affectionate than I am to you?"

Dongfang Xi was stunned for a moment, and Su Yin, who was eavesdropping outside the door, also widened his eyes. What's going on?

Queen Zhang still confides like a madman, "You and I have been together since we were young, and you are like a sick child. I have been with you for 14 years. How can I not be as good as her to you? Yes, I tricked Xu Changhai into giving you medicine, yes I secretly instigated your brother to make him commit a great crime, but all this is just to let you stay here with me. Then, which one did I not finish for you? How did I ever let him touch you again? ?”

She grabbed Dongfang Xi and muttered to herself, Dongfang Xi also came back to her senses and pushed her heavily to the ground.Empress Zhang kowtowed, then came back to her senses, stood up and went back to sit down, "Do you know why I don't like you, it's your face that always drives me crazy."

Dongfang Xi stood still, still shocked, "Do you like her?"

"Like?" Queen Zhang disdainfully said, "I love her, I love her more than all of them."

Is that love?Dongfang Xi doesn't know, maybe it is, it's just a madman of love, which makes people afraid. "Even if you love her, you shouldn't hurt her just because she doesn't love you."

"Who says she doesn't love me?" Empress Zhang was displeased, and said proudly: "If she doesn't love me, why would she stay because I was poisoned, and try medicine to detoxify me? It's just that she loves that one more." Slut, she clearly cured my poison, but refused to cure herself. Does she think I don’t know? She is so good at medicine, she must have taken some fake death medicine to trick me. She is dead and wants to sneak out of the palace Meet that bitch!"

Dongfang Xi replied after hearing the first half of the sentence: "That's because she sympathizes with you." He was surprised when he heard the second half of the sentence, "You mean she's not dead?"

Empress Zhang said with a silly smile: "Of course she is not dead, she just fell asleep." She looked at Dongfang Xi, and suddenly said: "You look so similar to her, she must be very happy to see you, maybe she will wake up I'm here! I'm so stupid, why didn't I think of it earlier!" She got up excitedly and twisted the mechanism, and Su Yin outside the door heard the situation and hurried in to occupy Dongfang Xi's side. This woman seemed a little crazy How could she rest assured that Dongfang Xi would be alone with her.

Fortunately, Queen Zhang didn't seem to pay much attention to her, she stood at the entrance of the secret passage and waved to Dongfang Xi, "Come on, come on."

Dongfang Xi followed her in without hesitation. The door of the secret passage gave off a cool air. No wonder the Kunning Palace is always a bit gloomy and cold. The place inside is covered with ice. There are no torches and candles in the secret passage. Only the night pearls glowed faintly, and the three of them were not wearing much. Queen Zhang in the front didn't seem to notice it, but Su Yin hugged Dongfang Xi's arm. Sister Xi was not in good health, and she couldn't bear the cold. , but it was impossible not to go down, so she had to pass on both heat and true energy.

Go straight down quite deep, revealing a huge ice room, in the middle of the ice room is an ice room, and there is a shadowy person lying in it.Empress Zhang rushed over when she saw it, but Dongfang Xi paused, then followed, bowing her head.

She really resembled him, but her brows and eyes were tender and tight, as if she was asleep.But Dongfang Xi knew that she was not asleep, but dead. Her fingernails were gray, and there were corpse spots on her body, and it was only because she was frozen that they didn't spread.Doesn't Queen Zhang know that she is dead?

Dongfang Xi thought she should also know that when she came from the mausoleum, she was afraid that the corpse would smell slightly, but she didn't want to believe it, she didn't want to believe it, she would rather lie to herself that she fell asleep, and would rather hate that she was thinking about something else People want to feign death and leave, and they don't want to give up that little hope.

Maybe she would dress like this every night, come down to ask the person in the coffin if she was beautiful, and expect her to wake up every night.

Dongfang Xi stared blankly at the person in the coffin with the same face as her own. This is a very lucky person. The three top figures in the world love her to the death, but she is even more pitiful and unfortunate. None of the three knew how to love.

Dongfang Yunfei's love is too paranoid and decisive, Hongzhi's love is too greedy and selfish, and Queen Zhang's love is too terrifying and crazy.

She watched Queen Zhang fling herself on the ice coffin and carefully talking to the corpse, and suddenly lost interest in torturing her, "Kill her."

Su Yin was stunned, "Huh?" I've never killed anyone before.

Impatient, Dongfangxi drew his sword and stabbed directly into Empress Zhang's heart. Empress Zhang froze all over, but suppressed the scream of pain. She seemed to regain consciousness suddenly, looked back at Dongfangxi, smiled lightly, and jumped Pour over ice.

A quarter of an hour later, Dongfang Xi strode out, saw Qingji, and said as he walked, "The empress misses her father, and she becomes sick from grief, and commits suicide in Kunning Palace."

Qingji responded.

Dongfang Xi looked around for another week, "Everyone in Kunning Palace waits, all buried!"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Su Yin trembled when she heard the order, but she didn't dare to intercede. She reached out to hold her, but she dodged it with her hands behind her back.

"You don't have to follow." Dongfang Xi strode forward and walked fast, and the people around looked at each other and did not dare to follow. Only Su Yin followed closely, although he didn't say a word, he didn't leave an inch.

After walking a long way, Dongfang Xifang stopped and turned to ask her, "What do you mean by love?"

Su Yin's heart beat faster in an instant, looking for the best answer in his mind, but Dongfang Xi smiled disdainfully, "I think love is disgusting. What is love? It's distrust, it's leaving, it's blame, it's greed, it's love. Asking is self-righteous and hurting. She turned around and left after saying this, but was grabbed by Su Yin.

"No." Su Yin said firmly: "At least my love for you, no."
