In fact, the fate between Xiao Jingyan and Liu Xinyi dates back to a night many years ago.At that time, it was the second year after the Chiyan case, and Liu Xinyi was only six years old.

She followed her cousins ​​to play by the lake in the western suburbs.It was very windy that day, perfect for kite flying.Later, every time she thought about what happened that day, it made her feel like a dream.Perhaps, this is the arrangement of fate, let them meet in the most unlikely place, and plant an unpredictable fate from then on.

They were all very tired from playing that day, and for some reason, Liu Xinyi hid in a bush and fell asleep.When she opened her misty eyes, she realized that there was no one around her, and it was already dark.

She didn't like to cry, and although she was afraid in her heart, she still walked forward boldly.After nightfall, the woods were full of ghosts, and the evening wind was mixed with a trace of coolness, blowing on her thin coat, and she couldn't help shivering.It was very dark in the forest, and she didn't hold a lamp, so she walked through the forest by the hazy moonlight.

Getting lost is inevitable.

Xinyi tripped over something and threw herself to the ground.She felt a burning pain in her elbow, as if a big hole had been cut by the sand in the mountain.She was anxious and afraid, and when she fixed her eyes, she saw that she was lying on a grave.

That's right, this is a low grave with a stone tablet, but the name of the deceased is not engraved on it.

Xinyi's face turned pale with fright, afraid of disturbing the undead, she could only hold back her screams.Feeling sorry for disturbing the person who was sleeping here unintentionally, she kowtowed three times in front of the wordless stele, praying in her heart that the owner of this tomb would not pester her.

Unexpectedly, just after she finished prostrating her head, footsteps sounded in the distance, as well as intermittent voices, like the gibberish of someone drunk.She didn't dare to breathe, and quickly hid in the bushes behind the mound.

It seems that this is really a lonely grave, otherwise the relatives of the deceased would not have grown weeds like this.

With a lantern on, the man walked in gradually, and stopped in front of the wordless stele.Suddenly, he threw away the lantern in his hand, and the paper money in his other hand also scattered all over the place.

Xinyi couldn't see the man's face clearly, but only saw a rough outline.He was a tall and tall man, he seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, and his steps were not very steady, he staggered and fell to his knees in front of the grave.

That was the first time Xinyi saw him drunk, and it was also the only time in her life.

"Ziqing, I'm here to see you." He smiled at the tombstone, but also seemed to be crying.

The night was very quiet, and Xinyi felt her heart beating louder and louder.She tightly covered her mouth with her hands, for fear that she would make a sound and disturb the people who worshiped here.

But this young man seemed to have also turned into a stone tablet, knelt there steadfastly, motionless.Like he said, just look, so don't even say a word?

This young man is Prince Jing, 20-year-old Xiao Jingyan.

Lin Ziqing is Xiao Jingyan's first wife, they were childhood sweethearts, and their relationship was very strong.However, Lin Ziqing had been in poor health, and she fell ill a few days before Xiao Jingyan went to Donghai for military training.She has been weak since she was a child, and she has been sick several times a year. Who knew that this illness would kill her.

When Xiao Jingyan came back from the East China Sea, his whole life seemed to be torn apart.It seems that the past 19 years were all a dream.Now, someone broke his sweet dream, woke up, and everything disappeared.

Lin Ziqing stayed sick for more than a month, and he was already extremely dangerous, but when he learned of the tragedy of the Red Flame Army, he became even more anxious, and thus disappeared.When Xiao Jingyan hurried back to the mansion, he only saw a cold corpse.The imperial physician said that Princess Jing was pregnant.

That sudden disaster destroyed everyone around him, not even the little life that was about to come.

At that time, he didn't care about it and rushed to the palace, wanting to question his royal father face to face, what kind of mistakes did King Qi and the Lin family make that caused them to suffer such a catastrophe.But he did not see His Majesty after all, and no one could answer his doubts.Too many people have been involved in this case, and it has become a taboo, and no one dares to bring it up since then.He was already sensitive, so he was not implicated, and the Queen Mother Quanzhang rescued him.Trespassing into the Forbidden Palace, what awaits him is a heavy punishment from His Majesty, without explanation, only the result.

Lin Ziqing was the daughter of a guilty minister, not only was she not allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum after death, she was not even allowed to erect a tombstone.

It was the empress dowager's intercession that finally allowed Xiao Jingyan to bury his lover's bones on this barren mountain.Only in the dead of night can he secretly come to worship.

I don't know how long he will stay in front of this grave.Xinyi, who was hiding behind, felt more and more sleepy, and couldn't help yawning.

This yawn completely knocked Xiao Jingyan's drunkenness away.He raised the sword he was carrying with him, walked to the back of the grave in two steps in three steps, and stabbed towards the bushes.

"Who?" His voice was low and sweet, with a hint of hoarseness, and a bit of charm.

Xinyi felt his sword brush against her cheek, and the sharp edge of the sword cut off a few strands of black hair on her cheek.She was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, her eyes stared straight at the gleaming sword, for fear that the owner of the sword would be unhappy and wipe off her own neck.

Xiao Jingyan pushed aside the grass, lit a torch, took a closer look, and couldn't believe what he saw.There was a shivering little doll, hugging her legs, curled up on his wife's grave.Holding the sword, he stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.This doll is a human or a ghost, how could it appear in this place?At this moment, this scene is unavoidably a little scary.

"Please, don't kill me." Xinyi was afraid that was all she could say.

Xinyi huddled into a ball, not daring to look at him, her small body was sobbing non-stop.After Xiao Jingyan hesitated for a moment, he gradually became sure that she was indeed a real person.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Xiao Jingyan was a little displeased, why did this girl climb onto other people's graves so casually.

Xinyi sobbed at first, and finally got out of hand.

"Don't cry." He has never been good at coaxing girls, let alone such a crying little girl.

Xinyi was really frightened, and she couldn't hear what Xiao Jingyan said, from sobbing softly at the beginning to crying loudly at the end.

Xiao Jingyan was afraid that something would happen if the child kept pestering her like this, so he could only cover her mouth with both hands.

"Don't cry, do you hear me?" He lowered his voice and warned in Xinyi's ear.

Xinyi was terrified, now that she was threatened by this stranger, she could only obey obediently.Seeing that she stopped making trouble, Xiao Jingyan heaved a sigh of relief, and carried her out of the haystack.

This girl is dressed luxuriously, so she must be a child of a wealthy family.The family members must be very anxious to hang around in the middle of the night like this.It was already past the curfew time. He looked at the tablet without writing and sighed, then turned to Xinyi and said, "What's your name? Where do you live?"
