Chapter 68 Looking at each other
The whispers of the people came from beside me: "The emperor's birthday is still three days away, and it's not yet the time to worship. Why would the emperor leave the palace at this time?"
"Who knows, it is said that it is related to Princess Ning'an. Yesterday there was a riot among the refugees in the west of the city. Someone saw the little princess there. The Holy One was so passionate about his daughter that he rushed there today."
The whispers of the common people floated into her ears, and Fuying subconsciously looked in the direction where the Holy Driver left. After an unknown amount of time, the dust raised on the ground calmed down. She stood up with the others, and the biting cold wind poured into her neck, and she couldn't help but feel...
shuddered.
Shao Hai asked with concern if it was important.
Fuying was a little lost: "Nothing."
In the past, every year on the emperor's birthday, she would sit next to her father, travel with his ceremonial guard, and accept the worship of the people of Chang'an. At that time, she never thought that she was not her father's daughter, nor did she think that she had a daughter.
One day I will leave Daming Palace quietly.
It was as if a very precious thing suddenly shattered in her heart. The fragments were sharp and stiff. Her heart was riddled with holes and the pain was unbearable. However, she could only try her best to restrain her emotions and said calmly: "It's okay.
Let’s go.”
The two walked extremely slowly in the crowd, being pushed forward by the crowd. Fuying felt like a soulless body. The road ahead was long, where should she go?
Shao Hai urged anxiously: "Your Highness, there are too many people on this road. We must hurry up, otherwise we will miss the time."
The two of them were going to the so-called old friend in Shao Hai's mouth, but as soon as they passed the most crowded place, there was another sound of shouting in front of them.
"Make way! Make way! Someone wants to come down from the high platform!"
As a matter of course, the people retreated to both sides to make way for the high platform on the tower in front.
Fuying and Shao Hai were separated by the crowd. When she looked up, she saw that he was already waiting for her on the other side, so she picked up her skirt and walked quickly towards the opposite side.
The tulle on the curtain obscured her vision, and she was so anxious that she didn't notice the scolding of the guards behind her.
"Quickly stop that rampaging woman. Don't hit the Queen."
The snow-white veil of clouds and mist floated in the breeze, revealing a beautiful and charming figure, with a flowing waist. This extraordinary appearance attracted passers-by to look sideways.
Fuying seemed to have bumped into someone in a daze, and she staggered slightly. The next moment, the breeze slowly blew up the corner of the curtain, revealing a pair of bright autumn eyes.
Naturally, she also saw who the person she bumped into was.
Fu Ying felt suffocated, and a flash of panic flashed through her. When she met Pei Yan's gaze, those handsome eyebrows and phoenix eyes rested on her exquisite face for a moment.
A startling glance, a stunning look at each other, the dazzling noise around them all subsided, and the veil fell, cutting off the two people's sight again.
Immediately afterwards, she was pulled into the crowd. The girl turned around. Although she was still shocked, she was already led by Shao Hai and ran forward.
After running a few steps, Fuying stopped subconsciously and suddenly looked back, just as Pei Yan's deep and deep gaze was projected on her. The two looked at each other across the vast crowd.
In the evening at Huoshuxing Bridge, he stood quietly in a luxurious black robe, and his graceful and graceful posture was wrapped in a gorgeous and unconventional beauty, like a flower that was about to grow in Chang'an City and be left behind in the Daming Palace.
The bright red peony.
They are two extremes of contradiction in this world.
Good and evil.
Shao Hai urged in her ear: "Your Highness, hurry up."
Fuying slightly raised the curtain hat with a slender white palm and whispered: "Wait a little longer."
"It's too late if it's too late! Let's go, Your Highness!"
Shao Hai kept urging her again, but the girl still stubbornly looked back and looked at Pei Yan, refusing to turn around and leave.
All things seemed to have stopped at this moment.
There were only a dozen steps between the two of them, and as they looked at each other, the wind blew the veil of the girl's hat that covered her face. Then, she turned around, and without any hesitation, she uttered a firm word: "
Let’s go.”
That petite figure blended into the crowd, just like a drop of rain falling on the vast ocean, and disappeared in an instant.
Morning and evening come and go, it is the warm sun and starlight, everything is fleeting.
At this moment, there is a woman in gorgeous clothes standing on the high platform, having a panoramic view of everything that happened below.
Empress Xie put her hands on the edge of the city wall, her eyes were unfathomable, and she asked Chang Sui behind her in a deep voice: "Song Hua, who is that person below?"
Song Hua looked in the direction of her finger, and two retrograde figures appeared in the crowd. It was okay if he didn't look at it, but he was surprised when he saw it: "This person... looks familiar, he does look a bit like Shao Hai."
Queen Xie's eyes were deep: "Shouldn't Shao Hai be in the palace today? Why did he come out of the palace and appear on the street?"
Shao Hai was actually the eunuch beside Queen Xie. He usually won the heart of his master, so he was naturally trusted by Queen Xie and was given a lot of power. However, in recent days, Shao Hai's whereabouts were erratic and his behavior was strange. This made him
Empress Xie, who was suspicious by nature, became somewhat suspicious of him.
Queen Xie's eyes were fixed on the woman behind Shao Hai: "Have you ever seen the woman following him in the palace?"
The distance was really far, and Song Hua couldn't see clearly enough. He could just barely make out the woman in the draped hat from the sea of people. Her gentle and graceful posture seemed to be no ordinary person.
The breeze caressed her face gently, and the gauze covering the beauty's face floated slightly, revealing her charming and beautiful face.
Song Hua said truthfully: "I don't know."
Queen Xie's cheeks didn't show any signs of emotion. She pondered for a moment, then turned sideways and walked towards the steps.
Song Hua hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly followed: "The Queen."
When we got close to the base of the city wall, the population suddenly decreased.
Fuying followed Shao Hai and wanted to pass through the city gate. The man took out the document he had prepared in advance and handed it to the guard guarding the city respectfully. The guard glanced at them randomly, closed it and glanced at the two of them, and finally relaxed.
Got it.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Fuying breathed a long sigh of relief and was about to take steps when she heard a burst of neat footsteps behind her.
Then, there was the sound of cold blades when spears hit the ground, and the sound of iron tools rubbing against armor.
"Who is in front of you? Stop!"
Fuying's back stiffened, and her heart was beating wildly, as if it was about to jump out of her throat the next moment. Just as she held her breath, Shao Hai turned around.
"Everyone, my name is Shao Hai, and I am the chamberlain beside the Queen." He smiled and greeted her, explaining his identity.
"Waiter?"
A gloomy and solemn female voice came, and the guards who had surrounded the road all retreated, only to see a woman dressed in luxurious clothes, with a dignified and beautiful face walking over.
