In the blink of an eye, Chang'an ushered in March when the grass grows and the orioles fly. In the early morning of this day, the warm sun carried the breeze and parted the morning mist, and the peach blossoms and cherry blossoms spread all over the mountains like a wisp of light yarn.

In the human world, along with the mountains

The bells of Yuqing Temple are ringing loudly, and the spring breeze carries the pink and white petals of the mountains and forests swirling in the air, rolling up waves of charming flowers, attracting countless ladies in the boudoir, and literati and poets come here just to take a look at this spring day.

Haze.

At this moment, the quiet independent courtyard behind Yuqing Temple is extremely quiet in comparison. If you look at it from a distance, you will only feel that this place is simple and elegant, and there is no difference. But in fact, from sunrise to sunset, there are secretly unknown surroundings here.

No matter how many secret guards have been deployed, not to mention if a person enters, even if a bird enters, it will be inspected by three patrols.

The maids in front of the tile house are all doing morning sweeping at the moment. Although it is March, there is still a sense of late spring cold. However, the room is extremely warm at the moment, and the faint fragrance of seasonal flowers decorates the room even more.

For the sake of elegance, amidst the rustling of clothes, the subtle and rapid breathing of the people behind the curtains gradually sounded.

Drenched in cold sweat, Empress Yang, who was lying on the couch, suddenly opened her eyes. She looked at the soft and delicate Xia Ying gauze above her head with a double shadow. She suddenly stretched out her hand and felt the cold tears. In this endless silence

, Queen Yang closed her eyes silently, but the scenes in her dream kept reappearing in her mind like a revolving lantern.

Since that night, she has been awakened by nightmares countless times. No one knows that now she is more and more afraid of being alone because she can deeply feel an indescribable pressure that is gradually increasing.

Coercing her, even wanting to devour her.

Whenever it was quiet at night, that sense of loneliness and powerlessness was always like the vast endless black sea of ​​night, plunging her into it little by little, day after day, night after night, suddenly, the cold tide seemed to have

It reached her neck, and even her breathing became painful and uneasy. The feeling was too real, too depressing, and so depressing that she almost tried her best to escape.

In the silence, extremely faint footsteps came from outside. Queen Yang instinctively wiped away the tears on her cheeks, closed her eyes again and pretended to be asleep.

When Jiamo entered, he saw that Queen Yang was still sleeping peacefully on the couch, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of peace of mind in her eyes. Then she tiptoed in and said very carefully until she was in front of the couch: "Your Highness, Your Highness——"

When he saw Queen Yang turning sideways slightly and slowly opening her eyes, Jiamo nodded and said, "The princess is here."

"Aman?"

Aman had been living with her in Yuqing Temple since he left the palace. He accompanied the eldest princess Chen to recite scriptures and tend to flowers and plants every day. Compared with the palace, his life was indescribably comfortable.

But seeing that the day of getting married was getting closer, Ah Man had to return home to get married. Although Ah Man always wanted her to go to the Duke's Mansion with him, she felt that after twenty years of living in the square courtyard,

Unknowingly, she was overwhelmed. In contrast, she preferred to stay at Yuqing Temple where she could hear the sound of bells and smell the fragrance of wild flowers every day.

"Then just freshen up."

Seeing that Empress Yang couldn't wait to meet her when she heard about Li Sui, Jiamo immediately responded with a smile, stepped forward and opened the curtain, and called people in to freshen up.

"Why is Aman here now?"

Hearing Queen Yang's question, Jiamo responded with a smile: "The peach and cherry blossoms are blooming all over the mountain. The princess wants to invite you to enjoy the flowers."

While talking, the maid was going in to tidy up the bedding for Queen Yang. When she felt the moisture on the pillow, she couldn't help but look at Jiamo with some doubts. Queen Yang naturally saw this scene and just calmly let Qing Zhi comb it for her.

He nodded and said, "I don't know whether it's because the weather is warmer or because the bedding is thicker, but I felt hot when I slept last night, and I was sweating in the middle of the night."

After hearing Queen Yang's words, Jiamo saw that Queen Yang's hair on the temples was sticky with sweat, and then stepped forward to touch the quilt. She was indeed worried about the cold in the mountains and was afraid that Queen Yang's body would be cold after giving birth, so she ordered someone to remove the quilt.

It was also thicker. Thinking of this, Jiamo couldn't help but blame himself and said: "This slave has neglected his duty. I will ask someone to replace it with a slightly thinner one soon."

"It doesn't matter, you are doing it for my own good."

While talking, Empress Yang smiled and patted Gamo's hand. After washing up, she went to the yard of Chen, the eldest princess of Qinghe, and saw Li Sui sitting next to Chen, chatting and laughing, looking very warm.

For no reason, Queen Yang thought about herself, but her heart felt like it was falling to the ground. She brushed away the loneliness in her lower eyes and heard the girl's happy voice in her ears.

"Sister--"

Looking up again, Empress Yang had already met Li Sui's eyes with tenderness. She smiled and saw Li Sui coming up to pull her, so she let her pull her into the house, where she and Chen had breakfast and talked for a while.

, I saw Li Sui holding Chen's hand clingingly and saying: "The flowers in the mountains are blooming. It's a beautiful time. I want to go to enjoy the flowers with my sister. Can I go?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen looked down at her coquettish daughter, smiled and shook her head and said, "It's time for me to do morning lessons. You and Yu Niang go first. I won't be too late to accompany you after lunch."

Li Sui was not surprised at all by Chen's answer, so he did not force it. He only drank a cup of tea and walked out of the courtyard with Empress Yang.

…

"I just went to enjoy the flowers, and you guys followed me like a crowd. It didn't disturb others, but it exposed my whereabouts."

Looking at the group of palace ladies following behind him, Li Sui said: "Jiamo, Qingzhi, Niannu, and Yunu are following. As for the secret guards, just keep a distance. It's a matter of enjoying it with the people. Don't do it."

So much fanfare."

After hearing Li Sui's instructions, everyone naturally listened. When Li Sui and Queen Yang came to the back mountain of the temple, the pink and white peach blossoms and bright red cherry blossoms were as bright as the sea.

Wearing a blouse and skirt, holding a flower hairpin in a high bun, and surrounded by silk drapes, there are waves of flying petals, and you really feel like you are in a heavenly palace.

A breeze blew by, blowing up the random flowers in the forest. Seeing the beautiful scenes in front of you turned into poems and songs by literati, spread out on the painting scrolls smudged by the scholarly fragrance, it only made people feel that they were really true.

This trip.

After the two sisters had enjoyed a stick of incense, Li Sui glanced at Empress Yang beside her, who had a gentle smile on her face, and said, "Sister, there is a small yard in front, let's go and have a rest."

Empress Yang looked at this fascinating scene of people coming and going, and finally nodded and smiled. When they arrived at the front of the courtyard, Li Sui helped Empress Yang enter the house, which was simply decorated.

Simplicity, after Jiamo and the others had added tea and snacks, they heard Li Sui say: "Just let people stay around the yard, don't disturb outsiders -"

After that, under Li Sui's instructions, the secret guards stood around the courtyard, and Qing Zhi and Nian Nu also left and stood outside the house.

However, when the door was closed, Li Sui gently tugged on Queen Yang's sleeve. When Queen Yang looked sideways, she saw Li Sui silently pointing behind the screen.

In a daze, Queen Yang stood up and followed Li Sui to the screen, and entered a small door on the side. When she walked through the long sealed corridor and walked out, she saw a sudden light in front of her eyes.

"Aman, what is this?"

Meeting Queen Yang's surprised gaze, Li Sui said with a smile: "The courtyard just now is a resting place for the nobles of Chang'an. For the convenience of the nobles who enjoy the scenery, it is connected to the tallest Wanghe Tower in front of you, but this

Very few people know, and I told the temple that today we are going to climb up to enjoy the scenery, so the Wanghe Tower is locked from the outside and no outsiders can enter."

Hearing what Li Sui said, Empress Yang shook her head and said helplessly: "Just now you said that you want to have fun with the people, why should you block the people's roads just for you and me to enjoy it?"

Seeing that Queen Yang did not agree with this, Li Sui was not surprised. He just raised his index finger and said with a smile: "Just this once."

Compared to the hustle and bustle in the sea of ​​flowers, this place is extremely quiet. At this moment when the wind blows and the chirping of birds is particularly clear, Queen Yang smiles helplessly, but she finds that the eyes of Li Sui in front of her are gradually becoming serious.

.

"Sister, let's go see Ayu."

When she heard the name buried deep in her heart suddenly being called to her ears, her agitated heart suddenly stopped. Following Li Sui's gaze, Empress Yang looked towards the pavilion with the door tightly closed, almost
