Chapter Twenty-Five

The days have returned to before the expedition

She sits in the courtyard every day waiting for someone to return. He is busy with political affairs but never forgets to hang out in the paths and drop phoenix petals.

On the day of "make a painting for me", she suddenly said calmly

"One painting is enough for a person's life, why do we need so many"

She sighed softly

She has seen the portrait of Queen Qinghui looking back with a charming smile. It is lifelike and the brush strokes are real. It is unparalleled in the world. Both the painting itself and the person in the painting are unparalleled.

But she didn't have a painting of her own yet, and he had never thought of painting a painting for her called Bai Huangyi.

The plain white wine cup had a mellow aroma of old wine. For some reason, she, who had always been extremely sensitive to the aroma of wine, could not distinguish the taste of any wine. When she swallowed it, it was like white water in her mouth. It was not intoxicating, but fortunately, he no longer stopped her from drinking.

, sometimes he would silently take the wine cup and drink the remaining half in one gulp.

What has changed and what has not changed

The phoenix flowers bloom and fall on the trees. The sun and the moon have cycled through the human world several times. It has been a whole year since I first saw it in the forest.

The white phoenix robe is still the white phoenix robe, Qing Fuchen is still sleeping in an unknown hometown with no news, while Chensha is becoming silent day by day, and the impatience in his eyes is getting stronger and stronger.

It's been a year, and the season when the phoenix flowers bloom most enthusiastically has arrived again. The whole courtyard is covered in red as blood, and the setting sun has soaked the courtyard like clouds. It seems that the whole world has been splashed with that brilliant crimson, which even tears cannot wash away.

Go down

She no longer disliked the phoenix flower so much, she even used the colorful petals to serve wine and food, and one day served him a folk vegetarian meal when he returned.

"How come you are interested in cooking for yourself today?" The table was full of light and simple side dishes, and he ate happily.

"It's nothing. I haven't cooked for a long time and I'm afraid I'm rusty."

There was still a wine cup on the table, not his, but for the first time, he picked up the wine jug, filled it up, and handed it to her personally: "No matter how careless I am, I will never forget that you are here on such an important day.

Year"

Sure enough, he still remembers

Bai Huangyi was not so conceited. She told herself clearly that his deep memory came from his obsession with Qinghui, not her.

"I'll stay here tonight"

The hand holding the wine cup shook, and the liquid spilled all over the skirt and the floor.

Bai Huangyi couldn't calm down for a long time. Those words were as cruel as her sentence.

They have been together often this year but have never crossed the line. He thinks she is not Qinghui, and she thinks he has no eyes for her. They are indifferent and distant, so naturally there is no possibility of sleeping together. But tonight, he has no possibility of refutation.

declared that this relationship was about to end

"What do you mean?" Her voice trembled a little

Not afraid, but trembling with pain

He remained indifferent and calm, as if everything was for granted: "You are Queen Yelan, my married wife. Do you have any doubts about our relationship as husband and wife?"

Today is a year since we met him, but does he want to remember it in this way? Once again remind her to disappear early, let the legendary woman who everyone cares about reappear, and make everything perfect except for her

Without any explanation, he pulled her into the room. All the maids and guards shouted back. In the empty and cold room, only the overlapping figures and the approaching dusk outside the window were left.

"look at me"

She turned her head desperately and allowed him to repeat his orders

"I said she won't come back. Even if you consume all my mind, the result will still not change."

He stopped talking, lowered his head and hugged the woman who didn't know who it was - it didn't matter who it was, his heart was about to be frozen in the long passage of time, and he would die if no one came to warm him.

It's as hot as fire in my ears, wandering silently along my cheeks and neck

There's absolutely no way to resist, because it's him

Since she couldn't escape, she silently accepted Bai Huangyi's head buried in his shoulders, and her chest always remained in a position where he couldn't see her eyes.

Otherwise, he would see the tears she shed for the first time in front of others

Love breeds insanity, insanity breeds resentment, resentment breeds sorrow
