The endless sea of flowers was dyed layer by layer. She looked around, and a look of surprise flashed across her face. Where was she? There were blooming flowers everywhere around her. Her fingertips were flowing, and the petals were flying and passing by, bringing out the softness.
The touch. She slowly squatted down and looked at the flowers everywhere. A smile flashed on her face. These flowers were not ordinary flowers. Just smelling them made her feel refreshed. She lightly
I stroked those flowers gently, as if I could feel the throbbing of life inside. But no, why are these flowers so familiar? They are roses and camellias! And at this moment, a voice suddenly came, "Yan'er!
"
Who is calling her? On the ground, a look of surprise flashed across Yun Yan's face. The voice was so familiar. Who was it?! She stood up slowly.
On the edge of the sea of clouds, a man in white clothes slowly walked towards this side. The breeze suddenly picked up, and the white clothes were dancing, and his long hair was flying, but it could not hide his bewildering appearance. Looking at her, a smile appeared on his charming face.
Looking at her, with a pair of red and phoenix eyes mixed with a little affection, he stretched out his hand, looked at her, and said softly: "Yan'er, come here to me."
Looking at the man who was slowly approaching, Yunyan stood there blankly, it was him! A trace of joy surged in her heart. Seeing him there, she felt particularly at ease in her heart.
The corner of Yun Yan's mouth raised slightly, she slowly stretched out her hand, raised her steps slightly, and walked towards the man in front of her.
However, before taking a few steps, she suddenly froze on the spot, and the smile on her face disappeared in an instant. She was still looking ahead, but there was still the figure of the man in white in front of her. A man in black clothes was standing there.
There, the black clothes completely covered his body and face, leaving only a pair of eyes that shot out a sharp gaze. But even so, she could recognize him at a glance!
Yun Yan shook her head and looked at the person. She felt a pain in her chest. She pressed her chest and sneered, "Why are you here?"
"Have you forgotten our deal? You must marry Mu Qingyuan." The man in black said coldly, without any emotion in his eyes.
Must marry Mu Qingyuan? Yun Yan twitched her lips and sneered: "Are you here to remind me of this? Why did I forget, haha!" However, as she spoke, her body slowly slid down.
At this time, a familiar voice came again, with a low voice and a vow, "Yan'er, don't be afraid. As long as I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you."
Listening to this voice, Yun Yan suddenly felt pain in her head. She shook her head and raised her head. Opposite her was still a man in black. He looked at her coldly, "Remember our deal! Otherwise, you know
as a result of."
"Yan'er, I won't let anything happen to you if I'm here!" At this moment, the man in black seemed to have suddenly transformed into a man in white again. He - Mu Jingnan.
Yun Yan covered her head. She felt that there was chaos in front of her eyes. The man in black and the man in white alternated back and forth. Who is it? Who are they?
"Marry Mu Qingyuan!"
"Don't be afraid, I won't let anything happen to you."
…
"Remember our deal!"
"Yan'er, be obedient and come to me."
On the bed, the pale woman suddenly moved her body, her beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and she murmured, "Don't come near me, go away, go away!"
"Mu Jingnan, Ye Mei, go away..."
"I won't be fooled by you again..."
…
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" The woman in a green dress next to the bed heard the voice of the woman on the bed, came over quickly, looked at the woman who was still sleeping, and said anxiously, with a small face full of
Worried.
Not long after, the woman on the bed suddenly relaxed her brows, and slowly opened her closed eyes. She felt that her eyes were blurry for a while, and it took a long time before the figure in front of her slowly settled in front of her eyes.
"Miss, you finally woke up." Looking at the woman who opened her eyes on the bed, Bishui wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said in surprise, but she could not hide the sadness in her heart.
Yunyan ignored Bishui. She only felt a heartbreaking pain on her forehead and left arm. She turned her head and glanced at her left arm. The wound seemed to have opened again. Is this hand going to be useless? Her right hand was slow.
He slowly lifted it up and touched the area where she felt pain. It seemed to be wrapped in a layer of cloth.
"Hiss..." Yunyan took a breath and recalled the scene in her mind. She remembered that she accidentally stepped on the steps and fell down from the steps. She remembered that it was such a high step.
She felt a stream of heat sliding down her head, but she couldn't remember clearly what happened next.
No, she seemed to have heard something else. Someone had been talking to her, but she didn't hear clearly what he was saying! It was him! She was with him at that time. Yunyan's eyes moved, and she couldn't help but think in her mind
Recalling the dream just now, she held her head, closed her eyes slightly, and a look of pain flashed across her face. Which one is the real him? Oh, how could she forget that they are the same person, so naturally they are both him!
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Does the wound hurt?" Bishui looked at Yunyan and said worriedly. Although the wound had stopped bleeding when the lady was sent back yesterday, the white cloth on her forehead was still soaked with blood.
It can be seen that the wound is not just a scratch on the skin.
Listening to Bishui's voice, Yunyan slowly opened her eyes. She didn't answer her words, but just asked: "How long have I been asleep?"
Bishui replied: "You have been in a coma for a day and a night. Miss, what happened yesterday? When I came in to see you yesterday, you were not there. I heard from the maids that you entered the palace with the fourth prince.
But how could someone who is so good come back with wounds all over his body? I asked the Sixth Prince yesterday, but he didn’t say anything, but his face didn’t seem to be good either.”
Was it Mu Jingnan who sent her back? Yunyan opened her mouth slightly, and suddenly she laughed. Yes, she was just with him at that time. It was normal for him to send her back. She couldn't let the dignified lady of Xiangfu die.
In the palace.
Seeing Yun Yan's slightly lost expression, Bishui hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Miss, did you have a quarrel with the Sixth Prince?"
Hearing this, Yunyan raised her eyebrows and looked at Bishui for a long while, struggling to get up from the bed. Seeing this, Bishui quickly helped her up and let her lean on the bed rail.
Yun Yan didn't look at Bishui, but said lightly: "Don't mention him in front of me in the future."
Was it really a quarrel? Bishui was shocked when she heard this. After thinking about it, she persuaded: "Miss, is there any misunderstanding between you? I saw that when the Sixth Prince sent you back yesterday,
That's very distressing, much better than that Fourth Prince Lao Shizi. He is really worried about you."
Misunderstanding? Hearing this, Yun Yan sneered. She looked at Bishui indifferently and said, "Do you think there can be any misunderstanding between me and him? Is he worried about me? But it was clearly him who pushed me into the abyss! This
Enough is enough and I don't want to mention it anymore. Since I've slept all day, how is the case of Gao Qi embezzling money going on in the imperial capital?" After saying this, she looked forward with a cold expression.
Bishui wanted to say something more, but looking at Yun Yan's repulsive expression, she finally held back. She replied: "Gao Qi has been shouting that he was wronged and refused to admit that the disaster money was obtained by corruption.
, he said that it was someone else who wanted to put the blame on him. There was no movement from the emperor's side, but he continued to let Li Jianye, the governor of Liangdu, investigate the case thoroughly."
Yun Yan nodded, looked ahead, frowned, and whispered: "According to Gao Qi's identity, it would be difficult to convict him if not for all the witnesses. The emperor will naturally have to collect evidence to convict him. In the end, he will be convicted."
The most important thing is Empress Dowager Gao. With her here, no one, not even the emperor, would dare to touch the Gao family."
"How powerful is Empress Dowager Gao?" Bishui looked at Yun Yan in surprise and asked.
Shaking his head slightly, Yun Yan said calmly: "She is the biological mother of the current emperor. Naturally, the emperor wants to see her in the least respect. Moreover, when the current emperor ascended the throne at a young age, it was the Queen Mother who supported her from behind to quell the rebellion. This shows her skill.
I am afraid that the Queen Mother has the final say in this harem so far, and the Queen is just a decoration to maintain power." Thinking of that time when she went to the palace, looking at the Queen Mother, she felt a little unsure, because she had no idea at all.
I couldn't tell what she wanted to do. Those eyes hidden under that withered face seemed to be able to see through everything.
Bishui nodded, she clenched her little hands, and said dissatisfiedly: "Then we can't let that Gao Qi go. It's hard for the people to be angry if a corrupt official like him who harms the people doesn't die."
Yun Yan's eyes darkened slightly, she smiled coldly, looked ahead and said: "Don't worry, now that the physical evidence is available, we have to send a witness. I believe that witness will appear soon."
Will witnesses appear? Bishui looked at Yunyan, how could the young lady be so sure? But in this way, she felt at ease, and the young lady's words would definitely not be wrong.
"By the way, miss, there's something I haven't told you yet. Chunqiao and the others have come to Liangdu." Bishui suddenly thought of something and said with a smile.
When Yun Yan heard this, she frowned and said in a deep voice: "What are they doing here? The situation in Liangdu is not optimistic now! If her identity is known, it will cause a lot of trouble."
She could never forget Mu Qingyuan's aggressive look before, and she would never let Chunqiao and the others be put in danger.
"Chunqiao and the others are also worried about this and you. Don't worry, she brought a lot of secret guards with her when she came." Bishui said quickly. The young lady just thinks too much, so she always worries for them. She continued,
"Also, Chunqiao asked me to tell you that the disaster situation in Xiangcheng has basically been controlled, and food has been transported to the trapped disaster areas. Within five days, the disaster situation in various places will be relatively reduced.
, so you can rest assured.”
Did you bring the secret guards here? Yun Yan nodded, but still said: "Let them stay in Linglong Pavilion and don't go out to show their faces."
Bishui nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will tell them, but I haven't told you yet. Chunqiao and Chu Zhihan are getting married soon. They both came here this time to tell you the news.
.”
"Really?" After hearing this, Yun Yan's cold face finally had a wave of emotion, and a rare smile appeared on her face.
Seeing that Yunyan was happy, Bishui felt relieved. She said with a smile: "No, Chunqiao and Chu Zhihan are inseparable now. No matter what Chunqiao does, Chu Zhihan always looks worried.
This is not allowed and that is not allowed. Earlier, Qiu Yuan even joked that Chu Zhihan's belly is not big yet, and Chu Zhihan is like a mother-in-law. When Chu Zhihan gets pregnant, Chu Zhihan is afraid that Chu Zhihan will nag Chun Qiao to death."
Nodding, Yun Yan said with a smile: "I'm relieved that Zhihan can treat Chunqiao like this. Go tell them that in two days, when I feel better, I will go see them. Think about it, we also have a relationship.
We haven’t seen each other for a while.”
Bishui held her hands in front of her chest and said with a look of expectation on her face: "When the time comes for them to get married, I want to have a good time in the bridal chamber. But when the time comes when the lady gets married, we have to go there together, hehe.
!" Having said this, she looked at Yun Yan with beams of joy.
Getting married? Listening to this word, Yunyan frowned, her eyes tightened, and the smile on her face disappeared. However, now that even Chunqiao's matter has come to an end, she feels relieved.
Quite a few. She looked outside and saw that the catkins had long since disappeared, and the spring was almost over. "Okay, I'm a little tired. You can go down first."
Did she just say the wrong thing? The young lady seemed very unhappy? Listening to this, a look of worry flashed across Bishui's face. What on earth did the Sixth Prince do wrong? Wasn't it good at the beginning?
Thinking of this, she whispered: "Miss... Actually, the Sixth Prince came last night..." However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Yun Yan.
After Yun Yan heard the words "Sixth Prince", he didn't wait for Bishui to finish speaking and said directly: "Get out."
Bishui opened her mouth, bit her red lips, remained silent for a while, and said: "Then, young lady, have a good rest. If you need anything, just call Ling Bo. I'll go to Linglong Pavilion first and I'll be back soon."
Yun Yan ignored her, his eyes fell on the curtain opposite the bed, and he was fascinated by the tiny patterns on it.
Seeing that Yunyan no longer paid attention to him, Bishui sighed and prepared to go out.
At this time, Yun Yan suddenly stopped her and asked: "Is there any news about me in Liangdu today?"
Listening to this, Bishui's face was filled with doubts.
So what if he sent her back yesterday? Maybe it's for next time's use. He has too many secrets. She can't trust him easily anymore. What's more, it was just a transaction at the beginning. He was not wrong.
, it was her fault, she lost her heart, then she was destined to bear the consequences. But even so, how can she be forgiven? It cannot be forgiven! She clenched her hands unconsciously, and dug her nails into her flesh.
Not aware yet.
Ninghegong
At the door, a man in a light blue brocade robe walked out. In the hall, a woman in a pink-orange palace dress looked at the man who went out and shook her head unconsciously.
From behind the screen, a woman came out. Her face was covered with scars, stab wounds, and even more burns. There was no perfect spot on her entire face. However, her eyes fell in the direction where the man left.
Reluctant to move away.
Looking at the person coming, Mu Xuening took her hand. She felt her hand trembling too. She sighed in her heart and said, "Why don't you want Jingnan to know that you are alive?"
Withdrawing her gaze, Hui'er lowered her head. She shook her head and said, "My existence has always been a taboo. I know so many secrets. I'm afraid of bringing trouble to the Sixth Prince. Besides, I didn't protect the young lady. How could I have done it?"
My face lets him know I'm still alive."
"You are the closest person to Jin Yu when he goes out to Jingnan. If he knows that you are still alive, Jingnan may not be happy enough. Over the years, Jingnan has suffered a lot, but he has survived it all. He is better than anyone else.
You are as strong as you can imagine." Mu Xuening said with a smile.
Listening to these words, Hui'er's eyes were full of hatred. She said in a hateful voice: "They are all from the Gao family. If it weren't for them, how could the young lady die? How could the Dugu family be wiped out? I don't want to skin them all the time.
, drank their blood, and avenged everyone in the Dugu family."
"Don't worry, Jingnan has grown up. Although all this is a bit cruel to him, after all, he has seen and experienced it with his own eyes. He will want revenge more than anyone else. And I just need help.
Him, achieve his goal for him." Mu Xuening looked forward and said in a deep voice, with a hint of coldness on her beautiful face.
"Humph, Gao Qi has been imprisoned, and the Gao family is about to end. We must not let them go!" Hui'er said bitterly, the scars on her face were affected, and she looked more and more ferocious, except for her eyes.
Complete. Suddenly she looked at Mu Xuening and said sadly, "Your Highness, the eldest princess, thank you so much for these years. If it weren't for the Gao family, you and the eldest son..."
Mu Xuening closed her eyes slightly. She let go of Hui'er's hand, closed her eyes slightly and said, "Stop talking!"
Huier realized that she had made a mistake and lowered her head, but her face was full of pain. Yes, it would have been wonderful if none of that had happened.
Suddenly, Mu Xuening opened her eyes, looked forward, changed the topic and said, "Looking at Jing Nancai's appearance, I'm afraid he may be in trouble this time."
Hearing this, Hui'er was startled. Just now she seemed to hear a person's name from behind the screen, Yun Yan. Yun, is your surname Yun? A trace of contemplation flashed across her face, as if yesterday, the Sixth Prince
He brought a woman here.
"Princess, was the woman named Yun Yan yesterday? The daughter of Yun Mocheng and Li Suyu?" Hui'er suddenly asked.
Mu Xuening sighed, looked at Hui'er, and whispered: "Yan'er is indeed Suyu's daughter. Like Jingnan, she is a child with a rough life, so I hope you can..."
"Haha, Li Suyu's daughter!" Hui'er's eyes suddenly turned sharp and she sneered, "What the eldest princess means is that the sixth prince likes Li Suyu's daughter? Haha, how is this possible!"
Mu Xuening frowned slightly. She took Hui'er's hand and whispered: "I don't know what Jingnan is thinking. The child hides it too deeply. But Suyu was innocent in what happened back then. Don't let it happen because of it."
I am angry at Yan'er because of this incident, Yan'er is a very good child."
"Eldest Princess, Li Suyu is innocent, but what about our young lady? She was betrayed by her best friend and executed by the man he loved most. Who else is as innocent as her?!" Huier complained, tears falling from her eyes.
The scars left by the years have not faded away.
With a slight sigh, Mu Xuening looked outside, with a trace of sadness on her face. She really didn't want to recall what happened back then, betrayal, pain, wrong love... But it turned out that so many years had passed.
night
In Suxuan Pavilion, the room was dark, without any light. The room was eerily silent. Only one person's breathing could be heard vaguely. It was low and subtle, as if it could dissipate at any time.
There was no moonlight tonight. The woman on the bed was lying there, looking at the night outside through the open window. The sky was sinking tightly, and everything in the world seemed to be wrapped up by this piece of cloth.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in the house. Yunyan turned her eyes slightly and looked at the direction of the sound. Was it Bishui? However, before she could speak, a faint aroma of wine filled the air.
.
The footsteps were very light, but it was not intentional, but because the person who came was extremely skilled in martial arts, his footsteps were lighter than others.
"Who?" Yun Yan frowned and whispered.
At this time, a dark figure walked to the cabinet. Looking at the woman on the bed, he sat directly on the table next to him without speaking.
Looking at the dark figure sitting at the table, Yun Yan's expression tightened. It was him. She pursed her lips and said coldly: "What are you doing here?"
Taking a deep breath, a wry smile appeared on Mu Jingnan's face. Did he want to shut him out as soon as he saw it? But hearing her angry voice made him feel relieved. At least it proved her injury.
A little better.
"Are you feeling better?" Mu Jingnan hesitated for a moment and finally asked. His voice was hoarse, as if something was stuck in his throat. His hair was messy and hanging down, and he looked a little embarrassed.
There is no trace of the style of the six kings of the past, but no one can see clearly in the dark night.
Hearing this voice, Yun Yan frowned. She turned her face away, looked at the bed, and whispered, "Have you been drinking?" At this point, her hands clenched unconsciously.
"You don't like the smell of wine? Don't worry, I'll leave as soon as I finish speaking." Mu Jingnan said in a low voice.
Yun Yan frowned, but she still said: "What do you want to say? There seems to be nothing left to say between us."
Smiling to himself, Mu Jingnan looked at the woman on the bed. He could vaguely see her current appearance. Now she didn't even want to look at him? Has he already disgusted her so much? Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but
Closed up.
"My mother is not actually a palace maid, she is Mu Yangtian's concubine - Concubine Yu. I also had the happiest time in my life. At that time, my father's love and mother's love, all the halo fell on me, Taifu
The masters all said that I was gifted and worthy of being the leader, and my mother and concubine were also proud of me, but I thought I was the one who stood out among all the stars..."
Hearing this, Yun Yan frowned. She glanced at him in surprise. He... suddenly thought of something. She interrupted him and said, "Why are you telling me this?"
