He found himself standing on a busy sky street with lanterns everywhere, just like on New Year's Eve.
Suddenly, a shout came from not far away: "Your Majesty is coming out!"
Everyone hurriedly pushed forward until they reached the flower tower.
He surged forward along with the flow of people and squeezed in the crowd.
The gongs and drums were beaten, and the group slowly went up to the flower tower.
The man at the head was wearing a dragon robe, and he was the false emperor. After taking two steps, he turned back and extended his hand to the woman behind him.
The woman's beautiful face and beautiful face were none other than Xu Si.
——No, she is older than Xu Si, more handsome and more gorgeously dressed.
The false emperor took Xu Si's hand and entered the flower building. The two of them talked and laughed and looked at the lights.
But he noticed that there was another person next to him. Compared to Xu Si's gorgeousness, she was dressed simply and neatly. She wore a narrow-sleeved Hu suit and a warm red color, but she looked like a lone crane in the crowd. Her face was covered with half of
The other half of the mask is exposed without makeup, but it is still beautiful.
He heard someone whispering next to him.
"That's Concubine Xu! She's so beautiful! No wonder Your Majesty obeys her every word."
"Beauty is a curse. If you weren't so beautiful, how could you be so obsessed with Your Majesty that you don't know right from wrong?"
"Daji from Shang Dynasty, Meixi from Xia Dynasty, Baosi from Zhou Dynasty...such a witch is a disaster to the country."
"I heard that Liu Zhaoyi was thrown into the cold palace because she offended Concubine Xu."
"There was also Qi Cairen, who was pregnant with the dragon seed and died unexpectedly..."
"Did you see the woman next to Concubine Xu? That's her sister. I heard that her face was scratched because of jealousy in Dongjiang Palace."
"Vicious! She has many accomplices in the bad things that Concubine Xu did."
"Fortunately, the face is bad, otherwise it would be another pair of Zhao sisters."
"Princess Mingzhu, why was such a good title given to her..."
No, it's not. He said in his heart, you are all wrong, she is not like this.
But he couldn't open his mouth, he could only watch them pointing and whispering, with expressions full of disdain and hatred.
The flower street faded away suddenly, and the next moment, the sky was filled with yellow sand. He was standing on the roadside holding his horse.
A Xuantie Guard came galloping towards him and reported to him: "Sir, they are going to Liangchuan."
Liangchuan, he looked up and saw the faint outline of the town exposed in the yellow sand.
He got on his horse and said, "Let's go."
Next to him, Mr. Qin finished talking to someone and came over to ask for instructions: "Young Master, they discovered Fang Yi's whereabouts. This boy has been ordered by the Crown Prince to hunt you down."
He replied disdainfully: "Don't worry about him for the time being. If he dares to follow me, I'll tell him to never come back."
"yes."
He drove through the long stretches of yellow sand, arrived at the border town, and opened the door of the inn.
He watched her dressed in red, her face still covered with half of the mask, walking towards him from the yellow sand - as she passed him, she glanced at her indifferently without stopping at all.
Later, he saw a raging fire burning around her, blood dripping from her neck, and she was lying there lifelessly.
He rushed in and saw that her eyes were empty and her anger was gradually escaping. The mask fell down, and the half of her face hidden underneath was covered with deep scars. You can imagine how much strength she used to cut it down.
His heart tightened with pain, and he finally called out her name: "Xu Yin——"
Yan Ling suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw was the tent of hundreds of sons and thousands of grandsons above his head.
The candlelight came through, and the surroundings were quiet and peaceful. There was no yellow sand or firelight.
"What's wrong?" Xu Yin was woken up by him and asked drowsily.
Seeing her lying alive next to her, Yan Ling's heart slowly fell back.
"It's okay, I had a dream."
Xu Yin yawned: "What did you dream about? You were so scared."
Only then did Yan Ling realize that there was cold sweat all over his forehead.
He exhaled, took her into his arms, and said, "It's a very strange dream. I dreamed that your sister became a concubine, and you were disfigured and wore half a mask."
After saying that, he found Xu Yin looking directly at him in his arms.
"What, what's wrong?"
"Tell me about it." Xu Yin was no longer sleepy, so she pulled him and asked, "What kind of dream was it specifically?"
So Yan Ling told her the scene in the dream, and joked at the end: "It's really baffling. Forget about other things, I haven't even seen that Fang Yi. He still followed my elder brother's order to chase me. It's too much."
Outrageous."
Finding that Xu Yin was not smiling, he asked with concern: "What's wrong? You're not scared, are you? The false emperor is dead. These are impossible things."
Xu Yin raised his head and asked him: "Have you ever thought about what would have happened if I hadn't discovered that Fang Yi had evil intentions?"
"Well……"
"What you dream about may become reality."
Yan Ling did not deny what she said, but only reassured: "Don't think about such hypothetical things anymore. Everything is fine now! Everyone who deserves to die is dead, and those who deserve to live are alive."
This is true, anyway, this life has changed, and the pain and despair will not happen again.
Seeing her smile again, Yan Ling felt relieved and came over to kiss her.
"Those people are really ignorant. Princess Pearl, I think this title is very good! You are the most precious Pearl in my heart. I hope you will shine brightly and let the world know how precious you are, but I also hope to hide you."
, just so that I can see it - how about asking my father to change your account?"
Xu Yin laughed at what he said.
In her previous life, she asked for the title Mingzhu because she wanted to disgust Wei Si, but she never took it seriously. A title she got by betraying her through her sister was inherently dirty, so how could she feel good about it?
But now, after he said it like this, I suddenly felt relieved.
What's disgusting is the false emperor, those who harmed them, what does it have to do with a title? She was originally a pearl, the apple of her father's eye, the jewel he had hidden in his heart for two lifetimes.
"Remember what you said today. If you change your mind in the future, don't think I'm a fool."
Yan Ling said: "If that's the case, I just have fish eyes and can't tell what a treasure is."
Xu Yin couldn't help but smile and took the initiative to put his arms around him.
Yan Ling looked outside. It was a long winter night and there was still no light, so she couldn't help but feel ready to make a move.
"It's still early, how about we..."
Xu Yin felt it and immediately retracted into the quilt: "I want to sleep."
"Why should I sleep when I'm so energetic? It's already around this time, so let's do morning exercises."
Xu Yin was amused by him: "What morning exercise? Who takes this as morning exercise? Are you shameless?"
"No, no, I want you." Yan Ling shamelessly shrank into the quilt, "Come on, it's such a cold day, you need to move to keep yourself warm."
If he disagreed again, he would tell him all his weird reasons. Xu Yin stopped talking and indulged his presumption.
The new house became quiet, with only intermittent sounds.
The dragon and phoenix candles were lit all night and finally burned out.
