Murong Shen slowly lit the fire candle, blew out the fire fold, and sat under the candlelight. Then he opened the bamboo tube and took out the note.
Murong Shen's eyes glanced over and landed on the four words Miss Zhao Liu.
As the flames swayed, those four words seemed to float, transforming into a beautiful face, staring at him across a distance of time and space.
When I met her for the first time, at the grand banquet in full view of everyone, the vulgar Zhou Sui actually refused the beauty he rewarded and said proudly: "The emperor has all the beauties in the world, but I, Zhou Sui, only have one. However, this is the only one."
One is enough to surpass thousands of beauties."
At that time, he was smiling on his face, but scornful in his heart.
What kind of beauties could this Zhou Sui, who was born into a bandit and committed a lot of murders, have by his side? He snatched some vulgar powder from who knows where, but treated it as a treasure and showed it off in front of everyone. It was extremely ridiculous!
Zhou Sui took advantage of the wine and shouted: "Come here, call Zhao Xiyan and ask her to play a song."
Zhao Xiyan, this name is quite good.
He thought casually.
Then, a figure of a woman in white came forward gracefully, bowed her head and raised her head with bright eyes like autumn water.
At that moment, his heart, which had never beaten for any woman before, was beating fiercely.
The charming-looking woman in white was sitting in front of the guqin, gently plucking the strings with her bare hands. The sound of the piano was like a gurgling stream, sloping from her white fingertips and flowing into the bottom of his heart.
His heart beat violently again.
As if she had a telepathic connection, she raised her head and glanced at him from a distance. There was a touch of sadness and lightness in her clear and bright eyes.
The anger in his heart suddenly surged. This anger was of course directed at Zhou Sui.
This bastard bandit had somehow insulted her. She was like a rare piece of jade, soaked in ink with a trace of undue stain.
This is his woman, God has sent her to him, and he will never allow her to suffer any further injustice.
As the emperor, he rewarded Zhou Sui with ten beauties, and "replaced" her into the palace in a domineering and arrogant manner. He did not take Zhou Sui's anger and injustice to heart.
Giving Qingzhou as a fiefdom to Zhou Sui was originally an expedient measure. He was going to kill Zhou Sui sooner or later. What's the harm in doing it a few years earlier for Zhao Xiyan?
After living for thirty years, he finally tasted the taste of love. Since Zhao Xiyan entered the palace, he has never touched another woman, and he only has her in his eyes and heart.
There is someone else in her heart, of course he knows. He doesn't care too much, there is nothing to argue with a boy who has been dead for many years. One day, she will completely forget Xu Jing.
He never expected that after Zhou Sui died, she would commit suicide by taking poison.
He burst into tears beside the bed, holding her body without warmth tightly, crying and begging her to come back to life.
But she never woke up again. She just left forever. He often dreamed of her, and every time in the dream, she turned around silently and walked away. No matter how much he begged, she refused to stay.
She became his inner demon and tormented him for several years. Later, at the age of thirty-eight, he fell seriously ill. When he was dying, he was still thinking about whether there would be an afterlife and whether he could meet her again.
God was wise and allowed him to be reborn.
He is determined to win her and will never let her go.
Xu Jing went to Jizhou, and most of the unsightly soldiers of Beihai Palace followed him. The prince was not in the capital, his father Murong Yao was not in the capital, Emperor Yongming was addicted to women, there was chaos inside and outside the court, and people were uneasy.
The Zhao family was heavily guarded, and she rarely left the house. Occasionally she left the house and there were many soldiers. It was absolutely impossible to take her away quietly.
Fortunately, the Ye family is here.
This is his best chance to take action.
He squinted his eyes, tapped the table with his fingers, and quickly made up his mind, called a few soldiers, and whispered a few instructions.
These soldiers were all Murong Shen's confidants. No matter how absurd the master's order was, the soldiers would not change their expressions and quietly accepted the order to retreat.
Everything was arranged properly, Murong Shen slowly exhaled, twitched the corners of his lips, and murmured: "Xiyan, we will get together soon."
…
Zhao Xiyan frowned and turned over in her sleep.
After a while, Zhao Xiyan opened her eyes.
Yuhan rubbed her sleepy eyes and yawned: "It's not yet dawn, miss, would you like to sleep a little longer?"
Zhao Xiyan was awakened by the nightmare and had lost her sleep. She said casually: "Well, you should sleep too!"
Hosta responded vaguely and soon fell asleep again.
Zhao Xiyan closed her eyes and lay quietly for an hour. She waited until dawn before getting up to wash and dress.
Seventh cousin Zhao Queyu flew in like a little magpie, with a cute and cute smile in the morning light: "Sixth cousin, today my mother is going to Puji Temple to burn incense, my elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are going, and I plan to go too. You want to
Don’t you want to go and relax together?”
Zhao Xiyan pursed her lips and smiled and said: "There are many people in the temple. I like peace and quiet, so I won't go."
She knew very well that Murong Shen's people had been secretly watching her. She was extremely cautious when traveling. It was best not to go to places like Puji Temple where there were many strange faces.
Zhao Queyu didn't know what was going on, so he shook her arm and said coquettishly: "Go ahead, go ahead! What's the point of being bored at home all day? Let's bring more servants to protect us, that's all."
Zhao Xiyan smiled and coaxed her little cousin: "You go and play, I will make some delicious food at home and wait for you to come back in the evening to eat together."
Zhao Xiyan looks gentle, but is actually tough and very independent.
Zhao Queyu had no choice but to give up, pouting unhappily.
Zhao Xiyan smiled and took a gemstone necklace and put it around Zhao Queyu's neck: "This gemstone necklace is so bright that it makes Miss Zhao Qi's skin look like cream, and her beauty is unparalleled."
Zhao Queyu burst into laughter and said, "My cousin is here to coax me again. With my cousin here, I am like a little sparrow. How can I have unparalleled beauty?"
He looked in the mirror and liked it very much: "This gemstone necklace is so beautiful. Sixth cousin, I'll borrow it for one day and then return it to you."
Zhao Xiyan smiled and said: "I gave it to you, you don't have to pay it back."
"It's so embarrassing to always take things from my cousin." Zhao Queyu said with a smile, "I must return this."
After a few jokes, Zhao Queyu left happily.
Zhao Xiyan went to the study room, mixed colors, painted, and had fun.
In the evening, Zhao Queyu came back and returned the necklace as expected.
Seeing her pretty face, Zhao Xiyan couldn't help but laugh: "Didn't you go out to play? Why are you looking so angry? Who provoked you?"
Zhao Queyu said angrily: "Forget it. When I went to Puji Temple today, I met Mrs. Murong, Murong Yan, and her daughter. Mrs. Murong was so arrogant that she deliberately embarrassed my mother and two sisters-in-law."
"And that Murong Yan is even more hateful and annoying. He says some harsh and unpleasant words in front of everyone. It makes me so angry!"
