Chapter 2

12 years ago, Duan Tianya.

The name Duantianya also has its origin. It is said that there is a cliff on the east side of the mountain.

Jiang Yufei stood on the top of the cliff, her face frosty, with corpses all over the ground behind her, blood flowing like a river.Mu Qiushui was dressed in white clothes beside her, and the sleeves of the clothes fluttering in the wind were dotted with red plums, which made that beautiful woman's face extremely delicate and charming like the setting sun.

Jiang Yufei put the sword back into its sheath and said, "I'm going to enter the palace."

Mu Qiushui frowned when he heard that, his face full of displeasure, "You promised Ye Li."

"Yeah." Jiang Yufei looked up at the leisurely white clouds in the sky, her gaze was flat.

The Jiang family was gone, and the Lou family was chasing them again. Many people in the Jianghu were misled by rumors and came to hunt her down. It was difficult for her to find another way other than entering the palace.

Mu Qiushui took off his robe, wrapped the spear with it, walked to the edge of the cliff, let go of his hand, let the spear fall, disappeared behind the mist between the cliffs, and said back: "From now on, there will be no more Mu Chunqiu, only Mu Qiushui, I will accompany you into the palace."

Jiang Yufei looked at him, her eyes were calm, and said calmly: "No, my life and death are up to me."

"What if you die?!" Mu Qiushui said anxiously.He tried to control his emotions, and explained softly: "Jiang Yufei, you are not a god, you can trust me, our purpose is the same. If you die, I will not be able to complete revenge, I must enter the palace with you .”

"Li Wuhui will follow me." Jiang Yufei replied with lowered eyelashes.

"But his surname is no longer Jiang." Mu Qiushui murmured, while Jiang Yufei remained silent.

Back then, in order to survive in the world, the four aristocratic families often married. After several dynasties, they still maintained the aristocratic demeanor and were admired by the world.

However, as the saying goes, house thieves are hard to guard against.

The Lou family rebelled in the troubled times and colluded with the rebels, and the Jiang, Mu, and He clans were almost wiped out.

Only Jiang Yufei, the next head of the Jiang family who was studying martial arts in Dongshan, remained.

Only Mu Qiushui survived in the Mu family.The Patriarch of the He family had a daughter in his later years, and regarded it as a treasure, and her daughter's life and death are also unknown.

The family with hundreds of years of experience collapsed overnight.The servant of the Jiang family, Jiang Yi, rebelled, and the Mu family rebelled. He Ming, the younger brother of the head of the He family, killed all his blood relatives, asking only for his life.

A century-old family is about to be annihilated in the long river of history.

Seeing that she was silent, Mu Qiushui raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said proudly, "Isn't it better to have me? I can do many things."

Jiang Yufei suddenly asked, "How did you escape?" Mu Qiushui's expression froze, and he said unnaturally.

"Of course it depends on my uncle's ability."

Indeed, it would be safer if you were there. "Jiang Yufei didn't ask any further questions, she just said this, seeming to agree.

"You agree!?" Mu Qiushui said happily, "I guarantee that with me, any surprise attack will fail."

Mu Qiushui's words are very crazy, there are so many secrets in the palace, those who can be seen can be frightening, and those who can't be seen are probably dead if they know about it, but Mu Qiushui has the right to be arrogant.

On the face of it, the Mu family is an official, and almost all the children of the family have entered the imperial examination, but they have carried out assassination activities in private. The young Patriarch of the Mu family took over the real family business of the Mu family.It was indeed safer to have Mu Qiushui around.

Jiang Yufei smiled, and said meaningfully: "If you insist on being with me, would you like to pretend to be a woman?"

Mu Qiushui opened her eyes wide, stared at her in surprise and said, "Are you kidding?! How can I wear women's clothes?" Jiang Yufei played with the scabbard without raising her head, "Aren't you very skilled?"

"How do you know!?" Mu Qiushui was really surprised at this moment. He was also in the same house at the beginning. In order to escape for his life, he escaped by pretending to be a servant boy. No one told him because of the embarrassment.

Jiang Yufei didn't answer, just looked at him with a half-smile.

"We are allies, how could you deceive me like this?" Mu Qiushui was displeased.

"If you want to die as soon as you enter the palace." Jiang Yufei said lightly.

"That lunatic! Does he want to kill any good-looking person around you?" Mu Qiushui said angrily.

He is really angry, he also knows Ye Li.Because he had a marriage contract with Jiang Yufei, that guy secretly hired many killers to kill him, but it caused him a lot of trouble.

Moreover, Ye Li was rather cold and cold, but he had low self-esteem, so he did kill many brothers who were close to Jiang Yufei.

He was the one who killed Jiang Ke.

"Maybe." Jiang Yufei said, her tone was strange, and her heart was a little sour.

Mu Qiushui had no choice but to say, "I promise." After all, he was saving his life, after all, who knows what that lunatic Ye Li will do.

"Then we will leave soon."

Mu Qiushui said weakly: "Yes."

The sunshine outside the window is just right, and the birds in the morning are singing the song of announcing the dawn.

Xiao Yi, who was being chased by evil spirits, heard a call from afar, looked up, and a circle of light directly above gradually expanded, and the overflowing light enveloped her whole body, and the dream collapsed instantly.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, wake up." The little maid beside the bed called anxiously.

Xiao Yi, who just woke up, opened her hazy eyes and muttered, "What time is it?"

"Your Highness, it's almost time." Xiao Yi instantly felt a basin of cold water pouring down her head, she hurriedly got up to wash herself, and ran out of the palace, ignoring the anxious maidservant beside her.

The palace was beyond imagination, and Xiao Yi was running around like a headless fly.Facing the unfamiliar road ahead, she stopped and got lost.

She forgot.She has never been out of Fengqi Palace for ten years, and she has never known about this palace where she has lived for more than ten years.

She couldn't help being at a loss, what was she coming to this world for?The complicated thoughts last night only made her understand that maybe she should hug Jiang Yufei's thigh?

"Your Highness." The maidservant who came running behind gasped, "Your Majesty has told you not to let His Highness see you off. Your Highness does not need to worry. Please go back to the palace with your maid."

Hearing the servant girl's words, Xiao Yi looked at her blankly.It was only then that she realized that she had never looked at the little maid beside her. It turned out that she had a baby face, big eyes, and tender skin. She was wearing a pink double-breasted long skirt. The maid seemed to be twiddling her fingers nervously.Xiao Yi smiled, hoping to relieve her tension.

"What's your name?" The little maid replied with her big moist eyes blinking, "Thanks to your mother's love, I named you Bixi."

"Oh"

"Your Highness, let's go back to the palace. Mammy will be worried if His Highness can't be found, and the servant girl can't bear the responsibility. Let's go back quickly." Before Xiao Yi could reply, there was a cold voice from behind.

"The lowly servant girl who came here, called His Highness indiscriminately. Who dares to pretend to be the prince, is it too long?"

Xiao Yi turned her head and looked, only to see a long line of chariots disappearing around the corner.The head of the dark person is a beautiful-looking woman with a charming figure, a pair of slender red phoenix eyes under the willow-leaf eyebrows, which are very attractive, the tear mole dotted under the left eye is even more romantic, and the lips are bright, seeming to be seductive. She tasted like a person, with fair skin, and the red embroidered and gold-painted dress made her figure even more slender.

Bixi stepped forward to salute. "Every lady, Jin An, how dare someone impersonate the prince, please be careful. This is His Royal Highness, the prince has been weak since he was a child, and has lived in the deep palace for a long time." He said with a smile.

"I don't think you have a chance to see the empresses. The prince is benevolent and filial. Hearing that the empress has moved to the palace, I came here to see you off. I never wanted to meet all the empresses. The servant girl just invited the prince back to the palace." After finishing speaking, he stepped aside. The scene is not something for a lowly servant girl like her to interrupt, if she says more, she will be caught.

"This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Has your health improved recently? I've been hearing from my sister that the Prince's Hall is weak. If you don't see guests, I won't be able to see them either."

The woman next to Concubine Li spoke, her voice was soft and melodious, making one feel the breeze caressing the face of the oriole in spring.Her face is pale, her eyebrows and eyes are slightly curved, showing her natural fragility, her thin body, the willow leaves supported by the wind, she is wearing a moon-white long-sleeved dress with a slender waist and half of her wrists exposed at the cuffs, and her skin is as creamy as fat. A stunning beauty with no wind, this is the soft concubine who is the most favored in the Sixth Palace.

"Your Highness is young, with a restless mind but not allowed to leave the palace, do you feel lonely?" Concubine Rou's voice was low, her brows were slightly frowned, her face was sad.

"I have also come to see you at home, but my sister rejected me many times, and she blamed me for being useless, so she didn't come again." As she spoke, tears slipped down like broken beads, and the beauty wept like a picture scroll, which made people worrying.

"Your Highness, please don't blame my sister. My sister is also a loving mother. If you want to blame me, it's my fault."

Xiao Yi looked at her self-directed and self-acted with a dazed expression, and cursed in her heart, what are you doing, girl?I haven't said yet?Why are you wronged for me, why are you playing so much in your heart.

Concubine Li next to her saw Concubine Rou crying, she raised her brows and said angrily, "Sister, don't wrong yourself."

Why are you wronged, I am still wronged, Xiao Yi slandered in her heart.Concubine Li comforted Concubine Rou who was sobbing softly, and turned to look at Xiao Yi with an inexplicable expression.

"Your Majesty, we don't know anyone, who knows who you are." Concubine Li's eyes were stern. Interrogation."

Xiao Yi looked confused and asked what I did.Bixi beside her was flustered, and she couldn't help shouting: "Ms. Concubine Rou."

Concubine Rou gave her an aggrieved look with tears in her eyes, covered her face with a handkerchief, stretched out Rou Yi and tugged at Concubine Li's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Sister, sister just feels sorry for His Highness's lonely life."

His eyes flicked across Xiao Yi's body, and his misty eyes were sparkling, as if they contained deep meaning.

Then he said: "Little sister, don't misunderstand, who dares to pretend to be the prince in the palace, and saw this maid talking with sister's nanny a few days ago, he is naturally His Royal Highness the prince."

Concubine Li sighed helplessly, "You, my sister is kind-hearted, but his identity is unknown, how can I let him go."

Standing aside, Eunuch Wei hesitated and pinched his throat cautiously and asked, "Your Majesty, look at this..."

Concubine Li sternly said to Eunuch Wei: "Don't let someone arrest you." The low-ranking concubines in the back whispered earnestly.Eunuch Wei stood up straight and was about to call someone.

A figure appeared in the distance, against the light, a voice came slowly.

"Your Highness." After a few breaths, her face gradually became clear, and it was Mammy.

The old mother glanced at the densely packed sedan chair in front of her, and said in a short way: "This old slave greets Concubine Rou, Concubine Li, Concubine Li."

He took a step forward and asked with a serious face, "What happened?" Duke Wei shrank his neck and stepped aside, not daring to make a sound, Concubine Li's arrogance dissipated in a blink of an eye, and the concubine behind her also lowered her eyebrows and remained silent.

Concubine Rou wiped away the tears on her face with a handkerchief and said: "Mommy, it's all my fault, it's just a misunderstanding." Please Concubine Rou listen to this old slave's advice."

"You don't have to worry about it, Mammy, please tell me."

"Your Majesty, just do your part. If you shouldn't think about it, please put it down as soon as possible. The old slave will leave." After saying that, she pulled Xiao Yi, who was completely stunned, to leave. Keeping up with the footsteps of the old mother, only leaving the mournful look of Concubine Rou behind.

The old mother's words were very impolite, but Concubine Li didn't dare to stand out, she just said, "I will send you off to Your Majesty today, I guess all the sisters are tired, go back to the palace to rest." Wei Gonggong understood, and shouted: "Get up on the sedan chair. .”

The sedan chair spread out, and on the way back to the palace, Concubine Rou said in a daze: "Zizhu, do you think I'm delusional?" Concubine Rou looked at the letter in her hand, rubbing the writing on it lightly with her fingertips, the handwriting was exposed, Bitter, just like the master of the word.

"The servant girl doesn't know."

"Oh, really?"

Concubine Rou dissipated into the air with a soft and confused voice, her inexplicable expression made people wonder if she let go of her delusions or was planning something.
