Red Robe

After a long silence, he said, "It's time to go."

Before dawn, the courtiers were already waiting in the Yuanzheng Hall.

Today the dragon chair is still empty, only a eunuch is standing beside it, and the princess is still sitting behind the curtain.

After the morning court, Li Qingning went to Jinlin Palace again.

Li Zaiyu was still lying on the bed, looking sickly, and his complexion became more and more ugly, it was obvious that he had already been cured.

But Master Li still gave him the injection, and he has been taking care of Li Zaiyu these days, his eyes are swollen to the point that he can't open them, and he seems to have aged a lot.

Li Qingning entered the room, and said calmly: "How is the emperor feeling today?"

Li Zaiyu's ears were buzzing, and he could only vaguely hear someone asking questions.

When Mr. Li gave the last needle, he stared suddenly, and his blocked five senses seemed to be a little cleared.

Li Zaiyu became more and more afraid, how could he not be afraid, drug addiction attacks became more frequent, and his waking time became shorter and shorter.

He thought to himself that he was afraid that he was going to die.

Master Li looked at Li Qingning and shook his head slightly.

Li Qingning sat beside her for a long time, her eyes fixed on the person lying on the bed.

It's time to say something.

Chapter 111

111

Li Zaiyu panted heavily, and coughed weakly from time to time, as if he was suffering from tuberculosis.

It's a pity that his illness is much more severe than tuberculosis, and in the future, he may fall asleep forever.

Li Qingning sat on the side and watched, watching Master Li go to the needle on his body.

Before Li Zaiyu ascended the throne, she had seen many lives and deaths.

This huge imperial palace is undoubtedly a huge cage, if people are to be trapped in it, everyone inside is like a trapped beast, they can only bite and fight.

If you don't fight, you may end up worse than the beast in the cage.

In this way, how dare she not fight, how dare she not fight for a fight.

But even after Li Zaiyu ascended the throne, she never thought that she would come to this field with him.

Looking back, I just feel that Baiyun Canggou, everything is already very different from before.

But what has not changed is this cage-like palace.But now, only her and Li Zaiyu are the only trapped beasts fighting in the arena.

She was silent for a long time, watching Master Li straighten Li Zaiyu's skirt, and then he gently lifted the brocade and put it on Li Zaiyu's shoulder.

Master Li turned his head and glanced at Li Qingning, his eyes were swollen as if they were closed, making it difficult to see his eyes clearly.

Perhaps because he was so anxious and busy that he even forgot to drink water, his lips were as dry as Li Zaiyu's.

Master Li's dry lips moved, but in the end he didn't say a word. He hesitated to speak for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh.

Li Qingning withdrew the gaze that fell on Li Zaiyu, turned her head to look at Master Li, raised her chin slightly, and signaled him to go out.

Master Li understood, and took another deep look at the person lying on the bed, then bowed and retreated outside the door.

The door creaked shut, and only Li Qingning and Li Zaiyu were left in the room.

For some reason, Li Qingning's eyes were blurred, everything was changing suddenly, and she sank all over, as if falling into the deep sea.

However, she didn't feel cold, nor did she feel water dripping from her body.

It was only when her vision gradually became clear that she realized that she was about to see the scenes of her previous life.

This time, it wasn't the man in red that captivated her that appeared in front of her eyes. There were many figures with blurred faces in her sight, and one of them had a particularly clear face, which was Li Zaiyu.

She hadn't seen the events of her previous life for a long time, and she thought she would never think about it again, but unexpectedly, she suddenly bumped into the memory of her previous life again.

At that time, Li Zaiyu was already terminally ill, but it was a pity that not only her, but also Li Wuyin and several powerful ministers were guarding the Jinlin Palace.

In a daze, Li Qingning saw Li Zaiyu raise his hand with difficulty, and that hand seemed to be pointing at her.

But just as he raised his hand a little, it was pressed down by Li Wuyin, and fell back to the original place heavily.

With a gloomy expression, she watched Li Wuyin approach Li Zaiyu's ear, but Li Wuyin didn't speak to Li Zaiyu, but looked sideways at her, with a gloomy expression, and asked her to make it easy for her.

She realized that she was standing still, and said calmly: "Is the imperial nephew trying to say something to His Majesty that I can't hear?"

But Li Wuyin said: "Isn't my nephew worried that I can't control it for a while, so I dragged my aunt into the same boat?"

Li Qingning originally thought that Li Wuyin would not do anything, but who knows, she avoided it, and when she was standing outside the Jinlin Palace waiting, she suddenly heard someone shouting inside——

"Your Majesty is controlling the dragon!"

The scene suddenly changed, the officials and concubines of the harem all knelt outside the hall, watching the eunuch take out a will.

Kneeling in the crowd, she just felt that everything was quite weird, Li Zaiyu couldn't even hold his pen, how could he write the will, could it be that the will was written before?

Unexpectedly, the eunuch said that according to His Majesty's intention, she should read this edict.

What a mockery, she stepped forward and took the imperial decree.

Perhaps in the previous life, he didn't realize that there was anything wrong with that handwriting, but now he finds out——

That's not a word of honor.

Although very similar, it is not.

Li Qingning thought in a daze, that was copied by Li Wuyin, that volume of will is fake!

In the previous life, I didn't think the handwriting was weird, but when I opened the edict, I felt my pupils tremble.

Li Qingning suddenly came back to her senses, and when she woke up, she realized that she was in the Jinlin Palace. There was only her and Li Zaiyu in this room, and there was no third person.

No wonder in this life she was always secretly paying attention to Li Zaiyu's words, probably she figured it out before she died in her previous life.

Li Qingning lowered her eyes, the originally cold and indifferent gaze suddenly became complicated.

She had never felt pity for Li Zaiyu before, she only felt that he was to blame for everything.

But now, her heart was pulled so painfully.

He couldn't help thinking that when Li Zaiyu raised his hand in the Jinlin Palace in his previous life, he wanted to say something to her.

Whether to ask for help, or to explain something to her.

Li Qingning closed her eyes and took a slow breath.

But now everything is irreversible, can she save Li Zaiyu, she can't, Li Zaiyu will die if he continues to take the scorpion tail vine, and he will die if he runs off the soup.

Can't be saved, can't be kept.

However, Li Qingning thought again, what she saw just now seemed to be different from what she knew.

The one who ascended to the emperor first in the previous life knew her clearly, and Li Wuyin only took that position after her death...

Did she read the imperial decree?

About is not.

Li Qingning frowned and thought about it, but she didn't think of anything.She only felt a severe headache, as if she was about to grasp the clue, but her hands were like the wind, and she didn't hold anything.

After Mr. Li administered the needle, Li Zaiyu could gradually hear some voices clearly and see some things.

He tilted his head slightly, and finally exhaled a foul breath.

Li Qingning said indifferently: "Brother Huang."

Li Zaiyu opened his lips and said hoarsely after a long time: "Today...how is it?"

Li Qingning said: "It's not very different from yesterday."

"National teacher...but still on Tianshitai." Li Zaiyu's voice was almost silent.

Li Qingning moved closer, fearing that Li Zaiyu could not hear the voice clearly, "That's right, the national teacher is still at the Tianshitai."

"That scorpion tail vine..." Li Zaiyu murmured again.

Li Qingning's lips moved, as if her heart had been gouged out by a knife, but she still felt a little pain.

She said softly: "Brother, listen to me."

Li Zaiyu widened his cloudy and red eyes, as if he wanted to see her more clearly, "Tell me."

"Helicopterus vine has no solution. If you stop using the decoction, the toxins in your body will gradually disappear, but drug addiction will torture you for half a year." Li Qingning looked cold and said every word very slowly.

Li Zaiyu's throat was full of eager breaths, as if he couldn't breathe, he stretched out his arm from the brocade quilt, as if he wanted to lift it, but he didn't have much strength.

Li Qingning stretched out her hand to cover the back of his hand, and then said: "But the poison of the scorpion vine will eat the internal organs, and the toxin can be cured, but the wounds to the internal organs will not heal."

"Brother..." Li Zaiyu's hand was still trembling just now, but it stopped suddenly after hearing these words.

His eyes trembled for a moment, and then he didn't move.

Li Qingning grabbed his hand, and then opened her tightly closed lips, "Brother Huang, do you know what I found this morning."

Li Zaiyu didn't speak, as if he was too stunned to recover.

"Some time ago, I sent Shadow to Fengxian City, and Shadow reported back that King Fengxian stayed in the palace's dormitory for several days." Li Qingning spoke very slowly.

She paused for a moment, then said again: "This matter is somewhat strange, last night I ordered someone to investigate King Fengxian's personal soldiers, none of them stayed in Fengxian City."

Li Qingning narrowed her phoenix eyes, but she couldn't bear to look at the expression on Li Zaiyu's face. She closed her eyes and said, "Brother Huang must have something to ask, yes, Shadow reported back, saying that a soldier beside King Fengxian, Pretending to be a groom, he went with the caravan to the country of Tona."

She opened her eyes after she finished speaking, and there was a trace of pity in her eyes, "Brother Huang also knows what this means, so I will mention the matter of the national teacher again."

Only then did Li Zaiyu move his dry eyes, and his breath involuntarily became much weaker.

"In the past few days, the national teacher is indeed in the Tianshi platform, but the emperor knows what he has done." Li Qing said calmly.

"Tell me." Li Zaiyu said hoarsely.

Li Qingning's lips moved slightly: "Dongzhou is not as good as before, natural disasters continue, and the frontier is in danger repeatedly. Why is this?"

"Why..." Li Zaiyu said.

"The national teacher moved the dragon vein." Li Qingning paused every word.

How could Li Zaiyu not know what the dragon veins are? He wanted to raise his hand when he heard the words, but Li Qingning was pressing the back of his hand, and he couldn't lift it.

"Wuli Town is located at the end of the dragon's veins. It is a land of all blessings, but why the earthquake keeps shaking is because the tail of the dragon's veins is cut off." Li Qing said coldly.

She only paused for a moment, and then said: "All the spiritual energy in the world comes from the spiritual veins. The spiritual energy contained in the spiritual veins is undoubtedly immeasurable. If a person wants to ascend to the immortal path, he must have spiritual energy."

Li Zaiyu rolled his eyes and looked at the veil on the top absently.

Li Qingning said: "The emperor is dying, so he can easily borrow the dragon's veins, but if he wants to ascend to the sky, he needs one more thing."

"What?" Li Zaiyu's throat was dry and hoarse, as if it had been torn.

"It's luck." Li Qingning's voice was extremely calm, "The national teacher also touched the luck of the country."

Li Zaiyu's eyes were about to burst, and he opened his mouth wide as if he wanted to curse, but only a hoarse "ah, ah" came out of his throat.

Li Qingning said calmly: "King Feng Xian has indeed colluded with the Tuona country, and the national teacher will not let Dongzhou go. Now that Dongzhou is facing internal and external troubles, what can the emperor do?"

She didn't ask Li Zaiyu what his plans were, but what Li Zaiyu could do.

Li Zaiyu's chest heaved and heaved, his breathing was as fast as a fish struggling on the shore.

"You, you..." It took him a long time to say a complete sentence, "Why did you just, just say..."

Li Qingning said indifferently: "Brother Huang, why didn't you ask me why I know this?"

Li Zaiyu turned his head, wanting to see if the eldest princess, who was always cold and aloof, was as indifferent as usual.

Unexpectedly, his eyes could hardly see clearly again, and the person in front of him gradually appeared double.

He was dizzy and said hoarsely, "You, you..."

"I said earlier that I really lied to Brother Huang." Li Qingning said.

Li Zaiyu felt a spiritual energy slowly coming towards him in front of him, and he suddenly figured it out.

He was wrong again.

It was because Li Qingning was too good at hiding things, and it was also because he was too stupid.

Li Qingning was silent for a long time, and slowly withdrew her aura, "I have never used the Huan Ling Decoction and Rejuvenation Lotion given by the emperor."

"I see..." Li Zaiyu said hoarsely.

Li Qingning said indifferently: "If the national teacher is not destroyed, the country's fortune will be bad. If the country invades at this time, Dongzhou will definitely be defeated."

"You have an idea." Li Zaiyu said.

"Yes." Li Qingning raised the hand that was covering the back of Li Zaiyu's.

"Then if you are the one on the throne, what would you, what would you do..." Li Zaiyu forced his voice out of his throat with difficulty.

"Ping Fengxian, drive away foreign enemies and punish the national teacher." Li Qingning said.

Li Zaiyu's dry eyes were suddenly wet, the pupils were cloudy, but the tears were clear.

"C-Could it be...you can, can you protect this country?" He said extremely forcefully.

"Why not?" Li Qingning said.

Li Zaiyu said hoarsely: "Then what do you want, what do you want, what exactly do you want."

Li Qingning didn't say a word, her expression was as indifferent as melting snow.

Li Zaiyu raised his hand with difficulty, and stretched out his empty palm in front of her. He coughed until his whole body trembled, and even his hands couldn't stop shaking.

He said, "Take it, take it, take it all."

"Brother Huang knows what I want?" Li Qingning asked.

Li Zaiyu only raised his hand and said, "Take it all, take it all."

It took a long time for Li Qingning to leave the Jinlin Palace.

Master Li stood outside, with a lot of white hair on his head, he was standing upright, but he seemed to be on the verge of falling.

Li Qingning walked towards him, and said calmly: "During this period of time, please trouble your lord."

Master Li's eyes were red, although he didn't know what the two of them said in the room, but he could guess the general idea.

He choked up and said, "I hope His Highness will not fail His Majesty, nor Dongzhou."

"People don't let me down, how can I let people down." Li Qingning was as usual, lonely and cold like a flower on a mountain, as if she was so alienated from everyone.

She stepped up and went out, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw the eunuch who was always closely following Li Zaiyu.

Li Qingning couldn't help thinking of the past life that she had just remembered. It seemed that it was not him, but another person who made her read the imperial decree in the previous life.

That's weird.

Indistinctly, it seemed that he was about to catch some clues.

But there seemed to be a mess in her mind, which made her unable to make sense of it.

What is going on...

Li Qingning suddenly realized that in her previous life, Li Zaiyu raised his hand to her, maybe not asking for help, but wanting to say something to her.

Just now Li Zaiyu clearly raised his arm, his hand was empty, but it was the same place as he pointed to in his previous life.

She paused, and turned her head to look at the eunuch.

The eunuch was startled, and quickly ran towards her, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, do you have something to say to your servant?"

Li Qingning frowned and said, "Your Majesty has explained something."

The eunuch's eyes dodged, and he couldn't hide his astonished expression. He hesitated for a long time before saying: "Yes, Your Majesty said, you can only give something to His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess when the time comes."

Li Qingning understood in her heart that Li Wuyin had indeed made a mistake in her previous life, killed the king with her own hands, and wrote a fake will. Unexpectedly, Li Zaiyu had already figured out who to hand over this country to.

It's a pity that she didn't hold on to anything at that time.

In this world, we must not go the old way again.

In Yangning Palace, Xian Yu told Bai Tu about Shan Ling.

Bai Tu was shocked, "The mountain is broken?"

"It should have been pierced, I don't know what it is, I only know it is a beam of warm light, but Bo Yun said it was a mountain spirit." Xian Yu frowned.

"The mountain spirit is gone." Bai Tu said in a deep voice.

"How could it be gone so easily?" Xian Yu frowned.

Bai Tu said slowly: "The purple air in Wuli Town is sparse, and if the mountain spirits are not protected, they will easily be hurt."

"But how do you say that the mountain spirit is gone? If the mountain spirit is gone, what will happen to the dragon veins?" Xian Yu asked quickly.

Bai Tu was silent for a long time before he said, "If a hole is opened in a person's celestial spirit cover, can a person still live?"

Xian Yu shut up.

"I am afraid that the mountain spirit is resisting. The national teacher wanted to borrow the dragon veins and was blocked, so he simply attacked the mountain spirit." Bai Tu thought for a while, "If the mountain spirit is not there, I am afraid that the national teacher can borrow the entire dragon vein more easily. .”

"Then how can we stop it?" Xian Yu asked.

Bai Tu shrank his legs and said after a long time: "Wait for the old man to think about it."

"What are you thinking?" A cold voice suddenly sounded from afar.

Bai Tu couldn't help shrinking his legs even tighter, and closed his eyes, while holding his ears.

Xian Yu choked up, and turned her head to look at the people walking in the distance.

Li Qingning approached slowly, her eyes were very cold, even though she was dressed in black clothes like ink, she was not as cold as this mortal person.

It looks like a flower covered with ice and snow on a lofty mountain, and it looks like a moon reflected in the water.

It can only be seen from a distance, but cannot be touched.

But Xianyu wanted to pick flowers and catch the moon, she said: "I wonder if there are any flowers blooming in the palace at this time."

"What kind of flower?" Li Qingning said indifferently.

Xian Yu said softly, "Naturally, it's His Highness's plant."

Li Qingning's footsteps paused, her eyes involuntarily slanted to the side, and she glanced away from the corner of her eye.

As far as the eye can see, there is not even a maid in the palace.

Only then was she slightly relieved, but she still couldn't help frowning, and she glanced at the impolite person, "Do you know what time it is now?"

"The sun is rising, it's a good time for His Highness to come back." Xian Yu said cautiously.

Although Li Qingning was disturbed by the teasing, the gloom in her heart seemed to be swept away.

She said coldly: "Then you are quite elegant and know how to appreciate flowers."

Xian Yu smiled, "That's natural."

Li Qing stared at her deeply for a long time, really trying to find a way to keep this person from uttering teasing words.

Seeing her appearance like a bright moon shining alone, Xian Yu's heart suddenly felt itchy again.

As if the scar had healed and she forgot the pain, she still couldn't stop standing up, put her lips to Li Qingning's ear, and said in a low voice: "In my opinion, there is still one flower that can bloom in the palace, Your Highness." Would you like to see how the flower blooms?"

Think, Li Qingning said in her heart.

Chapter 112

112

The rabbit on the stone table ran away, always feeling that if he stayed for a moment longer, he would really lose his life at the end of the day.

With his eyes closed, Bai Tu scurried around in the yard, disappearing in a blink of an eye.

Li Qingning kept his face cold and did not move, what he heard was indeed flowers, but what kind of flowers this person was talking about.

Having been with Xian Yu for so long, I have been exposed to those things that should not be said on the surface, and I can't learn to be able to do it.

She kept a cold face and didn't say a word, and she didn't even respond.

Xian Yu laughed softly, "What is your Highness thinking about? Do you want to see the flowers bloom, or do you not?"

Li Qingning slowly closed her eyes, always feeling that not only the tip of her heart, but also her bones were itching, as if she had become an erratic cloud, just wanting to be inseparable from the person in front of her.

It's not like her, but it's still her.

All the desires that were suppressed in the bones were aroused by this person, and they couldn't be hidden no matter how hard they tried.

I can't hide it, like a hungry ghost, I can't wait to ask for it again and again.

All the restraint and self-respect were really thrown to the back of his mind, it seemed to be something useless, and only when he saw outsiders would he think of picking it up again.

How could he not want to, think about it, the three souls and seven souls seemed to be shouting the word "think".

It has clearly been decided that before the overall situation is settled, such thoughts will not be moved again, so that this person can stay in Yangning Palace with peace of mind.

Don't let her think wildly, don't make her too tired, otherwise, if something unexpected happens, she won't be able to avoid it, and Xian Yu still has the strength to go away.

It's not that she is underestimating herself, it's just that no matter how thorough her plan is, accidents will inevitably happen, so she should retain a little bit of caution and awe.

She has to be afraid of destiny, and also of impermanence.

Xian Yu saw that she was cold-eyed and silent, and her flirtatious thoughts not only didn't subside, but intensified.

Does Li Qingning dare to speak, dare not, she is too easily shaken in front of Xian Yu now, she can easily follow Xian Yu's way, and she can be more sober if she doesn't speak.

"It seems that His Highness doesn't want to see the flowers blooming today. Unfortunately, winter is approaching, and it's not so easy to enjoy flowers in the palace now." Xian Yu said unhurriedly.

Li Qingning's eyes were still closed, but she felt that the steps on her hair were shaking, which must have been teased by Xian Yu.

With that step shaking, the hair is also affected by it, even the roots of the hair seem to be crisped into the scalp, and the whole brain is almost unconscious.

"What do you want to do?" She closed her eyes and said quietly.

Xian Yu lowered the hand that was touching her hair, then pulled up her cuff, and said with a smile, "I just want to invite Your Highness to look at the flowers."

Li Qingning's cuffs were gently pulled, and the material of the clothes rubbed against her arms.

She couldn't bear it anymore, so she opened her eyes.

Taking advantage of Li Qingning's moment, Xian Yu leaned forward the moment she opened her eyes, and put her lips on her eyelids.

It was so light, like a flower falling on the water, without even the slightest ripple.

Li Qingning raised her hand to touch her upper eyelids, and looked coldly at the person standing in front of her.

The force was light or light, but it was like a saw, severed the string in her heart.

When the string was disconnected, she slowly took a breath and said lightly: "Do you really want to invite me to see the flowers?"

"Not bad." Xian Yu nodded and said.

Li Qing called out in a cold voice: "Come here."

When the voice fell, Xian Yu was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Li Qingning was calling for.

A little maid came hurriedly, saluted and said: "Your maidservant is here."

"Bring all the petals from the storehouse." Li Qingning said calmly.

No matter how much Xian Yu thought about it, she could not have imagined that she was the one who said she would invite Li Qingning to see the flowers, but now the person who invited the flowers seemed to be Li Qingning.

And the flowers that need to be seen have really become flowers.

What is this? If you can't enjoy flowers, you can appreciate flower petals.

Who knows, Li Qingning turned her head and asked someone to boil hot water again, Xian Yu couldn't figure it out, and when she got to the bath, she couldn't run away even if she wanted to.

Only then did she realize that the petals were not for appreciation.

The vermilion flowers covered the entire bathing pool, and it looked like a sea of ​​flowers from a distance, without even a trace of water.

If she hadn't been here before, she would never have guessed that it would be a bath.

She turned around and wanted to ask Li Qingning what she wanted to do in broad daylight, but unexpectedly, Li Qingning was standing in the distance, as if she was telling the little maid to fetch something.

The little maid responded with a sarcasm: "I'll go get it now, servant girl."

But Xianyu was distracted for a while, and he didn't hear exactly what Li Qingning asked the maid to take.

Could it be something that made her cry so hard?

She clearly opened her mouth to tease Li Qingning here, but when she looked at the vermilion bathing pool, she was the one who wanted to run away.

The little maid set up the screen before she left, and the screen surrounded the whole bath, people outside couldn't see the scenery inside, and people inside naturally couldn't see what was outside.

Xian Yu was still standing by the side of the bath, looking down at the vermilion flowers covering the pool, her pale lips opened and closed, hesitating to speak.

Only then did Li Qingning walk forward from the back, and said calmly, "Didn't you want to see the flowers?"

Xian Yu didn't know how to answer for a while, and said after a long time: "Your Highness's actions are really wasteful."

"Didn't you say you wanted to enjoy the flowers?" Li Qingning gave her a neutral look.

Xian Yu muttered in a low voice: "You know that this flower is not that flower."

"Didn't I do what you wanted?" Li Qingning's tone was flat, without much ups and downs.

Xian Yu didn't know what kind of intention this was, but there was indeed another flower pond in front of her.

It was she who beat around the bush, she didn't make it clear, and Li Qingning was indeed to blame.

The bathing pool is filled with hot air, and a light scent of flowers rises from the incense burner, as if the flowers in the pool are just in season, and the fragrance of flowers is tangy.

After a long time, the little maid who was ordered by Li Qingning to fetch the things came back and whispered outside the screen: "Your Highness, the things have been brought."

"Just put it down, you can go out." Li Qingning said.

The little maid responded, and carefully put down the things in her hands, although she put them down very lightly, there were still some noises.

Xian Yu listened carefully, but couldn't tell what the maid brought.

After the door was closed, Li Qingning turned around and walked outside the screen, and brought things in.

Xian Yu turned around, only to see that Li Qingning hid something behind her back, and she didn't know what it was.

She said with a smile: "What good thing did your Highness bring, and you still want to hide it?"

"Since it's a good thing, it shouldn't be looked at." Li Qing said calmly.

She raised her left arm, and covered her five fingers in front of Xian Yu's eyes. After placing the things by the pool, she led him into the bath.

Xian Yu was led step by step into the bath, the warm water wet the soles of her feet, then covered her ankles, and finally wrapped half of her body in the water.

Standing behind her, Li Qingning slowly put down the hand that was hidden in front of her eyes.

Xian Yu stood in the water, his shoulders and neck felt cold, and his lapels were ripped off.

With a rustle, most of the clothes fell down, and the scarlet mantle covered the flowers, as if competing with the petals in the pool.

She laughed softly, "It's broad daylight, what is your Highness doing?"

"Aren't you going to enjoy the flowers?" Li Qingning said behind her.

Xian Yu thought to himself why this person is enlightened again, didn't he pretend not to understand just now.

She was in a complicated state of mind, waiting for Li Qingning's hand to reach into the water, but the five fingers covered her neck, and slowly moved to her shoulder.

Finally, the slender five fingers landed on the scar on her shoulder.

That scar was there when he was young, and it is still on his shoulder now, looking hideous and terrifying.

Xian Yu was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that Li Qingning used this scar to confirm that she and the dreamer were indeed the same person.

It's just that in Li Qingning's dream, the scars on her shoulders in her previous life had been covered up by tattoos.

The ugly centipede-like scars were painted as flower branches, and the peach blossoms were in full bloom, with red and white dotted on the plain white shoulders, looking from a distance, it looked like a peach branch was folded and draped over the shoulders.

But why did she leave that tattoo on her shoulder at that time?

Thinking back carefully, the first time in her previous life she hooked Li Qingning to take off her clothes, Li Qingning saw the scar on her shoulder.

At that time, Li Qingning's eyes showed a trace of astonishment, and her expression returned to normal in a moment, and she raised her hand to pull her skirt into place.

She thought the scar was too ugly, so she pricked a peach branch on her shoulder the next day.

That day she sneaked into the palace again, sat on a pile of books without any rules, pulled down the front of her clothes and let Li Qingning look at them.

The peach branch was newly thorned, and the shoulders and back were still slightly red and swollen, even if she had a high level of cultivation, she couldn't let the redness go away in a short time.

Li Qingning finally moved her hand that day, she leaned on the desk, Li Qingning pressed her back, and said coldly: "Who did it and when did it."

She didn't say anything, she leaned over the table with trembling legs, and the ink scattered all over the table.

It was only now that Xian Yu realized that at that time Li Qingning's eyes were full of astonishment, but she didn't move her. Maybe it wasn't because she thought the scar was ugly, but because she felt distressed.

Later, Li Qingning repeatedly asked who stabbed the peach branch, and why it was stabbed, probably even Li Qingning herself didn't know, she was jealous.

After recovering, Xian Yu said, "What's wrong."

She wanted to look back, but was blocked by Li Qingning's raised hand, so she had to turn back again and simply stopped looking.

After a while, Li Qingning put down her hands, and picked up something beside the bathtub sideways.

Xian Yu felt something on his shoulders, as if being scratched by a feather tip.

This touch is very familiar, and it is clearly a brushstroke when it falls and lifts.

It's just that the pen hair that fell on her shoulder this time was much softer than the last time, probably not the hard wolf hair.

What is this for? Do you want to teach her to write again?

But it doesn't look like writing, the direction and pause don't look like writing, but like drawing something.

"What is your Highness doing?" Xian Yu wanted to turn to look back, but her shoulders were pressed, making her unable to turn.

Li Qingning said: "Look at the flowers."

"What kind of flowers are you looking at?" Xian Yu couldn't help asking again.

"Peach." Li Qingning raised her brush again, and drew another stroke lightly on another place.

Xian Yu's heart trembled, thinking that Li Qingning thought of something again.

Her shoulders were very itchy, and she was touched by the pen from time to time, and Li Qingning wrote very lightly, as if her shoulders were some fine paper, if she was not careful, the paper would be destroyed.

As soon as the pen was lightly written, her mind became more charming again, and she couldn't help but think elsewhere.

Li Qingning was still drawing, and the brush stroke slowly traced along her shoulder and down her back.

It was a branch, and Li Qingning really drew flowers on her shoulders.

"Did your Highness remember something again?" Xian Yu stood motionless in the water.

Li Qingning didn't speak, her cold face was almost pressed against Xian Yu's back. After she drew a stroke, she went back to dip in the dye, and then started drawing slowly.

Xian Yu said again: "Your Highness is worried that I'm going to find someone else to prick a peach blossom."

That tone seemed to be a smile but not a smile, but he only mentioned it casually.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Li Qingning stopped moving.

Xian Yu thought to herself, could it be that she was right?

After a long time, Li Qingning gave a faint "hmm".

Xian Yu's heart trembled, and the playful smile on his face subsided a little, "But in the previous life, the peach branches on my back were pricked with needles, but the peach branches on your highness were painted."

Li Qingning lowered her eyes again, and brushed the water-stained hair on Xian Yusu's white back. She said coldly, "Diao Qing hurts very much."

"Compared to other pains, it's like a nymph bite." Xian Yu said.

Li Qingning dipped in the peach red dye again, and dropped the brush on Xianyu's back, and drew another peach blossom with just a few strokes, even the heart of the flower was highlighted.

She said lightly: "How can you see the stabbing on your back, but I can see it every time, you can forget the pain, but I..."

Li Qingning paused for a moment, and said again: "Every time I see it, I think of how painful it must be to pierce such a large peach branch."

Xian Yu's shoulders stiffened, and then slowly relaxed, thinking that Li Qingning was hurting her.

I feel sorry for her.

"This dye can only be left for five days, and the color will fade after five days. Don't think about pricking peach branches anymore." Li Qingning lifted the pen, and left a few traces of peach red, which seemed to be falling from a distance. Peach petals are average.

Xian Yu raised her hand and pulled all the hair from her back to her front. She bent down slightly, her back was thin and white, and she was very pretty.

Li Qingning opened her lips slightly, only to feel that her breath was much hotter, but she couldn't shake her hands, dipped in the dye in a hurry, and drew the last few strokes.

After putting down the brush, she carefully placed her hand on the edge of the peach branch, brought her lips closer, and slowly dried it.

With such a blow, the breath also landed on Xian Yu's back.

Although it was not as hot as the heat from the pool, it still made her forehead sweat.

Compared with the heat coming out of the pool, the breath was slightly cooler, so abrupt that she couldn't ignore it.

Xian Yu still bent over and did not move, and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Soon." Li Qingning's voice came from behind.

After a long time, Xian Yu asked again: "Are you ready?"

Li Qingning moved her wrist, and wiped away the pink color on Chao Yu's back with her fingertips.

The strength is neither light nor heavy, but the color has not been wiped away, and it is still very bright.

Xian Yu suddenly dived into the water, suddenly there was no one in the flower pond.

Li Qingning frowned, not knowing what this man was up to.

Just when she was about to speak, there was a clatter behind her, and she turned around, only to see Xian Yu emerging from the bottom of the water.

Xianyu's red dress faded to her waist, and some vermilion petals were pasted on her plain face, shoulders and arms.

A lot of vermilion flowers were pasted on her body, not much inferior to that red dress.

Li Qing said calmly: "Don't move."

Xian Yu just smiled and said nothing, and really stood still.

She watched Li Qingning lean forward, put her lips on her face and shoulders, and then slowly lowered her lips to pick up the vermilion petals one by one.

Waking up in the dormitory the next day, Xian Yu didn't even want to move her fingers.

She covered her head in the brocade quilt, and felt very thirsty again.

With no one around, Li Qingning went to Yuanzheng Hall early.

After a long time, the door was pushed open, and the sound of water flow seemed to be heard.

The brocade hood covering the head was slowly torn away, and a figure blocked most of the light in front of the bed.

Xian Yu only felt that his eyelids were so heavy that he didn't even want to open them, but Li Qingning's voice came from his ear.

Holding the teacup, Li Qingning said calmly, "Could it be that I want to feed water to your mouth."

Xian Yu suddenly opened his eyes, and looked at the person standing by the bed in disbelief, but saw Li Qingning's face was indifferent, as if he hadn't said anything serious.

She pursed her lips and did not speak. She turned her eyes slightly and looked at the teacup in Li Qingning's hand, only to see that it was indeed filled with water.
