? "Come on, hang this up"

"Hey, it's crooked"

In front of Prince Liang's mansion, a group of guards surrounded the gate, making noise.

"What are you doing here?" The lights are on, is there any happy event in this palace?

"Sir Shan is not in the mansion these days, so he must not know." A guard laughed and said, "Princess Mingyan has arrived at Bajiaoling. The emperor was overjoyed when he received the letter, and asked the servants to decorate it."

So that was the case, Shan Junxiang only looked at the newly added plaque, then bowed his head and went in.

"Your Majesty, Master Shan is here"

"Everyone is standing in front of me, can't I see it?" Duan Hong looked up at Shan Junxiang, "You're back?"

Shan Junxiang nodded calmly.

"You have been staying at Yuanyang Lake for two or three days this time, and you really care about it." Duan Hong sneered, and asked casually, "How is it there?"

Duan Hong's words were quite arrogance.If you don't like it, why care about it?Shan Junxiang looked back at the past, and said casually, "Everything is fine. It's just too lonely to live alone. It's very cold there in winter, and the lake is frozen."

Duan Hong fell silent for a while, before saying, "Yan'er is coming to Liangcheng, and she will arrive this afternoon according to the schedule, you go to the city gate to pick her up."

Shan Junxiang smiled twice, and said mockingly, "I'll be giving someone off soon, and picking up someone later. It seems that my good fortune is really not shallow."

"Shan Junxiang!" Duan Hong got up angrily, and said in a calm tone, "Just do what you are supposed to do."

"A matter of duty?" Shan Junxiang raised his eyes and looked at her. Her duty is to take care of the aftermath for her? "I just think that people live in this world, whether they are separated or combined, they must live clearly. If you live in an unclear way like this, only innocent people will be hurt." After finishing speaking, he walked out.

"I have no idea!"

Shan Junxiang paused, then listened to Duan Hongdao, "I don't know if I should be like my father, who has one person in my heart, but has to guard another person for the rest of my life. What I want, Bai Yan can't give. Chu Xi I can't give you what you want."

"What exactly do you want, she can't give you?" Shan Junxiang turned around.

"Anwen." Duan Hong spat out two words with a lonely expression.A second ago, he was still talking about each other, but when he turned around, he was like a stranger.Maybe she still had the passion to stalk her before, but after three years of living alone, she has already started to be afraid.It is more painful to have than to have nothing. What she wants is the kind of relationship that will never leave and never give up.

Shan Junxiang looked at her for a long time, then finally turned around again, walked out steadily, and said, "She will give you what you want." She failed in her plan three years ago.Three years later……

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Shan Junxiang's mouth.

Because of the banquet at night, the servants in Prince Liang's mansion were so busy that afternoon that they didn't know where they went.Although Duan Hong appeared to be calm on the surface, he was actually very anxious.She sat on the table at sunset and waited.

"Your Majesty, the princess is resting at the station and will leave in half an hour."

……

"Your Majesty, Princess Mingyan passed by an earthen temple and got out of the car to worship."

"Understood." Duan Hong sat on the chair, staring at the cold food on the table, motionless.

"Your Majesty, Princess Mingyan has entered the mansion."

Duan Hong looked outside the hall, it was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers.

"pass".

Bai Yan came into the palace in formal attire from the previous court.

Duan Hong watched her step over the threshold calmly, knelt down and saluted calmly, but only called her a slave and not a minister.

Duan Hong's heart gradually became cold, just like the dishes on the table, she didn't say a word, but silently moved her hands left and right.

None of the left and right could guess what she was thinking at the moment, guessed at random, and said with a smile, "Princess, please get up. Your Majesty said that the princess is tired from driving and horses, so it's better to take a bath first, and then come to eat."

Bai Yan knelt down, "I have something to ask Your Majesty."

Duan Hong "talked"

"My servant heard on the way that my sister Xianyun was imprisoned in the cellar when I was young. I hope that His Majesty will give you the grace to let this servant see you, and the pain of lovesickness will be relieved."

Lovesickness.Duan Hong clenched the white jade around her waist, and then let it go in a flash. She said lightly, "Yes."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bai Yan bowed back and backed away, resisting to get out of Duan Hong's sight before she straightened up. In an instant, she felt that everything in the world was shaking.

"Princess" Ruyi quickly supported her, and sighed, "Why bother?"

But Bai Yan pushed her hand away, took a deep breath, and said to the eunuch in front, "Please lead the way." No one can understand her situation, and she is doomed to fight alone.Her attitude here, her words and deeds represent her entire nation, and nothing can be understood.

But when Bai Yan went down to the cellar, she realized that there was a lot going on inside.Strictly speaking, it is not a cellar, it is a small underground palace.It's just that Duan Hong changed the prisoner. Along the way, there were shouts of grievances and curses everywhere, which seemed particularly dark and terrifying. Unconsciously, she suddenly thought of the underground palace under the Qi Palace.

"Princess, put on the cloak, it's too cold here." Ruyi looked at her worriedly, this person was five or six years younger than herself, but insisted on carrying so many burdens, alas.

"Ruyi." Bai Yan stopped in her tracks, quite puzzled, "Have you ever seen the underground palace under King Qi's Palace?"

Ruyi was taken aback, tied the cloak on her, and recalled, "I have seen it once."

"Then how do you think the construction method there compares with that here?"

Ruyi just looked around and was surprised.

Seeing her expression, Bai Yan gradually felt uneasy.

Since the beginning, it has been rumored among the people that the reason for the high status of Taoists in the previous dynasty was that the emperor loved Taoism.In fact, the real reason is only known to a small number of royal family members.

At the beginning of the establishment of the previous dynasty, Emperor Taizong made Linzi his capital. At that time, the surrounding princes were still unconvinced. Taizong was afraid of being attacked by the enemy, so he asked the well-known Taoist priest of Qingyang to build an underground palace.So from then on, each generation of emperors would choose an apprentice from Qingyang to serve as the national teacher, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has been more than [-] generations.

And the Taoist priest her father chose was Hua Xu.

Bai Yan guessed that Daoist Feihong should also be a disciple of Qingyang, but why didn't he find Wei Ming when he came out of the mountain, but went to seek refuge with Huang's?

"Princess, we're here." Two guards were opening the cell door.

Only then did Bai Yan come back to her senses, and when she took a closer look, she saw that the inside was dark and dark, with a woman in white curled up in a corner.Bai Yan's heart tightened, and she blurted out "Xianyun!"

The woman then slowly raised her head and stared at her in a daze, tears streaming down slowly.

Bai Yan walked over step by step, looking at the welt marks on her body in disbelief, her voice trembling, "How could this be..." How could Duan Hong be so cruel?

"Sister" Duan Yanxian stared at her with wide eyes, but opened her mouth in a very soft voice: I really regret it.If she hadn't saved Duan Hong back then, she wouldn't have ended up like this. Her father, brother, and queen wouldn't have died.

"Xianyun." Bai Yan hugged her tightly, heartbroken.Who is more pitiful to watch the people who have been saved kill their own relatives one by one, or to save the person who once killed their relatives?I'm afraid it's half a catty.She closed her eyes and shed tears.

The two hugged each other and wept bitterly.Bai Yan fell into a nightmare and couldn't extricate herself.

"Princess, princess" suddenly shook her shoulders with both hands.

Bai Yan turned her head, only to see Ruyi's enlarged face in a blur.

"The emperor is outside the prison door."

"Your Majesty..." Bai Yan gasped, feeling extremely ridiculous.What kind of emperor is she? What kind of emperor is a person who doesn't even spare her benefactor!She looked out of the prison bitterly, and then froze like that.

I saw Duan Hong holding onto the wooden railing with one hand, staring at her with a stiff body, the tears in his eyes turned back especially under the torch.

The two just looked at each other, Bai Yan's heart was in a mess, and finally she got up and walked over slowly.

"Yan'er" Duan Hong choked his voice and said, "Do you love me? Do you really love me? Why can't I feel it at all? What am I in your eyes? Why do you come back and want to see if it's not me?" but her?"

Bai Yan's chest seemed to be hit hard by someone, and she was stuck there.

Duan Hong clenched the wooden fence tightly, and said tearfully, "Did you think of it, and I can't give it?" After saying that, he turned around, his face wet with tears.

Seeing her disappearing from the back, Bai Yan covered her chest, and burst into tears in an instant.Every word was like a needle, piercing her heart.Why is Duan Hong still asking such questions after so many years, does she know, every time she asks, she feels like going through hell.

Bai Yan didn't remember how she left the dungeon, she only remembered that when she returned to the ground, Shan Junxiang was standing in the wind with a wine gourd and smiling at her.

"Life is short, enjoy yourself in time"

"Think too much and you'll regret it later."

"Do you believe me?"

"If you believe me, you can stay with her with peace of mind."
