This city, I seem to have been here before. . .

Su Li looked at the towering gate of the imperial capital in the distance, she was a little absent-minded, her eyes unconsciously fell on the coachman sitting in front of the car and riding the horse, and for a flash, she saw a tall man in white clothes from him. Straight, lonely and indifferent back.

This figure seems to have been seen somewhere before. . .

Su Wan, who had been sitting silently behind Su Li, looked at her sister's expressionless face without saying a word, and couldn't help but tighten the corner of her clothes in her hand.

She stared at her increasingly unfamiliar side face, with an unspeakable moisture in her eyes, and sighed faintly.

Since when did Sister-in-law stop talking to herself?

Hearing Su Wan's sigh, Su Li suddenly pulled back her wandering thoughts, turned her eyes to this sad-faced younger sister, and saw her shrinking herself into a corner weakly, Su Li's heart tightened suddenly.

Only she is the most innocent, she is just a naive young girl, but because of Emperor Yan's own selfish desires, she was involved in this prison palace at the forefront of the storm.

Su Li lowered the curtain of the car, moved closer to Su Wan, held her hand, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Sister will find a way to get you out of the way."

Su Wan still lowered her head, recalling last night, she had already fallen asleep, until she vaguely heard noises coming from the room, she woke up rubbing her eyes, and saw a tattered and stained suit lying on the ground. The blood-stained skirt, while Su Li was wearing clean clothes with messy blue hair.

She was terrified. Although she was not very familiar with human affairs, she felt strong anxiety and fear in her heart. What was even more frightening was that no matter how she asked, Su Li refused to confide in her.

After a long time, she still gritted her teeth and asked in a low voice, "Sister, is there something you are hiding from me? Why do you always let me run away alone? What happened last night? The blood stains on your body... in the end Where did it come from?" Her fingertips trembled slightly, and she continued, "Also, why haven't you seen that... that person since last night?"

Su Li's heart sank, she stared at Su Wan without saying a word.

She saw her messy appearance last night, so it was inevitable for her to worry and wonder, but how could she tell her that she was actually not her own sister Su Li, but the princess of the Xiongnu? He could tell her that he actually entered the palace to assassinate the emperor, and he let her escape because he didn't want her innocent to be involved. . .

Seeing that Su Li still refused to tell her the truth, Su Wan felt more and more sad, and asked in a crying voice, "Sister...do you still consider me a younger sister? Why do you keep everything from me?"

Su Li raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Su Wan's eyes, and tried her best to smile, "Silly Wan'er, you are my sister's only sister... You must know that you and Daddy are people I will never harm in this life, Even if I want to hide it from you, it's all for your own good."

When Su Wan heard this, tears flowed even worse. She plunged into Su Li's arms and sobbed, "Sister...I don't understand..."

Su Li gently patted Su Wan's trembling back, and said softly, "You don't have to understand."

Those hardships, those deep vengeance, those bloody, those killings, those tricks. . .You don't even have to understand.

Because that kind of darkness should not belong to you.

Because those pains can only be borne by me alone.

Huge wheels ran over the flat blue ashlar ground, and the carriage drove slowly. The young guard standing at the gate of the Forbidden City suddenly smelled a faint and elegant fragrance. The solemn expression under the iron gray helmet began to melt slightly, and his eyes followed him unconsciously. Drive the dark and luxurious car until it disappears from sight.

Soon, the carriage stopped outside the gate of the palace, and after passing through this gate, it was the harem of the imperial city.Outside the door stood a line of internal servants holding guards of honor and accompanying maids of honor.

When Su Li and Su Wan got out of the car, Gong'e stepped forward to support them, and an elderly nanny walked up to the two of them, looked them up and down, and a look of unrestrained expression jumped onto her ravine-ridden face.

After a long while, the nanny said in a cold voice, "Let's take the two girls to take a bath and change clothes first."

In the palace, she saw a lot of daughters from high-ranking officials and noble families, and she could only disdain these two commoner girls chosen by the folks in the mountains.

But Su Li didn't care about the indifference and contempt in Mammy's words. Looking around, the setting sun was hanging high in the sky, and the enchanting red sprinkled on the solemn and majestic vermilion walls and green tiles, shining golden light. But brightly colored and a little scary.

Suddenly a lot of inexplicable familiarity and faint sadness surged in her heart, she pinched her palm, took a deep breath secretly, and thought: Hmph, the palace of Yan Kingdom is nothing more than this.

Soon, they were brought into the deep palace, where there were many palaces and buildings, and there were lights and festoons everywhere, and the whole palace was busy, as if there was some happy event tonight.But from Su Li's point of view, this place is like a huge and complicated spider web, which seems to be swallowed and obliterated by someone accidentally as a prey.

After finally passing the hustle and bustle, Su Li's footsteps froze slightly when he passed by a palace with closed gates.

A gust of wind blew up a few withered and yellow pear flower petals that fell on the white marble base steps, whirling and rustling on the ground. . .

"You see, this is where I grew up."

Suddenly, a voice as warm as water sounded beside Yin Yin's ears, Su Li's heart skipped a beat, and he looked around in confusion.

who is it?who is it?

"What's the matter, Miss Su." The nanny stopped and asked displeasedly.

"The little girl entered the palace for the first time, she lost her mind for a while, I hope the mother will forgive me." Su Li hurriedly retracted her thoughts, and answered with her head bowed.

"Miss Su, it's better to be careful, don't blame me for not reminding you, losing your mind in the palace can kill you at any time."

"Thanks for the reminder, ma'am."

Su Li clenched her white lips, letting the slightest pain help her to calm down. She was right, the price of being absent-minded in the palace might be something she couldn't bear. . .Now that he has entered the palace, from now on, there must be no mistakes, otherwise it will only come to naught.

After another whole stick of incense, Su Li and the two of them were brought to a very remote palace. On the old plaque was written the word 'Yuehua Palace'.There, Gong'e has prepared a bathtub full of petals and clean and delicate clothes for them.

"The two girls can rest earlier after bathing. Remember, you must never step out of the Yuehua Palace." The nun said with a stern expression, "Tomorrow morning, I will take the two of you to have a physical examination."

Su Li's eyes trembled, but she still bowed respectfully in response.

After the nanny left, Su Wan grabbed Su Li's hand and asked in a trembling voice, "Sister, I heard that the physical examination in the palace is scary... Is it true?"

Su Li was also feeling uneasy, but she thought of Mo Mingxuan's promise to her last night, so she regained her composure and said, "Don't worry, sister is here."

Su Wan looked at Su Li and nodded, "Well, with Sister here, I won't be afraid."

Then the two of them took a bath and changed clothes one after another, and then slept on the same couch.Su Wan thought it was pure in heart, and soon fell into a deep sleep, but Su Li tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. First, she didn't know whether she would be able to pass the body test safely tomorrow; The lonely palace is unforgettable.

There were only two maids guarding the gate of the palace, Su Li had no intention of listening, but heard a familiar name wafting into her ears.

"Have you heard that His Royal Highness King Xiang is back tonight?"

When Su Li heard this, her heart skipped a beat, she was [-]% surprised, and [-]% unspeakably happy.

It turned out that she was still alive. . .

I only heard another Gong'e sighing, "Yes, that Highness has been away from Yanjing for almost three years...but he just came back tonight...I don't know what the Holy Majesty will think..."

Su Li was puzzled when she heard this, and she was puzzled in her heart. Isn't King Xiang the younger brother of the current Holy Majesty? Why does the Holy Majesty seem to have some prejudice against King Xiang after hearing the meaning of these two people's words?

"Isn't that right, this matter is indeed a bit strange, after all, today is the Queen's Empress's birthday, and returning to Beijing at this juncture... No one in the palace knows that His Highness Prince Xiang had a relationship with the Empress... "

"Shut up, you can't talk nonsense... In the palace, if you make a mistake, it's a crime of losing your head!" Another palace lady interrupted hastily.

"Understood... What I said is obviously something that is known all over the world..." Gong'e explained in a low voice aggrieved.

. . . . . .

Every word they said hit Su Li's heart, she unconsciously pinched the quilt tightly, cursing fiercely in her heart, that damned Murongyan pretended to be affectionate towards herself on the surface, but secretly she didn't Know how many women have done these nasty things!Fortunately, I still feel a little guilty about her safety. . .If I see her again next time, I must really stab her to death!

She was lying on the bed with her eyes open, unable to fall asleep no matter what, and in the middle of the night, even the two ladies in the palace began to feel sleepy.

Su Li turned over quietly and got up, completely forgetting what the mother said, sneaked out of the Yuehua Palace, and unknowingly walked to the gate of the closed palace that she saw before.

"Zhao, Lan, Dian."

She read the old plaque full of dust mites word by word, feeling a faint warmth in her heart.

At the boundary between the sea of ​​light and the shadows, there is a tall pear tree jumping out of the palace wall, with luxuriant branches and leaves, each leaf seems to be shining in the night.

The breeze blew, and the pear blossoms drifted with the wind, but in my own memory, it seemed that I had never seen such a scene of falling flowers all over the sky.

"Tumi is all over and the night is still young."

Suddenly, a soft female voice came from beside her ear, which made Su Li take a step back in shock. Looking back, she didn't know when there was a woman in blue shirt standing behind her, her eyes were fixed on Mantian Lihua, her eyes were as stubborn as lotus flowers clean.

"Who are you?" Su Li asked uneasily, feeling that the woman's eyes were somewhat familiar.

"This sentence, I should ask you." The woman in green shirt met Su Li's eyes, with complicated emotions flashing in her eyes, and then said slowly, "After all, I came here before you .”

After hearing this, Su Li looked at her luxurious attire, guessing that she must be the emperor's concubine, so she lowered her body and said, "I don't know which palace the empress is from, but the young girl is a good family who just entered the palace today..."

"I know who you are." The woman in the blue shirt interrupted impatiently, "I know everything."

Su Li was taken aback for a moment, and then she became angry. What's so arrogant about this woman from Yan Country?What can she know?

She stood up straight, smiling like a spring breeze, "Oh? Is your lady joking, the little girl is new here, but she has never seen her before."

I saw the woman in the blue shirt staring at Su Li with heavy eyes, feeling uncomfortable. After a long time, I heard her say a little tiredly, "Actually, it doesn't matter who you are, I just want to tell you that if you dare to hurt her again... I will never forgive you lightly."

Su Li stood there in a daze, watching the cyan color turn and leave, accompanied by a desolate smile that echoed for a long time.

I saw her walk a few steps, then turned around suddenly, pulled the corners of her pale mouth and smiled, "By the way, I have to remind Miss Su that you must be careful in the physical examination tomorrow."

"Who?" Su Li asked tremblingly.

The smile on the face of the woman in blue was even stronger, and Yingying said, "A person of noble status."
