Sparrow dream dance

Counting to today, Emperor Yanling has been enthroned for three full months.

In the towering palace walls, everywhere has been decorated with joy.

Even the air is filled with the scent of honey spit out from the mouth of the copper beast in the hall, so rich and sweet that it makes one's body limp.

On the night before the new emperor's wedding, the snow that had been endless for a long time finally stopped.

But the sky was pitch black, with no moonlight or stars, but it made the entire Forbidden City brightly lit and dazzling.

Everyone has been preparing all night for the rare feast tomorrow.

Chu Xiati stood in front of the mirror. The bright red phoenix robe was embroidered with colorful phoenixes with dark golden silk threads. The skirt was long and dragged to the ground, and the pearls and jade on the clothes were dazzling.The woman behind her stretched out her slender hands, and while slowly coiling up her long, glossy black hair, staring at the breathtakingly gorgeous beauty in the mirror, she sighed softly, "Sister Xia Ti, you This wedding dress is really beautiful. I heard people say that the most beautiful time in a woman's life is when she gets married, and it seems to be true."

After hearing this, her white and translucent skin was covered with a faint blush. She stared at the beautiful girl in the mirror who was curling her hair thinly for herself, pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Not necessarily. It should be said that the most beautiful woman in a woman's life Time is the time to marry the person you like. Sister Tong, when you find someone you really like in the future, you will understand."

The light in Mayatong's eyes changed, and her cherry lips trembled slightly, but she forced a smile and did not answer.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the hall, "Your Majesty—here—"

Murong Yan walked in quickly, smiling like a breeze, her brows were warm and cool.

The moment she saw Xia Ti's brilliant and peerless face clearly, her eyes seemed to be pierced by the dazzling light, and her eyes couldn't help revealing fiery praise and love.She walked steadily behind Chu Xiati, took the moist and crystal-clear pearl necklace from Mayetong's hand, smiled slightly at Mayetong, and said, "Let me do it."

Mayetong lowered his eyebrows and put the necklace in Murongyan's palm, then said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Sister Xia Ti, I'm going back first, and I'll come back tomorrow morning."

Murongyan's thoughts were all on Chu Xiati, she didn't hear the imperceptible coolness in Mayetong's tone, she just nodded with a smile, "Okay, I've troubled my cousin for the past two days."

Mayetong smiled and shook his head, then hurriedly left the hall.

Chu Xiati watched it silently. After Mayetong left, she turned around, put her hand around Murongyan's neck, stared at her and said, "Why are you here? I heard from Xi Niang that in your country of Yan , the couple are not allowed to meet each other on the eve of their wedding."

"I was a little worried about you, so I came to see you." Murong Yan stretched out one hand to wrap her arms around her waist, a few traces of worry floated between her brows, and she hesitated to speak, "You...you..."

Chu Xiati's eyes turned, and she raised her eyebrows and interrupted, "I don't worry about you, why do you worry about me? After all, this is in your Yan Palace, and I don't know how many stunning beauties are waiting for you. What about Your Majesty’s rain and dew grace, don’t you think?”

"You, you are going to marry me tomorrow, what kind of jealousy are you getting at this moment?" Murong Yan had no choice but to swallow what she wanted to say to her just now, and stretched out her finger to touch her smooth forehead, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Chu Xiati pursed her lips, and when she leaned her head on her left shoulder, she felt Murongyan tremble slightly.

She was silent for a long time before she said sullenly, "Murongyan, you really only marry me and love me, right?"

When Murong Yan heard her ask this question again, she knew that it was her past events and old feelings that made her feel uneasy.

I couldn't help but tighten her grip tightly, kissed her forehead, and said word by word, "Xiao Ti, I have a lot of difficulties in the past. But from now on, I only have you in my heart, please believe me. "

She didn't tell her that, in fact, from the moment she met and fell in love with her again, she had already made up her mind in her heart that she would only spend the rest of her life with her.For this reason, she will never fall in love with anyone again, including Leng Lange.

Chu Xiati raised her head slowly, stared blankly at her serious and pale face, and asked suddenly, "If you really only have me in your heart, then no matter what I do, you will never blame me, and you will still feel the same pain." I love me, don't I?"

Murong Yan was slightly taken aback, her heart tightened inexplicably, and she frowned and asked, "Why do you ask such a question? What are you going to do?"

"Answer me, Murongyan." Chu Xiati stared at her without blinking, "Tomorrow I will become your real wife, which is very important to me."

Murong Yan pursed her thin lips, and finally replied solemnly, "Yes. As long as you have kind thoughts in your heart, don't hurt the innocent, no matter what you do or want, I will depend on you, and I will never blame you."

"I believe in you and promise you that I will never hurt innocent people."

Chu Xiati stared into her eyes, and said seriously, "I hope you don't forget every word you said to me today... Remember, I am still the same sentence from the beginning, if you really betray me..." She slowly moved her hand to her chest and didn't say any more.

But Murong Yan understood that she wanted to say that if she betrayed her, she would definitely gouge out her heart.

"I won't!" Murong Yan hurriedly grabbed her hand and said anxiously, "Xiao Ti, you and I are getting married, so don't say such... such unlucky words."

Chu Xiati looked at Murongyan's forehead with a thin layer of sweat, and finally smiled sweetly, stretched out her sleeves to gently wipe off the sweat, leaned into her ear and exhaled softly, "I know , the big deal is that I will serve you well tomorrow night as an apology."

When Murong Yan heard this, her pale face suddenly turned red.

She looked at Chu Xiati who was smiling alluringly. If it was normal, she would pick her up on the spot and throw her on the bed.

But at this time, she finally held back and did not stay overnight.

She gently tapped her eyebrows, and pretended to say something casually, "You said this yourself, then you should rest well tonight, and don't twist your hands and feet to break your promise tomorrow."

When she walked out of Fengyi Palace, Murongyan slowly restrained the spring spirit in her eyes.

Although the snow stopped, the wind started to blow harder.

The inner servant bowed his head and followed behind her, the lantern in his hand fluttering violently in the cold wind, feeling like it would go out at any moment.

"Send some more people, so as to guard her, and don't make any mistakes, otherwise I will definitely kill you." She said coldly.

"No." The internal guard hurriedly responded, he paused, stared at Murongyan's left arm again, and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, we are getting married tomorrow, but your arm..."

"It's nothing serious, did the assassin recruit?" Murong Yan asked lightly.

It turned out that at night, Murong Yan was reviewing memorials in the imperial study, but an assassin disguised as a palace servant assassinated her.

Unexpectedly, she was scratched on her left arm, but she was very skilled in martial arts, and after fighting the assassin several times, she quickly subdued him.

She was afraid that something bad happened to Chu Xiati, so she completely ignored the precautions of etiquette and rushed to Fengyi Palace to check whether she was all right.

"Return to Your Majesty, that assassin... committed suicide by biting his tongue." The Internal Supervisor cowardly replied.

"What?!" Murong Yan stopped, eyes full of anger.

"But the servant has sent someone to find out... This assassin is... a fellow of Concubine Xiao's hometown." He didn't dare to raise his head, and replied shyly, "Also... Princess Changle was also taken to Chonghua privately by Concubine Xiao today In the palace..."

Hearing this, Murongyan clenched her fists tightly, with blue veins protruding from her forehead, she said furiously, "What a Xiao Ziyan, you still don't know how to repent! Drive to Chonghua Palace!"

Chonghua Palace, this place is extremely deserted and desolate. It is the place where Xiao Ziyan was imprisoned by Murongyan after she poisoned Leng Lange.

And because Murong Yan hated Xiao Ziyan's vicious heart, she was afraid that Murong Ying would also be contaminated by him, so she was forbidden to continue raising Ying'er, and she was not allowed to see Ying'er in private.

However, when Murongyan led someone to rush in angrily, Xiao Ziyan was not found.

"Ying'er is good, where's your concubine mother?" Murong Yan hugged Murong Ying who was sobbing non-stop, and forced herself to calm down and asked.

Murong Ying tightly grasped the dragon robe on Murong Yan's body, looked at her with a dignified expression, her little face was flushed red, she was crying uncontrollably, "Ying'er doesn't know... At noon, the concubine sent someone to pick up Ying'er. She said that she missed Yinger. But after having dinner with Yinger, the concubine mother said she wanted to go out for a walk alone... and never came back. The concubine mother also said, let Yinger not be afraid, saying that father Your Majesty, you will definitely come to find Yinger..."

Murong Yan's complexion became more and more serious when she heard Murong Ying's intermittent words.

"Did your mother tell you anything else?"

Murong Ying could only shake her head and cry, she was completely dazed when she was young, but there was a voice in her heart saying that the concubine mother would never come back again.

Murong Yan could only sigh a long time, and reached out to wipe away the tears from her little face, "Ying'er, don't be afraid. Father is here."

"Father, you will find the concubine mother, right?" Murong Ying asked sobbing.

Murong Yan's face was livid, she didn't know how to tell her what Xiao Ziyan had done.

After a long time, she still nodded heavily, and said, "I promise you that I will definitely find your mother and concubine."

That night, Murong Yan hugged the frightened Murong Ying and coaxed her to sleep.

She gently caressed Murong Ying's red and swollen eyes, and sighed in her heart. It was because of her that she couldn't bear to punish Xiao Ziyan too much, but now. . .That woman is already crazy.

Suddenly, Murong Ying opened his tired eyes, and murmured vaguely, "Father...Ying'er remembered, when he was playing in the courtyard this afternoon...Ying'er seemed to have seen a woman come to find his concubine mother..."

Murong Yan's heart trembled when she heard this, and she hurriedly asked, "Can you see clearly, who is it?"

Murong Ying slowly closed her sleepy eyes again, and shook her head lightly, "Ying'er didn't see clearly...she...she was wearing a white cloak, so she couldn't see her face..."

"Ying'er...Ying'er..." Murong Yan wanted to ask again, but she gently pushed Murong Ying, but she had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Murong Yan had no choice but to face up to the sky, thoughts in her head were chaotic.

Xiao Ziyan, where are you?

And why did you send someone to kill me?

The woman in the white cloak. .And who is it?

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------

In the darkness before dawn, you can't see your fingers, like ink marks that are too thick to melt.

Su Wan supported her head with one hand, twisted her hair with the other, and looked at the purple-clothed woman standing blankly across from her with a half-smile.

"Why do you think that I will help you, Concubine Xiao? Now His Majesty is looking for you everywhere. If I hand you over, she will be grateful to me."

The woman in purple walked forward slowly from the darkness, without any trace of fear.

She looked straight into Su Wan's eyes, filled with a gloomy chill, which sent a chill down the spine.

"Because helping me is helping yourself."

She replied word by word, speaking each word very slowly, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.

"As for gratitude." Xiao Ziyan sneered, "I think what you really want is not her gratitude, right?"

Su Wan sat up straight, pursed her lips and remained silent.

Only Xiao Ziyan continued to say with a smile, "You and I are actually the same, aren't you?"

Su Wan frowned, turned her face away in discomfort, and thought, is she really the same as her?

"Don't struggle." Xiao Ziyan seemed to be able to see through her thoughts, "Are you willing to see your elder sister get married in a beautiful way, but you can only live like a joke forever, and die of old age in the deep palace with hatred?"

Su Wan bit her lip and tightened her skirt.

She is really not reconciled.

"Since you are not reconciled, why not find someone to accompany you to be reconciled?"

Su Wan's face darkened, but she stood up suddenly, walked up to Xiao Ziyan, and said, "Okay, I will help you. Not only will I help you, but I will also tell you a big secret."

Xiao Ziyan smiled miserably, "If it's the secret about that person, I already know it."

Su Wan carefully looked at Xiao Ziyan's desperate face, "No, this secret has nothing to do with that person, and even that person doesn't know about it."

Xiao Ziyan stood still, and after Su Wan whispered a few words in her ear, she saw a sudden change in her face, and she looked at Su Wan in disbelief, "This is...Really?"

Su Wan smiled, "Of course it's true. No one knows about it except me and my father. I'm afraid even she herself can't expect it."

"Why didn't you tell the man?"

"If I say so, there will be nothing wrong with you, Concubine Xiao, tomorrow, right?"

Xiao Ziyan looked at Su Wan coldly, and suddenly asked, "Have you ever loved that person?"

Su Wan tilted her head, seemed to think for a long time before saying, "I don't remember."

"Then after you knew the truth, did you ever hate that person?"

Su Wan was silent for a long time before saying, "I don't know."

She paused, stared at Xiao Ziyan and smiled, "But I know, you must hate her to the bone."

"No, I don't hate her... If I really hate her, I only hate myself..."
