Chaoyuan Road

The sky is dew-cold, and outside the corridor of the Yaochi, the color of the water gradually darkens with the sky, only a few clouds hovering lowly above the cornices, unwilling to go back.The wind blew into her clothes, wrapped in a bone-chilling coolness, and slipped into Longnu's thin silk, she raised her hand to touch her shoulders, and smiled helplessly—who said "the immortal bones of the emperor have no cold or heat"?Obviously it is "Hibiscus embroidered at the beginning of cold night".

Just now I heard what the Queen Mother said, although she didn't fully believe what Yang Jian said, but Tian Nu had subdued the law, and there was real evidence in front of her, obviously she planned to cover it up for Yang Jian.But Longnu's heart is still in a mess. She and Tiannu are the same people in the Queen Mother's heart. Standing in such a place, there are open and dark arrows everywhere. If you need to sacrifice them, you will never hesitate.If there was one more time, would he be so lucky and get someone to help him escape?Even Yang Jian was just making a big fuss about being held hostage by Tian Nu this time. How much of it was because of the dragon girl's anger at the crown is actually unquestionable.

After a whole day of thrilling and frustrating times, Cun Xin is still unwilling to go back to her room to rest despite being exhausted.She has spent countless springs and autumns in this lonely forbidden garden, tired of seeing the plum blossoms blooming and falling on the branches, and painted gold paintings on the corridors and rails several times.Cun Xin didn't know that she would spend so many years in this deep palace, even before today, she never thought of asking herself such a question.But at this moment, she quietly looked at the moon shadow slowly flowing in the corridor, and suddenly felt a kind of helplessness that she had never seen before.

It was finally dark, and Longnu returned to the lower place. Her injured ankle was still hurting, so she had to drag her feet step by step, and slowly came to Mu Shi beside the bed. Just as she was about to take off her coat, she suddenly felt a sudden Hei, a shadow flashed out from behind the curtain, she was startled, and just about to scream, she was bullied by the black shadow and covered her lips with her hand.

"It's me." The voice sounded very familiar.

There was no light in the room, and the dragon girl stared wide-eyed. She was stunned for a moment before she saw Yang Jian standing in front of her eyes. She hurriedly signaled with her eyes that Xiansheng Zhenjun moved her palm away. When she wanted to say something, she first raised her hand and lowered the sound barrier. .

"How's your foot injury?" Yang Jian put Cun Xin's arm on her and helped her sit up on the couch, then bent down to look at the injury.Unexpectedly, she stretched out her hand, but was blocked by Long Nu, she didn't even look at him, she lowered her head and said, "I just went to find the God of Medicine to have a look."

Yang Jian sighed, then squatted down, inspected it carefully, and said just now: "When I was in the temple, there were so many people, I didn't pay attention to it. Now it's fine."

"It is said that there are too many people, and they are running to wait for me. I'm afraid it's not just because of my feet?" Cun Xin still stared at the red sandalwood feet in a daze, and murmured.

Yang Jian laughed: "Then tell me, what am I doing for?"

"I sued you in front of my mother, so you naturally came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime."

Yang Jian must have been squatting for a long time, so he simply pulled his feet and sat up. He looked up and smiled and said, "Since I dare to kill him, I naturally figured out how to explain to Your Majesty. But you beat the drums well here, saving me A lot of word of mouth."

"That's natural," Cun Xin said, "Master Zhenjun's deceitful wrist is the best in the three worlds, and even if I flatter him, I can't catch up."

She spoke angrily, but Yang Jian didn't think it was disobedient, and still said softly, "Thanks to your reminder, I wrote a book that day, asking Bing Linggong to worship Old General Huang for me, and deliberately brought Wang Bi to the evil In front of the mirror, I saw Tiannu came to the temple to ask me to cut grass and roots. Wang Bi gave up his mind, so he told the whole story about Tiannu's alchemy. I just asked Tianhua to add some words to the letter. Otherwise, how can I rely on alchemy alone? Can you prove that guy to death?"

Cun Xin sat for a while and forgot about the pain in her feet. Hearing what Yang Jian said, she sneered and said, "Tian Nu is used to planting spoils, and now she died on this, so it is not wronged." She suddenly remembered something, and said in surprise: "This Forget it, what about Guo Maoxian? Why is it so good..."

"He knew that there was nothing wrong with his crime. He killed the Meishan brothers without seeing him." Yang Jian sighed, "Although Guo Maoxian made mistakes, he still has a good conscience. It’s a disappointment to him.”

Cun Xin curled her lips: "Suicide?" She seemed to want to say something, but she held back after a moment's pause.

"Don't you believe me?" Yang Jian peeped at her expression and asked softly.

"...I don't know if I should believe you." Long Nu lowered her eyes, "I always feel that to you, everyone is a pawn and can be discarded at any time. Maybe one day, I will be like Mr. Guo Mao." If it is no longer beneficial to you, what are you going to do with me?"

Yang Jian stood up "teng", the shadow cast by the tall body shrouded the dragon girl, with almost suffocating coercion.He just felt that there were countless things to say in his chest, and they all came to his mouth, but he didn't know which one to say, so he stood there for a long time before he said: "Do you remember the palace man who sent the letter to you for Guo Maoxian?"

Cun Xin shook her head: "It looks familiar, it seems to be a newcomer, what is it called Yue?"

"Just now Li Huanzhang reported that a female corpse was salvaged from the Tianhe River, with a Yaochi badge hanging on her body." Yang Jian said, and handed over a jade tablet with two words engraved in red on it: Huaiyue.

When Cun Xin saw it, a chill suddenly rose from his back. He couldn't speak for a while, but stared at Yang Jian in a daze, and heard him say calmly: "Although Tian Nu is dead, there are still hidden threads of him around you, it's better to be careful."

Long Nu's nose was sour, but she didn't want to cry in front of him, she just looked away and murmured: "I've been through this, so naturally I have to be careful in everything, you... don't be too careless. I can help you once, but I can't help you forever, if you raise troops in a hurry today, and the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother suddenly lose power, there will be generals who provoke rebellion and courtiers commit crimes to usurp power, ask yourself, can you suppress them all?" Her A pair of bare hands rubbed the embroidered belt on her knees, "But I'm not worrying about it, even if I don't exist in the future, with the real gentleman's exquisite clarity, I will naturally find someone else to cover it for you."

"You never believed me."

"It's because you don't believe me." Cun Xin raised her head, her lacquer-like pupils shining brightly in the dark night, "Yang Jian, there are thousands of hills and valleys in your chest, I know I will never see them clearly. I don't ask to understand you, just I hope you understand, I always believe in you as one, and I hope you... may you treat me the same."

Yang Jiaerlang stared at Longnu, her eyes were burning, and the jumping sparks stung his heart.Yang Jian didn't say anything else, just said in a low voice: "You've been tired all day, let's settle down first..."
