A cold dream is not a dream come true

It was already dark when we came out of Prince Cheng's Mansion, Su Zimo walked ahead carrying a lantern, and I followed with Su Wanxia in my arms, and arrived in front of Prince Xi's Mansion not long after.

With the dim light, I saw that the lock that had been hung on the gate during the day had been removed.I went forward and gently pushed the door with my hand, and it opened with a "squeak".The door of the mansion was already a little rusty, and occasionally dust and iron filings floated down, all falling on Wanxia's clothes.

I looked inside through the crack of the door, and saw a faint light from Prince Xi's room at a glance.Su Zimo patted me on the shoulder and said in a low voice: "I'll go back first, and if you have anything to do, you can find me at Prince Gan's Mansion."

I nodded and thanked gratefully: "My son, go slowly."

After watching Su Zimo leave, I carried Su Wanxia into Prince Xi's mansion.The yard was very dark, and I couldn't see the road under my feet, so I could only walk forward with my memory.The fallen leaves on the ground made a "crack, click" sound when I stepped on it, and the echo floated in the yard, which was a bit bleak. It seemed that the yard hadn't been cleaned for a long time.I headed straight for the lighted room with mixed feelings.After many days, I don't know what it will be like to see Prince Xi again.I was thinking wildly when I suddenly felt my legs tremble, and I didn't know whether I was excited or scared.

I slowly approached the room, thinking about how to say the first sentence after meeting.Maybe after seeing me, Prince Xi will hug me and Wanxia in surprise, welcome us into the house, and continue to live our happy life; or Prince Xi will be very angry, scold me and drive me away. Leave the palace; or Prince Xi is expressionless and ignores me.But no matter what, I have to meet Prince Xi, and I want to tell her personally, "You are not fighting alone."

When I was hesitating, I suddenly heard the sound of conversation in the room.The voice was somewhat familiar, which made me suspicious.So I held my breath and listened carefully to the conversation inside.

"It's getting late, my lady, please go back." This icy tone sounded like Prince Xi's voice, although her words didn't have any warmth, but now it sounds so warm to me.

After a long time, another woman's voice sounded in the room: "Thank you, Prince Xi, for your concern, but Prince Xi should carefully consider the conditions of this palace. This is good for you and the emperor."

This voice is so familiar, even if I, Meng Chuhan, becomes a deaf-mute person, I can't hear it wrong. This voice is exactly the voice of my younger sister Meng Di.

Dimple?Why did dimple appear in Prince Xi's mansion?

I was so excited that my hands broke out in cold sweat. I wanted to push the door open immediately and enter the house to check the situation inside, but eight months of fleeing abroad made me calm and calm, so I braved the night wind and forced my trembling hands. legs, hugged Wanxia and hid under the paper window to listen.

"I'm sorry for your trouble. Su Cui sees off the guests." It was Prince Xi's voice.

"No need, I will leave by myself."

As soon as I heard Dimple was about to leave, I immediately hid around the corner and hid.After a long time, the door was pushed open with a "squeak", and three or four people were heard coming out of the room.I took a little peek and found that the woman in gorgeous robes was the leading woman, and behind her was the nurse and the maids. A group of them left Prince Xi's mansion with small steps and twisting their waists.

I originally wanted to catch up with Dimple, but I thought that Dimple was originally the concubine Li in the palace, and I would definitely meet again in the future, so I didn't stop Dimple.The most important thing right now is to see Prince Xi. At this moment, Prince Xi is in the house, and I desperately want to see her.

I hugged Wan Xia and went back to the front of the house, where Prince Xi was talking with Su Cui.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty's request is not too much..." Su Cui said in a low voice.

"I can't do that. Zimo is my niece, and Chuhan is my princess, I can't divorce her easily..."

Divorce me?When I heard Prince Xi mentioning my name, I immediately trembled all over my body. Could it be that Diane'er's request to Prince Xi is to ask Prince Xi to divorce me?

Because of my agitation, I accidentally touched the door, and the door made a slight sound.Prince Xi who was in the room heard the movement outside, and immediately called out vigilantly: "Who?"

I broke into a cold sweat from the shock of the shouting, and just about to open my mouth to explain, I felt a gust of cold wind hit me, and then I saw the face I had been thinking about day and night.

Prince Xi's face was only a foot away from my eyes, and I saw her face clearly.Her eyes were still so cold, but her eyebrows were twisted into a mess.Her hair was not tied up, but loosened, wrapping her fair face, making her look even more haggard.

"Luo Bing..." I choked up and called out her name, but felt something cold and sharp pressed against my neck.I glanced down cautiously, and found that it was Prince Xi's long sword, a long sword used to stab the enemy.

I imagined all the scenarios that could happen when we met in my mind, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

Prince Xi looked at me coldly. There was no surprise, no anger, and no joy on her face.After a long time, she withdrew her long sword, frowned and asked, "Why are you?"

what is me?Why can't it be me?At this moment, love, longing, as well as fear and awe for Prince Xi surged into my heart.I tried to control my emotions, but tears still came out inexplicably.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Su Cui who was in the house heard the movement outside and rushed to check.Seeing that it was me, I couldn't help but look surprised.

"Princess Meng, come and sit in the room." Su Cui took Wan Xia from my arms, and beckoned me to enter the room.

I looked at Prince Xi, she didn't say anything, just lowered her head and returned to the house.I didn't say much, just wiped my tears and followed into the house.

There are only Prince Xi and Su Cui in the room, no one else.I looked around and found that the house was empty, there were only two wooden beds that could be slept on, and everything else had been looted.I looked at the two of them and didn't know what to say for a while, so the three sat in the room like this, silent.

The candles in the room became a little faint, and the breeze blowing from nowhere made the flames of the candles sway.Su Cui picked up the scissors and cut off the wax core.When I was racking my brains on how to say the first sentence, Su Cui suddenly said, "Why did Princess Meng return to Luoyang?"

When I returned to Luoyang, I originally wanted to tell Prince Xi "she is not fighting alone, I will accompany you", but the situation I saw today was obviously "Prince Xi is not alone, she has Li Concubine empress" situation.Dimple wanted Prince Xi to divorce me, and said that she divorced me for Prince Xi's benefit. It seems that I am the outsider now.

"I..." As soon as the words came out, his voice was drowned by tears.At this time, I don't know how to answer and how to face it.

"I told you that you are not allowed to return to Luoyang, right?" Prince Xi asked lightly, "What are you doing back?"

I just returned to Luoyang today, and I couldn't accept all the changes in Luoyang for a while. Facing Prince Xi's indifferent attitude, I could only swallow tears in my stomach.

Su Cui couldn't stand it any longer, she brought a basin of warm water, put it in front of me and said, "Nowadays there is a shortage of things in the house, only this basin of warm water can wipe Princess Meng's face."

I took the towel and wiped my tear-washed face, feeling a little warmth.After a long time, I stabilized my mood, and then tentatively said: "I... just went to Prince Cheng's Mansion..."

Prince Xi ignored me and still sat there expressionless.Seeing me talking to myself, Su Cui stepped forward and said, "Did you see Miss Chu and the prince?"

"Well... I saw Miss Chu... I also saw the prince..." I replied.The prince's performance just now still shocked me, and I couldn't help shaking my whole body.

Su Cui sighed and didn't answer any more.At this time, I thought that Su Cui and Su Tang were originally from the same hometown, since Su Cui had already returned to the house, why was Su Tang not seen.

"Tang'er...why didn't you come back?" I asked while holding a teacup.

"Tang'er..." Su Cui's voice suddenly choked up, she lowered her head and whispered, "It's dead..."

"What?" I stood up in horror and accidentally spilled the water in the water glass on my clothes.

"After you left, Tang'er and I left Luoyang, but on the way back to Houcheng, we met officers and soldiers from Luoyang...Tang'er wanted to save me..."

Hearing this, the scene when I saw Tang'er for the first time appeared in front of my eyes again, and my emotions that had just stabilized began to be uncontrollable again.A well-behaved and lovely woman passed away like this.But after thinking about it, Su Zimo told me at the time that the empress did not give the order to "kill without mercy". Who on earth killed Su Tang by not letting the housekeeper and maids go?

At this time, I thought of Diane who had just come, so I timidly asked: "Is the lady who came just now Concubine Li?"

It's okay if I don't ask, Prince Xi immediately frowned and asked sharply, "Are you eavesdropping?"

I was startled by Prince Xi's attitude, I took a step back and explained in a low voice: "No, no... I just happened to hear..."

"Well..." Prince Xi said, "She is your sister."

After receiving Prince Xi's affirmative answer, I became agitated.How did Dill get to where she is today, what is her plan, why did she ask Prince Xi to divorce me?

"I want to meet her..." I begged.

Prince Xi frowned, stared at me and said, "I forbid you to see her."

Now, Prince Xi's words are like orders. I dare not say anything when she says one thing, but I still don't understand a lot. Dimple is my biological sister, why Prince Xi doesn't let me see her. "Why, why..."

"Concubine Li wants to harm you." Prince Xi said.

"Impossible, Dimple is my biological sister! She can't possibly harm me." I shook my head and shouted, "We grew up together and lived together for 14 years!"

"Oh." Prince Xi sneered, but his face was still expressionless, "She has never mentioned to anyone that you are her sister, let alone her real identity. Meng Chuhan, don't be a fool."

"Impossible... Dimple is a good boy." I shook my head and shouted.

Now I don't know what to do, Prince Xi has never lied to me, but today I started to hesitate about this matter.Dimple grew up with me, I have always known her character, she has no reason to harm me.

"If you still want to be your concubine, you are not allowed to leave Prince Xi's mansion!" After saying that, Prince Xi slammed the door and walked out.
