Today's weather is very good, especially after autumn, neither hot nor dry, cool and pleasant.Under the meticulous care of the palace staff, the flowers, plants and trees in the garden are green and fragrant, full of flowers and full of vitality, as if it is still spring.

Therefore, the palace banquet arranged by the Ming Lake was held amidst the fragrance of birds and flowers.The female family members of the invited officials and the concubines in the palace gathered together lively, talking and laughing.Young and beautiful court ladies in plain clothes came and went, bringing honey wine and various snacks, and some led the wife who had just entered the palace, across a gravel road by the Ming Lake, to come here.

No one would notice that there was a person hiding behind the rockery by the lake, looking furtively at the only path leading to the place where the banquet was held.

There was a trace of determination in her anxious eyes. The pale face was reflected on the sparkling lake, like a monster crawling up from the bottom of the water, looking for someone to die for.

The weather was no longer hot, but her palms were sweating non-stop. Chunling wiped her hands with her beautiful skirt irritably. If it was the past, she would be reluctant to wipe her hands with such a valuable material.It's different now, she rubbed and rubbed until her palms were red and painful, but no matter how much she rubbed, she couldn't wipe away the panic and fear in her heart, and she even felt that with the movements, the heart that kept beating violently seemed to be able to move at any time. Open chest.

A teardrop fell on the palm of her hand, and she knew clearly that this time next year would be her death day.

She is still very young, less than twenty years old, and she doesn't want to die.But from the moment she was favored by others and selected into the palace for a few taels of silver, her life no longer belonged to her—the people above wanted her to be rich and prosperous, so they won the trust and reuse of the empress dowager, and they wanted her Even if he dies, he must rush to the underworld regardless of his own safety.

Because she was the only one among hundreds of people in the entire palace who had the reason to kill Pang Zi, the wife of Cao Lu, the left guard general.

"You were punished because Cao Pangshi fell into the water last time. You lost all your face and lost your decent job, so you hold a grudge and want to revenge Cao Pangshi." The person who delivered the order said to her.

"The master knows that you have worked hard, so how can you treat your family badly? Don't worry, your parents and younger brothers and sisters will be fine, and they will live a prosperous life in the future, free from poverty and hunger." also said.

If she refuses, not only will there be no more "Chun Ling" in the palace, but even her family members will be quietly exposed to the wilderness.

If one person dies, the family will be safe and wealthy.

She didn't want to agree, but she had to agree.

Chunling wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and settled down, isn't the person not far away just General Cao's wife?

There is only one chance, and she must seize it for the sake of her family.

General Cao's wife walked slowly under the guidance of the palace servants. The gorgeous dresses and brocade clothes, and the golden hairpins in cloud buns were colorful under the bright sunshine, but for some reason, their faces were a little blurred.

Chun Ling stared intently, her fingers tightened on the rockery due to her tense nerves, and she silently calculated where would be the best time to make a move following the steps of Mrs. General Cao.

Seeing that half of the distance had been passed, General Cao's wife suddenly stopped and spoke to the servant girl behind her with an unkind expression.

After this pause, Chun Ling almost fell in front of the rockery, she was too nervous.

The servant girl held General Cao's wife's arm, and after whispering a few words, she continued on her way, unaware that the crisis was approaching.

"You must succeed, and no more failures are allowed." The man's words before leaving echoed in her ears, Chunling gritted her teeth, and watched the palace man leading the way pass by.

The time has come!

Looking at the defenseless General Cao's wife in front of her, Chun Ling suddenly exerted her strength, rushed out of her hiding place recklessly, and slammed into her viciously.

Everything happened unexpectedly, only to hear a scream piercing the quiet space, Mrs. General Cao, like a butterfly with broken wings, fell into the rippling clear lake before the maid came to rescue her!

The water splashed everywhere, and the willow branches on the trembling bank swayed chaotically.

It worked!Chunling was overjoyed, but suddenly remembered the end she was about to face and the unsustainable love. After a short moment of stupefaction, she felt like going crazy. Looking at Mrs. General Cao who was thrashing about in the lake, she smiled sharply and cried at the same time .

Although she didn't understand why she pushed Mrs. General Cao, who knew water, into the water again, but the mission was completed and her family was safe, but she was about to die...

Chun Ling was filled with grief and joy as she watched people rushing in panic, and then her arms were restrained by someone. The irresistible pressure made her fall to her knees. She could only see the chaotic footsteps coming and going, and heard people panicking. voice.

"What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and pass on to the imperial physician!"

"Go to Jiaxing Hall and inform the Holy Majesty and General Cao!"

"Is Mrs. General Cao all right?"

"Fortunately, he was rescued quickly, but he just choked on water."

"Bold servant girl, why did you kill General Cao's wife?" The person who asked the question was Qu Shi, who had recently been favored and had just been promoted from Jieyu to Rongrong, condescending and domineering.

After Chun Ling told her the reason the man gave her, she finally calmed down and stopped laughing and crying.

General Cao's wife was sent to rest in a nearby pavilion, and most of the people present also followed.Chun Ling, who was escorted by the guards, glanced at the direction in which everyone was leaving, and let out a long sigh of relief. After relaxing and calming down, the strength in her whole body seemed to be drained away. Fortunately, there was still a little strength left to walk, and she turned around. Go too far and walk towards your own road to the underworld.

Empress Zhao made arrangements on the spot and ordered the maids who were close to her to prepare hot water and suitable dresses. Two imperial physicians rushed to follow the palace maids.The concubines and official family members standing outside the curtain were whispering.

In the crowd, Mrs. Zeng and Mrs. An looked at each other proudly.

Pang Miao woke up from the nightmare, staring blankly at the bed curtain.

In the nightmare, he was standing under the wishing tree covered with red peace charms, and a falling orange just hit his head.He lifted the safety talisman that blocked his sight, and saw the yellow fruit rolling to a person's feet.

That is Cao Lv.

Holding a sword in his hand, Cao Lv sneered.

Strange as if never met.

Before he had time to speak, Cao Lu's sword had already slashed down mercilessly.

He thought that his head must have been split open, the pain was indescribable, just like when he died on the execution ground in his previous life.

His brain burst, and his death was terrifying.

Then he woke up from the pain.

Pang Miao rubbed his forehead, sat up slowly from the bed, and was about to call Jinxiu, but found that the room he was in was not Tingsongyuan!

"Jinxiu, Jinxiu." He didn't even bother to put on his shoes, and ran to the soft couch by the window, shaking Jinxiu who was asleep, and wanted to ask where they were now, because he couldn't recall anything for a moment.

But no matter how much she shakes, she still does not see Jinxiu waking up, if she is not breathing, she will be dead.

Pang Miao immediately turned around and ran to open the door, and the cool night wind and the fragrance of grass and trees rushed to his face.

The lantern under the porch emits a soft and warm orange light, the courtyard is shrouded in night, and clumps of unrecognizable black shadows stand silently, but Pang Miao knows clearly that this is a place he has never been to!

A slightly different from the usual cool breeze, indicating that he is not in the imperial capital.

There is no one in the corridor or in the courtyard, and in the silent night, it seems to be a place forgotten by the world.

Pang Miao stepped out of the threshold and looked around. Just as he was thinking about where he was going, he suddenly remembered Cao Lv's advice before he left in the morning——

"Be sure to wait until I come back."

There was a faint throbbing pain in his head, and Pang Miao felt that according to his current situation, it would be better to go back to the house.There was no one guarding the door, which meant that someone was not kidnapping, blackmailing, seeking money and murder, and it was probably arranged by Cao Lv. He just followed what Cao Lv said and waited for someone to come back.

Pang Miao retreated into the room, worried that the sleepy Jinxiu would catch a cold, so he closed the door, and when he turned around, he found a plate of horseshoe cake on the table.

Zhenyuanlou horseshoe cake is a must in the imperial capital.

Pang Miao's heart fluttered, and he sat down at the table, but he didn't eat the pastries. Instead, he propped his forehead with his hands and closed his eyes. A blue color flashed in front of his eyes, but he didn't notice anything wrong.

He carefully recalled the situation before he fell asleep, but it seemed that there was a thick haze that could not be dispelled, surrounding the previous memories heavily.He racked his brains, but couldn't remember anything.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a noise in the room, Pang Miao immediately opened his eyes vigilantly, and saw Jinxiu looking over with a blank face.

"Where are we?" She was at a loss, facing the only familiar person in the unfamiliar environment. After several glances and rubbing her eyes, she pointed at Pang Miao in surprise, "Master, what are you doing?" Time to change back to the old clothes?!"

Pang Miao lowered his head and froze at that moment, his eyes widened in horror, showing an inconceivable expression.

He often wears this outfit, so he is too familiar with it.

Before his body was alive, footsteps from far to near could be heard outside, and Pang Miao's heart skipped a beat, knowing that it was Cao Lv.

Before he could make a move, the door had already been pushed open.

Cao Lv came dressed in the splendor of the stars and the moon, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and his stern face gave Pang Miao the illusion of returning to a nightmare. His stiff body subconsciously took a step back, and his instinct for survival made a flash in his mind. Another reason to explain the big lie that has come during this time.

But... no amount of explanation can make up for the deception.

Pang Miao clenched his fists.

Cao Lu made way sideways, "Who do you see coming?"

The other half of the door was pushed open, and the person hiding outside turned his head to look over, and nodded awkwardly at Pang Miao, as if he wanted to smile to ease the atmosphere, but after a few twitches of his mouth, he still couldn't smile.

Pang Miao stared at the face similar to his own, and he didn't know whether it was joy, shock, or anger.

"Mr. Wen?!"
