I stood by the bed in a daze, not knowing whether it was doubt, sadness, or even...pain in my heart, these emotions were intertwined in my mind, knocking on my already fragile nerves.

I covered my head and shook, leaning on the table, almost breaking the teacup on the table.

A low moan suddenly sounded in my ear, I was forced to pull out of the confusion, and hurriedly tucked my belt back.

Li Chengyin slowly opened his eyes, frowned slightly after seeing me, then closed his eyes and opened them again, after a long time of scrutiny, he finally widened his eyes: "...Xiaofeng?"

This call really seemed like a lifetime ago, I was stunned at the spot, watching him stand up with a sullen face, and glanced at the closed door: "Did they ask you to come?"

I nodded: "They told me that you are a little seriously ill."

Li Chengyin stretched out his hand to touch the center of his eyebrows, then smiled again: "Listen to their nonsense, it's nothing, I'm fine, but I've been busy recently."

As he said that, he put down his hands, lowered his eyes, and looked around the pillow. After a slight sigh of relief, he raised his head and said, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

He stretched out his hands from under the quilt, touched my folded hands under the sleeves, and frowned slightly: "Hands are so cold, didn't Yong Niang give you a hand stove?"

As soon as he mentioned Yong Niang, I suddenly withdrew my hand: "You, don't blame her, I didn't want it myself."

Li Cheng Yin stared blankly at me, showing a little bit, clutching the corner of his clothes, and then slowly looked into my eyes: "Are you worried about me? Or do you have something to say?"

My heart skipped a beat, and I lied involuntarily: "I'm worried about you, you haven't woken up, I'm afraid something will happen to you."

Li Chengyin leaned on the bedside and judged me, then smiled and said: "Since you're here, you can sleep with me for a while, I haven't been sleeping very well recently."

I covered up my complicated emotions and nodded repeatedly: "Okay."

I took off my coat, Li Cheng Yin moved to the pillow next to his belt, and lifted the quilt.

I hesitated for a moment, and I was inexplicably afraid that he would see it, so I quickly took advantage of the situation and lay down under the quilt.

Li Chengyin moved towards me, put his hands under his neck, buried his head in my shoulders, and said in a low voice: "I'm very happy that you can come to see me."

I responded perfunctorily, and my mind was full of familiar but vague fragments.

Li Chengyin clenched his hands tightly, and coaxed softly: "Since you've fallen asleep, take a good rest."

I quickly closed my eyes.

His warm breath sprayed on my neckline, which made it itchy again and again, but I remained motionless, with my eyes tightly closed and cold sweat in my hands.

I don't know how long it took, but listening to his long and steady breathing, I also fell into a half-dream and half-awake state.

The red belt was so clear in my dream, it appeared in my hand, and my cuffs were embroidered with a red background.

I held it up to the tall man standing in front of me, and he stretched out his slender fingers, trying to take my belt.

I heard his laughter, as well as the laughter of the people around me. Wild geese fluttered across the sky, and their gray feathers fell on my shoulders.

The scene in the dream was very strange, he turned and left before he took it, I stopped him, wrapped the belt around his waist, smoothed out the wrinkles meticulously, and looked up at him.

He cupped my face, I couldn't see his face clearly.

Finally, without saying anything, he turned and ran away.

I craned my neck to look at his back, expecting him to turn around.

He turned back.

His face was covered with blood, he wore a golden armor on his head, and held a blood-red long knife in his hand. His eyes were wide open and there was a faint glow.

Someone screamed in my ear:

"Aon!!"

I don't know who it is, or even if it's calling this.

I couldn't hear clearly, and I couldn't feel the cold wind blowing the flag, but my vision gradually became clearer.

The person who took my belt was holding a long knife at the moment, looking at me from a distance through the crowd.

My heart was seized by an invisible force, and I couldn't breathe from the pain.

That face, lying beside me right now—

It's Li Chengyin.

I shuddered and woke up.

The cold sweat on his hands had disappeared, replaced by tears hanging from his eyelashes.

I breathed heavily, as if someone had just been lifted out of the water, and my mind was buzzing like mosquitoes flying all over the summer grassland, noisy and annoying.

Something in my heart is about to come out.

Just one more look at the belt, just one look, and I can find that disjointed memory.

Li Chengyin fell asleep, still resting his hand under my body, but slightly moved away from me.

After hesitating for a while, I reached out tremblingly, and quietly poked under his pillow.

His fingertips were already touching the pillow.

I swallowed my saliva and continued to dig deeper...

Suddenly, the wrist was grabbed!

I was so frightened that my whole body trembled, my mind went blank and my consciousness went blank, and I only instinctively followed that hand to look over.

Li Chengyin looked at me with serious eyes.

My breathing became disordered.

Li Chengyin's eyes moved slightly, revealing a smile, as if the look in his eyes just now was just my illusion: "Xiaofeng, are you awake?"

I nodded subconsciously, and wanted to withdraw my hand, but Li Chengyin didn't let go, and looked at me.

I grabbed the cloth under my body nervously, and said, "Your shoulders are exposed, I want to cover you."

Li Chengyin scrutinized my every move, until I twitched again, then he released his five fingers, and pulled the quilt up for me instead:

"It's cold, your hands are cold, don't move around when you sleep."

I couldn't help nodding, and said tentatively, "I should get up, there are still some things in the room that I haven't finished."

Li Cheng Yin opened his mouth to say something, but Shi En's voice sounded outside the house:

"Your Highness, an urgent copy has arrived."

After hearing this sentence, I was inexplicably relieved, while Li Chengyin was gloomy for a while, then slowly got up and looked at me: "If you have anything to take, I'll send someone to get it. You will stay with me tonight .”

I grabbed his sleeve and said with a twisted gesture: "But... it's not convenient for them to take it... I'll go for a while and be back soon."

Li Cheng Yin frowned and pondered for a while: "Then I'll send someone to follow you."

I nodded in agreement.

The Royal Forest Army behind me followed me every step of the way, seeing that I deviated from the direction, and stopped me aloud:

"Crown princess! You are going the wrong way!"

I walked forward without looking back, and the leader quickly stepped forward to stop me: "Crown Princess, the road ahead is not the way back to the palace, please go back with me!"

Those people stepped on the snowy snow, and I slowly shifted my gaze to the panting leader's face, paused, and then turned to look at the closed gate not far away:

"You said, what is there?"

After the leader glanced at it, he was sweating in the cold wind: "Crown Princess, that's just an abandoned palace!"

I nodded and looked at the two soldiers who were nervously looking at me in front of the gate: "Yes, I seem to remember that someone told me that it was in disrepair for a long time and was closed."

The leader breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, the princess, it will be rebuilt in a few days, and you will be able to see it soon.

I ignored him and continued on.

The leader's movements became even more flustered, and he even stepped in front of me: "Crown Princess, please go back!"

The two people at the door knelt down.

I glanced at them and said in a deep voice, "Get out of the way."

The leader knelt heavily: "Please return the princess!"

I wanted to laugh a little: "You think you can stop me, don't you?"

The leader paused, looked up and saw me striding towards the side wall, and then smashed the tea bowl I took out from Li Chengyin's palace into sharp pieces!

I put it against my throat: "Open the door for me!"

The Imperial Forest Army looked at me tremblingly, and I clenched my hands tightly, letting the cold wind blow my cloak: "If you don't open, I will die."

The leader hurriedly kowtowed: "Crown Princess! We must die if you die, but we must die too!"

I laughed: "You are also afraid of death, aren't you?"

They buried their heads in silence.

I nodded: "Okay, I'll give you a choice. Open the door, if I don't tell you, everyone is fine. If you don't open the door, I will die, and you will die with me."

I looked at the trembling head and asked:

"how?"

After a long silence, the leader suddenly fell into the snow:

"I... listen to the order."

The heavy door was closed for a long time by a thin iron lock, and the moment the door was pushed, the creaking noise was swallowed up by the wind and snow.

I crossed the threshold alone, walked in step by step, raised my hand and commanded to the people behind me: "You are not allowed to come in."

Everyone stood outside the door in silence.

The wind mixed with snowflakes poured into my neck, but I didn't feel cold at all. Those complicated memories were squeezed into my blank mind, making it painful to breathe.

In front of my eyes is not the torn white sky, but the bloody night.

I looked towards the high platform, and there was a girl who looked exactly like me, lying on the platform and stretching out her hand, shouting:

"Do not!!"

why no?

cannot?don't want?Still can't believe it?

Why didn't she believe that he could do that kind of thing?

Standing behind her was a man in black clothes, his slender body was so conspicuous in the dark imperial forest army.But it was too conspicuous, so I saw his violent eyes and distorted face at a glance.

He moved his eyes away from the girl, looked at the now empty ground, pondered for a moment, and finally spoke:

"Fire arrows!!"

"No!" I yelled, and turned my head to look at the place where the flying arrow shot. It passed through a fresh life and left a concave and convex mark on the wall.

My legs went limp and I almost fell to the ground.

"Fire arrows!!"

"Fire arrows!"

"Pei Zhao, continue!"

No... I have already lost the strength to scream, my chest seems to be pierced by random arrows, and the cold wind blows through.

So this is ah……

I leaned on the wall and pressed my chest, unable to suppress the deeper and deeper grief and remorse in my heart.

It turned out to be like this... My memory of being eaten up turned out to be like this...

Li Chengyin's face alternated in front of my eyes.

他 说:

"They're all irrelevant people."

"Drink it, drink it!"

"Are you afraid of me?"

"You hate me that much? You want to kill me?"

……

After knowing everything, I calmed down instead.

There were no hysterical screams, no crying, not even tears.

I stood up straight unsteadily, looking at the deserted old land, the heavy snow covered everything, including the blood, remorse, and resentment.

It's been so long that I've forgotten so many times.

With all kinds of emotions circling in my mind, I walked alone in the vast snow.

If a tall building looks down on me, it's like an ant struggling in a sugar trap, step by step, walking towards the future where I can't tell the direction.

At the end of the road, I saw Yong Niang.

She stood in the wind and snow with the stove in her hand and waited for me to come back.

I smiled and laughed, tears still fell:

"Yong Niang, I don't have a home anymore."
