Twilight collected

The orchid lantern spits out flames, and the osmanthus is bright.Qiongyan Yuque, wine cups fly frequently.

The embroidered households in the hall are brilliant, like a night market with red candles, and the dancing clothes are displayed like a blue sky and heavy clouds.The luan swallows and sings by the ears, suppressing the clouds around the beams;

At the banquet, there is a young man with a beard, a beautiful green moth, a golden cicada with a slender waist, and a beautiful jade face.

Three days after Liang Xun got married, he brought his husband back to the palace to return to Ning.Hanxuan held a big banquet for relatives and nobles, and just after Tianque went, it was not in the Maoyuan Hall or Fufeng Pavilion where the banquets were held in the past, but in the Yunqing Hall in the west of Yaozhuo Palace, which means "the wind shakes the pearls and connects the clouds to clear".

After drinking for three rounds, Hanxuan Yushan is slightly decadent, and it is propped on the table.The next one is Liang Xun, Danye and his wife and Tianruo, under Liang Xun is Jing Yan, and the next one is Lan Ze and Si Chengyan.Under the heavens are close ministers and relatives.

Han Xuan looked at Liang Xun and Dan Ye. Although the two of them had no intimacy, they were always in love.There was only a touch of pure and extreme stretch between Liang Xun's brows, and there was also worry-free joy in his eyes.The red leaf beside her is blushing, and the face of a young man is spotless and clean like jade.

But the seat next to him was empty.

I can only hear the voiceless voice of the singer: "'Mandarin ducks are quilted in the cold, and the tortoiseshell bed is born in spring. The courtyard is shaded with green mist, and the curtains are scattered with red fragrance.'"

Hearing these words, Hanxuan saw that there was a lot of delicacies on the empty table, but no one came to touch it, and it was getting colder gradually, feeling a little bitter in his heart.However, no matter what, facing Liang and Xun's love and affection, they should not show their thoughts.

"'The epilogue is with one heart, welcomes the spring with light makeup.' It is you who said it." Han Xuan leaned on the table, looked at the two over there with a smile, and said loudly, "Today's singing and dancing is very good, thank you."

All the internal officials over there brought the song-and-dance girls and musicians under their respective jurisdictions to salute and thank them, and Ji Lihongshu was among them.

Standing up, Hong Shu raised his head to look at Tianruo.Tianruo's gaze was also here, and without hesitation, he glanced at him, then continued to chat with the noble beside him with a clever smile.

Hong Shu didn't understand what it meant, but he didn't dare to show his face.He looked carefully at the banquet, everyone was just drinking and laughing, the concubine was the same as before, but interacted with people gently, maybe it was not long since she lost her husband, there was always a bit of sadness in her brows.Imperial Concubine Xuan is alone and alone now, but she is just dying in the palace, so her look of depression is even stronger than that of Lan Ze.

Looking at it carefully, my heart tightened slightly.Those high-ranking servants only saw Yuezhi beside Liang Xun and Xiaoxiao beside Tianruo.It had already been expected that Chong Lan who was beside Jing Yan would not be there, but for some reason the dignified leader Gong Xijian was not there either.Hong Shu had no choice but to comfort himself, Jing Yan was originally one with Han Xuan, perhaps Han Xuan still felt that the drama was not enough.

Thinking of this, he calmed down and sat on his seat, watching the silver candles in the hall fall more and more frequently.

He saw the two of them yesterday, they were upright and calm, among the musicians, they didn't spy on their own movements at all, and he felt a little complacent in his heart.

After drinking too much, some novelty finally appeared in Hong Shu's eyes.Seeing Chonglan enter the palace quietly, her palace attire is the same as usual, except that there are a few strands of messy hair on her temples, which is not considered disrespectful.

Chong Lan whispered a few words in Jing Yan's ear, Jing Yan's face was calm, but slowly shifted his eyes to Han Xuan, Han Xuan was a little drunk, but still smiled at Jing Yan.When Chonglan saw her, she helped Jingyan and left the Yunqing Palace.

Hong Shu knew what was in his mind, so he remained calm and made his own decisions.Just a heart, never letting go for a moment.

The moon was in the middle of the sky, Hanxuan was very happy today, and the conversation with Liang Xuntianruo and the three became more and more excited. He was not interested in the singing and dancing here, so he waved his hands and said, "Go down".Here, the singing and dancing, Sheng Xiao, got up and left, and Hong Shu also had to go out of the hall to make arrangements.

A group of people waited to retreat to the side hall, and Hong Shu only guessed in his mind Han Xuan's intention to stop dancing and music at this time, so he murmured: "I got the reward today, and I need to learn how to improve in the future. Let's go."

When he came back to his senses, the rain in Hong Shu's heart became heavier.I saw that all the dancers and musicians filed out of the hall and dispersed separately.Hong Shu saw that he was the only one left in the side hall, and he couldn't see the scene, eyes, eyes and ears, so he became very suspicious.He forced himself to be calm, and when he left the side hall, he saw that except for the on-duty guard, there were no other attendants in the hallway, so he became more suspicious.

Hong Shu quickly stepped out of the Yunqing Hall, checking his surroundings from time to time, but he didn't see anything unusual.However, I was not at ease in my heart, I just felt that it would be better to follow the rules and go out of the palace.So he walked towards Qionghan Gate.

Before arriving at the Yujin Pavilion, he was dragged into the dark place by Yinghong who was hiding in the dark.Yinghong Palace's attire is slightly disorganized, her complexion is blue and white, and under a small silver crown, most of the blue hair is loose.

Even if Hong Shudang knew something was wrong, he hurriedly asked Yinghong, but Yinghong just stood on the ground and said in a low voice: "I follow Madam's order, let the family keep an eye on Cao Cao. Around Xu time, the leader of the palace and the Huarong Palace Lord Chonglan entered Xingcao, and not long after, Lord Chonglan took the carriage back to the palace through the main entrance. Just as Madam expected, Lord Xijian also took the carriage after a while, and left through the corner gate, heading out of the city Entering the outer city, the servants startled the horse, rushed away to lead the palace, took advantage of the chaos to rob the prison cart, but did not expect that the Wang family inside was already seriously injured, unable to speak, and a useless person. Concubine Jing was cunning, It's a bluff, thinking that the back to the palace frame is the general."

Hong Shu was terrified, and his heart was cold: "How will you deal with it later?"

"The minister knew that something was wrong, so he rushed back to the palace to report the news. The Wang family was already a dead tree, and his son was abandoned. In order to avoid suspicion, he abandoned it in the Tao and quickly evacuated."

Hong Shu felt relieved: "Break it as soon as it is done, well done."

"When I returned to the palace, I saw the admiral's men and horses approaching fiercely, as if they had been prepared."

Hong Shu only said bitterly: "You and I underestimated this Lei family."

"Exactly, as soon as I returned to the palace, I saw Concubine Jing leaving the palace on a carriage."

Hearing these words, Hong Shu's heart became even heavier: "Is he alone?"

Ying Hong was also puzzled: "Yes, I haven't seen Master Chong Lan."

Hong Shu pondered for a moment, "You and I have been tricked by Lei Jingyan every step of the way. I'll go back to Yunqing Palace immediately, and you go to find Chonglan. Don't act rashly. She wants to invite you into the urn, how can it be so easy?" .”

Going back along the way you came, you can see that the lights are shining brightly, and the curtain is rolling.Hong Shu only felt that the tender wax tears and the dark dew night wind were the real and sensible things around him, and those lingering pipes, fragrant bottles and spring spirits, although they were by his side, seemed like things from another world.

There is nothing unusual in Yunqing Hall, the orchid musk deer is far away, and Qing'e is fascinated.The dignitaries in the hall were half drunk, the singing and dancing took a break, and the laughter in their ears fluctuated, and they were already looking decadent.

Tian Ruo only had a few blushes on his face, smiled and whispered to Liang Xun, and never looked at Hong Shu again.Hong Shu didn't understand what it meant, but when he looked at the three thousand jeweled shoes, flying a torch and offering a gong, the joy and entertainment came like a miasma.But Hong Shu is like a frightened bird, trying to capture the turbulent undercurrent under the golden food and jade, but he finds nothing, only full of anxiety.

Before he had time to think about it, Hong Shu's eyes became turbulent again.

There is an emerald green screen standing on the side, on which the gods and fairies have changed into light and dark.It is clearly seen that it is Sui'an, who entered the palace through Pianmen Rong.Everyone only cared about feasting, and few noticed it.

Hongshu thought to himself, it is reasonable for Lei Suian to go back to the palace to report the chaos caused by robbers and prisoners in Cai's family.

When the stream is not there, Zhiyu mostly serves inside, but is rarely seen in front of people.At this time, he turned out from behind the screen, with a timid look on his face, and whispered in Yu Hanxuan's ear.Han Xuan frowned slightly, he only helped Zhi Yu's hand, got up and left.Everyone in the hall chatted cheerfully, talking and laughing were a little stagnant, seeing that Han Xuan was silent, he didn't think of him.

Hong Shu originally wanted to watch the changes quietly, but he saw a beautiful figure behind the screen.He vaguely recognized that it was Concubine Xuan's personal maid, Huai Qing, who hurried to behind Si Chengyan, knelt down on the ground, and whispered a word through the beautiful silk veil.Si Cheng raised his sleeves and pretended to drink, but he clearly saw a bit of sternness in his brows.

After saying that, Si Chengyan's beautiful eyes moved slightly, seeing that the cups and plates in the hall were messed up, the guests were not in a good mood, and Han Xuan hadn't returned yet, so she got up carefully, pushed the screen behind her, covered herself and left.

The autumn wind suddenly blows up in Hong Shuxin.The past has passed, but I clearly remember the slight joy on Zhuqing's face when I got married, and I remember Zhuqing's ramblings when I dreamed back at midnight: "Don't talk lightly when we meet, and we will cherish the past when we part."

Yingying looked at her, the noble concubine Xuan in front of her, with strict make-up and emerald feathers, was overpoweringly beautiful.There is a bit of coquettishness in the beauty, and it is also sunny and snowy, and it is by no means coquettish.

After the silk gauze, he couldn't hide his anxiety for a moment, and lost his sense of propriety, regardless of his gorgeous clothes, he just threw himself away.A body dyed with plum, after the tooth-colored silk, lost its publicity.

Hong Shu sighed softly, what kind of golden branches and jade leaves were there back then, the world has changed and time has changed, so they can only keep a low profile.

Here Hanxuan entered the hall, his face was not as serious as when he left, he just smiled and stroked Liang Xun's shoulder, joking a few words.After being seated, he glanced at the hall and said casually, "Where is Concubine Xuan?"

Lan Ze couldn't bear the feast, he had already left the palace, and Jing Yan was not there, so no one answered.Seeing this, Liang Xun murmured: "For him, what's the interest in a grand banquet and fine wine. I'm so close to each other, if I fall into his eyes, I'm afraid it will touch the scene and hurt my heart."

Han Xuan didn't ask any more questions, seeing that Dan Ye's cheeks were as red as clouds, and he was slow to speak, everyone laughed again.

But amidst the joyful faces in the hall, only Hung's mind is unceasing, like a fish in a pond and a bird in a cage, don't move rashly, being subjected to the hustle and bustle for life, his heart is in chaos like hemp.

Everyone knows that there will be no peace tonight.After a while, I could faintly hear shouts from outside the hall, coming from far to near, all the way to Yunqing Hall.Hong sat at the end of the table, only ten steps to the gate of the palace, only to hear the voice, shouting "urgent report!"

As soon as he heard it clearly, some palace people rushed into the palace, stumbled and fell in front of Hanxuan's case.All the seats were shocked for a moment, and the laughter stopped immediately.

"Your Majesty, the carriages of Concubine Jing and His Majesty's carriage met an accident on the way back to the palace. They were hit by fire arrows and burned."

Han Xuan's complexion turned pale immediately, "Where are Jingyan and Xi seeing people?"

"Fortunately, my lady and my lord escaped the disaster in time and were not injured."

Han Xuan just sat down on the seat in a daze, his face as thin as paper.Tianruo also had a look of fear on his face, seeing that Hanxuan was silent, he asked, "Who did it, and can anyone be caught?"

"The thief opened his bow in secret. The empress and the lord had many attendants, and they were not far from the palace gate. The thief only shot two arrows, and then fled in the mountains. The servants came all the way to call the police. When entering the palace gate, Lord Chonglan had already rode his horse. go."

Han Xuan calmed down a bit, but his anger remained undiminished.Immediately call the crowd to disperse, and get up to check the scenery.Liang Xun will naturally go, and if the sky is in a dilemma, he will go with him.All the family members of the palace walked towards the gate of the palace in a mighty manner.

Hong Shu didn't expect the situation to be so complicated, only Liushen Wuzhu sat on the table, seeing this situation, he had to follow the crowd and leave the Yunqing Palace.

But he didn't expect that Yinghong was hiding outside the door, and there was a palace of people behind him, with slender bodies.Hong calmed down, and when he saw people he didn't notice, he left the flow of people.

Turning around the corridor in a hurry, it was only then that behind Yinghong was Huai Qing who was beside Concubine Xuan.Before Yinghong could speak, Huaiqing knelt down in front of him.Hong Shu was shocked, Huai Qing might not be inferior to him in terms of rank, at this time he received a big gift, and taught him to be trembling and panic for a while.

"Mrs. Wei Rang, my mother invited Madam to the Shuyu Pavilion, and took you out of the palace through the north gate."

Hong Shu was speechless for a while, if Concubine Xuan's master and servant were also arranged by Concubine Jing, I'm afraid that he and Zhu Qing would be lost forever.There are so many thoughts in my heart, I only look at Yinghong.

Ying Hong was obedient, and said: "I was ordered by my wife to look for Chonglan, but I saw that the imperial concubine Xuan was going to Beiyuan alone. Not long after, I heard that Concubine Jing and the lord of the palace were attacked. People warned all the way, Chonglan got the news, and hurriedly rode away from the palace. At this time, Lord Huaiqing came to look for his servants."

Huaiqing knelt in a graceful manner, with a pretty face and a calm expression, one could tell at a glance that she was everyone's demeanor.Seeing Hong Shu's doubts, he only said: "The situation in the palace is perverse today. Our empress watched with cold eyes. She knew that Concubine Jing wanted to transfer his wife away from the mountain and give the general to death in order to prevent the princess from ascending the throne. Empress secretly arranged for someone to destroy Concubine Jing. Chariot, lead Chonglan away, and go to save the general alone. The empress is inseparable from the nine-fold jade tower, and I can only rely on my wife for everything."

Seeing that Hong Shu was looking around, unable to make a decision, Huai Qing's tone became a bit more serious: "My mother knows that Madam must have doubts. Madam, did Madam ever think that Madam will rob prisoners with swords and swords tonight, how could the Lei family not know in the future? Will you let it go lightly? The empress's move has long since ruined the boat, and she will die for nothing."

Hong Shu looked at Huai Qing, under the dim palace lanterns, the blood-colored palace attire looked like a remnant.He has deep brows and eyes like Concubine Xiaoxuan, but he is even more lonely and cold, with a serious look on his face.

"Why don't Concubine Xuan go away with Zhuqing, and from then on, there will be mountains and rivers, and a grand case?"

Hearing Hong Shu's words, Huai Qing only saw Jingying.

"If the empress leaves the palace, the Sicheng, Wei Rang, and Ji Li families will definitely not be able to survive. If the empress stays, she can still die, so that the Lei family can let the general and his wife live."

All three are silent.Hongshu recalled for no reason that Yuque changed hands, and returned gradually.In that melancholy, there seemed to be a little helplessness and joy.Roughly speaking, it is joy to die for a Sri Lankan.The same is true for Sri Lankan people in Zhuqing.As for myself, I only survived in the deep love between the two of them separated by thousands of mountains and mountains.But he knows that the two of them are deeply in love, even if it is a good story, it is just a good story.

Powerless to think about it, Hongshu ran towards Beiyuan alone, Yinghong lost color slightly, and also hurriedly chased after him.

Huai Qing was still kneeling in the pavilion, and when she raised her head, two lines of clear tears streamed down the corners of her eyes.Just now where Cai Hongshu was standing, behind him was the gloomy mountain, scattered here and there with palaces and palaces.Looking at it at a glance, but the sky is like washing, and the cold moon is as old as before.

On the night of early summer, the sky is bright and the moon is bright, and the forest is sparse.

There is no light in the room, the window screen is clear, and the moonlight is like a practice, falling all over the window and covering the ground with mottled bamboo shadows.In the meantime, there are occasional fireflies, flying and flickering.

Zhuqing never thought that he could see the indigo color again in this dim light.

"Zhuqing." But hearing the two words, it was already painful.Looking at the slanting bamboo shadow gradually, the window lattice decorations are imprinted on the jade face of Si Chengyan, so real and touching, even the slight tears can be seen moving slightly.

Si Chengyan swung his sword and cut off the shackles on Zhuqing's body, only then did Zhuqing see that the blade of the sword was covered in blood.Looking at Si Chengyan's cheeks, even though there are drops of scarlet, under the thin moonlight, they are still the color of snow.

I don't know whether it's because of the infatuation or the extreme pain, the two of them were silent for a long time.Only the shadows of the whirling trees are accompanied by the faint singing of cicadas.The little drops of the fireflies are shining, and with the early summer night wind, they gently brush their hair on the temples.

"You go, don't save me." Zhu Qing had already cleared his face, "I am already a mortal body, you must not be a fish screen swallow for me again."

Seeing Zhuqing's tears like waterfalls, Si Chengyan's face was light, with a hint of a smile on his face.

"Ling, do you remember that year when you came back from Jindu, you saw the hibiscus in the road, you said, 'The flowers are fine in the spring clothes, and the hibiscus is fragrant at the first feast', you and I will be October tung flowers, covering each other for reunion."

Slowly and dumbfoundedly, she burst into tears.

"But I don't want to, you and I will eventually become hibiscus, blooming in the morning and thanking in the evening, only to be honored once." Si Chengyan put down the sword, a pair of bare hands, caressed the face up and down, ups and downs for several years, the young man's jade face has long been A bit rough, "Five years apart, time is not long, but things are different. At that time, Pianpian was already a group of wives and concubines, and I was already in this deep palace. Soliton."

Zhu Qing raised her hand, lightly grasping the onion-shaving ten fingers, "It's been five years, didn't we meet in front of Dechi Palace that day."

"Swords meet with swords, swords fight with each other." Si Chengyan smiled wryly, "What you saw that day was just the noble concubine Xuan of tomorrow, not the Si Chengyan when I was young."

It seemed that there was a wind blowing, and the corners of the two clothes moved slightly.The humming of cicadas in the ear, slightly dimmed, and then clear again.

There was still a slight smile on the corner of Zhuqing's mouth, but his emotions were surging and he couldn't hold back, he said sharply: "Zhuqing has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he should have been loyal to the country in this life and died at the hands of the enemy. But you, if you can't do it, you can't go back to the day Miss Yunying, you can still be a dignitary in this deep palace, don’t be doomed for me. You go away! The Lei family gave me death to prevent the princess from ascending the throne, you can protect yourself wisely.”

Before Zhuqing could finish speaking, Si Chengyan hugged Zhuqing and lost his grip, "I'm already here, how can I retreat?"

After saying that, Si Cheng said to let go of Zhu Qing, Zhu Qing didn't understand what it meant, but saw him suddenly open the side door, behind the door was a sad-faced Hong Shu.

"In this life, I can't fly without wings. If you can leave, I have a perfect plan."

Zhu Qing was stunned, only looked deeply at Si Chengyan, and had no time to care about the loneliness on Hong Shu's face, "How can I leave you here alone, ups and downs in the rivers and seas, happy and comfortable? How did you come up with a perfect plan, Lei's snake and scorpion, why did you Self-preservation?"

"Stop talking again, it's better for me to be locked up in the deep palace alone than for all three of us to be captured and die." Si Cheng said, pushing the two of them, "Huaiqing is already at the north gate, you two have climbed over Yushan, Lengyue Pavilion There are fast horses outside, let's go back to Shenzhou."

Zhu Qing pulled Si Chengyan up, his eyes were burning, "You and I will go together. I will never leave you here, to be bullied by Lei's family."

"You can rest assured that Mrs. Lei is careless. I know many secret affairs of the palace. The whole world, power and honor are tied to this. He can't touch me, and he dare not touch me. Otherwise, how could he Leaving me to languish until now? Without me, wouldn't the entire imperial palace be surnamed Lei?"

Seeing that Zhuqing was skeptical and hesitant, Si Chengyan just shouted "Get out!", casually picked up the saber at his feet, and put it across his neck.Knowing that persuasion is useless, he turned his eyes to Hong Shu who was at the side.

Hong Shu understood immediately, he just grabbed Zhu Qing, stumbled and ran out.

The night wind brought it, but Yu Zhu called softly: "Yan'er."

What an afterimage in a distant memory that is, and it is also a pleasure that I can no longer enjoy in this life.

Si Chengyan stood under the window in a daze, covered in indigo, still mottled tree shadows.The sharp blade lay quietly at the foot, the blade was bright red, dripping all over the ground.

Looking at the bright white moonlight filtered by the window screen, thinking of the early summer in Jindu, the flowers bloom like clouds.

But he didn't want to, a word came out of nowhere, and he was so shocked that his soul flew out of his wits.

"Your Majesty thinks that the two of them can get out of this Shuyu Pavilion?"
