Twilight collected

Plum rotten lotus round June day.

It's the Liyue at that time, and the heat is scorching; thousands of hectares of emerald green waves, and the shade of beautiful trees;

After visiting Liang Xun from Guyuan Palace, Hanxuan is leaving the palace with his support.Liang Xun was suffering from grief, Hanxuan couldn't bear it, and his heart was full of melancholy, so he never went back to Yaozhuo Palace to manage politics.

It was almost dusk, and the blue sky was brilliant, and a slant of the setting sun made the nine-fold jade palace a warm red.

It has been more than a month since the change of Nahum, and the princess has only lived in seclusion in the mansion, and there has been no change.In the middle of the court, clouds pass through the sky, and the water is calm.However, Hanxuan only felt that when the wind and waves calmed down, someone had drawn the strings and was ready to launch a hidden arrow, teaching him not to slack off a bit.

Hanxuan Suai went to the Chenxiang Pavilion, and the Zongmao Garden Hall was burned, but the soft waves of the Hongqiao are still there.Han Xuan sat by the water, looking at the broken walls and scorched earth, his face was as deep as an autumn pool.

"Is there any change in the princess near here?"

"Since the princess was grounded, all the guards in the old mansion have been replaced by cronies in the palace. Even those who deliver food and water have been carefully screened. For dozens of days, there has been no disturbance."

"Princess's palace is deep, and the roots behind her are tightly packed. How can she be defeated in one blow, and she must come back." Han Xuan held a new lotus in his hand, and gently played with Ling Bo, "Is there any news from Zhi Yu?"

"The letter from Zhiyu the day before yesterday, since the fourteenth day of the fifth lunar month, I have been honest and sincere. Concubine Xuan stayed at home to mourn and attend the funeral. After the seven affairs are over, I can get up and drive back to the palace."

"There are people in the DPRK, China, and the day and day who advise that the princess and Sicheng's family should be severely punished, and they will never have any future troubles. I use the white matter as an excuse to delay and delay the strategy of delaying the army. However, when Concubine Xuan comes back to the palace, I'm afraid There will be no more peace. If the Sicheng family expected this, they would not dare to return the court."

"For the sake of the whole family, and especially for Wei Rang, he will keep his promise."

When the sun is setting and the sun is setting, Han Xuan is at a loss for a while, looking at the red lotus and green stalks.

Suddenly seeing Qingrui approaching, Hanxuan knew that there was something wrong in the inner palace, although he was extremely disgusted, he only sighed, stood up and waited for him to walk in front of him.

"Your Majesty, that Wei Rang committed suicide by cutting his pulse lightly, and was investigated by the palace people. Now the imperial doctor is treating him in the Shuyu Pavilion."

Hanxuan didn't care about the waves, but said indifferently: "Since he was investigated by others, I don't think there is any serious problem. He has been confined here for several months, why did he think of committing suicide today?"

"The incident happened suddenly, and the servants are still unclear."

"Then pass on the sedan chair and follow me to Beiyuan."

Shuyu Pavilion is a small courtyard with bamboos planted, clear and sparse.

Entering the room, I saw several guards on the bamboo couch, holding down Wei Rang's hands and feet tightly, and the imperial doctor was able to bandage them carefully.The room was noisy and chaotic.

Seeing this, Hanxuan couldn't help being slightly angry, and said sharply: "The seven-foot man, who was once a general of the imperial court and the British, committed suicide here and caused chaos. He is really a coward!"

Hearing the words gradually, he stopped struggling and collapsed on the couch, with two lines of turbid tears streaming down.

Hanxuan shouted to the palace crowd: "You wait to step back!"

Seeing and hearing the words, Xi Xi spoke out to dissuade him: "This man is violent and has mischievous intentions. For the sake of safety, Your Majesty, please think twice."

"It doesn't matter. If something happens to me, the princess will become a great treasure. Do you think Concubine Xuan can still live?" Han Xuan smiled slightly, only looked sideways, but couldn't refute.

Seeing that Xi was worried, he left a sentence "The subject is outside the door" before closing the door and retreating.

Hanxuan stands in the pavilion, and the setting sun shines through the window screens, printing the carved patterns all over Hanxuan's body, illuminating a jade face of Hanxuan, half red and half dark.He turned his head to look at it lightly, and said calmly: "I have locked you up for several months, and you can keep your place. How could something happen suddenly today. I think it's not because of the summer heat, which taught you to be afraid of ashes. Think about it once and for all. Bar."

"The matter has come to this, and I'm not afraid of you knowing." Zhu Qing concluded for a long time before gritting his teeth and said: "June [-] is my birthday, and the imperial concubine secretly sent the palace servants to open up the joints and send some body repairs. When the palace servants go , chatting with the guards, I stood inside the gate, and only after listening to his words, did I know the disaster of Princess Chishu. The reason for the protection. I have recognized a thief as my father for many years, and I have also risked to be his son-in-law. I am so ignorant and ignorant, and I have a filial piety. How can I not hate? Now I am a bird in a cage. Once you die, you can comfort the deceased father's spirit in heaven."

"Na Si Chengping is dead, and the princess is also impeached by the officials. You can rest in the claustrophobic home." Seeing his face full of tears, Hanxuan only became colder, and said in a deep voice: "'A man should die in the frontier, Bury your ears with a corpse in horse leather, cut your wrists behind closed doors, and only teach people jokes."

"I am trapped in a prison, and it is difficult to die. After all, you are a poisonous woman with a high mind, and I am trapped here. The sword is away from me, and I live in a palace without beams. I have nothing to use. I just You can only break the bowl when the palace servants deliver the food, and take the sharp one." Lie lightly on the couch, not looking at Hanxuan.Those few rays of afterglow fell on his face, showing the meaning of depression.

However, Hanxuan's thoughts were elsewhere, so he never felt annoyed: "If you are really unarmed, where did the fire arrow come from that day?"

"It's just a bamboo branch, thrown with bare hands." Zhuqing said bitterly, "I thought it was someone else asking for help. If I knew it was you, I would only wish I could hammer the bones to the bone. How could I save you, a vicious woman."

"You don't want to be righteous here, and take advantage of the quickness of your tongue. You knew it was me that day, so you gave a helping hand. It is only because you know in your heart that if someone else comes to power, both of you will be lost forever."

Hearing Hanxuan's words, Zhuqing only had a slight look on his face, and said nothing.

"Pray for the emperor to be incompetent and incompetent. To replace him is the will of the people. You say you are loyal and cause troubles to show your high righteousness, but you are just trying to gain fame. If Nasi Chengyan is on the throne today, you will also Killing relatives with righteousness, serving death and losing loyalty?"

Han Xuan saw that Zhu Qing's eyebrows were a little weak, and he knew that what he said had reached his heart.Then he changed his stern expression, and said softly: "I think you have done a great job in saving him, and Si Chengping is dead. You don't have to wait for the noble concubine to return to the palace. You will be released to Jindu soon, and you will end up as a civil servant."

After saying that, Han Xuan didn't intend to stay any longer, so he opened the door and went out.

When I left the Shuyu Pavilion, it was dawn and the moon was rising, and the wind was clear and peaceful.

Seeing Hanxuan walking down the stone steps, Xixi temporarily put down the guard of honor and followed him alone.

"Imperial Concubine Ruoxuan and Wei Rang have both left the jurisdiction, fearing that they will fight together and cause another storm."

"That's all. The two of them are weak, but they are just bereaved dogs. Let them go west, just as the two of them are infatuated. Besides, Si Chengping is dead. Even if he is rich in soldiers and food, what is the use? Later, there was an edict from the first emperor, this imperial seat is still like pins and needles, let alone a childless concubine. If he has the heart to step up, let alone me, the princess must not let it go." Hanxuan leaned on the fence and saw the clear green below. In the palace, there are only a few points of darkness, just like An Zhi's cold face.

"Your Majesty is not afraid of the collusion between the two, but the Sicheng family's self-inflicted violence, just to dismount the princess and clear the way for her future?"

"On the surface, I am the only one who benefits. The one who started the figurine may be someone else." Han Xuan sighed, "I am afraid that it is the visitor from the palace that the Wei Rang family said, and it was not sent by Si Cheng."

"If this person restrains the princess and the Sicheng family with one move, takes advantage of the time to attack the flaws, kills two birds with one stone, and uses a little trick to get rid of Wei Rang and make the weaker ones, such a scheming and tricky plan, it will really make people's teeth cold."

Hanxuan sat for a while, got up and wanted to go back, picked up the steps, and said lightly: "Therefore, letting Wei Rang go by himself is also a dangerous move. The mainstay is in the middle, to save the people and save things. Let's use this to let the tiger go back to the mountain and force it to return to the court."

Beiyuan is right in front of you, a few steps away, outside the first gate, is the place where the lights are brightly lit.The two walked in the dark, only to feel that the shadow of the lamp seemed far away.

Hanxuan's voice was like a cold spring: "Tomorrow morning, tell the courtiers that I can't stand the cold. I should meditate for a few days and supervise the country with Concubine Jing. You go and prepare a fast horse immediately, and we will go overnight."

Since returning from Xianshan many years ago, Hanxuan has never been out of the capital.This trip only brought Xi Jian and a dozen elite soldiers of Habayashi, and they left Miyagi overnight at high speed.

After traveling all night and changing horses several times, by the early morning light, he had already traveled more than a hundred miles to the capital.

The east is getting whiter, walking between the fields, you can see the wheat long like clouds, the breeze blows through, and the clear river in the distance, the emerald green smoke.

The dark frogs gathered around him, the birds occasionally made noise, and the wind came from the sleeves, sending a little bit of wheat fragrance, Han Xuan couldn't help feeling a little relieved, and a little happier.

The dozen or so Yubayashi followed behind, and suddenly heard a dark whistle from the stream, the leader of the Yubayashi immediately urged his horse to walk in front of Hanxuan, and the group of people surrounded Hanxuan in the middle like this.

Han Xuan looked back, only to see the end of the road, there was a little bit of dust behind the ridge of wheat, and he felt serious.

When the fields are exhausted, they enter the mountains and forests.Ten thousand trees are contending for prosperity, and the mountains are covered with verdant greenery, which seems to be the same as in those days.

Hanxuan's heart trembled as he faintly heard the sound of logging, and there was a sourness in his eyes.

When the horse entered the forest, he had to walk slowly. The people circled around for half a day before they could vaguely see a few huts in the deep forest.Hanxuan raised his hand, and intentionally walked a few steps forward, a few feet away from the attendants.

Walking through the forest and over the trees, Fang could see clearly that this was the place where the two of them met on the Qixi Festival of that year.That day, the sky was blue and the dew was heavy, and the two sat facing the moon and the wind, sitting on the thatched hut, admiring the silver man on the magpie bridge together, and the auspicious clouds came and went freely.

Looking at it today, the thatched hut has long been decayed, and it is no longer as clean as it used to be.Only a few stacks of fresh firewood in front of the door can we know that there are people living there.

"Once the golden wind and the jade dew meet, they will win but there are countless people in the world." Han Xuan couldn't help muttering to himself, raising his eyes to look at the towering ancient tree, his heart was full of sadness, which brought tears to his eyes.

"You came."

With a word behind him, Hanxuan knew it was Sui'an, so he just wiped away his tears, and when he turned around, he returned to Gaohua's peaceful attitude.

Suian in front of him has returned to his coarse and short brown clothes, with a bow on his back and an axe on his back.Many years have passed, and that wild spirit has already lost soldiers and generals, and replaced it with a vicissitudes of life.

"I'll pick you up and return." Han Xuan's face was like still water, unable to distinguish between happiness and anger.

"I'm tired of holding wats and dynasties, and the courts are fighting and fighting. I only want to live in forests and springs, and live in mountains and valleys. I want to be at ease. And in the middle of the court, the heron fills the court. Those who are worthy of themselves can help the country to assist the government and rule out yin and yang." Sui'an ignored Hanxuan, just put the firewood on his back in front of the house, and started chopping firewood by himself.

Seeing his disapproval, Hanxuan felt a little timid in his heart, and said again: "Wei Rang is released to Jindu by light, and it coincides with Sichengping Xianyou, and Concubine Xuan is attending the funeral outside. If the two join forces, they will live If there is a catastrophe, the country will perish."

"Your Majesty governs the court with a long-term vision and deep self-confidence. There is no need to worry too much. Besides, I am no longer the general who guards the land, and the three armies are also in the hands of Your Majesty. If there is any danger ahead, Your Majesty should study the art of war and be prepared to fight. How can I come here? I'm an idler."

Sui'an dropped the ax and chopped wood with vigor and sharpness, the sound resounded through Han Xuan's heart, Han Xuan was speechless for a moment.

"I don't think that one day, you and I will be so cold-hearted." Han Xuan sighed, "The one you are brooding about should be Zhonggong."

Hearing this, Sui'an stopped the ax in his hand and stood still on the spot without saying a word.

Han Xuan smiled wryly, and took off his cloak, inside he was wearing a blue plain dress, not decorated with pearls and jade, and his skin was blue and white.Hanxuan took a few steps forward, with his back to Suian, not daring to reveal his sad face lightly: "I first met Nanguo at the age of 16, and I fell in love with him at first sight. He has read a lot of books, his writing is amazing, and his writing is like a god. After reading it, you will know that only such a person can be the love of my life. It's a pity that he has no interest in me from the beginning to the end."

"Then what about the late emperor? Since you belonged to yourself, how could you be so devoted to others, and still deceive him into entrusting him to the world."

"If you say that I stole the country, then why didn't the first emperor rely on me to cooperate with the outside to become the great treasure? The first emperor and I just helped each other. If we say that there is love, it is also the love of husband and wife. The so-called husband and wife, where are there so many piano sounds? Singing in harmony, raising the case with eyebrows, having a long stream of water, and being in the same boat through wind and rain is a blessing. It is different from love at first sight." Han Xuan only looked down at the rotten trees and branches at his feet, and did not dare to look at Sui'an, "And when the late emperor was here, I would never go beyond Let Lei Chi take one step, and he should have a clear conscience."

"When you are in the palace, you are bound to behave properly, but you think about him every day, and he is always in your heart."

"So what, he is just my dream overnight. I coerced him here and set him up as the middle palace. Everyone in the world said that I was passionate and arrogant, but how did I ever get anything? It was just an empty complaint That's all."

Sui'an didn't answer any more, the two were silent for a long time, only the sound of insects in the mountains came and went.

"I know that the hatred in your heart is hard to get rid of. I just feel that you are full of sincerity, but you are easily let down by others. And why am I not like this? Isn't the princess also like this?"

Hanxuan cried out, in this empty mountain, he felt more and more desolate.

"This is the end of the matter, why doesn't the princess show up?" Han Xuan looked back at the prime minister, and behind the hut, a touch of black color appeared.Unbuttoning the cloak, I saw that it was Tian Ruo's red dress.

Tianruo's face was full of light, he only looked at Hanxuan, and said helplessly: "You are really far away, knowing that I will accompany you all the way."

"It's because I knew that the princess has psychic eyes and ears. It's rare for me to leave the palace. It must be a big event. How could the princess ignore it."

Han Xuan and Tian Ruo, the two have always been tit for tat, the momentum is like a rainbow.But at this moment, they are all in a gentle and desolate state. Seeing this, Suian couldn't bear it.

"Princess is not a troublemaker, and all these things are just for you." Han Xuan put on his cloak and turned his back to Sui'an, "It doesn't matter if the situation forces you or I want to force you, now there are disturbances in all directions, and the court in the middle Instability. In order to live up to the entrustment of the late emperor, and to repay the righteousness of your husband and wife, you should return to the court to assist the government, order the chaos and revive the government. I will be in the palace, waiting for your return."

Han Xuan took a few steps, and finally turned his head and said: "I can't live in peace forever, there will always be a break."

A group of people waited and rode away.Hanxuan's heroic posture on the horse is hidden in the forest, full of sadness.The two watched him go away, and the group of people only escaped in the dense forest.

In front of the thatched hut, there are only two people left, and the sky is like the only bright red peony on the sideburns, and there is no more gold and jade.The usually lonely face has turned into a flood of hurt at this moment.

"Whether it's Tianque or his poor mother, although it's not a holiday, I have a little bit of envy. After all, when they are here, someone will be with them, loving and harmonious. But my mother and I are just abandoned by others." , the clouds scattered in Gaotang."

"The princess hurt herself." Sui'an only turned to Tianruo, not daring to see the rain falling on his face.

"Princess." Tian Ruo snorted lightly, "From the beginning to the end, you always called me Princess. If you really don't have any affection for me, why don't you resist Yan's blunt advice?"

"The princess is the blood of a dragon and the marrow of a phoenix. I'm a nobleman. I'm just a farmer, so I'm not good enough for a princess. But the princess knows in her heart that Sui'an will have the power of independence."

"That Lei Hanxuan is now more than [-] people, sitting on the four seas, why don't you know how to retreat in spite of difficulties?"

"Hanxuan and I are the same people." Sui'an knew that this remark was extremely hurtful, but still bowed his head and said, "Both of us are like ants and have nothing. People are lucky enough to be rich and rich, and they have great power. When I face him, no matter where I am, I feel empty-handed and lost. You and the late emperor were born in a wealthy family, and you have the responsibility of the emperor. , the responsibility of the family and the country is no better than the two of us, who are born in the world and have nothing to worry about. As everyone knows, when I have a body of duckweed and have nothing to worry about, once I have thoughts in my heart, it will trip people's hearts the most."

Tianruo's face was full of tears, and his heart was extremely painful, so he could only hold back and said: "In your heart, just because I was born into a famous family and occupy a high position, do I have no true feelings?"

"Sui'an dare not. That bowl of hot soup brought warmth in the harsh winter, I think you and I really meant it. It's just that you and I have lived in turbulent waters for a long time, so it's hard not to be disturbed by it, and the taste in it will not be the same as before. I pour my heart out today. As for the lung section and the princess, I am not infatuated with Hanxuan, nor do I have any unreasonable thoughts, but every time I see him, I can recall that when I was dressed in white and straw shoes, my heart was full of clarity."

If Tianruo heard the words, he stopped the rain and tears, just wiped the jade face lightly, and said calmly: "As you said, I have lived in a noble mansion for a long time. I'm used to the wind and waves, and I've been exposed to it, so I don't know what it's like to have a clear mind. But even though I asked you to marry back then, it was to break the situation between the three of you, but I have never been scheming towards you."

At this point in the narration, Tian Ruo was choked with sobs, and suddenly there was a hint of determination: "To prove my innocence, from now on, I will stay far away from the palace and live in Xuanshui, leading the generals who guard the city, keeping the capital safe, and not entering the court again." .”

"Why should the princess suffer herself? Suian is not worth it."

"If one day you can understand my intentions, I also want to meet the reckless man Kai'er, not General Sui'an."

After saying that, Tianruo got on his horse and rode off with a whip.Under the black cloak, there was a crimson scarlet, looming, but not in the forest.

Looking at the trees in the deep forest and hearing the bursting of pines, Suian has mixed feelings.

After standing still for a long time, he finally got on his horse and rode away.

Suian did not come back to Beijing via Hanxuan, but detoured southward from the small road.After traveling in the mountains for half a day, the horse stopped on the high hill.

Overlooking the valley, there is a small village, thatched huts with bamboo fences, and clear streams in Banqiao.There are more than ten families scattered all over the place, falling on the slope.Mulberry trees are planted in front of all the other houses, but only one has a Magnolia magnolia in front of the house, and the other tree is like snow.

At dusk, when the smoke was rising from the kitchen, Suian could only see that under the magnolia tree, there was a frame full of bergamot, a beautiful woman, dressed in beige color clothes, hiding among the vines, sitting on a swing, singing softly, with a pure face.

The gate of the courtyard opened slightly, and a healthy young man stepped in, put the firewood in his back on the edge of the frame, and then sat on the swing.The beautiful lady takes a brocade box, in which are several green balls.

In the twilight, there are a few fireflies, lingering around the side of the frame, accompanied by the two of them shaking gently.

Suian stood on the post, looking at each other silently.Sighing in my heart, among the masters in the game, only the two of them retreated bravely in a hurry to achieve a consummation and live a peaceful life.

Standing still for a long time, waiting for the moon to come out of Dongshan, Suian only got on his horse and went to Yuque.
