Twilight collected

Since Sui'an returned to Beijing to resume her post, and the princess left the palace to garrison the land, the misfortune of Nahongshu has passed away.Seeing that Sui'an was leading the army as before, he also read Sicheng's words to return the matter to the court. Hanxuan deliberately let the two meet in the way, so he temporarily detained Wei Rang for half a month before letting him go west. Even Ji Lihongshu also Pardoned colleagues.

Therefore, the two finally met on the road to Shu.

It is steep and majestic, and the green mountains are naturally dangerous.On the official road, there is a cart coming.

The full diameter is full of hibiscus, and Fang Fang is in front of the car.Bing Mingyu embellishes the natural color, like a guest returning from the east.

Over there, the heroic general, with sad eyes, came stepping forward, followed by a few small cars, which contained Jiaochun willows.

Seeing the carriage approaching here, he reined in lightly to the side of the road, but he didn't say a word, and the followers behind him all retreated one after another.

"The sky in the southwest is high and dangerous, the roads are narrow and the roads are thin, the empress will go first." Seeing that the frame of the carriage here was not moving, Zhu Qing spoke first.

Here the bead curtain is lifted lightly, Si Chengyan's brows are light, and he can't bear to see the dust on his face.His eyes moved slightly, and Si Cheng said that he glanced lightly at Fen Dai behind him, with mixed feelings: "The general has been famous for a long time, and now he has retired after completing his career. From now on, he can take care of himself well, and he can live a happy life."

"I was able to get out of the whole body when I was weak, thanks to the many times of crisis, the empress took pains to deal with it." Zhu Qing stood on the side of the road, and the hibiscus trees beside her fell down one after another.

"It's not difficult to sink into the jade palace, and it's not difficult. You and I know in our hearts that the most difficult thing is to live for ourselves. Since you and I were born to serve jade food, we will naturally hate the country and family all our lives."

"It's exactly this way. You and I traveled together in Jindu nine years ago, but now you don't think it's the way for me to be demoted to the southwest, and it's also the way for you to leave home and return to the palace after attending the funeral."

Si Chengyan forced himself to smile and said, "Jindu is still magnificent and beautiful."

Zhuqing's throat was astringent, he pondered for a long time, and still spit out a sentence: "I have thought about it, when I meet in such a way, I always thought that I would draw my sword and take you far away. It's just your wealth and life, family □□er, Qiansi Before Ten Thousand Wisps, the word love seemed too flimsy."

"The general shouldn't have said that." Si Cheng said that he didn't want to look at him, because his eyes were full of joy.

"If you don't talk about it, is there still time to talk together in this life? I'll put the crown down and wear it, and you are lonely in the deep palace. It's no different from death."

"Before today, in my heart, the general was just a heroic general who was not worthy of a million husbands, and he was also a lucky and romantic husband. Now I finally understand what kind of person the general is."

"Then you and I will have no regrets."

Si Chengyan smiled slightly, and only looked at Luoying, just like in Shuyu Pavilion that day, he couldn't bear to look at her.

"To protect you that day, I promised Mrs. Lei that she would never marry outsiders again. From then on, the house will be locked up, and spring and autumn will come, and there will be no other people in my heart. You only think that I married you."

Tears finally flowed down my eyes.

"I made a slip of the tongue. The time to return to the palace is tight. I have taken a step ahead. The general cherishes it."

The frame went back, and there was a lot of hibiscus on the side of the road, it seemed that the hatred was hard to end.

As night fell, Zhi Yu thought about the coolness of the night in the mountains, so she put a big cloak around Si Chengyan.Si Chengyan just bowed his head and said nothing, and suddenly read a little poem he learned when he was young, but it only aroused hatred: the emerald green quilt is cold, and the frost has been thick for several nights.However, in this life, there will be no more silly dreams, and he can go back to his hometown in the southwest with night magpies, and go around the courtyard to thin out the trees.

Zhuqing had never seen it before, Si Chengyan only tightly held the jade pen and a few red beans in his hands.

Si Cheng said that he understood that even if he had a caring heart, he would eventually have to return to the palace.And Zhuqing is just a relegated person on the road of Shu.

After driving for half a month, Si Cheng said that he will finally arrive in Beijing.

At dusk that day, the carriage entered the Qionghan Gate.Si Chengyan hadn't had time to freshen up yet, he was travel-stained, dressed in light clothes, and was about to enter the Yihan Palace to face the saint.

It was July, and the candle flames in the Hanxuan Dao were burning people, and the candles in the Yihan Palace were very sparse, and the palace that only illuminated it became more and more desolate.

Si Cheng said through the curtain, entered the back hall, saw Han Xuan sitting in the right seat from a distance, and bowed down according to the ceremony: "My concubine, Si Cheng, the funeral is over, and I have returned to the palace as scheduled, and I am here to report to Your Majesty. "

But there was only one sentence on the seat: "Has anyone seen it?"

Si Chengyan was startled when he heard the words, but within a few months, Han Xuan's words were extremely tired, and he was no longer in high spirits like that day.Si Chengyan raised his head timidly, only looking at the faint candlelight, Han Xuan propped his forehead and closed his eyes, sitting on the hall, haggard and hard to hide.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for fulfilling the task." Si Chengyan replied alertly, then bowed his head and knelt down under the seat.

"You have always been the most savvy in ear reports. The princess invites you to sit in the swirling water and use your merits to overcome it. Do you know?"

"The concubine has heard about it." Si Cheng said that he knew what Han Xuan was saying.

"The courtiers are making noise. The chief minister, even the princess, is in the right line of the royal family, and she has been exiled for her crimes. You must not lightly indulge your Sicheng family. I use your funeral as an excuse to discuss it later. Now that you have returned from business, I have nothing to do with you." Thank you."

Si Chengyan looked as usual and said: "Your Majesty has worked so hard, and my concubine is grateful. Over the past few years, there have been many turbulent situations, and nothing can be seen. Today, the old man is withered. With the strength of my concubine alone, it may be difficult to prove my father's innocence and sincerity. It is also difficult to balance the balance of things in the court. The ministers and concubines dare not ask for light forgiveness, but only hope that Your Majesty will leave the whole family a way out."

Seeing that Si Chengyan had already made plans, Hanxuan saved a lot of entanglement, so he said bluntly: "Even though your father had selfish intentions back then, it was worthless for his contribution to the community. You also saved Concubine Jing from the sea of ​​fire, and I will repay you for your kindness. "

The hall was extremely quiet, and Han Xuan's whispered words could still be heard echoing, which shocked people's hearts.

"Everyone in your family will be relegated to common people and exiled in Jiangzhou. You don't need to serve as slaves. You have lived in the house for a long time, and you are diligent and dedicated. You are only reduced to concubine, and the courtesy will be reduced. If you think about it like this, you can stop Youyou's mouth."

Si Cheng said that there was no further struggle, he just bowed his head and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

After saying that, some palace servants helped Si Chengyan and staggered away.

I don't want to hear Han Xuan's words: "You are more miserable than me."

Si Chengyan turned around, smiled wryly, shook his head slightly, and went back without saying a word.

Seeing the decline of his back, Han Xuan was also sad.At this time, Zhi Yu finished washing and grooming, entered the hall from the ear room, and served a bowl of hot tea in front of Han Xuan.Han Xuan took the teacup without looking up: "You have worked hard all the way."

Zhi Yu said humbly, "I dare not."

"Where is Huaiqing next to him? Why doesn't he come back?" Han Xuan took a sip of tea, put it on the side of the seat, and just closed his eyes to rest.

"Miss Xuan concubine thinks she's taking care of what's next, so she can't bear her suffering, so she lets her go." Zhi Yu tried her best to be calm, but her brows and eyes showed a hint of panic.

Hanxuan's face is calm, and watching it makes people feel uneasy: "Zhi Yu, since I entered the palace, you have served my left and right sides, and I have the utmost trust in you in the face of wind and rain."

"Yes..." Zhi Yu said calmly, "I have been taught by His Majesty's precepts and deeds since I was a child, and I will definitely be of one heart and one mind with Your Majesty."

Han Xuan smiled slightly: "I understand. You and I are similar in nature, and we are always soft-hearted."

Zhi Yu didn't expect Han Xuan's words, and hurriedly knelt down in front of him.I don't want to exchange for Hanxuan's understatement: "Forget it, you don't have to think too much, you've been working hard for days, just let yourself go."

Seeing Han Xuan like this, Zhi Yu sweated slightly and left the hall quietly.

Xi Jianfang turned from the screen and stood beside Hanxuan: "Your Majesty is not afraid of being soft-hearted for a while, and will come back from the ashes in the future?"

"If a person intends to cause disaster, he must guard against it. Only if he is sincere and accepting, is he safe. Those in power should attack their hearts first."

Han Xuan's words were profound, Xi Jian had no choice but to say yes, and dared not say any more.

"How is Concubine Zhao?"

"The empress doesn't think about food and drink, she wears plain clothes for mourning, everything is as usual."

"Just keep an eye on Gu Yuangong." Han Xuan got up slowly, walked towards the inner hall, and left a sentence: "I'm afraid he will do something stupid."

Since Danye left, Liang Xun has indeed suffered in mourning.And when the phenology is not normal, he will linger on the sick bed and cannot get out of bed for many days.It was midsummer, and Hanxuan had to visit Gu Yuangong almost every day, so the imperial doctor dared not to serve him wholeheartedly.After more than a month of recuperation, Liang Xun finally found that his condition has eased.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xuan returned to the palace today, and His Majesty called her into the Yihan Palace. It seems that there is something important to discuss. I think I have no time to come to Guyuan Palace."

Liang Xunben was half asleep and half awake, only to hear Yuezhi whispered, and he was already awake, struggling to get up: "Quickly wash up for me, let's go to the Yujin Pavilion."

"The empress's body is important, I'm not in a hurry." Yue Zhi said with distress when she saw Liang Xun's complexion was still wan and he was too thin.

"It doesn't matter to me. If His Majesty knows about it, I'm afraid I won't be able to go. Why do you think His Majesty is in Gu Yuan Palace every day? Is it because I am afraid that I will find out by myself. There are always illusions in the palace. Gong must kill him by surprise to find out some truths. At this time, the attendants are handing over, the Yujin Pavilion is in chaos, and His Majesty is entangled by something, so this opportunity must not be missed."

Yuezhi could not dissuade him, so he carefully helped Liang Xun up, and after a little grooming, the two of them went from the corner gate to Yujin Pavilion.

Not long after Liang Xun lost his husband, he was dressed in plain clothes with loose blue hair, no jewels and emeralds, only two silver hairpins.Its face is clear and shallow, and without makeup, it is more like a lotus shower gel.

After neglecting the matter for a long time, when Liang Xun arrived at the Yujin Pavilion, all the palace people were shocked, and they knelt down on the ground.

Liang Xun couldn't help but said, "I call you to be in charge."

Seeing that the palace servants were going to pass it on, Liang Xun went straight into the inner treasury of the Yujin Pavilion and rummaged through the mountains of volumes.Because it is daytime, the lights are bright, and the records in the palace are lighter than Danye's night.

In a short time, Qing Rui hurried over, bowed and stood in front of Liang Xun: "I don't know what your mother wants?"

Liang Xun didn't answer for a long time, he only concentrated on reading the scroll in his hand carefully, and asked after a long time: "On the day your Majesty entered the palace, you were also with those who greeted you from the Qionghan Gate?"

"Yes." Qing Rui didn't know why, but replied respectfully.

"Your Majesty mentioned that one person was taken away, do you remember?"

"That's true."

"With your majesty's heart, you won't just sit idly by. You must have said something to stop me, right?" Liang Xun turned around and stared into Qing Rui's eyes, only to stare coldly at his back, "I think you know, then Where do the thieves come from?"

Qing Rui's forehead was full of sweat, he hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't bear Liang Xun's glaring eyes, and said in a low voice: "On the way to pick up His Majesty from the Qionghan Gate with the palace secretary, I saw that the group of palace people came out of the Maoyuan Palace. At that time, Concubine Yan Gui was in full bloom, and His Majesty had just entered the inner court, so the ministers had to be afraid."

"Sure enough." Liang Xun sneered, and threw the case in his hand in front of Qing Rui, "Go ahead and find all the people in the Maoyuan Palace that day. I have something to ask."

Liang Xun didn't expect that Qingrui didn't move for a long time, and a wave of anger went straight to his heart.However, Liang Xun has a gentle heart, even if he is angry, he just said angrily: "Why is your body so delicate and expensive that I can't bear to be sent by this palace?"

Qing Rui couldn't bear the words, and knelt down in front of Liang Xun, and said shyly: "Your Majesty, forgive me. In fact, after Mr. Yi came that day, I knew what was going on, so I paid attention to it in private. Either died or sent out of the palace, there is no one in the inner palace except the leader of the palace."

Hearing this, Liang Xun pondered for a moment before Fuyue knew and left the hall.Qing Rui could only hear a sentence from Qiyuan: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, and my palace occasionally visits here, so don't alarm Your Majesty."

Going out of the Forbidden Pavilion, looking back at the Yuan Palace, seeing no one around, Yuezhi asked: "Your Majesty, what should I do now?"

Liang Xun's expression was dull, and he said: "Do you ever remember that when the Maoyuan Palace returned to Lulu disaster, the palace leader said that only the body of the Xi family was seen, but no lady? I remember that on the night of the military disaster, the green Yan clearly entered the palace."

"Then what are your plans?"

"No rush. Don't startle the snake."

The evening breeze came slowly, moving Liang Xun's temples and broken hair, sweeping his fragrant cheeks like snow, that beauty and beauty also gave birth to desolation.

Tongyin is faint, lotus is fragrant, and osmanthus is full of shadows.

The long summer is over, and it is Mid-Autumn Festival.On a good night in the Qing Dynasty, the wind and dew are getting colder, and the auspicious clouds hold the jade to the heart of heaven, but there is no jade person in front of them.

Because of the previous turmoil, Hanxuan no longer wanted to hold a banquet in the palace.Even though it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the inner palace is nothing but cold.At the time of the reunion, all the people were few and far between. There were several couples that day, and none of them survived today.

I don't know but I can't bear to be lonely, Lan Ze only used the name of celebrating the festival, and entered the inner ban at night.

Han Xuan came back from Gu Yuan Palace, saw Lan Ze here, and said, "It's rare for you to enter the palace. Zhi Yu, bring some wine, I will have a few drinks with the concubine."

But Lan Ze smiled, and called Zhi Yuan beside him: "Alcohol can hurt your health, Your Majesty might as well try this year's new peach."

Hanxuan saw a handful of fresh peaches in Zhi Yuan's hands, each shiny and moist, the fragrance was dyed with Danxia, ​​and he was gratified to look at. He just smiled and said: "The ten-acre peach grove of the concubine, I think it is already." '."

"If your majesty is interested, you can take a look. This August [-]th is the time when the fruits are ripe and the garden is full of fragrance."

"August [-]th..." Han Xuan said playfully, but his face was cold for a moment.

Lan Ze didn't understand what it meant, so he just called softly, "Your Majesty."

Hanxuan smiled blushingly: "August [-]th is Zhonggongfang's birthday..."

Lan Ze understood immediately, and said: "Since I am standing in the middle palace, Your Highness has never been out of this jade palace. Why don't you drink tea in the ten-acre peach grove in this palace, and enjoy the joyful feelings in order to celebrate Fangchen."

Han Xuan nodded slightly, and sighed, "I'm afraid he won't."

Although he had doubts in his heart, Han Xuan finally made a decision on An Zhi's birthday.

After the Leng Yuexuan incident, Hanxuan did not dare to take Anzhi lightly. For several months, when he entered Chengcui Palace, he just stood outside the heavy curtains and looked at the lamp like beans, Anzhi's lonely shadow was cold.

After going through life and death several times, An Zhi seems to be more resigned.Hanxuan never discussed this matter with him, so he just ordered a small car to take him from Chengcui Palace to the ten acres of fragrant trees.

The frost forest is silent, and the blue tent stretches to the sky.Linshao Danguo are just like red clouds, hiding among the green leaves.Sometimes when the fruits are ripe and the stalks fall, the sound of autumn can be heard.A clear stream comes out through the forest, and there are occasional floating fruits on the stream, floating with the water.

There is a bamboo pavilion by the stream, and Hanxuan is sitting in the pavilion.Hanxuan wears the Orchid and Friends Bamboo, which is plain in color with occasional blue and blue patterns, which is not like the grandeur of the past.A handful of green silk, emerald green and smooth, is scattered behind the head, and only a sapphire hairpin is held, which complements the cloud dress on her body even more.

An got out of the car, and seeing this scene, he just stood there for a long time, not knowing how to advance or retreat.Seeing Hanxuan sipping tea by himself, he finally let out a long sigh and went to Dexuan.

"I don't want to be able to congratulate you on your birthday one day." Han Xuan's face was full of spring, but the face of the person facing him was as cold as a pool.

An Zhi didn't look at Han Xuan, but only looked at the fruit of the autumn forest outside the Xuan Xuan, and was slightly lost in thought: "Trapped here, it is better to die, and what birthday is there."

Han Xuan saw that An Zhi's words were not kind, so he calmed down and said calmly, "Today is August [-]th, so it's your birthday."

"The two sides are different. How do you know that today is the nineteenth day of August over there?"

"Birthday, it's important that someone remembers it."

"Really?" An Zhi sneered, "You trapped me here, in a prison, with no years to spare, so to me, what's the use of remembering. I hope that you will forget it sooner. It is also liberated."

"You are a person who has nothing to ask for in this life, and you have never been entangled, so how can you be free." Han Xuan didn't dare to look at An Zhi's cold eyebrows, and only smiled slightly, pouring himself a drink.

"Even if I have it, I won't be unrestrained, wanting too much, and ruining other people's lives."

Han Xuan lowered his eyebrows and looked at Qingbi in the lamp: "From the beginning to the end, I knew that I was wrong, and it was useless to defend myself. As I said earlier, this is a big dream for me, and in the dream, I went crazy. "

"Do you know how many innocent people you have harmed because of your dream?"

"They are not because of you or me. Even without me, there are others. This Asura Saber, and the world over there, are the culprits. Everyone is unwilling to live in this place, everyone wants to have a place to escape, They all wanted to start over from the beginning and fulfilled their long-cherished wish, so they fought hard and fought openly and secretly to win this thing. In fact, no matter where a person is, if his mind is not clear, his troubles will not be temporarily dismissed, and it is useless to escape. Since the heart is like this, Here or there, the end is the same."

After all, both of them have nothing to say, only the clear stream is gurgling and the birds are singing softly.

Suddenly, I heard a series of hurried hooves, from far to near, stepping into this cold forest scenery.Hanxuan saw Xijian immediately, his heart skipped a beat, and he strode out of the Xuanxuan.When Xi saw that the horse was reined in and fell under the horse, Han Xuan knew in his heart that it must be a matter of great urgency.

Although Han Xuan didn't know what was going on, he was extremely frightened, which was unusual.So I dare not say a word, just stare at Xijian.

Seeing a few panting pants, Xi reluctantly opened his mouth: "Your Majesty! Something happened to Lady Zhao!"
