Never forget

The author has something to say: the background of this ending is the storyline of the original book, Xiaofeng faintly realized something was wrong, wanted to leave the palace, and finally remembered everything about GG.

The new emperor ascends the throne, and everything is waiting to be done.Putting aside trivial matters for the time being, a few of them are particularly important.

For example, the new government decree changed the policy. From now on, Datang and Xiliang will have diplomatic relations and live in harmony for generations.As a result, the former emperor's external troops also withdrew one by one, leaving only the most elite troops to protect the peace of the border.Xiliang was wild, and suffered another natural disaster.All the ministers in the DPRK and China wanted to persuade Li Chengyin to take advantage of this opportunity and send troops to attack, so that he could regain a large area of ​​territory in one fell swoop.It's just that Li Chengyin insisted on his own opinion, tried his best to overcome all opinions, and preserved the peace of one side.

Some people said that it might be because the emperor missed his old love and still missed the Xiliang princess he married when he was the crown prince.It's just that these words were refuted as soon as they came out. In the impression of more people, the princess was not welcome, and she seemed to be a transparent person in the East Palace.Some insiders said that the Ninth Princess of Xiliang was not very beautiful, she was thin, clumsy and savage, and did not understand etiquette.Her appearance is not comparable to that of Tang Dynasty beauty, and the prince has seen too much beauty and has always been picky, so it is inevitable that he will look down on the nine princesses.

I also heard from the servants in the princess's palace that occasionally they could still see the two arguing.They quarreled all the way from the inner room to the covered bridge. At first the prince could bear his temper, but the princess was so anxious to retort with a series of Xiliang dialects. Looking at the expressions of the two, it was concluded that what the princess said was definitely not a beautiful thing.In the end, the prince threw a cup all over the floor and left angrily.The Crown Princess is really a wonderful person who can annoy the prince who is not showing his emotions in such a way.From this point of view, their relationship is not very good.So after the discussion, everyone could only try to convince themselves that the new emperor must have planned a new plan.

Among the brothers and sisters of the new emperor, only the eighth princess, Luoxi, was conferred the title of Jingguo, ranking first among all the eldest princesses.When the new emperor was still in charge of the East Palace, Luo Xi often took care of him and took care of affairs, so he deserved this honor.

Three years later, the prime minister's daughter was registered as the empress, and she was harmonious and respectful to each other like a guest, which became a good story for a while.

I heard that the emperor originally wanted Princess Yasukuni to be in charge of the wedding, but after the emperor ordered, Yasukuni declined by claiming to be ill for several months.The imperial doctor came several times, but the princess of Pei's mansion didn't seem to be recovering from her illness, so the matter was dropped.

It's just that on the day of the emperor's wedding, someone saw the princess wearing plain clothes, leaving the city early in the morning, and returning in a hurry at dusk. Although she described it as sad, her face was pale, and her complexion was not good, it was definitely not as serious as the rumors said. I'm sorry.

A few days later, Princess Jingguo and General Pei Zhao entered the palace to pay respects.

Princess Jingguo usually wears plain clothes, her temperament is like the orchid in the valley, but after paying homage to the emperor today, she changed her temperament and wore a red short shirt.

Pei Zhao stood aside, with no trace of joy on his face.

Li Chengyin was stunned when he saw it, and the smile froze on his lips for a moment: "Why do you..."

The queen quickly answered: "Princess Jingguo's clothes are very exquisitely crafted. The envoys from Xiliang sent a beautiful dress as a tribute, and I see that it is very similar to yours."

The empress is well educated, gentle and refined, she thinks that Luo Xi's unruly behavior has displeased Li Chengyin, after all, Luo Xi's clothes are not suitable for this trip.

Luo Xi didn't seem to hear it, and didn't answer, but first saluted according to the rules.

Pei Zhao's face was pale, and he followed suit.

The queen smiled and said: "Princess, please get up. I heard that the princess has been ill for several months, but is she recovering now?"

Luo Xi looked as usual, and said with a faint smile: "Thank you, Queen, for remembering me."

The queen's smile faltered.Luo Xi should have called her Queen's Sister-in-Law, but Luo Xi was only willing to call her Queen.Princess Jingguo is Li Chengyin's closest sister, and now the queen also vaguely realizes that Luo Xi doesn't like her.

Luo Xi said quietly: "Brother Huang, it's like three autumns since we don't see each other in a day. Luo Xi has been bored for these days, and I really want to talk to Brother Huang with something out of my heart."

No answer.The queen quickly laughed and said, "Princess Yasukuni, but it's all right..."

"Empress, Luo Xi said that there are some things I want to say to Brother Huang."

The queen glanced feebly at the throne.Li Cheng Yin didn't even blink, and said, "Go."

The last trace of blood on the Queen's face also disappeared.With a sullen face, she picked up her dress and stumbled into the side hall.

After the queen's figure disappeared behind the palace, Li Chengyin said: "After a few days away, I also want to know...the reason why my imperial sister, Princess Jingguo, disobeyed the holy order."

Luo Xi let out a "ho", and smiled coquettishly while propping her cheeks.

"Today Luoxi arranged this body carefully, brother Huang, do you think it looks good?"

Li Chengyin touched his chin, doubts overshadowed gloom in his eyes.

Pei Zhao bowed his head: "Luoxi..."

Luo Xi's eyebrows narrowed, and her voice rose a few degrees in an instant, and she said coldly: "I am talking to my brother, how can I let you, General Jin Wu, talk to me!"

Luo Xi suppressed tears and stared at Pei Zhao bitterly.

A few years ago, Princess Nine injured her head, her temperament changed drastically, and she secretly expressed her desire to escape to Luo Xi.Although Luoxi was astonished, she actually opened up the escape route for the nine princesses.Even though she was reluctant to give up in her heart, Luo Xi also knew that Princess Jiu must return to Xiliang. If she stayed in Datang, she would never get real happiness for the rest of her life.

Although she vaguely felt that the ninth princess liked the fifth brother, and the fifth brother also liked the ninth princess.It's just that something happened between the two of them, and it is absolutely impossible for them to get back together.

It's just that he never thought that the meticulous escape plan would be revealed so quickly.People from Yinye Palace came to report and ordered Jin Wuwei to go out of the palace immediately to chase down the fugitive.Pei Zhao lightly got out of bed, still waking Luo Xi who was in a light sleep.Seeing him getting dressed in a hurry, Luo Xi chased him down with bare feet, and grabbed Pei Zhao's wrist to prevent him from leaving.

"I have never asked you for anything," Luo Xi said, "From the time we met to now, I have never asked you for help. But now, I have one thing to ask the general..."

Although Luo Xi was gentle and peaceful, she had never looked so humble before.

Pei Zhao's brows trembled a few times: "Princess, please tell me."

"Let her go."

Pei Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and patiently comforted Luo Xi: "Who will you let go? I'm going after the fugitive..."

"You don't need to lie to me, you don't need to hide it from me. You and I know in our hearts whether we really captured any fugitives!"

After a while, Pei Zhao said: "Princess Jiu is a princess who came here with her relatives, and her fate has never belonged to her."

Luo Xi said: "General Pei, if you don't let her go, you will definitely regret it."

Pei Zhao paused for a moment before sighing: "If I don't regret it later, it's up to me to say..."

"No," Luo Xi said, "I don't want to reveal some things. It's good for the general to be clear."

……

Reminiscing about the past, Luo Xi felt even more difficult to express.Just have to say something.

"Brother Huang, you once said that there is only one concubine in the East Palace. That's right...it is true. There is only a concubine in the East Palace." Luo Xi paused for a while, and said more sadly: "And there are many beauties in the Imperial Palace! There are too many to count..."

"Now that the book is new, the beauty is by your side, Brother Huang... Are you extremely happy?"

"Brother Huang, are you really so cruel that you completely forgot about Xiaofeng?"

Li Cheng Yin seemed to be in disbelief, he groped and grabbed the curtain. "Pei Zhao!" He panted hard, "Come here! Tell me! Didn't Xiaofeng go back to Xiliang? That day you stood on the city wall with me..."

Standing on the city wall, watching her leave... The angry horse in fresh clothes ran towards her hometown without looking back.Freedom, the freedom she always wanted...

Like a stick in the throat.He wanted to say that, but he couldn't give this firm answer.On the day she left, the sky was full of yellow sand, gradually covering her figure...

Nonsense, Luo Xi must be nonsense.If she hadn't returned to Xiliang, why would he go to such great lengths to give Xiliang such great benefits?Just for her joy!Her people are doing well, she is happy, maybe she won't be angry with him.All in all, he has always thought so these days.What's more, every year he secretly repaired books and sent them to Xiliang behind others' backs, but he never heard back.That's right, Xiaofeng is still angry, there's nothing she can do... just wait, one day she will forgive him...

Every step Pei Zhao took was extremely heavy.Under the aggressive eyes of Luo Xi and Li Cheng Yin, he walked slowly to the center of the hall.

He spoke with great difficulty: "Your Majesty..."

Pei Zhao knew that he could not tell the truth.

On that day, Xiliang sent envoys to welcome back the coffin of the Ninth Princess.The tone of the letter was very firm, and finally wrote:

"Sister She loves her hometown in Xiliang deeply, and it must be her last wish to return to her hometown."

Unruly, so unruly!Li Chengyin was pinching the correspondence documents, his joints turned white.

Only in the end, he gave in.Not knowing what words in the letter made him change his mind, or what he suddenly wanted to see, he secretly sent the nine princesses away.No one in the palace knew about the secret of this matter, so the guard of honor was simple.

From a distance, the most conspicuous thing is the Xiliang flag, fluttering like a cloud.Pei Zhao had only seen the colors on the flag in Xiliang, and only seen people as bright and flamboyant as the Ninth Princess in Xiliang.

The coffin of the Ninth Princess was covered with red gauze, it was Li Chengyin's order.The wind blew by without a trace.

Standing on the tower, Li Chengyin watched coldly as the team of envoys gradually disappeared.

Pei Zhao wanted to say something, but couldn't say it.

Li Chengyin said: "She has returned to Xiliang."

The nine princesses died in a foreign land, and their souls should return to their hometown.Pei Zhao replied, "Yes."

Li Chengyin's every step is precarious.He murmured: "In the past, she always got angry and sulked, and she didn't say it out loud. In fact, I knew in my heart that she was just homesick. It's not easy to come to Datang after traveling thousands of miles. She should be happy now." !" There was a little helplessness and pampering in his tone, "Everything is up to you, and you can't still be angry with me."

On the tower, Pei Zhao didn't understand what Li Chengyin meant.Only later did he realize that Li Chengyin had completely forgotten about the death of Princess Nine.He thought she was still alive and just went back to Xiliang.

Pei Zhao never believed that Wangchuan water could forget feelings.But that night, he quietly dispatched his troops to Xiliang.

Half a month later, the spies reported back.

The spring water shown on the map has been exhausted, only rough gravel and barren weeds remain.

Pei Zhao's heart sank.

Even if he didn't believe it, at this moment he felt a strong sense of disappointment that his hopes had been dashed.Apart from this road, he couldn't think of a better way to make himself feel at ease for a moment.

Today, even this last sliver of hope has vanished.

The water of Wangchuan can forget love, forget love and worry.This legend has been passed down for a hundred years in the vast Xiliang, and finally disappeared with the drying up of the spring water...
