Ai Min of Fomalhaut's Self-written Book

? For several days, he never came again. I wish I could never see each other again in this life.Just imagine, there is such a person who has all the painful memories related to you, just think about it, it is impossible, let alone meet.

A lot of meditation incense is burning in the temple all day long, and the white smoke is like mist. I often stare at the wisps of white smoke in a daze, from sunrise to sunset, silent all day long, not knowing what I am thinking.

Zhao Zhen arranged for the maid to serve me to be called Jin Su, but she really mispronounced the quiet name. Jin Su has a happy face and clever hands and feet, probably from a young age. Always with an innocent smile.

Once upon a time, I also lived like her, but it is a pity that the world has changed.

It's been less than half a year since Zhancai's death, I really can't see her so happy, when she was a little better, she let Jinsu go out to play with other court ladies.

Jin Su was happy to play, and when she was out of the palace, she fluttered butterflies and kicked shuttlecocks with other court ladies, and occasionally sat down with me and chatted.

The gossip in the harem is nothing more than which concubine the emperor went to the bedroom yesterday, and which concubine was favored again. There are very few women like Wu Zetian and today's queen mother who don't pay attention to the previous dynasty and never care about national affairs.

Jin Su said that the sleeping hall we are in now is the Chonghui Hall of the current Empress Dowager.

I sighed lightly, and then said: "Since it is the empress dowager's bedroom, why have I never seen her?"

Jinsu said that there are three main halls in Chonghui Hall, the middle hall, the east hall, and the west hall. Each hall has many inner halls. We are in the east hall. The empress dowager lives in the middle hall all the year round and rarely comes here on weekdays .

It turned out to be like this, I thought casually, Zhao Zhen brought me into the palace, maybe she didn't know about it, and she probably didn't want to see me.

Jin Su said, the girl is so lucky that she can live in the East Hall as soon as she enters the palace. You know, this is the only way for the emperor to greet the queen mother every day. The women in the harem can't live here even after struggling. And the girl has just arrived, and she can live in this east hall without a status, those concubines are red-eyed to some extent.

I didn't know what to think in my heart, and I almost sneered: "Zhao, the emperor really has a heart."

Jin Su nodded and sighed sincerely: "The emperor originally had a queen and a concubine, but they didn't like them very much. They stayed in their bedroom all night and rarely set foot in the harem. The family chose a lot to enter the palace, but everyone in the emperor just glanced at it lightly, and they didn't like it very much. But girl, when you first came here, you were in a coma, and the imperial doctor said it was heat stroke, but the emperor kept guarding it non-stop. For one night, it seems that the emperor really likes you."

Jin Su kept talking: "Now the third concubine is missing, and the girl is talented and beautiful, and she will become a concubine one day."

After a long day of idleness, I would fall asleep after listening too much. I just listened casually to Jin Su’s words. Slipping, splashing onto the dirt, a slight sound.

A few banana trees are as tall as a person, and they are luxuriant, covering the sky and the sun, but it is also a good place to enjoy the cool air. My eyes fell on the green bugs wriggling slowly on the green banana leaves. I didn’t look carefully. I really can't tell.

I caught the worm and looked at it carefully for a while under the sunlight. It was a very ordinary worm, and there was nothing to see. The worm probably knew that his death was coming, so his body was tense, and the corner of my mouth Stretch out, I won't eat you, what are you afraid of.

On second thought, you can put it in the soil of red capes to loosen the soil.

After making up his mind to get up, Zhao Zhen came here at some point, leaning against the door, looking at me closely.

Those eyes are similar to Cong Zhan's eyes, but they are not the warm and jade-like eyes that I am familiar with.Those pairs are already gone, why wasn't he the one who died!

I turned around and walked into the inner room with a blank expression, dug a hole in the soil of the red scape, threw the bugs in, and buried the soil well.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Red scape needs fertilizer." I replied coldly.

Turning around to wash his hands in the pool not far outside, he followed unhurriedly, "Have you had breakfast?"

I turned my head, squinted my eyes slightly in the sunlight and looked at him in the long gown, "What does it have to do with you?"

His voice was shrill and piercing, and he went back after saying a word, and he had nothing to say.

Only Bo Fang, who was never far from him, frowned slightly, but he pursed his lips slightly after all, looking calm.

Green lotuses were planted in the pond, the flowering period has passed, and the pond is full of decaying lotus flowers. The incomplete and withered color is not as good-looking as the green lotus cover in the pond. Only the one in the center is blooming gracefully, with full petals Bright, it seems to condense the brightest brilliance of the whole summer.

I looked up at him: "It's the last lotus in the whole summer."

Since Zhan's death, I rarely take the initiative to talk to him like this.

He stared at me for a moment, then nodded.

"Pick him off and give it to me."

He got into the water right away, without even hesitation, passing through the lotus leaves all the way, Bo Fang was still shouting from the shore: "Your Majesty, the dragon robe is about to get wet."

He didn't even look back.

In a daze, it was the days when we laughed and laughed freely. He followed me to the river, and Bo Fang called me that way.

When he handed me the lotus, the corners of his mouth stretched and he smiled at me. I didn't even look at him, I just played with the lotus in my hand carelessly.

I squeezed its stem, and it didn't hurt as I imagined. I squinted under the sun and saw that the thorns on the lotus stem were all rubbed off.

Zhao Zhen really cared about him.Almost sneered again.

Bo Fang said to him from the side: "The emperor went to change clothes."

He just nodded and said to me, "I'll be right back."

After he left, I immediately turned around and dropped the lotus in the corner of the grass, I don't know if he saw it.

There was a big fire in the palace that night, I had already gone to bed at that time, Jin Su was still playing with other maids in other palaces, and did not come back.

It was only when I smelled a strong, pungent smell of smoke that I realized that a fire had broken out. The whole hall was filled with the pungent smell of smoke, and several pillared corridors collapsed.

For such a big thing, my first thought was my red scape, the moonlight was still quiet, through the window, with a little faint light, the red scape quietly stayed in the place where the fire hadn't reached.

He staggered to the window, grabbed the red scape and hugged it tightly to his chest, and when he tried to get out of the hall again, a beam fell down, spreading the flames, immediately blocking the way out.

I can only retreat to the corner and squat there.After Cong Zhan died, I also imagined ten thousand ways to die, but I never thought about burning to death, I am afraid it will be very painful.But then I thought about it, most of the people who died due to the fire were choked out by carbon dioxide in advance, and then died. It shouldn’t be very painful. Thinking about it this way, I put my mind at ease a little, and waited for my fate with peace of mind.

Within a few seconds, I heard a commotion at the door, probably the palace people had also discovered the fire in the hall, and they were probably thinking about how to save it.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty--" I suddenly heard several shouts, and then I saw a man, covered with a quilt, stepping over a burning beam and barging in.

It turned out to be Zhao Zhen, I had never seen him with such an expression, his cheeks were pale and bloodless, and even his body seemed to be shaking. He looked around, obviously saw me, and hurried to my side regardless of the danger.

"Min'er." He stretched out his hand towards me, that hand was also trembling uncontrollably, presumably fearful.

After almost a moment of hesitation, I stretched out my hand, and he immediately covered me with the quilt, pulling me through the burning flames, and through the messy beam corridor that fell to the ground. At that moment, I looked up at him, obviously He looked very scared, why did he come in?The flames reflected on his face, red and yellow, flickering on and off.

Out of the palace, a large group of maids and servants immediately surrounded him layer by layer, he knelt down on the ground, the emperor kept calling him, and he seemed very nervous.His shoulders were scorched by the flames, and it was black, as if no flesh was injured, and his face did not look very stern, his eyes looked at me through the blackness of the maid who was kneeling on his knees, and his eyes seemed to be asking questions Did I get hurt? When he rushed in with the fire just now, I was not unmoved, but I... I couldn't tell, I turned around and didn't respond to his gaze.

The fire destroyed eight palaces. ?
