The second story of the ancient sword II

The gate of the Purple Orchid Hall is close in front of you, and you walk into the courtyard unknowingly. The autumn grass on the ground has not been pulled out, but has been trimmed neatly.Yi Ze remembered that the concubine mother was so kind-hearted that she couldn't bear to remove the weeds at the gate of the palace. She always said that life is a life and should be cherished.So I personally went to trim them shorter.Unexpectedly, the mother and concubine have passed away for so long, and the people in this palace still maintain this habit.

Walking straight into the palace gate, two younger maids are sweeping.There are few men in the palace, and seeing Yi Ze come in, he can't help but stop what he was doing.

"Thank you for keeping this place so tidy." Yi Ze said softly.

"You are..." One of the little maids looked at Yi Ze for a while, and then said timidly, "Could it be... Your Highness?"

Yi nodded slightly.

"Servant, servant...greetings to the third prince, third prince..."

"No need, get up." Yi Ze said lightly.

"No..." The two little maids hesitated for a while before getting up from the ground.It can be seen from the green eyes that no one has been to the Zilan Palace for a long time, and Yi Ze felt a chill in his heart.

"This palace has to be cleaned every day." Another little maid said with her head down, "Yes...it was Lady Zhaoyi who arranged for us to do this..."

"It's her?" Yi Ze recalled the scene of peeping from the top of the temple that night, and had a vague impression in his mind that it was the woman with the morning rooster.

Everything in the Purple Orchid Hall is as good as it used to be. The celadon vase that mother and concubine loves most has been filled with plain white daisies.The crimson silk made beautiful curtains, gently covering the lacquered nanmu carved bed where the mother and concubine slept.Yi leaned down and sat on the edge of the bed, caressing the bedding on the bed, it seemed that the smell of his mother and concubine still remained on it.

It was very late in the evening, and the gray sky finally had some color. The crimson reflected in half of the sky, like the color of lovesickness, slowly faded away.Where should I go?go home?Is a home without Ah Ruan still a home?Yi thought of this, feeling empty in his heart.

It was the qin of the mother and concubine... Yi Ze's eyes fell on the golden strings of the qin in the setting sun.The so-called Yiren is on the side of the water...the song...

Suddenly a sound of music came from a distance, Yi Ze's heart trembled, and he hurriedly followed the sound to find it.The music is intermittent, melodious and sad, piercing through the thick twilight.The hurried footsteps never stopped, staring at the voice, ignoring the salutes and looking around.

The night has replaced the twilight, and the color of the sky is much thicker.After hurriedly walking for a long distance, Yi turned a corner, and a black shadow followed him into the corner.The music stopped abruptly.

He stopped, and realized that he had reached the periphery of the cold palace.Some stone bricks on the dilapidated wall have fallen off, and the withered weeds poking their heads unwillingly in the gaps on the top of the wall.Looking in through a hole in a fallen stone brick, there is a barren yard inside, with a well in the center, and a few dilapidated big houses on the north side.Candles were burning in the big room, and the silhouettes of several court ladies were reflected on the window paper.Suddenly, the door of the room in the middle was opened, and a court lady walked towards the well in the yard. The light in the yard was not very clear, and Zhong Yi only felt that her walking posture was somewhat similar to that of Ah Ruan.So he quietly slipped to the door on one side, and walked in lightly.

The palace lady seemed to sense that there was someone behind her, so she didn't turn her head, didn't lift the water, and ran into the room quickly.Meeting Yi Ze but not being able to see each other made Ah Ruan so sad that he couldn't help himself.With the door half-closed, she stood behind the door and kept looking out, watching his anxious eyes.

Seeing her abnormal behavior, the feeling in Yi Ze's heart became stronger. He took a few steps forward and said in a choked voice, "Ah Ruan, is that you? Come out, no matter what the reason, don't tell me." And don't you?"

There was no reply for a long time, at this time another court lady came out of the room, went straight to the well, and lifted the bucket of water with a little effort.Yi ran over almost in ecstasy, "Ah Ruan, I finally..."

"A... Ruan? We... there is no one named A Ruan here!" The maid raised her head, "Who are you? How can a man walk around in the palace at night?"

"Sorry!" Yi Ze turned around in disappointment. He had just taken two steps, but his intuition made him stop again.But when he turned around, he didn't see anything, "It doesn't look like it's here." He murmured to himself and walked back towards the door again, and the black figure behind him also moved forward a few steps.

Someone follow?Get out quickly, so as not to disturb the people in the yard!Yi Ze was aroused, pinched the curse vigilantly, held the sword in one hand, and held the sword finger in the other hand to his chest, the ice blue formation was about to take shape.

"Be careful—" A voice pierced the night sky, and Yi turned around. A court lady turned her back to him, her outstretched arms were falling weakly... She was hit in the chest.

Yi Ze turned around immediately, his frosty eyes met the black shadow standing on the wall, and when he leaped, the sharp sword moves between them had already met each other, "The ghosts linger!" He recognized that it was Li Kang's subordinates. Mafia.After several sets of moves, the underworld priest had no intention of fighting, and found an opportunity to quickly leap away from the wall.

"How could you leave so easily?" Yi Ze stretched out his arms and wanted to fly away unwillingly. Between his brows, the maid on the ground was half-kneeling, her painful shoulders twitching non-stop, one hand resting on her chest. "Heal the girl first!"

Seeing Yi Ze approaching, the palace maid struggled to get up, staggered and walked straight to the house.

"Gu, girl! How are you?" Yi Ze rushed to support her, and saw that she was wearing a thick veil.Looking at her dodging pupils for a moment, the feeling of deja vu made my heart tremble!And, also, the sweet fragrance of her body passing by the bottom of her nose when she turned around...

"I... I'm fine..." The palace maid lowered her voice, her hands were still covering her chest, she hurriedly broke free from Yi Ze's grasp, and blessed her body clumsily, "Your Highness..."

This breath...is it Ah Ruan? ..., but why is this voice a little strange?I've lost my mind?Or do you feel unfamiliar because you are too familiar?Yi Ze was puzzled, no!

"Your Highness?...How do you know..." Yi Ze questioned, grabbing the woman's shoulders with both hands, "No one else knows, but you do, don't tell me..."

"I...I..." The woman faltered, bowed her body, her brows and eyes were full of painful expressions.

"...May I ask the girl to take off the veil." Yi Ze held her hand so tightly that he couldn't break free.

"It's... I don't want it anymore. I... I'm just an ugly person." The palace lady felt uncomfortable after being hit by a palm, and it was very difficult to speak, but she still tried her best to break free from Yi Ze's shackles.

There was a thin sound in his ears, and Yi realized that the danger was still not far away, and looked around vigilantly.

The palace maid was distracted while taking advantage of the barbarian, gritted her teeth, and turned around forcefully.Unexpectedly, the veil twisted in the bun suddenly fell down!The white veil fell leisurely, and a delicate face was displayed in front of Yi Ze.

"Ah Ruan!" Yi Ze shouted, and at the same time excitedly opened his arms and hugged her tightly, his voice was trembling all the time, "I, am I not dreaming? You have always been here, right? So when someone sneaks up on me You blocked that slap for me. It hurts, doesn't it? Let me..."

"No, don't..." Ah Ruan's tears ran down her cheeks, and she cried and shook her head, "You, let... let me go!" She yelled, struggling to break free from Yi Ze's embrace, and she backed away with so much force several steps.The pain in her chest and the rejection of Yi Ze made it painful for her to breathe.

"Don't make trouble, it's dangerous here, he shouldn't have gone far...Let me protect you." Yi Ze stood where he was and stretched out his hand to her.Ah Ruan ignored it and turned around silently.

"What's the matter?" Yi Ze took a few steps forward and grabbed Ah Ruan's hand, "I'm not leaving."

Ah Ruan looked up into Yi Ze's expectant eyes, and she also felt the danger around her.My melancholy heart also tensed up. "You...you don't have to leave, tomorrow..."

"Really?" Yi Ze walked over quickly, a look of joy dyed the brows.He hugged Ah Ruan from behind, and pressed his chin against the top of her head, "I searched many places, and finally...found you..."

Ah Ruan stopped walking, grabbed Yi Ze's hand that was placed in her belly, tears were still streaming down her head.Yi Ze's kiss lightly brushed the skin around her neck, and his embrace always made her slowly lose her mind, and then fell into a sink... Suddenly she seemed to wake up, and she said coldly, "After tonight, I don't want to..." Will be with you again."

"Huh?" A flash of surprise flashed in Yi Ze's heart, but he still closed his eyes in disbelief, sniffing the fragrance of A Ruan's hair silently.

"I always get hurt following you, so... so... I can't be with you anymore..." Ah Ruan burst into tears, and her small snow-white hand vigorously stroked Yi Ze's big hand.

"I don't believe that you will become like this. As you said, I am no longer used to living alone. Why...why did this happen?!" Yi Ze felt a twinge of pain in his heart, and A Ruan flashed across his mind. In the scene of tenderness, all reason was crushed by her cold words in an instant!He turned around, pulled her shoulders arrogantly, his scorching eyes fixed on her face, and his chest heaved and fell.

"You are like this, I am in pain, do you know? Let go...I, I don't love you anymore...I hate you...Is this reason okay?" A Ruan said with tears, "I don't want to I'll be with you again! OK?"

"Hahaha..." Yi Ze laughed suddenly, feeling very emotional, "Indeed, there will only be endless disasters following me. Well, you don't love me anymore, so why did you block that slap for me? Your tears What is it again? Why does your music sound so sad?"

"I, I... Anyway, if you don't like it, you don't like it, there is no reason!" Ah Ruan wiped the tears from his face.

The heartbroken Yi Ze let go of his hand slowly, and stood there, his figure appeared extremely lonely, and his lost eyes were fixed on Ah Ruan all the time.In the candlelight, Ah Ruan turned around quickly, and walked towards the lonely and deserted door with all her strength, her body and mind ached, almost making her unable to think.

"Ah——" Suddenly a black shadow flashed across Yi Ze's sight, grabbed Ah Ruan's shoulder, jumped up the wall quickly, quickly transformed into a red lotus magic circle, and disappeared into the vast night.

"Ah Ruan—"
