Caiwei next to her also frowned, subconsciously stepped forward and grabbed my arm, whispered: "Madam..."

I turned to look at the eunuch below the steps. He looked at me with a smile, as if what he was talking about was just a very ordinary thing. At this time, even I laughed and looked at him meaningfully.

"So my father-in-law is here to pick me up into the palace?"

“That’s right.”

"That father-in-law has done a lot of hard work."

"I dare not speak of my hardship."

I smiled and said, "What I said is, thank you for your hard work."

“…”

The eunuch was also a smart person. He understood what it meant when he heard this. But he was not anxious or impatient, and still smiled, as if the smile was engraved on his face. He stepped forward and said softly, "Don't Madam plan to go?"

I smiled and said, "I'm afraid I will go but never return."

The eunuch was not angry, but still smiled and took another step forward, walked up the steps, walked to me, he looked around, and confirmed that there was no one around, and looked at Caiwei again. Caiwei was not ignorant of her eyes, but at this time, in order to protect me, she refused to leave. I thought about it, and gently plucked her arm. She immediately understood and took two steps back.

Seeing that we were like this, the eunuch felt relieved and said with a smile: "Madam, don't misunderstand. I will talk more today. If the flags are waving and the large group of people come to greet us, I am afraid that there will be no return, and I will not be able to say no. But today, only I will come here, so there will be no return. I hope that the lady will not hesitate and not let down the little master's wishes."

“…!”

When I heard his last few words, my heart suddenly beat and looked down at him: "You mean-"

The eunuch took two steps back and stood at the steps in a manner: "Please get in the car."

“…”

I stood on the steps without moving. Caiwei felt something and walked over: "Madam, what's wrong?"

I thought about it and turned around and told her: "Let Du Yan come over and we will enter the palace."

Caiwei was shocked and looked at me incredibly, but seeing that I was awake and didn't look like I was joking, she paused for a moment, turned around and ran in. After a while, Du Yan followed him out. I glanced at him, and without saying anything, she raised her foot and walked down.

Although it was a carriage from the palace, it seemed that it had been specially arranged to pick me up. The carriage was not chosen as luxurious, but spacious and comfortable, so no one paid attention to it along the way. I sat in the carriage and looked at Caiwei's face on the opposite side because of nervousness. She pinched the corner of her skirt with both hands, and pulled it unconsciously, and it was almost torn.

I asked, "Are you nervous?"

She glanced at me and shook her head quickly.

But the fine and dense beads of sweat on her forehead had already betrayed her.

I smiled faintly: "Don't be afraid, this palace is not a dragon's nest..." There are even many people who dream of wealth.

But I paid too much money to leave here.

Caiwei looked at my slightly lowered eyelashes and just wanted to say something when the carriage stopped.

There was a vague person talking in front, as if checking, but the father-in-law who followed us immediately went forward, and within a while, the carriage continued to drive forward.

And I heard the sound of the door closing behind us from afar.

At this moment, even though I was prepared, I still couldn't help but frowned.

The carriage drove for a while, turning left, right, and the long road, and I vaguely outlined some pictures that had been engraved into the depths of my memory. After the carriage drove smoothly for a while, I sighed in my heart.

The carriage stopped.

The car body shook for a moment, and Caiwei immediately looked at me nervously: "Madam!"

I paused for a while and said calmly: "It's here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain of the carriage was pulled up. The eunuch stood below and said with a smile: "Madam, please get out of the car."

Caiwei jumped down first, then turned around and helped me get off the carriage. As soon as I stood still, I raised my head and looked at the long steps in front of me, which felt like I was about to reach the sky; at the end of the high steps was a palace.

But at this moment, my vision suddenly became a little blurred.

The snow in the sky suddenly turned into thousands of fire lights at this moment. The falling snow spread around became the rampant and rage of Zhu Rongshen in the world. That night, everything here was entrenched by ten thousand flames of Tengshou snakes, burned down and became ashes. Although I didn't watch it, I saw that person countless times when I saw him in my dreams, this scene would still appear in the dream.

But now, this palace, which is exactly the same as in memory, appears before you again.

Is it me in a dream?

Or is everything in the past a dream?

I stood beneath the steps, looking at the quiet and elegant palace in front of me, and didn't move. The eunuch came over and said in a low voice: "Madam, go up quickly. There are so many people here, so it's not good to see."

I turned to look at him.

He said again: "The little master has been here and has been waiting for a long time."

“…”

I blinked, and said nothing, and turned to walk upwards.

|

Like that night, heavy snow was piled up on the steps, and every step down would make a creaking sound.

The man took me and fled all the way here.

I could see the snow falling on his shoulders, slowly accumulating, and I could also hear his heavy and depressed breathing, and I could even feel the temperature in his palms and the strangely cold sweat.

At that time, there were pursuers behind him and there was no way out. It seemed that he had reached a desperate situation, but when I thought about it carefully, there was actually a trace of happiness in my heart.

I thought that he would not look back after walking on that road.

As long as possible, we can leave the palace together, leave the imperial city, and then die in the end.

But at least, it was two people together.

I smiled.

Caiwei kept holding me and walked forward carefully. At this time, she heard my secret laughter and opened her eyes wide in shock: "Madam, what did you laugh?"

My smile slowly retracted again.

Everything was just my imagination and my luxury at that time.

I didn't say anything, but just continued to walk upwards and finally walked to the entrance of the hall. Everything here was almost the same as before. If it weren't for the real knowledge that I was not in a dream, if Caiwei hadn't been following me and holding my arm with her trembling hands, I would have thought that nothing had changed at this moment.

Nothing happened.

I am still in this palace, maybe the palace maid or Jixian Zheng, but this palace has not experienced that catastrophe. It is more likely that when I walk into the gate, I will hear the sound of books inside. With those sounds, I will see a serious young man leading the royal family and the children of the government to recite the doctrine of the mean of the university.

I walked over slowly.

Just as we walked up to a long corridor, when we looked up, we saw a thin figure standing at the end of the corridor, where the back hall led to the back hall.

My steps stagnated for a while.

But, instead of stopping, he continued to walk forward.

Slowly, the figure became clear in my sight.

He was a young man, about teenage years old, with a thin and narrow face, a little pointed chin, and his eyes were black and white, as clear and bright as a clear spring, but the corners of his eyes were slightly drooping, but he looked gentle and kind-hearted; his lips were very thin, very similar to his father. When he pursed, there was a small bulb-like bulb in the center of his upper lip, and when he didn't smile, he felt a little aggrieved inside.

At this moment, the look he looked at me seemed to feel wronged.

My steps kept walking in front of him. Although Caiwei didn't understand the interests of the palace, she felt a difference when she saw the young man wearing a gorgeous brocade robe and noble temperament. She looked at me nervously and looked at him again.

When I walked to him, I finally stopped.

The clear water in his eyes seemed to be flowing out.

After looking at him for a while, I felt a little uncontrollable and about to cry, but I could only hold it back by myself, slowly lowered my head, and bowed down: "The civilian woman pays homage to His Highness the Prince."

“…”

"Prince?!"

Cai Wei next to her was completely shocked this time. She turned to look at the young man who had been silent. Her legs were weak and she knelt down in front of him with a plop: "Minister girl, folk girl pays homage to the prince, Your Highness!"

She shivered, and she knelt on the ground and almost fell to the point of falling, but the young man standing in front of us was motionless, like an ice sculpture in the snow.

Maybe he grew up in such an environment.

Looking at us kneeling at his feet, I don’t know how long it took to be silent, but I heard a low, trembling voice coming from above my head: “Do you know your guilt?”

His voice was still familiar, but at this moment, it sounded very strange.

The childishness that belonged to the child had completely disappeared from his voice. Even if I could feel the throbbing and the surging emotions in his heart at this moment, when he spoke, he tried his best to suppress himself. At the end of the day, I could even hear his voice breaking.

Perhaps, over the years, he has suppressed himself and forced himself.

I knocked my head on the back of both hands: "The civilian woman knows her guilt."

"Do you really know the guilt?"

His voice trembled even harder-

"What is the crime of not having any news over the years?"

“…”

"What is the crime of making the mother sad and losing Lin's son?"

“…”

"What is the crime of letting the crown prince of the country think about it day and night, and unable to sleep or eat?"

Hearing his guilty calls, tears almost burst out from my eyes, and I raised my head to look at him: "Your Highness the Prince..."

The boy who had been stalemate and did not move looked down at me. Tears in his eyes suddenly poured down and fell on my face. He knelt in front of me all at once, and his wide sleeves gathered on me as he reached out to hug me with his hands.
