After Balian finished singing a song, the song echoed for a long time. Duanmu Yaxuan frowned, his eyes were vague and empty, but he missed the past or the good times, and lamented the present or the hardships.

But suddenly, Duanmu Yaxuan turned his head and shouted sharply: "Who is it?!"

Balian was stunned for a moment, thinking that the scene from a few years ago was reappearing. Soon, there was a noise behind the woods not far away, as if someone was running away.

"Who?" Balian asked curiously. With Duanmu Yaxuan by her side, she was not afraid of anyone.

Duanmu Yaxuan frowned and said lightly: "It should be a slave."[

"Slave?!" Balian became nervous now. Who sent him? To spy on Duanmu Yaxuan or to spy on her? Was it sent by Duanmu Canglan, or by some woman in the harem?

"Who could it be?"

Duanmu Yaxuan shook his head, then looked at Bailian, with a bitter smile: "It seems that we are both precarious people, and if we are together, we will not be able to guarantee our future or our future."

After Balian heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Yes."

"Go back. After a long time, even if no one is watching, someone will notice us."

"Well, Your Majesty, I'll go back first. I'll go back after a quiet moment."

Duanmu Yaxuan nodded. Under the moonlight, his beautiful eyes were fixed on Bailian, as if he had something to say, but before Bailian could ask him, he turned and left.

Bailian leaned on the bridge railing and watched Duanmu Yaxuan's figure disappear. Then she turned around with a sigh and looked at the scenery in front of her.

She didn't want to go back, didn't want to see the love between the two people, and didn't want to hear the congratulations from the officials.

Balian held the bridge railing with his little hands and walked gently along the small bridge. He walked across the small bridge and walked on the stone pavement. There were trees and flowers on both sides. After walking for a while, there were steps on the left hand side.

Down below are the rockeries.

Balian stood on the steps and looked at the rockeries underground. During that attack, she rolled down from here and hit the rockery facing the steps. It was there that she found the sheepskin map.

If there had not been an attack, if the map had not been discovered, she and Qiu Xuan would not have gone treasure hunting, nor would they have discovered the shocking secret of the royal family. Duanmu Ruoze would not have succeeded in his rebellion. Qiu Xuan would not have died, and she would not have died.

No need to be stained for life.

If, there was no if. If her life could be repeated, she would rather never touch archaeology than travel here and encounter waves of thrills.

Balian walked down the steps, and halfway there, she sat down, hugging her knees with her little hands, and quietly looked at the rockery under the moonlight.

I don’t know how much time passed, but her forehead rested on her knees, as if it had become the scene here.

There was someone beside her, but Balian still had her knees pressed up, but turned slightly. It turned out that Da Zhong was sitting next to her.

Since the incident in Youmengting came to an end, Duozhong has not appeared again. I accidentally learned something about him from Qiu Mu, but I only mentioned it.

"Why are the various generals here?"

Duozhong has a very indifferent expression. He always looks like this at any time: "Ms. An has been away from the banquet for too long. As the commander-in-chief of the bodyguard army, the general must always be concerned about the safety of the masters, so I came here to take a look.

"[

"Are Lieutenant General Duo worried about me?"

"It's just my duty."

Balian laughed, she straightened up and looked at the general who was still looking forward, neither humble nor arrogant: "Talking hard."

They are already friends, right? They should be friends.

"Your Majesty, it's better to return to the banquet as soon as possible. You will be discovered after a long time."

Balian smiled bitterly and tugged on the skirt on her knees: "No one will notice me. Today's focus is on the queen and princess. Then will anyone pay attention to me, an inconspicuous concubine?"

"The general noticed it."

There was no change in the expression on his face even though he said this indifferent sentence. Balian turned his head and looked at Da Zhong's side face, and a gentle smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.

General Duo, we are already friends.

Duozhong stood up, but still didn't look at Balian, and just said calmly: "It's time for you to leave, and your Majesty should go back quickly. If your Majesty still wants to take a walk or sit down, I've left some guards nearby."

, they will be responsible for the safety of the empress."

After Duozhong finished speaking, he cupped his fists and saluted. I don't know who the salute was for, maybe it was the rockery in front of them. Then Duozhong left.

Balian turned around and looked at him, smiling all the time. But gradually, the smile faded.

She turned back, hugged her knees again, pillowed them on her knees, and closed her big black eyes.

I don’t want to go back, I really don’t want to go back.

Although she is not the focus of the banquet, she has been away from the banquet for so long, and someone will indeed notice her. Didn't Da Zhong come to look for her?

Did Duanmu Canglan notice? Will he be anxious if he finds out? Will he be jealous because he wonders if she is having a tryst with a man?

Balian finally understood why she didn't want to go back. It turned out that she wanted to attract Duanmu Canglan's attention.

Will he notice her? Will he be jealous and look for her? Will he hug her and prevent her from taking another step away from him?

Just when Balian was thinking wildly, there were really footsteps behind her. Although she heard it, she stiffened and pretended not to know.

She wanted him to be anxious and hold her.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Bai Lian suddenly raised her head and saw Qing Yu looking at her with worry.[

It's Qing Yu. Bai Lian subconsciously looked behind Qing Yu, but couldn't see anything, only the flowers, plants and trees inhabiting the night sky.

Balian turned around and lowered his fan-like eyelashes: "Your Majesty, he...is he still happy?"

"Yes, always smiling..." Qing Yu hesitated, but she didn't want to lie. It would be better for the master to know many things: "Talk to the queen, chat with the ministers, and look very interested."

Balian really wanted to cry. She had accumulated sadness and depression for many days, which made her want to find a hug and have a good cry.

But her eyes were red, but she didn't shed tears in the end.

"Qingyu, I don't want to go back to the banquet. Let's go back."

"Okay, let's go back."

Qingyu helped Baili'an get up and followed his master back to the yard.

Qiu Mu also attended the banquet, and the courtyard seemed very quiet. The master and servant went directly to the bedroom without calling anyone.

Bai Lian sat in front of the bronze mirror and took off the jewelry from her hair. Qing Yu came in with wine and food.

"Your Majesty, you haven't eaten much all night, why don't you have some side dishes and some wine?"

Bailian nodded, Qingyu put the tray on the table and poured a glass of sake.

Balian sniffed it, and then drank it slowly. Qingyu served her some dishes, and Balian drank more frequently, and she drank up all the good sake.

As the wine got stronger, Baili An Yuanbei's snow-white skin turned pink, and her dark eyes were covered with mist.

"It seems that I drank too much and my whole body is very hot."

"My slave, please prepare bath water for your Majesty. Your Majesty, please take a bath and then go to bed."
