by Shangguan Ziyu.

I hired a carriage at night and escaped from Fengni. When I turned on my phone, I saw a text message from Yiyang. I was pleasantly surprised but also a little worried, because I had to leave Fengni City, which also meant that we had to change places.

A place to meet.

"I have left Fenni City now, so don't go there for the time being. I will contact you when I arrive in a new city, or I can also find you if you arrive in any city." I turned off the phone and left for half a year.

The jolting of the carriage made me quite uncomfortable.

The sky was gradually getting brighter, and I took a nap in a daze. When it got bright, I didn't know which city I would be in.

The car suddenly shook violently, and I fell off the seat, then staggered again. If I hadn't grabbed the car curtain tightly, I would have fallen out of the car.

A sword suddenly stabbed in from the car window. I was startled and rushed out of the car with my bag in my arms. I saw the driver already lying in a pool of blood. Oh my God, what is this situation?

Five masked men in black surrounded me, each with a sharp sword in their hand. The silver light of the sword was particularly dazzling in the morning sun. Mom, I don’t want to die in an alien space without knowing anything.

"You...what do you want to do?" My heart began to beat wildly, and the unprecedented sense of crisis became stronger. I wanted to retreat, but there was no way out.

The five men in black approached me step by step. Just when I was about to shout for help, three men in purple suddenly came out from nowhere and quickly started a struggle with the men in black. What happened?

What? It seems that this world is really at odds with me, so leaving early would be the best thing to do.

Two of the purple-clothed men were highly skilled in martial arts and quickly defeated the two black-clothed men, while the other purple-clothed man just stood behind them, leaning against a tree, watching everything with cold eyes. I didn't care too much, I just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.

They fought and ran away, but they didn't take two steps. A sword

It was blocked directly in front of me one centimeter away from the tip of my nose. The remaining sword energy made me step back. At that moment, a hand grabbed my waist in time, and then a sharp sword quickly pierced the darkness in front of me.

The man's chest, blood dripped down the sword, and I was shocked.

When I came to my senses, the five men in black had fallen to the ground, and my trembling body was still in the arms of the man in purple. His arms were warm, which made me slowly calm down.

I pushed the man in purple away and took a closer look at his face. He looked familiar. At this time, a string of bright black beads on his wrist stung my eyes. A scar on the back of his hand made me think.

Get up, he is the person who always saved me from danger in the past, his name is Xing...what is Xing?

"Thank you... thank you." I gradually calmed down and realized that they were Xia Chengyin's people, and I realized that I shouldn't stay here for a long time.

The moment I turned around to leave, I saw him, the Xia Chengyin I had missed day and night. At this moment, he was wearing ordinary white clothes, but it couldn't stop his natural nobility and domineering. His kingly demeanor was there.

other person

As if it were natural, he is no longer the handsome prince I first met, but the king of a country. His eyes are still as deep as the night, but they seem not as clear as before, although when he sees me, his eyes are still bright

.

He took a step closer to me. The faint fragrance on his body was familiar to me. His hand slowly touched my face. It was warm and a real touch. He smiled slightly, and the golden light of the morning sun enveloped him.

Behind him, there is no doubt that he is charming, but there is a hint of gloominess that makes me feel uneasy.

"You're finally back."

"I..." Was he waiting for me? His eyes, his expression, and everything about him were full of joy.

Then, he gently hugged me into his arms and pressed me against his chest. I could clearly feel his strong heartbeat. Back then, I deceived him, but I didn't expect that he was still waiting for me. Suddenly , I seemed to have come back to my senses and remembered that he was already the king of a country. In five years, he might have already had three thousand beauties, not to mention that he was involved in numerous national affairs, and his waiting was just an accessory. It's just a product, maybe it can't even be called an accessory.

I broke away from his arms.

He looked at me blankly: "I thought you would never come back. I even complained about you, but I never gave up looking for you. But I always believed that you would come back and come back to me." ." He hid his uneasiness with obvious confidence. After so many years, he is still so insecure. Is this the so-called feeling of being in a high place?

At this time, a carriage drove up from the woods and stopped beside us. A familiar head popped out of the car. It was Baoshun. He quickly jumped out of the car and greeted Xia Chengyin and me. He made a bow.

"Why did the emperor jump out of the carriage? He jumped out of the carriage and scared the slave to death." It seems that Baoshun is already Xia Chengyin's personal eunuch.

"I'm just anxious to meet the future queen." Xia Chengyin held my hand, nodded and smiled at me. Looking at that smile, I couldn't tell the truth at all, couldn't tell the fact that I would leave again, let alone , His warm palm made me attached, and my heart was not able to leave so easily. I have always been afraid of seeing him, just because I was afraid that I would not be able to let him go, but now...

"Thank God, Miss Ziyu, you are back safely. You don't know how much the emperor has missed you these years. Our emperor, he..."

"Okay, why are you talking so much all of a sudden? Let's get in the car."

"yes."

Xia Chengyin took me to get into the car, then turned around and said to the three men in purple standing not far away with their heads bowed: "Mu Nan, please take Ming Ye and Yu Zhao back first." Ah, by the way, his name is Xing Mu Nan. I haven’t seen him for a long time, and I have forgotten his name. He is my savior after all. I really shouldn’t. I looked at him apologetically, and saw him saluting Xia Chengyin respectfully, but he was still arrogant. The moment he turned around and walked away, he raised his head. He looked at me and I smiled at him as a token of my gratitude.

"Who were those people just now?" I was very curious. I had only been here not long ago and I didn't provoke anyone. Why did I attract these people of unknown origin?

"I will send someone to check, you don't have to worry." Xia Chengyin gently hugged me and touched my shoulders, trying to comfort me, and my heart slowly calmed down.

The carriage the emperor was riding in was indeed much smoother than ordinary carriages. This is the so-called gap between Alto and Rolls-Royce in modern times. Amidst this slight bump, and in Xia Chengyin's warm arms, I quickly entered the carriage. into dreamland.

When I woke up, the carriage had stopped, I was lying in Xia Chengyin's arms, and there were only two of us left in the carriage.

"Are you awake?" Xia Chengyin's eyes were as gentle as water. I really thought that he would always be this warm, just the original him. The car must have been parked for a long time, and he must have wanted me to sleep a little longer without waking me up.

"Where are you?"

"The villa in Songgu City."

I opened the curtains and saw an imposing but simple and elegant door. Next to the door were two blue stone pillars carved with exquisite patterns. The unique craftsmanship allowed the magnificence to be hidden under the elegance, which made me feel special.

A different kind of attraction.

"I will take you back to Yancheng in two days."

"No." I came here almost without thinking. I came here to take Yi Yang back, not to stay. But looking at Xia Chengyin's sincere eyes, my heart was filled with guilt. How long will this lie continue?

, is this unfair to him?

"Why?"

"Because... I don't want to see those three palaces and six courtyards of yours." This is indeed what I don't want to see. No woman would want to share her man with another woman. At least this sentence is not a lie.

Xia Chengyin suddenly laughed. Although it was faint, I saw some kind of happiness. He grabbed my hand, put it on his chest, and said slowly: "You are always the only one here." Like this.

Actions and words like this would definitely make me feel numb if I were in other places, but at this moment, I feel so happy.

"That doesn't prove that you don't have San Gong and Six Houses."

"I said, I only want you as a woman in my life. My harem is empty. Only you can sit in the queen's position." His eyes told me that he was not lying, but I would rather he was lying, so at least I would

Feeling better. I lowered my eyes silently. How should I say that I can't be his queen because I don't belong to this world and I still have to leave after all?

"Why, don't believe me. The whole world knows that their emperor doesn't even have a wife. You will understand when you come back to the palace with me."

"No, if I go back to the palace with you, I won't be free. I still have a lot of things to do..."

"You haven't finished it in five years?" He interrupted me, a trace of complaint flashed in his eyes.

"And I can't bear to leave my parents. I want to go back to spend time with them..."

"I will send someone to fetch them all. This will be the best home for you." Fetching my parents is fine.

"Don't be ridiculous, my parents are not suitable to live here. Even if they come here, they won't get used to it. They will be very bored here. What should I do if they suffer from depression? I can't be an unfilial daughter, so...

"

I wanted to continue talking nonsense, but Xia Chengyin suddenly pinched my chin and said with a hint of sullenness: "Your mouth..." He slowly approached me, "It's better to shut it up." Just before I had time to do it.

By the time I had any reaction, his lips had already pressed against me in a domineering manner. The entanglement between my lips and teeth made me forget everything in an instant. I just wanted time to stop, and I just wanted to stay at this moment with him forever.

It was Xia Chengyin's kiss that brought back all my love for him. The pain of longing for him was dissipated by the sweetness of the moment. Maybe, I can indulge myself for two days. After all, such a gathering is too rare. If

If I don’t cherish it, I’m afraid I will regret it for the rest of my life. But, it’s only been two days. When my mind is overwhelmed by emotion, at least there is still a small space of reason.

When I woke up the next morning, Xia Chengyin was no longer around. Thinking of the madness last night, my cheeks were still a little hot. There was a set of exquisite clothes stacked beside the bed, with fine white silk on the light purple satin.

The flowers, collar and cuffs are made of white fur, which looks very warm. Xia Chengyin is always more thoughtful than me.

I freshened up and then opened the door and went out, but I saw Baoshun at the door. When he saw me coming out, he immediately saluted me and said, "Miss Ziyu, are you awake? I will tell the kitchen to prepare breakfast."

"Where is the Emperor?"

"Oh, he's working in the study."

"Baoshun, has the emperor really not married in the past five years?" Women are always like this. Even if they are willing to believe it, they will still continue to seek confirmation.

"Of course not. The emperor has always been thinking about Miss Ziyu. Sometimes he would sit in your room for several hours. I see, this emperor is the most infatuated man in the world." Baoshun's expression was exaggerated.

, but because of his words, I unconsciously put a sweet smile on my face.

"I want to see the emperor."

"Yes." Baoshun sent a young eunuch to the kitchen to order my breakfast, and he took me towards Xia Chengyin's study. There were several white plum blossoms blooming on the branches in the yard, which was elegant and simple, and the faint fragrance wafted in, which was quite pleasant.

people.

"The emperor traveled secretly for Miss Ziyu this time, so he didn't make it public. He just found a villa on the outskirts of the city. I wonder if the girl can get used to it?"

"The emperor lives here, how can I not get used to it?" In fact, in this world, everything is the same everywhere. But what I didn't expect was that Xia Chengyin actually traveled in secret.

When I arrived at the door of the study, I was about to open the door and go in. Baoshun suddenly stopped in front of me and said solemnly: "Let me go in first and report. I'm afraid the emperor is busy."

That's right, he is already the emperor, and he is now doing official business for the country. How can I just barge in casually? But isn't it too sad to have to see the person I love and have someone else inform him?

The door opened, and it was Ran Yuan who opened the door. His expression was as indifferent as before. Although the look he looked at me was less unfriendly, it was still indifferent. He nodded slightly to me as a salute.

I returned the gift with a smile, and then walked into Xia Chengyin's study. There were many papers piled on his desk.

Xia Chengyin looked up at me, smiled and said, "Did you sleep well?"

I nodded and moved closer to him curiously. He lowered his head again to review the memorial, wrote quickly, focused seriously, and murmured: "It will be ready soon."

I stood aside and looked at the perfect arc on his side. Five years of time seemed to have carved him more perfectly. He lost his childishness and became more mature and charming. He wrote the last word, then put down the brush in his hand, and suddenly

He pulled me into his arms, and his warm breath blew on my neck, making me itch.

"This dress suits you very well. When you return to the palace, you will look even more beautiful in the red phoenix robe."

"Can I... not go back to the palace for the time being?" This may be the beginning of another lie, but I have no choice.

"Why exactly? You want freedom. I can let you in and out of the palace at any time. Isn't that enough? I just want to see you every day."

I ran away from his eyes. At this moment, I felt like a sinner. In this love, apart from deception, it was escape. But how should I make him understand that I don't belong here and I can't abandon him for him?

Parents, friends, and my love in another world are not so great.

I left his arms, stood up, lowered my head, and said slowly: "Actually, I am looking for Yi Yang. I lost contact with her, and I must get her back."

"Yi Yang? It's her again. Okay, I will send someone to find her. I promise to find her. Okay, you can just follow me back to the palace."

"You don't understand, if I don't look for her, she won't come at all."

"There is nothing in this world that I cannot do." His confidence was like a sharp sword, trying to cut off my thoughts.

"But she hates you because you took away the person she loved most."

"Is this why you didn't come back?" He stood up from his position, and his words were already filled with anger.

"No, but she is my best friend. If she can't forgive you, how can I be with you peacefully? Give me some time and let me get her blessing. Wouldn't that be better?"

"Are other people and things so important to you?"

"Isn't the country equally important to you? Why can't I have people and things that I care about besides you?" It turns out that I am still caring about the past. Since he didn't conquer the world, I have been

I don't mind that he has given far more to the world than me, but now, I still don't seem to let go.

"Do you think I will let you do whatever you want after five years of separation?" He suddenly grabbed one of my hands and gently pressed it, which already hurt me. "I will never let you leave my side again.

Already."

"Do you really think that I will go back with you unwillingly and never be happy?" I looked at him stubbornly. I didn't want to, and couldn't compromise. I was trying to convince him, and even more so myself.

We were in a stalemate for a long time, and he finally let go of my hand, sat back down, picked up his pen, and started reviewing the memorials again.

There was a silence that made the atmosphere between us a little awkward. After a long time, Xia Chengyin finally said slowly: "I will give you another forty days, and I will send someone to protect you. If you can't find Yi Yang by then, I will

I'll ask them to bring you back." He compromised again, should I be happy?

I turned around and left. When I walked to the door, I heard his voice coming from behind: "I will return to the palace tomorrow. I hope you can find Yi Yang as soon as possible. I will wait for you."

He will leave tomorrow, so is this our last reunion? The hand that stretched out to push the door trembled unconsciously at that moment, and my heart was filled with sadness.
