Twilight collected

Shen Xiao Jiang Que, Gui Dian Lan Palace, Yuan Li Fu.

Looking from the bottom of the mountain, the lights are full of lights, and the nine-fold jade tower is always in a peaceful state of Gao Hua.However, the deep palace is secretive, and the gnats are turbulent, and the wind and clouds are surging, and there is never a moment to stop.

Hanxuan went out of the Qionghan Gate in person, picked up Jingyan, and returned to Yihan Palace.In the middle of the moon, there was an accident in the palace road, and it was inconvenient to communicate, so Tianruo and Liang Xun temporarily rested in the palace.Seeing that Xi led the people to serve tea, everyone just drank the tea and seldom spoke.

In early summer, the dew is heavy, the cold palace is tall and wide, and the night is windy, the clothes of the beauties in the palace are moving, the jewels and emeralds collide, and the echo is clear and joyful.

Seeing that Lan Ze was not there, Jing Yan whispered in Han Xuan's ear, "After General Xiao left, I didn't expect it to be this far."

Han Xuan and Jing Yan looked at each other for a moment, and only sighed lightly.

If Tianruo heard this, he didn't feel a little embarrassed, and said: "Sui'an is busy with a lot of things, so it's inevitable that I won't be able to do it."

Jing Yan was also slightly embarrassed, and just smoothed things over: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I know that the Duke of Zhen went in a hurry, and the matter of Nine Cities is a huge burden for my brother. Besides, there was a disturbance in the outer city tonight. , Brother went to the palace to report back, but didn't notice it for a while. Now it seems that the thief is making a fuss."

At this time, Fang sent a message outside the hall, and General Yiguo came to see him.When Hanxuan agreed, he saw that Suian came with the wind.

"Your Majesty, the Zhang Le Ji Li family killed the guards in Beiyuan, robbed the rebels, and wanted to escape, but was captured by the ministers in the road."

"How is Wei Rang Zhuqing in the palace?" Liang Xun asked immediately.

"Sister, don't be offended." Jing Yan propped herself up from her seat, soft and soft, "Tonight, the sinner, Mrs. Wang, was going to be sent back to her home. In the middle of the road. According to my brother's investigation, it seems that Jia Yong in Ji Li's mansion did it. The concubine felt uneasy, and immediately ordered Chonglan to send Wei Rang into the palace one by one, in order to be safe. The concubine encountered a change of title I think that the bandits didn't notice that Chonglan's carriage went first, and they only thought that the concubines and the lord of the palace were carrying the traitor in the carriage."

Hearing Jing Yan's words, Liang Xun lowered his beautiful eyes and stopped asking.On the contrary, Tianruo murmured: "I don't know when my husband entered the palace. If you hadn't entered the forbidden house and were patrolling outside, Concubine Jing's carriage would probably be able to avoid the disaster of defeating the imperial concubine."

Sui'an replied: "An accident happened in the outer city, and I went back to the palace to report it. The concubine Jing said that the thief had moved into the palace, so she asked me to guard it inside to protect the saint. Hit by two arrows, there was no fight, and I felt that the thieves wanted to divert the tiger away from the mountain. Yulin followed His Majesty out of the palace gate, and I just sat in the inner palace to prevent chaos."

After hearing this, Tian Ruo turned his head to Jing Yan and said: "Hearing Your Majesty's words about your unique skills and talents, you are truly worthy of the name."

Han Xuan listened to everyone's words without leaking water, but felt even more panicked: Jing Yan planned a strategy tonight, is she passively defending against the enemy, or has other plans.Han Xuan recalled Jing Yan's explanation in advance, he hesitated again and again, but still according to what he said, he said to everyone: "Jing Yan and elder brother worked hard. It's just that Ji Li and Wei Rang are both big families, so they should not be taken lightly. This matter still needs to find a respectable person. People, deal with it carefully."

"There are so many famous families involved, it is really inappropriate for my Lei family to come forward." Jing Yan coughed a few times and then remained silent.Han Xuan patted his back and nodded slightly.Sui'an stood in the hall without saying a word.

"The concubine has too much time to take care of the trivial matters of the inner palace, how can she get involved in the state affairs." Xun'er's face was calm, but he was also aware of it in his heart. What everyone said was intertwined.

Han Xuan only looked around at the people in the hall, his eyes fell on Tian Ruo, and he said shyly: "I'm afraid I will trouble the princess."

Tianruo's eyebrows moved slightly, but without showing any signs of expression, he said softly: "It's okay."

After everything was at peace, everyone dispersed, and Han Xuan stood at the gate of the palace, watching everyone go back to the palace.Only two couples can be seen, side by side, leaving hand in hand.

In this Yuyu Qionglou, only the clear sky and bright moon are left, and the fragrant clothes are covered with dew, and the cicadas and sparrows are occasionally startled.

Linyou Palace and Gu Yuan Palace were lit up gradually, and the lights were soft and warm.Turning to look at the Chengcui Palace under the window, but the lights are like beans.

Han Xuan sighed softly, turned around and turned inward.Jing Yan stood alone in the hall with a timid look on her face.Han Xuan's bright eyes moved lightly, seeing Xi's alertness, he led the people back, and there were only two people facing each other in the hall.

"Three birds with one stone, strong swords and halberds, no water leaks." Hanxuan's face suddenly turned cold, "Looking quietly all night, let alone others, I also have lingering fears."

Jing Yan looked ashamed, lowered her eyes and said: "Jing Yan dare not."

"Inducing Ji Li's family to set fire to the police, the princess will personally interrogate him, and he can break his covenant and break his quotation. Sui'an's capture of the two thieves is also an act of throwing stones, so plan ahead. You only have to worry deeply, and guard against small things. , this palace understands, and I can rest assured that you will do things." Hanxuan said suddenly, "But what does it have to do with Na Sicheng?"

"Ji Li is suspicious and old, if it wasn't for Si Cheng's business and troubles, how would he have dared to think about it? Let alone use force internally to save Wei Rang from the light." Jing Yan's words were soft and soft, but still sonorous, " Even if Mrs. Sicheng didn't burn my frame, I would let him rescue Zhuzi. It's just that he was so cruel. I only see him as abandoned and helpless, but I don't want an abandoned child to still be lucky. We know that what you and I have seen is just the tip of the iceberg. The tree has big roots and deep roots, so we must plan ahead.”

Han Xuan didn't say a word, just looked at the shining palace lanterns, which made Jing's complexion slightly pale, but still beautiful.

The beauty in the palace, the Hanxuan is cold and resolute, Liang Xun is clear and plain, the sky is high, Si Chengyan is charming, and the scenery, although it has nothing to do with strong, is always as bright as spring.While staring, I felt that under the faint clarity in the brows was the unexpected turbulence.

"If the two princesses find out that you and I have plotted so far in the future, there will be a grudge. Aren't you and I trapped in a cocoon?"

"Your Majesty is worrying too much. All the tricks I made today are all done by Jing Yan alone. If there are rumors of going away in the future, it has nothing to do with my Majesty."

Han Xuan looked straight into those bright eyes, but felt lost.

"I know you have worked hard, but for you, I would have been powerless and in deep shackles." Han Xuan raised his voice, "Chong Lan, send Concubine Jing back to the palace to rest."

Chonglan helped Jingyan over, Jingyan saw Hanxuan's gloomy face, and seemed to have something to say, but it was inconvenient to say more, so she walked away timidly.

Standing in the hall, Hanxuan was dressed in gold and jade, which added a bit of dejection.

Seeing Hanxuan's face full of concern, Xi saw that there was nothing wrong with Concubine Jing's move. Concubine Xuan is so unfathomable and unfathomable, she is really not a kind person.

Han Xuan remained silent, looked up and saw that Chengcui Palace was just under the west window, a little dark and cool.

"Go and see the palace."

The night is cool and the wind is clear, groaning and stepping on the moon, and the sound of gnats keeps coming.

The cold building is surrounded by the moon, and the shadows of candles in the hall, through the layers of window screens, are only faint.Not as bright as the fluorescent lights, and the shadows of the trees are separated.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, looking at the Chengcui Palace, although it is carved with Luanqi festivals and beaded windows and nets, it feels sad.

Hanxuan retreated from the crowd and entered alone.The gate of Chengcui Palace is deserted, there are no night guards in the palace, only a few slanted candles are lit outside, and the inside is dark.Behind the curtain, An Zhi could be seen faintly asleep, but not quite at ease.

Behind him, Xi Jian quietly closed the door, and the door hinge made a long knock.An Zhi seemed to be slightly disturbed, but he didn't get up, he just rolled over and fell asleep.

The night palace guard outside was startled by the sound of the door opening and closing, ran over in a panic, and knelt under Han Xuan.

"In the palace of the middle palace, are you the only one going to the night?" Han Xuan asked lightly, his gaze only fixed on the thin lonely figure behind the heavy veil.

"Your Highness doesn't like crowds, and all the servants in the palace are dismissed. Your servants are in charge of the palace, and you must not leave your post without authorization." As if knowing that the furnishings in the palace were too inappropriate, he added a sentence, "Your Highness has been tossing and turning for days. The layout is all the meaning of His Highness."

When Han Xuan heard this, he lowered his eyebrows to look at this person, seeing his clear eyebrows, his face like a bright moon, he felt a sense of déjà vu.

"The people in charge of the palace are mostly old people in the mansion, but they have never seen you before."

"This subject entered the palace early. It was originally from Concubine Yuan's palace during the reign of Emperor Qi. The imperial concubine Zhao saw that this subject is old and has a leisurely job in Chengcui Palace, so she pointed her here. Most of the rest of the people are like this."

Han Xuan felt a little at ease when he saw that he was mature and prudent, and looked straight at him.Thinking about Liang Xun's intentions, it is probably due to the recent turmoil, and it is hard to know whether the instigator is in the mansion that day, so he dare not use the old man lightly.

"Has Zhonggong been sleepless lately?"

"Perhaps His Royal Highness entered the palace for the first time, and he didn't get used to it in time."

"What does Zhonggong do during the day?"

"His Royal Highness is good at writing, most of them are reading a subset of classics and history."

Han Xuan lowered his eyes, and sighed secretly in his heart, after all, he was suffering, and he was also suffering himself.

"I will sit with Zhonggong for a while, and you will step back."

Hanxuan stepped inward, and the palace maid felt obedient and got up to draw the curtain.Han Xuan walked in sideways, and the candlelight jumped, illuminating the sharp edges and corners of the palace man's face, upon closer inspection, it was not an ordinary color, Han Xuan asked: "What's your name?"

"Your Majesty Han Lian. Your majesty laughed at her humble name."

Han Xuan nodded, said nothing more, just looked at An Zhi in the distance.That side fell asleep, and in the dim light, it was even more dull.From the outside to the inside, there are several layers of light yarn, and the decorations are all colorful clouds and flying egrets.Yingying looked at it, suddenly realized that the sleeping place was only above the clouds and clear sky.

An Zhi was wearing a plain pajamas, with her body turned inward, with a smear of snow on her neck.In the twilight, his back is still in that bony state.

Han Xuan slowly sat down at the end of the couch, his hair was full of Qiongyao and pearls, and the light of the residual candle was reflected, and he saw a cold light.

Listening to An Zhi's breath, looking at that face, although the candle light is dim, it is still as breathtaking as before.

Han Xuan sat in a daze, with curtains in front of his eyes, moving slightly with the night wind, causing sparse shadows to flicker.Standing in the dark, looking at the bright lights behind the brocade, reflecting the overlapping of double shadows, I feel even more fascinated.

Anzhi was by his side, breathing slowly.Han Xuan thought to himself: This is what I got for him.But this is so bitter and unspeakable.

Watching Anzhi fall asleep, he still recalled that dream. In the dream, Anzhi's face was like spring light, and there was a twilight behind him, soft and intoxicating.An Zhi stretched out his hand and said to himself: "Wait for me to come back at the place where you first chose me."

He is right in front of him at this moment, and for Han Xuan, perhaps it is difficult for him to smile a little bit.And the "place where he was first chosen" is also lost in the world, without a trace.

I don't know how long it took, when An Zhi was tossing and turning, he touched the quilt and realized that he was being pressed by a corner of the quilt. In his sleepy eyes, he could see Han Xuan's head full of pearls and jade, and a slight cloud formed in his eyebrows: "You are here!" .”

"I'm disturbing you." Han Xuan didn't dare to look at Anzhi, but only looked at the heavy curtains.Han Xuan was afraid, afraid of seeing that pair of eyes, only hatred.

"It's no different between sleeping and waking."

"I'm sorry for you."

"Isn't that what you want?"

What Han Xuan was most afraid of was not An Zhi's yelling and cursing, but such a shallow response.It is better to hate than to be indifferent.

"I thought that I was happy to be able to look at you and talk to you. But now that you are in front of me, I feel lost."

"Why bother. Here, what can't you have, why should you be attached to me alone."

"You are you, not someone else."

"So what?"

"So I can imagine it."

"But you can't get it. You treat me like this, and you have such a reputation, do you think you got it? It's just for outsiders to see."

"Don't you know, my whole life is just living in the eyes of outsiders."

The door is lifted lightly, the night wind pours in, the curtains in the room are lightly fluttered, and the clouds are floating above it, and the brocade gulls and herons follow the clouds, vibrating to the sky.

Seeing Xi entering the hall, An Zhi turned his back and said no more.Han Xuan also restrained his face and sat on his side.

"What's the matter?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Concubine Xuan's imperial concubine drank poison and apologized for her sins, her skin was severely injured, and her life is hanging by a thread." Seeing that no one entered, Xi bowed and stood outside the curtain.

Hanxuan was filled with grief and shame for a while, and all of them mourned: I didn't want to use Jing Yan's words to lure him into the game, but under the whole nest, how could there be any eggs, and he was harmed after all.Think again: now that the clouds in the palace are treacherous, no matter what, don't be too revealing.So Hanxuan just said lightly: "Follow me to have a look."

Seeing and hearing the words, Xi opened the curtain, and accompanied Han Xuan to get up and leave.

But I didn't want to, a word came from the clear silhouette.

"You really hurt a lot of people."

An Zhi's voice was very soft, without sarcasm, but it resounded through Han Xuan's heart like thunder.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Han Xuan dare not look at each other anymore.

Chaolu Hall was originally a place where there were few people, and even when Zongtian was there, there was no noise.Looking at it tonight, the huge hall is only dimly lit, except for the sleeping hall, which is lit like daylight at this time.

When Hanxuan arrived, the imperial doctor had already knelt all over the floor, Zhiyu was waiting by the door, Huaiqing was kneeling in front of the couch, weeping unceasingly.On the couch, Si Cheng said that there was blood on his mouth, which didn't stop for a moment.He had already been unable to howl, and could only hold on to the edge of the bed.I saw the pair of jade hands, the veins were bulging, but there was no blood.

"How is Concubine Xuan?" Han Xuan asked sharply, seeing this thunderous state, everyone couldn't help but shudder.

"Your Majesty drank a large amount of poison from aconitum, and her internal organs were damaged. I am trying my best to treat you." An imperial doctor replied.

"Can you worry about your life?"

When Han Xuan asked this sentence, he was met with dead silence.No one in the hall answered, everyone bowed their heads to the ground, their humerus rustling.There was only Si Chengyan wailing bit by bit in his ears, but he was also angry like a thread.

Han Xuan was furious: "Trash! If you can't save the imperial concubine, neither can anyone!"

Everyone was even more silent, only to hear Si Cheng's hoarse voice on the bed, but still managed to squeeze out a few words: "Your Majesty... promised... my concubine..."

Hanxuan burst into tears for a moment, unable to care about other things, threw himself on the couch, Huaiqing couldn't hold back the tears, retreated to the side, choked up and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine knows that she has committed a serious crime tonight, so she dare not ask for help. Your Majesty forgives me lightly, and has committed suicide to repay the emperor's kindness. However, the empress is thinking in her heart, it is all the promises made by her majesty, and I hope that your majesty will take pity on your empress..."

Hanxuan stepped forward and grabbed Si Chengyan's withered hands: "I will never break my promise to you! You must live, and if you die for him, I will never stop you, but you must never do it." Be buried with the wolfish ambitions of others."

When Sicheng heard the words, he stopped talking, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, but his face was as thin as paper, extremely pale, and the bright red with full sleeves hit his icy muscles and bones, adding a little darkness Shen, it is unbearable to look directly at.His dazzling beauty is nothing but a dead fish, broken and broken.

Han Xuan lost his mind for a moment.This Sicheng family was originally an enemy in the past and also a trouble in his heart, but at this time he taught him to be full of compassion.Xu is that everyone in the palace can only share his illness with him.The love of the two of them in life is the one who can't get it after spending their whole lives.Hanxuan understands that Sicheng is better than himself, and to lighten this life is to forget life and death just for him.

Hanxuan was filled with grief and hatred, got up and left, and Xijian and Zhiyu followed suit.

When everyone entered the main hall, Han Xuan saw that the furnishings in the hall were covered with dust, so he didn't take his seat, but stood in the hall, frowning deeply.Seeing this, everyone just knelt in awe and did not dare to move rashly.

"Zhi Yu, how did you manage your errand!" Han Xuan's anger remained undiminished, and he turned sideways to the crowd.

How did Zhiyu see Hanxuan's stern words, so he said in a whisper: "I got the imperial concubine Jing's order, and waited for Ji Li to rescue the thieves, so that Beiyuan could arrest the imperial concubine Xuan. I just sent the empress back to the Chaolu Hall and guarded it in the hall. Besides, from time to time, something happened. The minister immediately announced the imperial doctor, and then informed the Lord Linggong."

"How did he get the poison of aconitum?" Han Xuan knew that Zhi Yu hadn't made a big mistake, even though he was full of anger, he couldn't lose his sense of proportion.

"At that time, there was only the empress in the palace, and the servants really didn't know."

Seeing that he was vigilant, Xi immediately raised his voice, "Go and pass on the affairs of Chaolu Palace."

Huaiqing came in a moment, his face was full of tears, and he was devoted to the ground. Even if he had a holy face, he couldn't stop the waterfall in his eyes.

"Your mother has her own imperial doctor to treat her, so you can explain tonight's turmoil clearly," Xi said.

Huaiqing calmed down a little, and said: "I heard that General Wei Rang was sent to the palace. I was afraid of my life, so I told my mother. My mother only sent my servant to call Master Ji Li in Yunqing Hall to meet him, and went to Beiyuan alone. Rescue the general. When I arrived at Beiyuan, Beiyuan was under martial law by Mr. Zhi Yu. After returning to Chaolu Palace, I was detained in the side hall with all the attendants. When I heard that something happened to the empress, I begged Mr. Zhiyu to let the minister out , at least serve the empress for the last time."

After saying that, Huaiqing burst into sobs again.Xi saw that he was at a loss for a while, and said lightly: "Nonsense, there is no general Wei Rang."

Han Xuan remained silent, and looked at Huai Qing with frowning eyes: "Have you heard? I never thought that Concubine Xuan's eyes and ears are so powerful in the palace."

Huaiqing suppressed tears and said: "At that time, all the family members of Chaolu Hall were imprisoned in Shuyu Pavilion in Beiyuan, and then Concubine Zhaogui dismissed her attendants, and there were old servants who stayed in Beiyuan as errands."

Han Xuan was silent for a long time, the anger in his brows decreased slightly, adding a bit of sadness.

"Let's summon Concubine Jing to Yihan Palace."

Seeing and hearing the words, Xi was very embarrassed, and said falteringly: "Ms. Jingfei, I left the palace at Zishi."
