The warm spring has not arrived this year, and March is still chilly. From time to time, the cold wind blows into the house through the gaps in the doors and windows, making people shiver.
The newly assigned maid is gentle and peaceful, but I don’t even remember her name. After all, I will be leaving here tomorrow night, and I don’t want to be bound by anything else.
I was wondering what I should do?
After all, there is not much time left here.
It’s better to pack up the things tomorrow. If the new maid sees us packing up today, it will inevitably cause trouble.
I just stayed alone in the quiet room, feeling the time passing by in the blink of an eye.
Finally, I couldn't help but run to the bookshelf and took out the storybook that I had carefully kept in the box.
I sat in front of the window, turning the pages one by one as the sun's shadow slowly moved.
I didn't let the maid light the charcoal fire. When it felt cold, I would rub my hands together and then blow gently with my mouth.
When I turned to the last page, my face was already covered with tears.
I quickly turned my face away, fearing that my tears would wet the page.
Outside the window, there is the crisp sound of "dripping" as the ice and snow on the eaves melt into water, and green can be vaguely seen on the empty branches.
I really want to see you.
Song Heng.
I slowly moved to the edge of the bed, leaned over, and buried my face directly in the soft quilt.
I just realized that this was the one that my new maid had changed for me. Coincidentally, it was the same lake blue maple-patterned quilt.
"You are deceiving the king."
"Go to bed."
"You want me to hold you?"
…
I cried so hard that my whole body was shaking but I didn't dare to cry out loud. I just clenched the corner of the quilt tightly with both hands, and the tears that had been accumulating for the past few days seemed to burst out in an instant.
That day, I was also tossing and turning in pain in bed, clutching the corner of the quilt tightly.
You are still willing to coax me just because I am a concubine.
So what now?
You don't even want to see me?
Don’t dare?
Or forgot?
Or have you never thought about it?
"Shuang'er..."
"Shuang'er..."
The person you want to indulge in the sweetness with day and night, is there ever a moment when it is me?
I had a quick meal and then lay down on the bed.
It turns out that the closer things get, the calmer they become.
Calm, like a pool of stagnant water.
The room finally darkened, and I went over tomorrow's escape route in my mind again.
Suddenly I remembered my local atlas. When I got out of bed groggily and went to look for it on the bookshelf, I saw a lot of storybooks that Song Heng brought for me from the library.
Touching a book is like putting your hand into a scorching flame.
Forget it. I already know the route by heart, so why bother looking for it again?
I finally curled up in bed again and looked out the window - the night swallowed up the day bit by bit, and finally there was no light at all.
Maybe it was because I was tired from crying in the afternoon, I fell asleep very quickly.
I was in the darkness of the outside world, closing my eyes and sinking into the darkness of my dreams.
…
"Cough, cough, cough, cough..." I suddenly felt a choking smoke blocking my nasal cavity. I opened my eyes suddenly and saw that the house was surrounded by raging flames, and there was the "crackling" sound of flames exploding.
I suddenly sat up from the bed, my pupils shrinking rapidly. What happened?!
The flames were licking the beams fiercely. I jumped up from the bed. The room was filled with thick smoke and it was almost impossible to see clearly. Tears instantly came to my eyes.
I subconsciously ran to the table, picked up the open notebook and held it in my arms. When I turned around and was about to rush out of the room, I was suddenly pulled by someone!
I shuddered all over and saw Wang Cairen, whom I hadn't seen for a long time! ?
"Follow me!" There were traces of ash on her pale face, and her slender wrists had such great pulling power.
She dragged me out of the room, and the moment I came out, I heard a "bang" sound behind me, and the door panel collapsed in flames.
My bare feet stepped on the cold floor outside. She pulled me towards the back wall of Chenxiang Pavilion. I could vaguely hear the queen on the other side yelling almost hysterically: "Hahahahahahaha... Mu Chenshuang... I can't be the queen... You don't even think about being the queen..."
Isn’t today the first day of March?!
The Queen finally escaped! ?
Just as I was about to run to the corner, I heard hurried footsteps behind me, followed by the sound of someone being slapped: "Hahahahaha... I thought, I thought, he at least had a little bit of sincerity towards me! Turns out, even you, Yuan, are just a spy sent to monitor me! Hahahahahaha..."
"Then now! Let's die together!" The broken voice almost tore through the darkness and was immediately engulfed by the fire, but the hurried footsteps were getting closer and closer.
My hands were suddenly grabbed by someone. In the darkness, Wang Cairen's eyes reflected the blazing fire and danced with golden light: "I was already dying. The Mu family and the Wang family have a righteous bond. You saved my life. Now that I know he is safe, I have no more worries."
Before I could open my mouth, I felt someone stabbed me in the back of the neck and I passed out.
Concubine Wang struggled to push me over the low wall and said, "Xiaofeng, Concubine Mu is now in your hands. Just follow the route we arranged."
"My lady..." Xiaofeng looked hesitantly at Lady Wang who was standing across the low wall.
Wang Cairen forced a smile and said, "She and I must finally come to an end... Let's go!"
Concubine Wang quickly ran away from the low wall and toward the brightest part of the fire. Empress Hua saw a figure waving a dagger that was still dripping with blood and madly chased after it: "Mu Chenshuang! You can't run away! You can't get away!"
Concubine Wang didn't even look back. Like a moth, she ran towards the blazing sea of fire without hesitation. Empress Hua also ran into the sea of fire almost frantically: "Don't run! Do you think I will let you go?!"
"Fire! Fire!" Someone in the harem, who was still almost asleep, finally noticed it. They saw the towering flames and thick smoke billowing from the Chenxiang Pavilion. "Fire! Fire!"
Xiaofeng held back her tears and carried me on her back as she ran towards Youhuamen, where a brown horse was already waiting for its owner, flapping its tail.
At this time, there was a mutiny in the previous dynasty, and the Youhua Gate was pitch black and there was no sound of anyone.
Just a few days ago, Concubine Wang heard that Song Yu was seriously ill and had to go to the border, so she spent all her money and went to great lengths to find a route, intending to imitate Princess Shuang and sneak out of the palace to see him for the last time.
But just as she was about to leave the palace, she discovered that the man she had been thinking about was not at the border, but was leading a group of elite soldiers towards the Yamatoden with bright eyes under the light of torches.
Walk with your head held high and be determined to win.
I see.
Wang Cairen was very happy. It turned out that he didn't have any serious illness.
…
But when Wang Cairen returned to Jingshui Pavilion, she caught a glimpse of the flickering flames in Chenxiang Pavilion, followed by the Queen's frantic, vague voice: "Mu Chenshuang, I'll burn you to death!"
Wang Cairen clenched her fists, knowing that he was safe and that he already had a beloved girl.
So what else is there for her to let go of at this moment?
