Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

I have passed this several times, and I am no stranger to this sound, but when I opened the curtain, I still did not see the flowing river, because the mountains and mountains in front of me blocked my view.

Although it is raining, I can still see the setting sun falling in the distance, most of the sun is blocked, and the mountains are plated with a golden outline, which makes people feel extraordinarily magnificent. I only glanced at it. Unwilling to remove his eyes, he kept looking out of the curtain.

Although the scenery is beautiful, I ca n’t see people around because the road was rainy in the past. We were slower than expected before. It ’s a half day late. If we do n’t speed up our footwork, we wo n’t find a place to rest tonight. It ’s time to hurry up to speed up and let the horse run.

The rustling horseshoes echoed in the rain, and the cart was bumpy.

Finally, when the sky was completely dark, we finally heard the sound of some people's activities.

After opening the curtain, I finally reached the pier of Sanjiangkou.

I have been in the compartment before, and the thick slabs are still covered with thick mattresses. In addition, Susu has always prepared a small stove for warming my hands. It does not feel cold, but now I get out of the car and I feel a chill. It struck me and froze me in an instant.

Looking back, it seems to have arrived here in such weather.

The coldness of Shudi had been taught when I was a child, but it was the first time that Pei Yuanzhang had experienced it. He was so cold that his whole face was a little blue. When he got out of the carriage, his legs were cold, and he stood firm after a bite. , Terrified everyone around.

I looked up and looked around.

I have n’t seen it for a few years, and it ’s still the same, because it ’s getting late, there are no people on this pier, and there are few lamps left in the nearby village. If you look carefully, you can also see the scenery of the towers you have seen. It makes no difference.

The people here are too leisurely and peaceful, and look at it for decades, except that they will not change much.

I really hope there will never be any changes here.

Everyone got out of the carriage, sorted it out a bit, and I took them to an inn.

It was the one we used to live in.

This town looks very deserted, as well as this inn. When I walked in, I found it was very quiet. It seemed that there were no guests, and we had many people. The boss came out to greet us and welcomed us into the lobby.

I knew him, and he nodded and stood beside him, and looked at me more.

I laughed, "Boss, it's been a long time."

He said immediately: "Oh, I thought I was dazzled. It turned out to be Mrs. You."

Pei Yuanzhang glanced at me and said, "We've been here before."

"Yes," the owner was very enthusiastic, and personally led us to sit in front of the spacious seat in the middle of the lobby, and quickly asked the shop's second person to make tea and prepare to eat, and then said: "It all happened a few years ago It ’s going to happen, this time Mrs.-come back to work? ”

I smiled, "Yeah."

He glanced at Pei Yuanzhang next to me again, and he seemed restless. Obviously, he recognized that the people around me were not the people of that year, but he did n’t ask much. I asked him to prepare all the rooms. After all, We brought a lot of people, and we had to be optimistic about our horses in the trough, and suddenly this quiet inn was busy.

After a while, we finally settled down.

Because it was late, and they could n’t make anything to eat, they just warmed up the cakes and delivered them. The boss personally steamed a plate of rice just to bring the sweet rice cakes to the table and laughed. : "The mountain home is simple, and I hope you will not be surprised."

We sat in the middle of the lobby, and Pei Yuanzhang looked up around, and said, "Are you no guests here?"

The boss stood with his sleeves aside and sighed, "Isn't it? There are no customers these days, and the store is almost open."

"Oh? Is it so difficult?"

"Hey, we are pretty good. There are no customers in the shop. How much can we do for breakfast and lunch. Those who are fishing are miserable. They ca n’t go into the water and they are almost out of food."

"why?"

"Why else? The world is chaotic. I heard that people from the east are coming here. Everyone is still discussing whether to leave here or not to cause chaos."

It seems that even they know that Jiangling has assembled heavy soldiers and is preparing to attack Xichuan.

I took a sip of tea: "Why don't you go?"

"Go, how do you go? I've been here for most of my life. Where can I go?"

"Are you really not afraid of fighting here?"

The boss hesitated, "Should not?"

Pei Yuanzhang and I looked at each other, but there was nothing. He waved his hand to let them go down. We sat down to drink something and went upstairs to rest.

When they all retreated, Pei Yuanzhang said, "It seems that the people here are still fantasizing about the situation."

I was silent for a while before I said, "Xichuan has not fought for so many years, and of course they will have fantasy."

"Then do you think that their illusions will come true?"

"..."

I hesitated for a moment, and said, "No matter if it can come true, people have to be a little fanciful."

"..."

"Maybe that day will come true."

After speaking, I picked up the rice cake and took a bite. In the end, I was still hungry. The sweet smell of rice stimulated me to be hungry. After this sip, everyone was calm.

Looking at me, Pei Yuanzhang also ate a piece of rice cake, and then looked at me: "Listen to that boss's tone, have you been here before?"

"Ok."

"When?"

"Years ago."

"Years ago?"

Seeing him look like he broke the casserole, I looked at him and said, "Just before going out to sea, I went with-we went back to Xichuan. Later I left here to go back to Jinling, just by boat from Sanjiangkou of."

He raised an eyebrow: "Oh."

He won't know our trip. After all, we were in Xichuan shortly after, and Wu Yanqiu was sent by him.

He smiled and said, "He just took advantage of that time and got on the line with many of you in Xichuan, didn't he?"

This sentence sounded ironic in my ears. I glanced at him and said lightly, "He didn't come early."

"..."

"Yang Yunhui is earlier than him."

Hearing this sentence, he said nothing, the two of them ate a little quietly, and then returned to their respective rooms to rest.

Susu quickly cleared the room aside and smoked the bed warm to me, but when I looked back, I was still sitting by the bed, watching the rainy night outside, but I could only see Some faint outlines not far from the window, and even further away, you can't even see the mountains.

However, Jiang Liu's voice was clear and audible.

Susu came over: "Miss, don't you have a rest?"

I smiled slightly: "I've been nesting in the car for the past two days, and I've slept too much and can't sleep."

"Then I take some hot water to give you bubble feet, and I can fall asleep."

"Okay."

After she left, the room was completely quiet.

I didn't mean to support her, but some things seemed to come out of my mind only when there were no other people around.

I just said that to Pei Yuanzhang, of course, there is a component that refuses to show weakness, and almost has to be angry, but in fact, when it comes to Yang Yunhui, things are not so simple.

I still remember that in the Jiange, Yang Jinqiao told me before leaving, the letter that Yang Yunhui sent to her that year.

When I was passing here before, I didn't know the existence of the letter, but after reading the letter, now when I come here again, some things seem to appear faintly in the mist.

After staying in the room for a while, I still felt a little suffocated, simply put on a piece of clothes and pushed the door to go out, and took two steps in the promenade. Originally there were no other guests in this inn, and all of us had rested, so it was quiet, but after two steps, we heard footsteps from the other side.

I asked, "Who?"

The people over there didn't carry the lantern and the candlestick like me, but he came over and saw that it was Chabixin.

I laughed: "Why don't you sleep so late?"

He shook his head.

"Did you sleep a lot on the carriage before, but you can't sleep now?"

"Sometimes I can't sleep, but," he glanced back at his room over there, then said, "father is still talking to the emperor, and of course I can't sleep."

"Oh?"

I did not expect that Pei Yuanzhang was so energetic.

"They kicked you out?"

"God is mysterious and not allowed to be heard by outsiders."

I smiled slightly.

In fact, these things are just a matter of appearance. At this stage, there is nothing to hide. Of course I know what abacus Pei Yuanzheng went to Taihe this time. Although it seems to come back empty-handed, but my heart It was clear that when he met a Charin, he would have picked up a treasure.

Chabixing looked at me for a moment and said, "I thought it was-I thought the young lady would stop it."

It seems that he is not stupid, even if we don't tell him, Pei Yuanzhang's thoughts, he can guess one or two.

I thought about it and said, "Because there are some things I haven't figured out yet."

"Oh? Brother Liu? Didn't he figure it out?"

"He ... have figured it out and tried to convince me, but I might need some time."

Chabising nodded gently.

I looked around again, there was no light, it was too late, and I said, "If they want to talk, you can go to the store and prepare a room for you, and you can't help but sleep."

He nodded, and I turned to prepare to return to the room, but saw him still standing still.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

He hesitated for a moment, then looked up at me: "Miss, you-did you hear anything?"
