For the next time, the entire Crane City fell silent.
The common people were no longer violent and irritable as before, but sat on the side of the road one after another, or some returned home; while the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to neglect, they still devoted themselves to their duties and guarded the city gate.
On the city tower, Wen Ye, who hadn't closed his eyes almost all night, finally went into Qiao Tower to rest after everyone's persuasion.
However, his heart is still hanging outside.
Today is a gloomy day.
There were dark clouds above the head, as if the whole sky was covered by something, that kind of closed feeling made people breathless, and at the same time, there was no wind in the air.
But slowly, there is a sense of oppression that is about to come.
Wen Ye let out a long sigh and closed his eyes.
In his mouth, he murmured uneasily: "At sunset... at sunset..., at sunset, what can we do?"
This kind of uneasiness and doubts also diffused in the Golden Tower Garden.
Xu Miaoyin stood under the eaves, with her hands behind her back, frowning slightly, looking at the hazy sky above her head.
Although at this time, she couldn't see the clouds gathering and dispersing on the zenith, and she couldn't even see the slow pace of the sun, but she knew very well in her heart that time was passing slowly without stopping.
A few hours is just a blink of an eye.
But what about in the blink of an eye
Is the gate of Crane City really going to open? If it is really opened, what will Crane City face
"well… "
She sighed involuntarily.
At this time, there was a sound of light footsteps behind her, she didn't need to turn her head, the faint scent wafted over, and she knew it was Qin Ruolan.
In the past, she seldom smelled the fragrance of this kind of powder on her body, because she was confident enough in her appearance, and because of her long-standing desolate attitude, she didn't need to put on makeup to please the emperor, so she always had a light appearance, and her body was also Always exudes a light smell.
At that time, even though she was cold, he was willing to talk to her.
But this time, since Zhu Feng was found and everyone reunited, she started to paint herself, and this fragrance also appeared on her body.
Although, she is more aware of beauty than before, and the charm of beauty is indeed impressive.
But for some reason, Xu Miaoyin didn't want to talk to her too much.
At this moment, she has already walked behind.
"Is the empress worried?"
"..."
Xu Miaoyin was silent for a while, and didn't look back, she just said lightly: "What are you worried about?"
"Of course I'm worried. When the sun sets, if there is no countermeasure in the city, what will happen to Crane City."
As if it was the same as before, Qin Ruolan's tone was a bit cold.
But this kind of coldness is different from the feeling of indifference and indifference to everything in the past.
There is a bit of sarcasm, even, the arrogance of watching a good show.
Xu Miaoyin frowned slightly, turned around to look at her, was silent for a while, and then said: "After being a country, I am of course worried about the common people here."
A sneer flashed across Qin Ruolan's eyes.
"It's a pity that some people, as noble concubines, don't understand this truth."
"You mean - Si Nanyan."
"Not her, who else?"
Qin Ruolan's eyes were cold, with a needle-like piercing intent, and said: "She is just a concubine in the harem, and she is even carrying sins on her body, why should she make such a promise to the common people? If the time comes, really If something goes wrong, causing riots among the people, causing harm to the emperor and empress, can she afford it?"
Xu Miaoyin thought for a while, and then said: "This matter, she really decided on her own."
"That-"
"But," before Qin Ruolan finished speaking, Xu Miaoyin said again: "Since the emperor didn't say anything and acquiesced to this matter, presumably, the imperial concubine's actions are exactly in line with the emperor's wishes."
"..."
"Since the emperor has his plans and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, don't talk about it."
Qin Ruolan frowned her brows like spring willows.
It was clearly Si Nanyan who broke the rule of "No politics in the harem", but now, she used this to suppress herself, and she couldn't even say more.
It seems that they are standing on the same line.
Qin Ruolan sneered in her heart, although there was no expression on her face, but somehow, there was a little coldness in her pupils.
"yes."
After speaking, he turned and left.
Xu Miaoyin looked at her back and murmured to herself: "Big things are chaotic, small things are chaotic, when will the world be calm?"
Having said that, she couldn't help but smile bitterly herself.
"The sea of people is vast, and there are storms every day..."

Time passed slowly, and it was Youshi in a blink of an eye.
The weather was hazy all day, but in the evening, a faint golden light appeared in the western sky, and everyone could finally see the sunset.
But it's the last thing I want to see.
Facing the setting sun, Zhu Feng walked out of the Liuhe Hall, and outside the Golden House Garden, Yingshao and a team of people were already guarding outside, ready to escort him.
Nan Yan also followed closely.
Although in Ye Zheng's eyes, the two of them have been "sticky" for a whole day, but at this moment, Zhu Feng put on a straight face: "Go back."
Nan Yan looked at him: "I don't want it."
"Do you dare to resist the order?"
"Your Majesty, the agreement at sunset was made between the concubine and the common people, so how could the concubine not go?"
"I haven't blamed you for making your own decisions, how dare you mess around?"
"...!"
Nan Yan suddenly opened his eyes wide.
I didn't expect this man to turn his face faster than to turn a book. He said he didn't care before, but at this time, it's his own fault
She gritted her teeth and reached out to grab his sleeve: "I won't go back."
"you-"
Zhu Feng was about to get angry, but he felt her fingertips gently scratching his hand, and couldn't express it for a while.
Ye Zheng and the others at the side all turned their eyes away.
Seeing Zhu Feng holding his breath in his throat, unable to utter or swallow it, Nan Yan chuckled inwardly.
There is also an advantage to forgetting the past.
Zhu Feng couldn't hide his emotions, likes and dislikes even more than before.
Even though his face was calm, most of it had already been revealed in his eyes.
She found that as long as she got closer to him like this, or gently touched him, many things could be solved easily.
Why didn't I find it before
Seeing Zhu Feng's tangled face, as if he was going to get angry, but the corners of his mouth were twitching, Nan Yan stepped forward and said softly: "The reason I made this promise when the sun sets is because I have confidence in the emperor, so why don't the emperor make a promise?" Can you have no confidence in yourself?"
"..."
"I believe that no one can hurt me by the emperor's side."
"..."
These words completely blocked Zhu Feng's mouth.
He glared at Nan Yan, although he made a somewhat fierce look, but clearly showed a little helplessness.
"You!"
Nan Yan laughed immediately.
