Tomorrow is the eighth day of February, and this is destined to be a sleepless night. The servants and maids in the palace prepared things for the emperor's wedding all night.
The Moxiang Pavilion is being refurbished, and Jixiang is leading everyone to decorate the new house.
All the trees in the yard were hung with wedding silks, the bed curtains were replaced with brand new colorful embroidered cherry red beaded silk curtains, and the cherry red gold thread mandarin duck quilt was covered with golden copper coins and longan. Dried fruits such as red dates, lotus seeds, peanuts, etc.
Concubine Shu led a group of maids to make a fuss inside and out.
Narcissus deliberately lifted the quilt in the new room to have a look, curled her lips, "It's still spreading the tent!"
Jixiang stood behind and stared at her, watching her leave, Jixiang checked again.
Auspiciousness is mainly served in the new house. Before the empress gets married, she has to watch over the new house, lest someone with malicious intentions put vicious things on it, which is unlucky.
It was cold at night, and on the desolate post road outside Yuncheng, a group of people was running wildly.
This night is destined not to be a night suitable for a peaceful sleep. Countless planning games are pushed and blocked in the dark night, waiting for the grand ceremony tomorrow.
In Wangyou Palace, Qingyun has already prepared the things that he will carry with him. Jiang Rui said that Ling Chen will come to pick her up tomorrow.
How can he avoid Huo Jingyun's eyes and ears
It was just dark when Huo Jingyun came, bringing Yang Qing and Gu Fan along, Yang Qing ordered the girl to take Qingyun's things to Shufang Palace, Gu Fan stood far outside.
Gu Fan has never met Qing Yun alone since the last palace change. Qing Yun heard that he was named General Protecting the Nation.
"Why do you want to go to Shufang Palace?" Qingyun asked Huo Jingyun.
Huo Jingyun said: "The Ministry of Rites wrote a letter saying that your horoscope is suitable for getting married in the Dongfang room. They discussed for a long time and decided to let you wait in Shufang Palace. Gu Fan, you are responsible for protecting the princess tonight."
Qingyun said: "No need! Brother, I don't want to see this person."
Huo Jingyun stepped forward and took Qingyun's hand: "Qingyun, Gu Fan has always been my man. Among the three hundred people who were beheaded in Prince Ping's Mansion were Gu Fan's parents. Gu Zheng was not his biological grandfather. Prince Ping's mansion saved the newborn Gu Fan when he was treating his concubine mother."
Qingyun shook off Huo Jingyun's hand: "Brother, I don't want to know about the past grievances, I only care about the people I love."
"Qingyun, Gu Zheng committed suicide after he knew that Gu Fan had turned against Ling Chen. Gu Fan had already been punished, besides, he was not Ling Chen's person, and there was no betrayal. I just hope that you don't do this to him. He's unfair."
Qing Yun sneered: "It's not fair? Senior brother, is this fair to me? I don't want to see him. If I see him, I want to kill him."
Huo Jingyun waved his hand, Gu Fan left.
Baici, Jingtian and Huanxi followed Qingyun to Shufang Palace.
Xiaojing was left in Wangyou Palace.
At this time, Wangyou Palace was heavily guarded, Xiao Jing wanted to go out several times but was blocked by Gu Fan.
Qingyun had told Xiaojing that she was going to escape from the palace tomorrow, and the route had been agreed with Xiaojing, and now she was separated from Princess Qingyun and detained in Wangyou Palace.
Red wedding silk is hung on the tree outside Wangyou Palace.
Xiaojing was very anxious, just after the second watch, the door opened, and the emperor walked in with Qingyun in his arms.
"Xiaojing, find Princess Qingyun her usual medicine, she is not feeling well." Xiaojing agreed, and quickly found her usual medicine for Qingyun.
Qing Yun seemed weak: "Your Majesty, I'll just sit in the courtyard for a while."
"It's so late and it's so cold, are you outside?" Huo Jingyun's voice was full of pity.
Qingyun said: "I want to get some fresh air outside."
Huo Jingyun hugged Qingyun and sat on the stone bench.
The night was like a charm, and a few shadows entered quietly. They were so familiar with the palace, they avoided thousands of guards and came to Wangyou Palace.
"Qingyun, I have already told the Ministry of Rites that all etiquette should be kept simple. You should take a good rest. I will go and see how they are preparing."
Just as Huo Jingyun was about to leave, Qingyun grabbed his sleeve: "Brother, don't go. Qingyun doesn't want you to go."
At this time, Qingyun's face is charming, infinitely lingering.
Xiao Jing was a little puzzled, why the princess's attitude towards Huo Jingyun changed so much, could it be her trick? Was it intentional to paralyze the emperor
"Okay, I won't go, I will accompany you." Huo Jingyun hugged Qingyun. For a while.
"Qingyun, are you happy to marry me?" Huo Jingyun asked in a low voice.
"Happy. Qingyun has always liked senior brother." Qingyun leaned tightly on Huo Jingyun's body.
Huo Jingyun held Qingyun's hand in his palm, and combed her messy hair behind her ear with the other hand.
"But, I always feel that you like that person..." Huo Jingyun's voice seemed to be jealous.
"Senior Brother, that was before. I used to like him, and I have changed since the death of my elder brother Xin Daer. I have paid too much for Ling Chen, and the final result is no longer what I wanted at the beginning. Qingyun only likes Senior Brother You, and, we already have a child, I won't think about him anymore." Qing Yun's voice was as gentle as water.
Huo Jingyun hugged her tightly, "Qingyun, I'm afraid someone will make trouble for tomorrow's wedding ceremony, you must pay attention and protect yourself."
"Don't worry, brother, I only have you in my heart, no one can destroy our marriage."
In the gloomy darkness, three silent shadows stood.
The one in the middle is tall, dressed in black clothes, with sapphire hair, stern eyebrows, slightly raised mouth, eyes like a deep lake, standing there, exuding a majestic and dignified air.
At this moment, he gritted his teeth tightly, with a smile on his lips, trembling slightly, as if he didn't believe it all.
"Who's there?" Huo Jingyun asked in a deep voice.
He put Qingyun down, got up and stood in front, and drew out the blunt sword in his waist.
Three people came out silently from the shadows.
The one in the middle, with a sarcastic smile on his face, phoenix eyes and long eyebrows, is the former emperor Ling Chen, and Han Zhitao and Zhang Yang are behind him.
At the same time, several black figures quietly landed behind them.
"You're here." Huo Jingyun was not surprised.
This was the first meeting between Ling Chen and Huo Jingyun after the change of Jingyun Palace.
Although Huo Jingyun sent a lot of manpower and material resources during this period, he still couldn't find Ling Chen's trace, but in the past two months, they had countless confrontations.
Ling Chen had brought people to the palace twice, Huo Jingyun's hidden guard had just appeared, and he left quickly, they never met face to face. But in Yuncheng, Ling Chen could be seen everywhere, but he couldn't be caught.
Now, their gazes meet silently in mid-air like lightning, without any sharp sparks, everything is like the mountains before the volcanic eruption, quiet and silent, the outside is as calm as water, the mountains are green and the water is green, but the inside is already Undercurrents surged.
It is not enough for outsiders to see the sharpness and sharpness hidden in it. Only those who know the inside story can understand how daring and even tragic it is.
They used to fight side by side in the most difficult times, cherish each other and appreciate each other. Is it betrayal? But Huo Jingyun's heart was never given to Ling Chen from the beginning. His purpose of getting close to Ling Chen was to use him.
Ling Chen thought he understood Huo Jingyun. When you think about it, that's not betrayal. They are both surnamed Ling, with the same blood flowing from their bodies. They are enemies again.
Even after Ling Chen knew that he was the apprentice of the Juggernaut, he never questioned it. Is it because he is Lan Ling's brother
Yes, Lan Ling is his best protection. He just didn't expect that he would fall in love with Lan Ling and couldn't help himself.
The origin of Lan Ling and him can be traced back to the story between his adoptive father Huo Zhan and Lan Ling's mother Chen Yan.
The legend of Lan Ling's mother Chen Yan and adoptive father Huo Zhan is a beautiful love story, which makes people sympathetic. And Chen Yan is a legendary woman. People have added many stories and poured a lot of wishes into them.
The story is beautiful, but what really happened in it, only the parties themselves know. Without a lover who is together, it will not be a beautiful story after all.
