There was constant thunder outside, and Meng Eqi shrank two points into Sheng Jiayan's arms. However, Zhou Xing was too strong compared to Meng Yong's body, so even if Meng Eqi wanted Bird Yiren to lean against Sheng Jiayan's arms, he just lay down in his direction with difficulty.
I don't know if it was because the thunder outside was too loud, the wind and rain were pounding on the window, and Meng Qiqi couldn't sleep. She took advantage of the light of the lightning to peek at Sheng Jiayan's face. He didn't even seem to be asleep.
"Ayan, I have often had a dream recently..."
"What dream?"
He really hasn't slept yet. Meng Qiqi's words reached her lips, and she licked her lips, but she stopped suddenly when she thought about it. She didn't know why, but there was a hint of hesitation in her heart.
"I always dreamed that you didn't want me and the child, and abandoned us." In the end, she changed her way.
Sheng Jiayan closed his eyes and smiled, he leaned over and dropped a loving kiss on Meng Qiqi's forehead.
"Will not."
"Never in the future?"
"Never again."
"What about before?"
"before… "
Meng Qiqi asked suddenly, Sheng Jiayan almost didn't have time to react and wanted to subconsciously answer, but he stopped. A pair of deep eyes spread out from under his eyebrows, Meng Qiqi looked at him cautiously, exploring his thoughts in the bottom of his eyes.
Sheng Jiayan stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of her nose twice: "You are sleepy, where did you come from before."
Meng Qiqi stuck out her tongue, closed her eyes and felt sleepy. Rao was because she forced herself not to care, but the voice of the man in the dream kept lingering in her ears, making her upset.
"Have you ever thought, if you really lost a memory, why would he want you to forget it?"
Why did he make me forget...
After an unknown amount of time, Meng Eqi was half asleep and half awake, but she could still hear the roar of thunder outside, from far to near. And in the rainy night, the gust of wind slammed against the window lattice, and the howling wind seemed to harbor thousands of unjust souls moaning and wailing.
Suddenly, there was a huge cracking sound outside, and the startled Meng Eqi was completely sleepy.
Sheng Jiayan had already sat up on the couch one step ahead of her, saw Meng Eqi wanting to go out, and pressed her back on the bed: "Wait here, I'll take a look."
The outside soon became noisy. Countless palace servants were running back and forth on the long corridor. Meng Eqi vaguely heard someone shouting the word "go water".
After a while, Sheng Jiayan turned around and walked back into the house and said, "It's nothing, the lightning broke the tree in front of the Dragon Pavilion, and the hanging gauze outside the Dragon Pavilion caught fire, which has now been extinguished."
Only then did Meng Eqi fall down on the couch again, she was so sleepy. Before going to bed, she suddenly felt a little strange, but she couldn't remember what was strange.
By the time the color came to light, the wind and rain had stopped. Meng Qiqi was picked up from the couch by Sheng Jiayan. She grabbed Sheng Jiayan's sleeve and half-closed her eyes: "Ayan, I'm still very sleepy, let's go to Meizilin instead!"
Sheng Jiayan rarely insisted, he hugged her, and gave two words very coldly: "No."
Meng Eqi was dressed neatly and sullenly followed Sheng Jiayan, who was in high spirits, hair and makeup, and walked out. When he went down the white jade steps, Meng Eqi slammed into the pillar.
She felt as if something was different.
The smell of burning was floating in the air, and a plane tree not far under the steps was split in half by lightning and burned into black coal. On both sides of the tree, there are palace people cleaning up the mess, and it is not that Meng Eqi feels a little strange here.
She subconsciously turned her head to look at the two dragon pillars under the Long Pavilion corridor, her pupils shrank.
The two dragons on the dragon column are still walking on auspicious clouds and carrying auspiciousness, and they are about to fly into the clouds when they step on the waves, lakes and seas. But they were originally eye-dotted, but now there are no eyes, only blank eye sockets.
Meng Qiqi wondered why she felt a little strange, but now she no longer feels the illusion of being stared at from behind. But these two dragons clearly have eyeballs, and they were carved and painted with lacquer. Now that the paint on the eyeballs is gone, it couldn't have been a heavy rain last night, and two dragons flew by the clouds!
With doubts, Meng Eqi followed Sheng Jiayan on the carriage to Meizilin. The wheel of the car turned quietly, Meng Qiqi couldn't help but ask: "Ayan, do you remember the two dragons in front of the Dragon Pavilion when we first arrived at Guanchun Garden? I remember they had eyes at that time. , why did I just watch it but it was gone?"
Sheng Jiayan's face was dull, he seemed to think about it carefully, but: "I didn't pay special attention to it, why?"
Meng Qiqi thought for a while, then smiled twice: "It's alright, it's just that I suddenly found a difference and felt a little strange."
Sheng Jiayan didn't care, holding the tea cup, white air filled his indifferent eyebrows: "Since you did Zhou Xing, you have become more and more observant."
Meng Qiqi was a little overjoyed, but Sheng Jiayan is rare to boast!
"Of course, but I was actually inspired by His Majesty's diligence in government affairs, so I worked hard to be strong, use Zhou Xing's body to do what the emperor should do, set an example for Zhou Yuli, and make everyone in the world look up with admiration. ."
Sheng Jiayan's lips curled slightly: "Since this is the case, the memorials you delayed because of being lazy in the past must be dealt with soon?"
Meng Eqi's smile was slightly stiff, and some of the memorials that Sheng Jiayan could handle were handled by him, but some of them had to be covered by Meng Eqi himself. A few days ago, she was lazy until now on the grounds that she did not want to let the political affairs affect her mood when she went out to play, but now she is mentioned by Sheng Jiayan again. She looked at Sheng Jiayan angrily, which pot can't be opened and mentioned! Can we have a good chat!
"After returning from Meizilin, take a good look at the book, and let me hear your unique insights." Sheng Jiayan took a sip of tea, so it was.
"Cough," Meng Qiqi pretended to be serious, and said righteously, "I mean starting from the Ming Dynasty and trying to be strong, don't worry about the memorial! I still need to think about it more."
Sheng Jiayan chuckled, drinking the yellow tea in the cup one after another, his long and narrow eyes half-drooping, and the dense eyelashes covered, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.
The carriage quickly drove to the plum forest. Due to the heavy rain last night, the mud in the forest was sticky and it was really difficult to walk. Rejecting the eunuch's good intentions to expel him, Meng Eqi and Sheng Jiayan went to the depths of Meizilin. Along the way, Meng Eqi reached out and picked the plums hanging from the branches. She squeezed them directly and stuffed them into her mouth. The sweet and sour taste bloomed on the buds, and Meng Eqi ate many of them one after another.
Suddenly, Sheng Jiayan stretched out his hand to stop Meng Eqi's footsteps.
Meng Eqi looked at him bewilderedly with her mouth full of plums, and only then did she realize that the silence in the woods was terrifyingly quiet. The guards who had followed behind also disappeared.
There was the sound of rustling footsteps in the woods on the side, Meng Qiqi spat out two plum kernels, and asked with difficulty: "Ayan, we won't..."
Sheng Jiayan frowned without saying a word, protecting Meng Qiqi behind him, and looking at the suspicious bush not far away.
The bushes swayed to and fro, as if someone was about to come out.
Meng Qiqi stared nervously, her heart thumping wildly.
You must know that she may be very clumsy to move with this Zhou Xing body now, and it is even more delusional to resist the assassin's every move, not to mention running away, I am afraid that Sheng Jiayan will be implicated at that time.
Just then, a familiar figure emerged from the grass.
After Meng Eqi saw the man's face clearly, the remaining plums in her mouth were sprayed out by her like a machine gun.
Sheng Jiayan was also slightly surprised.
"Bad, why are you here!"
Meng Qiqi looked at the deceased spirit who had just crawled out of the bushes in front of him, and he actually seemed to have a real body. Dressed in commoner clothes like a woodcutter, he turned into a handsome young man with a few leaves stuck in his hair.
"Your Majesty! Sister Meng!" With the appearance of seeing his relatives, Shuishen rushed towards Sheng Jiayan, wanting to give Sheng Jiayan a strong bear hug.
And Sheng Jiayan just flickered, and Shen Shen fell directly to the ground.
Sitting on the ground like a deceased daughter-in-law, she looked back at Sheng Jiayan, and sobbed at her thin shoulders: "Sister Meng, you are so ruthless!"
Seeing that Sheng Jiayan's face darkened a bit, Meng Qiqi stepped forward and patted him, crouched down, and patted Shuishen's shoulder: "Xiang, I am your sister Meng. Because of an accident, my soul and His Majesty's souls are swapped. Well, now he's me, I'm him..."
Wei Shen looked at the two of them back and forth in surprise, and after changing his mind, he turned his head and rushed towards Meng Qiqi: "Sister Meng, it's so hard for me to find you!"
Meng Qiqi put a finger on his forehead to prevent him from rushing over: "What's the matter with you first, why did you come to the mortal world, you won't sneak out!"
"No, no!" Shuishin hurriedly explained: "It was Lord Judge who saw that the lifespan of Zhou Xing in the book of life and death had changed, so let me help your majesty and sister!"
Meng Qiqi's eyes twitched. Judge, judge, it's not good who you send, if you send the gods, do you really help them or help them speed up the demise of the dynasty!
Although she saw Shen Shen, she was very kind, and her eyes were hot, and she almost wanted to hug Shen Shen and cry.
Fortunately, Sheng Jiayan stood between the two in time at this time and separated the distance.
"What does Zhou Xing's lifespan change mean?" he asked.
Shuishen scratched his head: "I don't know, the judge may have irresistible factors, let me help His Majesty and sister to keep an eye on it. This time the court is also paying attention to this dynasty, because if this dynasty perishes, According to the records in the book, the next emperor who ascends the throne will be blood-bathed, and life will be devastated. The most important thing is that our underworld will definitely be full of ghosts."
"Then why did you come here to find us? Shouldn't you be in the palace?" Meng Qiqi pulled out the leaves on his head for Shuishen.
Faint God was a little embarrassed and said, "On the way here... I got lost."
It's not that before he came into the world, he reluctantly said goodbye to the God of Fortune, because he would not see each other for most of the morning. The two hugged and cried by the Naihe Bridge, making it seem like they were parting from life and death. In the end, General Xuehe and the others couldn't stand it any longer, so they threw Shuishen off the Naihe Bridge, so Shuishen came to the world with his head on the ground, and after being dizzy for a few days, they came to see Meng Qiqi and the others.
