The Bai family turned back on the third day after Bai Yi returned to Jiangnan. Mui Kui was a little surprised at first, but when he recalled Bai Yi's arrogant actions and words when he entered the capital, he wanted to understand that this happened overnight.

Chang'an is a month, and thousands of households are pounding their clothes.

Clothes are flying, and the flute is rustling. She sat on the side and closed her eyes and listened silently, until the music gradually faded, then she opened her eyes and smiled at the man standing beside her.

"His Royal Highness's Chang'an tune is really beautiful, even if A Kui has been practicing art for many years, he will be ashamed of himself." She stood up and looked at the moonlight at the lotus pond, "I heard that the Chang'an tune is the favorite of the General of the Sixteenth Guards of the Palace. The princess made it, then this song should be full of love, how come it is in the hands of the prince, but there is a trace of desolation?"

The prince shook his head slightly and said with a light smile: "Chang'an is in chaos, the family and country are not guarded, how come the love between sons and daughters..."

She lowered her eyes, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, but she seemed so far-fetched.

The prince glanced at her sideways and asked indifferently, "Do you regret it?"

"Regret...?"

"I regret not going with him at the beginning." The prince raised his eyebrows and looked at the lotus leaf in the lotus pond, "Otherwise, you will definitely not be trapped in the city now, accompany this useless prince in this palace to reward this round. waning moon."

Punkui opened her lips, but she didn't know what to say. She slowly rubbed the lantern with her hand, and opened her lips after a long while: "Punkui doesn't regret it, it's just... I don't know what to do."

He watched the dragonfly touch the surface of the water, smiled and said, "Don't make unwarranted troubles, you must know that the Bai family is in full swing, and the rebellion is only a matter of time."

Ling Kui looked at the person in front of him in confusion and thought for a moment.

He tapped her head lightly with the jade flute, and said, "Silly girl, what kind of person is he Bai Yi, if he is very sure, he will take my country with great certainty, and if he is seventy, he will use seven I have a certainty of points to step on my land. Since he wins with ten points and seven points, will he give up and not attack if he loses three points? So no matter what, these are just a matter of time.”

Huan Kui lowered his head and murmured, "Then... is there really no way for the imperial court to take him?"

The prince shook his head and sighed: "...Tomorrow is the day he will enter the capital, and the people in the court are panicking. I'm afraid this palace will not be able to keep you at that time." After that, he suddenly smiled and said dashingly: "But when we get there. At that time, these things had nothing to do with Ben Gong. The Crown Princess was eating this unwarranted vinegar in the East Palace every day, which made Ben Gong really have a headache. After tomorrow... I should spend the rest of my time with her... "

She looked at the man in front of her who had passed the age of confusion, slowly bent her knees, and pressed her forehead to the ground.

"His Royal Highness... I am really grateful to you, in the next life, I will repay you with a ring of grass..."

Putting a hand on her arm, the voice said gently: "Akui, although you and I have no love for children, I treat you like a confidante. You can't be so polite." After a pause, the voice laughed Said: "Besides, if you come to me in the next life, the Crown Princess will definitely not be able to spare me."

This made her laugh, the prince helped her up, stretched out his hand and put the jade flute in her palm, and said with a light smile, "I can't let me spoil such a good flute." Go, leaving only a remnant of Chang'an tune that no one plays anymore.

When the sun rose, Zhuo Xiaolou ran to complain that the current prince was given a book by General Bai, who had just entered Beijing, and he had already abolished the position of prince and was sent to the actual temple for claustrophobia. At that time, Kui had been sitting beside Langan all night. When he heard the news, he frowned slightly, turned to look at Xiaolou and said softly, "Xiaolou, I'm tired..."

It was the setting sun outside the window again, and Zhuo Xiaolou sighed slightly beside Mu Kui's bed. The prince has fallen, and the next step is the emperor. Has Bai Yi's ambition reached such a point? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly looked at the door. Outside the door, maybe it was the world that the girl on the bed never wanted to touch.

Ling Kui Youyou woke up and stared at the bed tent for a long time, until her eyes became numb, and then she slowly came back to her senses and blinked.

She was picked up by Zhuo Xiaolou, walked slowly to the dressing table and sat down, letting Xiaolou comb her long, jet-black hair, Zhuo Xiaolou trembled, and suddenly thought About to shed tears, the tears swirled in her eyes for a few times, and finally they could not be recognized as they spilled out of the eye sockets, and fell drop by drop on the hair on her hand, combed with wooden teeth, and was buried in the hair again. She helped Mu Kui up and walked slowly towards the door. The setting sun was just right outside the door. The dim and strong light fell sparsely through the carved wooden door, and scattered the mottled light and shadow on the ground. Taking a breath, she pushed it away. That door, at that moment, Zhuo Xiaolou seemed to feel the rays of light squeezed in like a torrent, squeezed into her nose, mouth, and turned into a thick and disgusting sewage.

Under the halo of the setting sun, the man sitting under the corridor wiping his sword stopped moving, stood up slowly, and turned his head slightly. His eyebrows were still like sharp swords, with deep brow bones, a high and straight nose, and his thin lips slowly drew a beautiful arc when the woman saw him, and he said, "Weak. Weak, are you awake?"

With that demeanor, it was normal as if he and she had lived together for many years.

His expression was calm, and he couldn't see an inch of edge, he just put away the sword in his hand, and continued to smile at her softly, "I wanted you to sleep a little longer, so I didn't go in to disturb you, now that you are awake, follow me back to the house. Bar."

Mui Kui took back the hand that was being supported by Xiaolou, and stood firmly inside the door. After a long time, her expression was still indifferent, like a statue carved out of stone, but her tone had changed. It seemed helpless and pleading, she said, "Bai Yi, you are forcing me to die."

A distant bell rang from the Ao Temple in the distance, like weeping and complaining, desolate and desolate.

Bai Yi looked at her and suddenly smiled, "each other."

At the age of twelve, Zhuo Xiaolou already regarded men as beasts.

When Bai Yi came back, he changed his clothes first. It was too dirty, with his sweat stains and dried blood stains. He was afraid of scaring her.

The girl is squinting and lying on a chair in the sun. The sunlight falls on her face through the leaves, casting a shadow on her face. Hearing the movement, she slowly opened her eyes, and only then did she see Young Master Bai who was staring blankly at her.

He had been standing there looking at her for a long time, until she suddenly opened her eyes, and it seemed like she suddenly reacted. What have you done?"

The girl turned her face, stared at the corner of the courtyard and said lightly, "You keep me here, what else can I do." With full dissatisfaction, Bai Yi stood awkwardly on the spot, and the movements of his hands froze for a long time.

"Weak..." He seemed hesitant, and said to her, "It's not peaceful outside."

She was a little angry: "It's not peaceful? That's what you messed up. If you don't come to Chang'an, it will still be safe and peaceful here."

Knowing that she was still angry, Bai Yi walked over and sat down beside her, put one hand on her forehead and slowly rubbed it with her fingertips, and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, I messed up, that's not it. Because there are people I care about here, huh?" The 'um' sounded like a rhetorical question, making the doting in his eyes deeper and deeper.

There was a sarcastic smile on her lips. The so-called concern in his mouth was whether it was a person or a power. She couldn't tell, and she was too lazy to tell clearly.

He possessed her and dropped a soft kiss on her ear, then said to her with a smile, "If you want to go out so much, then tonight, I'll accompany you out for a walk... okay?"

Yan Kui was stunned for a moment, and blinked at the person in front of him with a little disbelief on his face. He smiled faintly and stroked her hair, "During the Lantern Festival night, Jin Wu couldn't help it, can't I remember weakly?"

Yan Kui's eyes dimmed, he closed his eyes and turned his head to stop looking at him. Now, with flags fluttering on the high walls, dust billowing outside the city, an army of 100,000 besieging the city, the royal palace nobles are trembling with fear. The country is about to die, but the people of this country are still thinking about how to celebrate the Lantern Festival. It is really sad and ridiculous. Bai Yi seemed to see her sigh, and stopped talking, just sat on the side with her head lowered, letting the hair on her forehead cover her gloomy eyes.

Zhuo Xiaolou took the blanket and walked over to put it on for Pun Kui, but just as he leaned down, Pun Kui suddenly sat up, opened her hand, looked at Bai Yi with interest, and asked him a little angry and a little embarrassed: "You said you took me out tonight, but don't go back!"

Bai Yi stared at the somewhat childish face in front of him for a while, and after a while, he smiled, put his hand on her hair, and said to her with a smile, "Okay, I don't regret it."

The lantern festival in Chang'an is very beautiful, and the craftsmanship passed down several times by the old craftsmen is more and more outstanding in the city with a long history.

Bai Yi has been interested in a white rabbit's lantern for a long time. The little rabbit is very cute, with big eyes and a small nose, which reminds him of the red-eyed girl who always cried in his memory. He smiled involuntarily, he finally bought it, and when he looked sideways, the joy on his face slowly cooled down, becoming a little confused and puzzled.

The girl's slender fingers slowly slid across the pile of jewelry, as if she was thinking about which talent and desire, but after looking at it for a long time, she slowly shook her head, retracted her hand, and cast her eyes into the distance. Zhuo Xiaolou picked up a jeweled hairpin, glanced at it, and held it in front of her, "This one is pretty good, and the jade on it is not fake." Hearing what she said, Yan Kui glanced coldly and said, Covering his mouth and nose with his hands, he deliberately pretended to be disgusted, and said with disdain, "Hurry up and take it away, this kind of jade is not as valuable as the stones in my fish tank, how dare I wear it on my head? Hey... this kind of stall There is still no way to compare the goods with Baoluoji." After that, he turned his head impatiently, and saw Bai Yi's slightly startled appearance. She moved over, holding a delicate folding fan in one hand, and pressing the other hand under her elbow, like a lady, "General Bai, I heard that Yujingxiang has some new dishes recently, and it happened that A Kui returned If you haven’t eaten, why don’t you go there and taste it?” Yujingxiang is the most expensive restaurant in the capital, and the people who come and go are princes and nobles. The cost of ordinary dishes alone is enough for ordinary people for many months, but she said in her mouth. When he came out, it was as if he was inviting him to a homely meal. Bai Yi was silent, then nodded with a light smile: "Okay."

Mui Kui smiled, pulled Zhuo Xiaolou lightly and wanted to go, but inadvertently saw the paper lantern in his hand, raised his eyes and laughed casually: "General is very interesting, but this lamp is made rough. Very, open fire hurts people, let's throw it away."

In my memory, a girl smiled at him with a dilapidated lantern with a white rabbit painted on it. In my memory, a girl cried sadly while guarding the ashes of the burning lantern. At that time, Yao Su was weak, didn't understand fame, fortune, and power and money. She didn't have a good eye for appreciating jade, and she didn't care whether the food was delicious or not. I couldn't see the girl's smile.

He regained his senses from his memory, and she was no longer around. He found her drifting away in the crowd, but panicked, regardless of whether her clothes were neat or not, he hurriedly ran after her and reached out to hold her.

Mu Kui was pulled to a stagger, turned his head and glared at him, and then wanted to withdraw his hand, but he was caught tightly in his big palm. Bai Yi looked at her, his eyes were hot and sad, his voice was hoarse, trembling as if he was afraid of something, "Weak, don't go too fast, I'm afraid I'll lose you."

The crowd is crowded, coming and going, going back and forth, only them, standing quietly in the sea of people. Huan Kui lowered his eyes, feeling the scorching temperature in his hands, and came back to his senses for a while. She stubbornly pulled out her hand and held her other hand tightly, as if she was afraid of being held by him again, but she smiled politely in her mouth: "General Bai is joking, Ah Kui has lived in Chang'an for many years, right? The streets and alleys here are very familiar, how could they be lost." After a pause, she turned around and said lightly, "General Bai, hurry up, Yujingxiang will be closed later."

He was helpless, hiding the uneasiness in his eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Weak, you can call me special."

Yan Kui tilted her head: "Shu... General?" She saw the light in his eyes dimmed, and felt very amused, she waved her hand and said, "General, don't be embarrassed, Ah Kui, how dare Ah Kui shout out the name of the general," General Bai' will be fine."

Knowing his stubbornness, Bai Yi stared at her silently for a long time, then suddenly laughed at himself, returning to his usual suave and unrestrained appearance, and said lightly, "Okay."
