"Miss! Miss..." After a series of repeated questions, there was no response. Moxiang just thought she had been wronged outside and hurriedly followed her. However, when she saw the phoenix pattern on her face, she was stunned. .
"What, doesn't it look good?" Su Li asked calmly without raising her head.
Mo Xiang immediately shook her head, unable to hide her surprise and joy, and waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, Miss, the painting is very beautiful. This phoenix is a perfect match for Miss! Where did Miss learn from it?"
Mo Xiang asked curiously, Su Li didn't know this at all in the past.
Su Li's eyes flickered and she didn't answer. She looked at the phoenix pattern in the mirror, slightly lost in thought. Not long ago, she also drew this pattern in front of the mirror to match "Phoenix Flying".
Phoenix in flight…
Su Li's eyes suddenly moved. She stood up and dug out a beautiful dance dress from the pile of things she bought in the afternoon. The silk dress was as thin as smoke and was held tightly by her white and slender fingers.
Not a word was spoken.
Mo Xiang asked in confusion: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Nothing happened?"
"No." Su Li finally let go of the long skirt, handed it to Mo Xiang and said, "Keep this dance dress well and wear it when you enter the palace."
"Ah?" Mo Xiang was surprised. She was very surprised when she bought this dress during the day, "Miss wears this when entering the palace? But... Miss can't dance!"
Su Li can't dance, but Li Su can. The most beautiful woman in Kyoto not only has a good-looking face, but is also proficient in poetry and songs, and her dancing skills are unparalleled in the world.
"Don't worry about it, just put it away
. "Su Li ordered lightly, turned around and returned to her seat, her cold eyes reflected in the mirror were shining brightly. Perhaps, she should seize this opportunity better. As long as she can enter the palace, she not only has to ask the imperial doctor the question from last time. , there must be other gains.
The mystery of Li Su's case is extraordinary. With her current status and status, she is weak and weak. It is difficult to find out the unjust case. Even if it is found out, it may not be able to clear up the injustice. Therefore, if there is an opportunity, she must seize it.
Mo Xiang put away her dance clothes and said with an unintentional smile: "Miss, I had a very scary time at the market today, but luckily I was fine. Guess who I bumped into when I came back?"
Su Li also calmed down and asked casually: "Who?"
Mo Xiang smiled and said: "Miss Li, she left in a hurry and said she was going to ask for a doctor. Miss, do you know that the regent seems to be ill!"
Father is sick? ! Su Li's heart tightened, and she stood up involuntarily, and asked calmly: "Are you seriously ill?"
Mo Xiang shook her head: "How could I know this? I've just been sick for several days and haven't recovered. I've been seen by several doctors."
Su Li lowered her eyes, feeling infinite bitterness suddenly well up in her heart. She sat back quietly and stopped talking for a long time.
The night was as cool as water, and the small courtyard was quiet and peaceful. Su Li lay on her bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, and not in the mood to practice. Although her father's actions made her disappointed and sad, she still couldn't help but feel worried and sad when she heard that her father was ill. Every time she remembered her father's love and care for her in the past, her heart always hurt like needles. To this day, she still can't believe that her father would be so cruel to her!
Suddenly she turned over and sat up, put on a black dress, put on a black veil, and quietly jumped out of the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion with her hair disheveled.
The Prince Regent's Mansion was quieter than usual. She knew every detail of the defenses. Carefully avoiding the night guards, she came to the wall of her father's bedroom.
In the courtyard, two women stood. The person in front of her is in her thirties, with a beautiful face, a plump figure, and the elegance and charm of a mature woman. It was the regent's side concubine Yu Linglong, and behind her was Li Yao who looked worried.
Su Li paused and glanced into the room through the open window. She saw that the lights were on but no one was there.
"Mom, don't wait any longer, go back to sleep." Li Yao advised softly.
But Yu Linglong shook her head: "Wait a little longer, maybe your father will come back soon."
. "
Li Yao was slightly startled and couldn't help but sigh: "It's true, dad is still sick and has to go to Lancang River."
Yu Linglong sighed, stroking her daughter's black hair, her voice was a little heavy, "Your sister is dead, and the princess is also gone. The prince himself is sad."
Li Yao hesitated to speak, but just let out a long sigh. The mother and daughter were relatively speechless, with a look of sadness on their faces.
Lancang River? ! Su Li's heart was moved. Could it be that his father had already realized that his death was in vain, so he was secretly investigating? After quietly leaving the Regent's Palace, Su Li ran straight towards the Lancang River.
The Lancang River at night is silent and deserted. The surface of the river is as calm as a mirror. Occasionally, a few peach blossoms fall in the wind and drift with the current.
Su Li slowed down her pace along the riverside path. At the end of the path was the place where she was killed. I have never had a chance to see if the killer left any traces or clues? The only thing she remembered was that the man used a sword in his left hand and that she had stabbed him with a gold hairpin.
The closer she got, the more she seemed to feel the fear and despair she felt when facing death that day, the suffocating pain that made her panic involuntarily whenever she saw large tracts of water. Her steps toward the shore became hesitant and slower.
Su Li closed her eyes slightly. No, at this point, there was nothing she couldn't face. Especially for such a fatal weakness, she must learn to overcome it and then find a way to defeat it.
With her mind determined, she walked much faster, turned around the peach blossom forest, and her destination was in front of her. But at this time, her steps suddenly stopped.
There are people on the shore ahead.
He has a majestic figure and his clothes are flying. He stood there quietly, like a high mountain, motionless but full of loneliness.
Su Li only glanced at it, quickly dodged and hid behind a big tree. Just listen to the attendant behind the man whispering: "Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time to go back to the house. You... are still sick!"
Su Li recognized this voice as Yan Zhao, his father's personal guard. So... the figure in the back is really her father? !
"Alas!" A long sigh, filled with sadness and helplessness, reached Su Li's ears. She felt heartbroken and couldn't help herself.
Li Fengxian took one last look at the calm river water, and finally turned around and left.
. The footsteps were slow and clear, and Su Li subconsciously held her breath until Li Fengxian's lonely figure completely disappeared from her sight. She was still breathless with sadness. Father! It's not really heartless!
Walking out of the woods, she came to the place where Li Fengxian was standing just now. This was exactly where she fell into the lake. Standing here, she could close her eyes and see herself struggling desperately in the cold lake water. She has not forgotten the despair, unwillingness, and strong hatred at all, they are all buried deep in her heart.
When he opened his eyes, there was peace in front of him.
Su Li stood up straight, and there was a voice in her heart that kept shouting, I want revenge, I want revenge! The most important thing now is to enter the palace! She can't give up any chance to find out the truth!
Slowly stretching her body, she began to recall the unique dance "Phoenix Flying". That dance was originally prepared to be presented to the emperor and empress as a greeting gift for the daughter-in-law after the wedding. Now, she wants to use this dance to create a big lie. Having made up her mind, Su Li started dancing by the river to see if this body could perform the "Phoenix Flying" dance.
Probably because of the martial arts training during this period, there is no problem with general movements, but it is a bit jerky. It should be better if you practice it a few times. But there is one movement, but nothing works. After all, she had not practiced dancing since she was a child, so the flexibility of her body was far inferior to her previous one. She kept trying again and again, and finally fell to the ground.
On the opposite bank is an inn where she once stayed. At this moment, a few lights are reflected on the river, dotted with the lonely night.
There seemed to be a figure in front of the window, but it was too far away to see clearly.
Suddenly, the window of the inn was opened.
The wind blew in, and the black hair of the man standing in front of the window was lifted up. He squinted his eyes and stared at the unclear figure on the other side.
Sometimes he would fall down, sometimes he would get up, repeating the same action over and over again. There was no beauty at all, but he could not take his eyes off it.
