[Excerpt from the article]
The garden was dark at night, and even in the moonlight, it was extremely difficult to see the stone paths inside.
Pei Zhao stopped: "It's heavy inside, don't go in, how about we draw it?" ”
Cui Heng looked at the candlestick in her hand and asked with a smile, "Who picked it up just now and was in a hurry to go out?" ”
Pei Zhao had no choice but to continue walking inside.
As the steps undulated, the candle flame flickered continuously. The shadow was reflected on the stone road, and it swayed with it. After a while, the shadow didn't move.
But until the two of them walked out of the garden, they didn't see any purple flowers.
Across the garden, is the lake. The surface of the lake is clear and shimmering in the moonlight.
Pei Zhao leaned on the gan and asked, "Look, it's still a draw." I walked for a while in vain. ”
"It's not a draw. The king knows that there is a place where there will be purple peonies. ”
"You're really-" Pei Zhao didn't continue, and when she turned her face sideways, she realized that Cui Heng was so close, and the sleeves of the two of them were almost folded together. She asked, "Is it in the side hall?" Study? Dormitory? ”
Cui Heng did not have a trace of abnormal expression and denied all the answers.
"Here in Lingnan, I'm afraid it's hard to get purple peonies. Your Highness won't be placed in someone else's place, right? ”
Cui Heng smiled and just said, "Yes, it's not the season for peonies." ”
The reflection of the two of them floated on the sparkling surface of the lake, and a little swaying red light.
It's the candle flame in your hand.
Cui Heng blew lightly, and the fire was extinguished, so only the silver-white moonlight shone on him.
"What do you do?"
"It's the lake breeze."
After coming out of the hall, Cui Heng was extremely eccentric, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Does Your Highness want to say something?" ”
Cui Heng looked at the center of the lake quietly, and the moonlight illuminated his long eyelashes. But after waiting for a long time, he didn't speak.
The soft wind swept across her cheeks, and the broken hair floated to her eyes, obscuring her vision, so she wrapped her long hair around her fingers. Circle after circle, release circle after circle, and when it was repeated to the third round, I finally heard him speak: "You sing "Tianbao" again, and I will tell you where the purple peony is. ”
"I want to hear the last paragraph." He said again.
Pei Zhao didn't refuse, and snorted softly again.
"Are you drunk again?" Pei Zhao asked tentatively, "How much is this?" ”
A thin crimson appeared on his pale face, probably because of Wan Hu Chun.
"It's seven." Cui Heng pressed her hand down than the number, "There are some ghosts, but I am not drunk to that point." You've also drunk a lot, so why don't you get drunk. ”
“…… I drink tea. Pei Zhao couldn't laugh or cry.
He was silent for a moment. The whole person leaned on the trunk, his face was ruddy, and his eyes were misty.
"Shall we sit in the pavilion for a while?"
The pavilion was still some distance away, and Pei Zhao asked as he walked, "Then what should they do?" ”
Cui Heng staggered and held on to Yan Gan: "Who?" ”
"Your Highness, have you forgotten that we are halfway through the game of Chase Color." Pei Zhao raised his face to look at him, and sure enough, there was a blank in his black eyes, "The amount of wine is so bad, and you still drink so much." ”
He shook his head, then looked at her intently, his eyes misty: "Do you think I really drank too much?" ”
Pei Zhao couldn't help laughing. Nine times out of ten, a drunk person will say something like this, saying, "There is a way to test whether a person is really drunk." Would Your Highness want to try it? ”
Cui Heng nodded.
"Your Highness, please close your eyes."
Pei Zhao knew that there was a folk saying: After a drunk person closes his eyes, he can't immediately find the tip of his nose.
The moonlight flowed on Cui Heng's eyebrows, plated with a bright streamer.
"Touch your nose."
His fingers on the trunk moved slightly, as if hesitating. After a long time, he said, "Say one more thing." ”
Pei Zhao was a little puzzled, but still said, "What do you say?" ”
There was a flash of silver in front of him, and then a chill on the bridge of his nose.
Cui Heng gently scratched her nose, with a misty smile in her eyes: "Can you show now that this king is not drunk?" ”
Pei Zhao brushed his hand away with a stiff expression and looked at his dark eyes: "You are indeed drunk." I'm letting you touch yourself. ”
In the distance, there are spots of light,
The maidservant came over with a lamp and asked, "When His Royal Highness was away, Shen Jiazaburo and Lou Jiedu drank a lot of wine and wanted to go back to the guest room to rest. So, King Qi asked how long it would take for His Highness to go back. ”
Cui Heng shook his head: "Don't go back." You arrange for them to stay overnight in the palace. ”
The maidservant agreed and was about to retire, but Pei Zhao stopped her and said, "Trouble the girl to call Commander Wei to send His Highness back." ”
"This king can go by himself." Cui Heng raised his chin, "The dormitory is not far away, you accompany me." ”
"Today I am a guest. How can there be a reason for guests to send their hosts. ”
"It's my birthday." His tone was tough, "Don't refuse." ”
Pei Zhao sighed and re-lit the candlestick with the lantern: "Let's go." ”
In the rich night, the faint smell of wine and floral fragrance are mixed together, and the fragrance is a little intoxicating. As he walked, Cui Heng lowered his eyes, as if he had been looking at the stone path.
The stone path was swept clean, could it be that he was looking at the carvings of birds and beasts?
Suddenly, Cui Heng stopped and looked up at her.
Pei Zhao asked, "What's beautiful on the ground?" ”
"I'm looking at the shadows." He took the candlestick.
Under the interlacing of moonlight and candlelight, the shadows on the ground appeared.
"The two of them were walking, but because of the flickering fire, the shadow seemed to be doing something else." He shook the candlestick in his hand, "Do you think like this, like you're whispering?" ”
His voice was soft, and it fell to his ears as if he were whispering.
The figures on the stone bricks are overlapped, like ears and temples. Pei Zhao paused, took the candlestick, shook his head and said, "It's not like." ”
There are several people standing at the entrance of the garden in front of them with palace lanterns, and the leader is Wei Ying.
Wei Ying walked over, handed over a cloak embroidered with animal patterns, and said, "Your Highness is more deeply exposed, pay attention to your body." ”
The night in late autumn was supposed to be cold, but perhaps because of drinking, Cui Heng didn't feel cold all the way, and put it on for the people next to him without thinking about it. Pei Zhao's whole person froze, and when she came back to her senses, the button on her neck had been fastened, and she wanted to untie it, but her hand was gently pressed again.
Cui Heng leaned down, leaned in front of her and asked, "Aren't you cold?" ”
Pei Zhao raised his eyes and lowered his eyes. A faint smell of wine lingered on the tip of her nose, burning her cheeks.
"If it's not cold, wear it too." Cui Heng smiled and straightened up, "It's not early, I'll stay in the palace tonight." ”
The face of the person in front of him was red, and he was as bright as a pearl.
The heartbeat quickens in silence.
Pei Zhao hesitated for a while, nodded, and said softly: "Birthday Jile." ”
As if he hadn't heard, he didn't answer, and after a while, he laughed softly: "You too." …… Birthday Jile. ”
After separating outside the dormitory, Pei Zhao followed the maidservant to the guest room, and when he removed his makeup in the mirror, he found that his face was flushed, and the bridge of his nose seemed to have been soaked in warm water. It wasn't until I took a shower and changed my clothes that the heat on my face faded slightly.
Moonlight poured into the house through the thin paper windows, leaving a pool of silver on the stone bricks.
When the curtain was drawn, it was pitch black on the couch. But for some reason, even though I drank a lot of tea at night, the sleepiness quickly crept in. Then, there was a feeling of drunkenness.
There was a rustling sound in the room, as if someone was lifting the curtain.
Someone came in?
But my eyelids felt like they were glued, and I couldn't open them.
Perhaps, is it a dream?
Lou Qingyan sat on the edge of the couch and looked at the young man sitting not far away, looking hesitant.
Lou Shuangxin said: "Just do what I ask." Let's ask. ”
The jade bell in the girl's hand swayed, and the sound of the jingling bell was extremely terrifying in the quiet room.
The man on the couch opened his eyes slightly, but his eyes were hollow, as if he had been drugged.
"Offended." Lou Qingyan said softly, "Your real name is Yuan Xi?" Answer 'yes' or 'no'. ”
“…… No. ”
Lou Qingyan's eyelashes moved slightly, and he looked at Lou Shuangxin, but he looked expected.
"When did Brother suspect that something was wrong with her?"
"I bumped into her by chance in the palace that day, and for some reason, I had a strange feeling." Lou Shuangxin's voice was low, "Tonight, listen to the tune she hums, and you know where the strangeness is." ”
"There's a problem with "Tianbao"?"
"Yes. "Tianbao" is a popular song in Beijing ten years ago, but according to her text, it should have been in Wuzhou before. ”
"But......" Lou Qingyan frowned slightly, "Your Highness should also be aware of it." ”
"That's exactly the problem." Lou Shuangxin smiled coldly, "I asked Yun Hui about this that day, but he asked me not to interfere. ”
Lou Qingyan was silent.
When Cui Longyu ordered Cui Heng to go north, all the military generals in the DPRK and China knew that they would definitely die in this battle, and no one was willing to lead the troops. Only General Lou and Lou Suiyuan volunteered to ask.
Lou Suiyuan said: "His Royal Highness the Seventh has a backbone, and sooner or later he will become a dragon and a phoenix among people." ”
Lou Shuangxin, who was quite arrogant, sneered: "Is it so powerful? Spring hunting he is either the first from the bottom or the second from the bottom. ”
Lou Suiyuan said with a smile: "If Xin'er is not convinced, you can compare with him." ”
Lou Shuangxin was not to be outdone: "Then please ask my father to ask for orders for me and let me go north together." ”
Although Lou Qingyan didn't know what happened on the day of the war with Chiluo Kingdom, he also guessed a thing or two from Lou Shuangxin's performance after returning to Beijing - he was not as arrogant as in the past, as if he had lost the game.
"Ask the next question." Lou Shuangxin saw her wandering, and his tone was a little displeased.
Lou Qingyan returned to her thoughts and continued: "You are close to King Jin, do you have other plans? ”
"Yes."
"Instructed by someone?"
"It's not."
If no one directs her, it means that she is for herself.
But what is her true identity? Why is Cui Heng reluctant to reveal it to her brother?
Just as he was thinking about it, a black shadow fell on the couch, and Lou Shuangxin had already walked over, and said coldly: "Are you from the Lanling Xiao family?" ”
Although Empress Dowager Xiao is ruthless, she and Cui Heng are mother and son after all, and he guesses that Cui Heng does not want him to interfere, which is also the reason.
The answer is "no".
It's kind of weird.
Lou Shuangxin asked all the families in Beijing, but they were all denied.
The young man frowned, and the frost in his eyes condensed: "You are Your Majesty's person?" ”
Still vetoed.
"Brother, there is another one, you forgot to ask." Lou Qingyan was silent for a while, and said in a low voice, "Although according to common sense, he is no longer alive. ”
Lou Shuangxin was slightly stunned: "Hedong." You are a member of the Pei clan in Hedong! Pei...... What's it called? ”
Lou Qingyan said: "Princess Pei Yun of Qi has a younger sister named Pei Zhao. ”
Pei Zhao's long eyelashes moved slightly, as if he was about to wake up. Lou Qingyan hurriedly pulled the curtain.
It's the sound of rustling again.
Pei Zhao pinched his eyebrows, stood up, and a ray of moonlight fell on the futon through the gap in the curtain.
Her heart fluttered.
Before going to sleep, the curtain was drawn tightly.
It seems that the voice that seems to be there is not a dream, and someone has indeed come.
Pei Zhao took out the dagger under the pillow and listened intently to the surrounding sounds. But he didn't hear anything but his own rapid breathing.
When the curtain was lifted, the room was empty in the shadowy light.
She asked the maidservant outside the door, "Has anyone been here?" ”
The maid shook her head sleepily: "The slave has been guarding here, what's wrong?" ”
"Take me to Your Highness."
Obviously, she didn't expect someone to suddenly appear at this hour, Wei Ying looked at her in surprise: "What's wrong?" ”
"I've had people in my house."
Wei Ying was stunned, and then glanced at the guards on the side: "Go to Dongyuan to see if there are any suspicious people, don't disturb the guests over there." Then Wei Ying walked into the hall, and when he came out, he said, "Your Highness let the girl in." ”
The candles in the hall were dim, and there was a faint fragrance of medicine. Cui Heng was wearing a white bedgown, and her hair was scattered over her shoulders, as if she was ready to sleep. He held a piece of letter paper in his hand and said, "Miss Pei, come and read this." ”
It was a congratulatory gift she had prepared.
Pei Zhao was silent for a long time, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Your Highness doesn't know how to read?" ”
"Recognize words." Cui Heng smiled, "But after drinking, you can't see clearly, you read it again." ”
Pei Zhao said: "Your Highness, I have something serious to say. Someone entered—"
"The king knows who it is." Cui Heng interrupted, "Dongyuan is heavily guarded, outsiders can't enter, it must be a guest of Dongyuan." There are only seven or eight in total, so rule it out a little. After reading this, this king will tell you. ”
"Can't you really see clearly?" Pei Zhaohu asked suspiciously.
"There will be double images in the words, and it is very tiring to read." Cui Heng said, "Since you are so reluctant, why did you send it up again?" ”
"There is no reluctance, but it is one thing to write, and it is another to read."
The handwriting on the letter paper is beautiful and regular, and it is because it has been copied back and forth three times.
Seeing that Cui Heng was still intently waiting for her to continue, Pei Zhao had no choice but to cough lightly and said, "'In the eighteenth year of Jiaping, Lantern Festival, Liu Se and I came to the lotus pond in Dongshi ......."
Looking at the two or three lines behind, Pei Zhao sighed: "It's not too late for Your Highness to look at it tomorrow morning." ”
Cui Heng took the letter again, concentrating on the words on it, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't recognize anything except a "lover": "Lover?" Miss Pei, how old were you then? ”
"Taken out of context." Pei Zhao grabbed the letter back and continued to read, "'The lotus lantern floated in front of us, was gently blown by the night wind, and ran aground on the stone steps. I tried to straighten it and put it back in the pool, but ......'" she paused.
Outside the isolated veil, a figure emerged.
Cui Heng's expression remained unchanged.
"Come in. Double Letter. ”
Lou Shuangxin lifted the veil and walked in, took off his wide robe, sat down opposite the desk, looked at Pei Zhao coldly, and said, "Miss Pei is also there." Yun Hui, some things might as well be clear. ”
Pei Zhao immediately understood that Lou Shuangxin was the one who broke in at night.
Only, how did he know his identity?
The man's cold gaze moved down and landed on the gold-sprinkled letter in her hand: "What are you looking at?" ”
Cui Heng folded the letter paper and put it back in the envelope: "It's the king's private matter." ”
Lou Shuangxin was silent for a long time, and sneered: "You and I are like brothers." Yun Hui has never said anything 'private'. ”
"Hmm. There really shouldn't be any personal matters. Cui Heng smiled faintly, "But-Lou Shuangxin, what are you doing?" ”
The envelope under the paperweight was snatched away, and Lou Shuangxin retreated sharply, standing ten paces away.
He looked back indifferently: "What's inside?" ”
The wine dissipated, and a touch of coldness flashed in Cui Heng's eyes. But he then said: "To call it a 'private matter' is related to the future princess." If it is a government, this king will not hide it from you. - However, if you are really interested, you can also open it up. ”
Lou Shuangxin didn't seem to appreciate it, but he sat down with his robe again, and slapped the envelope on the table: "Cui Yunhui, don't lead the wolf into the room." ”
Pei Zhao sneered, he was angry with himself, and she could also go back with yin and yang: "If Lou Jiedu has anything to say, you might as well say it directly." Why be a thief and visit late at night. What does Your Highness think? ”
Cui Heng was silent for a moment and said: "Lou Jiedu, breaking into other people's bedrooms late at night, is rude, and he should indeed apologize." ”
Lou Shuangxin was stunned, a little incredulous.
He rarely holds an official title for himself.
After coming back to his senses, he sneered: "Since Yun Hui thinks, then it's okay for me to apologize." Miss Pei, I'm sorry. - Cui Yunhui, what do you mean? ”
In his stunned gaze, the young man folded his hands and saluted.
Cui Heng said: "This king knows your kindness, but Miss Pei can be trusted." ”
Needles can be heard in the hall.
The three of them had their own thoughts, and they were silent in unison.
Pei Zhao's heart fluctuated like a tide, and after a long time, he calmed down and sorted out his thoughts.
Lou Shuangxin said that Cui Heng helped her, which was to lure the wolf into the house, and the implication was: Wenzong Cui Longyu chose Cui Heng as an abandoned son, which was the result of consultation with his father.
After all, Father had instructed earlier: "The Seventh Highness is not a thing in the pool, if you want to assist Cui Jun, you should get rid of him earlier." ”
Thinking about it, I was a little upset.
Footsteps sounded outside the tent, and the maidservant brought a food plate with a box of pastries and a pot of tea on it.
After the pastry box was opened, a burst of fragrance overflowed, with a hint of sweetness in the fragrance, familiar and unfamiliar.
It's Poria snowflakes.
"Not many people here do this. This king searched for a long time before he found a master surnamed Liu. Cui Heng said casually, raising his hand to pour the decanting tea into the cup, "You...... Two of you and try it. ”
Pei Zhao looked at him quietly, and his breath stagnated for a moment.
"Your Highness, I'll be with you."
Pei Zhao lifted the curtain and walked out, and went to the room to wash his face. Then, he stopped in front of the bronze mirror for a moment and put his hair back in a bun.
On the other side, Lou Shuangxin shoved a snowflake into his mouth.
Although the taste of Poria snowflakes is light, after swallowing, the mouth will remain fragrant, and the whole person will be refreshed.
His former annoyance was much gone.
Lou Shuangxin said: "It tastes good." - By the way, doesn't Yun Hui dislike sweets? ”
Cui Heng smiled: "Didn't this king eat it?" ”
"And why are you—what, you chose it for her?" Lou Shuangxin put down the jade chopstick, and suddenly felt that the snowflakes were tasteless and a pity to abandon them, "Cui Yunhui, the position of Princess Jin is vacant, is it also for her?" You're a guy with a broken brain? ”
"I haven't seen you for half a year, but you've changed a lot." Cui Heng hooked his lips slightly, and mocked him to the fullest, "It's like reading a script and seeing a bad brain." ”
"Isn't it nice to give you what I sent you?" Lou Shuangxin gritted his teeth and shot back, "You obviously have seen a lot." ”
When Pei Zhao walked back, he happened to hear this.
It turned out that those scripts were originally written by Lou Shuangxin.
For some reason, I was a little disappointed.
On the desk is a plate of intact Poria snowflakes.
"Miss Pei will come back later, and she will be eaten by Shuangxin." He said.
Pei Zhao lowered her head and took a bite, the gaze that came was like obsidian, so thick that it was dizzying, after she swallowed, she raised her eyelashes and looked back, but Cui Heng avoided her gaze and said lightly: "I also drank tea, I also ate sweets, and I talked about some serious things with the two of you." ”
He took out two thin books from the drawer: "This is the beginning and end of the Dongye case that this king has found, I don't know if there is a deviation from your memory." ”
The whole booklet takes time as the title of each chapter, starting with Yang Dai's order to go to Yongzhou and ending with Cui Yu's accession to the throne.
There are many things that are not recorded by the government.
Pei Zhao looked at it for a while, and his eyes fell on a column of red letters: "...... Buried in the northwest of the suburbs of Beijing in the snow ridge, there are three monuments. ”
It turned out that someone had buried her family.
“…… But if the case is overturned, at most the people from the criminal department will be replaced. When he came back to his senses, Lou Shuangxin's mocking voice sounded in his ears, "Besides, Wenzong chose you to go north, obviously it was the wind in Pei Cheng's ears......
"So what." Cui Heng said flatly, "If it weren't for the north, this king would not be where he is today." Besides, how do you know that you will only replace the people in the criminal department. ”
"What's the problem?" Seeing her look up, Cui Heng asked again.
"Why did His Highness record the day A-Niang came to Yongzhou as the beginning of the Dongye case?"
That's not the beginning.
It's just that he had always regretted that on that day, there were some words that were not spoken.
