Chapter Seventy-Eight: Lend Me the Hands of the Clouds to Pick the Stars for You

Who doesn't want to be drenched! Knowing the truth in the world is hard to buy.

The Tao is the most bitter infatuation, and I am afraid that the obsession will come again.

Today's victory and defeat are unpredictable in the will of heaven to distinguish black and white.

In the high mountains, rivers, seas and clouds, who can guess the rise and fall of honor and disgrace?

Jianzhang Palace is relatively high in the entire Weiyang Imperial City complex. The vestibule is open and the air is fresh. This is also the reason why the emperor gave this wonderful place to the favored Mrs. Wei in the first place.

Of course, compared to the first few halls that are raised one layer at a time, the scale is far inferior. But in this harem, it is the best place.

At this moment, in the twilight, Princess Suxi of Li'an was lying by the wooden window, quietly looking at the shadows of the rockery trees near and far, the lights were turning off, and she was in a daze.

The small clay bottle in his hand has been held for a long time, the palm is warm, and the fingertips are slightly cold.

The night was getting dark, but she didn't want to close the window and go in. The night sky that looks like this deep palace has been with her for eleven years, how long can she watch it after tomorrow?

She has never been too reluctant to use the perfume water in the small bottle, but she is very satisfied with the occasional unplug and smell. I know that my sister Yunxi also likes it, but I never thought of sharing this thing with others. Perhaps, it should be left to her.

Su Xi was thinking about it, when he suddenly noticed a black shadow flashing by the window, and a faint shadow stood on the railing outside the window. She was taken aback and was about to shout, but she heard a low "huh", as if she didn't expect someone to lie quietly in the dark shadows of the night.

Su Xi's voice was a little familiar, and he was shocked in his heart.

"Yuan ...... Brother Yuan, is that you? ”

"Oh, why are you here? Hehe. "Sure enough, it's Yuan Zhao.

He...... It's dark, how did he get here? What does he want to do? Su Xi suddenly felt a little flustered, and her heart was pounding.

Both of them lowered their voices to speak, lest they be discovered by the guards not far away.

"Don't think about it! I just have time now, and I want to quietly put something for you by the window and leave. I didn't expect ...... You're lying right here. ”

"Something? What...... What are you going to give me? Su Xi was nervous for a while and didn't come back to his senses.

"I'll go back from the palace tomorrow, and I may not have time to come over, so, na! This is the birthday present promised to you that day, and it will be given to you in advance! ”

Borrowing the light and shadow of the palace lamp in the distance, Su Xi saw him take out a long object wrapped in a silk towel from behind his waist and hand it over through the window lattice.

"Ahh You—Do you really remember? I...... Thank you! Su Xi received it in her hand, held it tightly, and felt the silkiness of the silk, just like her current mood.

"You...... How did you get here? It's so high! Only then did she remember that her room was on the third floor of this side hall, about seven or eight feet high from the ground, and she couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"You don't have to worry about this, okay Suxi, the things have been given to you, I'm going back." After Yuan Zhao finished speaking, he turned around and was about to disappear into the night.

"Wait! Don't go. Su Xi didn't know what was wrong with her, and suddenly she had an impulse in her heart.

"Well, what's the matter?" Yuan Zhao turned his head and looked at her indifferently.

Su Xi felt a fever on her face, and it was very hot, although the night was very dark, she felt that Yuan Zhao on the other side seemed to be able to see through herself, and the courage she had just mustered was a little insufficient, and she suddenly became timid again.

But...... Thinking of the rumors she had secretly heard, and the future that fate was about to impose on her, she bit her lip and calmed down.

"Brother Yuan, tonight I want to go out and take a good look at Chang'an City and see this sky! Can you help me out?"

The shadow outside the window didn't move or speak.

"I know, such a request is extravagant, right? However, since I was a child, I have been living in this palace for so many years, and I have been cared for by my mother, just like a bird in a birdcage made of gold wire, and I have never been free to fly for a day......! ”

Speaking of this, her voice trembled a little, her heart that had never been open to anyone, those grievances, those happiness who deliberately pretended to know nothing for fear of worrying her mother and siblings, she just wanted to find someone to talk to.

Su Xi didn't notice that the hearts of the listeners had gradually swelled up. This moment of waiting has been as gentle as I am. People are not plants and trees are affectionate, and this body meets the city by mistake!

"I don't know what will happen after tomorrow! However, I really want to be free to look at this starry sky, even if it is only for half a night...... I want to ...... in my dreams. ”

Speaking of which, Su Xi's voice was almost inaudible, thinking that he knew that this matter was like a dream, and it was impossible to realize, it was just a momentary obsession!

"Good! I'll take you out, wherever you want. ”

Like a spark suddenly shining in the darkness, the light pierced the confusion in front of him! Princess Suxi, who was about to celebrate her eleventh birthday, raised her head in surprise, and the people outside the window were standing there, behind her was the ghost of the layers of palaces and the endless ...... of the distant sky.

When Su Xi changed her clothes and climbed out of the window, Yuan Zhao found that this was exactly the same set she wore when she sneaked to Fan Xue Lou last time. It seems that some of this little girl's ambition has been premeditated for a long time.

"That's it! How do we get there? Do you want to use the gold medal that your ancestors gave you to enter and exit the palace? Su Xi's bright eyes shone like stars.

"What a hassle that is! Besides, the palace gate is closed, and they won't let us out. She saw a mysterious smile on his face as he approached.

"Come, move forward a little, lie on my back, and close your eyes."

Su Xi was stunned, but didn't think much about it, and carefully moved his body out of the narrow window railing, and put his hands on his shoulders.

She had grown so big, and had never been so close to a stranger, her face was red and her heart was pounding, and she was a little flustered.

"Don't be afraid, we have to hurry up in a moment, we can get out soon." As if feeling the stiffness of her body, Yuan Zhao whispered and whispered in her ear. Unexpectedly, feeling the warm breath in his ears and neck, Su Xi's heart became even more flustered, and he only put his hand tightly around his neck, his head was behind his back, and he didn't dare to say a word.

Yuan Zhao hurriedly earned it, so that he was more comfortable. Chick! You're trying to strangle me!

Su Xi was shy, and suddenly his feet were empty, and he felt his body rise into the air, and he was about to say an exclamation, but he hurriedly held back.

And in a certain dark shadow not far from here, seeing this scene, the two palace guards who had been lying dormant for a long time were surprised! Just as they were about to warn them, a hand gently pressed them from behind.

After signaling these two palace masters not to make a noise, the old eunuch named Xiuyu quietly followed the figure that flashed like a civet cat at the top of the palace, and the surprise in his heart was even greater than that of the two juniors.

After a moment's effort, the faint figure had disappeared, only the glazed tiles shimmered with the faint light of the night, and the cornices of the corners of the hall were still the same, as if it was just an illusion just now.

"Xiu Lao, this ...... There is such a light body kung fu in the world! Who is this person? ”

Putting aside his identity as the chief manager of Changle Palace, Xiuyu is the oldest senior in Xifengwei, and he has mentioned most of the juniors, so all these secret guard masters are respectful to him.

He ...... It's the newly sealed Changle Hou. Unexpectedly, he still has such a ability! Sure enough, the ancestor's vision is never wrong. Well, in the future, this person is in the palace, as long as there is no particularly out-of-the-ordinary behavior, you don't have to be so strict with him. Xiuyu commanded in a faint tone.

The two men looked at each other, shocked in their hearts, bowed their heads to accept the order, showed understanding, and then went to themselves.

"Boy, it seems that you still have a lot of secrets! In the future, it is inevitable that you will have to talk more in the ears of your ancestors, and it is good to force you to contribute a little more to share the worries of your ancestors. It's just that...... Seeing that you are a lover, after all, you are soft-hearted, but you only know that you see the little princess pitiful, so you can easily take her out of the palace, but you picked up a hot potato yourself! It's up to you to see how you are...... Alas! ”

The old eunuch muttered to himself, some faint likes, and some silent sighs, vicissitudes of life, endless smoke, dissipated in the corners of the palace.......

Yuan Zhao had actually discovered the two hidden guards lurking a long time ago, but he didn't care. It's just to take this little girl in a bad mood out for a ride, what's the big deal?

What's more, whether in his previous life or in this life, he is an iron-blooded and tender person. Opponents can be ruthless and killing. encounters the affection of children and the warmth of the world, but always pays more sincerely.

Ever since he listened to what the little boy Liu Ju said about harmony, Yuan Zhao's heart has always been a little uncomfortable, and even has a faint resentment. This is not to say that he has any thoughts about Su Xi, and it has nothing to do with the identity of the princess.

It is a kind of affection for a group of people of the same clan, the same root, and the same bloodline! Although separated by thousands of years, it has never changed.

"How can a wife be a big deal, the hero is helpless and amorous!" It is a man's duty to resist foreign humiliation and resist the enemy, and his wife and children should be protected and cherished, how can he succumb to a strong enemy? Let it be humiliated!

Even Liu Che, the emperor of the Han Dynasty who is written in the annals of history with his wisdom and martial arts, does he need to endure the temporary humiliation now, offer his own daughter with both hands, and let him be buried in the desert grassland and the cold wind?!

Tomorrow, Yuan Zhao doesn't want to see that bright and flawless face again, in that way, he will feel the cruelty of this world! So, he came tonight, just for the promise he had promised.

A small birthday present, hopefully it can bring her a little happiness, it's the only thing that can be done for her, right? He originally just wanted to quietly put it by Su Xi's window, and she would see it when she opened the window tomorrow morning, right?

However, nothing was what he expected! Princess Lean, who had just been canonized, was here helplessly watching the night sky...... She told him about her frustration...... She wants to go to Chang'an City to enjoy a night of freedom...... She wants to have a dream hero to take her to make a dream come true!

So, on this dull night, he took her through half of Weiyang Palace and half of Chang'an City......!

When I finally came to the highest point of the imperial city, at the top of the bell tower, I looked up and saw the sky full of stars, dotted with the sky. Looking down on the vast earth, it is full of red dust. The woman named Su Xi lay quietly behind the man, already in tears!

If not?

The world is singing, the splendid is in full bloom,

Tactful and gentle.

If not?

This heart is happy, at first sight,

Flowing water and falling flowers are as they were at the beginning.

If not?

Mo is on the wind, a thousand twists and turns,

Plain hands should write sad and joyful sentences.

If it's not like a dream?

Streamer phantom, ecstasy

It's hard to return to the twilight of independence!
