In the battle against neighboring country, the Zhuo Yan were just as effective. Despite having all the advantages of timing, location, and people, neighboring country suffered a crushing defeat.
As the victorious army returned, the radiant empress greeted them ten miles outside the city.
I squeezed through the crowd holding the hand of Zhuo Yan to watch the excitement. After the officials in red and purple robes, the empress in a crimson robe was seated on the grand carriage, wearing a jade crown on her head. Leaning gracefully on the couch, her beauty far surpassed mine.
She smiled and lifted the veil to glance at the subjects along the road. When she saw Zhuo Yan, she visibly paused, and I instinctively turned my body to shield Zhuo Yan.
I walked out of the crowd in a daze, looking at him with his usual expression. I grabbed his hand, slowly tightened my grip, and stopped walking. He also stopped and turned to look at me, saying, "Xiao Xiao, what's wrong?"
I sniffled and looked up at him, saying, " Xiao Tau is mine, and no one can take it away. Even if Xiao Tau doesn't believe me, I still want to say that I really like Xiao Tau."
He calmly reached out and patted my head, and that evening the empress arrived at the inn.
The empress stepped out of the golden carriage and walked up the stairs. Zhuo Yan sat under the lamp as usual, reading a book. The empress bowed and called out, "Master."
I only took a glance and was then pulled downstairs by the eunuch. After a while, empress came out holding his arm, behaving intimately.
As she passed by me, empress asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
The eunuch behind me poked my spine and said in a deep voice in my ear, "Kneel down."
I panicked to kneel down, but the Zhuo Yan promptly supported me and said to the empress, "Why scare her?"
Then he said to me, "Wait for me for two days, I will be back."
out of the door.
The pedestrians are leaving in a steady stream, leaving me standing alone in the inn. I hesitated for a long time, and in the end, I waited until midnight, but he still didn't come back.
I quickly packed my bags, went downstairs, and called over a yawning waiter to immediately hail a carriage to take me back to Lin'an.
The shop assistant approached with a smirk on his face and said, "Why did the lady come alone? Where is the young master? Isn't the lady going to wait for the young master to arrive before leaving?"
I shouted, "Wait for what! Have you ever seen a chicken paying New Year's respects to a weasel and coming back?"
"Don't want to wait for me anymore?"
Suddenly, a Zhuo Yan voice came from outside the building, and I was startled to see him when I turned around.
He walked in wearing the crimson robe he had on before, with a lotus jade crown on his head, a gentle smile on his lips, and a pair of smiling eyes. His wide sleeves carried the flying flowers from outside the building. As he approached, he opened his palm to reveal a newly bloomed white peach blossom.
"This is the most beautiful flower in the imperial garden. I just picked it and brought it back to give to you, my dear."
Zhuo Yan I spend my days in the inn reading, occasionally visiting the palace to see the empress.
I wandered through the capital alone for most of the day, returning each night to read under the lamp. He would lean against the window, dressed in a crimson robe that resembled a cloud at sunset.
Half a month passed without much happening, but I heard that the group of human traffickers had become even more rampant after escaping. father started urging me to return to Lin'an, and even my cousin came to Kyoto. I ran into my cousin on the bustling streets of Kyoto while trying to avoid the rain, and after being persuaded by him repeatedly, I finally understood the seriousness of the situation.
I looked at my cousin and said, "Wait for me to bring Zhuo Yan and we'll return to Lin'an together."
Who knew that when I returned to the inn, I didn't see the shadow of Zhuo Yan. On the cool tea cup on the table, there was only a broken lotus jade crown. On the paper next to it, it was written neatly, "City South Forest."
I sent the shopkeeper to inform empress and my cousin, and then hurried to the south of the city. The drizzle turned into a heavy rain, and the muddy road was difficult to walk at night. Suddenly, I saw a torch ahead and quickly urged the horse forward.
Before I could react, a sudden arrow shot into the horse's hoof. The horse neighed and I fell off, rolling into a net just as lightning and thunder struck. Suddenly, several people appeared, their curved knives reflecting the cold light.
My heart trembled as I asked in a deep voice, "Where is Zhuo Yan?"
The leader said nothing, he pinched my chin and forced a pill into my mouth.
In the bright white lightning, I suddenly realized that the person in front of me was the human trafficker who had robbed me in Lin'an.
That person gave a malicious smile and shot an arrow straight into my heart. I cried out in pain and still held onto his sleeve, asking, "Where is Zhuo Yan?"
The person did not answer, pushed me away, and then led a group of people away.
The rain was falling gently, and I stumbled as I chased after it. The scene in front of me became increasingly blurry, and there was a quietness all around.
My head felt like it was being twisted by a venomous insect, and I fell to the ground, watching the torches flicker hazily.
When the person holding the torch approached, I realized it was Zhuo Yan. He fell off his horse and held me in his arms. I had never seen him in such a panic before. His jade crown was crooked, and his crimson robe was covered in mud, making it impossible to see its original color.
I reached out to adjust his jade crown and discovered my hands were covered in blood. He held me on the horse, repeating that he needed to find a doctor. I tugged at his robe and whispered, "It's too late, I don't have much time left. I just want to know if you like me or not. Lie to me if you have to, just this once."
"Ai Ai likes white peach blossom, you call me Xiao Tau, I say my last name is Bai, you ask if I like you."
The pain in my heart intensified, as if a poisonous insect was gnawing at it. In my mind, all the past events began to vividly unfold, and then slowly faded away and disappeared.
He was babbling on about something, and I struggled to keep my eyes open, gradually losing track of what he was saying. The bright lightning in my eyes slowly disappeared.
I instinctively held him tightly as the cool rain accompanied by the evening breeze blew past. A sense of weariness washed over me, and I finally drifted into a deep sleep.
Is it possible that when I wake up from this dream, I will be your bride?
