At night, big sister ordered Cai 'er to call me to watch the New Year, and Li Shang prepared a large white cloak for me. Inside Huixuan Pavilion, the smell of sandalwood wafted in the air. I knelt on the mat, my head in a daze, while big sister remained kneeling straight, unable to see any changes.
I wanted to say something, but I held it back. I raised my head and looked at the tall mahogany beam. There were all kinds of totem labels on it, and the big red candle was still burning silently. It reminded me of the woman who sang in the Jade Screen Residence that day. She was also miserable. The sound of the hourglass was in my ears, and time passed bit by bit in my imagination.
The night was dreary, and I could feel a chill. Suddenly, there was a dark figure in front of me. I looked sideways and saw that my sister still had her eyes closed. I didn't dare to look back, so I gently closed my eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, I felt that the figure behind me was no longer there. I quietly opened my eyes and turned around to see that his highness was carefully sizing me up. I quickly turned my head guiltily. However, that gaze was still on his back. It was like the poisonous sun in July, burning people.
The clock at midnight finally rang out loudly, and Cai 'er and Li Shang had already entered. Cai' er hurriedly helped her sister up, and Li Shang also came over to help me up,"It's getting late, Qin Hua, you should go back and rest early."”Sister seemed to be very tired and turned to walk into the inner room, but I was surprised.
There was nothing I could do. Sister's indifference made me a little afraid. At this moment, I realized that my brother-in-law was no longer there." Is His Highness here?”Li Shang and I were on the way back. The cold wind blew and I shivered." No, His Highness is accompanying the Emperor and a few men today."”" Oh, could it be an illusion? But why does this illusion feel so real?"
I stopped talking and quickened my pace. However, I saw a familiar figure not far away. The man came back to his senses and gave Li Shang a look. Li Shang quietly retreated.
I walked over slowly without saying a word." Are you cold?”The prince's tone suddenly became gentle, as if he was talking to a rare item.
I lowered my head and didn't dare to reply, because he was always so dignified in my heart and never smiled.
"Stay away from Xuan Li." I looked at him in disbelief. His tone suddenly became calm." Rest well and don't be too sad.”With that, he turned around and left.
Sad. Did everyone know? I felt a little uneasy. I stood alone in the corridor. The moonlight hit my face like ice. Suddenly, I collapsed to the ground.
When I woke up, I didn't know what time it was. Beside me was Li Shang, who was already asleep. I moved, and Li Shang was awakened by me." Miss, you're finally awake. En, fortunately, your fever has finally subsided. You scared this servant to death."”Li Shang touched my head with her ice-cold hand and said happily.
"What about me?" I opened my mouth and realized that I was making an extremely unpleasant sound. My throat was broken. I grinned.
"Young miss is still smiling, but this servant was scared to death. Last night this servant went back and found young miss lying in the corridor.”
"Oh," I replied as if I hadn't heard anything."Your Highness has entered the palace?"”I looked out of the window. It was probably already seven in the morning.
"En, I went. It's just that Young Lady's body isn't feeling well. I'll return to the emperor and wait for Young Lady to recover before going.”
Oh, I still replied listlessly.
Using the excuse of being sick, she deliberately dragged herself onto the bed. In fact, it was mostly because she did not know what else she could do.
"Miss." Li Shang suddenly rushed in nervously." What's wrong?"”I narrowed my eyes and didn't get up." He, he's here."”" What?" Li Shang said vaguely. I had already gotten up from the bed.”Li Shang took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and stuffed it into my hands. The words "Plum Garden" were clearly written on it. I could barely say a word.”He roared at the top of his lungs.
Without waiting for Li Shang to reply, I had already put on my clothes and rushed out, leaving Li Shang standing there in a daze.
It was still in time, everything was still in time. I ran out, but at this moment, snowflakes suddenly flew everywhere, scattering randomly on my face. I couldn't care less about the surprise of the servant girls and the coachmen as I ran. The cold wind was like a merciless knife, giving me wounds one by one. My throat was incomparably uncomfortable, and there was the taste of blood in my mouth. My heartbeat also accelerated irregularly.
Finally, behind the fake mountain, as soon as they entered the plum garden, a familiar figure entered their sight. It was the same dark purple color, the same firm back, and his black hair danced in the wind, carrying snowflakes and plum blossoms. It was very beautiful.
I flew over, no longer caring about the so-called red tape. I hugged him heavily from behind, as if he would be like this snowflake, flying and melting if I let go.
"I'll take you away." This was the most beautiful promise I had ever heard in this world. I almost agreed to it, but when I thought of my sister's beautiful face and the Murta family that I had never met before, he suddenly let go of me and looked straight at me. Suddenly, his cold lips pressed down heavily. I held my breath, but my heart was extremely uncomfortable. I gently pushed him away and turned around to not look at him anymore. His cold breath was still lingering on the corner of my mouth. I wiped my lips with my hand with reluctance.
"Heh, I was too naive." He suddenly pulled away from me and looked up at the sky." Is it enough to sit on that golden dragon throne?"”
I was almost shocked. Such disgraceful words were actually said for me. I wanted to deny it loudly. I wanted to say that it wasn't me, but my throat was in intense pain.
Finally, there was the back view of someone waving his sleeves and leaving without any warning. I was left alone in the thick snow. Snow continued to fall from the sky, covering me deeply. I wanted to just lie there and gradually lose consciousness. I only saw the sky suddenly turn red and dazzling.
"He's gone. He's really gone from my world. Many years later, I still think back to that day. If I had agreed, would the outcome be better? Would there be happiness? Would there be…"
But there are no ifs, and my life is destined to have no redemption. So what's the meaning of that if?
