On the fourth day of Pei Lin's absence, I missed him.

"What are you writing?"

Xiaocui poked her head over, and Bai Yan hurriedly covered it, but she still saw it.

"Oh~ On the fourth day after you are no longer here, I miss you."

Bai Yan blushed, lying on the table and covering her face hard, "Xiao Cui! You are really getting more and more naughty, and you are less and less afraid of me, aren't you?"

Xiaocui snickered and muttered, "I have been following the queen since I was a child, so I am not afraid of the queen at all."

Bai Yan snorted and stopped worrying. She folded the piece of paper and put it in a small box along with the ones from the previous three days.

Pei Lin was away, and Song Yuanming only came back once. Most of the time he had to pretend in Yuchun Pavilion.

They all said it would be soon, but she was so bored and could only wait for him blankly every day.

"I want to drink water, go and get some."

"yes."

Xiao Cui went down with the teapot and poured some hot water, while Bai Yan sat on the bed with her feet up.

From a distance, she saw a woman's figure walking towards her through the window. When she got closer, she saw clearly that it was Xu Yi.

They have never had any contact with each other, so why is she here?

Bai Yan sat up straight in confusion, "Sister Xu."

Xu Yi had very gentle eyebrows, and her smile was watery and swaying. Bai Yan had always had a good impression of her.

In addition, she was the only one who came to visit her last time she had a false miscarriage. She felt that Xu Yi might be a close friend in the Song Dynasty, just like Sister Xi.

"Bring some sweet wine to Madam. Can you try it, Madam?"

"Okay," Bai Yan smiled and patted the seat next to her, "Sister Xu, don't call me that, just call me Nannan."

Xu Yi smiled slightly and responded, "Nanny."

She poured the sweet wine into a small cup and handed it to Bai Yan. The pink wine swayed in the cup, exuding a sweet and attractive floral aroma.

It's not spicy at all, but rather sour, sweet and refreshing.

Bai Yan couldn't help but trembled all over and smacked her lips a few times, "It tastes really good. Did Sister Xu brew it herself?"

"I didn't learn this craft. My family brewed it."

Xu Yi seemed a little embarrassed and smiled, pouring her another glass, "If it tastes good, drink more. It will make you less likely to get drunk and keep your health."

"Yeah, it tastes good."

Bai Yan was tasting the fine wine in the cup when Xiao Cui pushed open the door. There was a little sweat on her forehead, looking so anxious and panicked.

Seeing someone else in the room, Xiao Cui swallowed the word empress on her lips.

"Madam, you, your water, slave..."

Bai Yan put down the cup, and Xu Yi also put it down. Their eyes met inexplicably across the cup. Xu Yi smiled first, "It's not hot outside, how did you end up like this? Where did you come back from?"

She asked Xiao Cui familiarly, and Bai Yan smiled helplessly and shook her head, "I asked her to get me some water an hour ago. If it weren't for Sister Xu, you would have made me thirsty to death."

Xu Yi covered his mouth and chuckled. Xiao Cui touched his nose and laughed, and continued the conversation.

The two sat and chatted all afternoon. To their surprise, Xu Yi did not ask her about her origins and origins, seeming to deliberately avoid the topic.

Bai Yan didn't think much about it, maybe it was politeness for a gentle person, and she thought it would be embarrassing to mention her not-so-good background.

Xu Yi sat down until the sun set before leaving. When she was far away, Bai Yan put away her smile and said, "What do you want to say this afternoon?"

Xiaocui is not a careless person, and it must be a big deal to make her panic like this.

"Mother, my lord's identity seems to have been exposed."

"What?!"

Bai Yan frowned fiercely.

"When I went to fetch water, I heard someone commenting that His Highness the Fourth came back this morning and was taken into the palace by His Majesty himself."

If this is the case, it must be their plan. Bai Yan stabilized her mind and shook her hand, "It's okay, it's probably his idea. There's been no news from the He family for so many days. They must want to force her."

She can't get any news from sitting here, and has to rely on people talking about it.

Even though she comforted Xiaocui that everything was fine, Bai Yan still couldn't help but worry. Considering He's disgust for him, she probably wanted to get rid of him soon, but she also told herself that Pei Lin was unmatched in strength, so nothing would happen.

Xu Yi came to sit with her every now and then in the past few days, and Bai Yan smiled and chatted with her like a normal person.

She knew that no matter how much pain she felt in her heart, she had to smile on her face.

Previous lessons taught her not to trust anyone casually.

During the rainy season, it rained every day, and it lasted all afternoon. It was groggy outside, so Bai Yan sat by the window and sighed.

It’s the thirteenth day.

Yesterday Song Yuanming came back, reporting that he was safe and bringing news. Today they are going to work with His Majesty to close the door and hunt down all the dogs.

Counting the time, it was almost time. The sun was setting outside, reflecting the blood-red sunset. Bai Yan clenched her hands and prayed.

"What is my sister thinking?"

Xu Yi was wearing a bright red robe today, with bright red roses showing off on the hem of her skirt that was trailing to the ground. Each flower was outlined with gold edges and seemed to reflect the light.

Bai Yan casually interrupted, and Xu Yi didn't ask any more questions. He sat at the table and kept pouring wine for himself and her.

"Madam!" Xiaocui pushed the door open and came in. "If you feel uncomfortable seeing the fragrance, please go over and have a look."

"Ha, what are you asking my sister to see? Go and find a doctor quickly."

The look on Xiaocui's face was wrong, and Bai Yan understood, "I don't know, sister, but this little girl Jianxiang is so attached to me that she won't even take the medicine when others go there. She is the one who has followed me all the way in the family, and I regard her as my biological sister.

, I’ll come as soon as I go, sister, please sit down for a while.”

Xu Yi didn't try to hold her back anymore. As soon as Bai Yan went out, Xiaocui grabbed her sleeve and pulled her forward.

"What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty," Xiaocui turned around and nodded heavily, her tearful eyes bright and moving, lighting up the dark sky, "It's done, Your Majesty, news has come from the palace. He has deliberately assassinated Your Majesty and has been arrested and put in prison.

."

"Really?!"

Bai Yan didn't dare to shout, so she covered her mouth and her tears couldn't stop falling.

He could really, really be done with it.

"My lord should be back tomorrow."

"No," Bai Yan shook her head with a smile, "He will definitely come back tonight."

She knew Pei Lin, and he missed her just as she missed him.

He will definitely come back tonight!

Thinking of her wiping the tears on her face, she was ready to go back and quickly send Xu Yi away, and then go to his bamboo courtyard to wait for him.

She had already thought about it. She must hide it under the quilt and wait for him to lift it up to surprise him. He would definitely like this surprise.

She finally stopped her tears, took a few deep breaths and pushed the door in.

"Jianxiang, this little girl had a stomachache after eating bad food this afternoon. She is complaining that it hurts. I will have to coax her to take medicine later. My sister is not as good as..."

"Today's sweet wine is particularly sweet. I wonder if it's because it's been stored for a shorter period of time." Xu Yi twirled his fingers and turned around with a confused look on his face, "What did my sister just say?"

Bai Yan opened her mouth and was about to speak when she took her hand and pulled her to the table, "Seeing that my sister likes sweet wine, I specially asked someone to buy cakes for my sister. I guess they are all to your liking."

The pastries on the table were just brought by Xu Yi. Bai Yan put away part of her smile as she looked at them. She didn't dare to eat them.

Who knows what she did after being gone for so long.

"I ate too much for dinner and now I have no appetite. How about having a drink with my sister tomorrow?"

"What's on your mind, sister? She seems to be chasing me away."

Xu Yi looked sad and sad that his good intentions had been betrayed, and he wiped away his tears sincerely, "His Highness said that my sister is young and asked me to take care of her more. I also feel that my sister is the same as my own sister, so she is causing so much trouble. My sister is like this

What does it mean?"

As she spoke, she grabbed the pastries on the table and took a bite one by one. She drank two more glasses of wine angrily and poured them on again, "How about it, sister, don't worry now!"

With red eyes, she smacked the cup heavily on the table, and Bai Yan sighed when she heard a clatter.

"I didn't mean that. Sister Xu misunderstood."

She looked like I won't leave until you eat her.

Bai Yan thought about it and finally picked up a pastry and put it in her mouth. The soft pastry was extremely oily and sweet but not greasy.

Since she dares to eat, there shouldn't be any problem. Plus, she won't have the chance to have any evil thoughts in the house all the time, and he won't hinder her in anything.

Xu Yi came closer with an expectant look on his face, "Does it taste good?"

"Well, thank you sister."

"Come on, Xiao Cui has a taste too. My sister's people are my people, so I'll bring some to them too."

Xiaocui responded and took out the cake.

"I want to say a few words of sympathy to my sister. After all, we are the same people."

Bai Yan didn't understand what it meant to be the same person, so Xu Yi picked up the wine glass, touched it with her, and drank two glasses of wine.

Bai Yan had no choice but to drink two glasses of wine.

After finishing the drink, she suddenly laughed and smashed the cup in her hand. Bai Yan frowned fiercely and felt that something was wrong with her. She was in a crazy state.

"Aren't my sister and I the same? We are both pitiful."

Is it because she doesn't want to marry Song Yuanming? Bai Yan is a little confused. She didn't hear that she was forcibly married into the house by Song Yuanming.

As she spoke, she spit out blood from her mouth. Bai Yan screamed and stood up, stumbling back a few steps. Suddenly her legs became weak and she couldn't stand, and her lips and hands were covered with blood.

"you.......?!"

Xu Yi still smiled and pointed to the small candle on the corner of the table, which was emitting faint gray smoke. She would not have noticed it if she didn't point it out.

"Sister, stop being busy, it's useless. You and I will go to hell together today, so we have a companion."

The raised hand trembled slightly, Bai Yan struggled to crawl forward and tried to extinguish the candle, but she still fell to the ground exhausted.

"Why, it's obvious that I have no enmity or grudge against you?"

"Yes, you and I have no grievances, but our men do. Nannan, I am from His Highness the Crown Prince."

Xu Yi smiled and lay on the table, looking sideways at her. She was unable to straighten up, blood poured out of her mouth, and her body was shaking like a dehydrated fish.

Bai Yan was stunned for a long time when she continued.

"I followed His Highness the Crown Prince when I was ten years old. At that time, I thought it would be fine just to look at His Highness from a distance. Later, His Highness sent me to Yuchun Pavilion. I have served countless people in four years, but I don't complain. I can do it for you.

He shares the sorrow and is the supreme glory.”

Her eyes were burning, brightening and dimming for a moment, "Then I came to Song Yuanming's place, and this idiot thought I liked him. I kept an eye on him for His Highness for another six years."

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Hahahaha, His Highness wants to give Song Yuanming a gift, and he also wants to give Song Yuanxi a big gift. He wants him to understand what it means to lose the most important thing in this life."

"Xu Yi, you are crazy! He is gone, why should you sacrifice your life for him?"

"If there is no antidote, save it."

Bai Yan covered her mouth and couldn't help but bend over and cough out black blood. She closed her eyes tightly, knowing that it was too late to say anything now.

The poisonous smoke has been burning here for a whole day, and only a small section is left, and there is no way to save it.

At this moment, all she could think about was that he must not come back now, don't come back, celebrate the hard-won victory, and at least spend the day happily.

Xu Yi's eyes were bloodshot, he stared at Bai Yan's face and murmured the last sentence, "I, I am, the Crown Princess of the East Palace."

She ate more than she did, and spent a lot of time inhaling poisonous smoke in the room, and she couldn't hold on any longer.

Bai Yan could still barely hold on to her strength and tried to hold herself up and climb up onto the floor. Lying on the table, she couldn't help but gasp, as if someone was strangling her neck, and her body was shaking with each breath.

She was scared, but she was even more worried.

On the table are the words I just wrote today.

On the thirteenth day when Pei Lin was away, I missed him.

She laughed with tears in her eyes and touched his name with her hand.

Tears stained the paper along with blood drops, and she hurriedly picked up the pen, fearing that she would not have time.

Pei Lin, maybe I broke my promise this time and I can't wait for you anymore.

sorry.

I don’t even know what to write when I pick up my pen. We seem to have already said those boring love words.

Do you still remember the letter you wrote to me before? If you want to hate me, it’s better to have faith than in the tide. When you miss me, you will realize that the sea is not deep.

We are even, you left me once and I left you once.

Just like you said that year, I don't want to see you so early, so live well, okay?

Take my share with you, live a good life, don't come to see me so early, I will annoy you.

Please live with my thoughts alive, the only thing I worry about is you. Don't let me worry, you have to be well.

Dog, I love you so much and I really want to be with you forever.

Tears turned into pen and ink, my vision blurred into a blur, and my hands trembled.

Bai Yan took a deep breath and wanted to write the words "I love you" again, but the words were like a dog crawling, and she wanted to laugh inappropriately.

He will recognize it.

Holding the bright white magnolia hairpin in her hand, she saw them in a trance that year.

This is fate, it goes round and round, no one can escape it.

In the end, what she held in her hands was really something he had given her, and he was the one she was really waiting for.

The rain outside could be heard hitting the roof beams, dripping down.

The letter in her hand fell, and the last moment she closed her eyes, she heard the sound of his horse's hooves, so brisk, so urgent, so close...
