Yan Cigui

Chapter 1 A bad hand

 The flames soared into the sky.

Lin Yunyan fell to the ground and saw a mess everywhere she looked.

The burning sensation in the air made her breathless, and the scalding wind enveloped her, as if her hair would be on fire in the next moment.

 Escape!

 Where is the door?

The thick smoke was billowing, causing Lin Yunyan to burst into tears. She couldn't wipe them away, so she could only open her eyes wide and try to discern the direction.

 Then, she saw Xu Jian lying not far away.

"Xu..." As soon as Lin Yunyan opened her mouth, she was choked and coughed.

 Xu Jian, however, remained motionless.

 Suddenly, Lin Yunyan realized that Xu Jian had fainted.

　Memories from the previous moment also rushed into my mind.

At that time, she and Xu Jian were checking the place. Suddenly, without warning, the roof collapsed.

 Xu Jian's quick eyesight and hands pushed Lin Yunyan away who was unable to react, and all the tiles fell on him.

Although Lin Yunyan was away from the center of the collapse, she was also affected and fell into a coma for a while. When she concentrated again, she was in this situation now.

She was like this, let alone Xu Jian who was hit hard.

Xu Jian must be rescued!

Holding back the scorching heat, Lin Yunyan pulled at the broken tiles on Xu Jian's body.

 The more she licked, the heavier her heart sank.

　　A pulse could still be felt on Xu Jian's neck, but there was no sign of him waking up.

What's even worse is that Xu Jian fell out of the wheelchair when she was pushed earlier. The wheelchair rolled over and was pinned underneath by the overturned tables and chairs.

Without a wheelchair, how was she going to move the unconscious Xu Jian out of the house?

Even if Xu Jian wakes up, he can't walk, let alone like this...

 Leaving Xu Jian behind and escaping alone should be the best choice at the moment.

Lin Yunyan knew, but she couldn't do it.

She and Xu Jian were like grasshoppers on the same rope. If Xu Jian was missing, she, Lin Yunyan, would not be able to live beyond the first day of junior high school, but not the fifteenth day.

 It is even very possible that the murderer is still waiting outside.

This house collapsed for no reason, and it could be said to be "in disrepair." But after it collapsed, it caught fire. How could it be that there was no human effort?

 The purpose of the murderer is to let her and Xu Jian die here!

Thinking of this, a sense of resentment surged up, filling my heart instantly.

It’s a pity that the two of them tried their best but still fell short. The truth has to be covered up again and cannot be revealed to the light!

The tiles scratched her fingers and palms, which were **** and her thoughts became blurry. Lin Yunyan used her last strength to dig and move.

 Death is definitely going to happen, at least let Xu Jian die easier.

 His legs are broken and he cannot eat well.

How uncomfortable it is to be pressed down by such heavy rubble...

These sins and pains cannot be allowed to those bastards. They really, really will die with their eyes open!

 Sounds came from all directions, deafening.

　That is, cicada chirping?

 Why do you hear cicadas chirping?

Lin Yunyan suddenly opened her eyes, and what she saw was a vast expanse of white light.

 She was startled for a moment, and she realized that it was sunlight. The midsummer afternoon sunlight filtered in through the window lattice, making the hall extremely bright.

 And she was leaning on the Arhat bed under the window.

“Princess, what’s wrong with you?”

Lin Yunyan looked at the sound and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong with me?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the maid's expression changed from timid to frightened.

Lin Yunyan frowned, how could Wan Yue be so young?

 Something is wrong!

 She was busy and observing her surroundings.

　　The shelf is full of exquisite ornaments, the flowers in the vase are in bud, and a childlike scroll hangs on the wall, which was her masterpiece when she was a child.

 Every scene and thing is exactly as it is in memory.

 This is clearly the west side hall of Cining Palace!

In her early years, she often went to the palace to accompany the empress dowager. When the empress needed to avoid something, she would be asked to come here to take a rest.

But since the death of the Queen Mother, she has never been here again. The young Wan Yue, the side hall that I have not been to for many years, and the fire that burned so hard that there was no way to escape...

An idea came up that was so shocking that Lin Yunyan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

“You,” Wan Yue asked tentatively, “are you suffering from a nightmare?”

Lin Yunyan's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Are you having a nightmare?

It was really a nightmare, long and depressing, intertwined with countless calculations, betrayals, overt and covert attacks.

Her family was ruined, and Xu Jian was desperate. In the past few years, she and Xu Jian had a **** head-to-head collision. The glimmer of hope she tried to hold on to in her hands eventually turned into grief, anger, pain, and despair in the fire, with billowing smoke and hot flames baring their teeth and claws. They laughed at their overestimation.

　Gory and vivid!

So that when I suddenly woke up from the dream and returned to the bright side hall, thinking of that experience, the bright sunlight could not illuminate the haze in my heart.

They were all there, reminding her that even a dream was real and heart-wrenching.

If it cannot be reversed, she will go to that situation again and bear all the pain unforgettable.

People cannot fall in the same pit a second time.

Not only will she not fall down, she will also kick the person who dug the hole down, so that those who started the hole will have a taste of it with their own money!

Looking at the cautious moon, Lin Yunyan said: "I'm having a nightmare. I'm not afraid. What are you afraid of?"

 Wan Yue was asked.

　　That seems to be the case.

 However, the princess's appearance really frightened her.

The princess was closing her eyes to rest her mind, but she suddenly opened her eyes, with a gloomy and angry look in her eyes, as if she wanted to fight someone desperately.

Her princess has a pair of beautiful eyes. Who wouldn't say that her eyes are smiling, twinkling and can talk.

 When did these beautiful eyes have such a sinister look?

 “This slave is timid.” Wan Yue said timidly.

Lin Yunyan smiled when she heard this.

The Wanyue she knew was loyal and tenacious. Just these two points were worth thousands of people.

What’s the point of being timid?

 “Courage is a thing that gets stronger with practice.” Lin Yunyan said.

 After all, who hasn’t come here like this?

The footsteps came from far and near, and stopped outside the curtain.

"Princess, the concubine is here. The queen mother please come over."

Lin Yunyan responded, but did not rush out. Instead, she went inside and sat down in front of the dressing mirror.

The girl in the mirror is in her prime, with bright eyes and white teeth, picturesque eyebrows, and beads in her hair, swaying gently with her movements.

 She wore a girl's hair, and it must have been 13 years ago in Yongjia.

 Because in the spring of the thirteenth year, she married Xu Jian and combed her hair like a woman.

 That was twelve years, or eleven years?

Looking at Wan Yue who was arranging her hair, Lin Yunyan thought to herself: If the Empress Dowager hadn't been waiting, she would have asked carefully.

However, no matter what year it is, no matter what the situation is, she must live well.

Since it was difficult to keep the Queen Mother waiting for a long time, Lin Yunyan went to the main hall.

As soon as she entered the inner hall, she saw several people sitting at the square table.

On the rosewood and bone-inlaid Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea table, which the Empress Dowager loved very much, there was a horse tag. She, Concubine Wen and Grandma Wang were sitting around it, all looking at her happily.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry," the Queen Mother waved, "Three are missing and one is waiting for you."

Yes.

 Lin Yunyan spent most of her time accompanying the Empress Dowager.

 After sitting down, throw the dice, grab the cards and set up the cards.

Lin Yunyan:…

 A bad hand.

The sky is angry and people are angry.

Twisted the card with her fingertips, Lin Yunyan rolled her eyes.

  No matter how bad the cards were, she had to straighten them out step by step.

 Her new life started with such a pile of cards.
