Chapter 68 Who knew Yimeng was Hua Xu

Walking forward, the ancient path is secluded with moss, twined with vines and kudzu, green and floating smoke, and the dense forest in front blocks the road. It seems that there is no way to go left and right.I can only see the faint green hills standing in front of my eyes, and a few big stones standing beside the road, wrapped in layers of moss, as if hiding many unknown secrets. Qiu Xi held my hand and said in a low voice: "Madam, let's go back first, I think this place is very desolate, smog is lingering, and the sun seems to be dimmer than outside." I raised my eyebrows and smiled: "I like this kind of place, as if it carries a kind of desolation from another world, I am willing to walk in the wilderness with no way, and feel the loss of no direction."

Qiu Xi looked at me with deep and far-reaching eyes, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, since the first time I saw your maidservant, I can feel that you have an extraordinary aura." I smiled lightly: "Qiu Xi, you don't know my life experience. If you knew, you wouldn't say that. Sometimes people and things that are too ordinary feel complicated. Complicated people and things feel simple and ordinary. " Qiu Xi smiled: "I have been in the palace for many years, and I have seen countless people. I always have a lot of special feelings about people and things. I believe in my own feelings." Her eyes seemed to contain a lot of experience. I am older, and I remember that she also has an aunt who knows divination. She once divination for me and seems to know a lot of things.I still remember that Mother Hu told me that I had to stay away from the palace so that I could avoid nightmares and blood, otherwise there would be a catastrophe.The words are still in my ears, but I don't want to think about them, and Chu Yu's words, when I went to Cuimei Temple, he didn't want me to go back to the palace.To save a person is to destroy a person. I don't want others' salvation, I want self-salvation.

I raised my eyebrows stubbornly and looked at the emptiness in front of me, trying to find a way for myself. The thorns were overgrown, as if they were blocked by layers.Whenever this happens, I always think of some artistic concepts related to Zen. I am just a tiny dust lost in the world, unwilling to fall, and erratic. Qiu Xi looked at the front in bewilderment: "Your Majesty, it seems that there is a road here, but it seems that there is no road. Mingyue Villa is really big, and I don't know where we have come." I pushed aside the vines beside me, and said with a smile, "I would like to see what is hidden here. I always have a feeling that both Mingyue Villa and Zijin City have covered up many secrets."

"What more secrets can there be? The secrets of the harem since ancient times are just..." Qiu Xi hesitated to speak. She had stayed in the harem for too long, and she seemed to see everything too clearly. I laughed and said: "It's just some wronged souls. In fact, it's the same everywhere. There are many wronged souls in many corners of the world, but there are more gatherings in the harem. Zijin City is like this, I believe. But Mingyue Mountain Villa is a summer resort, so it can be regarded as a It is the emperor's palace, and the time I have been here is very short, so it is not easy to die here unjustly."

"Niang Niang, would you be afraid to say this in this barren place?" Qiu Xi asked me with a smile. I was puzzled and said: "Afraid? The world is clear, the day is long, I am not afraid, and I have no shame in my heart, no shame in others, what am I afraid of?" "Well said, the sky is bright and the day is long, what's so scary." A male voice shouted, and I saw a white figure, like a white fox that suddenly jumped out of the silent mountains. I exclaimed: "Ah, who?" Qiuxi hurriedly supported me and held my hand tightly, her face also looked very flustered.

"Haha, I just said I'm not afraid, how can I be so scared." The white clothes came out from the tangled vines, I vaguely saw his shadow, and I recognized the voice. After taking a breath of relief, he shouted: "My lord, why are you hiding here to scare people, it's so embarrassing." He walked towards me, dressed in white, with bright eyes and handsome eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang also said that you hide here to scare people." With an innocent look on my face, I pretended to be annoyed and said, "It's a secluded place, but if you suddenly make such a loud noise, can you not be afraid?"

He laughed loudly: "Xiao Wang just sat here and meditated, and saw a figure approaching. Isn't this king afraid of such a desolate place?" I was puzzled and asked: "How did the prince find this place to meditate?" I thought to myself, he couldn't have followed me here, otherwise why would it be such a coincidence that this place can be encountered. "My lord is still wondering how Mei Jieyu came here." He retorted. "I, I just walked around randomly, I came here without a purpose, so there was no reason." I tried my best to argue, but the fact was just like that.I asked back, "Then how about you, my lord?"

He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Xiao Wang is here to find something." "What are you looking for?" He looked at me in surprise: "Are you curious?" "No, just a random question." "That's good. Xiao Wang has always liked mountains, rivers, wind and moon, poems and rhythms. There is another point that no one must tell you. Xiao Wang also likes to explore history, search for some lost traces, and pick up fragments of the past." He said with a smile on his face. The mystery, as if there is really some secret hidden here. I asked curiously: "Oh, did the prince discover some interesting secrets hidden in Mingyue Villa?"

"Interesting?" He looked at me puzzled. I laughed and said, "Is that boring?" "How much interest can be left over from history?" His tone turned serious. As if I had touched a feeling in my heart, I lowered my eyebrows and sighed softly: "Yes, history is thick, covered with moss of time, with the billowing breath of gunpowder smoke, as well as the deep memories deposited in the depths of time. Desolate." I turned my head to look at him, and joked: "Why, does the lord like to dig out the secrets hidden in the depths of history? Or do you like to smell the mildew of the years?"

He smiled: "Mei Jieyu's words are really deep. It's a pity that such a talented woman is buried in the deep palace." I chuckled: "My lord was just joking. Since ancient times, a woman's lack of talent is a virtue, and her brows are ashamed..." For a moment, I didn't know what to say. He suddenly took my hand: "You come with Xiao Wang, and Xiao Wang will take you to a place." I lowered my eyebrows shyly, and tried to pull my hand away, but he held her tightly, so I had to follow him. I turned my head to look at Qiuxi, she smiled at me, and I nodded to her, signaling to wait for me here.

I walked through a thorny forest with difficulty, he protected me all the way, I got scratched on several hands, and I walked behind him, I don’t know why, I just wanted to go on like this endlessly, deep in my heart I have always longed for a kind of desolation, as if I need a complete desolation before I am willing to return to the world with lush vegetation.In my bones, I was so restless, with the loneliness of the world, and a desire to destroy. The twilight in the mountains came early, not long after noon, as if it was dusk, in the misty smoke, between the mountains, there was a round of bright red sunset.It was originally summer, but there was a hint of early autumn in the wind, blowing on the face, there was a faint sense of depression.I sighed: "The sunset in the mountains comes so early, the outside world is still warm and sunny, and it's almost dusk here." His eyes were deep: "Yes, the sun is setting in the west, and the moon is rising out of Xiuxiu. This is very good." I raised my eyebrows, and there was a broken stone tablet standing in front of me, and behind it was a large piece of broken stone ruins. It was like a deserted palace, with only some incomplete traces left.I couldn't help being surprised: "My lord, where is this?" "Hua Xu's dreamland." He looked at the desolate scene with confused eyes. These jagged stones, like mottled bones, were arranged in a chaotic manner, like stiff reliefs, or broken images in a dream. "Hua Xu's dreamland." I murmured and thought, the name is so familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere.Fang Xiangqi asked: "Didn't you pass through a Huaxu city when you arrived at Mingyue Villa? Why is this Huaxu's dream again?" He frowned and smiled lightly: "The so-called Yimeng Huaxu, originally this place is a dreamland, the whole Mingyue Villa is a dreamland, and even the whole world is a dreamland." puzzled. Called softly: "My lord, why do you have such an idea? Why is this place called Hua Xu's Dreamland?" He smiled and said, "Xiao Wang doesn't know either. It was just a coincidence a few years ago. When I walked in here, I always felt that there was a prosperous past here, but I didn't know it." The walls and ruins have a history of hundreds of years, at least.” I was still puzzled: "Could it be that this is the history that the prince wants to explore? But what did you find?" He answered bluntly: "Nothing." I sighed: "Maybe history has no answer. History is just history. History is no different from the present, and it will become history now, and it will be the same in the future. So it is history that survives, and history that dies." He looked at me with deep eyes, for a long time, and called out: "Yue Meiwan." I smiled: "No, I'm not Yue Meiwan, please call me Shen Meiwan." At this moment, for some reason, I want to face everything truthfully. In this barren ruins, it seems that people also need love. Getting acquainted with each other in such a desolate way, any cover-up is boring. "Okay, I'll call you Shen Meiwan, and from now on, I'll call you Shen Meiwan in a place where no one is there." He murmured. "Maybe, not from now on, because I don't plan to meet you again in a place where no one is around." I said decisively, and I knew that being alone like this would be a burden to him and me. He smiled gently: "There are many things that you and I cannot control. Today, is it that I called you here? Why did you come?" Yes, why should I come?I come because I am lonely, and I long to go to a deeper loneliness, to lose myself completely in the desolate wilderness, or to be completely awake.I looked at him and proudly said: "Feeling, a feeling brought me here." "Back then, it was also a feeling that brought me here. When I walked into Hua Xu's dream, I no longer had any interest in the world." There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was laughing at himself, Laugh at me, laugh at the world. I sneered: "Because you have seen the final desolation, you don't have the courage to face the process, you only have the courage to accept the result." "What result?" He asked intentionally. I resolutely smiled and said: "The result is nothing, everything is a dream, nothing." He smiled lightly: "You seem to see clearly, unlike what a woman of your age can see." I laughed: "My lord sees things better, and he saw them many years ago." He put his arms behind his back, straightened his back, proudly: "This king is born with such a nature, the truth of these things is inherently unpredictable, how can this king understand anything from it?" I also had a stubborn expression on my face: "Little girls are also born with the same nature. It has nothing to do with age or ups and downs. This is brought from the bottom of my heart. The thought that has penetrated into the bottom of my heart is that I will never leave." He looked at me, as if he could see through everything about me: "You have noble blood flowing in your bones, and it can be revealed in the rhyme of your eyebrows." "Oh, is that so? It seems that several people have said it. Unfortunately, maybe I was reincarnated by mistake. I was originally a peasant girl, and I have never been related to noble blood. I am not as good as the prince. I was born in an emperor's family." I don't know if my words are mocking myself or him, maybe I have said too much. He laughed loudly: "Do you envy the Emperor's House?" I said disdainfully: "No, I never envy anything. The emperor's house is no different from an ordinary farmer's house, because the country is the country of all living beings, and the world is the world of the world." He praised: "Well said, it's just a battle for status, and those who are able will live. Today, if you win, you will be the king. Tomorrow, if you lose, you will be a bandit. Throughout the history of dynasties, there is no lack of a generation of wise kings, all from the mountains and fields. Desolate forests. And those so-called golden branches and jade leaves born in the emperor's family will also be reduced to grass bandits. Therefore, there is no distinction between high and low, high and low, and no hierarchy." I admire him very much, such a person is not suitable to be an emperor, but he is a real wise man. I also looked at him with a kind of appreciation: "Meiwan admires the mind of the prince, and understands why you don't want the world, but choose to indulge in the mountains, rivers and moonlight." He nodded: "Yes, the world belongs to the people of the world. If you fight, it's the world. If you don't fight, it's the world." I sighed: "But how many people can see through it? Since ancient times, because of the disputes in the world, blood has flowed into rivers, thousands of hectares of green ponds have been moved to flat land, filled up and then collapsed, collapsed and then filled up, people of different dynasties, but doing Same thing. Do you say they are stupid, or too clever?" He looked at the sun that was like the setting sun of blood, the bloody red dyed on his white skirt, there was a kind of burning sadness.Standing with hands behind his back, facing thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, I can only admire such a man.In the past, it was only when he was romantic, yearning for the mountains and rivers, and ignoring the government, but now, he understands that he sees the world and the mountains and rivers so thoroughly. After a long time, he said to me: "Shen Meiwan, you are not an ordinary woman, do you know that? The most feared thing in the harem is the appearance of an unusual woman. Her appearance will either strengthen the country or bring disaster to the country." There was a sneer at the corner of my mouth: "Then do you think my frowning can strengthen the country, or will it harm the country?" "Disaster for the country." He blurted out. "Oh? Your lord is so sure?" "Yes, because you are a compassionate and cruel person." I sneered: "You understand me, so it's only a little bit." He sighed softly: "A little bit is enough, approaching you is to destroy yourself, I can destroy for you, but the emperor can't." His words shocked me, he can destroy for me because he doesn't want the world , and Chunyi cannot be destroyed for me, because he owns the world.Could it be that one day I want them to make a choice between brothers?No, I bow my eyebrows and don't make any choices for anyone, I just be myself in a peaceful manner, and I do it day by day. I sighed: "My lord, you can see through the thousands of years, see through the vicissitudes of life, and see through the ups and downs of the world, why can't you see through a woman?" "The most uncomfortable thing in a person's life is the word love. Love will confuse people. To have love is to own oneself, and to own the world is to have others. Love is emotion, and the world is ruthless." His words hurt me faintly. Heart, this is a boring topic, I have to interrupt. I laughed and said: "Love can only make one person crazy, but the world can make the world crazy." He looked arrogant: "I will not be one of those thousands of people, I will only be myself." I chuckled: "I only do myself, I don't belong to anyone." "Okay, proud lady." "You are not bad, proud prince." He smiled and looked at me: "It's very easy to talk to you, there is no burden at all, and you understand everything Xiao Wang said. Many people who don't understand will think Xiao Wang is crazy. They often talk about Xiao Wang's bohemian behind their backs, but I do not care." I smiled happily: "The most difficult thing to find in the world is a bosom friend. If there is no bosom friend, I would rather die alone than say a word." The mountain wind was blowing, and the thin skirts were fluttering in the wind. Looking at the ruins, I said, "In fact, they are not alone. There must be many souls living here. Do you think they can perceive us talking?" "It should be possible. It is said that ghosts can come and go at dusk, and they can hear the conversations in the world and see right and wrong in the world." He said seriously. Standing in the wind and looking at the ethereal scene, I sighed: "I don't know which dynasty's ancestors lived here, like a fairyland in the world, the Mingyue Villa at that time was probably just a stretch of mountains and rivers." He replied: "It's the Great Yan Kingdom. The Great Yan Dynasty has been in existence for hundreds of years. The people living here must be the tribes of the Great Yan Kingdom." "Dayan." I thought for a while, and for some reason, every time I heard Dayan, I felt an inexplicable shock. In my dreams, the emperor, queen, and guards would always appear, as if the clothes were the clothes of the Great Yan Dynasty. Yes, it's not that clear.I still can't figure out why I have something to do with Dayan. Is it because I live in Daqi's palace, which used to belong to Dayan, so the soul of Dayan came to invade?But the country was not taken by me, why did you find me alone? "Brows..." he called out. I came back to my senses and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" "What are you thinking?" "I didn't think about anything, there was nothingness in my mind, nothingness about this strange dynasty, nothingness about everything in this world." I felt inexplicably lonely, maybe because I saw such a dilapidated scene under the twilight, it was inevitable that emotions would arise. He took my hand: "Go back, maybe I won't come again in the future." I didn't take out my hand, because I felt the warmth of his palm, and at this moment I was greedy for warmth.Looking at him, he asked, "Why?" "Because you have given me the result I want." "I didn't give you the result. The result has long existed. It is only ourselves who are confused." He was at a loss: "Yes, we are not as good as the ghosts in Hua Xu's dream, at least this place belongs to them forever, and the place that belongs to us has too many restrictions." I smiled: "The soul is also imprisoned. When you envy others, others envy you." "So let's go back and be ourselves. You will be your Mei Jieyu, and I will be my Prince Ling." The dusk was low, the cool wind blew through the mountains and forests, and the leaves were rustling. We walked through the thorny road we came here to Mingyue Villa. At the junction of Mingyue Villa and Huaxu's dream, I let go of his hand. I had nothing to do with him Guarantee is nothing more than walking the same path, walking into a dreamland of a lost dynasty, not finding anything, and not losing anything, just getting to know each other a little bit more, that's all.
