Jiankang.

There is no snow in Jingzhou, but the snow in Jiankang is more than two inches thick. The lights are just rising, and the night is mellow. The bluestone streets are empty and cold, and the snow under your feet is creaking and creaking.

Because of the heavy wind and snow, the doors and windows of every household were closed, and the dim light shone out from the doors and windows, and laughter could be heard faintly. Couplets were posted on the couplets of each household, and lanterns were hung.

It turned out that the Chinese New Year was already over. I felt sad, I didn’t know what time it was today.

Jiankang, it has been more than a year since he left.

There are very few pedestrians on the street, and you can see the end of Zhuque Street at a glance. At the end, turn another turn and you will be Wen's Mansion.

I'm walking slowly.

When I arrived at the entrance of a small shop, I stopped. The white flour was so hot that I turned my head and looked at the steamer on the stove.

I was walking fast all the way, and I didn’t remember how many days I had been running. I seemed to have eaten something randomly, and I didn’t remember what I had eaten. I was too anxious and had already used up a few changes. I felt extremely hungry in my stomach.

"Boy, are you hungry?" In the dim light, an uncle in his forties put down his pipe and stood up.

I didn't make any noise.

"Oh! There are so many refugees! Come on, boy, take it and eat it." The uncle took out a steamed bun from the steamer and handed it to me.

I took it silently, finished a few bites, and only ate it to the point where the chest and throat were incredibly infarct.

"Boy, did you come from the north? You'll be fine if you come to Jiankang, you won't starve to death!" The uncle sighed.

I whispered, "Thank you!"

He was stunned: "So it's a girl." He looked at me carefully and said: "Look at the girl should be a good woman, how could she get this..."

I looked down at myself.

A pair of leather boots had already had several holes due to the rapid movement of days. They were originally wearing a sky-green warrior uniform and were torn. The hair must have been extremely messy, and their hands were dirty and black, and their faces must have been...

Thinking of this, I suddenly understood - how could I, like this, go to see Wen You?

Suddenly, the scene of us lying side by side on the Qinhuai River flashed in my mind. He was wearing a black training suit, tall and straight, and I was wearing a green lake gauze skirt. His eyes were dark and he stared at me, calling me in a low voice: "Girl..."

The voice is low and warm and mellow, as if it is still ringing in my ears, but it makes me feel like a knife.

I bowed to the uncle, turned around, and quickly left.

After passing through two streets, Xiahou Mansion was also the confidential place of our alliance. The door was closed and I walked forward. Two men in black fell silently from the eaves: "Who?"

"It's me." I whispered.

One of them spoke in surprise: "Fight against the Protector!" The two of them turned sideways and opened the door for me.

I heard one of them say ill, "Hurry up and fly pigeon to pass on the letter to the leader of the alliance."

I walked into the mansion, straight to my former room, and gently pushed open the door. A guard behind me followed him to the door.

The room was still in the darkness of the day I left. I opened the cabinet and took out my clothes. I turned around and said to the outsider: "Brother, can you prepare a hot water bath for me?"

—————

Walking on the roof of Wen Mansion, if anyone could find out my whereabouts, only Wen You. However, the house of Wen Mansion was pitch black. After searching for a while, I saw a bright house.

Suddenly I remembered that I had only stepped into this Wen Mansion once.

I landed on the ground. The door was half-closed and looked at the light.

But it's not Wen You.

Lord Wen Qiao, who had not seen for a long time, sat quietly at the table reading a book. Under the light, he saw his slightly drooping face, handsome and calm.

I gently pushed open the door: "Master Wen."

He slowly raised his head, his eyes stopped on me, and was stunned.

"Sir, where is Zi Su?" He said this and realized that his voice was a little astringent.

He looked at me deeply: "Qinghong, thank you for your hard work this year." He put down the book and stood up, "Yu'er is already a royal husband. But you should know his affection for you. Princess Huayao is a kind and generous person. I can let You'er take you as her concubine, okay?"

I bit my lip tightly, but I never expected Lord Wen to mention this matter so straightforwardly. But... Is that a concubine?

Wen Qiao said softly, "Child, sit down." I sat down as he said. He said with warm words: "Child, Princess Wen Youshang, he also told me that you had a engagement with her. But do you know that the poor families of the gentry in our court cannot intermarry, especially the poor women who are married to the gentry as the wife. What's more, the power in the court is dangerous, and his actions are loyal to the emperor and forced to do so. I can't explain too much to you. You just need to know that you can still marry You'er. But how can you be perfect in this world?"

I just felt confused. Is it? Wen You just had to marry the princess, and he was like me, unwilling to do so? Is it still the only one in his heart?

But as a concubine? From now on, he will also be someone else's husband? That person is the wife he married with was the only one who can have a foetus with him after he died together?

A pain in my heart.

But how could I be someone else’s concubine when I Zhan Qinghong?

I am unwilling to be a concubine, but I am reluctant to let go of my sadness when I see you...

what do I do?

"Child, think about it carefully. If You'er knew that you were back to him, she would be extremely happy." Wen Qiao said.

Yes, I could almost imagine that Wen You would look ecstatic. He would definitely hold me in his arms as before and call me: "Mei Nu..."

"Let me think about it carefully." I said softly. Wen Qiao nodded.

"Where are others in Wen You?" There was no one in his room.

Wen Qiao paused: "He has moved to the Prince Consort's Mansion long ago." He looked at me and added: "War girl, the overall situation is the most important thing."

I took a deep breath and nodded: "Don't worry, I won't be disturbed until I think about it..."

It disturbed...the couple.

I couldn't bear to say this word. The pain in my heart has never stopped since I stepped into Jiankang. Now, it has sunk little by little, sinking to the bottom of the water where I don't know where it is, and it has become particularly clear.

Are they ultimately, or have long been unable to stay together?

Walking out of the Wen Mansion gate, I looked at the empty streets. It was late at night, and the snow on the ground reflected the moonlight, making the empty alley a little abruptly bright. I was still wearing a long summer dress, and the bone-bone cold wind soaked my whole body, just like my mood.

Let’s go and have a look. Whether it’s a concubine or never stay with me, at least let me see him. I miss him for so many days, and the guards of Xiahou Mansion said that I had been running for a month in ten days and returned to Jiankang. I want to see him so much, I want to see him.

Don't worry about other things. Whether it's a engagement, disappointment or sadness, I just want to see him.

The confusion, panic, chaos, and sadness have gradually disappeared over the past few days. There is only one thought: to meet him. After a year, what is he like now? What kind of shirt he wears? How about martial arts? Can you beat me?

The Princess's Mansion is easy to find, even in the night, it is magnificent and brightly lit. The door is guarded strictly. I heard that she is the most beloved grandson of General Wang Dun.

I was already in the courtyard. There were not many people in the courtyard, but they were very big, and the houses seemed to be as magnificent as I walked over one by one, but I always saw some maids and guards.

I feel a little anxious, Wen You, where are you?

After passing through a corridor, a garden suddenly appeared.

I stopped.

Next to the garden and in the wing room, candles swaying. The door was closed, and only two people were reflected in front of the bed, which was vividly visible.

It was a woman with a big sleeve and a double skirt, looking up at the tall and slender man.

He lowered his head and looked at her. She raised her head. The shadows of their hands overlapped.

Fortunately, it's just a shadow.

I rushed over, pulled up the ground, and leaned on the beam. I pulled out the dagger between my boots and poked a hole in the bed.

Looking through, I saw a woman's headdress waist, beautiful and beautiful under the lights.

"Mr. Prince Consort, today my father asked you, and it seems that he wanted to be promoted to the court lieutenant. Hua Yao here to congratulate the prince consort."

"Thank you, Princess." A low and honest voice replied. I loosened my hand and almost fell from the beam. His voice was still as usual. Although, that gentle voice was only for me.

He once blushed and pretended to be joking, "If you don't give me a fox, I won't accompany you to Chengguo, Zhaoguo, Western Regions, Northern Liao, Penglai...

He once seriously, Mei Nu, I am not inferior to your father. I will definitely make you live happier than your mother.

I suddenly felt very sad.

It wasn't the blank in his mind when he learned that he was married, the panic running all the way, the sadness when he stepped into Jiankang, the grievances and feelings of just mentioning being a concubine or leaving...

It was a pain that was surging. My head, my limbs, my internal organs were ignited by his voice in an instant. The hidden pain seemed to surge out of the flesh and blood, clear and inch-like. My body seemed to be pierced by this huge pain, stiff and numb and unable to control myself.

In a trance, I heard the woman say again: "Mr. Concubine, it's late at night... Let's rest."

He seemed to respond softly, but he couldn't hear clearly. I wiped my tears and looked through the hole with my eyes hazy.

But I saw a hand as white as jade, holding the big hand tightly.

I was so familiar with that hand. He once grabbed my hand in his palm. I slid across the cocoon in his palm and said with a smile: "Do you think our children in the future will be the best in the martial arts world?"

At that time, Xiaolan on the side sneered and said, "Miss, I'm so shameless. Son-in-law, don't laugh."

He smiled heavily and held my hand tightly...

Zi Su, Zi Su!

I am a cicada in the end, and it is impossible. Now, when I hear your voice and see even if it is just your figure, I know that it is impossible. I cannot be your concubine, and I cannot be with you again in this life.

You and I will lose each other. I know you, if you have no self to accompany you in this life, you will definitely be sad. How I can't bear to make you sad!

But, I can't.

So that's how it is. Since I left Jiankang, we have lost each other. So that's how it is. I have no more Wen You and Wen Zisu!

Hiding on the beam, tears fell down. I suddenly saw that the candlelight in the room had disappeared. I felt a stagnation in my heart, my breath became chaotic in an instant, and I choked out...

"Who?" I heard a low growl, and someone broke out of the window at an extremely fast speed and approached my hiding place in an instant.

In the darkness, I saw the "Je" in his hand flowing.

I jumped up from the beam, turned over to the eaves, and several rises and falls, more than ten feet away from the princess's mansion.

Looking back from afar, the man did not chase after him. In the darkness, the light of "Je" was seen in a corner of the eaves, silently.
