phoenix returns to the world

Chapter 175

"You—" Concubine Wan Guishang stopped in front of that figure, raised her eyes, and unexpectedly saw that the man in front of her was a man she was very familiar with, her eyes were wide open, she couldn't believe it, her lips twitched several times, and finally After saying a word, the body froze for a moment, then stopped moving forward, and the two looked at each other.

After a while, Concubine Wan Gui said, "Why are you here?"

The lover who hadn't seen him for more than ten years suddenly appeared in front of her, which surprised her, but also brought a little joy. After she entered the palace, she didn't think of him again. It has been more than ten years, and the past is still vivid in her memory. But she felt as if it had been a long time.

"Are you okay?" The man recalled with a low voice, but he did not answer what Concubine Wan Gui asked. The man's eyes fell directly on her face, and he hadn't seen her for more than ten years. In the draft, being appointed as a concubine by the emperor, the sadness, loss, and even decadence in his heart, the family business is in his hands, and it is declining day by day. Without her, what is the use of his hard work.He originally thought that he would never meet again in this life, but he never thought that the woman he once liked suddenly appeared in front of his eyes more than ten years later, making him tremble with joy.

"Do you think I'm doing well?" Concubine Wan Gui heard the man's greeting, as if she had touched some kind of deliberately disguised shell, her heart was sad, and her voice came out with a trace of resentment.At this time, Concubine Wan Gui is no longer the high-ranking, scheming, and scheming harem woman, she is just a woman who needs to be cared for.

Today's Concubine Wan Gui is just a decoration, a fuzzy appearance of a noble concubine whose family of the Wan family stands upright in the harem, but now she has some regrets. Was it her luck or misfortune to enter the palace?

"There is a saying, I have kept it in my heart for more than ten years, why were you willing to leave me at the beginning?" The man's voice fell straight into Concubine Wan Gui's heart with a hint of sorrow, so direct that Concubine Wan Gui Startled.

The two were silent for a while, and neither of them spoke.

The big tree covered the occasional lights at night. On the quiet path, the two looked at each other. There was a joy in the air that they had never met again, but after this meeting, they went their separate ways. The sadness of not seeing each other again in this life.

"Then why haven't you married a wife and had children for so many years? You are the only heir in your family. Do you want to let the whole family perish in your hands?" When Concubine Wan Gui said this, her voice couldn't help raising her voice a little bit, with some blame.

"Because of you, do you know, when I found out that you entered the palace and became the emperor's woman, I felt so much pain in my heart, I felt like dying. At first I hated you very much, but year after year, it gradually became Resentment, do you know how I have spent these years? Every year I draw two portraits of you and hang them in my study. After more than ten years, the resentment has disappeared, and only a strand of sadness remains. "

The man's hands trembled a little, staring at Concubine Wan Gui, sometimes angry, sometimes sad, sometimes reluctant.

"Cousin, you are so stupid," Concubine Wan Gui could no longer control the feelings that were submerged in her heart and tried hard to suppress. Once the suppressed net tore a gap, the thoughts would come out continuously , dominated everything, opened his arms and threw himself into the man's arms, feeling the warm and thin body, listening to the man's heartbeat.

"Ziqiong, come with me, I know you are not doing well, let me take good care of you, okay?" The man called Wan Guifei's nickname with a cautious voice and a hint of hope in his eyes. The hand on Concubine Wan Gui's waist also trembled slightly because of these words.

"No, no, I can't—" Concubine Wan Gui immediately raised her head from the nostalgic embrace, shaking her head non-stop.

"You are still reluctant to part with the splendor and wealth in the palace. Do you like living in this seemingly resplendent palace so much? Now the emperor will never come to your palace again. You have lost power, and the family is also preparing to send another one." A woman enters the palace and wins the emperor's favor, what use is there for you to stay in this cold palace?" The man's voice raised a bit, and every sentence was like a sharp knife, cutting straight into Concubine Wan Gui's heart superior.

"Cousin, what did you just say?" Concubine Wan Gui heard the latter sentence from the man's words, her eyes widened, and she couldn't believe it. She didn't expect that the emperor hadn't come to her palace for three months. She thought that her family would abandon her when she was at her worst. She couldn't believe it, but she couldn't believe it. She remembered that when she entered the palace, her father called her into the study and said that words.

Ziqiong, after you enter the palace, you are not just you, you represent the entire Wan family, the rise and fall of the Wan family are all on your shoulders, you must be favored by the emperor, the king's favor, that is Standing invincible in the harem, if you want to win the position of being under one person and above ten thousand people, you must endure, endure what ordinary people cannot bear, and firmly grasp the king's heart.

"Hehe," Concubine Wan Gui saw that the man didn't answer, her silence was her acquiescence, and her heart was full of sadness. She thought it was just that the emperor no longer favored her, but she didn't expect that the family didn't want her anymore. It's a bit sharp.

"Zi Yan, I know you still have me in your heart, come with me, although I can't give you gold and silver, but I can still prevent you from suffering and suffering." The man stretched out his hand and put it on Wan Guifei's waist, Waiting for the woman to nod in agreement.

"No, I won't go, why should I go with you, now I am the imperial concubine under two people and above many people, I will definitely get that position, only one step away, I am only one step away, the best I have been buried in this deep palace for years, and now I have no reason not to continue," Concubine Wan Gui stopped laughing, her eyes were full of persistence.

"Wake up, what have you become now, are you still the Ziqiong I know?" The man strode up to Concubine Wan Gui, stretched out his hand, and shook her for a while, as if This is the only way to wake her up.

"This palace is like this, you go, you go right away," at this moment, Concubine Wan Gui's voice was sharp, as if she urgently needed to drive the man in front of her away.

"You are so cruel, you and I met so hard, you want to drive me away. Do you know, how many times have I been to the imperial city? I come here almost every month, thinking that if I am If there is no one guarding the Vermillion Bird Gate, I can sneak into the palace to meet you. I am looking forward to this, I have been in prison for more than ten years, and the sky pays off. Tonight, I finally caught the Vermilion Bird Gate and no one is guarding it. gone."

When the man said this, he was very excited and moved closer to Concubine Wan Gui.

Concubine Wan Gui didn't realize it until she heard this. There was no one guarding the Zhuque Gate. calculated.

"Cousin, hurry up, let me go immediately!" Concubine Wan Gui's voice was also somewhat urgent, and she took a few steps towards the man, and stretched out her hand to push the man away.

"Ziyan, come with me, let's leave the palace together. I finally entered here tonight. After meeting this time, I'm afraid we will never have another chance in our lifetime," the man said later, even more reluctant to let go, his thin body She was in shape, but her arms carried great strength, tightly hugging Concubine Wan Gui's waist, no matter how Concubine Wan Gui broke free, she couldn't escape that strong force.

"Cousin, you go away, it must be a trap for you to see me tonight, you go away," Wan Guifei's voice softened a lot when she heard the man's words, she didn't want to see her cousin get hurt because of her.Just when Concubine Wan Gui finished speaking, there was a shout not far away, "Concubine Wan Gui, Concubine Wan Gui—"

The rows of bright torches kept approaching, making Concubine Wan Gui feel anxious.

"I won't leave. I've been looking forward to it for more than ten years. I finally see you. Even if I die immediately, I'm willing. At least you will always remember me." The man still didn't let go of Concubine Wan Gui. He seemed to be immersed in his reluctance for her.

"Let's go, let me leave quickly!" Concubine Wan Gui looked at the approaching torch, her heart beat wildly, she must not let them find her cousin.

"Concubine Wan Gui, where are you?" There was a shout from behind, which also startled the man who was hugging Concubine Wan Gui tightly. The man immediately let go of Concubine Wan Gui, and looked back at the torch not far from them. , once again reluctantly stared at Concubine Wan Gui, and then walked away resolutely.

Soon, the group of people came to Concubine Wan Gui, guards with knives and torches in their hands, when they got in front of Concubine Wan Gui, they automatically divided into two rows to let out.

"Concubine Wan Gui, it's so late, why did you appear here, and I made you think that my sister was taken away by an assassin?" The Empress Empress walked out from the bright lights, looking at Concubine Wan Gui, her eyes were full of scrutiny, and she looked at that A pair of slightly red eyes, thoughtful.

"The concubine couldn't sleep, so I stumbled here unknowingly. The concubine has just arrived here, and you are here. Empress, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?" Concubine Wan Gui lowered her eyebrows and said calmly.

The queen looked at the crooked grass through Concubine Wan Gui, her eyes dimmed, she waved her hand, and said to the guards behind her, "Go and see."

Concubine Wan Gui followed the Queen's line of sight, and her heart tightened suddenly. Cousin was too careless, how could such a big flaw be exposed, but she never thought that someone would have known that they would react in this way, so dig it out Pit, waiting for them to jump straight into it.

If she does too many things to frame others, the retribution will always be on her.

This time, the person who should be nervous should be Concubine Wan Gui. Her face also forgot to hide for a moment, revealing a worried look, and her eyes never moved away from the guards with knives.

However, all of Concubine Wan Gui fell into the eyes of the empress.

The torches illuminated the entire forest brightly, and the two women stood on the ground like that, one with an anxious face, and the other calm and indifferent.
