Madam, she always wants to run away

Chapter 63 Past Life: Love Rising

Xiao Lian felt that he had slept for a long time, until he smelled a fragrant fragrance of flowers and felt the warm sunshine on his body.

His eyelids moved slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Looking around, he was surprised to find that he was actually in the imperial garden of the imperial palace in the capital.
He remembered!Before he passed out completely, he seemed to have heard Yingying's cry. Could it be that Yingying brought him back?
By the way, what about Yingying?

Shocked, Xiao Lian stood up from among the flowers.

"Ying—" Xiao Lian was about to call out, when suddenly he saw Chief Supervisor Feng Bao leading a group of people walking towards here.When the group approached, Xiao Lian caught sight of Li Ying at the end of the group.

"Yingying!" Xiao Lian exclaimed in surprise, and when he was about to stride forward to grab Li Ying's hand, something unexpected happened——

His hand passed through Li Ying's hand abruptly, like transparent air, without grabbing anything.

what happened? !Xiao Lian looked at his palm in disbelief, and then at Feng Bao and his party who left. He was standing opposite Feng Bao, but Feng Bao didn't seem to respond at all, as if he wasn't there at all.

Xiao Lian's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Could it be that...he is dead?What exists in this world now is only his ghost?Xiao Lian was frightened by this thought and broke into a cold sweat.

He hadn't had time to kiss her lips properly, brushed away the hair on her forehead, held her hand and coaxed her to sleep, and hadn't lived a life of two and one cat with her, unfettered and free...

Did everything come to an abrupt end like this?

wrong.

The voice in Xiao Lian's head told himself that he did not believe that fate treated him so unfairly.

Xiao Lian calmed down, turned around and quickly followed Li Ying and his party who had gone far away.

Just now he was immersed in surprise, but now he looked carefully, but saw some clues.Looking at Yingying's attire today, it is obvious that she is a girl who has not left the court, and some of the women who are traveling with her, Xiao Lian, are somewhat familiar.

Isn't that the late emperor's concubine? !

Could it be that...his ghost drifted to the day when he first met Yingying, the day she entered the palace for draft?
Weird, weird.If God turned him into a ghost to see all this, what is the purpose?In order to understand this strange situation, Xiao Lian decided to follow Li Ying every step of the way.

I saw Li Ying lowering her head all the way, her eyes not daring to look anywhere, she followed the beautiful girl in front step by step, and settled down in Chuxiu Palace.

Hehe, looking at the cute appearance of the little girl, who would have thought that she would take advantage of the night to go to the Imperial Garden to steal the geraniums that can change her appearance drastically?Unexpectedly, Xiao Lian waited and waited until it was completely dark, until Li Ying turned off the light and got into bed, Xiao Lian couldn't wait for her to steal flowers from the imperial garden.

That's not right, how could it be like this, wouldn't it mean that I can't meet her?

However, Xiao Lian is just a ghost, apart from seeing Li Ying tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep silently, he can't do anything.

The next day, Li Ying got up early to wait for the arrangement of the palace servants. Although she had dark circles under her eyes and looked listless due to not sleeping all night, she still couldn't hide her beautiful face. Her every frown and smile, in Xiao Lian's eyes, All are the most moving scenery.Xiao Lian just looked at Li Ying who was sitting in front of the mirror and getting dressed, with a doting smile on his face.

In the Tiyuan Hall, the beautiful girls filed in. Xiao Lian saw the emperor's grandmother who was still in good health. Before he could be happy, the next moment, he was livid with anger at what the emperor's grandmother did.

The imperial grandmother actually left Yingying's sign!

What nonsense!How can this be done? !Standing beside the imperial grandmother, Xiao Lian uttered a lot of accusations out of righteous indignation.

But it was useless, the imperial grandmother didn't even lift her eyelids, Xiao Lian watched helplessly as she marked Li Ying's name tag: "Beautiful, gentle temperament."

Xiao Lian trembled with anger. Since he is a ghost, what about Xiao Lian who is alive in this world?Why hasn't this brat shown up yet?Doesn't he even know if his wife is gone? !
Xiao Lian looked for "himself" everywhere, and it didn't take long before he found "himself" in the imperial study. This fool was still discussing state affairs with the emperor who forced his biological mother to death.

Xiao Lian followed "myself" out of the imperial study, hoping that he would meet Li Ying, so that he could logically beg the queen mother to marry him and Yingying.

But no, that Xiao Lian walked out of the palace without hesitation.

Xiao Lian returned to Li Ying's side dejectedly, thinking that there must be some other opportunity for the two of them to meet.

However, until three days later, when the day of re-election arrived, this opportunity did not appear.Xiao Lian watched Li Ying step into the Tiyuan Hall again with his last sliver of hope. He thought that something must happen to prevent her from becoming the emperor's concubine.

However, he found that he was wrong.Nothing happened, the lecherous emperor was amazed by Li Ying's appearance at a glance, and immediately left a card, sealing him as a promise.

This is simply outrage!Wanting him to watch Yingying being defiled by the filthy emperor, what's the difference between stabbing him in the heart? !

As Xiao Lian expected, the emperor turned over Li Ying's sign that night.Looking at the trembling Li Ying, Xiao Lian was angry and anxious, but there was nothing he could do to help.

Just when Xiao Lian was eager to try the tricks of ghost possession and controlling the emperor's behavior, a savior appeared.

It's Concubine Hua.

Concubine Hua had inquired about it long ago. It is said that among the new concubines entering the palace this year, there is a little goblin with a face that is a disaster for the country and the people. She is the daughter of a little county magistrate.

Hmph, isn't this kind of woman who comes from a humble background but wants to climb the dragon and the phoenix, to her concubine Hua Gui, it's as simple as crushing an ant to death?
So just when Li Ying was being served by the palace servants after bathing and was about to be carried into the emperor's bedroom, a maid from the Changchun Palace suddenly came to report that the imperial concubine had a nightmare and wanted to see her majesty, crying.

The emperor could see a beautiful woman in his arms, but he was not happy about being interrupted like this.But the big palace lady refused to leave no matter what she said, she knelt in front of the palace and begged the emperor to go to Changchun Palace.

Finally, the emperor compromised.He thought that it would not be too late to enjoy this beauty tomorrow, but if Concubine Hua Gui was unhappy, he would not have a good life.

Because of this, Li Ying escaped unharmed.Xiao Lian on the side also let out a long sigh of relief, never expecting that Concubine Hua Gui could do a human thing in her life.

On the second and third nights, the emperor stayed in the Changchun Palace, and it was heard that Concubine Hua had come up with some new tricks, coaxing the emperor to look happy on the dragon bed.

Concubine Hua Gui is very smart, she knows that it is impossible to win the emperor's heart for a long time by herself alone, she quickly selects a daughter of a minister from the four princes' faction among the new concubines, and allows her to live in Changchun Palace The side hall serves the emperor together.

As a result, the emperor temporarily forgot about Li Ying.

Time passed quickly, Xiao Lian watched Li Ying accompany Hsinchu every day in his small bedroom, being a female celebrity, raising flowers and plants every day, living a poor life, but also leisurely.

It's just that Xiao Lian is secretly anxious. If this continues, when will Xiao Lian here meet her?

Perhaps God heard the distress in Xiao Lian's heart, and soon, this opportunity presented itself.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the palace will hold a banquet as usual. All the relatives of the emperor are invited, and the concubines in the palace will naturally also attend.

This night, there were lights and festoons everywhere in the palace, it was very lively.In the imperial garden, cups of wine were intertwined, creating a lively scene.The empress dowager and the emperor sat at the head, several concubines including Concubine Hua sat on both sides with their princes and princesses, followed by Xiao Lian and other royal children, and lastly were lowly concubines like Li Ying.

Xiao Lian looked at "myself" anxiously, and found that he was drinking wine one after another, chatting with the emperor and empress dowager occasionally, Xiao Lian knew that "myself" was not used to such occasions.

But tonight is an excellent opportunity for the two of them to meet!Can you stop sitting there drinking all the time!Xiao Lian wished he could snatch the wine glass from "my" hand and throw it hard on his face.

At this time, Li Ying in the corner seemed a little overwhelmed with alcohol, and was supported by Hsinchu out of the imperial garden.Coincidentally, "I" got up to clean my hands because of internal urgency.

Li Ying never drank alcohol when she was in Songyang, tonight was a palace banquet, she had to drink a few sips, but she became dizzy and hot all over after a while.Unable to avoid being disrespectful, Li Ying staggered along the path to the fish pond, trying to wake himself up.

Unexpectedly, a gust of cold wind blew this night, and she was so cold that she shivered unconsciously.

"My lord, are you cold?" Hsinchu asked with concern.

Li Ying nodded: "A little bit."

"Then I'll get a cloak for the young master."

Li Ying was a little drunk, she didn't respond, she just nodded slightly while buried in her arms.

Hsinchu was afraid that the little master would catch cold, so he hurried back to the palace to get his clothes.It's just that her palace is remote, and it would take at least a quarter of an hour to go back and forth.

Xiao Lian just stood quietly behind Li Ying, looking at her thin back.

After a while, the back began to tremble slightly, and then Xiao Lian heard her sobbing softly.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." she cried very restrainedly, but Xiao Lian could hear that she was very sad.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Lian was wondering, when suddenly someone behind him asked before him.

He turned his head and saw "myself" looking at the woman by the pool expressionlessly.

Hearing the voice, Li Ying hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face with her sleeves, stood up and wanted to salute.But her footsteps were uncontrollable at all. As soon as she got up, her legs went limp, and she fell backward uncontrollably.

"Hey——" Xiao Lian and "myself" exclaimed in surprise at the same time, Xiao Lian stretched out his hand to hold Li Ying, but his hand crossed Li Ying's again.

He missed her.

But fortunately, another Xiao Lian caught him.

"Are you okay?" The expression on his face didn't fluctuate, because the woman in front of him was just a stranger to him.

Xiao Lian looked at the expressionless "self" with cold eyes, and felt contempt in his heart: Just pretend, I'll see how long you can pretend.

"I'm fine." Li Ying quickly withdrew her hand from the other party's hand. She had been in the palace for more than a month, but she locked herself in the palace all day long. The serious-looking man in front of him, besides, he was already struggling in the palace, so he couldn't be caught by others.

"Who are you, what are you doing here alone?" Palace banquets are often the most chaotic time, and Xiao Lian has to be more careful about any suspicious people and things.

"You... who are you?" Li Ying had inexplicable hostility towards the man in front of him who was interrogating her like a prisoner with a bad tone. With a big tongue, the words spoken have no momentum at all.

Xiao Lian raised his eyebrows and said, "Xiao Lian."

"No...I don't know."

"...Are you drunk?" Xiao Lian couldn't laugh or cry in his heart.

"I do not have."

"Anyone who is drunk will say that he is not drunk."

"I... said... no, no!" Li Ying frowned, wondering why this man was so annoying.

"Your Majesty gave the banquet, why are you here alone?"

"I'll blow the air."

"Haven't you ever had a drink?"

"How do you know?" Li Ying was a little surprised.

"Only people who have never drunk will think that blowing can cure hangovers, but they don't know that blowing will only make them more drunk."

"Is that so..." Li Ying scratched her head in a daze.

"Then why are you crying secretly?"

Speaking of this, the expression on Li Ying's face became a little melancholy, and she pursed her lips for a while and replied, "It's none of your business."

"A woman of unknown origin behaves strangely. If she does something that is not good for His Majesty, this king will punish her on the spot."

As soon as Li Ying heard this, the hostility that had been suppressed with great difficulty suddenly rose again: "What kind of unknown woman, my name is Li Ying, she has a name and a surname!"

"Then you said, why are you crying during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"I...I'm homesick for my parents, okay?!" Li Ying said angrily.

What kind of reason did Xiao Lian think it would be, but it turned out to be like this?The serious expression on his face softened: "Are you new to the palace? I haven't seen you before."

"I have been in the palace for more than a month."

"Where is your home?" Xiao Lian didn't know what was wrong with him. Facing this woman who sometimes pretended to be fierce and sometimes looked blank with a teardrop hanging from the corner of her eye, his patience seemed to be stronger than that of those who Prisoners are much better off.

The palace banquet was extremely boring, it would be good to kill some time by this pool before going back, so as not to yawn in front of His Majesty and the Queen Mother.

"My home is in Songyang, do you know that?"

"Songyang county magistrate Li Huan is your father?"

Li Ying raised her head in surprise, her big eyes reflected the gentle moonlight tonight, this was the first time Li Ying heard her father's name in the palace.

"You know my dad?"

Xiao Lian shook his head: "I haven't seen it before. I only know that Mr. Li has been an official in Songyang for more than ten years. He is diligent and diligent. He is a rare good official."

"I see..." Li Ying was a little disappointed, but soon she showed Xiao Lian her first smiling face of the night: "Thank you for complimenting my father!"

Looking at the woman who suddenly smiled brightly at him, he stood where he was, lost in thought.
