034 “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)” Stars

Yan Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Xie Ciyan felt happy in her heart, but she still pretended not to show it on her face.He naturally picked up the cloak that Yan Zhaozhao had put aside and wrapped it around her, covering her tightly from head to toe, so that no one would get cold, let alone be seen.

The two of them had already done such intimate things, so Yan Zhaozhao didn’t think it was anything, and she stood there obediently and allowed him to move.Xie Ciyan took her hand and stepped out of Jinyuan. He took a cautious look around, and after confirming that no one was around, he held her waist with one hand and tapped his toes on the artificial stone in front.

Xie Ciyan has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and has also learned Qinggong. He can lead the petite Yan Zhaozhao with no effort at all.He took her to an abandoned building. Although the place was deserted, as a queen, there was no place in the palace that she didn’t recognize.

She was a little surprised. She didn’t expect that Xie Ciyan would bring her here.

This building is called Phoenix Tower, and it is the place where the late emperor’s favorite concubine lived, and that concubine was also Xie Ciyan’s biological mother, Concubine Ning.She has never met Concubine Ning with her own eyes, and all she knows about her is from a few words spoken by others.All we know is that Concubine Ning was once the late emperor’s favorite concubine. He once built a Phoenix Tower for her. Everything in the building was extremely luxurious. Many things that the concubines had never seen before were all displayed here. The late emperor even gave her the most favored concubine except the empress. Nowadays, no one can talk about it without mentioning the beauty.

It’s just that even if there is sincerity in the harem, it is impossible to stick to only one person.Although the late emperor doted on Concubine Ning, he did not depose the queen for her and Xie Ciyan, who was still a young prince at the time. After all, the late emperor loved Concubine Ning and could not let go of the concubines in the harem. He loved beauty more than the country.Throughout his life, he only got the title of Phoenix Tower and that scenery, and he died in depression.

After the late emperor left, the empress, who had been revered as the empress dowager, immediately ordered people to seal the Phoenix Tower and smash everything that could be smashed in it. From then on, no one was allowed to approach it, and it was allowed to wither and become desolate.

Although Yan Zhaozhao didn’t know these past events, he also knew what this place meant to Xie Ciyan, so he was even more puzzled as to why he brought himself here.

Before she could continue to think about it, Xie Ciyan grabbed her waist and jumped up to the attic upstairs.Maybe someone had tidied it up before. Although the surroundings were still a little dilapidated, there was no mess at all. There was a desk and a soft bed in the attic. Some flowers might have been planted before, but now they are all withered.

Yan Zhaozhao sat side by side with him on the couch. Although she was suspicious, she still did not speak to break the silence.She vaguely noticed that after arriving at the Phoenix Tower, Xie Ciyan’s interest dropped a little. She thought it was because he revisited the old place and recalled some sad things.

A cool breeze blew gently, and Xie Ciyan suddenly spoke, “When I was a child, my mother-in-law often took me here to enjoy the stars. She said that this is the highest palace in the harem, the closest to the stars. As long as I look up, I can see the sky full of stars.”

When Yan Zhaozhao heard this, she couldn’t help but raise her head.

The night was very dark, the sky was very clean, there was not even a single flake of flakes, and the shining stars like treasures seemed to be hanging within her reach.

It’s an excellent view.

Before she could say anything, Xie Ciyan’s slightly lower voice came to her ears, speaking as if recalling memories.”But these days don’t last long. From now on, my mother and I will no longer bring this king here to watch the stars, but to see which palace my father’s emperor will enter today and which concubine’s palace he will enter tomorrow.” His eyes fell on the candlelight in the distance.In the palace of concubines, “the mother and concubine were waiting here with hope every day, waiting for the father’s holy chariot to stop in front of the building one day. But she waited day and night, and was disappointed night and day. In the end, she covered her face and cried bitterly, and in the end her heart was as gray as death.”

His voice was clear and clear, and there was no hint of emotion or anger, as if what he said was just someone else’s gossip, but the flash of hatred hidden in the darkness had already betrayed him.”Until the day when my mother-in-law passed away, she still could not wait for the young man in her memory.”

Yan Zhaozhao’s expression darkened suddenly. As a woman from the harem, how could she not understand Concubine Ning’s situation?It’s just that she is luckier than Concubine Ning in that she has not fallen in love with that person, so she cannot experience the feeling of waiting day and night for that person to favor her. Just looking at the concubines in the harem who can do some life-threatening things for favor, she knows how difficult it is to wait for someone who has lost his heart to look back.

This harem is prosperous everywhere, but in the final analysis it is just a luxurious cage. They are just pets for the emperor’s pleasure. They have no freedom and no self. They can only wait here until the day they die.

None of the noble ladies outside the palace wall would want to enter the palace to enjoy the glory. Each of them is like the wealthy tiger and tiger leopard, staring at the slightest chance of entering the palace.But they don’t know that when they look up to the women in the palace, these women in the harem are also looking up to them, yearning for freedom.

Yan Zhaozhao didn’t know what to say to comfort the man in front of her. After all, she was just one of the many women in the harem. In the face of life, nothing she could say could empathize with her.

Seeing the tangled look on her face, Xie Ciyan frowned, and his brows returned to the lazy feeling before, “What are you thinking about? I am not telling you this to comfort or sympathize with you. I brought you here tonight to let you know my past, nothing more.”

What he said was cryptic, but it contained hints. Although Yan Zhaozhao was confused for a moment, he quickly came to his senses.Xie Ciyan further confessed his feelings to her. He took the initiative to let her know about this past event that belonged to him. He was opening his own heart and giving her the only key, so that she could enter his heart at any time.

Xie Ciyan took out the brocade box from his arms and took out the hairpin lying inside, without letting her take a look at the style. He stroked her hair with his fingertips and inserted the hairpin into her bun.”I know you are uneasy.” His expression darkened slightly, “In this deep palace, you and I are just a chess piece in the hands of others, and how can chess pieces have the qualifications to make their own decisions. But Zhao Zhao…”

His gaze fell on Yan Zhaozhao’s face, but his eyes were as firm as a rock, “It’s not like the chess piece will never become the one who controls the overall situation. When that happens, I will definitely want you to stand by my side openly.”

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhaozhao’s pupils shrank in disbelief, and her heart trembled violently.It was not that she had never thought about taking an adventurous path with Xie Ciyan, but every time she thought that she would only become one of the women in his harem, she stopped thinking. She did not want to become the woman in the harem who completely lost herself for the sake of favor.

Her fingertips lightly touched the hairpin he inserted in her hair, and her heartbeat inevitably accelerated in this quiet night.

“You don’t have to rush to give me the answer, as long as you stop resisting me, that’s it.”

Yan Zhaozhao couldn’t help but find it a little funny. How did he see that she was resisting him?If she had resisted, she would not have gone to Jinyuan to look for him, let alone sit here with him now.She thought that her actions were enough to clearly inform him, but she never thought that the decisive and ruthless force of this person in the previous attack was of no use here.

She moved her body without leaving a trace, getting closer to Xie Ciyan. The question that had been lingering in her mind for a long time finally blurted out at this moment, “Xie Ciyan, you said… when will your thoughts for me turn into disgust and boredom?”

Yan Zhaozhao asked Xie Ciyan seemingly casually, but Xie Ciyan’s heart was aroused.He pondered for a moment, then finally spoke, his voice a little more tender.”I don’t know.”

She turned her head suddenly, but she looked into his eyes as he had expected.”Since I was a child, I have not believed that there is everlasting love in the world. Even father and son who are related by blood will eventually part ways, let alone that elusive love?” His eyes darkened a little. “I personally watched my mother and concubine give up everything for that so-called love, but in the end, I couldn’t bring my father’s heart back to the Phoenix Tower. So, I can’t talk about those promises made by us.”

He has seen too much verbal love, like the father and the current emperor.Their love was expressed on the bed without hesitation, but there was more than just one person. If it wasn’t the only love, how precious would it be.

“I don’t want to deceive you and say something against my will. What I can promise you is that my thoughts about you are not just a whim, and no other person will get the same thoughts from me. As long as I am here, I will do my best to protect you.”

After saying that, Xie Ciyan was about to ask her if she believed him, but she gave up her intention in an instant.He had never been a man of words. If he asked her now, would it make her feel like he was forcing himself on her?

As soon as this thought came out, he shut his mouth.

For Yan Zhaozhao, more done is always more useful than more said.

The ends of Yan Zhaozhao’s eyes were slightly reddish, and suddenly she leaned lightly on his shoulder, and her fingertips tightened her black sleeves little by little.She didn’t express anything about her words just now, but her movements were closer and more intimate than usual.

The moment she came closer, Xie Ciyan felt that his breathing suddenly stopped. Immediately, he felt even more happy, and he lowered his body slightly to make her more comfortable.

The next second, her soft voice came, and her tone was elongated like a coquettish one, with a charming charm of its own.”The wind is so cold at night…”

Xie Ciyan subconsciously looked at her. She was still wearing a cloak, and her rosy face did not look cold, but he did not doubt that he was there. Just when he was about to tighten the cloak for her, he heard her say again:

“There is a hot spring behind the Phoenix Tower. Why don’t you go and warm yourself up?”
