C48 free road (1/2)

The road from Xuansui to Nanyan was very remote, and after walking for half a day, they had not run into a single family. Fortunately, they had prepared plenty of food, so their stomachs weren't rumbling with hunger.

In the dead of the night, the team stopped on a wide grass patch. Shangguan Wan instructed the palace maids to place a cloth curtain on the ground and place the delicious food on the ground.

The guards found branches and built a fire.

It was boring to sit and eat like that, so Shangguan Wan gave up on the role first, singing and dancing.

The others also gradually began to find it interesting. Being happy alone was not as fun as being happy together. They began to sing and dance around the fire. Although there was no pattern, the happy atmosphere had already been created.

Shangguan Wan knew that the emperor was a man who would rather die than allow himself to suffer, so she didn't force him to do anything, but just let herself be happy.

When Nangong Yu saw the look of longing on Lin Lin's face, he quietly whispered, ”If you want to go, then join them.”

Lin Lin was still a little hesitant, but after thinking for a moment, he stood up, pulled Rui Xiang along and ran into the crowd. ”Come, let's jump together.”

Ruixiang hated this, so she flicked her sleeves and left.

She ran to a tree and burst into tears.

This kind of crying was not noticed by the joyous crowd. They were still singing and dancing, and would not pay attention to the sadness of a little palace maid.

The footsteps approached, rustling.

”I said I won't jump!” She didn't even turn her head as she used her sleeve to wipe her tears. It wasn't that she had no emotions, it was just that her life was too oppressive. She felt it difficult to even cry.

”It's me.”

Rui Xiang suddenly turned around in surprise. ”Empress?”

Shangguan Wan walked to her side. Under the moonlight, the grass looked cold and deserted, but the people surrounding the bonfire in the distance were smiling happily, it had nothing to do with the word 'cold'.

”I know you're not living a good life. The feeling of having someone's heart at work is not pleasant.”

Rui Xiang had originally just recovered from her shock, but now that she was frightened again, her heart began to palpitate even more.

Shangguan Wan sighed, then said slowly: ”You are a spy sent by your master, the serious illness when I first came to the palace was your masterpiece.”

Rui Xiang's legs took a step back, her body leaning against the trunk of a tree. She trembled, and tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes.

Shangguan Wan knew what she said was right. A fox spirit was good at guessing people's hearts. Ruixiang's expression clearly showed that she was admitting to everything.
