He took me by the hand and led me through the hall to the garden at the back.

Tonight's moonlight, such a flowing, fake mountains, forest sparse shadow flowers like wine.

He took me through the rockery, which was a fragrant peony. Although it was still night, I could still see the clusters of white flowers. The fragrance was drifting with the wind.

When he turned around the corner, he could see a pavilion. A woman in light blue was playing a zither. She didn't seem to have noticed as her grumbling voice stopped.

The zither music was the best at understanding the hearts of humans. At this moment, her heart was definitely filled with complex emotions.

"I'm here." He didn't perform the ceremony, he only lightly said.

He was still quite a few steps away from the pavilion, so he had no intention of going forward.

How could she be so beautiful? How could she be so devastatingly beautiful? Her raised face was partially hidden by the darkness of the pavilion. Her eyes were bright and translucent. The tears that had leaked out from her eyes slowly slid down like that.

It was as if I could hear the heartache in his voice. Who knew that the smile of a beauty would cause a beauty like her to appear so alluring? It was likely that everyone in the world would let her, who was like this, soak in the water until she turned soft.

He took my hand and squeezed it so hard it hurt.

She held onto the pillar and stood up, biting her lips as if she was about to cry. She looked at him pitifully.

However, he chuckled and lowered his head to look at me gently. "Zhiqiu, why didn't you greet the Imperial Concubine?"

It was so easy to say that he didn't know his fingers were hurting me.

I lowered my head and softly said, "This humble girl, Yun Zhiqiu, greets the imperial concubine."

"Jun Tang." The word 'soft' was spoken with a sobbing tone, full of grievance. She shook her head, and her tears fell like rain. "Don't do this to me, alright?"

"I'm sorry, Imperial Concubine." He said those words weakly.

"Don't treat me like this. I feel so bad!" She put a hand on her chest and gasped for breath. Then she coughed again, barely able to stand on her feet, and leaned against the pillar to steady herself.

I sighed in my heart. I took my hand away from Xia Junchang and said softly, "I'll wait for you outside. Remember, it's only for a moment."

It seems that I don't want him to fall back in again.

That was the abyss that could fall to one's death. Really, to the point of disregarding everything else?

The truth of the matter was that life still had many things to take into account.

How could I bear it? Looking at her in such pain, when I saw her tears falling like rain, I felt like an executioner, cutting into her heart. I also looted what was hers.

I walked lightly out of the flower path, out of the thick aroma of the peony, out of this painful place.

Moonlight shining, I sat on the rock, quietly looking at my palm, I will be sad.

She called me Jun Tang, which made my heart sour.

I didn't hear footsteps coming, I just waited,

"Whap." With a bang, a fan hit my palm, causing me to turn my head in pain.

There was a shadow in front of my eyes. His face was hidden in the shadows, making me unable to see clearly. It was just that a faint fragrance was mixed within the thick and solemn atmosphere, making me feel extremely disordered.

My first thought was to run.

The fan smacked down on my palm again, causing me to wince in pain.

I finally knew what it meant to be unlucky.

He had met him. He was dressed in black and had an imposing manner.

"Well, you came to get a beating yourself." His body leaned forward and his face floated up out of the shadows. With his lips curled up into a smile, he said, "Yun Zhiqiu! Yun Zhiqiu! I don't know how long it will take until I die!"

I swallowed, my mind blank, my feet powerless.

The fragrance on his body felt like it would make one unable to breathe properly. His black eyes shone with the light of prey, faint and faint like that of a wolf's.
