The Nuanfang Hall was quiet that day.

As the wedding time approached, Xiao Cuixin became more and more irritable. Her room had two doors, just opposite from north to south. When she went out from the back door, she arrived at the inner courtyard. There was a three-story attic where Lu Siyi watched the scenery during the day and the moon at night. Xiao Cuixin lived in the back of Nuanfang Hall, and only cared about depression every day, and rarely went to the backyard.

It started drizzling on the day, and in the evening, the rain gradually stopped. Xiao Cuixin took advantage of the great time to walk to the attic alone to relax. The sun was hanging in the west sky, emitting a soft light. The many mountains outside Kaifeng City looked particularly green under the reflection of the setting sun. On the dense branches in the palace, there were countless birds standing there, silently staring at the ground, as if thinking about something. The elves in the sky seemed to detect the changes in the sky, snuggling closely with each other, composing a sunset song.

Standing at the highest point of Nuanfang Hall and looking at the densely packed birds on the treetops, Xiao Cuixin felt very lonely. "I really envy those birds, who can be paired together, not like me being alone."

When she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel sad: "There are thousands of guards in the palace to protect me. Can I escape like a weak woman? Brother Yang, where are you? Do you know how much I miss you? If you are still in the world, would you miss me like this?" Until then, she was still concerned about her fiancé.

The sun slowly sets, and the sky gradually darkens. The mountains in the distance also become deeper, blending into one with the heaven and earth. The sun hangs on the mountain peaks and slowly slides down the mountain, leaving only a little light. The sky and the earth suddenly become quiet, as if to witness this sacred moment. However, in just a moment, the sunset disappeared without a trace. Seeing this scene, Xiao Cuixin shook her head and sobbed and said, "It is hard to part when we meet! This world has been full of joys and sorrows from ancient times to the present, and even the sacred sun cannot be spared!" She had not yet experienced such deep meaning in the past, and she was moved by the scene today, and she couldn't help but sigh.

After the sunset set, the entire Nuanfang Hall became lifeless. Xiao Cuixin came down from the attic and returned to the room and closed the windows and doors.

Dozens of Liao guards guarded the exit of the palace and did not dare to neglect at all.

Lu Wanli sat on a stone bench, looking at the empty palace, thinking: "The uterine maids have not approached me these days. Is it because I did not agree to the princess' request?" As the head of the Liao Dynasty's Imperial Corps, although he sympathized with the princess' experience, he had to act according to the emperor's will. Yelu Deguang had betrothed the princess to Lu Zhicheng, and he would definitely not cancel the engagement easily.

Lu Wanli sat outside the hall for two hours before he found a palace maid hurriedly picked up the plate and walked by. He couldn't help but curiosity, and hurriedly stopped the palace maid and asked, "I haven't seen the princess for several days. Is everything okay?"

The palace maid tiptoed and replied tremblingly: "Sir, the princess is still good. She was a little hungry just now and told us to send dinner."

Lu Wanli glanced at the palace maid and asked, "Can you princess mention the wedding next day?" The palace maid nodded and said in a slow voice: "The princess actually refused to agree to this marriage, but considering that the emperor had agreed to Lu Zhicheng, she no longer made unnecessary struggles." Lu Wanli sighed and said slowly: "It is really rare for the princess to be able to understand the righteousness and to be wronged by herself to attend the wedding. Please say hello to the princess on my behalf!"

The palace maid said softly: "Of course. The princess said that Lord Lu and the guards have worked hard these days, and she always feels miserable." Lu Wanli said in harmony: "Princess is polite. It is our responsibility to be loyal to the duties. As long as she can live well, we will be relieved." A trace of sorrow flashed across the palace maid's face, and she did not reply. She squatted down and saluted and walked away quickly.

When Lu Wanli saw her leaving, she felt something strange inside, but she did not point it in front of her. When the palace maid walked away, he walked to Xiao Cui's heart, leaned over and approached the window, and heard a soft crying sound inside. Lu Wanli was stunned, stretched out his hand and poked a small hole in the window paper, looking into the room with her face.

Xiao Cuixin didn't know anyone was peeping at her. While using a handkerchief to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, she complained: "Brother Yang, where are you? Do you know how painful I have been in the past few months? Without you by my side, I wouldn't want to live a day." After she said that, she raised her long sword and placed it on her neck, dazed in a daze towards the back door.

Lu Wanli thought she was going to find a short-sighted view, so she kicked open the door and entered. Xiao Cuixin was shocked, turned around and looked at him, and said angrily: "Mr. Lu, don't come over, otherwise I will really commit suicide." Lu Wanli quickly stretched out his right hand to stop him and said: "Princess, you are a golden branch and a jade leaf, so you must not do stupid things!"

Xiao Cuixin did not answer, still holding the long sword in his hand, and quickly walked towards the back door. Lu Wanli was worried about the safety of the princess, and remembered the emperor's instructions and did not dare to chase him. After a while, he chased out of the house, and at this time Xiao Cuixin had already climbed to the attic.

Seeing that the attic was more than ten feet high and there was no protective fence around it. If it accidentally fell from above, there was almost no chance of being spared, so Lu Wanli said loudly: "Princess, it's too high, please come down quickly."

Xiao Cuixin was not willing to listen to him, but just cried and said, "Mr. Lu, please tell the Emperor, that there is only Brother Yang in my heart. Even if he dies, I will go to the underworld with him. We will be husband and wife for generations." As soon as she finished speaking, she jumped out of the wall of Nuanfang Hall.

Without too much thought, Lu Wanli quickly jumped to the third floor, but was still one step late. He was about to jump down to save the person, but he saw a white figure floating under the wall and just caught Xiao Cuixin's body.

Lu Wanli looked carefully and couldn't help but feel a little shocked. This man was Le Yiyang who had been missing for many days.

During the day, Le Yiyang learned about his fiancée's recent situation from the Liao army. Thinking that her situation was very dangerous, he quickly rode his horse and whipped to Kaifeng City, and sneaked into the palace in the dark. He came with Feng Ruoxiang once half a year ago and was not unfamiliar with the location of Nuanfang Hall. He saw that there were guards of Liao Kingdom everywhere outside the hall, and he didn't want to startle the snakes too early, so he quietly walked around outside the wall behind the hall.

There was God's will in the dark. Le Yiyang happened to hear his fiancée's heartfelt words and was particularly moved. When Xiao Cui's heartbeats, he hurriedly flew over to catch it. The two of them separated for several months and finally met again.
