After the stream murmured around the dense forest and cultivated bamboo, a few whitebait happily went down the river and disappeared.

In the always quiet and somewhat gloomy Lily of the Valley Pavilion, the whole courtyard seems to have been rejuvenated since the castle lord's wife gradually improved and stopped being sick.

Last night, there was a heavy rain, and the branches and leaves in the courtyard were more green and vibrant, and clusters of small buds on a cherry tree outside the window hung on the branches, which was very playful and cute.

Wangxiang pushed open the window, took a deep breath of the morning air, and happily turned back to the woman sitting in front of the dressing mirror and said: "Madame, this year's cherry blossom trees are finally going to bloom, I have never seen what cherry blossoms look like in the years I have been in the courtyard, look at these pink stamens, if they bloom on the branches, they must be very beautiful!"

Yao Jinling combed her hair quietly, although her face looked much better, her hair was still yellow like straw, she frowned slightly, "Forget the fragrance, get hair oil for me." ”

Forget Xiang hurriedly turned around and took out the porcelain bottle that had been sealed for a long time and exuded the fragrance of cinnamon from the cabinet, opened the cap, took out some evenly, and gently wiped it on the ends of Yao Jinling's hair.

Forget Xiang looked at the makeup of the person in the mirror, and said with a smile: "Madame is so good-looking today, by the way, Miss Nanxing left a box of lipstick for Madame before leaving, and she said that it was a birthday gift for Madame." Wangxiang took out the wooden box, took out a small flat porcelain bottle from it and handed it to Yao Jinling.

Yao Jinling picked up the porcelain bottle and opened the lid, a sweet aroma came to her nose, and she was very happy when she smelled it, "She is a wonderful person, if... Oh, it's a pity. She sneered and murmured in a plausible whisper, dipping her fingertips into her lips and gently sipping them open, adding a little color to her powdered countenance.

"Ah, it's really as Miss Nanxing said, it's very suitable for Madame!" said Wangxiang.

Yao Jinling chuckled: "You girl, you look good at everything, and you can't hear the truth in your mouth." ”

"Hmph, don't believe it, madam, if you see the castle lord coming for a while, you will definitely be amazed!" Forget Xiang was very grateful to You Xue in her heart, if it weren't for her, her wife would not be able to sit in front of the dressing mirror and no longer be lifeless and close herself.

At this moment, someone outside the door announced, "Madam, the lord of the castle asks Madame to have breakfast first, he has something to deal with, and he can come over at dinner." ”

Yao Jinling put down her lipstick, frowned, and said, "Do you know what it is?"

The little girl in Tsing Yi outside the door was a little sneering, and he was entangled for a long time before kneeling down and said, "It's still a matter of the racecourse." He carried the food box and put it on the table, "The lord of the castle specially ordered the kitchen to make red candy and ordered his subordinates to bring it to his wife while it was hot." ”

"Got it, you go, and remember to remind him to eat on time, don't be too busy to forget. ”

"Madame, don't worry, your subordinates can save it!"

"The lord of the castle is really very good to Madame, after Madame's health improves, he does not drop this snack every day, and knows that Madame loves to eat it the most. ”

Yao Jinling looked at the contents of the food box, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.

Forget Xiang muttered again, "But it's really strange, there are no new horses in the castle this year, how can I get horse plague so well? ”

"yes, it never happened. Yao Jinling squinted at the hideous and terrifying cobweb-like green tendons under her pale skin: "Is the altar all arranged?"

Forget Xiang replied: "It's all arranged, just wait for the castle lord and lady to go." ”

"Don't wait for him, let's go. She got up, and two other maids dressed her in the ornate white cloud robes that the sacrifice wore only for her.

"Madame......" Wangxiang suddenly hesitated and timidly asked, "Is this really good?

Yao Jinling knew that the 'over there' mentioned by Forget Xiang referred to the Huoluo Sect.

There was a cold hatred in her eyes, but she didn't explain: "Let's go!"

Standing on the top of the towering cloud peak, the distant mountain cliffs are covered with white mist, the gray and misty world is connected into an ink landscape painting, and the verdant mid-mountain reflects the eaves that stand on the top of the Cangyue Ridge and the magnificent castle.

The breeze on the top of the mountain in the early morning was a little cold, You Xue tightened her cloak, and she couldn't help but ask in doubt: "Aunt Qiong, do you have any relationship with Flying Eagle Castle?"

"Origins?huh...... Bad fate!" She sneered and snorted: "Well, after this incident, I will no longer owe anything." ”

"Uh...... Could it be that you're here to heal the castle lord's wife?"

Qiong Qi's eyes were cold, "Do you know about that woman?"

You Xue nodded, "She fell for the 'Night Greeting' of the Dove Spirit Clan! I have seen her sick with my own eyes, it is really terrible! Aunt Qiong, can you cure this poison?" You Xue didn't say what she thought for the time being, she wanted to hear what Aunt Qiong had to say.

It's just that to her disappointment, Qiong Qi shook her head: "It seems that you have had a lot of encounters along the way, so it's okay." It's just that I'm not here to save her, I'm here to give her a happy end!"

In the courtyard, maids hold flowers on both sides, and in front of the sacrifice table, there are various tribute incense burners.

A pair of plain hands reached into the copper basin to receive the rootless dew to clean the hands, took the white towel handed over by the incense to wipe it dry, picked up nine sticks of incense, lit it, raised it above its forehead, and prayed sincerely in the white smoke.

She vaguely had a similar scene in her childhood memory.

These days, she always recalls those fragmentary fragments, it turns out that those are not her delusions, not dreams, not the past life that the sect leader said.

She is not surnamed Yao, so she is always recalling the sporadic memories before the age of five, those hateful or amiable faces, those sad or happy voices and smiles, more and more clear in her memory.

It's just that she still can't figure out why those flesh and blood relatives pushed her into this quagmire, and she is ignorant and ignorant, and she has fallen into this far, step by step.

The Nanxing girl was right, she couldn't sink any longer, otherwise, the man who loved her so much would be too bitter.

If the gods and Buddhas have spirits, please help me today, kill the evil demons, and restore the peace of the Eagle Castle!

I, Lan Xin'er, have committed many sins in my life and killed countless people, and I am willing to sacrifice my body in exchange for my husband and my eternal peace.

In the mountain trail, the two walked slowly.

"Aunt Qiong, which idler developed the poison of this 'Yehe', it's simply too vicious!"

You Xue was still unwilling, and she was a little sure that the old lady in front of her should have a way to save the poor castle lord's wife, so she turned around along the way and tried to trap her.

"Treating poison with poison is commonplace, but you are too little and naïve!"

You Xue's face flushed, and she said in her heart that she was not an innocent person, but she was ...... She gritted her teeth and said, "I heard that this poison did not come from the Gu Ling Clan, but spread in the mysterious and distant Li Kingdom that has been annihilated. After speaking, she peeked at the old lady's face.

I saw Qiong Qi snort: "That woman told you, right?"

Well, You Xue found that in this world, none of the people she met were happy, they all looked bitter and hateful.

"Aunt Qiong, I used medicine to inhibit the vitality of the Gu worms in her body, and maybe I can save it. You Xue finally confessed honestly and told her what she thought.

After hearing this, Qiong Qi's snow-white eyebrows raised slightly, as if she felt very incredible and a little happy, but You Xue could see that she was nothing more than that, and she had no intention of saving people.

Sure enough, Qiong Qi said: "I really didn't misunderstand you, it's just ......" She suddenly stopped, her eyes were cold, and she pointed to the figures galloping past on the mountain road where she could see the speed, and said lightly: "Some people can't meet them, and some people can't be saved, it's all bad fate." ”

You Xue waited in astonishment for the familiar figures below who were beating horses, subconsciously stroked the purple hosta in the purse around her waist, and said suspiciously: "It's strange, he obviously didn't go to Tongguan, why did he turn back to Shuoling Mountain, he wouldn't be looking for me, right?"

Qiong Qi looked at her expression, and a few traces of pity flashed on her face full of ravines.

"Do you know who Yao Jinling is?" she asked suddenly.

You Xue was pulled back to her thoughts by this topic, looked at Qiong Qi, and said, "Besides the Flying Eagle Castle Lord Lady, what other mysterious origin does she have?"

Qiong Qi sneered: "She is the Holy Maiden of the Huoluo Sect. ”

You Xue: "......" is similar to the existence of a demon witch or something like that when I hear it, "But isn't she breaking away from the Huoluo Sect?" But now that I think about it, it is true that this Yao Jinling is very suspicious, saying that she is breaking away from the sect, there are still many taboos.

"You know a lot," the old lady stood with her hands in her hands, quite a bit of the appearance of a fairy wind Daogu, "she entered the Fire Luo Sect at the age of five, because of the ability of prophecy, was worshiped as a holy woman, among the people at that time, she was called a goddess, until seven years ago, she predicted that the ancient Lan Kingdom would go to the north of the army will be wiped out without a lifetime, so, it caused the rebellion of the city, in the chaos, she was seriously injured and fell off the altar, disappeared for a few months, and became the wife of the lord of the Flying Eagle Castle, hehe......"

You Xue listened to the old lady's sad smile and was furious, she endured goosebumps and said, "So she's just a?"

A sharp cold light flashed in Qiong Qi's eyes: "Do you think that's all it is?" She strode up the mountain with her sleeves and said: "Wandering around the countries as a saint, eradicating dissidents, from kings and grandsons to innocent people, do you think that the so-called goddess is just using her mouth to fool a group of fools?"

"......" You Xue opened her mouth to say something, but finally just nodded: "It's me who has little knowledge......

Qiong Qi looked at her pure eyes and sighed deeply, she couldn't bear to mention the unfinished words.

"Nanxing," Qiong Qi called to her suddenly.

You Xue was at a loss, and it took a long time to respond: "Aunt Qiong, there is no one at this time, can you call me by my real name?" she said distressedly, "I really don't like to carry a fake identity." ”

"Are you following me because of Yun Ze?"

You Xue was poked by her, and she didn't hide it: "His eldest brother also won the 'Yehe', so I was going to look for you and wanted to ......"

Qiong Qi interrupted, "Do you know who his eldest brother is?"

You Xue faintly guessed, but at this moment, looking at Qiong Qi's deep and obscure eyes, she said, "Is it the king of the Gulan Kingdom?"

"Now that you know... If I have a way to heal, I should do my best, but I hope you don't regret it in the future!"

You Xue's head began to ache again, "Where does this start, why should I regret it......?"

Qiong Qi took a deep look at her, and didn't say any more, but turned her head and continued to walk forward.
