"Qian'er, you woke up so soon, don't you sleep for a while?"

The woman forcibly stood up and sat upright, hiding her weakness and pain without a trace.

"Don't sleep, you go and call Hanyun, I have something to discuss with him."

The corners of Zhou Hong's lips hooked a light smile, as if she saw her thoughts, and said with a frown: "You don't have to worry, if you can't solve the case within the time limit, the emperor will investigate it, and I will die with you!" I won't leave you alone anymore. ”

"Nonsense, I won't give up until the last minute. Even if I leave in the future, you must be alive and well, do you hear? The woman's face became unusually serious.

"What's the point of living alone in this world without you?"

When Xiao Qian heard Zhou Hong's faint reply, her heart suddenly shook, and a burst of uncomfortable feelings poured out from the depths of her heart.

If she really leaves, how many friends and family members will be in pain, and who will lose the purpose and meaning of life like Brother Zhou.

"There's a question I want to ask you, sometimes you look like a helper, sometimes you don't. If you really aren't him, please don't approach me with his identity again, because you have succeeded in making me accept you, you can stay with me now with Zhou Hong's identity, I can not blame the past, we are still good friends, can we treat each other calmly? ”

Hearing this Bai Xiaoqian's words, Zhou Hong's heart suddenly twitched, his eyes were complicated, and he smiled evilly, which meant endlessly.

"Even you don't believe me, if I really had any purpose and intention, I wouldn't have shot at you a long time ago. Even you suspect that I was sent by Zhao Yan? ”

"You seem to be very afraid that Zhao Yan is like this, that fear comes from the bottom of your heart. The helper I know is a real man who is not afraid of heaven and earth! ”

Zhou Hong's face was sad and complicated, and he smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid of the female devil, I'm afraid that I will lose you!" I'm afraid she'll hurt you, and my power can't protect you, do you know how deep that fear is? If you've ever loved a man deeply, you'll experience it if you think about it. ”

Xiao Qian's heart was touched for a while, and she felt an unspeakable pain coming to her heart, and she could fully understand that feeling. Now she is also struggling and conflicted. She lives to harm the people she loves and cares about the most, but her death will also hurt them, she is afraid that if she chooses to die, she will not be able to protect them, and they still have to endure the endless torture of the female demon. What is the way to protect my friends, family, and loved ones?

"Come on, let's drink the medicine first." Zhou Hong smiled brightly.

"Can I not drink it? It's really a bitter list. ”

"Do you remember how you forcibly fed me medicine before, do you want me to concoct it according to the law?" The man's face was smirked and playful.

"I miss everything that happened under the cliff of despair, and when everything here is over, how about we go and relive the old dreams?"

At this time, Zhou Hong's eyes looking at Xiaoqian were really complicated, he seemed to have fallen, he fell in love with her, and he knew that this was not okay! The eyes seemed to be with three points of surprise, three points of struggle, three points of confusion, and a point of almost imperceptible sadness. That handsome face was colorful, and I don't know what kind of expression it was.

When the distance and expressions of the two were a little warm, Han Yun and the emperor entered the room to visit her at the same time, Xiao Qian was very surprised, the emperor would come so much at this juncture?

She hurriedly got up and said goodbye. Breaking the slightly embarrassing atmosphere, he said eagerly: "The emperor will definitely catch the murderer before tonight, if I can't do it, I will definitely apologize, please believe me." ”

"I heard that you are sick, I came to visit you, as for solving the case, I have already arrested the real murderer, and the reason why I was able to successfully catch the murderer princess is really indispensable. Now this thing is no longer needed. As he spoke, the emperor took out the life and death form and tore it to pieces.

Han Yun explained on the side: "Don't blame the emperor, the life and death situation is just a trick used by the emperor to confuse the murderer, in fact, the emperor is the real person in charge of this case." ”

Bai Xiaoqian's face can be described in black characters, she was tricked by the emperor like this, she resisted the urge to scold her mother, and asked, "Dare to ask who the real murderer is?" ”

"It's the Ghost King."

"Hahaha-" The woman couldn't help but let out a sneer.

"Ghost King? I sent a lot of guards to arrest him, but there was no trace of him. Your Majesty, how did you catch him? ”

"Princess Anguo, you are no longer the investigator of this case. This case has been successfully concluded, and I don't want you to get involved in this case anymore. ”

"If you say withdraw, you can't joke." Xiao Qianxin muttered unwillingly, she didn't want to complain, but the emperor was too childish. How could she not be resentful, and even tear up the life and death situation.

The woman could only smile bitterly, speechless: "First, the ghost king is not a real murderer!" Second, although I was put on the table, I will not give up on tracking down the real culprit. Even if the four secret guards can't help me now, I will only continue to investigate the murder case as an individual, and I have nothing to do with the imperial court. ”

"How can you be so stubborn? Forget it, it's up to you, I heard that you have a painting here here who has been sticking to you shamelessly, is that him? ”

The emperor glanced at Zhou Hong as if he was nonchalant, and that glance was so contemptuous and cold.

Xiao Qianyileng, painting? Your Majesty, do you want to look down on people so much, painting is also a technical job, this is not a three-way religion. It's art, you know?! Xiao Qian almost rolled her eyes angrily, she didn't want the emperor to despise and insult her friend like this.

"Please respect my friend, even if it is the emperor, please pay attention to your words! A person of honor like you should not say such things that do not deserve your status! Xiao Qian sneered at each other without showing weakness.

"Friends? Haha - he is the work of the enemy country, and someone will take him away! The emperor's tone was threatening and cold.

Xiao Qian's expression was suffocated, and he immediately asked nervously: "The enemy country is fine?" Are you talking about Brother Zhou? How is this possible?! ”

The door opened, and the secret guard came in with a few men, who testified that Zhou Hong was the son of Tsing Yi, that is, one of Emperor Zhao's many private slaves, and that he instructed these people to come to Xuanwu to do fine work, and spread rumors everywhere to smear Princess Anguo.

Xiao Qian listened quietly, looked at Zhou Hong with a very heavy face, and gritted her teeth: "Do you have an explanation?" ”

"Do you believe it?" Zhou Hong didn't answer the rhetorical question, and smiled calmly.

"I don't know either, but I want to believe you, I'm really afraid that you are lying to me, and I have not suffered enough pain, sorrow, betrayal, and hardship?!" The woman's voice revealed infinite exhaustion and grief.

"I am innocent. The shadows are framing me, and there is no excuse for the sin they want to add!" Zhou Hong was not nervous at all, and even had a calm face on the sidelines.

"Take it away!" The shadow gave an order, and the two secret guards pressed Zhou Hong to leave.

Qian'er looked at the back that was dragging his slow pace and gradually moving away. Suddenly uncomfortable and unacceptable, she hurriedly chased out, "Wait, don't go yet!" ”

"Can you not take him away? Your Majesty, he is not a meticulous work of an enemy country, he is my friend! ”

"You still don't believe it, do you have to really help the master to show up, you can tell the truth, then I will tell you who the real helper is!"

Xiao Qian listened intently to what the emperor would say next, but the emperor's face changed. Stuck there.

Xiao Qian felt that something was wrong, and suddenly a black beast came out of it without knowing it, and the woman was startled and quickly pushed the emperor away, but she had no time to dodge. The beast opened its bloody mouth and bit directly on Xiao Qian's left arm.

It's over, it seems that this left hand is destined to be crippled. But Xiao never expected that at the last moment, the beast bit his arm not his own, but Zhou Hong's!

"Brother Zhou, you are crazy, why did you sacrifice your life to save me again?!"

Xiao Qian was extremely excited, and gave him the blood clotting pill as soon as possible, sealing the acupuncture points on his shoulders. Without hesitation, he tore off his sleeve to help Zhou Hong stop the bleeding first.

"It's okay, as long as you're okay—" The corners of Zhou Hong's mouth hooked up a light and fearless smile. Pale from too much bleeding.

One of them, who wore a Taoist uniform, laughed loudly: "My pet is amazing, the black monster you came to save me, the black monster is going to bite that woman to death now!" I'm finally able to get back on my mission."

Although the monster was fierce, it was instantly killed by a master's amazing sword aura. The black monster that was killed turned out to be a human when it looked closely, but this person had mutated and turned into a half-human, half-beast monster.

And this fine work took advantage of the chaos to run, but was captured alive by the secret guards, Bai Xiaoqian walked in and asked: "Your nose is very smart, right?" Okay, I'm going to try you, two guards over there came over and blindfolded him. ”

Xiao Qian did a simple experiment, and one of the two secret guards smeared incense powder, but this fine work was completely wrong. It can be seen that he is lying, and his sense of smell is not even as good as that of a normal person.

"Why do you lie to a good person?"

"I was beaten into a trick, and it was that man who asked me to make up some smell nonsense to frame this son, in fact, he didn't know that my nose was injured many years ago and I lost my sense of smell."

"Stinky Daoist, what nonsense are you talking about! Zhou Hong, this hypocrite, it turns out that this is a trick of your meticulous subordinates, I will kill you now! Even a capable person as old and capable as Shadow was a little annoyed, and his knife went straight to Zhou Hong's vital point.

Bai Xiaoqian's expression was furious, Zhou Hong lost an arm in order to save him, she resolutely stood in front of Zhou Hong, she didn't allow anyone to hurt him anymore.

"You've gone too far! If you want to kill him, kill me first!! Brother Zhou has lost an arm because he saved me, and you are still suspicious and squeezing him, and even framing him! Shadows, phantoms, get out of here before I hurt you! ”

The faces of the shadow and the phantom were blue at the same time, they didn't expect that this would be a game that Zhou Hong had set up in advance, and he used one arm in exchange for Bai Xiaoqian's trust in him! Amazing!!

"May I interject a word? Shadows, phantoms are trustworthy friends, they care about you unreservedly, those who really care about you are your true friends, how lucky I am in my lifetime to have made friends with your group of irreversible friends, I really don't want to see you become the opposite situation now. ”

Xiao Qian didn't want to evolve like this, she sighed deeply, and said: "I cherish friendship, all the people I make here are a kind of fate, because it is something that can be met but not sought, we are attracted to each other, our relationship is strong, and there is nothing more beautiful in the world than friendship." But I'm really disappointed with some people tonight, I'm not right about people, I don't want to pursue today's matter anymore, please leave, let me be quiet! ”
