Nalan Jingxue was bored and leaned on a coiled dragon pillar in the prayer hall, looking around at the murals on the walls of the hall.

The content of the mural is the story of the ancestors of the Sikong royal family who opened up the territory and established the Dahu, and the picture is exquisite and the color is intense, with a strong traditional color of the Hu country.

Xiao Shunzi stood respectfully with his hands down on the side, and he didn't dare to say anything.

He had been standing in the prayer hall for almost a day, from coming in the morning until just now, there was not even a change of people, hungry, but without Sikong Jue's answer, he didn't dare to leave half a step.

In fact, not only him, but all the people in the New Year's Hall are not exhausted, except for the uncle who is standing against the pillar.

After he came out of the secret room, he enjoyed a pot of fragrant tea made by Xiao Shunzi and ate a few pastries from the imperial dining room.

After a long time, Sikong Jue walked out of the secret room with a tired body.

"Confirmed." Nalan Jingxue smiled faintly and straightened her body, "My thing has been done, what about the person I want?" ”

"Nalan Gongzi went out of Beijing from the south gate and went to Hanmei Slope ten miles on the outskirts of Beijing, on the side of Luomei Bridge, there is a pavilion, called Fengwan Pavilion, and the person you want is there." Sikong Jue said slowly, "I also ask Prince Nalan to keep his promise." If you get what you want, leave. ”

"Do you think I'm willing to have anything to do with you?" Nalan Jingxue snorted lightly, "I just hope you don't break your promise!" ”

"Please." Sikong Jue took a step back, the door of the Prayer Hall was opened by Xiao Shunzi, and the last ray of sunlight of the day was reflected obliquely from the open door, bringing a ray of light to the dark Prayer Hall. I don't know when, the sky cleared for a short time, and the setting sun reflected most of the sky, shrouding the palace in an orange sunset, which seemed to bring some vitality to this century-old building that had been silent for a long time.

Nalan Jingxue walked out of the New Year's Prayer Hall, and a car that had been prepared long ago stopped in front of the New Year's Prayer Hall, "Please also ask the son to get in the car." ”

A man dressed as a guard stood in front of the car and opened the curtain for him.

"Pretty well prepared." Nalan Jingxue glanced back at Sikong Jue who was standing in the door of the New Year Prayer Hall.

The sunset stretched his shadow very long, obliquely reflected in the prayer hall, he stood still, solemnly looked at Nalan Jingxue standing on the side of the carriage, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and he was silent.

"Don't leave it at that." Nalan Jingxue still nodded politely.

"I hope I never see you." Sikong Jue's voice came slowly, and the smile in Nalan Jingxue's eyes became a little thicker, "Also, when we meet in the future, there must be nothing good." He flicked his wide sleeves uninhibitedly, turned around and jumped into the carriage.

The guard bowed to Sikong Jue, and then drove slowly out of the prayer hall.

"I'm not one to be afraid of trouble." Nalan Jingxue's voice floated from afar, "If you have business to do, just look for me." There was a bit of playfulness in his voice, which made Sikong Jue's brows furrow deeply, and at the same time, a white dove rose from the depths of the palace, flapped its wings, and disappeared into the sunset.

～～～～

Su Rui and Sikong Jin snuggled up to each other, and before they knew it, time flew by, and they looked up inadvertently, and it was already waning.

The Fengwan Pavilion is located at the highest point of the hill, in the shade of a few plum trees, there is a bit of a mood. Su Rui and Sikong Jin were tired of walking, so they came in here, and Liuli had already cleaned up the place, and placed a carbon stove at their feet.

Although it was freezing outside, Sikong Jin wrapped Su Rui tightly with his own cloak, and took her into his arms, shielding her from all the cold wind. Their feet were warmed by the charcoal stove, so Suri didn't feel cold at all.

"It's weird, there's a little snow in the afternoon, and it's sunny now." Su Rui nestled in the warm embrace of Nalan Jingxue, looked at the orange sky in the west that was reflected by the twilight, and said with a smile.

The clouds in the sky are still not thin, but the sunlight is reflected through the gaps in the clouds, plating a layer of heavy gold for the sky.

"It's beautiful." Su Rui looked at the sunset on the horizon and said with infinite embarrassment, "Good time is always so short, how good it would be if time could stay at this moment." ”

Sikong Jin looked at the little face revealed in her arms, and the afterglow of the setting sun also dyed her face a faint crimson, she was as fresh and beautiful as a fairy in the sky, and accidentally fell into her arms.

In her starry eyes was the magnificent beauty of the sunset, and the only beauty in his eyes was her. Even the scar on her forehead became less important, the important thing was that she was alive, in her arms.

"Lord Wang. Letter from the capital. Ruri hurried over and disturbed the couple who were snuggling up to each other in the sunset.

Sikong Jin's complexion suddenly turned pale.

"Did something happen?" Su Rui, who was nestled in Sikong Jin's arms, felt Sikong Jin's back tighten. She looked up from his arms and looked at the man who was holding her tightly.

"Don't you read the letter?" Suri asked.

Sikong Jin smiled reluctantly, and took the bamboo tube with his free hand, there was not a word on the letterhead in the bamboo tube, but there was a touch of blood-like red, which was drawn by a red pen, and this vermilion color was like a sword, which was instantly inserted into Sikong Jin's heart, making it difficult for him to even breathe. He rubbed the letterhead with a vermilion mark into his palm fiercely, so that the letterhead instantly turned into powder.

"Is there something going on in the capital?" Su Rui slowly propped up his body.

Sikong Jin's cloak slipped off her shoulders, and she quickly grabbed it.

"Stand down. Don't let people come and disturb you. Sikong Jin said to Liuli.

Ruri nodded and stepped back.

Sikong Jin flicked his fingers, and the wind curtains that were rolled up around the pavilion quickly fell. Isolate the people inside the pavilion from the outside world.

Su Rui stood up a little strangely, the white curtain fell, the light in the pavilion dropped sharply, and she could only look at Sikong Jin dimly, "Aren't we going back to Beijing?" Suri asked. Isn't there something going on in the capital? ”

Sikong Jin's handsome face looked a little blurry in the dark light, but Su Rui vaguely felt her heart skip a beat, as if something wrong was about to happen, and even her eyelids were beating slightly.

The atmosphere in the pavilion was instantly made strange by the falling white wind curtain.

There were a few crows chirping in Su Rui's ears, and it was not surprising that there were many crows in Hu Country, but in this situation, the noisy crow crow seemed to carry some ominous signs.

"What's wrong?" Su Rui asked uneasily, "Why didn't you speak?" ”

"Suri." Sikong Jin stepped forward slowly, stretched out his arms, and hugged Su Rui tightly, with a little choking in his voice.

"What's going on?" Su Rui's uneasy voice trembled a little, she let Sikong Jin take herself into her arms, and asked softly, "Did something happen to my father?" Shall we rush back to the capital immediately? ”

"Father is very good." Sikong Jin said slowly, and there was sadness in his voice.

"Is that something else going on?" Su Rui's uneasiness grew, she raised her head to look at Sikong Jin's infinitely beautiful chin, and asked.

"Yes." Sikong Jin nodded, his lowered eyes staring at Su Rui in his arms, and there was a dead silence in his eyes.

Suri in his arms was like a frightened bunny, looking at himself a little panicked.

Looking at her clear eyes, Sikong Jin felt that he couldn't do it.

The short blade hidden in the sleeve robe cut his palm deeply, and bursts of stinging pain struck, but it still couldn't withstand the pain in his heart.

"Shall we go back?" Su Rui said a little flustered, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually turned into a trace of panic. It was something she had never felt before.

She had never seen Sikong Jin with such eyes, and it seemed that there was darkness in his eyes, and she couldn't see any life.

Something must have happened.

"I'm sorry." Sikong Jin muttered, "I'm sorry! ”

He finally got his heart crossed, and the short blade suddenly flipped out, stabbing deep into Suri's body from the back.

The pain was accompanied by a bone-chilling cold.

Su Rui only exclaimed softly, and looked at the man who was still holding him in his arms with disbelief.

It really hurt, and Suri could feel the chill from the short blade piercing into his chest.

But...... Why?

She didn't cry, she didn't struggle, she just looked at Sikong Jin quietly, those bright eyes were full of his images, but his eyes were already full of tears, falling arbitrarily, tears like beads of ice, falling on Su Rui's face, shattering, turning into more small tears and sliding down.

"I'm sorry." A heart-wrenching cry burst out of Sikong Jin's chest, and his tears could no longer be stopped.

The body in her arms was gradually getting colder, but her eyes were the same, just looking at herself clearly.

He couldn't see her joy and sorrow in his hazy teary eyes.

She is like a statue, frozen there forever.

"Suri ......" he called out her name as he slammed the blade into her heart again.

"If that's what you want," Suri took a deep breath, a mouthful of blood gushing up from her chest, and as soon as she spoke, blood flowed from the corners of her mouth and landed on the placket of Sikong Jin's clothes, staining his white placket a shocking red.

"I will break with you." Su Rui struggled with the last bit of strength to break free of Sikong Jin's embrace, she quickly took a few steps back and fell to the ground.

"Suri. Wait for me. If I can't accompany you in this life, I will definitely repay it in my next life. Sikong Jin was already in tears, he didn't expect that he would be in such pain, and it was difficult for him to stand up straight in pain.

He wanted to walk over, but looking at her gradually cold gaze, he suddenly lost the courage to walk over.

His stab was extremely precise, straight to the heart.

He has been practicing martial arts for many years and knows where the heart is, so there is no deviation.

"No need." Su Rui suddenly laughed, a mouthful of blood spurted out again, she smiled very easily, as if she had let go of all the qiē, and had no worries, "If there is an afterlife, I would rather never know you." ”

Su Rui's words were like a sharp blade that deeply cut open Sikong Jin's heart, cutting his body to the ground, and his heart was also broken into pieces.

"Don't do this to me." Sikong Jin still rushed over, hugged Su Rui, and roared, "Look at me, I will definitely find you in my next life!" Suri! ”

It's a pity that Su Rui didn't want to respond to him anymore, and just closed his eyes gently.

"Suri!" Sikong Jin's shouts seemed to tear the heavens and the earth apart, he cried loudly, he grew up, abiding by the royal rules, and the joy and sorrow were not good, until three years ago, his legs were disabled, and his temperament changed greatly, but he had never cried like this.

Liuli, who stayed outside, heard the heart-rending cry, and hurriedly ran over to open the curtain, and what caught his eye was the prince who had fallen into a lump and cried bitterly, as well as Su Rui, who was full of blood in his arms.

Ruri was completely frightened, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

"Lord Wang......" she finally came back to her senses and shouted in a trembling voice.

Sikong Jin slowly raised his eyes, and Liuli was horrified to find that Sikong Jin's eyes had turned blood red.

"Princess, she ......," Liuli asked in a trembling voice, "The slave maid will go and call the car and the imperial doctor." ”

"No need." Sikong Jin stopped crying and said in a cold voice.

He carefully placed Suri on the ground, then stood up, "Let's go." ”

"But the princess ......" Liuli looked at Sikong Jin in a panic, Su Rui's face was completely pale and motionless, as if he was dead.

"Let's go!" Sikong Jin said sharply, "Tell the world that the princess died of illness." ”

"Lord Wang!" Liuli was anxious and wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Sikong Jin, she eagerly looked at Sikong Jin's already cold face, "You can't let the princess do this." The slave begged the prince to save the princess. ”

"If you say another half a word, let her go." Sikong Jin sighed lightly, looked coldly at Liuli, who was already full of tears, and said in a cold voice.

Liuli was stunned, and then she seemed to understand something, she knelt down respectfully, and kowtowed deeply to Su Rui three times, and then reluctantly stood up and followed behind Sikong Jin.

She walked out of the Fengwan Pavilion with Sikong Jin, the white wind curtain fell, and on the hills, among the plum forests, in the plain white pavilion, Su Rui was left alone.

After the sun finally set over the western mountains, the twilight was low, and a carriage came to a rapid halt under the hills.

"Childe, it's the Wind Evening Pavilion above. The person you're waiting for is inside. The guard said respectfully after stopping the carriage. The humble can only send the son here. The prince of Ruian has something to say to the prince of sù, the mountains and rivers meet, the grievances are clear, he will repay the kindness, and he will definitely repay the revenge in the future. ”

With that, the guard jumped into the carriage and left.

Nalan Jingxue laughed, funny and interesting. So Sikong Jin recognized that he had a hatred for taking his wife with him? The mountains and rivers have met, which is good, but he is not afraid at all, but is looking forward to it.

It's too boring to live, and it's good to be a little worried.

He walked up the hill slowly, the rich fragrance of plum came to his face, and suddenly, Nalan Jingxue's brows furrowed tightly, and his unhurried figure flew up like a shock.

The rich plum was mixed with a little blood.

Others may not feel it, but he can!

Quickly jumped onto the Fengwan Pavilion and opened the white wind curtain, Nalan Jingxue was stunned, her heart sank, and a wave of anger struck.

"Damn it!" He slammed his fist on the pillar of the Fengwan Pavilion, and the whole pavilion seemed to shake.

The treacherous Sikong Jin actually put himself on a show here.

He stepped forward quickly and helped Suri up, her body had begun to turn cold, and he glanced at where the dagger was inserted, and his eyes faded.

"Just dead?" He muttered, he was proficient in the use of poison, and he was also proficient in medical skills, and at a glance, he knew that the position of the dagger was too accurate, and the accuracy was almost perfect.

"I thought I had found someone interesting. But I didn't expect it to be gone soon. He said to himself, "Sikong Jin is ruthless enough, I'd rather kill you than leave you a way out." Do you still like such people? He seemed to say to Suri again.

Looking at Su Rui's calm face, Nalan Jingxue's brows furrowed even deeper, and there was a faint breath in her heart, not because she was put on a swing by Sikong Jin.

He has always been a person who thinks openly, but he was negligent this time, and he can't blame others, because he didn't make it clear whether he wanted to live or die! Counting it up, Sikong Jin has already handed over the person to him. It's just a dead man.

A wry smile rose to the corner of his lips behind his mask, and he grabbed Suri's wrist to pull her up. "Well, since you're dead. I'm also useful! Thankfully, you've only been dead for a short time, and I can still make you a puppet. He muttered.

Suddenly, his eyes flashed, he let out a sigh of surprise, and with a flip of his wrist, he grabbed Suri's pulse, and he actually felt a faint pulse.

He didn't think much about it, and his shot was like lightning, instantly sealing several of Su Rui's big acupoints.

He looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, "Since you still have a breath of air, I have a way to save you!" He hugged Suri up and laughed arrogantly.

The breath that had frozen in his chest seemed to dissipate into the night with the sound of his laughter.
