The two were silent for a while, Yao Duran slowly lifted the quilt and went to the ground, and said, "Your Highness, thank you for keeping me innocent, and thank you for taking care of me for everything, as well as for this life-saving grace." Then, Twilight said goodbye first. ”

"Drink the medicine." Huo Jingcheng handed her the medicine bowl again and asked, "Farewell?" What to do? ”

Yao Duran took the medicine bowl and said slowly: "Naturally, I went home." ”

"I can't go back." Huo Jingcheng stared at her eyes and said seriously: "The house in your Hehuan Lane has been burned down by me. ”

"What?! Go up in flames?! His heart trembled violently, his hand trembled uncontrollably, and the medicine bowl shook, and the pitch-black decoction spilled out, smearing a patch on the moon-white thin quilt.

She looked at him incredulously, waiting for an explanation.

Seeing that she reacted so violently, Huo Jingcheng patiently explained: "This is also something that can't be helped. The Ling family lost their daughter, now is the time to hate you and me, and on the bright side, I left the capital and went to the Southern Wilderness, do you think the Ling family can let you go? It is better to burn it clean by yourself, so as to create the illusion that you are unbearable to be humiliated and burn yourself with fire, and you can also be named a loyal martyr. ”

Suddenly, Yao Dui was like an initiation! Yes, what he said is not unreasonable, how could the Ling family let her go of this trouble? Even though she really wanted to die. But he was still scheming, and he also planned a plan for her, put her to death, and then live!

So? At present, in the eyes of the outside world, the Yao family, who does not abide by women's morals, has self-immolated and died?

But no one knew that the two culprits were still hiding in Beijing.

So, she really can't go back. Home, can't go back, people, can't go back, everything, all buried in the fire, all things related to him, are also burned clean.

She and his former home witnessed the short-lived love and beauty, her beautiful courtyard, her handsome young man, her original love, in the sea of fire and never returned......

Suddenly, she threw the medicine bowl, and the fierce action and the sound of the medicine bowl shattering even shocked Huo Jingcheng. Seeing her tears full of eyes, she grabbed his sleeve and asked, "Where is Fuquan??" What about Biya?? ”

"Don't worry." Huo Jingcheng patiently explained: "Don't worry, they're all fine." Before I set the fire, I had the corpse of the woman dragged from the mass grave placed in your room. When they came back this morning, they saw the charred corpse and thought you had set yourself on fire. Then, Fuquan went back to Shangshu Mansion and went to Qiao Fengzhi's side. Biya also went back to the East Palace. ”

Yao Duran's heart was relieved, but it was gloomy. So, in this desolate world, there is only one person left who is going to die and survive? She was speechless, her eyes glazed. I have never been so lonely and disheartened like this moment. It's like a duckweed floating in the sea, full of deep and boundless water, deriving fear and despair that will be swallowed up at any time.

Huo Jingcheng seemed to feel her emotions, and sighed: "Yao Duran, don't be like this. There is no one in this world who has nothing. The beggar also has a begging bowl that has been with him for many years, the homeless man also has a few ragged companions, and the dead soul still has the memory of his relatives. And you are in the prime of life, and you should not despair of your life too soon. We are suffering together, this is your desperate situation, and it is also my desperate situation, and we must be tenacious to overcome it. Say, without some chilling, what is the next sentence? ”

Yao Duran said in a fluttering tone: "How can you get the fragrance of plum blossoms?" ”

Huo Jingcheng smiled lightly: "Yes, that's it." From now on, as long as I see you shed a tear again, heh! I'm sorry, the four treasures of the study are waiting, you can copy this sentence for me thousands of times. ”

"You ......" Yao Duran looked at him in confusion: "You, why do you do this to me?" ”

Huo Jingcheng said meaninglessly: "You don't like this punishment? That's good, it's okay not to copy it, but it's okay to read it instead of reading it thousands of times. ”

"Nope." Yao Duran shook his head lightly: "I'm not talking about this, but why does His Highness repeatedly save me and help me, plan a way for me to live, comfort me, relieve me, and give me hope to live?" ”

Huo Jingcheng smiled and looked at her deeply: "You don't know? ”

Yao Duran didn't speak.

He asked, "You really don't know?" ”

Yao Duran still didn't speak.

Then he said, "You don't know, you're too stupid." Everyone in the world knows that I, Huo Jingcheng, was born with a heart of pity and cherishment, especially for the poor women, when I see that their lives are not going well, or they are in a bad mood and shed a few tears, it will hurt my heart, and I hate to bear it for them. ”

Yao Duran's heartstrings relaxed: "I see." ”

Huo Jingcheng stared at her face and said, "What? What do you hope for? ”

Yao Duran lowered his eyes: "I don't want anything, all my hopes have been disillusioned." ”

Huo Jingcheng said: "Hope is like a lamp, and it can be rekindled." It is also the grass that leaves the plain, and the spring breeze blows and grows. ”

Yao Duran was driven by him to chat for a while, and his mood was really relaxed, and his brain was not so dizzy. She slowly turned to the fragments of the medicine bowl on the ground and said, "Your Highness, I'm sorry, I was overemotional just now. ”

Huo Jingcheng said meaninglessly: "It's nothing, I'll call someone to clean it." By the way, let someone fry another bowl of medicine for you. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Huo Jingcheng came to the door and knocked lightly on the door a few times. A figure waiting in the dark quickly pushed the door open and entered. The man was dressed ordinary, dressed in cloth, unremarkable, like a little errand boy.

Huo Jingcheng said: "Mei Feng, clean up here, and fry another bowl of medicine according to the prescription." ”

The medicinal juice and fragments on the ground were quickly swept away by Mei Feng's hands and feet, and after a while, the new medicine was decoctioned. Huo Jingcheng took it, put it in his hand and stirred it again.

Yao Duran looked at him and said, "Your Highness, wait a few more days, and I will leave after I am better." ”

His movements froze, and then he said, "Leave?" Where else can you go? ”

Yao Duran said: "Since I can't stay in the capital anymore, then I will secretly leave the capital." ”

Huo Jingcheng said: "It's easy to say, but I'm not going to let you go." ”

"What?" Yao Duran's eyes showed surprise: "Then, is it possible that we are lonely men and widows who hide together for a year like this?" ”

Huo Jingcheng nodded: "You and I must hide, and you, only by hiding with me is the safest, understand?" As for how long to hide, it is unknown. ”

Yao Duran said: "We, really want to hide together? ”

Huo Jingcheng smiled lightly: "Otherwise? You're the only one who knows I'm still in Beijing, and I'm the only one who knows you're not dead, so we all have to stay with each other, keep each other's secrets, and get through this together. ”

When Yao Duran heard this, his thoughts were a little abrupt. Unexpectedly, when she came to this point, in a desperate situation, there was still a person left by her side, and this person was a person she could never have imagined in heaven and earth, it would be Huo Jingcheng......

And he is also the one she can't get close to.

The face of the crown princess gradually appeared in her mind.

After coming back to her senses, she sighed softly and said, "Your Highness believes me, okay?" Even if I die, I will not betray Your Highness, I can leave the capital, find a remote place, and live an ordinary life from now on. ”

Huo Jingcheng said without hesitation: "No, I'll talk about these in a year." Anyway, you don't want to go anywhere for a year. ”

"But ......"

"Shut up and drink the medicine."

Yao Duran was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "How can you drink medicine when you close your mouth?" ”

Huo Jingcheng was also stunned, and immediately laughed.

After drinking the medicine, Yao Duran asked, "Your Highness, what kind of place is this?" ”

Huo Jingcheng said: "The world lives." ”

"What?" Yao Duran was stunned: "Your Highness, this day is a famous store in the capital, there are many guests every day, and there are many people, can we hide here safely?" ”

"Fool, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Besides, do you know who the real owner of this world is? ”

Yao Duran saw that he was smiling meaningfully, and said slowly: "Is it difficult?" Is it Your Highness? ”

Huo Jingcheng said: "Count you smart." This day's living is indeed mine, and there are a group of trustworthy people in it, all of whom are armed with martial arts, and they dress up as ordinary people to operate, run errands, and do miscellaneous work here on weekdays, but they are actually used to inquire about all kinds of news in Beijing. Moreover, this day is a luxurious place, and dignitaries like to come to such a place to feast and talk about things, which not only plays a grand show, but also shows their identity. And my spies have excellent ears, and they can eavesdrop on some secret things from their conversations while they are serving the dignitaries and dignitaries, so that I can know their thoughts well or two. Now that I'm living in and covered by these cronies, how can I not be safe? ”

Yao Duran was dumbfounded. The world of men, no, the world of honorable men, can be so complex and yet sophisticated? At this moment, she vaguely understood the true meaning of the word "strong". No wonder since ancient times, it is men who dominate the world......

"Haha-" Huo Jingcheng saw her react like this, and his smile was quite proud.

Yao Duran remembered something again and asked, "Your Highness, what happened the day before yesterday when the people knelt at the palace gate to ask for your life?" ”

Huo Jingcheng said: "My news must be better than yours, after knowing that the side concubine was assassinated, I already understood that this was a net intended to cover the East Palace, so I naturally had to find a way to break through." So before dawn, I ordered Qin An to take my gold mask and run around the streets, inform the people of the true identity of the gold nobles, and incite them to intercede. The results are not bad. ”

Yao Duran secretly admired again: "I see." ”

Huo Jingcheng sighed as if he didn't have it, and slowly analyzed: "I am very clear about this catastrophe. The death of the side concubine, first, in order to frame me for killing the concubine, only in this game can I be trapped by killing people. ”

Yao Duran thought so. Yes, if you don't make a fuss, the others are just painless, how to shake the big tree of the East Palace?

Huo Jingcheng continued: "Second, the person who set up the bureau has already calculated everything, which can be described as seamless. If the three of them see that we have intimacy, it will naturally be better, if we are just ordinary sitting and chatting, according to the jealous and jealous nature of the concubine, they will inevitably question, so that nothing will become something, and they can still use the topic to attack. In addition, the person who set up the bureau also calculated that I was thoughtful, and I would be suspicious when I saw the three of them coming to Yunyan Pavilion, so I would definitely coax the side concubine and instigate the side concubine to change her words, so that she insisted that she didn't see us intimacy. Then when he got to his father's side, he said that he saw it, and at the same time said that he didn't see it, but it was not neat, so the side concubine had to die. The moment she received Princess Cheng's invitation to step out of the Ling Mansion, she was already on the road to death. ”
