Ajing's voice, as always, was delicate with a bit of domineering arrogance.

"The purpose of her marriage with you Daze Baili has been achieved now, and there is no need to pester you anymore, is it?"

Qing Ling stood in place for a moment, then raised his foot and walked in the direction where the sound came from. Although he knew that Mu Chen had set up a ban before jumping off the mountain and had not withdrawn, the other party might not be able to detect his whereabouts, but his steps couldn't help but hesitate, and he walked a little vain and difficult.

After a distance, two figures could be faintly seen standing under a pear tree.

Facing Qingling, it was Ah Jing, who was wearing an ice blue long skirt and holding a butterfly play in her hair, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that were shining wide, looking up at the man in front of her.

The man had his back to Qing Ling, and although he couldn't see his face clearly, his clothes and figure were familiar to her. I saw him raise his hand and caress Ah Jing's cheek, and said slowly: "But I still need her now, and I need to use her relationship to stabilize Daze's position." As you know, the new emperor ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, and the situation inside and outside the dynasty was unpredictable, and if I didn't want my family to become the second Fangshan clan, I had to be cautious every step of the way. ”

Jing looked away and avoided his touch, "I don't want to hear your excuses anymore!" There was a choked up in his tone, "Do you know how hard my life is now!" ”

As if ashamed of the vulnerability she revealed, she turned and hurried away.

The man called "Ajing" and hurriedly chased after him.

Qing Ling stood in the pear blossom forest not far away, standing silently for a long time.

Mu Chen, who followed her, was silent for a moment with her, and slowly spoke, "Do you want to follow her again?" ”

Qing Ling came back to his senses in a daze, and looked up at Mu Chen with a sluggish gaze, "Just now...... Is it true? Not in this formation...... Phantasm? ”

Mu Chen looked back at her, his dark eyes were bottomless, and after a long time, he looked away, "Do you hope it's an illusion?" ”

Qing Ling bit the corner of her lip, suppressing her emotions, trying not to let herself react too aggressively.

She actually knew very well that the scene she saw just now should not be an illusion. The art of sound confusion that she has studied since she was a child has given her an extraordinary understanding of the illusions constructed by divine power, at least when she is in the illusion, she will not be unable to sense the truth and falsehood. And the scene woven by the demon spell, although it is more deceptive and has deceived her, needs to cover all the sounds and scenery around her when casting the spell. And the people and scenery around her just now were exactly the same, and she was wearing a fox spirit soul bracelet on her wrist that could resist demon magic, so naturally, she was not blinded by demon magic......

So the two people just now are really Ah Jing and Luo Yao?

Qing Ling's heart was stirring with all kinds of emotions, the taste was bitter and sour, and the corners of her eyes were slightly hot.

She smiled reluctantly, raised her head, and said to Mu Chen, "It doesn't matter if he's an illusion or not." Let's find a way out. ”

Mu Chen took in every subtle change in expression on Qing Ling's face.

It stands to reason that as the brother who is close to her by blood, at this time, should he say something of relief, or take her to confront her face to face and find out?

However, he just followed her silently, walking directionlessly among the pear blossom forests, feeling the colorful petals falling slowly in the night breeze falling layer by layer on his heart, blocking a little heavy and unbearable, but the breath was extremely refreshing and extremely pleasing......

After a long time, Mu Chen said in a low voice: "In the past two years, Ajing's situation has not been very good. The imperial doctor once mentioned to me that she was depressed, her mood was low and dry, and she often couldn't sleep at night. Although the fights between me and Mu Han were inevitable, they were ...... to Ah Jing I still remember how she followed me when I was a child, and I really loved her as a sister. ”

When Ah Jing was a child, because her younger brother Mu Han was weak and sickly and needed special care from her mother, she always pestered her eldest brother Mu Chen and asked him to play with her. Mu Chen is also very fond of this little sister, and takes care of her preferences and plays with her very patiently. In fact, until Mu Chen was tortured and expelled from the Chaoyan royal family because of Fang Shan's frame-up, Ajing's relationship with Mu Chen has always been closer than that with Mu Han.

Qingling also remembered that when Mu Chen was hiding in Chongwu, Ah Jing and Shiyin came to Youxian Town together, anxiously looking for his brother's whereabouts, and fought with him in the inn for this reason...... The concern for my brother in my eyes is by no means false......

Qing Ling's originally complicated thoughts became heavier and heavier.

She remembered that on the eve of her father's announcement of her engagement to Luo Yao, Ah Jing came to Yinque Palace and begged herself with tears, begging herself not to take away the person she really wanted to be with for the rest of her life......

Remembering that night, Ah Jing knelt in front of her, and for the first and only time, she called her "sister".

Her posture, so humble, has abandoned the pride and dignity that has been forged by thousands of favors from childhood to adulthood......

Qing Ling suddenly closed his eyes.

She and Ah Jing are also brothers and sisters who are related by blood, the only sisters in the world.

They also had intimate moments of laughter and whispering. My sister also snuggled in her sister's arms, and shyly confided in her heart and depicted her vision for the future. And my sister, who grew up around a group of senior brothers, also experienced a sisterhood that she had never experienced......

But all this, after all, there is still no going back.

No matter how much she tried to defend herself, she couldn't change the fact that —

Her truth has taken away the happiness that should have belonged to her sister.

～～

Luo Yao joined the battle with the guests who participated in the celebration, and gradually dispersed.

At the beginning, he could still see Qing Ling and Mu Chen walking side by side at the head of the crowd from afar, and after a while, he lost his direction in a dense fog that suddenly dispersed, and when his vision became clear, he found that he was already alone, and came to a pear blossom forest.

He looked around, used his demon to identify the direction, and then slowly stepped into the pear forest.

Under the moonlight, the petals of the pear blossoms, which are soaked in the gentle luster, flutter in the night breeze and dance lightly, as if the snow has fallen for nine days, shrouding the snow-white curtain in the forest.

Luo Yao looked up at the curved moon, as if he remembered something, and his expression suddenly became a little lonely.

He walked forward unhurriedly, his posture was calm and elegant, but his back seemed so lonely and lonely......

Suddenly, a crisp and pleasant girl's laughter drifted in the wind, familiar and clear.

Luo Yao paused suddenly, stood in place and hesitated for a long time, and finally waved his hand to set a prohibition, hide his figure, and slowly walked towards the source of the laughter.

Under a tall pear tree, there are two figures, one sitting and one kneeling.

Mu Chen held the purple jade flute in his hand and sat against the tree, his expression was gentle and quiet, and there was a faint but doting smile on his lips. The delicate eyebrows and eyes are more and more delicate and picturesque against the background of the snow-white falling flowers, and a pair of inky black and deep eyes stared at the woman kneeling in front of him for a moment.

And the woman, although her back was to Luo Yao and she couldn't see her face, her voice was very familiar to him.

She leaned over and picked up a handful of fallen flowers, blew them out, and used her spiritual power to give birth and change, turning into a fluttering rain of flowers, all of which fell on Mu Chen's body and landed on his hair and shoulders......

Mu Chen shook his head helplessly, but the smile on his lips was deeper, "Qingling, don't make trouble." ”

Qing Ling didn't care, "Who told you to stay here and not leave?" If we were the last to come out, it would be a joke. ”

Mu Chen stared at her, "Don't you want to stay with me a little longer?" There are only you and me here, and you don't have to take into account the eyes of others. ”

Qing Ling was silent for a long time, and at the end, he let out a long sigh, "I really hate this...... I can't always ...... freely."

She leaned down and slowly leaned into Mu Chen's arms. Mu Chen put away the jade flute and hugged her.

The two embraced each other silently for a moment.

Qing Ling raised his head, stretched out his arm around Mu Chen's neck, and the smooth sleeves fell down, revealing two snow-white forearms.

Mu Chen's slender fingers caressed her wrist, pressed her closer to him, and then lowered his head and kissed her tenderly.

Luo Yao stood in place, only to feel that his legs seemed to be pulled by some huge force and couldn't move, and the heart in his chest kept falling, tearing flesh and bones and blood, and finally only an empty piece of coldness remained, and there was no longer any feeling.

The scene in front of me is too real.

However, even if it is not real, does such a picture not depict the most hidden places in the depths of his heart and bring him unspeakable pain from time to time?

He was able to hide the secret of his life and suppress all the guilt and apologies in his heart because of it, but he could never stop her from continuing to follow that person's footsteps......

She and the man belonged to each other from the beginning.

It should also belong to each other......

～～

Luo Yao couldn't remember how he got out of the pear blossom forest.

He staggered, dazedly relying on the conscious traction of demon consciousness. Along the way, he encountered sudden and crazy thorns and mysterious obstacles, but for him, they were as easy as a child's game.

But it's no fun......

When he passed through a path besieged by earth blades, he didn't even raise his hand, and directly manipulated his spiritual power to dissolve all the obstacles.

The moment the blade of dust faded, the figure of another person trapped here was also revealed.

The two looked at each other for a moment at a distance, with different expressions.

Luo Yao bowed, "Emperor." ”

Ah Jing bit her lower lip, but didn't say anything, silently lowered her eyes, dusting off the dust on her dress.

Luo Yao turned around, intending to take another path.

"The ...... of the Prince"

Ajing's voice sounded behind her, faintly almost inaudible.

Luo Yao stopped and looked back.

Ah Jing's expression was slightly embarrassed, and her eyes were always lowered, "I just now, my leg was injured. Can you ...... Can you help me? ”

Only then did Luo Yao notice that Ah Jing's standing posture was a little unstable, and she seemed to concentrate all her weight on her left leg.

He stepped forward slowly, hesitantly reaching out to hold her arm, "What's going on?" ”

It stands to reason that the various mechanisms in this array are set up very simply, and they do not have any lethality at all, even if they are a daughter like A Jing, as long as they pay a little attention, they will not be injured and unable to act.

With Luo Yao's support, Ah Jing bent down and touched her right leg, shook her head and said, "I don't know either." Obviously, the moment I saw the mechanism opened, the person was still far away, but somehow I was hit......"

Luo Yao looked around, studied the layout of the formation, and then said to Ah Jing: "This place should not be far from the exit. I'll help you walk slowly, okay? ”

Ah Jing's lips had already been bitten red, she lowered her head and said "um" softly.

Luo Yao then helped her and slowly walked in the direction of the exit.

After a long time, Ah Jing seemed to be much calmer, and opened her mouth after consideration, "Please help, there is no other meaning, it is really because you can't walk alone......"

Luo Yao said, "I know. ”

Ah Jing was silent for a while, and then said, "I also understood what you said in my dormitory last time......

Luo Yao was silent for a moment, "You don't have to worry, I don't have any other ideas." You are Qingling's sister, that is, my sister, and I should take care of you. ”

The words that Ah Jing had not yet uttered choked in her throat and could no longer spit it out.

She felt that the corners of her eyes were hot and moist, but she didn't dare to let the tears fall, for fear that if her emotions were out of control for a while, she would ruin what might be the last chance to walk with the man next to her.
