Before this, Xu Yi never believed in love.

What is Love?

The word never appeared in his life, and it didn't have to.

Perhaps, his father Xu Hui's obsession with his mother Xie Ziyao is love.

He once bumped into his father kneeling in front of his mother's grave at night, leaning his head against the tombstone and crying to her: "Ziyao, Ziyao......"

He knew from a young age that his father sent him to the palace because he didn't want to see him.

Father actually hated him.

Because when his father saw him, he remembered his beloved wife, who had died.

The more I think about it, the more it hurts.

The more it hurts, the more I think about it.

The cycle repeats itself.

This kind of unrelieved nostalgia is better than nothing. Xu Yi thought so.

However, he never imagined that one day he would fall into it like this, like a bottomless swamp, sinking deeper and deeper.

In fact, he felt that Su Yinghuan was not a good person. has a pretty face, but looks like a child who hasn't grown; The posture is okay, but the voice is always like that of a ten-year-old child; She also has a bad temper, she is easy to get angry and fried, although she is well-behaved in front of him, but in fact, she is ruthless and cunning like him.

But she was like a scarlet blood in the vast snow, piercing his eyes and heart, so that he couldn't help but pay attention.

He knew that Su Yinghuan loved him. She had chattered in his ear at night, tossing and turning to fall asleep in his arms, and he could not understand, but he did not feel annoyed.

She has said it many times, husband, I love you.

But he never answered, just smiled and kissed her forehead, telling her to go to sleep.

Su Yinghuan also asked him, do you love me?

He always smiled and asked, what do you say?

But he never thought about the answer.

Until his despicable exploits were exposed, until she resolutely left and never returned. It was only in the dead of night that he suddenly pondered the question.

Do I love you?

I never thought about it. I don't dare to think about it.

The question was like a pot of hot wine, and he drank it all but did not dare to taste it, and it took a long time to feel the burning pain.

Long after she was gone, he didn't think anything was unusual, except occasionally waking up in the night to listen to her steady breathing, only to suddenly remember that she was no longer around.

Anyway.

It's just that life has come back to the way it was.

It wasn't until one day that he had a small gathering with the emperor and accidentally heard that the princess of the late Cangguo Najin prince was killed for treason, that he suddenly realized that Su Yinghuan had done a good thing.

That Princess Jin is also a demon, Su Yinghuan once mentioned that they have a century-old feud, and it is a life-and-death hatred.

As if suddenly waking up from a dream, Xu Yi suddenly went to the emperor to resign that day.

"What?!" The emperor was so shocked that he almost fell off the dragon seat. Fortunately, he had already dismissed the palace people, and there were no others around.

"You're going to go to the Homeland to find that goblin?"

"Hmm." Xu Yi stood in front of him and said.

As if he had never known him, the emperor stared at him with wide eyes for a long time, and said in disbelief: "For the sake of the female monster who wanted to kill you before, you want to run to the homeland alone?!" ”

"Hmm." Xu Yi said lightly, "That traitorous princess Jin is a cat demon and has a grudge against Ying Huan, this time she was harmed by Ying Huan like this, and she will definitely not let Ying Huan go." If I go over there to check on Princess Jin's affairs, I will have some clues, and I may be able to find Yinghuan along the vine. ”

The emperor was stunned and said, "What if you can't find it?" After thinking about it, he said angrily, "If you dare to say that you can't come back, I will beat you today until you can't get out of this palace gate." ”

Xu Yi said briskly: "What are you angry about?" If I really couldn't find her, she would probably have been killed by the cat demon. It's good to be dead and my thoughts are gone, so I'll come back naturally. ”

The emperor was skeptical: "Really? How long is it at the latest? ”

Xu Yi thought for a while and said, "A year, right?" Seeing the emperor's expression, he changed his words and said, "Half a year." ”

The emperor smiled and said: "Three months at most, I will copy your general's mansion if you are more." ”

Xu Yi: "......"

The two were silent for a while, Xu Yi said goodbye, and when he turned around, the emperor suddenly spoke: "Ah Yi, it's useless for you to run, people are goblins fighting, what did you do in the past, did you die thousands of miles?" ”

Xu Yi stopped, turned his back to him and said, "I want to get her back." ”

The emperor was puzzled, looked at his back and wondered: "Why?" Are you really in love with her? ”

Xu Yi said seriously: "I don't know either." But if I don't, I'll never see her again in my life. ”

The emperor waved his hand impatiently and said, "Get out." ”

Xu Yi left.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne and was quiet for a moment, sighed long, rubbed his forehead and said helplessly: "I didn't expect that one day, Ah Yi would also be tempted by women, alas." ”

At that time, Xu Yi really had only one thought in his heart, if he didn't go this time, he might miss the opportunity, and he would never hear from her again in the future.

So he ran desperately to the enemy country, mad and irrational, alone in a strange land to find a woman who had not been heard from.

Later, he heard that Princess Jin's homeland was in Yaohe Town, so he came over and stayed in an inn called Jiumianlai. After asking around, he learned that Yu Wenhuan, the king of Jin, was also in this town, and he guessed that the cat demon was probably here.

One morning when he came to sleep, he heard a quarrel downstairs, and then he heard Ying Huan's name, and after listening carefully for a while, he suddenly reacted to the fact that Ying Huan had been in this inn before.

He listened quietly for a long time, and finally vaguely understood that Ying Huan seemed to have done a lot of "good things", and these people didn't sound like they would let her go.

So Xu Yi carefully followed behind the female Taoist priest and the man, followed them to Yaoshan, and witnessed the fire that almost destroyed everything. Fortunately, he happened to run to a river at that time, otherwise he would have been burned alive on this broken mountain.

Stupid woman, you are murdering your husband. Xu Yi thought after not dying.

It didn't take long for the flames to be extinguished, and Xu Yi knew that this was Ying Huan's failure. Since she failed, the messy crowd will definitely not let her go.

Xu Yi searched for a while on the burned and barren Yao Mountain, and happened to see the man with the Taoist priest throwing Su Yinghuan into a coffin and nailing him.

He waited for the man to go away, and then ran to split the coffin alive with his sword. He took the unconscious Su Yinghuan out and wanted to take her down the mountain, but she got lost. In desperation, Xu Yi had no choice but to put her next to a dead tree and find the way by himself first. Before leaving, he took out the fox-shaped blood jade in his arms and gently hung it around her neck.

Unexpectedly, the road was not found, but Su Yinghuan was found by them first. Xu Yi didn't want to meet Yu Wenwei, and he confronted King Jin alone in the enemy country, and there was a bunch of messy goblins to help, which was simply looking for death.

However, no matter how much Xu Yi spared his life, he was helpless.

He couldn't watch her die in front of him.

So he stood up, in front of everyone, and in front of her.

At that time, Su Yinghuan's surprised appearance made him feel at ease.

Yinghuan, if I stand up for you, would you like to go home with me?

"Hey, Ah Yi!" The emperor shouted.

Xu Yi, who walked to the bedroom, saw his movements clearly, frowned, and hurried over.

"Let go." Xu Yi snatched Su Yinghuan from the emperor's hand, and said angrily, "What are you holding her for?" ”

The emperor smiled, stared at the little fox in his arms and said, "This is your lady?" I'll just see, what are you angry about? ”

Su Yinghuan glanced at the emperor coldly, and buried his head in Xu Yi's arms as if he was sulking. Xu Yi thought that she still wanted to sleep, so he carried her to the bed and covered her with a quilt.

The emperor felt strange, and asked after him: "Hey! Ah Yi, is this really the monster that almost strangled you that day? ”

Xu Yi dragged him outside and said softly, "Be quiet, she wants to sleep." ”

"Tsk," the emperor looked disgusted, pulled his hand away and walked out by himself, shaking his head as he walked, "Alas, if you have a woman, you don't want a brother." ”

The two sat in the gazebo by the lake and drank tea, talking to each other.

"It's been a long time since you've been to court." The emperor stared at Xu Yi and poured him tea, and said with disgust, "Hey, you just touched your lady, did you wash your hands?" ”

"Nope." Xu Yi calmly stuffed the teacup to him and asked, "How is the DPRK and China doing lately?" ”

The emperor looked at the tea in his hand and wondered whether to drink it or not: "That's it." Since last month's truce between us and the old country, the old guys have settled down a lot. Recently, it seems that the Cangguo side is interested in marrying with my Yueqi country. ”

Xu Yi pretended not to see him pretending to drink tea, and said with a smile: "Then what do you think?" ”

The emperor put down the teacup and said, "So do I." The two countries finally stopped fighting, but they still had to maintain relations. ”

Xu Yi said "um" and said, "That...... What are your plans? I remember that your fourth sister in the palace seems to be at the time of marriage, have you ever asked her? ”

At the mention of this, the emperor suddenly raised his forehead and said, "I didn't ask, but she ...... I just really want to get married. And I just want to marry that military advisor. ”

"Oh?" Xu Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "The fourth princess has an idea. ”

The emperor was speechless and said, "I still have to think about this." Ah Yi, you also know that I love my fourth sister the most, how can I bear to let her marry so far away. Alas, I originally wanted to entrust her to you......"

Xu Yi drank tea, hurriedly put down the cup and said, "No, I have someone here, don't make up your mind." ”

The emperor didn't expect him to react so much, and said with a little surprise: "What? Could it be that you really want to live with a fox for the rest of your life?! ”

Xu Yi calmly glanced at the calm and waveless lake, and said softly: "It's okay." ”

The emperor opened his mouth wide and said incredulously: "Are you serious?!" The fox only has a lifespan of more than ten years, so don't you marry her in your life? So, what about the heir, you can't cut off your family's queen, right? ”

Xu Yi smiled: "It's okay. ”

The emperor was stunned for a while, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Ah Yi, what about yours...... What to do? ”

Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he scolded with a smile: "What do you have in the emperor's head!" You don't know what it was like when I was with you in the past, but you're embarrassed to ask me this. ”

The emperor smiled: "I'm not ...... I'm afraid you're too lonely haha. But seriously," he said suddenly, in earnestness, "do you really like her that much?" ”

Xu Yi was silent for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "I can't talk about liking it." Maybe I'm crazy. ”

Finally sent away the emperor's big Buddha, Xu Yi returned to the room and saw Su Yinghuan lying on the bed, staring at the ground a little woodenly.

He walked over and lay down beside her, lowered his head and kissed her forehead tenderly, and whispered, "Yinghuan." ”

Su Yinghuan didn't know what he was thinking, and was stunned for a while before he raised his head and kissed him back.

He smiled lightly and whispered in her ear, "Shadow Huan, Shadow Huan." ”

Su Yinghuan looked up at him, but his eyes were full of sadness.

Xu Yi said softly: "I know what you're thinking. Listen, even if you can't transform into a human or help me now, you're still my wife. I won't abandon you, I won't marry another, we'll be together and grow old together, just like you said before. ”

Su Yinghuan looked at him in a daze, tears streaming down her left eye, dripping on the sheets like broken petals.

Xu Yi leaned close to her fox head and asked her, "Is it okay?" ”

Su Yinghuan whimpered slightly, nodded hurriedly, and the fluffy fox's ears trembled slightly.

Xu Yi smiled, rubbed her into his arms, and closed his eyes.

"Su Yinghuan. I love you. ”
