Mu Qianxia and Gu Li had been silent on the way home, Mu Qianxia wanted to tell Gu Li Shuofeng more than once that he had died to save her, but she didn't know how to talk about it.

When he returned to the fork in the house, Gu Li said softly: "Princess, go back and have a good rest, don't think too much about what happened today, I will take care of other things."

"Okay, you can rest well. The injuries on your body need to be cultivated a lot, and other things can be dealt with later. ”

"Good. Good night, princess. With that, Gu Li smiled at Mu Qianxia and turned to leave.

"Gu Li!" Mu Qianxia spoke and stopped Gu Li behind him.

As if he was being grabbed by an invisible hand in his heart, his breathing stopped and his chest hurt, Mu Qianxia's face was pale, he closed his eyes, and smiled miserably: "Gu Li, Shuo Feng died, he died to save me." ”

On the way back, she had already thought many times about how to tell the news of Shuofeng's death, and how to slow down the impact of this matter on Gu Li before saying this crucial message, but in the end, it was finally expressed in the simplest way.

Mu Qianxia exhaled a long breath, and finally said it, the invisible hand that grabbed her heart finally dissipated without a trace, and the numb heart finally had another feeling, and all kinds of complex emotions were intricately intertwined, impacting her chest.

If in the past, Shuofeng was just a less familiar image in her heart, following Gu Li's back every day, accompanied by a wisp of fragrance, then at this time, after his death, he really became flesh and blood in Mu Qianxia's mind, he is also a living person, with his own responsibilities and missions, as well as his own hopes and desires.

But when he died, there was nothing left on all of them.

After a long while, Mu Qianxia opened his eyes: "Gu Li, I'm sorry, I killed him." ”

She turned her head to look at Gu Li's expression, but Gu Li didn't feel so sad, his pure black eyes flashed, and after a while, he said softly: "Princess, I saw it when I went in to save you." Can you tell me what he died for? ”

Mu Qianxia slowly explained the matter to Gu Li in detail, and her voice lowered little by little, until it was almost inaudible in the end.

Suddenly, there was a slightly cool and soft touch on his hand, Mu Qianxia looked up in surprise, but saw Gu Li's hand reaching over and gently holding her hand, he stared at Mu Qianxia calmly, and said softly: "Princess, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault." ”

Mu Qianxia pursed her lips, as if she hesitated, and finally chose to say what was in her heart: "No, I can't forgive myself, it's not just because of this." ”

Gu Li felt the hand he was covering trembled slightly, and then heard Mu Qianxia's painful voice: "Do you know, I can't forgive myself because after Shuo Feng's death, after a long time, I came back to my senses, and my first thought turned out to be that it was not you who stayed here, fortunately you left something, fortunately it was Shuo Feng who stayed here to protect me." Thankfully......"

Gu Li raised his eyes in astonishment, and he clearly saw that Mu Qianxia in front of him bit his lip flap hard, and his teeth were deeply embedded in the lip flap, revealing traces of blood. In her clear eyes, she did not hide her hatred for herself, and despite her pain and self-blame, she still chose to calmly face her dark, weak, cowardly, and selfish side.

Mu Qianxia couldn't forgive herself, after that moment, she almost couldn't believe that she would have such a dark and selfish thought, they were all innocent people, they all had only one life, no one was more valuable than anyone's life, and no one should die more than anyone, but at that moment, she would feel extremely lucky, because the person who died to save her was not Gu Li, but Shuo Feng.

How terrible.

Gu Li was still staring at her quietly, he suddenly felt that there was no moment when Mu Qianxia was more beautiful than now, even though she still had the remnants of the fire she had just experienced on her face, but in all the time he had seen Mu Qianxia, there was really no moment that was more beautiful than her now.

Injuries and death are not the most terrible, in a sense, everyone's biggest enemy is himself, but not everyone has the courage to face their own stains calmly. Mu Qianxia's calmness is the source of her pain, and it is also a precious courage.

"Princess." Gu Li slowly walked in front of Mu Qianxia, lowered his body slightly, raised his hand to wrap his hand around her shoulder, and then slowly hugged her into his arms, "Princess, you have done it very well now, please don't blame yourself anymore, the ideas you have now are just selfishness that everyone will have, this is inevitable, in your heart, you don't care about Shuofeng's life or death, compared to Shuofeng, you are just ......"

Gu Li paused, even he didn't realize it, his gaze at this time became incomparably soft at that moment, just like the warmth of spring water, and the purity of his eyes turned into ripples, spreading out in circles: "You just care more about me." ”

Gu Li hugged Mu Qianxia, over and over again, whispering in Mu Qianxia's ear repeatedly: "Princess, please don't blame yourself, this is not your sin." ”

"Princess, you're finally back." A voice came from afar.

After the "public ......" approached, he only called halfway through the call, and saw the two people hugging each other on the side of the road, and the sound was interrupted.

Mu Qianxia hurriedly pushed Gu Li away, raised his eyes to look to the side, but saw that the person who came was Liuli.

Mu Qianxia raised his hand and brushed his slightly messy hair, and said calmly: "Liuli, what's the matter?" Although she and Gu Li didn't do anything just now, I don't know why, at this moment, Mu Qianxia actually had a feeling of being caught, and she couldn't stop feeling weak for a while.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, princess, you...... You are ...... Go ahead and I'...... I'll go back first. Ruri said with her head down and a blushing face.

Mu Qianxia coughed lightly and pretended to be calm, "You wait for me, I'll go back with you." After that, Mu Qianxia quickly turned her head, her pretty face was slightly red, she lowered her head, and she didn't dare to look directly into Gu Li's eyes, "Gu Li, that, I'll go back to sleep first, you can rest early, good night." After speaking, he pulled Liuli and ran away without looking back.

Looking at Mu Qianxia's back as she fled because of shyness, Gu Li chuckled, and his eyes were full of tenderness and doting.

…………

"Princess, you and Gu Gongzi have developed to this point? You've been hiding it from me, don't you trust me? On the way, Liuli said aggrievedly.

"Don't talk nonsense, we're just ordinary friends, and we haven't done anything." Mu Qianxia blushed.

"Really? You two just ...... All hugged. ”

"Gu Lina saw that I was in a bad mood, and he ...... He was comforting me, and it had nothing to do with Fengyue. ”

"Oh~" Liuli said with a smile.

Mu Qianxia glared at Liuli and pretended to be angry, "Liuli, your guts are really getting fatter and fatter, even your own master dares to ridicule, do you want to be punished?" ”

Liuli and Mu Qianxia have been together for so long, they have long been familiar with Mu Qianxia's temperament, and know that Mu Qianxia is now looking like she is pretending to be angry because she is embarrassed, she stuck out her tongue and said playfully: "Yes, yes, the princess taught me that the slave and maid knew that it was wrong, and asked Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to have a lot, spare the slave and maid this time, and the slave and maid will never dare again."

Liuli's appearance successfully made Mu Qianxia laugh, and the mood that had been dull today was finally relieved at this moment.

Seeing Mu Qianxia smile, Liuli stepped forward and asked cautiously: "Princess, the wound on your forehead ......" A woman's appearance is the most important thing in this era, if the princess is disfigured by this accident, I am afraid that she will not only face the shame of the world, but also be disgusted by her future husband. A woman's appearance, no matter what era it is, is the best passport.

Mu Qianxia raised his hand to caress his wound that had been bandaged by the imperial doctor, and smiled indifferently, "No defense, the left and right are just a skin, don't care too much." ”

"But, princess......" Liuli wanted to say something more, but seeing Mu Qianxia's indifferent look, she finally swallowed those words back into her stomach.

"Liuli, Shuofeng is dead."

"What? He's dead? He...... How could he die?" Ruri exclaimed.

"Today, someone tampered with the stage, there was an explosion, and Shuo Feng died trying to protect me. Liuli, am I particularly useless, not only can't I even protect myself, but also let others die for me. My life is my life, but his life is also my life. He is still young, and his future still has so many possibilities and so many hopes, but it has been ruined because of me. Mu Qianxia's long-suppressed tears finally burst out of her eyes at this moment.

Liuli looked at Mu Qianxia, who was crying like a child in front of her, stretched out her hand, and hugged her tightly: "Princess, it's not your fault." In this era, everyone is destined for their own destiny from the moment they are born. Some people are noble, and some people are lowly, this is predestined, and we have no choice. Princess, don't be presumptuous, you are very good, you have never regarded us as subordinates, you are gentle and kind, you will never criticize us, in my eyes, the princess is the best master in the world. ”

Mu Qianxia was frightened all day, and her body was already exhausted, so she fell asleep in Liuli's arms, and I don't know how much I heard in the end.

Liuli looked at Mu Qianxia's sleeping face and fat, and her eyes were full of pity.

…………

Princess's Mansion, Qingquan Pavilion.

Gu Li sat at the desk with a book, his eyes did not stare at the words on the book, but kept staring at the void in front of him, as if he was wandering.

Suddenly, the flames in front of him shook slightly, and a figure appeared in front of him out of thin air.

The moment the person in front of him appeared, he had already come back to his senses and asked in a cold voice, "How are things going?"

"Childe Qiyu, everything is done."

"Hmm." Gu Li snorted lightly and never spoke again. It seems that the thoughts that have just come back have flown away again.

But the person in front of him didn't dare to leave easily, and kept standing there with his head down, waiting for Gu Li's other orders.

After a long time, Gu Li spoke again leisurely: "Shuofeng, how is it?"

"Hui Gongzi, he was a little injured, but he didn't worry about his life." The man in front of him replied respectfully.

"Okay, I got it. After he was almost recuperated, we continued to work as planned. After casting the net for so long, it's time to close it. ”

"Yes."

"Let's go down."

"Yes."

The candle flame shook slightly, and the person in front of Gu Li disappeared out of thin air, as if it had never appeared......
