"Come in."

Even though he was worried about Mu Xiyao's safety, Ye Shuqiu was a prime minister after all. He can't mess up, if he messes up, then this beam will be paralyzed by more than half.

"Report to Lord Ye, there is an urgent report from Bashu." The man walked in, holding a letter respectfully in his hand.

"Read."

"Yes. Report to Lord Ye, Bashu is urgent. Recently, the whereabouts of Xia Yujin and others have been traced, and their strongholds have been destroyed, and the two have been captured and hanged except for Xia Yujin. Xia Yujin is nowhere to be found. According to the informant, he may have fled to the wilderness. End. ”

Ye Shuqiu rubbed his somewhat sore forehead, and said in a deep voice, "The meaning of this letter is that Xia Yujin will not threaten the life of Daliang for the time being?" "Since he has escaped, how can he, a former prince, escape? If you don't get eaten by the beast, you're already lucky.

"Well, forgive the lower official for being stupid, the lower official only understood this meaning."

"Alright, you can go down." He sighed softly, bracing his forehead with one hand and waving his other indifferently.

"Yes."

"Wait!" Ye Shuqiu stopped him again.

"Lord Ye. What else do you want to command? ”

"Only, is there only such a letter?" He asked uncertainly, as if afraid of missing something.

The man didn't notice Ye Shuqiu's expression. In other words, Ye Shuqiu was wearing a mask all the time, and he couldn't see his expression at all. He searched the letter upside down from envelope several times before nodding. "Yes, Lord Ye, there is only this letter."

"Okay. It's getting late, so go down and rest. ”

"Lord Xie Ye. The lower official retired. ”

The door was gently shut.

Didn't you believe it?

Ye Shuqiu got up slowly and moved his body, which was stiffened by playing many twists and turns. Between the joints, there was a clicking sound.

"How can there be no faith" He muttered to himself as he walked to a wicker chair and sat down, made a cup of tea for himself, and the hand that picked up the teacup trembled slightly.

Ye Shuqiu glanced out the window in the dark night and drank the cold tea in his hand.

Boast~~~

It was the sound of a teacup shattering.

"Xi Yao," he muttered, closing his eyes tiredly.

Book Autumn, Book Autumn? Wake up.

Who is it?

It's me, you're still talking about me before, have you forgotten me so soon?

Xi Yao Xi Yao! Where are you!? Xi Yao!

Hehe, you look out the window.

Window?

Ye Shuqiu walked to the window in a daze and pushed the wooden window open. His longing man was smiling lightly, looking sideways in his direction.

I saw her smiling lightly and shyly gently curling the silk hair of her ear temples with her index finger, on her body

Dressed thinly, his eyes showed a look of reluctance, one step or retreat, one step or advance, just away from him, farther away, suddenly close, but he just couldn't come to his side.

Xi Yao

Ye Shuqiu wanted to shout, but found that he only opened his mouth, and there was no trace of sound.

Mu Xiyao just smiled, or played with her long hair, or put her hands behind her back, looking up at the air.

Ye Shuqiu was curious, and followed her gaze and looked at the sky.

The sky, a dreary sunset, was reflected on the earth, showing a gray orange.

From time to time, a wild goose flew in the air, or another goose, always so lonely, never in pairs.

this

Ye Shuqiu was still stunned, but he heard Mu Xiyao say in a low voice.

Shuqiu, if I wasn't so willful at the beginning, would you be willing to accept me, accept me, a woman who was the second lady of the former Chaomu Mansion, and spend my life plainly?

I do! Ye Shuqiu hurriedly said. But he found that no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't make a sound. And for some reason, I tried to climb out of the window to be with her a few times, but I couldn't get out.

It's like an invisible wall, separating herself from her in two worlds.

Actually, I figured it out.

Mu Xiyao lowered her head. Her voice was low and deep.

Shuqiu, I understood my heart at that last moment. I am not angry with you because my father was killed, but because you lied to me, and you deceived my feelings. Moreover, my sister also said that people are dead, but you didn't kill people, and I shouldn't dwell on that little mistake. Seeing you happy, happy is actually my greatest happiness.

Xi Yao! I want more than just you looking happy! I want you to have a good time! It's been my lifelong goal! I was also confused, and after the unification of the North and the South, I also lost my goal. Later, it dawned on me that I shouldn't stop there. Because I met you. Your smile is always deeply engraved in my mind, and I can't forget it! Can't forget!

Ye Shuqiu wanted to yell out what was in his heart. However, he kept opening his mouth, but there was no sound.

Shuqiu, you hide it from me so hard. Until the last moment, all I remember is the most ordinary face you met me. However, I know that as the eldest son of the Ye family, he shouldn't just have such an ordinary face. The face you saw with me is also fake, right?

The corners of Mu Xiyao's mouth were slightly bitter, and she turned her head angrily and stopped looking at him.

I

Ye Shuqiu choked for a while.

I know that you have hardships, you have your own goals, and you don't face the world with your true face. However, if there is still a chance in the future, I really want to live with you for the rest of my life, then are you willing to take off your disguise and let me see the real you?

Mu Xiyao pleaded in a low voice.

Ye Shuqiu sighed softly and silently took off the mask on his face. Beneath the silver mask was a cheek with a little bewitching charm.

It turns out that this is who you really are.

Mu Xiyao smiled. She smiled sadly and sadly.

She looked up to the sky and laughed, tears streaming down her face. Firmament! Why! You're always playing tricks on us! At the last moment before I left, I saw the real him! Why!

Ye Shuqiu was stunned by her words. What is leaving? What last minute?

Xi Yao you

I'm leaving. Shuqiu, you remember to take care of yourself. Please don't think of me again in my absence, and your face is a little secret between us. From now on, you will still be your prime minister, and I will be just a lonely soul in the wilderness.

Xi Yao, did you do it right or wrong before you said me?

Ye Shuqiu's hands trembled a little. He seemed to realize something, but he wasn't sure.

Right or wrong, from the heart.

After Mu Xiyao finished speaking, she turned around and left without looking back. Beside her, there were many bright blood-colored mandalas blooming.

Ye Shuqiu recognized. These flowers are the flowers on the other side of death

He raised his head sharply, only to notice that there was a tiny, blood-colored hole in Mu Xiyao's heart. There was no blood coming out, but it was so glaring.

No wonder she kept leaning sideways to talk to me

No, it's not true, I still have a lot to say, I haven't really expressed my heart, I haven't realized the prosperity of taking you to see the country, how can you leave me and leave alone

No

Ye Shuqiu saw that Mu Xiyao turned around slightly, glanced at him with affection, and then stepped into a bottomless abyss.

"Xi Yao!"

"Lord Ye!"

"Xiangye! What's wrong with you?! ”
