Yao Qianli stood by the window, the bright snow light shining in from the outside, and the transparent and full tears on his face became more and more crystalline. He obviously has a sad look, but because of the excessive beauty of his eyes, it is even more touching at this moment.

"Yes, it's me." His voice was thin and extraordinarily calm, "Long time no see."

"You...... What to do? A man who disappeared inexplicably suddenly appeared, stunned himself, and brought himself to such a place, and spoke lightly with tears streaming down his face, all of which was strange and dangerous, and He Ge instinctively retreated.

Yao Qianli didn't mean to approach, he was still standing by the window, picked up two pieces of paper from the table at hand sideways, held them in front of him, and suddenly smiled.

He Ge didn't understand what he was going to do, he just felt that this person seemed to have a kind of crazy silence today, he was laughing, but the tears in his eyes continued.

"Hahaha." He laughed louder, but his face became more painful.

He looked at Hege, and a tear fell from his chin.

"Any idea what this is?" The corners of his mouth curved in a beautiful arc, but his eyes became more and more sad. He didn't wait for Hege to speak, and then continued: "It's a conspiracy. ”

He tilted his head slightly and sighed, sitting on the ground, still holding the two pieces of paper in his hand, "I'll tell you a story, you will definitely find it wonderful." ”

"Because, there's you, too."

He looked at Hege, and there were endless waves in his beautiful and dreamy eyes.

In his story, there is a teenager who was born when his father was still a scholar, but he failed to pass the exam for many years. Life at home slowly became difficult, and by the time his little brother was born, the family was almost unsustainable, and it happened that his little brother was congenitally deficient and weak. So his parents decided to throw him away, but the boy and his eldest brother couldn't bear it, so they took the younger brother with them and took care of him and raised him with all they had.

Later, his eldest brother followed his father to start a boat business, and the family's life gradually improved. Later, he also assisted the family business, did a good job, and was a highly praised rising star in the business field.

"Poverty is worry-free, and wealth gives birth to desire." Yao Qianli sneered alone when she said this.

Many years later, the boy and the eldest brother began to separate and fight for power, and those days of brotherhood were no more. He sometimes felt tired, so he went to listen to the play with his friends, he didn't like those babbling and noisy dramas, but he fell in love with the wonderful people on stage at first sight that year.

It was a very lively girl, lovely and innocent, and it was the warmth he craved most to take into his arms when he was so troubled and tired.

Their love is the most beautiful love at first sight, and it is also the most sincere love between the two. He gave her a jade bracelet engraved with his name, which was to give her his whole heart.

He loved her, and made up his mind to marry her, but before he could mention it to his family, his mother found out about the girl's existence, and his family was already very wealthy at that time, so that she would never allow their best child to marry a playwive.

He was in great pain, but the girl somehow became uncharacteristically aloof, sometimes snarky. They are both consuming their love for each other, but there is still love in his heart. He would rather wait slowly for the family to accept her than give up this feeling.

However, soon after, he was plotted against in a business, lost almost all of his net worth, and became a laughing stock in people's mouths. He knew that someone around him must have betrayed him, but he never expected that that person was this girl. It turns out that she has been having an affair with his eldest brother for a long time and approached him just to ruin him.

It was not strange for him to be betrayed, but being betrayed by the person he loved the most made him feel painful.

So, when the girl came running to see him, he just felt ridiculous and disgusting, and couldn't listen to half of her words at all. He gladly accepted the family affairs arranged by the family, and rejected her coldly and simply.

But the stupid girl stopped his carriage and horses over and over again, stopped his flowers and wine, climbed the corners of his clothes and wept, and finally ignited the fire in his heart. He forcibly asked for her, tortured her all night, and the next day he looked at the red under him in a daze, but he couldn't find her again.

From then on, no matter how much he searched, he could not hear the slightest news of that person, a day, a month, a year, three years...... He hated himself and his family more and more, and he exiled himself far away, not asking about anything, just listening to the plays of others over and over again, looking for the figure that might be her.

Yao Qianli looked at He Ge, the corners of her mouth were still smiling slightly, but her tears were even more turbulent.

"Later, God had mercy on me and finally let me know her whereabouts." He took out a piece of silk wrapped in fine silk from his bosom, and opened it carefully and slowly, as if it contained something more valuable than his own life.

It was a jade bracelet, a broken bracelet.

"There was a guy who came to me with news of her and told me she was still alive." His eyes slowly bloomed with a magnificent look, "You know how happy I am, and how scared I am. I'm happy that I can still see each other in this life, and I can make amends, but I'm also afraid that I'll always be a sinner in front of her. ”

Yao Qianli blinked, a crystal tear slipped down, and her long eyelashes were wet, depicting the beauty of those eyes even more vividly.

"I don't think you love her." He Ge looked at Yao Qianli, "Is it so difficult to hear her say a word?" ”

"Yes, I keep talking about love, but I am selfish and don't believe her at all. Even a little, just a little, it wouldn't end like this today. You know, she knelt in the rain and begged me to listen to her explanation, and my carriage still splashed her with mud. I only felt disgusted at the time, like an evil spirit, my heart was full of only my own failures and humiliation, I abandoned all my love, and then desperately transferred all this pain to her. ”

Yao Qianli held the jade bracelet that was broken in two, and her fingertips were blue and white. He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at He Ge fixedly, as if he suddenly had a shallow smile, "This story is not finished yet." Do you know who the person who brought her news is? ”

Yao Qianli took a step closer, and her eyes were red, like a newly blooming plum blossom in winter, but at this moment, it was as bright as blood.

"That man is her brother."

His voice was low and slow, slowly spitting out word by word, but every time it hit Hege's heart, she was stunned, but he smiled.

"Look, I said you'd love the story."

He walked over to Hege's side, the last tears falling from his eyes, and he threw the two pieces of paper in front of her.

"Look, it's familiar."

He Ge looked down at the two pieces of paper that were spread out, they were two plain notes, and the transcription was the same poem "Tao Yao", both of which were made of silk flowers, and each stroke of ink was exactly the same! The only difference is that one of the pages is slightly yellowed, and it has been stored for years.

And that newer plain note, Hege couldn't be more familiar! At that time, she only wrote the top half of the poem, and the second half was completed by Yao Qianli, so the font up and down was not the same. But on the yellowed plain paper, there is a complete and consistent silk flower letter, so it was not written by her.

How can there be people in this world who write exactly the same handwriting?

He Ge stared at the two plain notes, and suddenly his mind exploded......

Since I came to the library, I have been practicing diligently every day for a year, from writing to ink, he has carefully guided every stroke he wrote, and even held his hand to teach him gently, so he taught himself, and he wanted to turn himself into another person! Why did he do this?

Yao Qianli stroked the bracelet and sat down on the pestle next to the bed. "Do you see?" He asked.

He Ge looked up at him, he smiled and continued: "From beginning to end, you are just a stand-in, a stand-in that exists to protect his sister, my Feng'er. ”

He Ge kept staring at him, his face did not change at all, but only she knew that at this moment, it seemed that someone had turned the cold ice in the 10,000-foot deep ditch into water and poured it on her head, and the biting cold instantly penetrated her body, freezing her blood, and from the inside out, even her heartbeat and breathing were sealed.

She had lost all her senses, she couldn't hear or see, and her mind was left with a dead blank.

I don't know how long it took, but she slowly heard the sound of her lonely breathing in her ears, and it came and went, far and near.

She saw people walking in the snowy streets, their vision blurred, cold and hungry. She wanted to live, so she begged the man to save her with all her might. The man approached, crouched down and looked at herself, she tried to reach for the corner of his coat, but she didn't have the strength. He leaned in, and the embrace was so warm.

He sat by the window and wrote, quietly like a painting. He took him in, taught himself to read and write, his hands were always soft and warm, and his voice was very good. It turned out that at that time, I had already fallen into a trap that had been laid out a long time ago!

He Ge only felt a sharp pain in his heart, and the picture in front of him also sped up.

He desperately held his hand in Heming Mountain, telling her that the library couldn't live without her. They snuggled up to each other, and he was covered with the elegant scent of ink. He went to the temple to pray for his poison, and took himself to live with him in the temple, and they hugged and kissed each other under the ancient tree in front of the mountain gate, and he said that he would stay with him from now on.

But he always came and went in a hurry, and there was no explanation in a word, she could only wait in the days of the library, but waited for his vicious and merciless captivity.

In the next second, He Ge saw Yao Qianli reappear in front of him.

"I don't believe what you say." She raised her head and said vigorously word by word, but in fact, she tried her best to hide the trembling in her words, "I don't believe a word." ”

"You don't believe me because you don't know who he really is." Yao Qianli was still caressing the jade bracelet, but there were no more tears. "The story isn't over yet." He still smiled softly, his eyes shining with a dazzling streamer.

"Remember the guy named Xuan?"

When he mentioned this person, He Ge felt that the high wall in his heart was finally shaken. After all, she also suspected that all changes started with the appearance of Xuan, and Ke had questioned this person so viciously. Just one name can turn a calm and indifferent person into fear and hysteria. Xuan must have a special connection with Ke, but he didn't expect that Yao Qianli would tell him about this result.

"He's a man of great honor. And my Feng'er ......" Yao Qianli suddenly sighed slightly, "He is even more pure and noble." That's why she was so resentful of my family's contempt. He looked deeply at the bracelet in his hand, "Yes, who can say that the princess of a dignified country is a lowly play?" ”

"Princess?" He Ge heard his voice and came out involuntarily. She suddenly remembered that night at the post station, she followed Xuan and easily stayed in the post house that only received officials and adults, and he also told himself about a northland country called Molan, where it often snowed, and it snowed very much.

In fact, at that time, some truths were already in front of us.

"That's right, Feng'er is the princess of the Molan Royal Court in Northern Xinjiang, and your prince Ke is the former prince of that country, and the Xuan you see is precisely the serious prince in the East Palace at the moment. What they want to compete with each other is not a simple wealth and power, but the throne, and even their own life! ”

He Ge sat quietly, listening to Yao Qianli's words, she knew that all this might be true, because all the details were closed, but she still stubbornly hoped to finally break his "lie".

"Even so, he didn't take me in to be a stand-in. You're lying Yao Qianli, you're crazy! ”

"Hahaha......" Yao Qianli laughed, he laughed so loudly, as if he had heard some big joke, and even tears came out of his eyes.

"Am I crazy?" He laughed breathlessly, "yes, I went crazy seven years ago. But now I'm more awake than anyone else. He raised his hand to wipe away the tears that overflowed from the corners of his eyes, "But you are really stupid." ”

With a "bang", he raised the roll of paper in his hand and unfolded it in front of He Ge's eyes, "See clearly, this is a notice of buying someone's head for a bounty on the black market, it can be written clearly and clearly, this person has a sister by his side, if he can divide it together, the bounty will be doubled." ”

Yao Qianli looked at He Ge's pale face, and the sympathy and pathetic meaning in her smile were even worse, "This is a very generous bounty, you have been by his side for so long, whether such a thing has happened, you know best!" ”

The last straw was finally pulled out of the palm of her hand, and He Ge only felt that the whole person seemed to have been stripped of her skin alive, and every place and inch of her body was stinging violently, she opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but found that it was irrefutable. But Yao Qianli's voice was still coming from his ears.

"He's using your life to make eyes, armor, to help him see where the enemy is, you're just a stand-in, an ornament that can die for him at any time, don't be delusional, you've never been his sweetheart!"

The sound of "ticking, ticking" doesn't know if it's the sound of water I just heard, or the blood in my heart at the moment.

He Ge sat stiffly, as if he had lost all senses, numb and motionless.

Yao Qianli also accompanied her very patiently, and the two of them didn't speak again for a while, and the ticking sound came in from the window, becoming clearer and clearer.

After a long time, He Ge finally opened his mouth, but his voice was hoarse and dry to the extreme, "Your story is finished?" ”

She didn't cry, not even a little tear, but there was nothing in her eyes, and they were as withered as the yellow leaves that had finally left the tree in late autumn. Yao Qianli was also an amorous son, not really cold-blooded and cold-hearted, he had seen Hege's bright and delicate appearance before, and now she was so haggard and sad that he couldn't bear it.

He poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, "This matter has nothing to do with you, but he Zhai Ke deceived people too much, and I was helpless." Seeing that Hege didn't speak, Yao Qianli continued: "When he came to see me, he told me that Feng'er was still alive, and as long as I did something for him, he would return Feng'er to me. ”

"Give it back to you?" He Ge suddenly sneered and raised his eyes to look at Yao Qianli, "What are you being a phoenix?" Is it an object that you can give away at will? ”

Her words were like a heavy thunderbolt, and Yao Qianli, who was smashed, was immediately speechless. Yes, no one knows Feng'er's wishes, will she forgive herself, and is she willing to return to herself? She seems to have become a bargaining chip, a bargaining chip for Zhai Ke to use herself and drive herself.

Yao Qianli smiled bitterly, "I have a wrong sentence, you are not stupid, but very smart, and the stupid person is me." Zhai Ke told me the truth of what happened back then, that it was my younger brother Yao Qianshao who framed Feng'er and wanted to poison her, so that she became poisonous and half sick. At the same time, he took advantage of the gap between our brothers, separated each other, and killed my eldest brother. He asked me to kill Yao Qianshao and Mo Lan Shizi and take actual control of the Yao family. can not only avenge Feng'er and eldest brother, but also eliminate harm for the family. ”

"But I never expected that the person I sent would obviously copy the handwriting of the prince of Mo Lan and write a letter identifying the murderers as Yao Qianshao and Zhuo Jun, but when the officials arrived, the letter was gone. Everything is unclear, only the corpse of my fifth brother at the scene is ironclad evidence that cannot escape, dozens of members of our Yao family were implicated and imprisoned, and the eldest young master of the Song Sect was not also dragged in. This is a felony of murdering the prince of a country, and he wants to avenge his sister's death, but he wants to pay for the life of my entire family! ”

"Just to hit you, why bother going around in such a big circle?"

"You!" Yao Qianli was stunned. He looked at the woman in front of him, and there was obviously a sad look between his eyebrows, but the words he said calmly and sharply opened up another possibility that he had not noticed......

He Ge reached out and picked up the plain note he had written, and the fingertips of his right hand gently swiped every word on it, it turned out that this year's joyful life was actually a complete conspiracy. Her heart was cold, as if all the blood had been drained.

"Since you know I'm just a stand-in, it's useless to catch me." Her gaze fell on another plain note, and then slowly moved to Yao Qianli's face, and smiled softly. "I can't get your Feng'er back, and I can't hurt him in the slightest."

"Nope." Yao Qianli shook her head, "I didn't do this because of him, but because there was another person who wanted you. He stood up, put the broken bracelet away, turned and walked towards the door, and stopped when he reached the door. Hege, in fact, it's okay, the fate of the future is in your own hands, how to go, how to use, it's all up to you. Yao Qianli gently closed the door, and there was only the sound of "ticking and ticking" in the room.

He Ge sat there, still holding the plain note in his hand. I was finally alone in the room, and tears overflowed little by little.

She closed her eyes, thinking she would stop the tears, but she still felt the sound of them clicking on the paper. The sound slowly surged, louder than the sound of water dripping outside the door, stirring and pounding the weak heart.

As soon as he raised his hand, the two plain notes were swept down to an invisible corner of the ground.

Her eyes were still closed, and her face was soon cold, but the hot droplets of water in her eyes were still coming out. She raised her hand to wipe it, but suddenly someone grabbed her wrist.

"Shopkeeper, your peony hairpin is still with me." A voice was laughing, "Are you so sad because I didn't give it back to you?" ”
