It snowed all night and continued until early in the morning, without any intention of stopping.

The sky was gray, there was a thick layer of snow everywhere, the old pine in the garden had been crushed to break its branches, and the heavy snow made everything in the distance look white.

Lime held an umbrella, draped in a fox fur, and the snow on the ground was no longer up to her ankles, and she stood in the courtyard, blending in with the heavy snow.

Rui Xue is a good year, but there is always a trace of uneasiness in her heart. I don't know when this heavy snow will fall, and she can't let go of her hanging heart.

"Miss." I don't know when, Jing Chuchu has come to her side, "You've been standing here for a long time, go back." ”

"The snow is fierce, and I'm afraid it will rain for a few days." Lime took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Jing Chuchu, and instructed, "Send someone to deliver this letter to my brother, and let him hand it over to my brother himself." ”

"Yes." Jing Chuchu took the letter, carefully put it away, she held the lime, and said softly, "Miss, let's go back." ”

"Hmm." Lime answered, and she turned around, only to see that the footprints she had left behind were no longer clear.

The snow fell for half a month, and there were interruptions for several hours. In the early morning of the 15th, the sky that had been cloudy for half a moon finally cleared, and the snow finally stopped.

The messenger sent had not returned for a long time, and Lime rubbed her half of the Canaanite bamboo, looked at the silver-white piece outside the window, and sighed softly. I don't know if my brother's place has been affected by this heavy snowfall.

"Miss, the snow is so heavy that the messenger is afraid that he will be stopped on the road, so wait patiently for a few more days." Jing Chu Chu said.

A figure broke into the silvery white outside the window, and Lime looked at the familiar figure, and her already uncalm heart trembled again.

"The snow has stopped today, I'll take you out for a walk." Xiu Yi entered the door, rubbed the snow on the soles of his feet, walked over and took Lime's hand, but found the hard object she was holding in his palm, he looked down, took the piece of Canaan bamboo, and put it back on for her, "Although the snow is heavy, as long as the supply in the city is sufficient, it will not have much impact." ”

"Hmm." Lime nodded, picked up the fox fur and held it in her arms, and put the exposed Canaan bamboo back into her clothes with one free hand, she suddenly thought of something, glanced at Xiu Yi and asked, "What about your folding fan, didn't you always carry it with you before, why didn't you bring it with you today?" ”

"Your brother took it." Xiu Yi took the fox fur in her arms, and after she tidied up her clothes, he carefully put it on for her, but he didn't notice her slightly changed complexion.

"Brother, what is he doing with your fan?" Lime asked casually, and she was held by his hand and walked beside him.

So many people are looking for this pair of folding fans, what is the secret hidden in them?

"For you." Xiu Yi squeezed her hand and continued, "There is a map hidden in those two folding fans, it is rumored to be a treasure map, and there is a healing elixir in the treasure that can kill the flesh and bones of the living dead, your brother is to relieve the flowers on your body, but whether this treasure really exists is still a mystery." ”

Lime didn't ask any more questions, and got into the carriage with Xiuyi.

Although it had been snowing for half a month, the streets had already been cleared, and the streets were full of people and small vendors who had set up their stalls. Licheng has returned to its former appearance, unaffected by the heavy snowfall.

"Heavy snow closed the mountain, the hunt was canceled, and the martial arts were tested in the training ground on the outskirts of the city. The snow on the training ground has been cleared, and the competition is scheduled for today. Xiu Yi said, "You haven't been out for half a month, so you should come out today to relax." ”

"Okay, just let me see the true colors of your Jinnan boys." Lime said, she opened the window and looked out, and at this time the carriage had left the city and went straight to the outskirts of the city.

As the window of the car was opened, a cold wind blew into the car, making the car a little colder in an instant, Xiu Yi fished her back, locked her in his arms, and reached out to close the window, "I'm out of the city, and I'll be there soon." ”

Lime rubbed in his arms and found a comfortable position to lean on, "Why do you want to go to the outskirts of the city, isn't there a training ground in the city?" ”

"Although there are more than 100,000 soldiers stationed in the city, the training ground is really small." Xiu Yi adjusted her posture with her movements, making her more comfortable, "It's not as happy as the training ground of 200,000 soldiers on the outskirts of the city." ”

"In this way, the total number of troops stationed in various places is about 25 to 300,000, and Jinnan actually has 500,000 troops." Lime moved her eyes, and then said, "Hey, how do I remember that what Jin Nan said to the outside world is 400,000? ”

"It's not 500,000, it's 600,000." Xiu Yi said, he played with her hair, and did not let go of any expression on her face, "Whether it is an enemy country or an ally, you must always have something to hide, and you can have confidence only if you have hole cards in your hand." ”

"Really?" Lime smiled, turned around and hugged Xiu Yi's neck, her beautiful eyes flowed, she looked at his black eyes, and said faintly, "What about me, do you also hide it?" ”

"Those who are strong will attack their generals; Will be wise, cut down their feelings. You are a beautiful woman who has used her very good tricks, and you have blinded me, stolen my heart, and messed up my position. Xiu Yi said, a handsome face came up, he imprinted a kiss on the lime's forehead, and whispered in her ear, "Even the heart is yours, what else can I hide from you." ”

Lime glanced at him, and a jade hand pushed him away, "Your mouth is like honey, I don't believe it." ”

Xiu Yi scratched her nose and fished her back again, and the look in his eyes changed a little.

After a short time the carriage slowed down, and he took out a veil from his bosom and put it on for her carefully, and before he could put it on, the carriage stopped.

At this time, there were quite a lot of people in the training ground, and all the civil and military officials came here with their families. Among them, most of them are young sons of families, and there are also many official ladies who have changed into riding clothes and have not left the cabinet.

The emperor was late, followed by the queen in costume, the queen was charming and enchanting, and her eyes were like hooks, seducting people's souls, and she looked straight into the eyes of many sons for a while.

With a burst of worship and a tsunami, the emperor and the queen took their seats, and the competition officially began. The venue suddenly became lively, riding horses and archery, fists and feet, and equestrian competitions, the competition patterns emerged in endlessly, and the sons of each family also actively participated in it.

"The pastry is good, you can taste it." Xiu Yi picked up a piece of pastry and brought it to Lime's mouth, and his other hand was not idle, and he refilled a cup of hot tea for Lime.

"Why don't you go and have a chat with them?" Lime looked at the man sitting on the seat, he really didn't understand, the men's martial arts competition, as if it had nothing to do with him, Lime looked at the pastry again, and said with disgust, "I better touch less of the things in your Jinnan Palace." ”

"They all point to today's up-and-coming appearance, getting the color is a small matter, and being able to enter the eyes of the court is the ultimate goal." Xiu Yi stupidly took back the piece of pastry that had been held for a long time, put it to his mouth, and said slowly, "They play with theirs, what do I mix?" ”

Before Lime could answer, she saw a petite figure walking briskly towards her, it was Miss Si Lok who toasted her on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve luncheon.

"Divine Doctor Forgiveness!" Miss Sile didn't say a word, knelt straight in front of Lime, and shouted forgiveness, "Sile didn't know that the cup of fruit was poisonous that day, and the divine doctor was poisoned, and almost injured the divine doctor's life, please punish the divine doctor." ”

"You said you didn't know there was something wrong with the fruit, but who was behind the instructions for you to do this?" Lime asked.

"Yes...... It's cousin. Miss Si Le pursed the corners of her mouth, and she couldn't hold back her emotions anymore and cried, she choked up and said, "It was my cousin who asked Si Le to toast the divine doctor." ”

"Her cousin is the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion." Xiu Yi added.

"Sure enough, he did it." Lime looked around the training ground for a week, and the prime minister was absent from such an important event, "Why didn't you see the prime minister today?" ”

"The prime minister has no way to teach his son, connived at his son's misdeeds, and received thirty boards by himself, and he should be recuperating in the house now." Xiu Yi Dao.

Xiu Yi's words were light and had nothing to do with him, but Lime was stunned when he heard it.

Sure enough, whoever offends can't offend Xiuyi, Lime thought to herself, "What about his son who is doing evil?" Also hit the board to recuperate at home? ”

"His son secretly brought poison into the harem and defiled the court, which is a capital crime." Xiu Yi nodded Lime's forehead, looked her up and down, and said, "Why is my head not bright after a few days of stuffiness in the house?" ”

Lime snorted coldly, ignored him anymore, and said to the kneeling Miss Sile, "Those who don't know are not guilty, although you poisoned me, but now my body has almost recovered." If I insist on blaming you, it will seem that I am not enough to measure, so go back and copy the Lotus Sutra, the Diamond Sutra, and the Four Precepts of the Buddha a few times, and express your remorse to the Buddha. ”

"Yes, thank you for the grace of the divine doctor." Hearing Lime's words, Si Le was stunned, she didn't expect this miracle doctor to really punish her. Inadvertently seeing Xiu Yi's black face, she was frightened and hurriedly thanked Lime.

As soon as Miss Si Le left, another young general came, and this general insisted on fighting with Xiu Yi, but Xiu Yi had no choice but to escape, so he went with him.

The cultivation is a static brake, a virtual defense of the real, a combination of rigidity and softness and change, and this young general has a steady pace and a bit of strength.

Lime was watching intently, a waiter came to the lime table with a saucer to buy refreshments, he leaned over and carefully added each pastry, "Girl, the prince asked me to tell you, let you move faster, don't let him wait too long, otherwise, the life of the one in the dark prison is ......"

The waiter looked up at the lime deeply, and without further ado, slowly withdrew with the saucer.

At this time, Lime seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, a piercing chill spread from the bottom of her heart, she gritted her teeth, her fingers with crumpled sleeves were already white, her body wrapped in a thick fox fur trembled slightly, and her eyes were red.

She remembered the dark dungeon, which was a mess everywhere she looked, dark and damp, infested with insects and rats, and the air filled the air with the stench of decay.

It's a corner that has never been known, and it hides disgusting secrets.

He was locked up in the deepest part of the prison, without seeing the light of day.

The tattered clothes revealed the scars on the body, the new and the old wounds were criss-crossed, the hair that had not been taken care of for many years was soaked in blood and glued together, and the pale and bloodless face was long gone.

The chains that pierced through the lute bones were rusty, and every time he moved, it was a bone-eating pain.

But even so, he desperately wanted to get close to her, to hug her with his weak hands.

It wasn't until her cold hand was tightly grasped by a large warm palm that her thoughts were recalled.

He looked at her who was trembling as if she had fallen into an ice cave, his brows furrowed, but he didn't ask a word.

As the sun set, the sky darkened, and the competition ended successfully, and the ministers sent off the emperor and empress, and they all drove away one after another.

"Who's that guy?" After getting into the carriage, Xiu Yi took her in his arms and asked gently.

"Who?" Lime was slightly stunned, and then asked very indifferently.

But her heartbeat was not as calm as she seemed on the surface, her heartbeat accelerated suddenly, and she was also a little weak.

Xiu Yi had already found the clue, and she had to pretend to be stupid and ask knowingly.

"Ling Feng, go get that person here!" Seeing that she was still reluctant to tell the truth, Xiu Yi didn't say much, and shouted directly outside the car.

"Don't!" Before Xiu Yi's words fell, she was grabbed by Lime's arm, and she trembled nervously, "Don't catch him." ”

"If I don't arrest him, who will tell me what I want to know?" Xiu Yi pulled her closer, looked at her carefully, she frowned, her eyes were full of anxiety that could not be concealed, he stroked her forehead, stretched her frowning brows for her, he looked at her flowing beautiful eyes, and said softly, "Huh? Lime, who should tell me? ”

Lime was shocked, his gentle voice revealed chilling danger, he was worthy of cultivation, he would not be easily fooled, she asked cautiously, "What do you want to know?" ”

"Listen, I'll only ask you once. First, what are you here for? Second, where have you been for more than a year? Speaking of this, Xiu Yi suddenly paused, he pinched her chin, and looked at her eyes that became unconfident, "Third, was your agreement with me on Chinese New Year's Eve sincere or a scene?" ”

When the dust settles, you and I get married.

Lime suddenly remembered the promise on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and the guilt in her heart was even greater.

The atmosphere in the car was extremely cold, and Xiu Yi's eyes became deeper and calmer as she watched her.

He stared at her like this, silent, just waiting for her to speak, like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who did not let go of anyone in the palace that day, and acted arbitrarily.

He gave her enough tenderness to warm up the whole winter, making her forget that he also has a strong and domineering side.

Yes, she forgot that he was the moody, indifferent and cold Prince Jinnan in the eyes of the world.

Lime sighed in her heart, the troubled times are coming, what can she do on her own? Perhaps, she should have believed him.

"Ling Feng!" He roared, his patience drained by her, and the calm in his dark eyes was gone, and the surging anger seemed to swallow the heartless woman in front of him.

"Shuo Chu." Facing his angry eyes, Lime said, "I went to Shuochu." ”
