Gu Yanran was in the endless darkness, and her whole person was so depressed that she almost collapsed.

What's going on......

How did she end up here?

What exactly is this place?

Why can't I see any light source no matter how I walk?

Gu Yanran's last memory was to take a bamboo raft with Nangong Xuanyi to swim in Yueze Lake, and Qi Yuan and Gu Qiqiao were also there.

Afterward......

What happened next?

Why can't she think of anything?!

Just as Gu Yanran was frowning, an urgent call came from nowhere.

"Yan'er?"

"Yan'er."

"Yan'er!"

It's his voice, it's Nangong Xuanyi's voice, that's right.

Gu Yanran responded overjoyed. "Xuanyi! I am here! Xuanyi! ”

At this moment, the darkness that had been invisible was dispelled by a blinding light.

"Master, be careful!" …… It was a reminder that Qi Yuan flew in front of the enemy.

"Imperial Princess, slaves and maids are guarding this side, you two be careful." …… It is the picture of Gu Qiqiao holding a dagger to protect himself.

"Squat, the sword has no eyes, don't get up." …… It was Nangong Xuanyi's solemn expression.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Yanran's body was unstable and fell into the bottomless Yueze Lake.

In my ears, there were continuous exclamations.

"Imperial Princess!"

"Mistress!"

"Yan'er!"

"Save me......" A strong sense of suffocation and oppression came, and Gu Yanran's eyes once again returned to the darkness that she couldn't see her fingers.

She remembered.

I remembered the moment when she fell into Lake Koshizawa.

So...... Did she lose another life?

"Yan'er!" Another urgent call.

Gu Yanran was full of bitterness. "There is no one who can still have auditory hallucinations when he dies."

"Yan'er!"

“…… Not auditory hallucinations! Gu Yanran suddenly looked up in one direction.

In Gu Yanran's line of sight, a small point of light appeared, slowly floating from a distance.

The point of light got closer and closer, and it became bigger and bigger, until Gu Yanran's whole person was caged into the light cluster, and he didn't stand still.

And Gu Yanran, who was caged into the light group, lost consciousness again.

……

……

"......" Gu Yanran was lying on a huge bed, staring blankly at the dark gray brocade curtain above her head.

At the edge of the bed, a man in plain clothes reclined.

When the man saw Gu Yanran wake up, his tone was surprised and delighted. "Yan'er, you're finally awake."

Gu Yanran's gaze shifted. "Nether ......"

As soon as she opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was hoarse and shrill to the point of being difficult to hear.

"Don't talk." The Night Nether stopped Gu Yanran from continuing to speak. "You choked on water after falling into the lake, and your throat was damaged, so you should not make a sound."

"Falling into the lake......" Gu Yanran flashed the picture of herself falling into the lake in her mind, and couldn't help but shrink back.

The night darkness noticed that Gu Yanran was unstable, and there was a slight hint of coldness in her eyes. “…… It's me who is late. "It's also that I didn't protect you.

Gu Yanran endured the pain in her throat and asked. "The Assassins ...... Today"

"Not today." Night Nether corrected Gu Yanran. "It's been two days and one night since you fell into the lake and you were rescued."

"What do you mean...... I was in a coma for two days and one night? Gu Yanran was a little incredulous. What about Xuanyi? What about Xuanyi? Is he okay? He was wounded several times during his confrontation with the Assassins, what is the situation now? ”

The Night Nethers was silent. “……”

Gu Yanran grabbed the sleeve of the night ghost and urged. "You say!"

"The second prince is ...... His whereabouts are unknown, and his fate is uncertain. ”

Gu Yanran was stunned on the spot after hearing this, and her voice trembled slightly. “…… You say, what? ”

Night Nether hesitated for a moment before speaking. "When the people in the Netherworld Mansion heard the jade whistle and rushed to Yueze Lake, they only found traces of fierce fighting at the scene? Wait for them to go downstream? I found you who were washed to the shore by the lake, and your little girl? There is no rest. ”

"Qiqiao...... "Gu Yanran is a little more sensible." What happened to her? ”

"Like you? Choked on water after falling into the lake and injured your throat, and now you're still asleep? Didn't wake up, but it was fine. "The Night Netherworld.

Gu Yanran heard that Gu Qiqiao was okay at first glance? Finally feel a little better in the bottom of my heart? But that's just a little bit.

Thinking that Nangong Xuanyi's whereabouts are unknown, and her life and death are uncertain, her whole person is like a lost soul, lifeless.

She lost him again......

After being reborn? She learned that he had disappeared for five years.

Finally looking forward to him? I was finally able to be with him, but I lost him overnight.

Why?

Why is there always a lot of tribulation between her and Xuan Yi?

If it is destined to be fateless, why did God let her be reborn?

Suddenly, Gu Yanran looked at the night nether, as if she had grasped the last straw.

"Nether." Gu Yanran jumped off the bed barefoot? Bent his knees and knelt down to the Night Nether. "Help me, please help me again? You gave me a 'promise' as a birthday gift, I don't want your promise? Please help me find Xuan Yi's whereabouts, if you can help me find him? I owe you...... Count me and Xuan Yi to owe you? Any of your requests? We will not pass the buck. ”

A different color flashed in the eyes of the night, and Gu Yanran was supported with both hands. "You get up first."

Gu Yanran refused to get up, and her attitude was stubborn. "Please help me."

"I will send someone to find the second prince." Ye Yin said, with a little force in his hand, he helped Gu Yanran up and put him back on the bed. "Don't worry, he'll be fine."

Gu Yanran has enough trust in the Night Nether, and the Night Nether said that Nangong Xuanyi was fine, and Gu Yanran would not doubt it at all.

However, just because you don't have doubts doesn't mean you won't have doubts.

"How do you know he's okay?" Gu Yanran asked.

"Guess." Nightshade of the Night. "I sent dozens of people to search for the whereabouts of the second prince in and near the upper and lower reaches of Yueze Lake, but nothing was found, and sometimes no news is often the best news, so I guess that the second prince should be fine."

Gu Yanran was not comforted at all, and her heart, which was already up and down, instantly sank to the bottom. “…… Can I be left alone? ”

The night ghost was obviously not at ease Gu Yanran was left alone, and directly pulled the topic. "Don't you want to know who is behind this assassination?"

"Who is it?!" Gu Yanran secretly swore that even if she gave up everything, she would definitely make the mastermind behind the scenes pay the price.

"So far, all the evidence collected points to Nangong Xuanqi."

Gu Yanran couldn't help but be furious. "It turned out to be the Four Princes!"

"Not necessarily." Night Nether shook his head. "Although all the evidence now points to Nangong Xuanqi, the process of collecting these evidences is too easy and a little strange, which makes me think that 'someone' deliberately put this pot on his head."

Gu Yanran heard the meaning of the night netherworld. "You know who it is." The tone in which she said this was not questioning, but assured.

"South. Palace. Black. Bright. ”
