Xiao Wanyan's mind was empty when she woke up, she seemed to have forgotten something important, but she couldn't remember it anyway, but when she saw Qi Jiuchen for the first time, vague fragments always flashed in her mind, a man hugged her, and she always had a pain in her chest at this time.

When she looked at Qi Jiuchen, the pain was not so bad, she was sure that this person was someone he knew very well, and even her closest person.

Qi Jiuchen told her that this is Yiwang's Mansion, and she is the mistress of Yiwang's Mansion and his princess, these days Qi Jiuchen has taken her to familiarize herself with everything in the mansion, she seems to remember this place, and she is very familiar with it.

Qi Jiuchen usually has nothing to do, except that the last dynasty is to accompany her in the mansion, she is a person who is not good at words, and always likes to listen to Qi Jiuchen quietly tell their previous stories.

Sitting in the pavilion, enjoying the beautiful scenery in the lake, eating the grapes fed by Qi Jiuchen, sweet in her heart, she snuggled in Qi Jiuchen's arms, and said softly: "Jiuchen, you said that my relatives were killed by thieves?" ”

Qi Jiuchen said with a sad face: "It's all because I didn't protect you well, let the thieves take advantage of it, kidnap you, threaten your parents, and finally your parents died in the hands of the thieves in order to save you." ”

As if empathizing, a touch of blood flashed in Xiao Wanyan's mind, and in the dark night, the corpses were all over the ground, and the blood flowed like a river, and her eyes were red: "Who killed them?" ”

Qi Jiuchen sighed: "Don't ask, I'll solve this matter." ”

Xiao Wanyan doesn't like the feeling of being kept in the dark, but she is not the temperament to break the casserole and ask to the end, and then said silently: Since this is the case, then I will go back first, I am a little tired.

After that, she got up and was about to leave, how could Qi Jiuchen not hear such an obvious excuse, he grabbed Xiao Wanyan's arm, and said helplessly: "It's the prime minister, he has always been ruthless, he does whatever he wants, killing people is just commonplace in his eyes, you are still weak now, you can't face him head-on." ”

Xiao Wanyan lowered her eyes and didn't say a word.

Xiao Wanyan, who had no memory, was a little quieter than before, and Qi Jiuchen didn't care, and continued: "I will deal with these things, don't worry, one day, I will avenge you." ”

Xiao Wanyan nodded, and let Qi Jiuchen hold her in his arms: "I believe in you." ”

Since bringing Xiao Wanyan back, Qi Jiuchen has assigned all the secret guards to guard in the Phantom Mountain Courtyard, and secretly monitored Xiao Wanyan's every move.

In her sleep, she was awakened again and again, covered with cold sweat, and when she opened her eyes, it seemed that there was yellow sand and white bones in front of her, she curled her legs, clutching the corners of the quilt and covering herself.

She recalled Qi Jiuchen's words, a name came to her mind, and she whispered, "Chu Huairan." ”

The name was somewhat familiar to her, probably because it was an enemy, but she remembered it very clearly.

Xiao Wanyan was sitting alone in the courtyard blowing the wind, just in time for Qi Jiuchen to come back from outside, and when she saw the people in the courtyard, she immediately took off her big hat and draped it on her: "Why did you come out on such a cold day?" ”

Feeling the warmth on her body, Xiao Wanyan smiled lightly: "I am weak in the house, so I will come out for a walk." ”

Qi Jiuchen hugged Xiao Wanyan, asked about the faint fragrance of her hair, and the fatigue all over her body disappeared without a trace for a while, he took Xiao Wanyan's hand and took her back to the house, and mysteriously took out a bronze box from his arms and handed it to her.

Looking at the box in her hand, Xiao Wanyan looked at it suspiciously: "Give it to me?" ”

Qi Jiuchen smiled warmly, nodded and said, "Open it and take a look." ”

Xiao Wanyan's eyes were dull, and she opened them in response, only to see a hosta carved with a vermilion bird pattern displayed in front of her, she couldn't help but dislike these things outside her body, but they didn't show them on her face, she just glanced at it and was silent.

Without Xiao Wanyan's happy reply, Qi Jiuchen couldn't help asking, "Don't like it?"

I can't say that I like it, but I don't like it, but the vermilion bird in the middle of the hosta shook Xiao Wanyan's heart, she closed the box and put it away: "I like it very much, thank you, Lord Wang." ”

The figure of the red vermilion bird paused in her mind for a long time, her figure was crooked, and she almost hit the corner of the table on the side, but fortunately, Qi Jiuchen's eyes were quick, he grabbed her arm, and looked at her worriedly: "Wanyan, what's wrong with you?" What's uncomfortable? ”

Xiao Wanyan blinked her eyes, regained her clarity in front of her, waved her hand, and said, "It's not uncomfortable, it may be that I've been in the house for a long time, and I'm a little dizzy." ”

Qi Jiuchen didn't answer, but helped her to the chair and sat down: "Your body has just healed, you still need to pay more attention, the weather is getting colder and colder, I will ask you to buy you more clothes." ”

Xiao Wanyan's mind was not on Qi Jiuchen's body, she glanced at the branches of the trees outside that were trembling in the wind, and hesitated: "Jiuchen, I want to go out of the house for a walk." ”

Qi Jiuchen touched her face soothingly, and said perfunctorily: "After a while, when you are better, I will take you out for a walk." ”

Xiao Wanyan was a crucial chess piece in his hand, and he couldn't throw her out at will.

You must know that in the past month, Chu Huairan has never dispelled the idea of looking for Xiao Wanyan, he went crazy and asked all the shadow guards to dispatch, Han Yi couldn't persuade him, so he could only find Yu Chiyan.

When Wei Chiyan arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion and saw Chu Huairan who was drunk in the courtyard of Qing Shui's residence, he shook his head helplessly, stepped forward quickly, helped Chu Huairan up, and scolded: "Brother Huairan, look at your current appearance, you said that you would save the country and save the people, and you would resist mediocrity, have you forgotten all this?" ”

Chu Huairan took the wine jug, staggered a few steps, stood firm, looked at Yu Chiyan in a daze, picked up another pot of wine and stuffed it into his hand, and touched each other: "Yu Chi, drink, continue to drink." ”

Since that incident, Chu Huairan seems to have changed as a person, he has forgotten his deep hatred, his country's hatred and family hatred, and even the meaning of his existence, everything is centered on Xiao Wanyan.

Yu Chiyan couldn't stand it anymore, clenched his fists, hit Chu Huairan in the face with a hard blow, and roared: "Chu Huairan, look at your current appearance of not being a ghost or a ghost, a woman will make you lose your soul, you can't live without Xiao Wanyan, okay, in this case, I might as well help you, lest your appearance be seen by others and laugh at outsiders." ”

After saying that, Yu Chiyan pulled out his long sword and put it in Chu Huairan's hand, pointing at his neck: "Aren't you going to die or live?" Now give you this opportunity, commit suicide, and you will be able to meet Xiao Wanyan. ”

Chu Huairan didn't move, and his eyes were empty and stunned in place.

When Wei Chiyan saw him like this, he was furious, and said angrily: "Do it, why don't you do it?" Aren't you already planning to give up on yourself and give up on the plans you've been working so hard for so long? ”

Chu Huairan's dim life for a long time finally gained a glimmer of light because of Xiao Wanyan's intervention, thinking that as long as he adhered to him, he could protect this light, he tugged on his shirt tightly, his eyes were full of sadness: "It's me who didn't protect her, it's all my fault." ”

Finally, Chu Huairan couldn't hold back the bitterness on his face, the pretended indifferent face collapsed instantly, he frowned, threw the long sword with sad eyes, he sat on the stone bench, took a sip, and said in a hoarse voice: "Wei Chi, give me a little time." ”

Wei Chiyan sat beside him, patted him on the shoulder, picked up a glass of wine, and touched a glass with him: "On the last day, tomorrow I need to see that ruthless and unrighteous prime minister." ”

Chu Huairan looked at the reflection in the wine glass, it was Xiao Wanyan's face, his face was full of blood, his face was full of resentment, he drank it all, and threw the wine glass on the ground with a snap, he got up, walked towards the house, took two steps, and fainted directly to the ground.

Since Xiao Wanyan fell off the cliff, Chu Huairan spent his days drinking all day long, day and night, he slept when he was drunk, continued to drink when he woke up, and his body and bones were also burned, and now with Yu Chiyan watching from the side, he can finally rest for a while.

A few days later, the Prime Minister's Mansion no longer disseminated missing person notices, and Qi Jiuchen was finally willing to take Xiao Wanyan out for a walk, but she had to keep carrying a hat and a veil inside.

Xiao Wanyan didn't understand why she had to do this extra thing: "Jiuchen, isn't it just going out for a walk, why do you want to do this?" ”

Qi Jiuchen was afraid that she would be suspicious, so he fixed his expression, held her shoulders, and said seriously: "Wanyan, you have to be like this when you go out in the future, and you can't take off your veil at any time." ”

Xiao Wanyan's nerves were a little dull, and she still didn't understand what it meant, until Qi Jiuchen hugged him again, buried his head in her neck, and said sadly: "Wanyan, I can't lose you again." ”

She thought of her own disaster and her enemy, so she also acquiesced in Qi Jiuchen's approach, although it was a little obscured from her vision, but it couldn't stop her from wanting to go out.

Walking on the street, her calm heart couldn't help but be a little excited, but then she pulled down the corners of her lips, not only Qi Jiuchen was by her side to protect her, but also a few guards secretly followed from afar.

Xiao Wanyan glanced at Qi Jiuchen, she had nothing to say, she calmed down again, she walked to a shop where she kneaded clay figures, looked at the lifelike clay figures, and stopped.

Qi Jiuchen immediately understood, thinking that she liked it, and gave the boss a few copper plates: "Pinch a few clay figurines." ”

However, Xiao Wanyan didn't look at it for a long time, she just picked up one of the clay figures dressed in purple and slender in shape, and looked at its indifferent face, feeling a little familiar, but it felt very unfamiliar.

Qi Jiuchen noticed her mood swings, glanced at the clay figure in her hand, and immediately took it away: "Wanyan, what do you like?" ”

Xiao Wanyan glanced at Qi Jiuchen, then at the stall, and said indifferently: "You can just take the idea, I can do it." ”

After speaking, he continued to walk towards the next paving, looking at Xiao Wanyan's back, a slight crack appeared in the clay figure in Qi Jiuchen's hand.

She has changed, Qi Jiuchen has to know by himself that the person who has been there for so many years is not her.

But Xiao Wanyan didn't pay attention to Qi Jiuchen's mood, she walked to a lantern shop, looked at it for a long time, and asked, "Boss, do you have a customized lantern here?" ”

The boss held up a lantern with a novel style: "Girl, what lantern do you want to customize?" ”

Xiao Wanyan thought about it again and again, and in her memory, there were many lanterns illuminated in a dark picture, but the style of the lanterns was very vague, and the more she thought about it, the more dull her heart became, and she was about to lose her breath, as if there was a sharp dagger in her chest that was stirring here repeatedly.
