Liyan returned to the prince's mansion, but did not return to his bedroom, but went directly to Chengfeng Courtyard. It was the main courtyard, where the crown prince and the princess stayed.

The gate of the courtyard is usually guarded by guards, but there is no one tonight, and the courtyard is quiet.

Li Yan gently pushed open the door of the bedroom and entered the inner room with a familiar way.

What caught my eye was a man and a woman tied to a chair with five flowers, both of whom were wearing only white shirts and gagged with cloth towels.

Li Yan took off his mask and looked at a man and a woman in front of him expressionlessly.

These two people are the crown prince Fuxuan and the crown princess Mu Ruoyu.

Although Mu Ruoyu and Liyan are sisters of the same mother, their appearance is not similar. Mu Ruoyu's palm-sized face, the willow eyebrows are crooked, and there are a pair of beautiful apricot eyes underneath, but at this moment, the eyes are full of horror; Liyan is a melon seed face, and the narrow phoenix eyes are as cold as frost.

Huangfu Xuan glared angrily at Liyan, out of anger. Since he was a child, he has been accompanied by countless servants, and they don't even dare to let him knock, let alone tie it to a chair like now. Especially the one who tied him up was this blue-eyed demon girl. He knew that he shouldn't leave this demon girl behind.

Mu Ruoyu's apricot eyes were full of tears, and she looked at Liyan sadly, as if she had something to say. Liyan didn't give her a chance. He only bowed his head and was busy with the work in his hands, and did not look at them anymore.

She pulled a thumb-sized reddish bead out of her sleeve and placed it in the censer on the table. Then, he carefully took out the thing he had brought out of the National Teacher's Mansion, which was the size of a fingernail and was also red, but when he looked closely, it was different from the previous bead, it was flowing—it was a drop of blood. Finally, she put a strand of hair in the incense burner.

Then she took out a dagger and slit her left wrist, allowing the blood to flow into the censer.

Huangfu Xuan's brows furrowed, he really couldn't guess what this demon girl wanted to do.

Mu Ruoyu is a beautiful lady, where has she seen this battle, her face turned white with fright.

Seeing that the bottom of the furnace was covered with blood, Li Yan looked up at Huangfu Xuan and Mu Ruoyu.

"I'm tying you here to tell you something." Her tone wasn't as neutral as it was in the dungeon, and she coughed violently. Li Yan frowned, hurriedly turned his head sideways, and the blood in his mouth sprayed on the ground. That's it, her left arm didn't move at all, the blood was still flowing, and Liyan's face became more and more pale.

When Liyan's eyes swept to him, Huangfu Xuan's heart sank, could it be that they were going to be bloodlet too? Thinking of this, he became more and more angry, how dare this demon girl do this to him? He wanted to shout, but his mouth was gagged and he was drugged, so he only made a whining sound, like the whimper of a small beast, sad and helpless.

Hearing Huangfu Xuan's voice, Mu Ruoyu wanted to turn her head to look at him, but she couldn't do it at all. She looked at Liyan pleadingly, silently begging her to let them go.

Liyan didn't pay attention to them, she adjusted her breathing, and didn't care about the blood stains on the corners of her mouth, she just looked at Huangfu Xuan fixedly.

Being stared at like this, a layer of white sweat appeared on Huangfu Xuan's body. has been married for a long time, and this is the first time he has taken a serious look at this demon girl's face. Under the reflection of the night pearl, the blue eyes seemed to glow. The demon girl is really a demon girl, and he really shouldn't have left her.

"They asked me to marry into the prince's mansion to ward off disasters for you, and I got married. Because, that's what my biological parents asked for. With that, she coughed again, but this time she didn't cough up blood again.

She tilted her head slightly and looked at Mu Ruoyu, "You said that you are happy with the prince and want to be his wife, and I also gave up the position of the crown princess." Liyan coughed lightly, "Now, I don't owe you anything." But what you owe me should be repaid. ”

"Murder pays for life, it is justified." Speaking of this, Li Yan's eyes were red, "If you kill my senior brother, you should pay for his life." She said calmly.

Huang Fuxuan looked at Liyan in disbelief, how could she know that thing they did so secretly? Knowing that today, he shouldn't have listened to the words of the national teacher and left her to be a side concubine in the mansion, so he should have locked her in a dungeon and never seen the light of day.

Mu Ruoyu's eyes were full of surprise, this, how is it possible? He had no grievance against them, so why did they kill him? Mu Ruoyu wanted to tell her that they didn't kill Liyang, there must be something wrong. But she couldn't say anything.

Suddenly, she remembered something, and her eager expression suddenly froze on her face. At this moment, Mu Ruoyu suddenly resented her parents, why did she want to get her words back? If Liyan hadn't returned to the Chengguo Mansion, then she would still be the eldest lady in the mansion, and what happened today would not have happened.

Liyan didn't give them a chance to explain, she just looked at them quietly and said seriously: "When I got over there, I met the Son of Yama. Remember to tell him that it was me who killed you, and it has nothing to do with others. ”

Hearing this, Mu Ruoyu snorted and looked at Liyan pleadingly, hoping that she could let her go for the sake of them being sisters of the same mother.

Huang Fuxuan came to his senses at this time, there was only that dagger in front of him, he had regained some strength now, and when she started, he might be able to give it a fight.

Li Yan glanced at the incense burner, and the blood had already overflowed the red bead, and the blood did not dissolve with her blood. It floated on top, emitting a faint red glow that was clearly distinguishable from her blood.

"Go all the way."

In the shocked eyes of Huangfu Xuan and Mu Ruoyu, Li Yan threw out the flying knife that had been prepared long ago. The flying knife hit the center of the eyebrows of the two people, and went straight in, leaving only the handle of less than an inch outside.

Huangfu Xuan looked at Liyan unwillingly, but Liyan's figure became more and more blurred. He has not yet ascended to the supreme position, he still has many things to do, and he died here, how willing is he. As his life drained, his eyes gradually dimmed. Even if he is unwilling, he is still dead, and he will not be blind to death.

The light in Mu Ruoyu's eyes gradually dimmed. There were so many things she couldn't figure out, but she didn't have a chance to figure it out anymore.

Li Yan looked at the incense burner on the table with red eyes, and said silently in his heart, "Senior brother, I killed the person who killed you. ’

At this time, the guards of the National Teacher's Mansion had already arrived at the Prince's Mansion. Although the people who came took out the tokens, the porter did not dare to let them in at will. said that he had to inform Grandpa Mo first.

The gatehouse had only taken four steps when a dazzling red light suddenly erupted in the main courtyard. Then, under the surprised eyes of the porter, the guards rushed towards the hospital.

Looking at the red flames rising in the sky, Liyan smiled with relief.

With the last blessing to her senior brother and her infinite attachment to the world, the light in Liyan's eyes slowly dissipated, and her eyes slowly closed.

"Senior brother, you must live well." ’

Finding that something was wrong, Grandpa Mo, who rushed over without even caring about his coat, saw a strange scene that he had never seen in his life.

The fiery red phoenix spread its wings in mid-air, lifelike, and before he could take a closer look, the phoenix flew towards Liyan and disappeared into her body.

And these are no longer visible.

July Flowing Fire. At this time, it is no longer the season for peach blossoms to bloom.

Sioux City, there is a large peach forest on the outskirts of the city, when the peach blossoms bloom, the ladies and ladies in the city will come here to enjoy the flowers. At this time of year, it will not be.

Some people like flowers, and naturally some people like peach leaves.

In the depths of the peach forest, beside the stone table, two people were playing against each other.

He was wearing a navy blue shirt and a large cloud character embroidered with gold thread on his back. The disciples of the Cloud Sect on the Cloud Mountain will embroider the cloud character on their clothes. It's just that everyone else is embroidered in an inconspicuous position. Only the great elder He Qing's eldest apprentice, Guo Hua, likes to embroider the cloud characters on the back, which is a very conspicuous position.

He is about thirty years old, with a good appearance, gentle eyebrows and eyes, a pinch of mustache on his chin, and a wooden hairpin tied with his hair. At this moment, he was looking at the chessboard seriously.

The one sitting opposite him, who had only passed the age of the weak crown, wore a white jade hairpin on his head, and wore a moon-white shirt, his face was like a crown of jade, and his eyebrows were picturesque. The chess hand is white and slender, with distinct knuckles. At this moment, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he was thinking about how to fall.

"Senior brother, you're really wonderful."

Guo Hua raised his eyes and looked at him, and said vigilantly: "Heng Yu, don't you want to regret the chess?" "Heng Yu is the expression of the sun.

Liyang was stunned for a moment, and then remembered an interesting story. When she first learned to play chess, she especially liked to play chess, but she was not superb at that time, and she was in a hurry. Whenever she wanted to regret her moves, she would say this. Among them, their senior brother played chess with her the most, and it was no wonder that he remembered it so clearly.

Li Yang smiled and said, "Senior brother, you think too much. ”

"That's good, that's good. By the way, don't let Ah Yan know this, otherwise she should say that I ......"

Before Guo Hua finished speaking, a dazzling red light suddenly flashed not far away. The two were stunned for a moment, before they could react. Then I heard the sound of a young man panicking and crying in the forest, from far and near.

"Master! Uncle Seven! Something happened to Uncle Xiaoshi! The boy's voice change period has not passed, and he is anxious and afraid, and his voice is very hoarse.

The two glanced at each other, not caring about the unfinished chess game, and hurried to the direction where the voice came from.

After a while, they saw Si Yuan, a handsome young man dressed in black who was running towards them crying.

Seeing the two of them, Si Yuan cried directly, crying and saying, "Uncle Xiao is not good!" ”

"Alright, alright. Xiaoyuan, don't cry yet, take us to find Ah Yan. Guo Hua's voice was no longer as calm as it was just now.

Hearing this, Si Yuan touched his tears with his sleeve, sniffed, and led the two of them around several trees, only to find Liyan under a crooked-necked peach tree tied with many red ropes.

In this peach forest, as far as the eye can see, there is only this crooked neck tree, which is easy to recognize. It is said that the owner of the peach grove had seen an immortal under this tree in the early years, and after that he made a fortune. After making a fortune, he bought this peach grove and kept the tree. There were many people who came to visit, but no one had ever seen an immortal again. However, occasionally some young ladies and sons come here to hang red ropes, hoping to ask for a good marriage.

When they arrived, Liyan, dressed in blue, was kneeling on one knee with his sword in hand, his head bowed, and his back to the crooked-necked tree.
