After killing all the guards who stopped her, Honghuai herself was covered in scars, she only remembered that she finally lost consciousness in a very hidden place, and she didn't expect to be picked up by Lin Hao.

"Thank you."

Propping up the bed and getting up, Honghuai said lightly.

She was covered with large and small scars, and although she had been treated, her face was still white and scary, if it weren't for the fact that it was daylight, she was afraid that people would think that she had seen a ghost.

Frowning, Lin Hao couldn't bear to see her subconsciously reach out to help like this, but was reflexively avoided by Honghuai.

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere froze a little for a while.

After a long time, Lin Hao broke the silence with a chuckle, "I'm sorry, I offended." He was tall, standing in front of the bed with the light on his back, and the huge shadow almost enveloped the whole person of the red locust.

Honghuai knew that Lin Hao had no intention of offending, shook his head, and his eyes fell on the window with only a gap on the side, just in time to see the cold plum and snow in the courtyard, a red and white scene.

The corners of her mouth were almost unconsciously hooked, but she didn't notice it, and a gaze that fell on her face at some unknown point was full of indescribable amazement and tenderness.

Looking at the scenery of the northern country from afar, thousands of miles of ice and snow drifting.

Seeing that it has reached the end of the year, at the end of the lunar month, the temperature in Fengying has not risen, but ushered in the most difficult time of the year - in the Mei Palace, the maidservants have changed back and forth, and they all have all kinds of broken silk and tiles in their hands.

On the sharp porcelain tiles, some of them were faintly bloody, and the faint whimpering sound of the maid in the courtyard sounded.

When Murong Zijin walked in, he saw a string of obvious blood marks on the snow at a glance, "Does the princess still refuse to take the medicine?" He asked coldly, the expression on his face that could no longer be described as difficult as it could be.

Several handmaidens looked at each other, and finally nodded helplessly.

Cao Wenxue's temperament, who doesn't know who in this palace? Everyone in the palace is secretly praying not to be sent to serve, but because Cao Wenxue is crazy, he often takes people out of anger, how can there be a few lucky people in the huge palace?

After receiving the maid's reply, Murong Zijin's face really sank a little.

"Ahem, ahem."

Just about to speak, he coughed violently because he was too emotional, and Mo Zhu hurriedly caught up with him and supported his somewhat shaky body.

"Your Highness, it's not too late for you to enter the house and say anything more."

Mo Zhu persuaded in a good voice, and his always iceberg-like cold face couldn't help but show a trace of helplessness.

Everyone in the world thinks that Murong Zijin miscalculated the game, and he lost to Shun Guo by one move, and finally ended up ceding sixteen cities in order to be able to protect Fengying.

But Mozhu has been with Murong Zijin for more than 20 years, and he knows in his heart who Murong Zijin is for.

Although he didn't understand what was good about that woman, as long as it was the master's decision, he Mozhu was willing to swear allegiance to the death, whether it was right or wrong.

Therefore, seeing Murong Zijin's weak appearance, Mo Zhu's heart hurt like a knife.

finally persuaded Murong Zijin to enter the house, but at the moment when they entered the door, a sharp hairpin flew towards them. The tip of the hairpin was sharp and thin, and it attacked Murong Zijin with a swift momentum, Mozhu's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously raised his hand to block, only listening to "Bell!" With a sound, there seemed to be a burst of sparks at the moment when the hairpin collided with the sword body, and then the hairpin seemed to lose all its strength, falling softly to the ground, making a crisp sound.

"You're so bold!" Mo Zhu was coldly angry, and the sword light drew a silver light under the eyes of the person, and before he could make a move, he was stopped by Murong Zijin raising his hand.

"Your Highness!" Mozhu was not reconciled. 678

A pair of eyes stared at the figure not far away, and the anger in it seemed to devour people.

Murong Zijin shook his head, the expression on his face was as calm as before, the woman's actions not only did not anger him, but also made him persuade him with kind words, and asked: "This hall just heard from the people who said that you are in good spirits, and now it seems that it is a lot better?" ”

"If Fang Cai hits that trick, I'll be in a better mood."

Cao Wenxue sneered, the viciousness and disgust in her words made Mo Zhu's brows on the side wrinkle instantly, "Presumptuous, without looking at your identity, you dare to be rude with Your Highness?!" ”

"Why don't you dare?"

"You!"

"Mozhu!"

Mo Zhu was about to get angry, but was interrupted by a voice.

Shaking his head, Murong Zijin suppressed the discomfort in his throat and ordered softly: "Mozhu, you go down first." ”

"Your Royal Highness......" Mo Zhu opened his mouth, but finally gritted his teeth and turned around, and did not forget to "warn" Cao Wenxue with a vicious look before leaving.

If this woman dares to do anything, he will disobey the order and rush in and kill her! Mo Zhu secretly swore in his heart, and only then did he gently close the door and guard outside.

Inside the house –

There were only Cao Wenxue and Murong Zijin left in the huge room for a while. Cao Wenxue didn't want to see people close all the doors and windows tightly, and even deliberately closed a thick layer of curtains, the whole room was extremely dim, but she could still see the mess on the ground.

Before Murong Zijin could open his mouth, Cao Wenxue's sarcastic voice had already sounded again: "How can Your Highness have such time to come to see me, shouldn't you be concerned about the situation after Fengying now?" Or do you want to see how I, a wasted man who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures, will have to reflect on my consciousness after failing the mission? ”

"Hehe, that's really going to disappoint you, as long as you don't kill me for a day, I can live in this world for a day with a cheeky skin." Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar face in the bronze mirror, Cao Wenxue said almost crazy.

The originally smooth bronze mirror was already scarred under her eyes, but Cao Wenxue seemed to be invisible, only stubbornly touching her face, this face she was once proud of, but now she didn't want to see it for a moment.

Dozens of scars, large and small, spread all over the smooth skin, and one of them was cut directly from the corner of the forehead to the bottom of the eyelid, adding a touch of hideousness to the already ugly face.

Looking at it, Cao Wenxue's five fingers couldn't help but tighten, and her fist holding Jin Hai trembled slightly. After a long time, it was released little by little, and the blood dripped down the hairpin body and fell to the ground.

"Click, click." It was very clear in the silence of the room.

"Cao Wenxue."

Murong Zijin loosened his tightly pursed lips, and his pale pink lips made his whole face even more bloodless, he only said three words, and for a while it seemed that the whole person froze in place, without moving.

But his eyes never took a step away from the man.

There is a faint touch of plain white falling out between the corners of the sleeves, and the fine pattern is wrapped in a circle to wrap the graceful and beautiful small characters, which is a "snow" word.

Murong Zijin actually didn't understand why he suddenly came to the Mei Palace, why he wanted to see her so much, and why...... That decision will be made.

But the only thing he knows is that in this life, he doesn't want to let go of her freedom.

"Cao Wenxue, don't think about it, you can't succeed." Murong Zijin said coldly.
