The person who appeared in the light behind the iron gate was Shen Fengjiu.

The moment he saw the person coming clearly, Lu Zhaoling's tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

She felt a great trance, and everything around her began to blur, white, and slow.

She felt like she was covered by something, and she could hear her own slow, heavy breathing, urning.

Finally...... To be saved......

As she thought so, the strength in her body began to drain little by little, and finally she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

Shen Fengjiu saw Lu Zhaoling in the iron cage and suffocated for a moment.

He couldn't imagine what kind of torture Lu Zhaoling had endured in these few short days.

Shen Fengjiu, who had always been cold, felt a tingling pain in his heart, as well as the anger of leaving.

He saw Lu Zhaoling's expression change from frightened to dazed, and finally fell asleep with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He came to the iron cage, broke all the shackles as gently as possible, and held Lu Zhaoling, who was curled up on the ground, in his arms.

She was cold.

Shen Fengjiu took off his robe and wrapped Lu Zhaoling up.

He saw that Lu Zhaoling's back, which should have been white and smooth, was covered with ugly scars.

Shen Fengjiu's hands tightened involuntarily.

He closed his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, trying to suppress the anger in his heart first.

After calming down for a moment, he picked up Lu Zhaoling and quickly left this hell.

When they returned to Yonghe Palace, Gonggong Zhang placed the two of them, and after waiting for a long time, Bai Heng also returned to the palace.

From the time the emperor summoned Bai Xi, it was just a moment after this time.

Knowing that Shen Fengjiu had brought Lu Zhaoling back, Bai Heng breathed a heavy sigh of relief in his heart.

"How are they doing?" Bai Heng rushed to the side hall where the two of them were, and asked Gonggong Zhang.

Shen Gongzi said that Princess Tongguang was injured and was in a hurry to treat her. When she came, the princess seemed to be in a coma, and Shen Gongzi took her back. Father-in-law Zhang said.

"Is Zhao Ling seriously injured?" Bai Heng said anxiously.

"Shen Gongzi looks in a hurry, the old slave hasn't seen him yet, maybe he is really injured...... Gonggong Zhang sighed.

"Damn." Bai Heng gritted his teeth.

The road to the side hall seemed to have become extraordinarily long, Bai Heng ran all the way, and when he came to the door, he was out of breath.

He pushed open the door of the temple and rushed in.

"What's wrong with Zhao Ling?"

Bai Heng shouted anxiously as he rushed to the bed.

Shen Fengjiu glanced at him and didn't reproach him for breaking in suddenly.

"I had some trauma, it's not serious, I've dealt with it. But it will take some time to wake up. Shen Fengjiu said.

"It's not serious, why can't you wake up?" Bai Heng looked at Lu Zhaoling's defeated face, and was so anxious.

"She was severely dehydrated, physically weak, and mentally tortured."

"Huge torture ......" Bai Heng gasped heavily, and his crazy anger rushed up, making him dizzy.

"Damn...... Bai Xi...... This brute ......" Bai Heng clenched his fists, and his face turned pale with anger.

"I'll take her out of town tonight, you go and arrange it quickly." Shen Fengjiu said suddenly.

"What?" Bai Heng was taken aback, "She was injured like this, where are you going to take her?" ”

"A safe place."

"How did she get out of town like this? She needs to recuperate! I don't agree with you taking her away now. Bai Heng started a fire on Shen Fengjiu.

"You don't need to agree." Shen Fengjiu said coldly.

Bai Heng was stunned, and punched down meaninglessly, forcing himself to calm down first.

He took a few deep breaths in silence, gradually letting go of his fist.

"Shen Gongzi, I know that you have excellent medical skills, maybe my worries are superfluous, but I still can't rest assured." Bai Heng said as calmly as possible, "Who are you, what purpose did you enter the palace, why did you approach Zhao Ling, and where you are going to take her now, I don't know anything, it is difficult to trust you like this, let you take the dying Zhao Ling away." ”

Shen Fengjiu was silent, but his expression was a little shaken, and he looked like he was thinking.

"I know that if you insist on leaving, no one will be able to stop you. But Zhu'er and I are also Zhao Ling's only friends in the palace, and I don't think Zhao Ling wants to leave without any explanation, and besides, if I leave this time, I am afraid that it will be impossible to see each other again in this life. ”

Shen Fengjiu looked at Bai Heng with a sincere face, finally relieved his mouth, and said something that surprised Bai Heng: "She is a person of destiny." ”

"What do you say? Destiny ......"

"My master only inherits one person from each generation, and exists in the world in accordance with the mandate of heaven. She is destiny. ”

Gonggong Zhang was already waiting outside the door with interest, and there were only three of them in the hall at this time.

Bai Heng looked at Shen Fengjiu with a shocked expression, unable to speak for a long time.

After a while, Bai Heng asked, "What is the Mandate of Heaven?" The emperor always likes to call himself the 'Son of Heaven', like his father, is it for the 'Mandate of Heaven'? ”

Shen Fengjiu had a rare amount of patience, and said a long paragraph slowly: "Emperor Anping once got the help of my master to ascend the throne, but he is not the mandate of heaven, and he does not know the inheritance and mission of my master. The ancestor who did what he shouldn't have done has also returned to nothingness. None of them have been able to see the destiny of heaven, but they are just doing some tricks. ”

"Destiny...... Zhao Ling...... Will it save all beings in this world? ”

"Even if it is destiny, her future is unpredictable."

Bai Heng looked at Shen Fengjiu's calm face, and then looked at Lu Zhaoling, who was lying on the bed and was breathing evenly, looking peaceful.

Eventually, he sighed and said, "Okay, I see." Leave tonight, and I'll arrange it. ”

Shen Fengjiu bowed slightly.

Lu Zhaoling had a long, long dream.

In her dreams, she never seemed to leave her homeland, growing up with her brothers and sisters in the royal city of Ryu. The sky of the royal city is very vast, and the blue background is often hung with faint thin clouds, which seems very far away.

In her dreams, she kept running, laughing loudly, riding her beloved horse across the open land, with her brother and sister who loved her and tolerated her, and her best friends who often played with her.

She was wrapped in warmth and love, and those days were happy, leisurely, and happy.

There was everything she longed for in her dreams.

She grew up in peace and quiet, surrounded by everyone for every past birthday, until she was sixteen years old.

She received a birthday gift, a black horse with snow-white hooves.

She was pleasantly surprised, but vaguely puzzled.

She already had a horse of her own, the first wild horse she had tamed when she was eight years old......

Wait a minute...... No...... That's not right......

Her mind began to mess up.

When I was eight years old...... Where is she? She is not in the country of Ryu......

It was as if she had instantly returned to when she was eight years old.

She was in an empty, dark dormitory, and she was the only one.

This is not the royal city of Ryu.

Where is this?

She panicked.

"Where's my mother? Where is my mother......" Lu Zhaoling's immature voice shouted with tears.

Someone suddenly rushed in outside the door and said to her: "There is no mother here, this is the palace of Anping." ”

Anping's ...... Palace......

A cold iron cage suddenly appeared in front of her.

She was kept in a cage like an abandoned brute.

No...... No...... No!! Ahh——!!!!h

She awoke from her nightmare, gasping for breath and bursting into tears.
