The spring breeze blew through the willow branches that pulled out the green buds in the palace, and when I looked up at the sky, the dark red sun gradually sank westward, and the red was kind and kind, and there was no such dazzling light as in the daytime, but it made people feel a peace in their hearts. This kind of time when it meets the night, Ruoxi likes it the most.

Quiet and serene, the soft halo of light and darkness is like she who has been torn between advance and retreat. It's just that there is always a time when the sun sets, and no matter how beautiful the daylight is, it will be shrouded in the night. It's just that she...... But it can't be like the changes in the sky, there is a definite ending.

Her ending...... She had to write it herself. The unfinished road still needs to be completed slowly by herself.

When the sunset fell from the clouds with its own afterglow, the gongs and drums that had been holding back their strength finally began to sound in unison, resounding through the ninefold sky. Ruoxi, who was immersed in thoughts, was suddenly startled, and looked in the direction where the birds were flying, but the windows of this Leng Xiang Palace were simply furnishings, and her line of sight could not reach that far at all. However, the smell of the firecrackers after they burned out went straight to her nose, causing her to sneeze several times in one breath.

"What's the fuss about?" Ruoxi muttered and pursed her mouth, rubbing her nose, tears were about to remain.

Wei Ming glanced at her and handed over a handkerchief, "Listening to the number of drums, it should be a happy event in the palace." ”

"What a happy event." Ruoxi wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief for a while, thinking about what Wei Ming said, "If you want to talk about happy events, you will only have to get married to Princess Ziyan in the near future, but shouldn't it be tomorrow?" ”

"That's right." Wei Ming also touched his chin and thought, last time the man obviously said that Princess Ziyan and Zhong Wuyan's marriage was in ...... Ten days later. Today is only the ninth day...... A stirring spirit struck in his head, he glanced at Ruoxi, who was meditating hard, and asked, "What day is today?" ”

"February 18." Ruoxi pinched his fingers and counted for a long time.

"That's right." Wei Ming looked real, leaned his head back, and pillowed on his arm, "You may not know that February 19 is the death anniversary of the first queen, so all happy events will be held in advance to avoid that day." ”

Ruoxi's mouth was wide open, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

Princess Ziyan's wedding date has been advanced......

Isn't that the same as ......

She doesn't have much time left......

Wei Ming thought that she was reluctant to accept Zhong Wuyan and couldn't accept this reality. He smiled wryly, ready to comfort her. At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers exploding above his head, which was deafening, and made him swallow the second half of the sentence back. I'm going to wait for the sound of firecrackers to pass. It's in the middle of such a small space...... He was keenly aware of something unusual.

The sound of firecrackers overhead had died down, replaced by a constant stream of red flames, at first just a small flame overhead, and then a line of fire that spread in all directions with lightning speed. By the time he was sure that the area they were in was on fire, the roof of the Cold Incense Palace, which had already burned, began to creak.

"Be careful!" Ruoxi didn't react to what was going on at all, and his body was already pulled aside by Wei Ming, and he completely pounced on the person with inertia. She was stunned, and when she looked back, she saw a handful of burning straw-like things falling impartially from the skylight, exactly where she had just stood in a daze.

The room was damp, but the straw fell in such a good place that it ignited the straw cover around Amin under the skylight, and in an instant, the straw crackled and burned. Wei Ming pushed Ruoxi to a safe place, picked up the thin quilt on the small bed, and rushed over with an arrow step, trying to extinguish the flames with a pump, and when he was busy, Ruoxi screamed behind him.

"Oops! Look at this smoke! ”

Wei Ming wiped the beads of sweat on his head, and finally extinguished the last cluster of fire under his feet, looked up and looked in the direction pointed by Ruoxi, and couldn't help but be surprised, on the top of the stairs, through the fence gate of the Yongdao, a stream of black smoke was drilling in, the smell was extremely pungent and unpleasant, Wei Ming was shocked that this smoke was probably not black smoke after the thing was burned, it seemed to be mixed with other things, and the smell of smoke was more uncomfortable than ordinary smoke. It didn't take long for him to feel his breath freeze and his head was dizzy. Looking at Ruoxi again, it is not much better than herself, and she has collapsed to the ground along the small bed, which seems to be very painful.

He struggled and crawled to the edge of the water tank, reached out, and cursed badly, the old man hadn't brought them water in tonight, the water in the tank was almost finished, he didn't have time to think about it, he tore off a corner of the fabric of his clothes, soaked it in the water tank, stirred back and forth, and wet his sleeves, crawled back to Ruoxi's side with difficulty, covered the corner of the clothes on her mouth and nose, and covered his face with his cuffs.

"Ruoxi, wake up." Wei Ming opened his mouth with difficulty to call her. The cool touch made Ruoxi sober up a lot, and she only felt a hot pain in her head, as if someone had poured a large bottle of chili water into it. Wei Ming coughed for a long time before he could see clearly that Ruoxi in front of him had opened his eyes, and just as he was about to speak, he choked on black smoke again.

"Don't speak, listen to me." Ruoxi carefully made a sound with the help of a wet cloth, and at this time there was already a mess outside, and it was all the sound of joy in full swing, probably no one noticed the strangeness of the cold palace. She smiled bitterly in her heart, she already understood. Martha is really right, that is, someone wants to take advantage of the opportunity of Ziyan's wedding to kill her.

It's just that this borrowing knife to kill people is so wonderful, not to burn to death with fire, not to send killers to kill, but with smoke, the characteristic of Lengxiang Palace is that it is impermeable, if there is a lot of smoke here, it is difficult to evacuate in a short time, plus if some other things are added to this smoke, it is still easy to suffocate a person to death.

She smiled coldly, her black and white eyes were full of anger, and by now, she had realized too deeply how difficult the road to revenge was. It's just that...... If she dies, she can, but she doesn't want to let others take their lives in vain because of herself.

"Amin." She covered her mouth, spoke sullenly, and pushed Wei Ming, who was coughing and about to vomit.

"You don't want to ...... Speak, listen to me. She repeated, laboriously reaching under her cot and pulling out something and handing it to him, "Someone will come here soon, and when the door opens, you can run, ahem...... I'm sure with your kung fu, you'll be able to get out...... You take this thing and give it to ...... Give it to a man named Shirakawa...... He will help you. ”

Help him? Wei Ming looked into the pair of eyes full of resolute intention in amazement, he couldn't see the influence in them, but he understood the deep meaning of her words.

No! How is this possible! Did she want him to run away alone? Isn't it said that it's rare for two unlucky nobles to meet together? If you want to escape, it should be two people together! Wei Ming was about to refute, when he heard the people above in a mess, and some people screamed again and again, listening carefully, as if they were shouting, "Lengxiang Palace walks water" or something like that.

Ruoxi smiled miserably and glanced at Wei Ming, the meaning of that look was to hurry up and do what I said.

"Quick, get up there!" Ruoxi pushed him, full of anxiety, "If you don't leave, no one will be able to leave." She pushed him but didn't push, but Wei Ming grabbed his arm, and in the smoke, she heard the timid words of the people coming from the palace gate, and despite the commotion outside, she still clearly heard the deep voice of the faint inquiry, and then she heard the answer of the same deep voice of another person.

The next second, she stood as if she were petrified, and the voice ...... It was simply a voice that should not have appeared in the world a long time ago - the voice of the Eagle King Wei Lie!

Ruoxi's scalp was at first glance, and he felt that the hairs all over his body stood up, could it be him? How can it be! Wei Lie is dead! has been buried in the imperial tomb of the royal family, how can he appear here at this moment!

Are you kidding? Did Wei Lie come to her to ask for her life?

The people who were waiting for the rescue still didn't come, time waited for no one, and there was more and more smoke in the house he saw, Ruoxi didn't think about it anymore, grabbed Wei Ming's clothes, and waited for others to save himself, it was better to save himself.

"It doesn't matter if he's a human or a ghost! Amin...... Ahem, hurry up, I can't hold on. She laboriously pushed Wei Ming to the bottom of the small skylight, broke the skylight with an object in her hand, laboriously opened one side of the skylight, and stuffed Wei Ming in, Wei Ming refused to live or die, but he inhaled too much poisonous smoke, and his body was soft and couldn't use half of his strength at all, and the whole person was lying on the window, "I can't leave you alone!" ”

"They're here for me, and they have nothing to do with you, so why stay here and die with me in vain? Listen, take that thing and go to Shirakawa, he's in Xinglin Mountain. Tell him to avenge me! Her eyes sparkled with determination.

Wei Ming was still struggling, Ruoxi was even more anxious when he saw this, and he didn't even care about the wet cloth that covered his mouth and nose, and let it fall to the ground, "If you get out alive, it will be possible to fulfill my wish for me, if even you die, then I will really die." ”

Wei Ming even bit his lip, forcibly cleared his mind, and finally glanced at Ruoxi's anxious eyebrows, in fact, the smoke in the room was already very thick at this time, even if Ruoxi was close to him, he could hardly see her face, but he seemed to really see her usually shining eyes, and the determination in them was clearly seen.

Silver Tooth made a mistake, he withdrew his arm that was fighting against her, her palm was already cold, without the slightest temperature, stabbing him in the heart, "If I live, I will definitely help you fulfill your wish." "He himself has been in the Leng Xiang Palace for several years, and he is already a completely abandoned figure, most of the people in the palace don't know that there is another person in the Leng Xiang Palace, if he and Ruoxi are discovered by others at the same time, the consequences will be unimaginable.

When the break continued to be chaotic, Wei Ming didn't dare to be nostalgic anymore, turned around, and jumped off the burned roof.

I used the last bit of strength in my body to return the skylight to its original position, and suddenly it was dark in front of me, and my body went limp...... Like a fish gasping on the beach, struggling to breathe, the black smoke in the room became more and more, and even the eyes that were open felt the burning pain,

Ruoxi looked up at the trace of Wei Ming's disappearance in the sky, showed a shallow smile, looked at the top of the stairs, the entrance of the Leng Xiang Palace, and gradually fell into a coma, "If you don't come to save me again, you should come and collect my body." ”
