Out of the Tibetan Sword Villa, there is the old department of the Xuan Palace waiting outside. Pick her up all the way to a hidden courtyard.

Lu Yu helped her settle Su Xingyun on the one hand, and said: "Young Palace Master, don't worry, it's safe here, and your subordinates will help you deal with your injuries first." ”

When Su Nianchi was fighting, there was a slight sword wound on his body, and he didn't care, so he said, "No need, you can take a look for your aunt first." ”

Lu Yu and Shen who came in together were all shocked, "This is the Holy Maiden?" ”

Su Nianchi closed his eyes fiercely and gritted his teeth without saying a word.

Lu Yu has only been in charge of medicine for a few years, but he is the most valued apprentice of the previous medicine, and as early as when he was young, he won the praise of the former medicine "green out of the blue". After the death of the previous director of medicine, she took charge of the position of director of medicine, good at research, and not rigid, but did not insult these four words of praise.

After she was startled, she immediately regained her emotions and stepped forward to reach out to Su Xingyun's pulse.

After a while, her complexion changed slightly, and she pulled Su Xingyun's left arm, and when she saw the "lonely cold plum" with her own eyes, her eyes gradually dimmed.

"How's my aunt?"

Lu Yu raised his eyes and glanced at Su Nianchi, but he said to Shen Zui: "The matter of returning to the young palace master involves the secret of the Xuan Palace, you step back first." ”

Shen Zui glanced at her coldly, "When will it be your turn to give me orders?" ”

"Shen drunk," Su Nianchi said, "You go out first, now everything is focused on your aunt." ”

Shen Zui snorted coldly and walked through the window.

Lu Yu said: "The young palace master blames me in my heart for manipulating the situation and fighting with him for power?" ”

Su Nianchi said: "You can handle it, and it's also your ability." ”

"Not bad," Lu Yu smiled, "but this time, it's really not for that. ”

"Tell me, what's going on with my aunt?"

Lu Yu's smile faded, and his eyes were solemn again, "Young Palace Master, please look at the 'Lonely Standard Hanmei' on the Holy Maiden's arm." ”

Su Nianchi couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, the plum blossom was broken by the penetration of Wen Jiu's utilitarian blade, but because the wound was not very big, the blood had stopped, but it was still as red as blood, and the bright and delicate plum blossom imprint, I don't know when, had turned into a dark and dull ink.

"That dagger is poisonous?" She asked.

Lu Yu shook his head, "No. I reprimanded Shen Drunk, and I want to return to the young palace master, this is the secret, the secret of 'Lonely Standard Hanmei'. ”

Su Nianchi didn't say a word, waiting for her to speak.

Lu Yu said: "The secret of 'Lone Standard Hanmei' has always been known only to the palace master, the saint and the medicine, and the outside world is rumored to be mysterious, but in fact, it is not a big deal, it is just a blood curse." ”

"Is it really a blood curse?"

"That's right," Lu Yu nodded, and said, "The 'Lonely Standard Hanmei' on the arms of the saints of the past dynasties is made by the saints pouring the blood of the virgin and applying poison spells by the medicine. ”

Su Nianchi thought about it for a while and asked, "The blood curse is open, but I need to pierce the plum shape?" ”

"That's right," Lu Yu said, and sighed lightly, "The young palace master has asked like this, thinking that the Holy Maiden has already cast the power of the blood curse, and it has been consumed quite deeply, otherwise this 'lonely standard cold plum' would not have failed to become such a color." ”

"What does that mean?"

Lu Yu said: "The young palace master has ever thought that since he has obtained a hundred times the power of his own body, why not everyone does it, why only on the holy woman?" That's because the backlash of this 'lonely standard Hanmei' is not something that anyone can afford. In addition to having to put the blood of the virgin into the spell, every winter solstice, it is also necessary to take the blood of the heart to nourish it - these are nothing, the most important thing is that once this blood spell is opened, although it can make its main power improve by leaps and bounds, it is also extremely damaging to itself, and it can only solve the difficulty for a while, and then it will take three or five years to retreat and recuperate. And if it is forcibly grabbed and the loss is too much, then the Daluo Immortal will not be able to save it. ”

After Lu Yu finished speaking, he sighed silently in his heart, thinking that this is also the reason why the saints of the past dynasties must use blood into the spell and be accompanied by this "lonely standard Hanmei" for life, after all, the status of the saint is respected, once she falls into the hands of the enemy, she needs to protect herself - at least the power of suicide, and she must not be humiliated and involve the Xuan Palace.

And Su Nianchi looked at the ink-colored "Lonely Standard Hanmei" in a daze, "What do you mean, aunt she ......"

Lu Yu said: "I think that the Holy Maiden has suffered a lot over the years, her body is not good, and she has grabbed the power of the blood curse, and the damage is too much, and now it is difficult to return." ”

Su Nianchi grabbed her hand, "You save her." ”

Lu Yu looked directly into her eyes calmly, "Lu Yu has healed the injury, but he can't cure his life, and the young palace master forgives his sins." ”

Su Nianchi let go of his hand, "That's why my father knocked her out, just to prevent her from being too depleted, but it turned out to be too late." ”

Lu Yu was silent for a moment, and said: "I will apply a needle to make the holy woman come to her senses again, the young palace master has something to say, just say it as soon as possible, she can't wait too long." ”

When Su Xingyun opened his eyes again, Lu Yu had already collected the needle and left, and Su Nianchi was the only one left in the house.

"Chi'er, let my aunt take a good look at you." As she spoke, she was about to reach out to pull Su Nianchi's veil, but Su Nianchi held her hand.

"Auntie, my face was ruined when I entered the fire before, just remember what I looked like before."

It was not to disobey her elders at the last moment, but she did not want her aunt to see her scarred face, she was afraid that she would be sad, just as she was sad when she saw what she was suffering.

Su Xingyun's hand paused, "So, what they said is true, you didn't hesitate to set fire in order to pretend to be Zhuang Nanyi's identity*?" ”

Su Nianchi lowered his eyelids, "Yes." ”

"You fool!" Su Xingyun regretted and coughed violently, "Your father actually agreed with you to hurt yourself like this?" ”

"Daddy didn't know it, it was me who wanted to help him."

Su Nianchi said as he hurriedly transferred his internal force into Su Xingyun's body, intending to help her ease her breath, but found that it was useless, or Su Xingyun choked on himself for a long time and gradually eased up.

Her eyes were full of sadness, "Good boy, it doesn't work, don't do this useless thing." I think it's also my retribution, I was confused by ghosts back then, but I was so tired that your father and daughter were tormenting their hearts and minds alone in the Xuan Palace, I'm sorry for you......"

Her hoarse voice choked, but her cloudy eyes could not shed tears, only her thin body was constantly trembling.

"Auntie, don't say that, don't worry, I won't spare the people who hurt you." Su Nianchi held Su Xingyun's hand tightly.

Su Xingyun shook his head, "I believed the wrong person, and I took the blame, but Chi'er, you must not follow your aunt's old path again, what is the matter between you and the Wen family?" ”

Su Nianchi didn't expect her aunt to suddenly mention Wen Shu, only to feel a pain in her heart, and lowered her eyes, but she didn't know where to start.

Seeing her like this, Su Xingyun sighed, "Your palm could have taken his life, but no, I know that you are not all using him, and now it seems that I am afraid that you are much deeper than I thought." ”

"Auntie, it's impossible for me to be with him." Su Nianchi said lightly.

Su Xingyun looked at her, "But you still can't let go of him in your heart, right?" ”

Su Nianchi opened his eyes and did not speak.

Su Xingyun sighed and slowly spoke: "Chi'er, do you know how my aunt and I ended up in this situation?" ”

Nian Chi hesitated for a moment and said: "I vaguely heard that it was my aunt who met the person she liked, so she left the Xuan Palace with him, and my father searched for it many times later, but he couldn't find it. ”

Su Xingyun nodded, "Yes, I gave up the Xuangong Palace for the sake of a man, left my relatives and left with him, but what about him, he poisoned me on the night of our wedding, and he handed over a glass of wine...... When I wake up, the man is locked in the dungeon of the Hidden Sword Villa, how can you find it? ”

Su Nianchi held Su Xingyun's hand, feeling that the dry hand was trying very hard to suppress it, but it was still trembling slightly that couldn't be suppressed, just like her voice.

"He is the so-called decent young man, a famous boy, when he knew me, he didn't know my identity, and then he found out, and he hated me for deceiving, and he was also estranged and left, but later, he came back...... He said that he couldn't let me go, and asked me if I was willing to leave everything behind and everything he would retire to, and never ask about the world...... I was so happy like something...... But he never thought it was his trap......"

"Auntie......"

Su Nianchi felt sad in her heart, but she couldn't say words of comfort, but Su Xingyun suddenly grabbed her hand, "So Chi'er, you remember, these famous disciples of these famous families, who boast of being chivalrous, look down on the people of our Xuangong from the bottom of their hearts." or there is true love, but it is only a temporary infatuation. In their hearts, there is always only 'slaying demons and eliminating demons', and Kuang Zheng Wulin is their lifelong wish...... I didn't believe it before, so I ended up now, do you know how I've come through the past ten years...... Do you know how much I was tortured...... I can't even kill myself...... If it weren't for the fact that Old Thief Wen had no intention of touching the blood curse today, I would have died and would have nowhere to vent my ten years of humiliation and remorse...... The mistakes I have made, you must not make them again, that Wen family is definitely not a good match for you, Chi'er, you remember, you must remember, so as not to be in vain Aunt ......"

Su Xingyun's voice was already hoarse, and when he said that he was sad and sad in the back, he was like a ghost in the underworld, and every sentence was like a sharp blade, slashing at Su Nianchi's heart.

She couldn't finish her last sentence, but the only remaining cloudy eye was still not closed, and she held Su Nianchi's hand tightly, and she didn't relax.

Su Nianchi had tears in his eyes, and after a long time, he raised his hand and gently closed Su Xingyun's eyes, "Auntie, don't worry, I know what to do." ”
