In the evening, under the reflection of the setting sun, the death row was covered with a bleak dark yellow, and as time passed, the dim light was gradually swallowed up by the darkness, and the gloomy and poignant atmosphere became thicker and thicker, and it made people shudder to be in it. With a bang, the iron chains that were tied to the cell door fell heavily to the ground, the door opened, and a thin body was violently pushed into the cell by the officials, and one stumbled and fell to the ground. The gray stone floor was hard and cold, and the man hit it straight without the slightest movement, and he didn't seem to feel any pain. She lay motionless, letting the cold rob her of her warmth, and there was no anger in her sloppy eyes. If it weren't for the faint heaving of her chest, who would have believed that this unconscious man was still alive. The servant quickly locked the prison door, looked at the murderer on the ground, and swallowed back the words when they came to their lips. This person is already a dead person, so why bother with her. When night fell, a crescent moon rose in the sky, and through the narrow skylight, the cold moonlight fell on the petite figure, adding a bit of desolation to the figure. As if feeling the chill of the moonlight, the man's body trembled slightly, and he slowly turned over, staring at the unreachable night sky in a daze, and a tear slipped from the corner of his eye. Aren't you giving up? Suddenly, the words of the second lady echoed in her ears, and the funny thing was that her resolute denial was still in her ears, but everything that happened today made her suddenly realize that she never had to decide whether to let go or not. After crying bitterly, she said to herself: It's time to die......

In the past few days, whenever she mentioned An Ruiqi, the divine doctor always flickered in words, which made her inevitably wonder, but the tossing and turning and restlessness overnight made her understand that even if she had to suffer from devouring her heart, she was willing to believe that An Ruiqi would keep her promise and would not abandon herself. Even though he had discarded the token of the two of them with his own hands, even though he had not left a word, even though he had never come to see her again, she was willing to continue to believe in him and continue to wait for him. Because, she never forgot that he was kind to her, and never forgot that he said that he would stay with her for the rest of his life. Brother Qi will never lie to me, he must have something important to do, and he has no skills for a while, so there will be no news, it must be so...... In the afternoon of this day, she waited for An Ruiqi's cronies who escorted her to Beijing.

"Brother Qi is okay?" Seeing that it was the leader of the Shadow Guards, Ning Yue hurriedly got up and asked.

"Today is different from the past, now that the master is a prince, Miss Ning shouldn't say anything." The leader admonished with a blank face.

Hearing this, Ning Yue was shocked, and her eyes were at a loss. After being stunned for a while, she asked in a trembling voice, "...... Rajah? ”

Looking at the depressed girl in front of him, the leader felt compassion, and his tone softened a little: "Just now, the emperor issued a holy decree, announced to the world, and restored the name of the master to pray for the king." In the future, if the girl can see the master, don't forget the etiquette. ”

"Pray for the king...... ......"Ning Yue kept repeating this extremely unfamiliar title as if she had lost her mind. Rajah...... He's a prince! How could it be...... Ning Yue's eyes were hot, and tears fell. When he was a major general, she felt that she was not worthy of him, if he didn't treat him sincerely, if he didn't say that he was willing to take her to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, with the disparity between the two identities, she would never dare to confess her heart to him. In the past, it was like this, but now that he is a prince, the matter of marriage is no longer under his control, let alone where he will go in the future. Even if he doesn't dislike me and asks the emperor for marriage, will the emperor agree? Sooner or later, the emperor will find out that I am not a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty...... I have the blood of the Yue people in my body...... What should we do then? Thinking of this, Ning Yue's face suddenly lost its blood, and the chill that rose from the depths of her heart instantly spread to her whole body, making her tremble incessantly. And what really pushed her into the abyss of despair was the deep meaning of the leader's words. If you can see it...... Is this adult implying that she will never see Brother Qi again?

Without waiting for Ning Yue to think about it, the leader spoke: "The subordinates were ordered by the master to come and retrieve the letter in the bag, please ask the girl to hand over this thing immediately, don't embarrass the subordinates." After speaking, the leader moved his gaze to Ning Yue's right hand, staring at the corner of the exposed bag.

Seeing this, Ning Yue panicked, involuntarily took a few steps back, put the bag on her chest, covered her hands tightly, and asked with tears in her eyes: "I don't know what this big brother wants it to do?" ”

"As long as the girl gives it to her subordinates, she will be able to see it clearly." Seeing Ning Yue's hesitation, the leader continued: "This is the master's token, please take a look at the girl." ”

Ning Yue recognized at a glance the moist and clear jade pendant in the leader's hand, which was the one that An Ruiqi personally came to ask her for a few days ago, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding in her heart. Since this is what An Ruiqi meant, she has no reason to refuse. Ning Yue carefully took out the folded letter from the bag and stared at it for a long time before reluctantly handing it to the leader. After the leader took it, he immediately unfolded it and looked at it a few times, and after confirming that it was correct, he quickly tore it apart in front of Ning Yue. In a moment, the letter that carried An Ruiqi's affection and Ning Yue's cherishing value turned into a confetti. It happened too suddenly, and by the time Ning Yue realized it, it had already reached an irreparable situation.

"Don't!" Ning Yue screamed and fell to her knees, reaching out to grab the scraps of paper scattered in the wind.

The leader immediately urged the internal force and swept the confetti a few feet away with the palm wind, making Ning Yue pounce.

"Why! Why are you doing this! Ning Yue was overwhelmed by grief and anger, and after shouting, she felt that her eyes were black and her ears were buzzing. Just as she was about to faint, she bit her lower lip hard, and the pain in her heart made her wake up instantly.

"The subordinates are just doing what they are told." Unable to bear to look directly at Ning Yue, who was in deep pain, the leader turned around and said in a deep voice: "In addition, the master also asked his subordinates to bring a message to the girl. ”

“…… What words? Ning Yue raised her head and looked at the leader.

"The master asks the girl to remember to be cautious in her words and deeds, don't mention the things of the past, if you can forget it, it would be better." The leader replied solemnly.

Originally...... That's what he wanted to say to me...... Unexpectedly, these plain words could hurt people as deeply as a sharp blade, and she endured the severe pain in her heart, Ning Yue showed a sad smile and said softly: "The folk girl is stupid, I don't know what the past is that the prince said. Ning Yue really didn't understand, what did he want her to forget? Was it his intentions for her, or his promise to her, or everything about him? Wise as he should know, even if she exhausts her life, she can't do it, so she must have misunderstood his words...... "As long as the prince makes it clear, the people should obey their orders." After finishing her words with difficulty, Ning Yue couldn't help but bow her head and weep.

The leader looked back at Ning Yue, and secretly sighed that this woman was really stubborn, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious. "It seems that the girl wants the master to come and see Fang in person." The leader said coldly: "The subordinates dare to ask the girl to be guilty of a crime and try to climb the dragon and the phoenix, are they not afraid of tarnishing the master's reputation?" As soon as the words fell, Ning Yue stopped crying, and the light in her eyes suddenly disappeared, replaced by empty eyes. The leader took a deep breath, clenched his fists and continued: "Since the girl really likes her master, she should know how to advance and retreat, and she must not ruin her master's bright future because of a moment of confusion. "If it were someone else, the leader would have been able to coerce him to the death, not afraid that he would not obey, but Ning Yue was different, first, he couldn't kill her, and second, her obsession with An Ruiqi was too deep to shake. Knowing that the prime minister first lured and then threatened, but it didn't work, the leader had to make another plan. At this time, seeing that Ning Yue finally gave in, the leader not only had a trace of joy in his heart, but had an indescribable bitterness. The master personally cut off a good relationship with his own hands, and in this, there is his indelible credit. Once An Ruiqi is investigated, he will inevitably die. He didn't regret his death, he only hoped that he could remove all obstacles for his master before he died. The master is a dragon among men, how can he condescend to the position of the prince!

At some point, an oil lamp lit in the cell, and the bean-sized flame flickered and flickered. In this rancid death row, the flickering candle shadow is like a ghost that refuses to disperse, waiting for an opportunity to move, and it only takes a moment to take a person's life, which makes people look horrified and desperate. However, this terrible scene did not attract Ning Yue's attention, after all, compared to the bottomless despair in her heart, this small suffering was nothing. Remembering that she had just bitten her lip, Ning Yue silently took out the silk handkerchief given by her smile when she parted, and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. In the faint light, she looked at the stitches on it, and it was exactly the same as the skill her mother had taught her. I think that Brother Han already knew my identity, and he was worried that I would not be able to find a place to live in the Great Song Dynasty, so he asked me to seek refuge with them. She thought that she could leave the capital freely and make another living as before, but at the moment when she accepted her fate, her heart died. She once desperately stretched out her hand, trying to grasp the happiness that was close at hand, but she didn't want to find at the last moment that happiness was nowhere to be found, or it never appeared, and she couldn't grasp anything. Knowing this, it is better not to see it at the beginning, at least, I still have thoughts and hopes in my heart, at least I will not suffer because I don't have time to catch it, and I won't be hurt by the cruel facts. I am tired...... I don't have the strength to struggle anymore...... Mother, I miss you, can I go see you? Smiling, I'm afraid I'm going to lose my trust, will you forgive me? Cuckoo...... Don't wait for me any longer, I ...... Can't go back...... Her heart is dead, but she is still alive, I don't know how long I can live, I don't know how to live, the so-called life is still death, probably so. Aren't you giving up? This sentence suddenly sounded in her empty heart, so she shouted with all her strength: "I confess my guilt, draw a charge for me." "Instead of lingering, it is better to fulfill your only sister. She promised herself that she would never fail him...... For some reason, my heart died, and the heart-rending pain still lingered in my heart and refused to go away for a long time......
