Xiao Lianxu hurried out of the city overnight.

Song Yuanxi and his entourage stood on the city tower and watched his figure disappear into the night. The wind of the summer night swept through everyone's thin shirts, bringing a burst of refreshment, only Song Yuanxi silently tightened the cloak wrapped around his body and coughed lightly.

"Your Highness, Xitu is so far away, can Brother Xiao rush back within ten days?"

Xue Cheng was very worried and puzzled, why was His Royal Highness sure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Xitu would definitely come to the rescue? Shouldn't they be mortal enemies?

Song Yuanxi looked up at the night sky, and felt that the glowing jade plate that was clinging to his chest began to slowly become cooler and colder, which was a bad sign. The jade plaque is originally fed with blood, and when the two people who recognize the Lord with blood are about to die, the originally warm jade plaque will gradually become cold, as if it wants to absorb the heat around him, which is why he feels cold.

Although there is no cure for the poison of the Seven Deads, everything in the world is mutually reinforcing, and it is not incurable, but the method is a little more dangerous, called blood exchange. The medical technique of blood exchange is rare in the world, and when it comes to blood exchange, it is necessary to use an herb called purple jade grass, which is extremely precious. But fortunately, Mr. Mei knew a thing or two about blood exchange, and the purple jade grass was not nowhere to be found, lying in the treasure house of the Xitu Palace. If he was still the prince of Xitu, it would naturally be like digging for something, but now that he is not, he has to ask that person to help.

Although he couldn't figure out the man's current temperament, he knew that the man would not die without help. Not only because of the agreement between them to "be the king of a country", but also because they promised each other that they would do their filial piety for each other. Song Yuanxi already knew his life experience, but he didn't have time to find the whereabouts of his biological father and mother, so he dressed as Feng Yuanjun of Xitu. At that time, at the border, what Song Yuanxi wanted him to do was to find the whereabouts of his biological father and mother for him, and this secret was only known to Pei Renqing, which was one of the reasons why he had to catch Pei Renqing. Fortunately, Pei Renqing told him the secret before he died, and he finally found Song Yuanxi's biological father. Now he handed over a letter and his father's token to Xiao Lianxu and brought it to Xitu, hoping that the man would not look at the face of the monk and see the face of the Buddha, so he would save him. After all, this is his own body, and if he dies, there will be no one to do his filial piety for him.

Having said that, in the end, whether Xiao Lianxu could rush back with the purple jade grass within ten days, and whether he would definitely succeed when the blood exchange was made, everything was unknown.

"Leave it to your fate......"

When these words came out of his mouth, he thought it was funny, what a person he used to be, and now he didn't know what else to do but believe in his fate.

"Your Highness, are you really not going to tell Niangniang?"

He shook his head, "What if she knows?" Life and death are up to heaven, you and I can't control it, one more person knows, one more person is sad......"

He didn't want her to be trapped in a predicament for the rest of her life, and she had suffered enough.

*

In the dormitory of Qinglong Palace, the person who had been asleep finally moved and slowly opened his eyes.

It's like having a long dream, and the ghost gate in the dream has broken through, and I am physically and mentally exhausted. In the dimness, it seemed that there was always a white dress guarding her bedside, holding her hand, and calling her name over and over again.

That man's hands were so cold.

She always thought it was a hallucination, but when she opened her eyes, she was really sitting in white clothes in front of the bed, and she was really holding her hand, the difference was that this person's hand was very warm, and when she saw that she was awake, he smiled at her.

"Little junior sister, are you awake?"

When she saw who the man was, tears welled up in her eyes, and she threw herself into his arms and cried loudly. The familiar Su Hexiang made her feel at ease inexplicably, this is her eldest brother......

Luo Fan held her in his arms and stroked her hair one by one, "I'm sorry, little junior sister, I'm still late......" His throat rolled, and the corners of his eyes were a little red: "I wanted to stop Master, but he blocked it and locked it up, and by the time I escaped, it was already too late......"

Xia Taozhi remembered that when she was in the secret room of the Lanyue Palace, she asked why the master and senior brother didn't come, and the unnatural look on the master's face.

"Master...... Master, how is he doing now? ”

Luo Fan's body trembled, as if he was trying his best to restrain something, and choked up: "Master, he committed suicide in the prison......

She froze, and a particularly uncomfortable emotion instantly surged in her heart, as if something heavy in her chest was weighing her down. Although she already knew all the truth, and also knew that the master raised her to use her to take revenge on Emperor Chu, she still couldn't hate the old man in her heart, she was always raised by him, and how could she forget it after more than ten years of raising and getting along?

Luo Fan's voice was hoarse and dry, and he said slowly: "Master didn't plan to go back alive, he has been planning for so many years and has been waiting for this day. He sent you down the mountain at that time, just hoping that you would have the opportunity to blend into the Chu Palace and get close to the Chu Emperor. Who knew that by mistake, you turned out to be the princess of Ling and the daughter-in-law of Emperor Chu. Since then, the master has been waiting for the opportunity, and finally, let him wait for the king of Rui to rebel, as soon as he heard that the king of Ling left the king of Jingrui and took the opportunity to make trouble, he immediately went down the mountain. You know what happened after that......"

Xia Taozhi raised her head and looked at Luo Fan in disbelief: "Senior brother, you, you have always known these things?" ”

Luo Fan's expression darkened, and he replied yes.

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I have sworn to Master that I will never stop you from taking revenge."

"Swearing? …… When? ”

"On the day you were fourteen years old, you told me on the top of the mountain that you wanted to walk the rivers and lakes with me and be a couple of gods......

“……”

"Do you know how happy I was that day? I immediately ran down the mountain and begged Master to marry you to me. I said to the master, I want to marry you, I want to avenge you, but after hearing this, the master was furious and angry with me for the first time, and then I knew your life experience, and knew that the blood feud on your body was not only Yudong Village, but also the entire Xie family. Master asked me to make a solemn oath that I would never stop you from taking revenge, and he said that this revenge can only be avenged by your own hands. I was too young to understand what Master meant, and Master said that I was not good at learning, and if I really wanted to help you, I would go down the mountain and go through a few years of training, so I went. When I came back, I found out that you had already descended the mountain, and I wanted to go down the mountain to look for you, but Master refused to let me go and confined me to the mountain for three years, until then you cut off contact with Master, and Master finally let me go down the mountain to find you. But who knows, when I finally see you, you will already be the princess of Ling......"

"Ah Luo, do you know the meaning of giving you a wooden hairpin on my birthday every year? At the end of each hairpin, there is the word "green pothos", and my heart for you has already been engraved on it by hand......"

"Ah Luo, you have lived for hatred all your life, and now that your revenge has been avenged, it is time to live for yourself once......"

"Ah Luo, you come with me, let's leave here and go back to Qingyang Mountain......"

……

Xia Taozhi listened blankly, not knowing what it was like in her heart. There were so many twists and turns hidden between her and the senior brother, but no matter what happened at the beginning, they missed it after all...... Now she already has another person in her heart, and she has married that person and has a child......

The thought of the child who had just been born and died made her heart cramp violently, and she felt as uncomfortable as suffocation.

"Big brother, I'm ......"

Luo Fan held her trembling hand, "Ah Luo, tell me, do you want to leave here?" ”

She nodded. This place like the abyss of hell is full of youkai who eat people and don't spit out bones, and she wants to escape in her dreams.

"Okay, I'll take you away first, while the people in Qinglong Hall are busy moving the East Palace, and the guards are a little lax. King Ling watched you too closely, and I waited secretly for a long time before waiting for this opportunity. ”

"...... Donggong?"

"Don't you know? He will be the rightful prince of the East Palace tomorrow. ”

The corners of Xia Taozhi's lips overflowed with a wry smile. It's good that he finally got what he wanted, finally got what he wanted, he must be happy, right? They had just lost a child, and she was lying here half-dead, walking around before the ghost door closed, didn't he even care about any of this? Are you still busy entering the East Palace?

She didn't hesitate anymore and said to Luo Fan, "Okay, let's go." ”

Luo Fan was overjoyed and reached out to hug her.

At this time, a cool voice came from the door, "Where are you going to take this king's princess?" ”
