Qi Zhao looked up at the dry tree, watching those thousand roots and bones spread towards the Peony Pavilion, and couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart. She remembered the story that Zhao Ji told her, in every word, it was a woman's joy to find someone with the right heart, Gongsun Qing loved her, but she loved Mo like the wind. Whether Mo Rufeng loves the world or her, there is no way to know.

It's a pity that the friendship in this world is always full of frustrating helplessness, a love debt that involves several years, and it will be suspended until death, but it is never clear and can't guess the reason.

"Lingxi, go find a bigger shovel." Qizhao sat under the tree and said to Lingxi.

"Miss, looking for a shovel?"

"Yes. Shovel. ”

"Oh." Confused, Lingxi found one from the firewood room where the miscellaneous items were stacked, looked at the shovel that could still be used, and handed it to Qizhao.

Qizhao staggered to his feet, waved his shovel and turned towards the shovel under the tree.

Lingxi looked at it and couldn't help but be surprised: "Miss, this is ...... What is this for? ”

Qizhao didn't say anything, just shoveled hard towards the hard land one by one, the wound on his back was still faintly painful, his body was still weak, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

Although Lingxi was puzzled, he looked at Qi Zhao and felt distressed, and hurriedly grabbed it and said, "Miss, I'll dig it for you." ”

Qizhao looked at Lingxi, and handed her the shovel.

Lingxi just digs and digs, she doesn't know what Qi Zhao wants to dig out, and she doesn't know why she is doing this, she only knows that her life is given by Qi Zhao, she believes in her, no matter what she wants her to do, she will do it, even if it is to go to the soup and fire, she will not hesitate to do it.

Suddenly, Lingxi went down with a shovel, and seemed to have dug up something hard. Qi Zhao immediately got up and stepped forward, digging up the hard thing and the spirit rhino.

Removing the floating soil, the spirit rhino couldn't help but scream. A gloomy white skull appeared in front of him, but Qizhao was not afraid, and removed all the dirt from the skull with a calm expression. I saw a broken cloth wrap appear in the skull.

"Miss, this ...... This is. ”

Qi Zhao said faintly: "This is what Zhao Ji left behind, and she asked me to keep it for her." Lingxi was shocked and speechless, and saw Qi Zhao wrap the contents of the package in a handkerchief, stuff it into his cuffs, and then hold the skull in his hand like that, and slowly walked into the Shaozhen Pavilion under Lingxi's surprised gaze.

She came to Zhao Ji's grave, raised the shovel in her hand to make a hole in the small mound, put the skull in it, and then buried it in the earth.

Lingxi's face was dazed, she couldn't understand Qizhao's behavior, but she didn't ask more, just quietly supported by the side, quietly watching her kneel in front of the grave and bow.

Seniors, may the calamity of this life be exchanged for the fulfillment of your wishes in the next life.

Qizhao returned to the room and stared blankly at the fragment of the river map, stunned.

"Is this a fragment of the river map?" Lingxi asked in surprise.

"You know?" Qizhao asked.

At this moment, Shi Yi came in, and Qi Zhao hurriedly stuffed the fragment back into his sleeve.

"Princess, the king has summoned you and ordered you to leave immediately and enter the palace."

"Into the palace?" Qizhao asked with a frown.

"No, the king has brought the flood under control in Hojing, and everything has been arranged, so he specially sent someone to take the princess into the palace. The will has just reached the hands of King Bao, and King Bao has agreed, and ordered the attendants to send silver and dowry, and the princess is ready, and she can leave for the palace on the same day. ”

"Dowry?" Qizhao asked.

"Nuo-the king has announced to the world, saying that the princess is a beauty of the country, and she has been specially selected as a concubine."

"Why not the Queen?" Lingxi asked rhetorically.

Shi Yi didn't answer, but said to Qi Zhao: "I wonder if the princess can be ready, can we leave today?" ”

Qizhao nodded faintly.

"No-" Shi Yi replied, and then retreated and prepared.

"Miss, do you really want to enter that palace?" Lingxi asked with a frown.

Qizhao nodded with a cold look, unable to tell whether it was joy or melancholy.

"Miss, do you know that although it is a palace, it is also a cage." Lingxi didn't want Qizhao to enter the palace, she knew what place it was, she knew that the battle there was many times more fierce than the battle in Situ's mansion, and she was worried that Qizhao's decision would ruin Qizhao's life.

"You go down and prepare, I must go."

Lingxi didn't understand, she didn't understand that once she fell in love with someone, she was no longer herself.

Qi Zhao only thought that in her few years, her family would live peacefully, and then she could be with Gong Sheng well, and the rest, she didn't think about anything, and she didn't want to pay attention to it.

Thorns in the road? Longtan Tiger's Den? Oh, what is there to be afraid of a person who dies without knowing when?

A mighty team of men and horses is ready.

Before leaving, King Zhou ordered that all the attendants and palace people were dressed in red, the sedan chair carved with a phoenix, the red gauze tent covered the top, and the pure gold dragon supported the bottom.

Coupled with the jewels given by King Bao, it is completely a scene of the Son of Heaven marrying a wife.

However, Qizhao's plain clothes and light robe looked a little out of place.

According to the number of rites, Qizhao wants to bid farewell to King Bao and Princess Qinghe in the palace of King Bao.

Seeing that the sky was clear, Qi Zhao held a robe and walked up to the palace of King Bao alone.

On both sides, the ministers of the country watched the ceremony, and Lord Xu also stood in it, but it was particularly conspicuous.

I saw him wearing a red light robe, like a groom official, and he was smiling at Qizhao meaningfully.

Qi Zhao walked by his side, and Lord Xu said quietly, "Congratulations to the beauty." ”

"Kowtow—"

"Kowtow again—"

Qi Zhao raised his eyes and saw that above the majestic hall, it was resplendent and brilliant, and the king of praise had a smile on his face, but he showed a greed that could not be concealed, like a smiling beast, playing with the food in his mouth quite meaningfully.

And Princess Qinghe was strangled with a rope, and the maids around her also tied her arms behind her, and the hatred that burned from her eyes almost gushed out, burning the blind man of Qizhao to ashes.

"Three prostrations—"

Qi Zhao got up and walked down the long stairs slowly, she looked at the hall under the red veil, the mighty send-off procession, like a ten-mile begonia dyed with fire, was crumbling in this steep cold wind.

Lingxi stepped forward to help Qizhao, who was dressed in a plain robe, into the sedan chair.

"From—"

Sheng Le suddenly rose, the majestic palace of King Bao retreated, and the red team was like a blood-stained stream, pushing Qi Zhao to the man she loved most in her life little by little, and also pushing her into the abyss of no return.

She sat in the sedan chair and took out the remnants of the river map in her sleeve, and couldn't help but look at it......

Suddenly, a strange fragrance wafted over, and outside the sedan chair was the sound of a bustling wheel.

Qi Zhao lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and beckoned Lingxi: "Lingxi! ”

"Miss."

"Where did this strange scent come from?"

Lingxi sniffed suspiciously and said, "There's no fragrance." Miss, we are now out of the Bao country, already in the territory of the Xiyu country, they are also interesting people here, Xu is just catching up with the solar terms of Laba, every household is a big pot out of the soup porridge, the materials are different, very interesting. Maybe those smells are mixed together and can't be dispersed in the sedan chair, so there is a strange fragrance. ”

Qi Zhao looked at Lingxi's very excited appearance, and couldn't help but be in a good mood, and opened the curtain to look at the people of Xiyu Kingdom on both sides of the road.

Lingxi looked at the small sachets on the side of the road with a happy face, and was about to pay for it, but heard Qizhao shout.

"Ahh
