Chapter 38: Selfishness

Xiahou Xiu, who should have been unconscious, suddenly clenched Nan Xuebai's hand hard, making her groggy consciousness clear for a moment, and then it was as if she had fallen into some illusion, surrounded by dots of light.

Xiahou Xiu was dressed in a moon-white robe like a breeze, and slowly walked into Nanxuebai's field of vision. He smiled at her, Nan Xuebai felt uneasy and felt as if she was about to lose something, Xiahou Xiu walked up to her and hugged her into his arms.

"Xiahou Xiu you..." Nan Xuebai was stunned.

"Don't talk, Cher listen to me, I don't have much time."

Nan Xuebai opened her mouth but finally didn't say anything, raised her hand and hugged Xiahou Xiu.

"You must be curious why I was so kind to you after bringing you back from the execution ground." He lowered his eyebrows, "I am selfish, when the Queen Mother did not take out the edict, Chen Xi asked me, if the Queen Mother did not take out the edict, I would save you." At that time, I replied like this, what is the use of useless chess pieces. ”

"Xue'er, I'm selfish after all, I was suspicious when the Lord asked me to make a deal with you at the beginning, just because there was no need to make such a big detour for the sake of the edict. Then when Wan Qian said that it was the Lord who ordered him to bring you back, I knew that you might be the Lord said, in addition to the phoenix, there is another medicine that can save me. ”

"I've always known it, but I'm still selfishly keeping you in the palace, blindly treating you is just to make you feel guilty about me, the lord said that borrowing souls requires both of them to be willing, so I single-handedly controlled everything that happened before. I was not involved in the arrangement, but I was fully aware of it. ”

"The lord asked Wan Qi to deliberately provoke the queen mother and force the queen mother to kill you, and the lord had long expected that the queen mother would deal with me together, so he stunned everyone in the palace early in the morning, in order to let me block the damage for you, so as to make you feel guilty, and he succeeded."

"Wan Qi rescued you from the prison and received a letter from the Lord, the day of the canonization was chosen by the Lord himself, even if you don't test me that day, he will think of another way to make me hurt because of you. Later, I asked you to leave the palace, in fact, I asked Yueshen to look for you at the beginning, saying that I only have half a year, and if you return to the palace, it will show that you are willing to die for me. ”

"Cher, do you know? I, Xiahou Xiu, actually calculated you at the beginning. But calculating that you are more of a lord, and when you wake up, you must not hesitate to hit him in the heart, otherwise he will not let you live. ”

His voice was low and tactful, and Nan Xuebai laughed when she listened to it, but suddenly cried again. "Xiahou Xiu, so what are you telling me these things for?"

He finally pulled her out of his arms, looked at her fixedly with a pair of warm eyebrows, and the corners of his lips were dyed with a bitter smile, "Xue'er, you should hate me." It was my selfishness that put you in this position, and if this ritual is completed, you will be the one who dies. ”

Nan Xuebai cried and laughed, it was undeniable that she was indeed a little angry when she heard this, but more than that, she was sad. Sad for Xiahou Xiu, in the end, didn't he want to deceive her?

"You should keep it a secret from me and let me die for you willingly."

Xiahou Xiu suddenly imprinted a kiss on her forehead, leaned down and whispered in her ear, "The country of Xiahou's family will be taken care of by you for me, but if it falls into the hands of others, Xue'er will definitely ruin this country." ”

"I believe in you, you can do it."

Xiahou Xiu's body gradually became transparent, Nan Xuebai wanted to shout, wanted to touch him and catch him, but his body suddenly fell into the abyss.

Xiahou Xiu's body in the imperial mausoleum suddenly fell. fell to the ground, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with blood. The Venerable Lord and Yue Shen were startled, the Venerable Lord's eyes sank and he wanted to raise his hand to lift Xia Hou Xiu's body again, the red light gradually moved away from Nan Xue Bai, as if he wanted to return to Xia Hou Xiu's body.

But the Venerable Lord cut his fingers and the blood flowed sideways, and he quickly bowed down on the ground to draw a complicated and strange circular formation, and re-chanted the incantation, and after a while, on the circular sacrificial pattern, two clouds of red and blue ghostly light appeared, intertwined with each other.

Looking closely, it turned out to be the same as the light above Nan Xuebai Xiahou Xiu, and Xiahou Xiu's body slowly got up in a state where he wanted to get up, and tears flowed from the corners of Nan Xuebai's eyes, disappearing in his hair.

Wan Qi pursed the corners of his mouth, Xiahou Xiu's body was already parallel to Nan Xuebai again, and the two rays of light were entangled, and finally separated. As in the first case, the red light slowly swirled above Nan Xuebai, striking her at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If it blends with the red light, Nanxue Bai will be finished!

The depth of the moon is also a heart tight, and the unsteadiness in the heart is getting deeper and deeper. A few days ago, he watched the sky at night, Xiahou Xiu's life star fell, but Nan Xuebai showed the image of an emperor. This made him puzzled, how could a woman have the image of an emperor?

He would rather have seen it wrong, but then he felt that if the two of them exchanged their lives, Nan Xuebai's life would become Xiahou Xiu's, wouldn't it be like an emperor? But the brows are getting tighter and tighter.

With a bang, a flash of silver light flashed straight towards the Venerable Lord, it was an arrow! Yueshen reacts extremely sensitively and doesn't care about farts. The pain on the thigh rotated and held the arrow in the palm of his hand, his face was condensed, and the sword body was covered with small thorns.

He immediately threw away his sword, but it was too late. I saw that the blood in the palm of my hand had turned black, and the arrow body was coated with poison. At that moment, he started to seal his acupoint, and his eyes couldn't help but fall at the entrance of the imperial mausoleum, and he saw the queen mother in a gorgeous dress standing there, with a sneer on the corner of her lips.

Looking at Nan Xuebai and Xiahou Xiu again, the red light was already next to Nan Xuebai's forehead, cold sweat oozed from the forehead of the lord, and his eyes saw the Queen Mother, his brows were tightly twisted, but he could only focus on Nan Xuebai and Xiahou Xiu.

Xiahou Xiu suddenly opened his eyes, and looked at Nan Xuebai, whose eyes were closed but tears were flowing in a flash of light, and his eyebrows and eyes were warm and chuckled. Nan Xuebai is a kind person, so he is willing to hand over the country to her, because he knows that Nan Xuebai will definitely find a suitable person to inherit the century-old foundation of the Xiahou family.

The red light was about to enter Nan Xuebai's body, but Xiahou Xiu suddenly let go of her hand and fell to the ground again.

The Venerable Lord's face turned pale and a mouthful of blood spit out, and the two rays of light in front of him were extinguished, even the light above Nan Xuebai and Xiahou Xiu was extinguished. Nan Xuebai's body also fell down hard at that moment, and Wan Qiyan quickly caught her.

I saw that her eyes were closed but she kept crying.

The Venerable Lord covered his heart, but his jaw was bloody, and he looked at Xiahou Xiu in pain. The Queen Mother walked close to a few people, with a smile on her face, "The mourning family is wondering, where has this person gone?" It turns out that I am here to accompany the lord! ”

The Queen Mother holds a bow and arrows in one hand and two arrows in the other.

Her eyes fell on Xiahou Xiu, and she finally burst into a good-looking smile, everything was as expected, she expected things to be like this from the time she told Xiahou Xiu. But the Queen Mother didn't know, in fact, Xiahou Xiu had long known that things would become like this, and he had long been ready to die.
