The afterglow of the setting sun stains the sky red, shining into the window lattice, casting a little dappled drop. In the cold inner room, Xia Yingxue was looking at herself in the mirror at this time, and the person in the mirror was wearing old clothes and washing all the lead, clearly showing the old appearance. But it's like a world away...

She stretched out her hand to caress the mirror, and her fingertips were cold in an instant, and she couldn't help sighing softly, and came back to her senses to pick up the snail in her hand and dip it in the cup of water.

She looked carefully at the mirror, wanting to depict the distant mountains, her favorite appearance at that time...

However, she suddenly felt a burst of breath in her chest, and couldn't help coughing violently, she hurriedly took the Jinpa on the table to cover her mouth and nose, she still felt that her abdomen was churning and surging, and her throat was fishy and sweet, and she couldn't help but open her mouth and spit on the Jinpa...

After a little respite, she looked down, and the brocade was already scarlet, and the red wet patches were like the blood-colored faint sunset on the horizon, which made her dizzy...

"I didn't expect this body to be so unbearable... The pill came on so quickly! Xia Yingxue muttered, looked at the mirror again, as if to cheer herself up, and muttered to herself, "Hold on to Xia Yingxue, you must hold on, you still have something to do, waiting for you to do it!" ”

As she spoke, Xia Yingxue's expression became firm, she stretched out her jade finger and opened the drawer on the side and took out a wooden box, opened the wooden box, and there was a pill lying quietly inside.

This was the night before she was forced to marry into the Tiger Mansion, and her mother gave her the ginseng life extension pill.

Although it is only a three-star elixir, it is already a great treasure in their small family, it was originally reserved for inheritance and life-saving purposes, but it was taken out by her mother and left for herself, Xia Yingxue knew that this was a life-saving medicine that her mother was cherishing and feeling sorry for her, afraid that she would not be able to tolerate abuse for a while, just in case.

Xia Yingxue looked at the pills, as if she saw her mother's normally smiling face again. Only when I see that you are safe can I have no regrets in this life! She whispered, smiled, picked up the pill and swallowed it...

It's night, the autumn steps are like water, the moon casts clear light on the cold bamboo forest path, and there are unknown birds making the terrible cries of "---" and "---"...

At this time, the two of them avoided the avenue and walked in the darkness of this path.

The one who reconnoitred in front was one of Hu Yue's personal guards, Dao Lang, and behind him was Hu Yue, a hussar general with a majestic face and thin lips pursed and a slightly angry face.

Suddenly, a group of firelight appeared in front of them, it turned out to be the escort team that lit the fire crystal in the Tiger Mansion and patrolled the night on time, and the two of them hurriedly sneaked into the bamboo forest and hid in the dark to hold their breath...

"Hey, it's strange, I heard a voice here...", one of the leading guards said, illuminating the place where Hu Yue had been standing with a burning fire crystal.

"You say there's someone, but look, who's there?! There's not even a ghost in sight... I'll just say, who else dares to break into our Tiger Mansion without long eyes now? I think you're suspicious all day long! Another guard stood beside the captain of the guard and muttered.

"But I just heard it..."The leading guard was unwilling and wanted to go into the bamboo forest to explore again.

"Enough! Now that there's no one here, we'll hurry up and go to other places, but don't delay our business. As soon as the captain of the guard finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the bamboo forest.

All the guards were ordered to follow out of the bamboo forest, and the leading guard was no longer reconciled, but the military order was like a mountain, and he had to follow everyone out of the bamboo forest step by step.

The convoy turned to another part of the house, and after a while it was gone.

There was silence in the bamboo forest for a while.

"General, they're far away..."Daolang whispered, while stepping forward to help Huyue drift out of the bamboo forest and re-onto the trail, and saluted respectfully, "It's slippery here, you must be careful." ”

"Well, how far are we from that Hundred Flowers Courtyard?"

"It's not far away, come and see, the courtyard in front of here is..."

"Excellent! Then let's get over there! "Hu Yue bowed his head, took a step ahead, and swept towards the courtyard...

This slippery and dark place, he didn't want to stay any longer!

Daolang was stunned when he saw this scene, and then his figure flickered and immediately followed...
