The early morning mist shrouded the entire Xishui Village, and Liu Ye and his party set out on the way back, everyone seemed to have a deep heart, but they only hid it in their hearts.

The poisonous scorpion came to see him off, and the medicine gourd was angry with him and ignored him. The medicine gourd identified him as an accomplice of the Holy Maiden of Mingyue, one of the black hands who broke up Tu Qitang and Liu Ye, if he hadn't helped to keep it secret, how could Tu Qitang have a relationship with a village girl, how could he give up his most beloved woman. The poisonous scorpion and the Bright Moon Holy Maiden teamed up to bully the memorial Tu Qitang, and this account medicine gourd was firmly remembered in his heart.

To everyone's surprise, just one night later, Liu Ye had already returned to normal, and she didn't show the slightest reluctance when she left, as if she had never been sad about it. Medicine gourd and Qingling, Chang Hui thought she was forcibly happy, felt sorry for her hard work, and talked about some little jokes to make her happy.

Shizhong didn't say anything along the way, listening to them talking, and looking back from time to time, hoping that Tu Qitang would appear out of thin air. However, he neither wants Tu Qitang to come, but also doesn't want him to come, if Tu Qitang doesn't have the belief to stay with Liu Ye for life, instead of dragging mud and water to hurt others and hurt himself, it is better to cut it in two clean.

However, Shizhong couldn't figure it out anyway, Huan'er and her father had already admitted that their husband and wife relationship was disguised, and the child in Huan'er's womb was not Tu Qitang's, and she even promised to tell Tu Qitang the truth in person and match him with Liu Ye.

But last night, Tu Qitang played the flute by the stream, which attracted Liu Ye, but he didn't say anything, just to say goodbye to her. Could it be that Huan'er and her father deceived him? Or, how did Tu Qitang choose to give up even though he knew the truth?

If Tu Qitang is determined to give up, it will be difficult for him, an outsider, to ask any more, if there is a consensus between Tu Qitang and Liu Ye that it is better for them to separate, even if he cares, he can't overdo it. After all, this relationship is always a matter for the two of them, whether they can hold hands and go on and how far they go, it takes two people to work together.

Shi Zhong shook his head slightly, he would rather believe that Huan'er did not deceive, Tu Qitang did know the truth, maybe he had recovered his memory, and the reason why he did not come to save Liu Ye could only mean that he did not want to continue this relationship. Whatever the reason, he has made his choice.

As for Liu Ye, if she can't get along with Tu Qitang day and night, she will definitely feel very lost, mistakenly thinking that he has a child with another woman, and she will inevitably be sad. But Liu Ye will not force Tu Qitang for the sake of his own well-being, as long as he chooses, she will accept it. Sometimes the teacher will also think that Liu Ye and Tu Qitang may not be a good thing, as the queen of Wusun, she can't give up this mission no matter what, she is struggling in the fulfillment of righteousness or sacrificing righteousness and courtship, she will be very hard if she goes on like this, if she has to make a decision, I am afraid she will still give up her feelings!

If this unpromising relationship comes to an end, it is inevitable to leave regrets, but for both of them, it is tantamount to relief, especially Liu Ye, Princess Xie and Queen Wusun are one, she can't get rid of either of them, even if the long road of life is not accompanied by her beloved, she can still win respect.

After resting at the post station, you can return to the Wusun grassland after two hours' journey, when Liu Ye got into the carriage, Qingling asked her: "Princess, today's farewell may be goodbye, can you really let go of the past and never miss him from now on?" If you don't fight for love until the last moment, can you really be willing? ”

Liu Ye looked back, pondered for a long time, touched his heart with his fingertips, and said with a slight smile: "This is not a farewell, he is in my heart, always there." ”

After watching Liu Ye leave for a long time, Tu Qitang still maintained his original posture, holding the jade flute in his hand, standing on the pebbles, the stream flowing at his feet, and the rising sun shining on it, shining with golden glow.

Huan'er looked out the window again, and saw that Tu Qitang had been standing for so long, and still had no intention of going back, thinking that he must be thinking about his lover who had gone away. After the teacher forced her to say what was in her heart yesterday, her current mood is really much more down-to-earth, I remember that at that time, the Holy Maiden of Mingyue claimed that she was Tu Qitang's wife, and was pregnant with a child for him, Tu Qitang's expression was so unbelievable, maybe even if she lost her memory, she couldn't accept a woman who didn't feel anything!

Even if Tu Qitang did not fully accept the statement that she was his wife, he still took good care of their mother and son, and would come to visit her every morning, chat and laugh with her, and take the initiative to take on the big and small tasks at home. It's just that he never stayed overnight, and he never had an intimate act with her, and it is also true that he was a person who had nothing to do with her, how could he have a feeling of closeness to her.

Huan'er thought that even if she was a nominal couple, she would be able to reap happiness, but when she heard the words of Shizhong and her father, she finally understood that she was just deceiving herself from beginning to end, and what she couldn't let go of was her husband who died in an accident and that good time. No matter how good Tu Qitang is, he can't replace her husband's position in her heart, her husband is no longer alive, and he will never come back to see her and say a thoughtful word to her. And she can no longer lie to herself, nor can she seek solace through the warmth of others, she is already a person with children, a mother who can take responsibility, and can no longer rely on anyone.

Without consulting the so-called "mother-in-law" in advance, Huan'er told Tu Qitang the truth, she had nothing to do with him, everything was meant by the Holy Maiden of Mingyue. The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon asked her to lie that she was his wife and was pregnant with his flesh and blood, and she agreed to this ridiculous request out of selfishness. Don't you know that it has brought Tu Qitang a lot of trouble, and because of this, the beloved woman misunderstood.

After Huan'er said this, Tu Qitang left without saying a word, and didn't see him until the evening, and later, when she heard the sound of a flute, she saw Liu Ye and Tu Qitang talking together, thinking that the lovers were reconciled, but she didn't expect Liu Ye to leave in the end.

I don't know what happened between them, Huan'er only felt that it was his own fault, if it wasn't for Liu Ye's refusal to forgive him, he wouldn't be so sad. Huan'er really wanted to do something for Tu Qitang, but she didn't know how to do it, and whether it would be too late to do it now.

"Eun Gong." Huan'er walked up behind him lightly and blamed herself, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you, if I hadn't done such a ridiculous thing and told such an unforgivable lie, Engong and that young lady wouldn't be what they are now." I don't know what I can do now, but I hope you can reconcile. ”

"Huan'er, it's none of your business." Tu Qitang turned his back to him, and his tone was as light as a gust of wind.

"How can it be none of my business, without me, you and your lover will not be separated!" Huan'er began to choke, feeling as uncomfortable as a pinprick, "I know that young lady is gone, I don't understand why you didn't go together, I regret it, I shouldn't be so selfish and hurt Engong......"

Tu Qitang sighed, turned to look at Huan'er with red eyes: "I really don't blame you, you don't have to blame yourself, okay, go back to the house and rest, it's windy here." ”

"It's all about this time, and Engong is still thinking about our mother and son." Huan'er gradually stopped crying and wondered, "But I want to know, the person you think about in your heart is that young lady, why don't you go with her?" I heard that she has been looking for you for a long time, and it is easy to find you, how can you be willing to let her down? ”

"If you love someone, you don't necessarily have to keep her by your side, even if she is not here, she still has never left me." The gentle smile in Tu Qitang's eyes made Huan'er feel a little relieved, although she didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but she knew that Tu Qitang was not too sad because of Liu Ye's departure, maybe they had already said that one day in the future, they would meet again.

The poisonous scorpion regards the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon as his life, but he doesn't take the medicine gourd seriously, they have been rivals for so many years, and they have been friends for many years, and now the two of them are not young, if they talk about love, they are still mostly friendly. The poisonous scorpion knew that the medicine gourd was dedicated to Liu Ye, although he was also happy to see Liu Ye and Tu Qitang have a lover and eventually become married, but he also had his own suffering, and he couldn't share the pain of being humane to the outside.

For the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, the Xiling Sect used to be all she had, and at that time, even if she had no son, she could survive. But now, the Xiling Sect no longer exists, and the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon only has the son of Tu Qitang, who is all her hope, so she only hopes that he can be healthy and safe, and she is not willing to be contaminated with right and wrong again. She has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and she knows the depth of it, she has long been tired of it, she knows that Tu Qitang's continued obsession can only be a point of no return, how can she bear to watch him fall deeper and deeper.

Forcing him to separate from the woman he loves, he will be very miserable at first, and after a long time, the feelings will naturally fade. The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon was so convinced that the path she had shown her son was the right one and that it would be good for his future.

Seeing the dejected poisonous scorpion, the Holy Maiden of Mingyue thought that he must not have been able to get the forgiveness of the medicine gourd, and casually comforted him: "People also pay attention to fate, you have no intention of him, and it doesn't matter if you don't have such a friend!" ”

"But he's my only friend." The poisonous scorpion still couldn't let go, "Mingyue, do you know what my heart feels like?" This matter would not have come to this point, we could have sat down and discussed it, and I believe that with our efforts, we can find a solution. ”

The Bright Moon Holy Maiden raised her eyebrows and said, "You are blaming me when you say that, since this is the case, you don't have to be reluctant." Go find your good friend and tell him that Tu Qi Tang still loves their princess, and let them come back and take Tu Qi Tang away! ”

"Mingyue ......," the poisonous scorpion whispered, "You know that I won't betray you, doesn't it make me feel more uncomfortable when you say this?" ”

The Bright Moon Saintess stopped talking, and was silent for a moment before saying, "Ask the sky, do you also think I'm at fault?" No, I don't think so, and I regret that I didn't stick through and allow them to be together. If I hadn't relented for a while, I wouldn't have harmed Tuqitang like that. ”

"It was an accident, no one expected it, besides, even if the princess is not there, the bad guy of Xinbuzu will find it, their family has a grudge with Qili because of the encirclement and suppression of the Xiling Sect, he escaped death, and he couldn't bear to find trouble in the Anxi court, so he will settle this account on your mother and son."

"Enough, I've heard it many times, and you're just trying to convince me to agree that they will be together and stop holding a grudge against that woman." The Bright Moon Holy Maiden's emotions became excited again, "That guy in Xinbuzu is a defeated soldier under Tu Qitang, how could he be knocked off the cliff by him, isn't it because he used that woman as a threat!" No matter how you say it, this matter has nothing to do with her! ”

"Then let me ask you, when you lived together, did the princess treat you well enough? She brings you water and food for three meals a day, and she makes the bed and quilt every night. Even if she is not a high-ranking princess, just a woman from an ordinary family, you should understand this affection! The poisonous scorpion said unjustly for Liu Ye, "Yes, if you, a mother, want to see your son fall off the cliff with your own eyes, you may not be able to let go of it in this life, but you can't just see her bad side, she also has a good place for your mother and son!" ”

"Because of this, I was soft-hearted, and I thought that Tu Qitang and I could also live the life of ordinary people. But I was wrong, I was ridiculously wrong, we are not ordinary people in the first place, and it is useless to have the heart to let go of everything in the past. That woman is even more unusual, she is the woman of King Wusun, and now she is still the queen of Wusun, do you really think they can be together for a long time? ”

The poisonous scorpion was stunned, and said: "Feelings are such a thing, who can guarantee that it will last forever, it is rare for the two to be happy, and it is not a joke to ask for it forever." ”

"You are quibbling, in short, I will not let Tu Qitang have a relationship with that woman again, it is best to get rid of it as soon as possible, so as not to cause disaster in the future. They haven't been together for a long time, and their relationship will naturally not be deep, and it will be harder in the last few days, and slowly it will be fine, and they will forget it. ”

"Forgetting? Mingyue, let's not talk about you, let's talk about Qili, she hasn't been with Shengyin for a long time, but she has been in love all her life! This is what you have seen with your own eyes, where does the infatuated lover care about the length of time, falling in love is falling in love, and it will never be forgotten after separation. You yourself said that Tu Qitang is like you, and he is also a dead-eyed person, and he will live a life of nostalgia and regret like you in the future......"

"Ask the sky!" The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon shouted loudly, stopping him from continuing, "Why do you curse my son? Why are you so ruthless? Could it be that Tu Qitang is not having a good time, are you happy? You keep saying that you will take care of our mother and son for the rest of your life, you said that you would treat Tu Qitang like your own son, and now it's just for an irrelevant woman, you curse him like this, what kind of heart do you have? ”

"Mingyue, when did I curse him, I, I just ......" The poisonous scorpion quickly explained.

"Don't say it, I understand, I understand it all......" The Bright Moon Saintess lowered her eyes and lamented, "After all, he is not your own, you can't treat him wholeheartedly......"

The poisonous scorpion gasped and said with a sad face: "Look where you are talking about this, I have lived with your mother and son for these days, where do you see me treating him harshly?" Mingyue, I have a lot of hard work for you, can't you still see clearly? ”

"But you didn't put yourself in my shoes." The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes were full of tears as they were before, "I don't have anything now, I only have Tu Qitang, I don't ask for anything, I just want him to be safe, for a mother, is this also a luxury?" You blame me for being ruthless in breaking them up, yes, I admit it, my heart is more vicious than others, but as long as I can protect my son, I am willing to do more ruthless and desperate. It's not appropriate for them to be together, Tu Qitang will be in trouble sooner or later, you really can't figure it out? In order to ask Tu Qitang to stay by my side, I tried everything I could, and I did not hesitate to leave behind my dignity as a mother. ”

"God, I don't have much time to live, you know? I'm a dying man! If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have been able to keep him! For his sake, I don't even want the last self-esteem, do you even want to look down on me? I am his mother, but I can only beg him not to go in this way, don't I deserve sympathy? ”

The poisonous scorpion looked at the Bright Moon Holy Maiden with tears in disbelief, and asked with difficulty, "What did you say?" You, how could you be...... Nonsense, your days are still long, and when I die, you will be fine......"

"Really, what I said is true, in order to save Shengyin back then, I tried everything, I tried poison and antidote for him, if it weren't for this internal force, I would have been gone a long time ago. Before I conveyed internal force to Tu Qitang, I barely had half a life left, you think I am ruthless and don't save my child, but in fact, I can't save it. If I save him, I must give up the Xiling Sect. Since then, have you ever seen me move my internal forces? All I have left is an empty shelf. ”

The poisonous scorpion was heartbroken, and stepped forward to hug the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon: "Don't panic, don't be afraid, I can cure you, why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

"Useless ......" the Bright Moon Holy Maiden shook her head, "The poison in my body has already penetrated into my internal organs, I haven't told anyone, I don't want others to look down on me, thinking that a woman can't rule the Xiling Sect." Later, I didn't want to say more, I didn't want the people who cared about me to worry about me, but this time, in order to keep him, I told my last secret, begged him for sympathy and begged him for charity, I did it, how could I turn back! ”

The poisonous scorpion hugged her tightly: "It's my fault, it's my negligence, I didn't even realize that you have been tormented." Don't worry, I will definitely be able to save you, even if I fight for this life, I can't let you have any trouble. ”

Seeing this scene in the house, the Southern Holy Maiden glanced at Tu Qitang beside her, and said in a trembling voice: "This is the reason why you gave up the princess?" ”

Tu Qitang looked at the Bright Moon Holy Maiden who was crying with pity, and said in a low voice: "I think Ye'er will be considerate of me." ”

"If the poisonous scorpion heals the saint, you and the princess will still be together in the future, right?" The Southern Saintess asked.

"In the future, I don't know how long it will take after this, but no matter how long, I will wait for that day." Tu Qitang looked down at the flute in his hand, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.
