Chapter 48: Escape by Death

"Bang dang!" Liu Fan raised his foot and kicked, the dagger fell on the road, he took Luo Lianyi's hand, pulled her into his arms, stroked her pale face and whispered: "Don't be afraid, there is me." ”

"I'm only going to hurt you." Luo Lianyi looked at him.

Ryu Fan didn't speak, only held her hand and passed his warmth to her. Luo Lianyi felt the temperature of his palm, and her mood gradually calmed down, and she quietly leaned on his side, waiting for the wind and rain to come.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, now there is only one way to save the county lord from death." Xiaozhu was still on his knees.

"You say." There was a chill in Ryufan's tone.

Xiao Zhu took out a vial from his arms, handed it to Luo Lianyi and said, "The county lord takes this." ”

"What is this?" Liufan stretched out his hand to take the medicine bottle first and asked.

"Death. After the county lord takes this, he has no breath and pulse for twelve hours, no different from a dead corpse, and after twelve hours, he will wake up naturally. Xiaozhu said.

Ryufan looked at Xiao Zhu with distrust. Xiao Zhu lowered his head and said: "Your Highness, Xiao Zhu arranged it like this, in fact, he didn't want the county lord to enter the palace, and after twelve hours, they would come and take the county lord away." ”

"But her poisonβ€”" Ryufan looked at Luo Lianyi worriedly.

"Worry-free will take the county lord up the mountain, maybe the master will have a way, Your Highness, the county lord enters the palace, it is absolutely difficult to move an inch, you have to believe that Xiao Zhu has never intended to kill the county lord, Xiao Zhu does this, I hope His Royal Highness can understand Xiao Zhu's heart." Xiao Zhu looked up at Liufan, and there was a thick sadness in his eyes.

Lu Fan didn't say anything anymore, and after he was silent for a while, he handed the medicine bottle in his hand to Luo Lianyi.

"Xiao Gudong, you go back quickly, you and Sister Wuwu will meet the county lord on Qiling Slope, and you will take the county lord up the mountain first." Xiao Zhu knelt on the ground and ordered Xiao Gudong.

"Yes." Xiao Gudong said goodbye to the prince and said to Luo Lianyi: "Sister Lianyi, don't be afraid, Master is a master in the world, he will detoxify you." Luo Lianyi bit his lip and nodded, Xiao Gudong turned over and got on the horse, turned the horse's head with a "drive", and galloped away.

"Get up." Liufan said to Xiao Zhu, there was a faint alienation in his eyes, Xiao Zhu stood up, glanced at his expression, bowed his head and was silent.

Luo Lianyi grabbed the medicine bottle, opened the cap and sniffed it. "Can you eat this thing? Is it a bluff to death or is it really a life? Will there be pain? She frowned and thought, what she was afraid of now was not death, she was afraid of death too ugly.

Ryufan's gaze once again fell on Kotsuki with distrust. Xiao Zhu said lightly: "Don't worry, if the county lord dies, I, Xiao Zhu, will never live another hour." ”

Jiang Feng jumped down from the carriage and said, "I think Miss Xiaozhu must have her reason for acting." ”

"County Lord, hurry up, the people sent by Taifu are about to arrive." Xiao Zhu urged Luo Ripple.

Luo Lianyi frowned, smelled the potion, closed his eyes, swallowed the potion, and then looked at everyone in a daze, waiting for death to come.

"Ripples." Ryu Fan put his arm around her.

"If I can't wake up, don't be sad, I just went back to my world, and I'll miss you." Luo Lianyi felt that her whole body was gradually weak, her eyelids were cloudy, she grabbed Lu Fan's hand, stared at him, and closed her eyes.

"Ripples!" Lu Fan called, he probed her snort with his hand, and then touched her pulse, and sure enough, it was gone. "Kozuki!" He turned his head to look at Xiao Zhu in a panic, afraid that she would tell him that she was really dead.

"Your Highness, don't worry, the county lord will wake up in twelve hours, if the county lord doesn't wake up, Xiao Zhu will immediately kill himself in front of His Highness." Xiao Zhu looked at him and said.

Lu Fan was speechless, he looked down at Luo Lianyi, who was paralyzed all over his body, and his hands and feet were cold, and hugged her horizontally in his arms.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, put her in the carriage, and after the Taifu's people come to examine the body, I will think of taking the county lord to Qilingpo, and after meeting with those sisters, we will go to Sanqingguan together." Jiang Feng said to Liufan.

Liufan agreed, and he carried Luo Lianyi into the carriage, reluctant to put her out of his arms for a long time. Xiao Zhu looked at him from outside the carriage, his face filled with intense sadness. Jiang Feng secretly looked at Xiao Zhu and sighed silently.

The killers sent by Taifu then arrived, and after meeting the prince, they told Taifu what he meant.

"The lord of Tanglin has died of a serious illness all the way because of excessive fright and severe cold weather." Ryufan sat in the carriage and replied lightly to the kneeling people outside.

"Thisβ€”" The people outside looked at each other, they didn't dare to say, they wanted to see the county lord with their own eyes.

Liufan picked up Luo Lianyi, jumped out of the carriage, and said coldly: "Who came to perform the autopsy?" ”

"The villain doesn't dare." Everyone knelt on the ground, and no one dared to come, but they secretly saw that the man in the prince's arms had a pale face and drooping hands, and it was indeed a dead man.

"Go back to Lord Taifu, the lord of Tanglin has passed away, and the prince will dispose of her corpse, so in order not to collide with his father, he will not bring her corpse into the palace." Liu Fan covered Luo Lianyi's bloodless face with a brocade handkerchief, carried her back to the carriage, and lay down on the soft couch.

After Taifu's people left, Liufan stared at Luo Lianyi from the carriage and refused to come down.

"Your Highness, the emperor's team to welcome you back to the palace will come soon, please get off the bus." Xiao Zhumi's face was burnt, urging.

Liufan was helpless, he picked up her head, imprinted his lips on her cold lips, and after a long time, he was reluctant to let go, put her down and got out of the car, hugged his fists and said to Jiang Feng: "Please!" Brother Jiang! ”

"Your Highness is serious." Jiang Feng hurriedly clenched his fists in return. After glancing at Xiao Zhu, he whipped the carriage around and galloped away.

There are only two people left on the ancient road, Liufan and Xiaozhu, they watched the carriage leave, one after the other walked to Kyoto, neither of them spoke, the previous intimate tacit understanding seemed to be gone, the atmosphere was like the air in this ice and snow day, so cold that it made people feel cold.

Xiao Zhu looked at his back, the corners of his glass-white clothes swayed in the wind, his hair fluttered in the wind, there was an indescribable loneliness and vicissitudes, and two lines of tears couldn't help but fall. It is said that he is the luckiest dragon among people, but he has never lived a day of freedom and happiness, and she silently feels sorry for him.

There was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and when the two raised their eyes, they vaguely saw Cuihua shaking, hunting with flags, and the crowds were crowded, knowing that it was the emperor who greeted the chariot and horse had arrived, Xiaozhu thought of the hardships all the way, and the prince finally arrived at the emperor's side safely, and the nerves that had been tense suddenly relaxed, and his face was relieved. Lu Fan was worried about Luo Lianyi, and when he saw his father personally greet him, he didn't have the slightest joy.

"Your Highness, I saw the emperor's chariot, let's go quickly." Xiao Zhu couldn't hide his excitement.

"Hmm." Rufan was faint, but his pace still quickened.

They finally stood in front of the emperor, and Liu Hongjing sat on the dragon chariot with some excitement, and shouted in a trembling voice, "Emperor!" ”

"The son knocks on his father." Liufan knelt down to pay respects, and Xiaozhu had already knelt in the snow.
