The next morning, Mu Xuefu had just finished dressing up, and Jingrong sent someone to send Zhongxiang and Yunshen to her for disposal as she asked yesterday.

Two people kneeling on the ground, one trembling all over, the thief's head and thief's brain were glancing around; One was silent, looking at death as if he were at home.

Mu Xuefu was crooked on the chair of the red acid branch carved landscape rose, and in front of her was a chess game that had not yet been played. Last night, she pestered Jing Rong to play against her, obviously she held the sunspot, seized the opportunity, and occupied the golden horn and silver edge, but she still let Jing Rong block the sunspot's qi one by one, although she didn't continue halfway down, but the discerning person knew that the sunspot was at a disadvantage. She got up in the morning and studied the chess game here to see if it was possible to turn things around.

Fingers in the chess box containing the sunspot kept stirring, suddenly, a flash of inspiration, as if to find a flaw, picked up a piece and fell on the chessboard, just about to be happy, but carefully considered, it was simply chiseled the east wall to make up the west wall, angrily picked up the chess pieces played before, and threw them into the chess box at will, then looked at the two of them.

"I said that the only one who can save you is yourself, and you two are very smart, and sure enough, you didn't disappoint me." Mu Xuefu simply didn't think about the things on the chessboard, turned his eyes to them, and raised his hand to let them get up.

Yun Shen looked happy and said happily: "The slave can save herself, thanks to the princess's advice." The princess is the reborn parent of the slave maid, and the slave and maid will serve the mother wholeheartedly in the future, and repay the princess for saving her life with ten thousand deaths. ”

Mu Xuefu glanced at her with a sneer, the clear color in her eyes was obvious, and she said suddenly: "I don't dare to believe this!" I've ruined your face," she paused, looking at the scarred marks on her face, "I'm afraid you're already hating me in your heart at this point." ”

Yun Shen listened, and knelt on the ground with a "poof", "The slave and the maid don't dare, the slave and the maid don't dare, the princess to save the slave maid's life is already a great grace for the slave and the maid, how dare the slave and the maid be resentful?" ”

"Grace?" Mu Xuefu stood up leisurely, walked to Yun Shen and squatted down, hooked Yun Shen's chin, raised the corners of her mouth, and said: "This princess has ruined your face, I am also a woman, I naturally know the importance of appearance to women, if I were you, I would like to kill the person who ruined my appearance." When his fingertips lightly swiped the somewhat hideous scar, Yun Shen couldn't help but snort, causing Mu Xuefu to sneer, but he lacked evil energy. Suddenly, she grabbed Yun Shen's throat, her eyes were gloomy, her voice became sharp, she raised her hand to pick up Yun Shen, and said loudly: "Besides, when did I say that I want to save your life?" ”

Yun Shen's pupils dilated instantly, terrifying, she grabbed Mu Xuefu's hand and squeezed it out of her throat with difficulty, "The princess let me go, the slave knows that she is wrong, please spare the slave and maid's life." ”

Mu Xuefu snorted, suddenly let go of her hand, Yun Shen's body fell to the ground like a breeze blowing willows, she didn't care about the pain in her body, and grabbed the corner of Mu Xuefu's skirt, "Ask the princess to spare the slave maid's cheap life, it is all the slave maid who is blinded by lard, and she will do something sorry for the princess only after being bewitched by Concubine Li, slave maid, slave maid, slave maid will be the princess's life in the future, for the princess, the slave and maid are willing to do anything." As long as the princess spares the slave maid's life, the slave and maid are willing to do anything. ”

Mu Xuefu kicked her away in disgust, "This princess hates betrayal the most, but you go against my will, do you think you deserve to die?" ”

Yun Fall knew that Mu Xuefu would not spare her, and no longer begged for mercy, but looked at her with a pair of eyes of resentment and fear, and said fiercely: "Does the princess want to talk and count?" You promised the slave and maid that they would save the slave and maid's life, why is it that now the slave and the maid tell the truth to the prince, and you don't admit it? Hmph, the dignified princess, she is untrustworthy, isn't it a joke! ”

"Don't you know that there is a word for unloading the mill and killing the donkey?" Mu Xuefu's eyes swept coldly over her resentful face, and she smiled, "Besides, when I said I wanted to save you, I just said that you are the only one who can save you." Originally, I kindly wanted you to go to the prince to tell the truth, maybe the prince would be merciful and spare you, but the prince didn't say forgiveness, I didn't dare to let go of your life rashly. ”

After hearing this, Yun Fall laughed a few times, and looked at her sideways with unwilling and hateful eyes, "You don't want me to be a three-year-old child, since the prince handed over me and Zhongxiang to you, he naturally handed over the lives of the two of us to you." Now you have skimmed it out and piled this matter on the prince. Want our lives, why is it so high-sounding! I think you are a woman as poisonous as a snake and scorpion, such a poisonous woman, you are careful of being struck by lightning! ”

"Smack-" Bai Yi slapped his head without saying a word, and scolded: "Bastard thing, you dare to commit a crime and slander the princess, I don't think it's a pity for you to die!" ”

Yun Shen covered his face and glared at Bai Yi viciously, panting with indignation in his nose. Suddenly, she suddenly got up and pounced on Bai Yi, like a madwoman, scratching around, "You dare to hit me?" What is the difference between you and me, they are both servants of others, why do you beat me? ”

Bai Yi didn't dodge or dodge, and when she got close, he raised his foot and kicked her to the door, "Crazy! ”

Bai Yi's kick was not light, and he directly kicked Yun Fall and vomited blood. She lay on the ground, unable to say a word of pain, just coughing incessantly, but spit out a mouthful of blood every time she coughed hard.

Mu Xuefu glanced at her casually, straightened Bai Yi's collar slightly, lightly opened her lips, and said word by word: "If you commit a crime under the cloud fall, you will be beaten to death with a stick to set an example." ”

"Princess, the slave is wrong, the slave is really wrong, I don't dare anymore, the princess spared the slave and maid's life. Spare the slave and maid, let the mother spare the slave and maid. ”

Mu Xuefu looked coldly at Yun Shen, who was escorted away and howled for his life, snorted softly, and then looked at Zhongxiang, who was standing aside and never said a word, "Don't you ask this princess to spare your life?" ”

"Could it be that the slave begged for mercy and the princess would let the slave go? The slave has no other wishes, as long as the princess lets go of Huaixiang, the princess can take the slave's life at any time. Zhongxiang hooked his lips and raised his eyes to look at Mu Xuefu, neither humble nor humble, but his eyes flickered slightly when he mentioned Huaixiang, "I just hope that the princess will fulfill her original promise and let Huaixiang go, she is really innocent." ”

Mu Xuefu raised her eyebrows, looked at him in a circle with interest, and played with taste: "If this princess gives you a chance to live, do you want to?" Looking at the light in Zhongxiang's eyes, the smile on Mu Xuefu's face was even worse, "Two people can only survive one, how about exchanging Huaixiang's life for your life?" People are not for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, not to mention that she is just a woman in a green building, a pair of jade arms and a thousand pillows, a little red lips and ten thousand tastes, an unclean person, why do you want your own life for her? ”

"Even if Huaixiang strays into the dust, in the eyes of the minion, she is also the purest person in the world." Zhongxiang's eyes were firm, but there was infinite pain and tenderness, "She has the cleanest heart in the world, white and flawless, without a trace of stain." For her, let alone death, even if you can't live forever, what's the matter? ”

The smile on Mu Xuefu's face slowly disappeared, her face was cold, her eyebrows were deep, and she sneered for a while: "How can there be a pure heart in this world, people's hearts have long been covered by desire and greed, even if she is beautiful in your heart, it is impossible to be clean." His gaze was filled with a layer of sharpness, like a strong wind blowing across Zhongxiang's cheeks. Mu Xuefu's eyebrows were stained with a faint anger, paused, slammed the table, and shouted: "Since you said that Huaixiang has the cleanest heart in the world, then I want to see what is different about her heart!" ”

"Princess!" Zhongxiang's face changed color in vain, he let out a low cry, stared at Mu Xuefu in disbelief, and it took a while to come back to his senses, kowtow and beg for mercy, "Princess please let Huaixiang go, everything is done by a slave alone, it has nothing to do with her, please be merciful and let her go." ”

Mu Xuefu ignored his pleas for mercy, looked at Qing Zhuo, who was standing aside and bowed his head, and said in a deep voice: "Pull him down and kill him, and then go and take out Huaixiang's heart, so that Princess Ben can see how pure her heart is!"

Zhongxiang was stunned and dumbfounded, and he couldn't say a word for a while.

"Master!" Qing Zhuo frowned slightly and called softly.

"Don't you even listen to my orders?" Mu Xuefu flew sideways, glanced at her unbearable and worried look, and gently swept Zhongxiang's dejected and sad expression.

"It's okay, at least the two of us will be together on the Huangquan Road, and we won't be alone." Zhongxiang sighed, his mouth filled with boundless bitterness. "You can't live together, you can't die together."

You can't live together, and you can't die together. When Mu Xuefu heard this, her body couldn't help but tremble, and the scene when her mother parted from her came to mind. She took a sharp breath, turned around, and pressed her hands into fists against the table. Suddenly, Mu Xuefu seemed to be withdrawn from her memories, gritted her teeth, and her voice overflowed, "Since you have this wish, I will fulfill you!" After a pause, he turned to look at him, "Take him away, I don't want to see him again." And in this world, there is no longer Zhongxiang and Huaixiang. ”

Qing Zhuo understood, breathed a sigh of relief, took a few steps forward, and knocked Zhongxiang unconscious with one palm.

In the midst of the swaying, Zhongxiang slowly woke up, he opened his misty eyes, slowly sat up, looked around, and found himself in a strange environment.

"Brother Xiang." A cordial, familiar call instantly lifted him to his senses.

"Huaixiang?" Zhongxiang immediately stood up, looked at the person who came in with a plate, was surprised, walked up to her in a few steps, and held her shoulder, "Are we reunited in the underworld?" ”

Huaixiang was wearing an ordinary rough clothes, with her hair in a bun, dressed as a woman, simple and delicate. She put the plate containing the food on the table beside her, held Zhongxiang's hand, and said softly: "Where is this underworld, this is the yang world." Looking at his puzzled expression, he continued: "Princess Chen's grace, let the maid beside me redeem me, and gave us a sum of money to arrange for us to leave." It's just that the princess has a life, and you and I will not be allowed to set foot in the imperial city in the future. ”

Zhongxiang was stunned for a moment, remembering what the princess said before being knocked unconscious, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose. He put his arm around Huaixiang's shoulders and whispered, "It turns out that the princess is not a ruthless person. ”
