Chu Zhibai returned to the room, took out a jade bottle, stretched out his fingertips on the mouth of the bottle, squeezed it gently, and a drop of blood slipped into the jade bottle.

Su Ling showed her humanity in a blood-red mist.

Chu Zhibai's fingertips did not leave the jade bottle, and as the blood slipped drop by drop, Su Ling's human form became clearer and clearer, and he could gradually see the white and tender complexion, as if it really existed.

Su Ling opened her eyes, looked at Chu Zhibai ignorantly and asked softly, "Are you?" ”

"I am Chu Zhibai, the national teacher of Da Xiao." Chu Zhibai replied gently.

Su Ling nodded, looked around, and then noticed the abnormality of his body. She reached out to touch Chu Zhibai's fingertips, but passed through his palm.

Su Ling asked suspiciously, "What's going on?" ”

"Because you're dead."

Hearing this, Su Ling's face changed instantly, and the memory before death suddenly drilled into her mind, she held her head in pain, and the blood-red mist around her body gradually turned black.

Chu Zhibai hurriedly called her name, "Su Ling, don't think about those memories, control your emotions, otherwise you will be wiped out." ”

Now Su Ling couldn't listen to anything at all, she cried heartbrokenly, her white and tender complexion gradually became transparent, and the blood on Chu Zhibai's fingertips accelerated the speed of dripping.

Seeing that the situation was uncontrollable, Chu Zhibai hurriedly twisted to stop the bleeding.

The blood mist disappeared, and so did Su Ling.

Chu Zhibai was physically exhausted, and he fainted in front of him.

When he woke up again, he found himself lying on the bed, and Shi An was lying on his bed and sleeping sweetly. Chu Zhibai rubbed his temples, then got up softly and covered Shi An with the quilt.

He stroked Shi An's hair and whispered, "It's hard work." ”

He originally wanted to call Su Ling out and talk to her about rebirth, but looking at this situation, she had no people's thoughts so she couldn't control her emotions, so he couldn't talk to her.

Her soul can only be appeased unless she is allowed to see her bonds.

Her fetters ......

Chu Zhibai thought of the man in Su Ling's memories, the young man who was high-spirited when they met for the first time, the person who treated her gently, taught her sophistication, taught her to read, and said that he wanted to marry her.

Chu Zhibai stood at the door and hesitated.

Shi An was awakened by the sunlight shining through the window lattice, she got up and found that there was no one on the bed, so she immediately stood up in shock and looked around.

After turning around and finding Chu Zhibai at the door, he stabilized his mind.

"What are you thinking? Still thinking about the rebirth of that girl? Shi An lowered his eyes and looked at the gauze wrapped around Chu Zhibai's fingertips.

She was adopted by him since she was a child, and for her, Chu Zhibai is the most important person in her life. She followed him to learn divination, Taoism, and also knew how much he had paid behind these things.

Changing his life against the sky and calculating the number of days will consume his life. Every time he performed a ritual, he lost one year's life.

Most of the time, he had to rely on the pills in the alchemy furnace of the Jade Hall Pavilion to hang his life, so he rarely saw people.

Although she felt that God was unfair when she was young, she could only let him spend this life so sick and weak, she had hoped that he could live forever, but now she would rather he spend this life without worry.

In the matter of immortality, if she can't be by his side, she would rather him not be immortal.

The girl's soul would help him recover his body, but it would be extremely risky, and if she was unwilling to give up her nostalgia for this world after she was reborn, she would lose her national teacher forever.

She knew that the girl had a man who cared about her, who could be willing to leave the person she loved, and she asked herself if she couldn't do without the national teacher, let alone others.

Chu Zhibai turned his back to Shi An and asked, "Shi An, if you have nostalgia for this world, are you still willing to leave?" ”

Shi An stopped her cranky thinking in surprise, and she said in a panic: "I don't want to." ”

"Really......"

Chu Zhibai didn't speak.

Prime Minister's Office

Jiang Duanchen wrote a letter to his family and asked Xue Fei to send it to Qingtan Town, informing Jiang Shengchuan of the news of Su Ling's death, and also sent it to the Su family.

In the letter, he wrote: Su Ling is the wife of my Jiang family, and when my wife dies, I will hold a funeral for her, and the second elder should not be hanged.

He was decadent for two days before deciding to go out to host a funeral for Su Ling.

The moment Xue Fei saw Jiang Duanchen come out of the room, he almost didn't recognize that this was the son-in-law he had followed since childhood.

I saw that his face was pale, his eyes were hollow, his hair was messy, his eyelids were red and swollen, and his face was stained with tears.

He hadn't changed into his white shirt since he came back from the Imperial City, and now he stood in the wind, looking haggard and thin.

Xue Fei stepped forward to support him, but he refused with his hand.

He said in a hoarse voice: "I'm going to give Ling'er a pillar of incense." ”

"Childe, put on some clothes and go again, it's cold outside." Xue Fei reminded. But Jiang Duanchen didn't seem to hear it, and walked straight towards the mourning hall.

Xue Fei hurriedly went to get the prepared mourning clothes and caught up with Jiang Duanchen's footsteps.

Jiang Duanchen came to the front of the mourning hall, looked at Su Ling's tablet, and there were ripples in his eyes again, he knelt on the futon, and Xue Fei rushed to drape the mourning clothes on his body.

He said to Xue Fei, "You go out first." ”

"Childe, your body is weak, don't work too hard, Miss Su...... Madame, she has passed away, you have to take care of your body, otherwise she will be distressed when she sees it. Xue Fei tried to persuade Jiang Duanchen, but he looked at Jiang Duanchen's appearance and was really worried.

Jiang Duanchen shook his head and said, "It's okay", and Xue Fei had no choice but to retreat.

Jiang Duanchen picked up the fire candle on the futon and lit it, inserted it on the spiritual platform, he closed his eyes and said silently: "Ling'er, I came to see you, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you, I'm sorry......"

His voice grew choked.

Xue Fei's brows furrowed when he was listening outside, full of worry.

"I will definitely avenge you, and I will not let go of any of the people who have bullied you." Jiang Duanchen opened his eyes and raised his head, his eyes were cold and murderous.

He knew that Su Ling would be worried about his body, so he wouldn't be so decadent forever.

The resignation was just to get rid of Nie Yunhua's control.

After that, he and Nie Yunhua broke off their righteousness.

He stood up and walked out of the mourning hall with firm eyes, Xue Fei looked at the son in his impression and said excitedly: "Childe? Have you figured it out? ”

"Xue Fei, Ling'er's funeral has to be done in a big way, I can't take her back in style, but she is the wife of my Jiang family, and she can't lose her dignity when she leaves." Jiang Duanchen said in a cold tone.

Xue Fei said hesitantly: "Madame's bones, I haven't been able to find ......"

A hint of anger flashed in Jiang Duanchen's eyes, "Ling'er's bones are with Nie Yunhua, I'll go and retrieve her." ”

Xue Fei exclaimed: "Son, you have already resigned, can you still enter the imperial city?" ”

"I'm going to see who dares to stop me." Jiang Duanchen put on the mourning clothes and instructed Xue Fei to prepare the horse.

Xue Fei looked at Jiang Duanchen's determined appearance, and said knowingly: "I know, where the son goes, Xue Fei will also go." ”

Even if he wants to offend the empress and the entire imperial city, he Xue Fei will accompany him.

Jiang Duanchen and Xue Fei were ready to go and came to the imperial city.

When the guards saw that Jiang Duanchen didn't know about his resignation, they let him in without asking, just curious why he was wearing mourning clothes.

Nie Yunhua's eyes were full of shock when she looked at Jiang Duanchen who suddenly appeared in front of her. I saw him wearing a mourning dress with murderous aura in his eyes.

"Jiang Duanchen, what are you going to do?" Nie Yunhua's face was frightened, but he pretended to be calm and asked.

Jiang Duanchen approached Nie Yunhua step by step, "I want to take Su Ling home." ”

"Hahaha? Take that brute home? Didn't the mourners tell you she was dead? How else do you take her home. Nie Yunhua smiled fiercely.

Jiang Duanchen pulled out the sword on Xue Fei's waist and flew quickly to Nie Yunhua's side, the blade of the sword cut through her neck, and blood gradually oozed out.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the guards outside the door immediately rushed in, Xue Fei stopped him, knocked out the sword in the hand of one of the guards with one blade, snatched it over, and entangled with everyone.

"Escort! Escort! Nie Yunhua exclaimed, and the maid Huanxiang was so frightened by everything in front of her that she sat on the ground, not daring to move at all.

Jiang Duanchen's eyes showed a cold light, "Where are Su Ling's bones?" ”

"The mourning family has already stewed her bones into a thick soup and taken it for livestock, hehe, the mourning family wants to let her die without peace. You won't be able to find her for the rest of your life. Nie Yunhua whispered like a demon, stabbing every word in Jiang Duanchen's heart.

The sharp blade was a little deeper, Nie Yunhua was so frightened that she didn't dare to come out, she glared at Jiang Duanchen, "If you kill me, don't think about walking out of this city." ”

Jiang Duanchen sneered: "I won't let you die so easily, I want you not to get what you want, let the person you love live as well as die, and let everything you have worked so hard to come to naught." ”

"How do you know?" Nie Yunhua was stunned and asked in surprise.

"Does Niangniang think my charm hall is a decoration?" Jiang Duanchen stared at Nie Yunhua with cold eyes, and she was really panicked.

Originally, she was married and couldn't stay with her beloved until she was old, but she thought that she could sit on the throne, so she took him to her side.

If he died, then what else would she be trying for?

Nie Yunhua quickly showed weakness and said to Jiang Duanchen: "Her bones are soaking in the water prison. ”

Fortunately, she changed her mind that day and did not destroy Su Ling's bones, otherwise...... Jiang Duanchen withdrew his sword and walked resolutely towards the water prison. Nie Yunhua sat paralyzed on the ground, unable to calm down for a long time.

Xue Fei had also subdued all the guards, and when he saw his son-in-law leaving, he also caught up.

After Huanxiang saw the two leaving, she hurriedly crawled to Nie Yunhua, wanting to justify, but was stabbed to death by Nie Yunhua with the hairpin on her head.

Huanxiang looked at Nie Yunhua in disbelief, she didn't expect that she had served her for so many years and ended up like this. Nie Yunhua is really a ruthless person, this is Huanxiang's last thought before he died.

Nie Yunhua looked at Huan Xiang, who fell to the ground, staring at him, took a sip directly, and said viciously: "What a waste, the mourning family doesn't need the service of waste." ”

She stared at the outside of Fengming Palace, clenched her fists, and gritted her teeth and said, "Jiang Duanchen, since you betrayed the mourning family, don't blame the mourning family for being ruthless." ”

Jiang Duanchen came to the door of the water prison and was stopped by the guards, who just glared at them without saying a word, and forced them back.

He walked down the steps step by step, smelling the rancid smell of the water prison, imagining everything that happened to Su Ling here before.

The unrecognizable prisoner who was soaked in the water prison saw Jiang Duanchen's arrival, and shouted restlessly: "Let me out!" ”

"It's someone again, hahahaha!"

"It's so cold......"

Jiang Duanchen ignored the people around him and walked to the innermost part of the water prison, only to see a cell soaked with stumps and broken arms, he stopped and stood outside the cell door for a long time and did not dare to step forward.

"Ling'er, is that you?" For the first time, the man became vulnerable, and he opened the cell door with trembling hands, knelt in the water, and picked up the pile of stumps and severed arms.

He wept bitterly, hugged his mutilated body, and felt the pain of his heart.

At this moment, he is no longer the famous Prime Minister Jiang, but Jiang Duanchen, who belongs to Su Ling alone, is a young man who has lost his love.
