Bai Huan walked out of Weiyang Palace with his bleeding forehead, and the eunuchs who caught a glimpse of him lowered their heads in fear, not daring to step forward. This is the emperor's bedroom, and without the emperor's signal, no one dares to say a word to him.

Blood ran down his fingers, staining the cuffs red.

Bai Huan walked out of Weiyang Palace with a calm expression, but met Chu Shixia in the narrow alleyway.

"Your Highness, wipe it." Chu Zhixia handed him a handkerchief.

Bai Huan took it and pressed the wound, knowing that he had no way to hide his embarrassment, he simply met Chu Zhixia's gaze with self-abandonment, "Miss Chu always appears in time. ”

Chu Zhixia said frankly: "The minister is here to find His Highness, not passing by. ”

Bai Huan was distraught.

The third prince was beaten by him, lying on the bed and humming for half the night, ten out of a hundred sentences were scolding Bai Huan, and ninety sentences were scolding Chu Zhixia. Bai Huan thought that this matter would pass like this, and he also gave the third prince a long memory, but the emperor got the news.

If you make a mistake, you will lose the whole game.

Bai Huan hadn't figured out the key yet, and he didn't know if this matter was calculated by someone or by chance, so he was more wary of Chu Zhixia.

"What?" Bai Huan asked with a frown.

"The minister wants to ask for His Highness's grace for one person."

Bai Huan looked at her suspiciously, "Who do you want to save, just go to your father, why do you have to come and beg me?" ”

"Only His Highness can save this person." Chu Zhixia said firmly.

"Who?"

"The Azures of the Bright Garden."

It took Bai Huan a lot of effort to remember who this person was, waved his sleeves, and scolded coldly: "Chu Zhixia, you are dizzy!" What is this wind and dust girl's ability to fascinate you one by one? I don't need to keep such a scourge. ”

"Does Your Highness think that this matter is the fault of others?" Chu Zhixia's expression also faded, revealing a bit of cold ridicule, "The fault is Chen Jixun who caused trouble, the fault is the dust girl who is powerless to resist, and even the fault is that I have not had anything to do with the Third Highness from beginning to end." ”

Chu Zhixia forced a step forward, but Bai Huan was forced by her momentum, and he was a little weak-hearted.

"After all, it's never the Third Highness who is wrong, is it?"

After Bai Huan's short-term cowardice and weakness faded, what came to his heart was the annoyance and anger that had been exposed, and he scolded: "Chu Zhixia, you are presumptuous. ”

"Yes, the minister has to be presumptuous." Chu Zhixia pushed back without being soft or hard, "Today's disaster, is the Third Highness really completely innocent?" If so, why did His Highness bother running for him. Can you save him once, can you save him a thousand times? ”

Bai Huan suddenly raised his hand and slapped Chu Zhixia, the attack was not heavy, but Chu Zhixia's cheeks were still turned red. Chu Zhixia expected his movements, but he didn't dodge, he couldn't hide, he stood upright and took it, but his eyelashes trembled subconsciously.

"You've trespassed." Bai Huan said coldly, "Who do you think you are, and you also point fingers at my Bai family's family affairs?" ”

"The Bai family is the royal family of the world, this is not just your family matter." Chu Zhixia felt the hot touch on his cheeks, and said unhurriedly, "Your Highness's precious blood relatives have the lives of their blood relatives, and they despise the lives of the people of Li, this is my great Zhou's misfortune." ”

"That's just a prostitute!" Bai Huan was completely angry, and suppressed it and didn't slap Chu Zhixia again.

"That's it?" Chu Zhixia's eyebrows twitched, as if he couldn't believe that this sentence was said by Bai Huan.

She suddenly grabbed Bai Huan's wrist and walked out, "Then His Highness is here with his ministers." ”

"What are you doing?" Bai Huan suddenly felt a little flustered.

"Isn't Your Highness going to kill her? Why bother with a fake hand, why don't you come in person? ”

——

Akiba Mountain House.

Yuzhu took a group of little maids to play with flowers and plants in the courtyard, some of which were precious orchids that the emperor had appreciated, some of which were seedlings brought from the south, and some of which were delicate varieties that gradually withered after autumn. The little maids giggled and shoved each other, pinning the cut branches to each other's heads.

Yuzhu shook her head when she saw it, and she could only let them go.

Not far away, under the trellis, the wisteria flowers had already bloomed, leaving only a dull withered yellow and shriveled branches.

Chu Zhixia and Bai Huan stood in front of the flower stand, looking at the frolicking little girls, without alarming anyone.

"What are you bringing Hongu here for?" Bai Huan asked inexplicably.

"Doesn't Your Highness look at the person you want to kill?" Chu Zhi Xia Yun asked lightly.

"The dusty woman is in there?" Bai Huan was even more confused.

Bai Huan has never set foot in Fireworks Willow Lane, and occasionally listens to others at the wine table, but he only thinks that it is a place of black smoke and miasma, and demons dance wildly.

The women there adorned their faces with powder, and smeared their bodies with exotic spices, which shook the hearts of every man who passed by. Their bodies are as soft as their eyes, and their veins are like flowing water in the distant spring, as long as they touch their soft fingertips, they will fall inextricably and willingly empty their money bags.

"She's right there." Chu Zhixia affirmed.

"Don't lie to me." Bai Huan was a little impatient.

Chu Zhixia pointed to the most taciturn and detached person among the girls, and said, "She is Weiran." She was injured that day, and I brought her back. I knew her, she played her flute very well, and I didn't want to see her die like that. ”

Bai Huan looked at Chu Zhixia's fingertips.

The girl was not dressed as a maid in the Akiba Mountains, but only a plain white robe. Her face was pale, her eyebrows and eyes were a color of thick ink, her eyes were round, and her pupils were very dark. She sat quietly outside the crowd, like a painting of independent art, not stained with a trace of dust.

She is neither glamorous nor charming, and her face is clean and without a trace of decorative color, which is completely different from the demagogic appearance that Bai Huan imagined.

It seems that she is even smaller than the third prince.

Baek Huan's breathing slowed by two beats.

"Your Royal Highness, your younger brother is a younger brother, and someone else's daughter is also a daughter. What does the Third Highness want, what can she, a girl who doesn't even count her own comings and goings, influence? Chu Zhixia said softly, "It's not her fault, but she wants her to die, is there such a reason in this world?" ”

Bai Huan's heart was tormented.

If he hadn't seen this scene with his own eyes, killing a lowly woman would have been Bai Huan's words. The people below didn't care whether it was wine or Bai Aya, and finally handed Bai Huan a reply with only one sentence of "done".

Whose fault is it that this matter has gotten to this point? Bai Huan knew it.

Is it really necessary for this girl to fill in the mass grave for the sake of his brother's reputation?

Bai Huan gritted his teeth and said, "How can there be so many truths to talk about in this world? She died unjustly, and the palace will send someone to subsidize her relatives in the family. She fell into Fang Manting, isn't it also for her family, and it can be regarded as seeking benevolence. ”

Chu Shixia said calmly: "There is no one in her house. If you don't believe me, you can ask the proprietor of Fang Manting. I heard that the eldest son of the Jiang family intends to marry the Chen family, so he must not dare to tell lies to His Royal Highness. ”

The last way to retreat made Chu Zhixia blocked, and Bai Huan was a little angry.

Bai Huan turned his head sharply and glared at Chu Zhixia, his teeth chattering, "What do you want?" ”

"Your Highness, is it so hard for you to keep her alive?" Chu Zhixia also looked at him as if he was confused, "She's just a little prostitute, the world is so big, there is no place for her to stand?" ”

"If she lives, Yu'er's reputation will be ruined." Bai Huan took a deep breath and said, "This matter is Yu'er's fault, as an elder brother, I have to make up for him." There will always be a day when the prodigal son will come back, and then this stain will not be erased, what will he do? ”

Chu Zhixia lowered his eyes and chuckled mockingly, "It's still for the Third Highness." ”

If the three princes make a mistake alone, the prince will fill it with the lives of others.

It's really moving.

"Then Your Highness will do it yourself."

Chu Zhixia dragged Bai Huan to the maids, and the little girls were startled and hurriedly saluted the two. Jiang Qiao also knelt in the crowd, with a white camellia hairpin in her hair, like a handful of snow falling on her sideburns.

"Yuzhu, take my sword." Chu Zhixia said, "The others can go, and Wei Ran stays." ”

Bai Huan wanted to break free of Chu Zhixia's hand, but he couldn't move at all. He couldn't pull his face to scuffle with Chu Zhixia, so he had to wait for Yuzhu to bring out the drinking stream snow. Chu Zhixia took out his long sword and stuffed it into Bai Huan's hand.

The sword light swept from Jiang Qiao's drooping neck to her black eyes.

"This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Chu Shixia said, "You have insulted the reputation of the Third Highness, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to take your life personally, do you have any last words?" ”

Jiang Qiao slowly raised her head, Bai Huan saw her face clearly, and his heart was sour.

It was a young, clean face with a childish air that had not faded.

Jiang Qiao showed a faint smile, "If you can, can you bury me next to my aunt?" ”

Chu Zhixia nodded, and pushed the hand on Bai Huan's shoulder forward, "Your Highness, aren't you going to kill her?" Do it. ”

Bai Huan looked at the back of Jiang Qiao's lowered neck, white and soft. She looked up at Bai Huan, her eyes were clean, without resentment, grief, or fear, like a clear water - and like a mirror, reflecting Bai Huan's hesitant and hideous face.

"I ......"

Bai Huan hesitated, Jiang Qiao suddenly grabbed the sharp blade and stabbed it into his chest. Bai Huan was shocked, and subconsciously pulled the drinking stream snow out of her hand, splashing on the ground with a string of blood dots.

But it was still over, and the drinking stream snow pierced into Jiang Qiao's heart half an inch, and the blood was already smeared in her white heart.

The white camellia fell from between its hair and smashed into red bean-like blood spots.

"You...... Why? Bai Huan was surprised and puzzled, "Don't you want to live?" ”

"Whether I want to or not, I don't count if I say it myself. After all, my life is not good. If His Highness's actions are not decisive enough, I will have to hurt a little longer. Jiang Qiao grabbed the blood gushing out of his chest and said in a low voice, "At least I can choose to die a little more simply...... Even if my life is as cheap as mine, I'm afraid of pain. ”

Jiang Qiao's voice was very soft, as if it was going to disappear in the next moment. The blood that kept seeping out soaked her fingertips and her white clothes, and she looked like a porcelain that was about to fall apart at any moment, vulnerable to a blow.

Bai Huan threw down the drinking stream snow and turned to leave.

When Bai Huan's figure completely disappeared, Chu Zhixia reached out and pulled Jiang Qiao up, "Congratulations, you survived." ”

"So, have I proved to the eldest lady that I have the value of being used?" Jiang Qiao showed a sincere smile, and stepped on the blood-stained white camellia on tiptoe.

"Let's see the doctor first." Chu Zhixia covered the wound on her chest with a handkerchief and said.

"Why didn't anyone write me a comment, I want to comment and beg for it."
