At this time, not only Bai Lu, but Shen Zhixi was also stunned.

She was surprised that Gu Yuan still had such a past, and she also felt sorry for him for hiding those pains in his heart and pretending to be unruly.

Gu Yuan continued: "So you'd better hand him over to me, if you dare to hurt him, don't think about living." ”

Zhao Xuanran said coldly: "The surname is Gu, I gave you a chance to escape, don't give me an inch!" I'm going to kill this guy today! ”

Gu Yuan frowned slightly: "There is still a time for a stick of incense, and the Jinyi Guard will blow up the entrance of the tomb, if His Highness wants to put himself in, he might as well give it a try." ”

His words were light and light, just like talking to the other party about how much the price of vegetables in Yandu City had risen today, but it could make people shudder.

"Then let's try it!" Zhao Xuanran took out the crossbow in his sleeve, and his right hand was still holding the dagger against Gu Changan's neck.

Before the words fell, Shen Zhixi pulled the trigger of the handcuff and hit Zhao Xuanran on the shoulder impartially.

The dagger fell to the ground with a "bang", and Gu Yuan saved Gu Changan as quickly as possible.

At the same time, Zhao Xuanran endured the pain on his shoulders and wrenched the repeater in his hand at Shen Zhixi.

Everything happened suddenly, Shen Zhixi didn't have time to dodge, and Gu Yuan didn't have time to save her.

It seems that Zhao Xuanran has already calculated this step.

The next moment, a feathered arrow sank into the girl's chest.

Shen Zhixi suddenly felt groggy, she desperately tried to support herself to stand up, but she was too seriously injured and still fell into Gu Yuan's arms.

Gu Yuan lowered his eyes and looked at the arrow wound on her chest and was silent.

Despite this, Shen Zhixi still caught the panic in his eyes.

She was stunned, Gu Yuan in the past, even if he was in a desperate situation, he would not seem so busy.

Immediately after, a commotion came from the tomb.

It's Lu Ran's Jinyi Guard!

Bai Lu looked back, and Cheng Jue didn't know when he had already left first.

She secretly said that it was not good, but now she is helpless in this situation.

All Bai Lu can do now is rescue Zhao Xuanran.

Lu Ran, who came in a hurry, failed to catch up with Bai Lu and Zhao Xuanran, and only saw Shen Zhixi, who was seriously injured, and Gu Yuan, who frowned.

"What's going on? Her Royal Highness, she ......, "Lu Ran didn't know what to do all of a sudden.

Gu Yuan's words were not so much an order as a plea, "Shi Du, explain one thing to you, help me...... Send your uncle out. ”

"What about you?" Lu Ran was anxious.

Gu Yuan explained: "Your Highness is seriously injured, after you go out, you will immediately send someone to find Imperial Doctor Xiao, and I'll tell you the rest of the things." ”

Although Lu Ran was very worried, he still followed his plan and rescued the unconscious Gu Changan first.

"I once had a nightmare...... Dream About Someone Being ...... Pick your bones...... You shed a lot of blood...... You said...... It was a dream...... Or is it reality......" Blood kept pouring out of the corners of Shen Zhixi's mouth, but she still smiled and said, "That kind of pain is worse than death...... I don't want you to go through it a second time...... Don't want to ......."

Gu Yuan had tears in her eyes, she couldn't say a word, and her trembling hands caressed her face.

"Don't you go...... Don't go,......" Shen Zhixi slowly closed her eyes.

Gu Yuan picked up the girl who was cold due to excessive blood loss, and whispered softly: "Your Highness, I'll take you home." ”

At the same time, Gu Nianqiu, who was lying on the couch, opened his eyes suddenly.

His eyes were a terrible blood-red.

Gu Yuan came out of Dingling with the lifeless eldest princess in his arms, and Lu Jing, who was answering outside, was also taken aback: "What happened to Your Highness?" ”

Gu Yuan didn't explain too much, but just said lightly: "Lord Lu, please prepare a carriage to send His Highness back to the city." ”

He didn't say much, and Lu Jing didn't ask much, but ordered someone to prepare a car to send them back.

The carriage was followed by an eight-tailed cat, and Lu Jing was still wondering if this was auspicious, and the civet cat was fleeting.

It crept behind her, as it had been for many years.

The situation on Gu Yuan's side is not good.

The high-spirited teenager in the past became depressed overnight.

When he was in the mass grave, he was not as depressed and desperate as he is now.

When Imperial Physician Xiao learned the news of the eldest princess's injury, he hurriedly rushed to Xuanhua Palace, and stayed awake all night to treat her, until dawn, her condition improved slightly.

On the night of the third day, Shen Zhixi woke up and turned around, and the person sleeping next to her was Gu Yuan, who had been guarding her for three days and three nights.

He grew up in the barracks since he was a child, and his alertness was also high, and Shen Zhixi woke up as soon as he moved slightly.

Seeing that he was about to get up and take care of himself again, Shen Zhixi hurriedly waved his hand: "No, I just had a long dream, and now it's fine." ”

Very long dreams.

Gu Yuan's heart that had been hanging for days had just been put down, and he was startled by what she said about "dreaming": "Your Highness is in a nightmare?" ”

Shen Zhixi shook her head: "I said it's okay, don't worry, I still know what my own body bones look like." ”

"And said it's okay, you were in a bad condition that day......" Gu Yuan stopped talking.

Shen Zhixi smiled: "Of course I know, a lot of blood has been shed, isn't it?" ”

Gu Yuan was silent. After a long time, he said softly: "Your Highness, you promise me that you will not risk your life in the future." ”

Shen Zhixi nodded and said, "I promise you." ”

Gu Yuan: "Hmm. ”

After a while, Shen Zhixi asked tentatively: "You said in the Dingling Underground Palace that you were once in a mass grave...... Are those things true or false? ”

Gu Yuan did not deny it: "It's all over." ”

"Yes...... Because of what? Shen Zhixi's slender fingers caressed Gu Yuan's face, and suddenly she felt the urge to cry.

She repeatedly, "Because of what?" ”

"In the thirteenth year of Zhenyuan, the Japanese invaded and plundered, and I was separated from the Gu family. That year, I was four years old. ”

Shen Zhixi's eyes were full of red marks, and tears slipped silently.

"What can a four-year-old understand, I was thrown into a mass grave by the pirates, and these beasts want to see me being eaten by wild dogs, but I don't want to die, I want to live."

"Then I learned to fight the wild dogs for food, and I can't remember how long it was."

"Later, the people of the Gu family found me, fortunately, I am still alive, I did not become the food of wild dogs, I survived, isn't it amazing?"

Two lines of tears quietly slid across Shen Zhixi's cheeks: "Ah Yuan, you are very powerful, no one in this world is more powerful than you." ”

Gu Yuan laughed silently, and a cold tear quietly fell.

Suddenly, the two heard a cat barking in the corner.

One after another.

Shen Zhixi was stunned, "It can't be that the senior of the civet cat came over, right?" ”

Gu Yuan glanced over, and when he came back, he was holding a petite and light white cat, "The eight-tailed cat recognizes the master, His Highness said that he wanted to keep it, so this will follow." ”

Shen Zhixi gently stroked the kitten, "Senior cat, I said in the Dingling Underground Palace, I will raise you for a lifetime." ”

The civet meowed in agreement.

"Then I'll give you a name, just Tingyu, how about it?"

The civet happily accepted the new name "Tingyu".

"What about Bai Lu and Zhao Xuanran?" Shen Zhixi asked.

"Didn't catch it." Gu Yuan briefly explained what happened after she fell unconscious that night.

Shen Zhixi said "um", "I felt very familiar when I saw this Bai Lu before, but now that I think about it, I have seen this person." ”

Gu Yuan smiled, "When Jinghe built a mausoleum for the first emperor in the first year, His Royal Highness once summoned her. ”

"Not this thing." Shen Zhixi shook her head, "It was before this." ”

Gu Yuan was slightly stunned.

"When Mingqing entered the palace in the twenty-third year of Zhenyuan, she told me that she had a sister who was a little lady who sang songs in Luoyin Building, called Bai Lu, and later entered the palace as a palace maid."

Gu Yuan took a piece of mung bean cake and ate it, "Can you be sure it's her?" ”

"She's very similar to Mingqing."

"Where?"

"It's like it in my bones."

Gu Yuan: "......"

After he finished eating the mung bean cake, Ming Qing also came in, "Your Highness is feeling better?" ”

Shen Zhixi nodded.

Ming Qing looked at Gu Yuan, who was still eating snacks with tears on his face, and then looked at Shen Zhixi, who was a little ruddy, and said uneasily: "Your Highness......"

"What's wrong?"

"That...... Do you need to fetch water to bathe ......," Mingqing said in a low voice.

Gu Yuan hurriedly grabbed a piece of pastry and was about to leave, "Farewell Your Highness." ”

Shen Zhixi looked at his worthless appearance, and couldn't help but smile: "Are my pastries here so delicious?" ”

Gu Yuan looked back at her and said with a smile: "Because this pastry is from His Highness, it is delicious." ”

"Like...... There is also some truth. ”

"Let's go, have a good night's sleep." Gu Yuan said with a bright smile.

Ming Qing saw that His Royal Highness was stunned when he looked at Gu Yuan's back, and blurted out on a whim: "Your Highness, I think Lord Gu is extraordinary to you." ”

"How?" Shen Zhixi picked up a piece of mung bean cake and tasted it.

Except for being sweeter than the one outside the palace, it doesn't seem to have any other taste.

"You think, Master Gu wants to eat mung bean cake, won't he go to the street to buy it himself?"

Shen Zhixi chuckled, "You don't know him, Ah Yuan has never liked desserts." ”

Mingqing leaned over mysteriously, "That's even more intriguing, he doesn't like desserts, why should he take your pastries?" ”

Shen Zhixi's face turned crimson, of course she knew Gu Yuan's intentions in doing this.

Not because he likes desserts.

Rather, she gave him this dessert.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhixi couldn't help but wonder.

Seeing that His Royal Highness was so shy that his face was flushed for a while, and then he was excited like a child, he decided to change the topic.

"Your Highness, how did you meet Master Gu back then?"

Shen Zhixi: "......"

The topic of the little girl seems to have changed, and it doesn't seem to have changed.

She rubbed her temples helplessly, feeling her head hurt even more.

Seeing this, Ming Qing didn't bother His Highness anymore, and made the bed for her and withdrew.

Shen Zhixi rolled over and fell asleep again.

Gu Yuan said a "good dream" to her before leaving, and she really had a dream at night.

This is...... Where?

At this moment, it was as if she was on a huge ship that had lost its way at sea, and she could not move.

She wanted to speak, but unlike the last time she saw King Huainan, she couldn't say a word at this moment.

In a hazy mist, she saw a girl dressed in white who looked like her.

"Who are you looking at through my shell?"

The girl already had a cold and indifferent face, and she was dressed in white and appeared in her dream inexplicably, which was really scary.

Shen Zhixi: Who are you? Didn't you know it would scare people to death?

The girl seemed to see through her thoughts, "I am a dead man, and I don't think I will be frightened by myself." ”

Shen Zhixi: "......"

"I am Yuan Changge, the daughter of the King of Jinyang in the Northern Wei Dynasty."

As if knowing that she was speechless in her dreams, Yuan Changge then explained: "Let me tell me my story, if you know my story, you will know why I appeared in your dreams." ”

Yuan Changge stared at the girl who was very similar to her, and in an instant, her life slowly unfolded like a marquee.

"A long, long time ago, there were people who cherished me like a jewel."
