In the Qinglin Palace, the candlelight floats. The moon shadow drifts away, and the wind rolls the leaves dance.

The already summer heating did not bring any warmth to the main hall. At this moment, Qi Wei sat on the empty hall, with only a bowl of tea no longer steaming and a dim candlelight in front of the stage that had not been cut for a long time. He had been sitting here for a long time, staring motionlessly at the temple door.

He's waiting, waiting for someone who will come tonight. Although it was a little later than he expected, I was afraid that it was delayed by something. However, with her temperament, even when she is ugly, she will definitely come. Although he waited quietly, at least now he could see her safe and sound, and at the same time he couldn't stop hoping in his heart, come quickly, I'll wait here!

At the same time, in the dining room.

Everything in the dining room had been cleaned up, and all the palace people who had been busy half an hour ago had returned to their residences. The lights were still on, and under the lights, the husband held the Soul Drawing Sword and plunged straight into a man's chest.

The man didn't dodge or dodge, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Brother Xian, how did you guess that it was mine?"

A rare smile also appeared on the corner of the husband's mouth, and he neatly stepped back and drew his soul sword, rushed forward and hugged him.

There was not a drop of blood on the painting soul sword that shone under the light.

This person is indeed the god she worshipped! Although his personality, demeanor and expression are all pretending to be someone else, but when he sees her holding the Soul Painting Sword and stabbing over, he is not dodged, and he is afraid that he is the only one in this world except for the master.

Draw a soul sword, listen to the orders of the Lord, and do not hurt your loved ones.

In the past five years, she has practiced swordsmanship with the gods countless times, and stumbled upon this secret.

"You're pretending to be good, and I'm not sure I'm going to give you a try. You really don't mean enough to quietly disguise yourself as someone else and sneak into the palace, and you won't tell me. Aren't you afraid that I'll expose you for impostor?"

The husband has explored with a few Xiao Gong'e around, and the current identity of the god is the head of the canteen, and he should have come to work two years ago, but he was sick for two years, and he just came back from his hometown Taibai Mountain a few days ago. However, the name is not a god-man, but his own brother, God.

"Born with the exact same face, if I really wanted to pretend to be him, even my parents couldn't tell the difference. What's more, you have never seen my brother's old-fashioned old man, and you left Taihang Mountain before me, I thought that even if you saw me, I was afraid that I would only treat it as someone else. Everything here is full of dark ghosts, and if you know it, it's not good. I didn't go looking for you. Today, I also secretly went to see your first test, and I really didn't lose to His Highness Qinglin at all. It's wonderful. ”

"What happened to your family? Now that the master has woken up, it is just a good time for you to cultivate, but the good ones have come here? Taihang Mountain is not a place where you can go, once you leave, there is no place for you there, is it?"

The husband recalled what the master said to her before parting, Sixteen, there will always be your place on Taihang Mountain.

But will he be able to go back?

The eyes of the man of God dimmed, and he suddenly grew much older. The husband looked at his sideburns in amazement, and could see a few silver threads, why did he feel so sad?

"Naturally, I won't go back. Before you left, I was ready to leave, and I didn't want you to know that I didn't mention it. It's just a pity that you can't eat my brother's dim sum. Brother Xian, my affairs are not clear for a while. You just need to know that my brother is no longer there, and the huge family fortune of the God family cannot be left without an heir, let alone give up the power at your fingertips to others. I became the best person to replace him without moving. The man of God is dead, and there is only God Heaven here. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about! You are you, no matter how much you pretend to be someone else, you can't become someone else! I have only worshipped you as a brother, not with your brother!"

"Thank you!" the man of God heard her words, put down a boulder in his heart, and leaned over to hug her with tears in his eyes. At least now, he can be himself.

The husband recalls that when he returned from a visit two years ago, he always felt that something had happened. He had grown much older at once, and he was not as timid as before. She looked up at the beams of the house, everyone had their own troubles, but they were all smiling on weekdays. In order not to burden those who care about themselves, their mood is the same. She felt a little sad and a little relieved.

The gods were also in the palace, which made her feel that this huge world was one, and they were also one.

Sure enough, there is no one in this world who should not be met. The presence of gods and men added a touch of warmth to this cold palace, making her feel at ease.

"Big brother, do you know that our challenger's food has been served **?"

The man of God trembled, sighed, and said, "Although I don't know the way, I can probably expect it. Brother Xian, this is a place to eat people. Although you have told me your thoughts, I don't want you to know that I am here, for fear that I will not know how I died one day, which will only make you sad. I hope you think I'm still happy in Taihang Mountain. Now that you know that the reality of the Dao is like this, do you still want to fight with the prince? I heard you say, aren't you childhood sweethearts? In order to keep the comfort of the people, you don't have to come here to challenge in person, what are you not ...... for?"

"Big brother, since you understand my temperament, you naturally know why I don't ask him!" The husband's eyes instantly awe-inspiring, so shocked that the god man couldn't continue to ask.

Smiled bitterly, he knew too well why she did this, but what he didn't understand was herself.

When he saw her injury three years ago, he guessed a little. Coupled with his observation of His Royal Highness Qinglin these days, his heart is even more like a mirror. Although the prince pretended to be casual, he was also an actor, and they looked at each other very clearly.

As long as there is a sincere heart, acting will eventually be exposed. From the look he looked at the husband today, he also knew that the prince was also thinking about her. Isn't it good for both of you to be frank? Why bother with it?

"I won't stop you, I just want you to be well. The man of God smiled at the wisps of green that had scattered in her ears. Although some things he can see and understand clearly, he has to find out and feel by himself after all. If he can't untie the knot in his heart, how can he persuade others?

"Big brother, I may still need your help in two days. ”

"If you call me big brother, I will die, and I will help you. ”

"Don't worry, you can't die. If you had to die to help me, I wouldn't have begged you. ”

“...... I know it. ”

......

After saying goodbye to the man of God, it is time to enter the sea. The moon disk is the head, bright as jade. The shadows of the trees rustle and the figures of people sway.

The husband was standing outside the Qinglin Hall at this moment, looking at the faint light shining through the window lattice, and hesitated. Before she came here, she had angrily said goodbye to the man of God and was going to reason with him. But standing outside the door, my heart was pounding. She thinks of him, but she is afraid to see him. Even the slender hand caressing the door trembled slightly.

From their last separation five years ago to today's first meeting in the court, five full years have passed. Five years ago, she was ten years old and he was thirteen. But now they are not the innocent children of five years ago, and even if they trace the past, they can't go back.

At night, the warm breeze was cold, constantly blowing the broken hair scattered around her ears, disturbing her thoughts. It cannot be denied that she has been looking forward to this moment in her heart, starting from the day of separation five years ago. The door she closed then, she will open today.

Knock knock, the crisp sound of knocking on the door comes to mind.

"Come in. Qi Fang said as he looked at the figure standing in front of the door for a long time, his deep voice mixed with a hint of imperceptible hoarseness.

He waited so long for her to come. Just now, he was also using forbidden techniques to probe her every move, but he didn't expect her to have such a relationship in the palace. I don't know whether to rejoice or worry about her. Three years ago, the man who took care of her when her husband learned about his situation and lost his temper drunk. He frowned, the man, who knew about them.

With a creak, he pushed the door open. The door was blown by the wind, and it slammed shut.

The sound of the door closing echoed in the empty hall, and it became more and more empty and silent in the hall, and there was only one person at the end. She looked at the man who was sitting on the rosewood chair and looked at her from afar, and her heart beat even faster. What's wrong with her? Wasn't she calm and indifferent when you saw him this morning? The atmosphere here was very cold, seven or eight points lower than outside the house. Is it because of this, so she is nervous?

"It's already time, and there will be a re-examination tomorrow. I don't know why the challenger came to this prince so late?"

The husband clasped his hands and took a deep breath. What is there to be nervous about? She came here to reason with him, not to show favoritism!

A few steps forward, standing a few feet away from him, the husband asked calmly, "I don't know if His Highness Qinglin knows that all the challengers for today's dinner have been poisoned?"

"Oh, what's wrong with that?"

What's wrong? The husband was shocked by the rhetorical question, how could he be so indifferent? A dark smile on the corner of Qi Fang's mouth stung her eyes, how could he treat human life so inappropriately?

She couldn't help but be angry and retorted: "Oh? So this is also one of the projects that the challenger needs to challenge?

On the court today, Qi Fang was relieved to see the rabbit head poking out of the backpack behind her. Although she understands medical pharmacology, she is only on paper, has not tried it herself, and is very easy to trust others. But that rabbit is here, and it will definitely protect her. Although he didn't like the rabbit spirit very much, he also knew that the more people who could protect her now, the better.

"Of course, I was also poisoned in the same way. ”

What? This really highlights the scope of the husband's understanding, is this also one of the challenging projects? How could it be?!

"For, for, for what?"

Qi Fang got up and walked steadily in front of her husband, a pair of dark jade eyes that made her startle. With these eyes, she couldn't help but explore, but she was afraid to escape.

"Do you know how many people in this palace have been poisoned to death? If I don't know the way, how can I survive until now? From the first day I stepped here to the present, how many times have I been poisoned by plots? If a challenger who can be easily solved with a little broken intestine grass is not qualified to challenge at all! Let alone be qualified to be the emperor!"

Qi Fang's sharp and deep eyebrows and eyes did not show the slightest proper retreat, his eyes were blazing, and his tone was resolute. The husband was so shocked by his momentum that he retreated twice, but he approached step by step, and the distance between the two was not far but close.

Forced by his momentum, the husband also lost his righteous awe. In all fairness, his words are true, though difficult to agree with.

"You...... You, you can do ......it in another way! The little ones make the secret ...... You really know a lot of the way, even the broken intestine grass knows the way......"

The husband's eyes lit up, and so did his ink-colored eyes.

"How did you know all about medicinal herbs? Listen to you, you studied pharmacology before you became His Highness Qinglin. This herb is not a common herb, and you are very familiar with it because you can't find it in many pharmacies. Where did you learn?"

Eight years ago, in Xinglin Hall, she secretly watched him and Kong Cui study the traditional Chinese medicine with the taste of the scriptures outside the house. One of them, Kong Cui, didn't let her play, saying that it was highly poisonous, and it was this broken intestine grass.

Qi Chun knew that she was testing herself, but he was already determined to hide it from her, how could he confess so easily. Besides, it was only the first time he had tried, and he really didn't want her to get involved in the dangerous battle in the future. It's better to let her leave the palace as soon as possible.

"You care about this prince very much, do you have the confidence that you will be able to beat me just by today's results?"

She stared at the man who was a head taller than her, unfamiliar, and terrified of the royal majesty that emanated from him. Such a deep and magnetic male voice, such deep and dark eyes, such a cold and unruly countenance, is not the gentle and considerate potato she used to be. I wanted to call him again, but he got stuck in his throat and couldn't shout.

However, a question has been hidden in my heart for a long time, and I am uncomfortable. Whatever happens tomorrow, she needs to ask tonight.

Stretching out his right hand in front of his eyes, on the palm of his hand was a blue phoenix butterfly that had followed her for three years. Youlan's saucer wings closed one by one, waiting obediently in the palm of her hand. Ever since she learned that Fluttershy wasn't sent by Master Rabbit, she became suspicious. But Fluttershy keeps her company for three years, during which time she can't speak, but she is a good listener. With its company, in the dead of night, the lonely light is cold, and a person does not feel lonely in the library pavilion. So, when she realizes that Fluttershy wasn't sent by Master Rabbit, she can't bear to have a spell destroy it.

"Do you want me to destroy it?"

"Whatever you want. ”

Qi Fang stared at the butterfly in her palm with an unchanged expression, and said indifferently.

"Sure enough, you'll see it too!"

Peach Blossom Valley told her that this illusion could only be seen by the caster and by herself.

His face sank, and he realized that he had fallen into her trap.

Holding Fluttershy on her shoulder, she finally calls out the name stuck in her throat.

"Potato ......"
