In the southwest corner of Tingwei's Mansion, there is a square pool that has just been built about half a person high above the ground, and the pool contains a silvery-white liquid like a mirror, which is the bone-turning pool water that makes people feel frightened when they hear it.

Ye Ninglu slowly walked to the bone pool in white clothes, and stood there for a long time before stretching out his trembling left hand.

"If you have time to regret it now, but if you do not act, I am afraid that your mother, who has already been taken to the execution ground, will also die. ”

Hearing Ye Ningxiang say this, Ye Ninglu finally mustered up the courage, closed her eyes, and stretched her arm into the bone pool, and then a few wisps of green smoke floated out of the bone pool, and Ye Ninglu also fainted to the ground due to severe pain, and her cheeks and chest were covered with blood that had just gushed out from her left arm.

On the beheading platform, the supervisor looked up at the sky from time to time, for fear that the beheading would be mistaken and make a big mistake. Finally, when it was noon, the warden sighed lightly and threw the wooden token to the ground, and said loudly: "The hour has come, behead!"

Just as Ye Liu closed his eyes and was about to die, a galloping fast horse walked towards the prison beheading platform.

"The emperor decreed that Ye Liu's capital crime should be pardoned and sent to the northwest frontier instead. ”

The prison beheader took the order and slowed down for a while before coming back to his senses, but fortunately he moved slowly, if he killed Ye Liu before the arrival of the holy decree, I am afraid that the next person to be tied to this prison beheading platform and die should be him.

Only then did he realize that Cheng Ajiu, who had committed the same serious crime as Ye Liu, was still there waiting for him to order him to be executed. The prison officer returned to his former cold and arrogant appearance, threw a sign of beheading and execution on the ground, and said loudly: "Execution!"

In the case that many people did not react, Cheng Ajiu, who was tied up by five flowers, had already fallen to the ground, and there was no possibility of survival.

In Mu Bai's residence in the drunken dream building, Cheng Ajiu opened his eyes with great difficulty while banging on his groggy head. The moment he opened his eyes, he was so shocked that he almost jumped out of bed, for he was neither in a prison nor in an execution ground, but in a place he had never been before.

"You're awake. ”

It was none other than his Cheng Ajiu's master Gu Liancheng who spoke. Cheng Ajiu hurriedly made a kneeling posture to worship and pleaded guilty: "Ah Jiu is incompetent, he failed to complete the task assigned by the master, and asked the master to surrender." ”

Seeing Cheng Ajiu's serious appearance, Gu Liancheng simply laughed, patted Cheng Ajiu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Ah Jiu, you are good everywhere, but everything is too serious, this kind of task that uses your own life as a bargaining chip cannot be completed by anyone, so why put pressure on yourself." ”

While speaking, Hanshuang walked into Cheng Ajiu's room with a small bowl of decoction. Gu Liancheng took the decoction and personally fed it into Cheng Ajiu's mouth with great concern.

"Ah Jiu, this is a decoction to nourish the body, you have to drink it all up, so that your injured body can quickly recover to health. I'm still waiting for you to take over this Great Bright Moon Palace in the future!"

Hearing that Gu Liancheng had the intention of passing on the throne, Cheng Ajiu was sincerely afraid, and knelt down on the bed and kowtowed to Gu Liancheng, and said some words of gratitude.

However, the touching picture of the master and apprentice was broken by a loud noise, and everyone looked in the direction of the loud noise, only to see a black shadow suddenly appear in the center of the bedroom, and the black shadow slammed into the ground before making the loud noise before.

"Gong ...... Childe?"

Probably too shocked that the person who fell from the sky and fell directly to the ground was actually his lord Mu Xize, Gu Liancheng stammered when he spoke.

"What are you still doing in a daze, help me up!"

Hearing Mu Bai say this, Gu Liancheng and Hanshuang hurriedly ran to Mu Bai and helped Mu Bai up.

"Childe, you're back a little early, so wouldn't it be easy to get through it!"

Mu Bai looked at Gu Liancheng, who was a little uneasy, and then looked at Cheng Ajiu, who was sitting on the bed with some unknown reasons, and said with a smile: "It's okay, after they killed Cheng Ajiu, they piled up his body in the mass grave, and no one will find that there is a corpse missing in the mass grave." ”

"But Childe, why did you suddenly fall to the ground?"

As soon as Mu Bai heard Gu Liancheng ask this, he glared at Gu Liancheng, and then shook off Gu Liancheng's arm, and his words were a little aggrieved.

"After being a big Si Nong for a few years, Liancheng is really becoming more and more dishonest, knowing that I just died once, and my control over my body will not be so flexible, and he still uses words to tease me!"

Gu Liancheng lowered his head, held back a smile, and then pretended to be serious and said to Mu Bai: "Don't worry, Childe, I will definitely cultivate Ah Jiu well and let him take over our industry as soon as possible." ”

Mu Bai nodded, didn't say more, and slowly walked out of the room while holding his hand on the waist that had just been twisted.

Ye Ninglu's arm that was almost swallowed up to the point had stopped bleeding, Ye Ningxiang did not give her enough time to recuperate, let alone give her a chance to meet her son Cheng Yong, but when she was sure that Ye Ninglu would not die immediately, she forcibly let Ye Ninglu leave Beijing with Ye Liu and go towards the northwest desert.

In the past two months, the nights of Longhua Palace have always been very quiet, because Ye Ningxiang asked them to rest before they could take a break on the grounds that the palace people in Longhua Palace were overworked. At this moment, there was only Xiao Qingyu alone in the emperor's bedroom.

Every time it comes to this silent and unmanned night, Xiao Qingyu always shows a little bitter smile with self-deprecation. He had never been afraid of loneliness, and he didn't even want someone to be by his side all the time, but now he was afraid of being alone, because he had limited mobility, and he wanted someone to be by his side all the time, to help him according to his own needs.

However, Ye Ningxiang seemed to be intent on revenge on him, and deliberately removed all the palace people in Longhua Palace every night, leaving him alone to fend for himself.

Gao Fei heard the sound of broken porcelain in Xiao Qingyu's bedroom, so he rushed into Xiao Qingyu's bedroom regardless of Ye Ningxiang's will. When he entered the dormitory, he saw that Xiao Qingyu was falling to the ground, and his hands were still oozing blood from the broken teapot.

"Childe, how are you?"

Gao Fei asked worriedly as he pulled Xiao Qingyu up.

Xiao Qingyu smiled, her cheeks slightly red, and she seemed a little embarrassed. He pursed his lips and opened his mouth with some embarrassment.

"Goofy, I want to ...... I want to get rid of it. ”

Somehow, when Goofy heard such words, his nose suddenly soured, and his eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

"Okay, I'll take you. ”

Thinking about how shrewd, capable, and personable he was back then, if Mu Xize was the most beautiful man in the country, then his master was the first beautiful man in the country. But this person who is full of arrogance in his bones is now difficult to achieve even the most basic physiological needs alone.

With Gao Fei's help, Xiao Qingyu sat back on the bed, his eyebrows stretched, and he seemed to relax a lot.

"Much more comfortable. ”

Then, Xiao Qingyu leaned very lazily on the pillow standing at the head of the bed, smiled and said to Gao Fei: "In the middle of the night, you don't care about the protection of the palace, what are you doing here here?"

"Childe. ”

Goofy's eyebrows furrowed, as if hesitating to say what to say next. Finally, after sighing, Goofy continued to speak.

"Why did Childe practice himself like this, knowing that Ye Ningxiang hated you and murdered you, and still ignored Ye Ningxiang's actions, and was willing to endure the pain that Ye Ningxiang brought you?"

Xiao Qingyu opened his eyes and looked straight at Gao Fei for a while before he spoke: "Don't you know why I am like this? If the person lying here today is you, and Ye Ningxiang is Feng Yun, what choice will you make?"

Gao Fei didn't expect Xiao Qingyu to ask like this, and his heart couldn't help but tremble, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"I know that I don't have a long lifespan, if I don't let Ning Xiang's power become stronger at this time, it will only be Feng Jingzhi who controls the power of Rui Guo at that time. At that time, not only Ning Xiang, but also the loyal people in the court will probably be killed by Feng Jingzhi. Instead of watching the Rui regime fall into the hands of the sinister Feng Jingzhi, it is better to leave it unchecked, let Ye Ningxiang act wantonly, and carve up the power in Feng Jingzhi's hands. ”

"But ......"

But in this way, how much pain will Xiao Qingyu endure invisibly, and how much inner torture will he endure! Gao Fei lowered his eyes, choked up, and couldn't speak.

"I didn't believe in things like karma originally, but now that I'm older, I believe in it. But fortunately, I won the world in this life, married my beloved woman, and let the people live a happy life again, which can be regarded as a worthwhile life. ”

In Changle Palace, Ye Ningxiang had already fallen asleep. Ah Bi, who had been hovering at the door of Ye Ningxiang's bedroom, was full of anxiety, and a layer of sweat was soaked in her forehead. She hesitated in her heart whether to disturb Ye Ningxiang, the unpredictable and moody master.

If it wasn't a last resort, Ah Bi would never risk being killed and wanted to disturb Ye Ningxiang's dream. Because Ye Ningxiang's father suddenly became critically ill, he became ill quickly, and now he was dying, but he kept shouting Ye Ningxiang's name in his mouth.

After lingering for a while, Ah Bi clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, opened the door of Ye Ningxiang's bedroom, and broke into her bedroom.

"Mother, mother. ”

After A Bi called softly a few times, Ye Ningxiang finally broke free of her sleepy eyes, and then glared at Abi angrily and roared: "Abi, you are bold!"

Ah Bi knelt on the ground with a thud, crying while saying, "Niangniang, Lord Guozhang is critically ill, if you don't go to see him tonight, I'm afraid you won't see him again!"

"What did you say?"

Ye Ningxiang didn't expect that her father, who had always been in good health, would suddenly become critically ill, with a rare panic on her face. She didn't dress up, she simply put on a big hat and rushed towards Ye Mansion.

Ye Mansion, Daddy Ye's residence is surrounded by the doctors of the Tai Hospital. It was obviously winter, but the doctors were all covered in sweat, like ants on a hot pot pacing aimlessly around the house.

And Daddy Ye, who was lying on the bed, was breathing weakly, his mouth was wide open, and his lips were purple, as if he couldn't inhale the air around him with all his strength.

When Ye Ningxiang rushed to Daddy Ye's side, Daddy Ye was still chanting Ye Ningxiang's name. The moment he saw Ye Ningxiang, Father Ye burst into tears, choked up, and seemed to want to say a lot to Ye Ningxiang, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Those dirty, rotten eyes looked straight at Ye Ningxiang, and their eyes were full of too much emotion. seems to have reluctance to this daughter who has lost her mother since she was a child and has not loved her well, as if she has resentment against Ye Ningxiang for framing Ye Ninglu and Ye Liu to such a situation, and as if she misses Ye Ninglu and Ye Liu who are still on the road to exile.

Thousands of indescribable emotions converged into his old eyes, and finally condensed into drops of crystal tears, sliding down Daddy Ye's wrinkled face.

Somehow, seeing such an old and decadent Father Ye, Ye Ningxiang felt a piercing pain in her heart, and she was so painful that she could barely control her tears. is obviously a named father, and obviously has nothing to do with her, but at this moment, she has the illusion that she really regards him as her father. Heartache and reluctance, these emotions really exist in Ye Ningxiang's heart.

"Ning Xiang, don't take revenge on your mother and sister, they are all your relatives!"

This was the last sentence that Daddy Ye said to her in this life, and his voice was weak but full of affection and warm expectation. Obviously he should be a ruthless and unrighteous person, but when Father Ye said such a thing, Ye Ningxiang agreed without thinking about it, and nodded while crying, as if he had changed at all.

And when Ye Ningxiang came back to her senses and realized her abnormal behavior, Father Ye, who was held in her arms, had already swallowed his breath and left the world forever.
