Chapter 37: Fate (3)

Actually, the fuse of the matter is this.

Yesterday was the annual death day of the slaughtered people of the Bailu Clan, and Zhen Keer, who couldn't leave the palace, knelt alone by the dark lake at night, and lit the water lanterns that he had pasted and written with thoughts and blessings, one by one, and put them into the lake one by one. This is done to honor the memory of deceased relatives and clansmen.

Watching the candlelit krathong drift away, Zhen Keer's sadness flooded, she covered her face, and cried in a low voice that her liver and intestines were broken, and she couldn't help herself.

After crying for a while, Zhen Keer realized that someone around her was lighting the remaining Krathong. She raised her teary eyes and suddenly saw the eldest prince Cheng Lie holding a lit water lantern, looking at her with a complicated expression.

Zhen Ke'er was busy kneeling, with a thick nasal voice, and saluted, "Slave maid...... Meet...... The Great Prince".

Cheng Lie nodded solemnly, slowly put the burning water lantern in his hand into the water, and after a long time, he asked softly: "Is this ...... The customs of your White Deer Clan?".

"Yes!"

"Then let's put it together, I believe that your people will receive your heart"

"Yes!"

After silently placing the two water lanterns, when Cheng Lie saw that the water lanterns in his hand were written in the name of Lu Xiaowu, his expression changed several times in an instant, he hesitated and hesitated, and then spoke: "You...... What do you think, that deer dance...... Are you still alive?".

Zhen Ke'er raised her fresh face like rain hitting pear blossoms, looked at Cheng Lie with a look of anticipation and some trepidation, as if comforting a child who was awakened by a nightmare, and said gently and firmly: "Don't worry...... She's alive...... I must be alive!".

After speaking, Zhen Ke'er lowered her head and put the krathong written in Cui'er's name into the lake, "I know, they are both alive."

Cheng Lie turned his head to stare at the sad expression, but also with firmness, tears on his pretty face, as if he had received some kind of relief, his heart suddenly warmed, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "That's right, I believe you!"

After Cheng Lie finished speaking, he pushed the lantern that had been lit and brought Xiao Wu's blessing to the clansmen into the lake, and stared at the lamp floating away steadily.

Cheng Lie seemed to be talking to himself, and as if to the misty void, he said, "Lu Xiaowu, this prince will definitely find you...... Definitely!".

Cheng Lie stood up after speaking, glanced at Zhen Ke'er, who had lost a lot of weight, and walked away.

Cheng Lie didn't want to see or dare to see Zhen Ke'er, although he had a great affection for her. Because when he sees Zhen Keer, he will think of that Lu Xiaowu, and when he thinks of Lu Xiaowu, he will think of his younger brother Mu Bai.

Due to his own negligence, he lost the saint deer Xiaowu, and Cheng Lie was already guilty of being embarrassed, and he always felt that he had been pressed by a big stone in his heart, and he was so sullen that he couldn't breathe. Although he had already sent a secret guard to look for it, it was undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack to search for a clue. After a year of searching, I didn't find even the slightest useful information.

What scared Cheng Lie the most was that Lu Xiaowu was dead.

If Lu Xiaowu died, then the nearly 10,000 years of preparation of the father and the high priest would be in vain, and most importantly, Mu Bai would have no chance of coming back to life. Since Xiao Wu didn't see anyone dead or disappeared, Cheng Lie has always been unable to eat and sleep, and his days are sad and uneasy.

Finding Lu Xiaowu is the most important thing in Cheng Lie's heart to have a chance to save his beloved brother and find Xiao Wu, which has become the deepest obsession in his heart.

Today, Zhen Keer's short words made Cheng Lie's uneasy heart get a little comfort, and he believed in the intuition of Lu Xiaowu, a playmate since childhood. Zhen Ke'er is so sure that Xiao Wu is alive, he can trust her, because he himself feels the same way, he believes that the honest but very smart Lu Xiaowu will not die so easily.

Zhen Keer felt like a lonely goose, lonely and frightened, and the sorrow in her heart was unspeakable.

This year, Zhen Keer lost interest in everyone and everything in the outside world, and was busy embroidering robes for the eldest prince day and night, and she used her busyness to numb herself. The rest of the time, most of the time was alone in a daze, and she relied on the sweet memories of the past to comfort her withered heart.

Zhen Keer got off the couch in a corner of the embroidery room with an injury, she didn't want to leave without any explanation, so she walked to the case, spread out a piece of white silk, and wrote very seriously on it, "Clean and clean, white silk clarifies".

Zhen Keer didn't shed tears, death seemed to her to go to a long-awaited feast, she changed into a white robe, Xiaofeng's favorite thing is white, so she also fell in love with white.

After changing her clothes, Zhen Keer sat in front of the bronze mirror, calmly coiled her long hair, held it with a hosta, and chose two beaded flowers of the same jade quality to insert on her head, looking left and right, although there were red and swollen wounds on her face, she still did not cover it, she was as beautiful as a new chrysanthemum.

"Well, Xiao Feng would like her to dress up like this."

Zhen Keer thought in her heart, grabbed the white silk for writing, stood on the prepared stool, and put the three-foot white silk that had been hung and tied before around her neck, she did not hesitate at all, and kicked the stool over.

Zhen Keer is back to the day when she felt the happiest......

The weather is just right, the breeze is warm, and the pomegranate blossoms are bright red.

She hid behind a stout pomegranate tree, and watched Xiao Feng running around looking for her, her clothes fluttering in the wind, what a radiant, elegant and handsome young man in white!

"It's really Kerr, it's really Kerr"

"I know you're here, come out, don't hide"

"If you don't come out again, this young master will be angry"

"Haha, I see you"

It's really cute that she couldn't hold back her laughter, she was behind the pomegranate tree not far from Xiaofeng's side, but he lied and was seen through by her.

The laughter alarmed Xiao Feng, he came to the eyes of the real person panting and blushing, pretending to be angry with a calm face, but he couldn't hide the affection in his eyes.

Xiao Feng stretched out a hand against the tree, forced Zhen Ke'er against the tree and couldn't move, panting in her ear, and whispered, "Say, what crime should you be guilty of playing with your husband like this?"

"Husband?!", Zhen Ke'er was panicked by Xiao Feng's words and the heat wave that spewed out of her mouth, she blushed and snorted, "......Nonsense! Haven't figured it out yet?".

"Didn't think about anything?"

Zhen Ke'er couldn't stand it the most, Xiao Feng's pair of pretty eyes and warm expectations flowed, her heart was about to be looked at, and she looked at Xiao Feng stupidly.

Xiao Feng put her head against her head, her eyes were like spring water, her face was full of pampering and pride, "Well, why don't you answer?", and then, with a low smile, teased: "Your face ...... Why is it red?".

Zhen Ke'er looked shy, and hurriedly touched her hot cheek with her hand to cover it up, "That's there, I ......", and she couldn't make up a reason for it in a panic.

Xiao Feng grabbed Zhen Keer's hand violently, looked at the handsome face in front of him that was more delicate and moving than the pomegranate flower, his eyes were blurred, and he whispered, "Zhen Ke'er, you are mine...... In this life, you can only follow me and accompany me...... You have to believe that this young master will make you the happiest woman in the world!"

Is he confessing? Is he proposing? Really Ke'er is overjoyed, she has been looking forward to this day for too long.

Zhen Keer liked the young master Lu Xiaofeng when she was very young, and what she wanted was to marry him when she grew up.

As the young master of the White Deer Clan and the future heir, Fengjun is also gentle and elegant, and marrying him is the dream of all the girls in the clan. The girls have been chasing their young master, and they have deliberately tried to please him with all kinds of strange things, and for this, they have eaten a lot of idle vinegar.

Happiness and luck came suddenly! It made people panic and feel at a loss.

"What? Don't want to be my woman?"

"No! I, I...... I think!"

Zhen Ke'er said what was in her heart in a panic, her face turned even redder with shame, and even her long white and tender neck was dyed red. She was too afraid that Xiao Feng would misunderstand, she had been in love with him for too many years, and her heart had long been captured by her young master.

The two stood very close, their breath could be heard, and through their clothes, they could feel each other's heartbeats like drums, and the two young hearts in love were close together in this brilliant red falling flowers flying all over the sky.

One is like jade, the other is like a flower, the love is determined, and the red and bright promise each other

Pomegranate flowers, no more beautiful than her lips

Pomegranate seeds, no sweeter than his kiss

She is crazy for him, he is crazy for her, so he is so affectionate and sweet, how can he be willing to let it go again

Zhen Ke'er stared at the white-clothed young man in front of him with big eyes and big eyes, and the secret love that had been painstakingly for many years was finally completed today!

Xiao Feng hugged her soft and boneless lover tightly, gasped for a moment, took off a piece of emerald green jade pendant from her waist, hung it on her neck, and whispered in her ear: "This jade pendant is my family heirloom, left for you to make love, you need to wear it every day...... Waiting...... I'll marry you home!".

Zhen Keer touched the jade pendant with her hand and cried with joy. In the middle of the night, she raised her pear blossom and rainy eyes, looked at Xiaofeng infatuatedly, and nodded heavily.

Zhen Keer also took out a sachet embroidered with flowers from his sleeve, hung it on Xiao Feng's waist, and said infinitely affectionately: "This sachet was embroidered by me for the young master, today, I will hand it over to the young master together with Zhen Keer's true heart...... From now on, the sea will never be lost!".

The two teenagers were in tears, chanting "The sea is dry and rotten, never lose each other!", and they hugged each other tightly......

Acquaintance and acquaintance, mutual pleasure and promise.

Lu Xiaofeng and Zhen Keer both swore that they would be alone for the rest of their lives, and they would never be separated from each other until they were old!

The dream is so beautiful! I'm about to see Xiaofeng...... She wanted to tell him how much she missed him without him! She could no longer convince herself that she had not broken her word to him in this desolate world!

Zhen Ke'er smiled faintly at the corner of her mouth, her head drooped, and the white silk with the words "Clean and clean, white silk is clear and white" slipped from her hand and fell to the ground silently.

"Ahh......h Save people!", a terrible shout resounded in the sky above the Wude Palace.

The shouts called a lot of palace people and palace maids, and everyone saw Manshu's pale face, trembling and sitting at the door of the embroidery room, and also saw a woman dressed in plain clothes, hanging on the beam of the embroidery room.

The shouting was also heard by Cheng Lie, who had just finished visiting his seriously ill mother, and he hurried over with his personal guards Long Teng and Yin Suo.

This Long Teng is the personal guard of the second prince Mu Bai before, he was the close attendant of the eldest prince before, because Cheng Lie was not worried about others taking care of his younger brother, so he gave the most intimate Long Teng by his side to Mu Bai. After Mu Bai died, Cheng Lie brought Long Teng back to him.

Originally, Cheng Lie was in the training ground outside the palace, inspecting the Flame Tiger Army that had just been formed. Not long after arriving, someone from the palace hurriedly came to report that the queen had just fainted.

Cheng Lie hurried back to the palace and learned that the queen mother fainted because she saw Mu Bai's old things and was overly sad. After serving the sober queen mother drank the medicine and fell asleep again, Cheng Lie returned to his martial arts hall with Long Teng and Yin Suo, and heard shouts from afar.

Seeing that the eldest prince was coming, the palace people, palace maids, and guards who were still chattering and watching just now got out of the way, and knelt on the ground and didn't dare to come out of the air again.

Cheng Lie walked into the house with a calm red face, and saw a woman in white who had just been lifted off the beam of the room by two guards and was lying flat on the ground.

Cheng Lie saw a delicate face with a faint smile and as light as white chrysanthemum, and he recognized it, this woman was Zhen Ke'er who was still with him last night.

Long Teng tried Zhen Ke'er's snort, gave a salute, and whispered, "She, she's out of breath."

Cheng Lie suddenly felt his heart throb violently, and his brows suddenly frowned. Seeing that there was a piece of white silk beside Zhen Keer, he walked over to pick it up heavily, and saw that it was written, "Clean and clean, white silk is clear".

After reading it, Cheng Lie felt that his heart was throbbing again and again, and he understood that this Zhen Ke'er was forced to die, perhaps, it was his act of putting a water lantern with her last night that killed her. He knows the pickled things that are staged every day in the deep palace, but he is not in the mood or interested.

He didn't want her to die, Cheng Lie hoarsely shouted, "Quickly pass on the witch doctor!"

Cheng Lie didn't want to watch such a simple and beautiful woman die without a quarrel with the world, he could still vaguely feel the comfort and warmth that her magical reply and caring eyes brought him last night.

can't wait, Cheng Lie has the power in his hands and passes on some true qi to Zhen Ke'er.

The eldest prince's unreasonable behavior stunned Long Teng, Yin Suo and all the onlookers, and even more stupid, Xiangluo, Mei Luo and others who had just rushed over.

A master's loss of cultivation in order to save a palace maid is much beyond everyone's imagination. In fact, even Cheng Lie didn't understand why he did this? Could it be that he just didn't want to see her unjustly die because of him?

Who can say what is going on in the dark?

Zhen Keer was rescued, and it was not difficult to find out. Xiang Luo, Mei Luo, and the palace people and maids who participated in the beating were all reprimanded, or assigned, or sold.

Xiangluo, Mei Luo and a few thoughtful palace maids were crying dead and alive, and they and the masters who offered them were full of grief and indignation, and a storm caused by jealousy made their years of hard work come to naught.

People have ten thousand calculations, and the sky has one calculation.

Xiangluo, Meiluo and others wanted and wanted, and they used all their efforts, but they couldn't get it or get it. In the end, count yourself and count yourself, and count and count is a void!

Zhen Keer wanted to die but couldn't, but what she didn't want was forced to her. After she recovered from her injury, she was arranged by Cheng Lie to be by her side and became a personal maid that everyone admired.
