The Bad Man was nearly dead at the beginning and was picked up by Yang Shuzi and taken home

Zhaojunyuan

The summer breeze blows into the back garden of Zhaojun Courtyard, bringing coolness to this hot summer. The willow branches in the garden sway, and the peony petals flutter in the wind, filling the yard with fragrance.

Li Zhaozhao was wearing a peach-pink dress with exquisite peony pattern embroidery and a belt with a black bird pattern around her waist. A few strands of hair danced in the wind, adding a touch of softness and elegance to her.

She rolled up her sleeves and walked lightly on the wet bluestone slabs, as if she was afraid of disturbing the butterflies sleeping in the sea of ​​flowers.

An exquisite lunch was set up on the stone table in the pavilion in the garden. There were also two wooden figurines and a pot of freshly brewed plum wine on the table, exuding a faint fragrance.

She gently brushed away the fallen flowers on the table, carefully adjusted the position of the tableware, then held her chin with both hands, looked around, and quietly waited for her lover.

After the trip to Qianling Mausoleum ended and Li Maozhen returned, she completely let go of her previous burdens.

Li Maozhen is on official business at Prince Qi's mansion, and An Dongjun is at Huanyinfang. The mutual support and endless romance that he had waited for for more than ten years have finally come true.

Close your eyes gently, take a deep breath of the floral scent in the air, let your heart slowly calm down with the rhythm of the summer breeze, and the corners of your mouth begin to rise.

The hustle and bustle in the distance and the troubles in the world have nothing to do with me anymore!

However, after having some free time, my thoughts would always unconsciously drift to the things that Anton-jun had hidden from me.

How long can this kind of life last?

For some reason, she was always uneasy in her heart, and as she thought about it, a layer of gloom appeared on her delicate face.

Da da da!

As the footsteps got closer, she finally saw the person she had been thinking about.

At this time, the afternoon sun shines through the lush branches and leaves, shining on Anton Jun's face, forming mottled light and shadows.

He walked hurriedly, as if he wanted to make up for the blank period of time: "Wife!"

"Old man!"

Then the two of them sat opposite each other. Although Anton Jun had tried very hard to create a warm atmosphere, Li Zhaozhao still felt something strange.

However, she did not say anything and continued to put food into his bowl enthusiastically. Anton Jun was tactful and did not expose her.

Because this kind of life, even if it is only for a moment, as long as this moment is real, it's good as long as the person is around.

......

As night fell, the two snuggled in bed. The room was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing and heartbeats. They both tacitly waited for the other to speak first.

After a while, she finally broke the silence, her voice trembling: "How long will you be gone this time?"

Anton Jun's arms stretched out from behind her, hugged her tightly, and whispered in her ear: "Soon, when I come back, Qiguo will be the only one."

"Huh~" Li Zhaozhao took a deep breath, turned over and hugged him, hiding in his arms:

"I'll wait for you...after you come back...we'll get married!"

A voice in her heart told her that she couldn't wait any longer and she had to say it today. She should keep him this time.

But in the end she just said wait.

Hearing this, Anton was stunned for a moment, then he lifted her hair and kissed her forehead gently:

"Okay! Then I will marry you with the most unique betrothal gift in the world."

As if not wanting to make such a joyful topic too serious, Li Zhaozhao changed the subject, but his teasing tone was faintly choked with sobs:

"It's good that you came back in time. Don't forget, you are my pretty boy!

The betrothal gifts and other things will all be covered by this Empress! And when the time comes, I will tell you a good news!"

Anton Jun smiled and said, "Okay! When I come back...I will definitely marry you!"

At this moment, Li Zhaozhao was startled, then hugged him tighter and begged, "Don't..."

"Believe me..."

A night of silence.

......

A few days later, Qingcheng Mountain

After Li Xingyun received the news about the Fire Ganoderma, he went down the mountain as usual. Not long after he left, a handsome, blind man in white came to Jianlu with a cane.

......

Jianlu

Ji Ruxue sat alone in the main hall of the bamboo house, holding a booklet in her hands, looking carefully at the words written on it and reading them word by word.

“I am Li Xingyun’s woman, and I want to help him restore the Tang Dynasty.

I am Li Xingyun's woman, and I want to help him find the Longquan treasure.

"I am Li Xingyun's woman, I must take good care of his daily life..."

Just as she was mechanically reciting the contents above, the man in white interrupted her thoughts:

"We haven't heard from you for so long, we thought you'd been exposed."

Ji Ruxue put the booklet neatly on the table, looked over when she heard the voice, and asked in a somewhat unfriendly tone: "Who are you?"

The man in white did not answer. In his eyes, Ji Ruxue was just a puppet, so he just asked:

"Where is Li Xingyun? I'm here to meet our mutual friend."

Unexpectedly, when Ji Ruxue heard the word "friend", she carefully opened the booklet, saw the outermost line of words, read it silently, and immediately put on a smiling face.

"So you are Xingyun's friend. Xingyun went out early in the morning. Please sit down first. I will prepare some tea and snacks for you."

Feeling this extremely unnatural enthusiasm, the man in white was confused, "What's going on?"

...

Li Xingyun was informed of the news about the Fire Ganoderma by Quan Laoshi and his son yesterday.

So I came here today with great expectations, but when I arrived at the house of Quan Laoshi and his son, I found the two people who had been murdered.

Realizing that something might have happened, he hurried to Jianlu.

...

Jianlu

Ji Ruxue prepared the tea and snacks, placed them in front of the man in white, and introduced them:

"This is the Emei snow buds that were just picked this year, and this is the sweet potato that Senior Brother Xingyun brought... It tastes very good, sir, please try it."

The man in white simply took the teacup, took a sip, and then said to Ji Ruxue: "I've had my tea, now let's talk business."

"Please enlighten me, sir."

"Your mission has changed. Your current order is to eliminate Li Xingyun."

Hearing this, Ji Ruxue silently recited a sentence from the booklet in her heart, her face changed again, she drew out the Suxin Sword and slashed at him: "Kill you!"

The man in white hastily raised his cane to resist, "What are you doing?"

Ji Ruxue had no intention of talking to him now, and said with a ferocious look: "If you dare to touch Xingyun, I will kill you!"

After saying that, he slashed at him again. The space in the main hall was small, and it was extremely difficult to avoid the fight between the two.

There was a gurgling sound of water outside, and the only sense of hearing the man in white could rely on was completely useless. Moreover, his martial arts skills were not strong to begin with, and he used hidden weapons himself.

As a result, within ten moves, the man in white was covered with wounds.

He was feeling extremely regretful now. Ji Ruxue was a lunatic and it was impossible to reason with her.

At this time, his crutch had slipped out of his hand and was accidentally stepped on by Ji Ruxue.

Just when Ji Ruxue was about to give him a fatal blow, a silver needle came and knocked her sword slightly off course and pierced straight into the table next to her.

Ji Ruxue looked outside and saw that the person coming was Li Xingyun.
