The wind and snow seemed to be getting stronger.

Yu Guiwan put on a straw hat, and everywhere he looked was covered with snow. The bright red color broke out from the white, and was not covered by the snow. Instead, it looked even more vibrant.

She just sat there, and by the second half of the night the wine in the pot was finished. Yu Guiwan could only rely on her willpower to hold on, trying to use her internal strength to mobilize the blood circulation around her body to maintain her body temperature.

Time passes little by little.

Yu Guiwan was almost too cold to open her eyes. In her daze, she seemed to have returned to that day, when the snow was as heavy as it was today.

……

On New Year's Eve, the entire Yu family was executed.

"No! No!"

Yu Guiwan screamed miserably. She broke free from her restraints and ran forward, but her face was splashed with blood.

In an instant, a dazzling red appeared between heaven and earth.

She watched her brother die tragically in front of her, but could do nothing.

"Xie Yunqi! You are worse than a beast! The Yu family helped you ascend to the throne, so why are you trying to kill them all?"

With tears in her eyes, she questioned the man in dragon robe in front of her.

The man looked indifferent after hearing this and slowly uttered a few words:

"If you want your minister to die, you will have to die."

Yu Guiwan forced a bitter smile. What a truant: if the king wants his subject to die, the subject must die!

She was blind to believe that people in the royal family could really be in love. She was blind to fall in love with Xie Yunqi, but she caused her brother to die tragically under his sword.

"Where are my father and mother!" She held her brother's body and looked at Xie Yunqi with red eyes.

Xie Yunqi's face remained expressionless. He just raised his hand, and soon guards came up dragging two corpses. The road was covered with blood.

When Yu Guiwan saw the face of the corpse, he suddenly rushed over, speechless in despair.

"what--"

She screamed at the top of her lungs, and immediately a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Today was supposed to be a day for family reunion, but Xie Yunqi actually used this excuse to specially summon the Yu family into the palace to have New Year's Eve dinner with her, and used this opportunity to catch all the Yu family members in one fell swoop!

Xie Yunqi raised his hand and uttered two cold words:

"Fire arrows."

In an instant, thousands of arrows pierced his heart.

Yu Guiwan's body fell to the ground with a loud bang, and the blood on the ground dyed the white snow red.

"Oh no! Your Majesty! Prince Chen has led his men into the palace!" Someone ran in covered in blood and knelt in front of Xie Yunqi.

Xie Yunqi's face changed drastically. Before he could say anything, Xie Sui rushed in with his men and surrounded Xie Yunqi.

The first thing Xie Sui saw was Yu Guiwan, who was covered in arrows and refused to close his eyes.

His heart tightened and breathing became difficult.

Xie Sui approached Yu Guiwan step by step. The last few steps were taken while he knelt and hugged Yu Guiwan's body, closing her eyes with his trembling right hand.

"what……"

He roared hoarsely, tears falling one after another and soaking his face.

"Awan, Awan."

"I'm sorry, Wan, it's all my fault."

"I shouldn't have let you marry him. I was wrong. I was wrong..."

He sobbed softly, bursting into tears, feeling extremely heartbroken.

The next second, Xie Sui suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Kill all of Xie Yunqi's men. Xie Yunqi, please leave some of them alive for me."

After explaining everything, Xie Sui held Yu Guiwan's body and stumbled out of the palace with her.

……

Yu Guiwan suddenly woke up, gasping for breath.

So, it was Xie Sui who collected the body for her and the Yu family?

It turned out that Xie Sui had avenged her in her previous life.

When did Xie Sui meet her? Why was there no memory of him or his existence in her mind?

Thinking of this, Yu Guiwan looked down and found that the fire lotus that had not yet grown a bud had now grown a fiery red bud.

She stood there in a daze, her eyes flickering, afraid that she might have fallen asleep, and she stared for a full minute before she dared to believe it.

Yu Guiwan carefully picked the flower buds, took out the wooden box from the package and put the flower buds in it, then held the wooden box in her arms. Because she had been sitting in the snow all night, her legs were already frozen, and she shook her body for a long time before she stood up.

Dawn broke and the snow stopped.

The sunlight gently penetrates the clouds and mist, lightly sprinkles on the snow, flashing the light of life.

*

"Dong dong dong."

Yu Guiwan was knocking on the door. She didn't know how she got down the mountain. She only knew that she had to go faster and faster.

Su Qingyu opened the door and was stunned when she saw Yu Guiwan like this.

His clothes were ragged, his cloak in tatters, his eyes red and his face haggard, the result of not getting enough rest for days.

"Princess, please come in with me and wash up before returning. I will find someone to apply medicine for you."

"Thank you, there's no need to apply medicine." She opened her mouth and her voice was hoarse.

Yu Guiwan didn't even wash up. He changed into the clothes prepared by Su Qingyu and was about to leave immediately.

After changing clothes, Su Qingyu had already ordered someone to wait outside with a horse. Before leaving, Yu Guiwan said sincerely again: "Thank you very much. I will treat you to a drink when you return to Beijing."

She jumped onto the horse and disappeared from Su Qingyu's sight.

……

Xu Huizhou prepared medicine on time every day to feed the unconscious Xie Sui, and looked forward to Yu Guiwan's return every day.

"Master, tomorrow is the seventh day. Why hasn't my junior sister come back yet? Even if we can't find her, she should have come back." Xu Huizhou's eyes were full of worry. It was too dangerous to go into the mountains in heavy snow.

Chu Yue was also worried and couldn't sleep all night.

Beichu also sent people to look for Huo Lian, but in the end, nothing came of it.

"Ugh."

Xu Huizhou sighed and heard a familiar voice coming from outside the yard.

"Master, Senior Brother, I'm back."

Xu Huizhou was still wondering if he was hallucinating when he saw Chu Yue already outside the house.

Yu Guiwan was standing outside the yard, leading his horse. His hands, which were holding the reins, had frostbite on them. His face was haggard, with dark circles under his eyes, and he looked very unwell.

In just a few days, he lost a lot of weight.

"Master, I brought back the flower bud." Yu Guiwan took out the box from his arms and opened it. A red flower bud appeared in front of the two of them, and he said with a smile.

Chu Yue felt so distressed when he saw this that his eyes instantly turned red.

"Your senior brother is helping me, you should go and rest quickly." Chu Yue took the wooden box and urged.

Yu Guiwan nodded in response, but said, "I'll go see him first."

After not seeing each other for a few days, Yu Guiwan saw Xie Sui again and felt that his face looked even worse. She touched his almost cold face and whispered, "Xie Sui."

She suddenly had a lot to say to Xie Sui, but in the end she just opened her mouth and called his name.

Yu Guiwan visited Xie Sui before going to the next room. As soon as he touched the bed, he fell asleep.
