Best friends travel through time together! Marry the paranoid! Divorce together

Under Xiang Chenyu's gaze, He Chaoye slowly stopped in front of Xiang Huaiyue.

Xiang Huaiyue looked at him strangely, somewhat confused.

What does he want to do?

It was creepy that he just stared at her without saying a word.

He Chaoye rubbed his hands together until his palms were burning hot, then he wrapped her delicate hands in them.

The scorching heat spread from his palm to Xiang Huaiyue's whole body, even her heart was inadvertently burned.

Xiang Huaiyue felt as if he was struck by a huge thunderbolt, and he stood there in a daze.

His deep voice lingered in her ears, "No matter how angry you are, don't risk catching a cold."

Xiang Huaiyue's lips twitched a few times. She looked at him with a look of astonishment and retorted, "You've said everything good and bad. Didn't you ask me to throw it away?"

"If Your Highness the Princess is so obedient, why didn't you listen when I told you not to come with me?" He Chaoye lowered his eyes and looked at her, with no emotion on his face.

Xiang Huaiyue almost couldn't breathe and glared at him with gritted teeth.

It seems he is bringing up old issues.

This guy really holds a grudge!

Xiang Chenyu couldn't hear their conversation, he only saw that they were acting intimately, as if they were talking about love.

They were so shy about being affectionate in front of him?

They don't even treat him as a human being!

Xiang Chenyu coughed lightly, pretending to make a sound to attract their attention.

Unexpectedly, He Chaoye and Xiang Huaiyue were still staring at each other, without even glancing at him.

Xiang Chenyu was so angry that he stomped his feet.

The next moment, the snow he was standing on collapsed and his feet sank into a hole unexpectedly.

He Chaoye and Xiang Huaiyue heard the noise and looked over, both with suspicion on their faces.

Xiang Chenyu's face turned as black as charcoal, and he couldn't help but blurt out, "Is this snow made of tofu? I just stepped on it lightly, and it collapsed?"

He pulled his legs out of the snow while complaining. His boots were covered with a thick layer of snow that couldn't be removed.

Xiang Huaiyue's eyebrows curved, she chuckled, and said with a curled lip:

"Seventh brother, you call that a light step? If this patch of snow wasn't solid enough, it wouldn't just collapse. I'm afraid the entire area within a ten-mile radius would be shaken to the ground by your overwhelming strength."

Xiang Chenyu's expression cracked a little, and after a long pause he said, "Sister, you are exaggerating a bit. I am not as good as you say."

Xiang Huaiyue smiled faintly, "No? Seventh brother is still too modest."

Xiang Chenyu: “…”Okay, there’s no point in struggling, whatever my sister says is what it is.

As he spoke, Xiang Huaiyue had already pulled his hand out of He Chaoye's palm and slowly walked towards Xiang Chenyu, "Go back and change your shoes."

Xiang Chenyu glanced at He Chaoye, then strode after Xiang Huaiyue and asked in a low voice, "Sister, are you having a fight with your brother-in-law?"

Weren’t you just being affectionate with each other just now?

This change is a bit too fast.

Xiang Huaiyue didn't answer, but changed the subject, "Let me ask you, do you know Shen Pianzhi?"

Since Xiang Chenyu knew Wanwan, he must have also met Zhizhi.

"Sister?" Xiang Chenyu's brows softened a little, "I know her."

Xiang Huaiyue's eyes sparkled with stars, and her tone was filled with excitement, "Where is she? Take me to find her!"

"It's too late for my sister to look for Duan Yian and Chi Fei, and I don't know where she is." Xiang Chenyu did not mention Xiao Chenyuan.

Xiang Huaiyue pressed down the corners of his lips, well, he was happy for nothing.

"Sister, how do you know me?" Xiang Chenyu asked in confusion.

He always felt that things were not that simple.

My sister must be hiding something from him.

When Xiang Huaiyue was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of He Chaoye riding a silver saddle and coming at him quickly.

When he was about to pass by Xiang Huaiyue, He Chaoye freed one hand to grab her waist and carried her onto the horse.

All this happened too suddenly. By the time Xiang Huaiyue reacted, the horse had already taken them far away.

Xiang Chenyu was stunned for a moment, then shouted at them, "Brother-in-law, where are you taking my sister?"

"Elope." He Chaoye replied with a raised lip.

These words floated in the air for a few moments, and then were blown past Xiang Chenyu's ears by the cold wind.

Xiang Chenyu: “???”

Can you still play like this?

After a while, their figures gradually blurred in Xiang Chenyu's sight until they disappeared.

The biting cold wind made Xiang Huaiyue's cheeks hurt, and he became a little more sober.

At the right time, He Chaoye pulled the cloak towards Xiang Huaiyue, covering her head as well.

Xiang Huaiyue frowned slightly, ignoring his actions and asked, "He Chaoye, where are you taking me?"

"Duan Yian just had a heavy hemorrhage, and the military doctor used all the precious herbs to stop the bleeding," He Chaoye said, "but he's also deficient in Qi and blood, and urgently needs deer grass, otherwise he won't survive for more than a few days."

Xiang Huaiyue's expression froze, and his mind was filled with thoughts.

Deer living grass has the effect of bringing the dead back to life, and can also strengthen yang and replenish blood. However, the medicine is extremely rare and grows on the top of the Life and Death Valley, making it particularly difficult to obtain.

Not only that, the deer grass only produces one plant a year. If no one is able to pick it during the cold winter, the owner of the valley will pocket it.

Rumor has it that the Valley Master is sinister, cruel, and extremely unfriendly.

Therefore, the chances of taking it from the Valley Master are slim.

But they didn't know whether the deer grass had been picked this year, so they could only give it a try.

Fortunately, their camp was not far from the Valley of Life and Death, and the round trip only took two days.

Thinking back, Xiang Huaiyue raised her eyes to look at him, "Why did you take me to get the deer grass?"

"If I don't take the initiative to take you with me, you will beg me to take you with you when you find out later." He Chaoye looked ahead, and his voice penetrated her ears through the wind and snow.

Xiang Huaiyue looked slightly surprised, "You understand me quite well."

Her expression paused, and she suddenly changed the subject, "Why are you so affectionate with me, Gu Jian, in front of my seventh brother?"

He Chaoye said calmly, "Since I'm your consort, I naturally have to pamper you in front of others."

"So this is a full-on act." Xiang Huaiyue raised the corner of his eye. "Aren't you afraid that if you overdo it, the common people will think we're a perfect match, and the Emperor will think so too, and won't allow us to divorce?"

He Chaoye lowered his eyes for a few moments and pursed his thin lips tightly.

He stopped talking, and Xiang Huaiyue didn't speak either.

The horse took off into the wind, its hooves splashing mud, and its cloak passed through the air, forming a perfect arc.

It was already late at night, and the horses stepped into the dark and endless forest, and they gradually merged with the darkness.

……

In the tent.

Several military doctors have already withdrawn.

Only Chi Feiwan was left alone to guard Duan Yian.

Chi Feiwan stood up by the edge of the couch, opened the curtain, and looked out at the snow falling all over the sky. She closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and said softly, "May the gods favor my husband and grant him a smooth and worry-free life."

In fact, she never believed in Buddhism, but now she still prayed to the gods.

Between working and making progress, she finally chose to burn incense.

Outside the tent, there was a strong wind and snow, and the chill of frost and snow kept penetrating Chi Feiwan's body. She did not move, still looking up at the scene in front of her.

Snowflakes swirled down, and Chi Feiwan stretched out her white jade-like hand to catch a cluster of snowflakes.

The sparse snowflakes lay quietly in Chi Feiwan's palm, and disappeared in less than a moment, leaving only a hint of coolness.

Chi Feiwan's dull almond-shaped eyes were tinged with light, "My wish is about to come true."

The disappearing snowflakes were like a magic wand that would make her wish come true.

She also firmly believed that Duan Yian would be able to get through the difficulties safely.

No matter how difficult the hurdle is, you will overcome it. As long as you don’t give up, there will be a day when the clouds will part and the moon will appear.

At that moment, a familiar figure came into Chi Feiwan's sight.

She dropped her hands to her sides and said, "It's getting late, why don't you rest?"

"I'm here to see Brother Duan." Xiang Chenyu walked over with a complicated expression.

"He is out of danger for the time being." Chi Feiwan turned and entered the tent, sitting down on the edge of the couch.

Xiang Chenyu had heard Mo Fei mention that Duan Yian had just returned from the gates of hell, but without the deer-living grass, the King of Hell would come to take him away again.

My sister and brother-in-law went to the Valley of Life and Death to look for deer grass.

He wants to stay here to take good care of Brother Duan and Sister Fei Wan.

Xiang Chenyu stood beside Chi Feiwan and said in a gentle voice:

"Sister Fei Wan, you should go back to the couch and rest. You are weak. Brother Duan hasn't woken up yet, and you collapsed again."

Chi Feiwan was wearing a scarlet fox fur cloak, which made his skin look even whiter. Upon closer inspection, it looked even more sickly white.

There was a sickly look in her eyes, and her voice was soft and gentle, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

Before this, she spoke with such vigor that she could kill a tiger with one hand.

But now it is so weak that it will fall down like a willow catkin at the slightest breeze.

Xiang Chenyu couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and frowned slightly, and could only threaten:

"Sister Fei Wan, if you insist on not resting, I will have Brother Duan sent away. Then you won't be able to see him even once."

"I'm taking a break." Chi Feiwan couldn't even speak loud enough, and he didn't want to argue with him.

Xiang Chenyu called over Xiang Huaiyue's maid Mei Ying.

Instruct her to take care of Chi Feiwan here.

After Xiang Chenyu left, the master and servant stared at each other in a tense atmosphere.

Chi Feiwan stretched out his hand.

Mei Ying stepped forward and helped her lie down, her tone respectful and gentle, "I'll be waiting on the side. Miss, please tell me if you have anything."

Chi Feiwan nodded slightly, his eyelids felt heavy as if a huge rock was pressing on them, and he closed his eyes uncontrollably.

In a moment, her mind was in chaos and the fragments could not be put together.

Countless voices flashed through my mind.

First came the light and lively female voice.

"Why do I remember that it was you who beat someone up?"

"Even if I hit him, Huanhuan can still throw a few punches back."

Then came a deep and mellow male voice.

"Since Madam Chi has stayed, she is naturally my wife."

"After one month, I will let you go..."

Half asleep and half awake, Chi Feiwan tried desperately to wake up, but fell into another scene.

Duan Yian stood in the cave and waved at her, "Wanwan, come here."

She walked over as if possessed.

What greeted her was an overwhelming net.

Duan Yian's lips curved wickedly as he sneered, "I lied to you, and you believed me? You're such a fool."

Just because he was her husband, she trusted him wholeheartedly.

But unexpectedly, I was betrayed.

Duan Yian threw a fire next to her and stood outside the cave looking at her with a hideous face.

Fear silently spread to his heart. Chi Feiwan was heartbroken and shouted, "No!"

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly sat up from the couch, a thin layer of sweat had already seeped out of her forehead and slowly seeped into her temples.

Mei Ying, who was guarding the tent, immediately stepped forward, wiped the sweat off her face with a handkerchief, and whispered softly, "Miss, did you have a nightmare?"

Chi Feiwan's chest was heaving, his face was pale, his thin lips were trembling slightly, and he was still shrouded in fear.

Mei Ying poured a cup of hot tea and said, "Miss, have a cup of hot tea to calm your nerves."

Chi Feiwan gripped the rim of the cup, took a sip, and slowly suppressed his fear.

Her eyes suddenly fell on Duan Yian's face, who was lying unconscious on the bed, and her brows slightly furrowed.

After one month, will Duan Yian let her go?

When did she make such an agreement with Duan Yian?

Chi Feiwan tried hard to recall, but his head felt like it was pricked by needles, with dense and dull pain.

Mei Ying saw this and whispered, "Miss, I'll go make you a bowl of tranquilizer, okay?"

Chi Feiwan nodded, "Okay."

After Mei Ying left, Chi Feiwan lay back on the couch.

But once she closed her eyes, the nightmare just now was like an inescapable dream, lingering in her mind.

Only after drinking the calming soup did Chi Feiwan fall into a sound sleep.

……

Xiao Chenyuan took Shen Pianzhi through the quiet forest.

The horse's hooves cast sparse shadows on the mottled ground as it sped towards its target.

Shen Pianzhi poked her head out from her cloak and looked at the dark forest around her. Her body tensed up and she asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, when will we arrive?"

Xiao Chenyuan pressed her head back, his voice swept across the night sky and landed accurately in Shen Pianzhi's ear, "You ask this king, and I will ask the ghosts?"

The branches swayed, the cold wind whistled past, and Xiao Chenyuan's words made Shen Pianzhi's heart tremble, and fear gradually spread in her heart.

She closed her mouth and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

But I couldn't help but think to myself.

Xiao Chenyuan just wanted to scare her. With such a dark conscience, he must have eaten a lot of charcoal.

There was a moment of silence around them, and then Xiao Chenyuan's voice rang out faintly, "How did you and Chi Feiwan meet?"

Was he worried that she was frightened, so he deliberately found topics to chat with her to distract her?

But on second thought, Xiao Chenyuan didn't seem so kind.

Shen Pianzhi suppressed her thoughts and spoke softly, "We've known each other since childhood."

Xiao Chenyuan snorted, "You're lying."

Surprise flashed across Shen Pianzhi's eyes. What right did he have to accuse her of lying?

She and Wanwan knew each other as children.

Shen Pianzhi stuck her head out and looked up at him.

Xiao Chenyuan's eyes were like the boundless night, as if they could see through people's hearts. He raised the corners of his lips and said slowly:

"Your father was the Minister of Rites, but he was born out of wedlock and had a rather eccentric personality. I haven't heard that he had close ties with any family."

"Your mother is a daughter of an aristocratic family, but she was born out of wedlock. She has been bullied since she was young, and because of her aloof and arrogant personality, she has no close friends."

"So, when you claim to have grown up with Chi Feiwan, what else could that be but a lie?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chenyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, still with that scrutinizing look.

In shock, Shen Pianzhi's pupils shrank slightly and her heart trembled slightly.

He actually knew everything about her.

And it was said word for word!

Xiao Chenyuan snorted coldly, "What? Do you think I'm easy to fool?"

Should she tell him that she and Wanwan met in modern times?

Shen Pianzhi was in a dilemma.
