30.

Outside a thatched hut in the forest, Bai Ying was sitting on a stone bench, her back tensed, her eyes drooping slightly, lost in thought.

Bailishuang stood at the door not far away, touching the back of her neck uneasily, looking at Baiying for a while, and looking inside the house for a while.

I don't know how long this silent and awkward atmosphere lasted, until an old man in the room slowly rolled up his sleeves and came out.

Seeing the calm expression on the old man's face, Baili Shuang breathed a sigh of relief and called softly; "Your Majesty—"

Baiying got up without even needing Bailishuang to yell, but because she got up too fast, her eyes went dark, her feet staggered, and she almost fell back to her seat.

Bai Ying supported the stone table with one hand, before she could stand still, she turned to look at the old man.

Bailishuang asked: "Mr. Du, how is my sister...how?"

"It's okay. Just go back and take a good rest for a while."

Mr. Du slowly walked up to Bai Ying with a look of regret.

"I said you young people really don't think about the consequences! I thought Jing Mo was a prudent child, but I didn't expect him to be so reckless! Fortunately, it was delivered in time, otherwise...cough——"

"You said so."

Bai Ying lowered her eyebrows, obediently admitting her mistake, and took a step forward to make room for Mr. Du.

"You rest first. I'll go see her."

"Stop!" Mr. Du was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, pointed to the stool next to him, and said to Baili Shuang, "Xiao Shuang, go and look at your sister, and call me when she wakes up. As for you - wise and powerful Your Majesty, please sit down here for me! I really think that I am made of stone, and it is wounded and poisonous, and everyone will die, right!"

Bai Ying hesitated for a moment, but still took a step back, her figure was still a little unstable when she sat down.

Seeing that His Majesty sat down obediently and stretched out his wrist to feel Mr. Du's pulse, Baili Shuang shrunk his neck, took the opportunity and ran into the room quickly, dragged a stool in the room and sat down.

Jing Mo was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his face pale and unconscious.Baili Shuang couldn't help reaching out to check her breath.

Baili Shuang breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that her sister had just passed out.

In Bailishuang's memory, his sister has always been calm, no matter what happens, she can solve it with a smile.

Over time, just looking at her sitting in one place, there is a sense of certainty that victory is at hand, and people even subconsciously ignore her weak constitution.

Even Bailishuang, the younger brother, saw Jingmo's vulnerable side very few times.

The most serious one was just a few years between the end of the war and the present, when Jing Mo was injured due to overdraft and stayed here to recuperate.

Occasionally, Bailishuang sneaked in to visit Jing Mo. Although the latter was so weak that he could only sit by the window at most, and could not bear the wind, at least his posture was always calm and calm.

Sometimes Baili Shuang couldn't help but suspect that his sister was some kind of immortal descending to earth, or some kind of goblin transformation. Although she was not very old next year, she seemed to be invulnerable.

However, at this moment, the always indestructible person was lying on this recuperating bed again, sleeping as if he had died.If it is not brought back in time, then it will only be at the mercy of others.

If her past opponents knew about it, they would probably be very happy——

It may also be to suspect whether it is her trick again.

Baili Shuang thought for a while, and felt that the hesitant and terrified expressions of those people should be funny, but at this moment he couldn't laugh at all.

Why on earth did it become like this?

Baili Shuang didn't understand, his sister was always rational, how could she suddenly go crazy because of a person, she didn't even want her life, but wanted to die with that person in the most tragic way.

why?What secrets does that person have, and what deep hatred between them is worth such a result?

As soon as Baili Shuang realized Jing Mo's intentional trick to push him away, she immediately rushed back, but she only saw Jing Mo being carried out by Bai Ying, and she had completely passed out by then.

Bai Ying didn't delay at all, and didn't even bother to ask people to go back to investigate the scene of the accident, so she directly brought Jing Mo to Mr. Du, begging Mr. Du to save Jing Mo.

Baili Shuang also followed directly, and until now she has no time to pay attention to other things.

Mr. Du was known as a miracle doctor when he was young. Later, when he became middle-aged and tired of the gossip and disputes in the world, he went to the mountains to hide from the world.

Later, Jingmo was weak when she was young, and it took a lot of twists and turns for Baili's family to send her to the mountain for recuperation. Later, Mr. Du saw that Jingmo was talented and interested in medicine, so he accepted her as his apprentice.

Jingmo's ability to cure poisons is inherited from Mr. Du, and it is not particularly difficult for Mr. Du to detoxify the poison she made herself.

Fortunately, it came in time, and he swallowed the detoxification pill first, otherwise Mr. Du might be at a loss what to do with a dead body.

Thinking of this incident, Baili Shuang was afraid for a while.

Later, when she gradually calmed down, Baili Shuang thought of Bai Ying who was waiting outside——

If Jing Mo couldn't wake up, maybe Bai Ying would go crazy too.

Thinking of this, Bailishuang broke out in cold sweat again.

Fortunately, fortunately.

"Sister, you're really... oh, you've screwed me up..." Bailishuang couldn't help sighing, and murmured, "Please wake up early, don't get overwhelmed..."

……

After hearing the news of Jingmo's serious injury, the fifth princess made a decisive decision and sent the people she had prepared long ago into Qiongzhi Kingdom to investigate.

As for Jingmo and Baiying, the fifth princess asked someone to tell them to let them recover from their injuries.

Long before Jing Mo left, she had already reminded the fifth princess and made some arrangements.

The fifth princess acted resolutely, as soon as she heard that something happened to Jingmo, she immediately started to act.

The cause and effect of the matter quickly surfaced, but the fifth princess rarely hesitated.

Because this matter has something to do with the white scorpion.

Bai Po is the nominal second brother of Bai Ying and the fifth princess, but this second brother has always been difficult to deal with Bai Ying. When he was a child, he even wanted to strangle her to death, which directly caused Bai Ying to have a psychological shadow. Words jumped out.

The fifth princess has been close to Bai Ying since she was a child, no matter how big or small she is, she always stands by her third sister's side - of course, running away from home is another matter.

So it was only natural that the fifth princess was not close to this second brother, and she didn't even have a good impression.

If only considering her and Bai Ying's standpoint, the fifth princess would wish to let her second elder brother down to ashes to relieve her anger - if he hadn't passed away early, the fifth princess would not be sure if she would carry it out in such a secret way.

Of course, the facts have now proved that the so-called "death at an early age" is nothing more than a deception.

But the problem now is that the fifth princess has to consider what their parents think.

Since Bai Shu was sent back, the fifth princess has learned the reason why their parents have traveled all over the world these years.

They—especially their father—had always believed that Bai Po was not dead,

Their father has always felt guilty towards Bai Po, but he also cared about the grievances between Bai Ying and Bai Po, but he didn't dare to tell his two legitimate daughters publicly.

But in fact, they have been traveling all these years just to find Bai Po.

As for finding it, so what?

Then it's not within the scope of their father's consideration, or maybe he subconsciously doesn't want to think about it.

——It is no wonder that when he was in power, there were quite a few criticisms from inside and outside the government and the opposition that he was indecisive.

The fifth princess felt so emotional in her heart, but she couldn't put this rebellious thought on the surface.He couldn't even make a decision on the second brother's resurrection from the dead alone.

Their father is a man of affection, which may be a good thing for ordinary people, but sometimes it is troublesome if it is too much.

The fifth princess hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to suppress the news of this matter, and just acted as an unknown agent, and ordered someone to go to Qiongzhi to test the pressure.

As for how the Lord Qiongzhi trembled, that was no longer within the scope of the fifth princess' consideration.

Who told Jingmo that the place where the accident occurred was within the border of Qiongzhi Kingdom, it is so unreasonable to vent his anger, not to mention that Qiongzhi Kingdom is not completely without responsibility——

If it weren't for that Qin Xiang insisted on asking his granddaughter to go back, sister Huang wouldn't have had the opportunity to follow the past.

If Miss Huang hadn't gone to Qiongzhi, she wouldn't have bumped into Bai Ke, and of course Miss Jingmo wouldn't have followed her.

If Miss Jingmo didn't go, naturally there would be no troubles like being injured later.

It seems that the Qin family is the culprit? !

When the fifth princess thought about it, she became even angrier. She happened to have nothing to worry about, so she simply turned the fire around and targeted Qiongzhi Qin's family.

King Qiongzhi was happy to hear about this. The Qin family had been officials for several dynasties and had considerable influence. Sometimes even his immediate superior was ignored, which made King Qiongzhi feel dissatisfied long ago.

However, Qiongzhi's generation of kings did not have any outstanding abilities, and they hated the Qin family but had no choice but to turn a blind eye to their various arrogant behaviors.

At present, Baibu is willing to take action to rectify the Qin family, and King Qiongzhi can't wait to celebrate with a three-day feast.

Of course, it would be nice if he could forget about himself as a little country lord by the way.

So during this period of time, King Qiongzhi has been in a sad state of pain and happiness.

……

The day Jing Mo woke up was a rare sunny day.

The sun shines through the cracks in the half-opened windows, scattering the brilliance all over the place, dispelling the chill of late autumn.

After waking up after a long sleep, the brain is not very clear, and the perception is also a bit dull. It took Jing Mo a while to realize that he was lying on the bed.

And lying next to her was Bai Ying.

Until he reached out to touch Bai Ying's face, Jing Mo thought he was dreaming.

Baiying's eyes were closed, as if she had fallen asleep, her eyes were black and blue, even in deep sleep she frowned, unable to hide her fatigue and sorrow.

One of her arms was around Jing Mo's waist, she didn't put any force on it, just draped it vaguely, as if she was worried that the person in her arms would leave suddenly, and the other hand was placed on the back of her neck, so that she could sleep comfortably a little.

Jingmo's rare brain has been in chaos for a long time.

Where are you now?is she still aliveWhy is Ah Ying here?Will she be angry?How should I explain myself?What happened to the white scorpion?is he dead

—[-]% are not.

If Bai Po really died so easily, then she wouldn't have to think about how to kill him again now.

A lot of chaotic thoughts flashed through Jing Mo's mind, until her hand unconsciously touched Bai Ying's cheek, and then was grabbed by a hand stretched out from the side.

Bai Ying opened her eyes, stared at Jing Mo silently, exerted seven to eight parts of her hands unconsciously, as if to confirm whether the person in front of her really existed.

Jing Mo felt a little pain, and frowned slightly, but remained silent, letting Bai Ying hold it.

It wasn't until Bai Ying noticed Jing Mo's expression that she woke up and quickly let go of her hand, but then she reached out and grabbed Jing Mo's wrist again.

This time, I didn't use any more force, just held her hand weakly, using my own body temperature to warm her hand.

Jing Mo's body temperature was very cold, even if the quilt became warm because of the extra person, it was difficult to warm her whole body.

"Sorry." Bai Ying's voice was a little hoarse when she spoke, and she didn't know how long she had endured, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"

While speaking, Bai Ying stroked Jing Mo's wrist, causing a burst of heat on the cold skin.

Soon Jingmo's ears became hot, and some blood finally appeared on his face.

"No. I'm a little weak. It shouldn't be a serious problem." Jing Mo shook his dull head, and it took him a while to realize the situation, "Is this... at Master's place?"

"Yeah." Baiying responded, then lifted half of the quilt, and was about to get out of bed, "I'll go find him."

Jing Mo reached out and grabbed her without thinking.

Bai Ying turned around in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Jing Mo was also a little dazed, as if she hadn't expected her instinctive physical reaction, she was silent for a moment, then turned her head slightly, and found a reason.

"No need." Jing Mo said softly, "I'm fine."

But at this moment, Jing Mo's dazed expression didn't look like he was completely fine.

"What's the matter?" Bai Ying sat back on the bed, held Jing Mo's shoulders, looked into her eyes, and asked again, "Afraid?"

Bai Ying could feel her body trembling slightly.

Jing Mo was silent for a while, then grabbed the corner of Baiying's clothes, and showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and she said softly, "I'm afraid you will disappear after you leave."

She recalled countless midnight dreams, all about Bai Po and Bai Ying, and Bai Ying being killed by Bai Po over and over again. She could only watch and do nothing.

Because such dreams are too long and too real, often she can't distinguish between dreams and reality after waking up.

Is Bai Ying really still alive?Did she really change the established tragic ending?Is everything that exists in front of you now real?

The panic that had been suppressed because of the secret revealed, rushed out again when seeing Bai Ke.

Jing Mo began to understand that those fears always existed, and she might not be able to get rid of this nightmare for the rest of her life.

Unless Bai Ying actually appeared in front of her and touched her with real warmth.

"Okay." Bai Ying stopped and hugged Jing Mo, "I won't leave."

Outside the door, Mr. Du was coming in with a medicine bowl. Seeing the scene of the two embracing each other at the door, he sighed softly, and quietly turned back with the medicine bowl.

……

Bailishuang had already gone back after confirming that Jingmo was safe and sound. He was greatly irritated by what happened to Jingmo, so he led people out all day after receiving the investigation task.

Shang Lu, who ran back after him, dragged Qin Gentiana, and volunteered to join the investigation team.

The fifth princess had already heard about Gentiana Qin, but she didn't care about it right now, so she turned a blind eye and sent them back to Qiongzhi Kingdom to investigate.

So besides the reclusive master Mr. Du on the mountain, only Baiying accompanied Jingmo Suiyuui to recuperate in isolation.

Originally, Jingmo was still surprised that the fifth princess let her go so easily this time, but after a brief understanding of what happened that day, she belatedly recalled that Baiying was also injured and poisoned.

Fortunately, Baiying came and went in a hurry at that time, so she didn't have too long contact with the poison in that room, and the sequelae were not very serious.

As for Jingmo, the poison was cured, but it still had a bad effect on the foundation.

She was originally weak, and she only improved a little after two years of recuperation, but she was suddenly poisoned, as if she had been given a strong dose of medicine, and her body couldn't bear it at all.

It is really a pity to be able to recover a bad life.

This is what Mr. Du said to her when he woke up in Jingmo, his expression and tone were full of anger.

Jing Mo could only laugh along with him, repeatedly saying his faults.

But if you want her to admit her mistake and promise not to do it again next time, she just smiles and doesn't answer.

After mumbling about it a few times, Mr. Du turned around angrily and left, saying that he would never ignore her again, but at night he turned around and boiled the medicine himself for her and Baiying to send over.

But Mr. Du is not helpless, since it doesn't make sense to Jingmo, the old man considers a devious route, and always goes to Baiying for nothing, and talks about Jingmo's physical condition to a serious degree.

It's all about what happens if you're one step too late, or if you're unlucky.

Bai Ying was reticent, and she only responded to Mr. Du's words with ah and ah, but seeing her increasingly gloomy eyes, Mr. Du knew that she had listened.

Hmph, little girl, I can't cure you, is there anyone else who can cure you?

Mr. Du consciously handed over the important task of teaching Jingmo to learn to cherish himself. In addition, the health of the two patients has almost recovered, and his mood gradually improved. The tragic situation that the apprentice may face is forgotten.

Two good friends who grew up together, even if one gets angry, what serious consequences can there be?

Mr. Du thought so, but he wasn't worried at all.

Even if it made Jing Mo suffer, it would just make her remember this lesson, so that she would not have to make fun of her own life in the future.

So after Mr. Du completely let go, one afternoon when he went out to collect herbs, the long-standing conversation between Bai Ying and Jing Mo finally broke out.

Bai Ying waved back the servants guarding the door, closed the door, leaving only one window, and sat opposite Jingmo holding the letter from Bailishuang.

Jing Mo was still sitting on the bed, half lying down, covered with the quilt, almost wrapped his whole body in it.

What Baili Shuang said in the letter was the result of the recent investigation. There were indeed signs of Baikun's activities in Qiongzhi Kingdom, but the opponent was very cunning and managed to escape after catching his tail several times. There is no new news yet.

However, according to the activities of Bai Ke's subordinates, they are very likely to be preparing to leave Qiongzhi Kingdom.

Under Shang Lu and Gentiana Qin's erroneous collision, they found two strongholds and arrested several people, who are under interrogation.

"Let's talk about it when we have news."

Bai Ying picked the key points and slowly recounted it to Jing Mo.The latter stared at the letter in her hand, didn't dislike her fragmentary words, and easily understood the meaning of her words.

"I deliberately asked Ah Shuang to go in another direction." Jing Mo whispered, "Don't blame him. It's all my fault."

"I don't blame him." Bai Ying folded the letter paper and put it aside, then looked up at Jingmo and asked, "Why?"

Why do you want to kill Bai Ke alone?Why die with him in this way?Why, want to die?

Jing Mo knew what Bai Ying wanted to ask, but she would rather not know anything.

Because she herself couldn't understand her crazy actions.

It was as if there was another person living in her body, as long as Bai Ying was not involved, the calm and cold military adviser would always appear.

But once Bai Ying and Bai Po were involved, the string called reason in her mind was completely broken.

The first time he saw the name "Bai Po", all Jing Mo thought was that he would be dragged to hell with him if he died, but he couldn't think of anything else about how to arrange it and how to be rational.

Except for doing it herself, Jing Mo can't trust anyone or any plan. Only when Bai Po dies in her hands can she be completely at ease.

But how could she kill Bai Ke?No matter how close she is to Bai Ying, she is only the daughter of a courtier after all, while Bai Po is the son of the royal family.Yu Li, she is a subject, not to kill the king's son.

Even if Baiying doesn't blame her, but she killed Jingmo's second brother, if the world knows about it, Baiying will be charged with connivance again.

Even though she knew that Bai Ying might not care at all, and those words didn't matter to her status, Jing Mo stubbornly didn't want to see Bai Ying bear any stigma for herself.

So, we might as well die together.

It doesn't matter if you are labeled as a traitor by then.

At that time, Jing Mo thought so, so she also implemented it.

But maybe she is still afraid of death deep in her heart, and still leaves a way out for herself and Bai Ke.

So Bai Ying had time to save her, and Bai Po didn't die there.

"You said it. 'Yes'." Bai Ying held Jingmo's face in her hands, and said seriously and stubbornly, "I take it seriously. I can't ignore it."

Jing Mo remembered the letter Bai Ying sent her to spend the rest of her life together, and her reply——

It is "willing".

Right in front of her, this person had just finished talking with her, and she had just responded with the same heart, but she suddenly wanted to die without hesitation.

Irony?

Which side should be more painful and desperate?

However, who knows if the letter that they spent the rest of their lives together played a role.

So the beautiful and dreamy reality and future are in front of her, how can she bear to let go?

I couldn't bear it, so in the end I still wanted to survive, and in the end I started to fear death.

"...I remember. So I turned around and came back, and I asked Ah Shuang to find you. You also held me back and pulled me back..."

Jing Mo stretched out his hand to hold Bai Ying's hand, looked up at her, tears fell like beads from a broken thread, and the temperature hitting her hand warmed her cold hand.

"...I have to admit, it wasn't until then that I started to be afraid, afraid of dying, afraid of seeing you die, afraid of me dying, afraid of never seeing you again..."

This was the first time Bai Ying saw Jing Mo cry, she shed tears silently, her eyes also filled with panic and fear, slowly the shadow of the person in front of her was reflected in her eyes.

So Bai Ying couldn't say any more accusations.

"Don't leave me behind."

Bai Ying reached out to wipe away the tears on Jing Mo's cheek, raised her chin with one hand, and kissed her in this posture.

"Stay with me. Until I die."
