Bird Reimu Dance · Returning Night

Dark night, strong wind.

Si Yan gripped the reins with dark eyes, and tightly wrapped the woman in his arms.

Murong Ying felt a little pain, but she only frowned briefly, and didn't say anything.

He rode his horse up to her Chonghua Palace, and carried her down, but she broke free without showing any traces, and said lightly, "It's late at night, the emperor doesn't need to send you off anymore, please go back."

He was silent for a moment, and asked in a hoarse voice, "You don't have anything to explain to me?"

"What does the emperor want to hear from me?" Murong Ying asked expressionlessly.

He has always been irritable, seeing her so careless, his heart is even more furious.He couldn't help but stepped forward to hold her slender wrist firmly, and stared at her with a dark look, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you with that kid again? You...you have been missing for a whole day ...you...where did you all go? What did you do?"

She stared silently into his eyes.

She had thought that at least one group of the assassins she met in Prince Xiang's mansion and the assassins who imprisoned them were sent by him.

"Speak!" he growled.

"We were assassinated." Enduring the pain, she asked slowly, "Dare to ask, how did the emperor come to the western suburbs to look for us?"

When he heard the word 'assassination', his heart skipped a beat, and when he heard the words behind her, his heart immediately sank.Why couldn't he hear the meaning of her words, lowered his voice, and said angrily, "Are you doubting me?"

"Don't dare." She lowered her eyebrows and replied in a low voice.

He sneered and stared at her, wishing he could burn a hole in her body.Just when he thought he would be unable to control his anger and explode at her, he suppressed it.Taking a deep breath, he turned his eyes to the slanting moon in the sky, and said coldly, "You should know how I treat you. If you think that I want to take King Rui's life, why send someone to assassinate you? March The appointment is imminent, that kid hangs out with you all day long, maybe Lingmei's eyesight has no clue? At that time, I only need to open my mouth, and I can kill her openly like an ant. Why bother so much?"

After hearing what he said, Murong Ying couldn't help biting her lips.

"What? Can't bear to kill her?" He saw her subtle action in his eyes.

"No." She turned her face away and said calmly, "This is between you and has nothing to do with me."

He stared at her burningly, wishing to see her heart.

After a long time, his cold voice sounded slowly, "Tell me, if that kid finds out, it's really you..."

"Your Majesty!" She raised her eyes abruptly and interrupted hastily, "Enough!"

"I just want to remind you, who are you in the same category as?" He let go of her wrist, then stroked her cold cheek, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't let me see you together again, You don't want everyone to know your secret? Even if you are a princess, murdering another princess is still a serious crime."

She stared at him so hard that her nails almost dug into her skin.After a long time, she turned her face away to avoid his palm, "I see. Please come back, Your Majesty. The Queen Mother should also know that we are back. You shouldn't stay with me for too long."

He was silent for a moment, then withdrew his palm, turned around and left slowly.

After walking two steps, he paused, turned around suddenly, rushed forward and hugged her tightly.

"Sister Huang..." he called her bitterly, hoarsely, "I hope you can understand, I'm not trying to threaten you... I'm just... just very afraid that you will be like the Queen Mother... don't Leave me...Only I can protect you...Only I understand you best...Can you understand?"

"I understand." She drooped her long eyelashes, and said softly and far away, "Your Majesty, please go back first, it's really too late."

After hearing her answer, he let go of her and suppressed his urge to stay, "Yeah, you are tired too, take a rest. I'm leaving."

She nodded quietly.

Just as he turned around, his footsteps faltered again, and he turned sideways and said, "By the way, as for why I happened to appear in the western suburbs, it was because I was chasing a man in black all the way, and it was this man who led us here Only in the western suburbs can we find you."

He took out a small piece of incomplete silver mask from his sleeve, and handed it to her, "This is when Nangong Jue was fighting this person, another guard threw a hidden weapon, but it's a pity that he didn't see this person's face clearly and let him He escaped. But don't worry, I will definitely find out the origin of those black-clothed assassins."

================================================== ==================

She supported the tree trunk and covered her lips tightly with her sleeve.

It wasn't until he saw that the flames in the forest were fading away that he slowly let go of his lips. After a while, he still bent down and spit out a big mouthful of blood with a 'wow' sound.

The forehead was also broken with a hidden weapon, and blood was oozing, and she didn't bother to wipe it off.

She coughed in pain, feeling like she was about to cough up all her internal organs.

After a long time, she slowly straightened up, and then a cold sword was placed on her neck from behind her.

"Your skills have regressed a lot." The woman's voice sounded coldly in the quiet night.

"Sister-in-law." She didn't turn around, her voice was gentle and calm, "Don't come here to be safe?"

"It's been 15 years, and we finally meet again, Murong Yan." The woman's voice trembled with sharpness.

"Sister-in-law..." She wanted to turn her head, but immediately there was a slight pain in her neck, which made her unable to move.

"Thanks to you, Mu'er and I have been reluctant to die all these years, and have always missed you."

"Sister-in-law...Xiao Mu'er's temperament is very similar to Brother Lin.. She is a good boy..."

"Shut up! Why do you still have the face to mention him?" She blushed, wishing she could chop off Murong Yan's head with a sword, "If it wasn't for you...if it wasn't for you..."

She choked up, unable to speak.She had imagined countless times that if Lin Quan hadn't died, then she and Mu'er would be the happiest mother and daughter in the whole world.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Lin died to save me. It's only right for you to hate me, and it's only right for you to want to kill me for revenge." She paused and sighed, "I'm really sorry, I should have come to see you earlier, but in In this world...I still have a lot of unfinished business...so sister-in-law...can you please give me a little more time?"

"Oh, did I hear you right? Are you begging for mercy from a humble little girl like me? Huh? Your Majesty Emperor Ling?" Hu sneered, "There are still many unfinished business, and you are reluctant to die? Then you have Have you ever thought that when Ah Quan died, there were many unfinished business?!"

"Sister-in-law... I shouldn't expect too much, but I still beg you to let me do one last thing... let me heal Princess Chang'an's eyes." Murong Yan begged in a low voice, "After... If you want to kill or scrape, it's up to you."

"Princess Chang'an? Is it you and the daughter of Empress Leng?" Hu frowned in disgust, "You are really shameless! If you hadn't ordered Ah Quan to escort that woman back then, how could he have gotten into trouble?" Enter the muddy waters of your Murong's house! You clearly know that he is just a doctor with no power to restrain a chicken, why do you still do this? Murong Yan, how many people did you kill because of that woman?! Today I will kill first You, enter the palace again and kill that woman!"

Hu's eyes turned hard, and just as his subordinates were about to exert their strength, they heard several 'swish' sounds coming from the side.

She hurriedly opened the oncoming stone with her horizontal sword, and a woman in red stabbed at her with her sword.

The two fought against each other for several rounds very quickly, and neither showed mercy.

"Xiao Ti! Stop hitting!"

At the moment when the two thrust their swords towards each other with all their strength, Murongyan grabbed a gap, walked between them, threw stones in the air and touched their acupoints.

"Murongyan! Are you crazy? Why do you even order me?!" Chu Xiati was so anxious that she was about to cry, she cursed, "Hurry up and untie me, let me kill her!"

"Xiao Ti, that's enough." Murong Yan lowered her voice, "I killed her husband first, if you hurt her life again, what face do I have to live?"

"Then have you ever thought about how I would live if she killed my husband?" Chu Xiati almost bit her lips, "Murongyan, I heard what you just said, you have a lot to do Things... But I'm the only one who didn't think about it, did she?"

"Xiao Ti..." Hearing these words, she felt like a knife was twisting in her heart.

In this life, she has been sorry to many people, and she is the one who is most sorry.

She hugged her horizontally, met Hu's fierce eyes, and said guiltily, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry...but I really need a little more time..." After she finished speaking, she turned to leave, but Hu's voice came from behind her. Shi laughed a little maniacally, "It's really pitiful...a woman who likes you...doomed to suffer the same pain as me..."

Murong Yan's footsteps faltered, but she didn't turn her head, she still quickly moved away.

She ran to a river with her in her arms, and finally couldn't bear it any longer. She hurriedly put Chu Xiati on a big rock, and ran to the river to splash her face with water.

She did this because she didn't want Chu Xiati to see the blood oozing from her lips.

Yes, she knew that she was already terminally ill, and forcibly practicing exercises would even damage her meridians and lungs.

Chu Xiati was anxious and shouted, "Wood! What's wrong with you?! Untie me!"

But at this moment, she knew that she didn't even have the strength to untie the acupuncture points on her body, so she forced a smile and shook her head, "I'm fine, I'm just a little sleepy, so I won't untie you for now, lest you have a violent family relationship later." husband."

"You bastard!"

She walked slowly to her side, leaned against the boulder with her side by side, stretched out her arms and hugged her with difficulty, and said softly, "Look at you, you've started cursing before you untie it... If you untie it... I I still have to walk around when I can't eat..."

Chu Xiati stared at her pale side face, bit her lower lip, and finally calmed down.

Murong Yan felt very tired and unconsciously closed her eyes.

After a while, I heard Chu Xiati shout tremblingly, "Wood..."

Murong Yan slowly opened her eyes, "Huh?"

"I... just wanted to call you down." She was afraid, afraid that she would never wake up again.

Hu's last words stuck in her heart like a poisonous thorn, lingering, and quickly spread through her blood.

How could Murongyan not understand Chu Xiati's worry, sighed in her heart for a lifetime, stretched out her arms to hug her even tighter, kissed her forehead, "Xiaoti...I'm sorry..."

"Don't say sorry to me...I said it long ago...don't say this to me...don't do anything sorry to me..."

Murong Yan was silent for a long time before she called out, "Xiao Ti..."

She hesitated to speak, paused, and called again, "Xiao Ti."

Obviously there are many things to say in my heart, but for some reason, I just can't say a word.

How should she tell her that she was really sorry for her, this kind of strong guilt tormented her, and even made her feel worse than death when she thought about it.

"Ok?"

"It's okay, I just wanted to call you." Murong Yan forced a smile, with a nasal tone.

"Wood.. I beg you.. Take me out of Yanjing as soon as possible..." After a long time, she begged in her arms, "You have to promise me, after seeing that little girl's eyes... we will leave , okay?"

Murong Yan was silent for a long time, but still nodded heavily.

Chu Xiati slowly closed her eyes, "Then I believe you."

Both of them stopped talking and fell silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Murongyan snored lightly, and Chu Xiati was able to raise her arms.

She slowly opened her eyes, and stretched her finger across Murongyan's tired eyes.

"I really envy her."
