After the banquet, Zhan Yingshao thought about the hardships he had suffered at Chu Shou's place, so he deliberately stayed for a while, and asked Wei Qingxuan to take care of him.

"Brother Wei, you are not often in the capital, and you are not very familiar with it. Princess Ruchuan is notoriously tricky, perverse and stubborn, and she is still restrained a lot in this way...but you can rest assured that the princess is impermanent but has a degree. , generally there will be no major problems..."

As he spoke, he blamed again:

"You too, I know you are a clean and upright person, but you have investigated the copper mine case, why did you ask the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate? Not to mention that they were specially sent by His Majesty, you, you, you still give the censor to him." It’s closed, so I don’t blame them for making things difficult for you. Tomorrow, you will accompany them on a good walk, and you must not be greedy for merit, and you will never get good results from the Metropolitan Procuratorate!”

"Just remember what I said, there must be no big problem."

Wei Qingxuan smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, nodded lightly, cupped his hands in obeisance, but replied indifferently: "Thank you, Mr. Zhan, for your guidance."

Chu Shou seemed to have drunk too much, and walked staggeringly under the support of Sanqian, followed by Song Yanqing, walking along her footsteps with his hands behind his back.

Ah Shui trotted all the way from behind, saluted Song Yanqing slightly, and then hurried forward to put on a thick cloak for Chu Shou, helped Chu Shou with Sanqian, and continued walking.

Going out the door and turning right again, the night gradually disappeared the figures of several people, the bamboo shadows were graceful, the young man who led the way in front saw the road was dark, so he lit the night light, Sanqian took the light, and said: "Okay , let's go."

The young man handed over the lamp, bowed in salute, turned and walked back.

Chu Shou withdrew his hand that was tightly grasping Ah Shui's arm, wrapped his cloak tightly, and gradually straightened his back.

As she walked, Ah Shui couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Miss' acting skills are really vivid, and she's becoming more and more proficient."

Chu Shou was speechless, blinked at her, and only laughed lightly, the lights and moonlight intersected, and it looked extraordinarily gentle between his eyebrows and eyes.

Sanqian stabbed Ah Shui in the back and gave her winks, Ah Shui immediately understood, and pulled Sanqian to Song Yanqing.

Three thousand night lights were quickly stuffed into the hands of Song Yanqing, who was following behind, "Master Xiao Song! The two of us suddenly remembered that the lady's... veil, yes, the veil fell on the mat. Go get it!"

Before the two could speak, they passed Song Yanqing and ran away.

He was stunned for a moment, clenched the handle of the lantern, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, looked up at the person at the end of the corridor, and couldn't help but raise his lips into a smile.

Chu Shou had already turned around, and just stood there obediently, smiling crescent-shaped eyes, round mouth corners, and picturesque eyebrows and eyes.

Song Yanqing held the dimly lit lantern and walked towards Chu Shou, and the two walked slowly side by side.

The black gauze and green gauze caress each other intimately with the two people's steps, as if being pulled by the moonlight, they seem to touch each other, the light, color and shadow are full of faint feelings, floating between the two.

After a long silence, Song Yanqing spoke first, with a cold voice, and said lightly: "Before at Fodu Temple, I kowtowed three times, set up three sticks of incense, and made three vows to the Buddha."

After hearing this, Chu Shou turned to look at him, grabbed his sleeve robe with his left hand, blinked and asked, "Do you want to tell me? It won't work."

Song Yanqing lowered his eyes and let out a low laugh, and unconsciously tightened his hands, "The Buddha never blesses me... It doesn't matter if I tell you."

Chu Shou drooped his hands along the sleeves, his face was apologetic, and his eyes dimmed a bit.

Song Yanqing raised his head slightly, and the wind passing through the bamboo forest caressed his cheeks, blowing away a little of the smell of alcohol. He took a deep breath, and then muttered: "The first wish is to hope that all hardships will come to an end, since childhood... Because of my suffering, my parents and elder brothers insisted on a good death. At that time, I always looked forward to the day when the witch clan envoy would come to find me in person. After I died, the villain would not want to kill again. peaceful."

"It's a pity that my parents and elder brothers all died protecting me. I didn't have to wait until the day I died first, and I was destined to involve others in my life. Uncle Mu on the 48th floor took over the burden of my parents. After learning that he had some friendship with the Wu Clan After that, I asked him to send me there..."

"Qingqing, I lied to you. You asked me on the first night, why did you come to Hanyuan? I said it was because the 48th floor was dying and I didn't want to cause trouble with Uncle Mu, but in fact... my parents and elder brother left me, I was devastated at that time, and all I wanted was to die."

"But my life was bought by them, so I can't control it for a long time, so I often ask you, when will the envoy of the Wu Clan be born to complete the ceremony to welcome and send off the heavenly officials? You often say that you don't know...", As he spoke, he lowered his head and smiled, and continued: "I don't know if you really don't know, or if you don't know, there are some things you never want to tell me, but you don't know that your eyes can speak, and I just happen to , can hear some."

"Later, when you and I got to know each other better, I started to worry again. I was afraid that you would really feed me blood and seal my throat, but... it seems that it's okay if it's you, so I didn't worry about this matter for a long time, but Afraid that you would struggle in your heart, I deliberately pretended to be disgusted and snubbed you a few times."

"All hardships are rewarding. I think it has been realized when I met you when I was sent to Hanyuan for refuge that year. There is another concern in the world, and there is hope for living."

Chu Shou lowered her eyes and bit her lips silently. She remembered that when she first saw him, he was white and clean but skinny. When he stood up from behind Uncle Mu, she was frightened by his eyes at the first glance. , as dull as stagnant water, no matter how much she teased him, there was no wave in him.

In the first two days of living together in Hanyuan, he refused to say a word. Later, she regarded him as her patient and swore to him that she would definitely raise him white and fat, so he was willing to talk shallowly. Laughed.

She knew from the very beginning that he was a heavenly official, and she also knew that the custom of the Wu clan to welcome and send off the heavenly officials was just to cover up the killing of life under the guise of an oracle. She didn't care at first, until everyone named the envoy of the Wu clan , and handed this "Infinite Glory" to her personally, she panicked.

Azu had only one daughter, and her daughter died early. Even though Chu Shou belonged to a niece, it was inherited by blood, so the task of welcoming and sending off the heavenly officials fell to her.

At that time, on the way back to Hanyuan, she thought of a hundred ways to rescue the heavenly officials, and even went to the place where the Goddess was enshrined, and knelt down devoutly:
"Goddess, for the sake of my sincerity to you, please leave him in this world to accompany me, or you can pity me, I have no father, no mother, no brothers and sisters, there are two This old man is waiting for me to die in old age. He is very kind to me. It is rare to meet in this world. As long as you keep him, I will find you the best golden statue. The incense burns and the lamp never goes out..."

With such an uneasy heart, Chu Shou and Song Yanqing continued to live day after day, until one day Youbei received news from the Younan tribe that her concubine and little aunt in the capital, a celestial maiden of the witch clan, had a relationship with Song Yanqing. Chu Shou’s mother’s experience is similar. In her cognition, something impossible happened. The witch clan’s celestial daughter was not selected according to the oracle, but... to find out if she has the "cannot live to eighteen years" that the ancestors said on her body. "Curse, from this, Fang is called a goddess.

Generally, when the celestial girl is about to reach the eighteenth day, she will have a serious illness, and there is no cure for it, and it will last until the day of the eighteenth birthday, when she dies.

The patriarch of Younan's patriarch, Grandpa, came to find Azu for comparison, to see if the symptoms of the imperial concubine's concubine were consistent with that of Chu Shou's mother, and as expected, it was indeed so.

It was also because of this that she remembered what her ancestors wrote on the page of Tianguan's biography-"Tianguan's painstaking efforts can lead to a longer life" means, so this disease is not without medicine .

She was so scared to death at that time, if they wanted to drag Song Yanqing into a life-and-death drain in order to save the heavenly girl... what should I do?
Fortunately, Azu didn't have to reveal anything, but she also knew who the villain who hunted and killed the Song family all this time was the noble concubine. All his misfortunes came from the Wu clan, and she, As a member of thousands of people, I also watched with cold eyes for many years.

There is a sentence she has always wanted to say, and it weighs heavily on her heart. Whenever Song Yanqing wants to tell her something about the past, she always feels that she is overwhelmed by the huge rock in her heart. Guilt regretted for the Wu Clan for many years, so he wanted to bring him all the good things in this world.

She has always been a vested interest. She not only drained the last blood of her cursed mother who is also a heavenly daughter, but also drove her father who missed his wife crazy. They all felt that they should not be too hypocritical in Song Yanqing's eyes...

That sentence often lingers in her mind. She is selfishly greedy for that little bit of beauty, and she does not want to tear off the last piece of fig leaf, because it seems that as long as she says this sentence, it is time to step down and say goodbye. She dare not say it, Especially to Song Yanqing.

A slender hand that was as long as a bamboo bone shook in front of her, pulling her out of her wandering thoughts. She regained her composure, pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Song Yanqing looked at her but smiled, and asked tentatively: "I just told you, did you hear it?"

"I... I was thinking about the copper mine tomorrow, yes, the copper mine." Chu Shou twitched a few times, frowning helplessly, looking at Song Yanqing's cold face, she replied cautiously: " Would you... say it again?"

Song Yanqing lowered his eyes, his eyes were hazy, and shook his head stubbornly, but he couldn't laugh, his eyes were bitter, he thought about it, and didn't say any more. When it comes to autumn, if you don't pay attention, your eyes will be full of broken leaves, and the ground will be withered and yellow.

The shadow of the moon is sparse, and the branches are like crooked black snakes entrenched around. They quietly climbed to the ground and climbed to the roof. The road is not long, but the two of them walked very slowly, as if they really returned to the past, and went down the mountain to recover from the cold. When they were in the garden, they walked side by side in the same way. Sometimes they talked happily, but they couldn’t finish talking along the way. Of course, it was mainly Chu Shou’s output; The mountain breeze makes me feel very comfortable.

Song Yanqing handed the night light to Chu Shou, both of them were absent-minded, Chu Shou didn't dare to meet his eyes, he lowered his head and took the night light from the corner of his eye, he turned around and left without saying a word, then For a moment, Chu Shou seemed to see the day he left Hanyuan, and his back was still so lonely.

She stood at the door for a long time, watching Song Yanqing's back disappearing into the night little by little, she just stared at it so obsessively, she couldn't see through it no matter what.

"Just now... it seems that you missed his life-and-death oath with you... Tsk tsk tsk, it's a pity that Lord Yushi is so infatuated."

On the other side, a person slowly walked out from the dark place, tall and slender, Luo Qi folded his arms and folded his chest, leaning his back on the wooden pillar beside him, talking casually.

Chu Shou raised her eyes coldly, a golden arrow slipped out of her sleeve, and she stepped close to Luo Qi, resting her elbow on his throat, turning the golden arrow with her right hand, and pressing it against his chest.

Luo Qi was suddenly pushed down, unable to stand still, raised her eyes to meet Chu Shou's gaze, her eyes were cold, she frowned slightly, her elbow pushed his neck, making him a little breathless, he curled his lips With a smile, it was a bit difficult to speak, and asked: "The princess... what does this mean?"

Chu Shou's eyes turned hard, not at all as gentle as before, she said coldly to Luo Qi: "What should be said and what should not be said, I hope you can think clearly, if I remember correctly , the storytellers in various teahouses are still telling stories about the past of the princess, if you don’t know it, then take the time to listen to it... Let’s see if I dare to really do something to you.”

The sharp arrow of the golden arrow slashed across his chest through his clothes. It didn't hurt, but it lingered there like a poisonous snake. The numbness made people disgusted and bored.

Chu Shou went on to say:
"I think you are the proton of You Yan. You are in a foreign country, and you are helpless. Don't force me to talk to people again. If you dare to gossip again, the place where you will stay for a long time will not be Kyoto. "

After all, the hand holding the golden arrow was raised and then quickly dropped, Luo Qi was so frightened that he closed his eyes tightly.

Although the arrow did not tie his chest tightly, and being surrounded by Chu Shou's arms did not hurt him, but the purpose of intimidation was still achieved.

Before he could react, Chu Shou pushed back hard again, turned the golden arrow nimbly with his fingers, retracted it into his sleeve, turned around and pushed open the door, and stepped in slowly.

The door closed with a creak, and Luo Qi touched his neck and bent down along the pillar to cough a few times, coughing up tears. After recovering, he straightened his robe and picked up the things that had just fallen from the ground. Night light, raised his hand to gently sweep off the dust on it, his eyes were dim and unclear.

Immediately afterwards, he walked forward with his hand, turned around a corridor, but was stopped by a figure.

Luo Qi was frightened, he clenched the handle tightly, stepped back a few steps, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, he looked left and right, then blew out the night light, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "What's the matter?" ?”

"I would like to ask you, what should I do when Princess Tomorrow and the Metropolitan Procuratorate request to investigate the details of the copper mine?"

With the help of the moonlight, Wei Qingxuan's face was gradually revealed. He frowned, uneasy, and stood respectfully in front of Luo Qi.

Luo Qi lowered his eyes and sneered, and said in a deep voice: "Then take them to the abandoned mine to have a look. Once I enter the mine, I still want to die alone."
