Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

After the battle in Zixiao Palace, everyone thought that Xie Yuanting was dead, even he himself thought that he was going to die, but the scenery here was extremely ugly, and he didn't want to die here.

He moved his fingers and tried to struggle to get up, but his hand was broken and he couldn't use any strength at all.Not content with this, he moved his leg again—only one was broken, which was fine.

This is the bottom of the cliff at the back of Zixiao Palace, Gu Qingyi's body is lying beside it.

Seeing his tragic death, Xie Yuanting felt very relieved, and suddenly felt that the wound on his body didn't hurt anymore, and he didn't realize at all that he was also a dying person.

The mountain wind is clear and bright, and the stream is murmuring by the ears. In fact, the scenery here is very beautiful, but Xie Yuanting doesn't want to die here.

He left without saying goodbye, and went to the Zixiao Palace alone to take revenge. Countless people died under his sword. Now that the great revenge has been avenged, he did not have the relief and freedom he imagined, but fell into a cycle of dreams——

It was a dream about Fuyi Garden.
When he was 17 years old, he went to Foguang Temple to ask for a peace talisman for his elder sister. As soon as he walked out of the mountain gate, he was grabbed by the sleeve by a red-eyed girl.

Xie Yuanting felt that the girl was pretty, but it was inexplicable, and she dragged him to cry non-stop, as if he had failed her affectionately, but he wanted to break his head, and he didn't remember when he had provoked her like this. A peach blossom debt.

Later, seeing her crying so much, I couldn't bear it, and patiently explained: "I know you are very sad, but you seem to have misidentified someone. My surname is not Xue, and Xie Heng is my name."

Xie Yuanting, who always walked outside and did not report his real name, this time revealed his name by accident.

How could Fu Yunchuo, who was crying heartbrokenly, listen to his words?He stubbornly pulled him and refused to let go, insisting on taking him back.

Xie Yuanting had no choice but to follow her down the mountain first, and then try to escape.

Along the way, Fu Yunchuo was afraid that he would run away, so he simply took the hair tie and tied their hands together.At that time, Xie Yuanting, who was young and inexperienced, was startled by her, his ears turned red!Subconsciously brought out the set of etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame of the master of the academy.

But Fu Yunchuo wholeheartedly believed that he was Xue Qingshan, and said confidently: "You and I have already paid homage, this time no matter what, I will not let you go!"

Xie Yuanting was dumbfounded, it turned out that the person she was looking for was her husband.
The guards waiting at the foot of the mountain were very indifferent when they saw that the eldest princess brought down a young man in white.

Ever since the news of the son-in-law's death in southern Xinjiang was reported to the capital, the eldest princess would always recognize the wrong person, and anyone who was somewhat similar to the son-in-law would be brought back to the princess mansion.Xie Yuanting is not the first one, but the one who resembles Xue Qingshan the most.

It was also at this moment that Xie Yuanting realized that the person in front of him who tied his hands with him domineeringly was not someone else, but the current Holy Majesty's own sister.

But his sister is the queen!If this enters the princess' mansion, what's the deal?
So, Xie Yuanting ran away, never running away in such fear.

I thought it was just a chance encounter this time, and we would never see each other again in the future, but the world is unpredictable, Xie Yuanting never thought that the second encounter would come so soon.
Spring came very late in the second year of Yong'an, the first month had already passed, and the snow still hadn't melted.

Xie Yuanting couldn't count how many times this was the first time he ran away from home. Holding his stomach full of anger, he walked alone in the ice and snow, secretly vowing never to return to Lushan again.

Wen Qing chased him out, running out of breath: "My lord, wait for me! It's rare for you to come back, what are you doing with the master at this time? If the empress finds out, she will have to ask again. Say you!"

"Don't use my sister to oppress me!" Xie Yuanting snorted coldly, and walked forward with her head buried, "Then what girl from the Chen family, whoever likes her will marry! After all, this time, no matter what you say, I will not go back!"

"But if you don't go back, where else can you go? People from Zixiao Palace are looking for you everywhere, if they bump into you, wouldn't it be—"

Before this party finished speaking, Xie Yuanting suddenly stopped, clenched his long sword tightly, and said angrily: "I should really sew your mouth shut."

Wen Qing was taken aback, only to see several black shadows flashing out of the white snow all over the sky, and the sharp light of the saber approached him.

His mouth really should be sewn up.

Xie Yuanting felt that the people in Zixiao Palace were too small-minded, he just saved someone, and accidentally cut Gu Qingyi's valuable robe, so he told them to chase and shout, beating and killing, how narrow-minded!
After solving these troubles, Xie Yuanting took out a handkerchief to wipe off the blood on the sword, and said, "I'm a little tired, let's find a place to sleep first."

Wen Qing looked at his red-stained white clothes, and said in a trembling voice, "My lord, you are injured."

"Oh?"

He lowered his head to look, and someone who didn't know how to look at his waist had been stabbed, and the white clothes faded into layers of bright red, which was particularly dazzling in the pure whiteness of his eyes.After a while, he felt that everything in front of him began to be turned upside down, and Wenqing's face was also crooked.

Wenqing hurriedly supported him: "My lord, are you alright?"

He pursed his lips indifferently: "Gu Qingyi still likes to make dirty tricks so much, this poison—"

The voice stopped abruptly, and the person fell into the snow.

Xie Yuanting didn't know how long he had been in a coma. When he woke up again, there was a light blue gauze curtain in front of him. The snow outside seemed to melt overnight, and the light plum blossom fragrance came in through the window lattice.

Only now did he see clearly where he was at this time: Someone put a pair of handcuffs on his wrists, made of gold, tied to a pear tree frame, making it impossible for him to leave.

He was kidnapped?
Before he could recover, the door was pushed open.Then, surrounded by maidservants, that magnificent figure came slowly.

Fu Yunchuo said to him: "I saved you, so you can stay in the princess mansion from now on."

Xie Yuanting looked at the shackles on his wrists, and asked with a light smile, "I will repay Your Highness's life-saving grace, but is it not good for you to leave me an unknown person in the mansion?"

"I don't need to know your name, you must stay here until he comes back."

Xie Yuanting knew that the person she was waiting for might not be able to come back, and also knew that she trapped herself in the princess mansion only for the unfinished love in her heart.But, how could she selfishly keep him by her side as that person without even asking his name?
There is an assassin from Zixiao Palace outside, his injuries are not healed, it is a good choice to stay in the Princess Mansion, but he is unwilling to comfort Fu Yunchuo on behalf of others.

Therefore, he put forward a condition to Fu Yunchuo: "If the person Your Highness is waiting for cannot come back within five years, Your Highness, please forget about him."

"Your Highness wants me to stay in the Princess Mansion, so please remember my name."

Fu Yunchuo looked at those smiling peach blossom eyes, feeling a bit dazed, and the bitterness that had been silent for a long time spread in her heart. After a long time, she asked, "What's your name?"

"Xie Yuanting"

At that time, the spring was just right, and the plum blossoms were falling like snow, so Xie Yuanting stayed in the princess mansion like this.

He sleeps in the Fuyi Garden every day, and occasionally has a conversation with the musician who lives next door.

Newcomers come in from time to time in the princess mansion, some are recommended by themselves, and some are forced to come.Like Xie Yuanting, it's neither forced nor voluntary.

Seeing his leisurely appearance, Wen Qing couldn't help asking: "Master, do you really intend to stay in the Princess Mansion?"

He gave a light "hmm".

Hearing this, Wen Qing's heart sank, and he murmured softly: "The Xie family has been clean for generations, if Mrs. Master knows that you are committed to the eldest princess, I'm afraid you will—"

"What is commitment?" Xie Yuanting felt that this was wrong, "It's just that there is nowhere to go right now, and staying here is just a safe place for one party."

Ask Qing to see through but not to tell.

Ever since Xie Yuanting lived in Fuyi Garden, Fu Yunchuo sent many things over, all of which were expensive items, but none of them were Xie Yuanting's real favorites, such as the Qiwuqin.

He knows music theory, but he is not good at playing the piano.He knew that the piano that Fu Yunchuo sent was not for him, but for the person she never forgot.

The counselors in the princess mansion are different, but they all have the shadow of Xue Qingshan to some extent.

Xie Yuanting didn't want to know too much about that person, but Fu Yunchuo would often get drunk, holding him and shouting "Qingshan" over and over again, recalling the past between them over and over again.
Xie Yuanting could see her being trapped by love and heartbroken, and he also felt sad after seeing her more, but he didn't empathize with her, but felt sorry for his sprouting heart.

He stayed in the princess mansion for five years, during which he tried to leave countless times, but each time ended in failure.

Others thought he didn't want to stay, only he knew: he did this just to let Fu Yunchuo remember him.

Thinking about it now, I just feel childish, but in order to get the attention of the person he likes, no matter how ridiculous things he does, it is understandable.

Xie Yuanting doesn't remember which time she gave her heart out during the entanglement of breathing, maybe it was when she met in Foguang Temple, she tied her hands with him domineeringly; maybe when she was drunk, she inadvertently The kiss that fell on her lips; maybe it was in the early spring of that year, she threw him the jade pendant engraved with his name as a joke
In fact, there are many things worth remembering between them, but he is probably the only one who will recall these things now.
Xie Yuanting slowly opened his eyes, the sky was already dark, the moonlight was flowing, and the fragrant mist was in the air, such a beautiful moonlight was just like what he saw in Fuyi Garden in the past.

He lay quietly on the grass by the stream, his heart was never at peace, he couldn't even feel the pain even with the wounds on his body, it seemed that he still had a little bit of strength?
It is said that before death, people will think of many past events and forget all the pain. This phenomenon is called "reflection".

Xie Yuanting felt that he was in this state at the moment.

Lushan's revenge has been avenged, and it seems that there is nothing to be attached to, but looking at the crescent moon in the sky, he suddenly wants to go back to the capital and take another look at Fuyi Garden
With that in mind, he did just that.

With all his strength, he turned over enduring the pain, and crawled slowly and with difficulty.Although I don't know if I can leave this valley alive, I still have to try, even if I die halfway, there is no regret.
