The cold wind from the back mountain was biting. A few snowflakes floated down from the gloomy sky, and the cold touch fell on Jiang Ci's face. He slowly raised his head and glanced at the sky.

"Jiaojiao, it's snowing."

The person behind him did not respond, and Jiang Ci paused.

"Jiaojiao?"

After a moment, a delicate voice was heard.

"I'm here, Ah Ci, I'm here..."

Jiang Ci suppressed his surging grief and said gently, "It's snowing. Be good, let's not sleep. We will soon reach Hopeless Cliff."

"it is good……"

Jiang Ci was afraid that she would fall asleep, so he kept talking to her along the way.

"When did Jiaojiao fall in love with me?"

Yan Shu was silent for a moment, and then replied softly, "Perhaps it was because of my attraction to you when we first met, or... maybe it was because we shared hardships while fleeing from famine, but before I knew it... Ah Ci was the only one in my heart."

Jiang Ci laughed softly, "So it was so early. I've liked Jiaojiao for a long time too. At first, I was curious about why a person could change so much overnight. Later, I was attracted by your gentle and thoughtful care. I always wanted you to focus all your attention on me, and I hoped that you would be as deeply involved as I was."

"Aci!"

"Ok!"

"Forget about me..."

Her voice was very soft, like a feather brushing gently past her ear and then blown away by the wind in an instant.

Jiang Ci continued to walk up the mountain in the cold wind: "You are my own Jiaojiao. You promised to get married when I return victorious. You can't break your promise! Before I went to the battle, I secretly went to the embroidery room to see the wedding dress. Jiaojiao will definitely look very beautiful in it. The wedding dress should be embroidered now. After we return to Beijing, can you try it on yourself and show it to me?"

The person behind him did not respond. Jiang Ci felt his feet were extremely heavy with every step he took. The snowflakes in the sky were floating more and more, dancing like white butterflies in the howling cold wind. The ground was covered with a layer of white frost, and the mountain road ahead was still very long.

Jiang Ci didn't dare to stop: "Jiaojiao wants to see the sea of ​​fog. We are almost there. In this weather, I don't know if we can still see the sunrise tomorrow morning. But it doesn't matter. We can wait until it's sunny to see it again."

Half an hour later, Jiang Ci finally reached the top of the mountain carrying Yan Shu on his back, and came to the edge of the Hopeless Cliff where they had watched the sunrise together before.

Jiang Ci squatted down and gently put Yan Shu down. He stretched out his hands and held the person horizontally in his arms, walked to the grass in front and sat on the ground, wrapped the person tightly in his arms with his silver fox cloak, raised his already frozen hands and touched the person in his arms carefully.

"Jiaojiao, look! It's a sea of ​​fog."

The white mist under the cliff ahead was surging like sea water, with spectacular and turbulent waves.

However, the person lying in his arms never opened her eyes. She was like a sleeping beauty, lying quietly in Jiang Ci's arms and fell into a deep sleep.

Jiang Ci stood as still as a stone sculpture, holding her tightly and refusing to let go.

next day

Before dawn, the shadow guards, Liu Hanyue and Qin Chuan rushed over.

"Your Majesty!" Ying Si stepped forward quickly.

"Shh, Jiaojiao hasn't woken up yet, don't go towards her."

It snowed heavily overnight, and Jiang Ci's body was already covered with white snowflakes. He lowered his head and gently kissed Yan Shu between his eyebrows.

"Jiaojiao, we didn't get to see the sunrise today. We'll come back another day."

Liu Hanyue strode forward, her eyes falling on the person in Jiang Ci's arms.

Just one glance and the whole person froze on the spot.

"Jiang Ci, you bastard, she is so weak and you still brought her to Hopeless Cliff to watch the sunrise. Give her back to me."

Liu Hanyue stretched out his hand to grab the person, but Jiang Ci suddenly exerted his internal force and the gravel in front of him instantly flew up and hit Liu Hanyue. Liu Hanyue flew to avoid it and continued to grab the person, but Qin Chuan immediately ran over and grabbed him.

"Junior brother, Miss Yan definitely doesn't want to see this."

Liu Hanyue's whole body was tense. Her hands, which hung at her sides, were clenched too tightly, so that her nails dug into her flesh. The intense stinging pain only managed to suppress the rage surging in her heart.

He looked towards Yan Shu. She was sleeping peacefully as usual, but this time she would never wake up again.

"Your Majesty, Miss Yan has left. Let's take her down the mountain."

Jiang Ci ignored the persuasion of the people around him and reached out to gently wipe away the snowflakes on Yan Shu's body.

He was like a walking corpse without any sense or awareness. After cleaning the snow that had accumulated on Yan Shu's body, he moved his numb legs, hugged her tightly, turned around and walked straight down the mountain.

At this moment, everyone tacitly kept silent, following Jiang Ci silently at a distance of several dozen meters, escorting him all the way back to Qingyun Mountain.

Xuan Heng, Xuan Kong, as well as the head of the sect Xuan Tai, Nangong Yan and others were waiting in the courtyard where Yan Shu lived. When they saw Jiang Ci coming back with Yan Shu in his arms, Xuan Heng took the lead and walked forward.

As a doctor, he only needed to get closer to realize that Yan Shu had died a long time ago.

"Uncle Master Xuan Heng, please follow me."

Jiang Ci didn't look at anyone. He called Xuan Heng's name and carried Yan Shu into the house.

He walked to the bed and carefully placed Yan Shu's body on the bed, then took out a handkerchief and wiped her wet hair.

"Your Majesty, the reason why Miss Yan avoided you was because she was afraid that you would be too sad because of her departure. The dead are gone, Your Majesty, please accept my condolences."

Jiang Ci glanced at Xuan Heng with an indifferent expression.

"Do you have a way to keep the body from decaying?"

Xuan Heng's heart trembled: "Your Majesty, are you planning to..."

"She just wants to take a nap. She will wake up when she has had enough sleep. I must take good care of her body."

Xuan Heng: ...

Is your majesty crazy?

The person has been dead for a long time, how could he wake up?

It seems that excessive grief has caused an emergency.

"Your Majesty, there is only one bead from the East China Sea that can keep a corpse from decaying for a long time, but the whereabouts of the bead is still unknown. By the time you find the bead, I'm afraid Yan's body will have already..."

A sinister look shot over: "I said, she just wants to take a nap, she is not dead!"

Xuan Heng sighed helplessly, they were all idiots.

He took out a brown pill from his pocket, walked to the bed and stuffed it into Yan Shu's mouth.

"This medicine, if placed in her mouth, will keep the body from decaying for three months."

After saying thank you, Jiang Ci walked out quickly holding Yan Shu.

"Shadow Four!"

Ying Si, who was guarding outside the door, walked quickly into the house.

"His Majesty!"

"Prepare the carriages and horses, we can go down the mountain."

Ying Si glanced at Yan Shu and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

He wanted to ask whether he should prepare a coffin for Miss Yan, but His Majesty would definitely not agree.
