After the avalanche, the Fengxue Inn was cleared of guests and became He Lianxuan's residence.

While he was recovering from his injuries, he sent people to search the snowy mountains. The Yulin Army and the Royal Guards hovered on the two snow-capped mountains day and night.

As the shopkeeper of Fengxue Inn, Jiang Li has already undergone two rounds of interrogation within seven days.

He Lianxuan stood on the roof of Fengxue Inn, looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance with a cold expression.

Si Nuo walked over on wooden clogs and said, "King, it's time for us to return to the imperial city."

On the snowy mountain, the Yulin Army was searching in groups to see if there were any survivors.

"Wang Wang Wang..."

The big dog on the leash barked and ran forward.

The deputy commander of the Yulin Army waved his hand and said, "Follow me."

Jiang Xuening spent a lot of effort and finally climbed out of the snow cave. As soon as she emerged, she stared at a panting big black dog.

The big black dog bared its teeth at her, which was so bad that she fell back again.

"Pull people up."

Two Yulin soldiers grabbed her wrists and pulled her up instantly.

She was immediately surrounded by dozens of Yulin troops and was taken away with almost no struggle.

Jiang Xuening was very aware of the Yulin Army's style. She would rather kill by accident than let go. If she dared to resist, her life would be decided here today.

The arrival of the Yulin Army means that that person has arrived.

Jiang Xuening's leg was injured. After only walking a few steps, she sat down on the ground, "I can't walk anymore."

Searching the mountain here in the ice and snow, the Yulin Army was also simmering with anger. The deputy commander directly pushed her angrily, "If you don't want to leave, get out yourself."

Jiang Xuening's eyes darkened, and she tugged on the man's cloak in front of her, "Commander Zuo, I really can't walk anymore. My legs are useless when I walk down the mountain."

Zuo Xiao turned around with sharp eyes, "How do you know my surname is Zuo?"

Jiang Xuening looked at him calmly, "Five years ago, my sister was stabbed in the left shoulder in order to save you in the chaos."

Zuo Xiao's expression changed slightly, and the identity of the person in front of him was clearly revealed.

He looked away and his eyelashes trembled, then he squatted down with his back to Jiang Xuening, "Come up."

In the surprised eyes of other Yulin soldiers, Jiang Xuening climbed up with difficulty.

Zuo Xiao easily carried her on his back and walked down the mountain in silence.

Jiang Xuening couldn't help but said, "Did he come to pay homage to my sister?"

Zuo Xiao, "You should still worry about your own life."

Zuo Xiao carried her on his back and walked swiftly, followed by a group of Yulin troops. The group quickly returned to Fengxue Inn.

As soon as he got closer, Jiang Xuening felt murderous intent. She raised her head and met a pair of cold eyes.

Jiang Xuening trembled as if frightened, and buried her head on Zuo Xiao's back while breathing unsteadily, and subconsciously grabbed his shoulders.

She was afraid that if she took one more look, she would lose control of her expression and reveal the hatred in her eyes.

Zuo Xiao thought she was afraid and slowed down.

He carried her in and put her down, letting her sit on the wooden bench in the lobby.

Jiang Li was sorting out the books behind the counter and didn't even raise his eyebrows when he saw her coming in, as if they didn't know each other at all.

Shen Zhaoyan looked at her from the second floor, still looking weak.

Everyone in the inn looked at her, but no one moved.

Until there were footsteps on the stairs, Zuo Xiao saluted, "Your Majesty, I found a girl on the mountain. She should be the princess's cousin."

He Lianxuan walked to her and stopped, "Raise your head."

Jiang Xuening slowly raised her head. Her face, which was originally black and yellow, was red and purple from frostbite, and her hair was like a chicken coop. The whole person looked ugly and dirty, except for a pair of eyes that were surprisingly bright.

He Lianxuan stared into those eyes and reached out to hold her chin, "Since she has the blood of the Gu family, let's pull her down and kill her."

Feng Qingyundan's words decided her life or death.

Jiang Xuening's heart beat hard, and she stretched out her hand to hold his wrist. Her eyes were filled with mist, and she looked at him stubbornly, "Brother-in-law, I hurt..."

The air suddenly became quiet. He Lianxuan pulled her down to the ground with a strong force and looked at her condescendingly, "What did you call me?"

"Brother-in-law..." Jiang Xuening fell to the ground and looked up at him at a 45-degree angle. The tears she was holding back finally fell, "Everyone said that I look most like my sister. Brother-in-law, do you think I look like her?"

Of course it doesn't look like that. Gu Mingyue is known as the Pearl of Kyoto and is the most dazzling woman in the imperial city.

The person in front of me is like black coal, so ugly that people can’t bear to look at it...

But those stubborn eyes and the way they shed tears were very much like the person in my memory.

He Lianxuan was stunned by her look and said coldly and proudly, "Does it hurt? I will make it hurt even more for you."

He raised his foot and stepped on Jiang Xuening's injured left foot without hesitation, crushing it hard.

Jiang Xuening's facial features were twisted in pain, like a dying beast. She pounced forward, grabbed He Lianxuan's hand, and bit it down hard.

"His Majesty!"

"king!"

Amid everyone's worried exclamations, He Lianxuan raised his hand and hit her hard on the chest. Jiang Xuening fell to the ground motionless.

He Lianxuan looked at the bloody tooth marks at the tiger's mouth on his hand. Gu Mingyue had also bitten here before and left traces.

She said this was her exclusive seal.

Now, someone with the same blood and eyes as hers bites her again.

He Lianxuan's suspicion suddenly broke out, and he felt that the person in front of him was doing it on purpose.

Jiang Xuening struggled to get up from the ground, her mouth was full of blood, but there was a smile in her eyes, "Brother-in-law, if you treat me like this, aren't you afraid that my sister's spirit will come to you underground?"

"You deserve to call her sister." He Lianxuan looked coldly, "Brother-in-law can't save you."

"Drag people off."

Zuo Xiao took a step forward and was about to drag her out when Jiang Xuening took out an ice flower hibiscus pendant from her arms, "Is this enough?"

He Lianxuan, who had always been aloof and exuding the aura of an emperor, finally had a mood swing. He snatched the jade pendant from her hand and asked, "Why is the jade pendant here with you?"

This was his birthday gift to Gu Mingyue, and he promised that he would always love her. With this jade pendant, she can make a request to her.

She lowered her eyes. She had indeed given the jade pendant to her younger cousin from the Jiang family who had returned from Hell. She hoped that she would be safe every year.

Finally, after going round and round, she became Jiang Xuening, and the jade pendant returned to her hand.

"When my sister gave me this jade pendant, she said she hoped that I would be safe and grow up well." Jiang Xuening said softly, "My sister loves me so much, and my brother-in-law also loves me, okay..."

Shen Zhaoyan on the second floor accidentally knocked over the cup on the table, which was particularly jarring in the silence.

He Lianxuan clenched the jade pendant in his hand and smiled strangely, "I feel sorry for you, right?"

Jiang Xuening looked at him with red eyes, trying to act a bit pitiful.

"Come to my room and I'll love you."

He Lianzhang held the jade pendant and turned around to go upstairs. Jiang Xuening was pulled up and thrown into his room, and the door slammed shut.
