After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Liu Yunxiang hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Lan Niang and wanted to run towards the door, but several nursing homes blocked her, so she had to pull her and turn into the west corner door.

From the west corner gate is the back mountain, as if you have left Zhuangzi. There were two roads going up and down at his feet. Liu Yunxiang saw a team of guards coming up from below holding torches, and hurriedly pulled Lan Niang up the mountain.

Lan Niang was so distraught that she accidentally tripped and fell.

At this time, someone ran down the mountain holding a torch. Liu Yunxiang hurriedly took Lan Niang to hide in the nearby woods.

After the people passed by, Liu Yunxiang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lan Niang under the moonlight, seeing that her face was full of tears.

Liu Yunxiang sighed slightly: "You should have seen that he is such a person."

Lan Niang wiped her tears: "He always said that when he passes the exam, he will let me live a good life. I don't care whether I can live a good life or not, I just want him to get what he wants, and I just want him to be happy. . I entered his house when I was ten years old, and we were childhood sweethearts. I treated him sincerely, thinking that if he didn’t say he was wholehearted to me, he would at least have some family affection. I didn’t want to..."

Lan Niang hammered her chest. It really hurt there!

Thinking of those men surrounding her just now, all of them were impatient. If Liu Yunxiang hadn't saved her, then she would... think of what she might have suffered. Lan Niang felt heartbroken and resentful at the same time.

Just for a stick of incense, he sold her!

Liu Yunxiang patted Lan Niang on the back and told her to wait here while she went out to explore the road.

Coming out of the forest, Liu Yunxiang saw the torches burning below, so he walked towards the road up the mountain, wanting to see if there was any other way down the mountain. After walking for a short distance, I saw a small courtyard hidden in the woods.

She hesitated for a moment and walked over there. As soon as she reached the door, she saw a woman and her maid running out of the house in a panic.

I ran to the entrance of the courtyard and looked around to see if there was no one there.

The mother-in-law patted her thigh and said, "Where are the people? Where have they gone?"

"Mommy, what should I do?" The maid was so frightened that she cried.

"The imperial concubine is dead..." the nun said and looked back, "I left the palace privately and something like this happened. If we were brought back to the palace, we would... definitely not survive! "

"Mommy, I don't want to die!"

The grandma froze on the spot for a moment, then picked up the maid and ran to the other side, "For this reason, we have no choice but to escape."

Liu Yunxiang came out from behind the tree and frowned. Who is the 'imperial concubine' they are talking about?

died?

Liu Yunxiang hesitated for a moment, then sneaked into the yard while there was no one around. There is a patch of vine growing in the yard, exuding a bitter aroma, and I look towards the main house.

The lights in the west room were on, and there was a trace of blood on the window lattice. She pursed her lips and walked lightly into the room.

When she opened the door, a strong bitter aroma came out, which made her eyes feel hot. After the aroma dissipated a little, she looked inside and gasped when she saw the situation inside.

But seeing the blood stains all over the room, it was like entering a blood cave, and lying on the ground was a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes. She was already dead, with many knife wounds all over her body. She should have been hacked to death with random knives.

The edge of the knife was too messy, as if it was already in a state of frantic slashing to vent its anger. And every blow was extremely cruel. One blow on his left arm even cut off the bones.

The woman stared, shock frozen on her face.

Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but cover her mouth and take a step back. At this moment, she accidentally saw a piece of cloth exposed in the woman's clenched hand. It was blue and gold with dark patterns. She recognized it at a glance and couldn't help but tremble.

She swallowed twice, and before she could think clearly, she ran over and snatched the cloth from the woman's hand. After looking at the whole room again, and seeing that nothing was missing, she hurried out.

As soon as he hid in the woods, a team of guards came running.

The leader shouted: "The fire below has been put out. A thief must have broken in. Search around and don't alert the nobles above."

"Yes!"

After the nursing team passed by, Liu Yunxiang found Lan Niang, pulled her and ran towards the mountain road where the nanny and the maid escaped. All the way down the mountain, Liu Yunxiang was so panicked that she asked Lan Niang to go back first while she went to Jingchuan Garden.

The beggar looked nervous when he opened the door, but he was relieved when he saw it was her.

"I thought the palace was summoning me again in the middle of the night, which scared me so much."

As he spoke, he yawned, "Why are you here?"

Liu Yunxiang went in first and asked as he walked to the backyard: "Where is Yan Mu?"

"Go to sleep already."

Liu Yunxiang asked the beggar to go back to sleep, and she came to Yan Mu's house. The house was dark. She opened the door and went in. She felt a gust of wind pass by, and the next moment a knife was pressed against her neck.

The person hidden in the darkness was breathing heavily and sprayed on her ear, making her breathe faster.

"It's me." she said.

The knife trembled, but still did not leave.

"It's me, Liu Yunxiang." She said again.

After that, the knife slowly slid down.

Liu Yunxiang breathed a sigh of relief, came to the table, found the fire seal, and lit the candle on the table. She took a deep breath and turned back to look at Yan Mu. The firelight slowly shone on him, and the blood all over his body came to his face. The chill and vicious aura had not completely dissipated.

He was still wearing the clothes she gave him, the blue and gold brocade robe, but a strip was torn off his arm and was in her hand.

Her heart was trembling, and all she could think about was the tragic death of that woman.

He killed...

She walked up to him step by step, held his face, and let herself enter his eyes.

"Yan Mu, do you remember me?"

He looked at her, dazed for a moment, and then stopped talking.

"leave me alone."

Liu Yunxiang bit his lower lip, Chongming said that he had not forgotten her, Yan Mu said that he wanted to forget her, but in fact, he was really trying to eliminate her from his memory.

At that moment, he didn't recognize her.

She stood on tiptoe and pressed his forehead, staring into his eyes for a long time. When the anger in those eyes dissipated, she kissed the corner of his mouth and let go.

"I'll boil some hot water for you to take a bath."

Liu Yunxiang heated up the hot water, brought it in bucket by bucket, and put it into the bathtub. He tested the water temperature, then pulled Yan Mu in, helped him take off his clothes, and let him sit in.

She wiped him with a handkerchief, carefully, bit by bit, "I'll wash it for you so it won't be dirty."

Many of the bite wounds on his body had not yet healed, and they looked a bit ferocious. She brushed in front of him and looked at the scar on his chest, her hands trembling slightly.

"What were you thinking when you stabbed here?" she asked.

Yan Mu said hoarsely: "You."

Liu Yunxiang's nose felt sore, "Do you hate me so much that you want to kill yourself?"

"I can't bear it, so I don't hate it anymore."

"You don't hate or love anymore, right?"

"Ah."

Liu Yunxiang raised his head and said bitterly: "You are so small-minded."

"I have a very small heart. I used to only pretend to hate you, but then I only pretended to be you."

"now what?"

"kill."

It doesn't matter to him whether he lives or dies. As long as he is still alive, he will kill everyone who harms him.

He was crazy, not because of the poison. The madness he had developed since childhood was once sober because of her, but now he was only even more crazy.
