All the members are villains, and she just wants to show off when she is dressed as cannon fodder.

"what do you want to say?"

Yuan Tong'er felt weird about Yuan Wu's sudden change.

"Didn't you guess what I wanted to say?"

Yuan Wu walked in front of Yuan Tong'er, and his originally gentle and frail face suddenly turned into the face of a puppet who was not very good at making expressions. He was obviously smiling, but there was a look of contemptuous compassion between his eyebrows.

He stretched out his hand to smooth Yuan Tong'er's hair on the temples, but Yuan Tong'er dodged it, so he didn't care.

"... Qu Baiyu has used you as bait, and wants to use you to eradicate the secrets buried in his house.

Your whereabouts were revealed by him! "

His words resounded in Yuan Tong'er's eardrums. Yuan Tong'er felt like she had lost her ability to think and couldn't believe it.

"...How do you know? Those are all masked assassins, what kind of elaborate work..."

"Of course I know."

Yuan Wu interrupted her and raised another sarcastic smile, which made people get goosebumps inexplicably.

"Not only do I know that he used you as bait, I also know that those assassins will never actually kill you.

"Those assassins were just using their tactics to provide a cover-up for Qu Baiyu..."

He pressed forward step by step, and Yuan Tong'er was in a daze and could only retreat passively.

His wrist was suddenly pulled, and Yuan Wu stared at Yuan Tong'er's face.

"Little beauty, don't trust others so easily in the next life!"

Yuan Tong'er shuddered when he heard this, and the hairs all over his body stood up.

She didn't even have time to recall what was going on before she was violently pushed to the river by Yuan Wu.

Her consciousness was instantly submerged by the surging water, and she fell into the ice cave on the river.

She didn't know how to swim, and her fear kept her struggling in the water. Her arms frantically slapped the water around her, but she sank deeper and deeper.

Seeing her embarrassed look, Yuan Wu's bright eyes turned into crescent moons, and his smile became more and more crazier.

He pulled out two silver nails from his head with difficulty. The tops of the silver nails were stained with blood, as if they had been pulled out of his scalp.

Then something horrifying happened. "Yuan Wu"'s face instantly distorted and gradually turned into a strange face...

Yuan Tong'er's sight was invaded by layers of water, getting further and further away from the shore. Her sinking body made her feel the cold message of death.

Suffocation, or suffocation...

What exactly is going on? Why would someone want to assassinate her?

Yuan Tong'er's vision gradually blurred. These questions seemed to have no meaning to her. She was going to die.

Just like, she comes from one place and is going to another place. In this case, she is just passing by...

There was light shining on the river, and amid the surging undercurrent, what she saw when she raised her eyes was a swaying brilliance.

In this brilliance, there is a piece of indigo-purple light lurking...

Qu Baiyu...

These three words appeared in Yuan Tong'er's mind.

Her skin is like jade, her eyebrows are like daisy, and her appearance is stunningly beautiful. In an instant, no scenery could compete with this one.

Is it an illusion...

The huge suffocation swept through her body again, and she gradually closed her eyes due to the feeling of powerlessness, and fell down like a light fallen leaf.

but,

Bait...

It turns out that in Qu Baiyu's eyes, she is just a bait...

Her consciousness gradually dissipated, and she fell from the flowers like a flying butterfly. It is as fragile as the ice hanging from the eaves in the cold winter, just waiting to fall to the bottom of the lake and shatter into pieces.

Her fingers were suddenly pinched tightly, and she forced her eyelids to look at the world for the last time.

The indigo light spot was radiant, and a piece of cold softness attached to her lips...

"Yuan Tong'er, Yuan Tong'er!"

Qu Baiyu rescued Yuan Tong'er ashore and kept shouting in his arms.

Yuan Tong'er had completely lost consciousness. She was now nestled in his soaked arms, her lips were blue and her hands and feet were cold.

Qu Baiyu panicked, and the regret in his heart instantly swept through his body like a flood that broke a bank.

He hurriedly wrapped the fur cloak handed over by Cui Xiaoyi around Yuan Tong'er's body. The man who had always been calm and self-possessed was now trembling uncontrollably.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I didn't know it would be like this... I'm sorry..."

His hair was messy and he was soaked. He didn't care. He just kept calling Yuan Tong'er and giving her artificial respiration.

But Yuan Tong'er just lay motionless, her body limp, like a soulless skin.

Qu Baiyu shook the man who was lying motionless, his eyes became wet, and he almost desperately prayed for the other person to wake up.

"Yuan Tong'er, wake up... wake up... it's my fault, it's my fault..."

He repeated it over and over again, feeling disappointed over and over again, feeling regret over and over again, almost on the verge of collapse.

"Cough, cough——"

Suddenly there was a coughing sound in front of him, which revived the despairing Qu Baiyu like a life-saving straw.

He quickly hugged Yuan Tong'er and called softly again.

Along with the sound of coughing, Yuan Tong'er spit out a few large mouthfuls of water, raised her heavy eyelids, and crawled into his arms in a daze, muttering something cold in her mouth.

Only then did Qu Baiyu react, wrapped the fur cloak tightly around her body again, and strode back to the Prince's Mansion with her in his arms.

Cen Huan, who had been ordered to go out, had returned and was waiting for his return in the mansion. When he saw Qu Baiyu coming back in a hurry with a slender girl in his arms, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Qu Baiyu didn't stay. When he entered the house, he asked Xu Hui to prepare a medicinal bath in the soup.

Probably because this body is too weak, although Yuan Tong'er has a tendency to wake up, his consciousness is still very weak.

In a daze, she felt as if she was being carried into a fairyland. The white mist is lingering, vaguely carrying the fragrance of medicine and flowers...

The cold body gradually warmed up, and the warmth made her no longer shrink.

"...Jiaojiao..."

"Sorry……"

"...Jiaojiao..."

"...I failed to protect you..."

"...Don't come out! No matter what happens, don't come out!"

The wonderland turned into a sea of ​​fire in an instant, and Yuan Tong'er was pushed into the closet by the strange woman in front of him.

She couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but she felt that she was so familiar, so familiar that it made people feel distressed.

"...Come with me, please..."

Yuan Tong'er seemed to be praying uncontrollably and looking at the woman. The desire in her heart was more pious than every time she prayed to Buddha.

The sound of cold footsteps broke the farewell between them, and the scene changed instantly. Yuan Tong'er could only peek through the crack in the door.

"The Emperor has called, Madam Liu, please."

Outside the carved and hollow screen, a woman looked sad and took the delicate wine cup from the stranger's hand.

She calmly glanced back in the direction of Yuan Tong'er, and opened and closed her mouth slightly to form a pale smile.

With just one look, he was more determined to drink the wine in one gulp.

The huge grief came like a flood and a beast, slamming into Yuan Tong'er's chest.

The woman's opening and closing mouth seemed to have a sound at this time.

"...Only if I die... can you live..."

Yuan Tong'er didn't understand why, but the moment the woman fell, she suddenly remembered that this woman was her mother.
