"mother--"

Yuan Tong'er shouted subconsciously.

She opened her eyes, feeling a bit bitter in her heart. She clearly didn't recognize the woman in the dream, but she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

That woman, she called her mother.

"The girl is awake?"

Xu Hui's voice came from outside the bed tent. Her voice was calm and gentle, which made people feel inexplicably reassured.

Yuan Tong'er wanted to get up, but her palms crossed the quilt beside her, and the remaining warmth made her feel dazed.

Xu Hui said: "His Royal Highness just left. He left a message when he left, saying that the girl is not well yet. If she wakes up, there is no need to get up. She needs to take good care of her."

Yuan Tong'er was stunned when he heard the words, and looked at the crocodile gauze tent hanging beside the bed. The tent was embroidered with beads and silver thread begonia flowers all over, and the gauze moved in the wind, like a phantom sea of ​​clouds and mountains.

It's Qu Baiyu's bedroom.

"He...has always been here?"

Yuan Tong'er asked.

Xu Hui: "Back to my dear. My dear, you accidentally fell into the water yesterday and suffered a severe cold. Your Highness took you to take a medicinal bath. I was afraid that you might not be able to bear it at night..."

"I understand. Come on, I want to be alone for a while."

Yuan Tong'er interrupted her and felt ironic when she heard the sentence "accidentally fell into the water".

Someone wanted to kill her, and even started such a big battle, but she didn't even know why the other person wanted to kill her!

She vaguely felt that it was related to her identity, and her identity was also related to that strange case.

And these Qu Baiyu seemed to know that, just like the person who killed her said, Qu Baiyu used her as bait.

Her heart paused, and she was more at a loss than when she first held Qu Baiyu's hand that evening.

It has been snowing intermittently for several days, and the sky is so gloomy that it is difficult to tell the time.

Yuan Tong'er sneered secretly, Prince Yu is really good at acting!

She raised her head, and since it was just a joke, if she didn't let the other party meet someone who was equally matched, wouldn't it be a waste of his acting skills!

The fake "Yuan Wu" was interrogated all night. Finally, he couldn't bear the torture anymore and surrendered.

She is a killer of the Nanliang Knife Clan. She does not know martial arts, but she can kill people invisible with just a weird disguise.

As a killer, she didn't know why she wanted to kill Yuan Tong'er. The sword only needs to know who to kill, not why!

Cen Huan also found out from Yuan Ji's place of residence that Yuan Ji had indeed followed Concubine Dao after entering the palace. Because of his ability in doing things, he was rewarded with a lot of gold and silver, and purchased real estate and land deeds.

But seventeen years ago, Yuan Ji suddenly returned to his hometown, sold all the things he wanted to provide for his retirement at a low price, and has since disappeared.

There was a long silence in the hall. Qu Baiyu looked at Cen Huan who was kneeling on the ground and returning to life, his cold voice seemed to be frozen.

"Huan'er, how long have you been following this king?"

Cen Huan didn't know what he meant, so he replied honestly: "Almost ten years."

"ten years……"

Qu Baiyu seemed to be recalling the past as he slowly walked towards Cen Huan as he spoke.

"Ten years ago, I risked my life to save you. Obviously you are my maid, but secretly you are my most valued sword..."

He walked up to Cen Huan, helped her up from the ground, and his tone gradually changed from indifferent to softer.

"I don't want you to hide something from me, do you understand?"

Cen Huan secretly squeezed her palm. As Qu Baiyu's most powerful sword, no one understood Qu Baiyu's ambition better than her.

She had followed the fifteen-year-old him to the official court in the capital since she was ten years old, and she also knew what would happen if she betrayed him.

But she also knew that Qu Baiyu's rescue of her was definitely not a kind act. She could be loyal to him, but she had to plan for herself. Then he raised his head and met Qu Baiyu's scrutinizing gaze.

"Subordinates... don't dare!"

Her slightly longer almond-shaped eyes were filled with a faint mist, and she looked very much like Yuan Tong'er.

Qu Baiyu's eyes moved slightly and he waved her back.

White snowflakes fell all over the sky, like goose feathers, flying one after another.

Cen Huan reached out to catch it, and the snowflakes melted into water in her hands in a short time.

It's been ten years, and the Golden City has been in ruins for ten years. The mist in her eyes gradually condensed into tiny teardrops.

"Father, mother, you have spirits in heaven, wish your child to find her as soon as possible..."

The snow was falling, and there was a sudden sound of creaking footsteps behind her. Cen Huan's eyes instantly filled with black evil, he drew his sword, turned around, and the Silver Bird Sword pierced the air like a piercing lightning.

"what……"

The sharp blade instantly cut off half of his black hair, and a panicked girl broke into Cen Huan's sight.

"... Heroine, spare your life!"

Yuan Tong'er said in panic.

The light-colored pupils sparkled in the sky, as clear as golden amber.

Cen Huan's heart tightened, his eyes full of black evil seemed to freeze for an instant, and the hand holding the Silver Bird Sword dropped.

"you……"

She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. Tears fell like broken beads.

Yuan Tong'er was even more panicked. The one being pointed at by the sword was herself. Why did the other party cry first?

"...Why, why are you still crying?"

There was no handkerchief on her body, Yuan Tong'er was at a loss and in the end she only asked softly.

Cen Huan was dressed in a simple black dress, and her black hair was only tied up with a hair tie. Cool and natural.

She stood on the corridor with a silver sword in hand, her clothes flying, and snow falling on her face. Her almond-shaped eyes, which were slightly longer than Yuan Tong'er, were blurred to the point where she couldn't see clearly.

Yuan Tong'er didn't know what was wrong, he clearly couldn't remember her, but seeing her sad made her feel sad too. Then he slowly took a step forward.

"What's your name?"

Cen Huan said nothing, and Yuan Tong'er continued: "Why, I feel... I seem to have seen you somewhere..."

The snow is falling more and more, covering the sky and earth like qionghua and broken jade.

Cen Huan opened his mouth, but the voice came from behind Yuan Tong'er.

"Why are you up?"

Yuan Tong'er turned around and saw Qu Baiyu wearing a dark gold black fox fur coming from the flying snow.

The feet are like the wind, noble as the moon.

As he spoke, he came to Yuan Tong'er's side and put the fox fur on her body.

There were large snowflakes on his unusually handsome face, but there was a faint arc on his lips, which made people feel trance-like.

"You haven't recovered yet, so you can't take any time off?"

He talks softly to her like a close couple.

Yuan Tong'er lowered her eyes and didn't want to look at him. He only made her feel hypocritical.

Probably aware of Yuan Tong'er's emotions, Qu Baiyu let go of his hand and didn't say anything more, just letting Xu Hui take her back.

The case was found in the palace, so I went to the palace to ask for an order. Taking Cen Huan and Cui Xiaoyi with them, Qu Baiyu and Liu Luobai entered the palace together.

Thinking of Yuan Tong'er lowering her eyes and looking away at him, Qu Baiyu felt inexplicably irritable in his heart. Lifting the curtain, the carriage unknowingly arrived at the giant sycamore tree.

The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and under an old butter paper umbrella, a man dressed in white stood in the snow.

"Isn't that the fourth prince?"

Master Liu noticed Yuan Wu under the giant sycamore tree and hurriedly stopped the carriage. He bowed to Yuan Wu and said, "It's snowing heavily today, why is Your Highness guarding here?"

Snowflakes were falling, and the color of the snow reflected the human face, making Yuan Wu's already fair face even more transparent.

The corners of his mouth curved in an arc, very gently, and he said: "Waiting for someone."

"It's snowing heavily. I'm afraid no one will come. Your Highness, Fourth Prince, be careful and go back early."

Qu Baiyu felt even more unhappy when he thought of the agreement between Yuan Wu and Yuan Tong'er yesterday.

Yuan Wu shook his head, his clear eyes were so pure that they contained no distracting thoughts, and they were so gentle that they seemed to be able to tolerate everything.

"Brother Yu Wang, there is no need to persuade her. I have to wait for her. If I leave and she comes, wouldn't it be a breach of trust?"

Qu Baiyu took a deep breath, "What if she doesn't come? How long will Your Highness wait?"

Yuan Wu stagnated slightly, his clear eyes lowered.

"If she doesn't come...

I always have to wait to find out if she is coming. "
