There was blood at the corner of Xiao Jun's mouth, slowly flowing out.

He could clearly feel that his life force was rapidly fading away.

He is not afraid of death, but he can no longer help the girl!

He looked up at the sky, and there was a full moon above the alley.

On the left edge of the roof, he saw a black cat.

The black cat's eyes glowed brightly in the night.

Is this the cat that Tian Ruomo raised?

A smile crossed his lips, and he said in his heart, "If you have a spirit, take my words to your master!"

[If I were still alive, I would do my best to protect her, but unfortunately, I am about to die. ]

[Tell her not to stay in the capital, escape from the capital, and hide somewhere where no one is. Those people will not let her go! ]

Just as Xiao Jun finished speaking in his heart, a voice suddenly came into his ears.

"Xiao Jun, why are you so nice to her?"

"In order to protect her, you are willing to sacrifice your life?"

Xiao Jun looked around the alley and didn't see anyone!

Only the black cat standing on the edge of the roof was staring at him with burning eyes!

Could it be that this black cat was talking to him?

He felt like he was hallucinating!

It is normal to have some hallucinations before dying.

A wry smile appeared on his face. It was a blessing to be able to confide his feelings to a cat that might have been raised by Tian Ruomo before he died.

【Why are you so nice to her? 】

[It’s simple, because, in my life, she is the only one who has ever given me warmth. ]

That voice sounded in his ears again, "How could that be? You also have a mother, a brother, and a father!"

"Didn't they ever give you...the so-called warmth?"

When Xiao Jun heard this, the smile on his face became even wider, but his eyes were extremely bitter.

[The royal family talking about tenderness is a joke. If one day my father showed special care for any of his children, even if he just smiled, it would mean that someone would be unable to sleep.]

The voice sounded again, "Don't you still have a mother?"

Mother?

Xiao Jun's smile disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a deep sadness in his eyes.

【Brother Cat! 】

Hearing this name spoken by Xiao Jun in his heart, Xiao Mei couldn't help but complain, "Please, Xiao Mei is Sister Cat!"

Xiao Jun was stunned for a moment, then looked at the black cat on the edge of the roof!

It turned out to be an illusion. He actually had a conversation with the black cat in his mind!

[Sorry, Sister Cat! ]

Xiao Jun closed his eyes, and the sadness in his eyes suddenly shifted to his heart.

[Can you imagine a mother poisoning her own son to silence him in order to frame another woman who was competing with her for her husband and status? ]

Tian Rumo and Xiaomei were both startled, and Xiao Jun heard another voice in his ears.

"You can't speak, isn't it because of illness?"

Xiao Jun felt that this voice was very familiar, different from the previous voice, however, he did not think much about it.

[That was the Royal Family's blackmail news. The fact is, she brought the poison to me, but I refused to drink it and turned to run away. She caught me and claimed that this was her only chance, so she forced the poison into my mouth!]

[That time, I was lucky enough to keep my life, but I became a mute, and she successfully overthrew my father's favorite concubine, who was eventually hanged in the harem for poisoning the prince! ]

[Because I became a mute, my father promoted her to be the Imperial Noble Consort, second only to the Queen, in order to comfort her! ]

【At that time, I was only five years old! 】

Both Tian Rumo and Xiaomei were silent!

The surroundings seem particularly quiet!

[It’s Momo... No, she’s the Emperor’s sister-in-law now! ]

Tian Ruomo heard Xiao Jun's inner voice again, [It was she who, in my darkest hour, walked towards me against the crowd and stretched out her little hand to me! ]

In his mind, he recalled the time when he was attending classes in the imperial academy with princes, princesses, and children of famous ministers and nobles, and was ostracized and ridiculed by the other princes, who mocked him for pretending to listen even though he could not speak.

Even Xiao Yan did not stand up to defend him. Only that thin figure stood in front of him, fiercely criticizing the princes and the children of nobles.

In the end, he waved his little fists and fought with the prince who led the fight. Even after being punished, he continued to shout at people.

Many memories of his time with Tian Ruomo flashed quickly through his mind, and each one made him feel so beautiful!

A smile slowly appeared on his pale face!

【She is my light, illuminating my dark heart! 】

[She protected me before, I have no choice but to protect her with my life! ]

More and more blood flowed from the corners of Xiao Jun's mouth, and his consciousness became increasingly blurred.

At the moment when he was about to fall into darkness, he opened his tightly closed eyes and saw that familiar figure standing in front of him.

He said in his heart, "Momo, even though it was an illusion, it's great that I can see you before I die!"

He instinctively reached out his hand towards Tian Rumo, thinking that he would definitely grab nothing, but surprisingly, his hand was caught by a soft little hand.

[Hallucination... so real! ]

Then, his eyes went dark and he completely lost consciousness!

Tian Ruomo quickly pressed several acupoints on Xiao Jun's chest, locking his last bit of life and stopping his internal and external bleeding.

Tian Ruomo moved her hands to push aside the clothes on Xiao Jun's chest, and was about to use a special method to remove the short arrow that was stuck in his chest.

Suddenly, a sound of breaking through the air came from behind.

Tian Rumo suddenly raised her hand and grabbed the arrow that shot at her back. Then, a red figure rushed in front of her and kicked Tian Rumo with a whip kick!

Tian Rumo was forced to take a few steps back, and then several people in red clothes and wearing ghost masks rushed over, slashing with their swords, forcing Tian Rumo to retreat again. They stopped when they were four or five feet away from Xiao Jun.

Tian Rumo knew that they were Xiao Jun's subordinates, so she didn't fight back and frowned.

"What are you going to do?"

These people did not answer Tian Rumo's words. The leader took off the ghost mask and turned out to be Du Hu, the commander of the guards of Prince Chu's Palace.

When Du Hu saw Xiao Jun's look, he had already panicked. He fell to his knees in front of Xiao Jun and reached out to feel Xiao Jun's breath.

The first time, he couldn't believe it and went to explore again!

Afterwards, Du Hu collapsed to the ground!

"Master...is dead?"

The people who were confronting Tian Rumo were shocked at the same time and turned their heads to look. Only then did they see clearly that Xiao Jun had a short arrow stuck in his chest, the blood at the corner of his mouth had not yet dried, and he was already motionless.

Seeing Du Hu's dazed look, they naturally thought that Xiao Jun was dead and stood there stiffly.

"Don't worry, he's not dead yet. I can save him!"

not dead?

Du Hu tried to check Xiao Jun's breath again, but there was no breath.

Du Hu was disappointed again!

His master is really dead!

His eyes were red as he glared at Tian Ruomo and gritted his teeth, "Princess Qi, you killed our master!"
