Crown Princess

Gu Jixiang left, and couldn't wait for the enthronement ceremony, so he asked to be transferred to the west. When he left, the sky was about to light up, and the weather with light rain was very similar to the day when he and Bailuo were farewell in Jianzhou.

Bai Luo was standing on the high wall of the imperial city, watching Gu Jixiang waving at her, the sourness in his breath was unbearable, he didn't want to say goodbye to her for the last time, just waved his hand, and got on the carriage .

treasure……

Unspeakably bleak, watching the old carriage gradually leave, Bailuo recalled the little things of these years in a trance, Gu Jixiang, a good teacher and helpful friend, helped her too much.

It was misty and rainy, until a bright yellow oil-paper umbrella covered the top of her head, and Bai Luo came back to her senses. Looking sideways, it turned out to be Wei Mingzhen, and she couldn't help being a little stunned.

"Why are you here? Didn't you say you're going to deal with government affairs?"

Wei Mingzhen, who had never put on makeup, was still glamorous, with her black eyebrows slightly raised, she looked down the tower.It wasn't until there was the sound of horse hooves that Bai Luo saw another figure passing through the gate of the imperial city, and reined in the horse to stop under the city wall.

"Nan Ye?"

Looking at Nan Ye, who was dressed in a black dress and had long hair pulled back with a jade crown, Bai Luo was very surprised.The rain was getting heavier, but he got off his horse, knelt down to Wei Mingzhen on the city wall, and kowtowed heavily.

"What does he mean?" Inevitably, Bai Luo saw the burden on the horse.

Wei Mingzhen's face was expressionless, he only waved to Nan Ye who was kneeling in the rain, and then slowly closed his phoenix eyes.

Even though it was far away, Bai Luo could see that Nan Ye was very different today, without her usual sleazy aura, she was uncharacteristically capable, got on her horse, and chased in the direction where Gu Jixiang left just now. Soon one person and one horse disappeared in the hazy rain.

"He, is he chasing brother Jixiang?"

Nanye's recent changes towards Gu Jixiang, she more or less saw it in her eyes, whether it was true or not, she couldn't see clearly, but unexpectedly he would give up Wei Mingzhen today and follow Gu Jixiang, which made her feel very sad. She was more curious again, what happened between them.

Standing on the top of the high imperial city, you can see the appearance of Tiandu city beyond the horizon at a glance. The inner and outer city of Suzaku Xuanwu, shrouded in continuous drizzle, has an orderly layout and is extremely solemn. This is the place under the feet of the emperor. capital.

"Back then, I was sent away from here, and my concubine was also standing in this position, but she cried very sadly. At that time, I was drugged and I couldn't make a sound, so I couldn't call her last With a sound, I heard from the old man in the palace that I couldn't walk for a while before she hit the wall and committed suicide."

Bai Luo was shocked, Wei Mingzhen's voice was too soft, if she hadn't been more sensitive, these murmurs would have fallen with the drizzle, looking at the one-meter-high parapet, it was hard for her to imagine how it was back then. The scene that happened here.

The people beside her were still so cold, but the tall figure was already surrounded by loneliness. Bai Luo subconsciously stretched out her hand, and always hesitated when she was about to touch it. She wanted to comfort Wei Mingzhen, but she couldn't help it. Can't get over the hurdle in my heart.

She suddenly recalled that during those days in the cave, what Wei Mingzhen had inadvertently revealed about her past was because she was sent out of the imperial city back then, and she spent the next few years in such misery, falling into the snake den, He was also planted with life and death Gu...

Without thinking too much, she held her hand. At that moment, something seemed to be broken. The unprecedented joy came from Bai Luo's heart. She finally found this familiar feeling again.

Her warmth met her coldness, and the two intertwined. Wei Mingzhen, who had been numb for too long, seemed to feel the heat, walked out of her memories, looked at Bai Luo beside her, narrowed her phoenix eyes, and occasionally The light of contentment flickered.

"Stand with me a little longer."

On that day, the two were rarely at peace. They stood hand in hand on the top of the city for a long time. Although they didn't say a word, it was the closest time they got close to each other...

That night, when Bai Luo received a family letter from Lang Qi, she realized that her father was approaching Tiandu. There was a hint of success between the lines, and she even explicitly stated the contract with her mother, which completely chilled Bai Luo's heart.

Sitting on the low couch, she sighed slowly, what was supposed to come finally came.

"Junior sister, let's leave as soon as possible. Master said that my uncle has been dormant for too long, so I won't be lenient this time. Besides, I have observed His Highness Wei's body recently, and it seems that it is not as good as before. I think it is the end of the life and death Gu. Soon..."

"impossible!"

Bailuo's eyes widened, and the brocade family letter in her hand had been crumpled into a ball. She had been with Wei Mingzhen these days, but found that her complexion was getting haggard day by day, nothing else, how could it be It looks like the oil is running out!

Lang Qi is not a cruel person, he can see that Bai Luo cares, but he can't bear it, so he can only twitch his handsome eyebrows and say: "If you don't believe me, then quietly check the handkerchief she used recently, if the blood turns black, you will know What I said was true."

After being reminded by him, Bai Luo's face suddenly changed. No wonder Wei Mingzhen coughed dryly while covering her mouth more and more in recent days. In fact, she should know without checking.

"Is there no way to save her?"

"I searched all over the medical arts, but I couldn't find a solution. The source of this poisonous poison is unknown. You can first ask who her master is, find the root cause, and hope it can be bigger."

Bai Luo's heart was unprecedentedly heavy. It stands to reason that she should hate Wei Mingzhen for being forcibly confined in the palace, but when she thought of her dying, her heart couldn't control the pain.

This strange discomfort is the same as the irrepressible joy in the morning, they are all feelings from the heart, which she is quietly familiar with.

Where did Wei Mingzhen learn from?When Bai Luo was in the cave that day, Bai Luo had asked tentatively, but Wei Mingzhen avoided talking about it, today Bai Luo deliberately asked again, only Wei Mingzhen became suspicious.

"I haven't seen her for many years. As for her origin, I don't know very well. I only know that she is not from Central Earth."

It's not that she was deliberately perfunctory, but Wei Mingzhen also met this verbal master by chance.She saved her that day, planted life and death Gu on her body, and left behind a team of secret guards who could not see the end of the dragon. , but it has always been in vain.

Just after speaking, Wei Mingzhen felt a sweet and fishy smell welling up in her throat, she subconsciously covered her thin lips and began to cough dryly, she really didn't want to be exposed in front of Bai Luo, after a few times of holding back, a mouthful of blood was finally sprayed on her face. On the Jinlong case.

——If the blood turns black, you will know the truth of what I said.

Bai Luo watched the black blood dripping on the memorial, couldn't sit still, took out a silk from her bosom and handed it to Wei Mingzhen, and ran to her side.

"It's come to this point, why didn't you tell me?"

Her voice was trembling with anger, so why not Wei Mingzhen, her slender five fingers soaked with blood were grabbing the white handkerchief, before wiping the blood flying from her lips, she evoked a sinister and lonely smile.

"Tell you? I'm afraid if I tell you, you will never come back..."

In the end, she was still afraid that she would leave. The life-death Gu, since the day it was planted, would get worse with age every year. I keep this life in my heart, and I just wait until the revenge is over before I go.

But later, she became concerned. Over the years, every time she thought of Bai Luo, who didn't remember her, her desire for life became stronger.It's a pity that even now, she might not last long.

"My only regret is that I am afraid that you will never remember me again."

Leaning over the table, Wei Mingzhen stretched out his hand with difficulty, and his blood-stained fingers landed on Bai Luo's cheek, which was the warmth she had missed for many years.Even though she knew her life was not long, she still selfishly locked her by her side, and even despicably hoped that Bai Luo could remember everything, so that even if she left, she would remember her forever...

"You crazy woman!"

Bai Luo waved away Wei Mingzhen's powerless hand with tears in her eyes, the coldness from the bottom of her heart made her angry and uncomfortable, when she got up, she saw her smiling, the smile outlined on her beautiful lips was extremely sinister.

This time, the departure of Gu Jixiang and Nanye caused both Bailuo and Wei Mingzhen to lose a general. Seeing the situation getting worse, the only person Bailuo could trust in the huge palace was Several.

Looking at Wei Mingzhen who was still in a coma, she rubbed her swollen and sore temples, and her eyes, which had not slept all night, were very dry and uncomfortable.

"I'm going to leave the palace later. The news of her coma must not spread. No matter who comes, just find an excuse to pass by."

Lang Qi was still administering the needles, and he had expected Bai Luo's decision, so he couldn't help but remind him: "It seems that the days when the poisonous Gu attacks are becoming more and more frequent, we must find the person who caused the poisonous poison as soon as possible."

And Bai Xiaoduo, ever since she saw the hickey marks under Bai Luo's skirt that day, she felt unspeakable resistance to Wei Mingzhen, she couldn't help curling her lips and said: "Miss, if you insist on doing things like this, the master will be angry .”

Bailuo's face was gloomy for a moment, she saw that Bai Xiaoduo was about to speak, but unexpectedly the little girl waved her hand, as if she had made up her mind.

"Forget it, for so many years, I have been following you, miss, and I will do so in the future. I just hope that in the future, miss will not regret it."

Only Bailuo knew that when she carried Wei Mingzhen back to the East Palace last night, she had confirmed too many things.

When the emperor passed away, there was a one-year national mourning. Every household hung up white lanterns, and Duke Rong's mansion was no exception. After getting off the carriage, Bai Luo entered the mansion under the astonished eyes of the housekeeper.

It wasn't until she saw many acquaintances along the way that she realized that she was not the first one to visit today.

"Miss, the general has returned."

Da Liang, who had followed her for many years, reported the news as soon as he saw her. From the cautiousness of his subordinates, Bai Luo could feel helplessness, her father...

When she left Duke Rong's mansion, Bai Luo fantasized more than once that one day the reunion would be a scene of crying and laughing, but it would never be as cold as it is today, as if a disagreement would change the situation drastically.

Bai Jin, who was standing on the curved corridor, seemed to have just come here, and she was not surprised when she met Bai Luo, and approached with a smile as usual with that gentle appearance.

"Why is A Luo back?"

Bai Luo put her hands behind her back and smiled, just like before, calling out: "Sister."
