Frost shines on Qingcheng

Know the meaning behind that sentence—if she escapes again, her bones will probably be buried in this desert.

Although life in Jingmingxuan was peaceful, no one in the inner city dared to get too close to her.She was both curious and afraid of Lu Qingrong, she never dared to approach her, and Lu Qingrong didn't like her either.She could only see Lu Qingrong secretly when she passed by here occasionally, or learn some news about her from the maid's comments on Lu Qingrong.

That day Jingzheng was strangled by Lu Qingrong, the contrast between Lu Qingrong's warm blood and her cold hands, she still remembers that feeling.It was frightening and dangerous, but the cold fragrance on Lu Qingrong's body made her feel very exciting.She has been in Shahai for three years, and she has never seen Lu Qingrong's real face. She really doesn't know what kind of face is under the veil...

Jing Zheng shook her head violently, startled by her own thoughts.What is she thinking?Why is there such an abnormal idea?She quickly ran back to Jingmingxuan, holding on to the door frame, panting.

"Where have you been?"

Before Jing Zheng could calm down, he was startled by this sentence.She turned her head and met Shang Lu Qingrong's coquettish eyes: "Young...young master..."

Lu Qingrong looked directly at her: "Do you know Shen Shuangzhao?"

Jing Zheng shook her head, then thought about the girl who was brought back a few days ago, she nodded again.

Lu Qingrong: "She will continue to stay in Jingmingxuan for the next few days, and I will also come over. If you feel noisy, you can ask Huanhong to change rooms for you." She spoke very calmly, as if the person who pinched Jingzheng's neck that day People are not her.

"I'm just a prisoner. I'm very grateful to be able to live here. How dare I pick and choose?" Jing Zheng said more and more quietly, observing Lu Qingrong's expression from the corner of his eye.

Lu Qingrong sneered, as if laughing that she was still obsessed with her identity as a citizen of Shuilan City, but she didn't say much, and walked straight to the east room.

Shen Shuangzhao has been tortured by the boundless water for the past few days, but fortunately her face has almost recovered.Lu Qingrong would visit her almost every day.

"Shen Shuangzhao, I just hope that you will wake up when I come over." Lu Qingrong stood in front of Shen Shuangzhao's bed, looking at the unconscious Shen Shuangzhao with raised lips.

Most of Shen Shuangzhao's face has healed, only the parts where the skin and flesh were corroded most severely before are still a little mutilated.

Seeing that her lips were dry, Lu Qingrong sat on the side of the bed, moistened her lips with some water, and said in a regretful tone: "It's a pity that you are so lethargic..." Before she finished speaking, Shen Shuang took a picture of her. He opened his mouth, as if thirsting for more water.

Lu Qingrong froze, holding her breath, waiting for Shen Shuangzhao's reaction.Shen Shuangzhao opened and closed her lips, not getting enough moisture made her feel extremely uncomfortable.She half-opened her eyes with difficulty, and vaguely saw a veiled woman.

She was not fully conscious yet, and subconsciously stretched out her hand to grab the person in front of her.It's a pity that her strength couldn't support her for too long, and after scrambling in the air, her hand quickly fell weakly.

Lu Qingrong grasped her drooping hand in the air, and his fingers happened to touch something on her wrist.Lu Qingrong's gaze was taken away by this little red and silver thing, she pondered for a moment, then pulled her lips and teased: "Huanhong, go and find Doctor Ge, the medicinal power of this boundless water should wear off."

---------------------------------------------------------

Shen Shuangzhao was in a coma, so naturally she didn't know that the people in Qingshuang Palace were going crazy because of her.

"Nanyan, it's been several days, we can't wait any longer." Xiaotao was restless, and Shen Shuangzhao didn't come back for a day, so she couldn't sleep or eat.

Nan Yan was more hopeless than her, almost crying: "Can't wait? But where can we go to find Miss Shen?" The city lord will definitely come by tomorrow at the latest.At that time, how should they explain to the city lord?

"Miss Sang hasn't sent anyone to send a message. I'm afraid it's... I'm afraid it's..." Xiaotao didn't dare to say the four words "more than good, less good". If something happened to Shen Shuangzhao, they wouldn't be able to live.

Nan Yan said: "Miss Sang... Do you think Miss Sang didn't send anyone to look for her at all? She has never tolerated Miss Shen, and she had a feud with Miss Shen a few days ago."

"You're right." Xiaotao frowned, "Let's go to Miss Tang. If she can't do anything...then we can only confess to the city lord."

Nan Yan was afraid of death, but now, they had no way out.

They went to Menglin Academy to find Tang Mengxuan, but luckily she was there.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Tang Mengxuan asked reproachfully after learning the whole story from them.

"Miss Sang said before that she would send someone to look for it, but there is no news of Miss Shen." Xiaotao defended.

Tang Mengxuan listened, pursed her lips tightly, and said after a while: "I'll go out of the city immediately to find out about Shuangzhao. Also, remember, in the future, try not to tell Sangzhao about Shuangzhao, whether it is good or bad. elm."

"Yes." The two maids felt relieved, and went back to guard Tang Mengxuan's words.Tang Mengxuan was sincerely good to Shen Shuangzhao, she said she would go if she wanted to.

Tang Mengxuan thought about it, analyzed the maid's words, and went straight out of the city to the ferry.

The old man who punted on the river was forced by Shen Shuangzhao with a sword last time, he hid at home for two days before he dared to come out to work again.He saw another young and beautiful girl and several attendants at the ferry, and he became frightened again.These days, why do girls like this keep appearing?They are beautiful, but they are all troublesome, so it is better to avoid them.

Tang Mengxuan saw the old man turning around furtively and wanted to leave, so she decided that he had a ghost in his heart, and quickly stepped forward and grabbed his clothes.

"Ouch, girl, what are you doing?" the old man called out anxiously.

Tang Mengxuan's attitude was fierce: "Why are you running?"

The old man explained: "It's scary for such a big group of you to hold knives and swords. Can I, an old man, not run away?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Let me ask you two or three days ago, did you take a girl who was about my height and a few years younger than me to Qingcheng?" Tang Mengxuan

The old man said: "Yes, yes... There is another girl who is walking with her. When I was approaching the bank of Qingcheng River, I saw many guards standing on the bank of the river. I was afraid and wanted to turn back, but what you said The girl insisted that I carry another girl across the river, and she threatened me with a sword. I had no choice but to carry another girl across the river."

Tang Mengxuan was shocked. If this was the case, it would be troublesome: "Then what about the girl I mentioned? Didn't she come back?"

"This... She also went to Qingcheng." When the old man came back, he deliberately didn't take Shen Shuang's photos back. He was afraid that Tang Mengxuan would embarrass him, so he panicked, "I have been resting at home for the past few days, and I am the only support on the river Boat, unless the girl swims back, she must be in Qingcheng."

Tang Mengxuan cried out inwardly that it was not good, and hurriedly pushed the old man away and rushed to the inner city.

After returning to the inner city, she hurried to the main hall.It was just that he was stopped by Sang Yu on the way.

"I heard you left the city?" Sang Yu asked.

Tang Mengxuan glared at her: "I was about to ask you, you knew that Shuangzhao was gone a few days ago, why didn't you tell me?"

"What's the use of telling you?" Sang Yu turned cold and asked back.

"Okay. Let me ask you again. Nanyan and Xiaotao said that you sent someone to look for Shuangzhao. Is that why you fooled them?"

Sang Yu plausibly said: "I am a big sister, I keep my word, and there is no such thing as you said."

Tang Mengxuan snorted coldly: "Then you have gained something?"

"I just got the news that my junior sister was caught by Zhao Yueyao and locked up in Qingcheng prison." Sang Yu replied.

"What?" Two voices sounded at the same time, Tang Mengxuan and Sang Yu turned around, only to see Shen Wanrong standing not far behind.

The author has something to say:

☆, grievances

"Master." Compared to Shen Wanrong's shock, Tang Mengxuan and Sang Yu were much more frightened.

Shen Wanrong walked over quickly and questioned: "Is what you just said true?"

Sang Yu's heart trembled, fearing that Shen Wanrong would see through her true face towards Shen Shuangzhao, she knelt down: "It's my fault, I didn't tell Master about it in time."

Seeing this, Tang Mengxuan also knelt down.

"I just want to ask you, is it true that you said that Shuang'er was captured by Zhao Yueyao?" Shen Wanrong asked anxiously.

Sang Yu and Tang Mengxuan looked at each other, and Sang Yu said softly: "It's true... A few days ago, my junior sister went out of the inner city privately to meet her friends. Later... Later I found out that my junior sister took that Someone sent her back to Qingcheng, but she was caught by Zhao Yueyao for some reason. The spies sent to Qingcheng said that the younger sister was locked in the prison and suffered a lot of torture."

"Torture?" Shen Wanrong seemed to have suffered a great blow, she couldn't help taking a few steps back, Xue Qing supported her.

Tang Mengxuan: "Master, what should we do now?"

Shen Wanrong was annoyed and angry, her heart was in a mess, and it took her a long time to calm down.She thought for a while, and the emotion on her face returned to calm, but what she said was unexpected: "She didn't listen to me, and stepped into Qingcheng without telling me."

Sang Yu lowered her head, and vaguely heard the meaning of her words.

"I said that if she goes to Qingcheng privately again, my relationship with her as a teacher and apprentice will end here." Shen Wanrong's tone was indifferent, and her expression was terribly cold and serious, "Shuang'er made such a choice, then I don't have to go back on my word."

Xue Qing was so anxious that she couldn't believe that Shen Wanrong, who had always loved Shen Shuangzhao the most, would say such words. She couldn't bear it, and persuaded: "City Lord! Even though Shuang'er was wrong, she is still a citizen of Shuilan City. From a human perspective, we also have a responsibility to protect the citizens of the city.”

"Master, junior sister has always been well-behaved and obedient. I heard the old man crossing the river say that she was going to see off a friend, but the Qingcheng River was full of Qingcheng's guards. I think junior sister must have fallen into Zhao Yueyao's trick. She didn't intentionally break her promise to herself. Going to Qingcheng." Tang Mengxuan also pleaded, "Master, look at your younger sister's thoughts, and now she is in danger, how can you not save her?"

Everyone present knelt down, and Sang Yu lowered her head, but she just hooked the corners of her mouth and said nothing.

But no matter what the people around her persuaded, Shen Wanrong seemed to be determined, stubbornly uncompromising: "Enough!" She shouted, "I don't need you to teach me how to do it." When angry.All the people present were silent and did not dare to speak again.

"No one is allowed to meddle in this matter. If I find out which of you slipped out to save her, don't blame me for turning my back on you." After Shen Wanrong finished speaking sharply, she left the group of people kneeling on the ground and walked away.

Seeing this, Xue Qingruodie and others hurriedly got up and caught up with Shen Wanrong.

Tang Mengxuan and Shen Shuangzhao have a good relationship, and she is the most anxious at this juncture.She got up from the ground, Sang Yu saw her thoughts, and put her arms around her shoulders: "Where are you going?"

"Shuangzhao is dangerous, I can't let her go."

Sang Yu sneered: "She's dangerous? Didn't she take the blame for her falling into what she is today? And didn't you hear what Master said? Do you want to be kicked out by Master too?"

Tang Mengxuan's eyes were red, and she was worried: "I have been with Shuangzhao for many years, if she dies like this, what should I do?"

Sadness flashed across Sang Yu's eyes: "Then I am the one who is in trouble today?"

Tang Mengxuan froze, and before she could answer, she was interrupted by Sang Yu's irritated words: "Okay, I won't be as stupid as her. Don't touch some taboos that shouldn't be touched." She held Tang Mengxuan's hand tightly , "Little junior sister is already in prison, I will not let Zhao Yueyao threaten Master with one more bargaining chip. I will watch over you for a few days, so you don't want to go out of the city!"

Tang Mengxuan burst into tears, and suddenly threw herself into Sang Yu's arms: "Don't Shuangzhao die, she is the only one in the inner city who spoils me and cares about me without evil intentions, she treats me sincerely..." Shen Shuangzhao didn't love her Laughing, she doesn't talk much, but she is willing to do many things with Tang Mengxuan, even though sometimes she is not enthusiastic about the things Tang Mengxuan likes.

"Aren't I?" Sang Yu asked back, seeing that her face was about to turn angry.

Tang Mengxuan looked at her with tears in her eyes: "You have bad intentions..." She knew Sang Yu's "bad intentions".

Sangyu was stuck in her throat, she stared at Tang Mengxuan with complicated eyes for a long time, and her tone became stiff again: "Follow me back, you don't want to run around."

Tang Mengxuan cried so much that pear blossoms rained, and one thousand and ten thousand were dragged away unwillingly.

into the night—

The main hall was still brightly lit, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze.From the afternoon till now, Shen Wanrong didn't drink a drop of water and remained silent.

Ruodie knew that she was worrying about Shen Shuangzhao, but she felt sorry for her. Just as she was about to speak, Shen Wanrong said, "I'm tired..."

"City Lord, you haven't eaten all day, do you want to eat something before going to bed?" Ruodee asked.

Shen Wanrong shook her head: "No need."

Xueqing and Ruodee looked at each other, with unconcealable worry between their brows, but in the end they waited for Shen Wanrong to go back to the dormitory to rest.

The night became thicker and thicker, and the city and the outside seemed extraordinarily quiet.Zhao Yueyao has not been able to sleep these days and nights, and at night he meditates in the pavilion by the lotus pond.

Tonight, as usual, she retreated from the maid guards and sat alone in the pavilion.Holding the longevity lock in the palm of her hand, her fingertips delicately caressed the lines on it.Shen Wanrong...Zhao Yueyao read this name, and a glass of wine fell into her throat, feeling an indescribable pleasure.

With a sound of "whoosh", Zhao Yueyao saw a dart "boom" inserted into the pillar in the pavilion.She stood up vigilantly, but no one was around. She pulled out the dart with a piece of paper tied on it.

"See you in the bamboo forest behind Rongyuexuan." The inscription is "Wan Rong".

I don't know if it's because of the alcohol, or because of those two words, Zhao Yueyao felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling.Her eyes were red with bloodthirsty excitement.After several days of sleepless nights, she finally got the result she wanted.

She dropped the wine glass, took the silver sword and hurried to the appointment.



In the bamboo forest behind Rongyuexuan, the moonlight shrouded it, and it was pierced into several pieces by the lush bamboo.

There are still several steps away from the bamboo forest, but Zhao Yueyao saw the figure of that person from a long distance away.

"You broke your promise." Zhao Yueyao said slowly.

Shen Wanrong opened her eyes suddenly, but there was no fluctuation in her words, she said: "Isn't this exactly the result you want? Threat me with my most beloved disciple."

Zhao Yueyao approached step by step, and what he said seemed to be wrong: "You asked me to meet in this bamboo forest, it seems that you still remember the time when we were here in the past."

Shen Wanrong felt a sense of melancholy, she and Zhao Yueyao had been playmates since childhood, they were like sisters.At that time, Shuilan City and Qingcheng had not yet split, Shen Wanrong was the only heir of the old city lord, Zhao Yueyao was the general's daughter, they often practiced swords and read in the bamboo forest behind Rongyuexuan.

The two are about the same age, she is two years older than Zhao Yueyao, so she tries to give way to Zhao Yueyao in everything.At that time, Zhao Yueyao was also well-behaved and smart, willing to get close to her.

I thought they would be close sisters in this life, but I didn't expect that the relationship between the two broke down when Shen Wanrong fell in love with Chu Xingzhi.Shen Wanrong regards Zhao Yueyao as her younger sister, and happily tells her that she is going to be engaged to the son of the Chu family who is in love with each other.I thought that Zhao Yueyao would also be happy for her, but Zhao Yueyao was furious and asked her why she did this.

"I agree with Xingzhi and I belong to the same family. My father and Xingzhi's parents both approve of this marriage. Thinking that I have also reached the age of marriage, I decided to get engaged and then choose an auspicious date for marriage. Is there anything wrong with this?" ?" The 16-year-old Shen Wanrong didn't understand Zhao Yueyao's mood.

Zhao Yueyao was speechless, married?How could her sister Wanrong marry someone else?How can Chu Xingzhi monopolize Shen Wanrong?

"No! Anyway, no!" Zhao Yueyao protested loudly, she didn't know how to express her thoughts, so she could only throw the question to Shen Wanrong, "How can you get married?"

Shen Wanrong was baffled by her overreaction, and went forward to hold Zhao Yueyao's hand, but was pushed away by the other party.

"I absolutely don't allow it!" Zhao Yueyao threw down a word and ran away.

Shen Wanrong only thought that she was reluctant to marry herself, and didn't think too much about it. After all, at that time, she was still excited about being able to be with her sweetheart.

For the next few days, Zhao Yueyao hid from Shen Wanrong, and she didn't even see Zhao Yueyao at the engagement banquet.This situation continued until Shen Wanrong and Chu Xingzhi's wedding ceremony.

Shen Wanrong is both talented and beautiful, and she is the daughter of the city lord; Chu Xingzhi is the son of a general, capable of both literature and martial arts, and has a good appearance.The two are a match made in heaven no matter how they look at it, but they don't want Zhao Yueyao, who hasn't shown up for a long time during the couple's worship, to break into the main hall, and even declare that they are not allowed to get married.

When such an accident occurred at the wedding, everyone present was shocked.In the end, it was Zhao Yueyao's father who ordered her to be detained and gave her a hard lesson.In short, despite the turmoil on the day of their marriage, Shen Wanrong and Chu Xingzhi still married.

Zhao Yueyao did this, Shen Wanrong didn't blame her, she just thought she was young and ignorant.Until one day, when Shen Wanrong told Zhao Yueyao that she had Chu Xingzhi's child, the long-suppressed jealousy in Zhao Yueyao's heart finally broke out like a prairie fire.

She told Shen Wanrong loudly that she was not simply a sister to her, she loved her, and she thought she loved Shen Wanrong thousands of times more than Chu Xingzhi.

Shen Wanrong was greatly frightened, how could there be such a relationship between a woman and a woman?She trembled, she refused, and for a moment she couldn't accept that her younger sister, who had been with her since she was a child, had such thoughts about her.

Zhao Yueyao's heart was broken, and she seemed to be a different person since then.Chu Xingzhi is a thorn in her side, and the child in Shen Wanrong's belly is even more evil that she cannot tolerate.

Shen Wanrong recovered from her memories, if she had the chance to do it all over again, she would definitely not reject Zhao Yueyao so bluntly that day.It's not because she has a strange feeling for Zhao Yueyao, but because she doesn't want to stimulate Zhao Yueyao.If she is not stimulated, maybe there will be no subsequent series of changes.

"Do you know? If Chu Xingzhi's evil seed hadn't died, I would really have thought that Shen Shuangzhao was her." Zhao Yueyao said coldly.

Shen Wanrong clenched her fists, unable to bear it any longer, she asked her furiously: "Why are you so cruel, even me and Xingzhi's children are not spared?"

Shen Wanrong was in Rongyuexuan on the day the child was born, and it was at the time of the coup in the city.Because of Zhao Yueyao's betrayal, the rebel minister Lu Yuanzheng and General Ling's army entered the city, broke through and occupied Qingcheng.

Zhao Yueyao's father saw that Qingcheng was powerless to save him, so he had to take a step back to defend Shuilan City, while Chu Xingzhi continued to resist in front.

Shen Wanrong suddenly had to give birth before leaving, and Zhao Yueyao and the rebels had already rushed over, and Chu Xingzhi took his only remaining team of dead soldiers to fight the rebels.Zhao Yueyao took advantage of the chaos and entered Rongyuexuan. At this time, Shen Wanrong gave birth to a daughter, but before she had time to take a good look at it, the child was carried away by Zhao Yueyao.

Under the cover of the dead soldiers, Chu Xingzhi wanted to take back the child, but he was shot in the leg by an arrow in the end, and was stabbed to death by the rebels with a spear. He fell in front of Shen Wanrong and never stood up again.Shen Wanrong couldn't bear the blow and fainted on the spot.

The author has something to say: first explain part of what needs to be explained, and the next chapter will be considered as the main cp.

More on Monday~

☆, entanglement

"Child?" Zhao Yueyao heard her mentioning the child, and a trace of indescribable loneliness appeared on her face, "You have never heard my explanation about the child."

Shen Wanrong sneered: "Explanation?" She seemed to have heard a big joke, "I only know that if you hadn't betrayed your father back then, and colluded with General Lu Yuanzheng Ling in rebellion, how could Xingzhi have died? My flesh and blood with him How can you be separated from me?"

She never thought that the younger sister who grew up together would do something against the city: "I didn't even take a good look at what my child looks like, and she was killed by you."

After the words fell, Shen Wanrong drew her sword and pointed at Zhao Yueyao: "The hatred of killing my husband and seizing my son dooms me to being irreconcilable with you. Remember, the pain I suffered at the beginning will be doubled on you sooner or later."

"City Lord!" At this moment, Lan Xin and a group of guards rushed over.

The bamboo forest in the early morning was extremely damp and cold, and the cold air invaded the bone marrow.Zhao Yueyao raised her right hand, signaling Lan Xin not to come and meddle in their affairs.

She pursed her lips tightly, no matter how cold the outside world was, it was not as cold as Shen Wanrong's attitude towards her.The hand holding the sword was a little tighter, Zhao Yueyao's eyes followed the sword that Shen Wanrong pointed at her and stabbed at Shen Wanrong.

"Okay." Zhao Yueyao closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his mood had already changed drastically.Up to now, Shen Wanrong's attitude towards her has become obvious, and they have no room for change.

Zhao Yueyao smiled slightly, and there was despair and a trace of desolation in the smile.She raised the sword in her hand, the silver scabbard glowing in the moonlight.Shen Wanrong opened her eyes, she recognized the sword.

"I know, since you dare to come to see me alone tonight, it must not be out of grievances. As far as I know, this sword used to belong to Chu Xingzhi, but I didn't expect you to love Shen Shuangzhao so much, even the only one left by your deceased husband. You gave her your sword." Zhao Yueyao's words were full of sarcasm, "Is it because of her face that you dote on the little apprentice so much?"

Shen Wanrong frowned, and retorted: "I don't need you to comment on the relationship between me and Shuang'er." Shen Shuangzhao was raised by her alone, and for more than ten years, they were like mother and daughter.

Zhao Yueyao sighed: "I'm not qualified to comment, but—" She deliberately prolonged the ending, "From now on, I'm afraid you will never see her beautiful little face again."

"What did you do to her?" Shen Wanrong's sword touched her neck.

Without any fear, Zhao Yueyao calmly clamped the blade of the sword with his fingers, and Shen Wanrong's sword broke into several pieces in an instant with a force between his fingers.

Shen Wanrong didn't even lift her eyelids, she only cared about Shen Shuangzhao in her heart: "Zhao Yueyao, what have you done to Shuang'er?"

"Want to see her?" Zhao Yueyao stood up straight, glanced at her with a smile in his eyes, "I guess so. Lan Xin, go and bring her here."

Lan Xin bit her lower lip, but never moved.Zhao Yueyao became impatient and raised her voice: "Lan Xin!"

Lan Xin no longer hesitated, and hurried over to whisper in Zhao Yueyao's ear.After hearing this, Zhao Yueyao frowned tightly, she lowered her voice and gave Lan Xin some advice.Lan Xin nodded and left in a hurry.

Zhao Yueyao: "How about this, let's make an agreement. If you can beat me, I will release Shen Shuangzhao; if you lose to me, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Shen Wanrong pondered for a moment: "It's a deal."

"Let's go to the river."

------------------------------------------------------------

The sky was getting brighter, and the sun began to shine in the sky.

Shen Wanrong was holding the silver scabbard sword, she pulled out the sword, the imprint of the plum blossom on the sword evoked the deepest memories in her heart.This sword was originally cast by Chu Xingzhi and given to her. He knew that Shen Wanrong loved plum blossoms, so he carved a plum blossom in the center of the sword.

Shen Wanrong gently touched the plum blossom pattern with her fingertips, her mind was filled with fond memories of her and her husband.Through this pattern, it seems that Chu Xingzhi's love for her can still be felt.

Zhao Yueyao was quite disgusted by this, and angrily stabbed Shen Wanrong with his sword.

Shen Wanrong was agile, took a few steps back, and blocked Zhao Yueyao's attack with her sword.Zhao Yueyao was not reconciled, and pressed her step by step with a sword.She loved Shen Wanrong, but it was this kind of paranoid love that made her hate him for more than ten years.Why does Shen Wanrong love Chu Xingzhi?Why didn't she have a chance at all?

If it was before, Zhao Yueyao would not be Shen Wanrong's opponent in terms of kung fu; but now, she is no longer what she used to be, she is cruel and ruthless, and the resentment accumulated for more than ten years has made her beyond recognition.Shen Wanrong was amazed at the hostility revealed by her every move, after a long time no see, Zhao Yueyao was even more terrifying.

The two fought on equal footing, until Chaoyang jumped out of the river completely, and it was not clear whether he was superior or inferior.

At this moment, Shen Wanrong saw guards escorting a woman of the same stature as Shen Shuangzhao from the river, and was tied to a wooden post.

"Shuang'er!" Shen Wanrong couldn't see the woman's face clearly, so she could only judge her identity by her figure.

Taking advantage of her distraction, Zhao Yueyao stabbed her chest with the tip of the sword.But in the end she was reluctant, she tilted her hand, and the sword just slashed across Shen Wanrong's arm.

"Ah..." Shen Wanrong fell to the ground, the pain in her hand made her subconsciously drop the sword in her hand.

"You lost." Zhao Yueyao looked at her condescendingly, with the sword still pointing at her chest.

Shen Wanrong watched the guards put the bundles of firewood beside "Shen Shuangzhao", holding the torch in her hand, she began to feel bad, her chest heaved: "Don't involve others in your grievances, you are good to me , I beg you... Zhao Yueyao, I beg you, let Shuang'er go."

"Shuang'er?" Zhao Yueyao looked at "Shen Shuangzhao" who was surrounded by firewood, with a strange tone, she said, "I only know that I am willing to gamble and admit defeat." After speaking, she gestured to Lan Xin.

With a wave of Lan Xin's hand, the guards threw the torches on the firewood one after another, and the people who were tied to the wooden posts were instantly surrounded by fire.

"Not good!" Xue Qing and Ruodie saw thick smoke and flames on the other side of the river on the boat, and their hearts began to panic, Xue Qing ordered, "speed up the boat!"

Shen Wanrong's right arm was bleeding profusely, but she didn't care about the pain at all, she struggled to get up from the ground, as if to run towards the flames.

Zhao Yueyao didn't stop her, and there was a cruel and perverted smile on the corner of her mouth: "If I can't be with the person I love, if I can't get happiness, then you can't even think about it."

Shen Wanrong ran, but there was no way for her to get close to "Shen Shuangzhao" in the sea of ​​flames.

Xue Qing saw Shen Wanrong running towards the sea of ​​flames on the boat, fearing that she would not be able to think about it, and before the boat stopped, Xue Qing flew from the boat to the shore.

"City Lord!" Xue Qing stopped Shen Wanrong halfway, "Don't be impulsive."

Shen Wanrong's face was full of tears, as if all her hopes were turned into ashes following the cremation.She pushed Xueqing away, ignored her words, picked up the sword, and approached Zhao Yueyao step by step.

Shen Shuangzhao stared at Zhao Yueyao with bloodshot eyes. At this moment, she knew how much she hated the person in front of her: "You, drove everyone around me to death. You betrayed my father and betrayed Shuilan City."

Zhao Yueyao raised her head, and the expression on her face never changed: "You are right. You betrayed your father and indirectly killed your husband and children. Shen Wanrong, you will never forget me in this lifetime..."

Shen Wanrong gritted her teeth with hatred.

"I forgot to tell you that I was the first person to hold your child after she was born. She looks a lot like her father. If she was alive, she would be a beauty now. I still remember that there is a A red birthmark." Zhao Yueyao kept prodding her, "You don't know about this, do you? It's so sad, you are her mother..."

"Left butterfly bone? Birthmark?" Shen Wanrong froze, tears were shining in her eyes.

"That's right." Zhao Yueyao smiled, "That birthmark looks like a three-petaled flower..." Before she finished speaking, she felt a pain in her left abdomen.She lowered her head, only to see Shen Wanrong's sword piercing her abdomen.

Lan Xin was startled, but she didn't let the guards around her step forward to stop her.

"I don't kill you today, and I can't kill you." This is Qingcheng, and Shen Wanrong is very clear that she is weak and must be no match for Zhao Yueyao, "But this does not mean that I will let you go. Zhao Yueyao, you wait, One day I will make your life worse than death, and I will also take back this Qingcheng." After she finished speaking, she pulled out her sword forcefully.

Zhao Yueyao spat out a mouthful of blood and half knelt on the ground.Lan Xin ran over with someone, she supported Zhao Yueyao: "City Lord..." Then she shouted to the guards, "Catch the thief yet."

"Stop!" Zhao Yueyao endured the severe pain and said, "Let them go."

"City Lord, they hurt you, how can you let them go?" Lan Xin asked eagerly.

Zhao Yueyao: "How dare you disobey my order?"

Lan Xin was silent.

Ruodie also went ashore and said to Shen Wanrong: "City Master, let's go back. Your hands are still bleeding." She looked at the still burning sea of ​​flames, her eyes were moist.The situation is critical, and I can't take care of other things.

The entire sleeve of Shen Wanrong's right hand was stained red with blood. She muttered to herself: "It would be great if I knew earlier...it's my fault..."

"Doctor Ge, how long will it take for the medicinal power of Wuyin Water to wear off?" Lu Qingrong asked, "Why hasn't she woke up so long?"

After examining Shen Shuangzhao's face, Dr. Ge said: "Most of the wound on this girl's face has healed, and she will recover in two or three days. As for her not waking up until now, it may be because her body is weak and the boundless water has been consumed. It took a lot of her strength and caused her vitality to be seriously injured."

Lu Qingrong smiled gently, and her tone was exceptionally relaxed: "Speaking of which, I caused her to behave like this. If that's the case, I will make it up to her. Doctor Ge, you should pay more attention to her these few days. Take good care of her body."

"Yes." Dr. Ge nodded, "This girl still has some wounds and needs medicine. I am different from her male and female. I hope the young master will ask others to take medicine."

To put it bluntly, it is to ask the maid to apply the medicine for Shen Shuang. Lu Qingrong said: "It's easy to say. You keep the medicine and tell these maids."

Doctor Ge gave the maid the medicine for external use, gave some instructions and left.

"Miss!" As soon as Doctor Ge left, Huan Hong came in.

"What's the matter?"

"There is an urgent letter from Qingcheng." Huanhong replied, and handed the letter to Lu Qingrong.

While receiving the letter, Lu Qingrong watched the maid help Shen Shuangzhao up from the bed.She opened the letter and read the contents carefully.As time went on, Lu Qingrong raised her brows even higher.

The maid took off Shen Shuangzhao's clothes, revealing her scarred back.After Lu Qingrong put away the letter, she couldn't help but look sideways, but her eyes fell on the red "three-petal flower" on Shen Shuangzhao's butterfly bone impartially.

Three days later—

"Huanhong, have you put away the qin we brought back from Qingcheng?" In the dead of night, there were only a few candles flickering in the main hall of Shahai.The flickering candlelight only illuminated one side of Lu Qingrong's face.After she finished dealing with the affairs of the day in the temple, she suddenly remembered the piano.

Huanhong asked the maid to replace the nearly extinguished candle with a new one: "I asked someone to put Qin Haosheng away since I brought it back."

Lu Qingrong stood up and stretched her stiff neck: "How many days before my father returns to the city?"

"This... I'm not very clear either." Huanhong replied in a low voice.

"If he doesn't come back, I have to deal with the big and small affairs in the city for him every day, how can I have time to concentrate on my own business?" Lu Qingrong resented this.

Huan Hong was silent, she would rather quietly accompany Lu Qingrong to deal with the affairs of the city in this temple, it was better than being smoked half to death by all kinds of strange herbs in Lu Qingrong's pharmacy.Moreover, what she was most worried about was that if one day she accidentally angered Lu Qingrong, her good master would mercilessly take her to test the medicine.So... City Lord, you'd better come back later.

Lu Qingrong complained in her heart for a while before walking out of the hall.

"Miss, do you want to go back to your room to rest?" Huan Hong asked.

Stepping out of the main hall, the square in front of the main hall is even more empty under the moonlight.Lu Qingrong raised his head, only to see a bright moon hanging above his head.

Huan Hong stood beside her, and couldn't help turning to look at her.The moonlight was like washing, falling on Lu Qingrong's face, giving
