Frost shines on Qingcheng

When dawn was approaching, it rained heavily in Shuilan City.Luo Qi sat sleepless all night in the main hall.

After daybreak, Luo Ji brought his maid to meet him outside the main hall with breakfast.

"What are you doing here?" Luo Qi said in a low voice, propping his forehead with his hands, without the slightest desire/desire to look at Luo Ji.

Luo Ji asked the maid to bring the food: "Sister, you didn't eat all day yesterday, and it's been a troubled time, I'm afraid you won't be able to take it anymore."

Luo Qi got up and walked down from the high seat.She stood beside the maid, whose hand holding the breakfast trembled slightly.Luo Qi lost interest after just a glance. She asked the maid: "Is there anyone in Qingshuang Palace now?"

The master changed overnight, and the maid had an instinctive fear of Luo Qi, her body trembled even more, her legs gave way and she fell to her knees, and her breakfast fell to the floor.

Luo Qi stared at her coldly: "I ask you, is there anyone else?"

"Yes... yes..." the maid said hurriedly, "Xiao... Xiaotao and Nanyan are still..."

Luo Qi didn't say anything, and walked straight out of the hall.

"Sister! Where are you going?" Luo Ji asked.

"Today you can go back to Bihai City, don't stay here. I will arrange it after you return to the city." Luo Qi didn't turn his head, just dropped this sentence.

Before Luo Ji asked the reason, he raised his head again, and Luo Qi disappeared.

Because of yesterday's war, the inner city was in a mess, and the flags of Bihai City were planted on high places such as the city gates and turrets.This is announcing that Shuilan City has changed hands.At this moment, apart from the Bihaicheng troops stationed in the inner city, there is no one else in the inner city.Originally, the people in the inner city scattered and fled, and very few stayed.

Luo Qi walked alone, and all the guards along the way knelt down.She remained silent all the time, and walked towards Qingshuang Palace.

As the maid said, except for Xiaotao and Nanyan who stayed in Qingshuang Palace, everyone else left.

"How long have you been with Shen Shuangzhao?" Luo Qi looked up at the decorations in Shen Shuangzhao's room and asked.

Luo Qi had been here before, and Nan Yan and Xiao Tao didn't have a bad impression of her. They never expected that such a petite person as Luo Qi would cooperate with Shahai Qingcheng to do such shameless things. She is so kind.

"It must have been a long time, right?" Luo Qi selectively ignored the hatred towards them, "She is now eighteen, let alone ten years?"

Nan Yan said: "It has nothing to do with you for several years! Where is she now? What did you do to her?"

Luo Qi smiled: "I didn't do anything, I just want everything to go back to the way it was..." She parted her lips slightly, with an almost paranoid smile in her eyes, "Who was she by her side before, she will be by her side in the future Who is there? As for what I want to do to her, you are a maid, what qualifications do you have to question me?"

Nanyan couldn't help but Xiaotao stopped her when she really wanted to argue.She was helpless. Yesterday she saw that Luo Qi was too ruthless, so it would be no good to deliberately annoy her.

The corner of Luo Qi's right lip raised, and he warned softly, "Don't fight me, otherwise...you will all become Sang Yu yesterday." After saying that, she glanced at the room again before leaving.

For the next few days, Luo Qi didn't care about Shen Shuangzhao who was in prison.She only heard that Shen Shuangzhao didn't eat or drink, and she was slapped by herself before, and she already looked like she was about to die from internal injuries.Even so, Luo Qi didn't seem in a hurry.

She was counting the days every day, and finally it was time to see Shen Shuangzhao.

Shen Shuangzhao had her hands and feet in shackles. She was lying on her side on the ground, her lips were white due to dryness, and her face was covered with dust, blood stains and dried tears.The clothes on his body had long been smeared with blood so that the original color could not be seen.

With her eyes closed, she had a fever a few days ago because she caught a cold while swimming. The internal injuries on her body and the despair in her heart made her weaker and weaker.If you can, just die like this.

It's good to be dead, I don't remember anything - who Lu Qingrong is, her relationship with herself, what kind of country is ruined and her family is destroyed, the same teacher and sister turned against each other... She won't remember anything.It's a pity that she won't die for a while, and she doesn't even have the strength to commit suicide.

The cell door was opened, and Shen Shuangzhao vaguely heard footsteps, and could barely open her eyes a little.

"Do you remember who I am?" Luo Qi sat down and stared at her with interest.

Due to the fever and the successive blows, Shen Shuangzhao's consciousness was a little loose. She frowned tightly, and vaguely saw a figure in front of her: "I don't know..." She said weakly.

Luo Qi asked patiently: "Do you really not remember? Worriless..."

Shen Shuangzhao opened and closed her eyes: "Worriless..."

"Yes, worry-free..."

Shen Shuangzhao opened her eyes again, muttering to herself.

Luo Qi's smile spread, she walked up to Shen Shuangzhao and sat on the ground, hugged her in her arms, and said softly, "You'er, why did you forget me? Who am I, you really don't remember ?"

Shen Shuangzhao was suffering a lot, and there were many past events in her mind—the ones between her and Lu Qingrong, the ones between her and Shen Wanrong, the scenes of her practicing swords with her senior sisters when she was a child... There are many, many more...

"I'll hug you, so you can go to bed worry-free, okay?" The girl was a little older than herself, hugged her young self in her arms, patted her back again and again, and gently coaxed herself to sleep.

Going down, the scene changes——

"Do you dare to do it next time?" The girl's cold expression made people dare not approach her. With her stern voice, a whip was lashed at her body, and the child's delicate skin was instantly covered with bloodstains.However, the girl kept venting her emotions, "What are you? It's just a dog I raise. When I'm upset, I want to take it out on you."

She just followed Mr. Chen's granddaughter to the outer city for a while, and when she came back, she was treated so harshly.

……

"Master..." Shen Shuangzhao had already passed out, and only Luo Qi could understand the nonsense in his mouth.Luo Qi sneered contentedly, she stretched out her hand and pointed at Shen Shuangzhao's face, and whispered in her ear: "Be loyal from now on."

Luo Qi's gaze fell on Shen Shuangzhao's right wrist, and the red rope tied with a small silver bell was particularly irritating to her eyes.She pulled hard, but the red rope showed no intention of breaking.

It doesn't belong to you.

……

The sound of gongs and drums woke Shen Shuangzhao from her dream. She opened her eyes and found herself lying on the tower on the west side of Shuilan City.She still had a fever, and her whole body was limp.

"you're awake?"

Shen Shuang turned his face sideways, and saw Luo Qi wearing a gorgeous costume, standing in front of him with a commander-in-chief attitude.

"Your fever has not subsided. If you still refuse to take medicine, I'm afraid you will miss the beautiful bride."

Shen Shuangzhao thought for a while before remembering what happened before she fell into a coma.It turned out that it was not a dream, everything was real.Lu Qingrong doesn't want her anymore, her master's life or death is uncertain, her senior sister is dead, and another senior sister is on the verge of collapse, so it's all true...

"I don't want to see a bride, I just want to know the whereabouts of my master." Shen Shuangzhao couldn't stand still, and rushed towards Luo Qi with difficulty, "Is she still alive? What did you do to her?"

Luo Qi supported her, and cut her hands behind her back, forcing her to look at the welcoming procession passing under the city gate: "Before asking Shen Wanrong, I think you should care more about this."

Shen Shuangzhao's chest injury hadn't healed yet, and she was so uncomfortable being pressed against the brick wall of the tower by Luo Qi that she almost fainted again, a mouthful of blood poured into her throat and almost spit it out.But compared to the next moment, she felt less pain.

"Qilin? Ziqin, Zixiu...and Huanhong..." Shen Shuang looked at the procession of welcoming the bride from the bottom of the tower, and saw a figure she was familiar with.In an instant, she felt that her heart was completely dead.

With bright red lips, Luo Qi said to her, "Luo Ji got married today, who is he married, do you need me to tell you? Everyone in the four cities knows."

Shen Shuang couldn't help shaking her head, and suddenly began to shout hoarsely: "Lu Qingrong, I'm Shuang'er, come back, don't marry him!"

Although she exhausted all her strength, her cries were soon drowned out because of her too weak body and the loud gongs, drums and suonas.

Shen Shuang didn't give up, she still yelled at the people downstairs over and over again.Luo Qi didn't say anything, as if he was patiently waiting for a child who was throwing a tantrum to calm down.

The people in the sedan chair covered the bride's red hijab, and could barely see the small red lips and a tear that slid down their cheeks.

"Don't go! You can't..." The welcoming team walked away, and Shen Shuangzhao shouted until her voice became hoarse, but it was useless.She could only watch helplessly as the sedan chair carried her beloved to the scene of her marriage with another man.

Luo looked forward to the river in the distance, and then let go of Shen Shuangzhao, and she closed her eyes in silence.

Without Luo Qi's support, the seriously ill Shen Shuang collapsed to the ground in a flash.She was stunned for a while, then pulled Luo Qi's skirt and begged desperately, "Luo Qi, please kill me... Please..." She was in so much pain, why was she still alive?

Luo Qi lowered his eyes: "Tell me, who are you?"

Shen Shuangzhao opened his empty eyes, looked up at Luo Qi, and said dully, "I'm Chu Wuyou, are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied." Luo Qi's smile was weak, but the joy spread to his eyes, "You will not die, you will only live better."

Shen Shuangzhao felt that she was left with only an empty shell, and her soul had been torn apart by Lu Qingrong himself.She sneered and said, "Who do you think you are? It's not easy to live, but is it hard to die?"

"If you are going to die, your mother, your senior sister, and the people in Shuilan City will have a hard time, so think about it yourself."

never mind……

Shen Shuangzhao's face was full of tears, her hair was disheveled, and she looked like a beggar in the clothes she hadn't changed for several days.Because of the high fever, her headache became more and more severe, and with a mouthful of blood, she fainted at Luo Qi's feet.

Under the sun, only the silver bell on Shen Shuangzhao's wrist was still shining.From then on, everything about her will turn gray.
