Pour the glass

"Aling!" Ziyuan saw who the woman in her arms was, and couldn't help exclaiming, carefully holding the back of her head, reaching out to wipe the black blood from the corner of her mouth, and gently shaking her body , "Aling, wake up, wake up!"

"hiss--"

The inn collapsed, and in the flames, there was a shrill howl of insects. It seemed familiar. It was the sound that appeared when the body of the eldest princess was burned in the National Temple.

Ziyuan couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, thinking of what A Ling said when she confronted Ayejie at Zui Jinnight, she is the host of Gu worms, and she is destined to become the corpse of the emperor Gu mother to reproduce the new Gu emperor.

Could it be that Ah Ling encountered a more terrifying Gu worm here?Where is that sister?Who was that man just now?

"Smelly... stinky girl..." Ah Ling's eyelids fluttered, she seemed to wake up, but also seemed to be still asleep, she murmured in a hoarse voice.

"My lord, what did she call you?" The subordinates of the imperial guard camp heard A Ling's call, and looked at Ziyuan in bewilderment.

Ziyuan's face darkened, "She was stunned for a while, and she called her sister." Ziyuan picked up Aling on her back, and looked around at the busy colleagues, "You guys put out the fire here first. , I will send her to Zui to rest tonight, and then I will come back to help you

"promise!"

"Smelly girl... You are here on the road to the underworld... I really am not alone..." Ah Ling's arms suddenly tightened, wrapping around Zi Yuan's neck, the warm breath brushing Zi Yuan's neck, the smell of blood With some women's unique fragrance.

"Don't say anything, I'll send you back first, and I'll find a doctor for you right away." Ziyuan's arms tightly hooked her legs. If it had been before, she would have joked that she had some weight on her back , but now, the worries in her heart are in a mess, and she can no longer say those naughty words, "I promised my sister that I will take good care of you, and you will be fine."

"No...no..." Ah Ling shook her head beside Ziyuan's neck and mumbled, rubbing her cheeks against Ziyuan's neck, "I don't want you to come... Huangquan Road accompany me...you want to live...I don't allow you to die...you I can't die...I don't want you to accompany me...you can't accompany me..."

Ziyuan was startled, not knowing how to answer the conversation for a while.

"Smelly girl...you...and Zhexue...no matter what happens...I will protect you...I just want...just..." Ah Ling's voice gradually died down, and she only felt a burst of pain in her throat. The fishy smell surged up, and he spit out a mouthful of blood when he opened his mouth.

Ayejie's palm still hurt her internal organs, and Ayejie forcibly urged out the Emperor Gu mother, which already hurt A Ling's heart.

"A-Ling!" Ziyuan turned her head in amazement, looking at the pale face leaning on her shoulder, she couldn't help feeling cold, "You have never cared about this or that, but don't even care about your own life Yes! You hold on, when you are drunk tonight, I will invite a doctor, you will be fine, you will be fine!"

"Walk with me for a while...just for a while...for a while...one..." Ah Ling's voice dropped to a silence, and the hands that had been tightly around Ziyuan suddenly loosened.

"Ah..." Ziyuan was startled, and suddenly turned around and hugged Ah Ling's limp body in her arms. She shook Ah Ling's body, "Wake up, wake up, wake up!"

In the alley, Su Zhexue looked at Ziyuan's back as she walked forward with A Ling on her back, her reddish eyes dimmed, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she smiled bitterly, as if she understood something, " It turns out...it turns out..."

"I didn't lie to you. The toxicity of wolf Gu and joy Gu is not strong, but if it is mixed with the toxicity of Emperor Gu Gu mother, it is a deadly chronic poison. Su Zhexue will definitely not survive a year!"

Ayejie's words in the midst of the raging fire just now lingered in his heart, lingering.

When she raised her eyes again, Su Zhexue was already in tears. She raised her hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes in a panic. Go back!"

Ziyuan nodded heavily, and before she had time to think about why Su Zhexue appeared here, she picked up A Ling again and ran towards Zui Jinxiao.

Running all the way up to Zui Jinxiao's small pavilion, Zi Yuan carefully placed Ah Ling on the bed, took a few breaths, and ran out the door without looking back.

"Slow down!" Su Zhexue called Ziyuan suddenly, "You stay and take care of the master, I will go and ask the doctor."

Panting heavily, Ziyuan shook her head and said, "I'll go... I'll go faster!"

"You stay!" This was Su Zhexue's never-before-seen viciousness, and it was also the first time Su Zhexue gave Zi Yuan an iron order, "Protect the Lord, you are not allowed to go anywhere!"

"This..." Ziyuan hesitated for a while, and asked, "Why?"

Su Zhexue walked to the door and said with a faint smile: "You promised sister that you will protect the Lord well, are you going to break your promise now?"

"I didn't break my promise, it's because you and Ah Ling stayed here, so I feel safe..."

"My lord is well, so I am well. If something happens to my lord, I, Su Zhexue, shouldn't exist in this world." Su Zhexue interrupted Ziyuan's words, and pushed Ziyuan to let Ziyuan retreat. After entering the room, he hurried downstairs.

There was a word hidden in her heart that she would never be able to say—from now on, it was her who would protect them.

"Sister..." Zi Yuan watched Su Zhexue leave in a hurry, feeling an unprecedented sense of loss in her heart.

In the past three years, Su Zhexue has never turned down her face towards her, nor has it been like this, when they are clearly close at hand, but they always feel that the distance between them is suddenly one step away.

Su Zhexue hesitated for a step, but did not dare to look back at Shang Ziyuan under this call, the most important thing now is the Savior!

Disappointed, Ziyuan turned her head and walked to Ah Ling's bed, carefully recalling the details of her return from her sister, the reunion with her sister was so joyful, and the intimacy with her sister was so intoxicating.

Everything changed when Ah Ling appeared. What did she and her sister say in the small pavilion? Why did she suddenly disappear and be in danger again?

Who is that man in the inn?Where did the Emperor Gu that screamed to death in the raging fire come from?

"My lord! My lord! My lord! I finally found you!" A captain of the imperial guards hurried up to the small pavilion with his sword in hand, interrupting Ziyuan's contemplation.

Ziyuan asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"His Royal Highness has an urgent matter to announce that the Lord will enter the palace!" The captain of the imperial guard took a breath and said the words.

Ziyuan frowned and glanced at Ah Ling who was on the bed, stretched out her hand, and pressed her neck for a moment to make sure that her pulse was not broken, and then said in a deep voice: "You go and report to Her Royal Highness first, just say that I will go back to you later. arrive."

"promise!"

Ziyuan watched the captain of the imperial guard run away, sat on the side of the bed, picked up the clean handkerchief beside the bed, and wiped the blood stains on A Ling's chin, "You and sister, what are you hiding in your heart?"

"Ahem..." Ah Ling suddenly let out a series of violent coughs. She frowned and clenched her teeth tightly after coughing, as if she was enduring some severe pain.

Ziyuan suddenly thought of something, got up quickly, walked to the door, and rushed to the subordinate who was standing by Zui Jinxiao, "Come here, quickly boil a pot of hot water!"

"promise!"

Not long after, the subordinate came up with a pot of hot water, carefully placed it on the table, glanced at the bed, and couldn't help laughing, "My lord is so lucky, this girl is not the one who performed today. ..."

"Get out!" Ziyuan gave her subordinate a cold look, and he was so frightened that she hurriedly backed out.

Ziyuan closed the door, inspected the two closed windows, then walked to the table, wet the veil, came to Ah Ling, and gently wiped the blood on her face.

Originally supposed to be the golden branches and jade leaves of Da Jin, but now it has been reduced to this...

"Hold on, don't make my sister sad." Ziyuan murmured with a pain in her heart, and held her hand, wanting to wipe the blood on her arm, but her eyes fell on her tense. Gauze on the right palm.

She slowly loosened the gauze. Although the bleeding had stopped from the new cut, it still made people feel distressed.

"Take care of yourself, okay?" Ziyuan only felt her nose sore, thinking of A Ling's left arm that was injured that day in Guhong Mountain Stream, she gently stroked A Ling's left sleeve, where a piece of cloth was wrapped. Blood-stained gauze, on the edge of the gauze, there are a few blood-red finger prints.

Ziyuan stretched out her hand suddenly, those finger marks were the same size as her own, as expected, the person who rescued her in the forest that night was this unconscious Ah Ling.

Ziyuan's eye circles got wet, and she felt pain in her heart, and she felt even more ashamed. These days, Ah Ling was out alone, so she must have had a bad time, but that day, because she searched for her sister and disappeared, she even regarded Ah Ling as hatred and treated her She is so bad.

"..."

She is always like this, walking alone, seemingly cold to everyone, but she is the coldest to herself.

"Always call me a stinky girl. If I'm a stinky girl, you'd be a stupid girl!" Ziyuan cursed with tears in her eyes, lowered her head to inspect A-Ling's wound, wiped off the blood on her jaw, and stretched her arms. After the blood was wiped away, Zi Yuan's eyes came to A Ling's feet.

A pair of small boots had been scorched by sparks, and the corners of the skirt had several holes, and the mottled blood stains were soaked in it, which was shockingly painful.

With the clean handkerchief in Zi Yuan's hand, she carefully took off A Ling's boots, slightly raised the corner of her skirt, and when her eyes fell on her knees, Zi Yuan couldn't help but shut her eyes in astonishment——

The slightly swollen knees were covered with mottled bruises. When did these injuries occur?

"You...what injuries do you still have?" Zi Yuan made up her mind suddenly, and started to unbutton her clothes at the front, but when she was about to undo A Ling's belt, A Ling suddenly grabbed hold her hand.

Ziyuan met A Ling's cold and horrified eyes in a panic, and before she could show her happy smile because A Ling woke up, she was slapped on the face by A Ling.

"Smelly... stinky girl!" Ah Ling cursed these three words with difficulty, clutching her open skirt tightly, and staring at Ziyuan in shame and surprise, if it wasn't because of the serious injury, she couldn't do it a second time. Slap, otherwise Ziyuan would have been severely taught a lesson.

"I...I...just..." Ziyuan couldn't argue with anything, blinked her eyes, and said anxiously, "I'm also a daughter, you...don't think you're at a disadvantage!"

"you……"

"By the way, that's it, you stare at me, don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes, hold on, my sister will be back soon, you'll be fine, you'll be fine." Ziyuan quickly jumped up from the bed, Three steps away from A-Ling, her cheeks were burning hot because of A-Ling's slap just now, or something else.
