Running into Lin Sishen in the palace was unexpected for Li Luo. After running away in a hurry, she didn't return to the fourth prince's mansion immediately, but went to the small house where Lin Sishen bought her to hide. Even she didn't know why she would come here.

Ever since Shen Qingwan was assassinated here, the house has been sealed up by the government, and the few families who used to live nearby moved out quickly, and now the place is lonely and empty.

Li Luo walked out slowly from the dark corner, and stood still in front of the courtyard door, which was still affixed with the seal of the government. She stood there and took a few glances, then climbed over the courtyard wall and entered the house.

The yard has been empty for a long time and no one has taken care of it. The sycamore trees in the corner are bare, and a thick layer of dead leaves has fallen on the ground. There is a faint smell of rotten leaves in the air.

Li Luo went straight to the wing room, opened the door and walked in. The furnishings in the room have not changed, but the furniture has been covered with a thin layer of dust, there are large dried up black bloodstains on the ground beside the door, and there are messy footprints all over the place. .

It seems that a lot of officials came here a few days ago. They searched for something here over and over again, but they found nothing.

Li Luo loves to be quiet and also loves to be quiet. Although the room is poorly furnished, she always cleans it spotlessly, so clean that there is no trace of someone living there, just like her, who obviously exists but can't seem to find the slightest trace. .

I don't know if it was Zhang Heng's sudden appearance that caused Li Luo's dead heart to ripple a little bit. She was originally just a piece of floating duckweed, and she had nowhere to go, and she seemed to have nowhere to go, but she learned something from Lin Sishen. A trace of warmth makes me want to hold onto it tightly.

But Zhang Heng said that she also had a family, a mother who cared about her and loved her, and desperately wanted to give birth to her.

Li Luo has never known what home is, but she clearly knows that this is not her home, it is just her temporary home, although she has lived there for a long time, she can still leave at any time without hesitation.

The Shadow Gate where she grew up was not her home, there was only endless chill and silence, as if the breath of death wafted in the air, she never regarded the Shadow Gate as her home.

Where does the rootless duckweed come from?

But if she really thought so, why did she come back here?

Standing in the room, Li Luo was distracted. After a long time, she suddenly lowered her head and smiled, then shook her head sarcastically. Was it really the story that Zhang Heng told her that touched her and made her become like this? weak.

After staying for a short while, Li Luo turned around and planned to leave, but she sensed something was wrong just as she stepped over the threshold. Sure enough, the next second, a figure descended from the sky in the middle of the courtyard not far from her, and a familiar voice sounded next to her ear. It sounded heavily.

"Li Luo."

The visitor was dressed in a thick fox fur, which wrapped his thin and tall body tightly. His handsome face in the past was now unrecognizable. A few pieces of white snow fell between the meticulously tied black hair, which at first glance seemed to be mixed with A few strands of white hair.

Lin Sishen looked at Li Luo steadfastly, her deep and dark eyes gleamed with a dim light, she stood where she was and did not approach, but the corners of her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to laugh but couldn't.

"You really are here."

Lin Sishen's appearance surprised Li Luo, she had clearly left Lin Sishen behind, and no one followed her along the way, why did Lin Sishen find this place, she asked inexplicably, "How do you know I'm here?"

Lin Sishen lowered her eyes, her expression was not disturbed, and her tone was extraordinarily calm: "It's strange to say, I always have the feeling that you will come here tonight."

Perhaps it was just now that Li Luo was staring at the floating snow outside the window in a daze, for some reason, Lin Sishen had a vague premonition that Li Luo should come here after he escaped, so she came here, and really saw Li Luo here.

Lin Sishen's words made Li Luo's expression more complicated, she turned her head to avoid Lin Sishen's gaze, frowned and asked in a low voice after steadying her mind, "Are you here to kill me to avenge Shen Qingwan?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Sishen replied without hesitation: "If I came to seek revenge on you, why would I come here alone?"

For a moment, Li Luo didn't know whether to be happy or to be sad. He was happy that even if Shen Qingwan was seriously injured, Lin Sishen couldn't bear to hate her. When sad, Lin Sishen was kept in the dark and suffered this torture, but she stood by cruelly. She couldn't bear to look at Lin Sishen again, and her heart even rose. A thought of running away.

"You know, if I want to leave, you can't stop me."

"I didn't mean to stop you."

Lin Sishen took two steps closer to Li Luo, then stopped, and said word by word, "I just want an answer."

Li Luo took half a step back, ready to leave: "You want to ask me why I betrayed you?"

Lin Sishen discovered Li Luo's intentions, and she frowned instantly. As she approached quickly, she asked repeatedly: "I want to ask why you are going to the palace today? You are clearly close, why didn't you attack the princess? Why did the hidden guards of the palace Didn't shoot at you? What are you trying to hide from me?"

Lin Sishen really became suspicious, Li Luo didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only answer the question in a perfunctory way: "I'm afraid there is more than one answer."

As soon as Lin Sishen stopped walking, her eyes on Li Luo dimmed instantly. She was still doubtful and still not sure, so she could only stare at Li Luo, trying to get a clue from her expression: "Maybe, There is only one answer."

As soon as these words came out, Li Luo was startled, did Lin Sishen already know that all this was set up by Shen Qingwan?

But even though her thoughts were chaotic, Li Luo's face remained calm. She wasn't sure if Lin Sishen kept on asking, if she couldn't bear to tell her the truth, she had promised Shen Qingwan, so she had no choice but to run away.

Thinking of this, Li Luo's figure quickly burst out, passing Lin Sishen like a gust of wind. Lin Sishen had prepared for this, so at the moment Li Luo left, she turned around and chased after him.

The anger and pain that had been squeezed in Lin Sishen's heart for a long time seemed to be turned into strength. Normally, she would not be able to catch up with Li Luo, but this time her speed was so much faster that Li Luo Mingming almost threw her off several times. But he was quickly caught up by her.

The cold wind was blowing and the sky was gloomy. Two figures leaped and galloped through the streets and alleys of the capital, one after the other, sometimes crossing the streets, sometimes jumping over walls and eaves, appearing and disappearing erratically.

The cold wind mixed with snowflakes cut his face like a knife, itching and itching. Lin Sishen looked at Li Luo's figure in front of him, and tried his best to catch up with him, not daring to relax. If she didn't pay attention, she would follow Li Luo. .

After chasing like this for a long time, Lin Sishen finally blocked Li Luo in a dark alley, but rather than saying that she blocked it, it might be said that Li Luo stopped by himself. She nodded slightly and turned her back to Lin Sishen, pointing her hands Hold tight.

Li Luo didn't expect that Lin Sishen would be able to keep up with her this time, and the reason why she stopped was because she had to. The commotion just now was a bit loud, and someone had already noticed their pursuit, and she could feel that it was not far away. A pair of eyes were hiding in the dark and staring at them.

After finally gaining the trust of the fourth prince, Li Luo must not fall by the wayside, she must force Lin Sishen to give up.

Lin Sishen's heavy breathing echoed in the alley, her face was covered with sweat and her eyes turned black, and she barely supported herself against the wall. Her physical strength was not comparable to Li Luo's, and her body was getting weaker and weaker these days. , she was almost at the limit.

After panting for a while, Lin Sishen finally regained some strength, tried her best to calm down, looked at Li Luo's motionless back in the darkness, and said in a trembling voice: "Li Luo, you must give me an explanation, otherwise I won't give up of."

Li Luo didn't turn around, her voice suddenly became extremely indifferent: "Explain? Why should I explain to you?"

Lin Sishen was startled when she heard the words, she looked at Li Luo with some confusion, just when she was about to ask a question, Li Luo turned around slowly, with a hint of impatience in her cold eyes, she said word by word: "Lin Sishen, don't forget that you and I are just using each other. I have done so many shameless things for you over the years, and I have never owed you anything."

Lin Sishen had never seen Li Luo's expression and tone at this moment. She froze in place for a moment, and besides the sound of the wind, the only sound in her ears was her breathing as she weakened a little.

Li Luo didn't know how she had the heart to say these words, but she could only put down her harsh words to prevent Lin Sishen from saying something she shouldn't say. She stared at Lin Sishen's pale face, clenched her hands tightly, her nails almost Pinch into the meat.

"I did use your trust to betray you, but after all, there shouldn't be any trust between you and me."

Although the words she said hurt people so much, she had never done what she did today. She wanted Lin Sishen to understand what she had to do. Since Lin Sishen could communicate with her and knew that she would go to her former residence today, she must understand her duplicity.

But this time she seems to be wrong. Lin Sishen has been tormenting herself these days. She is going crazy. She can only rely on the obsession in her heart to support her. Her fragile body will be broken in one blow. How can she be like before? Calm and composed.

Li Luo's words were like a knife, ruthlessly piercing Lin Sishen's battered heart, leaving another bloody hole.

Since Lin Sishen knew that Li Luo had betrayed her and almost killed Shen Qingwan, maybe she had blamed Li Luo for a moment, but soon she blamed herself for all the faults, she blamed herself for not discovering Zhang Heng approaching Li Luo, she was even worried about Li Luo's safety, she was afraid that Li Luo would be used by the fourth prince, that Li Luo would be murdered by the fourth prince.

She has always cared so much about the relationship with Li Luo, not about love, like Gao Jianli and Jing Ke, they are confidants and even more bosom friends.

Li Luo's weight in Lin Sishen's heart was something that even Shen Qingwan had tasted.

In fact, if it was the past, maybe Lin Sishen would have gotten a clue from Li Luo's abnormality, but unfortunately she is already very fragile now, Li Luo's words falling into her ears will only tear her heart to pieces.

Lin Sishen's face was as pale as paper, and her body was trembling uncontrollably. She looked at Li Luo blankly, as if begging or explaining, her voice was so soft that it was almost covered by the wind: "Then what about the love between us? Never... I never blamed you, I know you have difficulties..."

How could Li Luo feel better, she had never been so heartbroken like today, with a dull pain in her heart, God knows she didn't want to hurt Lin Sishen any more, but it really deserves to be damned... that man is still staring at him from the dark, If this continues, she will definitely reveal her secrets.

Li Luo eagerly turned his back to Lin Sishen, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Don't look for me anymore, because of the old relationship, I won't do anything to you, you'd better do it yourself. "

After saying that, Li Luo flew up to the eaves in a hurry, left without looking back, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving only Lin Sishen standing alone in the snow.

Lin Sishen's expression was stiff and dazed, she leaned against the corner quietly like a puppet without a soul, she lost strength and slipped down bit by bit, finally fell to the ground.She was in terribly painful pain, from an invisible wound, almost tearing open her chest and taking out her heart.

The snow fell harder and harder, and in the empty alley Lin Sishen lay on his side and curled up in the corner, like a homeless beggar.Snowflakes fell on her face and on her body, but she didn't feel the slightest bit of cold, but felt warm instead.

The light was getting darker and the eyelids were getting darker, Lin Sishen closed her eyes slowly, she didn't want to get up anymore, she just lay down for a while, maybe it will be fine after a while.

Lin Sishen felt faint footsteps approaching in a trance, and she raised her eyes to the alley with the last bit of strength, as if she saw a white figure walking towards her with a red oil-paper umbrella.The whole body of the man seemed to be covered in a hazy white mist, and his face could not be seen clearly, only the oil-paper umbrella looked particularly bright red and dazzling in the falling snowflakes.

Lin Sishen tried hard to see who the person was, but her eyelids were too heavy and her body was heavy, she could only watch helplessly as the person came closer and closer until he stopped beside her.

The shadow covered her face, the man squatted down and his face gradually became clear, and what imprinted in his eyes was a pair of gentle and narrow eyes, which seemed to always be filled with a layer of shimmering waves, straight and delicate bridge of the nose, and bright red delicate thin lips , the face is as beautiful as a fairy walking out of a painting.

"Shen'er..."

The man whispered in Lin Sishen's ear, the familiar voice, even if there seemed to be no pampering and helplessness in the tone, she slowly stretched out her hand, and the white fingertips hovered in front of Lin Sishen's eyes, as if He was waiting for her to hold her hand.

"Princess, is that you?"

Lin Sishen stared blankly at the person in front of her, as if she couldn't believe it. After a long time, she moved her thin lips, and said something that she couldn't even hear clearly. The silent hope suddenly revived. Is the princess awake?

Or is it just a dream she had, all of this is illusory and somewhat unreal.

Lin Sishen's eyes fell on Shen Qingwan's fingertips protruding towards her, then he struggled to raise his trembling hand, approached desperately, and then squeezed it tightly with the last bit of strength.

There was no real sense of skin-to-skin contact, as if she had missed something, Lin Sishen's hand hit the ground heavily, her knuckles knocked against the slate and scratched the skin, the blood stained the snow red, and a little blush spread under her hands.

The last ray of light in front of her eyes completely disappeared, and Lin Sishen closed her eyes heavily, with a slight smile on her pale face, but a tear slipped by the corner of her eyes, and she just fell asleep in the snow.
