Qinghe didn't sleep well all night, got up early and sat on the bed wrapped in a brocade quilt, with a cold and sleepy face.

Liuqin and Liuse stood by the bed with the clothes to be worn, and there was a light calming incense wafting from the purple gold incense burner.

The blood in the dream gradually faded away, Qinghe's eyelashes drooped, and there was a trace of irritability between his brows: "Has the army not entered the city yet?"

She seemed to be muttering, and Liu Se gave her a careful look: "I didn't arrive yesterday, but I should arrive today."

Thinking of seeing A Chi today, her heart calmed down a little, a shallow smile rose on her lips, her arms stretched out from the quilt, Qin Se and the two hurriedly helped her get up and change her clothes.

After simply eating breakfast, Qing He fastened the belt of his cloak, intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the quiet Xie Xinglou: "Auntie, I'll go pick her up."

She didn't have to say this, but she did.

Xie Xinglou stood up abruptly, lightly brushed off his sleeves: "I'll go with you."

Liu Se got out of the way and was a few steps behind the two. Qing He supported his aunt's slender forearm: "Auntie, Ah Chi will be back, right?"

"Correct."

Will be back, but will be late.

"aunt."

She stopped suddenly, and said in an anxious tone, "Where is Uncle, where has she gone?"

Xie Xinglou stared at her pale snow-like cheeks, feeling unbearable across his heart, and comforted her with a smile: "Wanwan, don't overthink."

Qinghe's heart sank: Uncle Master really left last night.

Hearing that the army entered the city today, many people surrounded the gate of the city. Xue Ling and Xie Xinglou, who had changed their appearance, guarded Qinghe on the left and right. Mrs. Chi couldn't wait to see her daughter as soon as possible, so she guarded at the nearest gate to the city gate. The place is eagerly awaiting.

At the beginning of Si, the sun gradually rose, and the army that conquered Di Rong returned in glory.

On the city tower, 'Zhao Yong' wore a dragon robe, surrounded by courtiers, all raising their eyes to look not far away.

The sound of orderly armor was heard, and the soldiers had an indescribable despondency on their faces, and there was no one on the white horse walking in front.

Not seeing the person he was waiting for, Qinghe's lips were cold and pale, and the bloody image that appeared in the dream instantly filled his mind.

"Be careful!" Xue Ling helped her steady in time.

Xie Xinglou's mind is not in the right place, his eyes that see through the secrets are as deep as a pool, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.

He didn't see the young general who was so handsome and handsome, so 'Zhao Yong' tilted his head to look at Yan Gao beside him.

Yan Gao whispered: "Your Majesty, I didn't see General Chi."

The false emperor immediately understood - Chi Heng did not return.

Sun Zhuri dismounted from his horse and first bowed to the king standing on the tower with all the generals, then took out the sharp Tang saber, held it in front of Madam Chi and Miss Shen with both hands, and knelt down without saying a word.

The whole army was sad and silent, and some even bowed their heads and sobbed.

Zhang Xiaoer couldn't restrain the grief in his heart: "General, general was eaten by jackals!"

A word of uproar!

Wu Yong slapped Zhang Xiaoer on the back of the head: "What are you talking about! General, General didn't—"

Before he finished speaking, the eyes of the five big and three thick men turned red.

When the bad news came suddenly, Mrs. Chi showed the majesty of a housewife, and asked in a deep voice: "General Sun, what happened to my son?"

Sun Zhuri raised his head under great pressure, endured the pain and explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

They did not see the general die with their own eyes, but when they were lured to the peach blossom forest in the outskirts of the city by a mysterious person, they saw a dozen wolves surrounding a corpse that had long been unrecognizable and devoured it.

The flesh was bloody, and only the bones remained.

Then the general disappeared.

After digging three feet into the ground, they found only a horse and a knife. The back of the horse was stained with blood, and the blade of the knife was also stained with blood.

No one could be found, which is why Zhang Xiaoer's misrepresentation of "the general was eaten by jackals" came about.

Misinformation is misinformation, but what else can make a general abandon the horse and the knife in his hand?

General Chi was probably killed.

The people were sad, and their cries grew louder.

Qinghe couldn't hear what they were talking about or what they were crying for. With trembling hands, she took the [Walking Star] presented by Sun Zhuri. She was still ill and her body was weak. The Tang Dao held in the palm of his hand.

- Knife, is used to protect the loved one.

- The knife is in the person, so wanwan, my knife is my life, I give my life to you, you have to treat me well...

The words are still ringing in my ears, where is the person who said those words?

Looking up at the sky under the sky, the eyes are full of loneliness, and the sadness is rolling in, and Qinghe spits out a mouthful of blood mist.

The late autumn of that year was red.

……

Autumn passes and winter comes, and in the twelfth lunar month, heavy snow covers the entire city of Shengjing.

Chi Heng did not return in three months, and the people had to acquiesce in the tragic ending of the last son of the Chi family who died young.

Since General Chi's body could not be found, the soldiers spontaneously built a clothes tomb for Chi Heng, buried his armor and some clothes in it, and people came to worship every day.

On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, Chi Hengzheng was awarded the title of First-rank General Protecting the Country after being rewarded by the imperial court.

The Chi family was given ten thousand taels of gold and a thousand acres of fertile land as compensation, and the marriage contract between the Chi and Shen families was terminated on the grounds that "the dead cannot be resurrected".

Xiuchun Bieyuan.

Qinghe stayed sick for many days, during which time the cold poison broke out three times.

Rao Chi Ying avoided the eyeliner arranged by the royal family and held [Yi Nian Dan] in front of her eyes, but she didn't even look at it, and she endured it abruptly until her face was haggard, leaving a handful of bony bones.

The size of the newly made clothes was already reduced, but it was still much larger on her body.

Liu Se lowered her head to help her get dressed, and finally cried out, "Miss, why should you suffer yourself? After all, your body is yours!"

Qinghe turned a deaf ear and let her cry, as if wondering why she had so many tears to shed, but he didn't have a single tear.

She looked at Liu Se blankly, her soul seemed to be floating in mid-air, she was cold, she couldn't cry or laugh for months, the coldness bursting out from the cracks in her eyes, nothing more. Soft and kind like the usual spring breeze.

"Have you cried enough?" She said in a clear voice, "I have cried enough, go and invite someone."

She didn't say who to invite, Liu Se wiped away her tears, and hastily invited the 'reformed' Mr. Chi to come.

Chi Ying held the cold jade box entrusted by her sister with her life in her hand, guarding and protecting it day and night, and never taught anyone else to touch it.

One month ago, when Miss Shen had the worst attack of cold poison, he finally entered this other garden openly and aboveboard as a 'servant of the Chi family'.

He hated her for having the charm that made Ah Heng die for it, and also pitied her for being jealous of her beauty and suffering from cold poison.

The drug donation failed, which was beyond his expectation.

This time again, Chi Ying has no hatred for her, only pity.

He and Chi Heng are compatriots of flesh and blood, so they understand what she wants - nothing more than happiness and worry-free life for her sweetheart, and a long life.

"You all go down."

Qin and Se looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to disobey her wishes, and led the servants out in a file, guarding both sides of the door as usual.

The room fell silent for a moment.

After all, Chi Ying is a man, and he can't get close to or stay away from the person his sister loves.

Chi Heng died because of his late arrival. He took all the blame on himself, blamed himself and repented, and made up his mind that Ah Heng would secretly guard his sweetheart for her every day before he returned.

"Brother Chi."

"Miss Shen." Chi Ying said with difficulty: "This is from Ah Heng."

The cold jade box was held in front of Qinghe's eyes, and she was finally willing to face up to the thing that killed Chi Heng.

Opening the box, she saw the elixir properly placed inside, and saw the unique pattern on the elixir that belonged to [Medicine Valley], she gently pulled the corner of her lips: "One, read, elixir."

There was a hole in her heart, and the cold wind came in, her voice was cold: "Brother Chi, tell me about A Chi."

Chi Ying told his mother three or five times what happened that day. Although Mrs. Chi did not believe that her daughter would die, she couldn't tolerate what the eldest son said.

Chi Ying's hands trembled, and the blood that he had seen that day seemed to flash across his eyes. He was incoherent and extremely regretful: "When I went, it was already late...

"It's Xie Zhezhi, I saw Xie Zhezhi's body, her body hadn't been destroyed by jackals at that time...

"Aheng was seriously injured, a knife pierced her chest, her chest was bleeding, her hands and feet were also bleeding, she fell off the horse, and begged me to give you this medicine.

"The cold poison in your body has always been an inseparable concern in her heart. She misses you more than anyone else, and you know it."

"What else did she say?"

"It's gone..." Chi Ying's throat choked slightly.

Qinghe held the antidote between her fingers, and with her cleverness, quickly completed in her mind how Xie Zhezhi used this medicine to drive A Chi to a dead end step by step.

Xie Zhezhi couldn't kill her.

Di Rong's soldiers and horses could not trample her.

Zhao Yong can't help her.

It was that fool who was willing to suffer for her.

The agency calculates, one hundred secrets and one sparse.Shen Qinghe felt a dull pain in his heart, and looked directly into Chi Ying's eyes: "Where is she?"

Just based on her affection for Ah Heng, Chi Ying didn't want to lie to her.

He can be deceived for a while but not for the rest of his life, he said truthfully: "I went late, she gave me the medicine and her pulse died before she finished speaking. A Taoist in Tsing Yi snatched her away, I can't stop her."

"The pulse has died..."

"Miss Shen!"

Qinghe leaned on the corner of the table, with his back to him, his throat seemed to be stuffed with a ball of cotton.

"You go, I don't need you to accompany me. Big brother Chi can go and accompany Miss Li. A Chi has long wanted to see big brother get his wish and embrace the beauty."

She said a lot in one breath, and Chi Ying exited the room with a pale face.

When he was gone, Qinghe stared at the round antidote that smelled like medicine, two lines of tears fell silently, slid down his cheeks, hung on his pointed jaw, and shattered helplessly on the ground.

Together with the heart that was warmed by others, it was also broken.

She still refused to believe that Chi Heng died, but she took the initiative to mourn for her 'fiancé' on the day His Majesty decreed that the engagement between the two governments should be dissolved.

Wearing snow-white mourning clothes on her body, she was cold and pretty, wrapping her slender body, making people feel distressed for no reason.

White lanterns were hung in front of Xiuchun Bieyuan, and the wind of the twelfth lunar month blew away General Chi, who was as warm as the spring breeze and as bright as the spring sun.

In front of the tomb.

Qinghe was wearing a heavy cloak and slapped open the wine seal, and the smell of wine was scattered in the cold wind, she smiled.

Seeing her laughing, and also seeing her crying, Liu Se's emotions were complicated, and she felt so sad that there were no words to express it.

In the past, the young lady endured and endured, but now she can't bear it, can't bear it, can talk and laugh, and even put on the plain white mourning clothes for the general, but such a young lady looks even more serious.

"No one can revoke your marriage contract with me, not even the world, nor the imperial power.

"In their eyes, I am no longer your wife, but I want to mourn for you. If you are not here, I will be your widow for a day, guarding your monument and guarding the Chi family."

Qinghe brushed the cold tombstone with his fingertips, and smiled softly: "I'll wait for you, how about you come back? I'll drink with you and do all the interesting things..."

Liuqin Liuse's clothes were wet with tears when he heard the words. For three months, for three full months, the government and the public, regardless of whether the army or the civilians, have been searching for the general's whereabouts day and night, and the results can be imagined.

The mellow wine entered her throat, and Qinghe was completely drunk in front of the tomb of clothes. The cold wind blew across her tear-stained face, and even a gust of wind could blow her down.

"You come back, how about you come back?"

"you come back……"

"Come back and see me..."

She gets drunk.

……

On New Year's Eve, every family celebrates the reunion day, and the other garden is deserted.

There is no longer that bright and charming little general who walks through the corridor and turns over the window, smiling affectionately at people with his brows and eyes.

Xiao Hong, a parrot locked in a golden silk cage, can make her master's eyes red with an occasional "Achi" and "Achi".

Qinghe moved back to Zhenguo General's Mansion before recovering from illness, and rested in the [Xiuchunyuan] every day, staring at the wall in a daze, as if someone would lie on the wall and call her "Wanwan" and "Wanwan" every day. Wan".

See things and think about people, let the invisible knife cut your heart one by one.

- Sister, what do you think this is?

-It's a good thing I came up with. The sound of this bell spreads wider than ordinary bells. When I need me in the future, my sister rings the bell. I hear it. I will rush over when I walk and crawl.

Golden bells rang out for a long time, but no one answered.

Qing He listened to the ringing of the bell in a daze, and pinned to her slender waist was a Tang knife made of wenge wood, which was a token of love given to her by Chi Heng at the engagement banquet in previous years.

"You said you would protect me, you said you would come if you shook this golden bell...

"Achi, you don't keep your word."
