The Huang Clan withdrew their troops and retreated to the gate of the city.Naturally, Qingguo's army pressed on every step of the way, and the two sides were at a stalemate outside the city.

"Is that so?" Bai Yi'an stood by the bed, looking at Si Ji.

"I'll leave her to you..." Si Ji said softly, "There is still a future for the Phoenix Clan."

"You seem to know what's going on. I've never seen you show such an expression of resignation." Bai Yi'an had a sullen face. She was supposed to go to the battlefield by herself, and Huang Che stayed in the clan to deal with the next matters.Ke Si Ji insisted on letting her stay, and asked Si Mo to pray for her at the altar for a whole day.Not long after she came down from the altar, she received the news that Si Ji was injured, so she hurried over to check on Si Ji's injury.

Si Ji propped himself up halfway up, smiled wryly, "I told you the other day, the disaster on your body is fatal."

"So what, as long as I don't want to die, who can make me die." Bai Yi'an frowned, her eyes gradually turned cold, what she hated the most was life, which was illusory.

Si Ji sighed, with a helpless expression on his face, "Si Mo and I are of the same blood, and keeping you on the altar is just to transfer your disaster to me. After all, I can live till now, and I have no fear of death." Although the blow you are taking now cannot help you completely eliminate the disaster, what you need to bear will not be as serious as fatal. If you lack a priest, you will need to find another one, but you who have the blood of your ancestors are absolutely indispensable .So this is the best ending for me, and the ending that the Phoenix Clan is most happy to see." Si Ji smiled softly, even after saying this, he was still smiling, as if he was really not afraid of death.

Seeing that Bai Yi'an was about to speak, Si Ji interrupted, "Second Highness, as a priest, the most important thing you should believe in is fate. I know you hate these things... But Si Ji has nothing but these things. Ben Si Ji should bear it, if Si Ji hadn’t made those mistakes, whether the Phoenix Clan would have been better today, everything would have been different.”

"Si Ji was able to come out of the sacrificial hall again only for His Highness, but Si Ji no longer dared to touch His Highness calmly. You also said that you want to promote Your Highness and Si Mo. Si Mo is a good boy and likes Your Highness very much, Your Highness With her, you don't have to bear such a heavy burden. In that case, why don't you let Si Ji do one more thing for you, and just leave quietly like this. Tat for tat is the most simple thing in the world If Si Ji pays off, His Highness won’t have to carry that burden anymore, not only you have to take care of me, but also according to your mood, how can His Highness bear the pain of splitting people into two halves forcibly.”

At the end, Si Ji had lowered his head, his body trembling slightly, gritted his teeth and said, "So, so let Si Ji bear it, as long as Si Ji can take away His Highness's pain. As long as, as long as Si Ji never lived in It's all right in this world."

Bai Yi'an was silent, and said after a while, "If this is your wish, can my sister really let go of the burden?" I'm afraid she will bear a heavier burden than this.But the words were spinning in his heart, but he didn't say it out of his mouth. Now Si Ji is determined to think that this kind of result is the best result for the three of them and for the Huang Clan.Talking too much will not only fail to persuade Si Ji, but will deepen Si Ji's thoughts at this time... What's more, whether the poison on Si Ji's body can be cured is still unknown.

Turning around and going out the door, she took a step over the threshold when she saw Huang Che standing by the door with a gloomy expression on her face, obviously she heard what Si Ji said just now.Seeing Bai Yi'an looking over, Huang Che pulled out a smile, extremely miserable, his voice was a little hoarse because he hadn't spoken for a long time, "A Yi..."

Bai Yian stopped closing the door, kept the door half open, and said softly, "Go in and talk to her."

Bai Yi'an left the door behind, passed by Huang Che, and said softly, "Just don't regret it."

When Huang Che entered the door, what he saw was Si Ji lying on the bed with his head half down.Can't see the expression clearly, only the shoulders, and the hands clenched on the arms, trembling.

"Si Ji." Huang Che said, and walked towards the bed.

Si Ji raised his head, his purple eyes had already brought a little smile, and the trembling just now seemed as if it had never happened, he just said with a little chuckle, "Your Highness, why are you here. In this case, Si Ji didn't I can't get out of bed to greet you."

The sudden distant words made Huang Che's steps pause.Finally, it stopped only a little distance from the bed.It is already noon now, the sun shines on Si Ji's body through the window, it should be a warm existence, but when it shines on Si Ji's body, it suddenly feels a bit colder.Imprinted in Huang Che's pupils, there was pain in his heart like being hit hard.

"Can't you stay with me, just like what you promised ten years ago." Huang Che just suddenly felt as if a knife had been stabbed in his heart, and blurted out.

"..." Si Ji's smile cracked, and after a while, the bitterness hidden in the smile appeared. "It really hits the nail on the head, Your Highness." Si Ji really wanted to promise you, but it seemed impossible.

"Sorry." Si Ji said, as if he was enduring something, his fingertips grasping the bed sheet seemed to be getting harder, but he still smiled.If she really died because of this, the crisis of the Second Highness can be resolved.It can also be... paid off.

"Why..." Huang Che said, Huang Cheng's whole body seemed to be plunged into an ice cellar, and he didn't know how much strength he used to restrain himself.

"Your Highness, ten years can change a lot of things." Si Ji said softly, "Si Ji should have died ten years ago, so it won't cause so much pain."

no!Huang Che really wanted to refute who was the one who brought the pain, obviously he was the one who brought Si Ji out of the sacrificial hall, but he kept his mind unclear.She wanted to get close to Si Ji but deliberately kept a distance because of guilt. It was her hesitation and uncertainty that caused Si Ji to make such a wrong choice.

Huang Che hugged Si Ji fiercely, and said in a suppressed voice, "I have already lost the ten years that I could have spent with you, now do you want me to spend the days without you again?" The voice carried Choking, "I can't do it..., I can't do it."

"...Your Highness." He raised his hand and grabbed Huang Che's clothes. Si Ji's smiling expression finally shattered, and tears welled up in his purple eyes. "Si Ji indirectly killed the patriarch of Huangzhi, Si Ji I thought you would never forgive me again."

Compared to your hatred, I still have no future and chose a cowardly death.For I am afraid to bear your gaze, which is more tormenting than death.

"I won't forgive you, so you will spend your whole life repaying it." Leaving a little to wipe away Si Ji's tears, Huang Che also had some tears in his eyes, but he still insisted on letting them swirl in his eyes.

What Huang Che said made Si Ji laugh out of tears, and despite the tears all over his face, he still nodded with a smile.

"Don't cry, then, I'll go and talk to A Yi first." After hugging Bao Siji, Huang Che put down a lot, and his tone was obviously happy.

Seeing Huang Che's happy expression, Si Ji raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Go."

"Wait for me." After letting go of Si Ji, Huang Che briskly walked towards the door.

Watching Huang Che go out, after the door was closed, Si Ji's still smiling expression suddenly became very painful, and he pressed his hand tightly to his heart, curling up into a ball.

There was a very sad look in Si Ji's eyes, and after a long while he finally fell down on the bed panting heavily, clenched his right hand in the void, as if trying to grab something.A regretful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, Si Ji is going to break his promise again..."

……

Bai Yi'an was in the study room looking at the battle reports that were constantly handed in. Just after he issued an order to increase the number of night watchmen at the city gate, he saw Huang Che walking in. Seeing the relaxed expression on her face, Bai Yi'an also breathed a sigh of relief. "Are you all right?"

"Yes." Huang Che smiled, "A Yi, thank you very much."

"I didn't do anything." Seeing Huang Che smiling happily, Bai Yi'an simply turned his back and read the battle report.

Seeing Bai Yi'an's appearance, Huang Che smiled and said nothing. If Bai Yi'an hadn't dispelled many worries before and let her recognize her own thoughts, she might still be as timid as before.

Holding the battle report, Bai Yi'an couldn't bear the speechless atmosphere, stood up abruptly, and said helplessly to Huang Che, "I'll go and see Si Ji too, let's go."

Si Ming is not called Si Ji because the high priest is someone who will devote himself to the patriarch.And Si Ji already had Huang Che in his heart, so it was not appropriate to call him that.So the three of them had a tacit understanding and only called Si Ji instead of Si Ming.

"Hehe, good." Huang Che smiled, walking side by side with Bai Yi'an.

Walking on the road, Bai Yi'an said, "For the past two days, you should stay with Si Ji well. On the battlefield, I will support you."

Huang Che was slightly surprised, and then blurted out "How can this be done."

"I say yes." She brushed her hair indifferently, and Bai Yi'an did a bit of chic in what was originally a charming and enchanting movement. "Your gate is in the city, so how far can you go? It's only a couple of days, and if I go out in person, it will have a better effect on motivating the army."

Huang Che understood Bai Yi'an's intention, but he just wanted to give himself and Si Ji some time, so he had no choice but to respond, "Alright, but you have to be careful. If you have anything to do, come and discuss it with me in time."

The two of them talked about the war all the way. When they were about to reach Si Ji's room, a purple figure suddenly jumped in front of him. Huang Che supported her. Seeing that it was Si Mo, he said in surprise, "Si Mo? What are you doing?" it's here."

Si Mo raised his head from Huang Che's arms, tears streaming down his face, "Your Highness, sister!... sister, she..." After saying a few words intermittently, Si Mo passed out due to excessive grief.

Huang Che suddenly felt a gust of cold air rushing from the bottom of his feet, straight to the top of his head.Seeing the situation, Bai Yi'an hugged Si Mo in Huang Che's arms, and said anxiously, "I'm looking at Si Mo, you go to see Si Ji first!"

Huang Che didn't even have time to say a word, he stumbled and ran towards Si Ji's room.

Bai Yi'an frowned, what happened, seeing Si Mo like this... found someone, handed Si Mo over, and ordered him to take Si Mo to rest in his room, so Bai Yi'an hurried to Si Mo's room.

Entering inside, he saw Huang Che knelt beside the bed, holding Si Ji's hand, propped up beside the bed, trembling all over.In the meantime, an uncontrollable scream escaped from his mouth.

Bai Yi'an also took a step back in shock from the scene in front of her, and said in disbelief, "How could it be..."

Si Ji in front of him was lying on the bed, his eyes were empty, and the corner of his mouth was a regretful smile, lifeless... Already, dead.
