As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 404 Farewell
Xie Zhaozhao looked down at him expressionlessly.

Chu Nanxuan was about to say something, but Xie Zhaozhao suddenly raised his hand and slashed his sword towards his throat. Suddenly Chu Nanxuan could no longer make any sound.

Chu Nanxuan's body was convulsing and shaking, and his eyes were staring at Xie Zhaozhao. Now there was only strong hatred, but in the blink of an eye, the hatred turned into a slight fatigue.

In the end, a wry smile appeared on his face, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his face.

For as long as he can remember, his mother has told him that his true identity is a descendant of the former royal family. She is not his mother, but his aunt.

He must shoulder the heavy responsibility of supporting the previous emperor's career.

But the country is falling apart. How easy is it for him, a descendant of the former royal family, to regain control of the country?
The further he went, the more he realized that the chances of success in this matter were slim.

Soldiers, counselors, money and food are all indispensable, and the most terrifying thing is that they also need the support of fortune.

He walked with great difficulty and was exhausted.

I can’t count how many times I wanted to escape and give up.

But his mother's constant urging and spurring behind him made him unable to give up or escape.

Until his mother risked her own life to protect him from the capital and came to Danzhou, the burden that had been weighing on him for many years was not relieved by his mother's death, but instead became even heavier.

The people behind him were countless nameless people who had sacrificed their lives for this moment. The blood made him unable to stop and could only move forward.

So he completely embarked on this path of no return.

At the end of his life, he looked at the cold and devoid of warmth woman in front of him, holding a long sword, and felt happy for a moment.

The absurd demon was stunned for half his life, but in the end he died in her hands.

In those years, we rode horses together through flowers, walked in the rain, and admired the moon on snowy nights... In fact, there was a time when we had the extravagant hope of beauty, even a little bit.

It's a pity that the truth is different after all.

Now that I can die in one place, I think I will have no regrets in this life.

He looked at the woman's figure, his eyes gradually blurred, and finally fell to the ground and breathed his last breath.

Xie Zhaozhao closed his eyes and stepped back, leaning against the stone wall to rest his mind.

After a while, she began to check the masonry in the closed stone room to see if there was any mechanism.

It's just that the walls of this stone chamber are smooth, and the sound after knocking all the bricks is exactly the same. Unlike the stone chamber in Qiyang Villa in Qizhou, there is still a mystery to be solved.

It's really completely sealed here.

There are only two wall sconces.

One was taken down by Chu Nanxuan just now to block her soft sword, and the other one was still hanging on the wall.

Xie Zhaozhao took a breath and quickly walked over to remove the wall lamp. The result was indeed no mystery.

Xie Zhaozhao looked at the closed stone room and the wall lamp in her hand for a moment, then loosened her fingers and let the lamp fall to the ground. She also took a few steps back, closed her eyes and slid against the wall to sit on the ground.

This place is completely closed. Even if there is a mechanism, it can only be opened from the outside. There is nothing you can do inside.

Xie Zhaozhao glanced over the lifeless body of Chu Nanxuan and closed his eyes tightly.

The sound of soldiers banging on the stone wall continued to be heard outside.

Xie Zhaozhao knew that he had to maintain his strength at this time and wait for others to rescue him.

However, she had not taken in water or rice for two days and two nights, and she had just had another fierce battle. She was exhausted and weak. She only lasted about an hour or two before she felt dizzy and uncomfortable all over her body.

It seemed like breathing was starting to become tight and difficult.

This place... is probably completely closed, with no air holes, which is why it is so depressing and uncomfortable.

If you are depressed to a certain extent, will you die of exhaustion?

Death... that's all. Why would you die with this person?

"What bad luck..." Xie Zhaozhao said weakly and threw the soft sword in his hand to the ground with a clatter.The sound of soldiers banging on the stone wall outside could no longer be heard.

Xie Zhaozhao didn't know whether he was so dizzy that he had hearing problems or something else.

The thin air made her unable to think, and her mind was confused and confused.

She felt like she had returned to her previous life, when she was wandering around Yun Qi as a fool.

She couldn't see the light during the day and could only stay and wander in his dormitory. She could walk around at night, but as long as she was too far away from him, she would feel a tearing pain all over her body.

This left her to follow him.

She even laughed at herself at that time, thinking that she could feel pain even if she was a ghost.

The dormitory was empty.

She floated around the bedroom alone.

Ghosts will not be sleepy or hungry, and some will only have long periods of loneliness.

You clearly see someone in front of you, but you can't communicate. You can only talk to yourself and entertain yourself.

It was better when Yun Qi was here. In addition to government affairs, he would occasionally read and play the piano. Xie Zhaozhao also read and listened to the piano. There was always some sound, and there was someone who could call Xie Zhaozhao to relieve his loneliness.

It would be really boring if he wasn't here.

She heard the wind blowing and the leaves rustling outside, but she could only stand in the hall and imagine what it would be like, not daring to get close to the window to take a look.

Because the sun would make her extremely miserable.

Fortunately, at that time, Yun Qi would go to the Royal Garden for a walk every night, so she could follow him outside to take a look at the scenery to relax.

She remembered that there was a garden of Chaoyin bamboo planted in the deepest part of the imperial garden. The bamboo leaves rustled in the wind, and the sound was very pleasant.

Yun Qi always liked to go there, and sometimes he could even stay in the garden for a night, and then be woken up by the eunuch before dawn to go back and change clothes for the morning court.

At that time, he had grown into a heroic young man, and his unsmiling appearance in his dragon robe was really scary.

The eunuchs and officials who came in and out of Yulongtai were respectful and cautious.

Some officials always wanted to test the harem, but every time they opened their mouths, they were blocked by Yun Qi with a cold look.

His imperial majesty seemed to be engraved in his bones.

Xie Zhaozhao didn't know how long he would stay with Yun Qi, or whether he would continue to follow Yun Qi endlessly.

But one day in a garden full of bamboos, Xie Zhaozhao felt an unprecedented discomfort. It was not the tearing pain all over her body that she had experienced before when the sun shone on her. Instead, there was a strong force that pulled her continuously. Float backwards.

She seemed to hear an old and long voice saying: "It's done."

done?

What became?
Xie Zhaozhao, who was in a daze, could not distinguish between reality and fantasy. He only felt that he was being taken away by a suction force. Seeing the handsome and handsome face of the young emperor sleeping on the rocking chair in the bamboo forest getting further and further away, his heart hurt unbearably.

What's going on...Did he die again?
But she hasn't married him yet...

They didn't even have much time to spend together.

He has court affairs to be busy with, and she has family affairs to worry about.

When they meet occasionally, they don't seem to have any intimate words.

She thought that they would have a lot of time to be together after the important things were done, but the separation outside Qizhou City turned out to be a farewell forever.

Countless fragmentary memories passed through the confused consciousness.

She saw a young man running all the way from the corridor. As he got closer and closer, his speed became slower and slower, and finally he was walking slowly when he reached her.

He grew up from an enthusiastic and childish boy to a restrained and handsome young man. He stopped in front of her and said to her: "Zhaozhao, you really look like a wife sending her husband off now."
