"Kang Dang!" Liu Fan raised his foot and kicked, and the dagger fell on the road. He took Luo Lianyi's hand, pulled her into his arms, stroked her pale face and whispered: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"I'll only hurt you." Luo Lianyi looked at him.

Liu Fan didn't speak, just held her hand, passing his warmth to her.Feeling the warmth of his palm, Luo Lianyi gradually calmed down. She leaned quietly by his side, waiting for the storm to come.

"His Royal Highness, there is only one way to save the princess from death." Xiao Zhu was still kneeling on the ground.

"You say." There was a chill in Liu Fan's tone.

Xiaozhu took out a small bottle from his arms, handed it to Luo Lianyi and said, "Princess take this."

"What is this?" Liu Fan reached out to take the medicine bottle first and asked.

"Fake death. After the princess takes this, there will be no breathing or pulse within twelve hours, no different from a dead body, and it will naturally wake up after twelve hours." Xiao Zhu said.

Liu Fan looked at Xiao Zhu in disbelief.Xiao Zhu lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, Xiao Zhu made such an arrangement because he didn't want the princess to enter the palace. After twelve hours, Wuyou and the others will come to take the princess away."

"But her poison—" Liu Fan looked at Luo Lianyi worriedly.

"Wuyou will bring the princess up the mountain, maybe the master will have a way, Your Highness, the princess enters the palace, it is absolutely impossible to move an inch, you have to believe that Xiaozhu never intended to kill the princess, Xiaozhu did this, I hope His Highness can understand Xiaozhu heart." Xiao Zhu looked up at Liu Fan, with deep worry in his eyes.

Liu Fan didn't say anything more. After a moment of silence, he handed the medicine bottle in his hand to Luo Lianyi.

"Little Gudong, go back quickly. You and Sister Wuyou will meet the princess at Qilingpo, and you will take the princess up the mountain first." Xiao Zhu knelt on the ground and ordered Xiao Gudong.

"Yes." Little Gudong bid farewell to the prince, and said to Luo Lianyi, "Sister Lianyi, don't be afraid, Master is an expert outside the world, he will detoxify you." Luo Lianyi bit her lips and nodded, Little Gudong got on the horse, "Drive" With a sound, he turned the horse's head and galloped away.

"Get up." Liu Fan said to Xiao Zhu, there was a trace of alienation in his eyes, Xiao Zhu stood up, took a look at his expression, bowed his head and remained silent.

Luo Lianyi grabbed the medicine bottle, opened the cap and smelled it. "Is this thing edible? Is it a fake death or a real death? Will there be pain?" She frowned and thought, what she was afraid of now was not death, but an ugly death.

Liu Fan cast his eyes on Xiao Zhu again with distrust.Xiao Zhu said lightly: "Don't worry, if the princess dies, I, Xiao Zhu, will never live an extra hour."

Jiang Feng jumped off the carriage and said, "I think Miss Xiaozhu must have a reason for her actions."

"Princess, hurry up, the people sent by the Taifu are coming soon." Xiao Zhu urged Luo Lianyi.

Luo Lianyi frowned, smelled the potion, closed her eyes, swallowed the potion, and then looked at everyone in a daze, waiting for death to come.

"Ripple." Liu Fan hugged her.

"If I can't wake up, don't be sad, I just went back to my world, and I will miss you." Luo Lianyi felt her body gradually weakening, her eyelids dimmed, she grabbed Liu Fan's hand, and after staring at him , closed his eyes.

"Ripples!" Liu Fan called, he probed her breath with his hand, and then felt for her pulse, and sure enough it was gone. "Xiao Zhu!" He turned to look at Xiao Zhu in panic, afraid that she would tell him that she was really dead.

"Your Highness, don't worry, the princess will wake up in twelve hours. If the princess doesn't wake up, Xiao Zhu will immediately kill himself in front of His Highness." Xiao Zhu looked at him and said.

Liu Fan was speechless, he looked down at Luo Lianyi, who was already limp and had cold hands and feet, and hugged her sideways in his arms.

"His Royal Highness, put her in the carriage. After the Taifu's people come to examine the body, I will try to take the princess to Qilingpo. After meeting those sisters, we will go to Sanqing Temple together." Jiang Feng said to Liu Fan.

Liu Fan agreed, and he carried Luo Lianyi into the carriage, reluctant to let her go from his arms for a long time.Xiao Zhu looked at him from outside the carriage, with intense sadness on his face.Jiang Feng watched Xiao Zhu secretly, and sighed silently.

The killers sent by the Tai Tuo then arrived, and after meeting the Prince, they told what the Tai Tuo meant.

"Dongling Princess has died of a serious illness due to excessive fright and severe cold weather." Liu Fan sat in the carriage and replied calmly to the kneeling people outside.

"This—" The people outside looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't dare to say it, they wanted to see the princess with their own eyes.

Liu Fan picked up Luo Lianyi, jumped off the carriage, and said coldly, "Who's here for the autopsy?"

"The villain doesn't dare." Everyone knelt down on the ground, no one dared to come over, but they secretly saw the person in the prince's arms with a pale face and drooping hands, he was indeed a dead person.

"Go and report to Taifu, Princess Dongling has died of illness, and this crown prince will order someone to dispose of her body. In order not to offend the emperor, he will not bring her body into the palace." Luo Lianyi was bloodless. Covering her face with a brocade handkerchief, she carried her back to the carriage and laid her down on the soft couch.

After the Taifu's men left, Liu Fan stared at Luo Lianyi in the carriage, and refused to get off for a long time.

"Your Highness, the emperor's team to welcome you back to the palace is coming soon, please get off the car, Your Highness." Xiao Zhu urged with a scorched face.

Liu Fan had no choice but to hold her head, and put his lips on her cold lips, he reluctantly let go after a long time, put her down from the car, and said to Jiang Feng with cupped fists, "Please! Brother Jiang!"

"Your Highness is serious." Jiang Feng hurriedly clasped his fists in return.After he glanced at Xiao Zhu, he swung his whip to turn the carriage around, and galloped away.

Only Liu Fan and Xiao Zhu were left on the ancient road. After watching the carriage leave, they walked towards the capital one after the other. Neither of them spoke. The intimacy and tacit understanding in the past seemed to be gone, and the atmosphere was like that in this snowy day. The air was chillingly cold.

Xiaozhu looked at his back, the corners of his glazed white clothes were swaying in the wind, his hair was flying in the wind, there was an indescribable loneliness and vicissitudes, two lines of tears fell down suddenly.It is said that he is the luckiest dragon among people, but he has never had a day of freedom and happiness. She silently feels sorry for him.

There was the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and when the two looked up, they vaguely saw Cuihua swaying, flags fluttering, and crowds of people. They knew that the horses and chariots welcomed by the emperor had arrived. The tense nerves immediately relaxed, and there was a look of relief on his face.Liu Fan, on the other hand, missed Luo Lianyi. Seeing his father greet him personally, he was not even the slightest bit happy.

"Your Highness, I saw the emperor's chariot, let's go quickly." Xiao Zhu couldn't hide his excitement.

"En." Liu Fan said calmly, but he still quickened his pace.

They finally stood in front of the emperor, Liu Hongjing sat on the dragon chariot a little excitedly, and called out "Emperor!"

"I kowtow to my father." Liu Fan knelt down to pay homage, and Xiao Zhu also knelt in the snow.
