Chapter 230

Dongcheng, the residence of the magistrate.

Shangguan Chonglian rode fast and drove on the starry night. After walking for more than half a day, he galloped to Dongcheng. When he arrived in Dongcheng, it was probably in the middle of the night.

"What are you talking about, the princess is missing?!"

When Shangguan Chonglian arrived, what he learned was the news of Xueyi's disappearance.

"Bastard, how do you do things!"

Shangguan Chonglian was furious, and the magistrate and the other officials were all sweating, "My lord, really, it was the princess who ordered that no one should enter the room to make noise. The princess said she was not feeling well, probably because she was tired, and she wanted to rest." After a few days, I was off the job and didn't dare to disturb, but today the guards of the princess broke in, only to find that the person inside is not the princess at all, and the princess has been gone for three days!"

"Back to the little prince, it's because of the lowly ranks and the lack of protection, please forgive me!" said the leading guard.

"Have you sent someone to investigate?"

"Sent it!" The magistrate hurriedly said, "I searched for a full day today, and the lower officials sent all the elite officers and soldiers of the government office to look for the princess, and I think they will find it in a few days!"

"Not yet?" Shangguan Chonglian's cold eyes swished at the magistrate, "If you can't find anyone tomorrow, you will just pack up and leave!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The magistrate was so anxious that his intestines were green, but Shangguan Chonglian was thinking in his heart, Xue Yi obviously left the mansion quietly by himself, why did she leave the mansion secretly?That being the case, I'm afraid she will have the intention to avoid it, and no matter how hard these people search, they may not be able to find out why.

In the past few days, the situation in the DPRK has become tense, and the Eighth Emperor Uncle may not be able to get away.

"Can someone notify the Eighth Emperor Uncle about this matter?" Shangguan Chonglian asked after thinking about it.

"Not yet. I wanted to search for it tonight but found nothing. Then, I will fly a pigeon to report to the regent king." The leading guard replied.

"There's no need to report it for the time being. Eighth Emperor Uncle is at a critical moment right now. Don't let him be distracted. Leave it to me to find the princess."

"But the Regent ordered that"

"Don't worry, if I have something to do, you can find someone with me!" Although Shangguan Chonglian was handsome and charming, the coldness that permeated from those eyes was as deterrent as natural.He didn't make a burden, and took people out overnight to look for Xueyi.

-----------------------------------

'Boom boom boom! '

There was a knock on the door, Xue Yi gave Abi a look, Abi tidied up and went to the door and opened it, Xiao Er poked her head in, "Girl, these are the herbs you want, I will give them to you." I bought it."

Abi took the medicine bag in his hand, "Thank you little brother."

"Hi, you're welcome." The waiter in the shop seemed to have no intention of leaving, so he poked his head inside again.

"What, the little brother still has something to do?" Abi stood in front of him calmly.

"No, here, the little one just wanted to see what else the girl needs. If the small shop is neglectful, then the little one will be damned." After speaking, she was about to barge in, but Abi stayed still and used some internal force Keep him out.

"Second brother has a heart. If we need something, we will naturally tell my brother, this is an ingot of gold, you take it first, and there will be a lot of trouble these days." Abi took out an ingot of gold and handed it to him. That little second brother, seeing this shining gold, that little second brother has long since thrown away the tension and doubts in his heart, and pretended to come to get the gold with a smile: "Don't bother, don't bother."

After taking the gold, the second brother was overjoyed and thought to himself, if someone among them really got the plague, why would they need medicinal materials?

"Abi, I'm sorry for you." Xue Yi breathed a sigh of relief, seeming to dispel the scruples in the little girl's heart for the time being.

To save Shu'er, a clean environment is necessary. She can't take Shu'er back to the magistrate, not to mention that the group of officials will be scared to death, even the guards sent by Shangguan Fenglan will not just watch her touch Shu'er of.If Xiao Er knew that someone here was infected with the plague, at least they would be kicked out of the house, and at worst they would be reported to the officers and soldiers to isolate them from those who had the plague.At that time, it was undoubtedly even more difficult to save people.

Moreover, she still has to wait for someone!

Abi smiled, "It's not difficult to steal some gold from a rich man, princess, I'm just worried about you."

"Don't worry, you will do as I say from now on. I want to save Shu'er and both of us. Abi, do you understand, do you trust me?" Xue Yi stared at Abi.

Abi nodded firmly: "I believe."

A warm current flowed through Xue Yi's heart. In fact, she didn't know what to do, but she had to tell herself that it would work. There was no way out. After Shu'er was cured, not only Shu'er's life, but maybe this plague would be saved. Perhaps there is still room for countless people to be cured, instead of waiting to die in vain.

Clutching the trembling hands under the sleeves, she was afraid to watch a life pass by her hands, and she was afraid that she did not have the ability, and even more afraid that she would not have the courage to retreat in the end. This is a difficult road, and she needs someone to be firm. Giving her strength, and Abi is like a ray of sunshine in her life, always bringing her infinite stability when she is hesitating.

"Mother. Mother"

Shu'er yelled unconsciously, and there was a hint of crying in the immature child's voice.The waving little hands kept scratching the rash on his body, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

"Princess, let me come!" Seeing that Xueyi was about to grab Shu'er's hand, Abi hurried to catch up. Xueyi stopped Abi, "Abi, help me cut some strips of cloth."

"Cloth?"

"Well, it looks like I can only tie Shu'er's hands and feet to prevent her from scratching her face."

"it is good."

"Remember you and I have to wash with hot water every half an hour."

"remember."

"Besides, go and buy some clean clothes. The children's and ours need to be changed frequently."

"Ah."

"." Xue Yi ordered and explained the matters one by one, and Abi naturally handled them in an orderly manner.

------------------------------------
On the cold bluestone brick road, a carriage rolled by.

A layer of gray ash was raised, and a fallen leaf was brought up.

"parking."

'Woo! '

The carriage stopped abruptly in front of an inn.

Bai Dieshuang came out of the carriage, brushed the dust from the ground, and hurried into the store, "Hey, this guest officer, are you eating or picking up?" The second brother came up to meet him quickly.

Bai Dieshuang glanced at each other coldly, and took out a piece of paper from her hand.

The little second brother's gaze was still on her beautiful eyes, but the black veil covered her face below the eyes, the little second brother took the paper and looked at it, and smiled quickly: "Oh, it's you, come on, please feel free to Come here, little one." The younger brother enthusiastically led Bai Dieshuang to the guest room on the second floor, Dieshuang suppressed the nervousness that was rushing in her heart, and walked faster and faster, as if wishing she could walk to the end in one go.

"That's it. If you have any orders, the girl, you can summon them at any time." The second elder brother pointed his hand and brought Bai Dieshuang to the door of Xueyi's room. Bai Dieshuang stretched out his hand and handed out an ingot of gold under his sleeve, " I'm tired."

The younger brother was dazzled by the gold for a moment.

Mother, what kind of windfall is this?
How could he let his dog get such a benefit, just lead a way, and get gold?

Thinking about it, the second brother was so happy that he had already accepted the gold and bit it, "It's true, it's true! Hehe!"

"Okay, you can go down, you don't have to come up without orders." Die Shuang said coldly.

"Yes, yes!" The second brother hurriedly hid the gold under his armpits, flicked the handkerchief on his shoulders, and went downstairs on the wooden stairs.

Standing in front of the door, Dieshuang shook her nervous and trembling hands.

An obsessive joy floated beneath the veil.

She reached out to knock on the door, but after thinking about it, she pushed the door open forcefully, stepped on the threshold, and shouted happily: "Lan! Shu'er!" No one in the room responded, and Dieshuang stopped in her tracks. .She went inside and searched eagerly, when she suddenly heard faint weeping sounds on the bed, she pushed back the curtain and was startled.

"Shu'er!?"

"No! Who did it, who did it!" She couldn't help but tremble with anger, only to see that Shu'er's hands were tied, there were tears on her face, and she was babbling non-stop with her eyes closed. Doing a weak struggle.

Die Shuang felt a pain in her heart, and was about to pick up Shu'er, but suddenly she screamed and took a few steps back: "Ah! Plague! It's a plague!? How could it be... How could it be! Shu'er, my Shu'er! Infect the plague."

In the eyes that were still in pain just now, a surge of fear and fear suddenly surged.

Die Shuang struggled, her heart ached, but she didn't dare to get closer.The mouth kept shouting: "Lan! Lan! Where are you! How could this happen? Why did Shu'er become like this! Our child, our child."

Suddenly the door closed with a bang, and Dieshuang turned her head in shock.

"Die Shuang, stay safe." Xue Yi appeared in front of her eyes.

The leaping joy in Die's eyes instantly turned into a bloodbath. She shook her hands and gritted her teeth, her eyes tearing apart with hatred: "Nalan Xueyi! It's you! It's your fault, right! You took me away!" Shu'er, you tricked me into coming here, didn't you!"

"How about it, does the handwriting on the letter still look like his handwriting?" Xue Yi's face was neither happy nor sad, but a pair of eyes as deep as a cold pool, pressing her forward step by step. "You have been with him for so many years, and you can't even tell whether his handwriting is true or false. Is it because you are too eager to 'get back together' with him and live together with the child? Or do you not love him enough? "

Die Shuang was angry and hated, her face flushed red for a while, and then turned pale: "Nalan Xueyi! You are so cruel! You treat my daughter like this, you let her be infected with the plague, you Shu'er who killed me, you must die! You must die!"

"Humph."

Xue Yi sneered lightly, "Shu'er is your daughter, you know how to cherish it, isn't it the flesh of my heart that I don't regret it? You can hurt my child, why can't I let your daughter—— No, get, ok, die?!"

Xue Yi's voice was cold, her words were harsh, and the frightening coldness in her eyes made Die Shuang stagger, and she took several steps back and was forced to hit the table behind her.

Such eyes made Die Shuang have a slight illusion for a moment.

She trembled slightly in fear, but there was deep unwillingness and hatred in her eyes, why Nalan Xueyi was able to escape every time, why she couldn't kill the woman she hated every time!

She smiled back with hatred, and her face turned ferocious: "Nalan Xueyi, you are not qualified to have his child. Back then you ruined him to the point of being inhuman and ghost. In those years, how would you be? If it weren't for me By his side, he has already died so many times, why do you still have everything about him, what do you rely on?! It was you who made Dongling almost ruined by your own hands, and it was you who killed him Pushed to the brink of death, all of this is due to you! It is you! You thought that you repelled the army of the Xiyi Kingdom, saved a few people in the fire, and the people of Dongling worshiped you as a Bodhisattva? You thought that what you did Then everything can be forgotten? You are an evil star! You are a shameless woman!" Die Shuang laughed, her eyes rubbing the madness of pain and hatred: "You should die, and your child should die even more! "

"Snapped!"

There was a clear slap in the room, and Die tilted her head, and was slapped against the edge of the table behind her by the slap, and the black veil covering her face fell to the ground.

"You!" Dieshuang was surprised and hated at the same time.

Xue Yi's eyes were as cold as pools, and his face was as frosty. A ball of blood-red flames gathered in his eyes and approached Dieshuang: "This slap is for my child, because——you should slap!"

Dieshuang gritted her teeth fiercely, and raised her hand to slap Xueyi back. Xueyi seemed to have expected it, and reached out to grab Dieshuang's wrist first.

"Snapped!"

Another sound fell on Die Shuang's face, and Die Shuang's head was thrown to the side, and a bloody taste filled his mouth.

"This slap is for the countless soldiers who died on the battlefield because of you at the border of Dongling! Because—you should slap! Because—you can hate me, but you can't hate your own country, and you shouldn't betray it. Your country, be a spy!"

"Snapped!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and slapped Dieshuang's red and swollen face fiercely, "This slap is for myself, because——you should slap!"

Die Shuang's mouth was covered with blood, and her eyes were like torches, staring at Xue Yi fiercely.

"It's up to you to kill or cut, but I want to tell you, Nalan Xueyi, even if I, Bai Dieshuang, do a ghost, I will never let you go! Never—————!" The sea of ​​hatred, desire and joblessness has been burning scarlet and crazy, burning all reason.Die Shuang leaned on the table, reached out to touch a candlestick, her eyes flashed fiercely, and raised the candlestick straight up to Xue Yi.

Xue Yi was not in a hurry, she was sure to back away easily.

But at this moment, a hidden weapon flew towards him, only to hear Die Shuang scream in pain, the candlestick in his hand rolled to the ground with a few thuds, Abi flew over, staring coldly, holding the pain in his wrist Call the butterfly double.

The two of them looked at each other in disbelief, and suddenly a strong gust of wind blew in front of them, and a black figure flashed and landed in front of the two of them, with powerful arms pinching Dieshuang's slender neck, with cold eyes The killing intent is completely manifested.

Xue Yi didn't have time to be surprised why Shangguan Chonglian would appear here suddenly, she saw that his palm was pinching Die Shuang, and hurriedly shouted: "Wait! Chonglian!"

Shangguan Chonglian turned her head, but didn't let go of Dieshuang's hand. He looked at Xueyi with secretive eyes, "Why, you want to kill her with your own hands to avenge Bugui? Well, come on, you come and help her." Revenge for my own child!" He let go of his hand after speaking, and at the same time drew out the long sword in his waist, held the sword in Xue Yi's hand, and pointed the sword point directly at Die Shuang.

"Ugly girl, think about the unrepentant death, think about your pain, think about what she did, she deserves to die!" Shangguan Chonglian's words were like a catalyst, constantly catalyzing the hidden energy in her heart. grief.

not regret!not regret!
Mother wants to avenge you!
The child's cries came from all directions, pouring into her ears, she couldn't hear Shangguan Chonglian's voice, she couldn't hear all the surrounding sounds, only the unrepentant crying echoed in her mind.

"Nalan Xueyi, what are you waiting for, you killed my Shu'er, even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go!"

"mother"

"Mother, woo woo" buzzing in my mind, a thin female voice came in, it was Shu'er calling, do you want to attack?Do you really want to kill Dieshuang to avenge Buhui?
Can hatred really be repaid with blood?

Die Shuang is dead, can Bugui come back to life?

What about Shu'er?
What is the difference between Die Shuang and Die Shuang when she does this?But also a bloody executioner.

But how can the pain of losing without regret be healed, how can her poor child rest in peace!

The child is crying, no regrets crying!

No. It's Shu'er who is crying, Shu'er is calling mother, she can't do this
She - still can't do it!

The hand holding the sword hilt trembled slightly, and suddenly a warm palm covered the back of her hand. When she opened her eyes full of tears, what caught her eyes was Shangguan Fenglan's deep and unpredictable heart like midnight. look.

Xueyi was shocked.

"Xue, do you really want to kill Dieshuang to avenge the child?"

Xue Yi stared fixedly at Shangguan Fenglan, and Shangguan Chonglian at the side shouted: "Uncle Eight Emperors, to this day, don't you still want to protect the white butterfly pair!"

Shangguan Fenglan's gaze remained calm, he just looked deeply at Xueyi and waited for Xueyi's answer.

He is, is he going to intercede for Die Shuang?
Or did he think it was cruel for her to kill Dieshuang in order to avenge Bugui?Or, he couldn't bear it anymore?

Xue Yi's heart turned back and forth, and she gradually narrowed her eyes: "Why not?"

She felt her hand trembling, and he held her hand, pulling the hilt out of her hand, "If you want, then I will stab this sword."

His words undoubtedly shocked the other three.

Xue Yi didn't expect Shangguan Fenglan to do this, and was stunned for a while, Dieshuang slowly smiled coldly, and the remaining trace of longing and affection in his eyes was gone.

Is this the man she loves?
This is her child's father?

This is the man she was willing to take risks for him?

She had never seen him clearly - so - ruthless!
"Lan, thank you for your unfeeling, it is you who freed me from the bitter sea of ​​love and hate. From now on, I only have hatred and no love anymore, but I have no future, and I can die in your hands today , and God has blessed me." Two lines of burning tears rolled down, and Dieshuang closed her eyes.

The sword was cold and blunt, with a cold light.

The tip of the sword rested on Die Shuang's heart, and with slow force, the veins in his hand holding the sword burst out, and blood flowed out along the cut hole in the clothes, and the tip of the sword pierced a point.

"No!" Xue Yi held Shangguan Fenglan's hand and shook her head. "Dieshuang, let's go." Xueyi's lips were pale, and facing Dieshuang said calmly: "You used to be kind to him, I can't let him kill you with his own hands."

Butterfly's eyes are bloodshot, and his eyes are about to split.

Xue Yi said slowly: "Shu'er is indeed infected with the plague disease, but I will try my best to treat her, not like what you saw, so when Shu'er recovers, I will return her to you, not yet."

Die Shuang suddenly laughed so that her whole body was trembling: "Nalan Xueyi, do you think I am blind? Shu'er is suffering from the plague, and you think you are a Daluo god, no, the gods can't save you, the plague, yes! Plague! It was you who deliberately killed my child, it was you!" Die Shuang stumbled, crying and biting her lips, and rushed out of the room, knocking over many guests along the way, and fell out of the inn gate.

"Princess, if you let her go, she may not let you go! Why didn't the princess kill her? If the princess can't do it, then let me kill her for the princess!" Xinci let Bai Dieshuang go away alive.Regardless of Shangguan Fenglan's presence, she was about to chase him out immediately.

"Abi, Chonglian, you all come back!"

Xue Yi's shout blocked the two people's footsteps, "You think I don't hate, but I wake up, hate can only make people live too tired, can life for life really make no regrets come back to life, isn't it me? I don't want to kill her, but I don't want to turn myself into a person who is blinded by hatred like her. I only kill and kill people for the hatred in my heart. Then what is the difference between me and her. Her fault will naturally get what she deserves punishment and retribution."

Shangguan Fenglan pulled her body, "Xue, is this really what you really think?"

"Yes, but not all."

Xue Yi stared at his face with blurred vision, "Because I don't want Shu'er to ask why her father killed her own mother when she grows up? That's too cruel to you, and it's too cruel to Shu'er. I don't want it." You have lived your whole life in guilt towards Shu'er, and I don't want you to live so tiredly."

----------------------------------------
"Miss! Miss, wait for me!" Baozhu shouted feebly as she straddled a heavy burden and kept chasing after Miss Gongsun.

Fortunately, I rode back from the barracks to Dongcheng, and arrived after a day's journey.

But he didn't eat anything that day, and when he arrived in Dongcheng, he learned that Xueyi was missing, and the little prince went out to look for it, but he disappeared, and the little sister Gongsun went back to the mansion to continue looking.

"Ouch!"

Baozhu fell to the ground, and Gongsun Xiaomei stopped and ran back when she heard the sound, "Baozhu, what's wrong with you?"

"Miss, I know that the little prince is your spiritual food, but we are not a body of iron. We haven't slept or eaten all day and night. I, I can't walk anymore!" Baozhu complained with puffed cheeks.

"You." Gongsun Xiaomei couldn't help but sat down on the spot, although she was very anxious, "Okay, let's rest in the shade of this tree for a while before we go on our way. There is dry food in the bag, you eat some Fill your stomach, and don’t cry hungry again when you’re on the road.”

Baozhu happily thumped her numb limbs, unloaded her burden and took food.

"Miss, where are you going to find, find the little prince?" Bao Zhu asked while chewing with steamed buns in her mouth.

Younger Sister Gongsun broke off a small piece of steamed bun and put it into her mouth. She didn't know the taste, so she shook her head: "I, I don't know either."

"cough cough cough cough"

Baozhu was choking, Gongsun Xiaomei quickly smoothed her back, "Eat slowly, I'm not in a hurry, just you, be careful not to choke."

"No, miss, you don't even know where to find the young prince, are we going to wander around all over the street?" Baozhu groaned in her heart.

Gongsun Xiaomei was depressed and lowered her head lightly, "I, I don't trust him."

Baozhu stopped biting the steamed bun, holding the shoulder of little sister Gongsun, "Miss, I'm sorry, Baozhu made you sad again, so how about it, wherever Miss goes, Baozhu will follow, Miss points east, Baozhu will never dare to go Xi, don’t complain about suffering or hunger, as long as the lady doesn’t cry.”

"I didn't cry, Baozhu." Younger Sister Gongsun raised her head, a moon-like smile floated on her cheeks.

Baozhu's nose soured.She has been with the lady for so long, how could she not know that the more the lady smiled so softly, the more she cried in her heart.

"Ah!" Baozhu clapped her hands suddenly: "Miss, how about this, let's draw a portrait of the little prince, and then ask all the way, so that we can find someone!"

"is it okay?"

"Sure!"

"But, I, I'm not sure if I can draw Brother Lian."

"Miss, you are all masters who hired famous teachers to teach you piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. No master has ever praised you. If Baozhu says yes, Miss will definitely be able to do it!"

"Baozhu, hurry up, let's find pens, inks, papers and inkstones now!" Gongsun Xiaomei's heart had already flown out, and she was about to run away after grabbing the orb. People hurried to the street to find a painting shop.

In the far corner, several pairs of eyes were staring at the direction where her master and servant were leaving.

"That's the princess of the county of Shangguan Chonglian, the little prince?"

"Can't be wrong."

"Keep watching!"

"Yes!"

Not long after, Baozhu and Gongsun Xiaomei walked out of the calligraphy and painting shop.

Younger Sister Gongsun is holding a portrait in her hand, she is looking at it with fascination, her long eyebrows are heroic, and she is charming and enchanting.But it doesn't show the softness of a woman, a pair of charming peach blossom eyes, with a cold smile, there is evil in the smile, and masculinity in the evil.

"Miss, what you drew is simply a god, how can it be a little prince, it's so beautiful!" Baozhu praised repeatedly, staring at the handsome man in the painting for a long time, her maid couldn't help but blush.

It turns out that my uncle is more pleasing to the eye the more he looks at it!

Well, in the past, I didn't want to see you because my uncle snubbed Miss, but now I think this uncle is not bad!

With slender fingers, Gongsun Xiaomei caressed those brows and eyes. No matter how she drew, she couldn't catch the affection in his eyes, the kind of eyes that can only be seen when facing Xue Yi.

Although he was smiling at her, there was more guilt in that smile.

not love.

not love.
