Chapter 617

The imperial edict of Baili Jingqi was sent to the Marquis's residence in Pingyang, the border city. It wasn't long before the good news came from the border.

Launching a fierce offensive, the Mobei enemy forces retreated step by step in Fang Tieyi once again lost and fled.

Everyone who heard the news was cheered. Even the market in Kyoto, which has been in a slump for a long time, has become more and more lively.

However, this good situation did not last long. The news that came back again was just like what Fang Tieyi had encountered. The enemy troops in Mobei had been defeated many times. No matter how many battles they had suffered in the hands of Pingyang Marquis, they would continue to harass as long as they had time.

But the good news is that Pingyang Hou has rich experience in dealing with the situation. Compared with Fang Tieyi's frontal confrontation, Lin congyue chooses to consolidate his defense instead of fighting the enemy aggressively, so it's much easier to hold the city.

However, as the two armies fought and retreated, the time passed slowly in the sound of weapons colliding. In the blink of an eye, a year passed.

"What's the date of today?"

Pushed open the door of the alchemy room, Huo Mingzhu looked up at the haze of the sky, casually asked the little noble son who had been waiting outside.

"Tell me, it's August of the fourth year of Ningkang."

The little noble son was shocked. For nearly a year, the empress locked herself in the alchemy room every day, and asked herself to send pills to the imperial study day after day, but she was never accepted by the emperor, so she

She did not dare to look at the pale face of the empress. It was a strange pallor that she had not seen in the sky for a long time. The little noble son was afraid that she would be offended by the surprise on her face.

"Ah - is it August again?"

Huo Mingzhu gave a bitter smile. She turned her eyes and looked at the trees in the yard which were neglected and became desolate.

Originally, the palace was specially allocated by Baili Jingqi. When a couple were young, she and Baili Jingqi spent the happiest time here as a couple.

Therefore, the flowers and trees here were all arranged by themselves and Baili Jingqi, and they are full of the painstaking efforts of two people.

But when Baili Jingqi changed, he never set foot in his own palace, never came to this place that only belongs to one family

Because he knew that Baili Jingqi would not come back, Huo Mingzhu closed the place completely and turned it into her own alchemy room.

See here originally flourishing, see them gradually scattered decline, as she once wishful thinking believe feelings.

"Today is her death day..."

Slowly blinked his eyes, Huo Mingzhu's eyes dry, but the heart ache.

She raised her feet and walked toward the bedroom, holding a special whistle calling Yingwei to show up.

A year has passed, but the Suzou case has not made any progress. Who is the real culprit behind the scenes behind mammy Zhang's instigation? Now we have found out, but we have not found even a tiny clue.

Other people are still living as usual, even Fang Tieyi has not been able to come back once. Seeing his first wife and the child who had never met but died early, Huo Mingzhu's heart is desolate. It seems that in addition to himself, no one remembers that there was a noisy but lively figure who would accompany him in the harem from time to time.

The fall of the two lives did not change anyone's life trajectory. The vicious murder case covered with dust as time went by, as if no one cared.

Except for myself.
