"I can't escape."

Gu Mingyan throws the rest half of the cake into her mouth and listens to Qi Rou's saying that there have been all kinds of things, but she only slips two words in her heart - evil fate.

She once wanted to leave and fly away to do what she wanted to do.

But fate makes people turn back. The man who abandoned her then turned back. Later, the whole thing made her feel that she made a fool of nature, found friends but hurt each other, calculated each other honestly, and was provoked by others when she joined hands.

"If you could get away, you wouldn't be coming back by intuition." Qi Rou said that her mouth was dry and her tongue was dry. She raised her hand and added a cup of tea for herself.

"In that case, do me another favor." Gu Mingyan quickly adds a cup of tea for her, and her eyes are crooked.

Qi Rou feels that things are not good, but she agrees.

When ghost and Mo San come back, Qi Rou just sits at the door of Gu Mingyan's room with a book in her hand and makes a silent gesture. Then they leave. It seems that they didn't find too many clues after a quick check today.

At night, the rain gradually decreased. A figure slipped out of the back door, avoiding the patrolling soldiers and the watchmen of the guard. He felt the back door of the Jingwang mansion with his memory, found the position of the firewood room that Qi Rou said, took out his semi-finished claws, climbed up the wall, and then landed steadily in the haystack.

The night watchman suddenly woke up and shouted, "who?"

After scanning the lantern for a while, I didn't see half a figure. Only the little flower running from the main courtyard was grinding its claws with hay. The little guy took a breath of relief and lifted the little flower to wipe the water drops on its body: "how can you come here again? If Miss Gu finds you are not here tomorrow, he will find you in the courtyard again."

The voice of the young man gradually went away, and Gu Mingyan climbed out of the haystack. There was almost nothing left in front of her, but she had no impression of the backyard. She had to look up for the tall dead wood, but only a thick black was left in the rainy night.

Touch the wall and walk all the way to the front porch, avoiding two watchmen.

But I still can't see the trace of the dead wood. I'm in a hurry.

When she decided to turn back, she saw several servant girls coming this way. She clenched her teeth and pushed open a door behind her. She dodged into the door and watched the servant girls carrying lanterns disappear around the corner. Then she clapped her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Standing by the door for a while, she raised her head and listened to the sound of rain in her ears.

And the black shadow in front of her made her slightly stunned. She remembered that in that sunny day, both Yinqiao and Qingdai had sat beside her. At the foot of her was the stone slab which was washed away by the dead wood. There were only bare branches on her head. Maybe there were some dead leaves floating from other yards.

These memories are like a flash in the pan, just like a heavy black.

She went on walking. There were brand-new bricks and stones under her feet, but the ground was always uneven. She walked carefully through the yard and stayed under the dead wood. There was a stone table and stone bench beside her. She was not the old man, and now she was the only one left.

"I thought you spent so much time to attack the king at night."

Gu Mingyan shuddered slightly and turned around, but he was covered by a cloak. His warm and broad hand held her hand and led her out. He said, "when can you spare time, I will die willingly."

"Where is death to be spoken of?" Gu Mingyan pulls the heavy cloak on his head.

"I didn't learn from you." Duan Chengxuan's voice was a little annoyed. Until she went under the eaves again, Duan Chengxuan helped her take off the Cape on her head and put it on her shoulders. Her fingertips brushed the hair on the side of her face to wipe away the water drops.

Gu Mingyan held a corner of his cloak and raised his head to ask him, "did you order Qingdai to be killed?"

"Yes." Duan Chengxuan nods and takes back his hand.

When hearing his own admission, Gu Mingyan's heart tightened suddenly.

"You don't explain?"

"Since you know this, someone must have told you." Duan Chengxuan took a step back and looked at the dead wood. He thought of the white bones under the dead wood and whispered, "I have done a lot of things you can't think of."

"Then I'll rest assured." Gu Mingyan took a step forward and pulled his skirt: "at least you didn't cheat me."

Duan Chengxuan was stunned for a moment, but he was flattered and took her hand: "I thought you..."

"You are not the same as the Jingwang I used to remember, but you killed Qingdai. You should atone for her in this life." Gu Mingyan lowers his voice, but he can't see Duan Chengxuan's face clearly. He can only touch the corner of his mouth with his hands up, and then stand on tiptoe to fall a dragonfly kiss.

I don't understand you any more.

Duan Chengxuan looked at the gray eyes and lost some confusion. He bent down a little to kiss the tip of her nose. He held her cheek in both hands: "stay in the medicine house well until the matter is solved..."

"I want to go to the mass grave again, and even if I stay in the medicine house, it won't help." Gu Mingyan grabbed his two hands and raised his head to see him: "besides, I'm allowed to move, you're not allowed to."

"You are more domineering than I am." Duan Chengxuan lets her grasp her two hands willfully.

"I learned from you, too." Gu Mingyan patted the back of his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly: "ghosts and Mo San don't know that I'm out. When is it better not to leave now?"

"You don't care about your body." Duan Chengxuan pressed her with a calm face.

"In a hurry." Gu Mingyan is right and strong.

For a headache, Duan Chengxuan had to restrain the smile on her face. She recited her voice and whispered, "the Cape covers her head."

Gu Mingyan hurriedly raised his cloak and covered most of Duan Chengxuan's head.

The body behind is always so light. Duan Chengxuan's mind is to take her to eat something tomorrow. Only then can he step forward and leap forward, fall steadily on the eaves, and leave jingwangfu quietly.

When he landed firmly on the street, Gu Mingyan yanked his neck: "now the gate is still closed, it seems that he can't get out."

Duan Chengxuan staggers a few steps, claps her waist side: "this king has the method."

"Are you familiar with the gate guards?" Asked Gu Mingyan.

"Most of them were promoted by my king. They are loyal." Duan Chengxuan said in a deep voice, and then went on: "the red girl went to Alan's side several times, but found that the guards of the city gate were not clean for several days. I have sent someone to investigate."

"It's very reassuring of you to do things." Gu Mingyan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately patted him again: "there are a lot of dead people in the mass graves. Today I am the same..."

"Some of them were sent from the fishing village, and most of them were dead prisoners pulled out of the prison directly." Duan Chengxuan's answer was flowing, but after listening to the voice of the person behind him for a long time, he said: "it seems that we really have a soul."

"Your Highness, Prince Jing, is also a poor talker?" Gu Mingyan's discontented shriveled mouth made him feel more comfortable.

At least in this world, there are people who think like her.
