The hand he used to support the horse gently lifted up, slowly drawing across Yun Qixi's face, her eyebrows, her eyes, her nose.

"Willow-leaf-like eyebrows, delicate nose, water-like eyes …" His voice was low and hoarse. His gaze followed the tips of his fingers and landed on her face. His dark eyes seemed to be suppressing a strong sense of nostalgia, as well as sadness.

The current Yun Chong was somewhat pitiful, and even helpless!

Yun Qixi stiffened her body and did not move. Although the current situation and the current situation was disadvantageous to her, she had a strong sixth sense, feeling that even if Yun Chong knew that she was fake, she would not harm her.

"You really look like her, really! "I really want to continue being muddle-headed, but in the end, you're not her, not …" Yun Chong shook his head lightly. It was painful for him to realize this fact.

From the very first time she saw Yun Chong, Yun Qixi felt that his feelings for the Miss Er weren't as simple as brotherly love. But now, that feeling became even stronger. Especially his bright eyes, which seemed to be drunk yet not intoxicated, as if his emotions were suppressed to the point that they could explode at any moment.

It was an indisputable fact that Miss Er had died, but she was not the one who had caused her death. On the contrary, she was only fulfilling her Miss Er's last wish, so she had nothing to panic about.

"General Yun." Yun Qixi moistened her throat, wanting to say something to comfort him. But when Yun Chong heard the address, she suddenly laughed, the laughter did not seem to be able to stop, it resonated throughout the entire night, it was actually very sad.

Under the moonlight, Yun Qixi could vaguely see the light flashing in his eyes. In the end, she could hear a kind of weeping in the laughter.

Yun Chong raised his head and stared at the night sky for a while before suddenly turning around. He carried Yun Qixi by his waist and carried him to the horse.

"Leave before I go back on my word."

Did this mean her identity as a Miss Er was over?

Yun Qixi still wanted to work harder, but Yun Chong had already extended his hand out and slapped his horse hard, causing the horse to start running.

The situation suddenly changed, Yun Qixi's body suddenly leaned back, and grabbed onto the rigid rope tightly, stabilizing her body and controlling her body to stop the horses that were running a few steps away.

"General Yun, I have something to tell you." She was going to explain.

The three words General Yun were like a knife slicing through his heart.

Yun Chong did not turn back, and only sighed, "Go."

Suddenly, a faint flute sound rang out in the silent night sky. At first, it was very far away, but gradually, the flute sound became clearer and clearer. It was like a rope coming from all directions.

This flute music did not sound like a melodious tune, but more like a kind of incantation, causing people to feel a little anxious. Even the horse below them had suddenly gone crazy, snorting and snorting as it dug holes into the ground.

Yun Qixi pulled on the rigid rope, sensing that the horse was about to lose control. Just as she was about to get off the horse, the flute music suddenly became loud, like a high pitched horn suddenly sticking to her ear, it was especially sharp and ear-piercing.

The horse could no longer stay calm and started running again. Fortunately, Yun Qixi's reaction was fast, and he had grabbed onto the horse's abdomen in time to prevent it from being flung off.

The horse went into the woods. It was dark and gloomy.

Wherever he went, the branches would spank him and he would feel a burning pain.

"Hey, as a general, you've been to countless wars, and you're used to seeing the light and the shadows of swords. You've seen the world, how can you not be calm?" Yun Qixi pulled on the rigid rope tightly as she worked on the thoughts of the horse very quickly.

However, her words didn't have the slightest effect. Instead, it was the sound of the flute that was as dense as raindrops that caused the horse's hooves to move even faster.

"Qixi, tighten the rope, clamp the belly of the horse." Yun Chong's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Alright." Yun Qixi replied and immediately pulled on the rigid rope, tightening her legs.

Fortunately, she was not a weak young miss, so she still had a bit of strength. However, the bumpiness was too much. She had to use a lot of strength to avoid falling off the horse.

Just then, the horse galloped past a big tree. Yun Qixi suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain in her calf. It was as if she had been stabbed by a not very thin branch.

Pain! It was a rhythm that was about to be crippled!

Due to the pain in her legs, the strength in her limbs had weakened significantly. Under the bumpy ride, she was tossed high into the air. If this carried on, she would be left behind sooner or later.

Yun Qixi raised her head with much difficulty and looked forward. Not far away, there was a tree branch in the air. Thus, she quickly made a decision in her heart.

The horse was so fast that the tree trunk that was very far away appeared in front of him in a flash. Yun Qixi lifted her body, reached out and hugged the tree trunk, then got off the horse's back. The horse galloped away.

However, she was not safe. Even though she held onto the tree trunk, she was eventually thrown down by the momentum.

She thought her body was going to fall apart, but she didn't fall onto the ground. Instead, she fell into a wide embrace.

When they hit the ground, they were on a slope. As soon as they hit the ground, they would uncontrollably roll down the slope.

The pair of arms protected her very tightly, so although they had rolled far away, Yun Qixi was not hurt at all.

Only when Yun Chong's back bumped into a tree trunk and he gave a muffled grunt did they finally finish their journey.

It was at this moment that the strange flute melody suddenly disappeared, and the entire forest returned to silence.

At the moment, the two were very close to each other. Yun Qixi could smell the thick smell of alcohol on him and could clearly hear her heartbeat and her irregular breathing.

She didn't know how many times she had moved, but at the moment, Yun Qixi only felt that her eyes were shooting stars, and she didn't want to move an inch. Yun Chong did not move, and only held her tightly in the crook of her arm.

Even when he was drunk, he was still able to chase the horse so far and was even able to catch her so accurately.

After a while, Yun Chong slowly let go of her and sat up.

"Are you okay?" Yun Chong asked calmly, as if the one who was chasing after him at the start was not him.

Because his legs were in so much pain, Yun Qixi frowned and closed her eyes, not opening them.

"How are you?" Yun Chong clenched her arm tightly, his voice was obviously nervous.

Yun Qixi opened her eyes and removed the pain from her body as she looked at Yue Yang calmly.

"General Yun, thank you. I'm fine."

Yun Chong's expression changed, he did not open his eyes, and leaned his head against the tree trunk, not saying another word.

Yun Qixi sat up while enduring the pain, she looked at him silently.

"General Yun, I am indeed not Miss Er, but I am indeed called Yun Qixi, and this might be the fate between me and Miss Er."

Yun Chong looked at her, he had already calmed down and was waiting for her to continue.

"I did not intentionally deceive you all, but I was entrusted by the Miss Er before her death."

"The last resort?" Yun Chong's eyes flickered, obvious emotions fluctuating.

Following that, Yun Qixi recounted what had happened, and even the fact that she was a tomb robber had to be explained, if not, she would have appeared in the tomb in the middle of the night, coincidentally encountering Miss Er with her last breath. The only thing she hid was the incident where she met Shan Liancheng in the grave.

This way, it explained why she had the silk handkerchief embroidered by the Miss Er in her hands, and why she initially wanted to ruin the crown prince's wedding but refused to marry him later on. The reason why she destroyed the marriage was to avenge the Miss Er. The reason she didn't marry was because she wasn't the Miss Er who loved the crown prince from the start.

"This is the truth. Regarding Miss Er's last wish that I could replace her as the Crown Princess, I am truly unable to accomplish it. As for how the Miss Er suddenly died, the suspicious points were most likely made clear by the intelligence of the General Yun. Since my identity has been exposed by the General Yun, I can only apologize to the dead Miss Er and can't live for her anymore. "

Yun Chong's gaze was fixed at a certain place in the night, not moving an inch, as though he was pondering and digesting everything that she had said.

Yun Qixi continued, "I was a person who had no one to rely on, and I also felt bad for Miss Er's persistence, which was why I agreed to such an absurd thing. In the days when I was replacing the Miss Er, I discovered many disheartening things, which made me, as a bystander, feel very sad. However, there was also a warm side to things, such as you, such as the Duke and the Qiao Er, all treat the Miss Er well. Sometimes, I even think of myself as her in her love and hate. It hurt, it hated her. From now on, this has nothing to do with me. "

Although it had not even been a month, her identity had already been exposed, which meant that Yun Qixi was going to face huge economic losses. However, she suddenly felt a lot more at ease. This was because she was finally able to live a life where she was free and unfettered.

After explaining everything, Yun Qixi was about to leave. However, the moment she tried to stand up, her legs were in extreme pain. She gasped for breath and almost lost her balance.

Yun Chong immediately reached out to support her, "What happened to you?"

"My legs hurt." Yun Qixi clenched her teeth and said.

Yun Chong helped her sit down and pulled up her pants to take a look. He discovered that there was a lot of blood on her calves.

"You're hurt."

Yun Qixi's face paled from the pain, but she laughed: "There's no big problem, just take care of it."

As she spoke, her eyes scanned the surroundings, and then her eyes suddenly lit up. "Brother," she blurted out happily. She had been used to this form of address lately. Realizing what she was doing, she corrected herself in a low voice.

"General Yun, that's the Immortal Crane Grass. I'll have to trouble you to find me some more." She pointed at a blade of grass not far away.

Hearing her change her words, Yun Chong's face looked a little unnatural. After picking the Immortal Crane Grass, he compared it to finding some nearby.

Yun Qixi crushed the Immortal Crane Grass Yun Chong had brought out into pieces in his palm and smeared it on the wound on his leg. This was a direct collision with a tree branch. The wound was very deep.

"You know medicine?" Yun Chong was surprised.

Yun Qixi's hands did not stop moving, she raised her head and smiled brightly, "Not only can you do it, your medical skills are also not bad."

After painting, Yun Qixi tore a corner of her clothes and wrapped it around her calves.

"Alright."

Looking up and seeing Yun Chong's gloomy face, he smiled and said, "It's alright, this little injury is nothing to me.

After thinking about it, Yun Qixi said again, "General Yun, you should head back earlier. If you don't go back later, my family will be worried. Don't worry about me, I'm completely used to this late at night mountain environment."

"Don't call me General Yun." Yun Chong suddenly said.
