"Mother, last year I went to a very beautiful place. There was a beautiful waterfall there, and under the waterfall is a very beautiful river. I brought a few days, I picked up a blue jade stone, crystal clear, if made into a jade pendant should be very beautiful. I was going to bring it to Mother, but then I lost it on the way back. But it doesn't matter. I'll bring you something even more beautiful the next time I go out for fun. " Liu Chuan said to himself, speaking to the tombstone, "Actually, Mother, could it be that you also want to see me? Just like when I was young, I really wanted to see Mother. Mother, if you were still here, I would like to take you around to see all kinds of scenery. "

Light footsteps came from the rain.

A silver-gray robe dragged across the ground as the fine cloud pattern embroidery was covered by the muslin. The sleeves on the silver side of the robe fell down and lightly fell to the ground. Raindrops fell from the plain oil-paper umbrella. The man holding the umbrella stood silently behind Liuchuan. His long hair and handsome face were filled with sorrow, obscuring his expression.

"I once wanted to save her, but there was nothing I could do." Xie Zimo sighed, "But I still can't save her. I've always blamed myself, if I were stronger, would the people I care about, the people around me, not be harmed? Will I be able to protect them? "

The cold, damp air that filled his body made him feel sad.

The green-robed youth smiled indifferently. He turned around and said to the person behind him, "Since everyone is dead, what's the use of repenting now?"

"I did not repent. I only regretted not becoming stronger earlier." A bunch of roses lay lightly next to the wild flowers.

Xie Zimo remembered that when Zi Shuang was alive, she loved Rose the most, so every year, he would pick a bunch and bring them here to pay his respects to her.

Liu Chuan looked at Zi Shuang's tombstone and sneered, "Becoming strong is actually meaningless. When you become strong, you will discover that the people you care about are all gone. You will become another Lu Shaoheng, living in deep loneliness and being hated by those who hate you. "

"So what? At the very least, I took back everything that was mine." Xie Zimo sighed as he looked at the drizzle. The two of them didn't say anything and just stood in the rain for a long time before leaving.

Within the imperial palace.

After returning to the palace, Baili Kuangxue first made a trip to Mu Jingshu's chambers. Mu Jingshu's stomach was a bit bigger than before, but she still looked a bit depressed. She quietly sat by the window, staring out at the drizzling rain. There were unfinished embroidery on the dressing table. It was very dark.

The fragrant snow sighed and slowly walked over.

The Mu Jingshu in her memories was an innocent and naive girl. She liked to laugh, was pure, and didn't have any sadness. She also liked her asking silly questions. Her parents died when she was born, and she came to her side as the desiccated little sister of Kui Xue. They grew up together, like sisters.

Four years later, the smile on Mu Jingshu's face disappeared. She loved people she should not have loved, and her face had an expression of hidden bitterness.

"Jingshu, what are you thinking about?" The red dress that dragged across the ground stopped at the window, and Baili Kui Xue stood in front of Mu Jingshu. Her voice was gentle and loving.

"I wonder what it feels like to love someone. I was thinking, do I love Lu Shaoheng? Or, I just rely on him, just can't let go of the heart, just don't want to see him lonely. I want to see him smile. However, he is always, so unreal, that if one is not careful, one would feel that one would be unable to catch him, and if one is not careful, one would be able to lose him. " Mu Jingshu lowered her eyes, her expression dark.

"The first time I met Xiao Kong, I found him very interesting. He likes to make me happy, making me feel that everything with him is simple, but I don't know if I like him or if I just like the feeling of being happy. "

"Do you regret having his child?" Kui Xue asked.

Mu Jingshu shook her head. "How can there be so many things in this world that you can regret?"

Kui Xue sighed, gently caressing Mu Jingshu's shoulder as she slowly said, "I plan to return to the He Yu Clan to pay my respects to mother and father."

"Kui Xue, if I do something wrong one day, will you forgive me?" Mu Jingshu raised her head and looked at the hundred li of fragrant snow.

"In my heart, you are already like my little sister. No matter what you do wrong, I won't blame you. You are my last family member in this world. " Mo Juyi smiled lightly as she hugged Mu Jingshu.

The next day, Baili Kuangxue went to look for him in Lu Shaoheng's chamber.

On the third day, Lu Shaoheng was busy dealing with some matters. The light from the candle flickered on his face. Lin Xuan was still standing near him, and Lu Shaoheng looked at Lin Xuan when he saw the sweet snow coming in. Lin Xuan tactfully left his room and closed the door, standing guard outside.

"Your majesty, I want to return to my hometown and pay my respects to my family." Kui Xue opened her mouth and stood quietly in front of Lu Shao Heng. He was holding the written imperial edict.

"Alright, I'll order someone to pack up. I'll accompany you tomorrow." Lu Shaoheng raised his head, agreed, and continued writing.

"I want to go back alone."

Lu Shaoheng paused for a moment, put down the brush in his hand, and pondered over the words of Baili Kuangxue.

"It's not safe for you to be alone, but it's for us …"

"I promise your majesty, I will return." "Your majesty is not afraid that I'm not safe, but that I won't return."

"I'm worried about you alone." Lu Shaoheng frowned, "Don't use your thoughts to judge me."

"Wasn't I always alone before I met the emperor?" What's there to be worried about, your majesty? "Moreover, I am not a bird in a birdcage. If the Emperor really cares about me, then he shouldn't keep me in a cage." Baili Xueyi's lips curled up into a smile, but her tone was extremely cold.

Lu Shaoheng fell into silence. These words made him have no room to refute them.

What he was worried about was indeed the fact that the 100 plumes of fragrant snow would never return. He was afraid that if he let go of her, she would leave him and fly away like a butterfly, disappearing from his field of vision.

Only this time, Lu Shaoheng agreed.

He gave her a time limit of ten days. If she didn't return within ten days, he would kill the child in Mu Jingshu's stomach. He knew that she cared a little about Mu Jingshu, so he used it to threaten her.

Baili Xiang Xue smiled indifferently.

Lu Shaoheng was like this, he liked to use such extreme methods to threaten others.

"Alright, I will definitely come back." Baili Xiang Xue laughed, then turned and left.

The day when the sweet snow came out of the palace, the sky was gray. Yu Xuan was cleaning her zither in the teaching workshop. Xiao Kong sneaked over and drank a cup of tea with the three of them. Xiao Kong said that she sometimes felt that Baili Kuangxue was very happy, even though she had lost a lot. But at least she had had it. She had experienced what it was like to be happy. Unlike him, he had been an orphan since young. He did not know who his parents were, whether they were dead or alive, not understanding how it felt to be loved by others.

If it wasn't for Mu Jingshu's appearance, Xiao Kong's entire life might have been for Lu Zixu. But after Lu Zixu completed what he wanted to accomplish, where should she go? What kind of person would he become? After meeting Mu Jingshu, Little Kong had thought that it would be great if he could have a family, and a person waiting for him to return home.

Kui Xue took a sip of her tea and smiled faintly.

So what if they did? Those beautiful memories would cause him to suffocate in pain every night when he was alone. Sometimes, the greatest happiness of a person can be ordinary to old, can not think of anything, can simply live.

"Xue'er, don't go for too long. I'll miss you." Xiao Kong said as he sent off the fragrant snow from a hundred li away.

"I won't be gone for long. I just want to go pay my respects to my parents. It's been a long time since I've gone back to visit them." After that, the horse rode away from the Imperial Palace, disappearing under the setting sun.

When Kui Xue returned to the He Yu clan, this place had already lost its beauty.

More than half of the Great Prairie had disappeared. The people of Liu City had built cities and treated the people here as slaves.

On the main street, people trod on the wet ground and busied themselves with their livelihood. Soldiers from the State of Liu roamed the streets of the Heyu, shouting and whipping the slaves. As she walked along the street, she would occasionally hear the sound of iron chains clanging against the ground. "As slaves, the Heyu clansmen plodded along the wet roads, the soldiers holding long whips and whipping the slow-moving people.

Wailing sounds echoed in the drizzle.

"What are you dawdling for? If you don't leave soon, I will beat you to death!" The soldier brandished his whip, his face filled with malice.

The man with the tattered clothes could not bear the whip and fell to the ground. The surrounding soldiers continued to fiercely whip him …

"He actually dares to fall down? I'll definitely beat you to death today! I told you to play dead! If you don't get up, I'll whip you to death! Get up! "Get up …" Every sentence of the soldiers was a whip, extremely vicious.

The man with the cut skin propped himself up and crawled with difficulty. His exhausted face was filled with vicissitudes of life, and his entire body was covered with injuries.

The veil fluttered in the breeze, and Kui Xue could not stand it any longer. She was about to step forward to stop the soldiers, but a white dress blocked her view.

Ning'er suddenly appeared in front of her, grabbing her wrist. "Beautiful Snow, don't cause any trouble. You don't have any martial arts right now, so you can't beat them."

Ning'er's warning didn't stop Fuxue. She shook off Ning'er's hand and rushed over in big strides. She ruthlessly punched the soldier's jaw. Another soldier wanted to help but was knocked down by Ning'er's silver bead.

Ning let out a sigh, then rushed over and grabbed Baili Kui Xue, bringing her away from the chaotic crowd.

The two of them stopped in a forest.

Ning'er straightened her clothes, which had been soaked by the drizzling rain.

"When can you change your willful personality?" Ning pursed his lips, looking at the still angry Baili Xiang Xue …

"You are not me, so how can you understand my feelings? Those are my people, and I, watching my own people being humiliated, am powerless to do anything. " Baili Xiang Xue fiercely threw a punch towards the large tree.

Ning'er fell into silence, standing silently behind the 100 miles of fragrant snow.

She understood Kui Xue's position and her inner conflicts. As a princess of the He Yu clan, she couldn't do anything when her clan was in trouble. That kind of feeling must be really hard to bear …
