The rustling of the grass in the forest attracted the attention of someone, who was eyeing the land covetously. Suddenly, an arrow left the bow and flew through the forest in the direction of the disturbance.

Liu Changxi sat down on the ground, caught off guard. She watched in horror as her sleeve was ripped open and her body, which had lost its center of gravity, fell into the mud. When she came back to her senses, a scarlet red liquid was seeping out of her sleeves. She stared in amazement at the horse that was slowly approaching her. The man on the saddle was looking down at her arrogantly.

She couldn't see the man's face because he was wearing a mask that revealed only his pupils. The man's black robe trembled and his entire body emitted an ice-cold and terrifying aura. He looked down from above and stared at the woman who should not have appeared in the forest deep in the mountains.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? Who sent you? "

"Who am I? What does it have to do with you?" Liu Yunxi angrily retorted.

This was the first time in Lu Hongqiao's life that he had been refuted. There was actually someone who dared to talk back to him? This wild lass who did not know her place seemed to be much more interesting than the people in the palace.

Lu Hongqiao sneered. He jumped down from his horse and walked in front of Liu Gexi. He used his hand to support her chin and sighed a few times.

"You said such a good-looking face, if there were a few more traces on it …" Lu Hongqiao's flirtatious face pierced Liu's eyes like poison.

"Lu Hongqiao, you can't bully a weak woman." Lu Zixu, who had come in pursuit, stood behind Lu Hongqiao.

Lu Hong, who had just become a little interested, lifted his lips and straightened his back as he looked in the direction of Lu Zixu.

"My name is Liu Yunxi, and I live in the mountains. Who are you people?" Liu Yunxi held onto the place where her arm was injured, unable to adapt to the two men in front of her.

"Lu Zixu, I heard that there is no poison that you can't cure in this world. I have recently developed a new poison, do you have the confidence to remove the poison? " Lu Hongqiao didn't wait for Lu Zixu to react. A light flashed in his eyes, and he threw out his hand. Something unknown pierced into Liu Gexi's chest.

Liu Yunxi's entire body trembled and she lost consciousness as she fell down.

Lu Zixu hurried forward to catch her, "Lu Hongqiao, you!"

Lu Hongqiao sneered, pulled the reins, and turned to leave, leaving behind Lu Zixu and Liu Yunxi. Lu Zixu looked at the willful Lu Hongqiao who shook his head. He then picked up Liu Yunxi and brought her back to the palace for treatment.

In the future, every night, the poison within Liu Yunxi's body would take effect. Although Lu Zixu could temporarily suppress the poison within her body, he couldn't completely cure it. At this time, Lu Hongqiao was also very pleased with himself. He wished that the girl in the mountain would ask him to cure her, but the stubborn Liu Zixi kept rejecting him again and again. The more Liu denies him, the more Lu Hongqiao finds it interesting. As for Lu Zixu and Liu Gexi, they walked too close to each other and had a long relationship. This aroused Lu Hongqiao's strong jealousy. This sort of mood accumulated over time, until finally, at the moment when the late emperor was about to pass away, he broke through the dike.

The heir to the throne, Lu Zixu, had gone missing without a trace, and Lu Hongqiao had sat on the throne as a matter of course, and forcefully married Liu Yunxi to become the Empress.

In the big red chamber, Liu Gongxi, who wore a red veil over her head, was sobbing. When Lu Hongqiao came in, she viciously threw herself at him, wanting to stab him with a hairpin. "Lu Hongqiao, you're so heartless. Lu Zixu is your elder brother, how can you do such a thing!"

Lu Hongqiao effortlessly grabbed Liu's wrist and pulled her into his arms, glaring at her.

The silver hairpin landed on the bed, and Liu Changxi was ruthlessly thrown onto the bed. She glared at Lu Hongqiao with grief and indignation. Lu Hongqiao was dressed in red makeup, looking devilish, elegant and cruel.

"No matter how vicious I am, it is all for the sake of the people of the world." But in Lu Zixu's heart, you are the only one. I am just, thinking for the people of the world. " Lu Hongqiao ruthlessly grabbed onto Liu Gexi's lower jaw. His charming eyes narrowed as he pushed her away with his sleeves and left, "There are only two paths that you can take right now. Either please me, or Lu Zixu will be martyred!"

The strong sound of the door closing resounded, and the candlestick within the chamber swayed.

Lu Zixu, for the sake of our children, I must survive …

"In the past, I was in the top six, but whether Lu Zixu lived or died was unknown. As a woman, I do not know what to do. And as a mother, I can only live with humiliation. " "Four years ago, there was a reason why Lu Hongqiao attacked the Heyu tribe, but as a woman who wasn't favored by the palace, I had to ignore it. Later, when Lu Hongqiao died, I thought everything would calm down. But I never thought that the Heyu Princess would appear. "

"According to what you said, Lu Shaoheng is not Lu Hongqiao's flesh and blood? Was it born from you and Lu Zixu? What about Liuchuan? " Yu Qingqing looked doubtfully at the dejected Liu Gexi.

She shook her head. "Liuchuan is the child of the Princess of Anduo, Zi Shuang and Lu Hongqiao. Back then, I was worried that Liuchuan's existence would threaten Lu Shaheng, so I bribed the midwife and had her killed. It's just that I didn't think that there would still be spies from the Anduo Kingdom in the palace. The midwife switched children and sent Liuchuan out of the palace. That's what happened after that. "

"Then, why would you agree to come here but why would our hostage be willing to save a former Crown Prince who might be a threat to Lu Shaoheng?" Qing Qing continued to ask.

"Because I don't want Shao Heng to make mistakes again and again. Besides, Xie Zimo isn't wrong, I have seen through a lot of things over the years. "There are many things in this world. What belongs to you will eventually be yours, and what doesn't belong to you. No matter how hard you try to fight for them, they will never be yours." Liu Yunxi sighed and continued, "Baili Kuangxue is Lu Zixu's disciple. Although Lu Zixu used her, the human heart is still made of flesh. Lu Zixu doesn't want to owe her for his entire life. Thus, he wanted to help her save Xie Zimo. And I, too, want to persuade Wu Heng to turn the situation around. "

"Does that Lu Shaoheng know his background?"

"He doesn't know that Lu Hongqiao is always on guard against me. Although I am the empress, my name is not real. I am a woman who can't even protect herself, so I can't let anyone know that Shao Heng isn't Lu Hongqiao's flesh and blood, and that even Lu Zixu doesn't know. If it wasn't for Lu Zixu wanting to kill Lu Shaoheng, I wouldn't even have planned to tell him about this. " Liu Yunxi gently shook her head. Her silver hairpin that was tied up in a bun lightly swayed. She gently rubbed her temples with a frown, "Now that I've kept this a secret for over 20 years, it's time to end this matter."

A gust of cold wind blew in through the open door.

Bai Luo and Lu Zixu, whose bodies were covered in snow, stood outside the door. Their robes were fluttering in the wind. Almost simultaneously, they walked into the house. The frost that covered their bodies quietly disappeared as the temperature of the room melted.

"Zixu, you're finally back." Liu Yunxi's tightly knitted eyebrows finally relaxed as she hurriedly walked in the direction of Lu Zixu.

As soon as Lu Zixu saw Liu, he rushed forward and pulled her into his arms. No matter how many years passed, his feelings for her were the same as before. Or perhaps, they had only cherished each and every reunion after being separated for so long.

Bai Luo walked over and stood beside Yu Qingqing. They sighed in their hearts as they looked at Lu Zixu and Liu Gexi. Actually, it wasn't easy for the two of them to get together.

"When I went to the dungeon to steal the prison, I found out that Xie Zimo wasn't in the prison, so I was almost ambushed. She brought me out of the palace, and the people in the palace sent people to capture me everywhere, so I temporarily hid out for a few days. " As Lu Zixu spoke, he pulled out a map from his chest pocket. He skillfully spread out the map on the tea table. He moved his finger to a bamboo forest. There were a lot of waterways surrounding the bamboo forest, and those waterways connected to Lu Shaoheng's palace.

"I found some relatively hidden routes outside. We can enter the palace from these routes. The sweet snow is in the palace. She knows where Xie Zimo is, so I promised her to bring him out. We still need to enter the palace once more." As Lu Zixu spoke, Bai Luo nodded, as if he understood something. He whistled and a white pigeon flew out of the snow and landed on the windowsill. Belo tied a small slip of paper to the pigeon's foot and let it fly away...

Seeing the white pigeon fly down, the man who was sitting at the sentry post hurriedly took off the slip of paper tied to the pigeon's leg and ran into the mountain stronghold.

After receiving the message, Han palace led the others to discuss it. Yu Wen and Yu Xuan were also in the tent, discussing how to save Xie Zimo. Bai Luo decided to unite with You Wu and the people of the He Yu Clan to attack from outside the palace.

Zhong Xi, who was holding the tiger head kid, was sitting on the side playing. He didn't understand what the adults were talking about, so he was just playing by himself. After he finished the candied fruits given by Xiao Yun, he felt a little bored, so he climbed down from the chair and sneaked out while no one was looking at him. He ran out of the tent and hung around.

"This is the route from Lu Shaoheng's sleeping palace to the underground dungeon. There will be many patrolling guards around, but there's a path here that can directly bypass those guards …"

"The rest of you enter from the back door of the imperial garden. There is a passage there …" "You guys disguise as the people in the palace, and then we come out from another place, and cross over …"

Yu Wen and Yu Xuan drew out a map on the map as they worked out a plan with the Han palace. Xiao Kong and Mu Jingshu, who had already contacted them, were also here. They were mainly responsible for leading the He Yu tribe to reunite with them outside the palace.

After saying that, Yu Xuan looked at the chair beside her. Just now, he had heard the sound of someone playing with a floral drum. In the blink of an eye, everyone had disappeared.

"I'm going out for a bit." Yu Xuan patted Yu Wen's shoulder and said. She turned around and walked out of the tent, looking for Yu Wen.

An hour later, Yu Xuan ran back into the tent, looking around for Yue Xi.

"Yu Xuan, what are you looking for?" Yu Wen looked at Yu Xuan, confused.

Yu Xuan frowned and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time!"

The palace.

Lu Shaoheng had just gotten close to the palace when he smelled the strong smell of medicine. Frowning, he hurried forward and pushed open the door to the chamber. The strong smell of medicine assaulted their nostrils, giving them a bad premonition. Lu Shaoheng stepped into the bedroom and touched the medicine bottle that was of different sizes on the floor.

Lu Shaoheng stopped. He looked at the sweet snow sitting on the table. Her long hair was let down, and her face was slightly red. She seemed to have drank some wine. She smiled flirtatiously at Lu Shaoheng, pouring out the bottle of medicine in her hands. The pill rolled into her palm and she swallowed it as she opened her mouth. She continued pouring the pill into the bottle and gulped it down without a care.

Lu Shao Heng was startled. Frowning, he quickly stepped forward and snatched the bottle from her hands. The bottle containing the pills fell to the ground with a dull thud.

Baili Yin Xue, however, gave a silly smile as she looked at Lu Shaoheng.

"You ate all the medicine?" Lu Shaoheng frowned, staring at the 100 miles of fragrant snow, these were all poison.

"Rather than being tortured to death by you, why not end it yourself? No one can stop what I want to do, and now that I want to die, no one can stop me. " Kui Xue laughed coldly, not caring about her life at all.

"Don't you know these are all poison!" Lu Shaoheng grabbed Baili Kui Xue's chin, not knowing if it was due to nervousness or anger, "Hurry up and puke it out!"

"I've already eaten it, how can I spit it out?" Kui Xue giggled and asked. She looked at Lu Shaoheng's nervous face and thought it was ridiculous, "Didn't you say that hate is also a type of emotion? If you say hatred is more unforgettable than love, then why do you have such a disappointed expression on your face now? Lu Shaoheng, I won't be imprisoned by you like this, never. "

A sharp pain pierced her chest, and blood gushed out of her throat. "Cough cough." Baili Xiang Xue was caught off guard and coughed out a mouthful of blood, spraying it on Lu Shaheng's body.

"Lu Shaoheng, actually, you're the one who's truly pitiful." Blood blossomed like flowers on Baili Kui Xue's body, but she was still smiling mockingly, looking at Lu Shaoheng. Then, she slowly closed her eyes and fainted.
