Gu Wang couldn't help but retreat.
Qiu Chi exclaimed and hurriedly reached out to help her, so that Gu Wangshu could stand still and not fall down.
After such a collision, Gu Wangshu finally stopped being immersed in her own world. She raised her head and met a pair of eyes as calm as dead water.
His eyes were beautiful, but they had lost their former sparkle because of their lifelessness.
Her hair was a little messy, her face was not very good, and she was pale and gray. Her whole person was extremely decadent. She was completely different from when Gu Wangshu first saw her.
Gu Wangshu was stunned for a moment, and then he said first: "Master Hou."
The person who was hit by Gu Wangshu was Chen Zui.
He nodded to Gu Wangshu and said nothing, cold and indifferent.
Gu Wangshu watched him walk into a store.
The storefront looked familiar. Gu Wangshu looked up at the plaque and saw four big characters written on it: Zhao's Cloth Shop.
It turned out to be Zhao Chengcheng's cloth, no wonder it looked familiar.
When Gu Wangshu saw Chen Zui walking straight in, she hesitated and followed closely.
When Zhao Bingcheng saw the two of them, he greeted them enthusiastically, but when he saw that their expressions were genuine, the smile on their faces faded a bit.
The fact that Zhao Chengcheng does business like this is enough to show that his intelligence is not comparable to ordinary people.
He heard about Yun Musheng's incident, and felt regretful and a little remorseful at the same time.
When he first saw Fu Shoucheng, he felt that he didn't look like a Helian countryman. He even carefully questioned him, but he was excused by him.
He had a great reputation throughout his life, but the biggest oversight he ever made was in the matter of Fu Shoucheng.
If he had been more careful at that time, he would have discovered how lame Fu Shoucheng's excuse was, but he didn't, which would have ended Miss Yun's tragedy a long time ago.
Although Chen Zui's face was expressionless, Zhao Bingcheng could feel the pain in his heart that was so intense that he couldn't breathe.
He was wise enough not to disturb Chen Zui and Gu Wangshu, and stood quietly aside. If they were in need, they would naturally come to him.
Gu Wangshu didn't even know what the purpose was, but she kept following Chen Zui.
The interior area of Zhao's Cloth Shop is very large, with a visual estimate of [-] square meters. There are all kinds of cloths on display. It is the most complete style in the entire Yong'an City and even the entire Helian. They are all here.
Chen Zui's eyes scanned the cloth one by one, but there was nothing he was looking for.
After walking around Zhao's Cloth Shop, Chen Zui returned to the counter and asked Zhao Bingcheng: "Shopkeeper, do you have this kind of fabric?"
He said, taking out a black handkerchief from his arms.
The color of this handkerchief is very special. Although it is black, it slowly glows in the sunlight, glowing like lightning flowing on the cloth, which is novel and beautiful.
The handkerchief was made of building materials and had a square shape, and the sewing stitches were very dense. In the center of the handkerchief was a lantern embroidered with gold thread. Gu Wangshu recognized this lantern at a glance. It was the one that Chen Zui answered correctly at the lantern festival. After winning the pair, he won the octagonal lantern specially for Yun Musheng.
Yun Musheng's name was embroidered on the corner of the handkerchief.
Seeing the handkerchief, Gu Wangshu's heart suddenly tightened. This handkerchief was specially made by her cousin for Chen Zui.
She saw Chen stroking the handkerchief most gently: "If there are still this kind of fabric in the store, I would like it all."
Mu Sheng liked him wearing black clothes the most, and he specially found such special fabrics for her to sew them himself. He didn't want to see other people wearing the same clothes as him, so he came to Zhao's Cloth Shop, I plan to buy all of this fabric.
His words made Zhao Chengcheng instantly think of the day when Yun Musheng came to the palace and fell in love with the shiny black cloth at a glance.
At that time, her eyes flashed with surprise and her face was full of happiness.
I believe that at that time, she must have imagined in her mind how high-spirited Mr. Chen would be after putting on the clothes she personally cut, right?
It's a pity that after she finished the clothes, she could no longer see the man she loved wearing the clothes she had sewn with her own hands.
What a good girl, how could she be gone?
Zhao Bingcheng came back from his memories and said: "Master Hou, all this fabric has been bought by Miss Yun, and it is no longer available in the store."
Chen Zui's expression did not change at all, and he asked calmly: "Will it happen in the future?"
Zhao Bingcheng shook his head: "There won't be any more in the future, but if the Marquis wants, I can dye another one just for the Marquis."
On the day Yun Musheng came to the cloth store, it happened that the shiny black cloth was on the market on the first day, and Yun Musheng bought it directly before anyone could see it.
Because he knew that Yun Musheng bought it to make clothes for Chen Zui, and the two were going to get married soon, Zhao Bingcheng didn't rush to dye the cloth again in order to prevent Chen Zui from matching clothes, but he didn't expect that Yun Musheng would soon dye the cloth. He was later bombed to death outside Yongan City.
Because he failed to discover Fu Shoucheng's anomaly at the first time, he felt that he was partly responsible for Yun Musheng's death, so he decided not to dye the black cloth again.
He hoped to make amends in this way. Yun Musheng loved Chen the most, so he let the person she loved wear unique clothes in the world.
Thinking of this, Zhao Chengcheng's heart became heavier and heavier.
Chen Zui put the handkerchief back into his arms and held it close to his chest.
He nodded to Zhao Bingcheng: "Thank you."
Zhao Bingcheng also bowed to him politely.
Chen Zui turned around and walked out of Zhao's cloth store, with Gu Wangshu still following him.
Chen Zui did not ride in a carriage, let alone a horse.
He seemed to have lost his soul, wandering aimlessly on Taiping Street.
The first time he met Yun Musheng was at the Zhao's Powder Festival, and the first time he went shopping with Yun Musheng was at the lantern festival on the night of the Qiqiao Festival.
He had too many firsts with Yun Musheng, but those things seemed to have only happened once and never appeared in his life again.
He had very few memories with her, even in the more than two years they spent in Nalan Country, they spent very little time together.
He plotted against her, used her, and asked her to take the initiative to seduce Nalan Yin. He himself spent most of the time by Nalan Yin's side, advising him.
Until now, he didn't even know what Yun Musheng liked to eat, what colors he liked, or what he liked about him.
Too many regrets and too few memories.
All she could leave for him was the octagonal glass lamp and a set of clothes.
Chen Zui's heart felt cold, but his face was a little damp and hot.
The people on the street looked at him one after another, some confused, some surprised, and some puzzled.
Gu Wangshu quickened his pace and walked side by side with Chen Zui. Only then did he realize that his eyes were red and tears were streaming down his face.
Gu Wangshu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to comfort him.
At this time, any comfort seemed unnecessary, so she closed her mouth and didn't say a word.
She couldn't even comfort herself, how could she comfort others.
Chen was the least concerned about Gu Wangshu's following.
The two of them walked and walked until they reached the door of General Gu's mansion.
Qiu Chi, who was following the two of them, couldn't help but remind them: "Miss, we're home."
Gu Wangshu paused and glanced at the door of the mansion.
The vermilion door of the general uniform was closed, and only the corner door next to it was open, as if waiting for her return.
"Miss, let's go back, it's almost lunch time."
Gu Wangshu looked back at Chen Zui and found that he had walked away without stopping.
"Qiuchi, I'm not hungry yet."
After saying that, she followed Chen Zui straight away.
She didn't know what she was going to do. It seemed that the closer she was to the person Yun Musheng loved, the closer she could be to her cousin.
The two walked side by side again.
There are fewer and fewer ordinary people on the road leading to the Hou Mansion.
Before waiting for the Hou Mansion, Chen Zui suddenly stood still and looked towards a place.
Gu Wangshu followed his gaze and found that it was just a narrow alley.
Before she could ask: What are you looking at?
Chen Zui actually said: "I have been here with Mu Sheng before."
"That day I went to the General's Mansion to put it up. By coincidence, I met Mu Sheng in the General's Mansion."
"Later, it started to rain, and Mu Sheng and I left together."
"Our carriage stopped here. Mu Sheng and I held umbrellas and walked into this alley."
"At that time, I had already thought about going to Nalan Kingdom, but Mu Sheng came to beg me to take her with me."
After saying this, Chen Zui suddenly laughed: "Do you think she is stupid? I had been plotting against her at that time. I calculated that after she fell in love with me, she would follow me to Nalan to implement the beauty trap. On that rainy day, I I got what I wanted, but she didn’t know anything about it and she foolishly came to beg me.”
"How can there be such easy-to-deceive and innocent people in the world?"
"I regret it. If I hadn't plotted against her at the beginning, she would be fine now. I was the one who harmed her."
Gu Wangshu listened with mixed emotions.
The most useless thing in the world is regret, because time will not go back.
What happened can never be changed again.
Chen most wanted to walk into the alley, but Gu Wangshu did not follow him.
That narrow and dark alley is a memory that only belongs to Chen Zui and Yun Musheng.
She could only stand outside the alley and watch from a distance.
She saw Chen Zui entering the alley, dressed in black as if to blend in with the darkness.
His body was weakly leaning against the cold wall, looking at a place in a daze.
Passing from Gu Wangshu's position, he felt like he was on the verge of death, struggling to his death, just to get closer to Yun Musheng, even a little bit.
Returning to this place again, everything is different.
There was no rain, no Yun Musheng, and only Chen Zui was left.
No matter how he recalled it, no matter how much he tried to find traces of her, he could never find the same feeling as before.
The cold wind blew into the alley and picked up the hem of his clothes, as if a pair of hands were grabbing him and trying to throw him out of the alley.
Chen smiled lowly, and tears of laughter flowed out again.
He was full of tricks, but none of them could reduce his pain when it came to Yun Musheng's death.
He searched like crazy every day for every bit of his time with Yun Musheng.
When we were together, he didn't feel cherished. Once lost, every trivial thing became a cherished fragment among the few memories.
The coldness of the wall spread through his clothes and onto his back.
No matter how cold his back was, it was not as cold as his heart.
Time passed slowly, and half an hour passed. He stood motionless inside, constantly torturing himself.
Gu Wangshu stood with him the whole time, his eyes indescribably numb.
It wasn't until Chen Zui walked out of the alley that her eyes moved and she continued to follow Chen Zui.
Chen Zui still ignored her.
If she wants to follow, it has nothing to do with him.
The two returned to the Hou Mansion together.
The Hou Mansion is lifeless, there are obviously many servants, but there is no popularity at all.
Seeing Chen Zui coming back, the servants hurriedly paid their respects.
Gu Wangshu originally thought that Chen Zui would go back to his room or study, but he didn't expect him to go straight to the backyard.
The closer you get, the more eerie and terrifying you feel, and the smell of blood is still in the air.
Gu Wangshu guessed something and frowned, but soon relaxed.
I heard that since the death of cousin Mu Sheng, Chen Zui has been torturing Fu Shoucheng. It must be Fu Shoucheng who is locked up in the backyard, right?
Gu Wangshu was mentally prepared, but when Fu Shoucheng appeared in front of her, she couldn't help but scream. Her pale face instantly turned green, and she felt sick.
The original color of the ground could no longer be seen; it had long been dyed red by blood. The red blood dried and turned into dark brown.
There was a person lying there, but in Gu Wangshu's opinion, he could no longer be called a human being.
His hands and feet were severed, his nose and ears were cut off, and his scalp was torn...
The exposed skin had already festered and gave off a rotten smell.
He lay motionless on the ground, like a corpse.
In late autumn, the weather is cold and there are fewer flies, but this unknown backyard is filled with the buzzing sound of flies.
Flies were everywhere, especially on the bodies of people on the ground.
He looks like a piece of rotten meat, attracting flies and insects to feed.
Gu Wangshu only took one look and couldn't stand it anymore. He turned his head and retched.
Looking at Chen Zui again, he was still as calm as ever.
He walked to Fu Shoucheng's side, as if admiring his masterpiece.
Gu Wangshu heard Chen Zui's voice coming from behind.
"You've been doing this for so long, it's so boring."
"I won't torture you. I have nowhere to vent my resentment. What do you think I should do?"
He seemed distressed, but his tone was calm.
Chen Zui took out the handkerchief Yun Musheng had sewn for her from his arms.
"Mu Sheng gave this to me." He put it to his nose and sniffed, as if he could smell Yun Musheng's scent.
"I heard that you like my wife? Do you think you are worthy?"
"When I brought Mu Sheng to Nalan Country, I protected her very well. A fool like Nalan Yin is not even qualified to touch Mu Sheng's hand, but you dare to stun Mu Sheng and take off her If you wear clothes, I will order your hands to be chopped off, it will not be unfair."
"Do you know why Mu Sheng likes me but not you? Because you are too stupid."
"You are hopelessly stupid. You are the defeated general of my Helian Kingdom. What qualifications do you have to like Mu Sheng?"
"Mu Sheng would definitely feel disgusted if he knew that he was liked by someone like you."
Chen Zui spoke softly and sarcastically about Fu Shoucheng. Fu Shoucheng was already weak and could not see the air coming in. However, when he heard Yun Mu Sheng's name, he still made a "ho ho" sound in his mouth.
Gu Wangshu looked back and found that the unrecognizable Fu Shoucheng had moved.
As he moved, the flies on his body suddenly exploded. The scene was like a pig full of flies in a pigsty in summer. It suddenly moved, and the flies began to fly in the dirty pigsty. It's like flying around.
Purulent blood flowed from his torn scalp, accompanied by a large amount of saliva. As he screamed, the saliva almost sprayed onto Chen Sui.
This scene made Gu Wangshu so sick that he retched again.
She didn't want to continue reading. If she continued reading, she would definitely vomit.
Gu Wangshu wanted to leave, but found that his legs were a little weak.
"Autumn Pond."
She called out.
Qiu Chi hurriedly supported her and led Gu Wangshu to the front yard.
After leaving the backyard, the disgusting smell was no longer in the air, and Gu Wangshu's depressed heart finally felt much better.
Qiuchi continued to persuade: "Miss, let's go back?"
Gu Wangshu hesitated and said, "Qiuchi, do you think my cousin's body is really gone?"
Qiu Chi: "This...that's what everyone said."
“That’s what everyone says, but it’s not necessarily true.”
Although Gu Wangshu didn't spend much time with Chen Zui, he still knew a little about Chen Zui.
With Chen Zui's character, even if others say that Yun Musheng's body is gone, he will not believe it easily. He will definitely confirm it himself before giving up.
No matter how powerful firecrackers are, they are not mines or bombs. My cousin will be killed, but it will be difficult to leave her body intact.
These days, she has been immersed in pain, her brain can barely function, and she doesn't think about other aspects.
When she suddenly saw Chen Zui today, she realized that Chen Zui would dig up the ground three feet to collect her cousin's bones.
Perhaps, the cousin's bones are in the Hou Mansion, but Chen is the most unwilling to return them to his aunt and uncle.
Thinking of this, Gu Wangshu stopped delaying and hurriedly walked towards the inner courtyard.
"Miss, where are you going?" Qiu Chi hurriedly caught up and asked.
"I want to go to the Marquis's bedroom and study."
"This...is not good."
Bedrooms and studies are the most private places, and it is very rude to break in without permission.
In the past, the young lady would never do anything impolite, but now her mind is filled with Miss Mu Sheng's affairs, and she no longer cares about etiquette.
Qiu Chi looked around worriedly, for fear of being seen.
Fortunately, no servants were encountered along the way, and they arrived at the residence in the inner courtyard without any hindrance.
The layout of the mansions of high-ranking officials and dignitaries is generally similar, so it is not difficult for Gu Wangshu to find them.
The closer we got to the inner courtyard, the deserted it became. Not a single servant could be seen here.
Gu Wangshu and Qiu Chi found it strange. What they didn't know was that Chen didn't like outsiders intruding into his private territory.
All the servants are in the outer courtyard, and there are no servants to serve in the inner courtyard. Only at fixed times, servants will come to clean.
Gu Wangshu first came to Chen Zui's study.
The door was unlocked and opened with a push.
After Gu Wangshu walked in, he froze in shock.
The entire study was filled with portraits, and only Yun Musheng was painted on them.
She walks, sits and lies, and has various appearances.
Each scene captures the charm of Yun Musheng and is lifelike.
When Gu Wangshu saw these words, his heart began to feel dull again.
If such a scene could be seen by her cousin, how happy she would be.
The person she loves deeply also loves her back. How beautiful is the love between two people.
What a pity, what a pity...
Gu Wangshu closed his eyes hard and suppressed the tears that were rising.
She moved lightly, pacing around the study room, looking at every portrait of Yun Musheng, and finally came to the desk.
There is a large piece of rice paper spread in the center of the desk. The outline of a woman is outlined on the rice paper, but her face is blank. Even though there is no face drawn, you can still tell that it is Yun Musheng from the figure.
The huge desk contained pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and nothing else.
Chen's favorite military book has long since disappeared.
Standing in front of the desk, he looked around the entire study, taking in everything in sight, but there was nothing that Gu Wangshu was looking for.
Gu Wangshu felt a little regretful. She glanced at the scroll for a few times, and finally left the study reluctantly.
Turning around, he led Qiuchi towards the bedroom.
The two of them arrived at the bedroom very smoothly.
What shocked Gu Wangshu was that the place was actually covered with the characters "囍", and the bright red characters for "hi" made Gu Wangshu's eyes hurt.
Chen Zui and Yun Musheng are not married yet, so how can they put the word "happy" on them?
Moreover, Yun Musheng is no longer here, so this happy message should not continue to be posted in the dormitory.
Gu Wangshu felt a little suffocated. She kept getting closer to the door of the dormitory. When she stood in front of the door, sweat overflowed from her nervous palms.
She hesitated again and again, and finally plucked up the courage to push the door open. When the scene in the bedroom came into view, Gu Wangshu's heartbeat accelerated, and she felt that Chen Zui was crazy.
The bedroom is bright red, with a bright red wedding curtain, a bright red wedding bed, a bright red mandarin duck quilt, and bright red wedding candles.
This is not a bedroom, it's more like a bridal chamber when getting married.
Gu Wangshu's feet were as heavy as stones. She hesitated at the door for a long time before she mustered up the courage to step in.
The further she walked in, the more intuitively she felt that Chen Zui's feelings for Yun Musheng were so deep and suffocating.
Everything you need in the bridal chamber is available here.
And from the neatly folded bedding, it can be seen that this room is Chen Zui's room, and he must sleep here every day.
There are things in the room not only for men, but also for women, and many of them are in pairs.
Gu Wangshu's eyes glanced around the bedroom, and finally landed on the innermost side of the bed, near the pillow.
There is a wooden box made of rosewood.
Gu Wangshu's premonition became stronger when he saw the wooden box.
Could this be...
She walked over eagerly, stood by the bed and looked at it carefully. The more she looked at it, the more it looked like an urn, only it was larger and more exquisitely made, more like a woman's dressing box.
Gu Wangshu took a deep breath, made some mental preparations for himself, and then stretched out his trembling hand.
When my fingers touched the rosewood box, it felt cold to the touch.
She hesitated again and again, then gritted her teeth and opened the box.
The dark, burnt-smelling stuff inside all appeared before her eyes.
Gu Wangshu thought that she had seen Meng Ying commit suicide in front of her, and she would face it with strength when she saw Yun Musheng's ashes again.
But when he saw the severed hand that was burnt and blackened, he still couldn't help crying.
My heart felt like I had been stabbed by someone, and pain spread all over my body.
Gu Wangshu's hands pressed hard on the bed to support his shaky body.
Sure enough, she guessed it right, her cousin's bones were still there, and they were brought back to the Hou Mansion by Chen Zui.
Apparently, he got married to his cousin's skeleton without anyone knowing.
This is so crazy, so crazy.
But it’s a hundred times more heartbreaking.
Gu Wangshu hurriedly wiped the tears on his face with his sleeves.
Chen Zui loves his cousin so much, so he certainly doesn’t want anyone to dirty his and his cousin’s wedding room, right?
Gu Wangshu kept taking deep breaths to calm himself down.
But once her eyes fell on the charred bones in the urn, she felt suffocated.
Upon seeing this, Qiu Chi immediately covered the urn and helped Gu Wangshu up.
"Miss, should we tell the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance about this?"
Gu Wangshu didn't know, his mind was in a mess.
My aunt and uncle were heartbroken because of what happened to my cousin. In just a few days, my aunt lost a lot of weight and looked haggard.
Because of this, my uncle did not go to court for many days and could not eat or drink.
This morning when she went to Shangshu Mansion, her aunt cried and said to her:
"Auntie, I'm sorry for your cousin. After she passed away, we couldn't even find a single piece of her bones. It was my fault that I failed to protect Mu Sheng."
Her aunt's condition was very bad, she was depressed, she cried all day long, and her mood became increasingly depressed. If this continued, she was worried that her aunt would become depressed.
She sniffed and suppressed her sadness. She stared at the urn on the bed, and there was a war between heaven and man in her heart.
Take it away, sorry Chen Zui.
I'm sorry to my aunt and uncle if I don't take it away.
The aunt and uncle only have one daughter, a cousin, who is middle-aged and has a white-haired daughter to give birth to a black-haired daughter. The pressure they face is huge.
It was a huge blow to not get a complete body of their own daughter after her death, but they couldn't even get a piece of bones. The last trace of thoughts was gone, and they lost the hope of life.
But what Chen Zui endured was no less than anyone else, and even worse.
If she takes away her cousin's bones, will he collapse?
Gu Wangshu's head hurt more and more, as if it was going to explode.
Chen must have put a lot of effort into collecting all the remaining skeletons in the explosion, right?
He didn't mind getting married to a bunch of skeletons, and his behavior already showed his deep love for his cousin.
She really wanted to be selfish for once, but she couldn't bear to hurt Chen Zui.
Gu Wangshu took one last deep look at the urn, and his tears began to fall uncontrollably.
Forget it, so be it.
Everything is life!
Not everyone will be as lucky as her and have the opportunity to be reborn and change their lives.
Gu Wangshu turned around and moved forward as if carrying a heavy weight, so dejected that he couldn't even lift up any strength.
"Let's go!"
These words seemed to be told to herself, and also to Qiu Chi.
Qiu Chi looked at Gu Wangshu, and then at the urn on the bed. She froze in place, feeling an uncontrollable impulse in her heart.
She doesn't want to see the young lady sad, nor does she want the young lady to be helpless when facing the sadness of her relatives.
She gritted her teeth, held the urn in her arms, and used
Gu Wangshu had already left the dormitory and didn't notice Qiu Chi at all.
Qiu Chi silently followed Gu Wangshu, hesitated again and again, and swallowed all the words he was about to say.
She would tell the young lady after she left the Marquis' Mansion. By then, if the young lady wanted to regret it, she would be reluctant to hand over her cousin's bones to Mr. Chen Hou.
Just like when they came, the two people left the inner courtyard smoothly and came to the outer courtyard.
The servants in the outer courtyard all looked at Wangshu and Qiuchi, and they all bowed and saluted. When they stood up straight, they saw Qiuchi holding something in his arms.
That thing seemed to be a box, but because Qiuchi covered it with his wide sleeves, they couldn't tell what it was for a while.
The servants were curious, but no one dared to ask.
They were just Sasao's servants, with low status, how could they dare to make trouble in front of the dignified eldest daughter of the general's palace.
Although Qiuchi is also a maid, the identities of a maid and a maid are also different.
Qiu Chi is Gu Wangshu's personal maid, and the two grew up together. Qiu Chi's identity is much more noble than that of Sasao's servant.
Due to various reasons, the servants of the Hou Mansion discovered that Qiu Chi was holding something in his arms, but no one dared to ask what it was.
They thought it was something given to Gu Wangshu by their Lord Marquis. It was best for them as servants not to ask too much about matters between masters.
The Marquis has been in a bad mood recently, and no one dares to shoot him because he has a long life.
In this way, after the servants finished saluting, they continued to sweep and do their own work.
Seeing this, Qiu Chi could finally let go of his worries.
She followed Gu Wangshu closely, walking all the way through the Hou's mansion, and finally arrived at the door of the mansion smoothly.
The concierge saw the two of them and sent them off respectfully.
Seeing the door of the mansion, Qiuchi could finally put her mind at ease. She urged, "Miss, let's go back to the mansion quickly. The family must be worried about you."
When Gu Wangshu heard this, he really quickened his pace.
The moment the two of them stepped out of the mansion, an angry roar came from behind.
"Gu Wangshu, you are looking for death-"
This sound was filled with overwhelming anger, and just the sound made people shudder.
Gu Wangshu was trembling with fright and didn't know what happened.
She turned around and saw Chen Zui, who was as fierce as a hungry wolf, running towards her at an extremely fast speed, with a blood-stained sword in his hand.
Chen Zui's eyes were red and he was locked on Gu Wangshu.
Gu Wangshu was so frightened that he froze in place.
"If you dare to touch my wife, I will kill you."
With this sound, Chen Zui raised his sword and stabbed Gu Wangshu mercilessly.
When people are frightened, their brains will go blank for a moment, and their bodies will become somewhat out of control.
Gu Wangshu's pupils shrank, knowing that danger was coming, but her legs seemed to have taken root and were beyond her control.
She didn't know why Chen Zui suddenly wanted to kill her, or what she had done to anger him.
At the moment when the sword was about to strike, Qiu Chi quickly stuffed the urn into Gu Wangshu's arms and pushed it hard.
Gu Wangshu's feet were unsteady and he took a few steps back before he managed to steady himself.
His eyes subconsciously looked towards his arms. When he saw what it was, Gu Wangshu finally understood why Chen Zui was so hostile to her.
It turned out that Qiu Chi was good at stealing her cousin's bones when she wasn't paying attention.
This was Chen Zui's fate. No wonder he was angered and wanted to kill her irrationally.
Gu Wangshu's fingers tightened on the urn. He might as well return his cousin to him.
Just as she was thinking this, Chen Zui yelled at her: "Give Mu Sheng back to me."
At the same time, the second sword also arrived.
"Miss—" Qiu Chi screamed and rushed to stop Chen Zui, but was kicked away by Chen Zui.
The force of this kick was so heavy that Qiu Chi flew over a foot away and was thrown heavily to the ground, unable to get up again.
Just as the sword was about to hit Gu Wangshu's shoulder, at this critical moment, a man came on horseback. At the same moment as he passed by her, he lifted her onto the horse's back and held her captive in his chest. .
Too many changes had happened in the electric field, and Gu Wangshu had long since lost his reaction.
She smelled the familiar smell of the man in front of her. She knew who it was without looking, and her uneasy heart finally calmed down.
The horse ran very fast and soon left the Hou Mansion behind, but it did not leave Chen Zui behind.
Chen Zui was chasing after them on horseback, looking so murderous that he wanted to tear Gu Wangshu and He Lianhuan into pieces.
Originally, Gu Wangshu planned to return his cousin to him, but he wanted to beat or kill her regardless of the circumstances, which made Gu Wangshu lose his temper.
She hugged the urn tightly and gave Chen Zui an indifferent look.
He Lianhuan held her waist with one hand, held the horse's reins with the other hand, and clamped the horse's belly with his two slender legs.
Like an arrow from a string, the horse galloped past Taiping Street and ran all the way out of Yong'an City.
Outside Yong'an City, the land that was damaged beyond recognition by the bombing has been filled in, but traces of that tragic day can be vaguely seen.
The surrounding ground was still scorched black and lifeless.
Passing by here, Gu Wangshu's heart suddenly tightened.
Even more sad than her was Chen Zui, who was chasing after her.
When he came to this place, his body began to tremble involuntarily.
In front of his eyes, Yun Musheng's hands were tied and he was wearing only a thin white coat, running towards him from a distance.
Her mouth was gagged, and she shook her head in his direction with all her strength, and kept making "uh huh" sounds.
At that time, he didn't understand why she was doing this, and he just wanted to run to her and rescue her.
It was his approach that became her reminder.
She would rather be blown to death, burned to pieces, and turned into charcoal than he would be harmed.
She loved him as much as her life, he knew this, but on that day he intuitively saw what it meant to love you more than his own life.
The oppression of the past few days broke out at this moment.
A mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth and sprinkled on the horse beneath him.
He didn't care about his body, his mind and eyes were full of Yun Musheng, and he kept riding forward.
"Give it back to me, Mu Sheng!"
He issued orders word by word, his eyes radiating a soul-stirring coldness.
Gu Wangshu's heart suddenly softened when he saw him vomiting blood and looking crazy.
Even if his cousin dies, Chen Zui is willing to marry her and make her his real wife.
Strictly speaking, my cousin is already Chen Zui's wife. Even if she dies, she will share the same acupoint with him and bear his surname.
She had no right to take away his wife, not even the Yun family.
At this moment, Gu Wangshu suddenly felt relieved.
What the cousin wanted was Chen Zui's heart, and her wish came true.
My cousin is lucky to meet someone who loves her wholeheartedly.
Gu Wangshu sighed: "Your Highness, stop, I'd better give my cousin back to him."
He Lianhuan did not stop, his whole face was terrifyingly cold.
"If I hadn't appeared just now, you would have died by his sword."
Gu Wangshu pursed his lips: "He just wants his cousin back too much."
He Lianhuan curled his lips and sneered: "He wants to return the one he loves, but he doesn't care about the life and death of the one he loves?"
Gu Wangshu turned around suddenly and looked at He Lianhuan in disbelief.
Her relationship with His Highness is very delicate.
The two held hands and kissed. Their relationship was very subtle, a little closer than friends, but a little further away than lovers.
She sincerely admired him and liked his temperament from the bottom of her heart, but she did not dare to have any expectations for him, who was noble and scheming.
His pattern is destined not to be trapped by emotions.
She just felt that His Highness had a crush on her, but there was no talk of love.
But I didn't expect the word "love" to come out of his mouth.
What is love?
In the past life, the present life, and the three lifetimes put together, Gu Wangshu didn't know what true love was.
It had never happened to her, but she had seen it from Chen Zui and Yun Musheng.
Love is to keep you alive and to be willing to sacrifice your life for your life.
Love is to be with you, to keep you close to me until death, and never leave you.
People like Chen Zui, who don't love someone, can be so indifferent that they don't treat people as human beings.
But when he falls in love with someone, he can also lower his attitude to the lowest level.
Although it was twisted, it gave Gu Wangshu a great shock in his heart.
"Your Highness, I'm fine." She comforted He Lianhuan softly.
"Are you okay? But I have something!" He Lianhuan's voice was cold.
"If I had come a little later, you would have died under Chen Zui's sword. No one knows the feeling of watching the person you love die in front of you but being unable to do anything about it better than Chen Zui. Do you want me to become like him? "
Gu Wangshu was speechless when asked.
He Lianhuan said leisurely: "Xiyue, I don't want to see your fate be like Yun Musheng's. What I want is to be in the same world with you, holding your hand and growing old together."
"Chen Zui's merciless behavior towards you is, in my opinion, the same as when Fu Shoucheng blew up Yun Musheng to death."
"So, I can't forgive him easily, even if he has difficulties."
"You can return Yun Mu Sheng's bones, but only after my anger subsides."
His words were loud and clear, and the arm holding Gu Wangshu gradually tightened, as if he wanted to integrate her into his flesh and blood.
He has always been calm, restrained and courteous.
To be able to make him lose his mind must have touched his bottom line.
Gu Wangshu's heart felt warm, she leaned into his arms and said no more words.
Two horses, one behind the other, ran wildly towards the outside of the city, running for more than 20 miles before stopping.
Surrounded by trees and a cool breeze blowing.
He Lianhuan jumped off the horse, and then took Gu Wangshu off the horse.
It was at this time that Chen Zui also arrived.
He flew off his horse, his eyes like a wolf, locked tightly on the urn in Gu Wangshu's arms.
Just as he was about to get closer, He Lianhuan stopped him with his sword.
"If you want to get Yun Musheng's bones back, you have to get through me first."
Chen Zui's eyes finally fell on He Lianhuan.
His eyes were still cold, and he did not give in at all because of He Lianhuan's identity.
"Your Highness, please respect yourself."
"Ha! Respect yourself? I will return this sentence to you."
Chen Zui's expression became increasingly ugly: "Since you are the second prince of Helian Kingdom, I won't argue with you. As long as Gu Wangshu returns Mu Sheng to me, I can spare her life."
He Lianhuan's eyes were instantly filled with murderous intent.
"Rao Xiyue will not die? You are not worthy of saying such things."
