Hong Jiu crawled behind a small slope, staring intently at the woods not far ahead.

To the right of this small slope was the army's garrison, and to the left were the woods. She ran out with Shen Zui and waited here, relaxing while waiting for Shen Zui.

She was wrapped in several thin coats, so even though it was late at night in the cold winter and the cold wind was blowing, she didn't feel cold at all, but instead felt a little hot - she wore too many clothes!

Shenzui said she was leaving tonight, but she was not allowed to take away anything from Huaimo. She thought about it, it was already winter, how could she not take it with her? Did Shenzui still expect her to be too arrogant like the almighty and just blink in the blink of an eye?

Make her a winter coat? So she thought about it and put on a few ready-made ones.

Huaimo and Shenzui had been in the woods for most of the night. Hongjiu was feeling hot and impatient. He stretched out his hand to pull open the collar of his clothes and muttered to himself, "I have to leave and I have to give him a night to sleep! Bastard Huaimo is really lucky."

..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Shen Zui running out of the woods in a hurry. Hongjiu was overjoyed and ran out immediately.

"Intoxicated...ah!"

Hongjiu ran excitedly all the way, but when he saw Shenzui's face clearly, he screamed. At this moment, most of Shenzui's face was covered with blood, and some of it was even solidified, which was very scary.

Shen Zui hurriedly covered Hongjiu's mouth with her hand. When she raised her hand, Hongjiu was frightened by the red color on her hand, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"Shh, don't scream, it's not my blood."

Hong Jiu blinked and smiled happily, "Did you kill him?"

When Shenzui heard the word "death", her heart felt inexplicably. She shook her head, "No."

Hongjiu was so disappointed, "You are sparing his life now so that he can pester you for the rest of your life?"

Shen Zui was confused at the moment, his heart was clogged, and he waved his hands in annoyance, "Where's Rong Rong?"

"Already knocked her out."

Shenzui nodded, "Then you go back again, I'll wait for you here."

"Go back?" Hong Jiu opened his eyes in disbelief, "Are you crazy? If we don't run away quickly, what are we going to waste our time on?"

"Go and inform Xiaobai that Huaimo is in the woods and her life is in danger. Ask her to come quickly."

"You... why do you care about his life or death? It would be better for him to die here. Once and for all, there will be no one to catch you in the future." Hong Jiu was so angry that he jumped in front of Shen Zui.

Shen Zui felt uncomfortable, and Hong Jiu kept yelling. She looked back at the woods in annoyance, said no more, and walked past Hong Jiu.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" Hongjiu hurriedly grabbed her.

Shen Zui said calmly, "If you don't go, I will."

The corners of Hong Jiu's lips twitched, and after a long moment, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, "I'll go right away!"

After Hongjiu finished speaking, he walked away from the deep drunkenness. As he walked, he snorted, "You can't let go of him like this. It's strange that he doesn't misunderstand that you love him to death!"

It was quiet in the dark night. Shen Zui heard Hong Jiu's words clearly, and felt a dull pain in his heart.

It's not a misunderstanding... she just loves him. Even if she knows that he treats her like this, she still loves him and is reluctant to let him die. In fact, if she is sensible enough, letting Huai Mo die here is the best solution. But

, she couldn't bear it.

I can't bear to leave him, but I can't even stay. I can only leave and then slowly forget him.

No matter how much you love, you should let go when it’s time to let go.

Xiaobai came very quickly. As soon as he saw her figure from a distance, she immediately flew over and went straight to Shenzui, grabbing Shenzui's wrist tightly with one hand.

Hong Jiu panted and followed up to pull Xiao Bai, "Let go, you made a mistake, the one who is going to die is inside, why don't you go in and get him out!"

Xiaobai's face was condensed and he stared at Shenzui closely, "You are not allowed to leave either, come in with me!"

Shen Zui glanced at his wrist that was caught by her, "I don't hate him to the bone yet, so I will spare his life. If you force me to stay, I will kill him thousands of times."

Given the opportunity, are you really sure you want me to stay unwillingly? Think clearly, the person you come to pick up next time may not be a living person."

"Reluctantly?" Xiaobai frowned, "Shenzui, what do you want? I love you now so much that it even exceeds his own imagination."

"Really?" Shen Zui asked calmly.

Xiaobai gritted his teeth angrily, "Do you think I don't love you? If he doesn't love you, with his cold personality, he will think about you all the time and think about how to please you? If he doesn't love you, he will

Just plot against him, why bother thinking about everything carefully, just to keep you safe? Chenzui, do you think it’s already terrible now? Do you think the only person who has benefited the most from this matter is me? No, I

Tell you, and you

!You were demoted not because I was cruel, but because he wanted to save your life! The emperor is dissatisfied with you and is increasingly murderous. If you continue to be favored by me and be his wife, you will be eliminated sooner or later.

Block, it is difficult to guard against hidden arrows. Above the court, either the person with the highest status will always live longer, otherwise the lower the status will always be. I want to protect you in this way and gradually eliminate the emperor's murderous intention towards you. Why don't you

Would you like to feel a little aggrieved for a while?"

Shen Zui listened to Xiao Bai's words quietly and did not refute, but after she finished speaking, he asked, "What would you do if Xiao Hei wanted to marry another woman but demoted you as a concubine?"

Xiaobai was speechless and speechless.

Shen Zui said calmly, "I love Huai Mo as much as you love Xiao Hei."

Xiaobai choked, and her eyes that had been staring hard at Shen Zui gradually became confused. After a long time, she laughed to herself, "Yes, I was wrong... I only thought that you didn't love him, but I didn't think that you loved him too much.

You don’t have to care if you don’t love it, but you can’t tolerate it until you love it.”

Xiao Bai slowly let go of Shen Zui's hand, and Shen Zui looked at Xiao Bai deeply, "Thank you. You have saved me many times, and now you are considerate of me."

Xiaobai smiled bitterly, "If I said I wanted to exchange this favor for you to be with me, would you be willing?"

Drunk in silence.

"I've made things difficult for you, but Shenzui... If you and I can't be together in this life, even I will be heartbroken. So, I will help you escape, and I can hold you back for you, but you also promise me that if one day

, you are still found by him, then, believe that it is your fate, don't resist to the death. Okay?"

Xiaobai's eyes were red, and his voice was so soft that he was almost begging. Shen Zui felt sour and hot at the sight of that look, and couldn't help but nodded lightly, "Okay."

It's just...he won't find me. She added silently in her heart.

***

"Sink, sink, stop... don't go..."

"You dare...you dare to escape..."

Rumblings could be heard from time to time inside the tent. Outside, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai were waiting alone. Xiao Hei had a sullen face and felt Xiao Bai looking at him many times. He did not move at all and his face was tense.

It was dawn now, and the sky was dimly visible. Xiaobai looked at the sky and frowned, "The army will set off soon. If I don't wake up..."

Xiao Hei ignored her.

Xiaobai asked, "Do you want to feed him some more antidote?" He didn't know how much Shen Zui had done.

When she found Huaimo, he was covered in blood and frighteningly weak.

Xiao Hei sneered, "I thought you wished he would never wake up."

"What are you talking about?"

Xiao Hei glanced at him lightly and was about to speak, but only heard a dull "bang" sound coming from inside. Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai were startled and rushed in hurriedly.

As soon as the two of them entered, they saw Huai Mo lying on the ground. His middle coat was wrinkled, his face was pale, and he fell to the ground again. He looked more embarrassed than ever before, but his eyes were sharp and dark. When he saw them, he looked coldly.

He looked over and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Shenzui? I want to see her, right away, right away!"

Xiaobai glanced at Xiaohei hesitantly, then stepped forward to help him.

"Master..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Huai Mo opened her mouth violently.

Although he was weak, a realization at this moment made him furious, and his skills also recovered a lot. With this angry palm, Xiaobai had no power to parry, and his body was thrown away.

Seeing this, Xiao Hei hurriedly caught her, put her in his arms, and immediately knelt down towards Huai Mo, "I forgive you! It's my subordinate's incompetence in doing things..."

"She escaped?"

Huai Mo interrupted Xiao Hei's words harshly, his eyes suddenly turned red and frighteningly crazy, like those beasts in the jungle that had lost their treasure.

Xiao Hei wanted to say something more, but finally lowered his head silently.

Seeing that Xiao Hei wanted to take all the blame on herself, Xiao Bai's heart softened but hurt even more. She made up her mind and was about to speak, but she felt a flash in front of her eyes. When she looked closely, she saw that Huai Mo had already staggered out.

When Huai Mo saw Xiao Hei's reaction, he felt that the fear and panic in his heart that he had suppressed with all his strength surged out in an instant, like a huge wave during a tsunami.

Submerged, unable to breathe, subconsciously struggling to death...
