Nan Baozhu hurried back to the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion in a cloak.

The bedroom was dark and the lights were bright, and Ning Wanzhou was not there at all.

She called the old housekeeper to ask, and the old housekeeper was also puzzled: "The Duke went out early in the morning and said he was going to attend the wedding banquet in Chen Mansion... Did you really not meet at the banquet?"

Nan Baozhu gritted her teeth.

If she meets her, she won't come back to find someone.

She sent the old housekeeper and lit several lights in the bedroom alone.

She sat down beside the bed and took out the jade pendant of peace from her arms.

The jade is tender and flawless, and the emerald green light flows under the candlelight. It should be something that calms people's mind, but she still feels uneasy when she holds it in her palm.

Wanwanhe...

What's wrong?

The young man who was worried about by the girl was kneeling in the cold palace hall.

He wore a narrow knife around his waist and a white crane silk robe. In just half a month, his cheeks were thin and slightly sunken. Although his appearance was still handsome and beautiful, his demeanor was a bit sharp like a blade.

He slowly raised his scarlet peach blossom eyes.

The palace maids and Tianshu elite guarding Chen Jiang in the hall were both put down and unconscious, but Chen Jiang was left alone.

The woman who killed his parents, even though she had white hair, was still dressed up in a decent and luxurious manner. She sat on the ground, cooking tea leisurely, as if she was not the one who came to take revenge, but the most close friends she hadn't seen for many years.

The tea is boiling.

Chen Jiang slowly poured a small cup and pushed it from the tea table to Ning Wanzhou: "When your mother was a close friend of all things to talk to me when she was young. She loved drinking the Biluochun cooked by me the most, and you can try it."

The fragrance of tea is filled with darkness, Ning Wanzhou's face is clear and unpredictable.

His hand was pressed on the hilt of the knife and he slapped it word by word: "I'm not here to have tea."

Chen Jiang smiled: "Oh?"

Ning Wanzhou calmed down for a moment of his breathing, took out the peach wood talisman from his arms, and threw it on the tea table with a "clang".

Chen Jiang looked at it.

The peach wood talisman is carved with ancient and complex totems, and a strange dark light flows under the palace lanterns, as if it is bewitching people's hearts.

She withdrew her gaze and ate the tea quietly.

Ning Wanzhou said coldly: "In the past half month, I have been tracing the origin of this thing among the people. It is called the Fire God Card, which is something from the Fire Clan. Huo Qi disguised himself as a witch and sold this thing to the grandmother of the Nan family. Then it fell indirectly into my hands. It bewitched my heart every night and urged me to kill you."

Chen Jiang sneered: "If you want to take revenge, just do it. I'm here, why do you have to find any excuses for the Vulcan card?"

Ning Wanzhou still pressed the hilt of the knife at his waist and looked at her: "Do you know I miss my parents? So I deliberately asked Huo Qi to arrange a Vulcan card for me. The emperor suspected it early in the morning. You were behind the scenes and gave advice to Huo Qi. I didn't understand why you were like this before, but now I understand. Do you want to die? Do you want me to end your life, right?"

Chen Jiang raised her sleeves and covered her lips? She laughed out loud.

She smiled enough, and she raised her jaw provocatively: "So what? Your parents died under the plot of my palace. Ning Wanzhou? Do you really don't want to avenge them? I'm here? If you don't dare to kill me? Your parents are not allowed to rest in peace in the nine springs. Ning Wanzhou? Kill me!"

Ning Wanzhou pursed his thin lips tightly.

The peach blossom eyes were covered with red bloodshots, and the blue and blackness at the moment made him look very haggard? But deep in his pupils was hidden in the clear light that had never been seen in several years.

The enemy is right in front of you.

But his hand holding the hilt of the knife slowly loosened.

He said, "At the beginning? I really want to kill you? But if I kill you, Nan Baoyi will die. Queen Chen, I now understand that the parents in the illusion are ferocious and distorted. They are not my real father and mother. My father and mother are different from you, and my mother is definitely not as cruel and ruthless as you. If they still live in the world, they will never agree to let Nan Baoyi become a victim of revenge."

Chen Jiang's smile froze.

Her eyes were covered with ferociousness and mocking: "After all, you dare not!"

Ning Wanzhou smiled.

He picked up the hot tea and sipped it all calmly.

He stood up and walked out of the hall: "I will not kill you, nor will I be greedy for the illusion created by the Vulcan Card for me. Queen Shen, you should be alive, and you should be alive is the punishment-"

Before the words were finished—

A strong wind swept behind it and suddenly blew open the wooden window.

The beauty in the purple palace skirt turned to the ground, her white hair was mixed with snowflakes pouring in from the window, and a sharp blade was already added in her right hand.

Ning Wanzhou's face changed drastically.

He reached out and touched his waist, and the sword was indeed gone!

He quickly turned around: "Queen Shen--"

There was no time to seize the narrow knife from Shen Jiang's hand.

The curved sharp blade passed through the thrilling dark light in the cold snowy night, and it brushed across the white and tender neck neatly-

...

Ba River.

Before the fireworks began to bloom, the coast was already very lively. The vendors were happily hawking up the sale with all kinds of flower cakes, tea fruits, hairpins, rings, hats and other small items. The people who came to visit were flocking to each other and happily walked along the river.

Xiao Yi held Zhaoye Yu Lion in one hand and Nan Baoyi in the other.

The little girl was jumping around, and he was afraid that she would be lost, so he always took care of her.

Nan Baoyi saw everything fresh.

She suddenly pointed to the stall selling candied haws: "He helped Boss Han and didn't care about having a good meal this day. Second brother, please buy me a bunch of candied haws, right?"

Xiao Yi looked at the thick layer of sugar coat outside the hawthorn fruit and disliked: "It's midnight, and eating sweets now makes it easy to have tooth decay--"

Before he finished speaking, the little girl was holding his arm and began to act coquettishly: "I want to eat that. Can the second brother buy me that? I don't have tooth decay. I clean my teeth every day... I will buy it for me!"

She raised her little face, and her curved eyes were as bright as two crystal clear crescent moons.

Her coquettish look was sweet and foul, which made Xiao Yi ruthless and reluctant to refuse.

He pondered for a moment and had to step back: "Only one skewer is allowed."

Nan Baoyi happily bought candied haws.

The hawthorn was sour and sweet. She was happy to eat it. She couldn't help but raise the candied haws and wanted Xiao Yi to try it out.

Xiao Yi shook his head. He always didn't like sweets.

Nan Baoyi was not angry either and continued to eat happily.

Xiao Yi looked down at her. The little girl bit a hawthorn fruit, perhaps because of the sugar-coated teeth, and just bit off the wooden sign.

He watched it fun, so he quickly bent down and bit the hawthorn fruit from her mouth.

Through the hawthorn fruit, the eyes are opposite each other, the lips are touching each other, the sweet and sour are intertwined, soft as water, and as cold as fire.

Nan Baoyi's pupils dilated slightly.

She ate half of the hawthorn in a few bites, and blushed with a little red face: "I'll give you some food, but I'll come and eat what I'm on my mouth... Is the one on my mouth better?"

Xiao Yi chewed half of the hawthorn fruit and glanced at her with a smile: "The hawthorn beside Nan Jiaojiao's mouth is indeed sweeter."

Nan Baoyi was angry and shy and refused to walk forward any further.

Xiao Yi simply carried her on the back of the horse and walked forward with the reins himself.

He pointed at the horse whip: "There is Baqiao in front of it. The people from the Shen family are preparing to set off fireworks there. Have you seen the willow trees beside the bridge? That is the willows on the Baqiao, which is also a famous scene in Chang'an City. I'll take you to take a look."
