Chapter 237
Those desperate eyes, that silently shed tears.

The lingering wind, the messy blue hair.

"boom."

A cluster of torches is thrown down, as if everything around is set ablaze.

My eyes are blinded, and my bones are cold.

Hot smoke billowed up, gradually covering the figure in the chichi fire.

Under the square, the crowd watching the fire, but gradually, gradually, unconsciously, fell silent.

Not only the common people, but the emperor and prince on the high platform...

Burn at the stake!

The most severe criminal law in the history of Beirong, how many people screamed in misery, how many complained and cursed, how many cried and begged for mercy, it was earth-shattering.

It was the howling of ghosts and wolves directly to the sky and the earth.

However, at this time, there was nothing except the sound of fire and firewood intertwined.

Nothing.

The woman was dressed in white, surrounded by raging fire, burning, and the outline of her face became more and more blurred in the flames.

She laughed, she cried, but she didn't make a sound.

In the illusory scene, people can only see the scenes of coldness and perseverance.

God, it's raining heavily.

Wet the fire platform, a mess of ashes finally scattered all the images, thunder came, and all the people finally retreated.

For some reason, the people who were laughing at the beginning could not feel any joy in their hearts, and the scolding gradually stopped, and they were extremely embarrassed.

Did they do something wrong?

They suddenly remembered that this cold woman had never offended them, never really harmed them.

And under the high platform.

Watching the ants-like people retreat little by little, after a long time, the emperor waved his hand, and Eunuch Gao called out, "The emperor drives back to the palace."

The royal prestige made it even more desolate and Xiao Su here.

There was no wave on the emperor's face, and his face was frosty.

Heavy rain, still falling.

Only the prince stood under the eaves alone, in the rapid rain curtain, he didn't move at all, he seemed to have forgotten to salute.

"Prince, you are really, really good, you finally played with everyone in the applause."

Qi Rufeng walked over with a faint smile.

"Among power and desire, didn't you choose power? What qualifications do you have to talk about me?"

Yu Wenyao's cold realization condensed on Qi Rufeng's body bit by bit.

Qi Ru's pupils shrank, and for a moment, sneers flooded in.

Time slipped away bit by bit, until the last trace of anger was extinguished by the light rain from the sky.

The woman who was so beautiful just now finally died, and the ashes were soaked in no one knows where.

Looking around, there was silence in a blink of an eye.

Yu Wenyao's figure finally moved, and he walked towards the messy high platform. He didn't hold an umbrella, but with the energy flowing all over his body, the raindrops never got close to him.

"Send Xie Lingqin's ashes to the General's Mansion."

The cold order, amidst the rushing rain, still resounded loudly.

"Ah!"

Qi Rufeng stood under the eaves, with the corners of his lips parted, showing an endless coldness.

Yu Wenyao, in this world, only your heart is the most ruthless.

This gray, can you hold it up?

"Prince, the rain is too heavy."

Ting Feng stepped forward, his voice full of sadness.

"Yu Wenyao, take your life."

And just at this time, in the rain, Hengkong hit Yu Wenyao's vest imminently with a sword and a drink.

"Snapped."

And the danger is resolved in an instant.

Ting Feng was standing behind the prince, fending off the sword with great effort, at the same time, Yu Wenyao gently raised his sleeve.

The cold sharp blade pierced into the heart of the visitor.

"court death."

With a cold voice, Yu Wenyao looked at the woman lying on the ground with a cold expression, without any waves, "Nian you are her servant girl, I will leave you as a dead body."

"Yu Wenyao, I mistrusted you, I'm not worth it for my lady."

Tridacna clutched the wound on her heart, her eyes were bloodshot.

Yu Wenyao didn't get angry, but raised his eyebrows and walked slowly, walking in front of the giant clam.

Water stains flowed on the ground, but he was still not stained with dust.

"Prince, Yu Wenyao, my lady, my lady, she likes you, how much she likes you, how much she loves you, why...why...she believes in you so much and plans every step of the way for you, but you are like this Hurt her, hurt her like this...you Yuwen family members are so cruel, cold-blooded and vicious..."

Tridacna's voice became softer, and after saying the last few words, she tightly closed her eyes.

The rain became bigger and heavier, and the bloodstains spread out beautifully.

At this time, outside the city, Xuanyuan Du was escorted away.

The guards surrounding Nan Fenghuang and the second prince of Nan Qi also left one after another.

As for Shiidamu...

He looked at An Shangning beside him, "Everything is over, the fire has been extinguished, she has turned into ashes, you can't save her."

An Shangning's face was covered with water.

I don't know if it's tears or rain.

Sister Lingqin, after all, you believed in the wrong person.

……

Royal Palace.

Royal study.

"You actually let go of the Xixia prince and the barbarian prince?"

The emperor was furious, and suddenly got up from the seat behind the table.

Yu Wenyao raised his eyes lightly, and his cold eyes fell on the emperor bit by bit, "Is it possible that you really think that you can compete against the world with your own strength."

The emperor's sharp eyes sparkled, "We can evade it all to the barbarians, but we can win over Nan Qi."

"Ha ha……"

Yu Wenyao smiled coldly, "My dear father, Xie Lingqin is dead, don't you think about calming the hearts of the people? At this moment, going to war will do harm to Beirong."

After Yu Wenyao finished speaking, he looked at the emperor, "Also, please don't forget, father, what you said, I am willing to let go of Xie Lingqin, so I will give up the throne to me."

"Heh, my good prince, in the past, he was so pure and above water, but in the end, it is still the same. He is eyeing this throne. Don't worry, this throne must be yours."

"Wouldn't it belong to the Fifth Emperor?"

Yu Wenyao suddenly smiled.

The emperor looked startled.

"So, father, please don't play tricks. You should know that even if someone wants to cooperate with you in the entire Hades Palace, if I want to destroy it, it is an easy thing to do."

After Yu Wenyao finished speaking, he turned around and left the imperial study room, his whole body seemed to still carry the cold rain.

Behind him, the emperor was so angry that he couldn't let go, he sat back again, and after a while, he sneered again.

Prince, he really deserves to be his good son.

It's just that Yu Wenyao, who came out of the imperial study, retreated from the expression of eagerness for the throne just now, and his face was as cold as ice.

"Prince, the emperor wants to see..."

"Tell the queen, I'm busy."

Yu Wenyao replied to the father-in-law who hadn't finished speaking, and left the palace.

……

The rain has stopped.

The winter in Beirong this year is not only cold, it seems that the sky also gets dark earlier.

It seemed that the day had not been too long before it became dark.

The long streets and alleys seem to be less noisy than before, and some shops have closed their doors early.

Yu Wenyao walked to the gate of Tianxia Yiwei.

The world blindly closed the door, a lifeless look.

Yu Wenyao tapped his toes and jumped over the wall.

"Yu Wenyao, do you have a heart?"

Bai Yu was looking at him with a sword in his hand, his eyes were red and full of resentment, "In order not to let us rescue her, you trapped us here, Yu Wenyao, you are so cruel."

Yu Wenyao looked at Bai Yu, looked at the cold eyes, and didn't speak.

"Do you know how much she did for you that night, to get you on the throne, everything, she thought of everything for you, and she can help us avenge, but you..."

"I always thought that even if the crown prince gave up the throne and everything, he would not give up on her alone. Unexpectedly, we were wrong after all."

On the side, a person came out with a flagon.

It was Liu Yunzhou, lonely and regretful.

"I think she doesn't want to see you looking so lonely."

Yu Wenyao only said this, and turned to leave, but was stopped by Liu Yunzhou, "Prince, are you crazy, Prince, Xie Lingqin is dead, she is really dead, there is no such person in this world Girl, you..."

Liu Yunzhou took the wine and poured it into his mouth, "You let us wait, you said, you will give us the result. As a result, when we woke up, Xie Lingqin was dead, and it was the most severe fire torture since the founding of Beirong."

"I will avenge her now."

Bai Yu raised his toes, and the long sword came towards Yu Wenyao.

"stop."

In the air, Yu Qingyi suddenly appeared and kicked the sword away.

"Yi Shizi, you really want to help her, and you help him too..."

"I didn't help him."

The smile on Yu Qingyi's face had long since disappeared. He looked at Yu Wenyao, and then at Bai Yu and Liu Yunzhou, "You are all smart people, and the matter has come to an end. Is it useful if you kill him? Besides, you kill him." Got him?"

After finishing speaking, Yu Qingyi stepped forward and grabbed Yu Wenyao's sleeve, and flew away from Tianxiayiyi.

"Hey, prince, son Yi, what a coincidence."

Not far away, Qi Rufeng walked over with a smile on his face.

Yu Qingyi didn't bother to pay attention to him.

But Yu Wenyao's eyes fell on Qi Rufeng's face bit by bit, "I really didn't expect that you are the third elder of Hades Hall..."

"Is it an accident?"

"It's disappointment."

"That's right." Qi Rufeng sneered, "I didn't expect that the Great Elder of King Yan's Hall was actually the prince of Beirong Kingdom... yes... no..."

Qi Rufeng shook his head suddenly again, "No, it should be Yu Wen'an."

Qi Rufeng said it confidently.

Yu Wenyao just twitched his eyebrows lightly, and did not deny it, the deep sea was in his cold eyes, "I don't like people who talk a lot, so watch your mouth carefully."

After the words fell, Yu Wenyao turned and left.

Yu Qingyi naturally followed.

Under the moonlight, Qi Rufeng looked at Tai Shi and Yu Qingyi's back, with a smug sneer on his brows.

"Elder, it seems that the prince has offended many people this time, and in the future, some enemies will trouble him."

"It should be said that this Xie Lingqin is very popular, but seeing that the prince is unhappy, I am very happy in my heart, haha."

……

The long street was silent, Yu Qingyi looked behind him, then looked four times, then looked at Yu Wenyao, "Have you really made a decision?"

"Can I take it back now?"

Yu Wenyao looked sideways at Yu Qingyi, "You and I both know his methods, it's not because I'm afraid of him, but because I'm afraid of his despicableness, you know that."

"But, once..."

Before Yu Qingyi finished speaking, Yu Wenyao shook his head, "I know, we must speed up."

"Stuffy gourd." Yu Qingyi suddenly stopped him, the face that always had a smile and unrestrained expression now looked dignified, "You, it's alright."

……

"Cough cough..."

In the dark and damp tunnel, Xie Lingqin woke up coughing. She thought she was dead, but the pain that felt like being crushed all over her body reminded her that at the last moment of the destruction of the fire, her body fell and then passed out. .

At this moment, the surroundings were not completely dark, and there was faint light, her body was bleeding, the place where Li Qingyu stabbed her before, blood seeped out, she was in pain, her whole body was in pain.

The pain in her fingers made her gasp.

The surroundings were terribly quiet, as if every breath of hers could have an echo.

Unexpectedly, under this stand, there was such a mechanism, which was covered by her mother's huge bow, and no one noticed it, even she was on it at the time.

Who is this agency...

"Cough cough..."

Xie Lingqin coughed a few more times. She tried to stand up while leaning against the wall, only to realize that her leg was twisted.

Xie Lingqin is so tired, go to sleep, there is a voice calling her constantly.

In the dim light, there seemed to be a figure slowly approaching.

that figure...

"You, who are you..."

"I'm Mr. Dong, your year-end friend, you say you, I haven't gotten any benefits yet, I haven't used the rice paper you signed, and you just made it like this, now, I've lost a lot of money."

"Dong... Mr. Dong?"

Xie Lingqin was talking, and the eyes that wanted to close tried to open again, but they couldn't open, she was in pain.

I don't know where the pain is, but I know it is pain.

"You Mr. Dong, ahem... I've become like this, and you still think about... your benefits." Xie Lingqin was so angry that he finally saw the person approaching clearly.

"Of course, at such an advanced age, I always don't want to suffer..."

"Why don't you see if I'm worth anything? Sell me, anyway..."

Anyway, Xie Lingqin didn't say anything.

Anyway, she is like this now, she seems to have lost everything in an instant, the world is vast, she seems to be unable to grasp anything, and has nothing.

"Aren't you out of Beijing to see your wife? Why are you here?"

Xie Lingqin asked Elder Ren Dong to feel his pulse and asked softly.

"It's not that I received a letter from my family halfway, saying that my son was sick and asked me to stay at home for a while, so I went back to Beijing to pick up something. I didn't get the item, so I heard about you. Fortunately..."

Elder Dong seemed to be smiling, and he was very grateful, "Fortunately, you paid me this year-end friend, and it was not in vain."

"This organ, this secret passage, is you..."

"That's right, you know that I am a master of martial arts. It's not easy. I have been in the capital for so many years. I have to find a way out for myself. I never thought about it. I haven't used this tunnel yet, but you can use it." Come on, tell me, you are lucky, not unlucky."

"Hehe...cough cough..."

Xie Lingqin coughed violently again.

"Hold on, I'll help you treat the wound on your shoulder." Elder Dong said, pulling off Xie Lingqin's shirt. Although he had imagined it, when he saw the shocking wound, his eyes still tightened, and there was a moment. This kind of heartache spread and clamored in every cell of his body, but he could only control, control, and control again.

"Girl, bear with it." Elder Dong said.

"Well, it doesn't hurt, really." Xie Lingqin leaned against the stone wall almost powerlessly. When she said that it didn't hurt, her eyes were dim, and there was no gleam of light in her once dazzling star eyes.

The most painful time is over, now, what is the pain?

"Mr. Dong, you are very gentle today. You are here. Have you called for someone? I sprained my ankle and I can't walk. If I want to leave here, I need someone to help me..."

"It's okay, old man, I'll carry you in a while."

"Okay, I'll sleep for a while."

As Xie Lingqin said that, she really closed her eyes, and her arms drooped weakly.

She is so tired.

"Go to sleep, when you fall asleep, you will feel more relaxed and the pain will stop."

Elder Dong murmured softly, but he didn't stop extending his hand to help Xie Lingqin check.

His old and finely wrinkled hands landed on her slender ankles, helping her pinch and unblock her little by little.

It was extremely light and soft, not only did it not wake Xie Lingqin up, but it made her seem to sink into it.

After a long, long time, when Xie Lingqin opened his eyes again, he felt that he was moving. Below him were lean bones and slightly heavy breathing.

"Mr. Dong...you are an old bone, but you have great strength..."

"Damn girl, what crime do you think the old man did to get you."

Elder Dong seemed to regret it, he gasped for every word he said.

"I...cough cough...it's not heavy. You said you were panting. It seems that you are not old."

"Otherwise, can I leave Beijing and plan to retire to the elderly?"

"Oh."

Xie Lingqin's interest was not high, even though she was still joking, the pain still spread from her whole body.

"You, go slowly, it hurts my shoulder."

Xie Lingqin fell asleep again, "Why does your body smell so strong..."

"I'm a doctor, so it doesn't smell like medicine."

"Oh, let's go out, where are we going?"

"I can't show up, don't worry, someone will come to meet you."

"Oh……"

"I originally wanted to go to the Prince's Mansion to steal the antidote, but I didn't succeed. The antidote...was damaged, so you won't blame me."

"No wonder..."

A drop of coldness fell onto Elder Dong's neck.

Xie Lingqin fell asleep again.

When she woke up again, Xie Lingqin was already lying in a room.

The surroundings are simple and elegant, but it is not a familiar environment.

Xie Lingqin wanted to sit up violently, but leaned back with difficulty.

The loud noise startled the people outside the house.

Xu Yiran appeared in front of Xie Lingqin in an instant, looked at her still pale face, and stepped forward to hold her hand. At this moment, his eyes were turning red, and the pain of wanting to suffer for her was clearly written on the face.

Qingfengmingyue, a man who seems to be calm, after knowing that she was with Yu Wenyao that time, this is the second time Xie Lingqin saw it, and he was sad.

"Xu Yiran, it's good to see you again."

"Okay, everything will be fine."

"Where's Mr. Dong?"

"Elder Dong?"

"He saved me..."

"We found you in a ruined temple outside the city. It turns out that Elder Dong put you there."

"Yeah." Xie Lingqin closed her eyes lightly, and then fell silent, as if she didn't want to talk anymore.

"Young master, this is medicine."

At the door, Lu Wu walked in, the bowl in her hand exuded a strong smell of medicine.

Xu Yiran immediately took it carefully, handed it to the side of the bed, gently helped Xie Lingqin, and squeezed her, "Xiaoqin, drink the medicine."

"Leave it alone."

Xie Lingqin said without opening her eyes.

"Okay, I'll let it go first."

Xu Yiran's voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing Xie Lingqin's every breath.

"Xu Yiran, I want to be quiet, is that okay?"

"OK, alright."

There seemed to be no footsteps, only the sound of the door closing gently.

Only then did Xie Lingqin slowly open her eyes, looking at the whitish tassels on top of her head, her gaze was dull.

"Squeak."

The door that was closed just now was pushed open again, as if with the owner's suppressed anger.

"Miss Lingqin, don't torture my young master anymore, please, I can't save you, because something happened to the Temple of Heavenly Mysteries, you don't know, as soon as the incident happened, the prince led people to attack the Palace of Mystery, fortunately, the young master had expected something before, Evacuate everything early to avoid damage to the Palace of Secrets, and, this day and night, do you know how he came here."

Luwu walked to the bed step by step, she was worthless for Xu Yiran, "He went to the stand like crazy, desperately trying to take your ashes away, but the crown prince, with a wave of his sleeve, all the ashes have already been scattered, Do you know the young master's mood at that moment...you can't even imagine how much he loves you."

Lu Wu was not reconciled, "Do you know that when everything was disheartened, he got the news that you were alive, and when he found you, what a surprise it was. We should have left, but he said, you He was injured and had to recuperate for a few days, so we took a great risk and sneaked into the city again, just to let you use the best medicinal materials, but what about you, wake up, what did you give him? You have a good face, even if you don’t have one, you can say a word of thanks.”

The more Lu Wu spoke, the angrier she became, until she stood on the side of the bed, "You think you can pretend to be dead with your eyes closed. It is an undoubted fact that the crown prince betrayed you, but do you want to know another truth?"

"the truth?"

Xie Lingqin opened his eyes and looked at Lu Wu without blinking, his eyes were confused and stunned for a moment.

What truth is there.

 Today is still [-]+
