His body was thrown into Wolf Mountain, a place teeming with wolves, by his mother. When Ji Ruchen found him, he only found the arm that was tightly clutching the porcelain bottle containing the wound ointment.
"No need. Today, you escort Qing'er to Liang Kingdom. When I was young, I saved the life of the King of Liang Kingdom. He gave me this bone butterfly, saying that he would repay this life-saving grace in the future."
Take this with you and go seek refuge with him today. Also, please take good care of Qing'er for me.
Ji Ruchen took out a bone butterfly, intending for Gu Changzhou to take me to Liang Kingdom to escape.
Then he called Gu Changzhou over and whispered in his ear for a moment.
Gu Changzhou answered while kneeling:
"Your subject will obey your command and will certainly escort your sister-in-law safely to Liang Kingdom."
I realized something was wrong and tried to slip away, but before I could take more than a few steps, Ji Ruchen dragged me inside.
Yes, I was eavesdropping and peeking outside the tent the whole time.
I don't know if Ji Ruchen discovered me in time; my martial arts skills are still too weak.
"You heard what I just said, right? I've already had your things packed up. After midnight, you and Wushang can leave together."
Don't worry about me. After this war is over, I'll come to Liang Kingdom to find you. Then, we'll have a grand wedding, and we'll never be apart again.
Ji Ruchen tried to coax me as usual, thinking I would actually believe his nonsense.
Although I may be a bit naive, I am still aware of my current situation.
In Beishan City now, not even a fly could escape. He suddenly summoned Gu Changzhou and me to Liang Kingdom, and discussed this matter in front of so many generals. Could there be a traitor among us?
"Yes, I will follow your arrangements, sir." In these final moments, I wanted him to be happy, so I said this in a slightly coquettish tone.
A few streaks of red light shone through the dark, iron-faced generals on the field.
Only the newly appointed commander, General Pei Shuo, glanced at me and Ji Ruchen without leaving a trace, then his pupils contracted slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.
That night, Gu Changzhou, Xiao Qing, and I pretended to run away. Before we had gone two or three miles, we saw flames soaring into the sky where the army was stationed.
The dark mass of Anguo troops followed one after another.
I suddenly realized that Ji Ruchen really intended to abandon me and die alone. He dared to do that.
I spurred my horse back, knowing that Gu Changzhou would definitely stop me, and quickly tugged at Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing entangled Gu Changzhou, and I took the opportunity to escape back to the military camp. Just then, I saw an arrow flying towards Ji Ruchen. In a moment of desperation, I felt myself suddenly filled with power and rushed towards Ji Ruchen without regard for my own safety.
Ji Ruchen was tackled by me. In that instant, the blade entered my back and passed through my heart. Ji Ruchen's personal guards sensed this and surrounded us.
Ji Ruchen held me and cried his heart out. This was the second time he had cried for me.
I trembled as I wiped away his tears and told him to stop crying, then I lost consciousness.
In a daze, I heard Xiao Qing's shouts and Ji Ruchen's hysterical roars.
My body slowly became lighter and lighter, and I knew clearly that I was dead.
I saw myself in Ji Ruchen's arms; I was no longer myself.
I watched as he kissed my forehead, placed me on the cold ground, turned and rushed out to fight the enemy until the very end, when he died pierced by a thousand arrows.
It wasn't until Xiao Qing, who appeared behind me at some point, gently called me "Princess" that I came to my senses.
