All the lights and candles in the side hall were extinguished.
Only a dim palace lantern was still lit.
The mocking and sarcastic looks from everyone at the banquet just now were like sharp swords piercing Qi Yu's heart.
He was not unaware of those people's malicious intentions.
Just trying not to cause her any trouble.
Qi Yu changed his clothes and came out. The palace servants were guarding outside. They lowered their eyebrows and said in a pleasant manner, "Sir, please come here."
There was no light at all in the long corridor.
Qi Yu's uneasiness grew. He stopped and said cautiously, "This is not the way back to Siyong Palace."
The palace maid still had her head down, and her expression could not be seen clearly. "How could it be, my lord, you have made a mistake."
Qi Yu's expression was icy, and he immediately understood what was going on. "Who is your master? Who told you to do this?"
In front of the promenade is a clear lake with a thin layer of ice on the surface.
Several carps were floating under the thin ice with their white bellies turned up.
The death was miserable.
Qi Yu took a few steps back. In the darkness, the palace servants lowered their heads and fled in a hurry, leaving Qi Yu alone.
Soon, there were light, scalp-numbing footsteps behind him.
Qi Yu turned his head.
But Jiang Zhan had a cute smile on his lips, and a bright red cinnabar on his brow, like a compassionate bodhisattva, made of jade. The young man tilted his head and uttered a chilling word, "Why don't you just die?"
Behind Qi Yu is the icy lake.
There is no way to retreat.
The exquisite dagger in Jiang Zhan's hand glowed coldly in the moonlight.
He chuckled, "I'm so jealous of you. Why don't you just die?"
Qi Yu's face was expressionless. "If you kill me, His Highness will not let you go."
Jiang Zhan uttered a low "tsk" sound, his eyes dangerous and sinister, like a devil from hell demanding his life, "Why don't you understand what I'm saying? Your Highness won't know it was me, and you, a dead man, can't even speak, huh."
Suddenly, there were the sounds of footsteps at the end of the corridor.
Jiang Zhan still smiled softly with his lips curled up.
His eyes dimmed in an instant.
Without waiting for Qi Yu to react, the young man stabbed the dagger into his heart, and pulled Qi Yu's hand and forcefully stuffed the blood-stained dagger into his hand.
The footsteps are approaching.
The boy fell into the freezing cold lake with a splash.
Jiang Zhan uttered a cry for help, "Help... Help, Your Highness, help..."
The boy's blood dyed the lake red.
He almost killed him.
Qi Yu reacted and hurriedly dropped the dagger in his hand. As he heard an unbelievable female voice in his ears, his heart sank and even his limbs felt cold.
"Jiang Zhan!"
There were two people following behind Panshu.
Ban Ruo, and Gu Chi who looked like he was enjoying the show.
When Pan Shu walked past Qi Yu, he gently grabbed the girl's cold and slender wrist and opened his mouth to explain, but his heart ached when he saw the girl's disappointed and cold eyes.
"Qi Yu, you really disappoint me!"
After saying that, she jumped into the lake and held the boy tightly in her arms.
The lake water is so icy in deep winter.
I have almost lost all feeling in my limbs.
Jiang Zhan seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, his eyes closed tightly as if he had fainted, "Your Highness... Your Highness, it's so cold, so cold..."
The boy's thin body was covered in blood.
Her usually bright eyes and brows seemed to have lost all vitality.
Surrounded by death.
Gu Chi let out a low "tsk" sound.
Qi Yu couldn't hear what he said clearly, his eyes were only filled with the two people hugging each other tightly in the lake.
And he——
It was like she excluded me from the world.
She doesn't want him anymore.
The thought of this possibility caused Qi Yu to spasm in pain.
It wasn't him who did it.
It’s Jiang Zhan.
It was Jiang Zhan who framed him.
But his throat seemed to be lost and he couldn't utter a word. Something hot liquid vaguely flowed from his eyes and he had no feeling in his limbs.
When the girl helped the unconscious Jiang Zhan up, her clothes were soaked.
Pale and fragile.
Ban Ruo took off his cloak and covered her with it. "Let's go. I've asked someone to call the imperial physician."
Pan Shu nodded with difficulty.
When she passed Qi Yu, she paused, her eyes lowered, the water droplets on her eyelashes almost condensed into frost, "You shouldn't be like this, Qi Yu."
Qi Yu grabbed her with such force that he almost crushed her bones.
His face was cold, his voice was filled with disbelief, and there was a hint of fear: "You don't believe me?!"
The girl broke away from him, staring at him coldly. "How can I trust you? Ziqian has always been well-behaved and sensible, never arguing with you. On the way to the palace, you kept arguing with him, and I saw it all, but did Ziqian ever disrespect you? You should never have been so cruel to him. If anything happens to Ziqian, I will never let you go."
That's ridiculous.
The person who said he loved him a few days ago.
But now she was speaking ill of him for another man.
Qi Yu thought sadly——
After all, she is too heartless.
Or has he already fallen in love?
otherwise.
Why does my heart hurt so much?
The pain is so severe that I am about to die...
Qi Yu let go of his hand dejectedly, and lowered his slender neck almost pleadingly, "Don't leave me... I was wrong..."
Hot tears slid down her cheeks one by one onto her clothes.
Only a dark, wet mark was left.
The corners of his eyes were bloodshot, and he pleaded, "Your Highness, don't do this to me, please... don't do this to me..."
The girl seemed reluctant, she brushed his hand away, "If you still have some conscience, you'd better go to the Buddha and pray that nothing happens to Jiang Zhan."
The wound on the boy's heart was so deep that the bones were visible.
It can be seen that the person who did it used a lot of force.
Gu Chi looked at the unconscious boy on the bed with a gloomy expression, thinking to himself, how cruel, cruel to others and even crueler to himself.
People like this are the most terrifying.
Qi Yu moved his fingertips and looked towards the room with indifferent eyes.
He turned around and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The blood bloomed like red plum blossoms on his snow-white clothes.
Tianzhu was terrified, "Master! I'll go call His Highness!"
Qi Yu shook his head slightly and laughed at himself, "She won't believe me anymore. She will just... think I'm pretending."
"Her Highness..."
"Prepare the car to go to Guanglu Temple."
"yes."
Guanglu Temple.
The soft ringing of bells and the cool white walls of the temple mixed with the pine scent of soil make people feel relaxed for no reason.
The man held a few long incense sticks.
Kneel before the Buddha.
The Buddha sat at the top of the golden temple with tolerance and kindness, his hands resting on his knees, looking at the believers kneeling on the cushions with compassionate eyes.
Qi Yu inserted the burning incense into the incense burner with an expressionless face.
"I don't believe in Buddhism. I didn't do what happened to Jiang Zhan." He sneered, "Buddha actually taught a vicious and evil ghost. Who does the Buddha have mercy on?"
"Jiang Zhan is awake."
