Xiao Yu was in the midst of kicking pebbles out of boredom, and seeing that Duke Bei Chen had come out, he quickly came over and said: "Third Prince, you've awoken, where's our princess?"

Lord Bei Chen laughed indifferently, "Ai'er, she is sleeping in my bed." When he said this, there was a hint of ambiguity in his words.

In the end, Xiao Yu was still young, and was also a girl. Upon hearing that, her face immediately blushed. The Duke of Beichen spoke a few more words, and left.

In the main hall.

Beichen's face was very serious, no, there was a hint of coldness in it, and below him stood two people that looked like generals.

Suddenly, the Duke of Beichen came in from the outside, looking as lazy as ever. Seeing that it was the Duke of Beichen, he immediately got up from the Dragon Throne in delight, "My lord, you're awake!"

Lord Beichen smiled in return, his eyes casually swept past the two men. When Beichen saw them, he waved to them, and the two men left the stage.

Only the two of them were left in the great hall, and the Duke of Beichen was no longer smiling, "Father, are you trying to take back the military power of Icemountain?" Although it was a question, the tone was firm.

Bei Chenyan suddenly became angry, "That bastard dared to beat you to such a state, and almost caused you to lose your life. He even dared to speak nonsense, and if I don't take over his military authority and send him to prison, it will be hard to quell the anger in my heart."

The Duke of Beichen had a smile on his face, but it didn't contain any hint of a smile, just a somewhat cold smile.

Bei Chenyan continued, "Who does he think he is? He is just the lowest person. If not for that year's incident, he would have had the present Bei Chenghan, the present Second Prince …" The more he spoke, the angrier he got. He slammed his palm on the table.

"Royal father, if you want to touch him, it doesn't matter if you want to kill him, it's just that." The smile disappeared from the Duke of Beichen's face, "I'll have to wait until Little Nuo doesn't love him anymore. I don't want Little Nuo to feel sad." At this point, the Duke's voice was gentle.

"Not until Suno doesn't love him." Bei Zhen Yan seemed to have heard a huge joke: "It's impossible for her to be like that for the rest of her life."

Lord Beichen laughed gently: "Then I can't let my royal father touch him anymore."

Bei Chen Yan opened his eyes wide as he looked at Duke Bei Chen: "He wants to kill you, but you still don't let me kill you, maybe he will even threaten your throne in the future, do you know that? Besides, if you kill him, you can marry Su Nuo, you always wanted to marry Su Nuo, royal father promised you, and he won't stop you anymore, if it's what you want, royal father will give it to you, you are my beloved child to your mother."

The Duke's eyes were full of coldness, "Imperial Father, there is no one in this world who wants to kill him more than me, but as long as little Nuo cares about him, I will not touch him, not even for a second."

Bei Zhen Yan looked at the Duke in disbelief, speechless.

The Duke of Beichen looked at Beichen, "Father, I know that everything is for my own good, but I have lived my whole life for the sake of Little Nuo, so I will not do anything that Little Nuo doesn't want to do. Absolutely not."

Bei Chenyan looked at him, and finally revealed a sorrowful expression, "My lord, you really love Su Nuo that much."

Duke Bei Chen just looked at Bei Zhen Yan, not saying a word.

"Good, good, royal father will no longer care about your matters. As long as you – can live a good life, as long as you live a good life, then royal father will be satisfied." He looked at the Duke of Beichen, "Promise Imperial Father, at least you won't be injured anymore."

The Duke of Beichen only replied, "Father, I can only promise you that I will live well with little Nuo."

Hearing this, Bei Chenyan turned around, his facial expression unclear: "Sin, sin." The tone was bleak and weak.

The Duke of Beichen did not speak any further, and turned to leave.

In the empty main hall, a middle-aged man wearing a yellow robe suddenly aged by more than ten years under the cover of the night sky.

Under the night sky, everything had a sad color. It was quiet, pale, and endless.

Suddenly, a wisp of white appeared in the darkness, slowly walking over from afar.

The torture chamber guard suddenly became alert and asked, "Who is it?"

That person did not answer, but continued to walk over slowly. It was elegant and unhurried, but more of it was a natural solemn expression.

The guard's eyes widened in disbelief. "Third Marquis!"

The Duke of Beichang walked over, and lightly smiled at the guards, still carrying a bit of insouciance, seven parts flippancy. Then, his figure moved, and a silver-grey cold light shone on the guards' faces, followed by a spray of bright red blood.

Without waiting for the guards to react, Duke Bei Zhen's sword was already brandished in the air, and when the wind stopped, the guards all fell to the ground, blood flowing all over.

Duke Bei Chen threw the sword in his hand away, and pushed the door open.

The torture chamber was dark, except for the light of the moon. Under the dim light of the moon, Su Nuo could be seen covered in blood, hanging lifelessly in the air.

The Duke of Beichen walked over and broke the rope, causing Su Nuo to fall into his arms. The Duke of Beichen opened his arms, and gently held Su Nuo in his arms.

All actions were gentle, loving, and sad.

Su Nuo could feel her cold body wrapped up in a ball of warmth. That kind of feeling was so familiar, so familiar, Su Nuo struggled to open her eyes, she thought, that person was coming to pick her up, she wanted to open her eyes and look at that person again, that person's frivolous smile, that amorous eyes, she wanted to say, I'm sorry.

His eyes slowly opened, and what entered his line of sight was the snow-white Duke Bei Chen, his eyebrows were still as good-looking as before, much prettier than a girl. His unrestrained expression was gone, replaced by an unrelenting tenderness, deep, bottomless.

The corner of Su Nuo's lips curled up into a smile. This person was still so good-looking. It was just that this person was wearing a white robe and hid a deep sadness and loneliness. That was his true face.

In fact, this person's happiness because she had already disappeared, because she was sad and lonely!

The Duke of Beichen shouted carefully, "Little Nuo!"

When Su Nuo heard this, she raised her head slightly and gave him a gentle smile. That's right, this person had lost so many precious things because of her. As for herself, she couldn't give him what she wanted the most, but she could even give him such a simple smile. He really couldn't take it anymore.

A wave of exhaustion hit him. His eyelids started to feel heavy. Shen Jingbin slowly closed her eyes, but the smile on her face was directed at the Duke of Bei Chen. From beginning to end, it did not fade.

But … Why did this person come to find me after he died? Why did he come to find me after he died?

Su Nuo's consciousness also started to blur, and her vision once again sunk into darkness.

It was just that she thought, if there really was a reincarnation of the world, if there really was Grandma Meng's Elixir on the Bridge of Helplessness, then she would drink it. She would drink it, she would forget her beloved master, she would forget her feelings for her master that had already sprouted in her heart, she would not be able to save him. Then, in the next lifetime, she would definitely not fall in love with anyone.

Sure.

However, what Su Nuo did not know was that her life with Duke Bei Chen was not over yet, and what she owed Duke Bei Chen was only the beginning of this long journey through the world of mortals, not the beginning.

Only, how many years later, when that cruel scene took place in front of her, she finally regretted it. Why did she fall in love with Bei Chen Han? Why, why didn't she die in this night?

Why? But there was no answer. There was no answer.

It was just love, too much love, and then it was like this.

Just because of this.

However, when Su Nuo woke up, she certainly didn't expect it.

"Little Nuo, you've finally woken up." When Lord Bei Chen saw Su Nuo wake up, his pretty face was full of excitement. He then went close to Su Nuo's ear and said, "Xiao Nuo, when you were unconscious, you kept on yelling at me. So it turns out, Xiao Nuo likes me so much!"

Su Nuo opened his eyes and looked at the blue-robed Duke of Beichen, who was still smiling coquettishly like before. He was stunned for a moment, and stared straight at the man.

The Duke of Beichang turned his face away, showing a shy expression, "Little Nuo, I hate you. How can your eyes be so passionate? I am so embarrassed now."

"Are we in the sky?" Su Nuo asked.

The Duke of Beichen turned to look at Su Nuo, and suddenly laughed, "Little Nuo, do you think we're dead?"

Su Nuo blinked. "Isn't it?"

The scene from last night was still vivid in her mind. Lord Beichen, dressed in white, came to pick her up and let her go with him to the cycle of reincarnation!

Lord Bei Chen laughed, looking just like a child. He moved closer to Su Nuo and said, "Little Nuo, you are too cute. We are not dead yet." Pausing for a moment, he moved closer to Su Nuo's ear, "However, Xiao Nuo and I are currently eloping."

Su Nuo looked at Duke Bei Chen, then turned her head to look at the room she was in. The room was not luxurious, but very clean and warm, as if it were the usual home of a hundred people.

Suddenly, Su Nuo was stunned. Normally if someone from the Hundred Family's house died, they wouldn't be in this state, right? Then she really was still alive. Last night, this person didn't come to pick her up.

Thinking of this, Su Nuo sat up, staring straight at the Duke of Northern Chen.

In other words, this person was alive, alive, alive, real, and not — dead.

Su Nuo immediately threw herself at Duke Bei Chen, hugging him tightly, as if releasing this person was about to leave.

Lord Beichen was stunned for a moment, and then also hugged Su Nuo. His expression was so gentle that it looked like water was about to drip out of it. He only said, "Little Nuo, you are so passionate!"
