The cold winter had arrived, and the cold wind of Fringe Pass cut his face like a knife.

The last leaf in the courtyard had fallen today as well. The situation at the border gate was too tense. She only had two rooms in her small quadrangle courtyard. She and ghost and her own room would definitely not accommodate any more maids.

There was a charcoal fire in the room, and the doors and windows were only ajar.

Gu Liuyan had given up sleeping on the bed long ago. She only used two short mattresses that were as tall as a ankle to put together a lot of thick bedding. She slept beside the charcoal fire every day because she was afraid of the cold, but she was still curled up on the bed reading books, as she was afraid that someone would find a lot of books on underground water.

Gui Gui brought in the food box and said, "Qi Rou has already returned. Lai Xuan's city is fully prepared. The letter to the prince has also been sent back by the fourth prince. "

She gently closed the book in her hands, rubbed between her eyebrows and only pulled half a body out of the bedding, directly placing the food on the stool to eat. Her legs also felt a little sore, and she said: "Then I just need to wait for news from Gu Sheng and the Void Elder."

"Since there is nothing to do, why don't we make a trip back to Eldan? This year, His Highness the Crown Prince will be celebrating the New Year in Le City, which is located at the border. "

"Why are you in the city?" Gu Liuyan could not help but feel curious.

Although she had never been to the Lai City, she knew that there was a famous battle in the city. General Le was almost a god of the people at that time, so he changed his name to the city of Lai. Since then, no one was allowed to enter the city.

"Aldan is a good fighter. Every year, when the situation isn't good or when there is a great war, those who are in a higher position are not allowed to stay in the main city. And the Crown Prince has the intention to help with the war, so he just has to go to Le City and gather some troops." Ghosts truly deserved to be known as the best person in the world after following Qu Hao around for a period of time.

He thought for a while. Although it was easy to be exposed in front of his mother, it was still possible that he would be caught and taken care of …

However, it was a good thing that he could meet his father and mother.

"Unfortunately, I didn't bring Qingze over." She sighed softly and picked up her chopsticks while looking at the ghost, "If you go to Er Dan, you must not expose me. If you say so, I will immediately escape without a trace."

Ghost's eyelids jumped, and he said with a half smile, "Of course I'm on your side."

"I also sent a letter to the people of Blackwater Town." Gu Danyan said. As expected, he saw the ghost's face darken and walked in front of her: "Madam is your mother, she should know."

"If mother knew, she wouldn't have allowed me to do what I wanted to do." Gu Liuyan raised his head and looked at him: "Regardless of life or death, I don't have any regrets in my life. Now I just want to finish what I have to do. I believe that something will turn for me."

"But you even threatened me with Blackwater Town to let me know that you can really escape from under my nose." Phantom Demon squatted down and seriously looked at her, "Do you still remember our agreement?"

Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Gu Pingyan leaned over and gently hugged him, "Of course I remember. I'll be fine." But I'm still a girl, and I don't want anyone to see my ugly side. "

"Don't leave me behind." Ghosts sighed and held her shoulders.

"Then you should believe me." Gu Daiyan leaned on the side of his neck, but his eyes were clear.

Of course she would live, but that did not conflict with what she wanted to escape.

After a while, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. Compared to his best friend, Gu Liuyan felt that ghosts and ghosts were more like her own biological brothers.

It would be great if he didn't deceive her.

As they ate, the two of them discussed which path to take. After eating, Gu Pingyan finally broke free from his blanket and sat upright at the table, the brush in his hands continuing to move.

She was also unable to return to accompany him for the new year, nor was she by Duan Chengxuan's side.

He kept thinking about what he should write.

With this, he spread out a dozen or so pieces of paper, but was worried, so he made himself up and entered. In the middle of winter, he didn't forget to drag the busy Qi Rou who didn't even touch the ground to look around for interesting things. He only browsed until Qi Rou's forehead was covered in sweat, "That's enough, if I buy more, I won't even reach the Sky Flame on the first day of the new year."

Gu Danyan smiled at her while hugging the heavy stuff in her arms, "Old Master Qi is missing the two of you."

After being stunned for a moment, Qi Rou still followed Gu Danyan into the next store.

Even though her father treated her unfairly, he treated her kindly and raised her up. Now that her father had finally awakened to the fact that he could receive two or three letters home in less than a month, Qi Rou's heart felt warm.

As he left, he saw the sky was about to fill with falling snow.

Before she left, Gu Danyan stood in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the lines already covering her waist and abdomen. He was rather indifferent as he climbed up the carriage with his good clothes and asked Duan Chengyu, "You're not going to use the Heaven Flame?"

"Since Imperial Uncle told me not to go back, then naturally, I have something to do." Duan Chengyu shook his head and passed a wooden box to her. "This was sent over by Imperial Uncle with a horse as soon as possible. He said it should be more beautiful than the one you previously had."

Gu Daiyan was baffled. He took the box and opened it, then suddenly started chuckling.

"That's the only thing he can do. I'm afraid that he'll never be able to compare to the Sixth Prince in his entire life." Closing the wooden box, she climbed onto the carriage, smiled at Duan Chengyu, and said, "I wonder if we can wait for the wedding wine in the future."

Duan Chengyu suddenly blushed as even Qi Rou, who was standing beside him, stared at her with a slightly embarrassed look on his face. "Wait for a moment."

"Of course I'll wait. When the time comes, I still need to make a ruckus." Gu Liuyan smiled as she replied. She thought that the next time she would not be able to see Qi Rou, and based on Duan Chengyu's character, he would definitely not leave her in this dangerous place.

"Let's go." Qi Rou heaved a long sigh.

Only then did Gu Danyan climb onto the carriage, driving it like a ghost. He didn't forget to ask: "What did the Prince give you?"

"A bunch of them." Gu Daiyan looked helpless. He saw a jade carving of a kitten on a bracelet made from red string inside the wooden box, but it didn't look like it was the same. There was even a small word written on it – "The black cat under the tree has returned to its original owner."

At the back, there was even a crooked smile, as if it was something that Qingze had taught him.

Beneath the withered tree, she had once buried the thing that Duan Chengye had given her. It was just like when she was trapped in King Jing's Estate and was helpless, but there was also Duan Chengye who could have wished for it.

"When we return, we still have to thank the Sixth Prince properly." She smiled.

No one knew what would have happened to her if she hadn't had a few friends back then.

Today, it was fortunate that the lover was still the same as before, with a heart that hadn't died yet.
