Fifty miles of fragrant snow quietly withdrew from the forest and rushed back to the gambling den. She returned to her room through the window, only to discover that there was another person in black inside.

"It is very dangerous to go out alone in the middle of the night." The masked man in black's voice was hoarse, like a shadow dormant in the darkness.

Baili Yu Xue was stunned at first, then she casually walked over, her cape and hat slipping down as candle flame leapt onto her breathtaking face. She sat down and said coldly, "Don't you know it's annoying to just walk in and get someone else's room?"

"There's only a small difference between hating me and liking me. I believe that you will like me." The man in black sneered lightly, his tone was frivolous.

"..." "Scram!" The word echoed in the silent air.

The black-clothed man trembled before smiling, "I just wanted to tell you that I missed you." In the silence of the night, the man's voice sounded gentle and ambiguous.

The man in black stood up and leaned over to whisper in her ear, "I will worry if I don't return late at night."

The alarming wind swept past, and when everything returned to silence, only a hundred miles of fragrant snow remained in the room. Looking back, she saw a waning moon.

From the moment this man appeared, Baili Kuangxue had always had a restless feeling. This feeling caused her to be unable to sleep, all the way until the arrival of the next day.

The day's dream was always lively, and gamblers placed their bets in the birds' language. Chants and dances were playing, and a red silk cloth was flying down from the top of the stairs. The woman with the zither stepped on silk and came over. She landed on the high platform, turned around and sat down, and her clothes fluttered in the wind.

The gambling den immediately fell into silence. The man who was drinking was stunned by the woman, whose face was covered by a veil. The wine in his hand dripped onto the ground, splattering everywhere.

The woman wore a red dress with tassels, and her long hair fell down lightly. The woman fiddled with the zither strings and her fingers danced as she lightly strummed. The crisscrossing sounds transformed into the shadows of swords and sabers, and it was as if a large pearl or small pearl had landed on a jade plate. The zither notes were hurried, yet it was like a golden horse. In a peaceful moment, it was like a flower blooming. Grief, joy, love.

The song ended. Thunderous applause resounded throughout the gambling den.

The hundred li of fragrant snow lightly smiled, her veil fluttered, she hugged her zither and stood up, preparing to leave.

"Miss Qin Xue, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Come have a drink with us." The man who grabbed her hand on the platform was Chen Jidao of the Chen family. In the past few months, he had also attempted to court and was finally expelled from the gambling den. He didn't expect that he would dare to come here again today.

Chen Duo wanted to kiss the sweet snow, but the sweet snow pushed him back, and a shadow fell from the sky and onto the floor. The crowd burst into laughter, and Chen's servants wanted to come and take them away.

"Are you able to touch my woman?" Xie Zimo walked over from the crowd, coldly glancing at the Chen family members who wanted to capture him.

He leisurely stepped onto the stage, smiled at the fragrant snow, and appeared to be very light. He covered her face with a veil and kissed her lips.

Kui Xue trembled, only to see him turn around and say to the people below the stage, "Listen carefully, she is my, Xie Zimo's, people."

The people in the gambling house did not dare to offend Xie Zimo, they were all scared and did not dare to make a sound. When they came back to their senses, the people on the stage were already gone.

Xie Zimo carried Baili Kui Xue back to the room, and just as he put her down, a red five-fingered mountain appeared on his face. He did not get angry. He just closed the door and smiled elegantly, "You hurt me so much."

"I don't welcome beast dressed in clothes here." Kui Xue glared at him, then sat down at the tea table.

"I'm not a beast in disguise, I'm someone who likes you." Xie Zimo walked in front of her, smirking as he naughtily lifted her chin, "Are you angry?"

"Please leave!" Fifty miles of fragrant snow took a sip of tea, accentuating the jade carving of "please".

"Since you don't welcome me so much, I can only let go of you. In the future, I won't step foot into the gambling den again." Xie Zimo did not get angry, he turned around and left.

Baili Kui Xue slightly frowned, she suddenly remembered Lu Zixu's words. She couldn't let Xie Zimo leave like this, she had to borrow his help to enter the palace.

"Halt!" When Xie Zimo took three steps forward, Kui Xue called out to him.

Xie Zi Mo, who was facing away from her, paused for a moment. He smiled and said, "No way."

The sound of the door opening touched Baili Kui Xue's nerves. Instinctively, she went up and pushed the door shut with one palm.

"I wonder what you want?" Xie Zimo rubbed his chin, looking at her in interest.

"You said you were going to redeem me, is that true?" Although she didn't like this hedonistic son of a bitch in front of her, she still wanted to enter the palace to find her good sister.

Xie Zimo pouted, looking like a wronged wife, "Didn't you tell me to scram?"

"If you are willing to redeem me, I will go with you." Fuxue was embarrassed. She sat at the table and poured herself a cup of water.

Xie Zimo smiled, almost without hesitation, he said, "Alright, I'll come pick you up tomorrow."

He lowered his head and pecked her on the forehead, then left his room with a satisfied fan.

As expected, Xie Zimo ordered his family servant to carry the palanquin the next morning and come back to the gambling den to pick him up. He smiled like the spring breeze as he walked in front of the palanquin. He stopped in front of the door of the gambling den and then stepped into it. On the street, many people gathered around to watch the show. They watched as he picked up the card that brought him back to the gambling den, supported his slender hands, and sat down in the palanquin.

"What kind of person do you like?" Small sedan chair spacious and comfortable, covered with mink blanket, fragrant mist, heart and soul. Xie Zi Mo Tuo looked out the window at the fragrant snow from a hundred miles away.

"As for those who are sincere and able to be used." He replied casually.

"Oh? Do you think I'm one of them? " Xie Zimo continued to ask.

Kui Xue was silent, she did not want to discuss this sort of boring topic with him.

"A beauty like you shouldn't be staying in Dreamland gambling den for the sake of money, right?" After a while, Xie Zimo went straight to the point. "Actually, we all have our own motives. Shouldn't we be cherishing each other wholeheartedly and obtaining what we need from each other?"

Xie Zimo said lightly, but he had a profound feeling about him.

Kui Xue was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and said, "Alright, then we'll take what we need."

The limousine slowly stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Palace, and Kui Li and Xie Zimo walked out of the sedan chair and stood in front of the door.

The Stone Pi Xiu at the main entrance was tall and mighty. Upon entering, one could see a winding veranda, with pine trees and green bamboo growing all over the place. Looking up, one could see the jade decorations. Within the mansion, the roads were connected, the mountain rocks were decorated, and the scenery was magnificent. The mansion has a lotus pond, connected with the mountains and rivers, a pavilion, surrounding shade of green willow, birdsong and fragrant flowers, suitable for the cultivation of the year.

Xie Zimo brought Baili Kui Xue around the complex corridor and stopped in front of a building called the "Immortal Crane". He said, "From now on, you will live here." Xie Zimo had already ordered people to clean up the cranes, and was waiting to fetch the Hundred Miles of Snow.

Mo Juanxue strode towards the Immortal Crane House, no longer paying attention to the man who brought her here. Xie Zimo was also a sensible person, he saw that Baili Kui Xue did not want to bother with him, so he left by himself.

The highest floor was the third floor, and there were many books hidden inside. Fuxue had always loved to study books since she was young. She saw that there were a lot of documents here, so she stayed on the third floor for a long time.

A wasp flew in through a crack in the window and landed on the shoulder of the Hundred Miles of Snow. Fuxue put down the book in her hands and listened to the buzzing of the wasps. She nodded, frowned slightly, and watched the wasp fly away.

So Xie Zimo's background was not that simple. He was the crown prince of the first dynasty, and after the country was destroyed, the new emperor did not kill him to pacify the people. At that time, he was still young, so he wasn't a threat to the royal family. Thus, the late emperor had conferred him the title of Prime Minister, hoping that he would behave himself.

A cold wind blew past her ears, and a long needle nailed a small bag to the bookshelf behind her. She was startled and quickly turned around.

A black shadow leaped in through the window. On the windowsill not far away from her, it stood with the wind.

"I thought you were going to kill me." Kui Xue lightly glanced at him.

"I like you so much, why would I kill you?" The man in black sneered. With a low voice, he stood by the window and pointed at the bag. "It's a hairpin. It's for you."

Kui Xue did not open the letter to take a look, and only replied coldly, "You're so courteous?"

The man in black could not help but laugh. After a moment, he said, "Liuchuan, my name."

"Liuchuan?" Fifty miles of fragrant snow repeated his name.

"Why have you come to the Prime Minister's Estate?" Liuchuan faced the windowsill, standing in the moonlight.

"I'm looking for someone."

"I'm also looking for a person. That person is the current emperor, Lu Shaoheng. As for me, I want to kill him. " Liu Chuan continued speaking to himself, and only after a long while did he ask, "You're not asking me the reason?"

"If you want to say it, there's no need for me to ask. If you don't want to say it, why would I ask?"

Liuchuan sneered, one foot stepping on the window frame, he turned his head to look at Baili Qiuxue, "I'm leaving."

A shadow streaked across the sky, turning everything into silence.
