When Kui Xue woke up again, she was already in the Immortal Crane Restaurant. In her room, other than her, there was another man dressed in black. The man sat on the edge of the windowsill and looked at the distant sky.
"I found this in the woods. It should be yours." Liuchuan threw a jade bottle to Baili Kuangxue.
"Thank you." "Thank you so much." Baili Xiang Xue received the jade bottle and thanked him.
After a while, Baili Kui Xue asked again, "What kind of medicine did you drug Xie Zi Mo with?"
"It's just a camouflage medicine, you're so nervous." "You like him?"
Kui Xue didn't want to answer this kind of boring question, so she asked, "Do you like him a bit more, or like me a little more?"
"I don't want to answer meaningless questions."
"A lot of questions are meaningless, but the person asking them wants to know the answer." Liu Chuan walked closer to the fragrant snow, and a low, hoarse fake voice filled her ears. Knocking sounds came from the door, and Kui Xue glanced in the direction of the door. When she came back to her senses, Liuchuan had already left.
The one who came in was Yu Xuan. She had changed into the mansion's servants' clothes. She seemed to be quite mischievous, but the mischievous feeling was also related to the smile on his face.
"Elder sister, are you feeling better? The Prime Minister said you're sick. "
"I'm much better." The fragrant snow replied.
Yu Xuan blinked her bright eyes, revealing her two canines as she quietly asked, "Big sister, when do you and the Prime Minister plan to get married?"
"…" That bored Xie Zimo must have said something strange to them before Yu Xuan came over to ask such an embarrassing question.
"Where's Xie Zimo?" Yu Xuan scratched her head and pointed in the direction of the water bridge.
Atop the bridge.
Xie Zimo's silver-gray robe fluttered in the wind. He looked at the lotus pond in the distance, two strands of hair hanging down, floating in front of his eyes. His eyes were like torches, and his features were deep. His face was carved with domination and tenderness. The innate manliness was hidden in that cynical leather bag.
He was the one, the unfathomable one.
The fragrant snow of the hundred li was slowly walking up the bridge, the blue dress meandering past every stone staircase. She stopped beside Xie Zimo, following his line of sight and looking into the distance. In the pavilion in the distance, there was a huge bustling scene. Xie Zimo actually didn't belong here. He seemed to have everything, but it was as if he had nothing. The higher he stood, the more he realized how small he was and the more empty he felt.
"In this world, the only things that can trap a person are hatred and emotion." Xie Zimo opened his mouth slowly, "Hatred imprison the body, feeling imprison the soul."
He was trapped in the Prime Minister's Estate because of his hatred towards his country, and his feelings for his mother trapped him in a palace that could never be restored.
"Look at the clouds in the sky. They seem to be free, but they are still restricted by the sky." "The so-called restriction is just a kind of price that must be paid."
"Fragrant Snow, I sometimes think that we are actually very similar. Why don't we travel in the four seas together?" Xie Zimo smiled, foolishly looking at Kui Xue's clean face.
"Being able to put aside everything and travel in the four seas is also a good thing." Baili Xiang Xue lowered her eyes, as if she was imagining that day. She suddenly turned her head and tiptoed, kissing Xie Zimo on the lips.
Xie Zimo was stunned and at a loss.
"If you take the initiative, I won't be able to control you." He smiled and looked at his lips that were slowly moving away.
"You saved my life. This is the reward." Fifty miles of fragrant snow looked away, not looking at Xie Zimo.
"Then I hope that the next time, it will be with my body." Xie Zimo smiled frivolously, and then the two of them did not speak. They just stood on the bridge quietly, staring at the clouds that floated in the distance.
A few days later, the Han palace sent a group of bandits to the Prime Minister's estate, saying that they were here to ensure the safety of the crown prince. Xie Zimo could only accept their kind intentions, so he asked Butler Xu to arrange for them to go to the kitchen to do odd jobs.
After finding the Han palace general, Xie Zimo was ready to go to the Anduan Kingdom to discuss the matter of the alliance with the king of the Anduan Kingdom. This time, in order to prevent himself from being suspected by Lu Shaoheng, he let others put on his appearance and stayed in the mansion.
There was a carriage parked outside the back door. Fifty kilometers of fragrant snow was already waiting for him inside the carriage. Seeing him lift up the curtain and enter, she only gave him a glance. The carriage went around the alley and left the country of Liu by another road.
"Sweet Snow, can you play a song for me?" Xie Zimo looked at the zither in the palanquin, his eyes filled with anticipation, looking at the blue dress of Baili Yu Xue.
Kui Xue did not answer him, but carried the zither over and placed it on her legs. The melodious sound of the zither floated leisurely in the silent air, like a blossoming red lotus. The euphemistic notes suddenly rose and fell like beads falling on a jade plate. Slowly, it became calm again, peaceful and melodious. When it came to an end, it was like a sound of silk being torn and retracted with a crisp sound.
Xie Zimo was lying on his pillow with his arm against the blanket, looking at the fragrant snow, but as he listened, he fell asleep without any precautions, like a child. Baili Xiang Xue put down her harp and covered him with a cloak. Then she looked outside the curtain at the scene of transformation. It was a vast grassland, very similar to the place where she used to live. When the wind blew past, it left the grass and rose continuously.
As time went on, the blue sky became orange, and the orange became black again. The fragrant snow leaned against the walls of the carriage and slowly closed her eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, a cold breeze blew in from outside the curtain. Fifty miles away, Kui Xue opened her eyes subconsciously and found that the carriage had stopped, and Xie Zimo was not in the carriage. She sat up, and her cloak slowly fell off her body.
"Xie Zimo?" She called out Xie Zimo's name, lifted the curtain and looked outside. The scenery outside was no longer the grassland at night, but the bustling market during the day. The carriage stopped by an inn. The coachman was no longer there.
Just as Kui Xue was about to walk out to find Xie Zimo, a bag of meat buns suddenly appeared in front of her.
"You're awake?" Xie Zimo smiled as he got into the car. "Eat the buns."
Fifty kilometers of fragrant snow took the hot steamed bun, while Xie Zimo personally drove the horse carriage towards the Anduo Kingdom's imperial palace.
Xie Zimo, who was driving the car, was stopped by a guard at the entrance of the palace.
"Who are you?"
"Give this to your king." Xie Zimo tossed a jade pendant to the doorman.
The guard took the jade pendant and went in to report. Not long after, the King of Anduo personally went out to receive them, bringing Xie Zimo and Baili Xueyi into the palace.
In his bedroom, Bai Sheng stroked the jade pendant and sighed deeply. "This is Shuang'er's jade pendant. Why is it in your hands?"
Xie Zimo sighed and told the news of Zi Shuang's death to Brashen.
"You've gone too far. My daughter is still a princess after all. She actually died in the palace. I will definitely take revenge!" Brashen slammed the table, furious.
"The reason why I'm here this time is to discuss about the alliance with you." Xie Zimo revealed the purpose of his visit. He hoped that Anduo would become his ally and lend him a hand when he needed it.
Brashen fell silent about the alliance. Although Anduo had a feud with Liu, she had always kept to herself. If they were to offend the powerful Liu Province because of a princess, they might end up asking for trouble.
"Let me think about it for a few days." Brashen rubbed his temples.
Xie Zimo didn't say anything else, and was led by a palace maid to a guest room for the time being.
