The intense pain briefly cleared Qing Qing's mind.

"Master, why?" She stared at Thirteen in disbelief. She simply couldn't believe that the person who had treated her with so much kindness and kindness would pull out a sword from her hands!

"Qing Qing, I'm sorry. Master has things that must be done. "

She used the sword to pull away from Qing Qing's body.

Blood splashed three steps away.

Thirteen expressionlessly sheathed his sword, not minding in the slightest as his blood splattered all over his body.

He turned and left.

Qing Qing's entire body was drained of strength. She wanted to shout out, but something seemed to block her throat.

He couldn't even make a sound.

Blood gushed from the wound in his abdomen.

She felt the pain slowly. She tried to press her hand down, but she couldn't bring herself to do so.

He could only look on helplessly as Thirteen stepped out the door, disappearing without a trace in a flash.

Blood splattered everywhere.

Blood flowed like a river.

When she came back, she only saw Qing Qing lying in a pool of blood, like a ruined rag doll …

Darkness.

Everything was silent and dark.

It was pitch black, and he couldn't even see his fingers in front of him.

There was no sound at all.

A gust of cold wind came from who knows where, causing her to shiver. She felt goosebumps all over her body.

The coldness penetrated her firm autumn clothes and seeped into her heart.

Xiao Ruyue's somewhat muddled consciousness had awoken in an instant.

~ This must be the Imperial Advisor's Mansion's secret message.

She fell down at the same time as Yuwen He, then where is Yuwen He?

She groped around, but found nothing. Empty, she tried to get up and walk two steps, but tripped over something and fell again without warning.

The moment she fell towards the ground, she used both of her hands to prop herself up, struggling to stand on the ground.

A faint smell of rot and blood entered her nostrils, making her cough.

She struggled to crawl away, to open her eyes and close them again. It was always a dark place with no light, so she gave up struggling and tightly hugged her arms. He just sat there and didn't dare to move.

The series of soft sounds echoed in his ears, making this place seem very empty.

Soon, another voice rang out:

"Elder Sister Xiao?"

The familiar magnetic voice slowly penetrated his ears, like a warm current.

Xiao Ruyue was slightly startled, and confirmed: that was Yuwen He's voice alone.

"Your Majesty, is that you?"

"It's me."

That low and gentle voice sounded again, and it was already very close.

Xiao Ruyue was greatly encouraged, both her hands reaching forward in the pitch darkness.

Suddenly, he felt a soft touch.

Like Yuwen He's slightly thin palm.

In the instant she hesitated, a pair of large palms gripped her arms. She was carried forward and slammed into a familiar embrace.

What was lingering in his nose was indeed his breath.

She knew him best, and he smelled of herbs and faint male musk.

He held her for a long time, like a treasure he had recovered from a loss.

For a long time she could not recover her wits.

In the darkness, a pair of large palms carefully caressed her face, then carefully caressed her body, saying that it was caress, more like checking to see if there were any wounds on her body.

His movements could not be any lighter. It was almost as if he was tiptoeing, as if he was holding a precious treasure. He was afraid that if he let go, it would break, and even more afraid that if he tried to use a bit more force, it would shatter.

Xiao Ruyue did not dodge, nor did she make a sound, and only allowed his big palm to flow around her body.

After a long while, he couldn't find a single wound on her body, so he let out a heavy sigh —

"Elder Sister Xiao!"

"It's good that you're fine."

This sigh seemed to expend all the strength in his body.

Xiao Ruyue's heart was about to pinch.

"Yuwen He."

Her hands groped in the darkness, feeling for his broad chest, his fine collarbone, his fine neck.

He accidentally touched the protruding adam's apple on his throat.

He was used to seeing them on a daily basis, yet when he touched them in the dark, they seemed to have come to a new understanding.

Yuwen He groaned, his voice turned hoarse, "Elder Sister Xiao, although we can't see anything here, you can't take the opportunity to tease us."

Xiao Ruyue's face was hot, and she suddenly retracted her hand.

Who knew that she would immediately hear his evil grin. Xiao Ruyue flew into a rage out of embarrassment and recklessly hit him with a punch, when she suddenly heard Yuwen He wailing miserably. She was so scared that her entire body turned into a mess as she searched around his body, "Are you alright? Where did I call you? "Where is the pain?"

"It's fine, I'm fine."

Yuwen He's voice sounded in her ears, the hot air flowing in her ears, all of the pores on his body opened up.

A pair of small hands without any pattern fell into his warm palms. He exerted a little strength, and held her in his arms.

"I'm just teasing you. It's not painful at all."

He tightened his grip on her cold hand and muttered, "Your hand is so cold. Is it cold here?"

Xiao Ruyue didn't know what to say at this moment.

He mumbled angrily, "What kind of nonsense is this!"

He wanted to get angry, but he couldn't get angry.

He would tease her, but because he was afraid that she would be scared if she fell into this dark place, he desperately tried to make her relax.

How could she not know?

"Yes, if Elder Sister Xiao says so, then it's what it is. Next time, I won't mess around."

Yuwen He giggled as he accepted, but he still held onto her hand tightly.

Although Xiao Ruyue could not see what kind of expression he had, but based on her understanding of him, she could still imagine what kind of expression he had.

Thus, he no longer spoke.

The two of them were naturally warmer than the other. Hearing the sound of his heartbeat, her heart calmed down a lot.

"Can you still move? We stand up and try to get out of here. "

In the darkness, Yuwen He asked her. Xiao Ruyue nodded and placed his hands on Yuwen He's waist, almost touching his body. Yuwen He also wrapped a hand around her waist, pasting her onto his body to the greatest extent.

He couldn't see in the dark, so he didn't feel safe at all. That was probably the safest way.

Yuwen He helped her to stand up, but it was as if his other hand had groped onto a wall, as he cautiously said to Xiao Ruyue, "Follow me, and don't move recklessly."

Xiao Ruyue quickly said good, and did not dare to let go of his hand.

She could not even see from here, she must not give Yuwen He anymore trouble.

Right now, the most important thing was to survive.

They fell into the Imperial Advisor's Mansion's mechanisms, and the person who set them up was Yuwen Jue.

Only by taking precautions and being cautious would it be possible for him to leave this place alive.

Yuwen He took one step, two steps, her footsteps moved next to his feet, one step, two steps.

They should be walking along the wall, but as they walked slowly, Xiao Ruyue was afraid that she might lose her focus and hold her breath, not even daring to breathe.

The air here smelled of moisture and decay, causing one to feel extremely uncomfortable.

There was also the faint smell of blood, which also made people uncomfortable.

The Jade Silkworm Gu in his arms was ready to make a move, this was the second time the fat insect had made a move in such a long time. The last time it had made a sound, it had stuck its head out of the cocoon.

But now, it was not convenient for Xiao Ruyue to take the cold jade box, so she muttered: "Wait till I go out to see you, don't cause trouble."

The Jade Silkworm Gu in cold jade box quieted down.

Yuwen He was close to Xiao Ruyue, so he could naturally hear her muttering, and a low chuckle came out of her throat, "Elder Sister Xiao is truly worthy of being called a rich and powerful being, to be able to meet a lucky end in a dangerous situation."

"Then I'll have to thank Your Majesty for her words." Xiao Ruyue did not bother to be courteous with him and agreed generously.

She kept having the feeling that Yuwen He did not seem to be panicked in the slightest within the darkness.

Just like he could see.

as if you could see something

same

Xiao Ruyue was startled, then suddenly recalled the series of events that just happened.

There was something fishy about the details.

Could Yuwen He be him?!

Xiao Ruyue was frightened by her own thoughts, and accidentally touched Yuwen He's waist, and found a round tube.

Was that her fire piston?

Why didn't he use a fire piston in such a dark place? Was it really like that?

Xiao Ruyue's thoughts became even stronger, her hand feeling around Yuwen He's waist, just as she was about to take out the fire piston, she felt a warm grip on his waist.

"You, you saw it."

The tone was an affirmative statement, not a question.

Xiao Ruyue made her judgement almost immediately.

Yuwen He laughed, "It can't be hidden from the Elder Sister Xiao's sharp eyes."

"Yes, I can see it."

It was so dark that he could see. Could it really be that something was wrong with her eyes?

Xiao Ruyue was frightened by this thought, and her face immediately turned white.

"Am I?"

"No, you're fine. Your eyes are fine. " Yuwen He could already see her worry, so he quickly took out a fire piston and stuffed it into her hands, "You can't light the fire here, I'll explain it to you when we get out."

"Use the fire piston again later."

Xiao Ruyue had no other choice but to say, "Alright." She then obediently moved forward one step at a time.

After half a day of effort, she felt that after a very long time, Yuwen He had suddenly picked her up and took a big step, as if he had entered a new space.

The old rotten smell was gone, and the smell of blood was almost gone.

Just as his legs touched the ground, Xiao Ruyue felt that his hands had suddenly become empty. Followed by a ripping sound, the flames started to light up.

Before the light touched her pupils, a large palm covered her eyes.

A deep, magnetic male voice whispered in her ear, "Now close your eyes and slowly open them."

Xiao Ruyue did as she was told, and only then did she move away from the palm that covered half of her face.

She slowly opened her eyes. The light from the fire piston illuminated the darkness, but the light around her wasn't just from the fire piston.

There were many oil lamps burning on the wall. The sound of the flames was very loud. It was likely that all of the oil lamps had been lit at the same time.

It was unknown where the wind had come from, but it caused the lights to sway and the shadows to sway.

Xiao Ruyue subconsciously wanted to look at the path she had taken when she first arrived. When she turned around, he saw that under the illumination of the flames, there was an extremely deep pit behind him.

She suddenly thought of her fall. That rotten smell choked her throat. She was afraid that if she fell, she would fall down to the bodies of those dead people …
