He endured the pain in his heart and attacked more fiercely. It was no wonder that Tuoba Xiao stayed closely with Liu Qiaoer throughout the journey.
However, Liu Qiaoer didn't quite believe him.
"What kind of poison is this? Find an antidote quickly. If you can't cure it, either you die or I die."
Liu Qiaoer couldn't bear it anymore.
Tuoba Xiao didn't say anything, but he could hear a slight snoring sound.
Liu Qiaoer didn't dare to move. At this moment, she missed her space especially.
I fell asleep without realizing it.
That night, she had a strange dream.
In her dream, she returned to the end of the world. The living conditions on earth had become extremely bad, so she returned to her home underground.
As soon as the vent cover was put on, alien creatures began walking around on it.
Liu Qiaoer didn't dare to breathe and held the iron rod tightly against it. After about ten minutes, the alien creatures finally left.
And these ten minutes seemed like a lifetime.
Liu Qiaoer returned to the room and wanted to get food from the space, but suddenly found that the space bracelet was missing.
I don’t know if she was conscious or not, but she didn’t get nervous. She opened the refrigerator to get something to drink and turned on the TV at the same time.
There was a show on TV, and it was Lu Yunzheng.
In the Zhenbei General's Mansion, Lu Yunzheng and Princess Mingxin had a fierce argument.
Lu Yunzheng has clearly told Princess Mingxin that he will not marry her.
Princess Mingxin cried and asked if he was the one who poisoned General Zhenbei.
Lu Yunzheng explained that he was not that despicable. During the argument, Princess Mingxin stabbed Lu Yunzheng in the shoulder with a sword.
Everyone exclaimed and pulled the two people apart. The doctor began to treat Lu Yunzheng, while Lu Yunzheng had Princess Mingxin locked in the room.
General Zhenbei's health was really not good. Lu Yunzheng wrote a letter to tell Tutor Lu. The prince received the letter and asked Lu Yunzheng to replace General Zhenbei.
At the same time, Lu Yunzheng received a letter from Zhao Ziyu, asking him to keep his troops in place and save General Zhenbei from death.
Therefore, Lu Yunzheng knew that he could not control the General Zhenbei by himself, and if the north was unstable, the Great Zhou would be in danger.
After Lu Yunzheng had the bandage done, he silently touched the bracelet Liu Qiaoer had given him, feeling very worried.
"Qiao'er, where on earth are you?"
Liu Qiaoer woke up crying and opened her eyes.
In a trance, I didn’t know whether I was in the end of the world or in ancient times.
The north wind was howling outside the window, and even with the charcoal fire in the post station it was not very warm. Liu Qiaoer found herself curled up in Tuoba Xiao's arms.
She looked up with dazed eyes and met Tuoba Xiao's affectionate eyes.
Liu Qiaoer felt as if she was bewitched and her heart was beating wildly.
It was as if there were only the two of them left in the whole world, and everyone else no longer existed. It was quiet and their minds were blank.
"Tell me what you dreamed about that made you so sad."
Tuoba Xiao had just woken up, and his low, bubbly voice fascinated Liu Qiaoer.
Suddenly thinking of Lu Yunzheng, Liu Qiaoer pushed Tuoba Xiao away, her face flushed.
"What I dreamed about has nothing to do with you. Get up when you wake up. It's too cold here. We have to hurry."
Tuoba Xiao chuckled: "It is indeed a bit cold, but I won't feel cold when I hold you."
Liu Qiao'er didn't dare to look at Tuoba Xiao, she just felt ashamed.
Tuoba Xiao did not return to Qiangdu, but only lived in Liangcheng, the southernmost city of Northern Qiang.
The delegation had to celebrate the New Year and also go to Da Zhou. It would be too troublesome to go back and forth. Moreover, many of the members of the delegation this time were not from the Ministry of Rites.
Tuoba Xiao asked the Sixth Prince to organize the real delegation members, and wait until after the New Year to meet him in Liangcheng, and then go to Da Zhou together.
The winter in Liangcheng is very cold. Liu Qiaoer has never known winter to be so cold. It is so cold that she wants to get into the fire as soon as she goes out.
She sat on the kang because it was cold and was unwilling to get off unless it was absolutely necessary.
Tuoba Xiao was half lying on the kang to accompany her. There were melon seeds and nuts on the table. He peeled a full plate and pushed it in front of Liu Qiaoer opposite.
Liu Qiaoer just took a look and didn't eat it.
Tuoba Xiao got annoyed and just ate by himself.
Seeing that Liu Qiaoer was just drinking hot tea, he suddenly seemed to have thought of a fun idea. He smiled mischievously and actually put all the melon seeds in the teacup.
When Liu Qiaoer reached out to take the tea to drink, she drank the melon seeds he had peeled.
Liu Qiao'er was speechless: "How old are you? Are you childish?"
Tuoba Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Don't you think it's good to live like this every day? I feel like the years are peaceful and quiet."
I really don't think so. Liu Qiaoer just wants to leave here and return to Lu Yunzheng. She doesn't know what the situation in Mobei is.
It's really hard to empathize with others.
Seeing that Liu Qiao'er didn't respond, Tuoba Xiao got a little annoyed and threw the melon seeds into the plate, saying, "Spoiling the fun, today is New Year's Eve. I wanted to take you to set off the fireworks, but forget it, I'll go by myself."
New Year’s Eve, it’s another New Year’s Eve.
Liu Qiaoer looked at the snowflakes outside the window and said quietly, "I want to eat hot pot."
Every New Year’s Eve, Liu Qiaoer would spend it with Lu Yunzheng.
No matter how late Lu Yunzheng is, the two of them can always be together, eating hot pot, drinking wine, and chatting.
There were the most people on the first year’s New Year’s Eve, but there were fewer and fewer people in the following years. Gradually, Liu Qiaoer was the only one left.
I don’t have much appetite without someone I like.
No one knew where Tuoba Xiao had gone. Liu Qiaoer, wearing a cloak, finally got down from the warm kang and stood in front of the window, her eyes filled with the white scenery.
"Pah" Suddenly, a small stone hit the window sill. Liu Qiaoer was startled by the noise. She looked around, fearing that there might be another assassin, and was about to close the window.
"Qiao'er, it's me."
Liu Qiaoer looked carefully in the direction of the sound and saw a snow-white person squatting on a big tree behind the house.
Wearing a thick hat and a white cloak, he squatted on the tree. If you have poor eyesight, you might think it was just a big tree.
Unexpectedly, it was a person.
“You, who are you?”
"Du Zixu, I'm Du Zixu."
But the person in front of him was completely different from the previous Du Zixu.
Considering that the former Du Zixu was already dead, could it be possible that this guy traveled back in time and came back again
"You, you are really back?"
Du Zixu jumped down from the tree. Liu Qiaoer found a rope and gave it to him, then pulled him into the room.
After taking off his hat and cloak, Du Zixu's fingers became stiff from the cold.
"I'm freezing. Why is it so cold?"
Liu Qiaoer opened the door and looked around. Perhaps Tuoba Xiao knew that Liu Qiaoer could not escape, because there were only maids and few guards in the yard.
But she was still very worried because Tuoba Xiao might come back at any time.
Unexpectedly, Du Zixu said, "Don't look at him. He is entangled with a woman and can't come back for the time being. I came to see you today for two main things."
"First, history has been changed a little. Northern Qiang became independent and did not become a vassal state of the Great Zhou. After the Great Zhou unified other places, it fought a war with Northern Qiang for more than 50 years, and only later did it reconquer Northern Qiang."
"Second, you have to go back to the Great Zhou immediately. Zhao Ziyu is in danger. If you don't save him, no one will be able to unify the Great Zhou, and the world will be in chaos."
Liu Qiaoer was shocked: "Zhao Ziyu? Prince Yi? How could he be in danger?"
"The Poison God's disciple followed Tuoba Xiao's orders to poison Zhao Ziyu."
