When we arrived at the top of the mountain, it was already dusk. Smoke was rising from the kitchens in the courtyard with pink walls and golden doors. Several children were sweeping the snow in the courtyard.
Zizhuo told Xiaotong that she wanted to see the miracle doctor. Xiaotong seemed to know her and did not embarrass her. He quickly went to report the matter.
Doctor Yun was an old man with gray hair and a childlike face. He was very surprised when he saw her. The first thing he said was, "Huh? Why is the girl here? But the toxins in her body have not been resolved yet? It doesn't make sense. Didn't the emperor cultivate the poison in the girl? Poison?"
Zizhuo was stunned.
Did Leng Qisu also cultivate Gu insects for her
While she was speechless, the miracle doctor had already checked her pulse.
She came back to her senses and smiled, "Thank you to the doctor, I'm fine."
"Yeah! That's good!" The miracle doctor nodded and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, are you alone, girl? Why isn't Feng Xiaochen with you?"
Feng Xiaochen? !
Hearing this name, Zizhuo became confused again.
I heard Linglong and Leng Qisu talking about this person that day. Does he also have a deep relationship with me
Normally, she would have asked more questions, but now, all she could think about was finding Leng Qisu as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, is he here with the miracle doctor?"
Divine Doctor Yun's eyes flashed slightly, and then he looked stunned again, "He's not here! He hasn't been here since the last time he cultivated Gu worms for the girl. It's been several months. What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Not here
Zizhuo's heart sank, and the little hope that had supported her all the way up the mountain was completely shattered.
He had lost so much blood and was so eaten away by Gu insects, where could he go
**********************
Although the miracle doctor repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, Zizhuo still went down the mountain overnight.
Since Leng Qisu was not here, she couldn't stay any longer. She had to find him as soon as possible.
She couldn't even think about what was happening to him now
She was afraid, she was afraid that just as Lu Ping said, his internal organs and heart would be damaged.
If that were the case, how could he survive
Leng Qisu, where are you
*
A few days later, she arrived at Yanbo Town.
I heard from Eleven that this was the place where she had good memories with Leng Qisu. Of course, Eleven didn't say that it was also the place where she jumped off the cliff with heartbreak.
According to what Eleven wrote, she found Haoke Lai Inn.
When the innkeeper saw her, he looked like he had seen a ghost. He was so frightened that the abacus in his hand dropped to the ground, "You..."
It took you a long time to finish the sentence, "Are you still alive?"
Zizhuo frowned and asked angrily, "Should I die?"
"No... no" the shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, "We heard about it too."
A piece of silver was placed heavily in front of him. Zizhuo slowly narrowed his eyes and said, "To tell you the truth, I have forgotten everything in the past. Please speak clearly!"
The shopkeeper was a little hesitant, looked at the money, thought about it again, and then spoke.
"Now, that was last fall. Originally, places like the inn were full of people coming and going, and we couldn't remember many faces. But as soon as you came, you booked the entire inn, and everyone showed up respectfully. You are noble and have an unusual temperament for ordinary people, especially the one among you who is so handsome that he looks like a big shot at first sight, so I still remember it vividly. One day, that gentleman was covered in blood and injuries. He was carried back to the inn, and he had passed out. We also heard that it seemed that it was because... because, girl, you jumped off the cliff of the back mountain, and he jumped too, so he was injured like this. Later, Many people came, including the imperial doctor from the palace. He was in a coma for seven days before he woke up. But when he woke up, he heard that you were dead, and he started not eating, drinking, or sleeping. At that time, we didn’t wake up either. If he dared to come close, he peeked outside and saw people kneeling on the floor in the room, all of them keeping silent with him. After a few days, they finally checked out of the store and left..."
Zizhuo listened quietly. Although she had heard about these things intermittently, she still felt shocked when she heard them like this.
"Has that man been here these days?"
"Who is that?" The man in charge shook his head, "No!"
"If you think about it again, maybe there are so many people and you forgot."
"I remember everything last year so carefully, how could I not recognize him? He really has never been here!"
Have you really never been here
Zizhuo felt a chill in his heart. Eleven said that the most likely places were Mantuo Mountain and here, but he was not there.
At this time, it was noon, and there were many people coming in and out of the inn. The counter was next to the door, and people kept walking past Zizhuo.
As the clothes were lightly brushed, a faint scent of ambergris suddenly lingered.
This breath
It's him!
Zizhuo's pupils shrank and he turned his head sharply.
She saw a few men walking out of the door, and she quickly chased them out, her heart beating wildly uncontrollably.
Ignoring the surprised expressions of several people, she stopped in front of them and looked over one by one.
No, no, none of that!
Is it my own illusion
She obviously smelled it, it was so familiar, so real.
Still unwilling to give up, she approached a few people without any scruples and sniffed hard.
There was no ambergris, no scent that belonged to that man.
It seems that he is really stunned.
She smiled bitterly and shook her head, blushing and apologizing to a few people.
**********************
For some unknown reason, she finally decided to stay in this inn first.
She asked the shopkeeper for the wing room where Leng Qi once stayed.
Lying on her back, looking at the white tent ceiling, she thought about that man.
He had stayed in this wing and slept on this bed, but as people came and went, there was no breath of him anymore.
Where is he
Walking slowly alone in the backyard of the inn, she couldn't express her feelings.
There are several towering trees in the backyard. Due to the severe winter, there are no leaves left, only the bare trunks and branches are left.
I heard from Shiyi that during the days in Yanbo Town, they went shopping during the day, and at night everyone would sit around under the tree in the inn yard, making a pot of tea, while Meng Ruxue sang and she danced.
She is Zizhuo and has no memory of Mo Shuang.
She didn't know what the situation was like at that time.
Since you are so happy? Why do you want to jump off the cliff again
There is also a lake in the backyard. The lake is covered with thin ice, which is crystal clear and melts little by little in the sun.
She stood quietly by the lake, blowing the cool lake breeze, hoping that she could remember some things from the past.
Shiyi said that that night, she took off her shoes by the lake and the person walked away. Leng Qisu thought she had fallen into the lake, so he jumped into the lake to find her without hesitation, regardless of his serious injuries.
Thinking of Eleven's words, she curled her lips. Even though she had no memory, she felt warm in her heart.
Suddenly a crazy idea came to my mind.
If, if she really falls now, will he come out
Will he suddenly come out
Think this way, then do this.
She slowly took off her cloak, took off her shoes, and tried to step lightly on the thin ice on the lake with her feet wearing only cloth socks. Before she put much effort, the ice broke with a "click", and below was Cold lake water.
She shuddered, gritted her teeth to hold back, and was about to get down with both feet. Suddenly, her arms were heavy, and someone grabbed her from behind.
Her breath froze, and she turned around in surprise.
is it him
The eyes that had just ignited dimmed instantly.
It turned out to be the waiter at the inn.
He frowned and looked at her in confusion, "It's such a cold day, what is the girl doing?"
"Nothing!" Zizhuo returned to the lake, put on his boots, bent down to pick up the cloak on the ground, and smiled at the waiter, "I just want to see how thick the ice is."
She is truly crazy.
That person wasn't here, so she thought of trying this method. What if she wasn't crazy
"Excuse me, little brother, how to get to the back mountain?"
The shopkeeper said that she jumped from the cliff of the back mountain.
"You can see it if you keep walking along this road." The waiter pointed to a road paved with pebbles by the lake and said.
"Thank you!"
Zizhuo nodded and walked forward along the gravel road.
The waiter also turned around and walked into the inn. After walking for a while, he suddenly remembered, what was she doing in the back mountain
Just now, a man informed him that someone wanted to jump into the lake in the backyard, so he rushed over. Could it be that she wanted to jump off the cliff? But it doesn’t look like she’s asking for suicide, right
At this time, another waiter ran over, "Aniu, why did you come to the backyard? The shopkeeper is looking for you!"
"Oh!" He didn't think much and walked quickly to the front hall.
******************
There was still unmelted snow on the mountain in the backyard. Although it was not as difficult to climb as Mount Mantuo, it still took Zizhuo nearly two hours to climb to the top.
She didn't expect that behind an inn there was such a unique cave, with lakes, mountains, and cliffs.
Standing on the edge of the cliff, she looked down at the broken wall and gasped.
It's really bottomless.
No wonder she lost her memory, no wonder he was in a coma for seven days. It was lucky that he didn't die after falling from such a height.
What happened that day that could make her keep her heart beating to death
In a strange place, she couldn't pick up the memories she left behind.
Pursing her lips, she turned around. No matter what happened before, she only knew that now, she was very afraid of this height.
Unexpectedly, her feet suddenly slipped and her whole body fell backwards.
Her heart suddenly tightened. Behind her was the cliff...
Terrified, she stretched out her hand to grab but couldn't catch anything. Without Mo Shuang's memory, her kung fu was sometimes there and sometimes not.
She wanted to raise her Qi to perform Qing Gong, but she didn't know how to raise her Qi.
Powerless fear filled her heart, and she was so scared that she closed her eyes.
Suddenly, her waist tightened suddenly, and before she could even realize what was going on, she only felt the world spinning.
She quickly opened her eyes, and in the flash of lightning, she saw a white shadow flashing in front of her eyes, very fast.
She didn't even see the white shadow clearly. She didn't know whether it was a human or a fox, but the white shadow had long since disappeared.
When she looked away, she realized that she had landed safely on a large rock on the edge of the cliff, with a white brocade belt tightly wrapped around her waist.
The ribbon of the gorgeous robe
The brocade belt of a man's robe
Did that person use this brocade belt to pull her up
Her pupils narrowed and her heart beat rapidly.
She looked around, and there was no sign of anyone anywhere.
Everything was completely silent. If the ribbon in her hand hadn't really existed, she would have thought that what happened just now was just a dream.
How could there be anyone on this inaccessible mountaintop
Why did that person leave in a hurry after saving her
is it him
She held the brocade ribbon in her hand and gently brought it to the tip of her nose, feeling a faint, vague scent of ambergris lingering.
It's him!
That's his breath!
She stood up suddenly, her heart pounding, as if it was about to jump out of her chest, surging uncontrollably.
"Is that you?" She looked around.
"Leng Qisu, is that you?"
There was silence all around, except for his own voice and the empty echo, there was no sound.
"It's you! I know it's you!" She turned around in circles, searching her surroundings eagerly with her big eyes, "Leng Qisu, I know it's you! Come out!"
The only answers she received were her own echo and the occasional sound of the wind.
Is it really my own illusion
No, it's impossible. How could this ribbon be an illusion? It was him, it must be him, she had the feeling that he was nearby, watching her from a place she couldn't see.
Why didn't he see her
Are you blaming her
Tears flowed out silently. With red eyes, she rushed into the dense forest like crazy, searching tree by tree, leaving no place to hide. She was choking while searching, even scratching the branches. Her dress was torn and her arms were torn, but she didn't care.
"Leng Qisu... come out... come out!"
"It's my fault, it's all my fault, I misunderstood you! Come out! Don't you want your Mo Shuang? Don't you want her?"
"Leng Qisu, are you still a man? If you are a man, don't run away. If anything happens, we will face it together! Come out, come out!"
"Come out... Leng Qisu... come out!"
She didn't know how long she had been searching. She only knew that she had searched the top of the mountain all over. She only knew that she was tired of searching, tired of shouting, and tired of crying.
The man still didn't show up.
You're really determined, aren't you
****************
It was early morning a few days later when Zizhuo returned to Nanxuan's palace.
At that time, the eleventh and the civil and military officials were attending court.
She didn't settle down well, so she hurried straight to the Jinluan Palace where they went to court.
The eunuch at the entrance of the palace stopped her because it was stipulated that women in the harem were not allowed to enter the Jinluan Palace without permission.
She took out Leng Qisu's token and sternly said that she was in an emergency.
So, the eunuch had to put her in.
Inside the hall, Eleven and everyone were discussing something. When she entered rashly, everyone was startled and all looked at her.
"Fourth sister-in-law?" Eleven stood up from the dragon chair.
