Night falls.

On the banks of the Yunwu River, the river wind is strong and the snowflakes are slowly falling.

Both sides of the river were quiet and deserted.

Linghu Qingzhu, who was dressed in green clothes, did not follow the others back to the sect, but stood alone by the river in a daze.

In the middle of the river, there is a small boat moored.

On the boat, a slim girl wearing an aqua dress was sitting on the bow of the boat, with her bare, white and delicate feet, playing with the cold river water boredly.

Both of them seemed to be aware of the other's existence, but they were each in a daze, thinking about their own things, and ignored each other.

Not long after, two figures suddenly appeared in the wind and snow on the other side.

The two figures were one behind the other, moving very fast, and were already close in the blink of an eye.

Linghu Qingzhu just glanced at the two of them lightly, then turned and left.

The graceful girl sitting on the bow of the boat stood up and waved happily: "Master! Master!"

Luo Qingzhou picked up Xia Chan and boarded the boat.

The two girls looked at each other, and Long'er took the initiative to say hello with a smile: "Chanchan, do you still remember me? I was the one who took you to that house. My name is Long'er."

Xia Chan didn't speak, but looked curiously at the red dot between her eyebrows, then secretly glanced at the bare white feet under her skirt and the red rope bell on the ankle of one of the feet.

When I saw her that day, she didn't have any of these things.

Long Er said: "Sir, the people from Lingxiao Sect have just returned. Your uncle was still standing opposite for a long time. She only left when she saw you and Chanchan coming back."

When Luo Qingzhou heard this, he looked towards the other side.

Long Er said again: "By the way, sir, your wife also came to the river today. She has been standing there for a long time and she seems to be coughing."

Luo Qingzhou came to his senses immediately and said: "Long'er, I want to go home first."

Long Er nodded, somewhat reluctantly, and said: "Master, that night..."

At this point, she suddenly stopped again, glanced at the girl next to him, smiled, and said: "Then Long'er went back to practice."

Luo Qingzhou said no more, picked up Xia Chan, crossed the river, and landed on the other side.

When the two returned home, the house was dark and silent.

In the study room, there was a faint light on.

Luo Qingzhou entered the small courtyard alone, and when he was about to enter the house, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the corner of the wall next to him.

"laugh--"

There was a sound of water.

A figure squatted there, looking at him with wide eyes, as if he was frightened.

Luo Qingzhou pretended not to see it and went straight into the house.

In the next room, the low voices of Qiu'er and Xiaodie could be heard.

There was silence in the study.

Luo Qingzhou took off his shoes and pushed open the door of the study room. Suddenly there was a sound inside, and then there was a "pop", and the weak figure who was sitting on the couch suddenly fell to the ground.

Luo Qingzhou hurriedly went in, helped Miss Qin Er up on the ground, and said distressedly: "Silly girl, why are you panicking?"

Miss Qin Er threw herself into his arms, her delicate body trembling slightly, and hugged him tightly, her face full of tears.

Luo Qingzhou stroked her hair and comforted her softly: "I'm fine, aren't you back well?"

Qiu'er and Xiaodie seemed to have heard the sound, and they appeared at the door together. Seeing them hugging each other, they quickly retreated and closed the door for them.

At this time, Pearl's face was red and she came in from the outside in despair.

Qiu'er saw that she looked wrong and asked quickly: "Zhu'er, what's wrong with you? Didn't you go just now..."

At this point, she suddenly stopped, as if something suddenly occurred to her.

Pearl was immediately ashamed and immediately covered her hot face and fled into her room.

In the study.

Luo Qingzhou went to the bed with the girl in his arms and comforted her for a long time before he stopped crying.

Although he felt cruel, he hesitated for a moment and told her about his eldest brother.

Of course, I only mentioned it briefly.

"The elder brother was tortured. When Xia Chan and I went there, the elder brother was already dying. The elder brother said a few words to me and asked me to take good care of you..."

"I killed the emperor and buried him with my elder brother..."

"The eldest princess has ascended the throne, but the situation is not stable. Although Kyoto is controlled by her, the feudal countries in various places and the Thai king on the border may not give up..."

"After all, she is a daughter, which is difficult for most people to accept."

"As for the marriage, I thought she would break off the engagement immediately after ascending to the throne, but..."

"She originally asked me to marry her today, but I refused because today is the death anniversary of my eldest brother..."

"She asked me to go to the palace in three days to marry her..."

"Wei Mo, the eldest brother walked very bravely and felt at ease. He saw me killing the emperor, and he knew that I could take good care of you. He died without regrets..."

"Birth, old age, illness and death are natural laws. Everyone will reach that point. You don't have to be too sad..."

"I can't talk to my father-in-law and mother-in-law about this matter. It's up to you to decide whether to tell them or not."

"We will go to the riverside later to burn some paper money for my eldest brother. Chanchan and I have already bought the paper money and put it outside..."

"Wei Mo, I killed the emperor. I don't know what the consequences will be. I must continue to practice hard to protect you..."

"Also, the eldest princess has been very kind to us. She has saved me many times and our Qin family many times, so... I must help her. Next, she will probably face many things. If she needs me,

I will help her without hesitation."

"As for the marriage, it is not my personal matter. It is the matter of Lingxiao Sect and other sects, as well as the eldest princess and the royal family. I can't refuse. Now that she has ascended the throne, she naturally wants to recruit more forces to help her. I am

As a disciple of the leader of the Lingxiao Sect, she should have taken a fancy to this identity and my strength. Even if the Lingxiao Sect will not help her, as long as the Lingxiao Sect does not side with other forces, she will feel at ease..."

"Wei Mo, you will always be my favorite wife. No one can take this position away... not even the eldest princess, not even the first queen in the world."

The couple hugged each other and talked for a long time.

Seeing that it was almost early in the morning, the two got off the bed. Luo Qingzhou helped her put on thick shoes and socks, then helped her put on a thick fox fur and a hat, and then helped her out of the room.

Qiu'er and Xiaodie heard the sound and came out of the room.

Luo Qingzhou glanced at the two little girls and said solemnly: "Let's go out through the back door and go to the riverside to burn paper for eldest brother."

When the two little girls heard this, they understood and hurriedly put on thick clothes and brought umbrellas and fire folding bags.

Qiu'er went to the room and called Zhu'er.

Although Pearl was shy, when she heard that she was going to burn paper for the eldest son, she quickly put on her clothes and came out. When she saw someone, she immediately lowered her head with a blushing face and said nothing.

Several people held umbrellas and went out in the wind and snow.

Luo Qingzhou glanced at the next door and found that Xia Chan and Bai Ling were both standing outside the door.

Bai Ling held a flower umbrella in his hand. Under the umbrella, a beautiful figure also covered in snow-white fox fur stood there quietly, still cold and silent.

Second Miss Qin had tears in her eyes and said in a trembling voice: "Sister..."

Miss Qin didn't speak and walked over in silence.

The group walked through the snow, went out through the back door, and followed the winding path to the riverside, facing the direction of Kyoto.

Luo Qingzhou squatted on the ground, took out the fire paper, then took the fire paper handed over by Xiaodie and lit the fire paper.

A weak flame soon ignited on the riverside.

Several people burned paper one by one in silence.

Miss Qin stood aside with an indifferent expression, just looking at the dark night in the distance without burning paper in front of the fire.

Miss Qin Er glanced at her without forcing herself.

Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but said: "Miss, since you are here, why don't you come over and burn some pieces of paper?"

Miss Qin remained silent and stood motionless.

Bai Ling quickly knelt down and said, "Uncle, let me help you burn a few more. Miss is not feeling well and can't smell the smoke."

Luo Qingzhou said no more.

After the paper money was burned and all the flames on the ground were extinguished, Luo Qingzhou helped Miss Qin and prepared to go back.

At this time, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the dim night sky.

A moon-white figure appeared in the high clouds, and in the distance, a blue figure suddenly approached and stopped in front of her.

At this time, dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, Luo Qingzhou's sight was blocked, and the two of them were lost.

"Sister Yue? The other person is..."
