His whole body tensed up and he listened carefully with his ears raised.

"It turns out that the fourth daughter of the Imperial Master is not a goddess. The real goddess is our Princess Ruoxue."

"I have also heard about this matter. It is said that Chu Qingkuang has been pretending to be a goddess, causing several countries to fall into melee, but it turns out that she was always pretending."

"Isn't it? It is said that after her identity as a false goddess was revealed, she even wanted to kill Princess Ruoxue. Fortunately, our Emperor was wise and saved the princess in time."

"I wonder how His Majesty the Emperor dealt with Chu Qingkuang."

"What else can I do? Just kill him."

When Nangong Xichao heard this, he hurried forward and grabbed someone's arm and asked sternly: "Is what you just said true? Was Chu Qingkuang really executed?"

Although the man in front of him was wearing a mask, he was very powerful. The person who was holding his shoulders knew that this man must be a master of various kinds, and said hurriedly: "This hero, please show mercy, these things are being discussed everywhere, then

Chu Qingkuang has indeed been executed by the emperor."

Nangong Xichao threw him away heavily and turned around to leave without even buying the sesame cakes. He did not believe that Chu Qingkuang had been executed.

In order to get the true meaning of the matter, he quietly sneaked into Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

Gu Xiping was injured and did not go to court for the past few days. He only rested at home. The weather was very good that day. He asked someone to move the Taishi's chair and put it by the lake. He sat on it leisurely and wiped the crumbs from his hands.

Throw every bit into the lake to feed the fish.

Suddenly he felt something move behind him. He was deeply solemn. Just as he was about to get up, a dagger was already placed on his neck. He only heard a cold voice coming from behind and said: "Let me ask you, is Chu Qingkuang really going to be executed by the emperor?"

Is it done?”

He remembered that the voice belonged to Nangong Xichao.

He slowly raised his lips and smiled and said: "Chu Qingkuang pretended to be the goddess of heaven and even injured the princess. For such a vicious person, His Majesty the Emperor is only merciful if he did not kill his whole family."

Nangong Xichao's hand holding the dagger trembled, and he moved closer, his tone as cold as if it came from hell, "Tell me the truth, is Chu Qingkuang really executed?"

Gu Xiping threw the steamed bun into the lake and snorted coldly: "Why did I lie to you? If you don't believe me, you can go into the palace and ask His Majesty the Emperor."

They deliberately spread the news about Chu Qingkuang's death. The real Chu Qingkuang has been executed by the emperor. As for Chu Qingkuang appearing again in the future, it must be a fake. The current goddess is Nangong Xue. If Chu Qingkuang appears again

, then there is another person pretending to be a goddess, and anyone who sees it will kill him directly.

Furthermore, he didn't want Nangong Xichao to find Chu Qingkuang. For some reason, he still felt possessive of Chu Qingkuang. He didn't want any man to stay with Chu Qingkuang.

"Tell me, where are her bones?"

Gu Xiping said leisurely: "His Majesty the Emperor said that she was a person of great fault. She was burned without leaving her whole body. There are probably traces of her bones in the air."

Gu Xiping's tone was obviously mocking.

Pain flashed through Nangong Xichao's eyes. He took away his hand, turned around and jumped out of Zhennan Palace. Gu Xiping looked at the direction he was leaving, with a sneer slowly rising from the corner of his mouth.

He didn't believe that she was dead. Even if everyone in the world said that she was dead, he still didn't believe it. Why didn't she wait for him? He hadn't explained to her that he didn't mean to abandon her.

Nangong Xichao was walking on the street, with people coming and going. He was like a soulless person. From time to time, he bumped into others and was yelled at, but he didn't care.

After walking for a short time, he felt very tired. He leaned against a wall and let his body slide to the ground. His eyes were blood red, but there were no tears. He held on to the grass beneath him, as if this was the only way to support himself.

.

He looked up at the sky and felt like crying without tears.

Chu Qingkuang, why can't she wait for him any longer?

Although the hut on the mountain was simple, it was elegantly built. Chu Qingkuang woke up from her nightmare. With Zhong Lichen's care, her wounds had healed a lot.

She dreamed that she was placed in a large container, and someone cut a gash on her neck. Blood continued to flow out of the gash. She struggled and screamed, but no one came to save her.

The pain made her suffocate again and again.

She looked around the room. She remembered that she had woken up in this room last time. A strong smell of medicine came from the door. She got up and walked out of the room. Just like last time, she saw Zhong Lichen standing there.

Squatting next to the medicine stove and carefully decoction.

The smoke from the stove could not touch his white clothes.

Seeing her coming, Zhong Lichen smiled at her. That smile actually eclipsed the flowers everywhere, "Are you awake? Is the wound feeling better?"

She nodded, "Did you bring me here?"

There was a little melancholy in the smile on his face, "Don't you remember what happened?"

She carefully recalled it, all she knew was that she was stabbed by Gu Xiping last night and asked him to save her. After that, her head kept getting dizzy, and she couldn't remember it anymore. Seeing that his expression was a little weird, she couldn't help but ask

: "Did something big happen yesterday?"

Zhong Lichen coughed lightly to cover up the strangeness on his face and said, "It's nothing serious, just forget it if you don't remember."

Chu Qingkuang nodded, just as he was about to finish it, he poured it into the bowl.

"Come and drink the medicine!"

Chu Qingkuang obediently took the medicine he handed over, but a fragment of her memory suddenly jumped into her mind. She looked at his face and said, "I remember, you seemed to have kissed me last night!"

Zhong Lichen choked on her own saliva. He, who had always been indifferent to emotions and anger, suddenly turned his head. She noticed that the base of his ears was red.

"You...you remember wrongly, there is no such thing."

Chu Qingkuang found it very funny. This man always looked like a fairy, as if he didn't care about anything. But when she saw that he had such a shy expression, she found it very funny, and suddenly she wanted to tease him.

So she pretended to tilt her head and think about it seriously and said, "But I clearly remember that you kissed me, and you kissed me very roughly."

The area around Zhong Lichen's ears turned even redder. He hurriedly stood up and said at a loss, "I'm going to sort out the things in the room."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Chu Qingkuang looked at his hastily escaping back and couldn't help but smile. The anxious look of this man was really funny.
