Time flies and the night fades away.
When the sun was shining brightly in the morning, Shi Qinghuan was pulled out of bed by Qin Shuang who came to the door.
Flower petal bath, trying on clothes, setting makeup...
After a whole morning of tossing, Shi Qinghuan was put on the carriage in the afternoon, smelling delicious.
He also sent it to Qingyue Bank early.
Quietly, of course.
Bailiheng was busy during the day, so Shi Qinghuan stayed in the hall and waited.
There was still no one around, and the receptionist Xiao Huan specifically told her that there was no need to be restrained in the house.
Shi Qinghuan was bored, so he left the main hall and walked around.
Qingyuepan is actually not big or luxurious, and is named for its elegance.
After getting familiar with the environment, Shi Qinghuan sat down in the pavilion by the lake.
The afterglow of the setting sun was very warm and shone lazily on her body, making her sleepy come back again.
Strangely enough, after her rebirth, she could not feel at ease even in her own courtyard, and was always worried.
But here, I feel inexplicably at ease.
Maybe it's because no one will threaten her in Bailiheng's territory.
After not sleeping all night, plus the hard work during the day, the breeze blowing from all directions made her just lean on one side and really fell asleep.
She is dressed in white clothes that are better than snow, and lined with a smoky purple cloak. She is cold and beautiful. The ink hair is scattered on her beautiful face as she moves slightly, and with the last light and shadow before the night, it is hazy and unreal.
This is the scene Bailiheng saw at this moment.
Shi Qinghuan sat sideways on the railing, his clothes hanging down along the railing, fluttering slightly in the breeze.
Let her whole body be lonely, delicate and charming.
Bailiheng just looked at her with a look in his eyes.
"don't want!"
In the breeze, Shi Qinghuan's murmur slowly sounded.
Bailiheng's eyebrows were raised halfway, and he subconsciously leaned down beside her, leaning towards her ear.
At this moment, Shi Qinghuan had returned to the original Half Moon Cliff in his dream.
"The Holy One has decreed that the Duke Protector's Mansion rebelled and conspired. The crime is unforgivable, and now everyone in the Mansion will be punished. Shi Qinghuan, give up, there is no way you can leave alive today!"
Bodies were scattered everywhere and rivers of blood flowed.
Jiang Qing was looking at her with great shock and fear in his eyes.
Because there were corpses everywhere in front of her, and she had killed only a few of the nearly a hundred elite Imperial Guards.
The white clothes had turned into blood, and there were blood drops dripping from the blade of the sword in his hand.
Ling Feng stood and looked at Jiang Qing.
"Where's Cheng Yangfeng?"
"His Royal Highness is currently preparing for the crown prince's enthronement ceremony in three days, so he has no time to see you."
The fight that followed was long and difficult, until arrows fell from the sky.
Her body was riddled with holes, the bone-piercing pain was very clear, and the huge push pushed her into the abyss and cliff behind her.
When he was dying after falling, Shi Qinghuan saw the flames in the sky of the Protector's Mansion, and the shooting stars in the night sky...
Finally, darkness enveloped me, and a loud bang exploded in my ears.
"boom..."
The fireworks blooming in the distance illuminated Shi Qinghuan's pale face. Bailiheng's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously reached out to cover her ears.
But at this moment, Shi Qinghuan suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes were blood red, with hatred and murderous intent intertwined, and he was pulled into fear by the roaring sounds that sounded one after another.
Shi Qinghuan was trembling, pitiful and helpless like a deer lost in the deep forest. For a moment, Bailiheng's heart felt like he had been punched hard.
"It's just fireworks, don't be afraid, wake up!"
The voice was surprisingly gentle and filled with awe that penetrated the heart.
Shi Qinghuan's eyes gradually became clear.
In the clear moment before his eyes, Shi Qinghuan saw Bailiheng's frown.
The distance between the two was very close, his breath was in front of him, his warmth was in his ears, and the interlaced light of fireworks fell on his face.
At this moment, Shi Qinghuan felt the peace of mind he felt after being on the verge of collapse.
Shi Qinghuan didn't know that the look in her eyes was a kind of dependence like grasping at straws, and such dependence and peace of mind made Bailiheng's heart move slightly.
The face is bright and clear, falling under the eyes, not like ice and snow, but melting.
When the fireworks ended, the silence brought Shi Qinghuan back to his senses.
Such a close distance scared her so much that she quickly stood up.
Bailiheng's fingertips passed under her ear, and the cool ink passed through his fingers, bringing with them a different kind of softness.
Shi Qinghuan stood far away, not knowing how to speak.
After Bailiheng was stunned for a moment, he sat down on one side.
"Miss Lin, you have many weaknesses!"
Shi Qinghuan calmed down, his eyes firm, "I will find a solution."
"Well, I hope you will do what you say. I can't have anyone with such a weakness around me."
Bailiheng said it harshly, but it was also true.
Such a weakness can be fatal at any time.
However, Bailiheng was very satisfied with how decisive she was.
"sit down."
Shi Qinghuan walked to sit across from Bailiheng and looked up to see his intense gaze, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Sir, is there... something on my face?"
Bailiheng smiled slightly and even leaned forward to look more seriously.
"Didn't you say that I just stare at you? So I also want to see what desire you have that makes me keep looking at you."
this...
Shi Qinghuan looked embarrassed, "My lord, please forgive me, but I was just prevaricating..."
"Prevarication? Not necessarily, otherwise why would you be here now?"
Nothing could be hidden from Bailiheng. Shi Qinghuan sighed, "Yes, I just want to make it easier to come and go, and I came here today to give something to you, sir."
Shi Qinghuan said and handed over the written translation.
Bailiheng took it with one hand and was a little surprised after seeing it clearly.
"Didn't you say you would give it to me after joining the Supervision Department?"
"I thanked you for your help yesterday. This is my thank you gift."
"Aren't you afraid that if I get what I want, I won't fulfill my promise?"
"You will definitely not break a gentleman's promise. Of course, my value is more than that!"
When he said this, Shi Qinghuan looked arrogant, his eyes were full of confidence, and his whole aura reversed, as if he had become a different person.
There was a smile in Bailiheng's eyes, and he accepted the translation, "Then I'll wait and see."
Seeing this, Shi Qinghuan stood up and nodded towards Baili Hong.
Before she could speak, Bailiheng said as expected, "If you have something to say, just say it. What do you want me to do?"
"I would like to trouble you, sir, to help me find out something. How did Sister Miaotong escape from death ten years ago?"
"It's not easy to investigate what happened ten years ago. Besides, does Shi Miaotong have such affection for you?"
With another probing look, Shi Qinghuan's expression remained unchanged, "I am a person with a clear sense of grudges. Those who have enemies will fight to the death, and those who have kindnesses will repay them twice as much."
"So, if one day I end up in a desperate situation, you will definitely do the same and never leave me?"
The words were a bit ambiguous, and Bailiheng's eyes were even more fixed and difficult to understand.
But Shi Qinghuan didn't think much about it.
"yes."
The answer was decisive and simple. A smile appeared on the corner of Bailiheng's lips, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
"Okay, I'll check it for you, but again, it's been ten years and it's not easy to check things out."
Shi Qinghuan took out another piece of white paper from his sleeve. After opening it, there was a plum blossom drawn on it. There was also a crescent moon printed in the plum blossom.
"Sister Miaotong has this mark on her back shoulder. It should be branded on. Maybe it's a clue."
Speaking of this, Shi Qinghuan's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Shi Miaotong's skin used to be as smooth as gelatin, but when she was bandaged and changed yesterday, she was found to have scars all over her body.
This mark is particularly obvious on the back shoulder.
Just like the stabbing used by prisoners serving their sentences, this should also be some kind of imprint.
After Bailiheng saw the mark clearly, his expression changed slightly, and when he raised his eyes to look at Shi Qinghuan, he became solemn.
"Do you know...Zhuangyan Temple?"
