Facts proved that Nie Ying was not joking. In the evening, two members of Tiangang Disha commanded the shadow guards and set off towards the capital.
Li Nanke did not enjoy the carriage treatment this time, but was escorted in a prison car.
Fortunately, Nie Ying was with me on the road, so I wasn't lonely at all.
A huge full moon hung high in the sky.
The quiet moonlight casts a silver net on the path, like a layer of silver frost.
The carriage drove slowly, with the prison carriage behind.
In the silent night there was only the sound of wheels and horses' hooves.
"Nie Qianhu, do you think I will be imprisoned directly after arriving in the capital?" Li Nanke sat cross-legged in the prison car, leaning against a soft cushion, and asked the woman riding a horse outside.
The woman is riding on a tall horse with a bright purple body and a flying mane like snow, with a dashing figure.
When Li Nanke asked, he said coldly: "Why not just behead him?"
"That's right."
Li Nanke rubbed his chin.
Nie Ying was silent for a few seconds and said: "The Emperor wants to kill you, so there is no need to go to such trouble. There is a high probability that he will put you in prison."
"Can I have good food and sleep in prison?"
Li Nanke is very concerned about his quality of life.
Nie Ying's pink lips curled up slightly, "What do you mean?"
"Ordinary prisoners must not be treated well, but I have Nie Qianhu to take care of me, so it should be fine." Li Nanke chuckled and started to take care of things in advance.
Nie Ying snorted coldly: "If you don't want to implicate me, just stay there safely."
"Heartless."
Li Nanke pouted.
Nie Ying turned her head, half of her silver-white mask reflecting the cold light in the moonlight, "I am just an eagle dog of the imperial court, not the eldest princess."
The woman's tone was very casual, but the helpless and sad mood she conveyed was still keenly sensed by the man.
Tool people will always be tool people and cannot control their own destiny.
Li Nanke stopped saying anything and leaned against the cold prison railing in a daze.
In the luxurious carriage ahead, Bai Ruyue lifted the curtain and stared at the prison carriage behind her, with a hint of worry and helplessness floating on her face.
When escorting Li Nanke, she strongly requested that he ride in a carriage with her, but was refused by two members of Tiangang Disha.
As the eldest princess, despite her noble status, she still cannot give orders beyond her authority in front of her father's personal bodyguards.
But this time, my father was very tough and sent Tiangang Disha to escort Li Nanke, and he didn't know how to deal with him.
Thinking of this, Bai Ruyue felt deeply tired.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, she has concealed a lot of truth from her father for Li Nanke. If the Phoenix Mountain incident and other incidents had been told truthfully, Li Nanke would not have been arrested until now.
As a daughter, she is undoubtedly unqualified.
As a lover, she is also unqualified.
After all, there was no bright future between her and Li Nanke. At that time, she was the one who was entangled with each other and was reluctant to break off the dreamy relationship.
Now that the man takes the initiative to accept him, she is worried.
"It would be great if she wasn't a princess."
Bai Ruyue lowered the car curtain and let out a slight sigh from her red lips.
As I thought about it, a wave of sleepiness came over me.
Since being kidnapped by the Tianqiong Cult, she has not had a peaceful rest, and is deeply exhausted both mentally and physically.
Bai Ruyue leaned on the carriage, closed her eyes and slept lightly.
Soon the woman fell into a dream again.
It's still a familiar dream.
Surrounded by tall, cold white palace walls, as a child she was paralyzed on the stone bed, unable to move, and all she could do was blink.
The stone bed floated in the air, and the pool below was flowing with blood-red liquid.
The liquid is as thick as human blood.
And tied to a slender pillar in the middle of the pool was an old man with disheveled hair.
The old man lowered his head and couldn't see his face clearly.
Bai Ruyue had no memory of this childhood memory at all. If the illusion of the Tianqiong Sect's altar hadn't helped her recall it, she probably would never have remembered it.
Along with the memory excavation, the fragmentary memories gradually became clear.
At that time, she would come to this mysterious palace every few days and lie on the stone bed.
Besides her, there was also the mysterious old man in the blood pool.
To be precise, he was an imprisoned old man.
Bai Ruyue didn't know the old man's true identity, but she felt a sense of familiarity inexplicably.
As the water in the pool boiled, wisps of red rain-condensed blood knives stabbed the old man's body, and then released tiny bits of blood that were injected into her body.
Bai Ruyue could clearly feel that her body was beginning to gain vitality and her bones were gradually solidifying.
But the old man's aura was obviously beginning to wane.
It seemed like he would die at any moment.
"So, it's because of you that I can recover." Bai Ruyue murmured softly, her eyes filled with gratitude and guilt, as well as an indescribable sadness and fear.
The old man seemed to have heard her murmur and slowly raised his head.
Just when Bai Ruyue wanted to see his face clearly, the dream suddenly began to break apart, turning into pieces, and then put back together again.
The blood-colored liquid turned into pink peach blossom petals, scattering in the forest.
The dreamland changed and turned into the dreamland of Peach Blossom Land that she missed most.
But this time she watched from God's perspective, watching her, Li Nanke and her daughter's family, nestling by the lake and watching the sunrise.
In their sight, the couple's hands were always holding together.
Looking at each other, the extremely pulling eyes, the floating emotion of love...weave into the purest love.
Bai Ruyue watched quietly, her eyes full of envy.
Even though this was the dream time she had.
Too bad it's too short.
However, this supposedly tender scene gradually becomes distorted and pulled away. Both the characters and the scenery seem to be pulled by a mysterious force.
Gradually, the screen was torn open.
Her and Li Nanke's figures were torn apart, pulled into two pieces, seemingly pulled into two worlds.
Getting further and further away, getting blurry.
Bai Ruyue panicked and wanted to stop it, but couldn't do anything.
"Mother~"
In the distorted dream scene, their daughter called softly.
The scenery gradually disappeared, and the couple was completely separated into two worlds. Only the figure of the little girl stood there quietly, frozen in the dark curtain.
Bai Ruyue moved her lips and wanted to shout, but she froze when the words reached her lips.
What is their daughter's name?
Li Nanke also asked suddenly on the boat before.
She couldn't answer.
Although they have experienced a lifetime in the fantasy of Peach Blossom Land, their daughter's name is covered in blank space and they cannot remember it.
"Mother...why did you want to kill daddy?"
the little girl questioned.
What?
Bai Ruyue looked confused.
The next moment, the little girl took out a sharp knife and rushed over, "Actually, the person who deserves to die the most is you!"
…
Bai Ruyue woke up from her dream with a frightened expression.
Looking around, he was still in the carriage.
The moonlight outside the car window is very bright, flowing quietly in the woods on both sides of the road, spreading a layer of tranquility.
The woman's cheeks are very pale.
The fine beads of sweat on his forehead showed the horror of the dream just now.
"Why do you have such a dream?"
Bai Ruyue exhaled a breath and leaned on the soft cushion to calm down slightly.
The soaked shirt clung to his skin.
Although it was uncomfortable, it could not overcome the pain in my heart.
Although it was just a dream, the daughter in the dream rushed towards her with a knife. This was still very uncomfortable for her who had experienced the fantasy world of Taoyuan.
Bai Ruyue was in a daze for a while, then opened the curtains of the car and looked at the prison car behind.
The prison van drove slowly behind.
Li Nanke seemed to be sleeping too.
Bai Ruyue sighed and was about to lower the car curtain when she suddenly saw a petite figure standing upright on top of the prison car.
But when she looked again, there was nothing.
"Dazzled?"
Bai Ruyue frowned and lowered the car curtain without paying attention.
"Mother~~"
There seemed to be a faint sigh in the empty forest.
