Baili Qinghong has not been so embarrassed for many years. It is not that he looks embarrassed but his current situation and mood. He was actually... plotted by Tuoba Mingzhu! The degree of this feeling is even higher than that he was plotted by Chu Ling and Tuoba Luo before. Because Chu Ling and Tuoba Luo are opponents, Tuoba Mingzhu is just a fool who he abandoned. But now... he is plotted by this fool!

Tuoba Mingzhu was lit by her acupoint and could not move, but the expression on her face was rare and rich. Pride, pride, pleasure, and hatred made the face full of dust and a little old like a hideous ghost face.

Baili Qinghong wanted to pounce over and kill this woman, but he was powerless. He didn't know what medicine Tuoba Mingzhu used. His legs soaked in the water were heavy as if they were filled with lead water, and he couldn't even lift it up. He could only lean on the huge and heavy ice coffin behind him and barely stood in the water and glared at Tuoba Mingzhu angrily. Tuoba Mingzhu smiled and said, "Do you know how you were poisoned? It's not an easy thing to plot against a master like you. Ah... I forgot to tell you that this poison... was originally prepared by Tuoba Luo for Princess Shenyou."

"Why did Tuoba Luo give up killing Princess Shenyou?!" Baili Qinghong gritted his teeth and Tuoba Mingzhu said, "Because... someone told him that such an arrangement might not necessarily kill Princess Shenyou. Because Princess Shenyou has the most powerful masters and famous doctors in the world. Jun Wuhuan has been sick for so many years and can still make trouble. How could Tuoba Luo hope to kill Princess Shenyou by poisoning? If Princess Shenyou takes revenge, the regent who has not Tuoba Xingye may not be able to stop the revenge of the Yun family."

Baili Qinghong said coldly: "You can't think of so many reasons to trade with Tuoba Luo." Tuoba Mingzhu was not angry at all and smiled: "Yes, do you want to guess who convinced Tuoba Luo?"

Baili Qinghong didn't want to guess because he already had a choice in his heart. But Tuoba Mingzhu wanted to say, "Is Su He Mingguang very surprised? Su He Wolf Lord is very sympathetic. How could he bear to let Princess Shenyou die in such a cold and dark place? What's more... Tianqi also gave Su and Mingguang a big gift, which was enough to ensure that the brother and sister of Su He would stand on Princess Shenyou at any time."

Baili Qinghong said: "You betrayed the holy relics of the Leye tribe to the Agean Qiren, but the Agean Qiren used them to exchange interests with Su and Mingguang. Do you think you are very smart?"

Tuoba Mingzhu smiled and said, "You don't need to remind me again and again. If I were not stupid, how could I be deceived by you for many years? I don't care what Chu Qingyi and Su and Mingguang are going to do to Leye tribe. Anyway, they immediately surrendered to you after their father died. What's the use of such a mother clan? As long as I can watch you die, I will be happy." Baili Qinghong said, "So, this is the idea Duan Yun gave you again."

"No," Tuoba Mingzhu said lightly: "You don't need to provoke me, I know he is using me. But what can I do? I'm so stupid. Without their help, I will never kill you. Maybe one day when you really take power, I will end up worse than Chu Fuyi. How can I tolerate such a thing happening?"

"Do you don't even care about your children?" Baili Qinghong said in a deep voice.

Tuoba Mingzhu shook her head and looked at him with sad eyes, "No matter how much you say, it's useless. I have no antidote. I told you that this place was arranged by Tuoba Luo and used the secret medicine of the Clan. Even if the people from the Yun family are here, they can't save you." No matter how powerful the miracle doctor is, it will take time to study the antidote. If it can be cracked so easily, it will not become the secret medicine of the Clan.

"Tuo, Ba, Ming, Zhu." Baili Qinghong whispered, every word seemed to be squeezed out of the gap of teeth and was filled with blood. Tuoba Mingzhu became more and more happy, "Baili Qinghong, you are destined to fall into my hands in this life. You accept your fate!"

Baili Qinghong's face suddenly changed, and he wanted to walk towards Tuoba Mingzhu, but his legs, which seemed to be completely numb, almost pounced into the water. In the end, he could only rely on the power of his upper body to stabilize his body, and stare at the woman on the shore with a cold expression. There was only a faint light in the dark cave that made Tuoba Mingzhu almost see the eyes that seemed to be spitting fire in the dark.

"Don't you want to live?" Baili Qinghong said coldly.

Tuoba Mingzhu smiled but stopped talking, just as if she was talking to herself: "Why did I meet you..."

If she had met someone like Nangong Yuyue back then, she might have died early at the hands of Nangong Yuyue. If she had met someone like Tuoba Yin, she might have simply died in battle and died for the country. If she had met someone like Jun Wuhuan, she might have lie on firewood and tasted gall, but he would not marry him. He had countless ways to deal with his father instead of using his marriage as a tool to gain trust. But no matter which one, whether she died first, or he died first, she would never know that such a person she was crazy about back then.

But... Maybe a long time later, people will say that if they were not forced by her, Baili Qinghong might still be the young hero with the bright moon and gloriousness back then, and she would ruin him.

Perhaps, this is retribution.

Since she has destroyed him, then just destroy him thoroughly and take him...to completely destroy him.

Tuoba Mingzhu stopped talking, as if she didn't care at all that she could not move her acupoint by Baili Qinghong. Baili Qinghong couldn't move, and no one knew that they were here. If Baili Qinghong didn't untie her acupoint, it would be whimsical to use her strength to break open the acupoint. Maybe both of them would die here.

But Tuoba Mingzhu just refused to speak again, as if she had finished what she wanted to say to Baili Qinghong. She simply closed her eyes and stood by the lake. This was about the quietest time she had in the past twenty years.

There were only two living people in the empty cave. Baili Qinghong could calm down at first. After discovering that Tuoba Mingzhu really didn't care about life or death, she finally couldn't calm down after discovering that Tuoba Mingzhu really didn't care about life or death. He began to say all kinds of words to anger Tuoba Mingzhu, or analyze her powerful relationship with her, and make her feel reasonable. After finding that these were useless and could not impress Tuoba Mingzhu, he began to curse out of control. He insulted Tuoba Mingzhu or even Tuoba Liang with various ugly words, without any manners. Perhaps the people of the Yun family would really suspect that this person was really a descendant of the Baili family educated by the Baili family of a century-old family?

I don't know how long it took, but the sound in the cave gradually lowered. Tuoba Mingzhu, who stood on the shore like a stone sculpture, never opened her eyes again. Under the dark light, a teardrop quietly slid from the corner of her eyes.

When Chu Ling and his party arrived at the location provided by Tuoba Luo, they saw such a strange scene.

In the middle of the small lake full of cold smoke, a huge ice coffin was lying quietly. A person was kneeling in the water beside the ice coffin. Because it was too close to the ice coffin, a layer of frost had formed on his body. At the lake not far from him, a person stood straight. With his slightly closed eyes, it seemed like a stone sculpture.

Everyone following Chu Ling couldn't help but hold their breath and look at the scene in front of them.

Zhu Yaohong walked over, checked the standing figure, and shook his head silently at Chu Ling and others.

Chu Ling sighed lightly. She knew that Tuoba Mingzhu's ending would not be good. Maybe she could really kill Baili Qinghong, or maybe she would be killed by Baili Qinghong, but she didn't expect that this would end like this. Zhu Yaohong's face changed slightly, and she lowered her voice and said, "I'm frozen to death." Tuoba Mingzhu's acupuncture points were stopped. The temperature in the cave was not high. Tuoba Mingzhu and Baili Qinghong were wearing summer clothes when they came in. Not to mention the influence of the huge black ice coffin in the middle of the lake. The longer they stayed here, the colder they felt when they dated. With Tuoba Mingzhu's little skill, I was afraid that they would be frozen to death if they could not even support the sky.

Chu Ling took out an exquisite medicine bottle from her sleeve and flew over the lake and fell to the ice coffin. The woman in the ice coffin was still as beautiful and quiet as she saw when she went to Beijing, and the bouquet of red plums in the ice coffin was still bright and dazzling. Beside the ice coffin, Baili Qinghong knelt in the water, and her whole body was covered with a layer of frost, looking pale and stiff. But his expression seemed surprisingly calm, and no one could know what he was thinking about writing before he was temporarily.

Chu Ling thought for a while, but slowly took the medicine bottle back into her sleeve. She did not reach out to touch the ice coffin, but just looked at Baili Qinghong calmly and turned around and walked back to the shore.

"Princess?" Zhu Yaohong was a little surprised. Chu Ling shook her head and said, "This is a good place, don't disturb her for the time being." Tuoba Luo chose a good place. Chu Fuyi stayed here much better than sending her back to Jiangnan. In the future, it would be a strange place for her, and one day... they will return to Shangjing.

"Then... Baili Qinghong and Tuoba Mingzhu?" Zhu Yaohong asked.

Chu Ling said: "Let me take them away, and Tuoba Mingzhu will be sent back to the betrothed people of the Clan, Baili Qinghong...Yunyi."

Yun Yi has always stood in the dark and did not step forward. He knew that Chu Ling called him, so he slowly walked out. The boy back then has grown a tall young man. Compared to Yun Xu's gentleness, Hu Yunyi's outline is deeper, and he looks more like Baili Qinghong.

Yun Yi looked at the person in the middle of the lake with a cold expression, and Chu Ling said, "Yun Xu asked you to come with me, do you know why?"

Yun Yi nodded, "Don't worry, princess, I will handle it."

Chu Ling raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't think too much."

Yun Yi was stunned and his eyes suddenly turned red. But he quickly restrained his emotions and nodded seriously, "I know." He looked at Baili Qinghong with a side look, and Yun Yi said lightly: "It's okay if he's dead."

Zhu Yaohong followed Chu Ling to walk outside the cave. Zhu Yaohong couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that the Qiliner of Baili's family would end up like this." In the end, only one said, "It's okay if he died." Baili Qinghong's light was so dazzling back then, and how bleak the ending was now.

Chu Ling said: "I didn't expect that Tuoba Mingzhu would do this."

Zhu Yaohong chuckled, "This Zhaoguo princess has finally done something decent in her life."

The proud and domineering princess of the clan back then was standing and dead.

The cave was dark and cold. The two of them walked out one after another, and finally saw the light in a low voice. Zhu Yaohong couldn't help but rub his arms, "It's so cold."

"It's very warm outside, I've seen the light." Chu Ling said softly.

The two stepped out of the cave entrance, and the sunshine at noon in autumn shone on their bodies, and the chill that had been dyed in the cave was completely eliminated in a moment. Chu Ling looked up and there were several people standing not far away.

Xiao Yan'er and Xiao Shi were holding hands and talking while talking. Uncle Yun was scolding his uncontrollable brother, and Yun Xingyue was listening to the training. Yaduo and Wanfeng were holding Bubble and weaving garlands. Everything seemed peaceful and happy. By the stream not far from these people, a figure stood tall and tall, with a thin and upright figure. Although it had just begun autumn, he had already put on a cloak. When he turned around, he happened to see Chu Ling and Zhu Yaohong walking out. A faint smile appeared on his pale face. Chu Ling looked at the only coldness in his heart that seemed to have been instantly transformed by the warm sun.

"Sister Ah Ling!"

"Princess!"

"Shengsheng!"

The girls playing on the side pounced on him and surrounded Chu Ling, "Sister Ah Ling, have you done your business?"

"Chu Ling smiled and rubbed her bubbled hair, and smiled at Yaduo and Wanfeng, "Why are you here?"

Wanfeng smiled and said, "I heard that the princess is heading to the Western Regions. Let's see the princess off."

Yaduo nodded and said, "Yes, Shengsheng. I have something to do, so I can't accompany you to the Western Regions. But I have written down all the delicious food and fun things in the Western Regions. If you have time, remember to go out with Mr. Changli." As he said, Yaduo stuffed a booklet into Chu Ling's hand. Wanfeng was also very regretful, "There are many things in the Central Plains now, and we can't go. Princess, don't worry, we have us in the Central Plains, and there will be no trouble."

Chu Ling nodded with relief, "Thank you for your hard work." In recent years, both Yaduo and Wanfeng have grown a lot, and they are no longer the weak woman who needed her support. They are already the ones who can support a world alone. Xiao Yan'er smiled and said, "Leave the safety of Sister A Ling to me, we will protect Sister A Ling."

Bubble rubbed obediently on Chu Ling's palm, "Sister Aling, you have to come back soon. Sister Yaduo and Sister Wanfeng will wait for you together."

Chu Ling touched her little face, "Okay, I will bring gifts to Bubble when I come back."

"Uh-huh."

"A Ling."

Chu Ling comforted the girls late and finally walked towards Jun Wuhuan who was standing by the stream.

Jun Wuhuan held her slightly cool hand and took her into her arms, "Thank you for your hard work." In such a short time, he had to reach a temporary ceasefire agreement with the people of the Clan and arrange what they had to leave. A Ling would definitely not be relaxed during this period. He was originally sent away quietly, but Jun Wuhuan should be angry. But he knew that all this was just because she was worried about him. If he was still angry with her, it would be too slutty.

Chu Ling smiled and said, "It's still worth it to be able to have a safe life. Isn't it?"

Jun Wuhuan lowered his head and touched hers with his forehead.

"Yes, it's better to have a stable life after years of battle."

Chu Ling looked up and smiled, "Let's go to the Western Regions first, and agreed... you will be with me forever."

"Natural." Jun Wuhuan said, "I never thought of giving Ah Ling to someone else." So, no matter what, I have to live, "How can I bear to leave you alone."

Chu Ling leaned against his shoulder and closed his eyes slightly, "Jun Wuhuan, you have to keep your word. I don't want to be alone. In this world... alone is too cold and too tired."

"No, I will always be with A Ling. No matter where... you come from, wherever you want to go."

Chu Ling was slightly stunned, but saw that Jun Wuhuan's eyes were calm and gentle, as if they were boundless warmth and smile, which made her whole body feel warm.

"Thousands of mountains and rivers, never leave them?"

"A promise is set, there will be no regrets forever."

"I say, two!" Not far away, Yun Xingyue held the horse and hugged her arms and mumbled the two of them, "It's almost time, it's time to go. Are there any sweet words? Can you wait until there is no one?"

Chu Ling stood up and looked at Yun Xingyue with a smile, "If Mr. Yun is envious, why not find one by himself?"

Yun Xingyue snorted lightly, and turned over and ignored these two ungrateful guys.

The guard came over with two horses and handed them over to them.

Not far away, Xiao Yan'er and others had already boarded the horse and headed forward. Zhu Yaohongfei followed the two of them, and Yaduo and Wanfeng waved goodbye with bubbles behind him.

"Princess, take care of yourself!"

"Sister Ah Ling, take care of yourself!"

"Shengsheng, come back early."

Chu Ling nodded to the three of them with a smile, "We will be back soon." He smiled at Jun Wuhuan beside him, "Let's go."

Jun Wuhuan nodded slightly, lifted the reins and ran forward side by side with two horses...

Looking at their departure backs, Wanfeng whispered: "Young Master Changli will definitely get better, right?"

"Of course!" Yaduo smiled and said, "When Sheng Sheng and Mr. Changli, everything will be better."

"Sister Yaduo is right!" Bubble said with a crisp voice.

Looking at the figure gradually disappearing at the end of the sky, Yaduo and Wanfeng looked at each other and smiled.

Yes, everything will be better.

May you return soon.

May the world be peaceful as soon as possible and the world be in Chang'an as soon as possible.
