October in the golden autumn is a good time for annual hunting. The sky is clear and the wind is clear and the forest is lush. Surrounded by countless guards, a large group of people headed towards the royal hunting ground for autumn hunting.
In addition to the emperor's three concubines, there were also ministers of the court, generals on the battlefield, and their children. One carriage after another drove on the official road. Both sides of the street were lined with people watching. The scene was extremely spectacular. .
The royal hunting ground is located in the western suburbs of the capital. It takes about an hour from the palace. Because it is a royal hunting ground, it is guarded by officers and soldiers all year round. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter. The hunting ground also has pavilions and pavilions as well as the emperor's palace, which is specially designed for the emperor and his concubines to rest. use.
Bai Dieyu was worried about her size. Originally, Feng Qingge did not agree with her coming. However, the willful Bai Dieyu insisted on coming. Feng Qingge had no choice but to agree.
Just after arriving at the hunting ground, Bai Dieyu entered the palace to rest surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs. Leng Qiuluo couldn't rest. She wanted to ride a horse and hunt with Leng Junyi.
As for Xue Xichen, she is not interested in hunting. She has found a more interesting pastime.
The palace is built on Meishan Mountain. It is the time when plum blossoms are in full bloom. Plum blossoms are everywhere, and the fragrance is refreshing. When Xue Xichen arrived, she was fascinated by the snowy and sea-like plum blossoms. She immediately decided to enter the plum forest to appreciate the plum blossoms.
Last night was the first snowfall in early winter. The white snow covered the branches of plum blossoms, hiding the white plums. The red plums were set off beautifully, burning like fire. The beautiful and romantic plum forest. The fresh plum fragrance filled the air. It was refreshing and made people flow. Forget about returning.
Xue Xichen walked alone in the plum forest. She breathed in the fragrant fragrance of plum blossoms. She folded branches and played with them on her fingertips. She stroked the white snow off the branches. Little bits of white snow melted on her fingertips. It was cold and refreshing.
The cold plum blossoms are proud of the snow. The world is romantic.
The plum branches trembled slightly, causing a snowflake to fall. Xue Xichen looked up and was surprised by the person in front of her. "Sixth Prince...why are you here?"
"The Queen can be here, but I, the King, can't be here." Dots of red plum blossoms bloomed on Feng Biqing's fingertips. He gently twisted and played with them. The bright red color was like the blood soaked in his fingertips. For some reason, it snowed. An inexplicable panic arose in Xichen's heart. An ominous premonition arose from the bottom of his heart.
The corner of Xue Xichen's lips raised slightly, hiding the panic in her heart. "The Sixth Prince was joking. The Sixth Prince is good at riding and shooting. I thought the Sixth Prince was teaching hunting in the forest."
Feng Biqing smiled brightly and said calmly: "I don't like riding and shooting. Instead, I like the common things of admiring flowers and listening to the wind."
"Your Majesty is so elegant."
"The Queen is the same."
Xue Xichen smiled. Not wanting to be alone with Feng Biqing, she walked away from Feng Biqing. "Your Majesty, please take your time to enjoy the plum blossoms. I take my leave."
"Xichen, I said that I like you."
The wind blew on the ground, raising the black threads of snow and dust. It swept away the snowflakes on the branches. It also swept down the blood-like plum blossoms. The bright red petals were flying in the air amid the drifting snow. Dots of red plum blossoms. Just like drops of blood spilled on the world. Fresh and dazzling.
"Xichen. I once asked the emperor to marry you, but you refused in public. Now I ask for marriage again. Xichen, please don't refuse me again." Gentle words. Sincere and persistent. Clearly affectionate. However, Xue Xichen felt as if she was being targeted by a poisonous snake. A chill ran down her spine.
Xue Xichen smiled lightly. Her expression was indifferent. There was no palpitations. "The prince is joking. Xue Xichen is dead. Is the prince asking for marriage from a dead person?"
"Xichen. You have to reject me again."
The seemingly disappointing words contained a heart-stopping chill.
"What do you mean by this king? Xue Xichen is dead. How can you say no to rejection? Could it be that the prince wants to dig up Xue Xichen's grave and dig up her body and marry her to a rotten skeleton?"
"Okay. If you don't like others calling you Xichen, I will call you by your real name...Xue Meitong. Tongtong. Back then, I promised that as long as Feng Qingge is moved, I will marry you. .I always remember the promise I made back then. I dare not forget it after so many years. Now, success is close at hand. I am willing to fulfill my promise back then. Tongtong, you are willing to marry."
Xue Xichen didn't answer but asked: "Your Majesty insists on proposing for marriage. Is it just because of Wang Cao's instructions?"
Feng Biqing's eyes were burning and she said seriously: "Of course it's because I like you."
Xue Xichen smiled sarcastically. "A person who can easily tell someone he likes, and how valuable his like can be. Feng Biqing. Back then, Xue Meitong was obsessed with you. Maybe she would be deceived by you. But I... …I don’t like you at all. How could you be so narcissistic in thinking that I would betray Feng Qingge for you?”
"Tongtong, what you said is really hurting my heart." Feng Biqing covered her chest and pretended to be hurt. The murderous intent flashed in her eyes. "Tongtong, you know, what I want. There is nothing you can't get. If I can't get it, I will never let anyone get it even if I destroy her."
Threaten her.
Xue Xichen sneered. "Feng Biqing, Xiao Liuyue can't kill me. Now, is it your turn to kill me?"
Feng Biqing changed her gentle face from before and sneered in the same sinister way. "It's not that Liuyue can't kill you. It's that I'm not willing to kill you. But I'm different."
Xue Xichen glared at Feng Biqing warily. Feng Biqing stood proudly, with murderous intent in her eyes.
Quietly, another gust of wind blew up. In the quiet air, you could hear the sound of petals "chopping" falling to the ground. The gorgeous petals were scattered all over the ground, just like mottled blood.
Quiet... so quiet... strangely quiet... extremely abnormal quiet... just like that day in the sky...
There is an ambush.
At the moment of enlightenment, Xue Xichen jumped up quickly. "Whoops..." A special sharp scream pierced the silent sky. Dozens of white shadows fell from the sky. Each white tights, white hood and mask, perfectly blended into the ice and snow.中.Making it difficult to identify their traces.
They held crossbows in their hands and raised them in the distance towards Xue Xichen.
"Whoosh..."
"Whoosh..."
"Whoosh..."
The bowstring rang loudly, and several arrows were fired in unison, pointing directly at Xue Xichen's vitals. Xue Xichen raised her hand and pulled off her cloak, turning it into a net that quickly rotated. No arrows could get close to her body, and they were all directly involved in the cloak. .
The cloak slowly hung down. Dozens of arrows fell from the cloak. They landed among the white snow and red plum trees. They were bright and dazzling.
"Feng Biqing. Is this your method? It's really... too low-level."
It was too late to say it, but soon. Xue Xichen jumped up and flicked his sleeves. The cold light was as thin as an ox's hair. It came out from the robe and disappeared into the bodies of several assassins. Only "Ah, um, hum." was heard several times. With a low hum, the assassins fell to the ground one after another. Layers of snowflakes splashed with a "bang".
The fresh plum fragrance is mixed with a hint of blood. It becomes more and more pungent. It is not a fresh fragrance, but a strong fragrance. It is sharp and pungent. It makes people sick.
