    At noon, Lin Qingbai was sitting in the hall, while Liang Yaochu was taking his pulse, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

    The knocking on the door was not loud, just knocking lightly.

    Liang Yaochu frowned, removed the hand holding pulse, walked to the door of the hall and opened it.

    A man in guard uniform stood in front of the door, bowed his hands to Liangyao Chu, walked in along the hall door, and knelt down in front of Lin Qingbai.

    "My lord."

    Lin Qingbai leaned forward, saw that it was one of his personal guards, and asked, "What's the matter?"

    The man clasped his hands in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, today General Xi's soldiers attacked the palace, and the common people hated General Xi to the bone. Taking advantage of today's absence of guards in our palace, they formed a civilian army, and now they are attacking our palace.Come here! Also ask the prince to evacuate the palace first, we will do our best to protect the safety of the prince!"

    This matter came urgently, Lin Qingbai frowned, feeling a little strange in his heart, but for a moment he couldn't think of where the strangeness came from, he asked: "How is the situation in the palace?"

    "My lord, the palace is in chaos now, and I don't know the specific situation, so please evacuate with us first!"

    Before Lin Qingbai could speak, Liang Yaochu who was next to her became impatient. She closed the medicine box heavily and said, "Why are you hesitating?! Let's go quickly! Didn't you always want to run away from that lunatic, nowIsn't it a good opportunity, why don't you hurry up?!"

    "...."

    The guard also spoke earnestly: "Yes, my lord, please pack up your things and leave the mansion with us quickly. There are a lot of people in the mansion, and we can rest assured only if your lord is safe! Please pack your things and leave the mansion with us as soon as possible!"

    Lin Qingbai frowned, but still did not speak.

    Liang Yaochu saw through his hesitation, clicked his tongue and said, "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the servants and guards in the palace. Now the people in the capital are messed up by your apprentice.The people of Prince Yun’s Mansion got it and punished them, even if you don’t run away, other people want to run away too, now that you are guarding here, who would dare to leave? Could it be that everyone is going to die here together?!”

    Liang Yaochu's words really hit Lin Qingbai's heart.

    He is a dying person, and now there is no difference whether he stays in the palace or outside, but other people in the palace are different.

    Some of them are young and young, some have families and children, and they can't all die with him in Prince Yun's mansion just because he is alone.

    After a while, Lin Qingbai nodded and said, "Okay."

    Time is urgent, and there is not much time left for Lin Qingbai to pack his things. Hongyue packed some clothes for him, Liang Yaochu rushed to the pharmacy, and brought the medicine that Lin Qingbai would usually use.

    Hongyue put the things in the package on the bed, and asked Lin Qingbai, "My lord, do you have anything else to bring?"

    Lin Qingbai glanced lightly.

    He has always had no requirements in life, and it doesn't matter to him what clothes or things he brings.

    Hongyue just asked tentatively, but she didn't expect that Lin Qingbai looked at those things and said silently: "Wait a minute......"

    He walked to the bookcase, took out a key from the skirt, and opened the lock on the bookcase.

    Hongyue paused the movements of her subordinates, poked her head, curious to see what Lin Qingbai was going to bring.

    Ever since Lin Qingbai fell ill, he didn't care much about anything, and he didn't know what made Lin Qingbai take it with him even if he escaped from the palace.

    Hongyue saw Lin Qingbai take out a small wooden box from the cabinet.

    The box is exquisitely carved and locked, which looks very familiar.

    Hongyue frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly remembered.

    A few years ago, Xi An went to war abroad and would write letters to Lin Qingbai every month.

    All Xinlin Qingbai are placed in this box.

    Even now that the two of them have separated to such a degree that they seem to be strangers, Lin Qingbai still carried out the box, thinking about it all the time.

    Hongyue stood where she was, watching Lin Qingbai walk slowly to the bed, and put the

    Put a small wooden box in the innermost position of all the clothes, turned around and said to Hongyue: "Take this and put it on top of the clothes, don't knock it."

    Hongyue bit her lower lip tightly, and said in a difficult voice: "Yes..."

    This time the action was very fast and covert. In order not to attract attention, Lin Qingbai only took Hongyue, Liang Yaochu, Xiaobai, and a few guards on the trip.

    The carriage was prepared at the back door of the palace.

    As soon as Lin Qingbai walked into the courtyard, he saw Aunt Lian standing at the back door.

    Aunt Lian's eyes were red, as if she had just cried.

    When she saw Lin Qingbai, she handed the cloth bag in Lin Qingbai's hand and said, "My lord, here are the dried fruits I have dried these days. You don't like to drink bitter medicine, so take these with you.When you drink medicine in the future, hold it in your mouth to relieve the bitter taste."

    In the past, Xi'an made these preserved fruits for him, but now Xi'an would not do it anymore, so Aunt Lian took over the job to dry and make preserved fruits for Lin Qingbai.

    Lin Qingbai held the package tightly, and said to Aunt Lian: "Aunt Lian, come with us, if you stay in Prince Yun's Mansion, you may be in danger in the future."

    Aunt Lian raised her hand to touch her tears, she showed a difficult smile to Lin Qingbai and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness. I am already old, and I have served in the palace for half my life. My roots are here, and I don't want to go to other places again.".”

    Lin Qingbai didn't speak for a long time, after a while he nodded and said, "Okay, take care."

    With the help of his servants, Lin Qingbai stepped into the carriage, and Aunt Lian followed behind him, waving her hand and saying to Lin Qingbai, "Your Majesty, take care..."

    The speed of the carriage is getting faster and faster. Gradually, even if Aunt Lian runs, she can't keep up with the speed of the carriage. With red eyes, Aunt Lian tried her best to keep up with the speed of the carriage. She waved at the carriage and said loudly: "My lord,Go farther and never come back!"

    "My lord, take care..."

    It wasn't until the carriage got on the main road and disappeared in front of her eyes that Aunt Lian's tears fell down.

    The carriage staggered in the capital, and the curtains fluttered gently with the wind.

    Indeed, as the guard said, the capital is already in chaos.

    Lin Qingbai looked out along the car curtain, and unconsciously squeezed the car curtain tightly with his fingers.

    From the day when Xi'an got married, he jumped down from the city tower, and Xi'an imprisoned him in the palace. During this month, Lin Qingbai never stepped out of the gate of the mansion again.

    In Lin Qingbai's memory, the capital where he lived for twelve years was prosperous, peaceful, brightly lit, and full of traffic.

    But in today's capital city, the air is filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood, and the ground is covered with mud and blood.

    The gates are closed, and many homeless people are sitting on the side of the street and begging along the street. From this road, there are people crying and wailing. Those people have broken arms and legs, or children who have lost their parents, or children who have lost their parents.Orphans and widows cried loudly in front of the dead body.

    Lin Qingbai couldn't see this, he let go of his hand holding the curtain of the carriage, and sat back in the carriage.

    If before, he was still Prince Yun respected by thousands of people in the palace, he would definitely spend a lot of money to help these poor homeless people.

    But what is he now?

    He is a sycophant who wins in the hearts of the common people and is a fugitive who can't even show his face.

    He couldn't protect himself, he couldn't do anything.

    With his eyes closed tightly, he tried his best not to listen to the heart-piercing cries outside the car.

    Two quarters of an hour later, they arrived at the gate of the city.

    The gate of the city was wide open, Chunshan was still burning, and the fire had not abated. The guards told Lin Qingbai that although Chunshan was burned, there was still a small road behind the city to get out of the city.

    Lin Qingbai didn't care about this.

    Where to go, which way to go, seems to have nothing to do with him.

    He said to the guard: "You guys just watch and go."

    In this way, the carriage passed through the winding path all the way, and continued to move forward. Lin Qingbai swayed on the carriage.

    He was not in good health and couldn't bear the fatigue of such a carriage. After throwing up twice, Liang Yaochu got into the carriage and fed him two pills, and Lin Qingbai fell into a drowsy sleep.

    After walking for two days on the road, they finally arrived at Hua Zhou City on the third day.

    This city is not far from the capital, and it only takes one day and one night to get there on an ordinary journey, but taking care of Lin Qingbai's body, they walked very slowly.

    After arriving in Huazhou City, Hongyue found a good inn and arranged for everyone to live in it.

    As soon as Lin Qingbai arrived at the residence, he lay down on the bed and fell into a drowsy sleep.

    I don't know if it's because of the medicine Liang Yaochu prescribed for him, or because his body has become weaker and weaker recently.

    He sleeps even longer than he is awake every day, and sometimes even falls asleep sitting up.

    Lin Qingbai even suspected that on the day of his death, he might have closed his eyes, and fell asleep so fast that he could never open them again.

    Even if Lin Qingbai falls asleep, he is not peaceful. He always loves to dream, and there are messy things in his dreams, including those years he was in the fairy world, and all the things he experienced when he came down to the mortal world.

    The dream he had today was very strange.

    He dreamed of a bloody battlefield.

    Xi An was sitting on a tall horse, standing in the very center of the battlefield, when suddenly a flying arrow flew past the distant city wall.

    With Xi'an's martial arts skills, he must be able to dodge the flying arrow, but he didn't move.

    Lin Qingbai was shocked, he subconsciously wanted to rush forward to protect Xi An.

    But at this time, Lin Qingbai's body did not obey his orders, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't reach Xi'an's side.

    So Lin Qingbai watched helplessly as the arrow pierced Xi An's shoulder.

    Blood splashes.

    Then another flying arrow pierced Xi An's knee, and another arrow pierced his arm...

    The sound of arrows piercing the sky continued to resound in the air.

    Just like that, they pierced into Xi An's body one by one, Xi An was like an arrow target, motionless without knowing how to resist or dodge.

    Lin Qingbai's heart ached like a knife. He watched Xi An's wounds and wounds pierced by countless arrows. He watched the bright red blood spill out of Xi'an's silver armor, dripping down the horse.dripping on the ground.

    Why not resist?!

    Why not hide?!

    Lin Qingbai wanted to yell out these sounds, but he was so painful that he couldn't even yell out.

    Just like that, the last arrow flew from a distance and pierced straight into Xi An's heart.

    The arrow was so powerful that it directly stabbed Xi An off the horse and fell to the ground.

    Blood flowed down his heart.

     …

    Lin Qingbai suddenly woke up from the dream!

    His heart was beating wildly, almost jumping out of his heart.

    Lin Qingbai sat up with difficulty, leaning against the head of the bed, her palms pressed tightly against her chest, and her knuckles palely grasped the shirt on her chest.

    This burst of palpitations came suddenly, sweat broke out on his forehead, and his mouth was slightly open, panting continuously.

    He hasn't been like this for a long time...

    The last time Xi An had this kind of dream was when Xi An met Xue Beng in Qianzhou. He couldn't sleep at night, and every time he woke up from the dream, his heart was pounding and he couldn't breathe.

    However, the palpitations this time were even worse than before, and even made Lin Qingbai feel as if he was on the verge of death.

    Lin Qingbai's face was pale, and he leaned forward, reaching for the wooden box on the bedside table with trembling fingertips.

    His hands and feet were weak, and he picked up the box with great difficulty, hugged it tightly in his arms, and almost pressed the box into his heart with force.

    I don't know how long it took, but the coolness on the box eased the crazy beating of his heart a lot.

    Lin Qingbai loosened the strength of his hands, leaned against the head of the bed and panted, and the box that was pressed on his heart slid to his abdomen.

    Lin Qingbai's long and slender fingers touched the box, slid across the box inch by inch, and finally landed on the copper lock on the box.

    In the past, Lin Qingbai had nightmares alone at night, and when he couldn't fall asleep, he would always watch

    Read Xi An's letter to him.

    Every letter there can make Lin Qingbai feel Xi An's concern and friendship for him, which is why he treasures it till now.

    But now...

    Lin Qingbai caressed the brass lock with her fingers, then slowly released the lock, and put the box aside.

    The room was a little stuffy, Lin Qing walked slowly to the window with her hands on the bed curtain, and opened it.

    A gust of cold wind blew in, Lin Qingbai looked up at the sky, but saw snow fluttering down from the sky.

    Snowing.

    This is the first snow of the year.

    The snow is not heavy, the night is very dark, and the snowflakes are like silver butterflies, flying with the wind.

    "My lord, please have a meal."

    At this moment, Hongyue gently pushed open the palace door, only to see that Lin Qingbai had already got up.

    Wearing a white underwear, he stood in front of the window like that, looking up at the window in a daze, and didn't even notice that Hongyue had entered the door.

    Today's Lin Qingbai's face is pale, his eyes are like clear springs, and his body is slender. Under the dim light of the room, his appearance looks a little more sickly and weak, which is unbelievable.

    He raised his hand, and a snowflake outside the window fell gently on his fingertips.

    Hongyue was stunned, and she realized after a while, rushed into the room and quickly took off the cloak, and put it on Lin Qingbai's shoulders in a panic.

    "My lord, it's windy outside, how can you stand in front of the window and blow the cold wind in this suit!"

    Lin Qingbai is an uneasy patient.

    When Xi An stayed by his side before, he was still a little obedient, but now no one can control him. Liang Yaochu told him several times and threatened to ignore him anymore, but Lin Qingbai didn't care much.

    The cloak covered his shoulders before Lin Qingbai realized it.

    He gathered the cloak over his shoulders, and said softly, "No problem."

    "It's okay!" Hongyue blushed with anger, she wanted to talk about Lin Qingbai, but she also knew that Liang Yaochu had already preached to him enough, the usual comfort and preaching were not enough for Lin QingIt's useless at all.

    So Hongyue bit her mouth and held back for a long time, when she glanced at Xiaobai who was lying beside her, her eyes flickered.

    She pointed to Xiaobai and said to Lin Qingbai: "My lord, even if you don't care about yourself, you should take a look at it! Xiaobai has also been sick for the past two days. The room is so cold. What should I do if his condition worsens?"

    Hearing that Lin Qingbai really looked away from the window and looked at Xiaobai.

    Xiaobai is already a very old dog, but he has always been in good health.

    The servants in the yard often said that Xiaobai seemed to never grow old, and he was as energetic as when he was picked up back then.

    However, just two days ago, on the day when Xi An attacked the palace, Xiaobai fell ill.

    It doesn't eat or drink, and when it sees people, it doesn't wag its head and tail to meet them, but just lies on the ground without moving.

    Ask Liang Yaochu to take a look, Liang Yaochu said dissatisfiedly that she is not a veterinarian, and then looked around but couldn't find any reason, and the final result was that winter is coming, and the dog is not so energetic.

    Lin Qingbai stared into Xiaobai's eyes, and suddenly he whispered: "Tell me, what is he doing now..."

    "ah?"

    Lin Qingbai's voice was too soft, and Hongyue couldn't hear it clearly, so she raised her voice and asked again: "My lord, what did you say?"

    Lin Qingbai moved his eyes away, shook his head, turned around and closed the window, and didn't say any more.

    In fact, he regretted asking that question.

    In today's capital, there are no more than two outcomes, either he has ascended the throne, or he is still killing people, stepping up the mountain of corpses and blood.

    After all, he has a heavy army in his hands, and according to the current situation in the capital, there is no other possibility.

    Regardless of the outcome, Lin Qingbai didn't want to think about it, nor did he want to know.

    Xu took a nap in the afternoon, but Lin Qingbai didn't feel sleepy that night. After taking the medicine, he lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze, and didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night.

    In the early morning of the next day, at Chen Shi, Lin Qing

    Bai woke up.

    He opened the window, originally wanting to see the snow scene, but accidentally saw the bun shop opposite the inn.

    The shop had just released a pot of steamed stuffed buns, and the white steam was rising, making Lin Qingbai very hungry.

    So for breakfast, he took a group of people out of the inn to eat buns.

    The only advantage of being away from the capital is that few people here know Lin Qingbai.

    Lin Qingbai sat in the shop like an ordinary person, listening to the noise in his ears.

    He has always been a quiet person, but he didn't find it noisy. On the contrary, he felt that such a lively life seemed to be quite good.

    Compared with Lin Qingbai's elegant eating style, Liang Yaochu's eating style is bohemian.

    She took a big bite of the steamed stuffed bun, her mouth was full of oil, and she praised loudly: "The steamed stuffed buns here are so delicious! I've never eaten such delicious steamed stuffed buns in the capital."

    Lin Qingbai smiled, lowered her head and took a sip of soy milk.

    At this moment, two customers who had finished their meal passed behind him, and the two chatted as they walked towards the door of the store.

    "Today, my relative escaped from the capital. It's the cousin I always told you about. Before, he was a decent businessman. When he came here this time, he looked like a beggar!"

    "Really? What's going on in the capital now?"

    "What else can I do? Naturally, it's a mess and the ground is full of corpses, but God is open to it. In the end, I didn't let that dog thief ascend to the throne!"

    "He was taken into prison?"

    "Why was he caught in the prison, he died! He was shot through the heart by thousands of arrows! This happened two days ago, so relieve yourself! According to me, he deserves it, he has committed so many murders... …”

    Lin Qingbai didn't hear what was said next.

    He sat there fixedly, with only sharp tinnitus in his ears, which pierced his headache, and he couldn't hear anything else.

    "My lord!"

    "My lord!"

    Liang Yaochu looked anxious, raised her hand and waved fiercely in front of his eyes, Lin Qingbai came back to her senses after waking up from a dream.

    "What's wrong with you? Isn't the soy milk hot?!" Liang Yaochu asked.

    Lin Qingbai spilled the hot soybean milk in his hand, which burned his fair skin red, but Lin Qingbai seemed to be unable to feel it, holding the cup tightly with his hand, almost giving the cup to him.Crushed.

    "Who died..."

    Lin Qingbai asked in a trembling voice.

    Liang Yaochu didn't know what happened at all, frowned and said, "Who died?"

    Lin Qingbai did not answer Liang Yaochu's words, he stood up abruptly, rushed to the person who spoke just now, grabbed the person's hand, and asked with red eyes: "You said just now, who was killed by Wan Jian?"Heart piercing?!"

    "Who's dead?!"
