Chapter 92: The Sudden Appearance of Spring Light and Ghostly Shadows

  A snow-white ermine fur coat, a pale and worried face, a thin body...

  "Huh? Isn't that Sixth Brother? Uh..."

  Upon seeing the slender and refined man over there, although it had been eight years since they last met, Yang Lie still recognized at a glance that the slender man was his sixth younger brother, Yang Wei Chen.

  However, when he finished speaking, he immediately noticed Xun's face suddenly clouding over, so he immediately withdrew his gaze and fell silent.

  Jing Xuan's gaze retracted, and she shot Jing Yang Lie a fierce glance, her red lips pursed in discontent.

  Yuanyang Lie took one look and knew what was going on.

  Although the Sixth Prince was also his half-brother, they had met only a handful of times. Moreover, they didn't have any fraternal bond with the Sixth Prince, especially since he had that kind of mother...

  Jing Yang Lie still remembered that his mother had died early, and he was taken in by his father to be raised by Jing Xiao Ran's mother, Yu Fei.

  Because he and Tianqi are of similar age, they also played together, and their feelings for each other have been like this since childhood.

  Later, the mother of the sixth prince suddenly said that she had found her long-lost son, but soon after, she framed and harmed Xuan Tianqi, who had not yet been established as the crown prince.

  The Emperor found out about this matter and ordered a thorough investigation. As a result, not only was the incident uncovered, but also the fact that the sixth prince's mother had plotted to kill Xun Yan when he was still in his mother's womb.

  However, Rou Fei, who was the mother of the sixth prince, was indeed unlucky. At that time, she had tried to frame Tian Qi and poison Zhen Chao Chen, but instead ended up harming her own son. That night, after being beaten by the emperor and sent to the cold palace, she took her own life.

  Perhaps because of the relationship with such an empress, the emperor was even more unwilling to see that cold and poisonous sixth prince. In the end, he was sent to another courtyard, although every year things would be sent over, not humiliating him, after all, he was his own child. However, apart from material things, the emperor had never gone to visit the sixth prince.

  Now Jingyang is thinking, I don't know if Father Emperor still remembers that there is such a sickly son outside.

  After all, it was him. If I hadn't seen him today, I would have completely forgotten that I still had a sixth brother recovering from illness in the other courtyard of White Feather Town!

  In his mind, Yang Lie thought back to the memories and suddenly looked back, but didn't think much more about it. Looking at Xing again, he had already withdrawn his gaze, only with a cold expression in his eyes, knowing that he was unwilling to mention this sixth brother's affairs again. After all, the sixth brother's mother almost killed him when he was still in her womb.

  "Seventh brother, let's go! I heard that the people from Luoshen Pavilion are nearby. This time we must catch all these despicable rats in one net!"

  That's right, it's a mouse!

  What can hide is not a mouse!？

  Since the last time he received news that the headquarters of Luocha Pavilion was here, he and Xing Xiao Ran were searching for Han Xi Tong on one side, while also searching for news about Luocha Pavilion.

  After all, they dared to assassinate them, and Luo Ye's anger was unbearable! Moreover, he still had to avenge that one sword!

  On the other side, Xing Xiao Ran's phoenix eyes flickered when she heard Xing Yang Lie's words and nodded in response.

  They immediately turned around and ran in the opposite direction of the square.

  However, they did not know that the person they had been searching for a long time was blocked by Qingyu and Xingchen.

  This mistake, I don't know if it's heaven's arrangement or they have affinity but are destined to be apart...

  ……

  As it was already late at night, Han Xi and her companions found a relatively luxurious inn nearby to stay for the night.

  "Yunlai Guesthouse" is a pretty good name for an inn. And the construction inside the guesthouse is also quite upscale.

  The first floor of the inn is a hall, where everyone eats and consumes. The second floor of the inn has some elegant rooms, which are naturally more expensive than the first floor. The third floor of the inn is where the guest rooms are located, provided for guests to stay in!

  When Han Xi Tong and the others arrived at the inn, there were still a few tables sitting on the first floor of the inn. It was obvious that they had just finished watching the acrobatic troupe and were hungry, so they came here to have a midnight snack.

  The shopkeeper immediately raised a professional smile when he saw Han Xi Tong and the others entering, and quickly came over to greet them.

  "Which of you gentlemen is dining or lodging?"

  "Give us three superior rooms and one standard room. Also, prepare some delicious midnight snacks in the second-floor suite."

  Han Xi Tong said to the shopkeeper, "After all, we've been playing for a whole day and everyone is both tired and hungry."

  The shopkeeper immediately shouted "Good!" after hearing Han Xi Tong's words, and then led the crowd to the second floor's elegant room, where he had prepared a lot of midnight snacks.

  After everyone had eaten their fill, they each returned to their rooms to bathe and rest.

  Because it is a high-end house, consumption is not low, so the room's measures are much higher than ordinary rooms outside. Bajie

  Han Xi Tong bid farewell to everyone and returned to her room. She had someone prepare hot water for her, intending to take a bath before going to sleep.

  After all, I walked a lot today, although it's cold and didn't sweat much, but taking a hot bath is still more comfortable for a good sleep.

  Before long, two shop assistants worked together to carry over a large wooden bucket filled with hot water. Under Han Xi's generous tip, they left smiling and laughing.

  This room is very nostalgic and has everything you need for daily life.

  Moreover, there is also a stove in the room.

  The fire burning vigorously in the fireplace at this moment makes the room warm and cozy.

  After the room was left with only one person, Han Xi's eyes came to the back of the screen. There, a bathtub filled with hot water had been placed. Next to it was a small bottle of rose essential oil.

  Han Xi Tong first poured all the rose essential oil into the water, tested the water temperature, and then took off his clothes one by one.

  She then pulled up all her raven-black and smooth long hair, and slowly submerged her entire body in the warm water with swirling mist.

  Feeling the warm water permeate throughout her body, it was as if even her pores were being activated, causing Han Xi Tong to involuntarily let out a comfortable sigh.

  Especially the faint scent of roses smelled between her nose was her favorite fragrance.

  She usually doesn't like to apply perfume or lipstick, but she likes to take a rose petal bath. However, because the winter conditions don't allow it, there are no fresh roses, so she can only use rose essential oil instead.

  Now, relaxing her whole body, smelling the faint osmanthus fragrance in her nose, Han Xi's whole body felt comfortable. She soaked in the bathtub for a long time, knowing that the water was almost cool, before reluctantly getting up from the bathtub.

  Originally, Han Xi Tong had planned to get dressed and rest immediately after getting up, but who would have thought that just as she stepped out of the bathtub, before she could even put her clothes back on, there was a loud "bang" sound, seemingly someone breaking through the window and jumping in.

  Because it happened suddenly, Han Xi's eyes hadn't reacted yet, and she had already seen the originally closed window being suddenly pushed open from the outside. If she hadn't forgotten just now, this was the third floor...

  As she stood there in a daze, she saw a man dressed entirely in black follow the open window and leap in, quickly closing the window behind him before turning to look at her.

  The man in black made all his moves almost in an instant, and Han Xi's eyes didn't even have time to react. Especially when he saw that familiar face, he was like a thunderbolt on the ground, stiffening on the spot.

  "Is it you?!"

  Han Xi's eyes widened in surprise, her small mouth agape as she stared at the black-clad man who had suddenly jumped into the room through the window and let out a cry of alarm.

  The room was lit with silk lanterns, illuminating the entire space to about 70 or 80 percent brightness.

  The dim yellow light was even more softly sprinkled on the man's body, making his figure more and more tall and straight.

  He was dressed in a black outfit, mysterious and sleek, outlining his athletic physique like a panther. His jet-black long hair was tied back with a black hairband, accentuating the sternness and coldness of his face.

  Her facial features were as delicate as if carved by a ghostly axe, and her three-dimensional perfection was stunning. However, that excessively pale complexion, like lips stained with frost, looked even more terrifying!

  There is also a bloody smell spreading rapidly in the air, and everything shows that the person who came was injured!

  At this, Han Xi's eyes widened in shock.

  Compared to Han Xi Tong's astonishment, the ghostly figure on the other side was equally shocked. When he saw the scene in front of him, after being stunned, his originally deep and narrow eagle eyes were even more dyed with a strong sense of wonder!

  A head of raven-black and smooth three thousand blue silk was casually coiled behind the brain, revealing that slender sensitive neck and collarbone.

  Further down is a perfect fiery figure that can make all the men in the world look at it, and they will all have a nosebleed, their desires burning wildly!

  Her limbs are slender and long, her waist is like a willow, her legs are smooth and straight, her three-inch golden lotus feet are so delicate and exquisite that one can't help but want to hold them in their hands and caress them.

  And then there's the snow-white skin on her chest, radiant and flawless...

  The most tempting thing is still that face full of water droplets and tender pink skin.

  Her face is not yet painted with rouge, her skin is as white as snow, her eyebrows are like distant mountains of ink, her eyes are sparkling, her nose is small and delicate, a slightly opened pair of lips, charming and enchanting...

  Such a stunning beauty, with an enchanting and alluring figure, and a captivating aura, deeply enticing him!

  After all, he had always known she was beautiful, but what he didn't know was that she could be so stunningly beautiful that it would take his breath away!

  His heart was as if it had been struck by a huge hammer, his heartbeat suddenly lost its normal rhythm, and the intense heartbeat "thumped" wildly, as if it were about to burst out of his chest...

  This feeling, so strange and unfamiliar, left him at a loss, making him forget everything, only able to stand there stiffly, staring straight ahead at this enchantress, his eyes not even blinking once, afraid that what he saw in front of him was just an illusion.

  After all, this is not the first time it has happened. Since he fell into the river and was rescued by this little woman in front of him, his mind has often been filled with memories of being with her, her every smile and frown deeply etched in his heart.

  As time went by, it was never forgotten, but instead became clearer and more nostalgic, thinking of her and looking forward to meeting her again.

  But she vanished into thin air, and he had been searching for her for a long time. Today, he finally got news of her and knew that she would appear in the market, so he immediately rushed here just to see her once.

  Who knew that what he saw was not only her, but also two handsome men standing on either side of her, which made him burn with anger.

  What infuriated him most was that at this moment, those two men who were as tough as toffee and made people feel disgusted discovered him.

  Because of the last assassination failure, those two royal people thoroughly stuck to him.

  He also knew that during this period of time, those two people kept sending people to look for Luo Xie's whereabouts.

  He didn't take those two seriously at all, so he had someone spread false information and fooled them around.

  After that time, he was seriously injured. Even with the best medicine, it would take a long time to recover from his illness. He didn't want to come out and fight hard with them. Originally, he planned to stay in the pavilion to nurse his injuries first.

  But as soon as he received her message, he couldn't stay any longer.

  There has always been a surge of impulse in my heart, as if there is a voice constantly shouting inside.

  Want to see her, want to see her...

  It was because of this impulse that he came out regardless of the consequences, and in the end, he was discovered by those two people. In the end, he still used all his strength to rush here, because he knew she was here, so he came...

  However, he never thought that when he came here, he finally saw her, and what's more, it was a thorough look, eating fruit...

  In his mind, the eagle's eyes reflected a beautiful and stunning creature, and the more he looked, the more he felt that all the blood in his body was about to boil over.

  A surge of heat kept emerging from his body, and his nose felt hot. He only felt that something was flowing out of his nose, hot and red...

  Seeing the stunning heat in Gui Mie's eyes and the nosebleed flowing from her nose, Han Xi finally came back to his senses, and immediately realized his situation, his face changing.

  "Pervert, don't look!"

  Her red lips parted, Han Xi's eyes widened in surprise and she immediately reached for the clothes she had just taken off and quickly put them back on.

  But upon hearing Han Xi Tong's cry of surprise, Gui Mei Jun's face turned pale, he was stunned for a moment before responding with an 'oh', and immediately obediently turned his body around, truly not daring to look at Han Xi Tong again.

  After Han Xi Tong put on her clothes, she looked at Gui Mei who was still facing away from her and raised an eyebrow.

  He actually turned around and left, this man is really obedient.

  But before Han Xi could say anything, she saw the man who was originally standing with his back to her. His straight body suddenly swayed like a tree blown down by a strong wind, took a step forward, and fell straight down...

  "Hello..."

  At this, Han Xi's eyes narrowed and she quickly stepped forward, stretching out both hands to support the man who was about to fall. However, she didn't know that this man was so heavy that not only could she not hold him up, but she was instead pressed down to the ground by him, becoming a human cushion.

  "Cough cough, damn it, you're so heavy..."

  Upon hearing Han Xi Tong's words, Gui Mei merely curled up the corners of her lips, conjuring a weak and bitter smile, and said faintly.

  "Sorry, I'm really... so tired..."

  After finishing speaking, Eagle's eyes closed and he immediately fainted.

  "Asshole, wake up."

  Seeing Gui Mei's tightly closed eyes, Han Xi's eyes were somewhat helpless and annoyed. Her eyebrows furrowed, gritting her teeth as she said.

  If possible, she really wanted to kick him away with one foot.

  But when Han Xi suddenly felt the smell of blood in her nose becoming thicker, she woke up with a start, and this man was seriously injured.

  Han Xi thought about it and let out a helpless sigh, resigned to her fate. She first pushed the man off of her, then slowly moved him onto the bed.

  Looking at the man she had helped onto the bed, his face was familiar yet so strange, and his pale complexion made Han Xi's emotions complicated.

  Why is it that every time I meet him, he's always so disheveled? And also, who knows if in the past life she owed him something, and this life is just to repay the debt...

  Not thinking too much, Han Xi's eyes simply focused on the man's chest which was already stained with blood and wet.

  After opening his clothes, he was shocked to find that his body was covered with wounds of all sizes.

  Although these wounds are not as severe as last time's eye injury, there are a lot of them.

  One after another bloody scar on his ancient bronze chest crisscrossed, it was terrifying! It also made Han Xi's eyes involuntarily take a deep breath of cold air.

  Even if these wounds are not fatal, they will still bleed to death if not properly treated!

  Han Xi's eyes quickly walked out of the room, instructing the shopkeeper to prepare knife wound medicine and gauze warm water. And let the shopkeeper not spread it around.

  After all, she didn't know what the man inside was doing, every time she met him, he was covered in scars, and she didn't know if his enemy was nearby, so she didn't dare to take risks.

  Although he has a face that is exactly the same as Cheng Wei's, he is still not Cheng Wei, and no matter what, she doesn't want him to die...

  While the shopkeeper was listening to Han Xi's orders, although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't dare ask anything and quickly prepared everything for Han Xi before retreating.

  After bringing everything back to the room, Hanhee quickly took off the man's clothes.

  Perhaps it was because of a past experience, so this time it went more smoothly. Adding to the fact that the man was currently unconscious, Han Xi first used warm water to wet a towel and wipe away the bloodstains on his body, then applied golden wound medicine to his wounds, and finally wrapped him up completely with gauze.

  Because the man's wounds were too numerous, when Han Xi wrapped all his wounds after treating him, he had already collapsed from exhaustion.

  My hands are sore and my eyelids keep twitching, almost as if they're about to fight each other.

  After stretching out her hand and yawning, Han Xi's eyes became blurry in front of her, and then suddenly darkened, before she fell into a deep sleep...

  Until then, sleeping until midnight, Han Xi's eyes were awakened by the sound that kept coming from her ears.

  She had been walking around the streets all day and was already very tired. In the end, she even helped the ghostly figure bandage his wounds, which was a big task. At that time, she was so tired that she just wanted to lie down and sleep comfortably like a dog.

  So when she was sleeping soundly, it seemed like there was a bee buzzing in her ear, making Han Xi want to slap it away with one palm.

  However, in her heart, Han Xi Tong had also done the same thing.

  Her small hand was raised high, and she slapped heavily towards the source of the sound. However, just as her small hand was about to fall, suddenly, Han Xi's eyes widened as if she had thought of something, her hand stiffened for a moment, and her sleepy eyes opened wide in an instant.

  All of a sudden, along with that dim candlelight, a magnified version of a handsome face appeared right in front of one's eyes.

  Sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, straight nose and thin lips. This face was so familiar that Han Xi's eyes widened in surprise for a moment, as if time had reversed and she had returned to the past.

  Until then, the man in front of her kept opening and closing his lips, and a weak hum kept coming out of his mouth, causing Han Xi's eyes to frown involuntarily.

  "Cold, so cold..."

  "Cold? You shouldn't be?"

  When she heard the ghost's words, Han Xi immediately stretched out her small hand to touch the ghost's forehead, feeling his scorching temperature, which made Han Xi's heart jump and her eyes widen.

  "Damn it, you have a fever!"

  "Cold, so cold..."

  At Han Hui's exclamation, the man did not hear it, only to see that he was unconscious at this moment, just repeating that word over and over again. Moreover, his whole body was trembling, like yellow leaves on tree branches being blown by strong winds, even if he was covered with thick quilts, he still saw the quilt that was not properly covered.

  At this point, Han Xi's eyebrows were furrowed, almost forming a '川' character.

  Just thinking about asking the shopkeeper for some antipyretics and whatnot, who knew that just as I was about to get up, my waist suddenly tightened.

  I felt a strong hand grasping my waist tightly, and my legs were immediately pressed down by a pair of long and powerful thighs. The force, the posture, it seemed like he was treating me as his pillow in public!

  At this, Han Xi's eyes were extremely speechless, and a few invisible black lines slid down his forehead...

  And just now, she had fallen asleep without feeling anything, but being held so tightly by the other person, and the scorching temperature emanating from their body, even through their clothes, still transmitted to her body, making Han Xing's heart move suddenly...

  Although at this moment, she really wanted to kick him away, but looking at the man's pale and weak face, he had lost his usual cold demeanor, his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, seemingly in great pain.

  Thin lips kept opening and closing, the breath sprayed from the nose was so hot, spraying directly on her ear, making her ears involuntarily hot...

  Although she knew he was unintentional, it thoroughly stirred up the calm lake in her heart, making Han Xi's eyes feel like an overturned five-flavor bottle, with all sorts of flavors rising to her mind...

  Why, when she was about to forget that unbearable past, he appeared in her life like a lingering ghost. Is this a doomed fate or do they really have a destined connection?
