The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering

"Do you know where the Marquis has gone?"

When she asked this question, Wang Miaomiao was thinking that Chen Zuizhi might have gone out early in the morning to pay New Year greetings.

Unexpectedly, the concierge said, "I don't know where the Marquis went with Miss Yun's urn."

what?

Wang Miaomiao was shocked.

Did Chen Zui leave the Hou Mansion holding Yun Musheng's urn?

This means that it is absolutely impossible for Chen Zui to go to pay New Year's greetings. On the festive day of the New Year, no one will welcome Chen Zui to his home carrying the urn.

Wang Miaomiao couldn't figure out Chen Zui's intention for a while.

During the New Year period, Chen Zui did a lot of strange things.

The first is to collect all the portraits of Yun Musheng, and the second is to take Yun Musheng's ashes out on New Year's Day.

What is he going to do?

Wang Miaomiao couldn't figure it out. She was very anxious now and wanted to find Chen Zui immediately.

She immediately got on the carriage and asked the driver to take her to Yun Shangshu's Mansion.

Maybe Chen Zui went to the Yun family?

Others don't welcome Yun Musheng's urn, but the Yun family will definitely welcome it.

When they arrived at Yun's house successfully, Wang Miaomiao did not say that her real intention was to find Chen Zui, but walked in on the pretext of paying New Year's greetings.

I met Yun Musheng's father and mother at Yun's house. She lost her only daughter in middle age. Yun Musheng's mother shed tears and lost weight.

Yun Shangshu is not much better. Yun Musheng is his most beloved daughter. He has grown up doting on her like the apple of his eye. Now that he has lost his daughter, Yun Shangshu has aged more than ten years in an instant.

In Shangshu Mansion, Wang Miaomiao met Gu Wangshu.

Gu Wangshu asked her in confusion: "Why did you suddenly think of paying New Year greetings to my aunt and uncle? Or did you say you came to me specially?"

Wang Miaomiao shook her head: "None of them."

"why?"

"I'm here to see Chen Zui."

Gu Wangshu was stunned: "Isn't Chen Zu in the Hou Mansion?"

Wang Miaomiao looked depressed: "The concierge of the Hou Mansion said that he went out early in the morning holding Yun Musheng's ashes."

Speaking of this, the worry on her face became more and more obvious.

"I was worried that something happened to him, so I went out to look for him, but I didn't know where he went."

"Gu Wangshu, do you think something will happen to him?"

Gu Wangshu was also very confused, where could Chen go most on New Year's Day?

The weather was not good today and it was snowing all the time. What on earth was he going to do?

"Don't worry, Chen Zui always acts calmly. Maybe he has something important to do."

Wang Miaomiao was still worried.

What was the important matter that he had to bring Yun Musheng's urn with him?

Wang Miaomiao's heart was in a state of confusion. She didn't want to stay in Yun Mansion for a long time, and planned to go out and look for it.

Gu Wangshu also wants to go with her, but today is the first day of the new year, and she has to accompany her aunt and uncle. The two of them have been in a bad mood since they lost Yun Musheng.

"It's snowing heavily outside, be careful."

"okay, I get it."

Wang Miaomiao left Yun Mansion after agreeing and began to search for Chen Zui's whereabouts in Yong'an City.

As the carriage drove along Taiping Street, she looked left and right.

The shops on both sides of the road were closed, looking stunned.

There are occasional pedestrians on the road, also visiting relatives and friends to pay New Year greetings.

She has never seen Chen's slimmer figure.

In this way, the carriage arrived at the city gate.

The coachman said: "Miss, it's the end, shall we go back?"

Wang Miaomiao hesitated and said, "Go and ask the soldiers guarding the city if they saw Lord Chen leaving the city."

The groom took the order, got off the carriage and walked towards the city gate. When he got closer, he first greeted several soldiers with a smile and greeted them with New Year greetings. After receiving the responses from the soldiers, he asked: "Excuse me, sir, did Mr. Chen Hou leave the city early this morning?" "

"Yes, Lord Chen rode out of the city gate. Do you have anything to do with Lord Chen?"

The groom nodded: "Yes, yes, I have something to do with Lord Marquis."

He muttered a few words casually, then turned to report to Wang Miaomiao.

When she heard that Chen Zui had indeed left the city, Wang Miaomiao's heart became even more anxious.

She always had a bad feeling, as if if she didn't find Chen Zui quickly, they would never meet again.

"Hurry, get out of the city quickly." She urged impatiently.

The coachman knew that his young lady cared about Chen Zui very much, so he did not dare to delay at all and immediately drove the carriage out of the city.

It was very inconvenient to travel in heavy snow, so the people in the city did not go out of the city.

Outside the city, there is a blanket of snow, turning into a white world.

The road outside the city has long been covered with white snow, with only the mark of a horse's hoof extending from the city gate into the distance.

As the snow continued to fall, the marks of the horse's hooves were almost covered up.

Wang Miaomiao knew that the mark of the horse's hoof must have been left by Chen Zui.

"Follow the horse's hoof prints closely," she told the groom.

As long as the mark of the horse's hoof is still there, she can successfully find Chen Zui.

Wang Miaomiao just hoped that the snow would fall a little less and not completely cover up the horse's hoof prints. Otherwise, she really wouldn't know where to find Chen Zui.

The groom drove the carriage forward, and Wang Miaomiao was furious inside the carriage.

But it was useless to be anxious. She lifted the curtain of the car window and kept staring at the horseshoe marks in front of her.

As the snow falls, the horseshoe prints ahead become shallower and shallower.

Moreover, because it had snowed heavily all night, there was almost a foot of snow outside the city.

The carriage couldn't go any faster, as almost half of the wheels were stuck in the snow.

After walking for a whole stick of incense, we had only gone two miles.

Wang Miaomiao was anxious and angry.

"Chen Zui, you bastard, didn't you promise that you would wait for me at the house today to pay New Year's greetings?"

"You big liar, what on earth are you doing out of the city with such heavy snow?"

Wang Miaomiao's eyes were red with anxiety.

The carriage became slower and slower, and finally, no matter how hard the horse pulled, the carriage could no longer move forward.

Queen Snow, the resistance is too great and the horse can't pull it.

"Miss, what should I do?" the groom asked.

How to do?

Wang Miaomiao didn't know what to do.

With such heavy snow, if something unexpected happened to Chen Zui, wouldn't he freeze to death in the snow?

Wang Miaomiao's mind suddenly changed and she immediately ordered: "Untie the horse from the carriage."

"Miss, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to find Chen Zui on horseback."

The groom was frightened.

"Miss, this can't be done. You are a noble person. If something unexpected happens, I can't afford it."

How could Wang Miaomiao have so much control?

She was worried to death about Chen Zui, and she was also afraid that Chen Zui would have an accident.

"You can untie it if I ask you to. Where did all the nonsense come from? Didn't you even listen to what I said?"

"But......"

"There's nothing wrong with it. If you don't untie it, then I will go find Chen Zui even if I have to leave."

The groom was forced by Wang Miaomiao and had no choice but to do as he was told.

He untied the horse, Wang Miaomiao got on the horse and rode away quickly.

The groom was stamping his feet anxiously on the spot. In the end, he was really worried that something might happen to Wang Miaomiao, so he could only quickly return to the city to find someone for help.

Wang Miaomiao was riding on the horse, the cold wind howling, shaving her face like a knife.

The heavy snow hit her face, it was freezing cold, and the biting cold made her tremble all over.

The snow melted quickly when it met her warm skin, but was frozen by the cold air and became ice on her face.

After a while, Wang Miaomiao's face became extremely pale.

Even so, she never gave up looking for Chen Zui.

Where will Chen go back?

Could he have gone to the temple again?

With this glimmer of hope, Wang Miaomiao went straight to the temple.

As the snow on the ground became thicker and thicker, the horses became tired from running, huffing and puffing, and the hot breath they exhaled turned into white mist in seconds when it encountered the cold air.

The horse's speed slowed down.

Finally, she slowly moved forward, but Wang Miaomiao still had no intention of giving up.

The distance from the city gate to the temple was more than 20 miles, and it took her two hours to get there.

The temple was halfway up the mountain. She stood at the foot of the mountain and looked up, and found that all the steps were covered with snow.

Wang Miaomiao got off her horse and began to fumble for the steps up the mountain.

Hesitant and anxious, she walked very fast, wishing she could reach the top of the mountain in one step.

She kicked deeper and deeper, not daring to stop for a moment. Even though her tired heart was about to jump out of her mouth, and her nose and throat were stinging from breathing the cold air, she kept climbing.

However, after climbing about 20 steps, her feet suddenly slipped and she fell forward uncontrollably.

Wang Miaomiao screamed and fell on the steps.

His hands were inserted into the snow, and the pain was piercingly cold.

His knees also hit the steps, as if his bones were about to break.

Her body was lying in the snow, and the snow splashed all over her face. She was shivering from the cold and tears flowed out.

"Asshole, Chen Zui, you bastard, it's all your fault."

She came from a good background and had never suffered any setbacks. However, after meeting Chen Sui, the trajectory of her life changed dramatically.

If she had not fallen in love with Chen Zui, given her identity and status, the Queen Mother's aunt and the emperor's cousin would definitely betroth her to a young talent. After she got married, her husband's family would never dare to give her the slightest bit of resentment.

She will be the matron of a household, have children, and live her whole life just like her mother did.

But she fell in love with Chen Zui, a person she shouldn't have liked, and her life was destined to be different from before.

She understood that the feeling of being rejected was angry and unwilling. Seeing Yun Musheng being favored by Chen Zhi, she understood that the feeling of jealousy and jealousy was unbearable.

After Yun Musheng's death, she thought she finally had a chance to get close to Chen Zui, but in the end she discovered that Chen Zui's feelings were heavy even for her.

She had never thought that she could throw away all her jealousy and unwillingness and sincerely like the person she likes to be happy. Even if he lived by imagining Yun Musheng, she would be happy for him.

She doesn't ask for much, she just hopes that Chen Zui is alive and that she can go to the Hou Mansion to see him occasionally. It's that simple.

However, at this moment, Wang Miaomiao suddenly felt that such a simple wish was about to be lost.

The bad premonition was getting deeper and deeper, and she was very afraid that something would happen to him.

The uneven steps hurt her. She lay on the snow and it took her a long time to recover.

Enduring the pain as if her bones were falling apart, Wang Miaomiao continued to climb up the mountain. When she got tired, she hunched over and climbed up bit by bit.

"Chen Zui——"

She kept calling his name, her voice echoing in the deserted mountains, but she received no response from anyone.

"Chen Zui, are you here? If you are, can you say something?"

"..."

No one answered, and Wang Miaomiao became more and more frightened.

Her cheeks, ears and hands were all red from the cold, and she seemed to be unable to feel the cold anymore and was numb from the cold.

The wind in the mountains was so strong that it wanted to roll her off the mountainside.

She could only lower her center of gravity and move up the mountain little by little.

It took her an hour to get up halfway up the mountain and reach the temple.

The huge ancient temple looks very deserted today.

The snow was swept away, but soon another layer fell.

Wang Miaomiao staggered towards the main hall, but when she arrived at the main hall, she found that there was no one inside.

All Wang Miaomiao's hopes were shattered at this moment, and a shattered mirror became torn into pieces.

not there?

He's not here!

Where did Chen Zui go?

Did she think wrong?

Chen Zong has never been to the temple at all?

Wang Miaomiao seemed to have had half of her strength drained from her body. She fell to the ground with a plop and started to cry.

Her cries startled the monks in the temple.

Someone came up to her and asked: "This female donor, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Miaomiao cried and said, "I can't find Chen Zui. I don't know where he went. Do you know?"

"Is the Chen Zui the donor mentioned a tall and thin man?"

Hearing these words, Wang Miaomiao's eyes suddenly lit up.

She raised her head suddenly and looked at the monk beside her.

"Have you seen him?"

The monk nodded: "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it coincides with heavy snowfall. He was the only one who came to the temple to offer incense, so the young monk was very impressed by him."

Wang Miaomiao couldn't care less about being sad, she quickly stood up and asked anxiously: "Then where is he now?"

The monk was a little embarrassed: "He left after offering incense. The young monk didn't know where he went."

Wang Miaomiao felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

gone?

"How long has he been gone?"

"Less than an hour."

"It's impossible. It took me more than an hour to climb up from the mountain. If he came down during this period, we would definitely meet him, but I didn't meet him at all."

"Are you lying to me? Tell me quickly, where is Chen Zui? If I find out that you hid Chen Zui in the temple, I will never be done with you."

The monk clasped his hands together and said, "Monks don't tell lies. How could I deliberately deceive the girl? The man has indeed left, but he did not go to the front mountain, but to the back mountain."

The word "back mountain" kept echoing in Wang Miaomiao's mind.

What on earth is Chen Zui going to do?

She ignored the monk and ran towards the back mountain in a hurry.

There is also a way out of the back mountain, but the steps on the back mountain are not paved with bluestone slabs like the front mountain.

The road at the back of the mountain was not specially treated, but as more people walked, it slowly became a winding path.

This path was covered entirely with snow, but to Wang Miaomiao's surprise, traces of people walking through it could be seen faintly on the snow.

Chen Zui left here as expected.

Wang Miaomiao was extremely excited and quickly set foot on the snow-covered path.

The shoes on her feet had long been trampled on the snow, and a lot of snow got into the shoes.

The snow melted and turned into water due to the temperature on her feet. Her feet were already wet, and her shoes were also wet. The surface of her shoes was frozen and the chill spread from her feet upwards.

Wang Miaomiao's feet were so cold that they were numb. She could barely feel her feet as she could only move forward mechanically.

But she couldn't control this. She just wanted to find Chen Zui as soon as possible and ask him what he wanted to do.

The lower road is very difficult and slippery. If you are not careful, you will slip.

Wang Miaomiao could only move down the mountain cautiously, but no matter how careful she was, she would miss the mark.

She felt like the world was spinning, and she fell to the ground, rolling in the snow.

Wang Miaomiao didn't even have time to scream, she had already rolled out for more than ten meters, and finally stopped when her body hit a tree trunk beside the road.

This collision hit her right in the lower back, and her waist seemed to be broken.

She lay on the ground breathing heavily, tears falling down, but she couldn't make any sound.

She was weak and helpless. As she breathed, the snow on the ground entered her mouth, choking her and almost suffocating.

Wang Miaomiao squirmed a little, feeling a terrible pain in her back.

In such an icy and snowy day, if she fell down here and never got up, she would freeze to death in just half a day.

Wang Miaomiao's body felt so cold, and her heart was sinking a little bit.

The white light of the snow was so dazzling that she couldn't see clearly for a while.

She closed her eyes and tried to calm her breathing, telling herself that it was okay, it was just a fall and she would not die.

After about half a cup of tea, her breathing finally stabilized, and the pain in her back got slightly better. She didn't dare to delay any longer, so she stood up and walked down the mountain again.

I was more careful this time, but even so I almost fell down a few times.

Wang Miaomiao was so frightened that she finally got down the mountain safely after losing all her strength.

But when they got to the bottom of the mountain, they still didn't see where Chen Zui was.

Wang Miaomiao was furious and cursed in the air, but still got no response.

She cried angrily again, her good little face was no longer as fair and smooth as usual, but red, and there were many scratches from falling.

She stood there, not knowing where to go for a moment.

Should we go around from the back mountain to the front mountain and then return the same way?She was unwilling to give in.

Moreover, she felt that if Chen Zui wanted to go home, there was no need to go through the back mountain, so he would definitely not go home.

Wang Miaomiao thought for a moment and decided to continue walking into the mountains.

She has never traveled such a long way, she has never been as bold as she is now, and she has never known that she can be so strong.

There was only one thought in her mind, which was to find Chen Zui as soon as possible. She wanted to ask him, what on earth was he going to do?

The road leading into the mountains is even more difficult. It can be said that there is no road at all.

The ground beneath our feet was covered with old weeds, very thick.

The weeds were covered with thick snow. She stepped on them and her whole leg sank in. The weeds and snow directly touched her waist.

At this moment, Wang Miaomiao didn't know where she got the courage to continue moving forward.

The lower body from the waist down was completely covered in snow. It felt like being soaked in water full of ice in the middle of winter.

If it weren't for her persistence, she would have lost the motivation to move forward.

The obsession to find Chen Zui defeated the cold and resistance. She walked and walked, not knowing how far she had gone.

Everything around her was white, and she was lost in the mountains.

"Chen Zui——" she shouted.

The sound echoed in the valley, causing the snow on the mountain to fall down, and the hood fell on Wang Miaomiao's head.

Wang Miaomiao was so frightened that she no longer dared to shout.

She pressed her pale and chapped lips tightly, coaxing her eyes to continue moving forward.

I was worried about Chen Zui, but also kept scolding Chen Zui.

This bastard bastard, when she met him in this life, she was in trouble for eight lifetimes.

I didn't get any attention at all, and I was often almost pissed off by him.

Now, because of Chen Zui, she has caused so many scars in Shanghai that she doesn't even know what she is planning.

Wang Miaomiao swore in her heart that if she found Chen Zui this time, she would never like him again and never fall in love again.

Chen Zui, a bastard, has nothing to do with her whether she loves him or not.

She never wants to see him again in this life, and she doesn't want to meet Chen Zui again in the next life. He is just a debt collector to her.

Wang Miaomiao thought like this in her heart and continued to walk forward for about ten meters.

When she raised her leg and stepped on it, she found that her foot felt completely different from before, as if she had stepped on something hard.

The thing was oval-shaped, like a tree trunk.

Wang Miaomiao didn't think much. She stepped on the "trunk" and continued to lift her other leg. When this leg stepped down, she also stepped on an oval object like a tree trunk. However, this time her foot slipped and she stepped on it. null.

Wang Miaomiao became unstable and fell face down.

I originally thought that I would definitely be pricked by a dead branch under the snow, but I didn't expect that there was no dead branch, as if it fell on a person.

people?

When this thought appeared in her mind, Wang Miaomiao's heart suddenly beat faster.

Ignoring her red and swollen hands, she quickly pulled away the snow on the ground with her hands, revealing what was under the snow.

When she saw it clearly, Wang Miaomiao almost screamed.

That was a human face, someone she was very familiar with - Chen Zui.

Chen Zuiping was lying on the ground with his eyes closed. There was no blood on his face. He was already frozen.

When Wang Miaomiao saw his pale and pale face, her body began to tremble, and her hands were also shaking.

"Chen Zui?"

Chen Zui didn't react at all. She couldn't even see his breathing, because there was white air when she breathed, but Chen Zui didn't.

Wang Miaomiao was panicked, panicked like never before.

She put her hand under Chen Zui's nose, wanting to feel his breathing, but her hand, which was frozen to the point of unconsciousness, couldn't feel anything.

Wang Miaomiao went crazy and swept away the snow on Chen Zui. Only then did she realize that he was wearing the black clothes that Yun Musheng had specially made for him, but that was all he wore. , there are not even fox furs and cloaks outside.

He held two boxes in his arms. The bottom one contained Yun Musheng's portrait, and the one above was the urn of Yun Musheng's ashes.

Wang Miaomiao understood.

No wonder Chen Zui had to go out on a snowy day, no wonder he was only wearing thin clothes.

It turned out that he was going to freeze himself to death. He was going downstairs to find Yun Musheng. He wanted to die in the Holy Land of Fumen. He hoped that the Buddha could bless him to get his wish.

In order to die quietly, he even went to the corner of the back mountain, just not wanting to be discovered.

If she was restless today, if she hadn't relied on her persistent perseverance to find him.

She didn't even know that he was dead. She didn't know that he died alone in the snowy weather in the back mountains.

Wang Miaomiao was greatly shocked, and her heart seemed to be broken.

She pushed him and called him, but he didn't respond at all.

"Chen Zui, wake up, don't sleep, I'm here to wish you a happy New Year."

Chen Zui didn't react at all. His body was cold and stiff, without any warmth.

Wang Miaomiao used her hands that were frozen into pig's trotters to pull out the box in Chen Zui's arms, trying to take it off and feel if there was still a heartbeat in his heart.

But Chen Zui hugged it too tightly, and the box seemed to be integrated with his body. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get it off.

Wang Miaomiao screamed for help, hoping that someone could hear her cry for help and come to save Chen Zui.

However, her cries only made the heavy snow on the mountain roll down more violently.

The sound of the avalanche was accompanied by the howling wind, and no one could hear her cry.

At this moment, Wang Miaomiao was as desperate as she had ever been.

She was afraid that Chen Zui was dead and that no one would find them.

"Chen Zui, why are you so cruel? Why can't you think about yourself? So many people care about you and like you. You can't hold anyone else in your heart except Yun Musheng, right?"

She held his face in her hands, hoping to warm his skin.

However, her own hands no longer had any warmth.

She wanted to hug him, but he was holding two heavy boxes in his arms, so she couldn't hug him at all.

Wang Miaomiao's heart hurt like needles, but she did not give up.

She picked up Chen Zui from behind.

His body was stiff, icy, and heavy.

Wang Miaomiao tried her best but could only drag him away and return along the original path.

She kept talking to Chen Zui. She wasn't sure if he could hear her, but she never gave up on saving his life.

"Chen Zui, aren't you the most loyal and patriotic? Helian Kingdom hasn't captured Zhao yet, why do you have to leave first?"

"Don't you love Yun Musheng the most? Do you think she will be happy if you die?"

"Yun Musheng loves you so much. She must want you to live well, but you have to wonder, are you worthy of her?"

"Chen Zui, please don't die, please. I don't want you to die. If you die, I will become a joke to the whole Yong'an."

She talked a lot, but Chen Zui had no reaction at all.

A long trace was dragged on the snow.

Wang Miaomiao was so tired that she was breathing heavily, and the biting cold wind was sucked into her throat, like a knife cutting her throat.

Wang Miaomiao's nose hurt, her throat hurt, and her head hurt even more. Her whole body suffered varying degrees of pain.

It seemed that what she was holding was not a person, but an ice cube.

Wang Miaomiao stumbled towards the way she came, feeling a lot of energy in her heart.

We must save Chen Zui and take him out.

She must live, she must live, and Chen Zui must live too.

However, a person's physical strength is limited.

Wang Miaomiao never stopped from the moment she left the Prime Minister's Mansion. After leaving the city, she relied on her tenacity to persist to the foot of the temple mountain.

Climbing and descending again, being thrown down and freezing again.

A wealthy lady who had never endured hardship spent four or five hours outdoors in the snowy weather.

Not to mention Wang Miaomiao, who has thin skin and tender flesh, even adult men can't stand her.

Wang Miaomiao exhausted her strength and was unable to drag Chen Zui back to the foot of the mountain where the horse was.

All her energy was exhausted, and it was impossible to even walk back by herself.

Wang Miaomiao's vision gradually turned black, her heartbeat was extremely fast, and every breath she took was painful and she was about to faint, and she also developed tinnitus.

She only felt her ears buzzing and could not hear any other sounds.

Her mind became heavier and heavier, and finally she stumbled and fell into the snow, with Chen Zui on top of her.

Wang Miaomiao went to push Chen Zui away, but she couldn't push her away. She seemed to be pressed to the ground by a huge boulder weighing a thousand kilograms, and she could never get up again.

She only felt that her body was getting colder and colder, the warmth in her body was rapidly disappearing, and her consciousness gradually fell into darkness.

She couldn't feel the flow of time, and she couldn't feel anything.

Is she going to die in the mountains with Chen Zui?Wang Miaomiao thought this before she completely lost consciousness.

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and the sun is about to set.

At this moment, the sound of mountain guards came from the mountain.

A large number of people and horses searched for the whereabouts of Wang Miaomiao and Chen Zui inch by inch.

After Wang Miaomiao left Yun Mansion, Gu Wangshu had been uneasy about her. He left Yun Mansion soon after and began to look for Wang Miaomiao.

First, I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion and found that Wang Miaomiao didn't come home. Then I went to the Hou Mansion and found that Chen Zui didn't come back either.

In the end, Gu Wangshu had no choice but to go out of the city to search, but met the groom from the Prime Minister's Mansion halfway.

Through the groom, Gu Wangshu learned that Wang Miaomiao was riding alone farther outside the city.

Gu Wangshu was so excited that he did not dare to delay and immediately told Gu Chengfeng about the matter. The groom also told the Prime Minister Wang Hanbo about the matter when he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The two families simultaneously sent people to start searching outside the city.

Because we didn’t know where Wang Miaomiao had gone, the search seemed a little slow.

It wasn't until they saw the horse pulling the carriage of the Prime Minister at the foot of the mountain that they were sure that Wang Miaomiao had gone up the mountain.

After finally going up the mountain, the monk told him that Wang Miaomiao had come down from the back mountain.

A group of people started going down the mountain again.

At this moment, Wang Miaomiao was already unconscious.

No matter how many people called her, she had no response.

The snow was still falling, and it was getting worse. The bodies of Chen Zui and Wang Miaomiao were about to be covered with snow.

It was at this time that people found the foot of the mountain and began a blanket search.

Before Wang Miaomiao was about to be covered by snow, someone spotted her and shouted excitedly:

"Miss Wang is here, and so is Mr. Chen Hou."

Following this shout, everyone became excited and hurriedly gathered in the direction of the sound.

When they discovered that Chen Zui and Wang Miaomiao were both hardened, their hearts sank to the bottom.

Fortunately, although Wang Miaomiao's body was stiff, she was still breathing, but she was already unconscious.

As for Chen Zui, everyone had a bad feeling on their faces.

People lifted Chen Zui and Wang Miaomiao out of the snow and left the back mountain. After arriving at the front mountain, they put them on the carriage and covered them with thick quilts.

......

Wang Miaomiao had a very long dream.

In the dream, she saw Chen Zui, who was still wearing his iconic black brocade robe. Although he was thin, he did not look weak at all.

He rarely smiled at her, but in his dream he smiled at her for the first time.

He said: "I'm going to find Mu Sheng. Thank you for your company during this time. I will never be able to repay you in this life. If there is a next life, you can be my sister. I will definitely accompany you as you have accompanied me." Take care of you."

Wang Miaomiao rolled her eyes at him.

"You are obviously very smart, but why do you pretend to be stupid? I don't want to be your sister. How about being your real wife?"

She felt that what she said was offensive to Chen Zui, but Chen Zui was not angry and said to her very gently:

"I promised Mu Sheng that I would stay with her for the rest of my life."

"Chen Zui, I can tell you very clearly that you are in my dream now. It's okay if I say yes."

"No."

"can."

"No."

"Why are you so stubborn?" Wang Miaomiao was anxious. What annoyed her was why Chen couldn't like her even once in her own dream.

"Wang Miaomiao, if you hadn't met me in this life, you would have lived a very good and happy life."

"I will help you be loved by everyone in your future life and live a happy and healthy life."

"I'm leaving. Mu Sheng has been gone for two years, and I don't even know if I can see her again."

After he finished speaking, he walked towards the light in the distance. No matter how Wang Miaomiao shouted, he did not stop, and finally disappeared into the white light.

Wang Miaomiao wanted to chase after her, but the moment her body encountered the white light, she was bounced away by it.

Her body gradually fell, a feeling of weightlessness hit her, and she woke up suddenly.

The moment she opened her eyes, there were cheers all around.

"Wake up, wake up, Miaomiao finally woke up."

"Thank God, the Bodhisattva must have appeared."

"Miaomiao, why are you such a stupid kid? Are you trying to scare your mother to death?"

Wang Miaomiao followed the sound and saw many people standing beside her bed.

There was an old man with a white beard whom she didn't recognize, but she could tell from his official attire that he was an imperial doctor.

and her grandfather, father, mother, aunts, and imperial cousin.

"Miaomiao, are you feeling uncomfortable in any way?" the Queen Mother asked.

Wang Miaomiao's eyes instantly overflowed with tears, and her tears wet the pillow.

She opened her mouth to speak, but found that her throat was terribly sore and it was very difficult to speak.

"My heart hurts so much."

The faces of those present looked heavy for a moment.

Wang Miaomiao looked at them and the second thing she said was: "How is Chen Zui?"

The air suddenly became extremely dull. From everyone's sad eyes and sad feelings, Wang Miaomiao knew that Chen Zui must have gone to find Yun Musheng like she did in her dream.

"How long have I been in a coma?"

"Seven days have passed. If you still don't wake up, I really don't know what to do."

Wang Miaomiao's breath was suffocated, and even speaking took up half of her energy.

"Then...where is Chen Zui?"

"..."

The air became deathly silent for a moment, and evasive expressions flashed across everyone's faces.

Wang Miaomiao suddenly laughed, and tears fell down in big drops.

"Chen is gone, isn't he?"

"You've even passed the first seven, right?"

"I just dreamed about him. He told me to take care of myself and told me to be happy for the rest of my life."

"But I'm not happy at all without him."

Wang Miaomiao lay on the bed and cried.

It seems that she should wish Chen Zui that he can finally go to Yun Musheng.

But she was very sad, so sad that her whole body ached.

She would never see Chen Zui again, and she would never see anyone smarter, more affectionate, and more temperamental than him in the rest of her life.

She had seen the best, how could she fall in love with someone worse than him.

Moreover, she is 20 years old, an old girl.

The Queen Mother gently patted Wang Miaomiao's body, but she didn't know how to say so many comforting words.

This child had such a deep affection for Chen Zui that he almost froze to death trying to find Chen Zui's whereabouts on the first day of the new year.

He almost died when he was rescued. He burned for three days and three nights and was in a coma for seven days before he came back to life.

"This is Chen Zui's choice, I can't blame you."

Wang Miaomiao cried for a while before she stopped crying. She raised her head and looked at Helian Jue.

"Cousin, are Chen Zui and Yun Musheng buried together?"

Helian Jue nodded.

"Then where are they two buried?"

Helianjue replied: "Since he chose the hiding place on the mountain behind the temple, I will bury him there."

"That place is nice, you won't be disturbed by others, and with the blessing of Buddha, I believe that he and Yun Musheng will be reunited in their next life."

Wang Miaomiao's eyes started to turn red again as she spoke, but she forced her tears back.

"I'm fine now. Don't worry, everyone. I'm a little tired now and want to rest."

Seeing that she was indeed very tired, everyone left one after another.

Wang Miaomiao was lying on the bed in a daze, with Chen Zui in her mind.

After about an hour of burning incense, the slave came in carrying the incense.

After Wang Miaomiao finished drinking the medicine, the maid went out.

She stretched out her hands and found that her hands were frostbitten. Seven days later, they were still swollen.

Thinking of the scene when she found Chen Zui in the back mountain that day, she didn't know whether Chen Zui was alive or dead at that time.

Maybe he was already dead when she found him.

He was so cruel to him, even risking his life for Yun Musheng. Because Wang Miaomiao had tasted the feeling of being frozen, she could understand Chen Zui's pain even more.

She suddenly remembered that the day before New Year's Eve, he suddenly put away Yun Musheng's portrait. Why did she think about him? He said that the time was up.

It turned out that the time was up and he was going down to accompany Yun Musheng.

It must have been painful while he was alive, right?

When he saw Yun Musheng being bombed to death, did he not want to live anymore?

Based on his love for Yun Mu Sheng, Wang Miaomiao had reason to believe that he had long wanted to die, but at that time Helian Kingdom was still besieged on all sides.

Because he loves Yun Mu Sheng, he doesn't want the Helian Kingdom to be destroyed. If the Helian Kingdom is destroyed, the Yun family will be gone.

He is protecting Yun Musheng's family in his own way.

He had endured it for two years. For him, these two years were just hanging on. Death was easy, but living required greater courage and perseverance.

He must have been miserable these past two years.

Nowadays, almost all the surrounding countries have been included in the territory of the Helian Kingdom, leaving only the Zhao Kingdom that has not yet been annexed.

How could the little Zhao State be the opponent of Helian State?

Just because he realized this, Chen Zuilian couldn't wait for Helian to annex Zhao.

He didn't want to see the grand occasion of the Helian Kingdom dominating the world, he just wanted to see Yun Musheng who was thinking about it day and night.

Wang Miaomiao cried for a long time, and finally the tears dried up. Her eyes were red, swollen, and dry, so she closed her eyes.

She thought that if Chen Zui could meet Yun Musheng in the next life, he would definitely love her as much as his life and be very kind to her, right?

Wang Miaomiao firmly believes in this.

But she would not have thought that in the next life, when Chen Zui met Yun Musheng, he would be very cold towards her. After three years of marriage, Yun Musheng only received a piece of paper and a divorce letter.

Wang Miaomiao felt sleepy and slowly fell asleep.

This New Year was not a happy one for her at all.

Also unhappy are Gu Wangshu, Helian Jue and others.

Chen Zui's death made the atmosphere in the entire court very heavy.

Many of the courtiers in the court could not understand Chen Zui's behavior.

Even though Yun Mu Sheng is as beautiful as a fairy, he wouldn't freeze himself to death for her, right?

What a talented person. He is the pillar of Helian Kingdom. He became a Marquis at a young age. When the Helian Kingdom is unified, his status will definitely continue to improve with his ability. One person is better than ten thousand people. Go ahead and enjoy endless glory and wealth in the rest of your life.

With fame and wealth so easily available, Chen Zui actually gave up and wanted to die.

They don't understand, they really don't understand.

However, they have no deep friendship with Chen Zui. Anyway, Helian Kingdom has become the largest country, and no country can pose a threat to Helian Kingdom anymore. If Chen Zui dies, he will die, and there will be no harm to them at all.

......

Gu Wangshu took the time to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see Wang Miaomiao.

Since she almost froze to death, Wang Miaomiao has become seriously ill and her health is not as good as before.

When Gu Wangshu arrived, she had just finished taking her medicine and was leaning on the bed in a daze.

Seeing Gu Wangshu, Wang Miaomiao just said lightly: "Are you here?"

Gu Wangshu sat beside the bed and asked, "How is it?"

"That's it, you can't die."

"Don't be so negative. You are still young and should look forward."

A wry smile appeared on Wang Miaomiao's face: "How can I look forward? I finally understand what it feels like when the person I like dies in front of me."

Wang Miaomiao pointed to her heart: "It hurts so much here. When Chen Zui saw Yun Musheng being blown to pieces, it must have hurt more than me."

Gu Wangshu opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Yes, it hurts, it hurts. How can I not feel the powerlessness of watching someone I care about die in front of me?

Didn't she just watch Meng Ying commit suicide in front of her?

At that time, no matter how much others tried to comfort her, it was useless. She was so sad that she vomited blood and fainted.

Even though more than two years have passed, she still can't let go every time she thinks of Meng Ying's death.

Both of them were silent, each with their own thoughts.

After a while, Binu brought a pot of freshly brewed tea and poured a cup for Gu Wangshu and Wang Miaomiao respectively.

Gu Wangshu took the teacup, blew on it, and was about to drink it when he realized that Wang Miaomiao was actually crying.

"what happened?"

Wang Miaomiao's eyes fell on the tea cup in her hand.

"Chen Zui likes to drink tea the most. He still has a nice smell of tea. When I smell the tea fragrance, I will think of what Chen Zui looked like when he was alive."

"He likes to read books and is very serious when reading. At that time, I was sitting at his desk drinking tea. That time was as beautiful as a dream to me."

"I will never be able to smell his scent on anyone else in my life. Only this tea will make me think of him every time I see it."

Wang Miaomiao talked about many scenes in which she shamelessly pestered Chen Zui some time ago.

Most of the time, Chen Zui ignored him and she was always talking to herself next to him.

At that time, she never understood why Chen Zui, who was so indifferent, would allow her to hang around him every day for the first time.

Thinking about it now, maybe he had already decided to accompany Yun Musheng during the first snowfall in winter. He only had a few days left to live, so he didn't want to worry too much about her.

The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, and finally she just bowed her head and drank tea.

The heat of the tea blurred her face, and she was immersed in the fragrance of the tea, feeling somewhat comforted in her heart.

After drinking a cup of tea, Gu Wangshu took the teacup in her hand and asked, "Do you still want to drink?"

"Yes." Wang Miaomiao nodded.

Gu Wangshu poured her another glass.

Wang Miaomiao said thank you very politely.

The two fell into a long silence again.

Gu Wangshu was a little bored, so he took the initiative to talk to her.

"Tomorrow, on the eighth day of the lunar month, I will go to the palace to teach His Highness, will you go?"

Wang Miaomiao shook her head: "I don't have to."

"Then when will you continue the class?" Gu Wangshu continued to ask.

"I..." Wang Miaomiao thought for a while and said: "Maybe I won't go there in the future. What you said is very interesting, but I no longer want to use the knowledge I have gained to attract people. People."

She had always fantasized about learning some knowledge from Gu Wangshu and then attracting Chen Zui's attention.

But she overestimated herself and underestimated Chen Zui.

Chen Zui was not attracted to her. On the contrary, the more she got along with him, the deeper her feelings for him became.

For a man, affection is very rare.

Among the dignitaries in Yong'an City, how many are like Chen Zui who only love one person in their life?

Very few.

She thought that her father and mother were very good and respected each other as guests, but her father was not only her mother, but also had concubines and married women.

Men like Chen Zui are extremely rare in the whole world.

How many women fell in love with him without even looking at him, and finally chose to die and pursue Yun Musheng.

When Wang Miaomiao thought about this, she felt strangely envious and extremely sad.

Why can't lovers finally get married?

Gu Wangshu saw that she was lost in thought again, so he knew that she must be thinking about Chen Zui again.

She did not disturb her and stayed with Wang Miaomiao for more than an hour. When she was about to have lunch, Gu Wangshu left.

After today, starting from the second day, Gu Wangshu started going back and forth between the palace and the general's mansion every day again.

Occasionally I come to see Wang Miaomiao.

The days passed so peacefully. Two months later, half a message came from the border. The Helian army led by He Lianhuan completely captured Dashuo. Soon, he would return to Yong'an.

After the news came, the government and the public cheered.

Now no other country can affect the status of Helian Kingdom.

This day is the day for the courtiers to rest.

Gu Wangshu also took a day off from bathing.

She got up early and took Qiuchi to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Wang Miaomiao.

After two months of conditioning, Wang Miaomiao's health has improved a lot.

But in the end, the root cause of the disease was found, and his body was not as good as before.

He used to be lively and cheerful, with an out-of-the-box personality, but now he is very different from before. He is quiet, soft and gentle, with a faint sorrow between his eyebrows, and his body is so slender that it seems like a gust of wind can blow her away.

Such Wang Miaomiao made Gu Wangshu uncomfortable.

When Wang Miaomiao saw Gu Wangshu, a smile appeared on her face.

"You came."

"Well, Xiu Mu came to see you today. I also stopped by to see my cousin and the Marquis."

Wang Miaomiao's eyes were calm a second ago, but after hearing Gu Wangshu's words, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Are you going to a temple outside the city?"

"Yes, are you going?"

Wang Miaomiao nodded without hesitation: "I want to go with you too."

She quickly asked her maid to dress herself up. Her bun was very simple and she didn't wear any jewelry. Her face was bare and she was covered with thick fox fur.

When everything was ready, she asked someone to prepare a pot of hot tea and some pastries, and followed Gu Wangshu out of the house.

The two of them shared a carriage and occasionally chatted, but most of the time they didn't speak, so no one felt embarrassed.

The carriage moved forward leisurely. After two months, there was no snow on the road.

But when I left the city, I found that it was still snowy outside.

The weather is still cold, but there is no wind today.

Wang Miaomiao leaned against the car window and kept looking outside. The scene of heavy snowfall on the New Year's Day came to mind again.

If she had been faster that day and found Chen Zui earlier, wouldn't the result be like this?

But thinking about it on the other hand, Wang Miaomiao felt that it was impossible.

Chen Zui had already made up his mind to accompany Yun Musheng. He would do so sooner or later. It was useless for her to stop him. She couldn't stay by his side twelve hours a day.

This result may be the best for Chen Zui.

Wang Miaomiao closed her eyes and felt the coldness of the air, feeling much more relaxed.

Gu Wangshu had been observing her. She saw Wang Miaomiao's changes and felt quite distressed, but there was nothing she could do.

All she could do was to look at her occasionally and take her out for a walk.

The carriage quickly arrived at the back mountain.

This place is quite hidden. If you don't walk over, you won't even notice that there is a tomb here.

Chen Zui and Yun Musheng were buried together.

Wang Miaomiao came here for the first time since she was rescued that day.

She looked at the names of Chen Zui and Yun Musheng on the tombstones, feeling very calm.

Gu Wangshu and Wang Miaomiao laid out the cakes one by one and lit three sticks of incense.

Then Wang Miaomiao poured two cups of tea, one for Chen Zui and one for Yun Mu Sheng.

"Chen Zui, you liked tea the most when you were alive. I brought tea to you specially. Do you know that you will drink more tea in the next life? In that case, even if your appearance changes, Yun Musheng will rely on the tea in you to The scent can still detect you first.”
