All the members are villains, and she just wants to show off when she is dressed as cannon fodder.

Walking into Hong Ling's small courtyard again, I felt a strange atmosphere in the silence. The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the layers of branches and leaves on the red brick and blue tiled houses, giving it a layer of yellow color.

The flowers in the yard were blooming in full bloom, and Yuan Tong'er still remembered the way Hong Ling stood under the flowers not long ago, dressed in red and more dazzling than the flowers. Today the flowers are still luxuriant, but not as vibrant as before.

After that day, Hong Ling was locked up here by her. Although he was locked up, Yuan Tong'er had already told him that if he wanted to leave, there was no need to stop him. But Hong Ling didn't leave, she just stayed in the room every day and didn't go out.

Yuan Tong'er walked to the yard and looked at the closed door. Suddenly she didn't know what excuse she should use to get in.

She lingered outside the door, but she never thought of a more suitable reason. He sighed and turned to leave.

"Your Highness..."

Hong Ling's voice came from a corner of the yard.

Yuan Tong'er looked for the sound and saw Hong Ling sitting on the swing under the shade of the flower tree, watching her quietly.

The sunlight could not penetrate the lush flower trees and could not illuminate his face hidden under the flower trees. Yuan Tong'er couldn't see clearly his expression at this time.

"The flowers and trees are so blooming that they cover most of the yard. Let's get them repaired later."

Yuan Tong'er climbed over casually and sat down on the stone bench under the flower tree.

Hong Ling looked up at the flower tree, her fox-like eyes narrowing again and again. The few sunlight that passed through the flower trees shone on his face, making his pale cheeks even more transparent.

Yuan Tong'er was in a daze for a moment, as if he didn't exist.

"I think it's pretty good...the trees are lush and full of life...people and things must be alive..."

Hong Ling said leisurely.

It was probably because of a sudden gust of wind that the flowers and trees were swaying, and the sunlight shone brightly and dimly on Hong Ling's face. He seemed to be smiling, but his voice was full of discomfort.

Yuan Tong'er took back all his thoughts, changed the topic, and asked about his injury.

Hong Ling withdrew her gaze from the sun, but still did not look at Yuan Tong'er.

"I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

Alienation, indifference, emptiness... It seems like what he said himself, one of the people and things must be alive, and obviously the vivid one is not him.

They sat facing each other, looking at each other silently. They just blew the wind quietly together. When the wind was strong, it would blow some petals off the trees and fall on them.

The petals fell more and more, and Hong Ling's head seemed to be filled with flowers.

Since the last time he stabbed himself with a hairpin, Yuan Tong'er has not allowed him to have sharp things here. He simply left his hair untied, and his ink-like hair fell down from his shoulders to his waist, giving him a charm of his own.

He was more beautiful than any flower, but she was locked up in a small, empty house.

Yuan Tong'er suddenly couldn't bear it anymore. After being silent for a long time, he said, "Hong Ling, let's go."

She didn't notice that the red man sitting under the flower tree stiffened slightly, so she called to the reed flowers outside the yard and placed a stack of silver notes on the stone table in front of her.

"Although the money here is not too much, you can buy some real estate or find a wife... Of course, if you don't want to live like this... it's up to you. Just treat these as my wishes... "

The more she talked, the less interesting it became, so she stopped.

Hong Ling looked at the banknote without saying anything. The shadows of the flowers and trees kept playing with the wind on his face, flickering and making it difficult to see clearly.

The atmosphere seemed to be frozen. As soon as the words came out, Yuan Tong'er had nothing more to say, so she stood up and walked out.

She only took one step when there was a crash behind her.

Lu Hua exclaimed and covered her mouth. When Yuan Tong'er turned around, she saw that Hong Ling had fallen to the ground, with blood pouring from her forehead.

Yuan Tong'er's mind went blank, and she subconsciously rushed over and hugged him.

"Hong Ling, Hong Ling! Go call the doctor!"

Only then did Luhua realize and ran out.

The corners of Hong Ling's eyes were moist, with tears and blood mixed together. He held Yuan Tong'er's hand and held his hand, his voice was weak and his appearance was different.

"Don't, don't call the doctor..."

"Don't talk."

Yuan Tong'er wanted to scold him, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't help but swallow them.

Hong Ling shook her head and continued stubbornly: "His Highness redeemed me, and I am His Highness's... Your Highness doesn't want me... There is no place for this despicable life..."

He spoke intermittently, looking as if he was about to die in the next moment.

Yuan Tong'er became a little anxious and her voice became stronger. "Who says you have no place to go? I'll give you money. If you think it's not enough, I'll give it to you again. Or, you can go back again..."

Isn't he from Yuan Guoer? If he goes back or returns to Yuan Guo'er, as long as he doesn't die, there is always somewhere he can go.

Hong Ling suddenly laughed, but there was only a slight sound of anger.

"Your Highness still doesn't believe me... Since you don't believe me, then give me a treat..."

As he spoke, he reached out and pulled out the hairpin from Yuan Tong'er's head and tried to stab it into his body, but Yuan Tong'er's quick eyesight and quick hands snatched it away.

"Then prove it to me!"

Yuan Tong'er said anxiously.

"Prove it to me and make me believe you, instead of forcing me to cry, make trouble, and hang myself..."

Lu Hua finally brought the doctor and brought Hong Ling back to the house.

The doctor checked him over and found that he had not fully recovered from the previous blood loss. His body was weak and his strength was weak, so the force of the impact was not too great. It was only when his forehead touched a broken sharp edge on the stone table that he started to bleed.

After a simple bandage, Lu Hua and the doctor retreated, leaving Yuan Tong'er and Hong Ling alone in the room.

Hong Ling's mood seemed to be much better, and she just leaned on the bedside quietly, eyes lowered and silent.

Yuan Tong'er sat with him for a while, and when it was time to leave, she said to him: "Since you said your life is mine, then live a good life for me from now on.

But if one day, you let me know that you are still lying to me, at that time, even if you want to live, I will definitely take your life back without mercy! "

Hong Ling looked up at her and saw that although she said harsh words, her face was very calm. His eyebrows moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Yuan Tong'er breathed a sigh of relief and softened his attitude.

“I don’t blame you, I also know that it’s not easy to stay alive due to my background.

If given the chance, who wouldn't choose a solid tree to rely on for survival... But now, you have to think carefully about which tree you want to hug. "

She stood up as she spoke. Her thin and straight back was so slender, yet it gave people a solid and reliable feeling.

She said slowly: "Don't be in a hurry. Until you make a choice, just take things as they come."
