Gu Yan'an opened the letter, which was written in a familiar and beautiful handwriting. With shaking hands, Gu Yan'an read the letter left by Su Jingning word by word, and every word hit his heart like a heavy hammer, making him feel miserable. The ink on the letter had long dried up, but the deep affection and determination between the lines seemed to still carry her warmth, warm and piercing.

The letter was as nagging and trivial as her usual style, as if she was going to be away for a while and told him to do something.

She asked him to remember to replace the pearwood chair in the bedroom with her favorite soft couch with fine flowers after he returned to Northern Xinjiang.

The northern border is windy and sandy, so she asked him to build a greenhouse and flower hall in the palace and plant her favorite flowers in it.

The pastries at Amulou in Hancheng are delicious, and the chef urged him to learn the craft.

He also told her to remember to send some gifts to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion during festivals, and to remember to visit her grandmother on her behalf if she had time in the capital.

.........

She wrote a dozen pages of densely packed letters, arranging one thing after another for him. Gu Yan'an understood what she meant. She was afraid that he would be upset if something happened to her, so she arranged everything for him, because she knew that if she said so, he would definitely do it.

“My husband, Ayan, do not be anxious or worried.

Don't blame yourself. Jing Ning has no regrets or complaints for risking his life to poison himself.

May my husband Ayan live a long life.

Wife, Su Jingning. "

Live a hundred years, live a hundred years? Gu Yan'an looked at those beautiful words, tears gradually blurring his vision.

Without her, how could he live a long life alone...

Gu Yan'an propped himself up and stood up. He wanted to go see her.

You Baishu stepped forward and supported him:

"You can't go out now. Your injury hasn't healed yet."

Gu Yan'an seemed not to hear what he said. He stretched out his hand to brush him away and tried to leave without caring about his life.

You Baishu looked at him and sighed softly:

"You won't be able to see her if you go now."

"She was seriously injured. Master Yuan and Young Master Yuan tried their best to pull her back from the brink of death. But she was still unconscious and was taken to the forbidden land of Lanshan by Master Yuan to recuperate. Unless Master Yuan opens the mountain gate, no one can enter."

"If you want to see her, you shouldn't go like this." You Baishu continued to persuade.

Gu Yan'an's feet staggered and he almost fell, but You Baishu was quick-witted and agile, knocked him out with a knife and dragged him back to the bed.

Seven days later, Lanshan Bamboo Garden.

Song Ci'an looked at Gu Yan'an, who had been kneeling at Lanshan for seven days, with sarcasm in his eyes.

"Brother, he still refuses to leave. He has been kneeling for seven days, and his illness is still not healed. Is there anything wrong?"

Ji Chen stood beside Song Ci'an, looking at the pale-faced man below, with a touch of emotion in his eyes. He was also angry at first, because Xiao Qi had hurt him like this.

But later, this person woke up, and after learning that Xiao Qi's life was in danger because of helping her to remove the poison, he almost went crazy.

Fortunately, my senior brothers and sisters discovered it in time and subdued him.

Xiao Qi's frost seal had been removed by her master, and her hidden meridians had also been repaired, but for some reason, she fell into a coma and couldn't wake up. Her master took her to a forbidden area for recuperation, and even they couldn't enter.

The senior brother has always loved Xiao Qi the most. He has protected her like the apple of his eye since she was a child. This time, he used up most of his energy to save her.

Xiao Qi was injured so badly because of Gu Yan'an that the eldest brother wanted to kill him, but he couldn't.

So when Gu Yan'an asked to see Xiao Qi, the eldest senior brother pretended not to see anything. This man was also a stubborn person. He dragged his sick body and knelt on the black jade platform under Lanshan for seven days.

Song Ci'an looked at him coldly: "If you want, go kneel with him."

"It's just kneeling for a few days. No one will die."

After saying that, he shook his sleeves and left.

Ji Chen looked at the people below and sighed.

Gu Yan'an's face was pale, his eyes were dark, and there was almost no life in his deep eyes. An unspeakable sorrow lingered around him, as if he was trapped in deep self-blame, almost drowning in it, and could no longer break free.

Ye Ling and Yi Zhi walked up to him. Ye Ling knew that Xiao Qi cared about him, and seeing his expression, he couldn't help but persuade him:

"Xiao Qi should have left you a letter. She risked her life to save you, not because she wanted to see you like this. Let's go, leave Mo Linyuan, and live well as Xiao Qi wished. Don't let her down."

"If she wakes up someday, she will come to find you."

Gu Yan'an's eyes moved slightly, but still did not move.

She wanted to persuade him again, but she heard the sound of a bell in the mountains. Surprise appeared in her eyes, and Xizhi, who was standing beside her, also heard the sound.

"The forbidden area is open?!"

Gu Yan'an raised his head suddenly and looked towards the mountains.

Then a slightly old voice sounded in my ears:

"Gu's son, enter the forbidden area of ​​Lanshan."

"But Xiaoqi is awake! Come on, Master wants you to enter the forbidden area, come with me." Ye Ling showed joy on his face, and pulled Gu Yan'an up. The hem of his clothes fluttered in the wind, and the bells on the corners of his clothes made tinkling sounds.

Gu Yan'an's injury had not yet healed, so Ye Ling was so anxious that he used his light skills to quickly climb the mountain.

Although Xizhi didn't know how to perform Qinggong, he still walked quickly up the mountain. His face, which had been cold for several days, finally relaxed a little.

In front of the forbidden area, a heavy stone gate made of black jade stone unique to Cangwu Prefecture isolated them from the outside. Behind the stone gate was a silent mystery.

When Ye Ling brought Gu Yan'an to the forbidden area, Song Ci'an and Ji Chen were already waiting at the door.

"How is it? Is Xiaoqi awake?" Ye Ling asked loudly, his voice full of anticipation.

Ji Chen shook his head: "I don't know, the master only let him in."

Ji Chen pointed at Gu Yan'an.

The stone door slowly opened. Gu Yan'an looked up and saw that it was pitch black and he couldn't see clearly what was inside.

Song Ci'an still looked indifferent, and even his voice was chilly:

"Master is waiting for you inside."

Gu Yan'an thanked him and walked inside.

As soon as he stepped into the stone gate, he felt nothing blocking him and was pushed forward by a force.

After walking for a long time, I gradually felt a glimmer of light.

Gradually I could see the scene in front of me clearly.

As the light grew brighter, Gu Yan'an's vision gradually became clearer. He seemed to have stepped into a fairyland that was isolated from the world. He was surrounded by lush bamboo forests, and the bamboo leaves swayed gently, making rustling sounds. The soft light penetrated the dense bamboo leaves, casting mottled shadows, and warmth and vitality were everywhere.

The air was filled with the faint scent of medicine and flowers, which could obviously make people concentrate and calm down unconsciously, but the surroundings were very quiet, so quiet that he gradually felt a strong sense of uneasiness.

Deep in the bamboo forest, he finally saw Su Jingning, who was sleeping peacefully on the bluestone bed with her eyes closed. Her face was calm, as if she was asleep.

Next to her sat an old man with white hair, dressed in coarse cloth, which made it hard to see through him. He closed his eyes, and a white light shone from his fingertips, which slowly flowed into the forehead of the sleeping woman.

When he came closer, the old man slowly opened his eyes and looked at him with a strong sense of oppression.

"Are you Gu Yan'an?"

"I am Gu Yan'an, a junior, and I am honored to meet Master Yuan." Gu Yan'an bowed his head and saluted him.

Lord Mo Linyuan opened his eyes, nodded lightly, and turned to look at Su Jingning on the bluestone.

"Her external injuries have healed and she's fine." Gu Yan'an was delighted to hear that, and his eyes, which had been silent for a long time, finally lit up for a moment.

"But, the laws of nature cannot be reversed. She forcefully changed your fate, and your six spirits were damaged. If there is no solution within half an hour, you will never wake up."

The light in Gu Yan'an's eyes paused for a moment, and he looked at Master Mo Linyuan with an earnest expression, kneeling down in front of him:

"I am a fool, so please give me some advice, Master Yuan. What should I do?"

If it was really impossible as Old Master Yuan said, he would not let him enter the forbidden area.

Lord Mo Linyuan had a smile in his eyes, which showed his intelligence.

"Don't be anxious. The reason I asked you to come is that I have a way to save my disciple, but it will cost you some blood." He said in a gentle voice.

Hearing him say this, Gu Yan'an finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"Can I save Ningning!?"

The old master nodded, looked at the lucky bead on Su Jingning's wrist, and said slowly:

"Do you know what this is?"

Gu Yan'an shook his head.

"This is a lucky bead. It requires a devoted person to pour their heart blood into it for 49 days. It is a secret method of exchanging one's life for another's. This lucky bead went back to her past and changed her fate. Because of this lucky bead, your fates are once again entangled. You asked for the fate of the two lives to be together."

"But changing destiny is against morality. What she did also changed the original outcome, but it will eventually backfire. This last thing is to change your fate. The two of you have been entangled in fate for two lifetimes, and one of you will die because of the other. Now, you live and she dies, which is what fate has written. However, Xiaoqi is a person of two lifetimes, and she also has her own opportunities. This lucky bead may be able to continue her incomplete six souls."

Gu Yan'an was confused after hearing this. No matter if it took two or several lifetimes, as long as Ningning could be saved, it would be fine.

"Please Lord Yuan save her!"

Old Master Yuan took the scarlet lucky bead.

"Drop your heart's blood on this. The essence of the blood can help her rebuild her six souls."

Gu Yan'an took out the dagger without hesitation and stabbed it straight into his heart without thinking. The severe pain made him come back to life a little bit, and he looked at the sleeping woman with his eyes full of attachment.

Fortunately, his blood is still useful.

He pulled out the dagger violently and dripped dark red blood onto the red blood bead.

The lucky bead made a crisp cracking sound and slowly broke apart. The red color inside danced lightly on her forehead like a living red silk. The old master of the abyss lightly tapped with his fingertips, slowly pressing down the red color and letting it melt into her forehead.

Gu Yan'an almost didn't dare to breathe. The intense pain in his chest almost made him faint. When the last trace of red disappeared, he finally couldn't hold on and fainted beside the sleeping woman.

He seemed to be slowly brought into a dream, and the things in the dream almost tore his heart apart, suffocating him with pain.

He watched Su Jingning jump down from the city wall, her blood flowing down her body and staining the snow on the ground red. He tried desperately to call her but couldn't wake her up.

It was the new emperor and empress who forced her to death. He led his troops to raze the imperial city to the ground to avenge her and cut the people who killed her into pieces.

But she died anyway and never appeared again.

He was almost crazy and tried every possible way to get her back.

Finally, Huihai told him a place that might be able to fulfill his wish.

He knelt in that ancient temple for forty-nine days, exchanging his life for another, and nourishing his heart for a lucky bead.

Later, he finally saw her again. She was a child, wearing a scarlet bracelet on her hand. Her smile was bright and lively.

But the figure that was gradually becoming clearer in the dream gradually faded away again. He reached out to grab it, but he couldn't hold it.

In her dream, she was angry with him. She was angry that he didn't listen to her and didn't do what she said. So she was mad at him, moved further and further away from him, and finally disappeared.

"Ning Ning!"

Gu Yan'an woke up again. He stood up suddenly, but his hands were empty.

He was still in the forbidden area, Su Jingning was sleeping beside him with her eyes closed, showing no signs of waking up. He held her hand tightly to feel her real presence.

"Awake?" The kind voice of Old Master Yuan sounded in his ears.
