That was because from the moment she first saw him, she had fallen in love with him. She had long been in a relationship with him. If she didn't marry him in this life, who else could she marry?

"Miss, there's something in the river!"

Suddenly, the voice of the maidservant came over, pulling Ye Luoli back from his thoughts. She wiped away her tears randomly and quickly ran to the side of the river.

Following the direction of the pinky finger, you could vaguely see a heavy object floating on the surface of the river. It seemed to have drifted down from the direction of Southern Frontier.

Under the urge of her curiosity, she and her servant girl tidied up a sack and dragged it to the river. She took a long time to untie the knotted knot that had been tied to the sack.

"Ah .."

Ye Luoli's hands trembled as he carefully opened the bag. The next second, she was scared stiff.

She had not expected that there was a girl in the sack. The woman's face was deathly pale, even whiter than snow.

However, her face had long since changed after soaking in it for so long. She looked like a demon from hell, eerie and frightening.

"Miss, you seem to still be breathing."

Just a tiny sniff of the girl's breath showed that her life was in danger.

"Xiaoxiao, find a few people to bring her back. Since we've met, we can't ignore her."

Ye Luoli said calmly, and could not wait any further instructions.

She felt the woman's body being dragged out of the wet sack, and then she set up the fire in an attempt to warm her.

There were no injuries on the woman's body, so she came here in one breath.

Ye Luoli looked at the rushing river, his black eyes gleaming with a cold light, like a deep ocean, unfathomable.

Just what kind of cruel person was he to be able to leave a dying person without the slightest wound? It was truly inconceivable.

The night was dark and cold like cold water, accompanied by the whistling of the wind, which made it seem especially frightening in the darkness.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion's Luo Li's courtyard, it was brightly lit. Each maidservant was carefully carrying the blood water gate.

The yard was filled with the thick smell of blood. A gust of wind blew over, blowing it into the air.

Ye Luoli, on the other hand, was like an ant on a hot pan, walking back and forth in the courtyard, anxiously.

Following that, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the most famous Doctor Wang of Xiangfan City walked out.

Ye Luoli was overjoyed, and anxiously went forward to inquire about the situation inside.

"Doctor, how is the woman inside?"

She stood in front of Doctor Wang, excitedly holding onto his hand. Her eyes were filled with anxiety.

Since she had interfered, she must save the girl.

"Miss Ye, this lady has been deeply poisoned, this old man has already given her blood for treatment. But because she was not treated in time, the poison had already penetrated every inch of her body. This old man was not confident that he could save her. It's all up to the will of the heavens. "

Dr. Wang stroked his gray beard, his eyes shining with an unfathomable light.

He had practiced medicine for dozens of years, but he had never seen a person who could survive after being poisoned for so many days.

But there were many and complex toxins in her body, and there was even something called a Gu worm hidden inside.

This was also the reason why she couldn't save him.

"Doctor Wang, sorry for troubling you." "Xiaoxiao, escort Doctor Wang out."

Hearing his words, Ye Luoli frowned, the fog in his heart had finally been cleared.

She said that she had been floating for so long, how could she have survived?

After everyone had left, Ye Luoli sat on the side of the bed, gently caressing the woman's pale face, wanting to see where the so-called Gu worm was hiding.

However, even after she looked for a long time, she couldn't find anything.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely save you."

Ye Luoli caressed the girl's weak pulse, and muttered softly.

Five years ago, her mother went to the Xi Liang and upon returning, she became infected with this damned parasite.

As for her father, after he found out that her mother had been drugged, he only coldly said:

"Since this Gu is unable to be cured, you can live the rest of your life in peace. Li'er, I will take good care of her."

At that time, she had been hiding outside the door, watching her mother painfully beg her father to save her. She had even said that she regretted doing those shameful things for her father.

Her father looked down at her condescendingly. Other than the boundless coldness in his eyes, there was nothing else. No matter how much his mother begged, he was unmoved.

At the time, she hated her father so much that she even thought that her father had killed her.

From then on, she roamed the world all year round, trying to find her mother's enemy who had poisoned her.

But five years had passed and she still had no leads.

That day, during lunch at the Mirror Moon Pavilion in Xi Liang, he happened to see a few fat men with big ears and stinky body walking in.

Senior Jiang Hu, who sat at the same table as her, told her that they were the survivors of Southern Barbarian and that they would use the evil arts of the martial arts world — insect poison.

At that time, she was both excited and excited. She had finally found the culprit that caused her mother's death.

After the Southern Barbarian people left, she carefully followed them, wanting to find out where their base was and take revenge for her mother.

However, she had underestimated the sense of smell of Southern Barbarian people had. Furthermore, the martial arts of the people of Southern Barbarian could not be underestimated, she believed that her martial arts could be counted on one hand in the martial arts world.

However, facing those from the Southern Barbarian who knew evil techniques, they had been careless for a moment and lost to them.

If not for Dongfang Chen's appearance, she would have long ago disappeared from this world.

Therefore, due to emotions, she would definitely marry Dongfang Chen. Perhaps it was because of her love, or perhaps it was for the sake of saving her life.

"Cough .."

The girl lying on the bed suddenly mumbled. A pair of bone-chilling cold hands were placed on her hands. The cold intent struck, just like the icicles in winter. She shivered as she hurriedly retracted her hands.

"Bai Zhixi!"

The woman's pale lips opened as she panted heavily, spitting out a few words. But before she could hear clearly, the woman fainted.

White... Xi Xi, could it be the person who poisoned her? Or perhaps it was someone close to her?

Ye Luoli looked at the woman who was unconscious again, her face had a ghastly pale green, and her brows were tightly knitted, as though she was in extreme pain.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely find the girl you were talking about."

Ye Luoli covered her with a blanket and muttered a few words before walking out of the door.

But just as she reached the door and heard the footsteps getting closer, she hurried to the bed and shook the pendant off the bed.

With a spin, the woman on the bed disappeared, leaving the same neat bedding on the bed.

"Li'er!"

Following a low and deep male voice, they saw the City Lord Ye Hongfei walk in with a darkened face.

"Father!"

Ye Luoli raised her delicate face and sweetly called out to Ye Hong.

When her mother had died, she had hated her father for several months. However, he had wandered alone in the martial arts world for a few years before he understood his father's difficulties.

His father ignored his mother's pleas. Perhaps he already knew that his mother's poison had no cure. If his father were to look for him, who would protect the huge Xiangfan City?

Perhaps his father had made the right choice.

"Li'er, father will ask you one last time, are you really willing to marry Chen Nan? His current identity was a mystery. His father had investigated it for a long time, but he still hadn't found anything. His identity is so unforgettable, so your father is worried about your safety! "

Ye Hongfei furrowed his brows, his swarthy face was terrifyingly deep and his eyes were filled with worry.

He wasn't a stupid person. After searching for so long, he naturally knew that there was something wrong with his future son-in-law.

In this chaotic world, how could he entrust his only daughter to someone of unknown origin?

"Father, this daughter doesn't have to worry for a long time!" Her daughter knew exactly what sort of person he was. Her daughter would never joke about her marriage. Moreover, his daughter has long since been married to him. If she doesn't marry him, then who else can she marry? "

Ye Luoli lowered her head, twisted the handkerchief, and said carefully.

She knew that her father was already suspicious of her, but she did not agree with his methods. If Father knew Dongfang Chen's identity, he would definitely not allow her to marry into the imperial family, and she would even become the future ruler of a nation in the Eastern Region.

She didn't know why her father hated the royal family so much, but she had no place to turn back to now.

"You .. You're taking revenge on me, aren't you? You still hate me for not saving your mother, don't you? "

Suddenly, Ye Hongfei pulled her over, with both of his hands on Ye Luoli's shoulders, he roared out fiercely.

The current Ye Luoli, was completely terrified, and did not know what to do.

Her father had doted on her since she was young and had never scolded her so loudly like he did today. Even after her mother passed away, she and her father had fallen out, but her father had only laughed it off.

"Father .." "I .."

Ye Luoli looked at his fiendish father, his heart inexplicably filled with fear, and his feet also trembled uncontrollably. The words that he wanted to say were stuck in his throat like fish bones. No matter what he tried to say, he couldn't utter a single word.

"Li'er, why are you so casual? Don't you know how your mother became infected with the Gu? Today, I will tell you everything. Five years ago, the emperor of the Xi Liang was severely ill. Your mother heard that he had secretly gone to the Xi Liang Palace to visit the emperor. Because, your mother was once the concubine to the Emperor of Xi Liang, a woman the Emperor brought back to the Imperial Palace to hunt outside. At that time, she had the aura of a child from the martial world, deeply attracting the young and vigorous emperor. The emperor had especially doted on her. This made the Empress jealous, and made her remember to frame your mother and make her disappear forever from the Emperor, even from the palace. However, your mother was extremely lucky. She was washed to the river bank of Xiangfan City, where I rescued her. By then, your mother had already lost her memory and could not remember who she was. Your mother was very beautiful. Even the beauties of Xiangfan City lost their luster in front of her. I was so fascinated by her. "

Ye Hongfei's swarthy face finally revealed a smile. It was deeply embedded in his memories, as if he had returned to his youth.
