Chapter 8
Bailey had to go for what she would be happy to hear.
"They will be happy to attend your birthday party."
The players were silent for a while.
She was about to die, and she made up some false words to trick her into making her listen better.
"Let's go inside."
Suddenly, there is a lack of interest.
The villain was stunned by the player's glass of spiked wine. As soon as Bailey fell down, she hurriedly greeted the person hiding in the secret passage and smuggled the villain out.
"My lord..." A man carried Bailey on his back, and before he left, he stopped without knowing what to say.
She knew that this would be the last time she would meet the villain, as long as she left this door, she would really...really never see her again.
The player forced himself to sit up, and finally waved his hand.
As she watched quietly, the man walked out the door with the villain behind his back.
When Shelley came in, he didn't see Bailey's figure, but saw the master sitting in the middle of the sofa, and raised his eyes when he saw her coming in.
"My lord, this is freshly baked."
The player looked over, and for some reason, this time he picked up the box of powdered sugar from the trolley first.
Under the dim yellow candlelight, the powdered sugar in the box exudes a kind of orange honey light, one by one, as if the stars are contained inside.
Just as Shelley was extremely puzzled, the player made an action that she didn't expect.
She poured half a box of powdered sugar directly into the boiled milk tea.
Too much powdered sugar overwhelmed the milk tea, she stirred it with a spoon, and drank a spoonful of sugar directly under Shelley's surprised gaze.
"grown ups……"
The opponent's body froze, and his eyes looked straight over.
"It seems... so sweet." The player forced a smile.
The sweet and greasy mouth part suddenly felt that the part of the heart was burned, and in an instant, there was sweetness in the throat, Shelley looked at the person in front of him and paused, then smiled... The scarlet color disappeared from between the lips.
With a bang, the thing in his hand fell down.
"My lord..." The other party finally realized, "My lord, I'll find a doctor for you right away."
Shelley ran out, her steps were a little disorganized.
The player reached out and wiped off some of the bright red on his lips with his fingertips, and then locked the door of the room behind him.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
Shelley took some doctors to the door, and after finding that she had closed the door, she knocked hard on the door outside.
"grown ups!"
The people outside the door were pleading, while the people inside the door stood in front of the window, thinking, and pointed the candlestick in their hands at the white curtain on the window.

The person standing outside couldn't hear the response from the people inside the house for a long time, but after half a sound, some thick smoke came out from the bottom of the door.
"It's on fire?" Shelley panicked all of a sudden, and tried harder to smash the door open, but the quality of the door was too good.
Unable to knock the door open, she yelled at the people inside.
"Shelley is in charge, my lord..." Some people guessed whether the player had already... said that before they were interrupted by Shelley.
"What nonsense, my lord must be fine."
Seeing that the door could not be opened, she rushed down and tried to open the door with the spare key.
When she took the key up, the flames were already too strong, and the people who were having a banquet below stood up one after another. Who would have thought that it was a birthday party, but it would...
Those who wanted to survive desperately ran through the door.
Those servants carried wooden buckets to fight the fire.
Shouts, the banging of wooden barrels, and the obstructive sounds of the people below all overlapped in one place.
"Steward, the fire is too big~" The firefighters pulled down the person who was desperately rushing upwards. The strength of the female was too great, and it took several people to pull Shelley down.
The fire continued to spread downwards, and some people dragged others and kept running out.
……
Hill, who escorted Bailey out of the city, glanced back when he was about to leave the city gate. There was a red spot behind him, and the fire was surrounded by thick smoke...
That direction is... the residence of Duke Erica... Hill was stunned.
There was a strong disbelief in his eyes.
"If I transport Admiral Bailey out of the mansion, how will you explain to the royal family, Duke?"
"I've already figured out a way to make those people shut up."
It was only today that she understood the meaning of the Duke's words. It turned out that the way to shut her mouth was... Hill didn't know why, but a deep sense of grief surged in her heart inexplicably.
In this way, she inadvertently echoed the words she said when she met the Duke for the last time half a month ago.
"I will take the general to wait for you outside the city."
Perhaps, the Duke knew long ago that he would not have the chance to come.
Hill's eyes turned hard, she couldn't live up to the Duke's wishes no matter what, and she tried her best to send the admiral out from here.
A seemingly ordinary carriage left the city from the city gate, and at that time, all people focused their attention on the fire in the Duke's Mansion in the city.
……
On the second day, Bailey found herself waking up from a strange place. Just as she was extremely puzzled, her former subordinate, Hill, who was supposed to die, appeared at the door.
She couldn't believe what she saw.
"Admiral, you're awake." Hill brought in the prepared porridge and put it on the table.
During this movement, Bailey's eyes followed Hill's direction, as if he could see Bailey's doubts. Hill laughed and explained: "Duke Erica rescued the subordinates."
She saved Hill?Bailey was full of shock, and then he was a little confused about why he was here.
"Admiral, the Duke was worried that something would happen to you, so he sent you out." She helped Bailey sit on the table.
"An accident?" She was obviously a little puzzled.
"Admiral, do you know why your mental strength is slowly drying up?" Hill couldn't bear it anymore, and wanted to tell the people in front of her everything she knew. She wanted the admiral to know that the Duke secretly How much will be done.
"It was the second princess who put Ziyingcao and... white velvet flowers in the sachet given to the general."
Sure enough, Bailey's body froze for a moment, "What did you say..."
She spoke very slowly, as if what she heard was not true, she didn't believe it, how could Bailey believe it, the second princess... put Ziying Caotong in the sachet she gave her...she couldn't breathe, Eyes fixed on one spot.
"Admiral, you don't believe it, right?" Hill didn't believe it at first, "It was only after the Duke opened the sachet that the second princess gave you that he found out."
"Sachet..." Bailey looked over, her hands began to tremble.
"Even the general's accident..." When Hill said this, he couldn't help but thumped the table with his hands. If it wasn't for...if it wasn't for that accident, the general wouldn't have done that. as humiliated.
In the last accident, upon hearing this, Bailey dropped the spoon in his hand and smashed it directly into the bowl.
"She is..." Bailey couldn't figure out how she guessed it.
"Admiral, now that the Duke has sent you out, you can stay away from the disputes in the imperial city." Hill still hoped that the admiral would stay away from the city.
Bailey had considered escaping from that dispute, but she wasn't alone, but she wanted to bring that person along with her.
Thinking like this.She stood up and was about to go out, but Hill stopped her before the door went out.
"General, where are you going?"
Bailey looked over, "She must be waiting for me, I want to go there."
"Admiral..." Hill paused, not knowing how to say that, hesitating, this feeling made Bell seem to be able to predict something from it.
"Is there something you're hiding from me?"
Hill endured it for a while, "Duke, she...in order to give you a reasonable reason to escape..."
"Last night," she took a long breath, "the Duke set fire to the Duke's mansion."
It seemed that something had hit that mouth and that place hard. Bailey's eyes were reddened at that moment, and his face was so pale that he couldn't speak.
She...how is she...
Tears fell one drop after another.
"The Duke's funeral..." Hill couldn't continue speaking more and more, and forced himself to continue, "It will be held later."
At this moment, Bailey sat down as if he could not stand still.
extra be
Three years and three years, I don't know how many winters have passed.
Bailey swept away the snow in front of the door, and closed the door when he returned to the house.
There were two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table. She sat down and ate like this. She choked up a little while eating. Over the years, as long as she closed her eyes, she could dream about something.
early, late.
Those whose memories are vague, and those who cannot be forgotten in my mind, there are many people in it, the second princess whom I loved for the first half of my life, Hill who has been with me for most of my life, and... the Duke who is the deepest memory .
She should still remember... when we first met.
When the girl walked into the ward with her head held high, she looked domineering.
She couldn't remember what was said at that time.
Oh, by the way, it was obvious that he was not in a good mood, yet the Duke ran to his home, and after making troubles for him, he was thinking about her marriage in his heart.
She didn't know it at the time, so that when the system announced the engagement a few days later, she realized that it must be her handwriting.
By the way, she also likes to call her name.
"Murphy..."
It's just that now, she can't hear it.
She also said that she knew herself when she was a child, what did Bailey think at that time
