There are not many people in the Leng Palace, so Qing Huan and Emperor Jing Heng have been together for three years, but no one notices, even her aunt, a female official, thinks that she just likes to run around and play. In the past three years, Emperor Jing Heng's progress can be said to be rapid. Under Qing Huan's intentional teaching, although he still can't hide his sinister intentions, on the surface he is not much different from a normal person.
Because of Qing Huan's deliberate recuperation, Emperor Jing Heng's body also stretched vigorously, and because he had enough food, he was no longer the yellow and thin face before, and his face was like a crown jade, extremely handsome. The thin layer of shade on the eyeballs made him look handsome and also had a strange sense of beauty.
But his eyes only follow Qing Huan forever. To Qing Huan, Emperor Jing Heng is just a poor child who has been treated unfairly, but to Emperor Jing Heng, she is the only sunshine in his life. How can a person who has been in the dark for so long be willing to let the sunshine leave his life
However, the world is impermanent, and the New Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty will not sit for long after all.
On that day, Ding Guogong led millions of troops into the capital, overthrew the rebellious officials and thieves, and vowed to take back the great Wei Dynasty. The new emperor committed suicide and burned down the entire palace. The blazing fire burned half the sky, countless palace people screamed and fled, and the place where the water walked was filled with smoke. The cold palace had been uninhabited for many years, and the vegetation was overgrown, and the fire was particularly huge.
My aunt wanted to take Qing Huan to escape, but Qing Huan refused. Emperor Jing Heng was still below, if he didn't come up...she pushed her away and let her go first.
Emperor Jing Heng was standing under the cave, looking up at the entrance of the cave. Qing Huan jumped down without hesitation, he was taken aback, and said, "Why did you get down?"
"Duke Dingguo came in with his army. The emperor died in an accident. Now there is water in the palace, and the fire in the cold palace is especially fierce. If I don't come, why not let you be burned to death?" She said with a sharp knife in her hand. Cut the black chain.
But he didn't see the soft eyes of the young man with a layer of mist, "If I can die with Qing Huan, this life will not be in vain."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You forgot, did you say that you can't be trapped here?" Qing Huan raised her head and smiled at him. "This is the dagger I stole while it was on fire. It is said that it cuts iron like mud. I hope it can... ah, it breaks!" She threw away the iron chain in her hand in joy, and grabbed Emperor Jingheng's hand to crawl out. . She had just brought a rope and tied it to the rockery, and now both of them can escape.
Emperor Jing Heng obeyed her instructions with kindness, and first lifted her up, then she pulled the rope hard, and he pushed hard underneath, and climbed up himself.
He had been in this small cave for eleven years, and this time he really saw the light of day again. Qing Huan hugged him happily, took his hand and ran away. However, Emperor Jing Heng's legs have not been used for many years, and they are almost integrated with the iron chain, so he can't escape at all.
At this moment, a sound of swords clashing was suddenly heard. Emperor Jing Heng's expression froze, and he quickly pushed Qing Huan into the rockery, blocking himself in front, turned the mechanism, and Qing Huan's figure disappeared instantly.
"... If I don't die, I will definitely come to find you." Emperor Jing Heng said in a low voice.
People from outside have already broken in. Just when Emperor Jingheng thought that he was going to die, a man in armor suddenly separated from the army, walked up to him, and knelt down straight: "The last general pays homage to His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson!"
Because Emperor Jingheng's father had only been emperor for a few days, Duke Ding also habitually called him the eldest grandson of the emperor.
Emperor Jing Heng looked indifferent: "Who are you?"
Duke Ding was surprised in his heart. The bitch said that the eldest grandson of the emperor had been trapped here for more than ten years. It is reasonable to say that he should have turned into dry bones long ago, but why is he still alive? How could a boy trapped in the ground enunciate his words so clearly? Could it be that he is a fake
No, it's impossible. No one knew that he would force the palace today, and no one knew that the eldest grandson of the emperor was trapped here. So Ding Guogong still believed it, and he felt regretful in his heart. He thought that he could be called emperor without the great Wei royal family, but he didn't expect that the eldest grandson of the emperor was still alive! Thinking of this, a look of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but the reputation of being loyal to the emperor and patriotism still had to be taken care of—why told him to crusade against the Zhou family with the slogan "benevolence, righteousness and grace, help the great Wei"? !
Emperor Jing Heng was already extremely guarded, and it was absolutely impossible for him to trust Duke Ding. He regards Qing Huan as more important than his own life, so how can he be willing to put her in danger. Immediately, he complied with Ding Guogong and followed him. But before leaving, he couldn't help but glanced at the rockery. He said silently in his heart: "Wait for me, I will definitely come back to find you, wait for me."
But this farewell lasted nine years.
After the surroundings were quiet, Qing Huan walked out of the rockery and found that she had turned into a teenage girl. She looked at her hand in astonishment, then looked back at the rockery, so strange... Wasn't she just pushed into hiding by Emperor Jing Heng? How did you become an adult in the blink of an eye? !
Looking around, the surroundings were more terrifying than she remembered, with weeds growing crazily, vegetation overgrown, and night owls crying from time to time. Qing Huan came out, turned her head to turn on the mechanism, the hole opened, and the inside was no different from before, but the iron chain she cut off by herself had turned into a pile of rotten scrap iron.
It seems that it has really been a long time.
While he was wondering, he suddenly heard footsteps. Qing Huan's heart trembled, fearing that she would grow old if she hid in the rockery again, so she turned around and fell down among the weeds half a person's height. Under the icy moonlight, there were footsteps coming, two eunuchs were carrying a long object wrapped in black cloth, while the other eunuch was standing aside holding a fly whisk, and kept commanding: "Quick, quick, hurry to that place!" Walk along, to the dry well! Quick!"
Soon they arrived at the dry well, because the object was too heavy, so the two young eunuchs accidentally let it drop, the black cloth fell, and a dead head was exposed, although it was beyond recognition, Qing Huan still recognized it at a glance, That is the body of the female ghost Zhu Cai!
"Hurry up, throw people in and come back quickly, our family is leaving first!" The older eunuch left quickly after finishing the task.
The remaining two young eunuchs couldn't help complaining: "Really, they asked us to do these jobs in the middle of the night! No wonder the old man said he was dead, this dead man is really heavy."
"Hush! Don't talk about it!" An eunuch looked around and felt that this dilapidated place was really scary. "Who told her to offend Concubine Shu? Our empress finally let the emperor go to her palace. How could she think that a little maid would be cheaper in the end?! You say, if she doesn't die, who will die?"
"Yes." The other eunuch nodded. "It can only be said that her life is not good. Let's throw people in quickly and leave quickly! This place is quite evil." As they said, the two raised their heads and the other lifted their feet, and threw the body into the dry well middle. After hearing a muffled sound for a while, the two looked at each other and hurriedly left this scary place.
After they left, Qing Huan got up from the weeds. She slowly approached the dry well, and before she got close, she felt a surge of resentment. Qing Huan frowned slightly, closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and silently recited a few Buddhist scriptures, the dry well became quiet, and when she got close to the moonlight, she saw that the depth was bottomless, and she did not know how many innocent souls had been buried.
It was the night when Zhu Cai died. Qing Huan has also met many cruel and ruthless people, and even went to the battlefield to see what is called hell on earth. But this small dry well is inexplicably similar to the battlefield.
She sighed, saved the dead soul, and when she turned to leave, she suddenly realized a problem: how...how does she control the ghost now? Thinking of when I was on the Naihe Bridge, the ghosts in the Wangchuan River seemed to be very afraid of her...
Qing Huan became more and more confused. She used the body of a little girl to accompany Emperor Jing Heng for five years, and then turned into a young girl overnight. She had no idea what happened during that time. Thinking of this, she spread her left hand, and the Karma Stone suddenly appeared, but it was much thinner and smaller. Qing Huan watched quietly, and after a while, she understood, and she clenched her fist, and the Karma Stone disappeared instantly.
Concubine Ke Shu gave medicine to Emperor Jing Heng last night, but Emperor Jing Heng escaped, not only that, he also favored Zhu Cai. Concubine Ke Shu lost her wife and lost her army, but instead made wedding clothes for others, she immediately became jealous, and took all her anger on Zhu Cai. Poor Zhu Caifang was favored, so he died, and Concubine Ke Shu ordered someone to fill the dry well with his body. This is how Zhu Cai came to Naihe Bridge later.
Why has time become so strange? Qing Huan didn't understand. But she faintly felt that the time change had something to do with her, but she still couldn't understand the reason behind it, so she could only accept it.
Forget it, one day I will understand, and there is no rush for this moment. The past has passed, and the future has not yet come, so why think so much.
It's just... How can I meet Emperor Jing Heng with my current appearance and no identity
I don't know what the child looks like now. Qing Huan thought.
As for whether her appearance has changed anything, or whether it represents some special meaning, Qing Huan doesn't even think about it. Does she still have some fear when soldiers come to cover her up
She quietly went to the room where she used to live and looked. It used to be the female officer's residence, but now it was empty, as if it had been empty for a long time. She gently opened the door and walked in. The furnishings in the house are naturally different from before, the former house was destroyed by fire long ago - for others, that was nine years ago, but for Qing Huan, it was just an hour before. The gap between before and after was too big, she couldn't help but couldn't accept it.
When she was in the palace before, she had basically figured out the route, so she knew where the emperor's bedroom was, but Qing Huan didn't know how to get there. She knows martial arts and can't fly. How can she get to the Golden Palace where the emperor lives without being spotted by the guards on the way? Another very important thing is, can Emperor Jing Heng recognize her
