In the drowsiness, there was a vague light.
There were drops of water falling on his face. Although he was so close, he couldn't see clearly the old face.
"Mommy, are you there?"
That familiar voice sounded again, so distant, weak and hoarse, "Are you... crying?"
"No, no, I... I am happy for the princess."
The old nun hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face, and picked up herself and the child beside her. "Congratulations, Princess, it's a girl. Your two little highnesses are as beautiful as you were when you were a child."
"Where are they? Let me see them, Mammy... I can hardly see them."
The old grandma lowered her head and resisted the urge to choke:
"They, they are right in front of you."
A cold palm groped in the air and landed on his face. The movement was gentle, like a feather, tickling, and he chuckled.
"She smiled, didn't she, Mammy, and there was a baby crying... I hurt her."
"No, I was too rough and scared the princess. You see, she stopped crying when she knew her mother was here. She has a good understanding with you."
"That's right."
The familiar voice asked softly, "Can I hug them?"
A pair of hands picked her up, their movements were so gentle, as if they were holding a world treasure, their fuzzy cheeks came closer, with a gentle smile on their pale faces.
"A little naughty, and a little crybaby... Mom, this is my daughter, she is so cute."
She is smiling.
She smiled.
It's so good. Looking at that smile, it feels like I have gained the happiness of the whole world. But grandma lowered her head and couldn't help crying anymore.
"Mommy, don't cry. Did I do something wrong again?"
"No, there isn't."
Mammy said softly, "I just hope that the princess' health will be better, and that your mother and daughter will be safe, so that this life can last for a long time."
"Don't be sad, Mammy. A woman like me who is not so blessed will be very satisfied if I can see them being born."
The woman hugged them, pressed against their cheeks, and shared her weak heartbeat with them, "Look, they are so well-behaved, lively and cute."
"From one to two, the originally prepared names are no longer used." Nanny smiled reluctantly, "I have to trouble the princess to think about it again."
"'Tide Moon' and 'White Tide'."
She hugged the child and said softly, "How about calling them Chaoyue and Bai Xi?"
"Tide...?"
Grandma was stunned, and soon she smiled happily: "They are all good names. If sisters are of the same mind, they will be like one person."
She smiled.
"Tide moon, white tide, tide moon, white tide..."
Her lips were slightly cold against their cheeks, and she closed her eyes in contentment.
…
…
"Mother… "
Bai Xi woke up from her dream, opened her eyes, and couldn't help but murmur softly.
Still didn't see her clearly.
Just a little bit...
The pain lingers in the head, and with the development of the bones and body, the pain caused by being born with a disability lingers in the fascia and blood bones.
Checking the alchemical matrix engraved in the flesh again, the slender fingers passed over the skin with a hint of chill, raising a layer of chicken skin in the cool air of late autumn.
Feeling the cold air coming from outside the gauze curtain, she hurriedly put on layers of clothes, but she felt that the clothes that were originally suitable were now a bit tight on her chest.
"How annoying."
She murmured softly, and then heard a deep voice outside the door.
"It seems like I had a good dream."
The door opened, and the solemn and graceful empress walked into her boudoir and looked at her, "I originally thought you would be too lazy to eat and drink here, but I didn't expect that you are in good condition and have gained two pounds. You have a good headache." Did you get some?"
"Thanks to His Majesty's blessing, things have become more serious these days."
Bai Xi glanced at her with a cold expression, without any respect or caution in the past, which aroused the anger of many of the servants. The empress waved her hand to signal the others to leave, and she sat down opposite Bai Xi.
"In the whole palace, you are the only one who barely makes me like you because of your stubborn mouth."
"Is it?"
Bai Xi looked at her with mocking eyes, "Actually, I suddenly thought yesterday that I was thrown into the cold palace by His Majesty, right?"
"oh."
The empress raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at her increasingly beautiful face, her eyes became happy, "Does the Qing family really want to be favored by me? Unfortunately, your legs are too long. If you were petite, you might not be able to win. You can’t get my favor.”
"Isn't it right?"
Bai Xi climbed up from the bed, came forward, and looked at that graceful face almost wantonly, "According to my guess, Your Majesty shouldn't like me more than those sissies who control He Prison." This more manly type?”
Without any shyness or embarrassment, the empress just stretched out her hand, pressed her slender white fingers between her eyebrows, and pushed her back. Then, she lifted her chin, looked at her face, and sighed softly.
"It's a pity that a person like you who is so agreeable to me is born as a girl."
Bai Xi moved forward, close to her palm, and looked at the face of the empress. Step by step, his eyes became happy: "Don't you know, Your Majesty? It's okay for women to be together..."
Snapped!
A ray of lightning burst out from the empress's fingertips, and she slapped her forehead.
"Bai Xi, you have been imprisoned here for so many days. Not only do you not reflect on your sins, but you also tempted me to do false things with you? Isn't that a little too presumptuous? You are on the way to flatter me, But he is more talented than your cheap father..."
"Thanks for the compliment."
Bai Xi leaned lazily on his bed, turning his back on the emperor, and said in a mocking tone, "Your Majesty is really always right."
"That's how it should be."
The empress' expression was solemn, as if she was telling the truth.
Not only did she say that, she actually did it.
More than ten years ago, she was crowned a great treasure as a woman, but was held hostage by Bai Heng. As a puppet, people had already started to talk about her. I don't know how many people were calling her Si Chen behind her back.
But now, who doesn’t know the appearance of the wise king today
No one thought that the girl who was used as a puppet back then would have such terrifying skills and ambitions. With a bad hand, she just wiped out the long-standing abuses of the imperial court, regained the emperor's rights bit by bit, and brought down the generations of the past generations. The mess that the emperor had made was cleaned up again, and there was great potential for revival.
It's a pity that there is still that thief Bai Heng who is causing trouble in the palace, stealing the power of the country, and controlling the government. Otherwise, the sea, Yan, and rivers would have been clear, and the world would have been at peace.
"It is indeed good to be right."
Bai Xi looked at her and his eyes became strange: "It's just that you are so correct that even the public prosecutor will lose your job. Your Majesty is really terrible."
The empress said calmly, "Otherwise, how could we defeat Bai Heng?"
"No, you've got it all wrong."
Bai Xi sighed, "It's not because you are right that you can defeat Bai Heng, but because you are so right that you become Bai Heng's enemy... Although he never said anything, I can tell that he hates him more than anyone else." A right emperor."
"All the rebellious officials and traitors would think so. It's not surprising."
The emperor chuckled lightly, and when he looked at Bai Xi, the playfulness of playing with toys disappeared, but with a hint of schadenfreude: "But the strange thing is that the person who knows her best in the whole world is you who was thrown into this place by him. An abandoned son in the fire pit. And he wasted the opportunity he gave you to escape on others."
If it hadn't been for the commotion in the past few days, no one would have thought that Bai Xi, who had become a prisoner, still retained such terrifying power.
In just three breaths, with an unprecedented skill, this nineteen-year-old girl bypassed all the musicians, directly bypassed the layers of authority, and mobilized all the power of the Great Wall with the matrix in her body.
And then, he wasted the power that was enough to escape on Asgard...
Unfortunately, you only have one chance.
The musicians who woke up from the fright repeatedly repaired Bai Xi's back door to call the Tianshang City, and never gave her any chance. The matrix in her body was also heavily sealed, depriving her of all the power to resist.
Today's Bai Xi, not to mention a musician, is not even as good as a little girl of the same age.
In every move, one must endure the side effects of losing matrix suppression - the pain of growth.
When the lock was unlocked, the frozen time seemed to start flowing again. From a slender girl, she had grown a lot in just half a month, gradually approaching her proper age and posture.
"I'm so jealous. As a woman, I'm not immune to this."
The empress looked at Bai Xi, looking at the curves that gradually emerged under her skirt and the fair skin under the tulle of her neckline, her eyes became regretful.
"You could have escaped. If you wanted to leave at that time, I might... not stop you."
"I can't help it, I'm lazy."
Bai Xi lay on the bed with a cheerful smile, like a little fox: "Rather than running away by myself, I prefer someone to save me. This way I can be free while lying down, how nice is that?"
"It's too unrealistic for you to expect Bai Heng to save you."
"Someone will come."
Bai Xi smiled with firm eyes: "A hero who is a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times stronger than him."
"—He will save me."
…
…
At this moment, I don’t know where I am.
Beyond the thick fog of the Great Wall, the Nomadic Mountains hovered thousands of miles high in the sky. Clouds rolled in, covering the earth and isolating Cathay from the outside world.
If it were not for the guidance of the beacon, everyone might think that this place is just an ordinary fog in the dark world, and it is difficult to find the lock of Cathay from the complicated ether flow.
"This is it."
Ye Qingxuan looked down at the rolling sea of clouds beneath his feet, which was the weakest point in the Great Wall's blockade. "With the beacon guidance, it should be much easier to break through from here."
"Then, I wish you a safe journey, Your Highness."
On the deck, Yegor and his party saw off Ye Qingxuan, "We will always wait for your call at sea."
"Thank you very much."
Ye Qingxuan flipped out of the side of the ship and stood in the sky, waving his hand to signal them to retreat further, and further, until the Nomadic Mountain became an invisible dot in the distant sky.
This distance should be about the same.
He stretched out his hand, pulled out the New Testament from the void, held the sword hilt upside down, and pointed it at the fog below and the phantom of the Great Wall looming behind the fog. Then, a shattering and blazing electric light lit up on the sword's edge.
"Bai Xi, I'm here."
He whispered softly.
At that moment, thunder fell from the sky!
