It formed a sharp contrast with Perrin's yellow warbler, and her voice seemed to be damaged due to fatigue, but her eyes were everywhere, making people unable to help but follow her, as if there was some kind of magical attraction.

Even the emperors of the two countries were watching intently. A man in the audience suddenly stood up.

If anyone pays attention, they will see that this man is King Rui.

But at this moment, people's hearts are not on him.

Looking back at the flower-like lights/Before I speak, I feel shy/I comb my thoughts lightly/Hold my hands lightly/Let my hair entangle my eyes

So flowers fill the sky and happiness spreads / spreads the past joys and sorrows / so the stunning beauty remains unchanged / the beauty instantly becomes eternal

At this moment, the sky is full of flowers and happiness is around me/There are thousands of mountains and rivers on both sides of me/At this moment, the beauty of the country is with me forever/Forever, the quiet night is as gentle as a song

The performance was very quiet, and the dancers did not dance. In the music, the lyrics were like sand and water between fingers, gurgling and flowing, and the men, women, old and young who seemed to be very strange in the scene had their own interpretations.

They are acting out a story.

As the gauze woman sang softly, she took off her veil.

At that moment, all that could be heard was the sound of a wine glass breaking as it tumbled down from the table of the Northern Lord Qiao Zhenning, and the sound of wine dripping onto the white jade.

Perhaps, before this, you could point out what kind of beauty it was, whether it was delicate or emerald, red or green, but the woman before you can only be described by those four words.

Stunning beauty.

There was a flower ornament on one side of her cheek, which should have been painted on her forehead, but she used it on her cheek. It would obviously be abrupt but it was not noticeable. The rose-red and purple flower was set off by her sea-blue brocade skirt. The blue bird on the skirt was affectionate but proudly ready to fly, which was dazzling.

Perhaps, beauty is never a kind of beauty, but a feeling.

She is the person in the story.

The man with extraordinary temperament was her childhood sweetheart. Unfortunately, her lover fell in love with someone else and died unexpectedly. Her family also encountered misfortunes and needed money, so she had to marry him.

The husband was a scholar and his family was not well-off. He fell in love with her at first sight. Despite being engaged since childhood, he tore up the engagement and spent all his family wealth to help her marry him.

Although their family was poor, they found joy in the midst of adversity. He used to draw her eyebrows with a bronze mirror; she used to read books with him; she used to give him flowers, and he pinned them in her hair for her.

Thus, her dead love was rekindled.

They went through the most difficult times, and she managed the household and worked outside for him until he passed the imperial examination.

The lady who was engaged to him found a man who looked like her lover and often lingered outside her house. She was tempted to meet him, but they stopped after the first meeting. The lady told her husband's mother and husband about it, and bought the maid in the house. She said that there was something private about it. She explained, but her husband refused to believe it. Her husband's mother ordered her to marry the lady, and he agreed.

The past is like the wind.

When the lyrics ended, she stood on the ground looking at the flowers lying on the ground and a pair of beautiful figures in the distance.

When the lights were lit again, and he was thanking Perrin's court musicians and dancers, Qiaochu's suppressed nervousness suddenly surged up. This was a piece of music that Perrin had arranged on the spot, and the hidden meaning was obvious. What would he think? And would the people in the hall like this live MV

Everyone was kneeling. The hall was silent and there was no applause.

The emperor didn't say anything. She and Peilan became more and more nervous. Qiaochu remembered the purpose of this fight. She gritted her teeth, looked at the emperor, then looked at the King of Xixia, and said with a smile: "I wonder if my emperor and the King of Xixia are satisfied with the performance?"

The Xixia King was startled, suddenly stood up, stepped out, walked to her, stretched out his hand and pressed her shoulder, "Satisfied, very satisfied, beauty, please get up quickly."

"who is she?"

"Who is this woman? Whose daughter is she?"

At this time, as if asking the King of Western Xia to break the silence, voices of questions and comments began to rise from all over the hall.

Qiaochu was slightly startled. The man in front of her had dark eyes full of aggression, like a wild animal ready to pounce on its prey. She didn't want to be touched by him. Just as she was hesitating, a hand had already half embraced her in his arms. The man smiled and said, "My humble self has shown me your ugliness. I hope the King of Xixia is satisfied."

"She is the princess of King Rui?"

"Yes, she is the most outstanding concubine of this king."

The King of Western Xia was stunned for a moment, and glanced over in surprise and suspicion. There was clear resentment in his eyes, and he turned away and returned to his seat.

Everyone in the palace was stunned, but upon closer inspection, the flower ornaments on the woman's face seemed to be where the scars were from before, and her eyes also vaguely looked the same as before. But how could she become what she is now

The emperor also stood up at this time, with a complicated look on his face. In fact, long before Shangguan Jinghong responded, he had heard a northern man and a nanny behind Qiao Zhenning and his wife startled and whispered "Third Princess".

Of course, Shangguan Jinghong heard it too, so he did not hide Qiaochu's identity any more. He answered the emperor who already knew about the Jueyan Pill with a faint smile, "Queen Fengqing is good at raising poisons. Qiaochu was accidentally injured by the poison before and changed his appearance. Now he has just recovered. Otherwise, could it be that Lord Qiao and the Queen deliberately poisoned Qiaochu to prevent him from participating in the imperial concubine selection? Right, Lord Qiao? "

After hearing this imitation of Chunfeng's words, people immediately understood what was going on. Qiao Zhenning and Feng Qing's faces changed drastically. Seeing that Shangguan Jinghong had a smile on his lips but a very cold expression, they were very afraid.

Among the hundreds of people in the field, no one actually knew the strong shock in Shangguan Jinghong's heart.

How could he not recognize the woman's clothing, voice, and appearance even if they had changed

He squeezed her hand, feeling both hatred and love.

He hated her for not loving him, but in fact, even though he hated her, he thought in his heart that Shen Qingling had not done this until last night, which meant that there was someone behind her. As for who this person was, the prince or the emperor...

Putting her in jail was partly out of hatred and partly for her safety.

Of course, he would never let her know what was on his mind.

He really hated her, and he hated himself even more for worrying about her safety all the time.

He could protect her, but he didn't want to love her deeply anymore. He would imprison her and never see her again. One day, he would give up on her.

Maybe it would be better to let Shen Qingling continue to stay with him. After all, she did accompany him through the most difficult years. But he later gave up Shen Qingling because of her.

On this side, from the performance of the King of Xixia, Peilan knew that the idea discussed with Qiaochu was feasible. After the emperor praised her, she bowed and asked, "Thank you, King Xixia, for the reward."

The King of Xixia was startled, and then he remembered his previous promise. He cursed in his heart, smiled, and said to the female official behind him: "Reward."

Peilan's heart tightened, and she glanced at Qiaochu secretly. Qiaochu nodded slightly, so she followed Qiaochu's instructions and said with a smile, "The King of Xixia is a guest from afar, how can we ask for rewards from him? How about the reward be given by our emperor? Your Majesty, Peilan has overstepped her bounds."

Although the emperor had many thoughts in his mind at this time, Qiaochu's performance finally crushed Xixia's arrogance, and Peilan's words were a blow to the King of Xixia. He was very happy and said, "How can you say it's beyond your rights? What does Princess Ning want?"

That's it! Peilan's eyes lit up, and he knelt again with the people in the Yuefu, and replied: "Peilan and the Yuefu believe that this reward should be received by Concubine Qiao."

The emperor was startled, and slowly looked at Qiaochu - he felt his heart fluttering at the sight of her. He suddenly remembered the enclosure, where she had given the reward to King Xia. It felt like a lifetime ago.

Finally, he asked calmly, "What does Concubine Qiao want?"

"The Changfei Palace was destroyed by a fire. Qiaochu begs the emperor to send craftsmen to repair it. Qiaochu is willing to stay in the palace and do his best to help."

As Qiaochu answered, everyone in the hall was stunned, and they all thought that she and Shangguan Jinghong were indeed deeply in love.

The emperor was slightly shocked, and finally said in a low voice: "Yes."

Only Shangguan Jinghong understood Qiaochu's real intention.

This way, he could no longer imprison her.

Sitting down, he violently slammed her hand away.

According to the seating arrangement, Qiaochu was currently sitting between Shangguan Jinghong and Shen Qingling. She smiled bitterly and said:

"Jinghong, I know that once you imprison me, you will never let me go and will never see me again. I have no choice but to do this... I will wait for you in the palace."

Shangguan Jinghong smiled faintly and said nothing. Ah Xiu received a glance from Shen Qingling and asked respectfully from behind: "Master, have you gone to Jiangnan to pay a visit to Master Shen's mother as scheduled?"

"As expected."

Shangguan Jinghong did not hesitate at all.

The shock and anger in her heart began to subside, and Shen Qingling glanced at her with a smile.

Qiaochu slowly picked up a glass of wine on the table, took a sip, reached out to hold Shangguan Jinghong's hand, and said softly: "I will wait for you until I can't wait any longer."

Shangguan Jinghong snatched her wine glass and slammed her hand away again, "You can't wait any longer."

Qiaochu didn't say anything else. She had said everything she could say, but she saw Shangguan Jinghong staring indifferently at the desk opposite her.

Shangguan Jingcong and Shangguan Jinghao are both over there.

Shangguan Jingcong's face was still a little pale, but his bright eyes were not dull despite his illness. He just frowned tightly, and his hand was tightly stroking his chin, staring at her side, as if he was trying hard to think of something. It seemed that it was a distant thing buried in his memory.

Shangguan Jinghao's expression was even weirder. She didn't know how to describe it. His eyes were extremely dark, as if he were a demon. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Something seemed to have happened in the hall, so she quickly focused her attention and looked over. At this moment, Mo Cunfeng was holding a tray and walking in front of the Xixia king and his men - it was the things that were dug out from the tree roots washed away by the rain in the imperial garden that day.

The emperor smiled and looked at the King of Western Xia with a very sharp gaze, saying that Princess Yinping was very knowledgeable and had asked about the history of natural objects. Dongling, a small country, was lucky enough to understand it. But then a strange object fell from the sky, and Dongling did not recognize it. He wondered if the knowledgeable and great country of Western Xia could give her some advice.

This time, it was the King of Xixia and his ministers who looked unhappy, and none of them could identify what was on the plate. The King of Xixia looked at Cai Ning and Yun Ji, and they also shook their heads slowly.

Qiaochu knew about these odds and ends, but she never expected that it was this thing that made her curious when she mentioned it to the servant. It did not belong to this continent.

The barrel, the gun frame, the firing pin, the magazine... It was a disassembled pistol, how could the people here recognize it? But how could a modern pistol appear here? .

Could it be that there is a place here that overlaps with some place in the modern times... and time and space have overlapped, and things from there have come over, but why has it been a gun

This gave her a chilling feeling, and the dream and the scene before Qin Ge's death became clear in her mind again.

Everyone in the hall looked at it one after another, but none of them could identify it. The King of Western Xia was helpless and forced a smile, saying, "Since it is a rare object, even the talented people in Dongling cannot identify it, so it is not surprising that we don't know it."

The emperor smiled back, which was meaningful. Just as he was about to ask Mo Cunfeng to take back the tray, a voice laughed softly and said, "Your Majesty, Qingling thinks, Qingling knows what it is."

When they heard Shen Qingling say that she had seen it in ancient books, that it was a weapon that could hurt people deeply, people were amazed after praising it. How could those few black holes really hurt people

The emperor ordered the Imperial Observatory to take it back for further study. Shen Qingling said, "Concubine Qiao is very knowledgeable. I think she was the one who explained the Heart-to-Heart Gu that day. If she examines it carefully, she may recognize it. It is not certain that this thing can be used once it is installed."

As she spoke, she walked out, took the tray from Mo Cunfeng's hand, and walked towards Qiao Chu.

It is also appropriate to have something to do with the mirror.

Qiaochu was not like Shen Qingling, who hoped to be a so-called "knowledgeable" person, but when the plate got closer, she saw the words engraved on the gun barrel at a glance.

That was a time.

x year x month x day.

This is... the day when she and Qin Ge first met.

Is it a coincidence or something.

She was stunned for a moment. Could this be Qin Ge's gun

She looked carefully and found that it was indeed the model of the pistol that Qin Ge carried with him.

As if she had her own will, she walked out and slowly picked up the things on the plate... There were gasps in the room, and then it slowly quieted down.

That is, she already has a complete "weapon" in her hand.

Shen Qingling was next to Qiaochu and saw it all clearly. She was shocked. Her initial intention was just to give Qiaochu a warning and she didn't expect that she would carry a gun.

Such a clean and neat technique.

In fact, Qiaochu loaded the gun just to make sure it was Qin Ge's gun.

That feeling of holding it in your hands.

Although, it was impossible to feel anything at all.

But she did it anyway. Qin Ge taught her how to load a gun, and she taught Qin Ge how to recognize oracle bones.

They had been so happy in those days.

In different time and space, the lights are bright and bustling now, what is happening over there

But now, Shangguan Jinghong was so far away from her, holding the gun, tears welled up in her eyes.

Shen Qingling didn't care how other people were staring at Qiaochu, or how complicated the expressions of Lang Linling, Qiaomei and the others were. She was sure that she didn't want to see Shangguan Jinghong like this. He looked at Qiaochu, staring at her so closely, as if he was ready to hug her in his arms at any time.

Shen Qingling sneered in her heart, but said gently: "Qiao Fei, can you let me see what's in your hand?"

As she spoke, she suddenly clenched Qiaochu's hand and pressed it against her arm...

Qiaochu was caught off guard and was startled. There was a loud bang, which dissipated in the four corners of the hall, and the echo suddenly spread.

"Don't hit me..." Shen Qingling screamed in pain, his arm was broken, blood gushed out, and he retreated.

People were shocked, and immediately realized that what Shen Qingling said was true, this thing could cause serious harm to people.

Qiao Chu calmed down and watched indifferently as Shangguan Jinghong jumped out, took Shen Qingling into his arms, took out a handkerchief and pressed it tightly on her arm. His eyes were as sharp as lightning and pointed at her.

Did he think she hurt Shen Qingling

Qiaochu's heart turned cold overnight, and he turned the gun and pointed it at himself.

"Sister-in-law, don't!"

In a trance, Qiaochu saw the surprise on people's faces, the Xixia entourage, the emperor, the empress, Concubine Zhuang, her father, Feng Qing... Shangguan Jinghao pushed the table and stood up. A white shadow jumped out from the table and ran towards her.
