The next day, when Qiaochu arrived at the door of Shangguan Jinghao's cell in the arms of Shangguan Jinghong, Shangguan Jingcong's bloody face flashed before his eyes and he remembered what he said.
Qiaochu, you are worried that he wants more than just this world.
If there is not only the world, then there is also... the Three Realms, the entire heaven and earth.
Shangguan Jinghong has changed.
———————————
459 Where is the Returning Wild Goose: Finale (Part 3)
Fei Tian is not a person who values power and lust, but Shangguan Jinghong now wants to control the three realms. Shangguan Jinghao is very dangerous, and it is his cooperation with Shangguan Jingcong that makes everything come true.
He doesn't care if he loses her.
No, Qiaochu told himself.
He was ambitious. She proposed, and although he frowned, he still agreed.
Shangguan Jingcong was seriously injured and had been sent back to the palace to rest. She was so worried that she couldn't sleep at night. If she hadn't been unable to move, she would have gone to see him yesterday. Aside from the sword wound in his face, his appearance...
Shangguan Jinghong had agreed that once the matter was settled, he would take her to see him and have a good talk with Shangguan Jingcong. The three of them had a good talk. Yesterday, she had a miscarriage, and Shangguan Jinghong was also scared. After giving her acupuncture and medicine, he stayed with her all the time until her condition improved a little today.
Maybe it was because of her pregnancy, or maybe it was some other reason, she always felt uneasy, as if she had never really felt at ease since she entered the Rui Wang Mansion. So, she insisted on coming here today, and she also hoped to resolve Shangguan Jinghao's matter as soon as possible, so she went to visit Shangguan Jingcong.
The two were followed by Shangguan Jinghong's confidants, and Prince Ning and others also came.
Shangguan Jinghong hugged her and suddenly stopped.
In front, Lao Tie and Jing Ping walked to the heavy iron door. The secret guards guarding the door saluted her and Shangguan Jinghong, and Lao Tie took out the key.
Before she met Shangguan Jinghao, she was still Xiaoman, and her memory was sealed. Her love and hatred for Shangguan Jinghong was greater than her fear of this person, but now her memory has all returned. The scenes before her death emerged clearly from the bottom of her heart. Although she was trying to adjust, her body still couldn't help shaking slightly. They haven't even entered yet.
Shangguan Jinghong was aware of even the slightest movement of Qiaochu, not to mention that he already knew that she was afraid of Shangguan Jinghao.
Pulling her closer to him, Shangguan Jinghong said, "Chu'er, don't go in. Uncle Tie will go in and do it himself. If you are worried, Dong Ning is rubbing her hands together. Let her go in with the beauty. Maybe you want Fifth Brother and the others to go in together. I will stay here with you."
Dong Ning saw Qiaochu's face was very pale, and said anxiously: "Yes, Sister Qiao, we can go in, you wait here. I'm afraid you can't bear to see that kind of scene, the baby won't be able to bear it."
Qiaochu frowned and said nothing. Prince Ning squeezed Peilan's hand, and Peilan also tried to persuade him. The beauty came up from behind, held Qiaochu's arm, and whispered, "Master, I'm here, I'll definitely take good care of you."
Qiaochu patted her hands. Seeing that his old friend Jing Pingfangming and others also looked worried, he felt warm in his heart. After thinking for a while, he still said, "Jinghong, I have to see it myself to feel at ease."
"You don't believe me after all."
Shangguan Jinghong smiled self-deprecatingly, put his big hand on her belly, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his eyes.
Qiaochu, with her big belly, leaned tiredly in his arms. She was preoccupied with something and did not notice his expression at the moment.
Everyone saw it clearly and were frightened for a moment. Shangguan Jinghong was strict with everyone but had almost no temper towards Qiaochu. However, Qiaochu's persistence at this moment was not a good thing.
No one has forgotten the brutal look on Shangguan Jinghong's face when he rushed back to the palace with Qiaochu in his arms yesterday.
He was more worried about this child than Qiaochu and they imagined, and was worried about the impact of any accidents on Qiaochu's body.
Zong Pu bowed and said to Shangguan Jinghong: "Your Majesty, rather than letting Madam stay out there speculating and worrying, which will be bad for Madam's health, why not let Madam go in—"
Dong Ning glared at him fiercely. Zong Pu thought of what she said yesterday, and felt sweet in his heart. He pulled her over and whispered, "Xiaoyao, I know you are worried about mother's health, but it is better to make her feel at ease. You and mother are like sisters, I..." He smiled bitterly, "I will never do that to her in the future..."
Dong Ning bit her lip and turned around, only to see Zuo Bing staring at her with his eyes half dark.
Finally, Shangguan Jinghong glanced at Qiaochu and said to Laotie, "Open the door."
At the sound of "clang", Qiaochu's heart pounded, but he still looked forward firmly. A man in black clothes, with cold eyes and eyebrows, who looked like Shangguan Jinghong, was sitting cross-legged on the bed.
Although his hands and feet were entangled with extremely heavy chains, his body was clean and it seemed that this man was not having a bad life.
When he saw the crowd, a hint of alarm flashed across his eyes, but he smiled faintly and said, "Feitian, why did you suddenly feel like bringing so many people to visit your brother?"
"Who's looking at you? We're here to kill you!" Dong Ning said in a deep voice. The beauty next to her had already drawn the sword from her waist.
Shangguan Jinghao's expression changed, and a lazy smile soon appeared on the corner of his mouth. He stared at Shangguan Jinghong calmly, "You will never touch me. Only I can help..."
He stopped talking suddenly, as if he had discovered something strange. He looked at Qiao Chu and his voice changed, saying sternly, "Qiao Ruolan, did you ask him to kill me?"
Everyone stared at him, alert and silent. It goes without saying that in the whole world, only this woman could move a king or a Buddha.
Qiaochu looked at the coldness and murderous intent in the man's eyes. Although he was shocked, he nodded and said, "It's me."
Although she was afraid of the pain of death he would bring her, she couldn't let him stay. Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor, if there is an afterlife, she would let him seek revenge on her in the next life, but she couldn't let him destroy everything now.
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard clanging sounds suddenly coming from all directions, which made her panic. A black shadow came towards her with great force, as if a ferocious eagle stretched out its sharp claws to grab her head. She was startled to see a big hand covering her eyes, followed by a muffled groan, which passed heavily by her ears and then slid down.
She was held tightly in someone's arms and moved in one direction. She said anxiously, "Jinghong, let go."
"Qiaochu, you always make me feel uncomfortable."
Beside her ear, the man sighed to himself, and the pressure in her eyes suddenly disappeared. She looked around and saw Shangguan Jinghao standing motionless beside her, only a few inches away from her, staring at her with eyes wide open. A strong fishy smell slowly fell from his heart, and a long sword sank deeply into his left chest. The end of the sharp edge, without trembling, was the hand of Shangguan Jinghong, who was holding the hilt tightly.
460 Where is the Returning Wild Goose: Finale (Part 4)
The leader was still a little dizzy. Qiaochu stroked his head and sat up with some difficulty.
The curtains were half-open, and inside the room, a lamp was on. Was it night? She vaguely remembered seeing Shangguan Jinghao die, and she was still frightened and fainted in Shangguan Jinghong's arms.
She seems to have been asleep till now.
She looked at the empty bed. Where had Shangguan Jinghong gone
The lights in the room were dim, and mottled shadows fell everywhere. Those shadows swayed gently, as if they would jump over at any time. She smiled bitterly. She was really getting timid. Shangguan Jinghong was not here at this time. There must be something urgent to deal with. She squinted her eyes, slightly pulled up the bed curtains, and wanted to ask the maid to come in and turn up the lights. Suddenly, a ball of coldness covered her hand. That touch... It was a human hand. She was delighted and looked up and said, "Jinghong..."
"Qiao Ruolan, do you think I'm going to die like this... Since you dared to let Fei Tian kill me, I will kill the bastard in your belly right now!"
The voice slowly sounded, but it was not Shangguan Jinghong's. When they met, she could see clearly that Shangguan Jinghong's heart was bleeding, his eyes were bulging, and there was deep hatred in his eyes...
No, not Shangguan Jinghong.
It’s him, Shangguan Jinghao.
He is not dead yet
Or what has he become? Qiaochu was horrified, watching his five fingers like claws reaching towards her abdomen fiercely. She didn't know where she got the courage and strength to raise her hand to push and grab her arm...
His expression changed rapidly, and he slapped her forehead with his palm.
“Jinghong…” The palm wind was cold and frosty, Qiaochu was shocked, knowing that she couldn’t stop it no matter what, the child… Fear quickly spread from the bottom of her heart to her limbs and bones, she screamed Shangguan Jinghong’s name—
"Qiaochu, Qiaochu, wake up... Be good, wake up, I'm here."
What covered her forehead was a warm and dry hand, not the biting cold and ferocious feeling. Qiaochu opened her eyes suddenly, and saw the dim light outside the tent. Half of the room was dark and half of the tent was dimly lit. A man with a head of silver hair, as if covered with moonlight, fell on her. He pinched her shoulders, his eyes were full of tension and heartache, but there was also a hint of some emotion. She secretly identified that it seemed to be anger.
It was just a dream. She stared at him blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
He pursed his lips and finally held him tightly in his arms.
"Jinghong..."
"You deserve it. I told you not to look but you had to."
"I… "
"Am I so unworthy of your trust?"
His hand gently stroked her back, but his voice was low and gloomy. Qiaochu had nightmares repeatedly and was worried about Shangguan Jingcong's injury. She was already feeling uncomfortable. Now she heard that he not only did not comfort her but also blamed her. She got angry and reached out to push him, "Yes, it's me who hindered your great cause. You are the King of Dongling and the master of the Three Realms. You have everything you want. A mere woman is not worth exchanging your vast land for..."
"You are unreasonable!"
Shangguan Jinghong's voice grew deeper. He let her go and stared at her closely, anger in his eyes. "You don't value your own body, but I do. You like to mess with our child, but I still want it. As long as it's what you want, there's nothing I can't give you. Why do you have to accuse me of a crime, or do you resent me for hurting Shangguan Jingcong? Do you know how many times you called his name in your dream last night? Hmm?"
When Qiaochu heard him talk about his body, she softened and even wanted to apologize to him. She wanted to tell him that she was so stubborn for their future and children. When she heard him mention Shangguan Jingcong, she was so angry that she trembled and pushed him away with all her strength, "Yes, yes, I was thinking about him, but I chose you to stay in this palace. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Shangguan Jinghong was afraid of hurting her, so she resisted and he could only tiptoe and let her do it. Seeing her heavy belly shrinking inward and her eyes red, he understood her thoughts of going to the cell, but some things, plus Shangguan Jingcong... The choking voice came softly, and his heart ached. He wanted to hug her, but she looked at him fiercely.
"Your Majesty, it is already the fifth watch, we need to adjourn the court today..."
Outside, Fang Ming's voice came cautiously. Shangguan Jinghong had not slept all night, guarding the person in front of him, taking her pulse from time to time. Knowing that she was in good condition, he still couldn't let her go. But he also thought that he couldn't be too accommodating to her in everything, otherwise she would look down on him.
He wanted her to care about him more than Shangguan Jingcong.
Finally, he glanced at her, put on his clothes and went out without saying a word.
*
Imperial Garden.
Qiaochu felt that she was really crazy. Quarrels between lovers and couples were not uncommon. Even though she and Shangguan Jinghong had gone through many twists and turns and suffered many hardships to get to where they are today, she was absent-minded for a long time, silently listening to Dong Ning, Peilan and the Seventh Princess chatting, thinking only of him in her heart, and not saying a word - they had made an appointment to meet again today, she didn't know whether it was spontaneous or at Shangguan Jinghong's order, but she didn't ask in the end. She suddenly realized that she didn't want to hear a negative answer.
On this side, everyone saw Qiaochu's depressed look and thought it was lucky that she came. They saw that she was tired last night and wanted her to have a good rest. They had no plan to go to the palace today. But before dawn, an imperial edict came from the palace...
Dong Ning's eyes rolled and she was about to talk to Qiao Chu when a eunuch came to report that Concubine Shen was here to visit.
Everyone was startled when they heard this. Yesterday it was Shangguan Jingcong, and today it was Shen Qingling. Qiaochu thought about it and asked the eunuch to bring her in.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Shen Qingling seemed like a different person, her face was extremely haggard. When she saw Qiaochu, a bit of joy suddenly appeared in her eyes, and then she looked at Dong Ning and the others, and her expression changed slightly.
"What's up."
With three lifetimes of memories, Qiao Chu didn't know how to address her. She didn't let Shangguan Jinghong kill her or anything like that, but it didn't mean that she didn't hate or dislike this woman in her heart.
Shen Qingling looked at the others, a hint of hesitation flashed across her eyes. Qiaochu seemed to see through her thoughts and said softly, "Fifth Sister-in-law and the others are my good friends. If you have anything to say, just speak up."
Shen Qingling gritted her teeth and was about to speak when a eunuch came over and reported that the Queen Mother wanted to see her.
The Queen is here too? Did something happen in the palace? Lian Qiaochu was also puzzled.
——————————
461 Where is the Returning Wild Goose: Finale (V)
When the eunuch brought Lang Linling over, Qiaochu saw that there was a woman beside her, which made him feel even more strange.
The woman had a pretty face, but her eyes were red and her expression was sad.
When they met, Lang Linling was slightly startled when she saw Shen Qingling, then smiled faintly and said, "Sister Shen, what are you doing here? I hope I won't disturb you."
Shen Qingling smiled and replied, saying that she heard that Concubine Qiao was ill and was worried, so she came to visit. The Queen Mother must have important business to visit, so why not discuss it with Concubine Qiao first, and Qingling will be equal.
After she said that, she just stood aside, with no intention of leaving, as if she wanted to watch the fun.
Qiaochu had some guesses at this time.
