The two escaped the surrounding guards, quietly left Changle Palace, and came to a remote place. It was colder than Changle Palace, and one could feel a penetrating chill from a distance. If her guess is correct, this dilapidated and gloomy palace should be the nightmare of women in the harem—Lenggong. She was sure that she had never been to this place, but after looking around at the bare tree branches and the bleak scenery, she felt very familiar.
Emperor Qiyun took her to jump in from the slightly lower courtyard wall on one side, and was locked in the empty and cold courtyard and hall. There was a thick layer of dry fallen leaves in the courtyard, and no one cleaned it. As soon as she stepped on it, there was a slight sound under her feet. The cold wind swept by, rolled up the dead leaves, and swirled around them. Occasionally, a slice would pass across her cheek, causing slight pain.
He frowned, raised his hand and flicked it, his eyes swept across the side of the courtyard inadvertently, and saw a small bluestone remnant, which seemed to have appeared in her dream. She froze for a moment, raised her eyes slightly, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a foot on the stele, and the slender ankle was slowly flying into the air. She looked up and saw a petite and thin body in the air under the tall plane tree behind the stele. Fluttering. It was a little girl, about seven or eight years old. The girl stuck out her long tongue and stared at her with round eyes. The cold white moonlight shone on the girl's ferocious and terrifying expression, which made people tremble uncontrollably.
She stopped involuntarily.
Seeing that she didn't leave, Emperor Qiyun followed her gaze and asked in confusion, "Rong'er, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Manyao regained consciousness, closed her eyes and opened them again, there was nothing there again.
Is she dazzled? But the scene just now felt so real.
"This looks so familiar," she murmured unconsciously.
Emperor Qiyun was slightly stunned, and then smiled casually: "You forgot? You have lived here for more than ten years, so you will naturally feel familiar."
Manyao was taken aback, she really forgot. No wonder there was such a strange feeling, it turned out to be Rongle's memory again. She frowned and said, "Who did you bring me here to meet?"
Emperor Qiyun said: "An old friend of yours."
Man Yao's eyes paused, old friend? Wouldn't he be suspicious and want to test him? I don't know when this body of hers received the "destiny"? If it was late, it would be understandable that she didn't know Rong Le's old friend, but what if it was early? She frowned and thought for a while, trying to find an excuse to refuse.
Emperor Qiyun seemed to have read her mind, held her hand without refusal, and pouted towards the opposite yard, "It's right there, don't worry, she must be the person you want to see. Let's go."
It seems that she has no way to refuse, let's talk when we meet.
In Xiyuan, the empty and simple house at the far side. They pushed the dilapidated door and gently closed it.
The room was narrow and deep, and it was empty inside, without even a bed, only a few white silks hanging from the beams, fluttering and swinging in the airy room, like a ghost dancing.
As she walked through it, the cold white silk occasionally brushed across her neck, carrying a breath of death, which made her hair stand on end, and she couldn't help but her palms were full of cold sweat.
Emperor Qiyun felt her body tremble, turned his head and asked, "Rong'er, are you afraid?"
Man Yao took a deep breath, calmed himself down and frowned and asked, "Where are you talking about?"
Emperor Qiyun looked at the corner in front of him, "It's right there."
Man Yao followed his gaze and looked between the two white silks. At the end of the front, the wall peeled off and was mottled with gray. At the corner, a thin woman sat on a wooden board with her knees in her arms, as if sleeping. caught. The woman's hair was disheveled and her body was thin. She couldn't see her face, but she vaguely recognized her clothes.
Brother Huang said he was an old friend, could it be... She was startled suddenly, it seemed that Ke'er was wearing this dress on the city wall of Wucheng that day!
"Ke'er?" She cried out in shock, Emperor Qiyun hurriedly covered her mouth, motioning her to keep her voice down.
Man Yao pushed him away, ran over quickly, grabbed the woman's shoulders, and whispered, "Ke'er, is that you? Ke'er?"
The woman raised her head in a daze, the moonlight shone on her face through the shabby window, Man Yao only took one look, and she was stunned there.
The woman was sleepy, looked at her, and murmured in a daze, "I dreamed about the princess sister again." Her voice was a little ethereal, full of longing and loss. After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and lowered his head again.
Man Yao's hands were slightly stiff. That voice was clearly Xiao Ke. However, which face was once clean and spotless, like a doll's delicate and lovely face, but now it is dirty, like a beggar on the street. His face became more and more black and white.
Man Tian only felt his nose sore, how could Ke'er be like this? She quickly squatted down, held Xiao Ke's face, and lifted it up, "Ke'er, wake up, you are not dreaming, it is really me. You wake up... Why are you here? You are here How long have you been there?"
Xiao Ke opened her eyes again, with a little bit of clarity, she blinked her big eyes, looked at the familiar face close at hand, glanced once, then glanced again...
"Huh? Why is Sister Princess still here?" He raised his hand and squeezed his dirty face, "Oh! It hurts!"
The strike was too heavy, and she jumped up suddenly in pain, jumping back and forth clutching the place she had grabbed.
Looking at her almost funny appearance, Man Yao couldn't laugh at all, but felt distressed. She stood up, grabbed Xiao Ke's hand, and said again: "Ke'er."
Xiao Ke was stunned, she felt pain just now! It's not a dream! Stand still and look at the person in front of you with your eyes wide open. Looking from top to bottom, it seemed as if he was afraid of admitting mistakes carefully.
"Princess Sister?! Princess Sister..." As soon as Xiao Ke was sure it was her, he immediately rushed towards her and hugged her tightly, like a helpless child who finally saw his relatives, full of tears. The grievances are vented with tears.
Man Yao hurriedly hugged Xiao Ke who rushed over, and patted her on the back lightly, "It's me."
Xiao Ke's tears flowed even more fiercely, she held Man Yao's clothes tightly with her hands, as if she was afraid that if she let go, Man Yao would suddenly disappear like in her dream.
Man Yao felt her body tremble slightly, and comforted her gently, "Ke'er, don't be afraid."
Xiao Ke cried for a while, then gradually stopped, looked up at the fluttering white silk, and said in a trembling voice: "Sister Princess, you don't know how scary this place is! I've been here for five months, and I'm still not used to it. There is nothing in the place, only these white silks and the dead people who came here to hang themselves. I really want to leave...but the poison on my body has been used up long ago, so I can't get out...I think here It's scary, there are so many ghosts... they sing to me every night... "
Xiao was a person who hadn't suffered much, and the world in his heart had always been brighter. Now he was with the dead and locked up in such a gloomy place for several months, almost collapsed.
Every late at night, she would always think of those crab-meat corpses and rivers of blood under the city wall that day. She always felt that there were ghosts everywhere around her. Come vent your anger. She was afraid, but no matter how she yelled, no one paid any attention to her. The people outside treated her like a lunatic.
Man Yao wiped away the tears on her face, and said distressedly: "Didn't I ask General Yao Fu to send you back to the palace? Why did you come here?"
Xiao Ke said angrily: "Vice-general Yao and I were stopped by a group of men in black on the way back to the palace. They were so good at martial arts, and Vice-general Yao was killed by them. I didn't have much poison on me, so it wasn't easy. Caught by them and brought here."
Man Yao frowned, turned to look at Emperor Qiyun, and asked Xiao Ke: "Who arrested you? What is the purpose of arresting you?"
Xiao Ke thought for a while and said: "I don't know who they are, I heard they said they wanted to arrest you, princess sister, but they didn't see you, so they arrested me and locked me in this ghost place. Oh, by the way, I heard a woman mention "Destiny", saying that I am the apprentice of "Xuegu Shengnv", maybe there is a way to extend someone's life? The master said that "Destiny" has no solution, if I have a way , I will save my sister first, but..." She said as she lowered her head, feeling extremely sad.
Emperor Qiyun's face moved slightly, and a strange emotion flashed in his ice-gray eyes, which was instantly covered up.
Man Yao frowned, could it be that there are people in this palace who, like her, have also been poisoned by the "Mandate of Heaven"? And to arrest Xiao Ke, it must be the Queen Mother's person. Could it be that the Queen Mother wanted to arrest her five months ago? So, what was the purpose of Brother Huang setting up a trap at that time, attacking Wucheng, bringing her in, and taking her away quietly? Is it for confinement? Or to save her? If he used the lives of 300,000 people just to prevent her from falling into his mother's hands, is this... possible? She really didn't get it.
Turning his head, he saw the man standing in the dark, his figure was quiet and thin, Man Yao stared at him for a moment, but there was no answer. Then he asked Xiao Ke again: "Since you came, have you met anyone?"
Xiao Ke said: "I have seen a man in black, it seems to be the leader of those people, his whole body is covered with black cloth, only a pair of eyes are exposed..."
"Heavenly Vengeance Sect Master?"
"Oh yes, they call him the sect master."
Isn't the head of the Tianqiu Sect related to Fu Yuan? Why do you work for the Empress Dowager Qiyun? What kind of connection is there between them
Just as she was thinking, Emperor Qiyun said at this moment: "It's getting late, Xiao Ke, show her what's wrong with her body?"
Xiao Ke seemed to have noticed him only now, and was taken aback. She remembered that when she came, she heard that Emperor Qiyun had died.
"you you you... ... ."
Manyao hurriedly said: "Don't worry, he is a human, not a ghost. The one who was shot to death by my arrow was a substitute he found."
Only then did Xiao Ke feel relieved. Seeing that her belly was flat, she remembered to ask about the child. Manyao briefly described what had happened in the past few months. Afterwards, Xiao Ke felt her pulse, without raising her eyebrows. Manyao knew that the poison of "destiny" was deep, so she didn't ask any more questions. Emperor Qiyun accepted the prescription for stomach problems and took Manyao away, but Xiao Ke could only continue to be patient. In order to prevent the Queen Mother from becoming suspicious, he had to stay in the cold palace for a while.
The border of Qiyun Kingdom.
Zongzheng Wuyou and Zongzheng Wuchou would never have dreamed that one day, the two of them would join forces to attack Qiyun Kingdom. Although there was no clear alliance, the purpose was indeed the same.
Last time at Yumenguan, Zongzheng Wuchou ordered a trip, which was unexpected by Zongzheng Wuyou. This time, the two dynasties of Lintian Kingdom joined hands. Although they had grievances and were speechless to each other, they cooperated very tacitly when fighting. And Zongzheng Wuyou had the Heavenly Book in his hand, the two armies attacked the city and plundered the land like a broken bamboo.
When the news of the southern and northern dynasties' invasion of Huidu came to the palace, Man Yao had been in the palace for nearly a month, and she still hadn't seen the queen mother, and the emperor seemed to be very busy. He came back from the cold palace that night, and he showed her After turning off the medicine several times, she never saw him again.
She waited after the third watch every night and went out to investigate, but so far there was no news of the child. She became more and more anxious, without the medicine of the emperor's brother, she felt that her body was getting worse and worse, she was getting tired more and more easily, her breathing was not smooth, and every time she couldn't take a breath, she would wonder if she would just die like that, Never see Wuyou again, never see her child again.
The moonlight is cold and the wind is cold.
After the fourth watch of the day, she came to the roof of Cixi Palace again, avoiding the guards watching the night, and carefully lifted the tiles to check one by one. The surrounding was extremely quiet, she turned around, thinking that she was going to return in vain, at this moment, there was a faint sound of children's cries and laughter coming from the courtyard not far away, she was overjoyed, and was busy crying sound away.
It was a deserted courtyard, remote and deserted.
In a small, fully enclosed space, a yellow light was lit. The only thing in the room was a hard plank bed with baffles around it, and a child was lying in it. She nimbly dodged in and walked eagerly to the bed. She was disappointed when she saw it. It was a little girl about one year old. She was pretty, with a pink face, and was extremely cute. But that's not her child!
After the disappointment, she couldn't help wondering, although the emperor has many concubines, but he is still so young, how can he be still here and no one is taking care of him
Strange to say, the little girl was crying, but when she saw her, not only stopped crying, but also looked at her with wide eyes, and suddenly giggled.
Man Yao was slightly stunned, the child's petite appearance was really painful, and the fleshy little hands were stretched out towards her, as if wanting to make her own child, she hugged the child unconsciously. However, just when her hand crossed the baffle in front of her and wanted to pick up the child, she only heard a click sound, which seemed to be the sound of triggering a mechanism, and someone outside immediately called out: "Who is it?"
Man Yao was stunned, and quickly let go of the child, it was too late to leave, this room has no windows, only one door, and outside that door, many masters surrounded in an instant. The person in the lead was the commander of the Imperial Forest Army who "invited" her into the palace that day.
He clasped his hands and stood outside the door, with a look like he had been waiting for a long time, and said: "Princess's inner strength has indeed recovered. The Queen Mother has an order. Since the princess thinks that Changle Palace is too stuffy, please move the place. Princess ,please."
Man Yao looked in the direction, and a woman came out from the corner with a child in her arms. Someone beside the woman carried a palace lantern, and the light was shining on the face of the sleeping child.
"My child!" Man Yao cried out excitedly, and was about to rush over. The commander blocked her way with a horizontal sword, and said in a warning voice: "Princess, don't be impatient, you should think clearly first, and you should think about it first." Clearly, once you rush over, you may not be sure whether the child will survive or not!"
Man Yao saw the child in agitated mood before, so she didn't pay much attention to it. Now when she looked closely, she realized that the woman holding the child was holding a slender and small knife in her hand, and it was pressing against the child's neck. She was shocked. , not daring to act rashly anymore, forced to suppress the panic in his heart, turned his head, forced himself to be calm, and asked coldly to the commander of the Royal Forest Army: "What exactly do you want?"
"We don't want to do anything, but I beg you, princess, to calm down. Is this child alive or dead? It's all up to you." He winked at the woman as he spoke, and the sharp knife in the woman's hand was aimed at the child. Gently stroked on the tender skin, a bright red blood mark was impressively visible, the child felt the pain and woke up crying loudly.
Man Yao was terrified, and Huang said: "Don't hurt him!" After hastily stopping her, she clenched her hands into fists and trembled in her sleeves, what the knife cut was not the child's skin, but a mother's heart. Hearing the child's sharp and hoarse crying, she felt heart-piercing pain, and suppressed the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, her voice was slightly astringent, "Where are you taking me? Let's go."
She turned around, cruelly refraining from looking at the child anymore, she was afraid that if she took one more look, she would rush to snatch it desperately.
The commander of the Royal Forest Army smiled in satisfaction and led the way ahead.
It was a more desolate place than the cold palace. She was a little puzzled. There is such a place in the palace of a queen mother? What surprised her even more was that there was an underground prison hidden in this courtyard, with stone walls and iron bars, which were extremely strong. . After she was locked in, the commander left. Looking at the dark and damp ground, her mind was filled with the crying of children.
Sitting on the ground, she covered her face with her hands and buried herself in her knees.
She has no grievances with the Queen Mother, why does the Queen Mother treat her like this? She remembered that on the last night in Dust Wind Country, before she fell into a coma, someone said in her ear: Forget it. That person should be the head of Tianqiu Sect. What did they make her forget? Could it be that there are some secrets in Rongle's memory that she cannot know? That's why they repeatedly harmed her, trying to put her to death.
What will be the secret
People say that this beautiful woman who was brought back by the former emperor was stupid when she retreated to the Buddhist hall when she was in love. However, at that time, no one would have imagined that after ten years when she was forgotten by everyone , her son—the least favored prince with pale complexion, ascended to the throne. And the other princes all lost their lives one after another in the process of fighting for the throne, which shows how deep this person's scheming is!
These days, Man Yao only focused on looking for children, and did not find a chance to see the queen mother, looking at that scheming woman, what kind of face does the elder have
This night, it was extremely cold, probably because the cell was too hidden, the iron prison bars were too strong, and there was no guard in the dungeon. She wanted to drink water, but no one responded to her hoarse voice. After some time, she closed her mouth. Eyes, leaning against the stone wall, mind cloudy, people seem to have entered a vague illusion.
It was a barren mountain, covered with mist, a seven-year-old girl stood on a high mountain, looking at the deep valley below, the corpses were still torn into pieces by groups of hungry wolves, Swallowed into the stomach, leaving a pile of bones.
The girl's face was calm after the extreme panic and grief, which was not the expression that should be at this age.
With sad pupils and pale lips, the girl said softly but resolutely to the bones in the valley: "Father, mother, I will definitely find the culprit who framed you and avenge you. I believe that Hen'er is still alive. Hen'er and I will definitely live up to your expectations and live a good life."
In a daze, Man Yao felt her heart ache, as if all the sadness hidden in the girl's heart had passed into her body, making her unable to breathe, her body gradually tilted and slipped to the ground, she folded her arms , trembling slightly. Another picture appeared in front of my eyes.
In the middle of the night, the dilapidated palace walls, the peeling walls, the hanging white silk, the gloomy and strange atmosphere... She knew this place, it was the cold palace.
A man who couldn't distinguish between men and women covered in black clothes pointed to a little girl of the same age who was hanging under the plane tree and said, "From now on, you will be her—Princess Rongle of Qiyun Kingdom. Now Lintian Kingdom is everywhere. They are all looking for you, if you want to take revenge alive, you have to listen to me, understand?"
The girl nodded without thinking, and the man in black said with satisfaction, "Go."
A trace of fear flashed in the girl's eyes, but it was quickly suppressed. She walked slowly under the plane tree, stepped on the blue stone tablet, and untied the hanged child. Change clothes by yourself.
The man in black gave her a few things and told her to leave after a few words. She dug a hole under the stone tablet, buried the child, bowed three times, got up and covered her face with a loose hand, and walked into the room with air leaks everywhere.
There was an old piano by the window in that shabby house. She took out the music score, read it only once, and then put it away.
Fluctuating between her fingers, the tune played by unfamiliar skills is full of sadness, resentment, hatred, and anger. She repeated it over and over again, and finally gradually concealed her sharpness and emotions during practice. This is one of the things she has to learn.
Manyao was in a daze amidst the sound of the piano, as if she was experiencing the grief in the girl's heart, she even knew what the girl was thinking.
In a blink of an eye, the girl has grown into a slim young girl, and she has grown into a peerless beauty.
At dusk, the girl put on a set of plain court ladies' attire, crossed the courtyard wall lightly, and went to a secluded pavilion not far from the cold palace. The pavilion was surrounded by tall trees and winding paths. A young man of about her age, with a handsome face and a gentle demeanor, with a refined and noble temperament coming from his bones, the woman couldn't help but be moved by seeing it.
Rong Le walked in, paused slightly behind her, the young man turned around, his eyes suddenly lit up looking at Rong Le, with a warm smile on the corner of his mouth, he called out: "Ronger, you are here." He was the girl at that time The sixth prince of Qiyun Kingdom, Rong Qi.
Rong Le's eyes were clear and her smile was bright, hiding the darkness buried in her heart without revealing any trace. She congratulated like a friend: "Brother Qi, I heard from them that you will soon be emperor, congratulations."
Rong Qi's gentle expression became a little deeper, but his eyes were filled with joy. He nodded and looked at her with burning eyes, "After I ascend the throne, I will make you my concubine."
Rong Le was taken aback for a moment, his eyes darkened suddenly, and he shook his head slightly.
Rong Qiqing frowned slightly, "You don't want to?"
Rongle lowered his head, pursed his lips, and remained silent.
The usual gentle smile on Rong Qi's lips disappeared suddenly, as if he didn't expect her to refuse. He frowned and said, "You really don't want to? Why? You don't like me? Then these days... What are you coming to see me for?" Rong Qi paused for a moment, then turned his eyes, with the same His age was unbelievably deep and unpredictable, he seemed to have thought of something suddenly, he suddenly grabbed her hand, stared into her eyes with sharp eyes, "Could it be that you approached me deliberately to learn royal swordsmanship?"
Rong Le's body shook, and she raised her head abruptly, instinctively wanting to shake off Rong Qi's hand, but held back. There was a thin layer of mist on her clear and beautiful eyes, her red lips trembled slightly, and she wanted to say: "It's not that I don't want to, it's because our identities don't allow it." But in the end she didn't say anything, just spit out a word: "Yes. "
Rong Qi's complexion changed, "I don't believe it!" After speaking, he frowned and thought about it, as if he was looking for the reason for her reluctance.
"I see, Rong'er must be worried that I will have Sangong Sixth Hospital in the future? Don't worry, I will never be like my father. Even if I want to, my body will not allow it." Rong Qi's eyes once again showed anticipation Hope, it seems to be saying, so you should feel relieved, right
Rong Le's eyes were excited, and his heart ached. She looked at Rong Qi, still shook her head, then simply turned around and left quickly.
"Rong'er..." Rong Qi was puzzled, and called out behind her twice, frowning.
Rong Le returned to the cold palace, looking up at the courtyard with peeling walls—her place of shelter. She looked sad and mournful, and remained silent. The fate she could not choose was doomed as early as the great changes in her family. Her future cannot be decided by her. After living in the cold palace for several years, she has already seen through the warmth and coldness of the world and learned how to be cold. But the same lonely boy who brought her warmth always made her unable to refuse, and she couldn't help but want to get closer. Now that the window paper was pierced, she can no longer pretend that nothing happened and pretend to be just friends.
She nestled in this desolate place, and did not go out for several days. Outside the cold palace, the young emperor who had just ascended the throne did not confer the title of queen, nor did he confer any concubine. Instead, he searched the entire palace to find someone named Rong'er. maid of honor.
When the Leng Palace was found, she was led out of the door by the guards. It was the first time she walked out of the door in the sun in ten years.
Rong Qi outside the door is no longer the unfavored prince who hides his edge and even the maids and eunuchs don't pay attention to him. He stepped on the blood and corpses of his relatives and became the king of a country above tens of millions of people.
On the imperial palace, he is dressed in a dragon robe, his eyebrows are like green peaks, his eyes are like stars, his lips are full of vermilion, and his face is like Kou Yu. His face is even more beautiful than before, as if the sun in the sky belongs to him alone. Eyes, noble, not to be despised. And on that mouth, the usual elegant and gentle smile couldn't hide the majestic aura that belonged to the emperor.
When the young emperor saw Rong Le's figure, information suddenly appeared in his eyes. He watched her slowly walking towards her step by step, and the brilliant brilliance leaked out bit by bit from his gentle but bottomless eyes. She stood up and stretched out her hand, but with a flash of her eyes, she prostrated herself, lowered her head, and said with difficulty: "Chenmei Rongle... See you, Brother Huang!"
Every word was like a knife, cutting in her heart.
With a cry of Brother Huang, Rong Qiru was struck by lightning, his body became stiff, and his face immediately turned pale. He seemed to think he heard it wrong, he was dazed and claimed to be the supreme status, in front of her, he was just him.
Rong Le raised his head slowly, suppressed the trembling of his voice, and responded, "Brother Huang."
The man who has always been elegant and calm no matter what he encounters, can be extremely calm. At this moment, his body trembled violently and he fell back on the chair. No words can describe the sadness and despair in his eyes at this moment. The gaze that was determined just now was instantly blank.
What could be more hopeless than this? The person he loved turned out to be his own sister!
"Get off all of you." He retreated from the people around him and fixed his gaze on her eyes, "Why... didn't you tell me earlier?"
Rong Le avoided his gaze and didn't answer. She didn't know how to answer. From the very beginning, when she sneaked out, when she accidentally met him in that remote and uninhabited pavilion, she didn't know his identity yet, let alone dared to reveal her identity easily. Just imagine, a person who was supposed to stay in the cold palace appeared outside the cold palace, and the guards guarding the cold palace didn't know it at all. If word spread, she would definitely die. And when she could speak, she couldn't speak.
Rong Le knelt on the ground, motionless. From the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Rong Qi's pale face who couldn't get an answer. She slowly walked down the imperial hall, and slowly walked away with a slight cough forbearance. Looking at his vain footsteps and lonely back, she silently shed two lines of tears...
Man Yaodai who was lying on the ground frowned, Rong Le's entangled emotions towards Rong Qi in her dream gripped her heart tightly, making her hardly able to breathe. This dream was so long that she seemed to have experienced more than ten years of life herself. She was extremely tired, but she couldn't wake up.
It was another sleepless night under the cold moon. Rong Le, who was taken out of the cold palace, lived in the newly renovated palace - Changle Palace. There were no dead branches and weeds in the courtyard here, and there were no white silk and broken windows in the house. Pavilions and pavilions, picturesque scenery, soft beds and fine silk quilts... She no longer has to sleep in a corner, worrying about being frozen awake in winter nights, There is no need to look at the eyes of the maids and eunuchs, and eat the cold and hard leftovers that the servants don't eat... However, she is still unhappy, and even the fake smile can no longer be as natural and bright as before.
Rong Qi's face became paler and paler, and his gentle eyes became deeper and unpredictable day by day. It was the first time he stepped into Changle Palace to see her. As an older brother, he sat opposite Rong Le, holding the tea she brewed for him with his own hands. The green tea leaves staggered, and one piece sank to the bottom of the cup. Another piece is still floating aimlessly.
Rong Le sat quietly, also looking at the cup in front of her, not speaking.
After a while, Rong Qi raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes were complicated and hard to discern, and he said slowly: "Recently the border situation is unstable, this morning, the ministers suggested that you go to Lintian Kingdom to get married."
Rong Le's hand holding the cup trembled slightly, and she raised her eyes slightly. Facing the sadness and pain in Rong Qi's eyes, she bit her lips, "Okay. I'll go."
She spoke softly, but her tone was firm. Rong Qi opened his eyes, eyes full of astonishment and fainted with anger, the hot tea in his hand spilled out, his pale hands were scalded red but he didn't know it.
She knew in her heart that this was just an excuse for him to come to see her, but she pretended not to know, pretended not to see his reaction, and said: "I have a condition, I want to marry into the royal family. Even if I am not the prince, I have to be the Emperor Lintian The most beloved prince."
The light in Rong Qi's eyes changed again, he fixedly stared at her for a while, the mist rising from the cup blurred the sight of the two of them.
The cup of tea was held in the palm of his hand, and he never drank it. After an unknown amount of time, he turned his head away, closed his eyes, got up, and left with his sleeves shaken.
Early in the morning of the second day, when Rong Le woke up, no servants in the palace could be seen. She was wondering, when she saw a tall man dressed as a court lady striding into the room, and threw her a set of the same palace maid uniform, "Put on. "
When Rong Le heard the voice, she was surprised: "Brother Huang? Why are you dressed like this?"
Rong Qi frowned and urged: "Change your clothes quickly, I will take you out of the palace to play."
Rong Le's eyes brightened, and her heart moved slightly. She had been trapped in this palace for ten years, and she wanted to go out to see the sky for a long time, but to her, that seemed to be just a luxury, unless she got married. After hurriedly changing their clothes, the two of them took a token and left smoothly in the name of leaving the palace to handle errands.
Outside, the sky is vast and the streets are bustling.
Rong Le is like a bird flying out of the cage, the haze of the past few days has been swept away, and his mood is soaring and happy. She turned her head to look at Rong Qi who was dressed in women's clothes and walked unnaturally. How could this look like an emperor? She couldn't help laughing: "Brother Qi is still a beauty!"
Rong Qi Junxiu's face froze slightly, but he was not angry. He turned to look at the woman's bright smiling face and clear and bright eyes. He was in a daze for a moment, as if recalling the happy time when they were together before, and sighed faintly : "In my heart, no matter how beautiful the beauties in the world are, no one can compare to you, Rong'er. What's more, I am a man, so you are not allowed to use the word beauty to describe me in the future."
After hearing this, Rong Le smiled brighter and brighter.
The two found a shop, changed their clothes, rented a carriage, chose a random direction, and came to a small village near the river...
Man Tian knew this place well, it was the place where she lived with Emperor Qiyun for four months. However, at this time and here, the area under the ginkgo tree is still empty, with no house, no courtyard, no hollyhock, and no path paved with stone slabs.
Rongle likes ginkgo trees very much. She walked around those trees with a happy face.
Rong Qi said suddenly: "Rong'er, we...don't go back to the palace, okay? Just build two houses here and live here, no one knows us." There was hope and sadness in his eyes, then It is an expression that is usually hidden behind the deepness that cannot be seen.
Rong Le's eyes moved, and he smiled casually: "Okay." In her opinion, he was just joking. He is the emperor, how could he leave the palace, leave the whole country behind, and live in seclusion here with her
Rong Qimu was pleasantly surprised, grabbed her hand, and asked uncertainly: "Is it really possible? Are you really willing?"
Rong Le froze for a moment, then hurriedly broke free from his hand, and looked back and forth around the trees to cover up her embarrassment and unnaturalness.
Rong Qi stepped forward to hold her again, turned her around, looked her in the eyes very seriously, and said word by word: "When the house is built, we will get married here."
She was shocked, getting married? "Are you talking nonsense? How can we get married? You forgot that we are... brothers and sisters." She lowered her eyes, trying to hide the twinkle in them.
Rong Qi's eyes were no longer the sadness that he had when he learned of her identity. His eyes sank, and the usual gentle and refined expression disappeared, leaving only a huge storm that was brewing rapidly.
He suddenly pushed her against the tree with such force that her back ached. She has a bad brow, why is he suddenly angry? become so abnormal.
Rong Qi's hands clasped her shoulders tightly, his eyes dimmed a little, and he oppressed her.
"You, you..." Rong Le was startled, flustered, stuttering, not knowing what to say.
Rong Qi didn't wait for her to finish, his lips covered her mouth with extremely hot temperature, as if eager to melt her.
She froze, lost her response, and her mind became confused. That strange throb made her heart pound, as if it wasn't hers.
After a burst of violent kisses to vent his anger, he began to become gentle. Slightly away from her lips, teasing the corners of her mouth with the tip of her tongue, she trembled slightly as if being hit by an electric current. She squinted her eyes and looked at the focused and intoxicated expression on the handsome face who was only a few feet away. She suddenly thought that there would be nothing wrong with just forgetting everything and staying with him.
Rong Qi finally let go of her lips, and hugged her into his arms, making her breathless. He whispered in her ear, "I don't care! No matter who you are, I will be with you. No one can stop me. When the house here is built, we will be married."
Maybe it was because his words were too sweet, maybe his voice was too gentle, Rong Le couldn't help but raised his hand to wrap his arms around his waist, and asked in a low voice, "Then... where's your country?"
"Jiangshan has never been mine."
"Not yours? Whose is it?"
Rong Qi let go of her body and held her hand, as if he didn't want to continue the topic, "Rong'er, where do you think our house should be built?"
She didn't ask any more questions, looked around, and said with a smile: "I like these ginkgo trees, so let's build them here. In autumn, when the wind blows, the yard will be covered with golden ginkgo leaves. It must be beautiful!"
Rong Qi Xinyue said: "Okay. Enclose another yard and plant some flowers and plants in the yard. What flowers does Rong'er like? Are peonies good?"
Rong Le's eyes were bright, "I don't like peonies, I think hollyhocks are very good. In summer, they bloom all over the yard, a piece of holy white..."
"Okay, if you say hollyhock is hollyhock." Under the sun, Rong Qi's doting smile, full of longing for happiness, is very charming.
The two imagined a beautiful picture together, at that moment, Rong Le was really shaken. However, within ten days, the arrival of the man in black completely destroyed her will.
In the end, Rong Le left the village alone without leaving a word.
Both she and him have their own responsibilities and missions. Even if he is willing to give up the country for her, she is also willing to give up hatred for him, but others will not let them be free. Besides, they can't let go easily. Ever since she decided to accept the identity of the princess of Qi Yunguo, she had no choice in her life path.
After returning to the palace, Rong Qi returned to the palace three days after Rong Le returned to the palace. She heard that although the emperor still looks as gentle and handsome as before, he has become more and more taciturn and haggard. But he didn't come to question why she abandoned him and left alone.
Not long after, news spread in the palace that Rong Qi decided to listen to the opinions of the ministers, recruit more concubines, and spread branches and leaves for the royal family.
The palace began to become lively.
Rong Le, bored in Changle Palace, never wants to go out again. The gossipy court ladies always get together to talk about the empresses of each kilometer, who is as beautiful as a fairy, who is the most favored, who has advanced to the position, etc., and so on. Rong Le always listened from a distance, with a faint and bitter smile on the corner of her mouth, her eyelashes drooping to cover her eyes, and she didn't say a word.
Everyone has their own choice, she made the choice first, so she has no right to ask about his choice.
There are more and more concubines in the palace, and the marriage marriage that she was waiting for seemed to disappear without any news.
The man in black sent someone to tell her that the emperor hadn't let go of this matter and asked her to wait for a while. That night, she suddenly wanted to see him, so she mustered up the courage to take a look, to see if he was really as thin as others said, and to ask him why he was hesitant to let her marry him
She went, but he was not in the bedroom. It is said that he went to Cixi Palace to meet the Empress Dowager.
Because of a strange coincidence, Rong Le decided to visit Cixi Palace. Fly on the roof, as light as a swallow.
The door of the silent hall where the Buddha statue was enshrined was closed, and there was no one around. He gently lifted a corner of the tile, and saw Rong Qi standing in the center of the hall, looking at the woman standing in front of the Buddha statue. That woman is graceful and luxurious, she must be the Queen Mother.
She couldn't see the queen mother's face clearly, but she could only hear the voice was very serious, "Aijia has worked so hard to find so many beauties for you, are you still not satisfied?"
"The queen mother has a heart. The minister said that even though they look exactly like Rong'er, they are not Rong'er. The only thing the minister wants is Rong'er. Please let the queen mother do it." Rong Qi's expression was extremely firm.
The Queen Mother scolded angrily: "Absurd! She is your sister. As the king of a country, how can you do something that goes against ethics and morals? If it spreads out, it will make the world laugh!"
"Sister? How long will the queen mother want to lie to me? She is not Rongle at all. Rongle was killed by you ten years ago! She is a descendant of my in-laws and has no blood relationship with me."
"You... Who did you listen to?"
"Of course the queen mother said."
"Nonsense, when did the Ai family say this?"
"A month ago, the queen mother and the sect master talked about it in the dark room."
The Queen Mother's voice turned cold, "Are you eavesdropping on Aijia's speech?! You are the majestic king of a country..."
Rong Qi interrupted: "I'm still your son!"
His usual gentle voice suddenly raised its pitch, and when he spoke again, his voice was less clear than usual and more sad, "Mother, in your heart, is everything else really unimportant except hatred?" ?I know you hate your father, but your father is dead! Not only is your father dead, but almost all the royal blood in this royal family have been exterminated... Can you still not relieve your hatred? Is it because of me? It is also his blood, so you want to deprive me of happiness?"
"Qi'er! You are presumptuous! You just talk to the Ai family like this?!" The queen mother sternly reprimanded, "Don't let the Ai family hear such nonsense in the future. As for that girl, you should give up. The Ai family will not agree."
Rong Qi raised his head, straightened his chest, raised his chin slightly, and asked, "What if I must marry?"
The queen mother narrowed her eyes, and said coldly: "Then from now on, you don't need to take medicine anymore. Once you marry her, prepare to make her a widow for the rest of her life!"
No one expected that the empress dowager who practiced mental Buddha all day would be so indifferent. Rong Qi's body trembled, and he looked at his mother in disbelief, with deep sadness pouring out of his ice-gray eyes. He staggered back two steps, his eyebrows furrowed.
The Empress Dowager turned her head away from him, and said again: "No one is allowed to violate the will of the Ai family, otherwise, they will die! Even if you are the son of the Ai family, there is no exception."
Rong Qi suddenly laughed, full of ridicule and sarcasm, he turned around, looked back at the Queen Mother, and said in a slow voice with indescribable sadness: "I, am I really your son? In your eyes, I'm afraid... I'm just like them, just a pawn in your hands. And I'm more pathetic than them. Not because my body needs your medicine to maintain it, but because .....You are my mother, I am not as cruel and heartless as you, nor can I deny my relatives like you... So, I am destined not to escape from your grasp."
The look in the Queen Mother's eyes changed slightly, her eyes drooped, she frowned, and her voice softened unconsciously, "Of course you are the son of the Ai family! As long as you obey, the Ai family will give you a world."
Rong Qi said: "The world? A lonely world, what's the use of it? I only want Rong'er."
"No. She is the daughter of Qin Yong and Xiang Yi, you can't marry her. Back then, if it wasn't for Xiang Yi's betrayal, our Fu family would not have been confiscated and exterminated, and I would not have suffered such inhuman humiliation! You It's my son, and I will never allow you to be with her daughter!" With an irresistible attitude, the Empress Dowager's expression was a little excited, and her voice trembled slightly.
Rong Qi frowned and said, "You have designed to destroy the Qin family, isn't that enough? I heard that General Qin once saved your life, but you didn't even let General Qin go, so you can't look at General Qin For sake, let Ronger go?"
"No! The Ai family once swore... who?!" There was a slight sound on the roof, and Rong Le on the roof trembled when she heard the Qin family's extermination. It turned out that her family was She was murdered by the queen mother, but she hid under the enemy's wing, waiting for the opportunity to find out the truth. How did she know that the truth was always by her side. Rong Qi turned out to be the son of her enemy! Her heart trembled, her feet were unsteady, and there was a sound of tiles breaking. Immediately after the queen mother yelled, someone flew up to the roof, and before she had time to react, a sword was placed around her neck. Only then did she realize that she had practiced martial arts for ten years and thought she had achieved something, but she turned out to be so vulnerable in front of them.
Rong Le was brought into the main hall, and the door was closed. Rong Qi stepped forward and grabbed her hand, frowning and asked in surprise: "Rong'er, what are you doing here?"
Rong Le shook off his hand vigorously, took a few steps back, distanced himself from him, and said with hatred in his eyes: "If I don't come, I will never know that you are the real murderer of my family! Queen Mother? I Should I call you Empress Fu? Or should I call you Empress Dowager?"
The queen mother's eyes suddenly turned sharp, "Since you know all about it, the Ai family can no longer keep you. Hu Zhou.
"Yes." Hu Zhou, the general manager of the Cixi Palace, strode forward, and Rong Le backed away in shock.
When Rong Qi saw the murderous intent in the Queen Mother's eyes, he was horrified, and hurriedly stopped him: "Stop! Don't hurt her! Queen Mother, let Rong'er go. I will obey you in everything from now on! It's fine to be your son, or you Regardless of the pawns in your hands, I have no more complaints."
The queen mother frowned, and then said decisively: "No! She already knows something she shouldn't know, and she can't use it for me. The Ai family must not keep her. Qi'er, get out of the way."
Rong Qi didn't move, he stood in front of Rong Le, knowing that the Queen Mother had made a decision and no one could change it, so he said to Rong Le who was behind him: "Ronger, go quickly."
Rong Le was slightly taken aback, "Brother Qi..."
"Go away! After you leave...don't come back." His firm voice that contained grief made her feel tense, but she turned around and left without hesitation. She thought he was the queen mother's son, and the queen mother would not do anything to him, but she was wrong. Just as she hurried to the door, the Queen Mother moved.
That action was like a ghost.
Rong Qi was vigilantly guarding against Boss Hu who was opposite him, but he never thought that his mother was actually more powerful than Boss Hu, who had unfathomable martial arts.
The queen mother came to him silently from the side, and within a blink of an eye, his neck was tightly held by her, unable to resist. He looked sideways at his mother, in those delicate ice-gray eyes, there was despair and pain like ashes, as if what the hand grabbed was not his neck, but crushed his heart.
The queen mother didn't look at him, but said coldly to Rong Le at the door: "If you dare to step out of this hall, the Ai family will kill him immediately."
Rong Le paused, turned around, she didn't believe it at first, but the look in the Empress Dowager's eyes was so cruel, and her fingers were pinched so tightly. Rong Qi's handsome face was already red and purple, and his face was slightly distorted due to the pain of suffocation. There is no doubt that in such a scene, that hand will cut off Rong Qi's neck in the next second.
Rong Le's pupils shrank involuntarily, and the hand holding on to the door froze completely, unable to move any more. "You! You.....he is your son!"
The Empress Dowager said without changing her expression: "The Ai family knows that he is my son, so there is no need for you to remind him. But for you, he has defied the Ai family many times, and does not take the mother of the Ai family seriously. What is the use of keeping such an unfilial son?" ?” After finishing speaking, his hands tightened a bit.
That hand was as hard as iron tongs, no matter how much Rong Qi struggled, it was still steady, but the more she struggled, the tighter she pinched.
Rong Le said angrily: "How can there be a mother like you in the world?!" She couldn't believe it.
The Empress Dowager said expressionlessly: "You die, or he dies. You decide."
Rong Le lowered her hand slowly, does she have a choice? With the queen mother's ghostly speed, she could actually catch her easily, but the queen mother chose Rong Qi, and with Rong Qi's life, she was forced not to struggle.
She turned and walked back.
The queen mother smiled with satisfaction, and winked at Mr. Hu. Mr. Hu took out a pill and handed it to her, "Swallow it."
Rong Le took it over and glanced at Rong Qi, only to see that his eyes were wide open, with an anxious and angry expression, silently accusing her of why she turned her head. He looked at the pill in her hand, struggling hard but was powerless due to suffocation, his lips were moving, but he couldn't make a sound because his throat was stuck. She knew what he was talking about, and he said, "Don't bother with them. You go, leave me alone. She is my mother, and I don't believe she will really kill me. Go away." Rongle shook her head, she was selfish, but still Not selfish enough to sacrifice his life to keep herself safe. What's more, she couldn't leave at all. Raising her hand, she put the pill into her mouth, and saw the sad tears streaming from the eyes of the man who was always gentle and refined without seeing emotions .
It was as if a steel knife was stirring in her heart, and the pain struck violently, and she fell to the ground.
Only then did the queen mother let go of her hand, Rong Qi rushed towards her, hugged her tightly in his arms, wiped the black blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth, and called her name desperately.
"Rong'er, Rong'er..." Rong Le opened his eyes with difficulty, trying to raise his hand to wipe his tears, but he didn't have any strength at all.
Looking at her gradually lax eyes, Rong Qi suddenly became quiet. He turned back and looked into his mother's eyes. But at this time, there was no hatred, no resentment in his eyes, not even any emotion, not even sadness, only a emptiness remained. He calmly prayed to his mother: "Queen mother, please kill me." The queen mother's complexion changed slightly, and she scolded: "The Ai family thought you had a lot of ambition. It turns out that your ambition is a woman!" Rong Qi Mian was as calm as ashes, neither smiling nor annoyed, he just said slowly: "I would rather... die with Rong'er, than continue to live like this and be a walking dead puppet." The queen mother frowned, and there was a slight fluctuation in her ruthless and ruthless expression. She turned her head, lowered her eyes, thought for a while, and said, "You can save him if you want to."
A gleam of light flashed across Rong Qi's eyes, but he didn't make a sound, waiting for her next words.
The queen mother said again: "She can live, but she must forget everything before."
Rong Qi's hand trembled slightly, forgetting everything meant forgetting him, forgetting all the past related to him. He looked down at her eyelashes that were about to close, and at the longing for survival in her eyes. He lowered his head, and said a word with great difficulty: "Okay." The arrangement of the family. She has to marry to Lintian Kingdom to implement the plan of mourning the family."
Rong Qi's body trembled, the arms around her body tightened and tightened, his eyes fluctuated, after struggling for a long time, Fang tremblingly said: "Okay."
His face was pressed against Rong Le's forehead, and tears of extreme sorrow flowed down her cheeks, slowly sliding to the corners of her lips, salty and slightly bitter.
He raised his chin, took a deep breath, and said in a hoarse voice, "What if those two people don't like her? Do you still want to kill her?"
The queen mother said: "Yes. So, you have to find a way to help her and help her win the affection of the two brothers. However, with her intelligence and beauty, even you are fascinated, and the two brothers can't escape."
Rong Qi slowly closed his eyes, as if a voice came from his chest, and tremblingly said: "Then ask the queen mother to save her."
...
All over the sky was in a daze, as if seventeen years had passed by that girl. She followed the girl in her dream to experience joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys. The memory that she believed did not belong to her was displayed in front of her in such a complete way. , the girl's persistence in finding an enemy for the hatred of destroying the family, the love and reluctance for the young Rong Qi, the heartbreak and sadness after the love is broken, and those day and night struggles... It is as clear and profound as her own. experience. It turned out that the person she had dreamed about being strangled by the neck was not actually her!
When she opened her eyes, she was confused.
These memories are all Rongle's, but why she wakes up, her heart still hurts so much, it hurts so much, she can't control it.
Rong Le obviously didn't die, so how did she possess her body
She suddenly thought, who is she? Who is she? Rong Le? All over the sky? She couldn't tell the difference. My mind was in a mess, and my head started to hurt again. If this memory is true, then everything Rong Qi did was just for Rong Le. how so? Also, why is the Empress Dowager of Qiyun Kingdom Fu Yuan? Who is the Queen Mother of the Northern Dynasty? Fu Yuan has a child, if her son is Rong Qi, then what about Fu Tzu? Fu Yuan called Fu Tzu and Wuyou two brothers, could it be that...the twin brother Wuyou has been looking for is Fu Tzu
Her heart was shocked, her mind suddenly cleared up, and she got up from the ground all at once. So, Fu Yuan's purpose is to let their brothers kill each other? ! No, she wants to go out, she must go out to stop Fu Yuan's plan.
She propped herself up, stood up, and walked to the iron railing. How can she get out? The iron bars are so hard, the iron chains are thick and solid, and the stone door of the dungeon is locked outside, even if she can get out of this iron cage, she can't go outside, what should she do
Just as he was upset and depressed, the ground under his feet suddenly trembled, and there was a slight sound. She was taken aback, and immediately lay down, ready to listen to the movement below. At this moment, the ground in a corner of the dungeon was suddenly lifted, and dust and dust were flying in all directions.
She was startled, and quickly got up and backed away, staring at her with wide eyes, and two people came out from the ground.
"Brother Huang!" Seeing that it was Emperor Qiyun, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly went up to him, her eyes no longer guarded. "Are you here to take me away?"
Emperor Qiyun gently held her cold hand, his eyes were extremely distressed, "Rong'er, I have wronged you."
Shaking her head all over the sky, facing her scorching gaze, she unnaturally turned her head away and retracted her hand. She thought of that long dream, in which his deep affection for Rong Le would never be abandoned, and her heart ached slightly. She is not Rong Le, she can't bear his strong feelings, so she just said lightly: "Then let's go."
Emperor Qiyun's eyes dimmed, he patted his hands lightly twice, and two more people came out from below, they also dragged a woman, and that woman not only had a face very similar to hers, but also had white hair all over her head.
Man Tian suddenly understood that there was a substitute here, and if someone came in, he wouldn't notice. "Brother Huang is more thoughtful. It's just that this woman..."
"She is the one placed by my mother's side, just a substitute. Let's go." Emperor Qiyun took her hand again and led her down the tunnel.
The tunnel was obviously newly dug, the space was extremely narrow, and the height was not enough, Emperor Qiyun had to bend over to pass.
The road is uneven and difficult to walk on. He took her hand again and held it tightly, for fear that she would fall. There was a strange feeling in Man Tian's heart, she was a little afraid that he was so kind to her, which made her feel more guilty for no reason. She couldn't help thinking, he loves Rongle so much, how can he be willing to hurt her? And how can I watch her step by step into the arms of another man and fall in love with him? Not only can it not be stopped, but it has to be fueled. I'm afraid she will never understand the pain and suffering of struggling between love and reason.
"Brother Huang."
Emperor Qiyun paused, then turned to look at her, "Huh? What's wrong with Rong'er?"
"It's okay." She lowered her head, not knowing what to say.
Emperor Qiyun smiled softly, his eyes were gentle and affectionate, "This road is not easy, just keep at it, and we will arrive soon."
Man Tian nodded, "When was this tunnel dug? It must have been dug for a long time?" Although it is very rough, digging this kind of tunnel is by no means so easy.
Emperor Qiyun casually said, "It's been a month since we returned to the palace."
Mantian laughed and said, "Are you clever? You know it will come in handy today."
Emperor Qiyun looked at her smiling face, slightly dazed, how long had it been since she smiled at him? It seemed a long time, a long time, so long that he thought she would never give him a smiling face again. He raised his hand, wanting to touch the long-lost smile on her lips, wanting to hold it in the palm of his hand and take it away with him to warm his lonely road to hell.
His eyes were so sad, as if he was about to say goodbye to his lover, his heart felt as if a thorn had been slashed across his heart, and the slight pain spread away. She frowned, not understanding her own heart, could it be that a long dream made her feel happy? Being touched by his hand, her body was a little stiff, and she tilted her head to avoid it.
Emperor Qiyun paused there with his hands, his eyes were gloomy, and he couldn't find a trace of light in the black passageway behind them that the fire could not see.
He lowered his hands, sighed, and said softly, "Because I understand the queen mother, and I understand you too."
The whole sky was stunned, he should understand Rongle, right? As for her, as a mother, she tried everything possible to find her child, so it was normal to be guessed. She thought so. The two continued to walk forward without speaking. At the end of the tunnel is the secret room in Emperor Qiyun's palace.
As soon as she came out of the tunnel, a strong smell of medicine hit her face, which she was somewhat familiar with. And this place is different from the downright cold, it seems that there is heat rising.
"Princess Sister." Xiao Ke, who was waiting in the secret room, greeted her. Xiao Ke had bathed and changed clothes, arranged her hair, and regained her fair and pretty appearance, but she was much thinner than before. Man Tian took her hand, and the two exchanged a few casual greetings.
Emperor Qiyun asked: "Are you all ready?"
"Ready." Xiao Ke and Xiao Xunzi replied in unison, but their tone was quite different. Xiao Ke was joyful, while Xiao Xunzi frowned, dark and sad, and hesitated to speak.
All over the sky asked strangely: "What are you preparing for?"
Emperor Qiyun said softly: "Detoxify you." He pointed to a wooden screen in front, the space behind the screen was not big, and mist rose in the air, he said: "Go."
Walking over suspiciously, there is a wooden barrel for bathing behind the screen, which is filled with medicinal materials and hot water. Did he let her take a medicinal bath? The so-called unsolvable "destiny" poison, can it be cured in this way
Xiao Ke came over and wanted to help her undress, she asked in a low voice: "Ke'er, can I really get rid of my poison?... How can I get rid of it?" She had an intuition that the detoxification was not that simple this time.
Xiao Ke's eyes flickered slightly, he lowered his gaze, and instead of looking at her, he said: "Take a medicinal bath first, the emperor will use internal force to protect sister's heart veins, and then I will give my sister an injection to let the medicine penetrate into your meridians and blood... ... Oh, sister, don't worry about it so much, take off your clothes and go in. If it is too late, the water will be cold, and the effect will not be good. There are some rare and precious medicinal materials in it, which I have been looking for for several years They can't be found."
Man Tian still wanted to ask something, Xiao Ke said again: "I heard that the emperor and the Northern Emperor are about to enter the palace, we have to hurry up, don't sister want to go out to see the emperor earlier? The emperor, I must miss my sister and go crazy Already!"
"You girl!" Seeing Xiao Ke joking, Mantian's heavy heart was slightly relieved. She tapped Xiao Ke's forehead, thinking that she would see Wuyou soon, all the doubts in her heart were suppressed, and she didn't even think about why Emperor Qiyun didn't preside over the overall situation in the main hall when the imperial city was about to collapse. it's here? I don't know what Fu Luan is planning to do by bringing Wuyou and Fu Tiao here? She suddenly felt that the fact that Wuyou and Fu Zhao were twin brothers was too cruel for Fu Zhao. I can't imagine, if Fu Zhao knew that the hatred that had tortured him for so many years was all fake, how would he bear it? The thirteen piercing pains he suffered for Fu Luan, the belief in revenge that he planted deep in his heart since he was a child, and the many days of struggling in hatred and love, all of these... called him How can it be so embarrassing? !
Sighing, she took off her clothes and soaked herself in the medicinal soup. The fatigue accumulated for many days was completely released after soaking in the medicinal soup, and she was drowsy.
Emperor Qiyun came over, and a hypnotic voice whispered in her ear: "Ronger sleeps when you are tired, and when you wake up, you will have nothing to do."
She closed her eyes involuntarily, and felt Emperor Qiyun's hand sticking to her back, a powerful force was pouring into her body continuously, and she just fell asleep in the medicinal hot mist.
This time, without Rong Le, Rong Qi, or anyone, she slept like never before. She didn't know what was about to happen after she fell asleep, and she didn't know that behind her, there was a person she cared about very much, whose life was gradually disappearing. If she could know, she would rather give up on herself. It's a pity that after three years, she still doesn't have the ability to predict. Therefore, fate, just follow its established track and go all the way.
When I woke up, I was exhausted, and Mantian felt that I was full of strength and extremely comfortable. At this time, the secret room was pitch black, and nothing could be seen. She was still sitting in the barrel, the water warmly wrapped her body.
The surroundings are very quiet, and there is a strong smell of medicine in the air, and the smell of medicine is also mixed with a fishy smell, which makes people feel uneasy for no reason.
Frowning all over the sky, she called out "Ke'er."
Xiao Ke sat on the ground beside the barrel with his head down, resting his head in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking, a little confused, and a little envious and yearning. Hearing the voice all over the sky, he quickly got up and answered, "Sister Princess, are you awake?"
Man Tian asked, "How long have I been asleep?"
"It didn't take long, and it took only a stick of incense."
Fortunately, not long. She raised her eyes, looked around in the darkness, and asked again, "Why did the lights go out?"
