After a night of snow, Her Royal Highness did not drink alcohol for the first time today. After breakfast, she wore a fox fur and admired the snowy scenery of thousands of pear trees in bloom, and came to Qintian Prison alone.
Many spectators were surprised when they saw Her Royal Highness the Princess coming, and they quickly bowed respectfully. Guiqing turned a blind eye to them all, walked forward slowly, stopped in front of the cauldron of national destiny, and looked at the little child who did not doze off for the first time.
"Your Highness the Princess is so happy today."
The little child yawned and stood up lazily.
"Your Highness the Princess wants to ask you anything, but it doesn't matter. As long as it doesn't involve too much, you can get the answer."
Guiqing's tone was cold, "She obviously can't let go, why doesn't she want to stay?"
The little boy smiled and said: "It's rare for a princess to have someone she cares about. Oh, by the way, logically speaking, Chen Luyao should have been out of her mind a long time ago. On the surface, the answer given by the Taoist priest was the use of Taoist secrets. In fact, it was Secretly extend her life, right? Using a talisman to let her live is against the will of heaven. Not only will it have a huge backlash on you, but you will probably have to bear more rules of heaven than that Taoist priest. In this matter, The Queen must not know yet."
Gui Qing narrowed her eyes and clenched her fist slightly, "What do you want to say?"
The little boy smiled and shook his head, "No, no, please don't get me wrong, Princess. I'm not the kind of person who snitches. But I'm curious about what is so special about Chen Luyao that deserves your attention, Princess." First, he used the Twelve Spring God Cups, and then he paid a huge price to keep her alive."
Gui Qing sneered: "It has nothing to do with you?"
The little child laughed it off, turned around and looked back at the cauldron, and said, "Has Her Royal Highness ever thought about what if Chen Luyao actually wants to stay? And I guess Her Royal Highness has already guessed this and came to me just to beg for help. It just needs to be confirmed.”
Gui Qing took a deep breath, her fists trembling slightly.
The little boy said softly: "Your Highness the Princess guessed right. Chen Luyao really wanted to stay, but someone forced her to die. Wu Peixian initially trained her as a killer, with the original intention of using her to assassinate the prince, even if the plan did not work. Success, with Wu Peixian’s character and means, she will never let her go easily.”
"Since it cannot be used as a living son, then it is better to treat it as a dead one. The death of Chen Luyao will greatly damage the prince's mood, and it will also be a good result for Wu Peixian. On the contrary, if Chen Luyao does not die, this situation will All the hard work has completely lost its meaning, so Chen Luyao has only one way to die. As for the method, it is very simple. If Chen Luyao doesn't die obediently, her parents will have no choice but to die for her. The reason why she doesn't tell you She wanted to reveal the truth, because she knew Wu Peixian's character and skills, and with so many years of infiltration, even if the Empress wanted to protect her, who could guarantee that there would be no accidents. Chen Luyao didn't dare to bet, and no one else would dare to bet. So we can only die in exchange for death.”
After getting the answer, Guiqing walked out of Qintian Prison in silence and came to a small pavilion with a beautiful view. She sat down slowly and covered her chest with one hand, her vision blurred.
Early in the morning, a carriage slowly drove out of the palace and out of the capital. After walking for half a day and bumping along the way, they arrived at a small village in the capital.
The driver was a young Taoist priest who had been hit by a sword in Greenbelt City. The carriage stopped in front of a house, and the curtain opened a corner. The Queen got out of the carriage and held up an oil-paper umbrella. When the woman also got out of the car, she handed the oil-paper umbrella to her hand.
"Is this here?" Qin Fang Rourou asked.
The woman hummed, her eyes slightly red.
Qin Fang looked at the young Taoist priest and asked, "With this oil-paper umbrella, are you sure everything is fine?"
The Taoist priest replied respectfully: "Don't worry, Madam. As long as there is no sunlight, ordinary oil-paper umbrellas are also necessary. Besides, this is a Taoist magic weapon and there will be no flaws."
Qin Fang hummed and said softly: "Let's go."
Two palace ladies came to the village. Immediately, the good-faith mother-in-law spread the word, and it was spread from one to ten, and then to hundreds of people. In a short time, the whole village knew the news. So every household would quietly stick out their heads and look at the pair of brightly dressed women with curious eyes.
We were getting closer and closer to a courtyard. Qin Fang saw that the woman's hand holding the umbrella was trembling, so she gently wiped away her tears and said softly: "Stop crying, it won't look good if you cry again. Give your parents a good farewell."
Opening the firewood door lightly, several dogs barked from the yard, and a distant voice came out, "Who is it?"
The woman holding the umbrella held back her tears and shouted: "Mom and Dad, my daughter is back, please open the door."
There was a rush of footsteps and heavy breathing, and the firewood door was opened, revealing an elderly couple with gray hair.
"Yao'er!"
The old woman let out a soft cry, her face full of disbelief, and she burst into tears the next second.
She wanted to hug her daughter, but she was dodged. She cried and cursed: "You damn girl, why are you thinking about coming back after seven or eight years? How could your father and I give birth to such an unfilial daughter like you?" ? Your father and I have both forgotten about you, so why are you coming back? Are you being bullied? Or do you still have no money to spend? Do you know you are coming back to see your parents? You..."
The woman's voice was soft, she interrupted her, and said coquettishly: "Mom, don't blame your daughter."
"Stop scolding me. It took a lot of effort to get me back, but then I was scolded and ran away by you, a damn bitch..."
The old man wiped away his tears and squeezed his eyes hard, not wanting to behave like the woman crying.
The woman's eyes suddenly turned red, her voice trembled slightly, and she murmured over and over again: "My daughter won't run away, my daughter won't run away, my daughter really wants to be with her parents."
Qin Fang felt so sad that she couldn't bear to watch anymore and turned around to leave.
The young Taoist priest was resting, with his legs crossed and a piece of dry grass in his mouth. He saw the Queen from a distance and came back. He quickly sat upright, feeling shocked and uncertain.
When Qin Fang approached, the young Taoist priest said in a deep voice: "My Lady, it is too unsafe. There is not much left in the spiritual energy. As long as she is touched or exposed to the sun, her soul will be shattered."
Qin Fang was silent. She got into the carriage tiredly, rubbed her red eyes, took a long trembling breath, and was lost in thought.
She had actually found out about Guiqing's assassination long ago.
Wu Peixian worked hard to plant an assassin next to the prince, hiding and dormant for seven or eight years. He originally planned to target the prince, but he was betrayed unexpectedly. The assassin repeatedly violated orders. Instead of attacking the prince, he quietly protected him and blocked many assassinations.
Why?
Because of the love between men and women, because her heart moved.
But as an assassin, you have no control over your destiny. Wu Peixian knew that she would never do anything to the prince, so he settled for the next best thing and threatened her parents' lives, asking her to stab the princess in the chest. It didn't matter whether she died or not, there would be consequences anyway.
She knew that the man would hate her, but she had no choice but to do as Wu Peixian said. So that day, she assassinated the princess, and by sheer luck, she succeeded.
Qin Fang tore her apart in anger, but asked the young Taoist priest who was a carriage driver to keep her soul in a piece of talisman paper. She was not really dead yet, and finally confessed her feelings to Qin Fang. It turned out that after she was scolded by her mother and ran away when she was twelve or thirteen years old, she was poor and hungry. When she first entered the capital pass, she was coaxed by Wu Peixian and adopted as his adopted daughter. He practiced his killing techniques and skills day and night, and finally became a secret assassin beside the prince.
The young Taoist priest enshrined in the palace had mysterious and unfathomable Taoism. Even if he tried his best to draw a red talisman to arrest her soul, he would no longer be able to retain her soul when his manpower was finally exhausted. After today, her soul will be shattered and she will completely disappear from this world.
Today is Chen Luyao's last day.
After walking around the garden where she first met him and swinging on the swing he once pushed, she said she wanted to go home and meet her parents, and then she would have no regrets.
At dusk, smoke curls up from the kitchen.
The sky was burning red, and the village echoed with the shouts of shepherds driving their calves back. A few tired birds returned to the forest and flew by.
With a creak, the courtyard firewood door was pushed open.
A woman holding an umbrella walked out, soft and timid, her eyes were red from crying, and her cheeks were stained with old and new tears.
She didn't dare to look back, for fear of seeing the elderly figure and reluctant eyes.
But the road she walked was wetted with tears.
Chen Luyao walked to the carriage and looked with the Queen's gaze. The flaming clouds seemed to be burning through half of the sky. It was so beautiful. It was a pity that such a beautiful scenery would never be seen again.
The young Taoist priest held the red talisman with both fingers and breathed out a breath of Taoist Qi. However, he still could not stop the Qi from dissipating. He sighed helplessly and said softly: "Empress, the time has come."
Qin Fang took a deep breath, turned around and looked at Chen Luyao, her eyes were red, and she asked softly: "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Chen Luyao's face was filled with tears, but she smiled sweetly and said, "My Majesty, please don't tell His Highness the Crown Prince."
Qin Fang shook her head and said softly: "He will always know."
Chen Luyao blinked her eyes, tilted her head slightly, and smiled even happier.
She took two steps back, gave Qin Fang a graceful blessing, and said softly: "Queen, take care of yourself."
A breeze blew by, blowing away the last trace of spiritual energy in the talisman.
The woman's figure gradually swayed and began to disappear in the wind.
That year, Yangliu Yiyi, a graceful and graceful girl with haircuts and full of ignorant thoughts, came to the deep palace alone.
By some mistake, she accidentally entered Qionglin Garden and bumped into His Royal Highness, who was drinking wine and admiring flowers.
"You are young and thin, your clothes are thin, your golden crown is like jade, who in the world is not attracted to you?"
One glance can lead to a lifetime, but it turns out that the love is deep and the relationship is shallow.
She looked far away, and finally hummed a song softly,
"Don't come here in the middle of spring. It touches my eyes and makes my heart break. The fallen plum blossoms are like snow, and they are still full after being brushed all over. There is no evidence of the arrival of wild geese, and it is difficult to dream of returning home after a long journey. The separation of hatred is like spring grass, and you can walk farther and still be alive."
In Fanke Mountain, after walking out of the river of time, a young man with white hair sat quietly under the tree, tears streaming down his face, and grief silent.
