The two of them walked and stopped, and finally stopped in front of a noodle shop.
"Yao'er, please find a place to do it first. I'll be back as soon as I go. Wait for me." The male protagonist saw the secret guard who had been hiding appearing. It seemed that there was something very important that he needed to deal with.
Zheng Xiyao found an empty seat in the corner of the noodle shop and ordered a bowl of Yangchun noodles.
After a few bites, she lost her appetite. Because someone she didn't want to see appeared in front of her.
Wang Sheng.
"Boss, you don't have to worry about me running away. This is an acquaintance of mine. She will pay for my meal." The middle-aged man sat in front of her and pointed at the noodle shop owner next to her.
It turns out that Mr. Wang was caught by the noodle shop owner after eating Bawang Meal and was about to be escorted to the government.
"Boss, I don't know him." Zheng Xiyao coldly refused the unreasonable request.
"Hey, you heartless woman. I saved your life, and you treat your savior like this?"
"It was Liu Siyan who asked you to save me, not you. To be the savior, it was him and not you."
"Hey, you woman, you really don't know which pot goes with which lid. That emperor who used forbidden arts at the risk of his life..." Wang Sheng remembered something and didn't continue.
But this piece of information piqued Zheng Xiyao's interest.
"what do you mean?"
"Nothing. Since you won't help, I'll leave first." Wang Sheng rolled up his sleeves and prepared to leave.
The noodle shop owner pressed Wang Sheng's shoulders: "Pay the money first and then leave."
"Boss, I really forgot to take my money with me when I went out. I need to record it first."
"Our store does not accept credit."
"How much does he owe? Charge it to my account." Zheng Xiyao interrupted the entanglement between the two.
The noodle shop owner was sent away. Zheng Xiyao sat up straight, put her hands on her chest and looked at the middle-aged man.
Wang Sheng is a person who looks slovenly and informal from a distance. It looks shabby up close and makes it hard to get in at a glance.
This was completely different from the way he looked like an outsider when she first saw him in the palace.
The way the woman frowned and looked at him made him feel unhappy: "Why, my eyes are not feeling well, why don't I give you a good look?"
"Why did you become like this?" Zheng Xiyao was puzzled.
Wang Sheng understood immediately, and then said disdainfully: "External things are the most worthless. I can be like this or that, it mainly depends on whether I want it or not."
Zheng Xiyao was very puzzled by Wang Sheng's wild and uninhibited appearance.
How could a character like him agree to the emperor's request and let her enter the palace?
It's totally about clothes and character.
"Do you have any clues in Liu Siyan's hands?" Zheng Xiyao was confused.
"No." Wang Sheng asked for another bottle of wine and a plate of beef, and answered casually while eating.
"Then why did you enter the palace to save me?"
"Of course your life is closely related to the fate of this world. Even if I don't want to save you, I must save you."
Wang Sheng's answer shocked Zheng Xiyao. Does he know her origin?
"If it weren't for this, why would I have come all the way to treat your little baby?"
"What do you mean?"
"You don't know yet? Your life and death affects Huang Di's entire mind. Once something happens to you, something will happen to Huang Di, and then the world will be in chaos and the people will be in dire straits."
Zheng Xiyao was stunned. It turned out that he didn't know who she was.
"When you grow up, you don't have to pin the blame on me for causing harm to the country and the people." Zheng Xiyao tapped the table with her index finger twice and said indifferently.
"Then what is your invisible mysterious friend plotting?" Wang Sheng slurped wine and meat, stuttering incoherently and carelessly.
She stiffened when she heard this. She didn't expect that this person had really seen the 'system'.
"Don't worry, I didn't tell your secret."
"Who are you?" Zheng Xiyao asked.
"I, I am Wang Sheng, just an unknown Taoist priest."
Zheng Xiyao didn't believe it. In her opinion, Wang Sheng's appearance had broken her cognition.
She hadn't finished digesting the shocking news.
Wang Sheng glanced at her and murmured: "Have you always wanted to leave here?"
"What can you do?" You want your eyes to light up, and your body leans forward unconsciously.
"It used to be okay, you could go to the Gate of the World and have a look. But now I'm afraid..." Wang Sheng remained silent for the rest of the words.
"What's the Gate of the World? What's going on now?" Zheng Xiyao wanted to know the answer eagerly, her body kept leaning forward, and the stool was tilted back.
No matter how she asked, Wang Sheng refused to continue. Just kept eating.
Zheng Xiyao slowly sat up straight, held the edge of the table with both hands, and took a deep breath.
"Fang Ziyuan is your junior brother, right?"
After a long time, Wang Sheng put down the food in his hand.
There was a coldness radiating from his body.
"You two are indeed a couple."
Zheng Xiyao ignored it and just looked at Wang Sheng quietly.
The man finally sighed: "Why are you doing this? Cause and effect is a cycle. In the end, you have to start over."
"Please ask the Taoist priest to clarify my doubts."
"My sect once spread a forbidden curse: the curse of life and death. Once it is generated, the two people will live and die together, and their blessings and misfortunes will depend on each other."
"You mean he put this 'life and death curse' on me?"
"There is no cure for your situation at that time. The 'Life and Death Curse' is the only way. But it is not easy to do. It requires one party to first use his seven souls and six souls and half of his lifespan. Once this curse is generated, you will share your life with others. This method was originally thought up by Pindao to reject the emperor. Unexpectedly, the emperor agreed. He is really... affectionate towards you. "
Hearing this, Zheng Xiyao's heart trembled. She didn't expect that the male protagonist would go so far just for her.
"Then why can't I leave here?" Zheng Xiyao asked tremblingly.
"Since we live and die together, he can't leave, and you can't leave either." Wang Sheng said.
It turns out that he both saved her life and trapped her.
She sat alone in a daze, unable to accept it for a while.
Wang Sheng looked at the woman's bewildered look and raised his lips slightly: "You'd better accept the reality and live a good life with the emperor. It will do no harm to you or him."
"But in another world, the person who loves me deeply and the person I love deeply is waiting for me." She murmured to herself.
Wang Sheng staggered away, leaving behind these embarrassing words:
"Be nice to him. He has nothing left. He has no father, no mother, no relatives and no friends. Oh, by the way, I remember that his sister just died some time ago. What was her name?"
"Ah, by the way, my name is Princess Jingkang!"
