The green lights in the palace are dim, and the black marble floor looks a little cold. This is the palace of the old King Yan.
King Lao Yan leaned back on the bed, his eyes looking a little blurry. He was not sleepy, but he was very tired, so he lay down, so he did not sleep.
The door was pushed open, and a girl in silk clothes came in. It was Princess Yan Qing, but even the attendants accompanying the old King Yan knew very well that this Princess of Yan was no longer the original Princess of Yan. .
Old Yan King squinted his eyes slightly, and when he heard the movement, he raised his hand, knowing his left and right, and stepped back skillfully.
Yan Qing came to the bed, and the old King Yan said:
"all gone?"
Yan Qing nodded slightly,
"Well, I just left not long ago."
The old King Yan did not open his eyes and continued to say slowly:
"Have you explained everything?"
"Well, Sisi will complete her mission well."
Yan Qing answered mechanically, but there was some obscure meaning in his eyes from time to time.
Old King Yan nodded again and taught earnestly:
"You have a bad habit of speaking. Please keep it as brief as possible to avoid letting people see your flaws in the future."
Yan Qing looked at the indifferent old King Yan. She was a little angry and had many questions.
Everyone thought that the one who left was the real princess and the shadow of the princess was left behind, but she knew very well that she who was still in the palace was the real Princess of Yan!
The woman standing next to the bed now is the real Yan Qing!
As for Li Sisi, she had already set off for Qin State not long ago under her identity and that young man named Yi Shuihan. She also issued additional orders to Sisi, and Sisi's trip to Qin State was not just for this purpose. Just traveling, and all of this is the instruction of the bottomless old King Yan in front of me.
Yan Qing still hasn't fully figured out what she has been through, and she is even a little confused about some things.
From the beginning, from the moment Yunlong entered the Yan Palace, Yan Qing seemed to have completely exchanged identities with her own shadow. It was she who met Shui Han in Guanju Tower, and it was she who danced as the oiran in Guanju Tower. She was the one who was captured and held hostage in Gongshuzi's mechanism box by the Third Prince's shadow. Compared to Li Sisi's experiences, she had always been relatively safe.
Li Sisi, as her shadow, endured everything she should have endured for her. Yunlong's transformation of Li Sisi not only turned Sisi into a Shura soldier, but also made her and Yan Qing The two pairs of light and shadow completely completed the transformation.
Yunlong didn't know what method he used to transfer the curse of heavenly fire set by Chongli, the god of fire, one of the eight ancient god-kings, into Li Sisi's body.
It is an incredible thing that humans can influence God's curse, but Yunlong really did it.
But what Yunlong didn't know was that after the Heavenly Fires were transferred, the Yaoming Order that originally existed in Yan Qing's body to suppress the Heavenly Fires seemed to be attracted and transferred to Li Sisi's body.
Yunlong Xunyao couldn't get the order, but he was so smart. He had already guessed the truth from the phenomenon that Li Sisi was not under his control. But the shadow before had now become a real princess in the eyes of everyone. It was obviously unwise to attack head-on, so he He would pretend to be a comatose "Li Sisi" to sneak attack and steal the Yaoming Order, and then there would be a big battle in the palace square of Yan Palace.
So everything that has happened so far is wrong, and everyone has been deceived. The Yan Qing that everyone sees is actually Li Sisi, and the Li Sisi that everyone sees is actually Yan Qing.
Li Sisi is really a good shadow, and can even be said to be the best shadow in history. Not only does she look exactly the same as Yan Qing, she is absolutely loyal to Yan Qing, but she also completely takes on the role, from emotions to inner , completely replaced, starting from the exchange of heavenly fire, she is the princess of Yan Kingdom, the real princess of Yan Kingdom.
This is why when Shui Han asked her about her identity at the princess palace, she did not answer directly. She just said that as long as I am in the Yan Palace, I am Yan Qing, the princess of Yan Kingdom.
Li Sisi didn't lie, but she successfully deceived everyone.
Right now, the real Yan Qing is standing beside the old Yan King's bedside. She was reviewing the whole thing on the way here.
The more she reviewed, the more scared she became, because the result of her review was that the whole thing seemed to be planned by Yunlong, but her father, the old Yan Wangxi who was currently lying on the bed, had a complete role in it. No less than Yunlong,
Now the fire from the heavens that he has carried for many years has been transferred to Li Sisi. Yunlong, the hidden danger, has also died. As another hidden danger, Li Sisi followed Shui Han to the Qin State, and there is a high probability that he will not come back in the future. After this disaster, the power agencies of the government and the surrounding counties were reshuffled according to the wishes of King Lao Yan. The originally turbulent Chao Gang became impregnable overnight.
Now think about it, have the candidates who were demoted and promoted overnight been decided long ago? Otherwise, how could there be such Thunder efficiency.
Overnight, the Yan King family finally got rid of the fire curse that had burdened them for many years, and at the same time eliminated the hidden dangers that had been hanging in their hearts. Within the palace, from the nobles to the ministers, they paid more attention to military training. They were shaken by the unjust acts of the Lord. After many years of reshuffling the central power after the disaster, central power has become highly centralized again.
From a consequentialist perspective, the biggest beneficiary of this killing of two birds with one stone is Yan Qing's father, whom he has never seen through. However, can one person's calculations really reach this level?
Can we really grasp all the possibilities of how things will develop and guarantee that there will be no surprises?
Or is he simply gambling?
How terrifying it is to gamble with the survival of a country and the fate of countless people.
Yan Qing's brain went blank after the thought storm, and even her body could not help but tremble slightly.
There were so many things she wanted to ask, and she didn't know where to start, but she finally asked. She came here just to get the answer.
"Father, there is something I don't understand. How did Yunlong transfer the fire poison in my body to Sisi's body?"
Yan Qing tried hard to restrain herself and prevent her emotions from exploding.
King Yan's expression was calm and his voice was weak but dignified.
"Why do you think I wanted to recruit Yunlong into the palace?
Although the effect of iron armor is very attractive, why can't I see Yunlong's ambition?
What really makes me unable to refuse is that he can actually have an impact on God's curse. He promised that I can completely cure the fire poison in your body, so I had to cooperate with him, and the fact is, he did it. "
"Controlling divine power, how could my father believe such nonsense... He just changed the carrier! Sisi... she shouldn't have to bear this for me."
Yan Qing's body couldn't stop trembling, and her voice also trembled.
The old King Yan seemed to be very dissatisfied with his daughter's current demeanor. He said angrily:
“But that’s the truth!
You have indeed been freed from the poison of fire, which means that our entire royal family is completely free from God's curse!
I knew I was right in my bet. I knew it when Yunlong secretly showed me his magical ability! "
"So, my father had planned to do this all along, right? Sisi, Eunuch Sixi, even the more than 6,000 lives in the surrounding counties were the victims of your plan?"
Yan Qing pinched her thumbs to keep herself calm, but she gritted her teeth every word.
"You think too highly of me. I couldn't have expected so much. I don't want these things to happen, but people who make big things happen don't stick to trivial matters. In order to prevent Yunlong from discovering any flaws, and in order to completely eliminate him after using him, On the premise of saving you and our family, these are necessary sacrifices to protect the entire Yan Kingdom!"
"Is it the same as when you sacrificed Uncle Xiao? Who are you going to sacrifice next, Sisi? Or Shuihan? If you let him inherit the Yejie, aren't you just pushing him into a pit of fire? You are doing it for us, who are being sacrificed How many more people are going to die from the cursed family? You..."
"presumptuous!!"
With a snap, Yan Qing's cheeks instantly turned red, and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth. In the end, she was unable to control her emotions.
After becoming furious, Old Yan King's eyes suddenly became very dim, a kind of dimness full of disappointment.
"Please step back. My father wants to rest. Before your eldest brother comes back, all palace affairs will be left to you. If there is nothing important, there is no need to run here anymore."
After finishing speaking, Old Yan Wang closed his eyes and never wanted to open them again.
