"Madam, the king has chosen you as the Heavenly Concubine of Yinming. We will respectfully send the Heavenly Concubine on her way. You should be your share in protecting the dragon veins of our ancestors for future generations. Go with peace of mind. The slaves will groom you carefully and will never call you. Unkempt and disheveled.”
When Song Siyuan walked to Mrs. Qionghua, she could clearly hear what the leading female officer said. She had indeed never heard of the name Yinming Tianfei, but her guess was a little closer to the truth. It was indeed the same as the Mohe clan. Related to dragon veins.
Compared with other concubines, Mrs. Qionghua's treatment was considered the best. At least she was treated with courtesy before her death. However, no matter what, it could not change Da Yin Zun's crime of forcing people to be buried.
After hearing this, Mrs. Qionghua did not struggle like other concubines. She was about to take the poison on the wooden plate when Song Siyuan shouted quickly with quick eyes and hands: "Wait~"
The moment her voice broke out, all the eunuchs and maids in the illusion were completely frozen, like dead objects maintaining their movements for a moment. In this endless still time, only Mrs. Qionghua could move, independent of the long river of freeze-frame. outside.
She could obviously notice Song Siyuan and Yue Guanchao. When she saw them, a trace of emotion finally appeared in her lifeless pupils. The look in her eyes showed the loneliness of thousands of years, and the absolute sadness of being forced to die. Only when the two of them took a look did they feel Cold air ran down my back.
"Did you pull us into the illusion?"
Song Siyuan knew that the matter was urgent, and she had to find out what was going on as soon as possible. She asked the question decisively and ably.
"No~"
Mrs. Qionghua shook her head and denied this statement, which made Yue and Song curious.
Mrs. Qionghua nodded towards the two of them and said in a neither happy nor sad tone: "It was the clam that made you sink into the illusion it created. I just used the illusion to do what I wanted to do."
"What's up?"
Although Song Siyuan had already guessed in her heart, she still wanted to hear what Mrs. Qionghua meant. The eyes of this person from a thousand years ago became sad, with a hint of resentment: "The truth, the truth about my sacrifice, what you see is what I saw." Experience."
"The king has no feelings for me at all. He treats me well only because I am the daughter of yin destiny selected by Chao Fengtian official. I can reconcile yin and yang and connect the dragon's veins."
I... the Chao family, they hide too many secrets!
Yue Guanchao had already suspected this, but the Chao housekeeper had already burped, so he had no way to verify it. Now that Mrs. Qionghua said it was confirmed that the Chao family was involved, he had to be frightened.
"Daughter of Yin Fate, why did Chaofeng Tianguan choose you?"
Song Siyuan wanted to break the casserole and ask the truth.
Mrs. Qionghua recalled the past and said:
"When Yin Zun was still the crown prince, the court used a letter to deduce that I was the daughter of Yin Ming. He secretly sent his generals to visit the Tang Dynasty, and then he brought me back to the crown prince's palace from the Western Regions. I was nominally a concubine, but never Come close to me, I am more like a living god than a concubine.”
"Later I found out that I was just the most expensive victim he used to bury him. I tried to escape before, but I couldn't walk far because of language barriers, so I had to be put under house arrest by him and became a useless canary."
"My fate has been determined since I entered the Bohai Palace!"
Speaking of these words, Mrs. Qionghua's eyes were obviously filled with tears, and her tone became choked:
"I thought the worst outcome would be to drink poisonous wine and be poisoned to death and sleep in his underground palace forever, but I never thought that there would be something more terrifying than death~"
"He made you a pig."
Song Siyuan heard that Mrs. Qionghua could be connected to the clam, and could already guess her role. As soon as she said this, Qionghua sighed and nodded in acquiescence: "Yes, he didn't know what kind of magic he used to make me. Pig man, my soul has merged with the pig clam and become a part of it."
"For a thousand years, I have been forced to guard this evil-hearted thing and strangle all the living creatures that enter the tomb. I have lived such a painful life. I hope you can help me get rid of it."
"Help you free yourself? Do you mean to kill you?"
Song Siyuan did not expect that the illusion they had experienced was played out over and over again, and it had trapped Mrs. Qionghua for thousands of years. This state of neither life nor death was not a thousand-year prison.
"But, how can we help you? We can't get out ourselves?"
Song Siyuan looked at Mrs. Qionghua. The woman did not answer. She took the poisoned wine and drank it down. Then her lips turned purple and she died.
After Mrs. Qionghua was poisoned, some noisy sounds kept pouring into her ears like the words of wandering souls - hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo... Where the wind comes, that's your way out~ Where the wind comes, that's your way out...
She was confused and didn't know what it meant. She could only look at Qiong Hua's eyes carefully. Seeing the woman staring at the tortoise shell lamp, she still had guesses in her mind.
When blood rain and tears finally fell from the lotus plate again, her eyes immediately flashed with light, and she looked at Yue Guanchao with an excited look: "I know, the key to breaking through the illusion lies in the tortoiseshell glazed lamp we saw."
