All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 164 Then you...are you willing to marry me?willing.

Shen Lingxi choked.

You can't tell Chu Yan that she is the "deity" of the little princess of Yunguo.

Involving such intimate matters as the other party's emotions, coupled with her true identity, made her instinctively guilty.

"I... just... um..."

Shen Lingxi faltered and hesitated, but couldn't find a suitable excuse for a while.

It was the first time Chu Yan saw her dodging eyes, almost embarrassed.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

Could it be... shyness?

Thinking that she didn't care about her little distance just now, Chu Yan's eyes shone with starlight.

"I only met her once, when she died."

He explained: "I just think that she shouldn't die like that, and she shouldn't be remembered in that way after death. So, I want to do something for her, that's all."

This is the first time since Shen Lingxi's rebirth, she heard a person who met by chance talk about her death in this way.

Moreover, he was still the young general who shone in his memory back then.

At this moment, Shen Lingxi suddenly felt that her eye sockets were burning hot, and the tip of her nose was also a little sore.

Chu Yan's gaze was fixed on her face all the time, seeing the water in her eyes, he thought she minded that he had married someone else's spiritual position.

Then he explained: "I have nothing to do with her, just because the emperor's grandfather was going to execute Yun Liangdi at that time, so I lied about being pleasing to her and married her as the spirit seat, just to save Yun Liangdi's life."

When Shen Lingxi heard him mention little aunt, she hurriedly turned her head away, blinking away the tears from her eyes.

That's right, if you marry her spiritual seat, you will be her husband.

Naturally, I can plead for my little aunt.

Unexpectedly, the truth of the matter turned out to be like this.

"If the little princess is alive in the sky, knowing that His Highness saved her relatives, she will be very grateful to His Highness." Shen Lingxi whispered.

Chu Yan asked hesitantly, "You...don't mind?"

"I don't mind." Shen Lingxi shook her head and said sincerely: "Your Highness is a good person."

She was still immersed in her own thoughts, and she didn't realize that what Chu Yan asked was "Shen Lingxi", not the "little princess" in the past.

Subconsciously, as a little princess, she forgave him for marrying her spiritual seat without authorization, so she said "I don't mind".

But this "I don't mind" sounded in Chu Yan's ears, but it confirmed the speculation in his heart.

She just really minded that he married someone else's tablet.

Only care, will mind.

She... cares about him.

This recognition made the corners of Chu Yan's lips curl up even deeper.

His Adam's apple rolled, and he asked softly, "Then you...would you like to be with me..."

The word "pro" hasn't had time to say it——
Hearing Shen Lingxi's soft voice, he replied without thinking: "Yes."

Chu Yan was startled, but immediately, his heart was filled with unprecedented joy.

He took a step forward and hugged the person in front of him into his arms.

Caught off guard, Shen Lingxi was hugged into a warm and firm embrace.

The clean and clear scent of grass and trees on his body surrounded her, making her blush instantly.

It wasn't until this moment that Shen Lingxi realized that something was wrong.

"Your Highness just said 'into' what?"

"Get married." Chu Yan said with a smile, his chest trembling slightly.

marriage? ? ? ! ! !
Shen Lingxi's eyes widened in astonishment. She had been thinking about repaying his kindness just now, so when she heard "Would you like it?", she responded without thinking.

I didn't realize it at all, it was "cheng, pro"!
She hurriedly explained: "No, Dian..."

"I'm going to talk to the emperor now, let him give us a marriage." Chu Yan pressed her chin lightly against the top of her soft hair, and said in a hoarse voice.

Shen Lingxi didn't expect that things would turn like this suddenly.

"Your Highness..." She reached out her hand to his chest, trying to keep the distance between the two of them open: "You misunderstood, I didn't mean that, I just..."

"This won't work." Chu Yan was still immersed in joy, "You just told the emperor that you want to do something, if I go to him to give you a marriage right now, he will definitely doubt you, so I'd better wait a few days and let the emperor's grandmother go." Mention it to him."

"Well... just let the emperor's grandmother give us two marriages, yes, that's the way to go."

Shen Lingxi tightened her scalp nervously.

If there was a hole under her feet now, she would definitely go in without hesitation.

This is where and where.

Outrageous!

Who will save her!
Shen Lingxi took a deep breath and raised the volume: "Your Highness!"

"Huh?" Chu Yan finally recovered.

Shen Lingxi dodged and withdrew from his arms.

His cheeks were already flushed red: "Your Highness, you misunderstood, I really didn't mean that just now, I just..."

She choked, and found that she couldn't explain why she said "don't mind" and "willing" just now.

"Just what?" Chu Yan's dark eyes were full of starlight.

Just didn't catch it.She dare not say.

"I, I don't want to get married..."

She hastily saluted: "It's getting late, it will be too late if you don't go to Shoukang Palace, I'll go first."

After saying this, Shen Lingxi turned around quickly, as if afraid of being overtaken, she walked towards Shoukang Palace very quickly.

Chu Yan looked at the back of her fleeing, her eyes, which were always cold and reserved, and her penetrating eyes showed confusion for the first time.

Is she... shy?Still, angry?
*
After being hugged by Chu Yan for a while, Shen Lingxi felt her head swell, and went to Shoukang Palace in a daze, and greeted the Queen Mother.

It was inevitable that she would be alone with Chu Yan again, so she simply did not go out of the palace, and went directly to the east side hall where she lived, and rested.

That night, Shen Lingxi had a dream.

In the dream, she returned to her previous life, no longer Shen Lingxi, but turned back into Yunxi, the little princess of Yunguo.

On the day of his 15th birthday, Yun Kingdom was broken.

Threatening the lives of more than a hundred people in the Yao Palace, the father ordered her to wear red clothes and tie her to the tower with his own hands.

For the first time, the father, who had been addicted to wine and sex and was in a daze, picked up a long sword like a dog for the first time.

He pointed his sword at the million-strong army of Da Zhou who was approaching the city, and cursed vigorously: "Old man Chu Lie, if you dare to lead troops to invade the territory of my cloud country, today I will take the life of the saint of Yun country, curse your Chu family, and cut off your children and grandchildren from now on. Anyone who is the crown prince will die suddenly. Even if you are sitting on thousands of miles of land, you will have no descendants to inherit!"

After finishing speaking, he swung his long sword, ignoring the fear in his daughter's eyes, slashed her throat, and pushed her off the tower.

Severe pain came, and bleeding bloomed on the neck.

In her dream, Shen Lingxi once again tasted what it was like before dying in her previous life.

When she was falling rapidly, the wild and hot wind like strong wine in Yunjiang violently blew her red gauze, as if trying to lift her body up.

The soul is pulled away in the extreme pain of body and mind.

She thought of her short life in her previous life, where she lived without any freedom, like a bird in a cage.

Only, at the last moment of life, I feel as light as a swallow, as if I have tasted the breath of freedom soaring in the sky.

As the princess of Yun Kingdom, she had imagined many ways to die——
Or die to guard the territory of Yunguo;
Or die to protect the lives of the people;

Or die to quell the war...

But he never thought that he would end his life in such an unbearable way.

The most important thing is - the death is ugly.

She became a "human sacrifice" used by the emperor to curse the Chu royal family.

The bones were so bloody and broken that no one dared to touch them.

People in the world are ignorant, how did they know that there is no real witchcraft curse in this world.

It's all because of cowardly and incompetent people like her scumbag father, who were quick to speak hard before dying.

She did not rest in peace, her ghost lingered, floating in mid-air.

Watching the scumbag being shot into a hedgehog by Da Zhou's iron cavalry arrows with his own eyes.

Then, the city gate was opened from the inside, and Da Zhou's army marched around her body in an orderly manner, and entered Yunbian City.

No one fought out and in, and no blood flowed into rivers.

Such a scene made her death more like a ridiculous joke.

At that time, she thought she would be like this, lying alone in front of the city gate, until her ugly body was dried up by the scorching sun in Yunjiang, and became even more hideous and terrifying.

Unexpectedly, a handsome young general in black gold armor walked up to her dead body.

He squatted down, with star-like eyes, his expression was compassionate.

He even reached out his white and slender hand and gently held her bloody fingertips.

"Grandfather, it must be very painful for her to fall from such a high tower."

The young man raised his head and looked at the majestic Emperor Zhou on the chariot. His cold voice was very sweet: "She is the same age as the imperial sister, and she must have loved beauty when she was alive. Can my grandson get someone to clean up for her? Put her in a funeral?"

Emperor Da Zhou frowned deeply and remained silent for a long time before nodding in agreement.

So, she hung in mid-air, watching with her own eyes that the boy ordered someone to carry a heavy coffin.

However, what is ridiculous is that she was a saintess revered by thousands of people during her lifetime, but when she died in this way, even if there was a coffin, no one dared to touch her body and bury her for her.

The young man picked up her broken limbs with his own hands, put them in the coffin, arranged them neatly, and gently wiped away the blood on her face with a snow-white brocade handkerchief.

The coffin was carried up to Yunshan and buried on the top of Yunshan overlooking the Yunguo desert.

At that time, she was ignorant and innocent.

He only felt that he had been honored and favored during his lifetime, and although his death was ridiculous, the young man placed his body properly after death, so he felt that he was considered complete.

Until later, her soul was blown around by the wind.

Seeing the ministers who encouraged her father to make her a human sacrifice, because they took the lead in opening the city gate to submit and surrender, they were awarded high officials and generous salaries by the Emperor of Zhou, enjoying all the glory and wealth.

He also saw his half-brother, the prince, who was escorted by his father's personal guards and fled to Dazhou. Although he kept his name incognito, he lived a prosperous life with wives and concubines, and he was obsessed with the great cause of restoring the country.

That was the first time she felt resentment and unwillingness.

She also saw her little aunt who treated her as her own, and for the sake of the peace of Yunguo, she became a concubine princess and married the Prince of Zhou as a side concubine.

She was worried about her little aunt, and her soul was attached to an embroidery picture that A Niang asked someone to embroider for her little aunt when she was alive.

Once the little aunt entered the East Palace, she was as lonely as snow.

The little aunt is cautious and sticks to her duties. Although she has never been favored by the prince, she never dares to complain.

In the dead of night, my little aunt would often take out the embroidered pictures she possessed, look at the beautiful mountains and rivers of Yunguo above, and express her homesickness.

She thought that in this way, she could spend her life with her little aunt in peace.

Unexpectedly, one day, the prince of the East Palace died suddenly, and the little aunt was identified as the culprit and was about to be executed by the Emperor of Zhou.

The embroidered picture possessed by her was also cut into pieces, and her soul was pulled by a strong force, and fell into darkness...

　Because the body was embalmed after death, he was reborn as an embalmer.
