Chapter 60

It is located in the east of Zealand, the Rose Manor in Copenhagen, the capital.
The manor is full of delicate roses, and the most beautiful flowers bloom in the sunshine.
In the fairytale castle in the ancient century, the carved totem door slowly opened, and a luxury car drove in.
The driver was a beautiful man with a shirt and a suit and long black hair, looking out of place with this era.And those green eyes are often mistaken for the rare emeralds in the world.He frowned, and said displeasedly, "Honey, sit down."
On the passenger seat, the cute doll-like girl pursed her mouth, but still turned her head to look at the back seat of the car, "Mom, what's wrong with my sister."
"Sister may be too tired, so she passed out." The woman's pretty short hair was exactly the same as the little girl's, which was weird.She comforted her little baby, and shouted angrily, "Hey, why are you here. Why don't you go back to our own castle?"
"Mom, Dad doesn't like strangers anymore." The little baby blinked and replied cleverly.
Immediately, the servants in the castle rushed to the car, "Master Yuren, Miss Zhaohuan, Miss."
"Get a doctor to treat the woman in the back seat, and let her go when she wakes up." The car window slowly fell, and Huangfu Yuren ordered to the servant outside the car.
Huangfu Yan stretched out her small hand and grabbed Huangfu Yuren's sleeve, raised her head pitifully, "Is Dad going to leave sister behind?"
"That's right, Huangfu Yuren, you are too bad!" Gu Zhaohuan hastily echoed from the side, and the two of them were completely on the same front.While supporting the unconscious woman, Gu Zhaohuan opened the car door, "Honey, get out of the car with mom, don't want dad anymore. We ran away from home."
Huangfu Yan clapped his hands, "Oh yeah, Dad, be careful when you go home."
After the words fell, the two got out of the car one after another.
Huangfu Yuren was silent, but his green eyes were full of gloom.Seeing two women, one big and one small, happily walking into the castle through the car window, he narrowed his eyes, as if extremely displeased.After a while, he finally opened the door and got out of the car.His tall and straight body was even more slender, and he pursed his lips and ran into the castle.
In a certain room in the castle, the girl was lying quietly on the big bed|, motionless.
Doctor Asak is examining her, and everyone waits patiently.
Huangfuyan waited for a long time, and finally couldn't help running to Asak's side. She tugged at the corner of Asaker's clothes, raised her head and said, "Uncle, is sister alright?"
"Miss, don't worry, she's fine." Asak touched her little head lovingly, and said in a deep voice.
Gu Zhaohuan patted away the hairy hand that was hugging his shoulder, and stood up, "Honey, let's not disturb my sister's rest."
"Okay, Mom." Huangfu Yan obediently walked towards Gu Zhaohuan, holding her big hand with her small hand.
Gu Zhaohuan picked up Huangfuyan, turned around and walked out of the room.
Huangfuyan turned to look at her sister who was still awake, and asked worriedly, "Mom, why is sister still awake?"
"My sister is sleepy, so I have to sleep." Gu Zhaohuan patted the baby, turned around and said, "Doctor Asak, she can't leave here without my permission. Also, if someone insists on blowing her Go, please tell me. Because I will blow that person away."
Asak lowered his head and said, "Understood, miss."
"Yan Yan is sleepy too, shall we go to sleep?" Huangfu Yan did not forget to wave to his father, indicating that we are together.
The three of them walked upstairs slowly.
※※※
The breeze was blowing gently, and the maid in the room was sitting on a chair, gradually dozing off by the warm wind.
Big bed | The girl with her eyes closed was gradually waking up.
Mingzhu slowly got up from a half-lying position, her movements were so light that there was no sound.And on her forehead, a trace of flame pattern gradually appeared like a brand mark.She got out of bed and put her bare feet on the floor.I don't know what attracted me, and I walked out of the room in a daze.
Step by step, he walked towards the top floor of the castle.
Finally, there was only one attic left in front of him.
There are subtle singing voices faintly coming from the attic.
Mingzhu walked to the attic naturally, she stretched out her hand to push the door, only to find that the door was not locked.In the attic, there was only one woman in a white linen dress.The woman lay peacefully on the bed|, her long hair covered her face, making it impossible to see her features clearly.There were words in her mouth, she didn't know what she was talking about, but there was a slight melody.
As soon as the wind blew, the door was blown shut.
Mingzhu suddenly came back to her senses and found herself in a strange place.
The room was very quiet, only a soft and low female voice rang out.She was humming something, which made people feel so familiar, "There are beauties, and you will never forget them. If you don't see them for a day, you will miss them like crazy. Phoenixes are flying, seeking phoenixes from all over the world. There are helpless beauties, not in the east wall. Replace the Qin with the words, chat and write from the bottom of my heart, wish words to be worthy of virtue, and join hands with each other."
"When will I see Xu Xi, comfort me..."
The woman sang softly, as if no one was there.
How could it be this song, how could it be "Beauty Comes", how could it be.
Mingzhu was stunned, the familiar tone came to the bottom of her ears, something was smashed to pieces with a bang.
His body seemed to be no longer his own, limp and without any strength.She walked towards the big bed hesitantly, knelt halfway on the edge of the bed, opened her mouth almost involuntarily, and then chanted, "When will you see Xu Xi, comfort me when I am wandering, don't let me fly, let me perish, cause me to perish. "
Her voice couldn't help trembling, and suddenly remembered his deep voice.
He said, finally saw you smiling.
The woman's originally empty eyes met the bright pearl, and it took a long time before they came into focus.She held Mingzhu's wrist with her skinny hand, and asked stupidly, "How do you know this song, how can you sing it."
"Feng Zhanxiu." She squeezed out these three words dryly.
"How do you know Zhanxiu?" Ruoya opened her big eyes suddenly, they were a pair of beautiful and clear eyes, like someone.
Mingzhu shook her head, and suddenly found that she couldn't say a word.
Ruoya laughed suddenly, she reached out tremblingly and pulled out the Linglong jade tied around her neck, and grasped the Linglong jade like a treasure, "Have you been to that world too. Have you seen him. He... ...have you grown up?"
"He has grown up." Mingzhu chuckled, "Yes, he has grown up."
Although he grew up in hatred, he still grew up.
Ruoya tried her best to tear off the Linglong jade from her neck.She put the piece of jade into Mingzhu's palm and held it gently.She closed her eyes slowly, and said softly, "I've always missed him...I've always missed him..."
Ruoya shed tears and her voice became softer and weaker.
Mingzhu held the piece of Linglong jade and her hand at the same time, "He knows that you miss him very much, and he also misses you very much."
"Really?" Joya asked stupidly.
"Really." Mingzhu replied choked up.
Ruoya felt a little tired, and her eyes were bright and dark, as if she saw someone she missed.Unconsciously raised the corners of his lips, showing a smile, opened his arms towards the vague outline, and instantly turned into nothingness.
Looking at the Linglong Jade in her hand, Mingzhu couldn't help but shed tears.
Feng Zhanxiu, I finally met your mother.do you know.I traveled through a whole 1000 years and went back in time.What clone is just the self in the previous life 1000 years ago.And my marriage with you, until the first day of snow.In order to rewrite your history, I would not hesitate to fall into reincarnation and suffer all kinds of hardships.
All just to meet you.
I am not willing to kill you when you glance back at the splendor.
Because you are the son of the devil.
And I'm an exorcist.
※※※
In a certain room of the castle, Huangfu Yuren was taking a nap with Gu Zhaohuan in his arms.
Suddenly, the two-year-old Huangfu Yan opened his eyes. The little guy had actually not fallen asleep.When Mom and Dad fell asleep, she sneaked out from between the two of them, and walked out of the room lightly.She stood on tiptoe with difficulty and opened the door.Then poked his head out and looked outside.
After making sure no one was there, she walked out.
It's been a long time since I saw Aunt Ruoya, she's going to have a look.Also listen to my aunt telling stories about the Dark Lord.Mom and Dad are so annoying, they say it's a fairy tale, it's a lie.
Huangfuyan walked to the attic, but saw the older sister who had just fallen asleep on the stairs.
Huangfu Yan ran up a few stairs curiously, looked up at her, "Sister, are you awake?"
Mingzhu remembered, it was that little girl.She touched her head and said softly, "Yes, my sister is awake. Thank you. What's your name."
"Sister, my name is Huangfuyan. What's your name?" She showed a bright smile.
"My name is Ye Mingzhu." Mingzhu also smiled, "Can you take my sister out. My sister must go home, otherwise, my sister's mother will look for her."
"Oh, okay. Then I'll take my sister out." Huangfuyan nodded sensiblely, and walked downstairs holding Mingzhu's hand.
The two walked up the spiral staircase and finally came to the lobby on the ground floor.Oncoming are fiery red roses, fragrant and charming.When the servants in the manor saw Huangfu Yan, they immediately bowed respectfully and shouted, "Miss."
Huangfu Yan waved to them, "Open the door."
"Yes!"
The gate opened slowly, and a blue car parked not far outside the castle.
Mingzhu let go of Huangfuyan's hand, and kissed her on the cheek, "Sister is leaving."
"Bye-Bye."
"Sister, wait a minute. Do you believe in the legend of the devil king?" Huangfuyan asked.
"I believe. My sister believes in all the impossible things in this world." Mingzhu hugged her lightly, and whispered in her ear, "If you meet, you must believe, he must be your destiny." She Let go of Huangfu Yan, smiled at her, and walked out of the castle slowly.
The azure car turned around and sped away.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the distant sky is connected into an empty and silent color.
On the top floor of a building, two figures suddenly flashed.The seven Canglang stars suddenly flashed in the night sky, and a beam of colorful light flashed in the sky, like a rainbow, and like a ladder to summon souls.After that, a black ray of light was left behind, exuding crystal clear and tiny crystals.
Those crystals floated in the air, floating around the two of them, fading away.
Suddenly, Mingzhu's long black hair reached down to her waist, and the flame pattern between her eyebrows came alive.Linglongyu was tied to her wrist with a red string, she stretched out her hand towards the air, and a sky-shattering scythe flashed in her palm.The blood-colored sky-shattering sickle glowed with scarlet light, the tip of the sickle was as cold as a cold moon, and the whole body was as silvery as snow.
She waved her hand, and the sky-shattering scythe disappeared without a trace.
"Master, I'll pick you up." You Ming bowed his head respectfully, his red hair fluttering in the air.
"Ye, the time has come. This is a fixed number, an unchangeable fixed number. You are destined to be hostile."
"Mom, I don't want to go back a thousand years later."
"Night!" the woman exclaimed angrily.
"Mom!" She stepped forward and hugged the woman, "Thank you, thank you for staying by my side."
"Don't you blame me." The woman sighed and hugged her back.Because he wanted to keep her, he blocked her love.He even lied to her that she was a test-tube baby and trained her to be a cold-blooded monster without emotion, but the facts proved that he failed in the end.Now her child still chooses to stay.
Mingzhu shook her head, "I love you, Mom."
"You have violated God's will and insisted on changing history. You will receive the most severe punishment. The gate of time and space will be closed soon, and it will never be opened again. Do you really want to stay?" The woman looked at her tenderly, and finally asked once.
"Yes, I will stay."
A cluster of flames burned in the air, burning the woman and the ghost, and then suddenly disappeared.
Mingzhu's body gradually turned transparent and scattered countless rays of light.
A gust of wind blew by, and there was no sign of anyone on the top floor of the building.
Wanxiang Building
In the air came the sound of singing, and the sound of merry-go-round laughter.
It was just noon, and he was already drunk.The Zizhu Pavilion surrounded by a large grove of purple bamboos looks elegant.It seems to be a piece of pure land, far away from the hustle and bustle of corruption.
In the inner room, Gongsun Qingming gently picked up the sleeping Mingzhu on the collapsed bed.Then he walked towards a big wooden box, bent slightly, and carefully placed her in the box.After cautiously looking at the ventilation holes around the box, he was sure that everything was safe, so he was relieved.
He stretched out his hand again to stroke the few strands of hair clinging to her face, and said warmly, "Mingzhu, it will be a little boring. Just bear with it."
Mingzhu closed her eyes, and the silence seemed to represent an answer.
Gongsun Qingming stood up, reached out and covered the box heavily.He glanced at the wooden box, turned around and walked outside, and told the boy, "Get the carriage, we are leaving."
"Okay, son!"
But after a while, Xiao Tong prepared the carriage and turned back.Accompanied by two big men.Just as the two big men were about to step forward to carry the box, Gongsun Qingming walked up to the big wooden box, pointed at it, and said in a deep voice, "Move this first. It's a valuable thing inside, don't touch it, be careful."
"Young master, please rest assured!" The two big men replied.
Immediately, a group of people walked slowly to the backyard, and several large wooden boxes were carried onto the carriage one after another.
Gongsun Qingming glanced at Xiaotong, who took out an ingot of gold to thank the two big men, "It will be troublesome later."
"I would like to listen to your son's orders." The two big men got a piece of gold with a little effort, and left happily.
"A Li, you stay here for the time being. A Chen, I will enter the palace and bid farewell to His Majesty. After I leave, you can drive away. Wait for me five miles outside the city." Gongsun Qingming took out a token from his waist and instructed, "This is His Majesty's token. When you leave the city, you just need to show this to the guards."
"Understood!" Achen took the token with both hands and nodded.
When Gongsun Qingming walked out of Wanxiang Tower, the two people who were watching around Wanxiang Tower followed behind.The three of them were April and May among the twelve cavalrymen. They thought that Gongsun Qingming would go to meet the princess, so they hurriedly followed.It's just that Gongsun Qingming unexpectedly entered the palace.
After Gongsun Qingming left, the little boy Achen drove out of the city in a carriage.
At the gate of the city, he took out the token and showed it to the guards, who immediately let him pass through.

Royal Palace
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Feng Zhanxiu was furious.
His rage was different from that of ordinary people, who roared like thunder, but he was as quiet as death.Just now, an order has been issued to search and arrest the whole city, not to let go of any place.If you can't find the imperial palace, then search all over the country. If you still can't find it, then he will kill all the way there and search the entire Nine Kingdoms continent!
"Your Majesty! Young Master Gongsun sees you!" The eunuch lowered his head and rushed to report.
"Xuan!"
"Mr. Xuangong and Sun Gongzi have an audience!"
Gongsun Qingming, dressed in white and elegant, walked into the hall.He walked to the center of the hall and stopped, then bowed and said, "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
Feng Zhanxiu clouded his handsome appearance, sitting high on the dragon chair and staring at the people coming.
"Your Majesty, I am here to bid farewell to Your Majesty." Gongsun Qingming's expression was the same, and he smiled warmly.
"It's really time to go." Feng Zhanxiu said sarcastically, each of them understood the meaning.
Gongsun Qingming played sloppy eyes, and explained slowly, "It was originally because of your majesty's big wedding, I wanted to come here to ask for a cup of wedding wine. But your majesty's marriage has been delayed again and again, and you have stayed in the capital for many days. Now you have to Go to the Northern Liao Kingdom to do business. The most important thing for a businessman is integrity, I..."
"Go quickly!" Feng Zhanxiu interrupted his long speech with a cold voice.
"I obey! Your Majesty, take your leave!"
After Gongsun Qingming left, the three cavalry who followed him back to the palace rushed into the palace one after another.
"Your Majesty! Your subordinates have not found the princess! Do you want to continue to monitor Gongsun Gongzi's whereabouts!" Si Yue bowed her head and pleaded.
Feng Zhanxiu was silent for a while, then suddenly stood up from the dragon chair.He strode out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, always worried about Gongsun Qingming.More likely, who is calling him, who is calling him to go.
Ever since, he followed behind again and followed Gongsun Qingming to Wanxiang Tower.
In the backyard of Wanxiang Tower, Gongsun Qingtian was ordering people to carry several large wooden boxes onto the carriage.
"Wait!" A deep male voice suddenly sounded.
Feng Zhanxiu walked in from outside the courtyard, and several cavalrymen behind him surrounded Gongsun Qingming, preventing him from having a chance to sneak attack.When Gongsun Qingming saw him, he was a little surprised, or not very surprised. He just said indifferently, "Your Majesty really cares about me. I have already submitted my resignation. Your Majesty will come to send me the next trip! I am so grateful!"
"Open the box!" Feng Zhanxiu glanced at Gongsun Qingming and glanced at several large boxes on the ground.
"What is His Majesty doing?"
"Open!"
"Yes!" Immediately, May opened the boxes one by one.
There are a few large boxes full, and inside the boxes are countless high-quality silks and satins, rare antiques, agate jadeite, calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, all of which are treasures among treasures without exception.
Feng Zhanxiu was not moved by these belongings, but suddenly seemed to have lost his mind and lost his mind.Mingzhu, where should he find her.
As the sun was setting, a carriage left the city.
In the gazebo five miles outside the city, another carriage has been waiting for a long time.The little boy Achen waved happily when he saw the person coming.When the two carriages met, Gongsun Qingming immediately ran into Ah Chen's carriage.He hurriedly opened the big box, Mingzhu was still sleeping peacefully.He breathed a sigh of relief, and directed to the two boys, "Go back to Bixia Villa!"
The carriage rattled forward, and inside the carriage, Gongsun Qingming released Mingzhu's sleeping hole.
Mingzhu opened her eyes sleepily, and rubbed them in a daze.
"Mingzhu, are you awake?" Gongsun Qingming said happily as he held her in his arms.
"Who are you?" She blinked innocently, looking at him like a stranger.
Gongsun Qingming panicked, "Mingzhu? Don't you remember me?"
three years later
The king of war raised his troops to fight in all directions, and the Shengxin dynasty entered the most powerful and prosperous age since the king of war became emperor.And the King of War even swore an oath that he would definitely become a dynasty for the whole world.Now that the situation is tense, the remaining five countries have united as allies to resist the invasion|occupation of the King of War with all their strength.
The flames of war temporarily subsided, and the Northern Liao Kingdom, the Great Shang Kingdom, and the Yeyue Kingdom paid tribute to the Shengxin Dynasty with rare treasures and bowed their heads to the Shengxin Dynasty.
Of course, this also includes countless women.
Rumor has it that these women were all looking for according to the portrait given by the King of War.No matter the forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, or lips, even if there is only a little resemblance, all must be shown to the subordinates of the King of War.The subordinates who read are the famous Twelve Cavalrymen, the most elite soldiers of the King of War.
Strangely enough, none of these women were left behind.
At this moment, in the hall where the Shengxin Dynasty drafted, the twelve cavalrymen were so tired that they were about to lie down.I think when the 12 of them fought with Wang Nanzheng and Beibei, when did they cry out that they were tired?But now, they couldn't bear it anymore.The girls collectively lay down on the table, motionless, and didn't even have the strength to open their eyes.
"It's more tiring than fighting!"
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
Somebody muttered unbearably, and all the girls echoed.
Jiuyue raised her head, looked at the stack of lists in her hand, and shook her head indifferently, "I said, are those people crazy? They don't look alike at all, how could they be selected? What's more exaggerated is , that woman just now is so fat! How can our princess be so fat!"
September said and made a gesture.
The third child waved his hands, and quickly interjected, "What is this! The woman I saw just now had cross-eyed eyes! I don't understand why the portrait of our princess has cross-eyed eyes! The princess's eyes are so beautiful It's big and bright like a black gem!"
"Hey! This is not outrageous! The one who was limping just now, according to the note in the booklet, is the daughter of a high-ranking official."
"Ah?" The girls were speechless and fell down again.
The sky outside the hall is so blue, and the weather is so warm, you should sleep.But, but, but outside this hall, there are countless women waiting for them to "check and pass"!Are they all crazy?Although His Majesty is indeed handsome and immaculate, and mighty and extraordinary, but there is no need to be like this, right?
"How much more?" Xiao Yaomei asked in December.
The eunuch looked at the list in his hand, and immediately replied, "My lord, there are still 700 people."
"700 people?" How come there are so many!
By the time they finish watching, it will be almost dark.

Qianning Palace
Since Pingle Palace caught fire three years ago, Murong Feixue lived in Qianning Palace and lived in seclusion.Naturally, she couldn't afford any disturbances.And in the past three years, Feng Zhanxiu has been fighting outside all year round, and he doesn't come back often.
The days when she met him were pitifully numbered.
It is rare to go back to the palace once, and I will not come to visit her.
Just ordering Yun Ni to send some things, it can be regarded as a filial piety.
Murong Feixue naturally knew that he was still blaming himself for ordering someone to set fire back then.It's just that things have changed. When a person dies, he is dead. Why should he go to war like this.Moreover, that woman is a descendant of Daxing, the daughter of the enemy who killed the former king, and she must not be kept.For various reasons, she never regretted her decision.
I'm afraid that if the time is longer, he will be able to understand her painstaking efforts.
"Empress Dowager, Guard Yun, please see me!" A court lady rushed into the palace and said softly.
Murong Feixue was sitting in the hall, playing chess alone.White in one hand and black in the other.Hearing the maid's reply, she said slowly, "Let her in!"
"Yes!" The maid immediately left the palace, and then Yun Ni walked in.
Yun Ni was the same as three years ago, without much change.She is still very heroic, calm and calm, but she has a bit of Feng Zhanxiu's calm posture.I am afraid that whichever master you follow, your heart will change accordingly.Yun Ni walked to the center of the hall, bowed and said, "The Queen Mother is a thousand years old! Your Majesty ordered his subordinates to send gifts!"
Yun Ni walked aside, and the palace maids who followed immediately lined up one by one.
"This is Baishan long ginseng, thousand-year-old snow lotus, jade ruyi, red coral and amethyst. The two boxes here are full of precious medicinal materials. If the empress dowager is weak and cold, she can naturally take it." Yun Ni said softly , "The subordinate has finished reporting, please take a look at the empress dowager."
Murong Feixue waved her hand casually without even looking at it.
The maids bowed their heads and stepped back.
Yun Ni bowed slightly, and also turned around to leave, Murong Feixue said again, "Guardian Yun, how are you doing lately."
"The subordinates are terrified. The empress dowager can still call the subordinates by their names." Yun Ni immediately stopped.
"How is the Ai family qualified? You are His Majesty's guard, not the Ai family's guard." Murong Feixue picked up the sunspots and looked at the chess game, "Let's play this game with the Ai family. It is really boring to play alone. .”
"Empress Dowager! This subordinate has to go back and return!"
Murong Feixue put down the sunspot, and turned to look at her.I saw that her whole body was thinner than the last time I saw her, and there was a cut on her cheek, which was obviously a war wound.She sneered, "Some people are really weird. It's not appropriate to let the queen go, but they want to be guards."
"Subordinates should be like this." Yun Ni was neither humble nor overbearing.
"Stand back!" Murong Feixue withdrew her gaze, her expression indifferent.
"Yes!" Yun Ni walked out of Qianning Palace smoothly.
Murong Feixue was so angry that she reached out her hand and threw the half-played chess game to the ground.
"Empress Dowager!" The maid was so frightened that she knelt down and bowed to the ground.
Outside Qianning Palace, there was a person waiting.
Yun Ni looked up and saw a figure in Tsing Yi.She walked up to him, and they walked side by side.Yun Ni turned her head and glanced at him, then said softly, "Why are you here?"
"Just fine." Zhongli's reason was a bit far-fetched.
"Master went to Liangyi Palace again?"
Zhongli nodded, Yun Ni stopped making a sound.How time flies, Xiao Xuanyi is already four years old.
However, the princess still has no sound training.
In the Liangyi Hall, several princesses from the former Daxing Dynasty lived.The young princesses have grown up and become young girls.The steward of Liangyi Hall is Eunuch De, the chief eunuch of the former dynasty, who is responsible for taking care of the little princesses.Of course, there are also former empress Liu Shuiyao and the children of Liu Shuiyao and Emperor Xiao.
Xiao Xuanyi is four years old.
His eyes are very similar to Dong Xiaotian, with delicate features, he must be a handsome boy when he grows up.It's just that this temperament is probably like Liu Shuiyao's, it's really naughty.He couldn't calm down at all, playing with this princess sister for a while, and playing with that princess sister for a while.
No, I said I was going to catch fish earlier, but I went to climb a tree in the blink of an eye.
"Eunuch De! It's not good, Xuan Yi won't be able to get down after climbing the tree!" Several little princesses rushed in and said hurriedly.
"Hush!" Eunuch De gestured, and then pointed to Liu Shuiyao on the recliner.
Liu Shuiyao just drank the medicine and just fell asleep.
She has been blind for three years, and has been insane.Whenever I hear the word "Xuan Yi", I wake up with a start and become anxious about gains and losses.So many times, if Xiao Xuanyi was mischievous, or suddenly disappeared, they would never mention it in front of Liu Shuiyao.
Eunuch De was immediately led by several little princesses, and walked out of the palace.
In the courtyard at the back of Liangyi Hall, there is a towering tree.It takes five people holding hands to encircle the trunk of the big tree, and the trunk is even thicker.As soon as the group ran into the yard, they heard Xiao Xuanyi's crying. Xiao Xuanyi hugged the tree trunk and shouted, "Eunuch De, save me. Sister, help me."
"Xuan Yi! Oh! My little ancestor!" Seeing this, Eunuch De was so frightened that he became dizzy.
How did he climb such a tall tree?That's good, once you climb up, you can't get down!
Several little princesses stood under the tree, looked at him worriedly, and reminded him from time to time, "Xuan Yi, hold on tightly, don't let go! I've gone to call someone, and there will be guards coming to rescue you soon!"
"Sister! Father-in-law! My hands are about to lose strength." Xiao Xuanyi sniffed, feeling a little pitiful.Suddenly, a bug crawled up the trunk in front of him.Xiao Xuanyi immediately wrinkled his small face and yelled unbearably, "Help! I hate bugs the most! Help!"
He cried and yelled, with his arms around the tree trunk, his body leaned forward, and his whole body was on the verge of falling.
"Ah!" Everyone yelled in horror and rushed to pick it up.
Xiao Xuanyi fell from the tree trunk and closed her eyes in fear.
At this time, a black figure flew through the air like the wind.Before everyone saw who was coming, Xiao Xuanyi was already hugged by that black figure, and landed safely on the ground in the blink of an eye.After everyone came back to their senses, they immediately bowed down tremblingly, "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
Feng Zhanxiu was heroic, his bright black eyes swept across the crowd, "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone got up again.
Xiao Xuanyi hugged Feng Zhanxiu's thigh, still in shock.
Feng Zhanxiu lowered his head to look at him, and the original calm handsome face was filled with a faint mist.He let go of Xiao Xuanyi's hand calmly, and said in a deep voice, "How can a dignified man be afraid of a bug? I will give you three days to catch a hundred bugs. After three days, I will come to inspect and accept them!" "
"Don't!" Xiao Xuanyi pursed his mouth, too stubborn to cry, "I hate bugs!"
"If you don't want it, you have to!" Feng Zhanxiu shouted coldly, turning around without looking back.
Xiao Xuanyi took a step to catch up with him, and grabbed the hem of his clothes.Feng Zhanxiu's eyes were chilling, he just glanced at him.Everyone was trembling with fright, but Xiao Xuanyi was not afraid of his coldness at all. He raised his face and bargained, "Three days is too little time, I can't catch more than a hundred bugs."
I don't know what's wrong, but he is not afraid of this majesty who everyone regards as scary.
Feng Zhanxiu waved his little hand away, and looked at everyone again, "Listen well, whoever dares to help him will be punished severely by this king!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Everyone quickly echoed.
Xiao Xuanyi stomped his feet and shouted, "But I really have to complain! Can't you just give me another day!"
"By the way." Feng Zhanxiu took a few steps forward, turned his head and added, "I forgot to tell you that today is included in these three days!"
ah?Xiao Xuanyi drooped his head, looking like he wanted to cry but had no tears.
Seeing this situation, everyone couldn't help laughing.There are times when the little magic star can be tamed!
※※※
In the sleeping hall of Liangyi Hall, Liu Shuiyao was still sleeping peacefully on the recliner.
She covered her eyes with a black cloth, because her eyes were red and swollen after crying and went blind, and she was afraid of frightening Xiao Xuanyi, so she covered her eyes with a black cloth.This mask has been covered for many years and has never been taken off.Xiao Xuanyi once secretly took off the black cloth and cried all of a sudden.Then I never dared to reveal it again.
Feng Zhanxiu walked into the bedroom quietly, and walked in front of her silently.Just staring at her for a long time, Liu Shuiyao could not wake up.After a while, he walked out of the bedroom as silently as when he came.
"Oh! Don't stop me! I'm going to catch bugs!" Xuan Yi roared like a little adult from a distance.
Feng Zhanxiu stopped involuntarily and closed his eyes.
"Your Majesty!" Eunuch De walked behind him and shouted heavily.
Feng Zhanxiu glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and turned around slowly.
Eunuch De bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty loves Xuan Yi very much."
"Love him?" Feng Zhanxiu snorted coldly, seeming to be very disdainful.With a gloomy tone, he said casually, "This king just thinks that life is too boring. Isn't it very interesting to raise the son of the enemy?"
Hearing what he said, Eunuch De said softly, "Your Majesty, he is also your relative."
"Dear ones? This king never needs it." Feng Zhanxiu narrowed his eyes and stopped here.
Eunuch De looked at his back as he hurried away, and sighed.
Feng Zhanxiu was the son of King Ao and Princess Qin back then, he didn't expect that he didn't die, but survived.
I'm afraid this is all God's will, and it has already been doomed in the dark.
After the scorching heat of summer, the evening wind blows on people's bodies, refreshing.
It’s October again, the Mid-Autumn Festival in October, when the moon is full, people should be full too.The palace is full of lanterns to welcome the annual reunion festival.The full moon is in the sky, very bright, and the moonlight is cold, shining on people like silver.
In the gazebo in the Imperial Garden, Feng Zhanxiu dispersed the eunuchs and maids, as well as Zhongli and Yun Ni.
He was left alone, drinking a glass of wine quietly and watching the moon quietly.
Suddenly, a small figure swiftly rushed into the empty imperial garden.
By the moonlight, I saw the little figure.
It was Xiao Xuanyi.
Xiao Xuanyi was wearing a white brocade robe, which really looked like Dong Xiaotian's childhood appearance.Holding a wooden box in his hand, he happily ran into the gazebo.He was out of breath, raised a joyful smile, and said proudly, "Your Majesty, I have already caught a hundred bugs! Exactly three days!"
"Oh?" Feng Zhanxiu asked suspiciously, as if he didn't believe it.
Xiao Xuanyi immediately put down the wooden box and opened the lid.The box is full of small caterpillars, and the wriggling looks are a bit disgusting, which will make people's skin crawl.Xiao Xuanyi was no longer afraid, he reached out and grabbed one, and quickly closed the lid of the box.He stood up straight, and grabbed the caterpillar in front of Feng Zhanxiu.
"Your Majesty, look." Xiao Xuanyi's face was innocent and fearless.
Feng Zhanxiu took a sip of his wine and put down his glass, "I saw it."
Xiao Xuanyi casually threw the little caterpillar to the grass, put his hands on his hips and said mightily, "I'm very powerful."
Feng Zhanxiu was silent.
"Your Majesty!" Xiao Xuanyi leaned close to Feng Zhanxiu, put his arms around his wrist, and said coquettishly, "I heard from the princess sister that there is a Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"So what." Feng Zhanxiu's expression was always calm and calm.
Xiao Xuanyi simply stuck to him, and said affectionately, "I want to see it. Will you? Your Majesty will take me to see it?"
"Why did the king take you there?"
"Uh..." Xiao Xuanyi pointed to the wooden box on the ground and said brazenly, "Take it as a reward. Your Majesty asked me to catch a hundred bugs. If I complete the task, it's a reward."
Feng Zhanxiu glanced at him coldly, and said four words in a deep voice, "I won't go."
"If you don't go, you won't go." Xiao Xuanyi let go of his hand, seemingly in infinite disappointment, picked up the small wooden box and walked out of the imperial garden with loose shoulders.It's just that he didn't take a few steps, when someone behind him rushed to him, stretched out his wrist and pulled him up.The tall and straight figure flew up to the eaves of the palace in the blink of an eye, and ran towards the outside of the palace.
"Wow--"
※※※
Ducheng Avenue, a whole street full of lantern festivals.
Men, women, young and old brought their families with them. The adults were in high spirits, and the children cheered even more.Lantern Festival, guessing riddles, beautiful acrobatics, and delicious pastries.The ears are filled with the yelling of small merchants and peddlers, and there are clusters of colorful lights in front of my eyes.This is something that you don't usually see, but today you've bumped into it all.
At the end of the endless crowd, two figures flashed one behind the other.
"Small……"
Oh yes, the lady is disguised as a man!I have to change my mouth!
"Master, wait for us." Ah Chen and Ah Li chased for several blocks, really admiring the young lady's physical strength.
The young man in white, who was watching the goldfish fishing in front of him, did not turn his head, and stared at the goldfish booth without blinking his eyes as black as black jewels.She stretched out her hand to beckon, and shouted excitedly, "Ah Chen! Ah Li! Come and take a look! What a beautiful fish! This is even more beautiful than the fish on our island!"
Ah Chen and Ah Li ran to her side, and said dissatisfiedly, "Master, how can this goldfish be prettier than ours!"
"It's obviously good-looking! You have to be honest, you know!" Mingzhu patted the heads of the two and stood up.She looked around cleverly again, her thin figure squeezed into the crowd like a fish.Even though the two followers behind her shouted and begged for mercy, she still had fun.
"Master! Let's go back! Young master is coming back from doing business in Chu Qi Kingdom soon!"
"That's right! If the young master finds out that we didn't stay on the island peacefully, the young master will definitely be angry!"
"Master, shall we go back tomorrow?"
"Yes, I'll be back tomorrow!"
The two of you said one sentence to me, and the coordination was seamless.
Mingzhu couldn't take it anymore and covered her ears, shaking her head again and again.
Seeing that the mouths of the two were no longer opening and closing, she let go of her hand, raised her eyebrows and looked at Ah Chen, then glanced at Ah Li, and said angrily, "Don't be so disappointing, okay! It's rare for us to slip away." Come out once, it’s too bad not to have a good time.”
"A Li, I want candied haws! Ah Chen, I want that lantern!"
Mingzhu pointed to the left and right with both hands, and the two of them said "hey" helplessly, and went to buy candied haws and lanterns.
There are flickering lanterns ahead, faintly like sparks guiding people home.A crowd of black crows drowned her thin figure.Ah Chen and Ah Li followed behind her, staring at the young lady intently, for fear of getting separated.If they get separated, they are finished.
Although it is rare for the young master to get angry, once he gets angry, it is still very scary.
The figures of the three disappeared into the crowd, and then two figures, one large and one small, suddenly appeared.
Xiao Xuanyi tugged at the corner of Feng Zhanxiu's clothes, looking around from time to time, like a curious baby.Feng Zhanxiu was expressionless, but the awe-inspiring aura made everyone feel an inexplicable chill, so he stepped aside consciously.Suddenly, there was a cry in the air, which seemed to be far away.
This familiar voice...
Feng Zhanxiu stared openly, and suddenly glanced around.A pair of eagle eyes searched for something in the crowd, and his expression suddenly became blank.
And that person seemed to be in a dimly lit place, but he couldn't see him when he looked back.
Pearl, could it be you?
"Your Majesty..." Xiao Xuanyi turned his head and shouted, looking at the crowded crowd ahead.But seeing Feng Zhanxiu cast a cold glance again, he hastily stopped talking.Ahhh, now that I'm out of the palace, I can't call it that.But what should he call His Majesty?After thinking about it, he changed his voice and shouted, "Uncle Huang."
Feng Zhanxiu was still cold, and his eagle eyes looked at the crowd of black crows loosely.
"Uncle Huang!" Seeing that he didn't give him any cold eyes, Xiao Xuanyi immediately understood that he accepted the title.He happily tugged on Feng Zhanxiu's sleeves, and stretched his fingers forward, "Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang, I'm going to have a look there."
Feng Zhanxiu didn't have the slightest interest in it, and was even more bored.He has always hated crowded places, and he also hated noisy places.Just caught a glimpse of a certain bright little face from the corner of the eye, he unconsciously started walking towards the crowd.The tall and straight body, handsome and charming appearance, can't help but make people look sideways.
"Hey? This young man is so handsome."
(End of this chapter)
丹麦
It is located in the east of Zealand, the Rose Manor in Copenhagen, the capital.
The manor is full of delicate roses, and the most beautiful flowers bloom in the sunshine.
In the fairytale castle in the ancient century, the carved totem door slowly opened, and a luxury car drove in.
The driver was a beautiful man with a shirt and a suit and long black hair, looking out of place with this era.And those green eyes are often mistaken for the rare emeralds in the world.He frowned, and said displeasedly, "Honey, sit down."
On the passenger seat, the cute doll-like girl pursed her mouth, but still turned her head to look at the back seat of the car, "Mom, what's wrong with my sister."
"Sister may be too tired, so she passed out." The woman's pretty short hair was exactly the same as the little girl's, which was weird.She comforted her little baby, and shouted angrily, "Hey, why are you here. Why don't you go back to our own castle?"
"Mom, Dad doesn't like strangers anymore." The little baby blinked and replied cleverly.
Immediately, the servants in the castle rushed to the car, "Master Yuren, Miss Zhaohuan, Miss."
"Get a doctor to treat the woman in the back seat, and let her go when she wakes up." The car window slowly fell, and Huangfu Yuren ordered to the servant outside the car.
Huangfu Yan stretched out her small hand and grabbed Huangfu Yuren's sleeve, raised her head pitifully, "Is Dad going to leave sister behind?"
"That's right, Huangfu Yuren, you are too bad!" Gu Zhaohuan hastily echoed from the side, and the two of them were completely on the same front.While supporting the unconscious woman, Gu Zhaohuan opened the car door, "Honey, get out of the car with mom, don't want dad anymore. We ran away from home."
Huangfu Yan clapped his hands, "Oh yeah, Dad, be careful when you go home."
After the words fell, the two got out of the car one after another.
Huangfu Yuren was silent, but his green eyes were full of gloom.Seeing two women, one big and one small, happily walking into the castle through the car window, he narrowed his eyes, as if extremely displeased.After a while, he finally opened the door and got out of the car.His tall and straight body was even more slender, and he pursed his lips and ran into the castle.
In a certain room in the castle, the girl was lying quietly on the big bed|, motionless.
Doctor Asak is examining her, and everyone waits patiently.
Huangfuyan waited for a long time, and finally couldn't help running to Asak's side. She tugged at the corner of Asaker's clothes, raised her head and said, "Uncle, is sister alright?"
"Miss, don't worry, she's fine." Asak touched her little head lovingly, and said in a deep voice.
Gu Zhaohuan patted away the hairy hand that was hugging his shoulder, and stood up, "Honey, let's not disturb my sister's rest."
"Okay, Mom." Huangfu Yan obediently walked towards Gu Zhaohuan, holding her big hand with her small hand.
Gu Zhaohuan picked up Huangfuyan, turned around and walked out of the room.
Huangfuyan turned to look at her sister who was still awake, and asked worriedly, "Mom, why is sister still awake?"
"My sister is sleepy, so I have to sleep." Gu Zhaohuan patted the baby, turned around and said, "Doctor Asak, she can't leave here without my permission. Also, if someone insists on blowing her Go, please tell me. Because I will blow that person away."
Asak lowered his head and said, "Understood, miss."
"Yan Yan is sleepy too, shall we go to sleep?" Huangfu Yan did not forget to wave to his father, indicating that we are together.
The three of them walked upstairs slowly.
※※※
The breeze was blowing gently, and the maid in the room was sitting on a chair, gradually dozing off by the warm wind.
Big bed | The girl with her eyes closed was gradually waking up.
Mingzhu slowly got up from a half-lying position, her movements were so light that there was no sound.And on her forehead, a trace of flame pattern gradually appeared like a brand mark.She got out of bed and put her bare feet on the floor.I don't know what attracted me, and I walked out of the room in a daze.
Step by step, he walked towards the top floor of the castle.
Finally, there was only one attic left in front of him.
There are subtle singing voices faintly coming from the attic.
Mingzhu walked to the attic naturally, she stretched out her hand to push the door, only to find that the door was not locked.In the attic, there was only one woman in a white linen dress.The woman lay peacefully on the bed|, her long hair covered her face, making it impossible to see her features clearly.There were words in her mouth, she didn't know what she was talking about, but there was a slight melody.
As soon as the wind blew, the door was blown shut.
Mingzhu suddenly came back to her senses and found herself in a strange place.
The room was very quiet, only a soft and low female voice rang out.She was humming something, which made people feel so familiar, "There are beauties, and you will never forget them. If you don't see them for a day, you will miss them like crazy. Phoenixes are flying, seeking phoenixes from all over the world. There are helpless beauties, not in the east wall. Replace the Qin with the words, chat and write from the bottom of my heart, wish words to be worthy of virtue, and join hands with each other."
"When will I see Xu Xi, comfort me..."
The woman sang softly, as if no one was there.
How could it be this song, how could it be "Beauty Comes", how could it be.
Mingzhu was stunned, the familiar tone came to the bottom of her ears, something was smashed to pieces with a bang.
His body seemed to be no longer his own, limp and without any strength.She walked towards the big bed hesitantly, knelt halfway on the edge of the bed, opened her mouth almost involuntarily, and then chanted, "When will you see Xu Xi, comfort me when I am wandering, don't let me fly, let me perish, cause me to perish. "
Her voice couldn't help trembling, and suddenly remembered his deep voice.
He said, finally saw you smiling.
The woman's originally empty eyes met the bright pearl, and it took a long time before they came into focus.She held Mingzhu's wrist with her skinny hand, and asked stupidly, "How do you know this song, how can you sing it."
"Feng Zhanxiu." She squeezed out these three words dryly.
"How do you know Zhanxiu?" Ruoya opened her big eyes suddenly, they were a pair of beautiful and clear eyes, like someone.
Mingzhu shook her head, and suddenly found that she couldn't say a word.
Ruoya laughed suddenly, she reached out tremblingly and pulled out the Linglong jade tied around her neck, and grasped the Linglong jade like a treasure, "Have you been to that world too. Have you seen him. He... ...have you grown up?"
"He has grown up." Mingzhu chuckled, "Yes, he has grown up."
Although he grew up in hatred, he still grew up.
Ruoya tried her best to tear off the Linglong jade from her neck.She put the piece of jade into Mingzhu's palm and held it gently.She closed her eyes slowly, and said softly, "I've always missed him...I've always missed him..."
Ruoya shed tears and her voice became softer and weaker.
Mingzhu held the piece of Linglong jade and her hand at the same time, "He knows that you miss him very much, and he also misses you very much."
"Really?" Joya asked stupidly.
"Really." Mingzhu replied choked up.
Ruoya felt a little tired, and her eyes were bright and dark, as if she saw someone she missed.Unconsciously raised the corners of his lips, showing a smile, opened his arms towards the vague outline, and instantly turned into nothingness.
Looking at the Linglong Jade in her hand, Mingzhu couldn't help but shed tears.
Feng Zhanxiu, I finally met your mother.do you know.I traveled through a whole 1000 years and went back in time.What clone is just the self in the previous life 1000 years ago.And my marriage with you, until the first day of snow.In order to rewrite your history, I would not hesitate to fall into reincarnation and suffer all kinds of hardships.
All just to meet you.
I am not willing to kill you when you glance back at the splendor.
Because you are the son of the devil.
And I'm an exorcist.
※※※
In a certain room of the castle, Huangfu Yuren was taking a nap with Gu Zhaohuan in his arms.
Suddenly, the two-year-old Huangfu Yan opened his eyes. The little guy had actually not fallen asleep.When Mom and Dad fell asleep, she sneaked out from between the two of them, and walked out of the room lightly.She stood on tiptoe with difficulty and opened the door.Then poked his head out and looked outside.
After making sure no one was there, she walked out.
It's been a long time since I saw Aunt Ruoya, she's going to have a look.Also listen to my aunt telling stories about the Dark Lord.Mom and Dad are so annoying, they say it's a fairy tale, it's a lie.
Huangfuyan walked to the attic, but saw the older sister who had just fallen asleep on the stairs.
Huangfu Yan ran up a few stairs curiously, looked up at her, "Sister, are you awake?"
Mingzhu remembered, it was that little girl.She touched her head and said softly, "Yes, my sister is awake. Thank you. What's your name."
"Sister, my name is Huangfuyan. What's your name?" She showed a bright smile.
"My name is Ye Mingzhu." Mingzhu also smiled, "Can you take my sister out. My sister must go home, otherwise, my sister's mother will look for her."
"Oh, okay. Then I'll take my sister out." Huangfuyan nodded sensiblely, and walked downstairs holding Mingzhu's hand.
The two walked up the spiral staircase and finally came to the lobby on the ground floor.Oncoming are fiery red roses, fragrant and charming.When the servants in the manor saw Huangfu Yan, they immediately bowed respectfully and shouted, "Miss."
Huangfu Yan waved to them, "Open the door."
"Yes!"
The gate opened slowly, and a blue car parked not far outside the castle.
Mingzhu let go of Huangfuyan's hand, and kissed her on the cheek, "Sister is leaving."
"Bye-Bye."
"Sister, wait a minute. Do you believe in the legend of the devil king?" Huangfuyan asked.
"I believe. My sister believes in all the impossible things in this world." Mingzhu hugged her lightly, and whispered in her ear, "If you meet, you must believe, he must be your destiny." She Let go of Huangfu Yan, smiled at her, and walked out of the castle slowly.
The azure car turned around and sped away.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the distant sky is connected into an empty and silent color.
On the top floor of a building, two figures suddenly flashed.The seven Canglang stars suddenly flashed in the night sky, and a beam of colorful light flashed in the sky, like a rainbow, and like a ladder to summon souls.After that, a black ray of light was left behind, exuding crystal clear and tiny crystals.
Those crystals floated in the air, floating around the two of them, fading away.
Suddenly, Mingzhu's long black hair reached down to her waist, and the flame pattern between her eyebrows came alive.Linglongyu was tied to her wrist with a red string, she stretched out her hand towards the air, and a sky-shattering scythe flashed in her palm.The blood-colored sky-shattering sickle glowed with scarlet light, the tip of the sickle was as cold as a cold moon, and the whole body was as silvery as snow.
She waved her hand, and the sky-shattering scythe disappeared without a trace.
"Master, I'll pick you up." You Ming bowed his head respectfully, his red hair fluttering in the air.
"Ye, the time has come. This is a fixed number, an unchangeable fixed number. You are destined to be hostile."
"Mom, I don't want to go back a thousand years later."
"Night!" the woman exclaimed angrily.
"Mom!" She stepped forward and hugged the woman, "Thank you, thank you for staying by my side."
"Don't you blame me." The woman sighed and hugged her back.Because he wanted to keep her, he blocked her love.He even lied to her that she was a test-tube baby and trained her to be a cold-blooded monster without emotion, but the facts proved that he failed in the end.Now her child still chooses to stay.
Mingzhu shook her head, "I love you, Mom."
"You have violated God's will and insisted on changing history. You will receive the most severe punishment. The gate of time and space will be closed soon, and it will never be opened again. Do you really want to stay?" The woman looked at her tenderly, and finally asked once.
"Yes, I will stay."
A cluster of flames burned in the air, burning the woman and the ghost, and then suddenly disappeared.
Mingzhu's body gradually turned transparent and scattered countless rays of light.
A gust of wind blew by, and there was no sign of anyone on the top floor of the building.
Wanxiang Building
In the air came the sound of singing, and the sound of merry-go-round laughter.
It was just noon, and he was already drunk.The Zizhu Pavilion surrounded by a large grove of purple bamboos looks elegant.It seems to be a piece of pure land, far away from the hustle and bustle of corruption.
In the inner room, Gongsun Qingming gently picked up the sleeping Mingzhu on the collapsed bed.Then he walked towards a big wooden box, bent slightly, and carefully placed her in the box.After cautiously looking at the ventilation holes around the box, he was sure that everything was safe, so he was relieved.
He stretched out his hand again to stroke the few strands of hair clinging to her face, and said warmly, "Mingzhu, it will be a little boring. Just bear with it."
Mingzhu closed her eyes, and the silence seemed to represent an answer.
Gongsun Qingming stood up, reached out and covered the box heavily.He glanced at the wooden box, turned around and walked outside, and told the boy, "Get the carriage, we are leaving."
"Okay, son!"
But after a while, Xiao Tong prepared the carriage and turned back.Accompanied by two big men.Just as the two big men were about to step forward to carry the box, Gongsun Qingming walked up to the big wooden box, pointed at it, and said in a deep voice, "Move this first. It's a valuable thing inside, don't touch it, be careful."
"Young master, please rest assured!" The two big men replied.
Immediately, a group of people walked slowly to the backyard, and several large wooden boxes were carried onto the carriage one after another.
Gongsun Qingming glanced at Xiaotong, who took out an ingot of gold to thank the two big men, "It will be troublesome later."
"I would like to listen to your son's orders." The two big men got a piece of gold with a little effort, and left happily.
"A Li, you stay here for the time being. A Chen, I will enter the palace and bid farewell to His Majesty. After I leave, you can drive away. Wait for me five miles outside the city." Gongsun Qingming took out a token from his waist and instructed, "This is His Majesty's token. When you leave the city, you just need to show this to the guards."
"Understood!" Achen took the token with both hands and nodded.
When Gongsun Qingming walked out of Wanxiang Tower, the two people who were watching around Wanxiang Tower followed behind.The three of them were April and May among the twelve cavalrymen. They thought that Gongsun Qingming would go to meet the princess, so they hurriedly followed.It's just that Gongsun Qingming unexpectedly entered the palace.
After Gongsun Qingming left, the little boy Achen drove out of the city in a carriage.
At the gate of the city, he took out the token and showed it to the guards, who immediately let him pass through.
※※※
Royal Palace
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Feng Zhanxiu was furious.
His rage was different from that of ordinary people, who roared like thunder, but he was as quiet as death.Just now, an order has been issued to search and arrest the whole city, not to let go of any place.If you can't find the imperial palace, then search all over the country. If you still can't find it, then he will kill all the way there and search the entire Nine Kingdoms continent!
"Your Majesty! Young Master Gongsun sees you!" The eunuch lowered his head and rushed to report.
"Xuan!"
"Mr. Xuangong and Sun Gongzi have an audience!"
Gongsun Qingming, dressed in white and elegant, walked into the hall.He walked to the center of the hall and stopped, then bowed and said, "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
Feng Zhanxiu clouded his handsome appearance, sitting high on the dragon chair and staring at the people coming.
"Your Majesty, I am here to bid farewell to Your Majesty." Gongsun Qingming's expression was the same, and he smiled warmly.
"It's really time to go." Feng Zhanxiu said sarcastically, each of them understood the meaning.
Gongsun Qingming played sloppy eyes, and explained slowly, "It was originally because of your majesty's big wedding, I wanted to come here to ask for a cup of wedding wine. But your majesty's marriage has been delayed again and again, and you have stayed in the capital for many days. Now you have to Go to the Northern Liao Kingdom to do business. The most important thing for a businessman is integrity, I..."
"Go quickly!" Feng Zhanxiu interrupted his long speech with a cold voice.
"I obey! Your Majesty, take your leave!"
After Gongsun Qingming left, the three cavalry who followed him back to the palace rushed into the palace one after another.
"Your Majesty! Your subordinates have not found the princess! Do you want to continue to monitor Gongsun Gongzi's whereabouts!" Si Yue bowed her head and pleaded.
Feng Zhanxiu was silent for a while, then suddenly stood up from the dragon chair.He strode out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, always worried about Gongsun Qingming.More likely, who is calling him, who is calling him to go.
Ever since, he followed behind again and followed Gongsun Qingming to Wanxiang Tower.
In the backyard of Wanxiang Tower, Gongsun Qingtian was ordering people to carry several large wooden boxes onto the carriage.
"Wait!" A deep male voice suddenly sounded.
Feng Zhanxiu walked in from outside the courtyard, and several cavalrymen behind him surrounded Gongsun Qingming, preventing him from having a chance to sneak attack.When Gongsun Qingming saw him, he was a little surprised, or not very surprised. He just said indifferently, "Your Majesty really cares about me. I have already submitted my resignation. Your Majesty will come to send me the next trip! I am so grateful!"
"Open the box!" Feng Zhanxiu glanced at Gongsun Qingming and glanced at several large boxes on the ground.
"What is His Majesty doing?"
"Open!"
"Yes!" Immediately, May opened the boxes one by one.
There are a few large boxes full, and inside the boxes are countless high-quality silks and satins, rare antiques, agate jadeite, calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, all of which are treasures among treasures without exception.
Feng Zhanxiu was not moved by these belongings, but suddenly seemed to have lost his mind and lost his mind.Mingzhu, where should he find her.
As the sun was setting, a carriage left the city.
In the gazebo five miles outside the city, another carriage has been waiting for a long time.The little boy Achen waved happily when he saw the person coming.When the two carriages met, Gongsun Qingming immediately ran into Ah Chen's carriage.He hurriedly opened the big box, Mingzhu was still sleeping peacefully.He breathed a sigh of relief, and directed to the two boys, "Go back to Bixia Villa!"
The carriage rattled forward, and inside the carriage, Gongsun Qingming released Mingzhu's sleeping hole.
Mingzhu opened her eyes sleepily, and rubbed them in a daze.
"Mingzhu, are you awake?" Gongsun Qingming said happily as he held her in his arms.
"Who are you?" She blinked innocently, looking at him like a stranger.
Gongsun Qingming panicked, "Mingzhu? Don't you remember me?"
three years later
The king of war raised his troops to fight in all directions, and the Shengxin dynasty entered the most powerful and prosperous age since the king of war became emperor.And the King of War even swore an oath that he would definitely become a dynasty for the whole world.Now that the situation is tense, the remaining five countries have united as allies to resist the invasion|occupation of the King of War with all their strength.
The flames of war temporarily subsided, and the Northern Liao Kingdom, the Great Shang Kingdom, and the Yeyue Kingdom paid tribute to the Shengxin Dynasty with rare treasures and bowed their heads to the Shengxin Dynasty.
Of course, this also includes countless women.
Rumor has it that these women were all looking for according to the portrait given by the King of War.No matter the forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, or lips, even if there is only a little resemblance, all must be shown to the subordinates of the King of War.The subordinates who read are the famous Twelve Cavalrymen, the most elite soldiers of the King of War.
Strangely enough, none of these women were left behind.
At this moment, in the hall where the Shengxin Dynasty drafted, the twelve cavalrymen were so tired that they were about to lie down.I think when the 12 of them fought with Wang Nanzheng and Beibei, when did they cry out that they were tired?But now, they couldn't bear it anymore.The girls collectively lay down on the table, motionless, and didn't even have the strength to open their eyes.
"It's more tiring than fighting!"
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
Somebody muttered unbearably, and all the girls echoed.
Jiuyue raised her head, looked at the stack of lists in her hand, and shook her head indifferently, "I said, are those people crazy? They don't look alike at all, how could they be selected? What's more exaggerated is , that woman just now is so fat! How can our princess be so fat!"
September said and made a gesture.
The third child waved his hands, and quickly interjected, "What is this! The woman I saw just now had cross-eyed eyes! I don't understand why the portrait of our princess has cross-eyed eyes! The princess's eyes are so beautiful It's big and bright like a black gem!"
"Hey! This is not outrageous! The one who was limping just now, according to the note in the booklet, is the daughter of a high-ranking official."
"Ah?" The girls were speechless and fell down again.
The sky outside the hall is so blue, and the weather is so warm, you should sleep.But, but, but outside this hall, there are countless women waiting for them to "check and pass"!Are they all crazy?Although His Majesty is indeed handsome and immaculate, and mighty and extraordinary, but there is no need to be like this, right?
"How much more?" Xiao Yaomei asked in December.
The eunuch looked at the list in his hand, and immediately replied, "My lord, there are still 700 people."
"700 people?" How come there are so many!
By the time they finish watching, it will be almost dark.

Qianning Palace
Since Pingle Palace caught fire three years ago, Murong Feixue lived in Qianning Palace and lived in seclusion.Naturally, she couldn't afford any disturbances.And in the past three years, Feng Zhanxiu has been fighting outside all year round, and he doesn't come back often.
The days when she met him were pitifully numbered.
It is rare to go back to the palace once, and I will not come to visit her.
Just ordering Yun Ni to send some things, it can be regarded as a filial piety.
Murong Feixue naturally knew that he was still blaming himself for ordering someone to set fire back then.It's just that things have changed. When a person dies, he is dead. Why should he go to war like this.Moreover, that woman is a descendant of Daxing, the daughter of the enemy who killed the former king, and she must not be kept.For various reasons, she never regretted her decision.
I'm afraid that if the time is longer, he will be able to understand her painstaking efforts.
"Empress Dowager, Guard Yun, please see me!" A court lady rushed into the palace and said softly.
Murong Feixue was sitting in the hall, playing chess alone.White in one hand and black in the other.Hearing the maid's reply, she said slowly, "Let her in!"
"Yes!" The maid immediately left the palace, and then Yun Ni walked in.
Yun Ni was the same as three years ago, without much change.She is still very heroic, calm and calm, but she has a bit of Feng Zhanxiu's calm posture.I am afraid that whichever master you follow, your heart will change accordingly.Yun Ni walked to the center of the hall, bowed and said, "The Queen Mother is a thousand years old! Your Majesty ordered his subordinates to send gifts!"
Yun Ni walked aside, and the palace maids who followed immediately lined up one by one.
"This is Baishan long ginseng, thousand-year-old snow lotus, jade ruyi, red coral and amethyst. The two boxes here are full of precious medicinal materials. If the empress dowager is weak and cold, she can naturally take it." Yun Ni said softly , "The subordinate has finished reporting, please take a look at the empress dowager."
Murong Feixue waved her hand casually without even looking at it.
The maids bowed their heads and stepped back.
Yun Ni bowed slightly, and also turned around to leave, Murong Feixue said again, "Guardian Yun, how are you doing lately."
"The subordinates are terrified. The empress dowager can still call the subordinates by their names." Yun Ni immediately stopped.
"How is the Ai family qualified? You are His Majesty's guard, not the Ai family's guard." Murong Feixue picked up the sunspots and looked at the chess game, "Let's play this game with the Ai family. It is really boring to play alone. .”
"Empress Dowager! This subordinate has to go back and return!"
Murong Feixue put down the sunspot, and turned to look at her.I saw that her whole body was thinner than the last time I saw her, and there was a cut on her cheek, which was obviously a war wound.She sneered, "Some people are really weird. It's not appropriate to let the queen go, but they want to be guards."
"Subordinates should be like this." Yun Ni was neither humble nor overbearing.
"Stand back!" Murong Feixue withdrew her gaze, her expression indifferent.
"Yes!" Yun Ni walked out of Qianning Palace smoothly.
Murong Feixue was so angry that she reached out her hand and threw the half-played chess game to the ground.
"Empress Dowager!" The maid was so frightened that she knelt down and bowed to the ground.
Outside Qianning Palace, there was a person waiting.
Yun Ni looked up and saw a figure in Tsing Yi.She walked up to him, and they walked side by side.Yun Ni turned her head and glanced at him, then said softly, "Why are you here?"
"Just fine." Zhongli's reason was a bit far-fetched.
"Master went to Liangyi Palace again?"
Zhongli nodded, Yun Ni stopped making a sound.How time flies, Xiao Xuanyi is already four years old.
However, the princess still has no sound training.
In the Liangyi Hall, several princesses from the former Daxing Dynasty lived.The young princesses have grown up and become young girls.The steward of Liangyi Hall is Eunuch De, the chief eunuch of the former dynasty, who is responsible for taking care of the little princesses.Of course, there are also former empress Liu Shuiyao and the children of Liu Shuiyao and Emperor Xiao.
Xiao Xuanyi is four years old.
His eyes are very similar to Dong Xiaotian, with delicate features, he must be a handsome boy when he grows up.It's just that this temperament is probably like Liu Shuiyao's, it's really naughty.He couldn't calm down at all, playing with this princess sister for a while, and playing with that princess sister for a while.
No, I said I was going to catch fish earlier, but I went to climb a tree in the blink of an eye.
"Eunuch De! It's not good, Xuan Yi won't be able to get down after climbing the tree!" Several little princesses rushed in and said hurriedly.
"Hush!" Eunuch De gestured, and then pointed to Liu Shuiyao on the recliner.
Liu Shuiyao just drank the medicine and just fell asleep.
She has been blind for three years, and has been insane.Whenever I hear the word "Xuan Yi", I wake up with a start and become anxious about gains and losses.So many times, if Xiao Xuanyi was mischievous, or suddenly disappeared, they would never mention it in front of Liu Shuiyao.
Eunuch De was immediately led by several little princesses, and walked out of the palace.
In the courtyard at the back of Liangyi Hall, there is a towering tree.It takes five people holding hands to encircle the trunk of the big tree, and the trunk is even thicker.As soon as the group ran into the yard, they heard Xiao Xuanyi's crying. Xiao Xuanyi hugged the tree trunk and shouted, "Eunuch De, save me. Sister, help me."
"Xuan Yi! Oh! My little ancestor!" Seeing this, Eunuch De was so frightened that he became dizzy.
How did he climb such a tall tree?That's good, once you climb up, you can't get down!
Several little princesses stood under the tree, looked at him worriedly, and reminded him from time to time, "Xuan Yi, hold on tightly, don't let go! I've gone to call someone, and there will be guards coming to rescue you soon!"
"Sister! Father-in-law! My hands are about to lose strength." Xiao Xuanyi sniffed, feeling a little pitiful.Suddenly, a bug crawled up the trunk in front of him.Xiao Xuanyi immediately wrinkled his small face and yelled unbearably, "Help! I hate bugs the most! Help!"
He cried and yelled, with his arms around the tree trunk, his body leaned forward, and his whole body was on the verge of falling.
"Ah!" Everyone yelled in horror and rushed to pick it up.
Xiao Xuanyi fell from the tree trunk and closed her eyes in fear.
At this time, a black figure flew through the air like the wind.Before everyone saw who was coming, Xiao Xuanyi was already hugged by that black figure, and landed safely on the ground in the blink of an eye.After everyone came back to their senses, they immediately bowed down tremblingly, "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
Feng Zhanxiu was heroic, his bright black eyes swept across the crowd, "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone got up again.
Xiao Xuanyi hugged Feng Zhanxiu's thigh, still in shock.
Feng Zhanxiu lowered his head to look at him, and the original calm handsome face was filled with a faint mist.He let go of Xiao Xuanyi's hand calmly, and said in a deep voice, "How can a dignified man be afraid of a bug? I will give you three days to catch a hundred bugs. After three days, I will come to inspect and accept them!" "
"Don't!" Xiao Xuanyi pursed his mouth, too stubborn to cry, "I hate bugs!"
"If you don't want it, you have to!" Feng Zhanxiu shouted coldly, turning around without looking back.
Xiao Xuanyi took a step to catch up with him, and grabbed the hem of his clothes.Feng Zhanxiu's eyes were chilling, he just glanced at him.Everyone was trembling with fright, but Xiao Xuanyi was not afraid of his coldness at all. He raised his face and bargained, "Three days is too little time, I can't catch more than a hundred bugs."
I don't know what's wrong, but he is not afraid of this majesty who everyone regards as scary.
Feng Zhanxiu waved his little hand away, and looked at everyone again, "Listen well, whoever dares to help him will be punished severely by this king!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Everyone quickly echoed.
Xiao Xuanyi stomped his feet and shouted, "But I really have to complain! Can't you just give me another day!"
"By the way." Feng Zhanxiu took a few steps forward, turned his head and added, "I forgot to tell you that today is included in these three days!"
ah?Xiao Xuanyi drooped his head, looking like he wanted to cry but had no tears.
Seeing this situation, everyone couldn't help laughing.There are times when the little magic star can be tamed!
※※※
In the sleeping hall of Liangyi Hall, Liu Shuiyao was still sleeping peacefully on the recliner.
She covered her eyes with a black cloth, because her eyes were red and swollen after crying and went blind, and she was afraid of frightening Xiao Xuanyi, so she covered her eyes with a black cloth.This mask has been covered for many years and has never been taken off.Xiao Xuanyi once secretly took off the black cloth and cried all of a sudden.Then I never dared to reveal it again.
Feng Zhanxiu walked into the bedroom quietly, and walked in front of her silently.Just staring at her for a long time, Liu Shuiyao could not wake up.After a while, he walked out of the bedroom as silently as when he came.
"Oh! Don't stop me! I'm going to catch bugs!" Xuan Yi roared like a little adult from a distance.
Feng Zhanxiu stopped involuntarily and closed his eyes.
"Your Majesty!" Eunuch De walked behind him and shouted heavily.
Feng Zhanxiu glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and turned around slowly.
Eunuch De bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty loves Xuan Yi very much."
"Love him?" Feng Zhanxiu snorted coldly, seeming to be very disdainful.With a gloomy tone, he said casually, "This king just thinks that life is too boring. Isn't it very interesting to raise the son of the enemy?"
Hearing what he said, Eunuch De said softly, "Your Majesty, he is also your relative."
"Dear ones? This king never needs it." Feng Zhanxiu narrowed his eyes and stopped here.
Eunuch De looked at his back as he hurried away, and sighed.
Feng Zhanxiu was the son of King Ao and Princess Qin back then, he didn't expect that he didn't die, but survived.
I'm afraid this is all God's will, and it has already been doomed in the dark.
After the scorching heat of summer, the evening wind blows on people's bodies, refreshing.
It’s October again, the Mid-Autumn Festival in October, when the moon is full, people should be full too.The palace is full of lanterns to welcome the annual reunion festival.The full moon is in the sky, very bright, and the moonlight is cold, shining on people like silver.
In the gazebo in the Imperial Garden, Feng Zhanxiu dispersed the eunuchs and maids, as well as Zhongli and Yun Ni.
He was left alone, drinking a glass of wine quietly and watching the moon quietly.
Suddenly, a small figure swiftly rushed into the empty imperial garden.
By the moonlight, I saw the little figure.
It was Xiao Xuanyi.
Xiao Xuanyi was wearing a white brocade robe, which really looked like Dong Xiaotian's childhood appearance.Holding a wooden box in his hand, he happily ran into the gazebo.He was out of breath, raised a joyful smile, and said proudly, "Your Majesty, I have already caught a hundred bugs! Exactly three days!"
"Oh?" Feng Zhanxiu asked suspiciously, as if he didn't believe it.
Xiao Xuanyi immediately put down the wooden box and opened the lid.The box is full of small caterpillars, and the wriggling looks are a bit disgusting, which will make people's skin crawl.Xiao Xuanyi was no longer afraid, he reached out and grabbed one, and quickly closed the lid of the box.He stood up straight, and grabbed the caterpillar in front of Feng Zhanxiu.
"Your Majesty, look." Xiao Xuanyi's face was innocent and fearless.
Feng Zhanxiu took a sip of his wine and put down his glass, "I saw it."
Xiao Xuanyi casually threw the little caterpillar to the grass, put his hands on his hips and said mightily, "I'm very powerful."
Feng Zhanxiu was silent.
"Your Majesty!" Xiao Xuanyi leaned close to Feng Zhanxiu, put his arms around his wrist, and said coquettishly, "I heard from the princess sister that there is a Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"So what." Feng Zhanxiu's expression was always calm and calm.
Xiao Xuanyi simply stuck to him, and said affectionately, "I want to see it. Will you? Your Majesty will take me to see it?"
"Why did the king take you there?"
"Uh..." Xiao Xuanyi pointed to the wooden box on the ground and said brazenly, "Take it as a reward. Your Majesty asked me to catch a hundred bugs. If I complete the task, it's a reward."
Feng Zhanxiu glanced at him coldly, and said four words in a deep voice, "I won't go."
"If you don't go, you won't go." Xiao Xuanyi let go of his hand, seemingly in infinite disappointment, picked up the small wooden box and walked out of the imperial garden with loose shoulders.It's just that he didn't take a few steps, when someone behind him rushed to him, stretched out his wrist and pulled him up.The tall and straight figure flew up to the eaves of the palace in the blink of an eye, and ran towards the outside of the palace.
"Wow--"
※※※
Ducheng Avenue, a whole street full of lantern festivals.
Men, women, young and old brought their families with them. The adults were in high spirits, and the children cheered even more.Lantern Festival, guessing riddles, beautiful acrobatics, and delicious pastries.The ears are filled with the yelling of small merchants and peddlers, and there are clusters of colorful lights in front of my eyes.This is something that you don't usually see, but today you've bumped into it all.
At the end of the endless crowd, two figures flashed one behind the other.
"Small……"
Oh yes, the lady is disguised as a man!I have to change my mouth!
"Master, wait for us." Ah Chen and Ah Li chased for several blocks, really admiring the young lady's physical strength.
The young man in white, who was watching the goldfish fishing in front of him, did not turn his head, and stared at the goldfish booth without blinking his eyes as black as black jewels.She stretched out her hand to beckon, and shouted excitedly, "Ah Chen! Ah Li! Come and take a look! What a beautiful fish! This is even more beautiful than the fish on our island!"
Ah Chen and Ah Li ran to her side, and said dissatisfiedly, "Master, how can this goldfish be prettier than ours!"
"It's obviously good-looking! You have to be honest, you know!" Mingzhu patted the heads of the two and stood up.She looked around cleverly again, her thin figure squeezed into the crowd like a fish.Even though the two followers behind her shouted and begged for mercy, she still had fun.
"Master! Let's go back! Young master is coming back from doing business in Chu Qi Kingdom soon!"
"That's right! If the young master finds out that we didn't stay on the island peacefully, the young master will definitely be angry!"
"Master, shall we go back tomorrow?"
"Yes, I'll be back tomorrow!"
The two of you said one sentence to me, and the coordination was seamless.
Mingzhu couldn't take it anymore and covered her ears, shaking her head again and again.
Seeing that the mouths of the two were no longer opening and closing, she let go of her hand, raised her eyebrows and looked at Ah Chen, then glanced at Ah Li, and said angrily, "Don't be so disappointing, okay! It's rare for us to slip away." Come out once, it’s too bad not to have a good time.”
"A Li, I want candied haws! Ah Chen, I want that lantern!"
Mingzhu pointed to the left and right with both hands, and the two of them said "hey" helplessly, and went to buy candied haws and lanterns.
There are flickering lanterns ahead, faintly like sparks guiding people home.A crowd of black crows drowned her thin figure.Ah Chen and Ah Li followed behind her, staring at the young lady intently, for fear of getting separated.If they get separated, they are finished.
Although it is rare for the young master to get angry, once he gets angry, it is still very scary.
The figures of the three disappeared into the crowd, and then two figures, one large and one small, suddenly appeared.
Xiao Xuanyi tugged at the corner of Feng Zhanxiu's clothes, looking around from time to time, like a curious baby.Feng Zhanxiu was expressionless, but the awe-inspiring aura made everyone feel an inexplicable chill, so he stepped aside consciously.Suddenly, there was a cry in the air, which seemed to be far away.
This familiar voice...
Feng Zhanxiu stared openly, and suddenly glanced around.A pair of eagle eyes searched for something in the crowd, and his expression suddenly became blank.
And that person seemed to be in a dimly lit place, but he couldn't see him when he looked back.
Pearl, could it be you?
"Your Majesty..." Xiao Xuanyi turned his head and shouted, looking at the crowded crowd ahead.But seeing Feng Zhanxiu cast a cold glance again, he hastily stopped talking.Ahhh, now that I'm out of the palace, I can't call it that.But what should he call His Majesty?After thinking about it, he changed his voice and shouted, "Uncle Huang."
Feng Zhanxiu was still cold, and his eagle eyes looked at the crowd of black crows loosely.
"Uncle Huang!" Seeing that he didn't give him any cold eyes, Xiao Xuanyi immediately understood that he accepted the title.He happily tugged on Feng Zhanxiu's sleeves, and stretched his fingers forward, "Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang, I'm going to have a look there."
Feng Zhanxiu didn't have the slightest interest in it, and was even more bored.He has always hated crowded places, and he also hated noisy places.Just caught a glimpse of a certain bright little face from the corner of the eye, he unconsciously started walking towards the crowd.The tall and straight body, handsome and charming appearance, can't help but make people look sideways.
"Hey? This young man is so handsome."
