concubine auspicious
Chapter 80 Part 1
Chapter 80
The light rain fell all over the sky.
"Tat-tat-tat--" Two horses walked on the path, and the rain soaked their clothes.
Xia'er saw a temple not far away, and hurriedly said, "Master, let's go there to shelter from the rain!"
Mingzhu nodded, "Good!"
The two rushed to the temple immediately, Xia'er split the wooden chairs and set up a bonfire.Mingzhu sat on the ground, staring at the fire in a daze, but she was thinking deeply.Seeing her like this, Xia'er couldn't help muttering, "Master! You obviously can't let the prince go, why are you leaving! Why don't we go back and find the prince."
Mingzhu didn't speak, but just thought of what to do if he was all alone and alone.
"Xia'er, is there any silver in the lord's bag?" She asked anxiously.
"I put it away, I put a lot of banknotes! It's completely enough and more than enough!" Xia'er shouted, pulling up her sleeves and wiping the rainwater from her face, "Master, don't worry, I will take someone with me when I arrived in the town yesterday. The letter has returned to the palace. The Twelve Cavalry received the letter today and will definitely go to meet the prince."
Mingzhu nodded, as if she felt relieved.
"Master, where are we going now?" Xia Er asked again.
Mingzhu thought for a moment, but she had no direction.After being bored for a while, he said in a daze, "I don't know either."
"Princess, please follow me back to Nanchang Kingdom." The deep male voice sounded suddenly, which surprised the two of them.
Mingzhu suddenly raised her head and saw a tall figure standing in front of the temple.She looked from bottom to top, met the man's face, was surprised again, and said softly, "Everyone...all away? Why are you?"
"Guards?" Xia'er was stunned at the same time, never expecting him to appear at this time.
Could it be that he followed them all the way?
Thinking of this, Xia'er hurriedly used her body to protect her and stood in front of Mingzhu, "What do you want to do!"
"Princess, please follow me back to Nanchang Kingdom." Although Zhongli remained calm, a hint of paleness appeared on his resolute face, and Yintang's black air was heavier than it was a month ago.He repeated the sentence just now, but when he reached the last word, his voice froze and became weak.
Seeing that his expression was not right, Mingzhu asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhongli remained silent and walked towards her.
"Don't come here!" Xia'er roared, taking out a dagger to defend.
"Get out of the way!" Zhong Li shouted in a deep voice, he was about to reach out to grab someone, but the pain in his body made him fall to the ground.Sweat oozes out in an instant, and his face turns blue and white.The color of his lips also began to turn purple. He wailed in pain, curled up on the ground, and suddenly hit his head against the wall.
But in his arms, he saw a black shadow rapidly flowing along the blood vessels.
Xia'er turned pale with fright, and shouted in panic, "What is that!"
"He may have been bewitched!" Mingzhu recalled what happened when time travel possessed Zhu'er, but she couldn't be sure, so she said thoughtfully.
"Gu?" Hearing her say that, Xia'er quickly thought of that horrible wriggling bug.There was a burst of numbness all over the body, and even the scalp became numb.She hurriedly hugged Mingzhu, wanting to take her away from this place, "Master, let's go quickly! It's too scary!"
It could be said that Zhong Li could not live but could not die, he pulled out his knife in pain, and stabbed the Gu worm that was running around in his body with the knife in a panic.Blood spurted out, but the Gu worm was not stabbed to death.He could not afford to crawl on the ground, and tried to overcome it with willpower, but he was about to suffocate even for breathing.
"How could this be..." Xia'er murmured fearfully.
After a lot of painful tossing, Zhongli finally calmed down.
He had no strength left, and leaned against the wall weakly, his face was pale, and his lips were purple.
"Xia'er, give me the kettle." Mingzhu said softly.
Xia'er stopped her worriedly, staring at Zhongli who fell on the ground, "Master! He's got that kind of Gu, don't go over there! We'd better leave quickly, he will hurt you! He said just now that he would take you to Nanchang Kingdom , I heard that he was a spy before, but now it seems to be true."
Zhongli was closing his eyes to calm his breath, when he heard what she said, he just ignored her in silence.
Mingzhu patted the back of her hand lightly as a comfort.
Xia'er had no choice but to take out the water bottle from the bag and hand it to her.Mingzhu took the kettle and walked in front of Zhongli, pulled off the lid of the kettle, and handed it over, "Drink some."
Zhong Li slowly opened his eyes, looked at the calm face in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Why should the princess save me, I'm a spy, and I'm here to catch you."
"I'll save you, that's my business." Mingzhu grabbed his hand and forced the water bottle into his hand.
Zhongli was unbearably thirsty, grabbed the water bottle and raised his head to drink water.After drinking water, I felt better.
"Who played Gu on you, tell me." Mingzhu asked softly.
Zhongli half-opened his eyes, already very tired.He didn't have the strength to get up, but said in a deep voice, "I don't need you to save me, even if you do, I won't be grateful to you."
"I don't need your gratitude." Mingzhu said lightly, then slowly, "Unless you don't want to see her again."
Mingzhu didn't point to the point, but Zhongli already understood when he heard it.Yun Ni... Her vague face appeared in his mind, the cold expression changed slightly, and a cluster of light ignited in his eyes.After a long time, he said eagerly, "I hope the princess will save her life."
"I can't save her." Mingzhu raised the corners of her lips as she said.
Zhongli's eyes dimmed, but she heard her say again, "But...someone can save her, and you."
"Xia'er, go to the nearby village to see if there is a carriage!"
"Yes!"
Xia'er found an ox cart and replaced it with two horses, and the two worked together to help Zhong Li onto the cart.Xia'er drove back towards the capital.It is not far from the capital, and it will take a few hours to arrive.
Zhongli lay on the carriage and asked in confusion, "Princess, why are you..."
"I have conditions." Mingzhu said with a smile, "If you are not dead, then everything will go back to the past."
Zhongli was startled, secretly thinking about her words.Everything went back to the past, he was still that Zhongli, and she was still that Yun Ni.Does the princess want them to return to the King of War?Zhong Li squinted his eyes and looked at her, with two thick eyebrows knit together, his confusion became more and more serious, "If that's the case, why did the concubine leave?"
After he secretly returned to the capital, he observed in secret.Unexpectedly, the three of them actually left the palace, and Zhan Wang even left behind the twelve cavalry.Although the King of War is difficult to deal with alone, the situation is obviously in his favour. Without the Twelve Cavalry, he has much fewer people to deal with.
He followed them and came to the small town.
But in the middle of the night, he saw her and Xia Er riding away on horseback.He didn't know what happened, but in order to return quickly, he had to follow behind the two of them.He was also afraid that the King of War would catch up at any time, so he didn't dare to act lightly, fearing that this would be a game.
It wasn't until dawn that he decided to make a move.
It's just that the Gu worm in the body actually broke out.
The smile on Mingzhu's face faded away, and she just said lightly, "Too tired."
Zhongli closed his eyes, and the rain occasionally fell on his face, making it moist little by little.
He moved his lips, but his eyes gradually became moist, and said in a deep voice, "Actually... Hongdi was not killed by Zhan Wang."
"That day was Emperor Xiao's wedding. The day before the wedding, King Zhan did order me to assassinate Emperor Hong. But on the day of the wedding, he suddenly changed his mind. But I went anyway. I had to kill Emperor Hong. Ye After I got deep, I sneaked into the palace and went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. When I arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, I saw the prince rushing into the palace."
"I knew I might not be able to move tonight, so I was in a hurry to leave, but I bumped into Fu Rong."
"The next day, Hongdi still died."
Zhongli's voice was very deep, everything was so clear, just like yesterday.
When Mingzhu heard what he said, the knot in her heart that had already faded resurfaced again. She grabbed the handle of the umbrella and said softly, "The past is over, don't mention it again."
"The Gu worm in my body is about to reach its deadline, and I won't live long. If I don't say it, I'm afraid I won't be able to die in peace." Zhongli said slowly, his brows suddenly relaxed, and the corner of his mouth raised a curve, "Say it now Forget it, let’s forget about one thing.”
The rain was pattering on the ground, as if someone was crying sadly, and the sobbing sound was faint.
Mingzhu was slightly in a trance, watching the rainwater fall one by one, feeling lonely in her heart.

Miyakonojo
Prime Minister's Mansion
The carriage stopped in front of the mansion, and the guards saw a man and a woman holding an umbrella lying on the carriage.The umbrella was pressed a little low, blocking the line of sight, and the guard couldn't see the person coming, so he shouted, "Who is it!"
"Don't you recognize the princess?" Xia'er jumped off the carriage and hurried to help Mingzhu.
Only then did the guards see the person coming, and immediately bowed and shouted, "Princess, forgive me!"
"Is the prime minister in the mansion?" Mingzhu asked anxiously.
"My lord is in the mansion!" The guard replied.
Mingzhu was overjoyed and ordered, "Help him in quickly for me!"
Mingzhu immediately rushed into the prime minister's mansion, and Gongsun Qingming was also notified by his servants to meet in the hall.When Gongsun Qingming saw her, he was delighted and then surprised and asked, "Mingzhu, why are you back? As the saying goes, if you don't see her every day, it's like three autumns. Could it be that you miss your elder brother so much?" That's it!Started to be silly again!
"Brother, human life is important!" Ming Zhu said sternly before she had time to reminisce.
When Gongsun Qingming heard her say that, he immediately restrained his smile.He looked over and saw two guards helping a man into the hall.He approached and took a closer look, and said suspiciously, "All away?"
Zhongli's whole body felt like being pricked by needles, but he didn't even have the strength to continue to struggle against the pain.
Half a year, the deadline of half a year is coming soon...
"Send him to the wing room!" Gongsun Qingming immediately ordered the guards to send everyone to the wing room, while he and Mingzhu followed.When he came to the wing room, he asked the two children, A Li and A Chen, to fetch the medicine box and golden needles.While administering the needles, he examined his condition.
Mingzhu stood on the edge of the bed and asked softly, "Brother, how is he?"
"Gu poison." Gongsun Qingming spat out two words heavily, with a dignified expression, not like before.
"Is there a way to cure it?" Ming Zhu noticed his strangeness, but still asked.
Gongsun Qingming pierced another golden needle, staring at Zhongli's wrist that had been gnawed into the bone marrow, and said in a deep voice, "The poison has penetrated into the bone marrow, and even gods can't save it. Besides, this Gu worm was specially cultivated by my adoptive father, but The adoptive father is no longer alive. Now even if we want to study the anti-gu poison, it will take a month at the shortest."
"But he won't live for three days." He sighed, but clenched his fists bitterly.
Mingzhu looked at Zhongli blankly, but he smiled peacefully and said lightly, "I don't regret my death, I hope the princess and Gongsun Gongzi promise me two things."
"Tell me." Gongsun Qingming promised.
"Yun Ni was poisoned by the same poison as me. She still has time, I hope Mr. Gongsun will save her life." Zhong Li spoke slowly, turned his eyes to Mingzhu, and said again, "Princess, please tell her, I hope...she will marry a good man and live a happy life."
Mingzhu and Gongsun Qingming were silent and could only nod in agreement.
"Princess, I have something I want to chat with Gongsun Gongzi in private." Zhongli looked at Gongsun Qingming again.
"Okay." Mingzhu replied, turned around and left the room.
After the person left, Zhongli struggled to get up, Gongsun Qingming wanted to help him, but he stopped him.Zhongli got off the bed, knelt down in front of him, and said sincerely, "There is still one thing about Zhongli that you don't want to ask. The villain still has a mother in Nanchang, and I hope that Gongsun Gongzi will protect her for half of her life."
Although he didn't know the relationship between Gongsun Qingming and Her Majesty the Empress, he knew that Gongsun Qingming must have this ability!
Gongsun Qingming took out the jade fan from his waist and put his hands in front of him, "Return it to its original owner."
"Please, son, give it to mother for me!" Zhongli asked tremblingly.
"Drive—" the woman's voice sounded clear.
"Sister, it's the town ahead!" A companion shouted from behind.
After receiving the letter, the twelve cavalry rushed over without stopping.Although the letter was not signed, they were sure that it must have been sent by the concubine.It's just why they were asked to come to the town to meet the prince?Didn't they travel together?Vaguely, there is a bad feeling.
Twelve cavalrymen rushed into the inn immediately. The shopkeeper saw the guests and hurriedly greeted them, "Girls, do you want to eat or beat the tip?"
"Shopkeeper, let me ask you if a young master and a young lady came to lodge yesterday?"
"A young master and a young lady?" The shopkeeper murmured suspiciously while thinking.
"That lady brought a little maid with her!"
"The young master looks very handsome!"
"That young lady has big and beautiful eyes!"
As soon as January opened her mouth, all the girls added a bunch of them again.
When the shopkeeper heard what they said, he suddenly realized.He also took out a bundle from under the counter and put it on the counter, "Girls, the young master and young lady suddenly disappeared this morning, together with the maid. There are two missing horses in the backyard, and the I kept one. It’s a bundle in a room, and I haven’t touched a penny of the silver in it.”
When the girls heard this, their hearts skipped a beat.
"Don't be afraid, shopkeeper, we just want to find out where they are going." January said nicely.
The shopkeeper shook his head and said awkwardly, "I really don't know."
The girls glanced at each other, stopped lingering, and rushed out of the inn.
Behind him, the shopkeeper shouted, "Girl, this bag and that horse..."
The horseshoes started, and the 12 people had already rode away.
"Every group of three, go find them separately! After ten days, regardless of whether the master is found or not, the palace will gather!" Without hesitation, January ordered immediately.
The girls nodded to her and said, "Yes!"
The twelve cavalrymen turned around and went looking for the whereabouts of the prince and princess. The sky and the earth are vast, but the sea of people is vast, where can they be found?But that letter made them feel more and more uneasy, as if something happened.
Just, where did they go?
As Gongsun Qingming said, Zhongli only lived for three days, and then his seven orifices bleed.When he died, it was horrible.But he was very peaceful, and he was still holding something in his hand, holding it firmly.After his death, Gongsun Qingming captured the Gu poison in his body to study the gram.
Mingzhu let go of his hand, only to see a packet of gouache in his palm.
And there are only a few numbers on the paper bag - being in the same body with the king, this life wish is enough.
Another seven days later, it was the day of burial.
In the dead of night, Mingzhu came to the mourning hall to pray for everyone.The moment the sky-shattering scythe aroused his soul, the transparent crystal ball suddenly floated on the scythe.A faint light surrounded Mingzhu's body, and she felt a little sad.When the hands are empty, the soul returns to the next reincarnation, and after a thousand years, it will continue in the end.

All Lies—Guard of the King of War, carefully crafted by Nanchang Kingdom.
My mother told me more than once that I was originally born in a famous family.That is a big family in a country, enough for people to look up to.My grandfather was very talented and powerful, and so was my father, deeply in his heritage.But in my memory, the images of my grandfather and my father are too vague, so blurry that I can't remember them no matter how I think about them.
In the end, only a faint outline remains.
Only vaguely, I can still recall my father's smile.And my father's smile makes me feel that I am the happiest child in the world.
So my mother reminded me all the time, she said, Qi Zheng, you must avenge your grandfather and father, and the entire Qi family.
revenge?what is that?I didn't understand it at the time, I just felt that it was something very, very far away from me.
But later, when I became Zhongli instead of Qi Zheng, I finally understood what my mother said.It turns out that revenge means killing and being killed. It is like an endless cycle, but there is only one result. If I don't kill others, others will come to kill me.
Zhongli, Zhongli, I finally understand why my mother gave me such a name.
A killer doesn't need feelings, and only by betraying relatives can he become the best killer.
How can a killer need love?
So, from the moment I became a member of the public, my mother refused to see me again.She still didn't see me until the day I left Nanchang on a mission.When I turned around, I heard the door open, but I didn't look back.I'm afraid that when I look back, I don't want to leave.
I was even more afraid that when I turned around, I would see my mother's disappointed expression on me.
How can I let her down?
I must not let her down!
I just want to kill Hongdi, the one who killed my whole family.So I finally came to the Daxing Dynasty, finally started my revenge, and finally approached the King of War and became his most capable subordinate.That was the first time we met, he looked at me with cold eyes.There was a little girl standing beside him.
She is Yun Ni, and she is the confidant of the King of War.
But she never spoke a word to me, and I rarely took the initiative to talk to her.
Until one mission, which was a dangerous operation, we faced countless killers, but we were almost killed.At the last moment, she insisted on risking her life to advance and retreat with me.In the end, he blocked a knife for me and almost killed me.When I came back alive, I asked her why she didn't go by herself.She said that we are companions and should not leave each other behind.
companion.
Where is a companion, in fact, it is just a coincident time, met a person, and he is just a secret.
However, my heart was still touched so much that I even forgot that I was an elaborator.
Don't leave the other party behind...how good.I remember what she said.
I care about her, she cares about her, and she cares about a person who cares about a person.
I knew from beginning to end that that person was not me, and never was me.
That person is her master, a man who is arrogant in this world, she is so stupid.
I have known her for more than ten years, and only sent a pack of water powder.
In a life, the happiest thing is probably the few words she wrote down - being in the same body with the king, this life's wish is enough.
Unfortunately, that person is still not me.
I once promised her that after returning home smoothly, I would tell her a word.But now I'm afraid I'm going to break my promise, and I hope she won't blame me.I didn't tell her before I left, because I was afraid that she would never forget me in the future, and she should find someone who is better and more responsible than me.That's right.
In fact, I want to tell her that I have always liked her.
In the next life, don't you know if there is a chance?
Zhongli finally went to rest in the ground, and on that hillside was his resting soul.
Mingzhu and Gongsun Qingming stood in front of the tombstone, silent for a long time.
"Let's go." Gongsun Qingming said slowly, the male voice was deep and long.He took a step forward and walked down the hillside.
Mingzhu turned her head to look at his receding back, and couldn't help asking softly, "Qingming, who are you?" Zhongli's soul made her suspicious, as if Zhongli, no, it should be Qi Zheng. The descendant whose whole family was wiped out by Emperor Hong.If Qi Zheng is the one, then who is he?
Gongsun Qingming couldn't help but stop, but he didn't look back, nor did he respond.
Mingzhu waited patiently, and finally heard him say, "I won't do anything to hurt you, just remember it."
Mingzhu walked up to him, and he smiled back at her.Gongsun Qing knew how gentle her fair and handsome face was. He stroked her bangs with his fingers, deep and dark surges appeared in his eyes, and said lightly, "Why? Don't you believe it?" He raised the corners of his lips, feeling a little lonely.
Mingzhu shook her head and murmured softly, "It's not...it's just me..."
"It's just that you're wondering why you can trust others, but you can't trust him completely." Gongsun Qingming touched her heart and tore open the scar that she had carefully hidden and dared not remove.
Mingzhu was taken aback for a moment, her expression became dazed, and her eyes turned red.
"I'm afraid it's because you love too deeply, or you know that he will never let you go. So you always do whatever you want in front of him, and you don't treat him like you do to others." Gongsun Qingming touched her head, like her Treating Xiao Xuanyi like that, said faintly, "It's been ten days, and he hasn't come to you. You're worried that he won't come to you."
Mingzhu turned her head stubbornly, "I didn't."
"You are worried that something will happen to him." Gongsun Qingming smiled, and said to the point again, "Don't worry, what I gave you is not Hua Gong San."
"Why?" Mingzhu was surprised.
"It's just a drug, he will be weak for a few days at most." Gongsun Qingming was as cunning as a fox, and walked down the hillside with her, "Actually, even if it is a powder, it has no effect on him. Have you forgotten? I told you, that guy is invulnerable to all poisons."
"Brother..." Mingzhu stopped abruptly, her eyes were so sharp.
Gongsun Qingming pretended to be stupid, "What's wrong?"
"I think you are playing with me? Did you do it on purpose?"
"Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
"Yes!"
"..."
※※※
"My lord! Wangfei!" The guard saw the two from a distance and shouted loudly.
Mingzhu looked up, but saw dozens of people standing in front of the prime minister's mansion.Twelve cavalry?Mingzhu was very confused, thinking that they should be by Feng Zhanxiu's side!So...so is it...
Mingzhu stayed where she was, looking around for his figure.
Gongsun Qingming sensed something was wrong, walked up to the girls, and said in a deep voice, "Let's talk in the mansion!"
The twelve cavalrymen looked at Mingzhu angrily, even though she was the princess, even though she was the master's beloved, but at this moment, they felt uneasy.Now the princess is safe and sound, but they didn't find their master, they only found...
Mingzhu was stared at by them, and the whole person was slightly dazed.
When they came to the empty hall, the Twelve Cavalry could no longer bear the anger in their hearts, and fought for their master.
"Princess! Didn't you go out with the master? Why are you in the prime minister's mansion? Why did you send us a letter? Why did you leave the master alone? Why did you stay with the prime minister! Why did you treat the master like this! Don't know how much the master cares about you!"
June has a bad temper, and said a lot in one breath, some incoherent.
"Sixth Sister!" Eldest sister Yiyue shouted, signaling her not to be rude.
"Sixth Sister (Sister) is right!" All the girls spoke in unison, their eyes staring straight at Mingzhu.
"The master loves the princess and likes the princess. If the princess wants the world, the master will give you the world. If the princess wants the emperor's position, the master will give you the throne. After all the soldiers are handed over, the position of the regent is no longer needed. Whatever the princess wants, he will give it to you." What are you? Could it be that the master has done this, and the princess still can't feel the master's intentions, the princess is really chilling!"
"The princess must not know that the master's hair turned white all night because of you! When the master got the urn of the princess's ashes, his hair was so sad that he turned gray all night! His hair was dyed! Do you know that? You don't know anything!"
"And Emperor Xiao..."
The female voice was already choked up, and she was so choked up that she couldn't speak, "Master originally didn't want to kill him, but Emperor Xiao broke the urn of the princess's ashes, so the master killed him in anger! The princess always thought it was the master who killed Xiao." Emperor, it's actually you! If it wasn't for the concubine's non-appearance, would the master miss it?"
Mingzhu's eyes widened, her ears buzzed, her eyes became dry, and their faces became blurred.
"But the lord doesn't want children! The lord killed their children!" Xia'er couldn't stand it anymore, and stood up to speak for her master.
"Child? Haha!" Who laughed, and roared with a smile, "Everyone can understand how the master treats the queen mother! Everyone can understand how the master treats the emperor!"
"Master doesn't seem to care about anyone, but he values friendship the most! He won't let people who hurt him go! But people who treat him well, he always turns aside! Even if he killed thousands of people , but he never thought of hurting the princess, not even once!"
"The master is indeed domineering, conceited and willful. Even though such a man has countless shortcomings, is it true that he is not worthy of the princess' love at all!"
"Princess...why did you leave master..."
"The princess clearly knows that the master likes you very much, likes you very much..."
The eyes of the girls were red and swollen, and they could no longer speak a word.
January took out two things from her bosom, Mingzhu looked down, but it was the night pearl and the exquisite jade.
Two things he never left his body.
Mingzhu took it with trembling hands, and heard a misty female voice, "I found it on the edge of the cliff."
Mingzhu was holding the luminous pearl and the exquisite jade, and the whole person was silent.Her hands were trembling, she couldn't help trembling, and she murmured foolishly, "Cliff... Impossible... How could it be... I'll go find him... I'll go now... I'll go right away..."
"Princess..." The twelve cavalrymen shouted, and suddenly they all knelt down.
"He'll be fine..." Mingzhu said anxiously, "If something happens to him...then I'll pay him with my life..."
Suddenly, she found that she never thought that one day he would really leave her.Not once.Every time I feel pain and sadness, I just think about not seeing each other again.But it never occurred to me that there would be no more him in this world.I always feel that a person like him will live a long, long life.
Otherwise, even after a thousand years, why can I still see his eyes like that.
It turned out to be exactly the same as it was a thousand years ago, nothing changed at all.
Who does he seem to be looking for, who has he been looking for?Yes, when she was about to destroy him, he just looked at her and smiled, without struggling or resisting at all.But all the mages around her fell down, and none of them could stand up.Why can't she do it, why she just can't do it.
What is she going through the entire millennium for?
Feng Zhanxiu!
Mingzhu took a step forward, and suddenly ran wildly.
"Pearl!" Gongsun Qingming yelled and chased her out.
Everyone chased after her, and Mingzhu flew on her horse, ignoring everyone's shouts, and ran out of the mansion resolutely.A group of people rushed out of the capital one after another, heading towards the direction of the small town.
"Princess! Your subordinates lead the way!" Yiyue rushed in front of Mingzhu and led her to the cliff, knowing that she would never give up if she didn't go and see for herself.In fact, why have they given up on it?
To the west of sunset, dusk is gradually approaching, and another day is coming to an end.
Mingzhu and the others finally came to that cliff, and the group flew off their horses.
Mingzhu's feet went limp, and she staggered to the edge of the cliff.Gongsun Qingming was startled, and hurriedly flew to her side with all his strength, and grabbed her hand.Mingzhu shook her head, and said softly, "Brother, I'm fine, let me go."
Gongsun Qingming was even more worried, she was too quiet, a little weirdly quiet, "Xuan Yi is still waiting for you to go back to see him, you can't let him down."
Mingzhu was stunned for a while, then nodded.Gongsun Qingming let go of her hand, and Mingzhu walked unsteadily to the edge of the cliff. She lowered her head, only to see the bottomless abyss of the cliff.Holding Ye Mingzhu and Linglong jade, she fell down and fell to the ground.
Under the abyss, are you there?
Feng Zhanxiu...
Suddenly someone shouted, "I found it!"
Gongsun Qingming hurriedly looked back, only to see the cavalry waving at him.He ordered the three of them to stay and guard the pearl, while he followed the rest of the people towards the depths of the bush.Deep in the bushes, one can see human hands exposed in the soil.I'm afraid it was raining a few days ago, and the rain washed the soil.
"Dig it out!" Gongsun Qingming shouted in a deep voice, and immediately searched for thick branches.
A few people started digging, and they just dug out a few corpses.
After the rotting corpses were dug out from the soil, the stench was even worse.
Gongsun Qingming squatted down and looked carefully, "From the corpse, it is estimated that he died a few days ago. And it should be a killer with deep internal strength..." He observed the corpses, but saw that the man's lips were exceptionally clean, a little No stubble remained.He looked at it coldly, and stretched his hand behind him, "Use the sword!"
Gongsun Qingming took the sword, swiped it, and cut the man's clothes.
Although the cavalry were good at killing people, they were not used to looking at men's nudes, and turned their heads in embarrassment, wanting to see but embarrassed.I don't know who yelled in surprise, the girls looked back suspiciously, they were stunned for a moment, and there was no response for a long time.
how is it possible... how is it possible...

Royal Palace
Outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, an eunuch rushed over, "Eunuch!"
Hearing the shouts, Eunuch De turned his head to look at him with some displeasure, "The palace is quiet, and you cannot tolerate such noise!"
"I know my mistake!" The eunuch immediately knelt down on the ground, but trembling.
"What's so frightening?" Eunuch De saw something wrong with him and asked in a low voice.
"Eunuch!" The eunuch did not dare to raise his head and said in a trembling voice, "I just received the news that the princess has returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. She also left the city with the Prime Minister and the twelve cavalrymen. The direction is south of the city!"
"Chengnan?" Eunuch De was slightly taken aback when he heard this.Xiao Xuanyi's shout suddenly sounded behind him, he came back to his senses, and said in a deep voice, "Get down!"
"Yes!" The eunuch retreated immediately.
Xiao Xuanyi woke up from a nap in the middle of the day, rubbed his eyes, and walked behind Eunuch De sleepily, "Eunuch!"
"Your Majesty!" Eunuch De turned to look at him and shouted lovingly.
Xiao Xuanyi stretched out his hand to hold his big hand, and said softly, "Just now I dreamed that the emperor's uncle and aunt were there. I called them, but they ignored me."
Eunuch De squatted down in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, you are the ruler of a country, and you must become a wise and wise monarch. Loyal words are harsh to the ear, this is a famous saying from ancient times. You must practice martial arts diligently and become a versatile man in both civil and military affairs! Wait for the emperor When you grow up, the emperor must remember that your grandmother's name is Dongqin."
"Grandmother?" Xiao Xuanyi called suspiciously.
Eunuch De's eyes sparkled, and he became more emotional, "I'm getting old, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay by the emperor's side all the time. But my slave's heart has always been towards the emperor."
"Eunuch De!" Xiao Xuanyi hugged him and asked uneasily, "Is Eunuch going out too?"
"That's right! The slave is going out too!"
"Where is father-in-law going? When will you be back?"
Eunuch De was a little choked up, his eyes were sore, and he said with a smile, "It should be soon. Will the Emperor miss you after the servant is gone?"
"I really miss it." Xiao Xuanyi sighed, "Elder-in-law, don't leave."
"Slave..." Eunuch De hugged him back and said silently: I have to go...
When Mingzhu and his party rushed back to the palace non-stop, it was already dark.
But Eunuch De disappeared.
Immediately ordered people to look for him, but they couldn't find him.
Gongsun Qingming pondered, where would this hidden Degong Guild go?
They quickly went to find a secluded palace in the imperial palace, which is a cold palace and even a forbidden place.
Under the night, this cold palace looked extremely lonely.
"Where is this?" Gongsun Qingming looked at the cold palace and asked in a deep voice.
Mingzhu took a step forward and walked in slowly, "This palace used to be the bedroom of the little princess Dongqin. She is the younger sister of Emperor Gaozu Dongling Po and the aunt of Emperor Hong."
"Pearl!" Gongsun Qingming shouted in a deep voice when he saw the opened dark pavilion in the hall with sharp eyes.
The two walked towards the dark pavilion, only to find out that it was an underground secret room.Dark secret rooms, damp and narrow passages, only big enough for one person to pass through.Gongsun Qingming wanted to go ahead and protect the pearl.Mingzhu shook her head and went ahead.This kind of darkness is such that you can't see your fingers.
At the end of the passage, there is also darkness.
Tick-tick--
Water droplets fell from time to time, and the sound of the ding-dong stimulated the hearing.
The two walked through the narrow passage, but found that there was no way ahead.
"There should be a mechanism! Don't move!" Gongsun Qingming carefully touched the surroundings, touched the protruding object on the stone wall, and pressed it down.The stone wall suddenly rose up, and suddenly there was a white light piercing into the eyes, the two of them narrowed their eyes, and the icy cold also hit at the same time.
In front of you is a secret room that is airtight on all sides.
In the center of the secret room is a large | bed exuding cold air.On the big bed, Mr. De, who was dressed in an indigo palace uniform, was lying peacefully on it, but his whole body had already died.His expression was very serene, as if all his wishes had been fulfilled, and he had no regrets anymore.
The two walked to the big | bed, stunned and silent.
Gongsun Qingming murmured thoughtfully, "Could this be the thousand-year-old cold jade bed?"
The cold jade bed emits bursts of cold air, the closer it is, the cooler it becomes.If a person lies on it, the cool air will penetrate to the bone marrow and directly freeze the person.Thousands of years of cold jade, ice soul frightens the soul.It turns out that this is not a legend, it turns out that this is true.There are so many things in this world.
Mingzhu had a strong feeling that she had slept in this bed.
Because of her body, there was a reaction.
Closing her eyes, the millennium cold was sucked into her body, and she felt the memory of her soul...
※※※
Desheng - the general manager of the three dynasties of Lingdi, Hongdi and Xiaodi
Entering the palace at the age of ten, I was just a young eunuch who was bullied.
The old eunuchs and old mothers in the palace are all masters who like poisonous stubble.We little eunuchs are often beaten and scolded, which is commonplace.
The fate of life, I will be buried in the palace all my life.
I hate this palace, I hate everything about this palace.
I was framed by the old eunuch, who said I stole the empress's bracelet.I clearly didn't steal it, so how could I get it out?At fifty, I feel like I'm going to die.But someone appeared in front of me, she had a faint fragrance, black hair like clouds, and when she smiled, she couldn't even match the stars.
"What's the matter?" she asked.
"Princess Huiqin, the little eunuch stole the empress's bracelet, and he refuses to admit it!" said the old eunuch viciously.
"In a while, I'll just talk to the empress, let him go."
"But……"
"This little eunuch will belong to me in the future, do you understand?"
"The servant understands!"
She not only saved my life, but also rewarded me with a bowl of rice.Steaming hot meal, I haven't eaten in days.Holding the rice in my hand, my heart felt sour for a while, and tears fell down.I devoured my meal, and vowed to repay her, this Princess Qin.
And I also began to pay attention to Princess Qin.
Prince Dong Yanhong would often come to Qin Palace to look for Princess Qin. I could tell that he liked Princess Qin!But they are aunts and nephews!How can this be?However, that beastly Dong Yanhong actually violated Princess Qin, Emperor Ling was furious, and the original candidate for marriage in the Shengxin Dynasty had to be replaced!
It is useless for Emperor Ling to stop, and the prince is becoming more and more obsessed with opposing Princess Qin.
Princess Qin became thinner and thinner, and Dong Yanhong, who became the emperor, imprisoned Princess Qin.And I also became Dong Yanhong's eunuch in charge at this time, slandering and flattering him.But I know, I just want to be able to kill this stupid king one day.
The fake princess is back and it is said that she is crazy.
Princess Qin had to move to another cold palace, but she already had a child.
Just at this time, another imperial concubine gave birth, and Emperor Hong was not in the palace.That imperial concubine was just a fake pregnancy, she was in urgent need of a child.And I chose to steal the day and change the day, this is really the best time.
After Princess Qin gave birth to her child, she was already lethargic, but she finally left after a while.
As for that child, he was weak and sickly since he was a child, and died of coughing for many years.But he unexpectedly survived, and he was handsome and extraordinary, almost like Princess Qin.In order to keep the only child of the princess, I worked step by step and eliminated all the princes step by step, making Xiaotian the sole heir.
That's the way it is in the palace of evil, and I'm just adding to it.
I know that I have sinned deeply. I have killed many young lives and let them die in vain.If I go to hell after death, I won't hold any grudges.It's just that I never regretted killing Emperor Hong. I should have killed that ignorant fool with my own hands long ago!I only hope that God blesses Xuan Yi, the only blood left by Princess Qin, to grow up safely.
It's just that the person I'm sorry for is probably the King of War.
He was also a poor man, lonely all his life.But for Hyun Yi, I had to get rid of the troubles.
On Huangquan Road, if he demands his life from me, I will definitely sacrifice his head.
(End of this chapter)
The light rain fell all over the sky.
"Tat-tat-tat--" Two horses walked on the path, and the rain soaked their clothes.
Xia'er saw a temple not far away, and hurriedly said, "Master, let's go there to shelter from the rain!"
Mingzhu nodded, "Good!"
The two rushed to the temple immediately, Xia'er split the wooden chairs and set up a bonfire.Mingzhu sat on the ground, staring at the fire in a daze, but she was thinking deeply.Seeing her like this, Xia'er couldn't help muttering, "Master! You obviously can't let the prince go, why are you leaving! Why don't we go back and find the prince."
Mingzhu didn't speak, but just thought of what to do if he was all alone and alone.
"Xia'er, is there any silver in the lord's bag?" She asked anxiously.
"I put it away, I put a lot of banknotes! It's completely enough and more than enough!" Xia'er shouted, pulling up her sleeves and wiping the rainwater from her face, "Master, don't worry, I will take someone with me when I arrived in the town yesterday. The letter has returned to the palace. The Twelve Cavalry received the letter today and will definitely go to meet the prince."
Mingzhu nodded, as if she felt relieved.
"Master, where are we going now?" Xia Er asked again.
Mingzhu thought for a moment, but she had no direction.After being bored for a while, he said in a daze, "I don't know either."
"Princess, please follow me back to Nanchang Kingdom." The deep male voice sounded suddenly, which surprised the two of them.
Mingzhu suddenly raised her head and saw a tall figure standing in front of the temple.She looked from bottom to top, met the man's face, was surprised again, and said softly, "Everyone...all away? Why are you?"
"Guards?" Xia'er was stunned at the same time, never expecting him to appear at this time.
Could it be that he followed them all the way?
Thinking of this, Xia'er hurriedly used her body to protect her and stood in front of Mingzhu, "What do you want to do!"
"Princess, please follow me back to Nanchang Kingdom." Although Zhongli remained calm, a hint of paleness appeared on his resolute face, and Yintang's black air was heavier than it was a month ago.He repeated the sentence just now, but when he reached the last word, his voice froze and became weak.
Seeing that his expression was not right, Mingzhu asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhongli remained silent and walked towards her.
"Don't come here!" Xia'er roared, taking out a dagger to defend.
"Get out of the way!" Zhong Li shouted in a deep voice, he was about to reach out to grab someone, but the pain in his body made him fall to the ground.Sweat oozes out in an instant, and his face turns blue and white.The color of his lips also began to turn purple. He wailed in pain, curled up on the ground, and suddenly hit his head against the wall.
But in his arms, he saw a black shadow rapidly flowing along the blood vessels.
Xia'er turned pale with fright, and shouted in panic, "What is that!"
"He may have been bewitched!" Mingzhu recalled what happened when time travel possessed Zhu'er, but she couldn't be sure, so she said thoughtfully.
"Gu?" Hearing her say that, Xia'er quickly thought of that horrible wriggling bug.There was a burst of numbness all over the body, and even the scalp became numb.She hurriedly hugged Mingzhu, wanting to take her away from this place, "Master, let's go quickly! It's too scary!"
It could be said that Zhong Li could not live but could not die, he pulled out his knife in pain, and stabbed the Gu worm that was running around in his body with the knife in a panic.Blood spurted out, but the Gu worm was not stabbed to death.He could not afford to crawl on the ground, and tried to overcome it with willpower, but he was about to suffocate even for breathing.
"How could this be..." Xia'er murmured fearfully.
After a lot of painful tossing, Zhongli finally calmed down.
He had no strength left, and leaned against the wall weakly, his face was pale, and his lips were purple.
"Xia'er, give me the kettle." Mingzhu said softly.
Xia'er stopped her worriedly, staring at Zhongli who fell on the ground, "Master! He's got that kind of Gu, don't go over there! We'd better leave quickly, he will hurt you! He said just now that he would take you to Nanchang Kingdom , I heard that he was a spy before, but now it seems to be true."
Zhongli was closing his eyes to calm his breath, when he heard what she said, he just ignored her in silence.
Mingzhu patted the back of her hand lightly as a comfort.
Xia'er had no choice but to take out the water bottle from the bag and hand it to her.Mingzhu took the kettle and walked in front of Zhongli, pulled off the lid of the kettle, and handed it over, "Drink some."
Zhong Li slowly opened his eyes, looked at the calm face in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Why should the princess save me, I'm a spy, and I'm here to catch you."
"I'll save you, that's my business." Mingzhu grabbed his hand and forced the water bottle into his hand.
Zhongli was unbearably thirsty, grabbed the water bottle and raised his head to drink water.After drinking water, I felt better.
"Who played Gu on you, tell me." Mingzhu asked softly.
Zhongli half-opened his eyes, already very tired.He didn't have the strength to get up, but said in a deep voice, "I don't need you to save me, even if you do, I won't be grateful to you."
"I don't need your gratitude." Mingzhu said lightly, then slowly, "Unless you don't want to see her again."
Mingzhu didn't point to the point, but Zhongli already understood when he heard it.Yun Ni... Her vague face appeared in his mind, the cold expression changed slightly, and a cluster of light ignited in his eyes.After a long time, he said eagerly, "I hope the princess will save her life."
"I can't save her." Mingzhu raised the corners of her lips as she said.
Zhongli's eyes dimmed, but she heard her say again, "But...someone can save her, and you."
"Xia'er, go to the nearby village to see if there is a carriage!"
"Yes!"
Xia'er found an ox cart and replaced it with two horses, and the two worked together to help Zhong Li onto the cart.Xia'er drove back towards the capital.It is not far from the capital, and it will take a few hours to arrive.
Zhongli lay on the carriage and asked in confusion, "Princess, why are you..."
"I have conditions." Mingzhu said with a smile, "If you are not dead, then everything will go back to the past."
Zhongli was startled, secretly thinking about her words.Everything went back to the past, he was still that Zhongli, and she was still that Yun Ni.Does the princess want them to return to the King of War?Zhong Li squinted his eyes and looked at her, with two thick eyebrows knit together, his confusion became more and more serious, "If that's the case, why did the concubine leave?"
After he secretly returned to the capital, he observed in secret.Unexpectedly, the three of them actually left the palace, and Zhan Wang even left behind the twelve cavalry.Although the King of War is difficult to deal with alone, the situation is obviously in his favour. Without the Twelve Cavalry, he has much fewer people to deal with.
He followed them and came to the small town.
But in the middle of the night, he saw her and Xia Er riding away on horseback.He didn't know what happened, but in order to return quickly, he had to follow behind the two of them.He was also afraid that the King of War would catch up at any time, so he didn't dare to act lightly, fearing that this would be a game.
It wasn't until dawn that he decided to make a move.
It's just that the Gu worm in the body actually broke out.
The smile on Mingzhu's face faded away, and she just said lightly, "Too tired."
Zhongli closed his eyes, and the rain occasionally fell on his face, making it moist little by little.
He moved his lips, but his eyes gradually became moist, and said in a deep voice, "Actually... Hongdi was not killed by Zhan Wang."
"That day was Emperor Xiao's wedding. The day before the wedding, King Zhan did order me to assassinate Emperor Hong. But on the day of the wedding, he suddenly changed his mind. But I went anyway. I had to kill Emperor Hong. Ye After I got deep, I sneaked into the palace and went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. When I arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, I saw the prince rushing into the palace."
"I knew I might not be able to move tonight, so I was in a hurry to leave, but I bumped into Fu Rong."
"The next day, Hongdi still died."
Zhongli's voice was very deep, everything was so clear, just like yesterday.
When Mingzhu heard what he said, the knot in her heart that had already faded resurfaced again. She grabbed the handle of the umbrella and said softly, "The past is over, don't mention it again."
"The Gu worm in my body is about to reach its deadline, and I won't live long. If I don't say it, I'm afraid I won't be able to die in peace." Zhongli said slowly, his brows suddenly relaxed, and the corner of his mouth raised a curve, "Say it now Forget it, let’s forget about one thing.”
The rain was pattering on the ground, as if someone was crying sadly, and the sobbing sound was faint.
Mingzhu was slightly in a trance, watching the rainwater fall one by one, feeling lonely in her heart.

Miyakonojo
Prime Minister's Mansion
The carriage stopped in front of the mansion, and the guards saw a man and a woman holding an umbrella lying on the carriage.The umbrella was pressed a little low, blocking the line of sight, and the guard couldn't see the person coming, so he shouted, "Who is it!"
"Don't you recognize the princess?" Xia'er jumped off the carriage and hurried to help Mingzhu.
Only then did the guards see the person coming, and immediately bowed and shouted, "Princess, forgive me!"
"Is the prime minister in the mansion?" Mingzhu asked anxiously.
"My lord is in the mansion!" The guard replied.
Mingzhu was overjoyed and ordered, "Help him in quickly for me!"
Mingzhu immediately rushed into the prime minister's mansion, and Gongsun Qingming was also notified by his servants to meet in the hall.When Gongsun Qingming saw her, he was delighted and then surprised and asked, "Mingzhu, why are you back? As the saying goes, if you don't see her every day, it's like three autumns. Could it be that you miss your elder brother so much?" That's it!Started to be silly again!
"Brother, human life is important!" Ming Zhu said sternly before she had time to reminisce.
When Gongsun Qingming heard her say that, he immediately restrained his smile.He looked over and saw two guards helping a man into the hall.He approached and took a closer look, and said suspiciously, "All away?"
Zhongli's whole body felt like being pricked by needles, but he didn't even have the strength to continue to struggle against the pain.
Half a year, the deadline of half a year is coming soon...
"Send him to the wing room!" Gongsun Qingming immediately ordered the guards to send everyone to the wing room, while he and Mingzhu followed.When he came to the wing room, he asked the two children, A Li and A Chen, to fetch the medicine box and golden needles.While administering the needles, he examined his condition.
Mingzhu stood on the edge of the bed and asked softly, "Brother, how is he?"
"Gu poison." Gongsun Qingming spat out two words heavily, with a dignified expression, not like before.
"Is there a way to cure it?" Ming Zhu noticed his strangeness, but still asked.
Gongsun Qingming pierced another golden needle, staring at Zhongli's wrist that had been gnawed into the bone marrow, and said in a deep voice, "The poison has penetrated into the bone marrow, and even gods can't save it. Besides, this Gu worm was specially cultivated by my adoptive father, but The adoptive father is no longer alive. Now even if we want to study the anti-gu poison, it will take a month at the shortest."
"But he won't live for three days." He sighed, but clenched his fists bitterly.
Mingzhu looked at Zhongli blankly, but he smiled peacefully and said lightly, "I don't regret my death, I hope the princess and Gongsun Gongzi promise me two things."
"Tell me." Gongsun Qingming promised.
"Yun Ni was poisoned by the same poison as me. She still has time, I hope Mr. Gongsun will save her life." Zhong Li spoke slowly, turned his eyes to Mingzhu, and said again, "Princess, please tell her, I hope...she will marry a good man and live a happy life."
Mingzhu and Gongsun Qingming were silent and could only nod in agreement.
"Princess, I have something I want to chat with Gongsun Gongzi in private." Zhongli looked at Gongsun Qingming again.
"Okay." Mingzhu replied, turned around and left the room.
After the person left, Zhongli struggled to get up, Gongsun Qingming wanted to help him, but he stopped him.Zhongli got off the bed, knelt down in front of him, and said sincerely, "There is still one thing about Zhongli that you don't want to ask. The villain still has a mother in Nanchang, and I hope that Gongsun Gongzi will protect her for half of her life."
Although he didn't know the relationship between Gongsun Qingming and Her Majesty the Empress, he knew that Gongsun Qingming must have this ability!
Gongsun Qingming took out the jade fan from his waist and put his hands in front of him, "Return it to its original owner."
"Please, son, give it to mother for me!" Zhongli asked tremblingly.
"Drive—" the woman's voice sounded clear.
"Sister, it's the town ahead!" A companion shouted from behind.
After receiving the letter, the twelve cavalry rushed over without stopping.Although the letter was not signed, they were sure that it must have been sent by the concubine.It's just why they were asked to come to the town to meet the prince?Didn't they travel together?Vaguely, there is a bad feeling.
Twelve cavalrymen rushed into the inn immediately. The shopkeeper saw the guests and hurriedly greeted them, "Girls, do you want to eat or beat the tip?"
"Shopkeeper, let me ask you if a young master and a young lady came to lodge yesterday?"
"A young master and a young lady?" The shopkeeper murmured suspiciously while thinking.
"That lady brought a little maid with her!"
"The young master looks very handsome!"
"That young lady has big and beautiful eyes!"
As soon as January opened her mouth, all the girls added a bunch of them again.
When the shopkeeper heard what they said, he suddenly realized.He also took out a bundle from under the counter and put it on the counter, "Girls, the young master and young lady suddenly disappeared this morning, together with the maid. There are two missing horses in the backyard, and the I kept one. It’s a bundle in a room, and I haven’t touched a penny of the silver in it.”
When the girls heard this, their hearts skipped a beat.
"Don't be afraid, shopkeeper, we just want to find out where they are going." January said nicely.
The shopkeeper shook his head and said awkwardly, "I really don't know."
The girls glanced at each other, stopped lingering, and rushed out of the inn.
Behind him, the shopkeeper shouted, "Girl, this bag and that horse..."
The horseshoes started, and the 12 people had already rode away.
"Every group of three, go find them separately! After ten days, regardless of whether the master is found or not, the palace will gather!" Without hesitation, January ordered immediately.
The girls nodded to her and said, "Yes!"
The twelve cavalrymen turned around and went looking for the whereabouts of the prince and princess. The sky and the earth are vast, but the sea of people is vast, where can they be found?But that letter made them feel more and more uneasy, as if something happened.
Just, where did they go?
As Gongsun Qingming said, Zhongli only lived for three days, and then his seven orifices bleed.When he died, it was horrible.But he was very peaceful, and he was still holding something in his hand, holding it firmly.After his death, Gongsun Qingming captured the Gu poison in his body to study the gram.
Mingzhu let go of his hand, only to see a packet of gouache in his palm.
And there are only a few numbers on the paper bag - being in the same body with the king, this life wish is enough.
Another seven days later, it was the day of burial.
In the dead of night, Mingzhu came to the mourning hall to pray for everyone.The moment the sky-shattering scythe aroused his soul, the transparent crystal ball suddenly floated on the scythe.A faint light surrounded Mingzhu's body, and she felt a little sad.When the hands are empty, the soul returns to the next reincarnation, and after a thousand years, it will continue in the end.

All Lies—Guard of the King of War, carefully crafted by Nanchang Kingdom.
My mother told me more than once that I was originally born in a famous family.That is a big family in a country, enough for people to look up to.My grandfather was very talented and powerful, and so was my father, deeply in his heritage.But in my memory, the images of my grandfather and my father are too vague, so blurry that I can't remember them no matter how I think about them.
In the end, only a faint outline remains.
Only vaguely, I can still recall my father's smile.And my father's smile makes me feel that I am the happiest child in the world.
So my mother reminded me all the time, she said, Qi Zheng, you must avenge your grandfather and father, and the entire Qi family.
revenge?what is that?I didn't understand it at the time, I just felt that it was something very, very far away from me.
But later, when I became Zhongli instead of Qi Zheng, I finally understood what my mother said.It turns out that revenge means killing and being killed. It is like an endless cycle, but there is only one result. If I don't kill others, others will come to kill me.
Zhongli, Zhongli, I finally understand why my mother gave me such a name.
A killer doesn't need feelings, and only by betraying relatives can he become the best killer.
How can a killer need love?
So, from the moment I became a member of the public, my mother refused to see me again.She still didn't see me until the day I left Nanchang on a mission.When I turned around, I heard the door open, but I didn't look back.I'm afraid that when I look back, I don't want to leave.
I was even more afraid that when I turned around, I would see my mother's disappointed expression on me.
How can I let her down?
I must not let her down!
I just want to kill Hongdi, the one who killed my whole family.So I finally came to the Daxing Dynasty, finally started my revenge, and finally approached the King of War and became his most capable subordinate.That was the first time we met, he looked at me with cold eyes.There was a little girl standing beside him.
She is Yun Ni, and she is the confidant of the King of War.
But she never spoke a word to me, and I rarely took the initiative to talk to her.
Until one mission, which was a dangerous operation, we faced countless killers, but we were almost killed.At the last moment, she insisted on risking her life to advance and retreat with me.In the end, he blocked a knife for me and almost killed me.When I came back alive, I asked her why she didn't go by herself.She said that we are companions and should not leave each other behind.
companion.
Where is a companion, in fact, it is just a coincident time, met a person, and he is just a secret.
However, my heart was still touched so much that I even forgot that I was an elaborator.
Don't leave the other party behind...how good.I remember what she said.
I care about her, she cares about her, and she cares about a person who cares about a person.
I knew from beginning to end that that person was not me, and never was me.
That person is her master, a man who is arrogant in this world, she is so stupid.
I have known her for more than ten years, and only sent a pack of water powder.
In a life, the happiest thing is probably the few words she wrote down - being in the same body with the king, this life's wish is enough.
Unfortunately, that person is still not me.
I once promised her that after returning home smoothly, I would tell her a word.But now I'm afraid I'm going to break my promise, and I hope she won't blame me.I didn't tell her before I left, because I was afraid that she would never forget me in the future, and she should find someone who is better and more responsible than me.That's right.
In fact, I want to tell her that I have always liked her.
In the next life, don't you know if there is a chance?
Zhongli finally went to rest in the ground, and on that hillside was his resting soul.
Mingzhu and Gongsun Qingming stood in front of the tombstone, silent for a long time.
"Let's go." Gongsun Qingming said slowly, the male voice was deep and long.He took a step forward and walked down the hillside.
Mingzhu turned her head to look at his receding back, and couldn't help asking softly, "Qingming, who are you?" Zhongli's soul made her suspicious, as if Zhongli, no, it should be Qi Zheng. The descendant whose whole family was wiped out by Emperor Hong.If Qi Zheng is the one, then who is he?
Gongsun Qingming couldn't help but stop, but he didn't look back, nor did he respond.
Mingzhu waited patiently, and finally heard him say, "I won't do anything to hurt you, just remember it."
Mingzhu walked up to him, and he smiled back at her.Gongsun Qing knew how gentle her fair and handsome face was. He stroked her bangs with his fingers, deep and dark surges appeared in his eyes, and said lightly, "Why? Don't you believe it?" He raised the corners of his lips, feeling a little lonely.
Mingzhu shook her head and murmured softly, "It's not...it's just me..."
"It's just that you're wondering why you can trust others, but you can't trust him completely." Gongsun Qingming touched her heart and tore open the scar that she had carefully hidden and dared not remove.
Mingzhu was taken aback for a moment, her expression became dazed, and her eyes turned red.
"I'm afraid it's because you love too deeply, or you know that he will never let you go. So you always do whatever you want in front of him, and you don't treat him like you do to others." Gongsun Qingming touched her head, like her Treating Xiao Xuanyi like that, said faintly, "It's been ten days, and he hasn't come to you. You're worried that he won't come to you."
Mingzhu turned her head stubbornly, "I didn't."
"You are worried that something will happen to him." Gongsun Qingming smiled, and said to the point again, "Don't worry, what I gave you is not Hua Gong San."
"Why?" Mingzhu was surprised.
"It's just a drug, he will be weak for a few days at most." Gongsun Qingming was as cunning as a fox, and walked down the hillside with her, "Actually, even if it is a powder, it has no effect on him. Have you forgotten? I told you, that guy is invulnerable to all poisons."
"Brother..." Mingzhu stopped abruptly, her eyes were so sharp.
Gongsun Qingming pretended to be stupid, "What's wrong?"
"I think you are playing with me? Did you do it on purpose?"
"Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
"Yes!"
"..."
※※※
"My lord! Wangfei!" The guard saw the two from a distance and shouted loudly.
Mingzhu looked up, but saw dozens of people standing in front of the prime minister's mansion.Twelve cavalry?Mingzhu was very confused, thinking that they should be by Feng Zhanxiu's side!So...so is it...
Mingzhu stayed where she was, looking around for his figure.
Gongsun Qingming sensed something was wrong, walked up to the girls, and said in a deep voice, "Let's talk in the mansion!"
The twelve cavalrymen looked at Mingzhu angrily, even though she was the princess, even though she was the master's beloved, but at this moment, they felt uneasy.Now the princess is safe and sound, but they didn't find their master, they only found...
Mingzhu was stared at by them, and the whole person was slightly dazed.
When they came to the empty hall, the Twelve Cavalry could no longer bear the anger in their hearts, and fought for their master.
"Princess! Didn't you go out with the master? Why are you in the prime minister's mansion? Why did you send us a letter? Why did you leave the master alone? Why did you stay with the prime minister! Why did you treat the master like this! Don't know how much the master cares about you!"
June has a bad temper, and said a lot in one breath, some incoherent.
"Sixth Sister!" Eldest sister Yiyue shouted, signaling her not to be rude.
"Sixth Sister (Sister) is right!" All the girls spoke in unison, their eyes staring straight at Mingzhu.
"The master loves the princess and likes the princess. If the princess wants the world, the master will give you the world. If the princess wants the emperor's position, the master will give you the throne. After all the soldiers are handed over, the position of the regent is no longer needed. Whatever the princess wants, he will give it to you." What are you? Could it be that the master has done this, and the princess still can't feel the master's intentions, the princess is really chilling!"
"The princess must not know that the master's hair turned white all night because of you! When the master got the urn of the princess's ashes, his hair was so sad that he turned gray all night! His hair was dyed! Do you know that? You don't know anything!"
"And Emperor Xiao..."
The female voice was already choked up, and she was so choked up that she couldn't speak, "Master originally didn't want to kill him, but Emperor Xiao broke the urn of the princess's ashes, so the master killed him in anger! The princess always thought it was the master who killed Xiao." Emperor, it's actually you! If it wasn't for the concubine's non-appearance, would the master miss it?"
Mingzhu's eyes widened, her ears buzzed, her eyes became dry, and their faces became blurred.
"But the lord doesn't want children! The lord killed their children!" Xia'er couldn't stand it anymore, and stood up to speak for her master.
"Child? Haha!" Who laughed, and roared with a smile, "Everyone can understand how the master treats the queen mother! Everyone can understand how the master treats the emperor!"
"Master doesn't seem to care about anyone, but he values friendship the most! He won't let people who hurt him go! But people who treat him well, he always turns aside! Even if he killed thousands of people , but he never thought of hurting the princess, not even once!"
"The master is indeed domineering, conceited and willful. Even though such a man has countless shortcomings, is it true that he is not worthy of the princess' love at all!"
"Princess...why did you leave master..."
"The princess clearly knows that the master likes you very much, likes you very much..."
The eyes of the girls were red and swollen, and they could no longer speak a word.
January took out two things from her bosom, Mingzhu looked down, but it was the night pearl and the exquisite jade.
Two things he never left his body.
Mingzhu took it with trembling hands, and heard a misty female voice, "I found it on the edge of the cliff."
Mingzhu was holding the luminous pearl and the exquisite jade, and the whole person was silent.Her hands were trembling, she couldn't help trembling, and she murmured foolishly, "Cliff... Impossible... How could it be... I'll go find him... I'll go now... I'll go right away..."
"Princess..." The twelve cavalrymen shouted, and suddenly they all knelt down.
"He'll be fine..." Mingzhu said anxiously, "If something happens to him...then I'll pay him with my life..."
Suddenly, she found that she never thought that one day he would really leave her.Not once.Every time I feel pain and sadness, I just think about not seeing each other again.But it never occurred to me that there would be no more him in this world.I always feel that a person like him will live a long, long life.
Otherwise, even after a thousand years, why can I still see his eyes like that.
It turned out to be exactly the same as it was a thousand years ago, nothing changed at all.
Who does he seem to be looking for, who has he been looking for?Yes, when she was about to destroy him, he just looked at her and smiled, without struggling or resisting at all.But all the mages around her fell down, and none of them could stand up.Why can't she do it, why she just can't do it.
What is she going through the entire millennium for?
Feng Zhanxiu!
Mingzhu took a step forward, and suddenly ran wildly.
"Pearl!" Gongsun Qingming yelled and chased her out.
Everyone chased after her, and Mingzhu flew on her horse, ignoring everyone's shouts, and ran out of the mansion resolutely.A group of people rushed out of the capital one after another, heading towards the direction of the small town.
"Princess! Your subordinates lead the way!" Yiyue rushed in front of Mingzhu and led her to the cliff, knowing that she would never give up if she didn't go and see for herself.In fact, why have they given up on it?
To the west of sunset, dusk is gradually approaching, and another day is coming to an end.
Mingzhu and the others finally came to that cliff, and the group flew off their horses.
Mingzhu's feet went limp, and she staggered to the edge of the cliff.Gongsun Qingming was startled, and hurriedly flew to her side with all his strength, and grabbed her hand.Mingzhu shook her head, and said softly, "Brother, I'm fine, let me go."
Gongsun Qingming was even more worried, she was too quiet, a little weirdly quiet, "Xuan Yi is still waiting for you to go back to see him, you can't let him down."
Mingzhu was stunned for a while, then nodded.Gongsun Qingming let go of her hand, and Mingzhu walked unsteadily to the edge of the cliff. She lowered her head, only to see the bottomless abyss of the cliff.Holding Ye Mingzhu and Linglong jade, she fell down and fell to the ground.
Under the abyss, are you there?
Feng Zhanxiu...
Suddenly someone shouted, "I found it!"
Gongsun Qingming hurriedly looked back, only to see the cavalry waving at him.He ordered the three of them to stay and guard the pearl, while he followed the rest of the people towards the depths of the bush.Deep in the bushes, one can see human hands exposed in the soil.I'm afraid it was raining a few days ago, and the rain washed the soil.
"Dig it out!" Gongsun Qingming shouted in a deep voice, and immediately searched for thick branches.
A few people started digging, and they just dug out a few corpses.
After the rotting corpses were dug out from the soil, the stench was even worse.
Gongsun Qingming squatted down and looked carefully, "From the corpse, it is estimated that he died a few days ago. And it should be a killer with deep internal strength..." He observed the corpses, but saw that the man's lips were exceptionally clean, a little No stubble remained.He looked at it coldly, and stretched his hand behind him, "Use the sword!"
Gongsun Qingming took the sword, swiped it, and cut the man's clothes.
Although the cavalry were good at killing people, they were not used to looking at men's nudes, and turned their heads in embarrassment, wanting to see but embarrassed.I don't know who yelled in surprise, the girls looked back suspiciously, they were stunned for a moment, and there was no response for a long time.
how is it possible... how is it possible...

Royal Palace
Outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, an eunuch rushed over, "Eunuch!"
Hearing the shouts, Eunuch De turned his head to look at him with some displeasure, "The palace is quiet, and you cannot tolerate such noise!"
"I know my mistake!" The eunuch immediately knelt down on the ground, but trembling.
"What's so frightening?" Eunuch De saw something wrong with him and asked in a low voice.
"Eunuch!" The eunuch did not dare to raise his head and said in a trembling voice, "I just received the news that the princess has returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. She also left the city with the Prime Minister and the twelve cavalrymen. The direction is south of the city!"
"Chengnan?" Eunuch De was slightly taken aback when he heard this.Xiao Xuanyi's shout suddenly sounded behind him, he came back to his senses, and said in a deep voice, "Get down!"
"Yes!" The eunuch retreated immediately.
Xiao Xuanyi woke up from a nap in the middle of the day, rubbed his eyes, and walked behind Eunuch De sleepily, "Eunuch!"
"Your Majesty!" Eunuch De turned to look at him and shouted lovingly.
Xiao Xuanyi stretched out his hand to hold his big hand, and said softly, "Just now I dreamed that the emperor's uncle and aunt were there. I called them, but they ignored me."
Eunuch De squatted down in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, you are the ruler of a country, and you must become a wise and wise monarch. Loyal words are harsh to the ear, this is a famous saying from ancient times. You must practice martial arts diligently and become a versatile man in both civil and military affairs! Wait for the emperor When you grow up, the emperor must remember that your grandmother's name is Dongqin."
"Grandmother?" Xiao Xuanyi called suspiciously.
Eunuch De's eyes sparkled, and he became more emotional, "I'm getting old, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay by the emperor's side all the time. But my slave's heart has always been towards the emperor."
"Eunuch De!" Xiao Xuanyi hugged him and asked uneasily, "Is Eunuch going out too?"
"That's right! The slave is going out too!"
"Where is father-in-law going? When will you be back?"
Eunuch De was a little choked up, his eyes were sore, and he said with a smile, "It should be soon. Will the Emperor miss you after the servant is gone?"
"I really miss it." Xiao Xuanyi sighed, "Elder-in-law, don't leave."
"Slave..." Eunuch De hugged him back and said silently: I have to go...
When Mingzhu and his party rushed back to the palace non-stop, it was already dark.
But Eunuch De disappeared.
Immediately ordered people to look for him, but they couldn't find him.
Gongsun Qingming pondered, where would this hidden Degong Guild go?
They quickly went to find a secluded palace in the imperial palace, which is a cold palace and even a forbidden place.
Under the night, this cold palace looked extremely lonely.
"Where is this?" Gongsun Qingming looked at the cold palace and asked in a deep voice.
Mingzhu took a step forward and walked in slowly, "This palace used to be the bedroom of the little princess Dongqin. She is the younger sister of Emperor Gaozu Dongling Po and the aunt of Emperor Hong."
"Pearl!" Gongsun Qingming shouted in a deep voice when he saw the opened dark pavilion in the hall with sharp eyes.
The two walked towards the dark pavilion, only to find out that it was an underground secret room.Dark secret rooms, damp and narrow passages, only big enough for one person to pass through.Gongsun Qingming wanted to go ahead and protect the pearl.Mingzhu shook her head and went ahead.This kind of darkness is such that you can't see your fingers.
At the end of the passage, there is also darkness.
Tick-tick--
Water droplets fell from time to time, and the sound of the ding-dong stimulated the hearing.
The two walked through the narrow passage, but found that there was no way ahead.
"There should be a mechanism! Don't move!" Gongsun Qingming carefully touched the surroundings, touched the protruding object on the stone wall, and pressed it down.The stone wall suddenly rose up, and suddenly there was a white light piercing into the eyes, the two of them narrowed their eyes, and the icy cold also hit at the same time.
In front of you is a secret room that is airtight on all sides.
In the center of the secret room is a large | bed exuding cold air.On the big bed, Mr. De, who was dressed in an indigo palace uniform, was lying peacefully on it, but his whole body had already died.His expression was very serene, as if all his wishes had been fulfilled, and he had no regrets anymore.
The two walked to the big | bed, stunned and silent.
Gongsun Qingming murmured thoughtfully, "Could this be the thousand-year-old cold jade bed?"
The cold jade bed emits bursts of cold air, the closer it is, the cooler it becomes.If a person lies on it, the cool air will penetrate to the bone marrow and directly freeze the person.Thousands of years of cold jade, ice soul frightens the soul.It turns out that this is not a legend, it turns out that this is true.There are so many things in this world.
Mingzhu had a strong feeling that she had slept in this bed.
Because of her body, there was a reaction.
Closing her eyes, the millennium cold was sucked into her body, and she felt the memory of her soul...

Desheng - the general manager of the three dynasties of Lingdi, Hongdi and Xiaodi
Entering the palace at the age of ten, I was just a young eunuch who was bullied.
The old eunuchs and old mothers in the palace are all masters who like poisonous stubble.We little eunuchs are often beaten and scolded, which is commonplace.
The fate of life, I will be buried in the palace all my life.
I hate this palace, I hate everything about this palace.
I was framed by the old eunuch, who said I stole the empress's bracelet.I clearly didn't steal it, so how could I get it out?At fifty, I feel like I'm going to die.But someone appeared in front of me, she had a faint fragrance, black hair like clouds, and when she smiled, she couldn't even match the stars.
"What's the matter?" she asked.
"Princess Huiqin, the little eunuch stole the empress's bracelet, and he refuses to admit it!" said the old eunuch viciously.
"In a while, I'll just talk to the empress, let him go."
"But……"
"This little eunuch will belong to me in the future, do you understand?"
"The servant understands!"
She not only saved my life, but also rewarded me with a bowl of rice.Steaming hot meal, I haven't eaten in days.Holding the rice in my hand, my heart felt sour for a while, and tears fell down.I devoured my meal, and vowed to repay her, this Princess Qin.
And I also began to pay attention to Princess Qin.
Prince Dong Yanhong would often come to Qin Palace to look for Princess Qin. I could tell that he liked Princess Qin!But they are aunts and nephews!How can this be?However, that beastly Dong Yanhong actually violated Princess Qin, Emperor Ling was furious, and the original candidate for marriage in the Shengxin Dynasty had to be replaced!
It is useless for Emperor Ling to stop, and the prince is becoming more and more obsessed with opposing Princess Qin.
Princess Qin became thinner and thinner, and Dong Yanhong, who became the emperor, imprisoned Princess Qin.And I also became Dong Yanhong's eunuch in charge at this time, slandering and flattering him.But I know, I just want to be able to kill this stupid king one day.
The fake princess is back and it is said that she is crazy.
Princess Qin had to move to another cold palace, but she already had a child.
Just at this time, another imperial concubine gave birth, and Emperor Hong was not in the palace.That imperial concubine was just a fake pregnancy, she was in urgent need of a child.And I chose to steal the day and change the day, this is really the best time.
After Princess Qin gave birth to her child, she was already lethargic, but she finally left after a while.
As for that child, he was weak and sickly since he was a child, and died of coughing for many years.But he unexpectedly survived, and he was handsome and extraordinary, almost like Princess Qin.In order to keep the only child of the princess, I worked step by step and eliminated all the princes step by step, making Xiaotian the sole heir.
That's the way it is in the palace of evil, and I'm just adding to it.
I know that I have sinned deeply. I have killed many young lives and let them die in vain.If I go to hell after death, I won't hold any grudges.It's just that I never regretted killing Emperor Hong. I should have killed that ignorant fool with my own hands long ago!I only hope that God blesses Xuan Yi, the only blood left by Princess Qin, to grow up safely.
It's just that the person I'm sorry for is probably the King of War.
He was also a poor man, lonely all his life.But for Hyun Yi, I had to get rid of the troubles.
On Huangquan Road, if he demands his life from me, I will definitely sacrifice his head.
