For a moment, Chang Xi fell into the distant memories, and she unconsciously narrowed her eyes, trying to extract those blurred images from the depths of her memory.

Changxi said slowly: "My name is Xue Chonghua, and my style name is Changxi. I am the youngest daughter of the last emperor of the Yan Dynasty. The world calls me Princess Chonghua. I was sixteen years old when I died, and I was killed by Zhu Tizhao. ,later……"

Changxi paused, rubbed Yuan Shuangqing's brows, smoothed out the wrinkles, and then continued: "Later I became a ghost and killed many innocent people, so in fact Zhang Yiyou didn't say anything Wrong, I did have blood on my hands."

Chang Xi laughed at herself. Yuan Shuangqing felt a little sad when she heard her story, and wanted to comfort her, but Chang Xi pulled her hand and asked her to continue listening to her.

"I was locked up by the celestial master Zhu Tizhao found. It was because my soul was incomplete that I regained my mind. It just so happens that the master that day was your ancestor Yuan Yongdao. For some reason, he deceived me. Saved Zhu Tizhao, rescued me, and imprisoned me in Yuan's ancestral hall."

When Chang Xi said this, his eyes were stained with a little smile: "I stayed in the ancestral hall for many years, until a little girl who was still changing her teeth pushed open my door. You also know the rest .”

Yuan Shuangqing's face became hot, and she knew that the little girl who changed her teeth was her.She laughed unknowingly, and said: "It seems that our fate was settled 300 years ago."

Chang Xi pursed her lips and smiled, but thought of another thing: When Yuan Yongdao rescued her, he probably didn't expect that the most promising of his descendants would be abducted by her.

But she thought again, this is not considered abduction, it is clearly a mutual love.

After talking about many things, the two of them relieved their knots, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. After all, this underground palace is not an ordinary place, and it is not suitable for sitting for a long time, so they walked out side by side.

Their voices still echoed in the corridor.

"Actually, there is much more than that treasure in this underground palace. Just talking about Emperor Wei's official bedroom, there are more funerary objects than there."

"Oh? Then let it be buried in the ground forever, otherwise Emperor Wei Xiao will have knowledge in the spring, and I'm afraid it will be uneasy physically and mentally."

"Well……"

"Speaking of which, isn't the current Emperor Zhu Xi your enemy?"

The girl in red laughed lightly: "My enemy is dead long ago, and the disaster is not as good as my descendants. However, 300 years have passed, so it is wrong for Xue Linzhou to use the excuse of recovering the Yan Dynasty, causing people to die."

Yuan Shuangqing was not interested in these things, and said in a low voice: "Let him make trouble, we don't care."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Times have changed, and hatred only leads to self-torture, and then to torture others.There is no end, there is always an end.

It is actually very easy to pick up, but choosing to put it down is often the hardest.

Chang Xi picked it up and put it down again, and it took enough time for many reincarnations.

enough.

The emperor is the descendant of Changxi's enemy.

Changxi said she let go of this matter, but Yuan Shuangqing couldn't, so she buried a pimple, not to mention that she didn't agree with the emperor's many ideas. that person.

So after leaving the underground palace, Yuan Shuangqing didn't even return to the tent, and immediately came to the emperor's sleeping tent to ask for an audience.

With the payment of the army's food and grass, the emperor was now exuding joy all over his body, and almost immediately received Yuan Shuangqing, and when he saw her, he greeted her with a smile.

After Yuan Shuangqing said her intentions in the future, the emperor was obviously stunned for a moment, but he was reluctant to give up. He wanted to persuade her to leave the words on his lips, but he turned a corner: "You haven't taught me how to deal with the queen yet?"

Yuan Shuangqing said indifferently: "If the empress really loves you, it doesn't matter if you are a commoner, a wild man on the mountain, or a rough man with five big and three rough, or a pretty girl..."

The emperor frowned, and she felt that Yuan Shuangqing's attitude seemed to have become a little cold and resistant after returning from this trip to the underground palace.This came from the bottom of her heart, no matter how well Yuan Shuangqing pretended, she couldn't hide it.

There was a trace of struggle in the depths of the emperor's eyes. She smiled, lowered her eyes, and said: "I am the emperor. If one day I can't be the emperor, then the only way to wait for me is to die. If you can't see the queen, how can you love her?"

"Your Majesty, you have misinterpreted my meaning." Yuan Shuangqing didn't say much, and changed the topic back: "I'm leaving."

The emperor said: "Have you thought about it? I can give you an official position, and you can stay and help me."

"Caomin has made up his mind, please let the emperor do it." Yuan Shuangqing knelt on the ground and said softly: "Actually, I said at the beginning that I don't know anything, and I can't help you."

The emperor's fingers tightened abruptly, and her knuckles turned blue-white. As if she didn't notice it, a smile appeared on her face, and she sighed: "You should go, but you can't keep it anyway, that's all, since you want to go, I don't force it either. You have done me a great favor, just ask for anything you need."

"Caomin does have something to ask for."

The emperor didn't know what he was thinking, his face was smoldering like a dream.

Her voice became extremely flat: "You say."

Yuan Shuangqing looked at the emperor's face until the other side closed his eyes a little, then looked away, and respectfully kowtowed: "I also ask the emperor to spare the lives of Cao Min and Dong Yin."

The emperor was startled, and forced a smile: "What do you mean?"

"I'm not deeply involved in the world, but I'm not stupid either." Yuan Shuangqing looked directly at the emperor, and said, "No one will let their handle fall into the hands of others, let alone this person is an emperor."

The emperor half leaned on the backrest, and asked casually: "You put everything on the bright side, aren't you afraid that I will kill you right now?"

Yuan Shuangqing lowered her head and said in her heart: It really is so.

When she and Changxi said goodbye temporarily in the underground palace, Changxi said, "If you leave, the emperor will kill you."

At first she didn't believe it.

At this moment, under the temptation, a word became a prophecy.

The emperor will not let a person... who knows her worst secret.If she stayed by her side, she would not take any action for the time being. If she insisted on leaving, even for the sake of reputation, the emperor would not do it directly in full view, but would secretly intercept and kill him on the way away.

"I ask myself if I'm sorry for you." Yuan Shuangqing said sadly, she didn't say anything in the second half, but they both knew it well.

But you want our lives.

The emperor smiled faintly, the meaning was unclear, and his voice was slightly suppressed, and he said in a deep voice, "As long as you stay and help me, I won't do anything."

The room was quiet for a while, only the sound of the wind and snow falling on the tent was left, which was extremely difficult.

After a long time, Yuan Shuangqing got up from the ground, tapped her sore knee lightly, and said softly, "Your Majesty, take care."

The emperor's expression froze.

Without saying a word, she silently watched Yuan Shuangqing turn around and slowly walk towards the curtain. After opening it, she was dazed for a moment, and then walked into the wind and snow without a trace of nostalgia.

Only the snowflakes that came in between the opening and closing of the curtains were left, which were melted by the temperature in the tent and turned into water stains, and finally evaporated.

When he returned to the tent to pack his bags, Dongyin was still mumbling something, saying that he left without saying goodbye to the emperor.

When she said this, she smiled brightly, as if the emperor was still that street rogue Pearl, Yuan Shuangqing couldn't bear to break Dongyin's innocence, so she didn't say anything.

Yuan Shuangqing and Dongyin walked down the mountain all the way, when the ice and snow were fading, they met Ao Zhan.

He was still wearing a black cloak, the brim of the hat was pressed down extremely low, and only two moderately thick lips could be seen, a little pale.He stood silently by the side of the road, waiting for Yuan Shuangqing to approach.

Yuan Shuangqing called softly: "General Ao."

She looked around calmly, there was no one around here, so it was suitable for doing some unscrupulous things.

Yuan Shuangqing hooked her fingers around the handle of the dagger. Although she couldn't beat Ao Zhan, she always had to try when her life was at stake.

Dongyin didn't know anything, and followed Yuan Shuangqing with innocent eyes open, and even smiled back at Ao Zhan.

Ao Zhan lifted the brim of his hat, and he looked at Yuan Shuangqing's waist without any trace.

Yuan Shuangqing's hand was still on the dagger.

Ao Zhan looked at her calmly and said, "Miss Yuan, I will see you off."

"No need," Yuan Shuangqing paused, and said vigilantly, "I appreciate your kindness. General Ruo Ao is really so polite. Why don't you just turn around and leave now? On the contrary, I am grateful."

"Miss Yuan seems to be quite hostile to me."

After Ao Zhan finished speaking, a deep sigh came out of his throat. This sigh was very intriguing, like depression, and also like a kind of relief.

Then, he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled easily.

"The girl's two horses are in the farm at the foot of the mountain." Ao Zhan stared at her for a while, then pulled down the brim of his hat, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry..."

Don't worry, but he didn't say any more, but skipped Yuan Shuangqing and strode up the mountain.Yuan Shuangqing looked at his back silently, only felt that although he was wide and tall, there was an inexplicable sense of desolation inside.

For some reason, Yuan Shuangqing chose to believe what Ao Zhan said, even though he was the emperor's man.

But the facts proved that she was not wrong. When they reached the foot of the mountain, there was indeed a farm. After opening the door and entering, they found that there was no one living in it, but two horses were tied under the tree to eat grass.

Yuan Shuangqing pulled the saddle and stroked its back.

The two rode on their horses and galloped all the way, leaving Wushao Ridge completely before sunset and entering the small town.

Yuan Shuangqing had already put on the bright yellow Celestial Master robe, Dongyin was also wearing Central Plains costumes, and the people here were all wearing cotton short jackets, so after they pulled the horses into the inn, they attracted a lot of attention.

After a hot meal, the two opened a room each.

The clothes Yuan Shuangqing wore when she entered the underground palace had already been thrown away, but the weather was too cold, so she hurried to leave without taking a bath in time.

So now she is sad all over, and urgently needs warm water to wash away the dirt and fatigue.

Because of the severe cold weather all year round, the bathing facilities in this inn are very complete.There is an iron basin under the wooden barrel, which is full of charcoal, scorching hot air, and the bottom of the wooden barrel is also covered with a layer of iron to prevent the wood from being burned due to excessive temperature.

Yuan Shuangqing stayed comfortably inside for almost a quarter of an hour before coming out before her skin was almost wrinkled.

But as soon as she stood up in the bucket, she quickly retracted her body——

Chang Xi sat at the table, resting her chin on one hand, looking at her deeply.

I don't know how long she sat like this.

Yuan Shuangqing's face was blushing like blood, and she didn't know whether it was from heat or embarrassment.

She clasped her hands on the edge of the wooden barrel, and involuntarily drew her body together. Seeing that Chang Xi just raised her brows slightly, she still looked at her without shame, as if she didn't know that she was shy, and suddenly felt like her bones were softening. Pressed down until only a pair of eyes were exposed.

Chang Xi didn't speak, but Yuan Shuangqing was extremely unwilling to be silent like this, so she stumbled and said, "You...you're back."

"Ah."

Chang Xi smiled.

I don't know if it's because of soaking in the water for a long time, but the little girl's eyes are like elk, with a layer of water more than usual, which really makes people want to bully.
