When you wake up, you are given marriage to your nemesis

The matter of personal conquest was settled in this way, and there was another problem that followed.

It was only a few days after they captured the capital, and the enthronement ceremony was not ready yet.It's too hasty to hold the grand ceremony before Luo Fengxin's expedition, but if Luo Fengxin doesn't ascend the throne, what capacity will Qiao Wan be in charge of?

She was married to Luo Fengxin two years ago, and her status as a courtier has been removed. Now she is not a queen. When Luo Fengxin was there, she could be said to be running errands for Luo Fengxin. It always seems a bit insufficient to manage courtiers with his identity.

Many ministers in the DPRK proposed to ascend the throne urgently, but Luo Fengxin refused for some reason that she didn't want to explain clearly, and only issued an order saying that during the days when she was not in Beijing, every word and deed of Qiao Wan could represent her meaning, which violated the order. Those who are also treated as contemptuous of the emperor.

The ministers saw that this side didn't make any sense, so they hurriedly found Qiao Wan again, but Qiao Wan, who was always easy to talk, was also very firm this time.

She could probably guess what Luo Fengxin was thinking. Although she didn't think Luo Fengxin's concerns were a problem, she also had her own selfishness in this matter.

"Being enthroned is a big event after all, it's better to be more grand." When Qiao Wan said this, she was standing by the Mingjing Lake, and there was a rockery seven feet away from where she was standing.

When they issued a campaign against the Chen family, it was almost at the same time that the Empress Dowager Chen and Grand Master Chen in Beijing, in order to cover up the fact that they had conspired against each other, found a five-year-old child from the royal family to be the new emperor. issued an imperial edict in the name of slandering Princess Leping and others as traitors to the party.

Later, when the Chen family was defeated, the Empress Dowager Chen and others only cared about fleeing by themselves. Seeing that the child could not swim and could only cry, they threw him down.

The child was probably terribly frightened, so he got into the artificial cave and accidentally stuck himself in the crack. When the crusading army who invaded the palace found him after a day and night of searching, he was already dead.

Because of what happened just now, Qiao Wan felt that it was inauspicious to rush to the throne.She is not a very superstitious person, if it were her own, she would rather believe in herself than believe in ghosts and gods.Just because it was related to Luo Fengxin, even if it was metaphysics or psychological comfort, she was unwilling to take any risks no matter what.

"You don't have to worry about government affairs, I'll take care of it." She pointed to the rockery and said to the people from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, "Replace all the things that can be replaced, and try to renovate the ones that can't be replaced. Don't do it when His Highness returns from victory. Do you know if there is any bad luck?"

Luo Fengxin's itinerary for the expedition could not be delayed, seeing that both of them insisted on this, the ministers could not persuade them anymore.Fortunately, Qiao Wan did as she said, taking care of everything in an orderly manner during Luo Fengxin's absence in the capital.The newly established imperial court will inevitably affect the vested interests of some people, and occasionally some people want to engage in some small tricks, but they are quickly killed by her in the bud.

It was already early autumn when Luo Fengxin set off for the expedition.Qiao Wan watched the leaves in the capital turn from green to yellow day by day, falling from the treetops one by one, and the children ran around, stepping on the dead leaves with crisp sounds.

Later, people put on cotton-padded clothes, ate dumplings, and began to prepare for the New Year.

It was New Year's Eve, and Qiao Wan went to Yong'an Palace for dinner at noon.Princess Yong'an felt sorry for her being alone in Beijing, and left her to watch the new year with them at the mansion.Qiao Wan wanted to go to the palace to review a few important memorials, but she politely declined. Seeing this, the princess asked someone to bring a large box and a small box of New Year's goods to her.

After finishing the business, it was getting late.Recently, there are frequent good news from the north, and the Hu people were forced to withdraw from Huakang and retreat to the Lianmo Mountain area. Luo Fengxin wrote that if all goes well, they will be back in the spring.Qiao Wan put away the letter and stepped out of the palace gate. Luo Fengxin was not in the palace, she didn't want to sleep in the palace by herself, and went back to the princess mansion as usual after finishing her work every day.

Nanzhu waited for her outside with a lantern in one hand and a cloak in the other. Seeing Qiao Wan come out, she carefully put the lantern aside and helped Qiao Wan tie the cloak. .

"It's snowing." Qiao Wan stretched out her hand, and the light snowflakes fell on her palm, and instantly melted into a small drop of water, icy cold.

She has been practicing boxing with Nanzhu recently, but her body has not become stronger, but seems to be weaker. Now the cold wind blows and feels that her bones are completely chilled.

"Ah!"

Qiao Wan sneezed, Nan Zhu quickly put on the hood of the cloak for her, and put the stove into her arms by the way.

"Ma'am, it's cold, don't put your hands outside, be careful of catching cold." Nanzhu said politely, but his expression was not so polite, his face was hard, and he almost said, "Just you sick person, stop playing in the snow." ".

Qiao Wan was just picking it up casually, but when she saw Nanzhu's serious face, she suddenly became playful.Received a letter from Luo Fengxin today, she was in a particularly good mood, and when she was in a good mood, she couldn't help but act like a monster.

"Hey, I haven't seen snow in a year, and I really miss it. Do you think it will snow heavily? Anyway, it's okay to go back to the house. Why don't we ask someone to bring a stove and go to the Huxin Pavilion to enjoy the snow. ?”

Heideng blindly looked at it and couldn't see any snow.Nanzhu didn't know what Qiao Wan was thinking. She was a boring gourd at first, but after following Qiao Wan's side for a long time, Qiao Wan forced her to become an old mother.

"You are going to be a concubine in a few months. Don't say anything else, you have to take care of your body. It's too cold at night, even if you want to enjoy the snow, you can wait until tomorrow when you wear thicker clothes during the day."

"I'm almost dressed in a ball, isn't it thick?" Qiao Wan touched her fur coat, it was not a lie, she was dressed in more than twice the thickness of bamboo, but she still felt bitingly cold.

"Why don't I ask Imperial Physician Dou to come and see again?" Qiao Wan has been in this situation for quite a while, Nanzhu was a little worried, and had sent the imperial physician to check the pulse before, but several imperial physicians did not see why. In the end, they only prescribed some nourishing and nourishing prescriptions for Qiao Wan to follow first.

"No need, I know what's going on." Qiao Wan rubbed the stove and held it to her heart to warm her body. However, she was wearing too thick clothes, and the heat from the stove would not be able to penetrate for a while. On the contrary, he moved around and tossed himself enough.

Nanzhu's face twitched when she saw it, and urged her to go back quickly.

Qiao Wan followed Nanzhu to the outside of the palace, halfway through the walk, she suddenly remembered that she went to the palace with Luo Fengxin to celebrate New Year's Eve last year, and before the banquet, she suddenly thought of going to Yaoquan Palace, but Luo Fengxin refused to let her go.This year has been busy for a year, and she has already thrown this matter into an unknown corner. If it hadn't snowed again today, she would not have remembered it.

Now that Luo Fengxin is not around, it is a good time to find out, she wants to see what secret Luo Fengxin is hiding, for fear that she will find out.

Qiao Wan made up her mind to go to Yaoquan Palace to see it, but Nanzhu couldn't resist her, so she had to go with her.When the two came to the gate, the young eunuch on duty was dozing off against the wall.

This Yaoquan Palace has been empty ever since Luo Fengxin moved out, not to mention ten days and a half months, even a year and a half years, there may not be anyone coming here, the little eunuch was shocked when he saw someone coming, and trembled Standing up straight, he hurriedly saluted Qiao Wan again.

The little eunuch was a stranger. Qiao Wan had never seen him when he lived in Yaoquan Palace, so he was probably transferred later.Qiao Wan nodded slightly, and said to him: "Please open the door, sir, I want to go in and have a look."

The little lady listened to the order and pushed the door open, and went in first to light the lamp in the corridor.Qiao Wan stepped into the courtyard. The courtyard has been tended by people. The two plum trees are in full bloom. There are stone tables, stone benches, a small frozen pond, and two stone-carved white cranes. Same as before.

While Qiao Wan looked at all this, she sketched in her mind the various situations when she and Luo Fengxin lived here.She stood in the courtyard for a while, after admiring the snow scene in the courtyard, she came to the main hall and raised her hand to push open the door.

Before coming here, she had guessed whether Luo Fengxin had done something after breaking up with her in the Imperial Garden that night, so she dared not let her come and see.She had many ideas, including Luo Fengxin cursing her on the slate on the wall, but the scene before her was something she never expected.

"Is this the way it used to be here?" Qiao Wan turned sideways and asked the little eunuch behind her.

The little eunuch poked his head in. Although the room was dark, it could still be clearly seen through the lights on the porch. The not-so-large house was empty, with nothing in it.

He touched his head and whispered: "I don't know either, this room has been empty since the first day I came here."

The old friends of Yaoquan Palace in the past have been dismissed and transferred to other places to serve after Luo Fengxin left. Now that it's so late and it's the New Year's Eve, Qiao Wan won't make a big fuss about this matter and call the people from the House of Internal Affairs to check on her Last time.

She took the lantern from Nanzhu, walked around the room, and noticed some scratches on the wall and floor, many of which were quite deep.

Could it be that the day Ah Feng came back, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he chopped up all the things in the house in a fit of anger...

Thinking of this, Qiao Wan felt chills on her neck.If this was the case, how angry would it be? Luckily, Luo Fengxin only chopped the furniture, not her.

This is indeed a bit embarrassing.Qiao Wan went out after seeing it, and didn't let Nanzhu in. After all, she was sorry for Luo Fengxin first, and now she peeked at Luo Fengxin's secret. She was a little guilty, and it was better to pretend that nothing happened.

After returning to the mansion, Qiao Wan lay down on the bed after bathing, and the empty room always appeared in front of her eyes.At first, she was still thinking about the time when she and Luo Fengxin were in that room, but when she thought about it, she suddenly felt some weird feelings.

In the past, when she recalled Yaoquan Palace, she remembered that the room was fully furnished, so she didn’t think much of it, but when she saw the empty palace today, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had seen it somewhere...

Houses are not much different. Apart from the interior decoration, it is normal for the exterior to be somewhat similar.But Qiao Wan felt something was wrong. It wasn't as simple as similarity. Although the colors were different, the structure was exactly the same!

Where……

The past quickly passed through her mind like a revolving lantern, she sat up suddenly from the bed, put on her coat and ran out.

Nanzhu, who was guarding the outside room, ran away before she had time to light the stove for her. Nanzhu was afraid that Qiao Wan would get sick from the cold, so she hugged a cloak and cloak and chased after her.

Qiao Wan also lived in this princess' mansion for some time, it was not when she first came here that she couldn't recognize the way, she walked fast and twists and turns, and came to an empty house in a short while.

This is a rough house that hasn't been painted yet. Qiao Wan remembers that during the Chinese New Year last year, she, Ah Feng and the servants of the house lit lamps and pasted window grilles here. Ah Feng said that it was planned to be built here Miscellaneous, and then went to the north has been useless.

Because it was not painted, and it was empty, Qiao Wan didn't think much about it at the time, but now that she looked carefully, the size and pattern of the room, its orientation, the shape and position of the windows, the structure and style of the roof including the style of the tiles, etc. A replica of the main hall of Yaoquan Palace!

The houses in the princess mansion are basically refurbished on the basis of the old mansion of the previous dynasty, but this one was built after this mansion was given to Luo Fengxin. Is this really just a coincidence?

The door was only plugged with a piece of wood, and there was no lock.Qiao Wan pulled out the wooden strips, and the inside of the house was still the same as the last time she looked at it, probably because of the holidays, it looked like someone should have cleaned it recently, the ground and corners were clean, but it was the same as the main hall of Yaoquan Palace, also It's empty.

Two empty houses and a room of missing furniture, Qiao Wan thought she had insight into Luo Fengxin's secrets in Yaoquan Palace before, but it seems that it was just the tip of the iceberg, and now the part under the iceberg is about to surface gradually.

"Ask the housekeeper for the architectural drawings in the mansion." Qiao Wan took the cloak and cloak handed over by Nanzhu, and rewrapped herself into a ball.

Nanzhu went to the housekeeper for no reason, and the housekeeper went to the warehouse to find out the blueprints. The two of them stood in the study for no reason. There will be such an inexplicable unfolding.

Qiao Wan spread out the drawings on the desk and studied for a while, when she looked up, she saw the two people were still staring at her.

"Ah, it's time, isn't it? Come, come, I'll give you both a bag of silver melon seeds. I wish you all peace and good luck in the new year."

Nanzhu and the housekeeper didn't stare at Qiao Wan to ask for a reward. Of course, the New Year's reward was originally a happy event. Since Qiao Wan gave it, the two of them had no reason to push it back, so they had to accept the reward with a mind full of question marks. Went away.

Qiao Wan probably understood what Luo Fengxin had done.It is impossible for the entire family to know about such a big move.Some of the servants in the mansion have been in the princess mansion all the time, and some were brought back from the northern border. Maybe no one knows the whole story, but as long as they are all called in and interrogated one by one, the truth can be found out quickly.

But Qiao Wan didn't do that. This was a little secret between Ah Feng and her. Anyway, she had plenty of time during the Chinese New Year vacation these days.

What she was looking for was a secret room. She had been to all the visible rooms in the Princess Mansion, and there was nothing she was looking for. It could only be hidden in a secret place she didn't know.

The blueprint did not show the secret room. Qiao Wan studied the blueprint all night, and marked out a few places that she thought were very likely. At dawn the next day, she started her treasure hunt.

The stone tables and benches in the study room, bedroom, and garden, Qiao Wan spent three days turning the Princess Mansion upside down, and finally moved a seemingly unremarkable house in the evening of the third day. The unremarkable vase, with a dull "crash", a large square hole with a length and width of more than ten feet appeared behind her.

That's it!

Qiao Wan snapped her fingers, picked up the candle she had prepared earlier, and walked down the steps.

The room at the bottom is only half the size of the room on the ground floor. There is a palm-sized vent in the innermost corner, and a little natural light shines through from above. It seems that the location should lead to the dry well next to the room.

As Qiao Wan expected, the room was full of furniture that had disappeared from Yaoquan Palace, and some of them couldn't fit flat, so they were piled up vertically.You don't need to go close to Qiao Wan to see the signs of damage on the furniture. It seems that Luo Fengxin split the furniture into several pieces in a fit of anger, glued them back together afterwards, and took them away when he moved out of Yaoquan Palace.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and a servant ran down the steps in a hurry. After seeing Qiao Wan, he breathed a sigh of relief, and after paying his respects, he explained, "I heard movement outside, so I thought it was a thief."

"You have been in charge of cleaning here?" Qiao Wan asked him.She didn't know how often Luo Fengxin came here before, but Luo Fengxin had been here for nearly half a year, and there was no dust on the tables, chairs and bed cabinets here, and it could be seen that the cleaners were quite dedicated.

The servant nodded: "Ever since His Highness brought these things back from the northern border, the little one has been in charge of cleaning them."

Qiao Wan was taken aback when she heard the words, she only thought that Luo Fengxin moved these things from Yaoquan Palace and put them here when she opened the mansion, she never thought that Luo Fengxin took them to the north.

It's not surprising if you think about it, when Luo Fengxin went to the northern border, she definitely didn't know if she would be able to come back, so she simply took all these away.

Qiao Wan looked at the old things in this room, and couldn't tell what it was like.Later she found Nanzhu, and sure enough, she found out that Luo Fengxin also had such a room in the Northern General's Mansion.

Different from the unfinished room in the Princess' Mansion, the room in the General's Mansion was built not long after Luo Fengxin left. According to Nanzhu, there are old furniture stored in it. When I come back, I sit there for a while, sometimes for a whole day.

At first, Nanzhu didn't connect this matter with Qiao Wan, but after hearing Qiao Wan's special question, and thinking about what they saw in Yaoquan Palace a few days ago, she understood something.

Qiao Wan sent Nanzhu away, took the lamp and went back to the secret room alone.She walked past these furniture one by one, tracing each object with her fingers.Everything here bears the memories of her and Luo Fengxin, it looks so familiar, but it looks a little strange because of those hideous openings.

Luo Fengxin obviously regretted it later. These damaged furniture were not simply re-glued, many of the cracks were filled with some broken wood strips of the same material, and then re-painted, and some even had The traces of repeated polishing show how careful the people who did this work are.

This fool, how can a broken thing be repaired like a new one.Fortunately, their relationship has gone through ups and downs and they can really be reunited. Compared with these scarred old things, she and Ah Feng are much luckier.

Ah Feng was a little awkward when she was in Yaoquan Palace, she always sneaked a look at her, but when she grew up, she became a big awkward, secretly took the things they used and hid them.He obviously wanted her so much that he wanted to hide it tightly, and every time he saw her, he always pretended to be disgusted, and didn't let her know a little bit.

Thinking of Luo Fengxin's appearance, Qiao Wan unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth, but she smiled with infinite sadness.

Almost let this big trick go by.Ah Feng is such a fool, if she really left when Luo Jinhe ascended the throne, does this fool plan to spend his whole life guarding this room?

At the beginning of March, Luo Fengxin's class teacher returned to the court.Tie Tie Mo'er and his men were driven out of the pass by the Yu Dynasty Wang Shi, and they were driven to the west of Dulan Mountain.After this battle, Shiliu Hu's vitality was severely injured, and Tie Tie Mo'er was also getting old, so he might not have the strength to invade the territory of the Yu Dynasty again in his lifetime.

The government and the people rejoiced, and Qiao Wan prepared a celebration banquet for Luo Fengxin and the soldiers who had returned in triumph, and then came the enthronement ceremony.

The Ministry of Rituals spent more than half a year, and the preparations were quite sufficient. Qin Tianjian set a date, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs dedicated the newly made court uniforms to the future emperor and empress. According to Qiao Wan's instructions, they also made them for all the palace people. After getting new clothes, everything that should be built and decorated in the palace has been properly arranged.

That day, Qiao Wan and Luo Fengxin got up before Yinshi, and the palace people waited for her to change clothes and make up. The two first worshiped the heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the shrine, and then knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times in front of Luo Jinhe's mausoleum.Afterwards, they changed to formal attire, because there was no empress dowager in the palace, so they skipped prostrating to the empress dowager. The two went directly to the Chengqing Hall to accept the worship of the officials, and then went to the Hanyuan Hall to accept the pilgrimage of the princes and relatives.

It was past noon after all the tossing around, Qiao Wan went back to the bedroom in a daze and fell asleep, and didn't wake up until the sun was about to set.

"Huahua! Huahua!" A childish voice ran all the way in from outside the hall, Luo Chengxiao grabbed a handful of wild flowers from nowhere and ran towards Qiao Wan, "Huahua!"

The nanny chased up from behind and picked up the child, whispering: "Shh - don't disturb your mother's sleep."

"It's okay, I'm already awake, let him come over." Privately, Qiao Wan didn't like so many rules, even though she became a queen now, she still referred to herself as "I" when it was not necessary.

The nanny squatted down, Luo Chengxiao broke free from the nanny's arms without waiting for the nanny to let go, ran up to Qiao Wan in a jerk, and held up the wild flowers in her hand to Qiao Wan as if offering a treasure: "Huahua!"

"Does it look good?" Qiao Wan carried Luo Chengxiao over and sat on the bed. The child grew fast, and could run, jump and talk in no time.

"It looks good!" Luo Chengxiao replied quite loudly, and then touched Qiao Wan's clothes with his dirty hand.

The nanny broke out in a cold sweat when she saw it.She is an old man next to Empress Cao, and she has brought this child with Luo Chengxiao since he was born. She has seen a series of changes in the court, and knows that this child's status is quite embarrassing now.

In terms of dignity, Luo Chengxiao is naturally noble as the only child of the late emperor, but the person sitting on the throne now is another person after all, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this child is dependent on others in his current situation.In case of offending the new queen, what should I do in the days to come?

The nanny here frightened herself half to death just by relying on her imagination, while Qiao Wan hugged the child and laughed.

Although this child is not her own, she is also like her, and has the potential to become a natural enemy of flowers and plants at a young age.

She smacked Luo Chengxiao's face, making the child giggle non-stop.Looking at Luo Chengxiao, she thought of Empress Cao again.

That is a very smart and brave woman. She has been paving the way for the child's future since she was pregnant, and she was also paving the way for the child until she died.

She knew that as long as she was still alive, she would bring endless troubles to Luo Chengxiao. Only after she died, could Qiao Wan and Luo Fengxin raise Luo Chengxiao as their own child without any grievances. She will think of her mother, the Luo family's contribution, and will not treat this child harshly.

Qiao Wan could see empress Cao's thoughts clearly, and because she could see clearly, she felt more apologetic.In addition, she also likes children at first, so she hits off very well with Luo Chengxiao, one big and one small.

The young lady outside the door listened to the voices of three people talking in the hall, and came in to report that a few people outside took the badges of the former princess mansion, claiming to be the empress's friend, and they had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as Qiao Wan heard this, she hurriedly put down Luo Chengxiao, got dressed and asked them to come in.

Not long after, the brothers and sisters of the Yun family, Yin Sheng, Luan Yu and Yue Xiu entered the room one after another.

"You are the empress now, we have to kowtow when we see you." Yin Sheng was still as lively as before.

Yun Guangyi waved his folding fan, covered his mouth and said, "She used to be the princess, and I never saw you kowtow to her."

Yin Sheng glared: "I'll hit it now, remember to make it up after it's done!"

"Hey, hey, don't, don't." Qiao Wan hurriedly interrupted the bickering between the two.Yun Guangyi has a lot of bad water in his stomach, and Yin Sheng was so excited that he kowtowed to her for a while, and then he found an excuse to slip away, Yin Sheng would probably be so angry that he would tear down the house.

Yun Guangyi let out a "tsk", showing a regretful face that the good show failed.Yun Xiangrong gave her brother a gouged look, then saluted Qiao Wanfu and said, "We are here today to say goodbye to you."

"Are you leaving?" Qiao Wan was taken aback.

Yun Xiangrong nodded slightly: "A year ago in Mindi, we devoted ourselves to studying water conservancy and came up with some new ideas. Now that the government has settled down and the world is peaceful, my brother and I want to travel around to see if we can spread these technologies. to somewhere else."

This is a good thing, and the brothers and sisters of the Yun family liked to go sightseeing, but it was because of Qiao Wan that they were detained for a long time.

Qiao Wan asked someone to take some money and donate it to the Yun family brothers and sisters, saying it was a financial aid, but the Yun family brothers and sisters refused to accept it.

Next was Yin Sheng. She said that her master was not in good health recently and wanted to go back to be with him.

Qiao Wan also gave Yin Sheng a sum of money, and said that he would come to the door in person in the future to thank the old man for his help over the years.

After Yin Sheng finished speaking, Yue Xiu stepped forward and hugged Qiao Wan.Among these people, she and Qiao Wan have known each other for the longest time and have the best relationship.

"Are you leaving too? Isn't Tingfeng in the capital?" Everyone was about to leave at once, and Qiao Wan felt uncomfortable.

"I have already resigned as the leader of Tingfeng." Yuexiu said.She didn't wear makeup today, but unlike the embarrassment when she was forced to show her true face last time, she took the initiative to do so this time, and she seemed a lot more relaxed: "After Dan Zhu died, I was in her room I found a bead flower, which I gave to her when I first met her."

After Danzhu's incident, Yuexiu didn't take the initiative to mention it in front of others for a long time, but she suddenly said it today, thinking that the lump in her heart has been put down.

"Maybe she said that she never thought I was lying to me, maybe she left this thing there on purpose, so that I would regret it and remember her forever." Yuexiu said this with a slight smile on her face. lonely. "I'm tired of this kind of life of defrauding each other with masks on. Maybe I can live a more authentic life without this layer of identity."

Yuexiu has saved more money than Qiao Wan's small treasury over the years. Qiao Wan didn't give her any money, but only asked her to send a letter after she settled down, and remember to keep in touch in the future.

After the four of them finished talking, only Luan Yu remained.Luan Yu and the others stared at each other for a long time before realizing that it was his turn to speak.

He thought for a while with blank eyes, and said distressedly: "I have nowhere to go, and I will do whatever the master tells me to do."

Qiao Wan laughed when she heard that, after all, there are still friends by her side, right?

After seeing off the group of people, Qiao Wan waved away the palace guards, closed the palace door and sat alone in front of the couch.

"Xiaobai?" She called out tentatively.

It took a while for Xiaobai to slowly appear in her mind, and asked softly, "Are you ready to leave?"

"Before that, let's talk about you." Qiao Wan propped her head on one hand, and looked into the void.

"You're not a system at all, are you?"

Xiaobai remained silent.

Qiao Wan said to herself: "I lived in the Princess Mansion when I was dealing with Zheng Wei. One night you said something to me. At that time, I was too tired and fell asleep. After thinking about it for a long time, I seem to remember you Tell me to end this quickly, or your life will be in danger."

"At first I thought maybe I couldn't stay in this world for a long time, but then I realized it didn't seem to be the case. Every time I got sick, if I got seriously ill, you would disappear for a few days, and then I would be fine.

Recently, my health is getting worse and worse, the imperial doctor can't diagnose the problem, and your activity level is getting lower and lower. You used to talk to me often, but you hardly come out if I don't call you in the past year.Then think of my body becoming weak after using your ability...Xiaobai, tell me honestly, is all this related to you? "

Xiaobai opened his mouth and was stunned for a moment. He didn't seem to know how to explain it. After a while, he said, "I don't know what I am, but your physical deterioration is indeed related to me..."

"How come you don't know what you are?" Qiao Wan wondered.

"It's true. I only know that whenever the world is in chaos, the people are in dire straits, and the resentment and pain of the people reach a certain level, I will wake up from my deep sleep." Following these words, Xiaobai's white animal-like appearance gradually faded away. After receding, a dark mist left Qiao Wan's body and appeared in front of her.

"I turned into the appearance of Bai Ze in the mythology book, wishing I was an auspicious beast, but no auspicious beast would appear in troubled times. If I really want to say it, I think I'm probably the god of plague."

Qiao Wan couldn't see Xiao Bai's expression from the black mist, but she could hear it just by her voice. The speaker must be very depressed.

Xiaobai's words can be said to be quite bizarre, but Xiaobai's existence itself is also quite bizarre.

"The end of the troubled times? Where will you go?" Qiao Wan asked.

The black mist fluttered, and replied: "I will sleep again until I wake up next time."

"So you can only live in troubled times every time?" Qiao Wan sighed, "That's so pitiful."

The black mist stopped flying, and seemed to be overwhelmed by this problem.

"I've never thought about it this way, but it seems to be okay to say so."

After hearing this, Qiao Wan fell into silence, and the black mist floated around her boredly, waiting for Qiao Wan to tell it that it was ready to teleport.

"Xiaobai, have you ever thought that you are not the god of plague. You have the ability to travel through time and space and go back in time. Every time you wake up, you are actively looking for a way to relieve the suffering of the people. If you are a god, then you must be a very good person." God."

Qiao Wan spoke seriously, and the black mist stopped again.

"Really, really?" It seemed to be a little embarrassed to hear such a compliment for the first time.Although Qiao Wan didn't know how she could see the feeling of embarrassment from the black mist, she could probably feel that Xiao Bai was just like that now.

"Well, you must be very good and powerful." Qiao Wan said with a smile.

"But, but if I stay with you for a long time, your health will become bad..." Hei Wuzhi was happy for a moment, but when he thought about it, he became depressed again.

"It's not necessarily your fault." Qiao Wan explained to Xiaobai: "You are a god, and I'm just an ordinary human being. Is it normal that a human body can't bear the power of a god?"

These are just Qiao Wan's guesses, not necessarily correct, but she came to this world and got along with Xiaobai for almost seven years, at least she felt that Xiaobai really cared about the people in the world.

After hearing Qiao Wan's words, Hei Wu became happy again.Qiao Wan thought that if Xiaobai was really a god, to some extent he would be a very easy-to-fudge god, and he would believe whatever he said.

"Every time you use power, will it affect you?" Qiao Wan asked after thinking about it.

"I can't say it has any effect. My power seems to be related to the resentment of the world. The stronger the resentment, the stronger my power will be. When the resentment subsides, my power will fade. After it completely dissipates, I will fall into a deep sleep until I am awakened again. Now the world is at peace. , I don’t have much power left.” Hei Wu paused, and then added: “But don’t worry, it’s enough to send you back.”

In order to avoid being seen talking to Xiao Bai, Qiao Wan closed the doors and windows, and when she looked around, all she could see was the scene inside the house.Her eyes swept over the seat, the round table, and the makeup niche one by one, and finally landed on the bed where she was sleeping just now.

Thinking of the lingering relationship between her and Luo Fengxin here these few days, Qiao Wan's face flushed slightly.

"I don't want to go back."

"Are you sure?" Hei Wu trembled up and down, not quite understanding Qiao Wan's decision.Although it has learned many human emotions in its thousands of years of existence, some emotions are still half-understood.

"Well. I thought about it carefully. There is no one waiting for me in the world there. Here, I can't let Ah Feng live alone, and I also want to be with her."

This idea was decided when Qiao Wan began to consciously not rely on Xiaobai's power, and it became even more indestructible after she knew the secret of Yaoquan Palace.

"Ah... well..." Black Mist has never encountered such a situation, and this is the first time it has successfully saved this world by pulling people from another world.Before Qiao Wan, there were a few people who came here, and they all cried and shouted to go back within a few months, and they refused to live in this place full of power struggles, and they would die if they were not careful.

"Would it be possible for you to exist for a longer period of time without spending this amount of power?" Qiao Wan asked.

"You always wake up when the troubled times come, and then fall asleep as soon as it's over. It's so unfair to you that you always only work but don't see the results. I hope this time you can fall into a deep sleep before your power dissipates." Take a good look at this peaceful era that we have created together."

"Is it really possible?!" If the voice before the black mist was just happy, now it can be called a surprise.

"Well, I think you can change into Bai Ze's appearance, and you can also change into other forms if you think about it. Do you want to turn into a human form and go around this world?" Qiao Wan asked with a smile.

"Ahhh!" The black mist screamed for a while, and then slowly stretched and faded away.A person exactly like her appeared in front of Qiao Wan's eyes.

"This won't work..." Qiao Wan twitched the corners of her mouth.

Xiaobai didn't seem to be used to being a human being, so he turned his back and rubbed his face for a while, then turned around and turned into a [-]-year-old girl, her facial features were not very beautiful, but she looked It's pretty clever.

Qiao Wan looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "That's pretty good."

Xiaobai cheered and was about to rush out, but Qiao Wan pulled it back by its collar: "Don't go out from here! Just now everyone saw that I was the only one in this hall, now how do you want me to explain when you go out from here?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xiaobai came to his senses, turned into a beam of light on the spot, circled Qiao Wan twice, the light spot dispersed, and a brisk voice came from the air: "I'm leaving, thank you, I love you , what a da~"

Hey, no conscience, let's go.Qiao Wan complained silently in her heart, Xiaobai has such a powerful ability to travel through time and space but doesn't
