Zhehua

Yin Taki stayed by my side, staying half a moment longer than she used to go to court.

The battle between Gou Chen and Mantu on the front line was intense. Even when Yin Taki came back, she was always paying attention to the movements on the front line. I knew that in a few days, she would set off again to go to the place where the flames of war were fiercest.To her subjects, the Queen is the incarnation of the God of War and a symbol of invincibility. The Queen will swing her sword and rush to the forefront of the army.

I lay quietly in the room, Gintaki had just left, the temperature in the room began to drop sharply, my breathing became short of breath, I curled up and wrapped the brocade quilt tightly, trying to get more warmth.

Bingxiao pushed the door open at this moment, came over and lightly placed a bead beside my pillow.

I looked at it quietly, the whole body was bright red, translucent like agate, this bead had just been placed beside my pillow, and an inexplicable throbbing surged from my heart, as if it was being pulled by something, I stared closely at it. This bead, no matter how difficult it is to move away when one's eyes fall on it.

Seeing me like this, Bingxiao explained: "The king left this thing before leaving, and asked the servant to put it by His Highness's side."

"Hmm." I didn't want to say too much, so I breathed lightly in response.

"Your servant will leave." Bingxiao turned around and left the room.

I looked at the red bead beside the pillow, as if it was alive. The pillar was shining brightly, and the red inside the bead flowed like a liquid. I stretched out my hand, and my fingertips touched the bead lightly.A red light extended from the bead, slowly wrapped around my arm, and once it flowed to my heart, the red light was accompanied by a stream of heat, and my heart suddenly warmed up, not as uncomfortable as before.

In an instant, the energy in my body recovered a lot, and the air around me was no longer as cold and unbearable as before.

What is this, I was a little curious for a while.

Is it from Gintaki?But this bead seems to have something in common with me, and the aura on it seems to come from the same source as that on me.

Although I am the princess of the Xuanyu clan, the phoenix of Myriad Phoenix, I was born for blessing.I myself am a symbol of good fortune, and everywhere I go, there are auspicious signs and auspicious rains.If any country is lucky enough to be enshrined, its ancestral temple will be prosperous and the country will be rich.

That's why I was imprisoned by Gintaki.

It has only been ten years since Gou Chen founded the country, but because of my stay in Yeming City, the national strength has grown day by day, and the border has continued to expand.At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Queen Yin Taki ruled with iron and blood, suppressed the alien party, and cleared the atmosphere inside the court.But Yin Taki's wrists are too strong, if it weren't for Gou Chen becoming stronger and stronger under her leadership, such cruel and bloody, I am afraid that he would have lost the hearts of the people.

I'm not taking all the credit on myself. Yin Taki is a natural emperor. Whether it's battlefield warfare or political strategy, she is a dragon and phoenix among people. It's just that everything came too quickly. The opportunity to be buffered, this pearl, is afraid that it will be dusted for a while.

But my knowledge of my abilities is limited, perhaps due to memory loss.

I only remember the scene when I was born, knowing that I was born in response to expectations, and my responsibility is to protect and bless the Xuanyu people.

Then there is the memory in the Chuiming Palace. Regarding my own abilities, apart from some innate sensory abilities, I know very little about myself and about the abilities of the phoenix bird.

I remembered what Yin Taki told me before when I first arrived in the Chuiming Palace. At that time, I was not a sycamore tree, but now I live at will. Apart from some natural talents of the protoss, my current behavior is clear to the world. .

With a heartbeat, I carefully held the beads beside the pillow in my hand, got up and changed my clothes.I want to go to the apse.

When I opened the door, Bingxiao was waiting outside, she bowed her head to salute me.

"No need, Bingxiao." I said softly, "Come with me to the apse."

"Yesterday the apse was on fire, and now it's a mess. What are you doing there?" Bingxiao asked curiously.

"I want to find something, probably the same kind of thing." After saying that, I spread my hand and showed Yinlong's beads.

"Since that's the case, if the servants call more people, there will be a few more handymen." Bingxiao said, and then she opened her mouth to call the maidservants on both sides.

"No need." I interrupted her: "You just go with me. If you don't see any hope of finding it, I'll come back. Don't make too much trouble."

Bingxiao nodded in response, and followed me to the apse.

The closer you get to the apse, the more dilapidated the scene in front of you.

A few days ago, it was still a splendid building, but now it is in ruins.I think of the house that Yintaki took me to. It is located in a remote place. I wonder if it survived?

However, when he got there, all he could see was a piece of scorched black ruins.

I frowned slightly, and asked Bingxiao behind me, "Why is this place burned so thoroughly?"

"Your Highness doesn't know that the fire last night started from here. This courtyard was originally a sleeping place for the king. Usually, she doesn't like to be disturbed. Except for the patrolling palace people, there is no one here. No one stays here. Last night, the fire started from here inexplicably, Wang suspected that someone set the fire, so he sent people to investigate."

It turned out to be like this, I thought of the man in white who descended from the sky last night, and I had some guesses in my heart.

I don't know if all this is arranged by him?

The house in front of me was indeed burnt clean, except for the dark charred wood, nothing else could be seen.

I sighed secretly, turned around and said to Bingxiao behind me, "Go back."

"Yes..." Before Bingxiao answered, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

When she came to me, she kowtowed and knelt down without saying a word.It was Si Tao who was rescued by me last night.

"What is the virtue and the ability of Si Tao, so that His Highness will not give up and save you. The great kindness and great virtue will be engraved in your heart and will never be forgotten." She was a little excited as she spoke, and her beautiful face was full of tears. I looked at her and remembered last night. What she said at the fire scene, her heart for Yin Taki was so deep, and she was transferred away because of a mistake.

I looked at her red eyes, this child has always matured precociously, and she must have been frightened a lot last night, I couldn't bear it for a moment, I stepped forward to take her two steps, and helped her up from the ground.

Just when I stretched out my hand to raise Si Tao's arm, her expression moved slightly, as quickly as an illusion, and then my arm suddenly went numb, the beads in my hand fell to the ground, and rolled into the ruins not far away middle.

Bingxiao hurried forward to look for it, Si Tao was shocked, she knelt down on the ground again, kowtowed and confessed.

I looked at her thin figure, and a little thought came to my mind.

"Your Highness, the beads have rolled into this place, and there are broken logs and charcoal everywhere to cover them, and there is no trace of them." Bingxiao's voice came from behind.

As I thought about it secretly, Si Tao in front of me turned pale and kowtowed desperately: "It's the negligence of this servant, this servant deserves death."

"It is indeed a crime worthy of death." Bingxiao stepped forward and reprimanded: "This is a token from the king to His Highness, even a hundred of you can't afford it."

Si Tao raised her head when she heard the words, and I saw that her forehead was already bright red, her skin was fair, and she had a gentle temperament. From this point of view, she was very pitiful.

"Your Highness, Si Tao knows I'm wrong, Si Tao will look for it, and I will definitely find the lost beads." After saying that, two teardrops rolled out of her eyes, she looked up and looked at me pleadingly.

"Forget it, I was not careful. Since Yin Taki gave me this bead, I will send it to you. You should withdraw first."

When Si Tao heard the words, as if she had received an amnesty, she kowtowed heavily on her head a few more times before getting up to leave.

I looked at her thin and thin figure in the distance, and I felt a little complicated while watching.

"Ice cream." I called out.

"The servant is here."

"Go and call more people to help find it." I ordered.

"Yes." Bingxiao replied in a low voice, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait..." I called her back, and added: "Call some people who are familiar with you, if you can trust them."

There was a bit of deep meaning in Bingxiao's eyes, and she nodded in response: "I understand."

"Go."

I stood alone in front of the apse, full of thoughts.

This matter would come to Yinlong's ears from time to time, and she wanted to know everything about me, no matter how big or small.

Thinking of Yin Taki, I felt a little inexplicable peace of mind, and a slight smile hung on my lips.

Suddenly I woke up, and my heart was full of surprise. Since when, I have been so relieved of Yin Taki.

Uncontrollably, Gintaki's kiss in the firelight last night appeared in my mind, I just felt embarrassed and burned up.

"Okay, don't think about it anymore." I whispered to myself: "It's better to do something serious when you have time to think about it."

As I said that, I walked forward a few steps and stepped into the ruins. The courtyard had been burnt to a piece of scorched earth, and my goose-yellow silk shoes were rubbed with black marks as soon as I stepped in.

Taking a deep breath, avoiding the potentially dangerous ruins, I put on my cat and carefully searched among the ruins.

The light-white fingertips rummaged among the broken wood and broken tiles, and beads of sweat oozed from my forehead.

It was scorched black everywhere, and the red brilliance could not be seen.

The helpers of the ice belt also arrived later, about a dozen people, a group of people searched carefully in the ruins.

Got nothing.

In a blink of an eye, it was already dusk, I stood up and walked out.

"Bingxiao." I looked at Bingxiao, who was still carefully looking for the whereabouts of the red beads among the ruins, and ordered: "Come here first today, you ask two people to guard here tonight, don't let others come here. You and others, go back with me first."

Yin Taki is coming back soon.

Bingxiao and I walked back to the front hall, before we had time to change our clothes and freshen up, we saw Yinlong in a dark red dress striding towards us.

"Pfft." She came to me, looked carefully at her eyes, and suddenly laughed softly. The smile really filled her eyes, and Yin Taki's beautiful eyes seemed to be stirred open, splashing sparkles.

I didn't want to talk to her, but I couldn't bear her playful and narrow eyes, so I stared at her with rounded eyes.

"I admit defeat." Yin Taki suppressed a smile, raised his hand and scratched the tip of my nose, and said, "What did you do, you were clean when you left, why did you come back like a cat in a blink of an eye?"

I just remembered that I searched for the whole afternoon in the ruins, looked down at my embroidered shoes, it was already darkened, and one could imagine the miserable look on my face.Thinking of this, and receiving Yintaki's playful gaze, I couldn't help but burn like fire on my face.Even so, I still don't want to lose my momentum, and I still stare at Yin Taki fiercely.

It was Yin Taki, who suddenly coughed twice and looked away. I looked at her curiously, and saw her cheeks were slightly flushed.The smile on his lips deepened.

I was depressed for a while, and then I thought about it, but I felt that what I did was really naive, and it was a little funny secretly.

Bingxiao took two steps forward and knelt down to plead guilty: "It's the servant who didn't take good care of her that made His Highness fall into such a mess, I beg the king to forgive me."

"Ha..." Yin Taki looked down after hearing the words, and saw the same black ice cream, couldn't help laughing for a while, and then covered his lips with his hands.Keep the laughter from flowing.

"Wang...?" Bingxiao raised her head in doubt.

"It's nothing, go in and change first. You have to apologize, and come to me after cleaning up." Yin Taki said, leading the way inside, followed by a group of people.

Bingxiao and I looked at each other, both blushing.
