deceitful words and deeds

When Di Xie returned to his colleagues, Ze Lan had already returned to them, and Chu Yi, who was locked in the glass room, was staring in this direction.

That indifferent face was ashen, and fell into dead silence after seeing Zelan.He clasped his hands over his chest, lowered his head, and his messy hair swayed gently in the stagnant space.

A woman who died at a flowery age, her body wrapped in the large sleeves of a toga, is like a bamboo frame supporting the clothes, ready to be crushed and dissipated at any time.

That figure looked pitiful and pathetic, never seeing the previous madness again.

Zelan withdrew his gaze, swept across the faces of the people in front of him one by one, and slowly opened his mouth.

The first time I saw Chu Yi was in the bedroom.The princess who was blind from birth was kept in captivity in a palace made of soft fur and silk. She never stepped out of this palace until she was ten years old.

Everyone sees her as a fragile treasure—needing to be pampered and cared for, and nothing else.Father would visit her often, but he couldn't stay long due to busy state affairs.

Before Chu Yi came to this palace, no one told her what the world looked like, and she didn't know that the world was not a mess, but a colorful one.

Others in the palace rejected Chu Yi and did not allow her to approach, but Ze Lan often noticed her coming when no one was around.

She seemed to come from far away.Ze Lan heard from the maids that the barbarians who were captured looked different from them.

The palace people are about the same age, and the Chu clothes of fifteen are particularly eye-catching among the palace people.Her complexion was not white, and she did not apply any makeup. Her feet were very large, as if she had run barefoot on the ground many times, and they were rough and savage.

Zelan touched her feet and imagined how big they would look, secretly envious in her heart.If she had such a pair of feet, could she run very far?

"Have you never been outside?"

Zelan heard the voice of a strange girl, it was ordinary, neither rough nor barbaric.

She knew it was Chu Yi, and the body covered in the loose robe tilted a little to that side.Sometimes Zelan even suspects that such layers of clothing are also a means of restricting her behavior, and she simply cannot drag the clothes around alone.

"They wouldn't let me go out, saying that I would get hurt. Listening to them, it hurts. Are you from outside? Can you tell me what it looks like outside?"

She heard footsteps, and Chu Yi's voice sounded closer: "The sky outside is very big, the sky is blue, and the sun hangs in the sky, it is red."

Zelan showed confusion on her face, blue and red were words that had no concrete meaning in her ears, and she didn't know the difference.

The cold thing stuck to her neck, and Zelan flinched, but the cold thing still did not move away, she raised her hand to touch it, but Chu Yi said beside her, "Do you feel it? Blue, it's cold."

Zelan reached out and touched the cold thing, but his finger hurt.She felt something rushing out of the painful place, and she froze in fright for a moment, at a loss what to do.

Holding her hand to touch the painful place, the warm liquid stained his hand, Chu Yi said again: "It's warm, it's red. This is called injury, do you know what pain looks like now?"

Ze Lan didn't know when Chu Yi left. The other palace people screamed when they saw her, saying that they deserved to die, they shouldn't have left the princess alone, causing her to be cut by a sharp weapon.

Ze Lan didn't think it was a big deal, she felt a kind of fear towards Chu Yi in her heart, which was accompanied by curiosity and desire to get closer.

Like the sharp weapon that cut her, Chu Yi also broke the shackles that wrapped her heavily.She vainly tried to tear the crack open further, as if she could see the light of the sky through it.

She wants to get closer to this alien, because she is also an alien in this deep palace.A symbol in captivity, invisible, those whispers in the dark can be heard more clearly.

Chu Yi started to get close to her, getting closer and closer to her. The dissuasion of the palace people resulted in her stern reprimand. It was the first time that she said harsh words to them, even if the so-called harsh words were just a sentence: "Go away!" !"

Chu Yi laughed at her after the others left: "Dolls in captivity are not qualified to lose their temper, because you don't know what you will drink or eat next time, whether you have been spurned by others before."

Zelan didn't believe that they would be so bad, obviously everyone was kind to her.

Chu Yi's laughter became weird: "That's right, you can't see it anyway, you are the honorable princess."

Zelan turned her eyes blankly: "I don't want to be a princess, if I can see, if I can be free."

Zelan said that sentence very seriously, but he was serious when he knew that it was impossible to realize it.

Chu Yi took her hand, and wrapped the knife wrapped in hemp rope into her palm: "You swear, maybe I will pity you."

Zelan's hesitation was only because of pain, she was afraid of pain, but she still cut her palm amidst Chu Yi's laughter.

I don't know what Chu Yi did, but Ze Lan was able to see suddenly after a few days.She looked at everything strange in front of her, and there was only fear in her heart.

Chu Yi's voice came from the mouth guarding her, and Ze Lan stared at her for a long time.

It was a somewhat ordinary face, completely different from what she had imagined.

Her restoration of sight caused her father to stay for a long time. Ze Lan hoped to get a reward for Chu Yi, so she told her father that she belonged to Chu Yi's gang.So Chu Yi was taken away by his father, and he couldn't come back for the next few days.

I saw Chu Yi again, but it was at the sacrificial ceremony not long after.Chu Yi was dressed in different clothes and stood in the middle of the altar.The attire was extremely simple, completely opposite to the heavily wrapped gowns of the people around him, unlike anything Zelan had ever seen.

The palace man next to her said that it was the attire of a barbarian land, and that Chu Yi was a barbarian woman, and she asked to wear her own ethnic attire for sacrifices.Tribes that have long been extinct, wearing such costumes, will they return?She has not succumbed to the majesty of the great country and prayed for the lord.

The sneers from the people behind came to Zelan's ears, and gradually she couldn't hear anything clearly, and could only vaguely discern words such as "the fortune of the country is prosperous", "the king will stay forever", and "longevity and happiness".

After the sacrifice, the ruler of the country began to expand his army, and the aggression against the surrounding area gradually increased, and he succeeded again and again.Victory instigates the will to fight, and finally evolves into fighting everywhere. The more they occupy other people's territory, the more ambitious they become. The fighting seems to never stop for a moment.

Zelan was sitting in the deep palace, she could see things, but she still couldn't see the world.There is only this piece of palace wall and the square inch of sky in front of her eyes.

Chu Yi shook her naturally grown feet, and said with a smile, "Quickly, you'll be able to go out soon."

Things in the world are unpredictable like the wind and clouds, the death of the king and the destruction of the capital seem to be only a matter of days and nights.

General Ming Zhao broke into the palace to rescue the princess, and left with the princess and some palace people.Under his operation, Zeelan escaped from the rioting army unscathed.

Zelan was sitting in the carriage, not daring to look back at the palace that he had never left since he was born.

She never thought of leaving this palace in such a way, that year, she was 15 years old.

Chu Yi followed her, opened the curtain to look at the chaotic scene of burning, killing and looting outside: "Your people have been killed, don't you have any ideas?"

Zelan stared at the knee in front of her in a daze, and raised her hand to cover her face.

She should...she should grieve.

Those are her people, she is a princess, she should be merciful.But what she suffers from is that she can't bear the responsibility of the princess at all. She just wants to escape from here, go far away, and leave behind everything related to that palace.

"Whoever dies in my country, I will perish. Those who like to fight and kill, let them die in fighting and killing. Those who are not worthy of their position, let them go into exile."

Chu Yi's voice sounded like a curse, hitting his heart every word.Zelan understood something, but she seemed to have lost the ability to resist, and couldn't even generate resentment.

She died in exile, and at that moment, she really thought she was liberated.

But she saw Chu Yi again, the curse was like a tarsal maggot, crawling all over her body again.

Half an hour had passed after hearing Zelan's narration, Dai Yuyu couldn't see Zelan crying pitifully, and took her away from comfort.

Di Jie recovered from his own thoughts, and it was no surprise to see Qin Xiaoshu staring at him. Fortunately, Zhang Sanzhang and Gao Ling had temporary missions, so they were not around at this time.

"What do you think?" Di Que asked as if going out of order.

Qin Xiaoshu shook his head: "I didn't listen, I'm not interested. Don't you need my help with something?"

Di Xie endured it, but couldn't hold it back: "I let you stay here because I need you to analyze it together!"

Qin Xiaoshu suddenly realized, "Oh, if it's not so deliberate, it's still a little credible.

"According to Ze Lan, Chu Yi was the one who summoned Chong Jiu to come to the world." Di Chie tried to express his opinion, "How did that eye get into Chu Yi's hands?"

Di Chie thought about it seriously, Qin Xiaoshu knew that he really wanted to take that eye back from Chu Yi's hand, but unfortunately that eye had nine-and-a-half the power, so it would cause too much damage, Di Chie would definitely not allow it.

He could only cheer up and "brainstorm" with Di Xie.

"Someone picked it up." Qin Xiaoshu said sternly, "We took out his eyes at the suggestion of the evil beast, but we didn't confirm his death. After the scourge disappeared, those eyes were naturally out of our control. Its whereabouts are unknown, and it looks like someone found it after that."

"One was in the mouth of Lu Daolin's mouse, maybe it was accidentally swallowed by an animal looking for food. The other one appeared in the palace, it can only be artificial." Di Jie suddenly stood up, "That painting!"

The painting unearthed together with Chu Yi's body depicts the sacrifice that summoned Chongjiu. The witch in the picture is Chu Yi himself, and it was drawn by Chu Yi himself.And in that painting, that eye appeared.
