Beiyue couldn't help but lean in to look, it was indeed a corner of the star rune. Half a palm's size, black, like an ordinary stone.

It shouldn't be like this.

Beiyue frowned, the star runes she had seen were not like this.

The Star of the Emperor, although starfalling, still carries a great deal of energy.

The few pieces that Qi Shen collected and put together, all with a light blue aura of energy, shimmering on the stone, very beautiful.

But the stone in front of him is like ...... He's dead.

"You're wondering why it has no energy, right?" Hanazawa smiled slightly.

Beiyue raised her eyes and looked at Hua Ze's abrupt and huge eyes, as if she understood something.

Hua Ze held the handkerchief in his hand to the star rune, coughed lightly, and then said, "I am the weak qi brought out of the womb." The most famous warlock on the Falling Dust Continent calculated the trajectory of the stars for me, and threatened that I would not live to be six years old. And this year, I'm twenty years old. Do you know why?"

Beiyue's pupils were full of this dusty stone, and he bowed his head slightly, "You have absorbed the energy in this star rune to maintain your lifespan." ”

It's a guess, and it's really smart.

Hanazawa lowered his eyes, "Yes, when I was five years old, my mother found this stone. I asked a famous mage in the flower country to give me a way to absorb the energy in the star rune and extend my lifespan. But he is still weak, not strong, and barely messing around. ”

Hanazawa chuckled.

"Ze'er!" Hua Xing gradually shouted, "What nonsense. ”

Hua Ze looked at the empress, and her eyes were already hazy with tears.

"Mother, I'm just saying what I'm thinking, I've never said it for so many years, so it's okay for me to make it clear today?"

Hua Xing gritted his teeth and beckoned, and the left and right personal female officers went out to serve the rest of the female officials who were waiting in the imperial study, and closed the door again.

Seeing this, Hua Ze chuckled again, "It's not a secret, why are you so bluffing." ”

"Ze'er, you have exceeded the rules today!" Hua Xing's eyebrows gradually turned cold, and he was already displeased.

Hua Ze didn't seem to care about the empress's words, and only pushed the handkerchief in his hand into Beiyue's hand.

"I am not born to make my own decisions, and I am not up to myself in death. How to continue your life, how to live, are all handled by others, what is the meaning?"

Hua Xing's face is no longer so simple as displeasure, it can be said to be angry.

Her fingers stiffened, and she pointed at the desk, staring straight at the side of Hanazawa's face, as if she could pinch and cast a spell at any moment.

Seeing this formation, Beiyue secretly pinched the hand behind him, and his face was also sad.

According to what she saw, this mother and daughter, a loving daughter, are heartfelt, and they will give her life at all costs.

One is extremely disgusted with such days, hating himself, and probably hating his own mother.

Hua Xing gradually raised her eyebrows, "Ze'er, are you blaming me?"

"The daughter doesn't dare, the mother naturally puts her daughter in her heart. I have done so much for my daughter, and my daughter is grateful. ”

When Hua Ze spoke, he didn't look at Hua Xing, but just looked at Beiyue and the handkerchief in her hand with two cool eyes.

Beiyue tightened her veil, "If it is just as the eldest princess said, now this star rune has no value. ”

Hanazawa bowed, "It's really worthless." If I had known that my sister would have traveled thousands of miles to the flower country for this star rune, I would have thought of telling you earlier. ”

A smile tugged at the corner of Beiyue's lips, if it was impossible not to lose.

Her planning and preparation for her ambition for so many hours now seems to be a joke.

Beiyue said, "Things have become like this, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess doesn't need to blame herself, everything is the will of heaven." ”

Hua Ze's gaze was glued to Beiyue's little face for a moment, and he hooked his lips and smiled, "Although this star rune is useless, I still know a few other ways to save your father." ”

Other than that?

Several?

Beiyue squinted, she heard her right?

Mingtai next to her raised his eyelids for the first time at this moment and glanced at Hua Ze seriously, with some complicated emotions in his eyes.

Hua Ze felt Mingtai's gaze, and his expression did not change in the slightest, it was still faint.

Hua Xing gradually stood up, "Ze'er, be cautious!"

Hua Ze's indifferent expression, after hearing the empress's words, his eyes flickered.

The long eyelashes were slightly constricted, but he still didn't look at the empress, and smiled at Beiyue, "Do you want to know?"

Beiyue straightened up, "I would like to listen to the teachings of the eldest princess." ”

Hua Ze didn't say anything, and slowly stood up, "I have excellent tea and snacks in the palace, is my sister willing to go and sit down?"

Beiyue did not hesitate, "Yes!"

It's a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, wine and arsenic-frost, she is willing.

"Then I'll wait for my sister, don't make me wait too long. ”

Hua Ze gradually saluted Hua Xing, ignoring her already angry appearance, and walked out of the palace by herself.

Hua Xing gradually seemed to be powerless against this daughter, she couldn't beat or scold, and she had to cough for a long time when she said two heavy words.

She still worked hard to continue this life, and she couldn't just let her lose it easily.

Seeing the weak back out of the palace gate, Hua Xing gradually reached out and pinched his eyebrows.

It's not light.

Beiyue was in no mood to comfort her, so she only said perfunctorily, "Your Majesty, but you are unwell?"

Hua Xing gradually waved her hand, "Girl, please take a seat, this daughter of mine is spoiled by me." ”

"The eldest princess is straightforward and fast-talking, and she is a downright person. "Beiyue's assessment is pertinent.

Hua Xing's eyebrows were full of helplessness, "She is resentful in her heart." Over the years, she has been in poor health and has suffered a lot. Every now and then, she asked me why I had saved her.

"A few months ago, news came from the Valley of the Wind, saying that General Qi Shen had turned into a talisman and sealed the Valley of the Wind. She was even more resentful of me, and said bluntly, if I hadn't given her this star rune energy, I wouldn't have made General Qi suffer so much now.

"She, although she is not in good health, is always thinking about her family and country. It's just that I am really aggrieved in my heart. When she was five years old, I did everything I could to find this star rune, and at that time, I didn't know that this star rune had such energy to seal the Valley of the Wind. I only saw her dying, and I thought, I can't just look at her in my arms. ”

In the end, there was something shiny in Hua Xing's eyes.

Mother only loves, but also blindly and simply.

Beiyue lowered her eyes and asked, "If Your Majesty knew the effect of this star rune at that time, would you give up?"

That's the way it is.

Hua Xing gradually looked at the petite girl in front of her, and said, "If I knew that this star rune could seal the Valley of the Wind, I would cut off the demon clan's plunder in the Falling Dust Continent, and I would never have made this choice." ”

Beiyue hooked her lips, "Your Majesty is also a person who has the world in mind." ”

Hua Xing gradually heard Beiyue's sarcasm, but he was not angry.

"I'm not a great good person, but I also know the trade-off between life and self-interest. Not to mention that Ze'er has other ways to choose, that is, if he can't choose, I am willing to seal the Valley of the Wind for General Qi. ”
