Chapter 129: The Secret Edict
The princess glanced at Yan Lu, saw that he was also puzzled, and observed me again, before saying, "It turns out that you still don't know my father's secret edict." Novel www.mะตng.lฤ"
"Secret edict?" Seeing that the princess's expression was very strict, she sighed in her heart, she couldn't hide from what should come. I said frankly: "Is it convenient for the princess to speak out, what is the content of the secret edict?"
The princess grabbed my arm and whispered word by word: "The secret edict orders you to leave Confucianism immediately and go to serve as the Nine Siren." โ
"Leave......" my head slammed, "Jiu Si Ren again?"
"The official is the same as the protector of the country. โ
There was a chill down my spine, this was the will of Qin Shi Huang, and no one could change it! Now Confucianism is on the cusp, and the empire already knows about my existence, and there is no reason to let me stay here. What's more, the moon god knows the Chengying Sword, and maybe he also knows the dragon, and the Yin and Yang family will never really let me go.
"Madame Zhang, are you alright?" the princess said worriedly.
I clenched my fingers tightly in my palms, and forcibly suppressed the uneasiness that swelled up in my heart. His eyes subconsciously looked at Yan Lu, wanting to get a soothing tranquility and indifference from his eyes, but even in the past, he was light and breezy, and at this moment there was only a heavy melancholy in his eyes.
My heart sank again, and my head was a mess, but the ghost made me surprisingly calm.
I lowered my eyes and lowered my head, and then lifted the emotion that had been exhausted, and smiled disapprovingly: "It's okay, princess." Such a big title is just a little flattering for a while. โ
The inappropriate smile on my face made her brows tighten even more: "Mrs. Zhang, since you haven't obtained the secret edict, maybe there is still room for things, or maybe Mr. Zhang Liang also has other ways to deal with it, and he can also prepare early." โ
There was a faint sourness in my heart. Zhang Liang: There is the whole Confucianism behind him, what can he do?
I forced a smile and said, "Princess, it's just a post, it's not a prison, you can come back at any time, right?"
"This ......" The princess seemed to want to remind me of this mistake in understanding, but she could not bear to give me any more blows, and swallowed the words back.
If I can really come and go so openly, why use secret edicts, the empire just wants me to disassociate myself from Confucianism.
The mind was blank for a moment, maybe he just wanted to divert from this topic that made people collapse, and he was inexplicably busy with matchmaking.
"Don't patronize me, Senior Brother Zilu, did you say you were going to give the princess something?"
Yan Lu looked at me as if he was looking at a terminally ill patient, and his eyes were deeply worried.
I forced my brows and smiled slightly: "It's a token for the princess, don't be embarrassed to take it out." โ
Yan Lu was unprepared, because this was just my nonsense, knowing that he was a candle that was not lit, I reached out and took down the jade pendant he was wearing.
"That's it, I'm not going to give it to someone if I bring it with me. I smiled, took the princess's hand and spread it out, and stuffed the jade pendant into the princess's hand.
Yan Lu was a little relaxed and hesitant for a while, but in the end he didn't say anything.
The princess still saw something strange, and said tactfully: "This seems to be very valuable, Yuqin doesn't dare to accept it lightly, thank you, sir." โ
I hurriedly fanned the wind and said, "Princess, then it goes without saying, of course, what Senior Brother Zilu wants to give you is the most valuable thing on your body. โ
A trace of embarrassment flashed on the road, but he didn't reach out to pick up the jade pendant handed back by the princess, but said with a slight astringency: "This is the jade pendant left by my ancestors." โ
My already stiff expression stiffened again and again, and I coughed lightly, which seemed to be a little more precious ............. Generally, it can only be given to your own lady
I smiled and continued to pretend to be stupid: "I'll just say, no wonder my senior brother wears it every day." โ
The two of them looked at each other, their eyes touched, the light in their eyes turned around, and their faces were like peach blossoms. And the soft and rippling gaze of the four eyes fell on me, and they all cooled and condensed in an instant.
Being looked at by them like this, I felt that I couldn't hold it anymore, and I used my last strength to squeeze out a bright smile: "Senior Brother Zilu, Fusu Gongzi is still in the village, you can take the princess back quickly." I just came out to get something, and Uncle Xun was waiting for me to go back and have something to explain, so I took a step first. โ
I quickly turned my head and took off the heavy and tired disguise, and in an instant tears welled up uncontrollably from the corners of my eyes. I tried to restrain myself from being calm, but the anxious voice kept echoing in my head, asking myself, is there a way not to leave?
It's not that I didn't think that there would be this day, but it really happened, and I realized that no matter how hard I tried, I was still so cowardly and vulnerable! I came to this strange time and space, I never left the little sage village, nor did I leave Zhang Liang's side, this is already the whole belonging of my world, let me leave here, as if my whole heart will be emptied, at a loss.
I've always told myself that I can't be his burden, and I'm desperately trying to adapt here to make myself stronger, but at this moment I suddenly realized that all I was adapted to was his world. His little by little protection and companionship penetrated into every minute and every second I spent, just like breathing, it became the most common but the most unstoppable habit, do I really have the ability to face the world without him......?
All the way over, there were guards in armor, and I was a little dizzy when I saw it, and the little sage village was surrounded by layers, where could I hide. I sat down decadently by the empty pool, and I remembered the "Dragon" in my sleeve, will it answer me?
I hurriedly took out "Canglong", my trembling hand finally stabilized, and the uneasy voice in my heart asked: Is there a false alarm? I don't have to leave here, do I?
After a long time, Canglong was still empty.
"Why don't you answer me! Why don't you answer me to such a critical question!" was inexplicably a little annoyed, thinking back to the words that Canglong had appeared before, and smiled like a dead face, laughing at himself for being so stupid, it obviously gave a hint, I still don't give up, and my mind is beginning to be confused.
I don't know how long I sat in a daze, and suddenly I heard a familiar voice floating from a distance: "Did she go that way?"
"Yes, His Royal Highness. โ
I was filled with excitement and stood up. Sure enough, it's today!
Knowing that there was nowhere to escape, he still involuntarily took a few steps back, and the electric thoughts flashed in his mind, or how to 'escape' this thought!
Suddenly, the center of gravity was unstable, and he stepped on the air, and his whole body fell backwards.
Suddenly found that he had fallen into the pool, and the movement was too loud for others to discover, so in a hurry, he turned around and flipped over, using internal force to buffer the power of entering the water as much as possible.
Freezing cold, I buried myself in the water and held my breath.
The footsteps became quick, approaching in an instant.
"Childe, this is?"
"I saw someone fall into the water. โ
"Childe can't do this, let's go down to save people!"
was still discovered, and I panicked, and I almost couldn't catch it and choked on a few mouthfuls of water.
At this point, I couldn't tell the reason for hiding, so I had to swim to the surface and pretend to be calm and go ashore. There was silence all around, and they were dumbfounded.
I said calmly: "His Royal Highness Gongzi was rude, and I fell into the pool with one thing, so I went into the water to find it." โ
His shoulders were warm, a cloak was covered, and his warm palms were warm.
"What, so important?" he asked, earnestly.
I replied a little frustratedly: "If you can't find it, let it go, no matter how important it is, you can't find it." โ
His face froze slightly, he was stunned, and helped me up again: "I'll send you back to the house to don't catch a cold." โ
"Go back to the house?" I felt relieved as if I had heard the pardon order, and I couldn't help blurting out, "Yes, it's better for the concubine to go back by herself, and she will retire first." โ
The steps were involuntarily a little hasty, and I had just taken a few steps, but I heard him suddenly call out to me again: "Ziyu." โ
His soft voice made me shudder, and I was stunned and froze in place. Is he about to pronounce a sentence?
For a long time he did not speak.
I turned around, tried to keep my composure, and repeated again, "Your Highness, if it's okay, I'll retire first." โ
His body stiffened slightly, closed his half-open lips and nodded, his eyes were slightly cold, and his cheeks were a little pale in the mottled shadows of the trees.
He didn't mention me anymore, and I didn't bother to think about why he looked like this, so I wanted to leave as soon as possible.
All the way in a trance, in a hurry, a touch of green clothes came into view.
It was still that familiar face, but I couldn't read his expression clearly, and he didn't ask why I was so wolf, as if he knew everything.
"Go back to the house, don't blow the wind. โ
Zhang Liang just took my hand and gently urged me to take me to the house. The hot water on one side was ready, and the hot and humid steam mist made my eyes more and more foggy. He saw the farce of falling into the water, why did he just watch from the sidelines?
"Yun'er, take a good hot bath, I'll go out first. โ
I was still sitting, my body trembling slightly, cold and tired, but I couldn't resist my concern for the answer.
"Ofan, sue me, what did Fusu say to you?"
