Chapter 22: The Nine Shadows of the Princess
Shanggongtai was moved by the dancing king, and Ma Weipo raised his sword to kill himself, and he didn't ask about the past.
She thought she had let go of the past, forgetting the man who loved to watch her dance, the man who had brought herself into heaven with her own hands and suddenly pushed down the clouds.
The moment she killed herself, she had forgotten how she was feeling at that time, and she couldn't even remember it for a long time, let alone how she got here.
But looking at the young man's blue eyes, a picture suddenly appeared in the woman's mind.
A monk took a picture scroll across the ocean to travel through time and space to another island, and rebuilt a Daming Palace on this island, until the monk died, the beauty picture hanging in the Daming Palace is still not unusual.
The monk looked at the woman in the picture, and a chuckle tugged at the corner of his mouth, as if he could look at her portrait and was already very satisfied.
She is not a concubine, just a touch of incense in the painting, the treasure is real, the painting is also real, and the entire Daming Palace is also real.
She lives in a Daming palace built by monks, but she has been thinking about another person.
Suddenly, the beauty wept, and there was a bleak beauty.
In the next moment, the woman in red in the Daming Palace disappeared, and the people who looked at the glittering treasure were dazzled.
Lan Xi glanced at the people who were still asleep, and turned to look at Li Xiangqing behind him, "These people ......"
Li Xiangqing smiled and said, "They will wake up, and now these treasures are yours." β
Lan Xi just bent the corners of his lips and looked up at the entire Daming Palace, but he felt extremely empty.
My father once said that Li Guo is a very beautiful and magical place, and its beauty lies not only in the natural scenery, but also in the beautiful women, beautiful words, and beautiful stories.
In the story of Li Guo, there are talented and beautiful women, princes and generals, there are heart-wrenching Biansai who fought to defend the family and defend the country, and there are also women's heartbroken tenderness, which makes people have endless aftertaste.
At this moment, he seemed to understand something, but only a little, as he saw in the last moment of relief in the woman's eyes.
The dazzling array of gold and silver treasures turned out to be boring.
After taking two steps, he picked up the treasure on the ground and checked it, and suddenly grinned, "No matter how boring it is, it is a unique good thing at this time!"
Li Xiangqing smiled, and he could feel more of a real presence around this occasional philistine boy.
The sea breeze blew the girl's long hair, sticking to her face, Jiang Yuanxi looked at the soul floating from the sea, a very beautiful woman, wearing a general costume from the beginning, but it was also a little different.
Watching her slowly approach, Jiang Yuanxi's eyes slowly appeared in front of her life.
was originally the daughter-in-law of the Weng family, but now she is Weng's favorite wife, when Li Tang is in the limelight, she is a symbol of prosperity, but when the curtain of prosperity comes to an end, what awaits her is a blood-spattered death.
is such an infatuated lover, who took her only remaining fragrance soul across the ocean and built a Daming Palace, but after all, she did not wait for the moment when she woke up.
The reason why Jiang Yuanxi appeared on the beach was that she had some premonitions about what was going to happen, and when she saw a woman, Jiang Yuanxi was not surprised, but she was surprised that what made her let go of her obsession and leave the Daming Palace.
There was never any tie there, and the only thing that bound her was the nostalgia for the former owner of the Daming Palace.
"Who are you, and why am I here?" Obviously, the concubine was very confused and curious about what she had experienced, and even wary of the girl in front of her, because she felt that this girl was not a simple child.
Such a question turned out to be somewhat familiar, Jiang Yuanxi vaguely remembered that he seemed to have asked it too, when Bi Luohai had just woken up.
It's just that the person next to me at that time was Li Xiangqing. For Li Xiangqing, she has an indescribable feeling, obviously he is also very gentle and takes care of himself, but he always wants to stay away from him. It seems that this is the only way to be safer.
"This is Philo City, I'm ...... Jiang Yuanxi. Jiang Yuanxi wanted to say that she was a human god, but when she thought of DeWitt's words, she couldn't say those two words.
If everything you see is false, then what is you?
Is it an accomplice or one of the culprits?
Jiang Yuanxi didn't know, so she was also struggling with where to send the woman.
True or not, she felt she shouldn't have done that.
Time passed minute by minute, and the concubine only felt that this girl was very strange, she was struggling, but what was she struggling with?
"Jiang Yuanxi?" the concubine looked at Philo City in the distance, such a style of architecture is clearly only available to foreigners, but this girl is clearly from the Li country, and her Li country dialect is very authentic.
"Is there any place you want to go?" Jiang Yuanxi asked, thinking about it, she still felt that it was better to let this woman decide for herself.
Whether it is painful memories or the monk who accompanied her to death, it was her own choice.
"I can go wherever I want?" asked the concubine with a chuckle, as if she thought that the girl did not understand anything, and that she would say this only because she was young and ignorant.
If you can really go wherever you want, how can you be trapped in Daming Palace for many years?
However, if she really could, she really wanted to go to the peony garden to take another look.
"Do you want to go to Luoyang Peony Garden?" Jiang Yuanxi suddenly spoke, frightening the concubine, "You...... Can you hear me thinking?"
Jiang Yuanxi looked at her, her eyes were calm, such eyes looked like a ten-year-old girl, and compared to it, she was more like an old woman who had gone through vicissitudes.
"It's not strange to know what you're thinking, but why don't you go to the White Horse Temple, where you first met the monks?" Jiang Yuanxi asked.
The concubine has never seen such a person, whether it is in Li Tang or on that island, her questions are too straightforward, and the straightforwardness is ridiculous, but at the same time she is also a little trance, when she first entered the palace, she was so naΓ―ve and open-mouthed.
White Horse Temple, is the royal temple of Li Tang, she was fortunate to follow her mother to the temple to incense before she got married, it was there that she met the little novice, at that time the little novice was a few years younger than herself, because she couldn't memorize the scriptures and was ridiculed and excluded by the senior brothers, she could only hide in the corner and cry secretly.
The girl felt that the novice was very pitiful, so she stepped forward and said a few words of comfort, but she never thought that it was the little novice who risked his life to take away the portrait that the painter had made for herself.
If this is not the case, he can still be the presiding officer of the White Horse Temple and be his enlightened monk.
"What you miss is what you miss, and no matter how sorry you are, it will be useless after all. The concubine said softly, with a helpless sadness.
Jiang Yuanxi looked at the flatness in her eyes, and didn't understand why that person had done so much for her, but she was so cold.
"That's you...... Like him?" Jiang Yuanxi was puzzled, and he was still a little uncomfortable when he said those two words.
Like, this word seems to be very far away from her, maybe she will like it, just like she is used to staying by De Witt's side, but she doesn't have the concubine's feelings for that man, and Mr. Mu San's feelings for that actor.
"Hmm. β
"What kind of feeling is that?" Jiang Yuanxi asked, his eyes were sincere, as if he was just simply curious, wanting to explore, without a trace of impurities.
The concubine thought about it and recalled her days in Daming Palace, "That is, he makes you feel that you are the best in the world, and when you are with him, you are really happy." β
Jiang Yuanxi blinked, "It's really that simple?"
The concubine couldn't help laughing, looking at this innocent and ignorant girl who suddenly changed, ten years old is the best time for a girl, she doesn't have to think about anything, she doesn't have to worry about anything, she can snuggle up under her parents' knees, and someone will shelter herself from the wind and rain when the sky falls.
"Actually, the emperor's love is nothing more than that, even if he likes someone again, there will be three thousand harem beauties, and he will ......"
Going to other people, the so-called favor is just more coming, and what he did to make the beauty laugh is a little ridiculous.
The concubine in the back didn't say it, because in her opinion, no matter how old the girl is, she doesn't need to know the ones behind her, her future is still bright, and she should have expectations for her future life.
Jiang Yuanxi heard the sadness in the words, but it didn't seem to be like what a person who favored the sixth palace said, and she saw the jealousy of those women, the laughter between her and the king.
At that moment, she could feel the woman's heart, which was unfamiliar to her, but it would make the whole body and mind feel excited, and the blood in the body was boiling.
I want to be with that person until I am old, and at the moment of death, this voice and belief are becoming stronger and stronger.
"Since you want to go to the Peony Garden, let's go to the Peony Garden. Jiang Yuanxi lowered his eyes and smiled faintly, "If I have the opportunity, I also want to see the peony in the garden with my own eyes." β
The concubine was slightly stunned, and before she could speak, the next moment a gust of wind blew, and the whole person went to another place where the peony flowers bloomed.
It's just that she didn't stay at the place where the peony bloomed at its peak, but slowly walked along a path to a secluded place, where the clear spring flowed, the branches shook gently, and a begonia white tree bloomed quietly in the secluded place.
Perhaps few people know that there is such a begonia in this peony garden, which was planted by the man himself among the flowers, although there is only such a plant, but it is enough.
ββββ
Jiang Yuanxi sat on the dock, she didn't bother with the time she had forgotten, and she didn't think about why she felt a little uncomfortable every time she got along with Li Xiangqing, but there was no way not to be curious about the strange mood of the beauty at that moment.
What is that? Is that what love is?
Everyone who came here to look for her, she would see their past, but in each person's story, what she felt was the mood of different people, Mu San's ambition, and the infatuation of the concubine, all shocked her.
It turns out that a person's life can be so turbulent, magnificent and wonderful.
Suddenly, the sea beneath my feet suddenly rippled, bubbling like boiling water in a pot. And the speed and the shape of the bubble are getting bigger and bigger, Jiang Yuanxi put away his feet hanging on the sea, stood up and looked at the scene under the sea.
It was pitch black, no longer the surface of the water where she could see what was at the bottom of the ocean with just a glance.
What's going on?
Jiang Yuanxi was puzzled, and a head appeared under the water, which was a woman, a woman in black.
looked a few years older than himself, but after only one glance at the woman's eyes, Jiang Yuanxi felt cold all over his body.
She couldn't see the woman's past, but she could feel the hatred and anger in her heart.
"Interesting, you actually ended up here?" the woman seemed to know her, Jiang Yuanxi looked confused, "You know me?"
"The human god, the new human god, the one I knew before, is much smarter than you. The woman's eyes were contemptuous and disdainful.
Jiang Yuanxi was not annoyed, just tilted his head, looked at her, and then chuckled, "Who are you? Why did you come out of the sea? You, you shouldn't be from the sea." β
The woman looked at her, stared at her for a moment, and then smiled playfully, "The eyesight is good, but this is not your own credit, the sea god Jialan, who handed over the power of the sea spirit to you, I don't know if the brain is broken, it is not good to choose someone, choose a useless thing." β
Jiang Yuanxi's face was still calm, not angry or annoyed, and he seemed to be more interested in this woman.
"You're right, I think I'm pretty useless. But even if it's useless, I won't be hunted down, the main thing is that I'm not as embarrassed as you. β
"You're looking for death!" The woman just raised her hand, but she seemed to remember something, and the black mist that appeared in her palm suddenly disappeared, and she sneered,
"It's just a dog in the sky, if it weren't for the power of Hailing Jialan, do you think you can live so comfortably?"
Jiang Yuanxi was still indifferent, not calm and steady, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with her words.
"Yes, then you still dare to appear in front of me, aren't you afraid that I will send you to Biluohai?" Jiang Yuanxi blinked, his eyes innocent.
But the woman who looked at it was stunned, Jiuyou didn't even know what to say, she had a relationship with Lingyun, and she also knew some of the things she did, so she had a good impression of this newcomer who replaced her, but she didn't expect that this girl who had lost all her memories and love would have a trace of pity.
"Cut!" Jiuyou glanced at her, turned and walked in the direction of Philo City.
It's just that she didn't expect the girl to follow, and coldly admonished, "What do you want to do?
Jiang Yuanxi shook his head, "No, it won't do me any good to send you in to invite pets, I'm more curious about who you are." β
Jiuyou sneered, "The princess of the underworld, Jiuyou." β
"The underworld?" Jiang Yuanxi was stunned, "What is that? Is it at the bottom of the sea? Why have I never seen it?"
Jiuyou glanced at her and said lightly, "Normal people in the underworld will only go after death, and what they accept is the soul of a human being, some people have been left in the underworld, and some people can be reincarnated and transferred to the next life." The form of existence of the underworld is different in each place, and I don't know what you, a Li national, are wandering around in this time and space. β
