The word "ghost" could barely be uttered, and the Protector Mage, who had been quiet and peaceful, suddenly raised his hand and made a stop gesture at me.

My words choked in my throat at once.

It's-

She looked at me, her gaze no longer solemn, but flickered slightly, and when she met my puzzled gaze, she lowered her head, felt something out of her sleeve, and slowly handed it to me.

"Your Highness's noble status, from the day you was born, the evil ghosts and rakshasas around you are indispensable, but Your Highness can go to this day safely, and it is also Your Highness's means and bearing are extraordinary. The poor nuns couldn't do anything else for His Highness, so they specially prepared a peace charm to eliminate the disaster for His Highness. If Your Highness doesn't dislike it, please accept it. ”

“……”

I looked at the delicately folded peace charm in her hand, and subconsciously frowned.

What do you mean?

I wanted to ask her about that "ghost", but she gave me a peace charm?

The Protector looked at me with a smile and took the peace charm closer: "Your Highness, please accept it." ”

“……”

I looked at the peace charm in silence, looked up at her flickering gaze, and finally slowly reached out and took it, and the protector immediately smiled softly.

I twisted the peace charm in my fingertips, and I had a little taste of it.

She knew what I wanted to ask, but she didn't want to talk to me about that ghost at this time.

The reason - probably just like she said just now that she didn't want to mess with too much red dust, although the conversation between the two of us seems to be very comfortable now, I asked her to answer, but I believe that there must be Pei Yuanhao's people guarding outside this matching hall, and our words may not be able to reach his ears every word, but if it should not be said, the protector will definitely not say it.

So, right now, this talisman --

I glanced down and didn't say anything, just slowly gathered my fingers and squeezed the peace charm in my palm.

I said before that there were many things I wanted to ask her, and I wanted her to answer my questions, and the answer she gave me was "try to do my best", not "know everything, say everything", it seems that this is what she can't answer as much as possible.

That "ghost".

My heart sank slightly, could it be that the matter of this "ghost" is more important than the identity of my mother, and it is more important to hide it from the emperor of the dynasty?

My heart became more and more suspicious, and I didn't dare to ask again at this time, after all, she knew more about the darkness and danger in this imperial city than I did, and if I couldn't even touch her, of course I couldn't resist it.

So, I said softly, "Thank you, Master. ”

She smiled and slowly straightened up, I also stood up, and she said again: "By the way, Miss Yan, Poor Ni heard that Miss Yan once mentioned in front of the civil and military officials that Xichuan now intends to be friendly with the imperial court, is it true?" ”

I don't know why she asked about this again, and I nodded, "Of course it's true." ”

"Since that's the case, will Miss Yan have a trip back to Sichuan in the near future?"

"......" I was stunned for a moment.

Actually, this matter has always been planned in my heart, but because of Miaoyan's illness, it has been delayed again and again until today, what does she mean by suddenly mentioning this?

I subconsciously smiled and said, "Does the mage want to walk with me?" ”

"Naturally not," she said with a smile, "Poor Ni knows that Miss Yan has this itinerary, so it's fine." ”

As she spoke, she glanced at the peace charm in my hand again.

I vaguely understood something, and nodded gently at her.

This time, both of them fell silent.

What should be said has been said, what can't be said, and now is not the time to speak, so I should go......

I hesitated for a moment, glanced back at the huge tablet that belonged to my mother, and finally knelt on the futon again, bowing to the tablet three times and nine times.

The Protector stood behind me, looked at me like this, and said softly: "Miss Yan's filial piety, Her Royal Highness Princess Zhenguo will definitely understand." ”

I knelt on the futon, looked at the damage and cracks on the tablet, and said softly, "Mother's tablet has been damaged like this, why don't you repair it?" ”

The Protector smiled faintly and said, "Miss Yan, no one dares to touch such a tablet now. ”

“……”

I was silent, and after a long time, I gently reached out and stroked the mottled handwriting and cracks on the tablet, and finally sighed softly.

The tablet of the princess of Zhenguo in the former dynasty is indeed rarely touched.

If I have the opportunity, I still have to go back to Xichuan and find my mother's spiritual position.

Then, I slowly stood up and gave a long bow to the Protector, "Thank you, Master." ”

She looked at me with a smile: "I hope Miss Yan will have a safe road in the future." ”

……

After saying this, she didn't speak again, but heard a very light footsteps outside, stopped at a distance from the door, and after a while, she heard one of her monks walking to the door and said softly: "Master, His Majesty the Emperor has sent someone to ask." ”

The Protector said softly, "Let's go." ”

I nodded silently, and walked out with her, as soon as I went out, I felt a cold wind hit my face, making me feel dizzy, and I almost couldn't stand on my feet - I listened to the first half of my mother's life here, as if I fell into the whirlpool of memories, and at this moment I came out, facing a real earthly world, and there was a feeling of being in a different world, the original qiē was not what I knew, and even myself was not the me I thought I was.

The world is really impermanent.

I stood on the steps, looking at the monks and soldiers standing still like stone sculptures outside, as well as the flags flying in the air in the distance, I was a little panicked, and I looked at it, standing not far away, Xiaofuzi was looking at me cautiously, it seemed that he had just come to ask.

The Protector turned to me and said, "Miss Yan, please go back to Princess Miaoyan's side." The child must hope to rely on his mother to get through his own difficulties. ”

I said softly, "Thank you, Master. ”

After speaking, the two of them put their hands together and saluted, and I walked down, and Xiaofuzi hurriedly greeted me and walked with me to the apse.

At this time, I realized that it was not early, and I felt like I had entered a deep mountain, and it was a day in the mountain, and it had been a thousand years in the world, and the chaotic thoughts made me more and more confused.

After a while, when I reached the door of the apse, I remembered, "Is Miao Yan awake?" ”

Before Xiaofuzi could speak, the door had already opened from the inside.

I raised my head and saw Pei Yuanhao standing inside, holding the door with both hands, looking at me calmly: "She hasn't woken up yet." ”

“……”

When I saw him suddenly, my breathing stopped.

His eyes flickered slightly, but after saying that, he didn't say anything, just glanced at Xiao Fuzi, who immediately came to his senses and said loudly: "Drive back to the palace!" ”

……

Our group quickly walked out of the temple, and when we walked to the wide square in front of us, I subconsciously glanced back, and on the side of the side hall, those monks and soldiers were still standing quietly, leaning over and saluting the emperor's luan. Pei Yuanhao only glanced at them lightly.

|

We returned to the Royal Palace.

Pei Yuanhao didn't discuss with me, and he didn't say a word on the way, after entering the palace, he directly took a team of people back to his dormitory, I followed Miaoyan all the way, and I followed it like this, until I walked into his dormitory, and saw Xiaofuzi put Miaoyan on the bed, and then exited one by one, and then came back to my senses in a trance.

I'm at his bedchamber again.

It seems that it has been like this several times before, Miao Yan has been sent here after practicing the method of conjuring spirits, and I have also come here to wait for her to wake up, but this time, the feeling is a little different.

He was silent and didn't look at me, but whenever I turned my back, I always felt a gaze fall on me, like a touch and a temperature, which made my heart shudder.

At this time, the last little fuzi retreated.

The door creaked shut.

I was originally sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the wonderful words that had been sleeping peacefully with my eyes closed, and the somewhat dull sound of closing the door made me tremble slightly, and before I could react, I felt the dark shadow in front of me slowly approaching, and when I looked up, Pei Yuanhao had already walked in front of me.

He was expressionless, there was not even any warmth on his face, he just looked at me condescendingly.

I subconsciously said, "Your Majesty, do you have anything to tell me?" ”

He looked at me, "Don't you have anything to tell me?" ”

“……”

Indeed, I should have spoken.

It was I who went to see the Protector, it was I who listened to those things, it was I who I knew my mother's identity and my own background, and it should be me who wanted to speak.

But—I don't know what I'm supposed to say to him.

Sure enough, he smiled faintly, and there was a little coldness in his smile: "What, I don't know what to say to me?" ”

“……”

"Or, are you afraid of my reaction after what you say?"

“……”

I looked at him and fell silent again.

After a long silence, I shook my head gently.

Fear? I don't know if I should be afraid, but from the moment he promised me to go see the Protector, I didn't have to be afraid, he didn't kill me, and he didn't want to kill me.

However, my identity is unusual after all.

In the past, I hid my identity as the eldest lady of the Yan family, just in exchange for a lifetime of peace, after being revealed, it brought a lot of convenience, but there was little trouble.

But now, my identity is not even as simple as the eldest lady of the Yan family, but the orphan of the former dynasty that the dynasty hated the most, and the most unstable factor.

He didn't have me, he didn't want to kill me.

But what will he do to me?
