Chapter 55: The Approaching Heart
Ming Chongyan gritted his teeth and rattled, "I'm not convinced." What can't I do? Since Bai Ze has already let me peek into the door of the strength of the force, why don't you let me reach the peak? So, when I returned Bai Zetu, I secretly memorized the spell. That spell is about how to bring the dead back to life.
He wrote very profoundly, and with the wisdom of my time, I can only remember approximately. Just in time for a massive plague in my hometown that year, I gathered the dead together and performed a resurrection ritual on them, according to the method I remembered. The essence of that scroll is the words 'death and life are mutually restrictive', isn't it natural to fight death with longevity? But I never expected that the spell would open the door to death in my body, and thousands of dead qi passed through my body. As a result, I turned them all into unconscious walking corpses, and I myself became the living dead. ”
Saying that, he turned his head and said lightly to Wu Mei, "That's right." I used to be the living dead. ”
"Once ......" Wu Mei was worthy of being well-informed, and she did not scream and lose her voice. It's not that she's not afraid of monsters, but that strange emotion called love allows her to ignore any flaws in this man, including not being alive.
Ming Chongyan saw her reaction, a trace of relief appeared on his face, and he laughed self-deprecatingly: "Later, Bai Ze arrived in time, naturally eliminated these monsters, and at the same time sealed my strength, gave me up, left me, and left by myself." He didn't expect me to live as a living dead and be treated inhumanely, it would be better to be dead. My mother even wanted to strangle me herself. But I obviously didn't do anything bad, I paid for my life to save people! ”
He trembled with excitement, Wu Mei clenched his hand tightly with tears in her eyes, and kept whispering, "I understand you, I can understand." ”
Ming Chongyan couldn't help but hug her tightly when he heard this, and heard her choke up and say: "How could I not have been prejudiced by the world for decades by a prophecy of 'Empress Chang'?" So, no one in the world understands you better than I do. She said everything from the bottom of her heart, and the two of them felt closer than ever.
After a long time, Ming Chongyan calmed down and continued: "Later. I heard that when Bai Ze rushed to Chang'an, Li Shimin was already dead. He did not complete the mission given to him by God, but he found his heir, and after teaching him Bai Zetu, he went back to the fairy world. At first, I thought this heir was Li Chunfeng, but I didn't expect it to be Tang Ying, who was also young. ”
Wu Mei was amazed when she heard this. She always thought that Tang Ying's strength came from Li Chunfeng, but she didn't expect it to be the true inheritance of God. So, does her unique ability of prediction also come from Bai Ze?
Ming Chongyan didn't notice her contemplation, but continued: "My jealousy and resentment naturally don't need to be explained. From now on, I am determined to become a generation of Ming Jun, let Bai Ze surrender to my feet according to the mandate of heaven, and admit his mistake of giving up on me back then. So, as you can see. Since Yuan Tiangang designed to resurrect Li Shimin, I have been marching towards this throne step by step. ”
Wu Mei understood, whether it was Li Zhi or her, no matter who occupied the throne, he would get rid of it without blinking.
She dared to ask, "Why are you telling me?" If you want to get rid of me as soon as I replace the emperor, you shouldn't tell me now. ”
Ming Chongyan said in a calm tone: "Because, I think you already know the Tao." But you're still willing to join forces with me, and in return, I should tell you. ”
Wu Mei smiled for some reason, "This is what it is called, do you want to die clearly?" For some reason, she wasn't scared. I have an inexplicable trust in Ming Chongyan in my heart.
He stroked her hair and said, "No." Because after escaping death from that space, I suddenly changed my mind. ”
"Huh?" Wu Mei was puzzled, propped up her body and looked at him, "You don't want the Tang Dynasty anymore?" ”
Ming Chongyan looked straight at the top of the bed with a strange and satisfied smile on his face, "Mei Niang." I've got what I want, and I don't ...... anymore" He suddenly closed his mouth, smiled slightly, and said, "Forget it, I'll talk about it when I get back." Wait for me to come back. ”
Wu Mei was confused. It sounded like Ming Chongyan no longer wanted to be Ming Jun to make Bai Ze submit, but she didn't know what he was doing to make him change. After all, she was old, and she didn't think about it long before she fell asleep.
Seeing this, Ming Chongyan thoughtfully imprinted a kiss on her forehead, "Sleep." By the time you open your eyes tomorrow, I'll be gone. But don't worry, I'll go back as soon as I go. When I get back, we'll never be separated again. At that time, you will tell me all your stories, one night, two nights, for the rest of your life. ”
"Hmm." When Wu Mei heard this, she felt that she had never been so happy in her life.
She fell into a deep sleep, and when she opened her eyes the next day, she found that the bed was empty again.
The news of Ming Chongyan's return naturally reached the ears of the East Palace and the emperor as soon as possible. Tang Xiang rushed back to the East Palace as if he had woken up from hibernation, and asked Li Xian for specific information.
At the moment of the great enemy, Li Xian no longer made trouble, but reported everything that his eyeliner found to Tang Ying.
Tang Ying didn't say a word, took off all the cumbersome jewelry on his body, changed into a neat night coat, and went to Wu Mei's bedroom to find Ming Chongyan to settle accounts. Li Xian hurriedly grabbed her and told her that Ming Chongyan wanted a place in the center of the city, and he didn't need to startle the snake in front of Wu Mei at all, just go to the new mansion directly.
This time it was Tang Ying's turn to be confused. Ming Chongyan's behavior was like an invitation to her.
Is there any conspiracy? If you wait for Ming Chongyan to make the first move, you may not be so embarrassed. However, she was anxious to know the whereabouts of Li Chunfeng, and she didn't want to wait at all.
Tang Ying tossed and turned on the bed in a night suit, inserting flying needles into all the places on his body that could fit them, and guessed countless possibilities about the yin and yang space in his heart. It's easy to survive until morning, and as soon as I go out, I bump into Li Xian, who is waiting at the door. When she saw the deep dark circles under his eyes, she knew that he must have not slept all night.
So she asked, "Is there anything wrong?" ”
Li Xian's face was embarrassed, "...... I want to go with you. ”
Tang Ying's face was gloomy and terrifying, and she said unceremoniously: "I'm going to go with the embers." The best outcome is that he dies or we die together. If the luck is bad and I don't come back, you remember to resign from the crown prince immediately, and find Wu Mei to ask for exile! ”
Li Xian finally sat on the throne of the crown prince, and when he heard Tang Ying tell him to give up, his lips trembled with anger, "You, what did you suddenly say!" ”
Tang Ying looked at him seriously, "It's not a whim. This is what I agreed with you two years ago to tell you when the dust settles. It's just that I didn't have the determination to die at that time, and today is different. ”
Li Xian hurriedly hugged her tightly, "Then you don't have to go for a long time, there will always be another way." All right? I'm begging you! ”
Tang Ying sighed and patted him lightly on the back, "Let go of me, this is the only thing I have to do in this world." ”
"Ah Ying!" Li Xian hugged her tighter, "You, how can you be ruthless and throw me down!" She pushed him away with one hand, "Xian'er, there is no banquet in the world." It's enough between us. ”
Li Xian blushed and shouted, "But I love you!" ”
