Chapter 85: The Death of the Shrine Maiden (1)
Qi Yan's mission target this time is named Yun Qiyan, who is the only daughter of Yun Xuanming, the former city lord of Flame City. Fifteen years ago, Yun Xuanming was still the beloved city lord of Flame City, he was well-read, talented, and very considerate of the people, so in Flame City, the people only knew Yun Xuanming, but did not know the royal family in the capital, which made the royal family very unhappy.
It just so happened that one time, the prince of a neighboring country passed through Yancheng, was attacked in Yancheng, was seriously injured, and when his life was hanging by a thread, it was Yun Xuanming who saved him, but soon after, the neighboring country launched an attack on Daxing, and it was the prince who was saved by Yun Xuanming who led the troops. Therefore, Yun Xuanming's original rescue was described as treason and collaboration with the enemy, and the royal family had long had opinions on Yun Xuanming, so they took this opportunity to convict his family.
Yun Xuanming naturally disobeyed, and after explaining to the royal family to no avail, Yun Xuanming and the people of Yancheng began to resist the royal family to the death. Originally, Yun Xuanming thought that if he died, he could exchange for the safety of the people of Flame City, so he was willing to die, but the people of Flame City thought that they should live and die with the Yun family, not to mention, Yun Xuanming's wife Lin was already pregnant for nine months.
But after all, his arms couldn't twist his thighs, and the little Flame City was not the opponent of the royal family at all, after the Flame City was breached, Yun Xuanming stood on the city tower to die, and his subordinates escorted the Lin family out of Flame City and went to the capital. On the way to the capital, Lin was pursued by the pursuers, and the escorts desperately protected her to escape, and she died under the knife of the pursuers. The Lin family is just a weak woman, and she is pregnant at this time, where can she escape far. And after tossing for so long, Lin felt that he was getting more and more uncomfortable, and his stomach was getting heavier and heavier. She walked into a temple and begged the gods in the temple to give her child a way to live, perhaps the god heard her request, and Lin gave birth to a baby girl in the temple that night, but Lin only had time to look at the child and closed his eyes forever.
A day later, the baby girl was found by a passing couple, who buried the Lin family and took the baby girl to the capital, and they did not tell anyone about it, but adopted the baby girl as their newly lost daughter.
The baby girl was named Qiyan and followed her adoptive father's surname Wu. Miao Qiyan's adoptive parents treat her very well, no one can see that she is not the biological daughter of her parents, and her adoptive parents also have a son, who is seven years older than Wu Qiyan, and takes great care of Wu Qiyan, and Wu Qiyan also likes this brother very much.
Since then, Wu Qiyan has started a carefree life, the Wu family is not a rich and noble family, but the Wu family husband and wife can be said to be responsive to Wu Qiyan's needs, especially Wu Qiyan has been smart and cute since she was a child, and the Wu family couple don't know how much they love her, and even the Wu family's son Wu Chen has to stand aside. However, Wu Chen is seven years older than Wu Qiyan, and he is already sensible, so not only does he not mind, but he also loves this sister very much, even if he knows that she is not his own sister, but he has always been very good to him.
Maybe too many people doted on Wu Qiyan, so she gradually grew up, but she developed an arrogant and unruly appearance, and learned a few tricks of three-legged cat skills to learn to fight against others, but she was beaten half to death before being carried back by Wu Chen. The woman disguised herself as a man and went to play in the Qinglou, deliberately flirting with the woman in the Qinglou but was discovered her true identity, and since then it has become a joke in the capital. There is no one in the capital who doesn't know that the daughter of the Wu family doesn't know how to learn and can't do anything, and she is a straw bag who doesn't know anything but loves to get into trouble.
Although the parents of the Wu family were very worried, every time Wu Qiyan pretended to be pitiful in front of them, they immediately relented, and they couldn't teach Wu Qiyan a lesson at all. So Wu Qiyan's life is not to mention how comfortable it is, she can do whatever she wants, and she feels uncomfortable if she doesn't go out to fight with people every day.
This situation lasted until Wu Qiyan was a teenager, when she got acquainted with Gong Jia, Gong Jia and Wu Qiyan are two diametrically opposed people, but they became friends by chance, although Gong Jia is everyone's girlfriend, but she admires Wu Qiyan's dare to love and hate, Wu Qiyan often goes in and out of Gong's house and becomes a frequent visitor to Gong's house. One day, Wu Qiyan went to Gong's house to look for Gong Jia as usual, but happened to meet the then crown prince Zhao Jia. Zhao Frame went to Gong's Mansion to study with Old Lady Gong, so he wanted to live in Gong's Mansion for a long time, so during this time, Wu Qiyan and Gong Jia gradually became familiar with Zhao Frame. And as they grow older, an inexplicable affection begins to develop between teenagers and girls.
Wu Qiyan felt that she liked Zhao Frame, because she was willing to wear those complicated and dragging long dresses for Zhao Frame, and she also went to learn how to dress herself from Gong Jia. Gong Jia instigated her to go to Zhao Frame to confess, but Wu Qiyan, who had always been cheerful, didn't dare to go this time, still facing Zhao Frame on the surface, but silently liking him in her heart. At this time, Zhao Frame was only a half-grown child, although he always wrote articles seriously in front of Mr., but when Mr. was away, he regained his monkey-like nature, and jumped up and down with Wu Qiyan, making Gongfu a miasma, but although the two looked very disgusted with each other, they would not leave each other if there was really anything.
Wu Qiyan broke the things of the Gong family many times, and Zhao Frame carried the black pot for her, because he was the crown prince, and no one dared to blame him. Wu Qiyan likes his smile as bright as the sun, likes his strict and serious reading, likes his talent when he talks about national affairs, and likes the rare gentle corners of his mouth when he solves difficulties for her...... In short, the longer the time, the deeper Wu Qiyan felt that she loved Zhao Frame, Gong Jia took her hand every time and persuaded her to take care of it, what if she couldn't be with Zhao Frame?
Gong Jia and Wu Qiyan were born in the same day, and they were both in the evening, that night, the starfire illuminated the night sky like day, and was regarded by the people as a detailed omen of the arrival of the witch, so the girls born at that time could be witches. Shrine maidens cannot be emotional, and they can never marry.
Wu Qiyan always thought that it would not be so coincidental, her parents were just ordinary people, and she was like a wild boy, everyone didn't like her, how could she be a witch? If she were a shrine maiden, the people wouldn't be able to accept it, right? Wu Qiyan still fell deeper and deeper into Zhao Frame with a fluke mentality, until the first menarche came...... A phoenix pattern grew on her back, a small lump, a little blurry but recognizable if you looked closely.
Gong Jia took the mirror and showed it to Wu Qiyan, who cried for the first time since Wu Qiyan was sensible. Gong Jia didn't know how to comfort her, in fact, becoming a witch was something that many girls dream of, although they lost their freedom, but they would be admired by all the people, which not everyone can do. But Wu Qiyan has someone she likes, if she becomes a witch, the secret in her heart can no longer be said.
When Wu Qiyan was sad about her love, something happened to the Gong family. Father Gong and Mrs. Gong were framed and imprisoned because they offended the powerful, and they were convicted of capital crimes not long after, and there was almost no possibility of coming out again. There are not many Gong family members, after Gong's father and Mrs. Gong were arrested, the Gong family was in a mess, and several female relatives of the Gong family even made a fuss about dying and were stopped by Gong Jia, but the Gong family was still desperate.
The crown prince Zhao Frame was recalled to the palace and wanted to intercede for the Gong family but was locked up. The Gong family was originally in a catastrophe, but Wu Qiyan didn't want the Gong family to suffer this hardship, and originally wanted to use the identity of the witch to help her, but the witch could not participate in politics, unless it was the witch's family, she could be rewarded for raising the witch...... Thinking of this, Wu Qiyan and Gong Jia made a bold decision.
Wu Qiyan will tell her brother Wu Chen at this time, Wu Chen has always responded to her needs, and Wu Chen does not want Wu Qiyan to become a witch, so he personally tattooed a phoenix pattern on the back of the Gong family, and then used a special drug to cover the pattern on Wu Qiyan's back.
Gong Jia was taken away by the royal family, and the sorcerers of the temple came to check his body. The pattern on the back of each witch is actually not the same, and there is a miracle in the temple when the witch is born, that is, the phoenix pattern on the next witch, as long as the contrast pattern is consistent, then it is undoubtedly a witch. The pattern on Gong Jia's body is according to Wu Qiyan's tattoo, so naturally there will be no mistakes, so Gong Jia's identity was confirmed, and he entered the temple after the ceremony, and Gong Jia's father and grandfather were also released, and even reinstated.
And after this incident, Wu Qiyan became even more determined to marry Zhao Jiao, anyway, she is no longer a witch, and there is nothing wrong with marrying, but Wu Qiyan's identity is not enough for her to marry into the royal family and marry the future king.
Gong Jia knew Wu Qiyan's wishes, and she was also very grateful to Wu Qiyan for helping her, so she took advantage of Zhao Frame's arrival at the temple to have a long talk with him, and also informed Wu Qiyan of her feelings for him, but what Gong Jia didn't expect was that what Zhao Frame liked was not Wu Qiyan, who had always been close to him, but always smiling and watching them play on the side. Gong Jia begged Zhao Jia not to think of Wu Qiyan, and hoped that he could take good care of Wu Qiyan, Zhao Jia knew that it was impossible to be with Gong Jia in this life, so he agreed to Gong Jia's request and married Wu Qiyan.
Wu Qiyan didn't know about this matter, and was ecstatic that Zhao Frame asked to marry her. Although the people of the royal family were opposed, Zhao Frame had a firm attitude and chose to leave his marriage to the gods to decide. The so-called god's choice is actually to let the witch communicate with the gods and ask the gods if this marriage is okay. Gong Jia naturally had no way to communicate with the gods, but others couldn't see it, and after she pretended to be a good match, she told everyone that Zhao Frame and Wu Qiyan were a match made in heaven.
So a year later, Wu Qiyan married into the royal family and married Zhao Frame, at this time Zhao Frame had ascended the throne as the emperor, because the first emperor made Xian, and he chose to travel to cultivate immortals. Most of the emperors of the Daxing Dynasty are like this, and they will not come back in the future, and the people think that they have probably become immortals.
When Qi Yan entered the task, it was when Wu Qiyan married Zhao Frame, it was already the middle of the night, Qi Yan was sitting alone in the new room, waiting for the arrival of the groom, but Qi Yan, who had the memory of Wu Qiyan's previous life, already knew that the groom would not appear tonight.
