Chapter 30: The Moon Falls and the Pearls Mourn
Back to Yunxi's side, the girl looked like that there was no change, and the empty moon took her who was asleep into her arms, smelling the unique girlish fragrance on her body, feeling her truth, but unable to sleep.
In fact, he hasn't been able to sleep every night lately, maybe this is his fate, knowing how dangerous it is to strike again, but he has to go.
It was another sleepless night, the sky should have been full of stars, but for some reason, these two nights were so unknowingly gloomy.
Looking at the sleeping clouds, the empty moon unconsciously touched the girl's face. In the past two days, he has done everything he can to spoil her, cook for her, groom for her, relieve her boredom, play with her, accompany her to watch flowers and the moon, even if he is just looking at her sleeping face like now, he is willing. If he could, how he wished he could spoil her for the rest of his life, and never light up on this day.
But the sky was still almost dawning, and a hint of fish belly white was revealed outside the bedroom window. Kong Yue's eyes were full of clouds and tides, and he finally kissed the girl's pink lips, and he had to let go after a long time. He changed into a black night suit and a black scarf, and on his lonely figure, there was deep attachment and reluctance in his mature and sharp eyes.
A ray of sunlight shone in the early morning, and Princess Xi was lying on the bed, her eyes closed, and a line of tears slipped down her face. It's not that she doesn't feel that Tianyue has been overly spoiled by her in the past two days, but she can see the deep reluctance hidden in his eyes. He watched her all night last night, in fact, she was awake all the time, but he couldn't bear to worry about it, and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. Until he left, she didn't dare to open her eyes, for fear that she would never see her again in her eyes.
Yu'er tapped the door lightly: "Princess, the palace people have sent a decree, the king ordered you to go to the hunting ground in the western suburbs today, the sedan chair is already waiting outside, and the slave maid serves you to dress up." ”
"I don't have to dress up, I'll change my clothes and come out."
"Yes."
The eyes that were pure and flawless opened, and there were complex emotions in them, most of which were uneasiness and fear, but they had to face it.
The hunting ground in the western suburbs is particularly lively today, and everyone is dressed up in flowers, and they gather together to talk and laugh. The boys and brothers are all in high spirits, waiting to show their strengths, and the scene of laughter and laughter is so unpleasant.
The appearance of a person is incompatible with this qualification. Princess Xi was wearing a white filial piety dress, and her long black and shiny hair that reached her waist was not decorated, only a simple hairpin was held, and there was naturally no makeup on her face. She slowly walked towards the pavilion where King Yun was with an expressionless face, and from a distance, it didn't look like she was going to see the king, but more like going to the funeral.
Princess Xi walked in, like a jade doll without a soul, and didn't look at the princes and officials around her, just bowed slightly to King Yun, and walked to the side by herself without waiting for King Yun to speak.
was originally in a good mood Yun Wang, seeing that such a princess of Xi was so angry that she was about to attack, the prince Yunsu on the side immediately came out to play a round. Yun Su didn't want to come out, but this time his sister Xi was really a little too much, which king could tolerate someone wearing filial piety clothes in front of him, although King Yun would not kill her, but he would definitely not spare her.
"Father, it's rare that you are so happy today, Erchen must hunt a big thing for you, I really want to start soon, Erchen can't wait for his hands to itch."
Faced with his son's deliberate change of topic, King Yun frowned, but with so many people present, he would still give him face. "Okay, then today's hunt has officially begun."
Yun Su, Yun Zhi and some princes of Yun Kingdom were the first to enter the forest to hunt, and not long after, young officials and the sons of some ministers also joined the team. The cheers outside the forest came and went, and many famous ladies waved their handkerchiefs excitedly, just hoping that the sons in the forest could take a look at them more.
Princess Xi hid alone in the corner of the crowd, as if she had nothing to do with this world. She was really scared, and today she didn't wear this filial piety dress for no reason, the departure of the empty moon happened to be a royal hunt, and the helpless girl could only pray silently to the heavens in her heart. But no matter how devout Yunxi is now, what she fears most should have happened has happened.
A large number of black-clothed people suddenly appeared in the royal hunting ground, and I saw that the black-clothed people slowly separated, leaving a path for one person to pass, revealing a leading man with mature and sharp eyes. There was an irresistible domineering aura between his eyebrows at this time, and he held an extremely sharp sword in his hand, drawing a trace of line on the ground. The fierce sharpness in his eyes looked straight at the Cloud King in the pavilion.
Only this time, officers and soldiers soon rushed out and stopped them in the middle of the hunting ground, far away from the pavilion, and moved with the man in black. The men in black rushed forward one by one desperately, wielding a big knife and fighting bloodily, even if they were scratched all over their bodies, they still didn't care. In the face of these outlaws, the officers and soldiers also rose up to attack, one fell, and the other took over, and the scene was out of control.
Those young ladies and nobles are in a mess, especially those who have experienced the prince's birthday banquet, are they really possessed by the king of Hades, how can they encounter a fight anywhere! This time, they will go back to burn incense and worship the Buddha. The shouts, shouts, and cries of the scene were endless, and the crowd was desperately fleeing for their lives, especially on the outskirts of the hunting ground, they wanted to escape, but they were surrounded by a large group of soldiers.
Seeing that the man in black gradually gained the upper hand, he didn't want many hunters with bows and arrows to appear around the hunting ground, and surrounded the entire hunting ground, which was obviously a trap to invite the king into the urn.
Yunxi appeared from the man in black who took the lead, and her eyes didn't leave, ignoring the noise around her and the crowd running around her. Just looked at the man in black, paying attention to everything about him, at this time she only had him in her heart, and she could only see him, walking slowly in his direction.
The blood began to blur in front of his eyes, this was a naked slaughter, watching the people in black being shot by arrows one by one, the blades falling to the ground at will, and the blood flowing out unscrupulously. Even if they are dead, they are still protecting their leader, their master, with that flesh and blood.
The black-clothed man was already surrounded by corpses, the breath of the living gradually decreased, and the number of living people gradually decreased. On the left hand side of the man in black who took the lead, a man in black had an arrow stuck in his right arm, but with his unskilled left hand, he desperately chopped the scissors in front of him, protecting his master, with a hideous face. The man in black to his right roared loudly, and blood flowed from the corners of his eyes and mouth.
The man in black who took the lead threw away the sword in his hand, took out a defective bead from his bosom, which was not even a fake, and squeezed it tightly in his hand. Those mature and sharp eyes saw the cloud tide slowly approaching him, he looked at her, shaking his head desperately, but the despair in his eyes was not as good as the concern for her.
The girl looked at him and smiled, and continued to walk towards him with a clean and clear smile, an arrow stuck straight in front of the girl, almost killing the girl, but still could not stop her footsteps.
Yun Zhi, who rushed back, saw the scene in front of him, especially the lifeless Yun Xi, he wanted to go up and grab her, but was desperately stopped by Li Yi, Yun Zhi called "Xi'er" like crazy.
But the girl didn't look at him at all, and now she only had the moon that belonged to her in her eyes, ignoring the sword rain that shot at the man in black, and continued to get closer to her, seeing that she was getting closer and closer to him. Suddenly, the girl was held in the arms of a person, and it was the prince Yunsu.
Yun Su, who has always been gentle and elegant, never thought that Yun Xi would be so disregarding his life and death, and all his disguised demeanor was stimulated by the girl in front of him.
"Look at that man, he will die today, and you will never see him again."
Yunxi didn't say anything, desperately trying to break free from Yunsu's embrace, she just looked at the empty moon. Kong Yue kept shaking his head, he didn't want his beloved woman to die for him, he just wanted her to live well. The intertwined gazes of the two people deeply stung the prince who was holding the girl.
"Sister Xi, your parents were killed by my father, your country was destroyed by the Yun Kingdom, you were imprisoned by us for almost seven years, and now you have to watch carefully, the man you love was shot to death by random arrows. You must know that if you die, we will still be the most noble people in this continent, and the Cloud Country will still be the greatest country. You really believe in the nonsense prophecy and are willing to let the people you love the most die in vain. Yun Su deliberately said in Yun Xi's ear, knowing that she no longer cared about life and death, he wanted to give her the motivation to live, even if it was hate.
Hearing Yun Su's words, Yun Xi's eyes dimmed, and the incomparable pain stimulated her heart even more, tears flowed out like a spring, blurring her eyes, but she still tried her best to open her eyes wide, but she no longer struggled.
The girl watched her companions die one by one, and as far as the eye could see, there were corpses all over the field. Heaven and earth seemed to be suddenly too peaceful and quiet, except for the sound of arrows piercing the sky and entering flesh, full of devastation and lifeless despair.
Those unblinking arrows finally pierced into Kongyue's body, one by one, one after another, as if they were shot into her heart, Ling Chi her heart, the pain was indescribable her completely shattered heart that could not be put together.
Her moon always looked at her, her hands were clenched tightly, and her mature and sharp eyes were deeply distressed by the girl, until the end, his eyes never closed, he fell on the group of corpses, and never got up again. Yunxi's heart had already been torn apart, and she couldn't cry anymore when she burst into tears, but she still forced herself to look at everything in front of her.
Until the empty moon they were no longer breathing, until no more arrows were fired, and only miserable people were left in the royal hunting ground, corpses were strewn all over the field, and the heavens and the earth seemed to have lost all their language, and it was quiet and strange. Sometimes people live but are more tired and bitter than they die, and death is not a relief, but the living people have to carry too much.
Everyone didn't expect that at this time, Yunxi would break away from Yunsu and run over to pick up the empty moon in the corpse. She pulled down the black scarf from his face, revealing his delicate handsome face, and kissed his thin lips, which had slowly lost their temperature. One of her small hands secretly opened his clenched fist at the same time, which was the only gift she gave him, the bead, and with his last body temperature, she held it in her hand, her heart hurt for a long time, she had to remember everything today, one day she would make the entire Cloud Kingdom pay.
