Chapter 1: Let's Wrap Up
In the deep night, only a little dim moonlight shone through the window. Mu Xiwan sat in the empty hall, and the night wind blew the light veil up and down.
Today, the enthronement ceremony of Prince Darong was supposed to be held, but it was shelved because of the raid of Beiyan. Prince Feng Chengyi led the troops to resist but was ambushed halfway and forced to evacuate, and the Darong Palace became an isolated city.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Mu Xiwan knew who it was without looking back. That person was so deep in her heart that she remembered even the sound of footsteps.
"You're here." She spoke slowly, her voice ethereal like a cloud that the top of a mountain couldn't grasp.
"Evening, how are you doing? I'm here to take you home. "The person who came was Qi Ke, the former prince of Ping, and now Qi Zhen, the king of Ping, has become the emperor of Beiyan, and Qi Ke has naturally become the prince of Beiyan.
After counting, ten years have passed since she was accepted as a righteous daughter by King Ping......
A low sigh overflowed from his mouth, Mu Xiwan looked back at Qi Ke, her pale face was full of mockery, "It's all come to this point, what else are you playing?" Do you think that until now, I am still the little girl who was coaxed to death by you in a few words? ”
Qi Ke's face froze, he withdrew his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he seemed to be a little surprised, "You know everything?" ”
"Although I am stupid, I am not that stupid, otherwise how could His Royal Highness the Prince of the World send me to Darong to inquire about information?" Mu Xiwan stood up, and the gorgeous skirt shone with her movements.
Emperor Darong died, and it was her husband who succeeded her. But she personally ruined her own glory and Darong's national fortune.
Love was overwhelmed, Mu Xiwan invited himself to marry Darong and became Feng Chengyi's crown princess for Qi Ke's sake and marriage, acting as Qi Ke's secret agent. With the news she sent, Qi Ke made a great contribution and won Qi Zhen a high reputation. After Qi Zhen rebelled, he immediately made Qi Ke the crown prince.
But how can the power of the people be controlled, Qi Zhen is still not satisfied with Beiyan, and he still wants to take Darong into his pocket and become the overlord who dominates the world.
Mu Xiwan's eyes lowered, and he smiled desolately: "Qi Ke, what you said to me, you have never counted them, right?" ”
The candlelight reflected on Mu Xiwan's face, a little dazzling, Qi Ke shook his head regretfully, and said softly: "Wan'er, why do you and I have to make such a fuss?" ”
"Why bother?" Mu Xiwan sneered and pointed to the pillars of the main hall, where Chu Er's corpse was lying, "You can go and ask her." ”
Chu Er has followed her for so many years, she has never doubted Chu Er's loyalty, if it weren't for Chu Er's meritorious service to force her to hand over the talisman, she would never have found out that Chu Er had betrayed her until she died.
"You!" Qi Ke bit and spit out a word, regretting that he had exposed his plan too early. Mu Xiwan has always been docile and lovely, but he didn't expect that he suddenly changed to a different person, and he didn't eat soft and hard, so he didn't know where to start.
Mu Xiwan stared at his hypocritical appearance, her heart became more and more sad, and her tone seemed to be crying, "I only ask you now, my father and child, did you kill it!" “
There was silence.
Qi Ke smiled evilly, with some regret on his face: "I didn't expect that you would be so smart that you could think so much." If you were so smart back then, I really didn't want you to marry far away. ”
"Sure enough, it's your ......" The calm candlelight became brighter and brighter, and it also illuminated the crystal of Mu Xiwan's cheeks.
"For you, I married in a foreign country, worked hard to steal the news, and even did not hesitate to exchange myself for Feng Chengyi's trust. But what about you? I won't even let my children go......"
Emperor Beiyan was obsessed with women and ignored the government, Qi Zhen had long coveted the throne, and even did not hesitate to kill the generals who had guarded the territory for decades. After Mu Pingye's death, Mrs. Mu also died, and the Northern Yan army was defeated one after another, so the weak Northern Yan asked Darong for peace and marriage.
If her parents hadn't died, she wouldn't have been alone, she wouldn't have fallen for Qi Ke's tricks, she wouldn't have hurt Feng Chengyi, and she wouldn't have lost his children with Feng Chengyi.
Qi Ke snorted and said impatiently: "Since you have that child, you have become more and more disobedient, if you don't get rid of it as soon as possible, how can I Beiyan be today!" ”
"Feng Chengyi is dead, no one can protect you anymore, I advise you to hand over the token obediently, otherwise I have the means to let you survive and not die!"
"He's dead?" Mu Xiwan's eyes suddenly, an indescribable grief spread from his chest, gradually flowing to his limbs, and he couldn't breathe in pain.
Darong was in danger, Feng Chengyi handed her the last talisman guarding the imperial city before going to war, and then she knew how deep Feng Chengyi's love for her was.
It's a pity that it's a step too late after all, and she has no chance to make up for it.
After a long time, she spit out a few broken syllables, in the cold night, with a creepy chill, "Smart is mistaken by smart, Qi Ke, he is dead, what do you think you can do to threaten me." ”
Burst. A flash of fire jumped out of the crack, and the light of the fire on her pale face was a little terrifying.
"What are you doing?" Qi Ke frowned, the look on Mu Xiwan's face made him have a bad premonition, "You want to burn me?" You can't run away either! He said as he quickly stepped back.
Mu Xiwan chuckled lightly, raised his hand and folded the fire out. In an instant, crazy flames swept through the entire hall along the curtain, and a wall of fire spread rapidly along the corners, igniting the doors and windows.
"Have you forgotten who my father was? My Mu family ancestor Xunning can't bend! I've oiled my doors and windows, and you can't escape even if you have the power to do it. Mu Xiwan stood in the sea of fire, like Shura bathed in fire, indifferently looking at Qi Ke who fled for his life.
"You madman, as stubborn as your father, everyone who stands in my way deserves to die, and so do you!" Qi Ke tried several times, but had to retreat because the fire was too fierce.
The tongue of fire spread in an instant, Mu Xiwan looked down at the carved jade pendant on his waist, stretched out his hand to hold it tightly, and said softly: "I can't stand you in this life, if there is a next life, I will repay it with my life." ”
The headache seemed to be torn apart, and the eyelids were swollen uncomfortably, Mu Xiwan barely opened his eyes and saw the white flags flying in the yard.
She was stunned, unable to believe her eyes, how could all this be like the scene when her father died that year? She stood up on the table, and looked back to see a large inscription in the center of the hall, and the new tablet was her father's name.
It turned out that she really lived again, but her father was gone.
Tears slipped silently, and she knelt in front of her father's tablet, almost crying: "Daddy...... I was wrong......"
Mu Xiwan was very young and had no mother, the Mu family was thin and thin, and she became alone as soon as her father left, otherwise she would not be so easily controlled by King Ping's father and son.
"Miss, stop crying, drink some porridge." Mei'er walked in with a bowl of white porridge, opened her mouth low, and couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.
