Chapter 224: No Regret

On this day, the sky was getting dark, and a large number of palace maids appeared outside the Qingxu Palace, and the leader was the most intimate father-in-law around the emperor, his face was a little pale, and there was a trace of worry in his expression when he looked at me.

"You are?"

"The slave maid is the maid of the national teacher in the Qingxu Palace, named Qiang Hong...... "I was instructed by the national teacher to personally go to the Qiankun Palace to find the emperor, and this father-in-law was also accompanied by the emperor at that time, he saw me at that time, but he didn't remember me."

However, in this palace, it is a very common thing to forget an ordinary maid, not to mention, he is still in an important position, the most trusted person in front of Emperor Yun?

"Where's the Shrine Maiden of the Long Water?"

"Long Water...... Witch? "I know Nagsui, but it's hard not to be surprised by the shrine maiden's title.

I always thought that she was the same as me, a maid in this Qingxu Palace, only a little trusted by the national teacher, but I didn't expect her identity to be a witch.

"That's right, didn't you just say that you are the maid of this Qingxu Palace? How could you not know that the first witch under the national teacher? My father-in-law's face was anxious, and there was a hint of displeasure in his tone, and he looked at me with suspicion.

"The slave maid will go and call Changshui immediately!" I answered, and hurriedly called Changshui in the forbidden place.

It is a place where the national teacher often retreats, but there are many formations around, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get lost when they go in, so it is said that the subordinates in the Qingxu Hall have broken in by mistake before, and finally lost their way inside, and when they find people, they have become a stiff corpse.

"Long water? Changshui ......, "I'm a little anxious, and I'm waiting for someone to pass in front of me, but there is no response from here."

Just as I gritted my teeth and was about to step in, a laugh suddenly floated from above my head, "If you take another step, then don't blame me for not being you!" ”

When we looked up, there was a person sitting on the rockery, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a transparent light shining inside, as if he was full of a smile.

"Why are you up there?" I didn't even notice the abnormal aura just now, her whole person had already appeared on it, how high was her light skill? This realization made me feel a hint of danger.

"Why wouldn't I be on it?" As she spoke, she flew down in front of me a little under her feet, "I see that you are panicked, and you almost broke into the forbidden land, do you have something important?" ”

I suddenly remembered the purpose of my visit, and quickly took her hand and rushed outside.

"Huh? What happened to you? Let's be clear......"

"The father-in-law in front of the emperor suddenly came to the Qingxu Palace, and he named and asked for you......"

"Looking for me?" She didn't seem to know why.

I stopped abruptly and turned my head to stare into her eyes, "The Witch of the Long Water? ”

"Huh? …… What's wrong? ”

"You're a shrine maiden?" A twinkle of doubt flashed in my eyes.

"yes, what's wrong?"

"Why did you never tell me?"

"Didn't I tell you? …… I was adopted by the national teacher since I was a child, and when I was three years old, I was brought into the palace and accompanied by the national teacher, and since then, I have been selected by the old national teacher as a witch, unless the national teacher breaks the spell on me, otherwise, I will be by the side of the national teacher for the rest of my life, and I will be a ......witch for the rest of my life......

"Really?" All of a sudden, I suddenly felt like an executioner, exposing people's scars, which was uncomfortable......

"What's wrong with you?" She didn't seem to know anything, but stared at me suspiciously.

"I'm fine, you can hurry up!"

"You're not going?"

"The person my father-in-law is looking for is you." said

I turned and walked in the other direction.

It was only when it was dark that I learned the important news from the guarded atmosphere of the palace.

The emperor is critically ill!

And the reason why my father-in-law came to Changshui today is also because the national teacher had left a bag before leaving, and handed it over to Changshui to take care of.

As for the secret inside the bag, except for the person who can open the bag with his own hands, no one in this palace knows about it.

Gradually, the news of Emperor Yun's critical illness was suppressed, and no one in this palace dared to really talk about this matter loudly.

What followed was the news of the border of Cangyun Country.

The national teacher is in the border, he is like a god, his command is determined, and his cooperation with General Li is seamless, so that the title of the ninth prince of Yeyang, who has always had the winning battle king, suddenly became a little stormy.

The emperor was naturally very happy about this matter, and after a few days of rest, he began to go to the first early court, that is, for the matter of receiving the triumph of the army, among them, the national teacher was also emphatically mentioned.

However, just when everyone was immersed in the cheers of victory in the war, another strange thing happened again!

The messenger rushed eight hundred miles, and in less than two days, he rushed back from the border.

That night, the lights of the Qiankun Hall were turned on all night, and that person, since he entered, never came out.

His Royal Highness seemed to have some understanding of the hidden situation, and on the fifth watch, before dawn, he rushed over from the East Palace.

His eyes were worried, because he was anxious, and his pace also broke off the elegance of the lord of the first palace in the past.

"When the army returned to the dynasty, the national division was killed and captured by the enemy, and now it has fallen into the hands of the Nine Princes!"

Changshui and Mu Han trembled!

I shook my palms, but my face was extremely calm.

As for what His Highness said later, I don't know, but before leaving, he ordered Mu Han and me to go to Yeyang Kingdom to inquire about the situation together, and rescue the national teacher!

Save? A slight sneer bloomed in my heart......

After a deliberate painstaking effort, it was finally possible to have such a result, how could it be possible to make up for all the incidents with salvation?

I thought I was going to be cold-blooded, like when I was eight years old, I stabbed the owner of the house without blinking.

Along the way, I was particularly calm, and this calmness seemed to be much too clear compared to the anxious Mu Han, which made him a little suspicious of me......

However, I knew that in the current situation, he didn't have time to pay attention to me.

Even if I did do something, he wouldn't hold me accountable for my calmness in this tight time period.

Soon, we arrived at the border of Cangyun Country.

After crossing this mountain, you will find the Kyoto of the Yao Province, and after half a day, you can reach the Kyoto of the Yao Province......

I pursed my lips and looked at the mountain peaks, and there was a hint of retreat in my heart.

After Mu Han turned the horse's head, he turned his head and glanced at me, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Nine Princes...... What kind of person is he? "I have heard people say that the Nine Princes of Yeyang Kingdom were born with a pair of purple eyes and a strange personality, whether it is to strangers or to the people around him, they are vicious, especially cold-blooded and ruthless!

"Are you scared?" There seemed to be a hint of disdain in his tone, and he sneered at me.

I shook my head, "No, I'm just a little worried, it's been more than two days, and when we arrive at the Nine Kings' Mansion, will the national teacher still be safe and sound?" ”

Mu Han's eyes suddenly became cold, and I saw that his palms were coldly clenched, as if no one was allowed to doubt the safety of the national teacher at all!

"No, national teacher

With unparalleled resourcefulness and strong martial arts, you will definitely be fine! Definitely not! ”

I know he's a bit self-defeating by saying this, and I didn't say anything more to prevent unnecessary conflict between us.

I used to think that I would not be jealous of someone, but when I really got involved in it, I realized that jealousy of a person actually only arises unconsciously and is completely out of my control.

I'm jealous of the national teacher, so I hope she dies, and I hope she can disappear completely in this battle......

However, when Mu Han and I really appeared in the Nine Kings' Mansion and saw the figure running behind with blood stains all over my body, tied to ropes, and pulled by horses, my thoughts that I had fixed again and again fell apart in an instant.

She always seemed so strong...... is so strong that people often have an illusion.

And let me, almost...... I forgot that she was actually a woman.

So, at that moment, my heart relented, and I tried my best to rescue her......

Together with Mu Han, he led the national teacher out of the encirclement.

However, we have always underestimated the ability of the guards in the Nine Princes' Mansion!

Just after escaping from the Nine Kings' Mansion, he was chased by the other party.

Fortunately, I found a mountain col and brought the national teacher over, she was seriously injured, and the whole person was in a trance.

Her face was bloodless, and I walked around her back under the palm of my hand, as if I had touched something, and when I looked closely, I found that it was two huge pipa bones!

I was a little surprised, and even more frightened by what I saw!

"Mu Han, the national teacher is seriously injured, come and take a look!"

Mu Han's medical skills have always won the trust of the national teacher, and he is the only one here who can find a way to save the national teacher.

I stood aside in a daze and watched, and as soon as the clavicle chain inserted under the pipa bone was moved, the national teacher woke up in a panic.

"National teacher, please forgive the slave and maid for offending, but at the moment, the situation of the national teacher is critical, if Mu Han is not allowed to remove the pipa bone behind the national teacher first, the national teacher may be in danger of his life!"

She thought for a moment, then nodded, her eyes motioning for Mu Han to continue.

I saw her moaning lightly, her clenched lips and teeth, and the beads of sweat on her forehead...... The pain of a tiny embroidery needle piercing the flesh of the body is unbearable, not to mention this huge chain, which is completely submerged in the blood of the bones behind it?

However, she gritted her teeth so lightly, closed her eyes and clenched her fists lightly, and faintly released her pain from her throat.

From beginning to end, she didn't open her mouth to cry out for the slightest pain! ……

The flesh and bones were horizontal, and the forest was cold and terrifying, and I couldn't bear to look at it, so I looked away a little.

Behind him, a burst of torches suddenly lit up, and the iron hooves stepped on, and the purple figure in the lead had a trace of domineering without revealing himself!

"National teacher, the Nine Princes are here!"

"Let's go, the person Emperor Jiu wants is me!"

At that moment, I was shocked.

Since ancient times, only the lord of greed for life, for his own selfish interests, constantly pulled out his subordinates to block.

But there has never been a master in front of the subordinates, making a protective gesture, and telling the subordinates behind them to let them go!

It was false to say that I was not moved, and I suddenly regretted it immensely......

If it weren't for my misconception, she wouldn't have ......

However, at this point, there is no way to regret it, I can only do my best to make amends for my mistakes!

"How can the slave and maid hand over the national teacher to the Nine Princes! The slave and maid are desperate for their lives, and they must also protect the country well! ”

"Qiang Hong, listen to me, if you ......"

There is no time to listen to what the National Teacher has to say now, I made a look at Mu Han, and it was rare for him to have a tacit understanding with me!
