Chapter 4: A Late First Encounter
Six years later.
Princess Xuexing is the only daughter of the emperor's beloved Empress Dongfang Xijun during her lifetime. Although she is deceased, her beauty has always been engraved in the emperor's heart. Princess Snow Star, it is said that her father expected her to be a ruthless and resolute king, a lonely name that cannot be beaten, and a prosperous dynasty that is unparalleled in ancient and modern times.
Today, the emperor loves the queen alone, and for her, the emperor does not set up a harem, and has never accepted concubines. Since her death, the emperor has never seen another woman.
Jing Qiushui looked at herself in the mirror, she didn't look like her biological mother, Empress Dongfang Xijun. His father once said that the Empress of the East had long black hair and dark green eyes.
Dongfang Xijun's mother is a woman surnamed Jing in Yunni Kingdom, and Qiushui's surname is inherited from her grandmother; Dongfang Xijun's father is an exotic and beautiful man with light hair and eyes. Dongfang Xijun is a half-breed, an exotic dancing girl from the West, who was fell in love with the emperor of Yunni Kingdom, so he was established as a queen, and had Princess Snow Star.
When I grew up, the autumn water was slim and elegant. Since the death of the nurse, she has been dressed in white every year on her death day and worshiped at her grave. Yanqi's sub-personality has incredible explosiveness. The more Jing Qiushui grows, the more she feels that this "Yanqi" in her body has extremely powerful power.
Yanqi, undercurrent in the autumn water body.
In addition to the Imperial Palace, as well as the three palaces under the Imperial Palace, which have formed a force that cannot be underestimated on the rivers and lakes, there are also the following three main sects-
Jingkong Gate, the young master Yusheng, his whereabouts are mysterious, extremely hidden, his style is not to leave a living mouth, and he is especially good at obtaining information. If you are targeted by the Silent Sky Gate, I am afraid that you are not far from seeing Hades. Given their superior information activities, it was rumored that the imperial court would have to turn a blind eye to their actions.
The Lingshuang Sect, a sect that only accepts women as apprentices, the leader of the sect, Ling Qingyi, acts viciously. The Lingshuang Sect has always been active in various dangerous and subversive fields, and the people of the rivers and lakes say that most of them are lonely and arrogant, but they do have that strength. The heads of other major sects, and even the three palaces, had to give her three points.
Bloodbrock Tissue, located in the Grim Lodge. The leader of the organization, Zhu Zitong, once washed the Cold Shadow Villa in blood, and is now also the owner of the villa. No one dared to confront Zhu Zitong, and it is said that even the monarch would not want to provoke such a tiger.
There is such a saying among the people: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chen is actually the adopted son of the royal family, and his biological parents are the golden unicorns and phoenixes of the Qilin Palace. The Jin family and the Feng family are big families, and they are world friends. This is an agreement between the royal family and the extended family.
Jin Jiao does not focus on martial arts, but is better at healing, and she has a lot of understanding in terms of medical skills. Jin Jiao's grandfather, Jin Song, also known as the "Qilin King", has terrifying power and extremely powerful magic.
Jin Jiao is a traditional pure beauty, with long black hair, bright eyes like stars, plump and seductive lips, a hint of cunning that seems to be smiling at the corners of her mouth, and her pink skin is lined with pale yellow gauze clothes that are particularly delicate. As a well-known boudoir, no matter how young and innocent she is, she still has an indelible atmosphere of the city.
Jin Song is an unprecedented palace master and the overlord of the mighty martial arts. Jin Jiao shoulders the heavy responsibility of being different from ordinary women, she has been a girl who wants to speak since she was a child, although she is very cute, she keeps a distance from others. So those who didn't know her began to gossip about her, saying that she was a duplicitous bad boy, that she was a wicked boy possessed by evil spirits, that she was a monster with witchcraft powers......
However, none of these have stopped Jin Jiao's growth, and she has the excellent quality of being the master of a house.
Jin Jiao will never forget that thunderstorm night, that demon possession ceremony, and her struggle on the line of life and death under the pouring rain.
At that time, she was dying, and she lived in the ghost gate, and I have to say that she has become stronger since then, and her human nature has become more profound.
She knew that in the palace, someone wanted to take her life at any time, and the identity of the descendant of the palace master and the quasi-palace master of the Qilin Palace not only could not guarantee her safety, but would cause trouble. And she has endured all the humiliations she has suffered in the palace in the past six years, and she thinks that she has to bear it no matter what.
Jin Jiao has never been the palace master, mainly because of the hindrance of Si Kou's sisters and brothers and Miss Nie.
While eating the dishes in the bowl, Jin Jiao stared at the man in front of her, and said calmly: "Si Kou Haisi, you and your sister Si Kou Yunchou that old fox, have you come to trouble me again?" β
Jin Jiao thought to herself that this might be the first time she had spoken out against someone from the Si Kou family.
"Hehehe, naΓ―ve little girl, do you know that this dish is poisoned?" When Si Kohaith saw Jin Jiao ingesting poison, he was very relieved and grinned.
"Smack!" The chopsticks fell to the ground, and at this time, Jin Jiao secretly cursed how she could be so careless and poisoned! She overturned the wooden table and stumbled out of the palace before she was paralyzed.
"Haha, you stupid woman, you won't be able to run a few steps and you will die in Huangquan!" From behind him, there was Situ Haisi's triumphant laughter.
Running to the gate of the Qilin Palace, Jin Jiao had exhausted all her strength. As soon as she left the palace, she fainted and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, at this time, she met a teenager she never knew - she sucked the drugs out for her, and she picked up her life and came back.
Jin Jiao woke up and just wanted to thank him, but the young man pulled out the knife. Jin Jiao reacted very quickly and bent down to dodge, only to hear a wail behind her, followed by the sound of the man falling to the ground.
Jin Jiao felt a burning pain in her shoulder, turned around, and saw a man who had run out of the Qilin Palace falling to the ground and dying. She saw the dagger on her left shoulder, gritted her teeth, and pulled it out stiffly!
A hint of surprise flashed on the young man's face, he had done an investigation before coming to the Qilin Palace, and it seemed that Jin Jiao, a beauty, was not exactly a vase.
"Who are you?" Jin Jiao was startled by her calm voice.
The knife-wielding boy said as he took the dagger from her hand: "It's also poisoned, it looks like I really want your life." β
Poison? Jin Jiao felt soft under her feet, her heart beat faster, and her breathing began to be difficult.
"Don't look at you as a delicate and beautiful lady, you're quite ruthless...... In Xia Wu Tianjun. The young man looked approvingly and said steadily, "But you still haven't noticed that someone is approaching you behind you to sneak attack?" He stabbed you! What a dereliction of duty. β
Jin Jiao only felt dizzy, and there was a sharp pain in her shoulder. The toxicity has hit! Jin Jiao's eyes were dark, and her legs suddenly became weak and she fell to the ground.
"Golden Girl!" Wu Tianjun saw Jin Jiao twitching violently on the ground, and her life was dying, so he immediately took out a divine pill and fed it to her.
Soon, Jin Jiao stopped convulsing and regained sensation in her limbs. Wu Tianjun reached out to help her stand up.
The state of crisis was lifted.
Jin Jiao looked at the strange man who had revived her dying self.
Wu Tianjun also looked at the weak girl in front of him, thinking that she was much calmer than she looked. On the neck ring she was wearing, two red beads emitted a strong light, dazzling and weird.
"You necklace...... Where did it come from? "Wu Tianjun heard Master say that this is a thing of the demons.
"This is a relic that my grandfather gave me." Jin Jiao closed her eyes and felt the beads on her neck absorb the pain and numbness of the toxin, and spread a warm current throughout her body. "How could I be afraid of such a little minion......"
Wu Tianjun looked at Jin Jiao, a strong and stubborn girl, who was obviously frightened, but still said, "How can I be afraid." Her slender body trembled incessantly, but she was strong enough to control her emotions. This dangerous woman who coexists with demons is different from the host who struggled to get rid of demons in the first half of her life, but she is the object to be protected.
"You look like you're quite experienced in exorcism, not like it's the first time." Jin Jiao opened her eyes and looked at him calmly. Wu Tianjun and Jin Jiao, an exorcist and a demon host, must be incompatible.
"The Taoist leader I followed exorcised many times, and I'm used to seeing them." As if seeing through her thoughts, Wu Tianjun put away his joking smile and said seriously, "Although you are possessed, I will protect you." I made an oath before the devil. β
Hearing his words, Jin Jiao's long-closed heart suddenly trembled. That miserable and tragic rainy night flashed in her mind. This Wu Tianjun, has he had a similar experience?
"You're going to exorcise for me? Why me? Why are you protecting me? β
"It was Jin Song who entrusted me to protect you before his death." Wu Tianjun said gently, "Your grandfather saved his father's life." To be a man, you must be grateful and repay. β
"Life for life, you've saved me many times......" Jin Jiao only thought it was funny, "Besides, my grandfather has been dead for six years." Why did you come? β
"At that time, I didn't practice enough, and I naively thought that you would be fine in the Qilin Palace, but who knew that they really poisoned you. I'm not going to put your life at risk. Wu Tianjun looked at the frightened man and said with trembling in his arms, "I have to protect you." β
"Protect me?" Jin Jiao repeated, "Why, as a stranger, do you care if I have gone astray?" I'm grown up now, and of course they see me as a threat! They are plotting to usurp the throne, and I am their biggest obstacle! β
Wu Tianjun said solemnly: "In this way, I who protect you is also their biggest obstacle." β
Jin Jiao was instinctively wary and defensive about this teenager. But also out of instinct, she felt a trace of trust in her heart for Wu Tianjun, who had saved her. It's very vague, it's ethereal, but it's really trust. Out of inner conflict, she just smiled bitterly and did not answer.
For Wu Tianjun, a teenager who suddenly broke into her life, it was because of him that she was rescued after being poisoned and survived assassination, and she was also protected by him because of the demon's possession...... Jin Jiao looked at Wu Tianjun, who was a young and handsome young man, with eyes like a star, resolute and tenacious.
Whether it's his skills or the way he solves problems, he makes people feel reliable. The way he helped her always lingered in Jin Jiao's mind. saved Jin Jiao's life several times without hesitation, saying what to protect her.
Jin Jiao buried her head in Wu Tianjun's arms and sobbed softly. For some reason, she suddenly became so crying. She didn't need the comfort of her delicate heart after it was injured, but she had to admit that she felt very relieved in Wu Tianjun's arms.
"It's not true......" Jin Jiao said dejectedly.
"It's all still a mystery." Wu Tianjun held Jin Jiao's hands and looked at her seriously, "But I will accompany you all the way." β
"Huh? Why is this all of a sudden? Jin Jiao blushed.
But this Wu Tianjun still has a temperature. Now Jin Jiao's mind no longer allows her to have superfluous thoughts. Without thinking too much, she leaned her head on Wu Tianjun's shoulder, and Wu Tianjun didn't care much. Jin Jiao snuggled stiffly into his arms, and his heartbeat and even his breathing could be heard from such a close distance.
It's not like saying that an exorcist is not like it, it's not accurate to say that it's a person in the rivers and lakes, it's not proper to say that it's a person who practices martial arts, and he has a kind of luxury similar to Jin Jiao.
"Who the hell are you?" Jin Jiao's temple pain still existed, and the residual pain spread out, and she couldn't think anymore.
