"No! You talk nonsense, you talk nonsense! What does your brother's death have to do with me! What does it have to do with Yuebai! Don't spread rumors here, you say, you say quickly! Who instructed you! Who is it!" Yao Jin suddenly stepped forward and pushed away those guards, she grabbed the little palace maid's collar tightly with both hands, and suddenly her hands were stained with the blood on the girl's neck, and the spots were red and gorgeous, reflecting Yao Jin's face more and more white and terrifying. She stared at the girl with wide eyes, as if she wanted to see a little sign of lying from her face, but the girl's gaze seemed to be even more terrifying than Yao Jin's face, and the inky black pupils were like two cold swords piercing out, stabbing Yao Jin's heart again and again, tearing apart the seemingly stable world that Yao Jin had just created for himself, a huge opening, oozing heavy darkness.

"Your Royal Highness, you don't want the small southern country, and neither does His Majesty the Emperor of the Li Dynasty, the Arrow Islands have become orphans, and my brother and I have no one to ask for them...... Our ship came back from the south, and my brother said that he would rest on the side of Royer Island and then go north, and everything would have been fine, but overnight all the official ships and officers and soldiers around the Arro Islands were withdrawn! The pirate ships were all over Royer Island, and the flags of the pirate ships were everywhere, and I knew at that moment that we could not go back...... Everyone in Songxi County says that you are here to curry favor with the future queen, because you hate the heat in the south, because you want to go back to the rich capital and return to this palace—so you don't want us, do you? Your Royal Highness, is that so? Is it so disgusting to you in the little southern kingdom? You know that you used to be the person my brother and I admired the most—"

"No! don't say it!" Yao Jin suddenly shouted, and then she snatched the sword from the hand of a guard next to her and pointed it at the girl, shouting excitedly: "If you dare to say one more word, I will kill you immediately!"

The little palace maid suddenly laughed, laughing one after another, and the sharp laughter echoed in the room, and everyone seemed to feel a little creepy. Looking at Yao Jin's flustered face, the little palace maid suddenly said coldly: "When I escaped from the pirate ship, I also wanted to live a good life according to my brother's last wish, but even if I hid in the shadows to survive, I can hear the news about His Royal Highness the Lord every day, His Royal Highness is deeply favored by the emperor, His Royal Highness is the only sister of His Majesty the Emperor, His Royal Highness is going back to the palace to be the eldest princess, His Royal Highness is the close friend of the future queen - these news are gnawing at my flesh and bones every day, and I am not reconciled. My Royal Highness is the younger sister of His Majesty the Emperor, but I am also, I was also raised in the palm of my brother's hand, and I am also a younger sister who has never suffered hardship, suffered from hunger, and grew up in a honey jar! But why are they all the younger sisters of my elder brother, but they have such a different ending? Why can His Royal Highness be so willful, saying that he wants to be the lord of the small southern kingdom, and if he says that he will not do it, he will not do it, and he does not care about the life or death of other people at all-is it because you are the sister of His Majesty the Emperor, can you act so arbitrarily! Could it be that in your heart, the other brothers and sisters in this world are cheap lives that can be discarded and trampled on at will!"

"No, it's not like that, you listen to me, it's not like this!" Yao Jin threw away the sword and knelt in front of the girl, she grabbed the girl's shoulders tightly with both hands, and an even whiter smile appeared on her pale face: "It's not what you heard! I didn't want you, I was—"

"Whoa—"

Yao Jin suddenly felt that something sprayed on her face, warm, with a faint fishy smell, her eyes were a little blurry, there were many people at the door not far away, a person with a bow and arrow on his back put down the bow in his hand, his back was a bright yellow, and the girl in front of Yao Jin fell on Yao Jin's chest like this, her body was still hot, but she could no longer listen to Yao Jin.

No...... I didn't want you, I just, I just...... Yao Jin muttered, she wanted to tell this girl who couldn't hear her voice anymore, maybe she wanted to tell herself too, what was she? In fact, she was nothing...... It seems that even Yao Jin herself can't go on, even she thinks she is wrong, ridiculously wrong, so wrong, she naively thinks that she can keep everyone's peace with a fold, she thinks that as long as she doesn't listen, as long as she can endure it, as long as she suffers a little grievance, everyone else will be fine, she didn't expect such a thing at all, maybe there are more things she can't imagine- Self-blame and pain are like two poisonous snakes wrapped around Yao Jin's heart at the same time, she hugged the body in her arms that was gradually getting colder, she went from sobbing to crying, the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids all knelt on the ground, and only Yao Jin's cry filled the whole room in silence. And Lin Yuebai stood up slowly, her face was also pale, but her expression was extremely calm, she stood quietly behind Yao Jin, looking at the only person standing opposite, the person who didn't say a word but was enough to make everyone tremble at his feet, Lin Yuebai felt that her already cold heart became colder, so cold that she was even a little scared.

"Why?"

"What, why?"

"Why did you kill this girl?"

"Because she tried to murder the widowed queen. ”

"I'm not a queen yet!"

"You will be. ”

"But at least you shouldn't have killed her in front of Yao Jin!"

"The widowed eldest princess is strong and brave, but she can afford to kill an assassin in front of her. ”

"But kill someone, do you want Ah Yao to collapse completely...... How many more people are you going to kill......"

"As long as the widow's queen and the widow are of one mind, the widow will only kill those who should be killed. ”

......

Memories are like a black undercurrent in the night sky, slowly surging towards the bright moon called Jiaojie, and slowly flowing to an unknown distance, Lin Yuebai's eyes fell from the sky into the lotus pond in front of her, and suddenly remembered that she was also here a few months ago, and saw the most unbearable scene in her life, so she sighed deeply: "Now, I really don't know what is right and what is wrong, and I don't know what I am doing now, whether it is to save people or harm people." ”

"That'...... Do you still love him?"

Lin Yuebai was silent for a moment and said seriously: "I don't know." But if I am in danger with him at this moment and can only live one, I will not hesitate to trade my life for his. ”

"But you can't approve of what he's doing, can you?"

"Yes, maybe I won't be able to agree with it for the rest of my life...... Lin Yuebai suddenly felt a little tired, she looked at Yao Jin sideways, and said seriously: "But as long as you are good, as long as we can still talk like this, as long as everything doesn't change anymore...... Perhaps, I can live like this for the rest of my life. ”
