Chapter 265: Soft-hearted
When the eldest princess heard the sound of the flute, she hurried to the direction where the flute sounded from.
Expressionless, a little numb and a little tired of dealing with it, the eldest princess moved her wrist and lowered her eyes to look at the bright red marks on the ground.
She has dealt with a lot of things like this.
It can even be said that in the past few years, she has needed to deal with similar things again and again every day, from being unbearable at the beginning, to now being able to harvest a life without blinking.
Occasionally, in the middle of the night, she would also wake up, and in a trance she saw her hands full of blood, and she was extremely disgusted and afraid.
The eldest princess looked at the gloomy sky with empty eyes, the weather here in the cold palace has always been like this, and the sun is only an occasional luxury.
She closed her eyes, suppressing the sudden rush of boredom and exhaustion, things had not yet come to an end, and she had not yet reached the end of the rest.
With two flicks of the dagger, the eldest princess put the dagger back on her waist, and turned around neatly to walk into the cold palace.
Normally, if there is no flute, there is nothing to deal with, she will walk around the cold palace, aimlessly, casually.
When she came back to her senses again, the eldest princess noticed that she had arrived at the place where she had met Beichen Yu and Su Mian before, and there were still traces of their fight on the ground.
The eldest princess half-squatted down, her fingers caressing the marks on the ground, and her eyes were complicated.
The royal family is full of cold-blooded and ruthless people, and all the tender love is just a dream bubble, which they disguise for their own invisible purposes.
But......
Just now, Beichen Yu even put himself in danger for the sake of Su Mian, and was even willing to give up his life for Su Mian.
She could clearly see from Beichen Yu's eyes that his undisguised love for Su Mian was not disguised.
Because......
Thinking of something, the eldest princess's eyes suddenly became fierce, and the corners of her lips pressed down, as if she was pressing some kind of emotion.
Turning her gaze to the cave entrance next to her, the eldest princess hesitated for a long time and decided to go down to see the two of them, and if there was still a breath left, she would rescue them and send them out of the palace.
As for whether they will live or die after that, it depends on their own creation.
The eldest princess lit a fire and jumped down, although she has lived in the cold palace for many years, but not all the places she has been to, and even there is a secret passage hidden in the secret passage of this cold palace, she also jumped down, just found out.
The eldest princess stood in the unfamiliar secret passage, carefully looking at the surrounding environment, there were two rows of footprints on the ground, one large and one small, very similar.
It should be Beichen Yu and Su Mian, the eldest princess thought in her heart, since the two of them are fine, then she doesn't need to worry, it's just ......
Where does this secret passage lead?
The eldest princess raised the fire fold and walked inside little by little, I don't know how long she walked, there was a very small sound in the quiet environment, the eldest princess stopped and listened carefully-
It's the voice of a person talking!
And at this time, only Beichen Yu and Su Mian could be in the dark passage, thinking about it, she quickly approached quietly, and her voice gradually became clear.
It turned out that they were talking about her and the first emperor, but in the eyes of others, did she have that relationship with him?
The eldest princess smiled bitterly, she had been staying in the cold palace all these years, and she didn't know anything about the outside world, and naturally she didn't know what the rumors outside had become.
Lost her mind, the eldest princess heard Su Mian hesitantly ask Beichen Yu, "Then do I need to ask directly?" Wouldn't it be rude, after all, the eldest princess was once a generation of Tianjiao, and the first emperor had been dead for a long time, would it offend them? β
Beichen Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Su Mian's eyes full of eagerness, knowing that she was deliberately saying this for fun, but he replied with a very cooperative twist of his eyebrows, "It makes sense, or we still investigate secretly, but we may not get the results until a long time later, and maybe even the news we get is what others want us to know." β
"That ......" Su Mian's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to speak, a small light came out from the corner in front of him.
"Who!" Beichen Yu quickly became vigilant, protected Su Mian behind him, and his sharp eyes shot straight at the figure that was gradually revealed.
Although Su Mian was behind Beichen Yu, she also took out her own weapon, and she could secretly attack at any time.
"It's me." The eldest princess walked out generously, different from the sabre-rattling when they met last time, this time her expression was gentle, with a little light softness.
"Eldest princess, is this going to kill us?" Beichen Yu's body was filled with a strong murderous aura, and because Su Mian was in her hand just now, he moved to restrain his hands.
And now, he is sure enough to protect Su Mian, and he is also nine points sure that he will retreat.
The eldest princess looked at him, and then at Su Mian behind him.
Su Mian should have trusted him very much, his fingers clutched his clothes tightly, and he stared at himself with the same hatred.
This is the real love, in the eyes, the gestures are inadvertently expressing the feelings of the two of them only behind them.
The eldest princess smiled with difficulty, "This palace just happened to hear something and said it clearly." β
Her gaze fell on Su Mian, "Don't you want to know what happened at that time?" This palace can tell you the whole truth. β
Su Mian and Beichen Yu glanced at each other, but they didn't let their guard down, they didn't believe that the eldest princess who was about to fight and kill them just now would give up her original idea of killing them because she heard a few words.
The eldest princess began to talk to herself, as if she didn't care if they believed it or not.
"What you said until he went out with his army is true. He regards this palace as a treasure given by God, and this palace reveals a little love for something, and in less than an hour, that thing will definitely appear in front of this palace. β
There was a faint nostalgia in the eldest princess's eyes, obviously, for the time of getting along, she really sank into it, and she really gave her most sincere feelings.
"However, after the matter between us was discovered by the Queen Mother, everything began to change."
It's just that at that time, I was dazzled by the sea oath and mountain alliance, completely lost the ability to think, and ignored his small actions that gradually alienated.
So, later, she paid a terrible price for her blindness.
As soon as Su Mian heard this beginning, she knew that it must be a scumbag who cheated on her feelings, and a faint pity and sympathy for the eldest princess appeared in her heart.
She walked out from behind Beichen Yu and asked softly with concern, "What price?" β
The eldest princess's eyes showed a deep sadness, "Back then, he had to lead the troops to the battle, and the palace was left alone in the palace. The queen mother didn't like the palace, thinking that the palace wanted to destroy her most beloved and most likely son to become a treasure, so she secretly attacked it three times and twice.
This palace is not easy to mess with, this time this palace can dodge it, and a few times it can hit the old woman. β
The eldest princess paused and smiled bitterly, "But, Jiang is still old and spicy." β
"What's going on?" Su Mian asked nervously, and it seemed that he had really immersed himself in the matter of the eldest princess.
Beichen Yu was very calm, and he couldn't say whether he believed it or what the eldest princess said.
It's already a matter of the previous generation, and it has nothing to do with him and Su Mian, as long as it doesn't involve the two of them, it doesn't matter what happens to them at that time.
He grabbed the girl who was about to run to the eldest princess with one hand and firmly protected her by his side, even if the eldest princess didn't seem to be dangerous at the moment, who could guarantee that this was not a deliberate trick she had made?
The eldest princess noticed Beichen Yu's small movements, and she also understood Beichen Yu's concern for Su Mian even more.
She felt even more stupid at the time.
The queen mother was forced by her to be anxious, and bought a killer from outside the palace to assassinate her, three times and twice, but she couldn't prevent it, she had to escape from the palace and hide in the home of her henchman maid in the capital.
She was still hesitating what to do, whether she wanted to stay in the capital and wait for him to come back, or to go to him and stay by his side.
Personally, she prefers the second situation, because she has been separated for a long time, and she really misses him so much.
After discussing with their confidants and maids, the two packed their things and prepared to go to the frontier.
Who knew that the Queen Mother did not give up the pursuit of her, and as soon as the two left the capital, they were chased by the first wave.
It was also during that chase that she discovered that she was pregnant, and that the maid who had been with her for decades had been almost shot into a hornet's nest with a bow and arrow in order to save her and the child in her womb.
She couldn't even collect her body, so she hurried to the frontier.
She thought that as long as she went there, to him, everything would be fine, and she would be bitter.
However, she was still too naΓ―ve.
When she desperately protected the child and arrived at the camp, she stood outside the camp, and through a thin barrier, she clearly heard his conversation with his personal eunuch.
He said that the Queen Mother was his mother after all, and it was impossible for him to rebel against his mother for a woman, which was disrespectful.
He said that since the Queen Mother insisted on keeping him away from her, he still did it.
He said that let the personal eunuch pass the message to the Queen Mother, and everything is subject to the Queen Mother's arrangement, even if the Queen Mother wants to deal with her secretly, it is okay, because they have the name of brother and sister, and it is absolutely impossible to be together!
As an emperor, you must not have such a stain.
At that time, the eldest princess only felt that a basin of cold water was poured on her face, which annihilated the fire and friendship in her heart and extinguished all the happiness and longing in her heart.
I don't know when the tears have been surging down like a broken embankment, and my heart is throbbing and aching, as if I have been pricked by countless sharp needles, fine and dense, and the pain is endless.
After all these years, I remembered it again, and when I talked to others, the eldest princess could still recall the helplessness and collapse at that time.
Even the heart can feel a dull pain.
In retrospect, I really lost everything for him at that time, stupid could!
Su Mian felt that there was a lot of abuse between the two of them just by listening to it, and she remembered what she had heard, the relationship between the eldest princess and the first emperor was very affectionate, and the first emperor loved her so much, how could he say such a thing.
