Chapter 044: Qingqiu's Death
Compared to the hustle and bustle outside, the inn was much quieter, Nan Jin walked straight to the second floor, thinking back to the eyes of the girl with a smile, and the corners of his lips hooked up a faint smile from the heart.
The reason why she was moved by her eyes was because her eyes were very similar to his mother's mother. I remember when he was very young, every time his mother stuck to his father's side, he looked at his father with those bright eyes, even if he didn't speak, his father understood what she was thinking.
Later, he asked his father why he understood his mother's mind just by looking at her eyes, and his father said that it was because his mother's eyes could speak.
At that time, he didn't understand the meaning of that sentence, and it wasn't until today that he saw Hua Qianyu, and he suddenly woke up. Because, her eyes are the same as her mother's, full of aura, watery like the purest spring in the world, clear and bright, without the slightest impurity.
"Childe, you're finally here!"
The sound of a clear bell like a warbler pulled Nan Jin's thoughts back, and when he looked up, he saw a woman in an apricot yellow Luo skirt standing next to the open door, with a sweet smile on her pretty face, looking at him for a moment.
She is like a butterfly from the deep mountains and valleys, giving people a clear and transparent feeling, the apricot brocade skirt is close to the body, the delicate and delicate figure is vividly reflected, the fine black long hair is draped on the shoulders, lined with white skin as if transparent and clean, a pair of small dimples are evenly distributed on both sides of the cheeks, a shallow smile, the dimples are looming on the cheeks, very cute.
Nan Jin stood on his feet, standing in place, his indifferent and quiet gaze finally stopped on her eyes, the clear amber eyes were so smart that they seemed to be overflowing, and the smile with the real light was deeply imprinted into his heart.
I didn't expect to wash off the dirty soil, she was born so delicate and beautiful, Nan Jin smiled lightly, walked to her side, and said softly: "I said I would come, I won't lie to you!" ”
"Giggles, I also believe that Childe will definitely come!" Hua Qianyu smiled stupidly, took the initiative to hold his right arm, and pulled him into the room intimately as if she had known him for a long time: "Childe, have you eaten, I asked the shopkeeper to prepare a meal, can you eat with me?" ”
Looking at the carefully prepared meal, even though Nan Jin had no appetite, he still smiled and responded: "Okay! ”
After taking a seat, Hua Qianyu took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Nan Jin, threatening to thank him for saving him today. During the meal, most of the flowers were talking, her smile, like a copper bell, was very good, Nan Jin just listened to her silently, looking at her eyes from time to time, but never spoke.
As the night grew darker, bright stars filled the boundless sky, and a crescent moon emerged from the dark clouds and hung in the quiet night sky. It's past the time of Hai, after drinking poisonous wine for so long, Si Yunshang didn't feel anything wrong with her body, it seems that she made the right bet this time, Nan Jin gave her to eat, it was really an antidote.
The two eunuchs left behind by the Queen Mother came in from time to time to see if she was poisoned and died. If it weren't for Cang Ninghao and An Shaoling, the two of them would have died in the hands of Si Yunsheng.
Suddenly, there was a strong smell of burning faintly floating from his nose, as if something was on fire, Si Yunshang was secretly shocked, twisted the package and ran out of the door, only to see a fire burning in the huge cold palace!
The two eunuchs guarding the courtyard had been knocked unconscious and lying on the ground. And Qingqiu, who should have been in a coma and hid in the corner of the wall, was standing in the courtyard at the moment, holding a torch in her hand, so this fire was undoubtedly lit by her.
However, why is Qingqiu wearing her clothes? Si Yunshang was puzzled, and called out dumbly: "Qingqiu ......"
She was clearly ruthless just now, and it stands to reason that she shouldn't have woken up so early.
Qingqiu threw the torch in her hand into the flames, and slowly walked towards Si Yunsheng, but her steps were so heavy, and every step seemed extremely difficult, "Emperor... The queen mother ......" She opened her mouth quietly, and what overflowed from her mouth was not only a weak voice, but also bright red blood!
Seeing her body fall to the ground, Si Yunsheng quickly supported her, surprise and doubt came to her heart at the same time, her hand panicked to help Qingqiu wipe away the blood that kept gushing out, but the blood seemed to be endless, flowing wildly.
At this moment, Si Yunshang finally lost his sense of proportion, and asked anxiously: "Qingqiu, what's wrong with you?" ”
Qingqiu raised his hand angrily, grabbed Si Yunsheng's sleeve, and said with difficulty: "Niangniang, Qingqiu can serve you in this life, it is a blessing that Qingqiu cultivated in his previous life, and he can die for his mother, Qingqiu is as sweet as food!" ”
"What's going on, why do you want to die because of me, you make it clear!" Si Yunshang asked in a panic, watching Qingqiu's life gradually disappear, but she couldn't do anything, after all, when she came to this ancient time, Qingqiu accompanied her day and night, even if it was a master-servant relationship, there was some emotion.
Qingqiu raised a smile, and his eyes were already white, "The prince wants to save you, but he also wants to let everyone in the world know that the queen is dead, so Qingqiu took poison, wore Niangniang's clothes, and set fire to the cold palace, when Qingqiu is unrecognizable, no one knows, Niangniang, you have already escaped from the palace......"
Hearing this, Si Yunshang was stunned, it turned out that the reason why Han Zeyu sent Qingqiu back to the cold palace to serve her was to make plans for her future escape, everything was under his control, and he was still like a fool, planning to escape, I'm afraid, Han Zeyu had already seen through this little bit of his thoughts.
However, why should she exchange Qingqiu's life for her life, she would rather not have this method of escape. However, even if she was unwilling, there was no way out, at this time, the cold palace was on fire, which had already attracted the patrolling soldiers, and the noisy shouts gradually came from far and near, as if a large number of people were coming towards the cold palace.
"... It's too late, you go! Qingqiu used his last strength to push Si Yunshang violently, then stood up and walked slowly towards the burning house.
"Qingqiu!" Si Yunshang shouted, wanting to rush over and grab Qingqiu, but suddenly a gravity grabbed her arm from behind.
Si Yunshang turned her head coldly, her purple eyes came into view, and she shouted: "Let go of me!" ”
"Yunshang, it's time to go!" Cang Ninghao ignored her anger, but still held on to her hand, at this time, there was a heavy impact sound from the door of the cold palace, as if the soldiers who came to put out the fire wanted to rush in.
Qingqiu walked to the door, paused, looked back and glanced at Si Yunshang for the last time, but it was not because of a souvenir, but to complete his last task: "Niangniang, that dry well is the road to the outside of the palace!" With that, she jumped into the sea of flames.
"Qingqiu!" Si Yunsheng's eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted desperately, but in his eyes, except for the roaring firelight, there was no Qingqiu figure.
