Chapter Twenty-Four: A Visit in the Night
Zitong was silent and did not answer, this matter was originally done by her, and she couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while, she thought that as long as she became a saint, all this would be revealed, but now that everything is ruined, she must not be able to escape this catastrophe.

"Tong'er? Does this have anything to do with you? Tell the Second Elder about it. Father will call the shots for you! ”
"Princess Zitong, the old body doesn't mean to be offended, please tell the truth."
"I picked it!" No matter how simple the four words came out of Zitong's mouth, they seemed to be an inconsequential thing, which she had to face sooner or later, and she would not admit what she had done.
The shocked face was King Danqiong, he knew what it meant, Zitong is now a princess who has lost the opportunity to succeed the saint, if this is added, I am afraid that the lightest sentence will be a lifetime confinement.
"Tong'er, this is not true, what are you doing in Shuiyuetan if you have nothing to do, are those two divine beasts ornaments, can you still let a woman like you pick up the fire Lingzhi?"
The Second Elder's face was still smiling, and his smile was very cold.
Zitong didn't move, and still repeated: "I picked the fire lingzhi in order to prepare a pair of medicines." Zitong is bold and reckless, please punish his father! ”
"Tong'er, you ......"
The saint sat calmly, as if everything was under her control.
However, Zixin broke in at the right time, "Father, it was me who was greedy for fun and picked fire lingzhi, please don't punish my sister." ”
"Xin'er, what are you messing up again?" King Danqiong was already busy, and the saint's face was a little helpless.
"Xin'er, this is a place where you can mess around, don't go down quickly."
"No, I did it, and it has nothing to do with my sister, who just protected me like she did when she was a child."
"Xin'er, you go down, my sister can handle it." Zitong suddenly pulled her over and touched her head. Zitong's tone was as gentle as a long time ago. Zixin still remembers that when she was a child, she accidentally broke the bottle that her father loved very much, and her sister told her the same thing, and in the end, her sister was beaten a lot by the queen, and she didn't get out of bed for two or three months, she was still so young at that time, how could she stand that, and now it's time for her to protect her sister.
Zixin shook her head and said, "Sister, you just let me once, you're too tired after so many years!" ”
"Father, this is my ......" Zitong pulled Zixin over, covered her mouth, and said softly behind her ear: "Xin'er, now that my sister is abolished, the Holy Maiden election will be held in three days, if you destroy your future now, not only you and me, but also the Holy Maiden, the Great Elder, and many people will no longer exist, and now that the fates of you and I have been reversed, you can't be willful anymore!" ”
"Sister......" Zixin cried and grabbed the corners of her purple clothes, but in the end she couldn't save all this.
"Father, in order to study the antidote to the Golden Snake's Gu poison, I secretly went to collect the fire Lingzhi. You know that Xin'er is weak, and only I can do this, and I am willing to accept my father's punishment. ”
"Alas~" King Danqiong sighed heavily and said, "Let's be confined in the princess's dormitory first, and everything will be said after the saint inherits the ceremony." ”
"Your Majesty......" The second elder seemed to have something to say, but seeing that King Danqiong's face was not good, he had no choice but to give up, but his heart was depressed, and he couldn't imagine such a fatal blow, and he couldn't completely make Zitong disappear in Danqiong, thinking about it, he was a little unwilling.
Equally dissatisfied were the queen and Zimo, all of which fell into the eyes of the saint, and she curled the corners of her lips, mocking the ignorance of these people.
It's dark again, the stars are still brilliant, no matter how the world changes, this eternal night is still so beautiful.
There are still two days left before the day of life and death, and the saint has increasingly felt the Pengbai in her blood, and a magical life is about to break out of her body, with the rights and abilities she originally had, and just leave her, it is something that has existed in her blood for fifteen years, and now it seems to be one with her, but it is about to break out of her body and become the property of another person.
She wasn't willing to do this, but she couldn't, she was getting old, her blood could no longer supply the Death Gu, it needed a younger body to store, and this body had to be chosen by her. She is such a strong person, she will never allow others to control this matter, even if she has to lose the life and death Gu, she will continue to hold it in her hands with all her strength.
In the dark night, Zitong couldn't sleep, lying alone at the window, she wondered if she was going to spend her life in this deep palace, her love, her ideals died in a few days, and now she is no longer Danqiong's high-spirited princess, but just a prisoner who is imprisoned.
"What do you think? So into the gods? When I looked up, it was Mingxue again.
"I'm wondering what Mingxue, what are you doing here in Danqiong?"
"It's not obvious, I'm naturally going to live and die Gu!" Suddenly I don't want to hide anything anymore.
Zitong had a knowing expression, and it seemed that he had already known it. "It's your style!"
Yes, Mingxue doesn't do things that don't do good.
"Aren't you afraid that your baby will be stolen by me?"
"That's not my treasure, so naturally someone will be interested."
"I like you like that."
"It's a pity that some people don't like it!" The voice was very soft and soft, just for myself.
But Mingxue heard it, and it was the man who was talking about it, and today's things are spread one after another.
"It doesn't matter if anyone likes it, people always have to live for themselves in this life, and a person can live freely by cooking wine and singing. Zitong, come with me, I'll give you a broad road! It's better than you being confined in the deep palace and burying all your skills in vain! Ming Xue looked at her, her eyes were as clear as an angel, at least at this moment, she really wanted to take her away, it was not worth her to stay here.
Zitong just smiled, looking at Ming Xue as if she were a friend who had been friends for many years, "I'm sorry, I can't leave here yet." "There are some things she hasn't solved yet.
"Are you for Zixin, or Zhong Mohui?"
Zitong was silent, maybe she didn't know it herself, but this piece of land was too much for her to be tied up, and she didn't seem to be able to break through it all.
"If it's Zixin, she may not be as fragile as you think, when you don't know, she has already grown, if Zhong Mo is ......"
Ming Xue sighed and said, "He has already left, this afternoon, after learning that Zixin doesn't love him, he has already left the Danqiong Palace, I don't think he will come back!" ”
Zitong was stunned, with sadness in her eyes, but in the end she couldn't smile, maybe she knew that this would be the result, but she didn't dare to think about it.
"Mingxue, as soon as the life and death Gu comes out, I will go with you, and you will go wherever you say in the future." She eventually smiled and said, I don't know if she was really relieved, or if she hid it all.
There is no longer anything she is nostalgic for here, and when Zixin succeeds the saint, Danqiong is on the right track, and it is a very correct choice to leave with Ming Xue, she knows that Ming Xue will not be an ordinary person, and it can indeed give her a different future. It was only when she really arrived at that day that she realized that the future was a result that she had never thought of, and it was also a result that she might not be able to reach in her lifetime.
As soon as Mingxue left, another uninvited guest immediately came to Zitong's dormitory.
The woman who walked in from the side door of the dormitory, dressed tightly, was like the noble Holy Maiden.
"Your Highness, I don't know what is the point of visiting late at night?" Zitong didn't look at her, nor did she have the respect she used to have, she was like a piece of cold ice at the moment, cold and not allowed people to get close.
The Holy Maiden didn't bring anyone, she arrived alone, she still smiled so nobly, but her smile was like a mask, false and frightening, "Tong'er, do you want Zixin to succeed the Holy Maiden?" ”
"Heh, with Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden, it will be difficult for her not to succeed the Holy Maiden!" Zitong knew her intentions, a woman like her who had been managing power for more than ten years must have some means, from this aspect, I am afraid that the queen, many elders of the House of Elders are not her opponents.
"Haha, Tong'er is really still Tong'er, but it's not necessarily good to be too smart for yourself!"
"The Holy Maiden is falsely praised, no matter how smart she is, isn't it the same as calculating Her Highness the Holy Maiden?"
The saint did not have the embarrassment of revealing at all, and still looked at her with that false smile.
Zitong suddenly felt that the gentle smile on the corner of her lips was tinged with a strange color, which made people feel timid.
"The Holy Maiden didn't come here to take my life, did she? It stands to reason that I, an abandoned princess, have no obstacle to you, so why should you kill them all? ”
The saintess finally put away that annoying smile, "Naturally, you won't get in my way anymore, but there are still people who want to fight with me beyond their means, and I can only use you." Although you are no longer a threat, with your father's affection for you, if you die at this time, what do you think he will do with the man who killed you? ”
Zitong smiled, laughing at his respect for the saint in the past, laughing at the fact that he had respected this kind aunt as a mother, but now, this gentle and kind woman who was gentle and kind before her was not even willing to do disguise.
It turned out that her final value was nothing more than that her death could give the queen a major blow to her party.
Zitong's eyes were very calm, looking at the saint calmly, as if he knew everything, and he also looked down on everything, looking at the saint Maiden was a little empty.
"You're doing this for the sake of rights?" Zitong looked at her ridiculously, she didn't know if the woman in front of her had a heart.
"Are Zitong and I just pawns in your hands? Isn't the affection of our royal family inferior to those ridiculous and boring things in your eyes? ”
