Chapter 23: The Dilemma
Xin'er, it will be your own road from now on. Pinshu.com
Zitong understands very well that his loss of power, the competition for the saintess is Zixin and Zimo.
Although Zixin is usually cynical, the saint and her father are very fond of her, I don't know since when she is more comfortable in the palace than herself?
Zimo doesn't need to say it, no matter what, she has the queen's big backer, and the prince is her own brother, and the two are evenly matched, and a bloody battle cannot be avoided.
"Sister, you're tired, I'll help you go to rest!" Zixin walked over obediently, and the concern in her eyes was real.
It seems that the unhappiness of the past few days has disappeared all of a sudden, and they are the pair of sisters who don't talk and are close, but some things have quietly deteriorated, and they all know in their hearts that the family affection that is carefully cared for has already been cracked, and it is impossible to repair it completely in this life.
Zhong Mohui stood at the door and looked at it for a while, and suddenly felt like an outsider, unable to insert himself between them.
Zixin and he were people who were in love with each other, and he had never doubted this before, but at this moment, there was a not very sure thought in his heart, and that thought made him feel a little afraid.
"Sister, what are your plans for the future?"
Finally, it still has to involve this topic that no one wants to mention.
"Your Mo Hui let me rob it, are you sad?" Zitong is a preface that does not match the afterword.
Zixin looked at her, her eyes couldn't dodge anymore, but she didn't have sadness in her eyes for Zhong Mohui's departure.
"It was supposed to be my sister's fate, but I wanted to destroy it in vain! It's okay now, it's just a matter of returning things to their rightful owners! ”
"Don't you love him?"
Zixin smiled, and tears of laughter came out.
Whether she loves him, maybe she doesn't know herself, but when she knew that he married his sister, she didn't feel much sadness, but felt a sense of relief in her heart, because that love was stolen by her.
"Sister, I took the credit for saving him on myself, he should have fallen in love with you."
"But, Xin'er, do you love him?" Zitong still asked stubbornly.
Zixin couldn't dodge Zitong's calm but seemingly see-through eyes, she finally shook her head, she wouldn't fall in love with Zhong Mohui.
"Then why did you snatch him again?" Zitong's eyes finally couldn't hold back the madness, and the previous calm suddenly shattered, helplessness, sadness, and despair came from the crack.
Zixin was frozen in place all of a sudden, she had never seen such a sister, with a pale face, haggard and sad eyes, her lips trembling, and her two hands pressed her shoulders tightly, unable to break free.
"Why?" Zitong stubbornly wants to know why.
She wanted to know why things had come to such a point, and she wanted to know what it was all about.
The blow of attitude made her go crazy all at once, as if she could no longer control herself, and all reason disappeared completely with the breaking of that string.
"Sister......" Zixin trembled and was afraid, she didn't know what to say, she didn't know what to say to calm down such a sister.
"I thought...... I thought that my sister's favorite thing should be power, the supreme glory of the saints......" Her voice was very soft, as thin as a mosquito and a fly, which was one of the reasons why she wanted to do it, but there was an even more important reason that could not be said.
Zitong didn't let go, but said hysterically: "That's just what you think, why do you think I am so obsessed with power, why do I want to be the next generation of saints so much?" We are two orphan girls in the royal court, do you remember the days when you were cold? I can bear it, but my mother entrusted you to me before she died, but I can't let you be wronged, I work so hard, I insist so much, I just want my father to see me, I want the Elders' House to recognize me, I want to give you a bright future......"
"I know all of that...... Knowing it all......" Zixin broke away from her and held her hand.
So I will make you a saint, even if you misunderstand me, even if you steal your happiness, I will let you stand on the highest place in the Danqiong country and become an admirable existence. But...... But in the end, I hurt you......
"Sister, now that this is the case, it's better for you to be with Mo Hui!"
"Together?" It's easy to say, even if she can forget it, can Zhong Mohui do it. is also a man anyway, how can he allow him to change what he loves so easily, which will only force him to stay farther away from himself.
Hearing Zixin say this, Zhong Mohui was also stunned, and suddenly the guess in his heart was even firmer, and a pain spread from his heart.
"Sister, you saved him in the first place! I robbed you of your stuff. ”
"What's the point of talking about this now, some things can't go back for a long time!" Zitong suddenly didn't want to see his sister again, and rushed out at once, but caught a glimpse of the long figure standing upright at the door, wearing a moon-white embroidered bamboo robe, like an upright bamboo.
Zitong suddenly couldn't breathe in pain, she clearly remembered the back of him leaving in the morning, and she also felt sad, the Xin'er he was thinking about didn't really like him.
Xin'er had also chased out, and she also saw Zhong Mohui's existence, and she was stunned for a moment, she knew how much she had hurt Zhong Mohui just now, she was speechless for a while, and she finally felt guilty in the face of her sister and this man.
"Xin'er ......" couldn't say it for a while.
"Don't go back to my brother, I'...... I'm sorry for you......" seemed to know that she had done too much, and Zixin ran away all at once.
This series of things is the queen is the happiest, Xuanyuan Zitong, the most threatening existence, suddenly lost the qualification to compete for the saint forever, how can she not be happy.
It turned out that everything was so simple, just a wedding, and everything was reversed, thinking about Zixin, the princess who couldn't support the wall, the corners of the queen's lips hooked, and she looked proud.
At the right time, the second elder asked to see her, and told her a more happy thing, for a while, it seemed that all the haze had dissolved, and with this final blow, Xuanyuan Zitong was completely abolished.
On the solemn hall of the Danqiong Royal Court, the second elder stood with a gloomy face, and above the main hall, the King of Danqiong was late, and his slightly aged face suddenly aged a few years old, and it seemed that he had been hit a little hard recently.
He sat in the royal court, and to his left sat Her Highness the Holy Maiden.
"Second Elder, is there anything you want to do at this time?" King Danqiong asked majestically, but he couldn't hide the tired look on his face, obviously not having much interest in what was going on.
"Your Majesty, can you pass Princess Zitong to the palace?" The second elder asked.
Everyone looked at each other, who didn't know that Princess Zitong inexplicably appeared in the wedding room of Princess Zi Xin this morning, and became Zhong Mohui's bride, and since then she has completely lost the qualification to succeed the saint. When she was attacked, I was afraid that it would not be good for her to go to the temple, and most of the people in the world fell into the ground.
"Tong'er, it's good that she's not feeling well, if the second elder doesn't have something important, it's better not to disturb her." King Danqiong was a little displeased, and he also knew that this would not be a good thing.
In the main hall, the second elder didn't dare to be too presumptuous, but he didn't change his mind under the pressure of King Danqiong, because this court was already the world of the Holy Maiden, and King Danqiong didn't actually pose much of a threat, she knew that she had to give Zitong the final blow at this time, if they waited for the girl to react, they would have no chance.
"Your Majesty, it's a very important matter, and you can't say it until Princess Zitong comes."
"You are presumptuous!" King Danqiong was furious, and he didn't want to lose that daughter.
The second elder just lowered his head, but his face was not as pale, and he still insisted.
The holy woman said at the right time: "Your Majesty, since it is a big matter, let's ask Tong'er to come up and ask, this child is usually the most sensible, this is just a matter of understanding, there will be nothing wrong!" ”
Although King Danqiong didn't like this, even the holy maiden spoke, so he reluctantly summoned the attendant and said, "Go and Princess Zitong find it." ”
After a while, Zitong walked up to the hall, wearing a low-key purple dress, with countless small braids on her head, and a transparent drop of water falling between her forehead, dressed elegantly and low-key, her face was still pale, her pink delicacy was not applied, and her face was facing the sky, and the once hot woman seemed to have transformed into a quiet and plain woman overnight, and there seemed to be a melancholy cloud between her eyebrows.
"Princess Zitong, the old body is offended, but this matter is not trivial, I must ask you to come to the palace to ask."
"Ask!" Zitong has no sorrow or joy, she understands the truth that the tree is falling and scattering, and now she is no longer the one who will inherit the position of the saint, but an ordinary princess, who has missed power and has no support, isn't she fiddling with how she wants to be fiddled?
"There is a change in Water Moon Lake, does the princess know about this?"
Zitong seemed to have been struck by a thunderbolt, how could this matter be known so quickly, Shuiyuetan is very far away from here, and the elders will not go there often, not to mention that now is the time for the inheritance of the Holy Maiden, it is impossible for anyone to go over there to check, so it can only be that someone deliberately revealed the news.
"Princess Zitong is the highest talent for raising Gu in our Danqiong country, and she also has a lot of research on various poisons, you usually collect medicines everywhere, and everyone has nothing to say, but the fire lingzhi of Shuiyuetan is the treasure of our Danqiong, and it has been passed down for several generations since the first emperor and has never been willing to use it, but now it has been suddenly stolen."
Zitong's heart froze, and he suddenly felt that he was caught in a huge conspiracy, first he became Zhong Mohui's bride inexplicably, and now the matter of Shuiyuetan has been revealed, everything seems to have a hand overpowering, and she is the prey of the besieged.
