Chapter 2 Drugs for Living Persons
The prince of Chaohengguo has seen countless women, but they are all imaginary. Only this princess looks a little interesting, and is a stunner worth exploring deeply.
Xu knew that he had just been rude, so he hurriedly stood aside and waited for his father to give an order.
The old emperor also saw Yan Zi's appearance clearly from a distance, and he was indeed captivating. However, there were so many such women in the imperial city, so the old emperor didn't care about it at all and didn't say anything more. With a wave of his big hand, he motioned to the palace people to take the princess down to rest.
Only then did Princess Yan Zi stand up, and glanced at the emperor on the dragon chair as she followed the steps of the palace people. This is an old man who is more than half a hundred years old and has a gray beard, although he has already thought about this helpless situation, but when he really sees it, he still has some pimples in his heart. But he couldn't show it, so he could only follow with his words and deeds. All the way through the corridors and alleys, I finally arrived at the house. The palace maid straightened her waist and didn't say a word, but made a gesture of please. When they entered, they closed the door and retreated.
This move made Shi Yanshang very dissatisfied, and muttered in a low voice, "Sister Yan Zi, they are too much." Even a little palace maid is so arrogant, don't forget that you are the future princess, she is not afraid of killing us like this! β
Yan Zi smiled bitterly, "Hmph, imperial concubine? I'm afraid I won't be able to take my turn in the next life. β
"Sister Yan Zi, what do you mean by this?" Shi Yanshang was a little surprised, why did she say this when it was a good day today, as if she was very depressed. Shouldn't it be what you think it is?
Yan Zi explained indifferently, his cold and arrogant eyes were full of firmness, and he was not afraid, "Chaoheng and Xingguo are both countries of Middle Earth, and the cultural differences between the two countries will not be too big." It stands to reason that today should be a canonization ceremony, but the emperor has never decreed canonization. He also sent his son to lift his hijab, which was obviously an insult to our dynasty. Since we left the country, there has never been any friendly behavior of courtesy, so I am sure that this canonization will not be so easy, and there must be something going on. Yanshang, we don't know a lot of things when we first arrive, so it's better to be cautious in words and deeds. β
Shi Yanshang nodded in agreement. Then I wanted to spread out the quilt and wait for Yan Zi to sleep, but after taking a good look at the house, I felt that something was wrong.
"Sister Yan Zi, it stands to reason that you are the princess who came to kiss. Shouldn't they arrange a concubine's dormitory for you to live in, why is this room so small and smaller than the slave's house? And there is no joy around, and there is no big wedding atmosphere at all. They made it clear that they were deliberately trying to make things difficult for us! Sister Yan Zi, we have been treated like this when we first arrived, how will the future be! Shi Yanshang was a little worried, thinking about the days without sunshine in the future, he felt even more bitter, and the little tears were already rolling and about to fall.
Yan Zi saw it in his eyes, but he didn't wipe it, but his face became even more gloomy, "Swallow the tears!" In this place where people eat people, there is no reason to say at all. Your tears will only prove your cowardice, and your cowardice can only betray your fate! Being cruel to yourself is good to yourself. β
The cold and domineering words were like a cold-blooded person without emotion, and for a moment Shi Yanshang had the illusion of a sense of distance. But at the same time, she understands that she is right.
"Sister Yan Zi, we don't want to do so much. The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, God will help us, why don't you sleep first, I'll help you close the window. Shi Yanshang hurriedly wiped away his tears, barely squeezed out a smile, and pretended to be relaxed.
When I arrived at the window, I found that there was a wall outside, as if the emperor couldn't see the emperor's dormitory from the three floors inside and the three floors outside. Perhaps Heaven had mercy and sent a living creature as a companion. An injured crow broke in by mistake, just in time for Yan Zi to see.
I don't know where the idea came from, so I quickly stepped forward and raised my foot, wanting to step on it to death.
"Wait!" Shi Yanshang was surprised, and hurriedly rushed over to rescue the crow, "It's just a little crow, and it won't hurt you, why are you so ruthless that you won't even let go of the little animal." Moreover, it was wounded. β
Shi Yanshang was a little reproachful, but Xu was eager to love, so he lost his words. But Yan Zi didn't care, he still looked indifferent, and explained coldly: "It has been injured and can no longer win in its kind." In that case, why don't you die for a hundred years, otherwise you will be insulted even more if you live! β
Shi Yanshang was stunned and speechless, not knowing what kind of trauma Yan Zi had suffered, and why his thoughts were so extreme. But fortunately, she is a kind-hearted person, even if the disguise is cold, her eyes still accidentally reveal a trace of tenderness.
When Shi Yanshang bandaged the crow's wounds, he glanced faintly here. Shi Yanshang saw it clearly but didn't say anything, continued to bandage the crow, babbling something with his mouth open, and then saw the crow flapping its wings as if in response to her.
Yan Zi looked puzzled: "Are you talking to it?" β
Shi Yanshang smiled and said, "Yes, this little crow is really pitiful, he has lived in the palace since he was a child. Its parents were taken down and shot dead by the playful concubines and princesses. It also says that we are living in the royal family's ancestral temple. β
"Jongmyo?" Yan Zi was incredulous: "What the crow told you too?" β
Shi Yanshang nodded seriously, "Yes." But it's strange why we weren't taken into the palace and put in the temple instead. Could it be that they plan to treat us as palace maids who sweep the mausoleum? β
Yan Zi smiled evilly, "That's fine. Is it not purified to turn away from the land of right and wrong? It's much easier to deal with a dead person than it is to a living person. Anyway, Xingguo asks for peace, and I'm already here. Chao Hengguo asked to sweep the emperor's mausoleum, and I did not object. As long as mom and dad are fine, they can do anything. It didn't matter if she said it, but Shi Yanshang saw it very clearly, and when she said the second half of the sentence, her eyes still showed a little regret and discomfort.
Yes, what child has endured the pain of being away from his parents?
"If you come here, you will be safe, maybe this is our fate." Shi Yanshang was pale and weakly comforted.
Yan Zi smiled and said no more.
The next day, someone knocked on the door, and it was an old man in white clothes and white hair, followed by a large group of soldiers who were fully armed and armed with weapons. It doesn't seem right to look at this battle. Shi Yanshang was a little afraid, and always felt a bloodthirsty coldness rise to the back of his head, and subconsciously glanced at Yan Zi.
Yan Zi was still calm, without any expression, and no one knew what mood she was in at this time.
The old man was a little frightened when he saw Shi Yanshang, and immediately withdrew the soldiers, and then explained with a smile and politely, "The minister of the Hengguo National Teacher, Zhuge Immortal greets Her Royal Highness the Princess." Princess, please come with your ministers. β
Princess? Sure enough, the emperor of Chaohengguo didn't want to accept this marriage, so why did he agree to the peace policy, what did they want to do? Maybe you can find out with this national teacher.
Yan Zi had doubts, and followed closely, Shi Yansheng had no relatives and no reason, and only Yan Zi was here for a reason, and naturally he would not leave an inch.
But no one expected that the national teacher and a group of soldiers would actually take them to a remote place. Not to mention the deserted place, it is full of the strong smell of charcoal, and it is burned black all around. If you guessed correctly, this should be the burning ground of the Imperial Palace. Look at the soldiers, heavily armed and armed with sharp weapons, as if they were escorting them to the execution ground, or burning them.
"National teacher, what do you mean by this?" Yan Zi looked at the national teacher beside him coldly, and only when he turned his head did he realize that the national teacher who was walking side by side just now had kept a considerable safe distance from him at some point.
Fang was still smiling, and this would suddenly become serious and serious, as if he had really done a very sacred event.
"Congratulations, princess. You have successfully chosen to be the Elixir for this Immortal Pill. This is a glorious and sacred task, and your departure will bring light and hope to the great and prosperous kingdom of Chaoheng. As long as the emperor can become immortal, his never-ending sun will always shine on our people. Therefore, Your Royal Highness, your sacrifice is sacred, and the people of our dynasty will always remember you! β
The national teacher is still boasting, his words and deeds are exaggerated to the extreme, and this public opinion can really confuse everyone. Yan Zi listened to it ridiculously, but the old emperor was afraid of death and invited the magic stick to make the medicine of immortality. And this god stick took the opportunity to make a windfall. Behind this harmony is just the lack of a person to send to death, but at this time, Xingguo asked for harmony, so she became a victim of this god's lie. Anyway, it's not the royal bloodline, Xingguo doesn't pay attention to it, and Chaohengguo is even more dispensable, so she has become the best choice.
"Princess, I hope you are well. Someone, tie her, and put a torch on her. As soon as the national teacher gave the order, all the soldiers rushed up and forcibly put Yan Zi and Shi Yan's clothes on the fire rack.
Shi Yanshang was already at a loss for fear, and scolded vigorously. But Yan Zi still handled it calmly, as if the fire would not burn on him. This is naturally impossible, but she is sure that she can get out of it with her whole body, so she is not afraid.
"Ignitionβ" The loud voice of fate sounded, and then the raging fire began to wrap up like a python along the firewood.
"Sister Yan Zi, my teacher Yanshang has long been homeless. His parents were imprisoned because of the decline of the reformists, and their heads were in different places. It was you and General Yan who once again gave me the warmth of home. I treat you as a good sister, so no matter where you go, even if you die, I am willing to follow you! Shi Yanshang tried her best to hide the fear in her heart, and said to Yan Zi with tears, she was worried that there would be no chance if she didn't say it at this time.
The corners of Yan Zi's mouth began to twitch, and his cold face trembled slightly. His fists began to clench, and he concentrated on trying to gather all the internal forces into his hands in order to break free from the rope.
But at this moment, a heavy rain suddenly fell in the sky, and the flames were extinguished in an instant. Seeing this, Yan Zi quietly suppressed his internal force again, ready to wait and see what happened.
Everyone was surprised to see it, but they didn't expect the rain to fall as soon as it was said, and they were defenseless. Besides, the national teacher clearly said that it wouldn't rain today, so why did it rain? Could it be that this person is a witch? All the soldiers drew their sharp weapons one after another, staring vigilantly at the two demon girls on the fire rack.
