The atmosphere in the room was a little solemn, and the more everyone thought about it, the more they felt that they had fallen into a trap that had been set up by others, even if it was a secret letter that Gongsun Xian tried to send first, it might be a deliberate set up by the other party. Everyone waited for Gongsun Lan to draw conclusions, but they didn't think that she would ask such a digression coldly, and they were a little unable to come back to their senses.

The old woman's cheeks twitched in pain: "It's none of your business. ”

"Whatever I ask, you answer."

"I ...... of the enemy. The old woman didn't seem to expect Gongsun Lan to ask about this, so she paused for a moment. I don't know if I don't want to say it or hide it. With a thoughtful look in her eyes, Gongsun Lan seemed to have a guess about her origin, and said, "Your enemy is a member of the Baimeng, and moreover, he is a person from the palace. ”

The old woman trembled violently, and her shriveled lips snorted a few times: "What do you want to say?" ”

"Your eyes can see, right?" Gongsun Lan suddenly chuckled, and when she noticed that the old woman's eyes didn't seem to be blind, she suddenly remembered something that Yang Zhen had said to him, and said, "You used to be the holy daughter of the Hundred Alliances Witchcraft Clan, right?" ”

The old woman looked at Gongsun Lan in shock, and trembled uncontrollably: "How do you know!" ”

"I have a friend who has great powers and knows the world. He once told me a secret story in the palace of the Hundred Leagues. She slowly walked back to her seat and sat down, and said, "The holy daughter of the witchcraft family is the chosen one, and from the day she is born, she cannot come into contact with outsiders, so as to ensure that the holy woman's soul is not polluted. And the former saintess of Baimeng Witchcraft was shocked as a celestial as soon as she was born, because her eyes were pure white, but she could see. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at the old woman and were amazed, and Gongsun Lan saw that the old woman did not refute, and her lowered eyes seemed to be soaked in something. To continue:

"In the hearts of Baimeng people, the eyes are considered to be the meson of the soul and the things in the world, whether it is beautiful or ugly, it must enter the heart through the eyes, so these pure white eyes are considered to be a gift from God. So there is no doubt that the girl became a saint. The girl, like the saints of all previous generations, grew up peacefully until she was sixteen years old......"

"At the age of sixteen, it was the beginning of the bad fortune of my life...... the old woman seemed to want to hear about her life from others, and she took over the conversation herself, and said: "It was an ordinary summer day, when I was copying the Puran alone in the temple, but suddenly I heard something unusual in the temple, and I followed the sound. ”

"That was the first time I saw the face of another person, and at that time, I couldn't even tell the difference between a man and a woman. Because for as long as I can remember, all the people who came to me would cover their heads, faces and bodies, and I looked at him in amazement, and he looked at me with great curiosity. I didn't know what to say to him, but in the end, he spoke to me first. ”

The old woman was mired in deep memories, and something was fluctuating in those eyes, clouded by age. He asked, "Are you the daughter of God?" I didn't know what people outside called me, so I said, I don't know. He looked me up and down, and then smiled happily. ”

"He said, "Everyone says that you have a pair of eyes that are not stained with dust, and that is a gift from God, and I have always wondered why God gave you such eyes." So I kept wanting to come and see, but they all stopped me, saying that others would make the saint defile her soul. I don't believe it! I am the king of the future! God's will, too! How could I pollute the soul of the Holy Maiden? Besides, even if it is a saint, she will be under my rule in the future! I want to see if the saint will be polluted when she sees me! ”

The old woman smiled as if the boy was still standing in front of her.

"From then on, he would often come and talk to me from people, and he would ask me, 'Don't you feel lonely when you're here alone every day?' I asked him what loneliness was. He was silent for a moment before saying, I shouldn't have asked you that, because I still feel lonely with a group of people around me every day. Loneliness is that your heart is always floating in a barren place, not knowing where to go, and you will look at what others tell you to see. Whatever others give you, you want. ”

I didn't understand what he meant at the time, I just thought he was very unhappy, and he came less and less from that day on, and his mood became more and more depressed. When he didn't come, I felt what he called 'loneliness'. I tried to get in touch with things outside, but I couldn't. After a long time, I finally met him again, and he said that someone wanted to kill the king and fight him for the throne. He said that he would marry my sister, and that the sister of the witch could help her secure the throne. ”

The tears in the old woman's eyes finally welled up in her eyes, crackling uncontrollably. He asked me if I would ignore him because of that. I didn't understand what he meant, and I didn't even understand the inevitable connection, so I shook my head and said, as long as you are happy, how can I ignore you? I saw something in his eyes suddenly go out, and my heart ached unconsciously, as if I was clenched by something, and I couldn't breathe...... I wanted to ask him what that feeling was. But before the words could be spoken, there was a sudden noise outside. ”

She unconsciously clenched her hands and said, "I don't know what happened, but I saw his face gradually turn pale, and he said, Aslin, I have caused you trouble." As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the temple was pushed open suddenly, and I shuddered with fear at a loud voice. The people who usually served me rushed in, and they were shocked to see me standing with him, and they all lost their proportions. Then more people walked in, and the first one was the Yuhuan King of the current Baimeng. ”

When she said this, everyone present was crawling around in the midst of intrigue and trickery, and they could not help but sigh for a while, and their eyes looked at her with a little pity.

She said, "Next, he became a sinner who defiled the heart of the saint, and after the death of the king, he completely lost the right to inherit the throne. And I fell from the temple of the Holy Maiden, which was high up and looked up to by all people, and became a dirty and smelly rat in a prison...... But I have no regrets, instead of being a saint-like existence, it is better to end this loneliness earlier, hoping that in the next life I can get rid of such a fate and become an ordinary person. But I never imagined that the last blow to me was my loved one, my sister, ......whom I had never met."

"She yelled at me and asked me why, as a saint, I had the shame to seduce men and confuse her future husband. He could have been king, and she was the future queen, and I ruined it all...... She said that I was not a daughter of God at all, but a witch, and she wanted me to live forever in pain, and then she had people tie me up, and then use a dagger to strip my two calves off my body little by little......"

Aslin reached for her broken leg, and every wrinkle on her face seemed to be filled with hatred. "He was the one who rescued me before I was put to death. But he was also seriously injured and died......"

Gongsun Lan didn't know what to say about such a life, and said: "Although your experience is worthy of sympathy, it can't erase a fact. After all these years, you are no longer a good person. ”

"It is not him who stains my soul, but everyone but him!" Aslin's hatred was monstrous: "Later, my sister became the favorite concubine of King Yuhuan, and she still enjoys countless prosperity. And I'm living like dross......"

Gongsun Lan looked at her, she was not yet fifty years old, but she was already dying, and she knew that she had been in great pain over the years. "We are friends and foes, but we don't have a deep hatred. I won't mention you before you and I don't mention it for the time being. I would like to help you fulfill your little wish, and you will tell you everything you know...... How is it? ”

Aslin was coerced by Gongsun Lan and said a few truths, but they were just scratching the surface.

Aslin knew that Gongsun Lan's words would not be just words, so she raised her gray eyes and looked at her seriously, and asked, "What wish?" ”

"Your sister's son, Sna, the third prince of the Hundred Leagues, is now in my hands."

Hearing this, Aslin straightened her back and stared at her eyes, a trace of excitement and pleasure seeped out of those strange eyes: "What you said is true?" ”

"Bring people here."

Moonlight took the order and carried Sna, who was in a burlap bag in the corner. Yuechen wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end she didn't say anything, choosing to believe Gongsun Lan's decision.

The old woman stretched out her hand to open the bag, saw the sleeping Sna inside, looked at it carefully for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "That's right, this face is five points similar to my sister, and there are a few points, vaguely recognizable as the shadow of King Yuhuan...... Ha ha...... It's really clear, and the retribution is unpleasant! If my sister knew that there would be such a day, would she regret it? ”

Aslin's sister ruined her life because her future husband fell in love with the holy sister, so she took revenge on Aslin, who had never met and had no family affection...... Gongsun Lan sighed secretly in her heart, unable to tell who was right and who was wrong in the whole story. But how much better has Aslin done over the years than her sister? Isn't it all for their own selfishness to be cruel to others? It's just half a catty and eight taels.

"If there's anything else you want to know, just ask." Aslin calmed down and said lightly.

Gongsun Lan glanced at her and asked, "You people who have been co-opted are based in Shenyin Mountain Villa, will you still be assigned other tasks on weekdays?" ”

"Naturally, there is, and the business of the villa is not ordinarily good."

Gongsun Lan was stunned: "What business?" ”

"The business of killing." Aslin's attitude was very sincere, and he didn't say three points for seven points like at the beginning, and said, "That is...... The business of collecting money from people and eliminating disasters for others......"
