I am me, she is her, who is the shadow of who in this world? Who wants to be someone else's shadow?

I stayed in the small town inn for two days, and the wounds on my body gradually healed, these two days we ate separately, Mama will bring the meal over and eat with us, I asked Mama to leave the prince to eat alone, is it really good, Mama said that I am a guest should take care of more, and the prince is used to being alone.

Mama's habit is so relaxed, as if only the prince is alive in this world.

I haven't said a word to the prince for two days, he, like Chu Muxiu, always likes to be alone, I think I'll live like this, and I'll live like this with him in the future.

My grandmother told me all day long that the people there were simple, there were delicious things, beautiful houses, and it was a paradise. I listened more and more intriguingly, for the first time I was so eager to go to a place, and Mama was talking vigorously and there were bursts of piano outside the door, and the sound of the piano seemed to be more sad and intriguing today.

I asked Mama when she would return to Zixu, and Mama said that this is to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness has traveled all the year round in various countries, and I should also run around with him in the future, I said that I have also become accustomed to such a life of no fixed place and running around, if it is replaced by stability, I feel that it lacks a little charm.

When I walked out, he stopped playing, and just sat on the side with a Kong Ming lock in his hand. As I got closer, I saw his tightly knit brow, his rapid breathing and the locks in his hands that could not be unlocked, and the large and small fingerprints were printed on the locks, and the surface had faded the yellow wood that it should have, replaced by a pale white like his face.

"Your Highness is looking at things and thinking about people?"

He raised his eyebrows and immediately put away Kong Ming's lock, as if he was afraid that I would see through anything in his heart.

"Mama is talking too much again?"

He is smart and changes the subject in addition to answering questions that are not asked. I put my hands on my knees and sat down with my waist bent, "I pestered my grandmother to tell me." ”

"That's what I said, Mama knows what to say and what not to say, and she is a person who understands the general situation."

In his words, he implied that I was not a person of general knowledge, but I would not have been angry for these things that were more trivial than trivialities.

I think that's what it's called coming of age.

"You're not afraid of me?"

"You and I are both human beings, so why are we afraid?"

He seemed startled, raised his head slightly, and glanced at me briefly, but that glance made my scalp tingle, and seemed to be able to see everything about me. I also learned his tricks to answer non-questions, which may be challenging his bottom line, and the lower his bottom line, the less afraid I am.

I asked him, "Your Highness, can you let me see this Kong Ming lock?" ”

He was so reluctant and even mocking: "You won't unravel it." ”

"And what about Your Highness, didn't Your Highness untie it too?"

"You ......"

He was as speechless as a dumb man eating coptis, and dropped his head to the other side, and it was clear that my rhetorical question had succeeded.

"I've never seen anything as interesting as this in Tianyue, Your Highness should open my eyes."

He hesitated for a moment and handed it to me: "Then be careful." ”

"Definitely."

The method of agitation is indeed useful, especially for those who are soft-hearted.

Kong Ming lock is a wooden structure, the appearance is a tightly knit cross cube, I held it in my hand for a long time, the concave and convex parts of this kind of inserting equipment are meshed, very ingenious, it is really difficult to untie, no wonder he has no results for so long. I've never liked such complicated things, and besides, it's hard to unravel, but I still have to have a fire in my heart. Tianyue people live a good life, there has never been such a thing on the market, which also caters to me.

"How long has Your Highness been relieved?"

"Two years."

Mama said that Ling Yue had been dead for two years, maybe this was something she gave him before she died, so when I thought about it, I cherished the Kong Ming lock in my hand more and more.

"Does Your Highness want to untie it?"

He didn't speak, and his arrogant face seemed to have a dream written on it.

"I have a way to open this lock."

"Prince Ben has spent two years without a clue, how can you unlock this lock after just a few glances?"

I chuckled and said, "Whatever method I use, just unlock this lock, right?" ”

He didn't speak, but I knew from the look in his eyes that he was waiting to see what I was doing.

I took the Kong Ming lock in my hand again, and in the afterglow, he kept staring at me, it should be said that he was staring at the Kong Ming lock in my hand, and as soon as I squinted, he hurriedly turned his face to the side, as if he was afraid that I would do something to this lock, but I just wanted to do something to this lock.

Kong Ming lock turned over and over in my hand, and when he was not paying attention, he slammed Kong Ming lock to the ground, and the wooden Kong Ming lock was instantly torn apart. He first looked at the shattered Kong Ming lock on the ground, and when he turned his head, it was like a different person, those eyes full of anger, as if they were going to tear me apart and swallow me alive.

Before I could explain, he drew a sword from behind him and placed it around my neck.

"Why did you destroy it when you only said it was unraveled, do you know that it was the last thing she left me!" There was even a hint of murderous intent in his cold tone.

It's just a lock, he's like this, and he even wants to take my life, it seems that he really cares about her, or or that I am far inferior to a lock in his opinion.

"But I have already asked His Highness, and said that no matter what method is used, His Highness has never refuted it."

The sword in his hand approached my neck more and more: "You are reversing right and wrong, and you are using strong words!" ”

"Fast and broken, slow and sluggish, this is the truth of things in the world." The sword was on my neck, and I hardly dared to gasp for breath for fear that the sword would pierce my neck if I was not careful.

He roared like a wolf: "If you destroy it, the prince will kill you!" ”

I was bent on doing good things, I never thought that the prince would value this lock so much, the world says that the person who is in danger and loves is a crazy person, and I should not have taken this risk if I knew that this was the case.

Even if he said he wanted to kill me, I don't think he would, and if he did, why bother talking to me, I looked to the ground again and again, and saw that there was a hole in the loose pile of wood that seemed to hide something.

"Your Highness, please see that there seems to be something hidden in the tattered lock."

He was still holding a sword at me, but he refused to make a move: "Kong Ming's lock has been destroyed by you, and now there is only a pile of scattered wooden blocks in front of me. ”

"Now His Highness kills me like a turtle in this urn, my life is in the hands of His Highness, does Your Highness think that I will be so stupid that I don't even care about my own life?"

He still didn't believe me and wouldn't let go, the blade was so close to my neck that it could pierce my neck if I leaned forward. I could only reach out and grasp the blade, and the palm of my hand was pierced with bright red blood, which flowed all the way down my arm to the blade and then dripped on the ground, and he was stunned and I took advantage of the situation to snatch the sword in his hand and threw it aside.

I stepped forward to pick up the wooden block, and there was a glass bead as big as a thumb hidden inside, this bead was bright in color, round and smooth in texture, and it looked like a first-class treasure like the blood-red wolf bead. I took it and turned around under the sun, the sunlight hit the glass beads on the unusually transparent and exquisite, and gradually the beads faintly showed a pattern, no, it is not a pattern is a word, it is a movable type. I finally understood that this bead can only hide the word when it encounters light, this word is engraved on the glass bead, the glass bead is hidden in the Kong Ming lock, and the Kong Ming lock is so difficult to unlock, it can be seen that Ling Yue's mind is really a woman who gathers wisdom.

I was a little distracted by my thoughts, and the prince snatched the glass bead from behind me, and I got up and looked at him left and right at the bead, and his expression gradually began to stiffen.

"Live? It's really her handwriting! ”

The prince held the beads in his hand and slowly sat down in front of Yuqin again, "You know, we used to love each other so much, my life was almost dark before I met her, I thought we could always be like this, with the beauty in each other's hearts and live." But when I came back, I couldn't see her anymore, and instead there was a pile of loess, and my father buried her alive. They all said she was dead, but I didn't believe it, I knelt in the pile of loess and dug with my bare hands for a whole day, and when I dug until my fingers were blurred, I finally saw her with a pale face in the loess, and all she had in her hand was this Kong Ming lock, and I knew that I had lost her forever. ”

This world is so cruel, we all came to this world for our own mission, and we all have our own bodies. I originally thought that Chu Muxiu and I were unfortunate enough, but I didn't expect that there would be a sad story in Zixu Kingdom, which was thousands of miles away from us.

He put away the arrogance and rudeness in front of him, and lowered his head with a hint of a smile, "I actually didn't know why she had to hold on to this Kong Ming lock tightly, it took two years to understand the truth, but you only took less than a pillar of incense to untie it, I think I am really useless." ”

"Your Highness doesn't have to blame yourself so much, I can see that you really love her, in fact, Your Highness is not unable to unlock this Kong Ming lock, it is His Highness who is unwilling to untie it, if His Highness unties his heart, he will not be able to find anything to sustenance when he misses her, you are just clinging to a thing for too long, and it has gradually become a habit and can no longer be forgotten and put down. This bead is engraved with movable type, and I think she must want you to live well. ”

In the past, I never believed that such meaningful words as today would one day come out of my mouth, and these words were not so much used to comfort the prince as to say them to myself, but the more I said it, the more empty my heart became, and the more I wanted to find something to fill it.

I don't know if he listened to me a lot, but I could see the tears in the corners of his eyes and the beads that were stuck to the blood in my hands, and his tears merged with mine and mixed into a faint stream of blood.

He suddenly apologized to me: "I was reckless just now, how about the injury on your hand?" ”

I hid my hand in the pocket of my coat: "It's fine, it's just a flesh wound."

He tore a strip of cloth from his body and roughly bandaged the wound with me.

"It's better to bandage it, if a small injury is not treated in time, it will definitely cause a serious illness, and this injury is caused by me."

"What if, I mean, if she's still alive and your father tells you to marry me?"

"Take her and elope."

I was not surprised at all when I heard what he said, and I was not jealous at all, and even more wanted to bless them, I envied all the beautiful love in this world.

He seemed to suddenly brighten up a lot, and actually began to praise me, "You are very smart and courageous, if you are a man, we will definitely be pulled into the battlefield, and we will do something." ”

I replied to him: "If we are in Tianyue, you will definitely be immersed in a pig cage if you elope with another daughter and come back and come back." ”
