Hyakki Night Walk: Nagabehime (3)

"It doesn't matter how many sins you suffer, I just want you to be yourself." Qin Wu put his hand on my (chest), and a gentle warmth went straight to his heart: "Remember my words tonight, you have never owed anyone. When you are at your most desperate, you must remember to let go of the past and live for yourself. Then my sins were not in vain. ”

There was a sound of footsteps in the outer hall, and she bowed her head and retreated three feet away. I looked at her slender figure, never expecting that this would be the last thing she would say to me in her life.

The next day, my father and mother went to the palace with me, and he said that he had been in poor health recently and wanted to arrange for me to get married first. The queen mother was very happy, saying that I married Wan Yue, and it was also a big thing in her heart.

Father frowned: "Who said it was Wanyue?" The lonely crown princess is Qin Wu. ”

The queen mother stared at her in disbelief: "Where is Qin Wu's slut!" If you like her, accept it, and give it to Che'er! ”

The father was furious: "Qin Wu, this child is Hegu's heart, except for her, no one is worthy of the position of crown princess." The lonely mind has been decided, you go back and prepare. ”

When we left the palace, Qin Wu was waiting outside the palace, and the queen mother looked at her viciously, if her eyes could kill, Qin Wu would probably fall to the ground and die in an instant.

Wan Yue cried for three whole days, and the queen mother meditated in the dormitory for three days with a gloomy face. On the fourth day, everything quietly returned to normal. I thought they were slowly coming to terms with this fact, however, I underestimated them......

Late at night on the seventh day, I was woken up by a commotion in a daze, and I only heard a noise in the corridor: "The incense hall is on fire!" ”

I sat up in surprise and hurriedly ran towards the Incense Hall. The father arranged for Qin Wu to temporarily live in the Ningxiang Hall before the wedding, who knew that this kind of change would occur.

The incense hall was in flames, and I was stopped outside by the internal officials, and the queen mother and Wan Yue also arrived.

"Don't you want to die!" The queen mother glared at me, Wan Yue grabbed my arm so hard that her nails were almost embedded in the flesh, and I was in a trance, and even the pain became nothing.

"What the hell is going on, Qin Wu?" The Father and Emperor hurried over.

"Who knows, I don't think she's going to have a blessed life. So many people escaped, and she was able to sleep and die inside."

Before the queen mother could speak, a cry for help came from the inner hall: "Help, help!" ”

"I'm tied, help me! I can't die, father, save me! ”

"What a terrible woman, she still wants to be the crown princess when she is dying." The queen mother snorted coldly and looked at her father provocatively.

"I can't die, I can't die......" The dreamlike voice pierced the heartstrings: "Father, father, save me!" There is a road in the sky, and the flying dragon is in the sky. Father, save me! ”

"Oh my God, you, you madman!" My father's face was a look of horror that I had never seen before, and he pushed his mother away, broke free from the crowd, and stumbled towards the hall.

I closed my eyes, and the flames of the past rekindled in my mind, and with a bang, the palace walls fell, and my gloomy sky collapsed with it......

"Didn't the emperor and Qin Wu escape?" Twilight asked, "But you only said that Qin Wu was dead, and the emperor was just injured." ”

"The queen mother concealed the news and refused to mourn." The corners of my mouth raised a mocking arc, Qin Wu, I'm sorry, in this life and this life, I am destined not to be myself.

"The emperor promised the eldest prince to give him freedom in the year of his weak crown. It turned out that it wasn't a broken promise, but、" Twilight sighed, "The eldest prince's heart settlement is undone, and I should also go." However, I also think Qin Wu's words are reasonable, you don't owe anyone, but they took away your life that should have been safe and peaceful. ”

Twilight turned to leave, and I sat down in front of the desk dejectedly, ready to borrow wine to kill my sorrows, but as soon as the wine was poured, I heard a commotion outside. When I rushed out, Twilight Snow was already kneeling on the snow by several officials.

"Brother Prince, you are really confused, this slut almost ran to report to Xuanyuan Ming." Wan Yue looked at me complainingly: "Whenever a woman looks a little like Qin Wu, she is a good person." ”

"Please, don't say it!" I suddenly felt a wave of disgust, I could only be a shadow when I was alive, and I would have to bear a stigma after I died: "I owe you, but Qin Wu never owes you." ”

Wan Yue was about to refute, but saw King Su leading several teams of guards over, and his indifferent expression was definitely not good. Wan Yue leaned nervously on my side, but fortunately, the queen mother and uncle also arrived in time with someone.

Several of the guards pushed the officials away and grabbed Twilight, and King Su reached out and pulled her face, tearing off a human skin mask.

"Qin Wu!" Everyone exclaimed, and my eyes widened and I was speechless for a while.

"I'm Qin Wu?" Qin Wu was at a loss: "The eldest prince said that I was a palace maid who was executed, and I was afraid that I would be recognized, so I was,"

I suddenly remembered that the emperor's biological mother's biological mother was because of the appearance of a concubine who died of illness because of Yi Rongcheng, and gained the favor of her father, thus committing the crime of defrauding the emperor. Unexpectedly, after many years, the royal brother still inherited her skills.

"He has the heart to send you back to the prince for a reunion, but it's a pity that you don't have this blessing." King Su raised his chin, and the guard next to him brought a torch and stood behind Qin Wu.

"I won't say much gossip, hand over the jade seal quickly, otherwise, I will burn her."

The queen mother raised her eyebrows and glanced at King Su: "Is King Su thinking about rebelling and usurping the throne all day long, and there is a problem with his mind?" Then I'll leave you to do it for the main palace. ”

King Su snorted coldly and approached Qin Wu with the torch, Qin Wu was choked and coughed, and her clear eyes reflected a piece of firelight, but she didn't struggle, but looked at the flames in front of her in horror, her face was as pale as snow, she should have remembered the fire a year ago......

"Uncle Su, Qin Wu has nothing to do with this matter, you can let her go."

King Su didn't pay attention to me, but looked at his uncle mockingly: "What is Uncle Guo laughing at?" Laughing at the king of confusion? Hmph, no matter how foolish I am, I won't make wedding clothes for others. Why do you think Qin Hu ignored his daughter and didn't even bother to frown when he heard the news of death? That's because,"

"Lord Wang, I know where the jade seal is hidden, please take a step to speak," Qin Wu suddenly struggled to grab King Su's arm, his eyes full of horror and pleading.

"Why do you tell me, I'm going to let them send it to me with their own hands." King Su choked Qin Wu's throat: "Uncle Guo, let me tell you-"

Qin Wu shook his head desperately, tears flashed in his eyes, and I suddenly felt a great fear, and my body trembled uncontrollably. King Su's voice seemed to float from the sky: "Qin Hu had long expected that you would seize his military power in the future, so he took the lead and bought off the nurse in your house, and dropped his daughter with your daughter." ”

Heaven and earth were silent, and I don't know how long it took for me to hear the heart-rending screams of the queen mother.

Father, I can't die......

It's not that she wants to be the crown princess, but because she's a snow princess.

Those eyes that had already seen everything had never had a look of resentment, but hidden endless warmth and comfort. At this moment, she was still there begging-

"Uncle Wang, as long as you let them go, I will immediately ascend to Biluo Pavilion to ensure that your throne is stable and our Xiao Kingdom is becoming more and more prosperous."

King Su looked proudly at the queen mother who was sitting on the snow, obviously he didn't expect such a gain. He politely helped Qin Wu up: "Since the Snow Princess has opened Chrysostom, then I will let them live." ”

"On that day, my father protected me and opened the secret passage of the Ning Xiang Hall to let me escape. He said that he snubbed you in the past, and now he has paid it off. After that, you will let go of these worldly clouds and live a good life. ”

After Qin Wu said goodbye to his mother, he looked sideways at me, and his eyes were as soft and gentle as when he first saw him: "I said it a long time ago, you have never owed anyone, never. ”

Qin Wu turned around and walked towards the mirage that had given me infinite shadows. The royal brother who came in a hurry stood on the edge of the steps, his eyes full of sorrow.

As I walked down the long stone steps, I felt as if I had been evacuated and had no strength, and the snow beneath my feet let out a broken moan.

The imperial brother walked beside me worriedly: "Xiao Wu told me when I first met that I could leave the palace when I was twenty years old, and she asked me to take care of you. ”

I couldn't speak, there was only one thought in my heart that took possession of everything, I actually let the person I really owe to accompany me to atone for that trumped-up sin, when she followed me and Wan Yue, watching the two people who stole her life talk and laugh, what was it like? Is there anything more cruel in the world?

"She, she's not even had a good day......" The queen mother's mournful voice was slow and confused, and she fell into the hell she had laid for herself earlier.

"When you are at your most desperate, you must remember to let go of the past and live for yourself. Then my sins were not in vain. ”

I raised my head, and a white light seemed to appear in the gray sky for a long time, and I turned around and ran in the direction of Biluo Pavilion......

I've never been so brave in my life. The sharp blade pierced into the chest, and the cold and painful feeling spread throughout the body, have you ever been so desperate?

"Ah Che," Qin Wu hurriedly ran down, his teary eyes seemed to me to have an intoxicating halo.

I squeezed her hand with the last of my strength, and let her nails draw a long red line in my palm, if there is an afterlife, I will give everything I have to live for Qing onceβ€”

*

I stood on the Biluo Pavilion and looked at the sky, although it was a summer day when the fire lotus flowers were in full bloom, the long wind blew the crystal hair, and the ice and snow of the past reappeared in front of my eyes.

Everything that year disappeared with the melting of the ice and snow, and all that remained was the memory of the green silk dyed with snow.

The snow princess turned white overnight, in exchange for the spring flowers of the Xiao country, the melancholy and lonely teenager must be able to enter the reincarnation with peace of mind, but over the years, the heart is still faintly painful, as if the silk thread of concern is still tightly tied at the other end, where should the sympathetic feelings be?

"You're the Snow Princess?" The white figure landed on the railing as lightly as a spirit bird, and the young man's handsome face stopped like a picture scroll at the moment he saw me, and his eyes changed from confusion to warmth.

"When the next snow princess is born, how about I take you to see the outside world?" The boy stretched out his hand to me, and there was a red line in his palm, like a rainbow after the snow.

"But it's going to be a long time to wait......"

"It's okay, I'm here with you." The boy shook my hand: "It doesn't matter if I'm here forever, it's good to have you." ”
