Chapter 298: Choice
What will she have to do to be free?
Ruan Thanh didn't understand what His Highness was talking about freedom.
And every time she asked while eating candy, the girl who sat beside her and wiped her sword just smiled helplessly, and finally touched her head and told her that she would understand when she grew up.
But at this time, when Ruan Qing looked at the eyes of the queen of heaven, she felt as if she understood something.
"Originally, at your age, you would be worried that you would not be able to take care of yourself, so you generally don't let the little palace maid out of the palace." The woman on the dragon chair also took a deep breath, then looked at her and said patiently.
"But I have already found a family for you outside the palace, after leaving the palace, you can live in that family's house first, they will take care of you, and when you grow up, you will choose ......"
At this time, Ruan Qing did one of the most daring things in her life.
To this day, she doesn't understand where she got the courage back then.
That can be said to be the bravest time of her life.
She...... interrupted His Majesty the Emperor's words.
The little palace maid who was kneeling on the ground raised her head, looked at the female emperor on the dragon chair, and spoke for the first time, saying something other than her etiquette.
The little girl's voice trembled like the wailing of a young beast.
"I can ......"
"Choice?"
The emperor on the dragon chair was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the little girl kneeling on the ground in a daze.
Ruan Qing knew that this was a great crime of disrespect. Not only did she refuse His Majesty the Emperor's kindness on the spot, but she also spoke disrespectfully, even if she was executed on the spot, it would not be surprising. But she said it anyway. And there was not the slightest fear in her eyes.
And the reaction of all normal emperors.
None.
The woman on the dragon chair just looked at her silently, for a long, long time, as if looking through her, looking at something else.
And after a long silence, the queen of heaven spoke slowly.
"What do you want, what do you choose?"
"Do you have, what do you wish?"
What kind of lifestyle do you want to choose?
What kind of life does she want to choose?
Ruan Qing thought that she didn't know that she had to live a life since she was a child, and her biggest wish in life was to have food and drink, and nothing to do.
However, under the gaze of the greatest woman of that time, the figure appeared in front of her eyes.
The figure that held the sword countless times, left the warm palace, and walked outside to the wind and rain.
Ruan Qing seemed to have returned to her past self, the little girl sitting in the corner with her knees in her arms, looking at the back of the same young girl.
Looking at that back, Ruan Qing raised his head in a daze.
"I want to be like His Highness."
It's a wish that makes people laugh off their big teeth.
A lowly palace maid who has no power to restrain a chicken actually wants to compare with the princess of Zhenguo who has left countless legends?
There is also a degree of ignorance.
This can't be said to be a child's joke, it's ridiculous.
It's so outrageous that normal people will only take it as a joke.
People who know Princess Yingluan will first burst into laughter when they hear her words, and then they will be angry.
But the woman on the dragon chair once again subverted Ruan Qing's imagination.
She didn't laugh.
She just stared at herself for a long time, her eyes surging with emotions that Ruan Qing couldn't understand at that time, and then spoke quietly.
How did the woman on the dragon chair answer her at the time?
She didn't laugh, she didn't get angry, she didn't even take it as a joke, she just exhaled slowly, and then said seriously.
"That's hard."
Ruan Qing raised her head in a daze, and then the queen of heaven continued to say seriously.
"But you can try it one step at a time."
"If this is the life you really want to choose, I'm here for you."
Ruan Qing couldn't believe his ears, and just stared blankly at the noble woman in the high place, until the queen of heaven spoke again
"Let's start with a specific wish."
Then she spoke. In one sentence, it changed her life after that.
"I want to be a swordsman, a swordsman like Your Highness."
Even such a wish is enough to be imaginative.
At that time, she didn't know anything about cultivation, and she didn't even know that even with His Majesty's help, she had to have the qualifications to become a cultivator in order to become a swordsman.
But now that I think about it, only the self who knew nothing at the beginning, who didn't know the height of the sky, had the courage to make such a choice.
And the lady knew everything, but she didn't dispel her unrealistic illusions, and looked at her after contemplation.
"Is that your choice?"
At that time, she only knew that she nodded desperately, "The slave will not hesitate to pay for her life." ”
She knew that the road ahead of her would be extremely difficult.
But she is already not afraid of hardship.
"In that case, all I can do is send you to one place." The woman in the dragon chair stared deeply at her.
"And when you get there, success or failure can only depend on your own creation."
That lady is always right.
At that time, when she was sending her away, the words of the queen of heaven echoed in her ears.
"Once there, where you're from, who you've lived with in the past, forget everything, and you'll have a new identity."
"You're going to let go of everything you've had in the past."
The place where she was sent.
It's called Xiliang Sword Pavilion.
And from that day on, she became Ruan Qing.
……
……
She gave everything and became Ruan Qing. And after hearing the bad news of the death of the queen of heaven and the promise of the national scholar Gushi, she was determined to take back His Royal Highness's sword.
That's her obsession.
It is her obsession to practice swordsmanship desperately, forget to sleep and eat, and be willing to sacrifice everything.
From the moment she came to His Highness, the sword was inseparable from His Highness.
In her heart, this sword is the doppelganger of His Highness.
She did everything in her power to get her hands on the sword.
Unexpectedly, she hurt the owner of this sword on this road.
She was so wrong that she didn't know how to remedy it, and she trembled with fear.
"I ......"
"You're not wrong."
However, just when Ruan Qing's heart was about to be crushed by the huge emotion that he had not seen for a long time, he heard that strange and familiar voice.
The girl's eyelashes were stained with tears, but she smiled at her like the warm spring sun.
Looking at the thin woman holding the sword, when she recognized Ruan Qing as Ruan Ruan, Zhu Luan seemed to have been hit on the head with a heavy hammer.
It's not Ruan Qing who is wrong, it's her, it's her who didn't protect this child.
Zhu Luan knows very well what it takes for a little girl who has never been familiar with the world to become a lonely swordsman in front of her, and even some parts she can't empathize with.
Knowing everything, so it hurts even more.
The little girl with round cheeks like apples in her memory coincided with the face of the thin-faced woman in front of her.
Only this child, Zhu Luan originally didn't want her to go down the same path as herself.
This is her iniquity.
Her Nguyen Nguyen.
Zhu Luan quietly leaned towards Ruan Qing.
"No...... Temple...... Don't come here. Ruan Qing looked at the sword in his hand at a loss.
The sharp sword pierced Zhu Luan's shoulder and broke out.
But she ended up embracing the girl in her arms.
"Don't be afraid, Ruan Ruan, don't be afraid."
Ruan Qing's hand holding the sword trembled violently. Baidu: Read the latest chapter of "Yingluan Jiezhong Literature" for free for the first time.
