Chapter 5: The Abyss (5)
Hearing this, the mother was stunned again.
His mother was stunned for a long time, and then he heard her laugh helplessly.
"How can there be someone like you in this world?"
The girl looked at her quietly, and there was doubt in her tone, "If you die, I will lose my trust." β
I'm afraid that only that girl in this world would think like this, normal people are afraid to avoid death row prisoners, who cares about the so-called promise?
The other party is dead, how can someone still take advantage of the other party's death to fulfill their promises?
"You are really more like Yueniang's daughter than Yueniang's daughter." He heard his mother sigh deeply.
The great emotion in that sentence was something he understood a long, long time later.
"But if you look like her like this, you will suffer a lot in the future."
Princess Qi looked at the girl standing straight at the door of the prison with a complicated expression.
"I was originally her daughter." The girl replied solemnly.
"Well, I was wrong. No one is more than you. The mother replied with a laugh.
"If you don't say I'll forget," said the young woman, laughing helplessly, "I just gave you a piece of cake, but you made me a wish." β
There is a secret that only the children of their families who grew up in troubled times know. The most precious thing in Middle-earth is not a divine soldier, not power, but a woman's favor.
Now Princess Qi has discovered that the favor of that woman, her daughter, is about to have the same great value as her mother's promise.
Princess Qi really didn't remember. After all, who would take a ten-year-old child's joke seriously?
Four years ago, when the queen went home to visit her relatives and asked her to take care of the children in the palace, she still thought it strange at the time. The princess and prince will be taken care of like jewels in the palace, Your Majesty is in the court, who doesn't have a long eye to hurt them?
Until she saw the girl who was alone and was grounded in the cold palace.
At that time, the girl had just turned ten years old, and she had not yet shown her edge.
No one expected her to show her edge.
At that time, I don't know who gave the order, and no one in the palace dared to approach her.
Princess Qi could easily guess that the people in the palace were used to climbing high and stepping low, and they guessed the thoughts of the superior faster than anyone else.
The master of this palace loathed her, and the people would hate her more than any enemy.
One set in front of the person and one behind the other, which is used when the asylum person leaves.
In the shadows of the palace, she looked at the little girl sitting in the shadows in shock.
No one approached, it was true, no one approached.
Include...... There was no one to deliver the meal.
She didn't know how long the child had been sitting there, but the child had just a bowl of rain and wild fruit from a tree far away from the window.
She didn't even know how the kid had been picked so far away.
"Princess Qi, Your Majesty called you over, Princess Qi!"
The shrill screams of the palace people were left behind by her, and with a squeak, she pushed open the door of the cold palace.
The girl sitting on the steps of the room looked up at the sound.
She thought she would see a small face stained with tears.
The boy just gave her a very ordinary look and smiled at her.
"Hello, you are...... Princess Qi? β
This is how she meets the girl who would become a legend after that.
Obviously only ten years old, but the moment the child raised his head, the entire cold palace seemed to be illuminated in an instant.
As Princess Qi, she just stood at the door in a daze, unable to say a word.
She thought she would be compassionate, she would be sympathetic, she would be angry, but after seeing the child's eyes, she couldn't say anything.
It's like when she was fifteen years old, when she met the girl who suddenly appeared next to her childhood sweetheart.
At that time, she thought she would be furious, angry that her first love was snatched away by a woman who appeared out of nowhere. Even her handkerchief was upset for her.
But when she saw the girl who was standing by the steed and laughing, she couldn't say anything.
"Hello, you are ...... Li Rong? β
People are always attracted to light.
She wondered if all of them who had been born in troubled times had such characteristics.
The girl standing by the horse eclipsed all the men around her.
Obviously she was a girl of the same age as herself, and she couldn't see what she looked like when she crossed the continent later, but when she stood there, she couldn't see anyone else anymore.
"Hello, you are ...... Li Rong? β
Different from the smirk of the sisters, there is no haze of smiles.
She knew that she was a woman who had a close relationship with her fiancΓ©, but she didn't care.
Later, Li Rong learned that the girl on the horse cared about far more things than she imagined.
At that time, she believed that there were really people like Asahi in this world.
"Hello, you are...... Princess Qi? β
At this time, when she saw the little girl sitting in the shadow say such words to her without any haze, she had only one thought.
Ah, it's that man's daughter.
It seems to have gotten even more terrifying.
It's all the same way to say hello.
From that time on, she understood that even if she was only ten years old, even in such a situation, this girl was not something she could sympathize with.
She might have felt more sympathy for those around her, and for those who were contemporaries of the child.
This child is hidden here.
Just when the ten-year-old raised her head and greeted herself with a natural face, the aura of her whole body changed.
is no longer a princess who is imprisoned in the cold palace and is not favored, but like a hermit, quietly watching the world.
But no matter what, no matter how detached she is, this is just a ten-year-old child.
Pushing away the hands of the people around her to block her, Princess Qi, who had just become married, walked towards the girl in the depths of the palace, but was about to get close to the child......
Well, she felt like she was going to take that sentence back.
This child's realm is already higher than hers.
A ten-year-old child......
"You're also a cultivator?" The little girl smiled at her.
A smile that belongs to the seniors.
At this time, she realized that she thought that the child had been sitting, but in fact, the child had been practicing.
In this palace, when no one looks down on her, when no one approaches her, when no one looks at her, when no one discovers and praises her for such an achievement.
She just practiced quietly.
Or practice quietly.
In a place where no one knows, reach a terrible realm.
If he hadn't met her mother at the age of fifteen, who had reached the peak at that time, he would have turned around and left......
But.
Glancing at the bowl of water beside the little girl, she sighed.
Shoved a piece of cake into the child's hand.
"Thank you," the little girl's shining eyes were unforgettable, and even in this situation, she didn't show any embarrassment, but smiled at her slightly, "The courtesy is still exchanged, but I don't have anything to return the gift now, just let me owe you a favor." β
What did she say at the time? By the way, she wanted to say that even if the courtiers invited you, but remembering her mother's stubbornness, she closed her mouth again.
"Okay." She just smiled in the end, "I'll pay it back when you grow up, the courtiers look forward to it." β
That being said, even though she understands that this son is extraordinary, she doesn't take it too seriously, and she really has a problem with her character.
It's just that such a child.
I'm afraid I can't hide it in the cold palace.
That's what she thought as she left.
She went to see His Majesty, knocked on the side, and after that she entered the palace again, and confirmed that the child had resumed normal food delivery, and of course the treatment was not comparable to that of a normal prince and princess.
She stood outside the cold palace and did not go in to see the child again.
She knew that sooner or later the kid would get out of here.
But she didn't expect that just three months after she met her, the child would come out of the cold palace.
As the youngest cultivator of the Ascending Extreme Realm in the mainland.
She didn't even think about it.
That simple promise back then.
In the icy prison four years later.
became the last spark.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Ice dungeon.
"I do have a wish." Princess Qi spoke slowly.
So far, to say anything else is just pretense.
She spoke solemnly.
"I don't expect you to save ......"
She was interrupted in the middle of her sentence.
