Chapter 7: Classics of the Southern Regions
A cooler voice sounded in her ears: "Who sent you?" Wen Nianqing cried out all of a sudden, although he deliberately lowered his voice, although she still had a hint of youthfulness that she had never heard, she still heard it at once, this was the voice of her husband Xiao Yuhan who died tragically on the frontier.
But obviously, the owner of the voice did not pity the jade because of tears, the sword in his hand increased a trace of strength, and the voice also carried a trace of impatience and disgust: "Hey! Your tears are useless to me! If you want to live, answer my question quickly! ”
The current Xiao Yuhan is not the Xiao Yuhan who spoils her to the bone and obeys her, but a killer who treats her as an enemy. To the enemy, Xiao Yuhan is never soft. Wen Nianqing didn't dare to be careless, and didn't even bother to wipe her tears, she took out her token from her body and shook it in front of Xiao Yuhan's eyes: "This palace is the eighth princess of Great Xia, Wen Nianqing." Wen Nianqing tried her best to make herself look calm and calm, but she is only eight years old now, Xiao Yuhan is seven years older than her, and now her height is only up to his waist, plus she has not wiped away her tears just after crying, she tilted her head back, and spoke with a little crying, how do you look like a scared little girl.
Obviously, Xiao Yuhan thought so, he withdrew his sword and saluted, trying to make his voice sound as gentle as possible, and looked at Wen Nianqing: "Your Highness, don't be afraid, the minister only asks His Highness a question." Even if it is the Eighth Highness, he should not have the ability to be alone here. Not to mention that few people know about that entrance, there are a lot of poisonous snakes and Gu worms on the side of the road, Your Highness had better give the minister an explanation, is there someone to ...... Tricked you into coming here or bringing you in? ”
When Wen Nianqing heard the words "poisonous snake Gu worm", she was stunned for a moment, and the previous suspicion was broken through at once, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing the purple scorpion tattoo on her left arm: "Is it because of this?" Xiao Yuhan's pupils shrank at the moment he saw the tattoo, and he couldn't believe it: "You succeeded the saint?" ”
Wen Nianqing's face was not obvious, but her heart sank suddenly, she was really the "saintess" in Huaiyou's mouth, and she was able to walk in smoothly all the way because of this scorpion.
Xiao Yuhan looked at Wen Nianqing expressionlessly looking at the scorpion, and asked tentatively, "Your Highness...... Do you know the meaning of this tattoo? Wen Nianqing shook her head, her voice trembling a little because she was trying to control her emotions: "I woke up after being bitten by a snake and this tattoo appeared. Xiao Yuhan frowned tightly, pulled Wen Nianqing and strode forward, "I don't know much about the Southern Regions, let me take you to see the classics left by the first queen, the first queen told me that if you come here one day and want to find the answer, let me take you there." ”
Wen Nianqing grasped the key to his words, grabbed Xiao Yuhan's sleeve with his backhand, his eyes were amazingly bright, and he asked in disbelief: "Queen Mother...... What did the queen mother tell you? Before Xiao Yuhan could answer, the light in her eyes dimmed suddenly, and she muttered to herself, "I...... It's been a long time since I've seen my mother...... It's been a long time......"
For a long time, she forgot the voice and smile of the queen mother, only vaguely remembered an outline, and even forgot what the queen mother said to her before her death...... The queen mother died when she was eight years old, and until the year she was killed by Huaiyou's heart, she was twenty years old, and she didn't know it...... It's been thirteen years......
