Chapter 292: Suspicion
, Wonderful free to read without pop-ups!
Su Xiaoke didn't think about this aspect at first, after all, she felt that even if it was an ancient divine beast, she didn't know how long it had been dead, how could it not be drawn.
"People say that it is difficult to paint the soul with skin and bones, and the portrait you painted today, I deliberately injected a trace of spiritual power, so I also have a soul." Xiao Ran explained: "The miscellaneous books mentioned by Wang Xu before are nothing more than records of some creatures that may have appeared in ancient times, but to put it bluntly, they are only a few strokes, if you really read those books, you will know that the paintings there are not actually similar to us." ”
"So, my painting skills aren't really that good, are they?" When Su Xiaoke heard Xiao Ran say this, she suddenly came back to her senses from the joy just now, thinking about it, although she had studied with the master for a few years before, it was just a hobby in the end, how could she be shocked when she came here?
In the end, it's because of my luck.
Today's painting is Xiao Ran, so Xiao Ran will also pour some of his own feelings when he paints, and even does not hesitate to inject spiritual power into that painting, so that the painting looks extremely realistic, and even makes people feel a sense of oppression.
"Actually, you don't need to be presumptuous, after all, if you draw four dislikes, even if I inject spiritual power, I can't change anything, don't you say?" Xiao Ran seemed to notice Su Xiaoke's depressed mood, and couldn't help but comfort her and said, "And you should believe that the eldest princess recommended that person to you, and it will definitely make your painting skills more powerful." ”
Although Su Xiaoke was depressed, it was only a momentary thing, which calmed her again, and her heart was much calmer.
"I like to draw, but how do we have so much time to study these things?" Su Xiaoke put a piece of pastry in his mouth, and then said: "But I'm really curious, looking at the eldest princess, it seems that I have really seen you, otherwise how could I tell your identity at once?" ”
"But I'm not impressed." Xiao Ran shook his head and said very puzzledly: "Could it be that it's because I've lived too long, so I forgot that I had seen such a little girl?" ”
"I can't ask her, can I?" Su Xiaoke said helplessly: "Eldest princess, have you ever seen Xiao Ran?" Where have you seen it before, would you like to talk to me? Actually, it's going to be in my space! ”
"Su Xiaoke, your joke is not funny at all." Xiao Ran rolled her eyes directly, and then waved her paw and said, "Actually, you don't need to think so much, if the eldest princess really wants to know something, she will come back to ask you sooner or later." ”
Xiao Ran didn't say that there was an aura on the eldest princess that seemed to be related to herself, but she didn't have any impression at all, and she didn't see anything wrong.
"That's what you said, you can't be out there right now, so no one will see you." Su Xiaoke held his chin, his eyes fell on the eldest princess, and said thoughtfully: "But I thought, maybe the eldest princess will find out by herself, and she won't come to ask me at all." ”
"It's better if she doesn't ask you, lest you have to figure out how to fool her." Xiao Ran felt that Su Xiaoke was a little worried, and said helplessly at the moment: "There are few people in the world who know your secret, so you don't have to worry about anything at all." ”
……
Since Su Xiaoke painted such a picture, the eldest princess's mood was obviously no longer on this banquet, so everyone didn't stay long, and the eldest princess sent everyone away on the grounds that she was tired.
Su Xiaoke naturally walked with Wang Man and the three of them, and the eldest princess specially sent colorful clothes to send them to the door, obviously telling everyone that she cared about Su Xiaoke very much, and those who didn't have any other thoughts basically didn't need to move.
"Eldest princess, is there anything different about this painting?" Caiyi saw that the eldest princess had been fascinated by the painting, and asked with some hesitation, "Or is there something wrong with this painting?" ”
"There's nothing wrong with that." The eldest princess looked at the painting, and when she heard Caiyi say this, she couldn't help but say lightly: "Do you remember that when you were young in this palace, you once went to sea with your father?" ”
Caiyi grew up with the eldest princess, so she naturally knew all the things about the eldest princess, so she nodded and said: "That time the eldest princess was pulled into the sea by gangsters and almost couldn't come back, the slave and maid remembered it very clearly, because at that time the slave and maid still thought that if the eldest princess could not be saved, the slave and maid would jump into the sea and commit suicide directly, and accompanied the eldest princess to go together." ”
"Yes, that time." When the eldest princess heard Caiyi say this, she couldn't help but say with some emotion: "At that time, my father was still very young, and those brothers and brothers in this palace were still harmonious, where would I have thought that I would become like this in the future?" ”
"The eldest princess, since ancient times, the royal family has been the most ruthless, and the slave maid thinks that after so many years, the eldest princess should have let go." Caiyi has always been straightforward in front of the eldest princess, and there will be no taboos at all, so she whispered at the moment: "And the deceased is gone, the eldest princess should not worry about those people anymore." ”
"Yes, the dead are all gone, but the living are still thinking about how to live more happily." The eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief lightly, and then said in a low voice: "That time, Bengong also thought that she must be dead, but I didn't expect to be saved." ”
"The eldest princess, in fact, the slave maid has always been very strange at that time, obviously the wind and waves were so big that day, the eldest princess appeared on the side of the boat unharmed, and the slave and maid also saw it at that time, and the emperor seemed to be quite jealous of the eldest princess." Caiyi spoke hesitantly, although so many years had passed, she still remembered it very clearly.
If the first emperor still liked the eldest princess very much, then everything has changed since the eldest princess Luo Hai came back unharmed.
In other words, from that time on, the emperor began to slowly alienate the eldest princess, even if he accidentally bumped into it, he seemed to dislike being close to the eldest princess very much, and there were many taboos when he looked at the eldest princess.
Caiyi didn't understand, but she found that the eldest princess seemed to fully accept the emperor's reaction, as if there was no doubt at all.
"Yes, because after the palace came, my father saw this on my shoulder." The eldest princess showed her left shoulder unconcernedly, and there was a red paw print on it, which looked as if it had been left by some animal.
"This ......" Caiyi's eyes widened, and she asked in disbelief, "Why didn't the slave notice it before?" ”
"Because my father was the first person to see this paw print, and since then he has told the palace that no one is allowed to change clothes and bathe the palace, and everything must be done by the palace himself." The eldest princess seemed to have long been used to it, and said lightly: "He doesn't allow anyone to know that this is on this palace." ”
"Could this paw print be ...... What is left of the ancient lion beast in this painting? Caiyi has been by the eldest princess's side for so many years, and she never thought that the changes in the eldest princess's personality and habits were related to this, and she cried a little sadly for a while, "The eldest princess, they are all slaves and maids, and I don't know the bitter......ness of the eldest princess all these years."
"Stupid or not?" When the eldest princess saw Caiyi like this, she couldn't help laughing, shook her head and said: "Actually, this palace is also to protect you, at that time, my father seemed to be crazy, and I thought that if someone saw this, they would kill it, so this palace didn't want my father to kill you." ”
"Why?" Caiyi really can't understand, it's just a paw print, what can it represent?
"My father told me that the ancient lion beast represents bad luck, and it left paw prints on me, which means that it regards me as its subject, so this palace will live a very bad life in the future, but this palace is also very glad that my father did not plan to kill this palace at that time." The eldest princess took a deep breath and said calmly: "But Bengong never believed it, because Bengong remembered very well that it was clearly not this ancient lion beast that saved Bengong in the sea, but a woman. ”
"Woman?" Caiyi asked with some surprise: "But since that woman can send the eldest princess to the imperial ship, she must know the identity of the eldest princess, how can she just say goodbye like that?" ”
"Maybe she's not short of silver at all." The eldest princess shrugged her shoulders and said calmly: "At that time, Bengong was actually just groggy, and then I felt that she took me into a very quiet place, and it was in that place that I saw the ancient lion beast, and the ancient lion beast seemed to find that Bengong was not unconscious when it appeared in this palace, so he gave Bengong a paw, and then ...... Hongu doesn't remember anything. ”
"So the eldest princess has been looking for the rumored descendants of the Lin family all these years, just because the eldest princess thinks that the woman who saved you in the sea may be a member of the Lin family?" Caiyi then understood why these elderly princesses always insisted on finding the descendants of the Lin family, and said with some excitement at the moment: "Then if you find the descendants of the Lin family, can this be erased from the eldest princess?" ”
Although Caiyi doesn't believe that a paw print can bring bad luck to people, the eldest princess has really worked hard over the years, and she doesn't want to see the eldest princess go down so lonely, so she will pin her hopes on this kind of ethereal thing.
But aren't all people like that?
As long as there is a little hope, don't miss it.
If the unsatisfactory life of the eldest princess in the first half of her life was all due to this paw print, is it possible to lift this curse as long as she finds someone from the Lin family?
"Caiyi, do you think there really is an ancient lion beast in this world?" The eldest princess looked at the painting and said thoughtfully, "If Su Xiaoke hadn't seen the ancient lion beast, how could he paint it so lifelike?" Even if Hongu accidentally looked at it, it was impossible to draw it, so ...... Maybe Su Xiaoke is the person this palace is looking for, don't you say? ”
