Chapter 66: The Divine Decree Descended

Xiao Jingqi picked up the wine glass on the table in front of me and handed it to me, as if persuading me to drink the wine.

"Have a drink, this rice wine used to be your favorite wine."

I know that when he says "you", he is not referring to me, but to Eto.

I pursed my lips and smiled, took the glass of wine, and drank it with my sleeve covered.

Putting the cup down, I looked at him.

"Do you believe in this god-like word of Youran?"

He smiled, "Of course I believe it, master's handwriting, how can I not believe it." Do you know who the master is? ”

He looked at me, and I stared at him and shook my head.

"The immortal path in You Ran's mouth, isn't it the Cui Divine Doctor I know?"

Xiao Jingqi smiled again, "Rong'er, you only know a little bit." ”

He called me "Rong'er" this time, which proved that he was awake and did not confuse me with Yihua.

He stood up and looked at the peach blossoms outside the pavilion, and I got up and approached him to hear what he had to say.

He said slowly, "Master Cui Boyuan is a disciple of the Heavenly Master Dao, and his master is the national teacher Kou Qianzhi, Kou Tianshi, who was once favored by Emperor Taiwu Tuoba Tao. Decades ago, Kou Qianzhi was praised by the people in the Great Wei of the Xianhaobei tribe with his Taoist techniques, spells, and power techniques, and conspiracy. Some people say that Kou Guoshi has obtained the true inheritance of 'Taishang Zhenren', knows terms, and is considered half an immortal. Emperor Taiwu even gave a huge amount of money to let Kou Tianshi build the Jinglun Heavenly Palace that could become an immortal and attain the Tao, and later heard that Kou Tianshi sat in the Jinglun Heavenly Palace and returned to the immortal. ”

Xiao Jingqi pulled his gaze back and looked at me, "Do you know that my master Cui Boyuan has also obtained the true inheritance of Kou Tianshi, and he also knows terminology. ”

I chuckled, "You mean, Cui Boyuan collected and stored the soul of Yi Zhu in the jade bottle, and it was only easy to possess me after many years?" ”

He laughed, "Aren't you, you're already a fact." ”

What I don't understand is, why did Etocarpus come back again?

"Do you know why Divine Doctor Cui is doing this?"

The corners of Xiao Jingqi's lips were slightly hooked, as if he was helpless, "I think Yi Hua once begged the master." ”

I understood that he meant that Yi Yu himself was going to be resurrected again, so Cui Boyuan agreed to her request.

The fragrance of peach blossoms drifted in the wind, and I seemed to see Yi Juan at the moment of death, begging Cui Boyuan, she didn't want to die yet, she didn't want to die like this.

She should have had some other wish that was unfulfilled, so she didn't want to die.

Xiao Jingqi and I walked out of his manor, and I asked You Ran to go back to the house first, so there was no need to follow.

He led me to a quiet alley, the long alley was cool and quiet, without the bustle of the main road, and this place seemed to have been cool for a long, long time.

I looked up at the door that was still sealed, and the two words on the plaque had faded and were incomplete.

Bfu, the gate of this majesty, I think how prosperous it should have been back then. Now the breeze is bleak, and this street is so deserted.

Instead of tearing the seal, we found the back door, and we walked in through the back door.

The courtyard was overgrown with weeds, dead branches and leaves everywhere, and some broken porcelain and rotten utensils were lying across the road. How desolate it is, how old it is.

This mansion is extremely wide, and I think it should have been the largest mansion in Pingcheng back then, but now it is desolate and dilapidated.

I felt that the people in the second house were running for their lives in panic when their family was being executed. There was chaos in the house, and cries and shouts were continuous. I seemed to see arrows flying in from outside the courtyard, and the family members who were running in the courtyard screamed at the arrows and fell to the ground.

Miserable voices circulated in my head, and corpses lay across my eyes.

There was blood everywhere, corpses everywhere.

I felt my chest flutter and my face pale. It's like I'm already in that terrible scene at this time.

"Son-"

Xiao Jingqi didn't know when to help me, whispered in my ear, and woke me up from my confusion.

"Are you alright?"

I shook my head, "It's fine." ”

He half-hugged and half-supported me because it was just the two of us, and if anyone was there, such behavior would be tongue-in-cheek.

He wiped the stone bench in the courtyard with his sleeves, sat me down, and looked down at me, not only doubt, but also fascination.

"Why are you here?"

I looked up into his deep eyes, and in his eyes, I saw myself. After groaning, I said quietly: "Jingqi, if I am really Yizhu, how can I not come and see."

He crouched in front of me and looked at me meaningfully.

I had tears in my eyes, I don't know why, maybe my heart hurt, my heart hurt for Eto, my heart hurt for her family.

Back then, the whole house of Otofu was killed, what a tragic scene, but fortunately I only carried the body of Otofu.

Luckily, it didn't happen to me, and if I were there, I would be angry and resentful to see so many people dying.

Yi Huan assassinated the Empress Dowager, her hatred can be understood by everyone.

She shouldn't be able to let go of her family, she can't let go of her father.

Jingqi suddenly hugged me into his arms and hugged me tightly, and he said in my ear, "I'm sorry, I couldn't save your father back then, and I can only take you away." ”

I leaned on his shoulder to relax and calm myself.

"How can you save the big family of Yifu alone, you did your best."

He let go of me and looked at me immersively, his eyes shining for a moment.

"Son-" He called out my name once more deeply.

I came to my senses and whispered, "Let's go." ”

I didn't want to stay here for a moment, I always felt that I couldn't help my feelings, as if the soul of Otokush was controlling me.

Standing in the garden, I once again looked at the clutter of grass and trees, which was very desolate, but what did all this have to do with me? Yi Hun didn't know that there was a daughter like me until he died, and Yi Hun never knew that there was a sister like me.

If I knew that I was her sister, how could she let her subordinates throw me into the lotus pond that night?

She didn't know.

After returning from Ofu that day, I changed and became a daily time to go to the school yard in Fuchu to shoot a few arrows.

On this day, as soon as I finished shooting an arrow, my father Gao Yang stood not far away, looking at me in a daze.

No one in the house knew that I could shoot arrows, and my father must have known about it for a long time.

I approached him and bowed.

"Who did you learn from?" Father asked faintly.

I tightened my eyes and replied with a smile, "When my daughter is bored on weekdays, she teaches herself to practice. ”

"Girl's family, what kind of force to use."

His tone was cold, and he didn't quite approve of my actions.

I smiled and said, "My daughter is weak, but she just uses it to exercise her body and strengthen her body." ”

My father had just come back from the early dynasty and had come to this schoolyard, presumably not just to see me archery.

"Go and change your clothes, and wait for the whole government to receive the order." After my father said this, he left.

I was stunned, the emperor issued a decree, and the whole government wanted to accept it.

What will it be, to be ordered by the whole government?

I did as my father told me and changed into clothes with some color.

When I heard that the slave and maid in the palace had come to report that the palace eunuch had come with a holy decree, I hurriedly walked to the front yard and knelt down side by side with Gao Li.

My father led the eldest lady to bow down before me.

The person who read the will was the female eunuch, Liu Asu.

She was followed by several inner prisons and a palace grandmother.

When she finished reading it, I was stunned and didn't react.

Eunuch Liu not only read out one will, it was two, one was my father's promotion to the rank of hussar general, and the other was the emperor's will to accept me as a concubine.

Tuoba Hong named me a "nobleman".

When Eunuch Liu personally delivered the will to me, I was astonished and completely unconvinced.

I didn't expect that Tuoba Hong would use a holy decree to let me enter the palace.

He didn't even come to inform me this time, but directly sent his will to the house.

This is not to show that I cannot resist the decree.

I was stunned and didn't reach out to catch it, when my father's stern voice came, "Don't take the holy decree yet." ”

I hurriedly stretched out my hands to catch the heavy will in the hands of the eunuch.

The eunuch's words, "Congratulations to Noble Rong", made me come to my senses.

Do I really want to enter the palace and become Tuoba Hong's concubine?

Looking at their faces with excitement and joy, I couldn't be happy at all.

There seemed to be a voice in my heart shouting, "No! You are Yi Huan, how can you become the emperor's woman, the court wants the life of your entire family in Yi Mansion! ”

No, I can't marry him, I can't!

Even though I cry out in my heart, I have already received my will.

The grandmother from the palace came up to me and saluted me, saying that she was here to teach me the etiquette of the palace and prepare all the rules for entering the palace.

I took my grandmother and returned to Qiushuiju under the watchful eyes of all the slaves and maids in the house.

Mama introduced herself and said that her name was Yueju, the etiquette officer in the palace, and she came to teach me rules and etiquette by the order of the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager's decree has moved out, what else can I do.

I bowed to the grandmother sincerely, showing my respect for her hostess, and called her, "Auntie." ”

I sat in my inner room, staring at the decree in my hand.

I really don't know what to do with such a suddenness.

Zilan didn't know what was going on in my mind, and she came to me again to congratulate me on becoming a mother.

I scoffed, "You, like them, want me to enter the palace?" ”

Zilan was slightly stunned for a moment, and asked lightly, "Second Miss is unwilling?" ”

I grimaced and was silent.

"This is a holy decree, and resisting the decree will kill the head."

Zilan's face was full of nervousness, because my words made her feel scared.

If I really don't want to, and resist the will, will Tuoba Hong kill me?

He is the emperor, is it impossible to take back what he says?

This night, the sky was full of stars, and I stood in the courtyard and stared at the sky quietly.

I couldn't make up my mind, I didn't know what to do next.

In the mistle, I seemed to hear the sound of the flute again, not far or near, coming with the wind.

It's still the same song, the song that the man taught me in my dream in the Valley of the Forest. Now I already know that the man in my dream is Jingqi.

He should be outside the Gaofu Courtyard at this time, but can he understand my uneasy heart at this time.

Yinglin came over and put a cloak on me, and muttered beside me, "Why do you always hear this flute song, it seems to be outside the house, I don't know who it is, and it often blows out of nothing." ”

"Bring that lyre." I said to her lightly.

Ying Lin was surprised, but she still went into the house and took it out, and after she set it up, I sat down, stroked the strings, and played the flute together.

It feels like this scene is back to the dream in the Valley of the Hidden Forest.

The ensemble of piano and flute reverberates in the night sky.

I put all my worries behind and I only had him in my mind.

The song stopped, but I regretted that this piece seemed to be only half of it, and every time I heard it, it was incomplete.

I don't know if this piece was composed by Xiao Jingqi, because I only heard him blow.

The song is melodious and tactful, but I don't know what kind of longitudinal the second half will be.

Another day, I should ask him.
