Chapter 106: The Hand of the Son
I threw away the broken Haoqiong Sword in my hand, avoiding Mi Ziqi's gaze, I have seen that look, the moment I pierced her chest with a dagger in the sacrificial palace, she also looked at me like this, Mu Xixue broke free in my hands, she has always been measured, in front of Mi Ziqi I held hands like this, she didn't seem to be able to pass the hurdle in her heart, her fingertips slipped inch by inch in my palm, I subconsciously clenched, as if that was the only thing I could hold now.
This subtle movement fell into a resentful sneer in the eyes of Mi Ziqi on the other side, I never thought that one day I would hold the hands of other women in front of her, and it was so calm and calm.
"Ziqi dares to ask Your Majesty, if her life and I are hanging by a thread, Your Majesty can only save one person, who will Your Majesty elect?"
Her voice was slow and dark, this was not her personality, she would never ask such an arrogant question in front of me, her unscrupulousness made me a little powerless, after all, no matter how powerful she was, she was only a woman after all.
In the past, she wouldn't ask me like this, because she knew the answer, even I wouldn't hesitate at all, but now I suddenly don't know how to answer her, Mu Xixue is still desperately trying to break free from me, she is not afraid of Qi Ziqi, she doesn't want me to be embarrassed.
Whether it's stubbornness or negativity, maybe it's really a choice.
Instead, I held her hand tighter, and Qi Ziqi smiled very sadly, slowly walking towards me, smiling and smiling as I was familiar, but I knew very well that it was no longer the Qi Ziqi I knew.
"Your Majesty said that you will exchange the Mandate of Heaven for Ziqi Anping, but this is a promise?"
"You have no jokes!"
"Ziqi doesn't want His Majesty's Eternal Mandate, if Ziqi wants to be well, Your Majesty only needs to do one thing for me."
"What's the matter?"
Qi Ziqi squatted on the ground and picked up the Haoqiong Sword I had lost, and gently handed it to me, smiling like a flower.
"Kill her!"
I was stunned, looking at the broken sword she handed over, she was serious, but my hand couldn't be lifted no matter what.
"Your Majesty once slaughtered a city but with a wave of long sleeves, but now you are still unsatisfied with killing a person for Ziqi, Ziqi dares to ask Your Majesty, is Ziqi changed, or is Your Majesty changed?"
Mu Xixue finally broke free from my hands, she went to snatch Mi Ziqi's broken sword, you have no jokes, Mi Ziqi forced me to a dilemma, I know what Mu Xixue wants to do, she can keep me quiet for a thousand years without regrets, in order to fulfill me, she should not hesitate.
If her existence is the root cause of solving everything, then everything will be simple, and Mi Ziqi and I will not look at each other like strangers now, but Mu Xixue thinks very simply, not that she is stupid, but that even if there is the slightest opportunity, she wants to leave it to me, so she didn't even hesitate to pick up the broken sword and wipe it off her neck.
Mi Ziqi seems to have known that this will be the result, she is originally a person who can calculate everything, I know, but I have always been reluctant to admit it, she is smiling, full of victorious smile, elegant hanging on the corner of her mouth, the upturned arc has always been carefully calculated, a little more arrogant, less indifferent, in the memory of Mi Ziqi to do anything like her current smile, always the most perfect and impeccable.
But this time her smile was a little flawed, at least not as bright as before, her eyes fell on my hand, I didn't look back, at the moment when Mu Xixue grabbed the broken Haoqiong Sword and was about to kill herself, I held the blade with my hand, which made Mu Xixue unexpected, she used too hard the blade to wipe out a blood red from my hand, and I not only did not let go but held it tighter.
"It's not easy for him to save you back, you died once in front of me, and I don't want to see it a second time!"
I am saying this to Mu Xixue, but I am also saying to Qi Ziqi, the same sentence, they should be able to hear different meanings, Mu Xixue's slender and white hand holding the hilt of the sword shook, and when I let go, I still firmly grasped the Haoqiong Sword in my hand, she tore off her clothes and took the broken sword from my hand lightly, and bandaged the wound without saying anything, there was something hot and warm dripping on my arm, and I didn't seem to feel pain.
The corners of Mi Ziqi's upturned mouth stiffly retracted, and he looked up at my eyes full of despair and emptiness.
"Your Majesty said that for thousands of generations, Jiangshan Sheji has never expected a cent, Ziqi believes, Your Majesty said that the Mandate of Heaven will be exchanged for Ziqi arrangement, Ziqi also believes, but these Ziqi don't want it, because in Your Majesty's heart, whether it is the country or the Mandate of Heaven, it is no match for this person next to you, Ziqi dares to ask Your Majesty again, have you ever been responsible for Ziqi?"
As soon as Mi Ziqi's voice fell, she pinched her fingers in a single chapter, Mu Xixue was close to her, I know her too well, she used to have nothing to do with the world, that is because she cares too much about uniqueness, in fact, I did let her do it, everything she has, including me, is not available to anyone.
The moment Mi Ziqi made a move, my hand also raised, I knew that Mu Xixue would definitely not be in front of me, and it was in such a situation to fight against Mi Ziqi, not to mention that she was far from being Mi Ziqi's opponent.
My Dao palm print hit Qi Ziqi's back, before she hit Mu Xixue, she took a few steps back, she didn't have all the mana, I felt it when my palm print hit her, but she completely exposed her back in my palm print, maybe she didn't believe that I would hurt her, it was the same in the sacrificial palace thousands of years ago, or maybe she believed too much that I would never do this to her because of other women.
Qi Ziqi stood silently on the opposite side, I sighed secretly, I don't know why I am always so weak and depressed in front of her, she gently wiped the blood stains oozing from the corners of her mouth with her fingertips, smiled miserably, and stretched out the blood red on her fingertips in front of her.
"Ziqi just wants to try...... Your Majesty can now go back to Ziqi, who of you and I has lost whom? ”
I glanced at everyone in the courtyard, and finally raised my head and looked at Mi Ziqi, many words should have been told to her thousands of years ago, I didn't expect to be able to reunite with her for thousands of years, the fragments of memory in my mind have always been blurry, it is always difficult to connect everything, until the moment when the Haoqiong Sword was broken, those fragmented memories were really spliced together, but it was still very messy and short, and all my real memories have been sealed in the sacrificial palace, That's the last thing they want me to have.
Even some of the memories that were awakened with the four artifacts had been deliberately tampered with, but now I finally remembered a lot of things.
How can I fail you, I stand with my hands in my hands, my voice is very calm, I first met you in Xianyang, Chu Jun showed favor to send the princess to marry me, do you know why I snubbed you and left the palace for three years? I looked at Yan Xiyue as I spoke, pointed at him with my finger and continued, you only know that he is in charge of the prison with the law, but I don't know that the most fundamental reason why I appointed him to the position of prime minister is that he never believes in anyone except me, especially the people of the enemy country, a person who is not the Great Qin can sit on the position of prime minister, his ability is far more than you think, don't forget, he is also a person from the Chu State, on the day when your master and servant five people entered Qin, the details of your five people have been presented to me.
Your ancestors are capable of the royal family of Chu State, the former Qin and Chu died in the chaos of the army, the other four have their own origins with Qin, but they are all carefully selected people who hate Qin into the bones, you five people are not relatives, they are assassinating me, the day of entering Qin is the time when the five of you die, do you know that Yan Xiyue has laid a knife and axe on the road you must pass to enter Qin Luan, and I will not see you.
His Majesty knew it from the beginning...... Qi Ziqi was in a trance, turned his head and glanced at Yan Xiyue, who was still kneeling on the ground, and asked why he didn't do anything on the road?
Isn't the amount of Chu Jun comparable to me, send a woman to hold Qin, he is not as good as Yan Zi Dan Leiluo, Jing Ketu is poor and dagger and has the courage to fight with me to the death, what is the difference between Chu Jun's behavior and the generation of dogs, thieves and rats, I am just curious, what kind of woman can have such a spirit, knowing that there is no return, and dare to be generous to righteousness.
I rode the horse to the post station, on the top of the mountain to watch, the mountain wind blowing the curtain I saw your side face in the luan, that was the first time I saw you, out of the water hibiscus fresh and flawless, so red face I am moved, I can't bear to see you become a fragrant soul under ten thousand knives.
You entered the harem and I snubbed you for three years, I originally wanted you to see what I did with your own eyes, but I was violent, stubborn, cruel and unkind, I thought that time could calm your hatred, and I went to see you three years later, I didn't say a word and just wanted to be honest with each other, I poured out my heart to you, you asked me who lost whom, Ziqi, you told me, who lost whom from the beginning?
Qi Ziqi did not answer, in fact, I believe that she was also speechless, thinking that she was hiding a secret that I had not been aware of until now, it turned out that I knew it clearly from the beginning, and I did not wait for her answer to continue.
I am facing you day and night, without a single guard by my side, giving you a chance to attack, you did not assassinate me, and I have never asked you, since I am open and honest today, I also ask you, do you really not want to kill me, or did you not find a foolproof opportunity?
Didn't find a chance!
Mi Ziqi replied resolutely, I shook my head and my weak voice was full of sadness, why do you bother, do you really have to hate you to be satisfied, why don't you have a chance, you sleep in the same bed in the dormitory, I know that the dagger under your pillow is hidden, I can't sleep with my eyes closed, and you are the same, I waited for you for one night, until dawn you have not made a rebellious move, isn't this an opportunity? Do you know that I didn't sleep?
The corners of Mi Ziqi's mouth squirmed, and there were tears in her eyes, she didn't have to answer, I don't know how warm and cold people are, I held her hand that night, just like I held Mu Xixue before, that is not the warmth that an enemy should have, full of shyness and attachment, I was relieved at that moment, no matter how beautiful the country is, you are not as tender as you are in my heart.
Your Majesty may have thought of her too well!
Yan Xiyue buried her head and said to me in a low voice, I looked back at him and asked Yan Xiyue why he said this, he has always understood the rules, knows when to speak, and more importantly, when not to speak.
The minister was worried about the safety of His Royal Highness, and arranged a sharpshooter in front of the palace, if she had the intention of rebellion, she was afraid that the dagger would not be able to take it out, and she would be killed on the spot, and ......
And you also ordered the Qin army to assemble on the border of Chu, if Ziqi made a move, you ordered the slaughter of the city without leaving a piece of armor, but like this? I interrupted Yan Xiyue's words and asked majestically, Yan Xiyue buried his head lower, and replied sincerely, the minister was just worried about His Majesty's safety.
