Chapter Fifty-Six: Something Different
No matter how cowardly a woman is, for the people she cares about the most, she can also show her perseverance at critical moments. Ayili is a beautiful court maid who has served by her side for many years, knows her character and is familiar with everything she goes through. The love affair many years ago was a pain that Qili never mentioned, and no one knew better than Ayili how much Qili had suffered for it, if she hadn't met her madman master, she would have been in love.
Although Qili took revenge with her own hands and sent the Holy Sound who betrayed her to the boundless hell, making him suffer from the fact that life is worse than death, she did not get relief from this, but became more and more unhappy. Aily understands that the faith that has sustained her until now is not because of anyone who cares about her, but because of the voice that has long since passed.
For so many years, Qili has never given up on regaining the Holy Sound, even if it is a corpse, even so, she has not been able to do so, no matter how threatened the Holy Moon Holy Maiden is, she will not hand over the body of the Holy Sound. Whenever Qili decided to send troops to encircle and suppress the Xiling Sect, King Anxi would jump out to protect the Xiling Sect as soon as possible, and day after day, the friendship between the brother and sister became worse and worse, almost to the point of turning against each other.
At first, Ayili didn't know exactly why King Anxi was defending the Religion, but since Collinji came back and told her everything, she was able to figure out the ins and outs, and why Kiri couldn't untie the knot, why she gradually distanced herself from Corinji, why she was willing to marry General Xinbuzu, and why she clinged to the power she once didn't care about.
Ayili suddenly understood a lot of things, and while she felt sorry for Qili, she couldn't help but worry about Corinji. At present, it seems that the current situation of Coringe is not optimistic, although there is King Rest to protect him, but the existence of the Bright Moon Saintess is the biggest threat. The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon relied on the fact that she was Colinji's biological mother, and she was willing to use him as the scapegoat of the current sect leader, even if she watched him die, she should not blink an eye.
As a biological mother, she is so ruthless to her children, and this vicious woman has long been not afraid of the eyes of the world. But Colingey is not a child that no one loves, he has a nurse who is closer than his own mother. Ayili knows that she is humble and unqualified to go against the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, nor is she worthy of having the son of Prince Corinji, but she doesn't care what others think, she has to protect the most important person in her heart in her own way.
Qili's heart knot is the holy sound, for the sake of the holy sound, she is willing to do anything, and she does not hesitate to use force to fight to the death with the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon. She is the only woman in the Anxi Dynasty who has the ability to fight against the Xiling Sect, as long as she makes up her mind, there is nothing she can't do, let alone the Bright Moon Holy Maiden, even the entire Xiling Sect will be turned to ashes.
After years of preparation, Qili already has enough military power to encircle and suppress the Xiling Sect, and the plan to recapture the Holy Sound has been brewing for a long time. But what she lacked was a suitable opportunity and a little motivation to stimulate her. If she is stimulated enough, she will definitely break through all resistance and fight to the death against the Xiling Sect.
According to Colinji's instructions, Ayili knew what she should say next, and she had already caused Qili to take the initiative to anger, which was enough to prove that Qili still cared about everything back then, and her inference was not wrong in the slightest. However, Qili is kind to her, she shouldn't tear open the princess's wounds again, but it is Qili's long-cherished wish to encircle and suppress the Xiling Sect to regain the holy sound, and if she can help her realize her wish, it can be regarded as a reward for her! Moreover, getting rid of the Xiling Sect and the Bright Moon Holy Maiden is also a good thing for Ke Linji, as long as the threat of the Ming Moon Holy Maiden is removed, Ke Linji will be able to be his prince with peace of mind in the future, and he will always have peace of mind.
Prince Kolingey, she brought him up day by day, from an infant baby to a gentle and beautiful young man, and only she knows how much effort she has put in. She doesn't have the ability to do more for him, but she's willing to do everything she can to pave a smooth road for him.
"Who allowed you to mention that woman in front of me!" Qili glared at Ayili and asked sharply.
"Princess, after all these years, you still can't let go?" Ayili met her fierce eyes fearlessly, without the slightest hint of flinching.
Qili stared at her for a long time, recalling Shengyin's voice and smile, recalling the scene of their affection, and recalling the tears she shed for him, and her heart suddenly turned over and could not be calmed down. She has no way to vent her anger on Ayili, who has followed her for many years, and without Ayili when she is most painful, I am afraid that she will not be able to endure it for a long time.
"Shut up!" Qili let out a loud shout, waved her sleeves and knocked the teapot and teacup on the table to the ground, and the crackling sound alarmed the palace ladies in the outhouse, and asked the princess what had happened.
Qili glared at the fearless Ayili, gritted her teeth and said, "It's okay, don't come in." ”
Qili lost her temper, sat back in her place and looked at Ayili, tried to calm her emotions, thought for a while, and said, "What do you want to say when you come today?" You don't blame me for not promising you to send someone to save Corinji? However, it turns out that you are indeed overthinking, isn't it good for Coringey to be in good shape now, he really went to visit all the countries, not who was imprisoned. ”
Ayili smiled and said calmly: "Princess, as the princess said, His Royal Highness the prince returned safely and unharmed, how can the slave and maid bring up the old things again." ”
"Then you ......" Qili's chest rose and fell slightly, and she was almost about to say the woman's name, and paused hastily, "Then what is the purpose of you deliberately doing this in front of me?" ”
"The princess is discerning, and the slave doesn't dare to be smart." Ayili got up and walked in front of Qili, knelt down heavily, bowed her head and said, "What the slave and maid are going to say next is really rebellious, but for the sake of the princess, I have to say that no matter how the princess punishes, the slave and maid must say it." ”
Qili narrowed her eyes slightly and nodded: "Let's hear it, I don't blame you!" ”
With Qili's approval, Ayili said in an orderly manner: "The slave maid inquired about the whereabouts of the former sect leader of the Xiling Sect, and also knew where the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon hid him. The slave knew that this had always been a knot that the princess could not break, and it was also something that the princess had to do no matter what, so she risked being suspected of having ulterior motives to tell the princess the truth. ”
Qili clenched her fists, her fingertips digging deep into her flesh and unaware of it, and she bit her lip to keep herself from losing control. In order to get the Holy Sound, she married a man she didn't love at all, endured the fingers of everyone in the palace, was willing to deal with those who tended to be inflammatory, and consolidated her position step by step until she had enough power to fight against her brother. The reason why she did not move was because she did not want to destroy the foundation of the previous king, and she did not want to affect the innocent people of the Sabbath Dynasty.
Her purpose is only the Xiling Sect, only the Holy Voice, and she continues to develop her power only to intimidate Brother Wang, so that he can retreat from the difficulties and give up the idea of defending the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon.
"The world says that the princess is arrogant and arrogant, selfish, but the slave knows that the princess is not like this, if it is not for the sake of the common people in the world, the princess does not have to endure hardship. Helplessly, His Majesty was obsessed and insisted on defending the demon girl, and repeatedly stopped the princess's plan to encircle and suppress the Xiling Sect. The world only knows one but not the other, who can understand the princess's mood and understand the princess's pain, it was originally the former sect leader and the Bright Moon Holy Maiden who owed you, and they should repay it, but, princess, have you really made up your mind? Is it worth it for that person? Perhaps, all you end up with is a corpse ......"
"I understand that even if I can only get his body, I will be with him!" Qili couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart, her eyes were covered with layers of mist, she shook her head with difficulty, firmly grasped the hem of her skirt with one hand, and kept hitting her chest with the other, choking up, "I never thought about giving up, I hate to forget about him completely!" If I could do it all over again, how I wish I had never met him, so that I could live my life carefree as my father and mother had hoped! But, O Ayili, life cannot be repeated, and even if I am a princess, it is impossible to change everything that has happened! I love him, I love him like crazy, for him I am willing not to be this princess, I am willing to follow him to the ends of the world, and even thought about accepting that woman and their children! Unfortunately I can't, my pride and self-esteem won't allow me to do so, so I'm doomed to lose him! He had seen me through, he knew that I couldn't accept everything he had without regrets, and it was a wise choice for him to give up on me, and if I were him, I would do the same......"
Qili couldn't cry, Ayili couldn't bear it, knelt forward and hugged her legs, and comforted softly: "Princess, I don't blame you, I don't blame you, you just have no fate, I really don't blame you." ”
"What's the use of talking about this now, he's gone......" Qili looked out the window with blurred teary eyes, "It's me, it's me who ruined him, and if I can't get him, I'll ruin him!" That's right, I'm such a selfish woman, I can even kill the person I love the most, what else can't I do! Over the years, I have missed him all the time, and I have found that there are so many things to regret, I do not regret falling in love with him, but I regret wanting to possess him, I do not regret poisoning him, but I regret that I want him to die so painfully......"
"The slave and maid know, and the slave and maid know that the princess was also in love at that time, but everything has become a fact, so why torture herself!" Ayili still hopes that Qili can see her heart clearly, if she can let go of the past and stop embarrassing herself, it will also be a real relief. Although it was inevitable that Kelinji would be disappointed, he could only make another plan to deal with the Bright Moon Holy Maiden.
"Let it go, princess, let go of everything and start over, and let others go as well as yourself, okay?"
Qili looked at Ayili in a daze, and was silent for a long time before saying, "Even if I am willing to let go, I can't go back." Do you know? Without the support of strong hatred, I would not have been able to live for a long time, the holy voice is gone, I only have thoughts of him, so I can only hate that woman, unless she is dead, I can completely let go, since she has received more love than me, I can't allow her to live longer than me, otherwise, I can't turn a blind eye until I die. ”
"Princess, do you have to fight to the death before you can stop?" Ayili knew it was useless to say anything.
Qili nodded vigorously, tears welled down, and she grabbed her hand suddenly: "Remember, my last wish is to be buried with Shengyin, I can't have a complete him in this life, and I will continue to entangle with him in the next life." ”
"Princess, don't say that, you can't think like that, this life is not over, what do you want to ...... next life" Ayili hurriedly shook her head, "I don't promise you, I won't promise you, without him, you will live better, you are a dignified princess, why are you so stupid!" Princess, you should have come to your senses a long time ago, please spare yourself! ”
"Don't, this is what I owe him, I want his life in this life, I will give him back in the next life, I don't want to owe him all my life. Ayili, do you understand? My life is over, and no matter what I do, I can't escape the condemnation of my conscience! If you're sincere to me, do as I say! In return, I'll help you too! ”
"My desire?" Ayili felt ashamed, when she came, she hoped that Princess Qili would agree to deal with the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, but now she also began to regret it, "No, princess, the slave maid has no wishes, the slave maid only begs you to be good, please don't do stupid things, don't ......"
Qili smiled indifferently and pulled Ayili, who was kneeling on the ground, up: "No matter what you think in your heart, I won't blame you." Without you, I would have gone with the Holy Voice. In fact, it is reasonable for you to arrange a way back for Kelinge, although you are just his nurse, but you regard him as your own flesh and blood in your heart, in this world, which mother does not feel sorry for her child. It doesn't matter, I can understand that. ”
Ayili refused to get up, wiped her tears and cried: "If all mothers in the world can feel sorry for their children, the slave and maid will not hope that the princess will eradicate the scourge for His Royal Highness." Princess, the slave maid feels sorry for His Royal Highness, and I also miss you, the slave maid thought that helping you get rid of that woman was the best of both worlds, but this is too unfair to you, after the princess gets rid of her, will she be loveless? If this is the case, the slave and maid would like you to continue to forbear and find another way for Your Highness! ”
Qili asked puzzledly, "Get up and speak, tell me what happened?" Which mother doesn't feel sorry for her child, is it related to Corinji, so you want me to make a move? ”
"Princess, do you think that Your Highness has returned safely because the demon girl is jealous of Your Majesty? It's not like this, the demon girl didn't think about letting him back when she kidnapped His Highness, this is all to replace His Highness's half-brother! ”
Qili was shocked: "You mean, she replaced her and Shengyin's children with Corinji?" But why did she do it? ”
Ayili nodded again and again: "The princess doesn't know, the son of the demon girl and the former sect leader is the current sect leader, and he and His Highness actually look exactly the same." Do you remember when His Royal Highness left the palace to visit the countries of the Western Regions? Since then, they have been replaced! The people who have visited the countries of the Western Regions are not His Highness at all, but His Highness's big brother! Princess, what the slave said was not half false, at that time His Royal Highness was indeed caught by the demon girl up the mountain, and the slave and maid watched His Highness grow up, even if their brothers looked similar, they could still tell the difference. ”
Only then did Qili believe her: "But, if you can tell it, how can Brother Wang not recognize it?" If I had seen it at the time, I might have recognized it differently. ”
"Yes, at first, the slave didn't believe that His Majesty could accept such a ridiculous fact in order to protect that demon girl. But all this is true, His Highness was imprisoned on the mountain for several months, living a disgraceful life, and the poor Highness did not know that the person who captured him was his own mother, and he wanted to seek death several times! If it weren't for the fact that his eldest brother was injured and couldn't return to the palace, His Royal Highness promised to help him find a panacea, but the demon girl still refused to let him come back! Ayili was crying heartbreakingly, and she could really feel Colinji's pain.
Qili was stunned and speechless for a long time, the reason why she thought that Ayili was cranky was because she didn't believe that Brother Wang would do such an outrageous thing. Knowing that Kelinji was replaced, he could still pretend that nothing had happened, and would rather let Kelinji suffer than offend Mingyue, and connived at Mingyue and the sect leader to do whatever they wanted.
Now Brother Wang's approach is as good as she was back then, it turns out that Brother Wang is not only in love with Mingyue's beauty, but really in love with that woman, just like she fell in love with Shengyin.
Absurd brother and sister, absurd love, from now on, none of their brothers and sisters will have to count anyone, in the face of love, they are all defeated.
"Princess, what the slave said is true, it is not for His Highness to say it on purpose, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate. His Highness can tell the hiding place of the former sect leader, can draw the topography of the altar, he will not lie. Ayili was still worried that Qili doubted her words, and was eager to prove herself, "Otherwise, the slave maid will let His Highness draw it first, and then the princess will distinguish the authenticity......"
"No, I trust you." Qili bent down to help her up, "As for why Collinji decided to make enemies of that woman, it's hard to say now. ”
Ayili stood up hesitantly and asked puzzledly, "Princess, do you doubt Your Highness's motives?" ”
After all, blood is thicker than water, and that woman is his biological mother, which is a fact that is difficult to change. There is no love, where is the hate, he also wants to be recognized by his biological mother! If he really hated, it could only be said that he was completely desperate. Qili sighed faintly.
"Yes, Her Highness is completely desperate for her, that woman has only her sect leader's son in her heart, and she has not considered Her Highness's feelings at all. Princess, have you forgotten? That woman didn't fulfill her responsibilities as a mother for a day, she didn't even want to breastfeed Her Highness, she didn't regard Her Highness as her son from her heart, such a ruthless woman, it's not surprising to do this kind of business! ”
That's because she knows that she can't keep this son, and since she can't keep him by her side, she shouldn't have feelings for him. Ayili, you are also a mother, how can you not have a trace of nostalgia for the flesh and blood that was born in October. ”
"But......" Ayili didn't understand Qili's attitude, but she didn't know what to say, "Princess, are you going to let that enchantress go?" If so, the slave thinks it's good......"
"Don't think about it, what to do, I know it in my heart, I just don't want to be too reckless, in case I fall into the trap of the other party, I will lose all my efforts. I only have one chance, and I can only succeed and not fail. Don't worry, I'll help you no matter what. ”
"Well, the slave knows that the princess will not break her word." Ayili hesitated, "However, there is something that the slave maid has wanted to ask you for a long time, His Highness was born to that demon girl, are you really willing to let him go?" You don't even want to look at it, you're afraid it's ......"
Qi Liwan said with a smile: "But he is also the child of Brother Wang, the blood of my royal family, he was raised by you, you and I are like sisters, for the sake of you and Brother Wang, I will not embarrass him, I hope he will never be involved again, and live a peaceful and happy life from now on." ”
"Really?" Ayili cried with joy, held Qili's hand and asked, "Please forgive the princess, the slave and maid have overstepped, and the slave just wants to ask clearly, you really don't care about his background?" ”
Qili nodded with a smile: "You tell him to come to see me tomorrow, I have something to ask him." ”
Ayili happily wiped away her tears: "Okay, okay, I'll go back and tell him that his aunt wants to see him......"
Seeing off Ayili, Qili's mood could not be calmed down for a long time, at this time, the guards reported to her, and Mrs. Wusun came to ask to see her.
Mrs. Wusunyou, isn't she the princess of the Han Dynasty! Does her presence have any special significance?
