Chapter Fifty-Nine: Turning Enemies Against Others
Princess Qili took the initiative to ask to see Liu Ye, which was both reasonable and unexpected, Liu Ye believed that she was willing to give up the legendary bottle of the legendary very magical Soul Rejuvenation Pill, because for Princess Qili, no matter how magical the elixir was, it was worthless. In addition to the person she cares about the most, what else is worth her nostalgia in the world!
"Mrs. Right, this palace will hand over the Soul Resurrection Pill to you now, take it and save people!" Princess Qili does look like she is worried about Tu Qitang's injury, but Liu Ye doesn't think so, she thinks that Qili will make a decision after one night, and she must have made a plan, whether to completely let go of the past or let go and make a break, those are two diametrically opposite paths.
Liu Ye took the Soul Rejuvenation Pill sent by the maid, thought about it, and asked: "Princess Qili said that people who love each other don't have to care about a lifetime, as long as two people really love each other, it is an instant eternity." So, can the princess find peace in her heart now? ”
Qili was slightly stunned, and then showed a wry smile: "Mrs. Lao is worried about this palace, whether it is in the past or in the future, this palace will definitely be peaceful." ”
This sounded perfunctory, Liu Ye understood that it was not interesting to say more, so he got up and saluted: "Her Royal Highness the princess's grace in giving medicine, relieving worries and remembering it in my heart, if he has the opportunity in the future, he will repay it." ”
Qili waved her sleeves: "Don't be so polite, just a bottle of elixir is just a decoration here in this palace, and it is left for those in need to play its role." ”
"Her Royal Highness the princess dare not forget her life-saving grace, she will not thank you for her great kindness, and she will not disturb the princess's cultivation, and she will retire first."
Seeing that Liu Ye was leaving, Qili asked inexplicably: "Mrs. Right will leave in two days, right?" ”
It sounded like a casual question, but Liu Ye was shocked in his heart, turned around and said calmly: "Yes, there are still many things to solve when I go back, and now that I have seen Your Majesty and Your Highnesses, it is indeed time to go back." ”
"Then you're going back to Wusun? Or do you want to go away with someone you love? Qili's questioning confirmed Liu Ye's conjecture in her heart, she really didn't ask casually, but had another purpose.
"It depends on how well he recovers, and besides, it is not easy to get away from home, and there are many obstacles." Liu Ye paused, thinking of the persistence of the Bright Moon Holy Maiden, she didn't know when she and Tu Qitang would be able to get rid of the Xiling Sect.
"A lot of ties? For example, his inseparable family affection? What is the responsibility? Qili smiled disappreciatively: "In your opinion, these are all entanglements that are difficult to get rid of, but in the eyes of this palace, you are really too worried, and there are too many ties in the world, if you have to bear them, wouldn't you tire people to death!" Love has always been selfish, it is not easy to deal with the problems of two people, how can you have the leisure to take care of other people's affairs, even if you have flesh and blood relatives, what about the responsibilities you have to bear, these are what you really want to bear? ”
"It doesn't seem like that's the case in this palace! In this case, why do you have to be affected by unwillingness, after rescuing your lover, this palace advises you to stay away from the land of right and wrong, didn't Mrs. Right say that you want to live for yourself! It's not good to be too selfish, but it's good to be selfish once in a while! As for the aftermath of your worries, you may find that when the time comes, it is just a matter of worrying about the future. ”
Liu Ye held the bottle of Soul Rejuvenation Pill in his hand, looked directly at the beautiful and deep eyes, and slowly walked towards her: "Xie Wei believes that Her Royal Highness the princess said this out of good intentions, but please don't blame the princess, allow Xie Wei to say a few more words, has the princess already made a decision to make a break with her old enemy?" ”
"Nemesis?" A hint of murderous aura flashed in Qili's eyes instantly, and she quickly calmed down again, "Mrs. Right, no matter how much you know about this palace, or who you have heard about the so-called grievances and hatreds, this palace hopes that you will not meddle in your own affairs, so as not to put your own happiness into it." Take your Soul Resurrection Pill, save your lover, and get out of that ominous place as soon as possible! There is no need for outsiders to interfere in the matter between me and that woman, and besides, all this will have to be concluded sooner or later, and no one can stop it. You came to ask Bengong for medicine, Bengong has already given it to you, you keep remembering Bengong's kindness, then, what to do next, you must know very well in your heart. ”
"It is precisely because of the kindness of Her Royal Highness the princess that you can't leave like this, even if Her Royal Highness the princess can't listen to some words, she must say them." Liu Ye walked up to her fearlessly, watched her exquisite face begin to distort angrily, and said calmly, "When is the time for retribution, one of you is a noble princess, the other is an invincible saintess, from the outsider's point of view, you are all the embodiment of perfection, but the pain in your heart is tormenting you all the time, just like being devoured by a demon in your heart, you will never find a way to get rid of it." Xie Wei wants to ask, why did Her Royal Highness suddenly decide to do this? ”
"No, it wasn't a sudden decision, do you think Hongu was impulsive? Hmph, you're wrong, very wrong! The palace's plan to encircle and suppress the Xiling Sect has been brewing for many years, and it is not a matter of intent! Mrs. Right, you are talking more and more, do you think that this palace has regarded you as a confidant? I thought you were a smart person, and you didn't need to talk about it in this palace, but now it seems that it's just that! ”
"Xie Wei never thinks that he is a smart person, nor does he know how to understand current affairs, but for the people he cherishes, he feels the need to help the other party make the right choice. Her Royal Highness the princess is dissatisfied with the solution of worries, and the relief of worries can be ignored, but knowing that it is not beneficial for Her Highness to do this, how can she sit idly by! Speaking of which, the knot that has been entrenched in His Highness's heart for so many years is nothing more than the former leader of the Xiling Sect, Shengyin, and now twenty years have passed, His Highness has not lost anything because of his original departure, maybe His Highness himself didn't realize that without him, His Highness would still be doing well, isn't it? ”
Qili got up suddenly, it was no longer possible to hide the anger in her heart, she looked at Liu Ye, and said angrily: "Don't think that you can be arrogant in front of this palace if you know the past of this palace, that woman is a resentful woman, and she has made a lot of publicity about everything in the holy sound, so that he will not be able to get peace in the past twenty years!" Yes, the person who Hongu loves the most is Shengyin, so what? This palace will never let go of that woman in this life, and she must be broken! No one wants to stop this palace, if Mrs. Right speaks for that woman again, don't blame this palace for being unkind to you! It's good to go, don't send it! ”
Liu Ye wanted to ask her if she knew the fact that Shengyin was dead, her reaction was so excited, was she like the Bright Moon Holy Maiden, who firmly believed that Shengyin was still alive? So she didn't want to waste another minute or second, no matter what, she had to fight against the Bright Moon Holy Maiden to regain the Holy Voice?
It's just that Liu Ye has no chance, and the guards outside the palace flocked to her when they heard the movement, thinking that she was going to be disrespectful to Princess Qili, and they waved the swords in their hands to demonstrate to her. Qing Ling, who was waiting outside the hall, saw this scene and shouted angrily, but she was not the opponent of so many guards, so she could only squeeze into the crowd and stretch out her arms to protect Liu Ye, for fear that she would be hurt.
In this situation, even though Liu Ye still had a lot to say, he couldn't say anything, so he had to say goodbye to Princess Qili and leave with Qingling. As soon as I returned to the dormitory, I saw hundreds of guards surrounding, thinking that it should also be the order of Princess Qili.
Shizhong didn't know what was going on, so he bypassed the encirclement, slipped in through the back window of the bathroom, and asked Liu Ye and Qing Ling.
"Princess, why did so many guards come to guard it for no reason, could it be that the palace has entered the assassins?" The first thing in the division was worried about Liu Ye's safety.
Liu Ye shook his head helplessly: "That's not the case, I went to see Princess Qili just now, she gave me back the Soul Pill, and when I learned that she was determined to encircle and suppress the Holy Altar, I couldn't help but persuade her a few words." Princess Qili confessed her plans to me, but she insisted on refusing to give in, perhaps because she was afraid that I would report to the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, so she sent so many guards to prevent me from leaving the palace. ”
Qing Ling was so angry that he slapped the table: "It's too much, it's too much, isn't the princess for her good, she is so ignorant!" Listen, Master, thanks to those guards who said that they were ordered to protect the princess, even the blind can see that they are under house arrest! In short, that mad princess will not give up until she destroys the altar, and she will never let us go until she kills the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon. ”
Shi Zhong pondered for a moment and said: "The princess has obtained the Soul Restoration Pill, but she is under house arrest here, the altar is in danger, without prior notice, I am afraid that everyone will suffer." And Tu Qitang's body doesn't know how long it can last, time is too precious for us. ”
"It's better for Master Shi to take the Soul Rejuvenation Pill to the altar!" Liu Ye immediately thought of this idea, "Qingling and I can't leave under surveillance, can Master Shi go first?" ”
"But I can't keep you!" Shi Zhong didn't think about going to the altar to deliver medicine and report the news first, but he was worried that Liu Ye and Qing Ling were also in danger.
Qing Ling nodded, and looked at Shi Zhong with blank eyes: "Otherwise, let's go together, Master Shi, it's no problem for you to protect the princess, my light skills are also stronger than those guards, maybe we can escape." ”
Liu Ye was not as optimistic as Qing Ling: "For the sake of safety, it's better for Master Shi to go first, and we will stay." After all, I came this time to visit the royal family as Mrs. Wusunyou, and if I escape, I am afraid that Wusun will be affected. ”
Shi Zhong said clearly: "Princess, you are right, I understand, without further ado, I will go first!" Although Princess Qili sent someone to put you under house arrest, she didn't dare to do anything to you, I was in a hurry just now, so I didn't expect this. ”
"Momentary urgency......" Qing Ling repeated his words, and couldn't help but think about it again, she cared about every word he said, even if it was unintentional, she would think of Liu Ye.
"Alright, I'll leave everything to you, Master." Liu Ye handed over the Soul Restoration Pill to Shi Zhong and advised, "Don't take any risks, if the palace is too heavily guarded, come back first." ”
"Don't worry, I'll be careful."
In the sending away division, Liu Ye and Qing Ling were both worried, not only worried about Tu Qitang, but also the medicine gourd and poisonous scorpion trapped on the altar. Although the Xiling Sect led by the Holy Maiden of Bright Moon has done a lot of bad things, if it is really surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers, many innocent people will suffer. As soon as he thought of the scene of the blood flowing in Stara Mountain, Liu Ye couldn't help but feel heartache.
Unconsciously, two hours passed, Qing Ling relaxed, comforted Liu Ye and said: "Princess, no news is good news, you see that so much time has passed, and I haven't heard of any changes in the palace, which means that Master Shi has succeeded, and he may have gone up Stara Mountain now!" ”
"Well, it should be like this, Master Shi's martial arts are no problem, but it is still worrying if he is not found to have left the palace without permission." Liu Ye was still restless, tore off a curtain casually, walked to the desk, picked up a brush and wrote a few lines.
"Princess, what are you doing?" Qing Ling was about to come over to take a look, when she heard someone knocking on the door, she looked at Liu Ye nervously, Liu Ye had already put away the cloth and nodded at her.
Qing Ling opened the door and saw that there were two palace maids who were somewhat familiar, and asked casually, "You are the queen's palace maids, right?" I saw it last time at a banquet. ”
"Yes, the slaves and maids have followed the queen for many years, and the master will bring us to the banquet." The palace maids smiled sweetly and saluted Liu Ye, "The queen invites Mrs. Right to luncheon!" ”
"Okay, I'll go with you." Liu Ye was overjoyed, and he didn't care about changing his clothes, so he walked out with the palace maids. Seeing this, Qing Ling also hurriedly followed.
"Stop!" The guards blocked the way of Liu Ye and the others, looked at the two palace maids, and couldn't help frowning, "Where are you going?" ”
Qing Ling was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, so he seized the opportunity and shouted at him: "Mrs. Right went to dinner at the invitation of the queen, are you qualified to ask?" ”
The guards hesitated, if someone else invited Liu Ye to dinner, they could still intimidate them to go back, but in addition to the king and Princess Qili, the queen was the biggest, how could these little guards dare to go against the queen.
The queen's maid saw some clues and rebuked the guards with displeasure: "What are you doing here? Mrs. Right is the queen's honored guest, so don't let it go quickly! ”
"But Princess Qili has a life, and she wants us to protect Mrs. Right at all times......"
"Joke, when does Madame Right need you to protect you?" Qing Ling immediately interrupted him, and said angrily, "This is in the palace, who has the courage to be so bad for Mrs. Right?" I think there's no one else but you! ”
The dispute went on endlessly, and Liu Ye said to the guards: "Since you have an order, I won't make it difficult for others, so let's do it, you can go to the banquet with me, I promise that the queen will not blame, and Princess Qili, you can also explain." ”
The guards looked at each other, and for a moment they couldn't think of a better way, so they could only nod their heads in agreement.
In the back garden, the flowers bloom and are fragrant, and the concubines with different postures enjoy the flowers leisurely, laughing from time to time. The peerless queen of Fanghua sat on the phoenix couch in the pavilion, wearing the satin dress with rouge powder given to her by Liu Ye a few days ago, tasting the fragrant tea of the Han Dynasty, and couldn't help but think of this guest who came from afar.
Taking advantage of the good scenery of enjoying the flowers, the queen sent the palace maid to invite Liu Ye, she was full of curiosity about the famous right lady, although she was a little afraid of her beauty, but after all, she was not a woman that the king could touch at will, so naturally she didn't have to take it too seriously.
Adjust her mentality, just looking forward to Liu Ye's arrival, but she didn't expect that there were many guards who came with her, and when she looked closely, those guards were actually people next to Princess Qili, and she couldn't help but wonder secretly.
Even if she had doubts, the queen was still calm on the surface, and warmly beckoned Liu Ye to sit beside her and recommended the food in the palace to her. The guards surrounded the pavilion, as if they were afraid that Liu Ye would disappear out of thin air, and despite the queen's forbearance, it was inevitable that it would break out.
"This palace invites the sisters to enjoy the flowers, what do you all look like with fierce gods, and don't go far from this palace."
The guard at the head replied without humility or arrogance: "I am ordered to act to protect Mrs. You, if the queen has any opinions, please find Princess Qili to reason." ”
When the queen heard his unceremonious reply, she trembled with anger, which made it clear that she was suppressing her with Princess Qili, knowing that Princess Qili didn't even care about the king, and she was sure that she was helpless as a queen.
"You, you ......" The queen is pampered on weekdays, when has she been subjected to this kind of, and the little guards dare not take her seriously, not relying on Princess Qili to support them.
"Queen......" Liu Ye gently patted the back of the queen's hand, signaling her to forbear for the time being, and then glanced at Qingling. Qing Ling comprehended, drank with the concubines and guessed fists, purposefully making noise, attracting the attention of the guards.
The queen looked at Liu Ye in surprise, Liu Ye took advantage of the unpreparedness to stuff the strip of cloth full of words into her palm, and said softly: "Please transfer it to His Majesty the King." ”
The queen put away the cloth strip casually, poured wine for Liu Ye, and leaned close to her ear and said: "Mrs. Right doesn't know, Princess Qili has always been public, and Your Majesty may not be able to restrain her." ”
Liu Ye smiled slightly: "It's a matter of Your Majesty, even if you can't restrain it, you can't turn a blind eye." ”
"What are you talking about...... The queen thought that Liu Ye had offended Princess Qili and asked her to help tell the king, but she didn't expect to implicate the king.
"It is inconvenient to be watched, the queen may wish to believe and solve her worries, and after telling your majesty, your majesty will understand." Liu Ye picked up the wine glass and drank it up.
The queen barely kept smiling, she wanted to ask for clarity now, but she couldn't ignore Princess Qili's eyeliner, so she had to swallow back the question.
Liu Ye drank two glasses of wine and left without much delay, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the guards, and at the same time to buy enough time for the queen. The guards escorted Liu Ye back to the palace, and the queen immediately dismissed the concubines and hurriedly ran to the king to report the news.
Back in the dormitory, Qing Ling was about to ask Liu Ye what he had written on the strip of cloth, only to see Shizhong holding his bleeding right shoulder, with a look of shame on his face.
"Master, how can this be? Aren't you ......" Qing Ling reacted immediately, glaring at the guards outside the window angrily, "Damn it, these guys don't even have a way to live......
Shi Zhong said guiltily: "Princess, I'm sorry, I've been discovered, I can't stay here too long, otherwise it will affect you." ”
"Master, don't say anything like being involved, we're in the same class!" Liu Ye hurriedly urged Qing Ling to heal his injuries in the teacher, and comforted him softly, "Don't blame yourself, I have found a way to inform them, and there should be no more mistakes this time." ”
"Really? That's great! Shi Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and was about to ask questions, when he suddenly heard a rapid knock on the door.
