Chapter 40 Knowing People and Knowing Faces
Corinji has lived in the palace of the king of rest since he was a child, and has heard a lot about his father and aunt, although there are some places that he still doesn't understand, but when he learned about the love-hate entanglement between the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon and the holy sound, he immediately figured out what role his aunt played in it.
Apart from his father, the most trustworthy person for Coringey was his nurse, who used to be Princess Anxi's maid in her youth, and it was not until the king brought Coringey back to the palace that he transferred her to take care of the prince. For this reason, Princess Anxi was once good to Corinji, after all, she was also of royal blood, even if she didn't agree with the royal brother, she was a little close to his son.
Unexpectedly, Colinge gradually grew up, and his appearance became more and more similar to the Bright Moon Saintess, at first his gray eyes made Princess Anxi feel guilty, but he didn't expect that a few years later, he would grow into a copy of the Bright Moon Saintess. At the same time, the king's defense of the Xiling religion became more and more obvious, and one had to wonder how closely he had a relationship with the Xiling religion.
Seeing Corinji, Princess Anxi finally realized that what reason could her royal brother risk being questioned and desperately keep the notorious killer organization? Love makes people lose their minds, and she was like this, the original most disgusting became the favorite, knowing that it was wrong for her to do so, she still had to stick to it without hesitation.
Princess Anxi no longer came to visit Corinth, she couldn't spend every day with the enemy's child, she hated to kill the witch with her own hands, but she couldn't do anything to her son. Fear of Brother Wang is one of the reasons, and the family affection flowing in the blood should also be partly factorial, since there is nothing to be done about this child, then you can only stay away from him.
Because of this, Liu Ye, Qing Ling, and Shi Zhong couldn't help but worry about him, Princess Anxi already knew his true identity, how could he get close to her to regain the treasured elixir!
In the face of their concerns, Coringey seemed to have a plan: "Don't forget, my nurse was my aunt's maid, and they still correspond to this day, and the nurse is very kind to me, and she will do whatever I say." Of course, I don't want her to be in danger, and I'll come to you for help if necessary. ”
"That's nature, when you arrange to notify us, let us do the dangerous things!" Liu Ye hurriedly responded, it was not easy for Ke Linji to be willing to help so much, how could he let him take risks again.
Colingey nodded, got up and planned to leave: "Then I won't disturb your rest, good night!" ”
Liu Ye and the others sent him to the corridor, watched his back disappear at the end, and then retreated to the room.
Qing Ling took Liu Ye's arm and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Princess, Ke Linge is really a good person, his mother ignored him, and the eldest brother pretended to be him to have fun, and he was locked up in a small black room to suffer. In the end, instead of complaining about them, he had to help them deal with his aunt, which is really thicker than water, and family affection is precious. gave birth to such a good son, isn't the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon ashamed! ”
Of course, Liu Ye agreed with Qing Ling's words, Ke Linji was indeed a rare good person, but she was still a little worried: "However, Princess Anxi is also his relative, if it is about feelings, he is closer to his aunt than his mother, and now in order to save Tu Qitang, he wants him to turn against his aunt, in case he is found to cause trouble, I will be too worried in my heart." ”
"But this is also something that can't be helped, Princess Anxi poisoned Shengyin, which she owes him, and using her elixir to save Shengyin's son can be regarded as repayment. It's just that we must not push Corinth to the forefront, and when this matter is over, perhaps we should take him away, so as not to be retaliated by Princess Anxi. "Shizhong has always been worried about his friend's situation, but no one can do anything about Collinge's future.
"Take him? No need for it! Qing Ling couldn't agree and shook his head repeatedly, "He finally came back, take him back to the Xiling Sect Altar, is he going to be locked up in a small dark room again?" No, no, this is too unfair to him, he is the real Prince of Rest, it is only right to stay in the palace, with his father to protect him, what can Princess Rest do even if she knows that he did it? It's just a pill, it was originally used to save people, why hide it privately, besides, she owes it to them, it's not enough to kill someone's father, even her son has to die if she doesn't save her, she will be punished by God. ”
Shi Zhong smiled and said, "I didn't say to take him back to the altar, Colinge yearns for a free life, he is not nostalgic for the luxury of the palace, on the contrary, he would rather live that ordinary life." Perhaps, being a herdsman or a woodcutter is happier than being a prince! ”
"If everything can be reasonable, there will not be so many regrets in the world." Liu Ye sighed lightly, "It would be a good thing to take him out of this place of right and wrong and live the life he wants to live, if he can achieve his wish." However, this is only our one-sided opinion, and we need to consult him. ”
"Well, let's talk about it when we get the pill, it's useless to talk about it now." Qing Ling stretched and yawned, she couldn't hold it anymore if she hadn't rested well for a few days in a row.
Seeing this, Shizhong said goodbye very familiarly: "Princess, Qingling, you can rest, and I will come back tomorrow morning." ”
"Okay, Master, you can also have a good rest." Sending away the teacher, Liu Ye quietly thought about it alone, if he succeeded in getting the pill, how could he repay Ke Linji!
I hadn't returned to my dormitory for a long time, and when I saw the familiar grass and trees, Colingie was almost moved to tears. That night, he saw the Bright Moon Holy Maiden for the first time, and before he could understand what was going on, he was knocked unconscious by her slap. When I woke up, I found myself locked in a small secret room, calling the heavens and the earth unspiritual, as if I was isolated from the world and in another world.
Corinth even thought he was dead, his soul imprisoned there, but his feeling was clear, he would be hungry and thirsty, he would cry out tired and tired, he would wake up groggy and fall asleep, the horrific experience would come and go, it was a nightmare that would never wake up, there was only darkness and despair in the dream, the light that had once existed, he was a forgotten man.
Whenever he woke up, he would see several plates of food on the table, and the food was cold, and he had no appetite at all. However, he was so hungry that he had no strength in his body, so he sat up and picked up a piece of hard tortilla, and ate a few things that tasted like chewing wax, and put down the bread and picked up the jerky, which was as hard as a stone.
He wept as he ate, he didn't know why he had become like this, he had been careful in the palace all these years, he would rather be bullied than dare to argue with the royal brothers, even the palace guards he had never offended. From a very young age, he knew that a prince without a mother and no background was not qualified to aspire to royal power, and if he wanted to live, he had to be extra careful.
Unable to eat the food, he lay back on his bed, wondering who had taken him and what those familiar-looking eyes were. Fell asleep in a daze, weren't the gray eyes in the dream himself, he was caught by himself? He caused all this on his own?
When he woke up again, he was in a cold sweat, looking at the strange and narrow secret room, and the dim oil lamp in the corner was as weak as him. To his surprise, the food on the table had changed, the hard tortillas had been replaced by steaming dough, the stone-hard jerky had been turned into freshly cooked beef, and the smell of the food had aroused his appetite, and he didn't think much about it, so he got up and ate it all.
Every day that followed, he was able to eat delicious meals, but he also realized more and more that it was impossible to get out of here. His captives may not want him to die, but they will not give him back his freedom, but isn't it even more terrible to wait for death in this secret room that cannot see the light of day! The thought of spending the next few decades like this shuddered.
He wondered who had treated him so cruelly, and he thought about everyone in the palace, they were suspicious. His father had always loved him, and although he could not pass on the throne to him, he was quite kind to him. He was rewarded with more things than the royal brothers, could it be that the royal brothers had long been disgusted with him, and they were afraid that their father would change their minds and let him succeed him, so they made the first move? Considering that he was a prince, he didn't kill him immediately?
In this way, he spent hundreds of days and nights in fear, and he did not want to endure this torment, and it was better for him to die in despair. He began to go on a hunger strike, refusing to drink even a sip of water, and after a long time, his consciousness began to blur, and the whole person was light, as if floating in mid-air, feeling extremely relaxed.
Death was a relief for him, and he longed for it, but someone refused to let him do so and pulled him back from the brink of death. He was forced to undergo treatment, a warm breath flowing into his body, and his heart, which had almost stopped, beat vigorously. Immediately afterward, he was forced to be poured with fluids, his stomach gradually filled, and his limbs began to regain sensation.
The first thing I saw when I woke up was not the familiar gray eyes, but two young maids, who didn't look like they were in the palace, and their manners were a little reckless, but they didn't look like ordinary people. They never talked to him in front of him, but silently served him to eat, drink, and Lazar. He is like a person who has been paralyzed for many years and has lost his ability to take care of himself, and under the gaze of these two strangers, his dignity has disappeared little by little.
It wasn't until he met the medicine gourd and the master who had trespassed in that he began to gradually understand his situation. He also had some impressions of the words Xiling Sect, Mingyue Holy Maiden, and Sect Master, but he never thought of having anything to do with those people. They said that he was the son of the Holy Maiden of Mingyue, and that Tu Qitang, the leader of the Xiling Sect, was his eldest brother, and he couldn't accept this fact, the person who imprisoned him turned out to be his unmasked biological mother, and the reason for imprisoning him was to let his eldest brother replace him.
I have never received a day of mother's love, but now that we have met, they are coming to imprison him. Colingey didn't know what he had done wrong, or if his very existence was a mistake. was arrested by his biological mother for no reason to provide convenience for his eldest brother, nothing more than for his identity as a prince, but did they ask him if he was willing to give up this identity on his own initiative.
If he could return to his mother, he was willing to give up everything, and he took it for granted that his mother, the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, was sorry and would say "I'm sorry" to him. But his wish was once again frustrated, and the Bright Moon Saintess regarded him as nothing, and all she had in her eyes was the cold corpse, and when the ice cave collapsed, he gambled with his own life to bet on him or the corpse.
The Bright Moon Saintess replied with action, and it was the corpse that she rescued with all her internal strength, leaving him in the ice cave. If it weren't for Shizhong going and returning, he would definitely freeze to death inside.
Bright Moon Holy Maiden, as a mother, how can people not hate you!
