Heaven and Earth Border II.
After Queen Zun and Bi Jun left, Bi Lian took the long blood-stained hair and came to the Night Secluded Hall nervously. She kept in mind Queen Zun's instructions, and this time she met with the Demon Venerable, and she must not be discovered by others. When she came to the Demon Capital, she first found out that the Nine Heavens King was not in the Night Shadow Palace, but went to the border of the Heavenly Realm to seek a way to break through, and then she was relieved.
Bi Lian was used by the King of Nine Heavens to poison King Yun Yao, and afterwards the King of Nine Heavens really thought he was dead, so he didn't take action against her. Bi Lian knew in her heart that she was already a fish on the chopping board, and she could lose her life at any time, and the reason why the King of Nine Heavens did not extinguish her mouth was just because she didn't want to regenerate incidents at the juncture of the war between heaven and earth, causing unnecessary suspicion and trouble.
But if he inherits the position of Demon Venerable, and even rules the heavens and the earth, destroying the Bi family is easier for the Nine Heavens King than pinching an ant to death. In fact, she is willing to serve Queen Zun, not only out of guilt, but also partly for the sake of the Bi family. As for whether she could get away with it, she didn't dare to think that no matter what, as long as she could keep the Tourmaline Palace, she would die without regrets.
It is not difficult to evade the search and capture of the guards of the Night Shadow Temple, and with Bi Lian's strength, there is no need to worry about this. The closer she got to the Demon Venerable, the more frighteningly hot the long hair in her arms became, like a fire that was about to penetrate her chest. Thinking back to every word that Queen Zun said, she has never been able to understand the meaning, perhaps, these words can only be understood by Demon Zun, after all, they have been married for many years, Queen Zun knows him very well, and her actions and words should be purposeful.
Even if Queen Zun still resents her and wants to kill her in this way, Bi Lian can't be cowardly. Judging from the current situation, instead of pinning his hopes on King Jiuxiao, it is better to fully trust Queen Zun. At least, Queen Zun will not be wiped out, and there will always be someone in the Bi family who will survive.
Having made up his mind, Bi Lian drove away the last trace of cowardice in his heart and fearlessly sneaked into the Night Hidden Temple. In her memory, Mozun usually liked to stay in the study, either the school field or the racetrack, but she had traveled all over these places, and no trace of him was found. Of course, Bi Lian couldn't just grab someone to come over and ask about the whereabouts of the Demon Venerable, she came this time to keep it absolutely secret, which also meant that she could only rely on herself for everything.
Thinking about it, Bi Lian thought of the most likely place for the Demon Venerable to go, although she knew that the Queen Venerable had gone to the Heavenly Realm, but the Demon Venerable was still kept in the dark. Queen Zun disappeared for no reason, how could her husband, who loved her deeply, be indifferent. By the way, that's it, the Demon Venerable is worried about the whereabouts of the Queen, and the most likely place for him to go is the Queen's bedroom.
Standing in front of the bed, the Demon Venerable held the bamboo flute broken in two, and all kinds of disturbing images flashed in his heart. Last night, Queen Zun disappeared, and he ordered people to search the entire Night Shadow Temple, but she was not seen. The strange thing is that the maid who serves her on weekdays is still there, if she is just bored and wants to go around, why would she leave the maid.
The eyes of the two maids were evasive, and when they replied, their voices trembled. The Demon Venerable was very surprised, and upon inquiry, he learned that an assassin had come to the dormitory, but the queen prevented the guards from saving him. The queen is threatened, why should she stop the rescue? Could it be that the assassin was someone she knew, or did she not want the identity of the other person to be revealed?
Why? Why would she do this? Demon Venerable was puzzled, dismissed the maids and guards, he worked in the palace for a night, their husband and wife have been sweet and affectionate for many years, he asked himself if there is no place to live with her, he can feel her true feelings, the moment he left the Heavenly Jingming Palace, she gave his future to him, she said that he had no regrets in this life, and he was full of gratitude.
With his understanding of Xianruo, she would never disappear for no reason, it is true that Yun Yao's distress had made her extremely sad, but fortunately, Yun Yao was fine later, and then he sent him to the Heavenly Rainbow Valley to recuperate. Could it be that Slender Sizi was eager and secretly went to the heavenly realm without him? However, this is not possible, she wants to see her son, she can tell him, he will not be embarrassed, why bother to sneak there!
If there is a reason that must be concealed, it is Liujing and Tianyin, but the relationship between Xianruo and Liujing has broken down, there will be no more entanglement between them, Liujing will not forgive her, and Xianruo will not take her own humiliation. What's more, Xianruo has always been on guard against Jiuxiao, although she doesn't say it, she always suspects in her heart that the mastermind behind poisoning Yun Yao is Jiuxiao. In order to prevent Yun Yao's traces from being discovered, especially by Jiuxiao, she would rather endure the pain of longing than rush to the heavenly realm and expose Yun Yao to danger.
The person who has the most scruples is Jiuxiao, her identity is embarrassing, she is not Jiuxiao's biological mother, but she wants to be his mother. When she came to the earth realm, Xianruo was very good to Jiuxiao, but Jiuxiao didn't appreciate it, and always spoke ill of her. He, the father king, thought that he was just playing with a child's temper, and he couldn't bear to be harsh when he thought of his deceased wife, until Jiuxiao completely ignored Xianruo, and he realized that it was his fault for connivance.
Second, Jiuxiao has no brotherly affection for Yun Yao, they get along very well on the surface, but there is almost no communication in private. Yun Yao is indifferent by nature and is not interested in the position of Demon Venerable, but Jiuxiao has always regarded him as a thorn in his side, lest Xian Ruo instigate behind his back and compete with him for the throne of Demon Venerable. For this reason, she is careful everywhere, and never talks about her sons on the pillow, for fear of falling into the charge of sowing discord.
Demon Venerable sat on the bed, shaking his head back and forth, no matter what the reason, Xianruo would not take the initiative to leave the Night Shadow Palace. The only possibility was that she had been held hostage, but he couldn't think of who had held her hostage. Actually, it's not that I can't think of it, but I don't want to think about it, looking all over the world, I hate the people who can't get rid of it, who else will there be besides Jiuxiao.
Why did Jiuxiao do this? Can't he still appreciate the good intentions of the delicate! Slender repeatedly retreated, enduring the pain of separation of flesh and blood, just in exchange for mutual peace and harmony. Whether Yun Yao was poisoned by him or not, she didn't plan to investigate, what else did he want! Unless, Jiuxiao already knew that Yun Yao was not dead, so he would be annoyed and angry and ask Xianruo, in order to protect Yun Yao, Xianruo naturally refused to speak, then, Jiuxiao didn't do anything and held her hostage?
Thinking of this, the Demon Venerable only felt a faint pain in his chest, Jiuxiao's son was withdrawn by nature, and after losing his mother, he was even narrow-minded, he practiced hard spiritual power and vowed to become the Demon Venerable, no matter who dared to stop him on the way, he would not hesitate to get rid of the disaster. Why is this happening? Is it just because he endlessly indulges? He had already decided to pass on the throne to Jiuxiao, he just wanted to live a peaceful and peaceful life with Xianruo and Yun Yao, why was it still difficult to avoid this tragedy of family cannibalism!
Is this God's punishment? Punish him for taking away someone else's beloved wife, punish him for forgetting his mother who has forgotten Jiuxiao, punish him for having the ambition to annex the heavenly realm?
The Demon Venerable was full of grief and anger and had nowhere to vent, so he slapped the bed, shocking the pillow and mattress, but saw the bamboo flute broken in two under the pillow. He held it in his hand, and suddenly felt that the world was spinning, this is a testimony of their love, if Xianruo said, the flute is in the person, unless she wants to say goodbye to him, this flute will break.
The crack is clean and neat, and at first glance, it is due to divine power, and if she is delicate and weak, this cannot be broken by her own hands, nor can it be broken by ordinary demon soldiers and demon kings. The flute confirmed his suspicion that Xianruo might have been killed.
"Bi Lian dares to see Your Majesty......" Demon Venerable's figure flickered, looking at the person in front of him, everything was like a phantom, and he couldn't help but shake his head.
"Bi Lian, Bi Lian, how can it be your ......" Demon Zun didn't have time to think about it, he just wanted to know if he was dreaming, he had a nightmare, and when he woke up from the dream, he would be fine, and if he would let him play the flute to her like before.
"Your Majesty, Bi Lian was entrusted by Her Royal Highness the Queen to send this thing." Bi Lian didn't dare to hesitate, kneeling forward, his hands offering blood-stained green silk.
Demon Venerable was shocked, and took the long strand of hair tremblingly, and as soon as his fingertips touched it, he knew that it was delicate hair. But her hair was stained with blood, and the almost dried blood seemed to be a horrible sight he had never seen before, and he was dumbfounded, and it took a long time for him to finally calm down.
"She, where is she, how can this be in your hands? Did she say anything? ”
Bi Lian said according to the words explained by the queen: "This is sent to the Tourmaline Palace by the Spirit Crane, Bi Lian does not know where His Royal Highness is now, but His Royal Highness has something to pass on to you, she said, 'I have left the realm, and my relationship with him is like this green silk being cut in two. ’”
Demon Venerable shook his head, how could he not hear it, this was a sentence against his will. If she wants to leave, why should she leave a message to him, this green silk is stained with her blood, if she wants to abandon him, will she hurt herself! This is an eternal parting, she knows that she will never see him again, and in this way she tells him that she is no longer there, and there is no need to look for him.
The reason why Xianruo said this was just to hide the cause of his death and prevent their father and son from killing again. Xianruo was thinking about him when she was dying, and would rather let him think that she had betrayed him than pursue him. If she loves him, just as he loves her passionately, they will always think about each other, as long as the other party can live well, what is it to sacrifice themselves.
She didn't blame anyone until she died, for fear that he would be embarrassed and hide the crime for the perpetrator. She was afraid that after she left, he would live in boundless pain and regret, and never be liberated. She was afraid that she would be alive and her beloved son would face a threat, so it would be better to break the idea of the absolute party with death.
Jiuxiao, Jiuxiao, besides him, who else can make Xianruo work hard.
Bi Lian's atmosphere didn't dare to come out, she was afraid that the Demon Venerable would beat her to death with a wave of his palm, and she was afraid that the Tourmaline Palace would be razed to the ground. Even with the Queen's assurance, she still couldn't feel at ease.
"Go back, don't mention this to anyone." Demon Venerable said slowly, he already knew the truth, and his hatred for Jiuxiao was far beyond the love of father and son, even so, he couldn't let such a terrifying truth spread. Let everyone think that Xianruo left him, he can't live up to Xianruo's hard work. If Xian Ruo sacrificed for him, what can he do for Xian Ruo, he has to think carefully about this question.
Demon Venerable told Bi Lian not to mention it to anyone, in fact, the safest way to keep a secret by someone is to kill her. But he didn't need Bi Lian to forget Xianruo's last words, so there was no need to do so.
Bi Lian looked at him in disbelief, everything was expected by Queen Zun, and Demon Venerable really didn't embarrass himself. She breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly left the Night Shadow Temple.
"Nine Skies...... Nine Heavens ......" Demon Venerable repeated his name in the dark, rubbing the broken flute back and forth, his gaze becoming deeper and deeper.
