Celestial Sound VIII.
In the face of the request of the Six Pure Heavenly Kings, Shui Lian couldn't say the word "no" no matter what, Tianyin was his only heir, his most cherished person, and now he was actually dying, this fact was unacceptable.
Tianyin has a deep love for Shuilian, and the sacrifices he made are enough for Shuilian to wait for her life, although she can't forget Yun Yao in her heart, even if she becomes close to Tianyin, she can't forget him. Shuilian persuaded herself to return to Tianyin, not only to repay his kindness, but also for the future of the Shui family.
She is willing to give up her true happiness, willing to give up the love of her heart, and become the princess of Tianyin. But is it fair for Tianyin to do this? Tianyin loves her wholeheartedly, and she can't give him all the love, and even when he is around, she can't help but think of other men.
Shuilian didn't want to deceive Tianyin, she knew that her favorite was Yun Yao, but she didn't want to hurt Tianyin anymore, lest he know the truth and be sad. She had already broken his heart, and if it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been so weak, he was the future king of heaven, who should have enjoyed a lifetime of glory, but for her, he became a prisoner of love.
"Miss......" Shui Zhiqing, who was waiting outside the bamboo forest, saw the worried water lotus, and asked cautiously, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" Your Majesty, what did he tell you? ”
Shui Lian smiled reluctantly: "Your Majesty wants to rebuild the Water Garden Palace and give Shui Ming the title of King of Water Garden." ”
"What? This, is this true? Shui Zhiqing's eyes widened in surprise, immersed in the ecstasy of being lost and regained, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, "Miss, this is really good, the Water Garden Palace can regain its past glory, and the young master continues the title of the King of the Water Garden, is there anything more joyful than this?" ”
Shui Lian knew that he was looking forward to the Shui family regaining its strength all the time, smiled and nodded, Shui Zhiqing did not notice her embarrassment, and then said: "The Infinite Heavenly God finally did not give up on our Shui family, fortunately, the young lady and the young master are safe and sound, and His Majesty the Heavenly King will make the decision to rebuild the Water Garden Palace." Zhiqing went to the ancestral hall of the Shui family to put incense on the prince and princess, telling them that there are successors to the Shui family, and the Shui family can still be as majestic as before......"
Shui Zhiqing's emotions were very excited, and he spoke incoherently, and gradually regained his composure after the excitement, looking at the sorrow between Shui Lian's eyebrows and eyes, he was shocked, and hurriedly asked: "Miss, His Majesty the King of Heaven helped us revitalize the Shui family, aren't you happy?" Why are you worried? ”
"I, I'm fine......" Shuilian didn't know where to start, she couldn't say that she didn't want to marry Tianyin.
"Miss, what's going on? If you have something in your heart, just tell Zhiqing, don't forget, Zhiqing swears to follow you and the young master to the death. "Although Shui Zhiqing is not proficient in the relationship between men and women, he also understands it a little, and the Six Pure Heavenly Kings will not rebuild the Water Garden Palace for no reason, and he understands it with a little association.
"Could it be that His Majesty the Heavenly King mentioned your marriage to Tianyinjun?" Shui Zhiqing carefully checked her expression, and was very conflicted in his heart, he heard about the love between Shui Lian and Yun Yao, and while feeling sorry for Miss, he also felt sorry for Tianyin. Compared with King Yunyao of the Earth Realm, Shui Zhiqing is obviously more inclined to Tianyinjun, but the matter of feelings is reluctant, and he can't make decisions for Miss.
Shui Lian walked towards Tianyin's dormitory, Shui Zhiqing followed silently and didn't dare to ask again, until she saw the lotus pond, Shui Lian stopped, thought for a moment and sighed: "Zhiqing, what do you say I should do?" ”
Shui Zhiqing thought for a while and asked rhetorically, "What are the plans of Miss?" Where should I go, I believe that Miss has a direction in her heart. ”
Shui Lian smiled bitterly: "If you can do everything you want, where is there any trouble, Zhiqing, I can't just think about myself, I have to think about you for Xiaoming, for the entire Shui family." ”
"Miss......" Shui Zhiqing came to his senses completely, and said in a trembling voice, "Zhiqing said that he swore to follow Miss and Young Master to the death, no matter what decision Miss makes, Zhiqing will not stop him." It's just that if the young lady wants to follow her heart, can she really be happy? ”
Shui Lian was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Yes, following your own heart may not necessarily lead to happiness." Besides, happiness is too far away for me, far away like a dream. ”
Shui Lian walked into the dormitory, Shui Zhiqing didn't catch up, at this time, she needed someone to calm down and think clearly about what to do in the future. It is impossible for them to return to the Earth Realm, the affectionate King Yun Yao has passed away, and for the sake of a deceased person, it is obviously more than worth the loss to hurt someone who is also deeply affectionate.
Back in the dormitory, Shui Ming was already asleep, his face was much ruddy, and there was a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth. The sister he had been dreaming about for a long time was finally back, and he could finally sleep peacefully. Shuilian sat on the edge of the bed, staring at her brother's sleeping face, if it weren't for Tianyin, their sister and brother would only be afraid that they would never see each other again. Shui Ming has suffered so much at a young age, he still has a long way to go, and her decision is enough to influence his future.
Bursts of pain came from Shui Lian's chest, like a sharp dagger stabbing into the heart, at first a sharp and clear pain, followed by the torment of being unable to breathe. Her choice is too important for Shui Ming, whether he is the highly respected King of Water Garden in the future, or a fugitive who is on the move, it is up to her to decide today.
She can't just think about herself, her father and mother entrusted Shui Ming to her, and she didn't have any excuse to retreat. This is her mission, and there is no room for her to escape. Maybe not for the revival of the Shui family, but only for the future of Shui Ming, it is enough for her to make concessions.
Becoming the princess of Tianyin is her only way out. Shuilian's hand stroked her chest and patted it lightly a few times, it was time to let go, some people put it in their hearts, some things were not mentioned anymore, and it was not so difficult to make a choice. Now that she has decided, she can no longer regret it, and no matter what changes happen in the future, she must be determined.
Be Tianyin's wife, do your best to love him, protect him, and raise an heir for him. Thinking of Tianyin, Shuilian's heart swelled with a trace of tenderness, after all, she was the person she loved, and staying with him for a lifetime was not as difficult as she imagined. Maybe they didn't have much time, maybe he was gone before she could fall in love with him again, but she believed they would be happy.
Shuilian couldn't wait to see Tianyin, and asked all the attendants, but no one knew where he was. The water lotus looked at the lotus pond in front of her, and her eyes stayed on the rockery by the pool. There was a secret of Celestial Voice, and she wondered if the broken spirit was still there, and now that she had been given a new life, what Celestial Sound would do with her original spirit.
Shuilian never knew that there was a mystery hidden under the rockery, she followed her memory, opened the mechanism of the rockery, and the rockery slowly moved backwards, and a tunnel appeared. Walking down hundreds of steps, she was now at the bottom of the lotus pond, pushing open the transparent crystal door, feeling the oppressive cold.
She seemed to see Tianyin's painful expression again, he kept shivering, his lips were dark and purple, his hands hugged his trembling shoulders, and he staggered towards the lotus platform. She imagined Tianyin dragging her sick and weak body, suffering from the cold again and again, just to take a look at herself in the ice coffin.
There was no one around, Tianyin was not here, Shui Lian put away her heart full of sadness, walked up to the lotus platform, and plucked up the courage to look at the translucent ice coffin. But she was stunned after just one look, the ice coffin was empty, there was no spirit at all, but she had seen it with her own eyes, the scarred spirit.
The secret passage under the rockery does exist, and the ice coffin is the same as in memory, why is her spirit body missing? Shui Lian didn't believe that what she saw with her own eyes was an illusion, but she couldn't explain the situation in front of her, she was at a loss for what to do, staring at the ice coffin and wondering.
"Lian'er, it turns out that you are ...... here" Tianyin saw that the rockery mechanism had been opened, and thought that he had read it wrong, but he didn't expect that someone really found out his secret, and it was Shuilian himself.
"How did you find here?" Tianyin smiled unnaturally, for fear that Shui Lian would ask about the origin of the ice coffin, and said, "When the attendant saw me just now, he said that you are looking for me everywhere, Lian'er, is there something wrong with me in such a hurry?" ”
"Well, I've got something to say to you." Shui Lian saw his panic and turned to face the ice coffin, "If I'm not mistaken, it's my spirit body stored here, is it that I am now from here?" ”
Shuilian herself felt that this question was illogical, and she didn't expect Tianyin to give an answer, but she heard Tianyin sigh: "Since you have found out, I have nothing to say, yes, I keep your spirit body just to wait for you to be resurrected." I don't know where your spirit is, but I know you have a chance to come back. If someone is willing to sacrifice their spiritual power, you have hope of survival......"
"But, since the spirit has no signs of life, how can you be sure that I will be resurrected?" Shuilian asked incredulously.
Tianyin raised his eyes to look at her, and the tenderness in his eyes was indulgent: "I don't know if anyone is willing to sacrifice spiritual power to save your spirit, but I am willing to give everything to save your spirit, only in this way, when the spirit is released, can the spirit be recovered." ”
Shui Lian looked at him in surprise and muttered, "What do you mean, what do you mean......"
Tianyin walked slowly towards her, her slender fingers trembling to untie her clothes, Shui Lian lowered her head, and was surprised to find that there was a lilac scar on her snow-white chest. After the resurrection, she had not carefully looked at her body, it turned out that she was still her, and she had never changed.
"Someone helped you open the gate of the heavenly realm and bring your spirit back to the aura cave, that is the only chance for you to be resurrected, so I sent your spirit body to ......"
"You know I was in the Reiki Cave?" Shui Lian suddenly felt that she was in a cold sweat all over her body, she didn't believe that Tianyin knew everything, and she could still be so calm, "What else do you know?" You see me with him......"
"Lian'er." Tianyin interrupted her and shook her head with a smile, "It doesn't matter who you're with, what matters is that you're back." ”
Shui Lian bit her lip, and tears of mixed feelings welled up in her eyes: "You spent your spiritual power to protect my spirit body, but after you were resurrected, I didn't realize your existence. Tianyin, don't you hate me? ”
Tianyin still shook his head: "My greatest wish is that you can be happy, Lian'er, if you are happy, I will feel at ease." ”
"Nonsense, I betrayed you to get pleasure, how can you rest assured?" Shui Lian burst into tears and slapped his chest, "Hypocrisy, you don't have the same heart at all......"
Tianyin held her hands and said softly: "Lian'er, it's not your fault, you and I have misunderstood my father and thought that he was the murderer who destroyed the Water Garden Palace." You hate me as you right, with your personality, even if you die, you won't come back to see me, but fortunately you met that person, who, like me, is willing to give everything for you, fortunately, otherwise how could I see you. ”
"Fool, Tianyin, you are so stupid, why are you so stupid......" Shuilian cried and fell into his arms, it turned out that she owed more than Yun Yao, Yun Yao gave her spirit, Tianyin gave her spirit, they gave her everything she could to be reborn, she not only failed to repay the favor, but also put them in a life and death predicament.
Tianyin hugged her tightly and asked after a long time, "Lian'er, what did you want to tell me just now?" ”
Shui Lian hugged him, not daring to look up into his eyes: "I, I don't know if I am qualified to be your princess, I ......"
"Lian'er......" Tianyin trembled with excitement, cupped her cheeks with both hands, and asked again and again, "Are you really willing to marry me?" Lian'er, are you telling the truth? ”
"I ......" Shui Lian wanted to say that she was not worthy of him, she really didn't have the confidence to be his princess, but when she saw his eyes full of expectation, she couldn't refuse.
Shui Lian blushed and nodded, "If you are willing to ...... too"
"I'm willing, Lian'er, I'm willing to ......" Tianyin was excited like a child, picked up the water lotus and spun it, cheering loudly, "Great, Lian'er promised to marry me, I'm going to get married......"
The water lotus buried her head in Tianyin's neck, breathing in the faint fragrance of lotus flowers on his body, and secretly made up her mind that she would never let him down again in this life.
