The eve of the wedding
Mu Xiaoxiao glanced back at Chu Jiaojiao, whose face was a little wrong, thinking that she was still angry about what happened just now, so she smiled and said, "Miss Chu, I can't help it just now, next time, I will invite you to dinner." ”
Chu Jiaojiao glanced at her and turned her head disdainfully.
"Xiaoxiao!" Xiaoxiang ran over with a happy face, dressed in a white gauze robe. There was also a woman in her twenties behind her, dressed in a white priest's robe, her body was as cold as ice, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and her whole person was very cold
Xiaoxiang took her hand and said happily: "I thought you wouldn't come, thank you for coming." With that, he pulled her to the woman in the priest's robe: "Frost, this is a little one. Then he turned his head and said, "This is Frost, the current priest." ”
Mu Xiaoxiao found out that compared with two years ago, there are now many white-clothed women on Jiuju Mountain, the periphery is all guarded by men, and the inner hall is all women.
Hanshuang didn't speak, just looked at Mu Xiaoxiao coldly, looked up and down, waved his hand at a maid behind him, and turned around and entered the Nine-Fold Hall. Xiao Xiang took out a small jade pendant from the maid's hand, it was a white jade pendant, which was a round hollow inside, and a red tassel was hanging underneath.
"This is the rule of the Nine Mountains, and when you come, you have to take this with you. As he spoke, he helped her tie it around her waist.
Xiaoxiang seemed very happy and took her to the east courtyard, Mu Xiaoxiao knew that this was where the previous priests lived.
Xiaoxiang took out two sets of identical white nightdresses, and pulled Mu Xiaoxiao to the back room. As soon as she pushed the door open, Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned, this is not a house, but a very large stone carved pool, and there are wisps of mist rising in the pool inside, isn't this a hot spring?
As soon as Mu Xiaoxiao turned around, she saw Xiaoxiang entering the water naked, looked at her in a daze, and said with a smile: "Come in, wash together, I put honey and petals in it." As he spoke, he picked up a handful of red petals.
Mu Xiaoxiao remembered that in the past, in their previous lives, the two of them were in a northern city, and each time they opened a room, rubbed each other's backs in it, and took a bath, and those simple times would never come back. Now, even if she wants to get into the water. But I looked at Qianshu and Luoyun who were standing on the side, and they didn't move.
"Go down!" commanded Xiaoxiang.
The two lowered their heads and retreated, Mu Xiaoxiao thought about it, then generously took off his clothes and jumped in, although the temperature was a little hot, but it was exceptionally comfortable, Xiaoxiang took the handkerchief and said, "Come, I'll wipe it for you." ”
Mu Xiaoxiao turned around silently, and Xiaoxiang's soft hand stroked her back: "Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry." Her voice was low and soft, which made Mu Xiaoxiao's heart ache.
"Why do you apologize?" Mu Xiaoxiao turned away.
"If it weren't for me, you might still be living a good life in the modern age. Xiaoxiang is not the same as before, the sincerity on her face is not pretended.
"Are my parents not dead at all?" asked Mu Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiang didn't expect her to ask like this, and after thinking about it, she nodded: "That's right, I gave your father some money and sent your mother to the best nursing home, and now they must be doing well." ”
Mu Xiaoxiao's heart that had been hanging for a long time finally let go, and she said that Xiaoxiang couldn't be so ruthless, she wasn't that kind of person.
"But for the sacrifice, I'm sorry for you. Xiaoxiang said softly.
"I don't blame you for that, after all, you solved my parents' problems, although I have a little resentment, but this is also an experience, not everyone has the opportunity to go through this experience. Mu Xiaoxiao's heart has always been her parents, and now that she knows that her parents are safe, her resentment towards Xiaoxiang has decreased a lot.
"I told my uncle and aunt that you and I went abroad to study. Xiaoxiang continued to wipe her back.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned to look at her again: "Tell me, why did you come here?"
Xiaoxiang was very hesitant, she lowered her head and did not speak.
"You said I can only help you!" Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm not sure if you'll be here safely, but I'll sacrifice you anyway. She sighed.
Mu Xiaoxiao took the handkerchief in her hand and wiped her back.
"My mother and grandmother both died when they were thirty-two years old. Xiaoxiang lay on the edge of the pool: "There is a legend in our family, according to legend, a long time ago, my ancestor was a scholar, because he met a woman in the mountains to collect medicine, the woman was an elf, but the two still fell in love, the scholar took the woman home, who knew that he already had a wife and children at home, his wife was jealous, so he burned the body of the elf, the elf wailed in pain in the fire, the scholar felt guilty, and loved the elf, so he threw himself into the fire and set himself on fire. But after that, the man's wife and children, as long as they were his descendants, all women and men died at the age of thirty-two, and I was already twenty-eight when I offered the sacrifice. Xiaoxiang said calmly.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought of Gu Yue, and she didn't know why, she always felt that there was a certain connection between this matter.
"Then what does this era have to do with that incident?" asked Mu Xiaoxiao.
"The distant cousin of our village, the wizard mother-in-law, calculated that if she could honor the world in this era, she would be able to change the fate of their encounter in the next life. What I want to do now is to be the mother of the world. It's a pity that one of my history books, which recorded all the major events in this world, and I used it as a reference to predict the future, suddenly burned down three months ago. Xiaoxiang looked lost.
"How could it be burned?" Mu Xiaoxiao remembered that she had been hit by Chunhuan three months ago.
"It was burned by itself, and I still don't understand what it was about. Xiaoxiang turned around and looked at Mu Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao, you help me, you help me get this world, change my fate, change the future, and then we can go back together, okay?" she pleaded.
"Then you should choose His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why did you choose the Fifth Prince first?" Mu Xiaoxiao looked puzzled.
"What I see in the history books is that the five princes won the world, so I chose the five princes, and now all the favorable conditions are on the side of the five princes, I have no choice. Xiaoxiang's whole body was buried in the water.
Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated in her heart, it was not that she didn't want to help, after all, her parents were all arranged by Xiaoxiang, she didn't feel sorry for herself, but if she helped, she wouldn't do anything, just an ordinary woman, how could she help? Thinking of this, she suddenly thought of one thing.
"Xiangxiang, there is something I want to ask you, you have to tell me the truth," Mu Xiaoxiao looked serious.
You ask. Xiaoxiang looked at her.
"Did you 、、、、、、 you really kill someone?" asked Mu Xiaoxiao with the courage to ask.
Xiaoxiang was stunned and laughed again: "Hehe, I lied to you at that time, how can you believe it." After speaking, he gave her a blank look.
Listening to her words, Mu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, if that's the case, let's find a way together, so that you can not only honor the world, but also not harm other people's lives." ”
"Hmm. Xiaoxiang nodded.
"Who do you like?" Mu Xiaoxiao felt that if she really wanted to be a mother in the world, she still had to find someone she liked in order to be happy, so she still had to ask clearly to give herself a clear purpose.
"Actually, I liked Rong Qing at the beginning, but he was a priest, and we were doomed to have no results, so I chose the crown prince, but the history books say that the fifth prince became the emperor, so I can only marry him now. Xiaoxiang looked helpless.
Mu Xiaoxiao has some understanding, through the heroine written in the novel, what is a lifetime and a couple, what heroine likes, whoever likes her, no matter how bad it is, it is the final reunion after hardships. In fact, how can there be such a simple and beautiful thing in reality, even if a person is talented and smart, there will always be uncertain factors in it, and the reason why novels are novels is all based on the mood of an author, according to the direction of the script, people like them who do not have a script, the purpose of coming here is to let themselves survive. Xiaoxiang came with the intention of changing her future, how could she still have the heart to pretend to be these children's affections, she devoted all her energy to how to be a mother in the world.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought of the crown prince again, if Xiaoxiang was destined to marry the fifth prince, then the result must be that Gao Zhao failed and lost the throne. If Gao Zhao hadn't become the crown prince, what would have been his fate in the end? Would he be dead or alive? Thinking of Gao Zhao, Mu Xiaoxiao had a headache, for the people of the whole country, Gao Zhao would be a good emperor, Yun has a weak heart, and he is a little bad at words, such a white person, if he really becomes the emperor, will his powerful mother Guo Guifei interfere in the future affairs? or even listen to the government?
Mu Xiaoxiao has never liked to watch palace fighting dramas, but now she regrets it so much, if she watches more palace fighting dramas, will her brain be enough now?
If the five princes really became emperors, what would Gao Zhao do? Even if the five princes were willing to let Gao Zhao go, Guo Guifei would definitely not let him go.
It is impossible to ask Xiaoxiang not to marry the fifth prince now, because it is impossible for the prince to accept her again, tomorrow is the wedding date, and it will not work to change her mind, they are in a real feudal society, and if they don't get it right, they will lose their lives.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought about how many attention in her heart, and then how many she denied. This development of events made her heart faintly afraid, if there was a civil strife, the most hurt must be the soldiers and civilians, is it worth sacrificing the happiness of so many people for her own survival?
