I don't know what happened to me when I heard the news, I should have been happy for her, but I didn't know why I was angry.

It wasn't like me at all, and I didn't even know what was going on in my mind at the time. In short, at that time, I completely lost the tranquility and indifference when playing the piano, and all that swirled in my heart was fanatical anger.

I comforted her and sent her back to the inn where she was staying as usual. But this time it was a little different, and my mind kept echoing what she said.

Yes, she is going to be chosen to be a princess. She will live a life of fine clothes and food, and she will enjoy the treatment of one person and ten thousand people. She will have a husband who will dominate the world, and she will definitely live happily in the future, and she will not have to live a hard life like this anymore, I should be happy for her.

I can't live without her, she's been encouraging me for more than two years, and she's given me the motivation to keep going.

She also accompanied me during my most difficult time, and I have never eaten anything more delicious than the steamed buns I ate that day.

But she is going to be a princess, and she will definitely be high in the future. She no longer had to earn the meager perks of dancing lyrics for the aristocracy like this, and I still had to survive by playing for the nobility.

Maybe she will still be her or me in the future, but it will be difficult for me to see her! Or maybe after she enters the deep palace, she will forget me, forget the memory of living in the ruined temple, and we may become passers-by from now on.

The thought of this makes my heart ache. Even though I knew it might be a good thing for her, I couldn't be happy.

And she seemed to cry when she told me about it, and I knew she wasn't happy about it.

I don't know why, but I had never drunk before, but I drank so much that I couldn't count it that night.

But I really couldn't drink it, because I remember that after a few more bowls I didn't know anything. Can't remember what you did, or what you said?

I only vaguely remember that I seemed to have bought a sword, and then walked the way I normally went home.

I only know that the road is very unfamiliar, but I always remember the end of the road. It was a splendid building, much more luxurious than the mansions of the aristocracy.

I don't remember anything about what happened after that, except that when I woke up, I was chained in my cell.

I instantly realized that I was being imprisoned: "Let me out! I did something wrong, why do you want to arrest me!"

I yelled loudly, after all, when I woke up, I realized that I was in a cell very different.

But instead of an answer, my shouts got me a whip. The jailer said very fiercely: "You kid is good! Even the prince dares to assassinate you, and he dares to ask why we are holding you, but it just so happens that the whip of the young master has something to answer you." ”

With that, the jailer whipped me again, and it hurt me a lot, but I was thinking about something else.

"What? you say that I murdered the prince, this is impossible, I have never held a knife in my life, how can I dare to murder him?"

But the jailer did not answer me directly, but threw a bloody sword in front of me: "Then I ask you, what is this?"

"I don't know. "My head hurts a little when I look at this sword, but I'm sure I'm not familiar with it.

"I don't know! I'm still pretending, it seems that if I don't give you something powerful, you won't know the truth!" he gave me a few more whips.

"But I was really drunk last night, and I really don't know what I did!" I asked what was in my heart for fear of being whipped again.

"Okay then! You're going to be executed anyway, so I'll let you die a clear death! I have to say, you're still the most powerful person I've ever met. actually dared to go to the place where the prince lived alone, and shouted that he wanted to kill the second prince as he walked. In the end, he actually killed the eldest prince!"

Speaking of this, the jailer laughed: "What's even more ridiculous is that you are still because of a woman, who do you think you are!

"Don't change his ink, take him to the prison car, there is only one hour before his death. If we go late, we won't be able to run away when the second prince is angry. Then another jailer approached.

Then they opened the door of my cell and put me in the prison cart with my hands on my hands and chains on my feet.

There were many onlookers watching me along the way, but they all had disdainful eyes, as if I had done something hurtful and unreasonable, and it was a matter of course to be arrested.

"Look at him, he was still playing in the nobleman's mansion the day before yesterday, and today he will become a prisoner. I'll just say! Some people who rely on luck are not good people after all. ”

"Yes, yes! For the sake of a woman, he did not hesitate to commit treason to assassinate the prince, this kind of person should be killed!"

"He's so ruthless, I think the woman he likes must not be a good person! I really don't know what that slut has gotten **** luck to get the favor of the second prince, why don't I have such good luck!"

"I guess it's because sluts have cheap lives!"

The road was full of insults at me, but I didn't care about it, after all, I was already a dying man, and I accepted my fate. But it seems that because of me, I seem to be dragging her down.

Finally, amid the insults of the crowd, I arrived at the execution ground. Sure enough, as the jailer said, the second prince was already waiting here. However, judging by the expression on his face, he did not seem to be angry at his brother's death, on the contrary, he looked a little happy.

When the jailers escorted me to him, he motioned for the jailers to push me down.

When everyone around him was far away, he spoke, in a very low voice that only the two of us could hear.

"Do you think you can kill the god of war who has led the army for many years with your own right?" he said contemptuously.

I understand the meaning of his words, the eldest prince has led troops to garrison the border all the year round, and his martial arts are very strong, and when he said this, I suddenly remembered, it seems that even if I am drunk, I don't have the ability to kill him.

I was very excited: "Qin is only a literati, so naturally he can't kill him." ”

"Even if you're still a little self-aware, not too stupid, it's true that you didn't kill my brother. The second prince said this, and his voice was a little low: "In fact, I sent someone to kill him!"

"But, since Your Highness knows that I didn't kill him, why do you treat me like this?" I was a little scared in my heart, and I seemed to be involved in the conspiracy of the royal family to seize power.

"I just said you weren't stupid, and now you're stupid again. If the assassination of my brother is revealed, do you think I will succeed to the throne? So I would like to thank you for coming to our house last night, otherwise I would really not be able to find a scapegoat. He laughed horribly.

"But why does it have to be me?"

"Because she refused to be my princess for you, you know, if you don't die, she can't die at all, so you can go on the road with peace of mind!" After speaking, the second prince laughed wildly.

I still wanted to say something, but he didn't give me a chance anymore: "The interrogation is over, he confessed the fact of killing my imperial brother, and executed in time!"

With that, a group of soldiers dragged me to the guillotine and gagged me with something to prevent me from speaking.

Just as the jailer was about to drop the knife, she appeared, but she was not the same as usual.

She didn't tie her hairpin in her hair today, but aimed its tip at her neck: "Let him go, otherwise I won't be your princess if I die!"

I've never seen her speak so resolutely, especially since the person in front of her is the Second Prince, the future emperor of the Tianyang Kingdom.

The second prince was a little afraid: "Don't! Don't do this, you put down the hairpin first." ”

"Impossible! If you want him to die, then I'll die with him. "I don't know why she said that, but I don't think it's worth it for her to die for me, but my mouth can't speak.

"Okay, I won't kill him, but you promise me to be my princess?" The second prince was really a little scared, because the hairpin was leaned a little closer to her neck by her, and it was about to get close to the flesh.

"I promise you, but you have to release him first!"

"Someone is here to untie him and send him out of the city!"

After he finished speaking, several soldiers unshackled my hands and feet, and I wanted to go back and say a few words, but I was pressed away by the soldiers.

But the words of the second prince still counted, and the soldiers escorted me out of the city and let me go, but I was no longer allowed to go near the royal city.
