Chapter 52: Stand-ins
You Zhiqi's heart was sour, and he didn't say anything along the way, but he followed her closely.
It wasn't until he returned to the Yiling Hall that You Zhiqi asked the words that had been held in his heart for a long time: "Why didn't you tell me these earlier?" ”
"Because the city lord once said that Gongzi just wants to find a stand-in to replace Hua Lingyue, the stand-in cannot have feelings, it is best to be a stand-in like a wooden puppet, as long as you are obedient and sensible, it is enough."
After that, Hua Lingyue knelt down like a child who had done something wrong, and buried her head very low.
No matter whether You Zhiqi was holding or helping, she refused to get up.
There was really no way, so he could only ask Hua Lingyue to serve tea in the name of thirst.
Sure enough, as soon as she heard that Gongzi was thirsty, Hua Lingyue stood up without thinking about it, and did not forget to ask Gongzi whether he wanted to drink Qimen black tea or Junshan Yinzhen today.
Turning his head to look at her, You Zhiqi said seriously: "From now on, I will give you back my freedom." You can do whatever you want, eat or play as you please, and never have to ask me again. ”
The teacup shattered the ground, and before the person shook his head, tears had already burst out of his eyes.
seemed to have expected such a picture for a long time, You Zhiqi patiently explained to her that he just hoped that she could become an independent individual.
Hua Lingyue staggered towards him, and You Zhiqi deliberately dodged to the side, causing her to slip and sob, which was unstable, followed by sobs.
You Zhiqi, who seems to be watching coldly, is actually distressed.
But he clearly told himself that he must make a decision today, even if she hates herself for the rest of her life.
Hua Lingyue, who was paralyzed on the ground, buried her head in her knees and cried: "Childe, what do you mean? Are you trying to drive me away? Am I doing something wrong? ”
"It's not you who is wrong, it's me. I shouldn't have rushed to the Sleepless City for my own selfishness, and I shouldn't have asked him to make you. ”
His voice was as deep and nice as ever.
Hua Lingyue looked at him stunned, and her heart seemed to be torn open.
In the Sleepless City 10,000 years ago, Le Zhengjiao took a drop of You Zhiqi's blood and injected it into the body of the puppet that had just been made, and since then, this puppet has been alive.
The young and beautiful girl, under the guidance of Le Zhengjiao, finally came to the master.
The overjoyed You Zhiqi immediately signed the contract and couldn't wait to bring the live puppet home. For the ignorant Hua Lingyue, her life was already doomed from the first time she saw You Zhiqi.
She never expected this situation today, she thought that she would be by her side for the rest of her life.
"Childe, don't you really want to be happy?"
At this moment, no one could understand her helplessness and fear.
You Zhiqi staggered down, pressed the back of his hand against Hua Lingyue's face, and smiled bitterly: "What I want...... It wasn't you all the time. ”
Because of his words, Hua Lingyue's heart quickly fell into the ice cellar, and her hot heart was instantly wrapped in ice.
In the eyes of others, they see her as the future mistress of Chaoyang Palace!
Trembling and holding You Zhiqi's hand, Hua Lingyue retracted the grievances in her eyes, trying to restrain her emotions and not let it explode.
Not long after, she took it upon herself to get into You Zhiqi's arms.
The other hand slowly stretched out towards the fragment of the teacup, she was going to be with this cruel world, she wanted You Zhiqi to remember herself forever.
"You dare!"
You Zhiqi, who saw her intentions, shook these two words coldly, and then used a spell to restore the teacup.
This move finally alleviated the feeling of depression in Hua Lingyue's heart.
When she knew that Childe still cared about herself, she was very happy, even if he had said ruthless and unrighteous words not long ago, he was forgiven at this moment.
But she didn't know how tormented her son-in-law was.
You Zhiqi quickly removed the veil from her face, and Hua Lingyue only cared about wanting to stay, completely unaware of Childe's abnormality.
After sighing, You Zhiqi reminded her that she no longer had any feelings for Hua Lingyue, and naturally she no longer needed any stand-in.
The reason why he dared to say it so bluntly was that he really didn't want to continue to delay Hua Lingyue.
At this time, Hua Lingyue naively thought that Gongzi was disgusted with this face that was the same as Hua Lingyue's, and immediately expressed his willingness to disfigure.
You Zhiqi: "...... What do you have to say for you to understand? I want to give you back your freedom because I want you to be your true self. ”
Hua Lingyue, who finally calmed down, relapsed again, and tears "fluttered" and fell, "If I were an ordinary person in the crowd, A, B, C, and D, would Childe still drive me away?" ”
You Zhiqi pushed her away from his arms and didn't speak.
Hua Lingyue: "If I have a heart, I will definitely take it out and show it to you." ”
You Zhiqi: "......"
Hua Lingyue took advantage of the situation and grabbed the corner of his clothes, "In this life, Lingyue only has a son......
What you regret is my faith and my love.
You Zhiqi glanced at her helplessly, "No matter what I say, you won't listen to it." Then let's talk to Deng Yinni! At the very least, replace your face first. ”
Yes, it is imperative to replace her face.
In this way, she can survive under the sun and have the opportunity to reach more people.
After a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not "empathize and say goodbye".
You say you love apples because you haven't eaten peaches.
After sending Hua Lingyue, he had time to meet with Hua Jianao, and learned from him that the female ghost harmed people, which made the residents of the town panic and not at peace.
Three brides were killed in succession, all of whom died violently at dusk.
Therefore, as soon as it is dusk, the family closes their doors and does not dare to prepare for happy events, for fear that if they are not careful, they will be harmed by female ghosts.
After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, You Zhiqi asked, "Is the reason why Hua Shaoxia appeared in Yuxuan Town to capture the female ghost?" Have you ever fought it? ”
Hua Jian Ao slowly lowered his eyelids, and sighed continuously, "I don't dare to deceive the Dragon King, although I have been squatting for a few days, I have never met this female ghost." I only know that it is very harmful, but I don't know where it is. ”
After a while, he added with regret: "Sect Master Liu has already sent me back to the Flame Gate many times, and after I leave, I hope that Lord Dragon King can send someone to clean it up." ”
"What if I don't?" You Zhiqi quipped.
Hanama slowly lowered his eyelids: "Then, I'm afraid I have to wonder if there will always be evil forces in this world." ”
Anyone who is not a fool can hear that there is something in his words, and on the surface he is talking about a female ghost, but in fact, the evil force in his mouth refers to Liu Hanzhi's father and son.
Hua Jian Ao is not greedy for the position of the sect master, but is unwilling to live under villains like Liu Hanzhi.
