11 Choice for the throne

And when Jielan woke up from a drowsy, she found that she was actually in a dungeon, she looked around, except for the wall, except for the wet straw, there was nothing else, her head was still a little dizzy, and she couldn't remember the events of last night in a daze, obviously because of the other party's psychedelic magic, but she was still able to figure out the ins and outs of the matter sporadically.

She remembered that when she was in the room, she suddenly saw Qing Zhan, so she followed, but later found out that this man was not Qing Zhan at all, but she was still fainted by the other party, and then woke up and came here. Jielan was suddenly a little scared, not knowing who was going to do this, and what was the purpose of doing this? Even if the people of Wangcheng already knew that Qing Zhan was injured by herself, then they should have sent officers and soldiers to arrest her, instead of letting someone who knew illusion tricks lock her up here by stunning her, Jielan thought, she must have been captured by someone, and what was the purpose of this person to arrest herself? It must have something to do with her identity, but she doesn't know if she is Jielan, because Chengfeng doesn't want to tell her at all.

When Jielan thought of these things, she suddenly thought of her sun and moon spirit stone, she was busy touching her neck, and this touch was startled, because her bead chain was gone, she couldn't lose it, so she could only take away her own sun and moon bead chain, Jielan was angry and anxious, that thing was her mother's relic, and last night the woman also told her to take care of this thing, but she lost it in a blink of an eye, how could she not be sad?

Jielan suddenly became scared, she didn't know what she should do? And who is taking him captive, and why? Although Jielan didn't understand, she also knew that she couldn't just sit still, she shouted outside the prison: "Come on, let me out, let me out, why are you holding me and letting me out." ”

She screamed for a long time, and then she saw a prison guard walk in, although the man looked thin, but his temper was not small, he slapped the door fiercely, and said angrily, "What are you yelling at?" If you dare to yell loudly, I'm not kind to you. ”

"Who the hell are you? Whoever locked me in, let me out. Jielan shouted angrily.

"Get out?" The man suddenly sneered, he pointed towards the gloomy cell, but saw that under those damp straws, all were covered with white bones, and those bones looked like human bones, Jielan looked at it, how could she not feel frightened, a cool air hit her back, and the man continued: "See, no one who enters here will get out alive, so you better be honest and don't make a big noise, otherwise before you die, if you bother me to pull out a layer of your skin, it will really be bearable for you." ”

Jielan's hands were trembling, she didn't know if she was afraid or afraid of her unpredictable fate, she took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Who is your master?" Tell him to come to me. ”

"Master? The people who come here, all want to see the master, they all want to beg the master to spare their lives, but the master never comes here, I have been here for ten years, and I haven't seen the master, so don't dream, it's better to wait for death early! After finishing talking about this prison, he glared at Jielan, and was about to go back to the guard room to continue drinking, but he didn't want to grind with Jielan.

However, when he had just entered the guard's room, he saw a beautiful woman in a yellow dress walking down the dusty stone staircase, and as soon as she came, a faint fragrance came to her nose, and the woman's eyes were proud, and the corners of her mouth were smiling, and she looked majestic, and she was followed by two maids, who walked down, and the three guards of the cell door were stunned.

And this person is the princess Nanrong who went to the medicine village to look for Chengfeng, the cell boss may have never seen Nanrong, so he doesn't know her identity, and he can't believe that there are any noble people here, and after he came to his senses, he asked, "What are you doing?" No outsiders are allowed here. ”

When the maid saw that the man was so rude, she rebuked, "Bastard, is this what you should say to the princess?" When you see the princess, you don't want to live if you don't want to prostrate and salute quickly, but you dare to stand? ”

Nan Rong listened to the maid's lecture to these jailers, so he raised his hand to signal the maid not to say any more, the maid hurriedly promised, and did not dare to reprimand again, Nan Rong said to the cell head who had fallen to his knees and trembled: "Get up, this princess is going to see a prisoner who was only escorted in last night, you lead me over." ”

The cell boss turned pale, got up from the ground, trembled and kept answering, and bowed his back to lead the princess to see Jielan.

When Jielan saw Nanrong appear in front of her, she felt very shocked, she didn't expect that the person who arrested her was actually her, once she thought she was a good person, it seems that Chengfeng is right, in this royal city, for the sake of power, it will only be more ruthless than the struggle between cities and counties, and where is there a benevolent person, she asked angrily: "It turned out to be you?" Why?"

Nanrong looked at Jielan who was so haggard, her face became sad, she approached Jielan, and said, "Miss Jielan, don't get me wrong, I didn't catch you, I just accidentally knew that someone had arrested you, so I came down to take a look, I didn't expect it to be you?" ”

Hearing her explanation, Jielan didn't know whether to believe it or not, she frowned deeply, and asked cautiously, "It's not you?" So who is it? ”

"Although it's not me, but I also feel sorry, because the person who captured you is actually my father, and this princess can't get rid of it, but I don't approve of my father doing this, so I'm here to secretly let you out." Nanrong's words were so sincere that Jielan couldn't hear that she was lying, and if she was lying, how could she truthfully say that the person who captured her was her father?

"Why did your father arrest me?" Jielan still couldn't help but ask.

"Don't you really know why? Or are you playing dumb? Nanrong looked at Jielan with a puzzled face, not believing that she really didn't know the truth of the matter.

"If I knew, how could I ask you? Why do you always like to target me, is it because I'm a blood fiend? Is it because I am to you what Chengfeng is to you, and I have the same value as I am to you? That's all Jielan could guess, and she really couldn't think of any other reason.

"Not because you're a Blood Fiend, but because of another identity." Nan Rong said unabashedly.

"Another identity?" Jielan was confused, and even more incomprehensible, "What identity?" ”

Nanrong paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and asked, "Do you know what my identity is?" ”

Jielan remembered that Chengfeng had told her about her origin in detail, so she replied according to her memory: "You are the daughter of King Belon and the supreme princess of the Blood Ying Kingdom, may I ask what this has to do with me." ”

"Then you're just like me." Nanrong spoke earnestly, but also resolutely.

When Jielan heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and she didn't speak for a long time, and then she suddenly laughed, "It's ridiculous, am I a princess?" Your joke is really not good at all, even if you don't want to say it, you don't have to tease me like that. Although Jielan was shocked, she also felt that this was impossible, she was obviously the daughter of Shiluo Village, her mother's name was Xiao Yue, she was an ordinary woman, and she grew up in the village since she was a child, how could she become a princess?

"I'm not in the mood to laugh with you, I just overheard it from my father, I risked so much to save you, you didn't believe what I said, I knew it was like this, I wouldn't have come." As soon as Princess Nanrong finished speaking, she was about to leave, but Jielan hurriedly pulled her and asked, "Am I really a princess?" But isn't that ridiculous? How could I be a princess? ”

Nanrong saw that she believed her words a little, so she took back the foot that stepped out, and replied: "Because your mother is actually the king today, and you can say that she is also my imperial sister, although I am a little uncomfortable with the sister who suddenly appeared, but you are my sister after all, aren't you?" ”

Jielan was completely stunned, not knowing what was going on, how did her mother become the king today, her mother had obviously passed away, but how could it be?

"How is that possible? Isn't it ridiculous that my mother is just an ordinary woman in the village, she can only weave clothes, cook and eliminate demons, how can she become a king? ”

"Your mother suddenly left the royal court back then, and she came out of hiding, and the people in the royal court didn't know what was going on, and later learned that the king had smuggled away with the original general, and then gave birth to you, and only now did she return to the royal court." Nan Rong told Jielan the cause and effect of the story truthfully.

Jielan was shocked, she really couldn't believe that all this was true, her mother was actually the king, and she was still alive, so Qing Zhan didn't kill my mother at all, the mother who died in front of her that night was the same as Qingmeng said, just a phantom, why did it become like this, why did everyone deceive themselves, why was she kept in the dark like a fool. Jielan, who heard such shocking news, couldn't hold herself anymore, and her paralyzed body collapsed, making Jielan feel powerless to support, and even breathing felt so difficult.

Nanrong saw her painful appearance, so she comforted: "My sister knows that she is the daughter of the king, and you should be happy as a princess, why be so sad?" ”

Jielan smiled sadly and said, "Happy? Why am I happy? From beginning to end I felt that I was a fool, a complete fool, why didn't they tell me, let me be a fool for eighteen years, and everything I did before now seems so ridiculous, in order to save Youyun, but it turns out that she has already escaped, in order to avenge her mother, it turns out that she is the king, so why did I come to this royal city? Jielan was already a little broken, feeling that she was being teased by her dearest and most loved person, how could she not be angry and sad.

Nan Rong said indifferently: "Because they all want you to be the next king, don't you know?" ”

Another shocking news, Jielan looked at Nanrong in a daze, unable to believe what she had heard, "The throne passed to me?" What are you talking about? ”

"Since the king has made a big mistake and left the throne vacant in the royal city for nearly twenty years, so he has committed the royal decree, and naturally needs to take the initiative to abdicate, so before abdicating, the next person must be selected, in this royal court, only me and Kenji can have the qualifications to become the king, but you have returned to the royal court, so since you have the blood of the king in your body, then you are also qualified to be elected as the king, I said so, sister, you should understand!"

Jie Lanmu Ran was there, maybe she had heard too much shocking news today, which made her a little difficult to adapt, she only said: "Your Majesty? I never wanted to be a king, isn't that ridiculous? I'm just a girl who grew up in a mountain village, how can I be a king, and what qualifications do I have to be this king? ”

When Nanrong heard Jielan say this, she held her hand and asked, "Sister really doesn't want to be the king?" You must know that when you sit on the throne, you have supreme rights, which many people can't dream of. ”

"For you, it may be what you desire, but for me, any throne is a vain, what is the use of me?" Jielan retorted.

Nanrong heard Jielan say this, a look of regret appeared on her face, she held Jielan's hand, and said: "Actually, I also want to be like my sister, I don't want to be this king, and I want to live a free life like my sister, but I can't, as a princess, I have been dealing with government affairs since I was a child, and there are countless subjects who rely on me, if I let it go, then what should they do, what should I do in this bloody world, originally I expected my sister to ascend to the throne, then I can assist you in my life, but now, hey, Brother Xianzhi is too young and doesn't understand the affairs of the court, if you also leave, I'm afraid that no one in this world will provoke it, seeing the mutiny in the city and county, there may be another holy war, at this time, if there is a problem with the throne, then the blood Ying country may be in crisis. ”
