Chapter 9: Descendants

Cheng Fu came from behind, and there were only three of them in the room.

Hearing Cheng Fu's footsteps, the girl opened her eyes. Like Cheng Fu, she has brown eyes, but her eyes are weak. She glanced at Liu Mengjing, and there was a hint of doubt in her eyes, but she only stayed for a moment. When she looked at Cheng Fu, there was only joy left in her weak eyes. She held out her hand towards Cheng Fu.

Cheng Fu hurriedly walked in front of her and sat down on the edge of the bed. He took the girl's outstretched hand and placed his other hand lightly on her forehead, as if to take her temperature. Then, smiling, he stroked the girl's head and said, "You're much better." ”

This is the first time Liu Mengjin has seen this teenager smile. When he was with the girl in front of him, his eyes were no longer so flat, but like waves rolling. The tone in which he spoke to her was as gentle as a breeze blowing through the sprouts of spring.

The girl smiled and closed her eyes. Liu Mengjin felt that her smile was so weak.

After a moment, she opened her eyes again, looked at Liu Mengjing, and then at Cheng Fu, and blinked.

"She's the princess of Daqi." Cheng Fu Dao.

The girl frowned, a reproachful look in her eyes, and she took Cheng Fu's hand and wrote something on his palm with her fingers.

Cheng Fu shook his head helplessly and said, "Ling'er, you know that I will definitely go." ”

The girl glared at him fiercely. However, on her weak face, there was really no trace of viciousness.

Cheng Fu touched her head and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely cure your illness." With that, he stood up and walked towards the table, he picked up a crystal clear knife from the table, walked to Liu Mengjing's side, and said, "I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness the Princess." He didn't do it directly, he was asking for Liu Mengjin's consent.

Liu Mengjin nodded slightly nervously.

"Please reach out." Cheng Fu Dao.

Liu Mengjin stretched out his right hand. Cheng Fu used a knife to cut a hole in her fingertips, and then used a clean cup under her finger to let the blood from the wound drip into the cup.

Liu Mengjing watched her blood drip into the cup, and strangely, she didn't feel pain.

"This is the Green Crystal Blade, and the person who produces the wound will not feel pain." Cheng Fu Dao.

Liu Mengjin knew that this dagger was often used to operate on the most noble patients in the top hospitals in the capital and in the region. But she never saw it, because she never had the opportunity to go to the hospital, nor did she have the opportunity to go to many other places. As a princess, the Rose Palace in Shenyang City is where she spends most of her time.

Gradually, the little cup was filled with the princess's blood. Cheng Fu took out a small bandage from the table cabinet, wrapped it around Liu Mengjing's injured finger, and said to her, "Thank you." Rest here tonight, and I'll send you out tomorrow. ”

With that, the door opened, and an old man with a white beard walked in. He has a pair of dark eyes, a hooked nose, and although he is old, his handsome face and tall posture can still be seen.

"Uncle Cheng, please." Cheng Fu Dao.

The old man nodded and said to Liu Mengjing, "Princess, please come here." ”

Liu Mengjin followed the old man and walked out.

Cheng Fu came to the girl's bed and handed the cup containing the blood of the princess of the ancient gods to the girl.

The girl couldn't sit up, so Cheng Fu slowly fed her the cup.

"Rest well, Ling'er, you'll be fine." Cheng Fu said.

The girl Chong Chengfu smiled slightly.

Night.

Liu Mengzhen lay on the bed, looking at the stars outside the window, unable to sleep. She stood up, put on her clothes, walked to the door, hesitated, and pushed the door open.

The night here is quiet. She thought, unlike the bustling Shenyang City, where the lights are bright at night, she stood on the high place of the Rose Palace and looked from afar, although she couldn't hear the sound, but she could see the flowers and wine in Shenyang City, restaurants everywhere, the lights of the night market, the city never rested.

Cheng Fu arranged a separate house for Liu Mengjin, close to his own residence, in a village. Different from Liu Mengjing's imagination, there is no camp of the mountain king, no groups of enchanting wives and concubines, no barbaric and violent bandits and rough men. It's an ordinary little village, but deep in the woods.

She looked up and saw a sky full of stars. In such a village, she developed a strange feeling, as if the sky here was closer to her, and she could touch the stars in the night sky as long as she stood on tiptoe.

Maybe it's just an illusion. In the Palace of Roses, she thought, even the stars were far away.

She walked quietly, the rest of the house was lit up, and she was probably the only one hanging out at night.

The bandits didn't seem to be worried about her escaping, or Cheng Fu didn't care if she would escape on her own, and didn't give her any restrictions. may know that she can't find her way out at all, or it may be because even if she does, she can't get out of this forest without the protection of others. The reason why she was blindfolded when she came in was because she was afraid that in the future she would show the way to the soldiers who came to attack the village. Cheng Fu didn't want anyone to know where he lived.

She walked and walked, and she didn't know where she went, she looked at the stars in the sky, stopped, just looked at the sky, and her thoughts drifted to Shenyang City with the breeze, and to the boy who always doted on her......

With a squeak, the door of the house behind Liu Mengjin opened.

When she turned around, she saw a girl coming out of it, the same girl she had seen lying on the bed during the day.

By the light of the moon, she could see the girl's face clearly, not as pale as it had been during the day, but faintly bloody. At this time, she was able to get out of bed and walk on her own, maybe it was really Princess Daqi's blood of the junction that played a role.

The girl saw Liu Mengjing and smiled at her. Liu Mengjin also subconsciously returned with an elegant and beautiful smile like a noble lady.

The girl probably hadn't walked for a long time, and she walked very seriously and heavily. She came to Liu Mengjing's side and sat on the steps in front of the door. Liu Mengjin also sat down beside her.

The girl put her hands on her cheeks and looked at the sky.

Liu Mengzhen looked at her and felt that she was about the same age as herself, but her eyes seemed to have experienced a lot, and there was no trace of girlish childishness. Her eyes are very similar to Cheng Fu.

The girl looked at Liu Mengzhen with a smile, pointed to her mouth, and shook her head again.

Liu Mengjing understood at once, the girl couldn't speak. No wonder she didn't say a word when she saw Cheng Fu today.

The girl took Liu Mengjing's hand and wrote something in her hand with her fingers.

The two girls' hands touched each other, the same white, the same immature, but the girl's hands were much colder than Liu Mengjing's.

Liu Mengjin looked at the words she wrote in her hand seriously, that was - thank you.

Liu Mengjin smiled faintly.

The girl wrote again: What's your name.

Liu Mengzhen said: "My surname is Liu, and my name is Mengjing." ”

The girl nodded, then wrote a few words in Liu Mengjing's hand, and then pointed to herself.

She wrote her own name, and then Liu Mengjin was a little surprised. Not because of her name, but because of her surname, which was a surname that was forbidden in Da Yu and a surname that should have been extinct on this continent a long time ago - Dugu.

The girl's name is Dugu Jingling.

Dugu is the national surname of the long-extinct Great Western Kingdom. The Great Western Kingdom was once a country located between Jiangzhou and Yezhou, which was destroyed by Emperor Xie, the previous emperor of the Yu Dynasty, and was a feud with the Yu Dynasty. Emperor Xie once ordered the slaughter of all people surnamed Dugu in Daxi, and resolutely did not allow anyone with this surname in Daxi, but anyone who found it would be killed.

However, it has been a hundred years since Emperor Xie's reign, and almost no one has mentioned this old matter again, and several emperors of the Qi Dynasty have not mentioned this matter again.

The girl seemed to be too innocent, too trusting the princess in front of her, and told her such an important matter directly.

Maybe it's because she's too lonely, and she wants to make friends with the girl in front of her who is close in age, and it's important for friends to know each other's real names. Maybe in her eyes, what is the bloody feud in the past compared to the friendship in front of her?

Cheng Fu naturally does not have the surname Cheng, but Dugu Fu, a descendant of the royal family of the Great Western Kingdom.

Liu Mengjin looked at Dugu Jingling who was smiling and looking at her, at this moment there was only innocence and kindness in her eyes, and Liu Mengjing did not have any guard against her.

Under the moonlight, two beautiful and moving girls, one speaking, the other writing, chatted with each other.

Dugu Jingling wrote that Dugu Fu was his elder brother, and the person she called Uncle Cheng was called Baili City. When the Great Western Kingdom was still alive, Baili Xin was the important minister of the last emperor, and Baili Cheng was his descendant. The Baili family is loyal and conscientious to the Dugu royal family, and even if the country is gone, they always take care of the descendants of the Dugu family.

Dugu Jingling wrote that his brother Dugu Fu has been very fond of her since she can remember, and he was very naughty when he was a child, always like to be naughty everywhere, no matter what new things he does, he will always confirm his safety on the side, and she is even more unscrupulous because of her brother's side. Writing and writing, Dugu Jingling couldn't help but smile happily. Liu Mengjin looked at her and couldn't help but think of her brother who was far away in Hanbei.

Dugu Jingling continued to write, but unfortunately he had a strange disease since he was born, Uncle and brother Bailicheng went to many places and found many famous doctors in Da Ying, but none of them knew the way to heal. Dugu Jingling's body became weaker and weaker because of this disease, and one day, he suddenly lost the ability to speak. On that day, Dugufu cried for a long time. It was the first time Dugu Jingling saw her brother cry when she grew up, and in her impression, her brother has always stood up to the sky, and nothing will overwhelm him......

A trace of sadness suddenly flashed in Dugu Jingling's eyes, but then disappeared again. She wrote a sentence in Liu Mengjing's palm, and Liu Mengjing's heart trembled slightly. Then she wrote with a smile: Ten million...... Don't give ...... Brother said.

Liu Mengjing smiled and nodded. This is a tacit understanding between two girls.

The moonlight was hazy, covering the two girls with a faint layer of silver-gray, like two fairies under the moon.
