"Sister Zhen Xun, why don't you take me away?" Ying'er raised her head, looked at Zhen Xun and said.

Zhen Xun used a handkerchief to sort out the corners of her eyes, and she felt indescribably distressed, and she didn't wait for her to ask what happened to Ying'er.

Gongzi Gao on the side knelt down and said, "Please think twice about the city lord." ”

Zhen Xun whispered to persuade Xu Laosi and Xuanyi to go out, closed the doors and windows, and then tidied up his clothes and sat down.

"Ying'er, are you already the city lord? What about not informing me and His Royal Highness King Cheng like this? Zhen Xun looked at Ying'er in surprise.

Ying'er straightened up, looked at Gongzi Gao who was kneeling on the ground, and whispered sadly: "Cousin, why are you ...... now?"

Gongzi Gao held the crown of flowers and branches that Ying'er had just removed with both hands, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look directly at the little girl he had grown up watching since he was a child: "Since the city lord is the lord of a city, he must know the truth of "the small is big, and be cautious". "Wearing this crown of flower branches, Ying'er, you are not only my sister alone, but also the master of the entire Panlong City.

"Shut up!" Ying'er shook off the crown of flower branches.

The crown of colorful flowers and branches fell heavily on the copper brick ground, making a dull sound, the vermilion cherry fruit was still dazzling, the slender white jade petals were shattered, and the phoenix bird made of golden silk seemed to be frightened, trembling its wings slightly, but still could not escape the luxurious crown.

Ying'er turned around and kicked down the gilded family wearing a phoenix tail robe, "For this robe, this crown, I envy the family's wives and widows, cannibalism, and can't even be the master of their own lives, what else do you say about the city lord!" “

Ying'er covered her face with her hands, her shoulders trembled, and when she looked up at Gongzi Gao again, her eyes were cold, and her lips were already dyed with a cold sneer: "Didn't my cousin tell me before, the way to be a king is nothing more than loving the people, but now that I am the lord of the city, what I do is something that reverses right and wrong, distorts good and evil?" ”

Ying'er was shaking her head and talking, but a tear had already passed by her curved lips, and the only pearl hairpin left between her temples was also shaking, and her backward steps became staggering.

"That day, A-Niang left for several days and did not come back, in my dream, I saw someone knocking down a stone pillar by the river, A-Niang she was crushed in the Hyun River by a stone pillar, she wanted to get up, but she couldn't move at all, I ...... I was right next to her, but I couldn't pull her, Ah Niang, she opened her mouth to call for help, but the muddy water poured into her mouth and nose, I also felt the suffocating muddy smell, the sand and gravel slipped into my nose, Ah Niang She was calling me, she was calling me at the time, but I was by her side. But she couldn't move, she could only watch her drown in the water......

Zhen Xun went up and helped Ying'er, who seemed to be about to fall, but Ying'er held Zhen Xun's hands, and her originally sneering face was already full of tears: "They said, I just had a nightmare, and A-Niang's death was just an accident." My mother-in-law didn't allow me to cry, and she said that if I wanted to sit in a seat that no one else could sit, I had to bear the pain that others couldn't bear. Sister, you are a goddess, have you also suffered greatly? ”

The long-lost mother passed away unexpectedly, Zhen Xun originally thought that the girl in front of him would throw herself into her arms and cry, and then beg her god to resurrect a person who had died, but she didn't expect Ying'er's last simple words to make her feel even more shocked, originally Zhen Xun had been suppressing herself in Ying'er's description of being present at the scene, trying not to let herself recall what happened before death, but the sealing of the previous memory seemed to have been corroded by something, and there was overwhelming pain in her left hand.

Zhen Xun felt that her body was gradually cold, just like she gradually lost her body temperature after soaking in the water that day, numbness replaced the severe pain, and with a sense of despair of loss, she looked at her left hand, which still existed, "Ying'er, can I help you take revenge?" Find out the murderer and pay for the killing. “

"I know who the mastermind is, she told me." Ying'er's eyes showed a kind of confusion, "But she said that she killed my aunt to pay for the lives of thousands of people in Panlong City." “

After the day of Liang Sheng's "accidental" death, the old city lord summoned her into his dormitory before she had time to wear linen and filial piety, and in the next dozens of days and nights, the drowning person was replaced by her, and on the day she was summoned by the old city lord, Ying'er knew that she had stepped into a turbulent river since she was born and could not cross it.

The mother-in-law said that when the Great Song was not yet established, the ancestors of Panlong City, like the merchants, were the descendants of Xuanniao, and later the Song people drove away Xuanniao, and Chifeng took the ancestors to Panlong City. The city lords of the past dynasties are all from the Xian family, because the city lords of the past generations have used their blood to worship, and exchanged the lives of their loved ones for the prosperity of the entire city.

The day before the old city lord ascended the throne, she only found out about it, so since the day she put on the crown of flower branches, she has been looking around for a way to let the Xian family ask Chifeng, she secretly helped the anti-Shang King Wen and handed him a secret method for forging weapons, hoping that when the Shang Dynasty was overthrown, the bird clan would weaken, and they could take the opportunity to get rid of Chifeng. However, when Chifeng was sealed according to the old city lord's plan, the citizens of Panlong City, who were not protected by Chifeng, lost their talent for casting bronze and struggled in the troubled times.

At that time, we all thought that after Chifeng was sealed, the curse of the Xian family disappeared, and Wen Zheng, who was the young city lord, was filmed by a man's rhetoric and left Panlong City, so I wanted to pass on the position of city lord to Liang Sheng, but I never thought that Liang Sheng found the strange stone that sealed Chifeng......

It was late at night, but Zhen Xun's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, and as soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Muru beside Ying'er hurriedly walking over with a box of things, and there was a familiar smell wafting from the box.

Zhen Xun followed Mo Nu to Ying'er's bedroom, there was still the crown of flower branches on the table on the side, and all the fragments of the white jade flower pieces were packed aside. This is the benzoin that the Xian family bought with a lot of money, I asked Muru to get you some? “

It turned out that she felt familiar with this fragrance, because the spice recipe was seven or eight points similar to the benzoin that Kang Hui gave her, Zhen Xun smiled and shook his head.

Ying'er also thought of something, and was amused by what she had just done: "Immortals won't be troubled by insomnia and dreams, right?" ”

"Immortals don't need to sleep, but they are not like mortals, they can often dream beautifully."

"When I was by His Royal Highness King Cheng's side before, he told me that the emperor's family has no family affection, but I didn't expect that our small Panlong City is the same, my mother-in-law said that the people's hearts are important, so she immediately held an enthronement ceremony for me, and A-Niang's funeral was also simplified, so I didn't have time to tell you and His Royal Highness King Cheng......" Ying'er sat on the bed and said.

Ying'er, who had faded into a gorgeous dress, looked like an ordinary cardamom girl at this time, Zhen Xun glanced at Ying'er's hand and there were still a few faint blood marks, which were about the flower branches when she knocked off the crown before, she said leisurely: "Do you want to meet King Cheng?" ”

Ying'er's eyes suddenly lit up, but in a blink of an eye, they dimmed again: "Forget it, I can't leave." ”

"Silly girl, have you forgotten that your sister is a fairy?" Zhen Xun scratched Ying'er's nose with his hand.

"Dreaming?" Ying'er asked curiously.

"Tuomeng needs a soul to leave the body, but the palace of Da Yue is protected by dragon qi, and ordinary souls can't get in, besides, your brother Cheng Wang can't sleep well these days. But I can shrink the ground into inches and send you to the gate of the palace. ”

Zhen Xun continued: "There is just one thing you need to remember, you have to grasp the time. Under the dragon aura, if you regard yourself as a visitor to another country, then you can stay in the palace for a while; If you think of yourself as a great person, you can stay in the palace for a moment; If you think of yourself as a close friend of the king, you can stay in the palace for a while. ”
