Volume 1: Morning and Twilight Chapter 166 The Truth and Lies in a Thought
Seeing that Wen Yuan's expression was relaxed, King Dingnan ordered someone to quickly pull her away, "Quick, take the princess down." ”
But before he could reach the door, Wen Yuan's mood suddenly rose, and he ran to the bed and hugged his mother's corpse desperately, refusing to let go.
She looked at Izumi in despair, and the man knew at a glance what was going on in her heart, "Master...... I beg you, is there any way to save my mother, I beg you...... Master! ”
I had already guessed that Wen Yuan would beg him to resurrect Princess Dingnan, but Quan really couldn't help, "Ah Yuan......" He helped Wen Yuan up from the ground, "Life and death are the laws of nature, no one has the right to control it, since the princess has gone, let her go." ”
"I don't!" Wen Yuan stared at everyone present with a pair of scarlet eyes, "My mother is not dead!" She's just asleep, and I see which of you dares to touch her! ”
Seeing that she was frantically protecting Princess Dingnan behind her, Xuan Yuan really couldn't stand it, and knocked Wen Yuan unconscious from behind, "It's okay, you guys pretend to be buried." ”
He and Izumi took Wen Yuan away, but they just took her away from this place full of sorrow, "What to do now......
Wen Yuan, who was knocked unconscious, was still not honest in Xuan Yuan's arms at this time, and his expression writhed and looked very painful, "What's the matter, it's not honest when you fall asleep." ”
Izumi noticed that the birthmarks of withered vines were already growing on Wen Yuan's body, which was not yet obvious.
This is that the birthmark has completely detached itself from its original appearance, spreading out on her body like a giant tree with flowers and branches.
“……”
“……”
The two looked at each other and fell silent at the same time, and quickly carried her back to their room and laid an enchantment outside.
Izumi tore open the clothes on Wen Yuan's back and found that the birthmark was now fully grown, and even the vines on his arms had bloomed.
After all, he had never seen anything like this, and Quan could only suspect Wen Yuan's spiritual root, and he used his demonic power to probe Wen Yuan's spiritual root, but fortunately, the seal had not been lifted now...... Otherwise, the divine realm will definitely take advantage of the void to enter.
But what the hell is going on...... Quan couldn't understand it after thinking about it, and only used his own magic to hide all the birthmarks on Wen Yuan's body, "Don't let anyone with a heart see it." ”
On the day of Princess Dingnan's funeral, Wen Yuan cried so much that he couldn't breathe, desperately holding on to his mother's coffin to prevent people from carrying it away, "My mother is not dead......
Everyone saw that she was a little crazy, and Quan took Wen Yuan's hand from behind, "Ah Yuan, accept the reality, your mother can't come back...... Is it okay to let her be buried in the ground? ”
The people of the Wen family did not have a good impression of him or Xuan Yuan, and they believed that it was these monsters who brought Wen Yuan to the death, which caused the death of Princess Dingnan.
Knowing that he was not welcomed, Xuan Yuan hid outside the crowd to breathe.
only to find that a team of demon hunters was rushing towards them, Xuan Yuan immediately went back and explained the matter to Izumi, "A team of demon hunters? How many people are there? ”
"I've seen ten, maybe we'll come back later, or we'd better leave first?"
"What about Ah Yuan?" Izumi reluctantly looked at Wen Yuan, who was crying in the dark.
Xuan Yuan grabbed Wen Yuan's hand, "Ah Yuan, a large group of demon hunters are coming towards us, we must leave, go quickly." ”
After saying that, Xuan Yuan took Wen Yuan and Quan to teleport away from this place of right and wrong, and when he reached a safe place, Quan carved out the space, "From here, you will go to Feihua City, let's go, there will be a chance to come back to see your mother in the future." ”
The three of them were about to leave, but at some point, the group of demon hunters actually followed them to this place, and it seemed that there were masters in this group.
Izumi knew that it was useless to run to Flying Flower City at this time, because this group of people would inevitably follow them together.
He turned to look at the group of demon hunters, "You have followed us all the way, what advice do you have?" ”
"I didn't advise, but I was ordered to arrest you!" As they spoke, a group of people took a stance, standing in all directions and surrounding the three of them in the center.
Xuan Yuan only felt that they were really ridiculous, such a demon hunter could easily solve it even if he and Quan came to a hundred, let alone thirteen miscellaneous fish.
Wen Yuan, who was protected by the two of them, was suspicious in his heart, "Ordered? Whose orders are you? She stepped forward from behind, not daring to get too close to the group.
At this time, in their hearts, the woman in front of them was no longer the invulnerable Princess Sunyang, but a traitor who colluded with the monster, "There's no need to talk to you, a traitor, in short, we will take back the heads of the three of you today." ”
Wen Yuan inadvertently saw the token hanging behind the man, his face was gloomy, and even his voice became lower, "Blood Guard, you are sent by the emperor." ”
Her tone was affirmative rather than questioning, Wen Yuan just couldn't believe that the emperor, who had always been kind to him, would one day send his demon hunters to deal with him.
"Since you have found out, then you might as well tell you the facts, the emperor has never trusted you Dingnan Wangfu, and has always sent people to monitor your every move, accompanied by the king like a tiger, you don't really think that the emperor will ignore a younger brother who holds military power and is quite prestigious in the court, his favor and tolerance for you is nothing more than choking the throat of the king of Dingnan, because the emperor knows that the king of Dingnan cares about you the most."
I see, Wen Yuan suddenly realized, and looked at the demon hunters in front of him in despair, "So the real purpose of your coming today is to catch me colluding with the demon, so that the emperor can issue an order to eradicate the Dingnan Wangfu family, right?" ”
In the Dragon Kingdom, as long as it is related to the demon, it will not be able to escape the questioning of the family.
Sure enough, a person in a high position only has his own interests in front of him, and when his father was young, the emperor needed him to go to the battlefield and stabilize the morale of the army, so he naturally wanted to respect and love him.
But now that his father is old, he is no longer suitable for charging into battle, and the military power in his hands and the support of the old ministers in the court have made the emperor aware of the crisis.
It's too ridiculous, Wen Yuan thinks all this is really ridiculous, even if the puppet queen made by Youquan is bewitched by the pillow every day, it still can't completely defeat an emperor's care about the country.
Wen Yuan knew that he had reached the point of desperation, whether he followed them or let Quan kill all these demon hunters, the emperor's accountability for the Dingnan Mansion would continue, just because there was a traitor in the mansion who colluded with the monsters.
"Wen Yuan, you better go with us honestly, your collusion with the monster has become a fact, the whole world is not the king's land, you will be arrested wherever you flee."
Is it? Wherever you flee, you will be caught? Wen Yuan looked at the spring and slowly approached the group of demon hunters, "What if I don't go back with you?" ”
She is tempting, testing the bottom line of this group of demon hunters, and she is also testing the emperor's bottom line.
"If you don't go back, then your family will be imprisoned, and there is a great possibility that they will be beheaded." To be able to say such a thing must have been instructed by the emperor.
Wen Yuan was very disappointed in the man she had always trusted, "Okay, I'll go back with you, but as for them, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it." ”
After saying that, she pushed the two of them into the torn space, and she told the two of them to leave quickly with her mouth, because Wen Yuan knew the power of the Blood Guard, and Izumi and Xuan Yuan would be seriously injured even if they didn't die.
The space closed the moment they teleported away, and a group of people couldn't keep up if they wanted to, so they could only look at Wen Yuan with resentment, "Why did you let them go?!" ”
"What does it have to do with you, okay, take me away."
On the way back to the palace, those who couldn't see Wen Yuan on weekdays naturally wished that she would die early, but there were also many poor people who had received Wen Yuan's favor looking at her detained back with tears in their eyes.
"I said something was wrong with her a long time ago, but I didn't expect to collude with monsters, it's really shameless, it's a shame for us." Those people who couldn't get used to Wen Yuan were naturally trying their best to slander her now, "I really didn't expect that Ronghua and Wealth have everything, and I can't even think about it." ”
Some people wondered why Wen Yuan walked with the demon, "She's not a waste, do you think it's because she wants to cultivate?" ”
"Most likely, she doesn't have a master? Maybe that man is a youkai. ”
But those beggars who are helped by Wen Yuan on weekdays don't care about these, do they see less white eyes and see less darkness in the world? What is the difference between some people and demons when they are bad?
Wen Yuan was taken to the Mingde Palace, where the emperor was, and the man lost half of his former gentleness, his eyes were full of disgust and impatience, "Kneel." ”
Wen Yuan was kicked hard from behind, her knees hit the ground heavily, she buried her head in ignorance of the emperor, "Long live my emperor." ”
"You colluded with the demon clan, how do you want to explain it?"
The kneeling person of His Royal Highness did not have the slightest intention of defending himself, "Please treat my family well." If the emperor kills the army because of an unfilial daughter who has long broken off relations with the family, he is afraid that it will not be conducive to the emperor's prestige. ”
"......" The current Ninety-Five Venerable frowned and really thought about Wen Yuan's words.
Indeed, if the king of Dingnan is killed together, it will be unfavorable to the hearts of the people and the army.
But because of this, he hated and feared.
"So, don't you deny the fact that you colluded with the demon clan?" What the emperor wants to listen to is Wen Yuan personally admitting his relationship with the demon clan.
But Wen Yuan didn't follow his train of thought, "What's the use of what I said, the emperor's eyes can only see what he wants to see, I only learned today that everything in the past was just a joke." ”
She chattered about the man who held the power of life and death in the world, "Your Majesty, aren't you tired?" The calculating emperor calculated his siblings, and even his own juniors had to calculate. Wen Yuan smiled bitterly and stood up and straightened his back, "If it were me, you, would be very tired." ”
