Chapter 108: Imperial Capital This is a false proposition
If time could be rewinded, this is a false proposition.
Lance sat by the window, half-leaning on the hollowed-out high back of the high-backed wooden chair, watching the white flowing veil playfully curl his legs and obscure the tips of his shoes. The hesitation before coming today continued to spread in his psyche, drifting like these lights and shadows.
Sunshadow sunk into a large blue pillow, flipping through a book in his hand, quietly waiting for Lance's silence.
How long does it take for a person to recall, those moments of beauty, those unforgettable moments that cannot be retained. A quarter of an hour, a day, a year, or no matter how long it lasts, until the end of life?
Peng Xiu, who was on the side, silently peeled the apple in his hand, cut the apple into small pieces, and handed it to Sun Ying slowly.
"I didn't know there was a diary. Both of them even wrote. There are so many things I don't know. Lance finally spoke.
"There should be a third diary, in Carmel's hands. "Sunshadow will tell you what you know. "While in the cell, he handed me the second copy. When I asked him, he said think about it. He obviously knew better. Although I don't know, what is written in the third diary. But it should have something to do with him personally. ”
"Maybe it's about his background. Lance replied after a moment's silence.
"Is he Morton's child?" said Peng Xiu. "The onset of the disease of extermination mentioned by Moses is uncertain, but most of them occur in the prime of life, and it is not surprising that if he has the disease of extermination, he will absorb the essence of people. Morton has been operating for decades in order to absorb the essence of the girl without being discovered, but he has been ruined, perhaps Morton doesn't know his existence at all, and doesn't know what he does. ”
"Maybe not. There are so many things we don't know. Lance sighed, he adjusted his sitting position, his face flashed with memory, and opened the memory box.
"Morton and I were good friends, good brothers, good brothers when we were younger. We've traveled together, we've encountered robbers, we've encountered landslides, we've been shipwrecked, we've all survived, we've all made it, and we've had a lot of fun. We explored everywhere in search of secret places, but we didn't expect to come across one of the mountains around the imperial capital, and that was Chambo.
The shampoo is shrouded in mist and has been hidden within the barrier for many years, making it difficult for outsiders to discover. Morton and I just found out, and the shampoo is so beautiful, beautiful and fascinating, beautiful and forgetful. Morton and I immediately fell in love with the place.
It stands to reason that this kind of secret realm should be extremely closed and refuse to be visited by outsiders. But the shampoo is not. The elders say that those who can enter the secret realm of Chambord will receive their divine guidance and become their friends. But the friend will be the culprit in the destruction of all this, I don't know if he has thought about it.
He doesn't know, we don't know. We're all too self-righteous. They all think that all encounters are accidental in heaven, and all chance encounters can exist.
If I knew that the shampoo would kill three women, that the mother of Xiaoxiu would die, and that all the people who would kill the shampoo would die, I would rather we never have been there, and I would have preferred that we would have died in a landslide, in a shipwreck, in the first place. ”
Lance said this, looking at Peng Xiu guiltily.
If time could be rewinded, this is a false proposition.
Peng Xiu did not speak, this is a wound between them that has not been able to heal, it was, it is, and it will be. It doesn't matter if you know the reason or not, whether you know the past or not, it's all.
They had never spoken before, and Lance was reluctant to tell him. He wanted to ask but hesitated. He knew that his mother's death was related to some secrets, and he also knew that his mother's death was related to his uncle. He knew that his uncle was as saddened by his mother's death as he was. From Lance taking care of him who was sick day and night, from Lance not marrying a wife or having children, only for him to expand his power, and to maintain his status in the royal family, from Lance's annual mother's death day to kneel in front of his mother for a whole day, Peng Xiu knew that Lance was actually more forgetful than him, and he couldn't forgive himself. He can check it himself, or he can refrain from asking, because he really doesn't want his suffering to reveal his uncle's pain.
But now, the time is ripe. Lance was willing to talk about the past, about the past that none of them wanted to talk about. Then it's time for him to know the truth and verify what he thinks.
"Mother, did you bring the shampoo and what happened?"
"I brought the shampoo. I've regretted this decision for the rest of my life.
That's when Morton and I met two women. They are the owners of these two diaries, Yuqing and Elena.
They are all very cute girls, the same age as Xiao Xiu's mother, and they are not married yet.
But my sister was favored by the royal family at a very young age, and was handpicked by the previous monarch to marry the next monarch, so she was taught by royal etiquette since she was a child, and she had to go in and out of the palace frequently since she was a child. But the palace is a very lonely place, and my sister has no friends. She really wanted to play freely and make friends or two of the same age, but she didn't have freedom. It wasn't until Xiao Xiu was born that she showed amazing talent and courage that everyone finally looked away from her and shifted their attention to you. She only got a moment of respite.
When Morton and I first arrived at Chambord, it was so beautiful and charming, I knew that my sister would definitely like the beauty of Chambord, Chambord was not very far from the imperial capital, but no one knew her here, and there were lovely women of the same age as Yuqing and Elena, they would definitely become friends. Isn't it an ideal place for Shampoo to meet all the requirements of her sister, but you don't have to stay away from the imperial capital and Xiaoxiu. I didn't hesitate to take my sister to Chambord. My sister really liked it here, she liked the place more than me, she wanted to know about the place more, she wanted to fit in with the place more, she even went to be a saint of the shampoo. It was only because she was here that she found out that she was not born to be the princess of so-and-so, and she could not only be a princess, she could also do some other things, and she could do some things that she thought were unique and shocking. She's an extremely smart person, and how hard it is to do what she wants to be. She's even going to succeed soon. But it was because of this success that she was forced to die in front of me. I couldn't do anything, I couldn't do anything, I couldn't say anything. My wrong decision has killed my sister, I can't let my family be buried with me anymore, and I can't let Xiao Xiu not even have a caretaker in a sinister place like the palace. I can't. I could only watch as those bastards in the Bright Holy Court forced my sister to death. Blind. ”
Lance said this, his face a look of pain that Peng Xiu had never seen before. Peng Xiu wanted to say something. But he didn't know what to say. He was ignorant and ignorant of the past, his mother was taken away, taken to a place beyond his reach, his pain, his helplessness was worse than the man in front of him, and the impact was deeper and heavier than this man.
A hint of warmth suddenly interrupted Peng Xiu's thinking, from a fair-skinned hand that was not soft, with some cocoons and some fine scars, not perfect, but a warm and powerful hand, gently covering his hand, transmitting warmth from the palm. It was the hand of the Shadow of the Sun.
He looked at the Sunshadow, not sympathy, not comfort, but burning trust. I believe that he can fight those clouds, believe that he can face the past rationally, believe that he can face himself and comfort his relatives at the same time.
The dead cannot be forgiven, and forgiveness is the prerogative of the living. There is no better place to speak than at this time, and there is no better place to forgive this man who has tormented his whole life because of a moment of kindness.
And forgiveness is the rarest thing in this world, and it is the simplest thing in this world. When there is a pimple in the heart, it is a gap, and when the heart is put down, it is a flat river. He should have let go a long time ago.
"Uncle, don't regret it, you know very well in your heart that it was your mother's own decision. You owe no one anything, you don't owe your mother, you don't owe me anything. The one who really blames and should take revenge is the one who set the system, the one who forced her to death, not you. You've lost enough. Peng Xiu said reassuringly.
Lance nodded, he knew Peng Xiu's understanding of him, and Peng Xiu had already interpreted it with respect for him. This is also the motivation for him to have the courage to face this matter, and it is also the motivation for him to continue to move forward.
"Is the person you like Yuqing or Elena?" asked Peng Xiu as he changed the subject.
Being asked about such a past, even if the Si people have passed away, can dilute a little sadness. Lance recalled himself as a hairy boy at that time, and his mood calmed down a little. "They are all very lovely girls, Elena is the daughter of the elder, and Yuqing is an orphan. They are good friends. We met Elena when we first came to Chambord, and it was Elena who introduced us to everyone. She was like the sun, full of energy and radiance, and there was hardly anyone in Chambord who did not like her. Of course, Morton and I both liked her at the same time. But Elena liked Morton. I lost at this point. Lance said this, feeling that the old face was a little unbearable. He was going to say something even more vigorous. He coughed dryly and continued.
"At that time, we only went after Elena. I had no idea that Yuqing also liked Morton. Later, when there was a war at the border, Morton and I both wanted to make contributions and serve the country. Just as we were going, two things happened. First, the corruption in the army at that time was very serious, and the level of status did not look at the military industry at all, but only the background of birth. What's more, at that time, the imperial capital sent many nobles to participate, and the situation was even worse. I don't need to say it, but Morton's family was in the middle of the road, and before he reached the border, he suffered a very serious ostracism. The second is that something happened to Morton's brother. Morton was already a member of the Illuminati Sect, and he was the target of recruitment, and at that time, he directly abandoned the army.
We both left the shampoo at that time. While leaving, an unspeakable thing happened. is the part of Yuqing's diary. We were both drunk, and I thought Elena was voluntary, but maybe Elena was mistaken. But I still did something irreparable. Elena refused to see me again, and the party was about to depart, so I left a letter to her and went to the border. But I went to war for five years, and by the time I got the news, the shampoo was already a scorched earth. My sister is being forced to die. Not only did I fail to save Shambu, but I also failed to save my sister. Moreover, before this diary, I didn't know that Yuqing and Elena had both given birth. One of them turned out to be Kamel. The other doesn't know if it's alive or not. ”
"The other is Althea. Sunshadow replied.
"It can't be. I've seen Morton's princess, not Yuqing or Elena. ”
"Elena likes hollyhocks, isn't it. Sunshadow asked flatly.
"How do you know?"
