Chapter 16: Finally Finding the Door
Hearing too many stories and secrets, Mu Yan tasted insomnia for the first time. She lay on the bed tossing and turning, carefully sorting out the connections between these things, and suddenly felt a huge headache.
The story that Xia Hou told her was actually a bleak love between childhood sweethearts and two little guesses.
A woman named Tianyin and a man named Qingheng meet on the beautiful seashore of the Night Country. They knew each other and fell in love soon. Although Qingheng's family is poor, he is very talented. If you pick a leaf from a tree, you can play a beautiful melody. The sound of the sky is like a heavenly sound, humming softly beside it. The people of the night country are harmonious and friendly, and every time they see such a scene, they praise the talented and beautiful women, a match made in heaven.
When the lord of the Night Kingdom learned about this, he was actually happy to see it happen. The territory of the Night Country is not large, but it is a paradise of its own and has no dispute with the world. They do not covet glory and wealth, but only seek a smooth and happy life.
However, often the more stable the love, the more it has to endure unfair tests. The name of Princess Tianyin of the Night Kingdom spread farther and farther, reaching the ears of Shen Duyi, the monarch of the Ming Kingdom. He didn't hesitate to come thousands of miles just to hear the beauty singing, but he didn't expect Tianyin's singing voice to be beautiful, and his appearance was even more captivating. Since Shen Duyi met her, he has never forgotten her.
Shen Duyi is the overlord of one side, and the three kingdoms all obey his orders. The reason why the Night Kingdom still exists is because he does not crusade and has the intention to keep this last paradise on earth. Now that he has taken a fancy to Tianyin, even if the Night Country Monarch is reluctant, he does not dare to disobey. Tianyin is smart, and he has already seen the clue in Shen Duyi's eyes. She panicked and told Qingheng what had happened. Qing Heng immediately decided to escape with her.
But on the night of the appointment, the Night Kingdom Monarch called Tianyin into the study, and it was not until the sky turned white that Tianyin came out of the study. His eyes were red and swollen, and he had obviously been crying for a long time. The beautiful little face was full of sadness, but there was a look of determination in her eyes.
After that, Tianyin went to Mingguo with Shen Duyi. A few days before the wedding, when Tianyin went out of the palace to pray in the temple, Qingheng suddenly appeared. killed several guards, and drove the carriage to take Tianyin away. Amane sat in the carriage. When he looked at the gentle man in front of him, he was so desperate, and tears instantly slipped down.
But who would have expected that Shen Duyi seemed to have known that someone would appear, and actually set up an ambush on the road. Even if Qing Heng knows martial arts, it is difficult for everyone to besiege him. He was knocked to the ground, and the wounds on his body became more and more, and his clothes were stained red. Tianyin was reluctant, and secretly plucked the hairpin on his head and stabbed it at the horse's back. The horse was frightened and ran away with a long neigh. Tianyin sat in the carriage and shouted for help, Shen Duyi was shocked and hurriedly ordered everyone to stop the carriage.
Qing Heng also wanted to rescue, but he was seriously injured and had no strength anymore. So in the end, I could only watch the carriage roll off the cliff.
When Tianyin and Qingheng met again, they were in the prison of Mingguo. Qing Heng looked very excited when he saw her, but when he saw her legs, he panicked again, and asked what was wrong? Tianyin smiled indifferently and said that it was okay, but he couldn't walk anymore. At that moment, Qingheng and Tianyin actually knew that some things were already doomed and could not be changed after all.
Qingheng said that he was sorry that he failed to protect her. Tianyin said that she didn't blame him, she brought it on herself. It's okay in this way, if your leg is broken, you can also die, she can't go anywhere, so she can only stay in Mingguo.
Qing Heng shook his head and said no, even if he carried her behind his back and hugged her, he would take her away. Tianyin smiled sarcastically and said You still don't understand? I don't want to leave at all, I just want to stay here! Shen Duyi treats me very well, he gave me everything I want, and I am willing to stay by his side!
At the end of the story, Qing Heng left the country alone, not knowing where he went. He may have known that he would be able to leave alive, most likely because of Tianyin's intercession. But I don't know if his heart is grateful, hateful, or relieved, and he doesn't think about anything anymore.
This story is the story that Xia Hou told Mu Yan. And if these stories are true, then the man in Hongluan's mouth is probably Fu Qingheng!
Sure enough, he didn't let go, and all his affection for Tianyin turned into hatred. He may be able to understand Tianyin's distress, but he understands even more that if Shen Duyi is not the king of the Ming Kingdom, if it is not the hegemony of the Ming Kingdom, then Tianyin at least has the right to choose. Since he lost to power and status, one day, he will win it all back!

As soon as it was dawn, Mu Yan got up from the bed. She thought about it all night, since her grandfather had already told Shen Duyi about the seriousness of the matter, then he must have known everything. His Majesty the Emperor is not nervous, what is she anxious about here?
Sitting in front of the dresser, Mu Yan saw his swollen pair of panda eyes, and suddenly realized that he was worrying! After calling Hongluan to boil two eggs, he peeled off the shell and wrapped it and put it on his eyes.
In the morning, the climate was cool, so Mu Yan sat in the courtyard with his eyes closed and took a nap. The two eggs were placed on a stone table beside them, and the little ferret lay there, picking curiously with its little paws from time to time. In the house, Hongluan was cleaning and was very busy.
Putting aside all the troubles, Mu Yan felt that life was very comfortable. But before I could enjoy this quiet time for a while, I heard footsteps outside. Two women walked into the courtyard one after the other. Walking in front, with heavy makeup and glamour, his toes are high, and the whole person smells of money from the inside out. The latter one, with his head down, took small steps, looking like he was well-behaved, obviously born in a big family, and was taught well by his family.
"Yo, my sister is really blessed, she is napping in the sun early in the morning?"
Mu Yan opened his eyes and glanced sideways at the person who spoke. She was not deaf, and she had already heard the sarcasm in her words. He was not polite to the other party, and said lightly: "Who are you?"
“......”
The woman with heavy makeup was angry, and just wanted to say something, when she saw another woman standing behind her raise her head and smile at Mu Yan, and said slightly: "I've seen the third princess." ”
What is politeness! What is quality! Mu Yan really thinks that this thing is a bit esoteric, and she will never understand it! On the contrary, those who understand these are easier to look at, at least when they meet for the first time.
Mu Yan also smiled back, and said to the handsome woman who looked more honest: "You are Sister Feng, right? I just came to the mansion, and I am not very familiar with some people and things, and I hope that my sister will give me more advice in the future." ”
Saying this, Mu Yan also stood up. It's been a while since she moved back to the palace, and these two concubines finally came to the door.
