Chapter 308: Old Feelings Revisited
This matter is a taboo in the demon world, and no one dares to mention it when Nai Chongguang is there. And after he left, people gradually forgot because the hero and heroine in the story were gone. And now that Leng He suddenly mentioned this, Nai Qu couldn't help frowning, "Okay, how do you say this?"
"It's not that I don't respect the king, or I don't mean to embarrass you, it's just that this empty house is where the man lives. Now that the plum blossoms or the clues to find the fragments all point there, they all point there, so they have to revisit the old story. Leng He's gaze wandered, not daring to look at Naqu's terrified face.
Back then, when Nai Qu was still very young, he often saw his father and mother quarreling behind his back. And she vaguely heard that the "woman" in the mouth of the queen mother seemed to be the woman that her father loved deeply.
The angry and grief-stricken queen mother often sprinkled her anger on Naqu after quarreling with her father, and even Naqu hated "that woman", and always felt that it was her existence that made her father and queen mother quarrel, and even implicated herself.
"What else do you know, isn't she already dead?" there was a hint of disdain in Naqu's voice, "A woman like her, who cares about other people's men, is not worthy of living in this world, let alone fighting with the queen mother!"
"She's the king's favorite......" Leng He said. Naqu raised his eyebrows, "Hmph, it's just that the person is Israeli, and my father is just fascinated by her." What happened later, my father didn't return to the queen mother! And she only deserves to die quietly, turn into dry bones, and be forgotten!"
Leng He didn't say anything more, and Chai Shien and Liao Shui had already arrived. In order to ensure that the matter would not be easily revealed, they did not bring soldiers or maids, but only five people walked from a secluded place to the empty house planted with plum blossoms.
This was the first time that Chai Shien and Liao Shui had seen the demon realm where their subjects lived in addition to the palace. Because of the fire, most of the houses were destroyed, the collapsed walls and smashed roofs had scorched black marks from the flames, and many of the looted things were placed in the open space indiscriminately, which made people feel inexplicably anxious.
Naqu tried not to let herself see this, her heart was in turmoil, and she was afraid that it would affect the overall situation. She decided that if she found the missing scroll fragments, she would be able to keep the demon world safe forever. Compared to the momentary failure in front of her, that is what she has to do.
"It's not far ahead!" Qingbu relied on his memory to spare a large rock like a hill in front of him, and he should be able to see the empty house. Although Liao Shui didn't want to admit it, she knew that this woman who used to make her father and queen mother quarrel often was not a simple character, and she was afraid that her appearance and talent were not under her mother. And the place where she lives, even if her father doesn't like publicity, it won't be too bad.
Not far ahead, there was the rocky boulder that looked like a hill. Somehow, Naqu's heart suddenly lifted, and she was both disgusted and curious about the woman who was no longer alive. But when he turned the boulder and saw the lonely empty house standing in the middle of the wilderness, like an empty house isolated from the demon world, he couldn't help but be stunned.
There is no courtyard wall, but a fence made of simple tree branches to enclose a small area. The yard was overgrown with weeds, more than half a person tall, making it difficult to see what was going on inside. The only two houses were thatched huts, uninhabited for years, with doors and windows falling off, and walls crooked and crumbling, as if a slightly stronger wind could blow it down.
"She, she lives in such a place, Leng He, aren't you mistaken?" Naqu didn't believe that such a woman who was taken care of by her father would live so shabby. Leng He said, "That's right, this is it!" He and Chai Shien stepped forward to clean up the weeds blocking the door, and several people walked in with their own thoughts. Just as they walked into the thatched hut, a white mist suddenly rose behind them, enveloping the small courtyard, and from a distance, it seemed to have disappeared.
As if knowing this, Chai Shien noticed that Nai Chongguang, who had not moved, seemed to be very uneasy and moved a few times, but soon, there was no news. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the hero was sad to pass the beauty pass, even if it was Nai Chongguang, who was powerful and brutal, he had such a difficult time.
Chai Shien saw that the furnishings in the house were old and simple, except for the tables, chairs, bed and tables, there was not even a trace of superfluous things. Liao Shui couldn't help but say, "This is too shabby, you guys are fast, even the dishes and chopsticks are only for two people." ”
She didn't know that this seemingly unintentional sentence made the anger in Naqu's heart burn. In other words, this woman only prepared the dishes and chopsticks that she and her father were going to use, does this mean that the father often carried her and her mother behind her back to meet this woman?
"Damn, damn it!" Naqu suddenly became angry, and swept the dishes on the table to the ground, smashing them to pieces. Chai Shien and Liao Shui didn't know the inside story, and they both looked at her suspiciously. And Leng He knew that Nai Qu's anger was just a grievance for her mother.
"Your Majesty, time has passed, and people are long gone. There is a saying in the human world that says very well, people die like a lamp goes out, and it is said that the dead are great, and if it passes, let it pass. Leng He said good words and comforted, Nai Qu looked at the mess all over the ground, and the anger in his heart did not decrease, but intensified, "She should have died early in the morning, let her die so silently, but it was cheaper for her!"
"Wait a minute, you two wait a minute!" Liao Shui seemed to understand something, "Are you really saying that this is the owner of the empty house?" Leng He replied inconveniently, and Nai Qu snorted coldly, "Since I brought you here, there is nothing to hide." The people who lived here were my father, my father...... Alas, that slut!"
Hearing her say this, when thinking about the past, even if Chai Shien had a pimple head, he could understand a thing or two, "If I knew this, I should have asked Lao Nai, oh no, the whereabouts of the fragment of your father's scroll." Leng He said, "I'm afraid that the king doesn't know about it, otherwise he would never let the God Realm oppress the Demon Realm." ”
"Don't talk about that," Nagqu looked at Qingfu, "Where are the plum blossoms you said you saw?" Qingbu looked at this place carefully, and then pointed to the room inside, "It's there." ”
Naqu was skeptical, no one would ever plant plum blossoms in a house. But since Qingbu said so, he always has to take a look. The next room seemed to be a bedroom, and the whole embroidered curtain had lost its original color, and had become a miserable white, and the embroidered flowers on it were also broken. Naqu lifted the curtain of the door and was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him!
