Chapter 52: A Broken Dream
"Mother, I'm back!"
A beautiful girl dressed in a simple short dress smiled and said to the graceful and majestic woman in front of her.
"Look at you, don't help me deal with political affairs, run outside all day long, which man will dare to marry you in the future!"
The woman hated iron and said with no steel.
"Mother, I don't want to marry them, they revolve around me all day long, and they are annoyed to death. ”
The girl seemed to think of something, so she said impatiently.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I think you are too idle, you will move to the Phoenix Palace tomorrow to handle the affairs of the palace with me, and in a few years I will find you a gentle and decent flower monarch to assist you, and then when you can handle political affairs alone, you will inherit my Phoenix Palace, so that I can abdicate as soon as possible to retire." ”
The woman looked at the girl in front of her and frowned, she felt that the girl was too rebellious now, and it would be too late to rein in her temperament, so she said in a bad tone.
"Mother~ don't!"
The girl, half-coquettishly and half-reluctantly, took the woman's arm and pleaded.
"This matter has been decided, no need to talk about it again, otherwise I will ban you, and you will not be able to go anywhere until you inherit the palace!"
The woman said harshly to the girl.
“...... I know my mother. ”
The girl was silent for a moment and then replied dejectedly.
"Okay, I've been out and mingling for so many days, let's go back to rest quickly! Come here on time tomorrow morning, don't be late for me. ”
After speaking, he ignored the girl and reviewed the chapter by himself.
The girl listened to the cold and serious words, and answered with a broken face, and then went out.
But when the girl walked down the street and looked at the lively and bustling people in front of her, her boredom was swept away and her smile was restored.
"Wang Ji, you're back! Come and taste the fresh grapes I picked this morning, they're old and sweet. ”
A white-haired old woman said respectfully to the girl.
"Well, it's good, the flesh is full and juicy, sweet and sour!"
When the girl heard the sound, she stopped, walked to the old woman's fruit stand, took a grape, tasted it carefully, and then praised her happily.
"If it's delicious, you can take more and eat it slowly!"
The old grandmother was overjoyed to receive the girl's affirmation.
"Grandma, how much are these grapes!"
"Eh, Wang Ji, it's an honor for you to come over, how dare you ask for your money!"
The old grandmother said to the girl in fear.
"That's not good, you have worked hard to pick and sell, this hard-earned money will definitely be given to you, and I like your grapes very much!"
The girl was empathetic and persuaded the old grandmother.
"Then thank you Wang Ji!"
The old woman looked very grateful to the girl.
Then the girl continued to walk, but more and more vendors rushed to give the girl free tastings and gifts like the old grandmother before, but the girl still showed a decent smile and nodded to them kindly, accepting all kinds of food or fun things.
Until she returned to her own palace of the princess, the girl was already full of a lot of things.
"Wang Ji, you're finally back, you've been gone for more than half a month, Ayi misses you so much!"
Said a figure dressed in emerald green rushed towards the girl, fortunately the girl deftly dodged to the side, but the person who rushed over fell in front of the girl a little embarrassed, and the expression after getting up was a little aggrieved, and he kept looking at the girl with resentment.
"Uh... Ayi, don't you see a lot of things in my hands? Don't be so reckless every time you see me, now that you're a 16-year-old young man, you've grown up, you have to know whether women and men are kissed or not! ”
The young man raised his forehead and said to him solemnly.
Ayi is her minion, no matter what, it's just too clingy to her.
"Wang Ji I'm sorry, the slave was too excited just now, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future, please forgive me. ”
Ayi hung her head and confessed to the girl.
"Okay, okay, let's not take it as an example, you quickly help me take these things down, and kill me. ”
The girl didn't say anything more when she looked at him pitifully, and then said to her a little tiredly.
"Wow, Wang Ji is so powerful, every time you come back, the people will give you something, you are so charming. ”
Ayi said to the girl with a look of adoration.
Suddenly, the picture turned, the originally lively streets are now blood-red, full of corpses, and the previous teenager now seems to be a lot more mature and stable, she walked on the street and saw this scene blankly, frightened, shuddering, obviously yesterday was still a warm and fast scene, today woke up like this. I insert it
Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she muttered: Mother, mother? No, mother-in-law must be in danger, I will go to save her.
Then she ran quickly forward.
Phoenix Palace
After arriving at the gate of the palace, the girl couldn't help but be scared in her heart, because the current Phoenix Palace has become a dilapidated ruin, and it was so magnificent, brilliant and majestic before.
She didn't dare to go in, afraid that when she went in, she would see a pile of lifeless corpses, afraid that she would never see her if she saw her mother's corpse, and even more afraid that there was nothing in it, but only a pile of ashes burned by the flames, and then dispersed by the wind lightly.
"Ahh
Just as she was hesitating and thinking about it, when she finally mustered up the courage to go in, she suddenly heard a scream inside, her face turned pale, and she immediately rushed in.
A familiar white robe stood with his back to her, a sword was plunged into a man's chest, and when she approached, it was her mother.
The once delicate and noble woman was now lying on the ground motionless, and the corpses of the guards around her mother were piled up beside her.
"Mother-"
At this time, she could no longer hold back the pain and tear and shouted.
She couldn't help but hate herself for why she had hesitated just now, if she had come over to stop him earlier, if she hadn't known him in the first place, wouldn't things have been like this, and her mother wouldn't have died.
Tears filled his eyes, and the scene began to blur, and finally darkness fell.
"Huh, how could I have such a dream?"
At this time, Mu Xiaoxian opened his eyes blankly and lay on the bed, remembering the dream he had just had, and asked in his heart suspiciously.
It turned out that what happened just now was a dream, in the dream just now, it seemed that she was the girl, and the last pain, guilt, and hatred were deeply engraved in her mind, and she suddenly felt that her eyes were wet, and she subconsciously touched it with her hand, shocked, and was surprised: she actually cried.
After she broke through the body of the demon beast and rescued everyone, they went out directly and returned to Yanling Country.
And when the old emperor in the palace was about to announce the heir, it happened that the third princes, Yan Xuan and Yan Tianyi, came back and stopped them.
When the old emperor saw Yan Tianyi, his eyes widened, his pupils shrunk, and his trembling lips said, "You, you are ......"
"What's the matter, my own brother, you won't forget your eldest brother, right?"
Yan Tianyi sneered.
"You're not dead?"
The old emperor looked at the familiar and unfamiliar Yan Tianyi in front of him, and became a little frightened, and said in a panic.
"Hmph, of course I'm not dead, we're brothers from the same mother, you can actually do it? Why are you so vicious?"
Yan Tianyi looked at the old emperor with complexity.
"I'm sorry for you, big brother, kill me!"
The old emperor closed his eyes painfully and said.
"Oh, you're going to die anyway, why don't I let you die in agony? I'm going to hang you half-dead, just like I was at the beginning! Now I'm going to kill you with a knife, it's too cheap for you. ”
Yan Tianyi looked at the old emperor lying on the bed in pain, and sneered with a touch of viciousness in his eyes.
Then because Mu Xiaoxian's injuries had not healed, Yan Tianyi let her cultivate her body directly in the palace.
