Once Upon a Time in Southern Yunnan (2)

Previous Chapter

He told her that he would play a flute, a flute that would bloom as soon as it sounded.

She didn't believe it, and pestered her for a long time, insisting that he tell him what it was.

He never refused, but he also promised that one day he would blow it to her.

She then had a dream, in the dream he and her sat on a high branch, one played the flute, the other harmonized, flowers bloomed below, the orchid camellia rhododendron Lingxiao poppy beauty, here and there, lively.

She came with him to the southwestern kingdom of Yunnan. It was only at this time that she knew that the person standing next to her was the seventy-eighth king of the Dian Kingdom.

They stood on a hundred-foot platform, and below them were his people prostrate on the ground.

He asked her, "Do you blame me?"

"What do you blame?"

"Concealed •••••• my identity. ”

It's weird?—— it's weird. If she had known that he was the king of a country, perhaps she would not have been so reckless and had come with him.

The king of a country has too much to shoulder.

But so what? Didn't she hide her true identity from the dragon••••••

Something is born by a lie and perished by a lie.

Later, the two of them went together to meet the Son of Heaven in the Central Plains.

When he asked her at first, she was hesitant - for thousands of years, she had not set foot outside the Fengye Lake, let alone left southern Yunnan.

But he put it this way: "I don't feel at ease by putting you here. The tone was very pulse, so that she was immediately convinced.

It was the first time she had walked that far. She asked him what the Central Plains was, and he said that it was a place with abundant water and soil, where the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the emperor was benevolent. When she got there, the place called Gongdu was really prosperous, embroidered buildings and pavilions, and the lights of the carriages and horses opened her many eyes.

She didn't expect that such a prosperous city would almost become a grave that buried the lives of both of them.

The night before they met the Forbidden Emperor, the two of them stayed at an inn in the city.

She approached him and offered to accompany him into the palace.

"You can wait for me here. I'm afraid that the atmosphere in the palace is too depressing, and you can't adapt to it. ”

She didn't listen, and insisted on going along, just for an anxious heart. Unsettled, she refused to let him go alone—she was afraid.

"Take me with you•••••• I don't worry about you••••••"

He was stunned for a long, long time. The candle melted the water and turned into flowers under the feet.

He hugged her and said in a trembling voice, "Fool." ”

A long time later, as the queen of Yunnan, the fairy always repented when she recalled that night: if it weren't for her persistence that night, maybe there would no longer be so many grievances and entanglements in the future.

They won't be able to escape that fate.

On the day of the audience, they dressed up and walked into the main hall to meet the saint.

He saluted the forbidden emperor on the Nine Dragons Treasure Chair, looked back at her, and said again: "This is my Dian Kingdom**, my queen immortal." ”

Astound. The eyes are dumbfounded, and the tongue is at a loss. And then there was rejoicing.

No one noticed the forbidden emperor on the high platform who stretched out his eyes: "The queen of your country, you really deserve the word "allure the country and the city——"

The back took a seat, and the court music came up. She didn't want to listen to it, she only savored the words, those words, "Dian Kingdom**, I am a fairy after me", this is a marriage agreement, and it can't be wrong. So I laughed and couldn't hold back my liking. When he glanced at him, he was also looking at himself, and he was ashamed. Staggered his eyes and saw the gaze.

Poisonous, spicy, burning, shaking—the eyes of the forbidden emperor.

She shuddered.

When she left the palace, she said to listen to him - "I didn't expect the forbidden emperor to be so greedy for beauty", and the two decided to leave quickly and no longer stay.

But before they could take half a step, evil befell them.

He had a strange illness. At first, he only had a high fever that did not go away, and then he fell unconscious. invited a doctor to come, took a pulse, and immediately fell: "It's not a disease, it's a poison wow-

"This is a poisonous weed in the Western Regions, which has been trained by Gu witches to be blindly poisonous, colorless and tasteless, and the middle one has a high fever that does not go away, and all the internal organs are burned. The fever can't go away, it will climb day by day, and finally burn to the point of delirium, ordinary people only think that the wind and cold are excessive, but in fact it is highly poisonous, this poison is called 'fire burning clouds'!"

She looked at him on the bed as white as paper, and remembered the cup of strong tea that the Forbidden Emperor had rewarded him that day - when he drank it, the cruelty and profundity of the Forbidden Emperor's eyes buried deep in his eyes - she immediately understood, understood the cold to the bone, and shivered without a fight!

For a day and two nights, she spent all her body's essence and finally forced his poison out of her body, and finally she lost her strength and fell asleep.

The first thing I saw when I woke up was his sad face. When he saw her wake up, he was overjoyed and hurriedly helped her to sit up.

"Makes you suffer. He said with tears in his eyes.

She smiled bitterly, and instead of answering him, she said the following: "Do you love me, Kailou?"

"Nature is love, why do you knowingly ask ••••••"

"That being the case, when the Forbidden Emperor sends someone over, you must not show up. ”

He was shocked: "What are you talking about?"

"That old fox is scheming, and will send someone to check whether you have been poisoned and died. Don't show up then, I will tell their envoys that you are dead, and the Forbidden Emperor will summon me to the palace. In this way, their goal will be achieved, the defense of the palace capital will be weakened, and you will have a chance to escape••••••"

He was so angry that he almost wanted to attack: "What are you talking about—how could I leave you ••••••"

"Listen to me, that emperor won't do anything to me. Even if I go in, with my martial arts, it will be easy to get out, you-"

His eyes were cold.

"Are you going to leave me? ”

"•••••• Kailou, what are you talking about?"

"You want to stay in this palace and enjoy all the glory and wealth, yes or no?"

"I'm thinking about you all this, what are you thinking, Kylo, you-"

Just then, an attendant came in, and Jane saluted, saying that someone had asked to see him.

She was shocked: Sure enough, someone was sent over! Before she could speak: "Let him enter the ••••••?"

Before fainting, she sensed someone walking into the house.

"Is the King of Dian in good health?"

"Very good, what's the matter?"

"The Emperor summons ••••••"

"Call me on, go, I'll go. ”

"No, no, it's your queen—"

Unfortunately, she had already left the palace first. ”

"What-"

Then came the boundless darkness.

When she woke up, she was sitting in a carriage, joking, sobbing, and trembling. A wilted piece of paper, resting on her lap.

When your nose is sore, you will cry. She had expected what was happening.

The letter opened—

"Take care of yourself, I can't be with you anymore.

That flute is actually the treasure of the town and country that was blown at the flower god festival when the Dian kings and queens of the past dynasties were married-it's a pity that I can't blow it for you.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Immortal.

Good bye. ”

Tears dripped up, and the words behind me couldn't be seen clearly.

Not yet his queen.

I haven't heard him play that flute for himself.

He had not yet been worshiped by thousands of people on the high altar.

Before holding the child, I sang with him and taught the child to read and hyphenation.

It's not all over yet, it's coming to an end—

How willingly?

Suddenly she lifted the curtain of the sedan - she shouted hatefully: "Turn around - go to the palace." ”
