Chapter 114: Harukawa and Miyuki

Sakuragi Harukawa has had a strange ability since he was a child. Look at 'Mao's line, Chinese, and net

Whenever he concentrated, several different images would come to his mind. Sometimes it's one or two, sometimes five or six, at most a dozen. These images are incredibly real, and there is himself in each of them.

Slowly he understood that it was a moment later in the future. Different choices determine the direction of the future.

Although he can't see it far, this ability still brings a lot of convenience to his life. For example, after stealing rice balls, he always knows which direction to run. So never missed.

If Harukawa is an ambitious person, he will become the most powerful thief in Quanfuso, and he will never have to worry about eating and drinking in the future. But Harukawa didn't do that, he didn't ask for much, as long as there were free rice balls every day.

But one night, his fate changed. A group of samurai barricaded him in a hut. He immediately looked at the picture of the future, and it was pitch black in either case.

A sack was buckled over the head.

When the others took off the sack, he rubbed his eyes and looked around, and suddenly he was so shocked that he could barely close his mouth. The place was so magnanimous, a hundred times richer than the richest man he had ever seen.

A middle-aged man asked him, "Little friend, how about you live here in the future?"

Sakura looked at him in a daze, and suddenly knelt down and kowtowed, "Hello Long live Lord!

For he saw that in a few moments a great crowd would break into the house and kneel on the ground and call him Your Majesty. Although the cherry tree is small, she also knows what His Majesty means, and she also knows what to do when she meets the emperor.

The emperor was stunned.

Sure enough, a dozen people entered the room a moment later, and a priest with a tall hat whispered a few words in the emperor's ear. Harukawa's ears were tipped, and he heard the four words "predicting the future".

The emperor laughed and said, "Okay, it's really talented! This child will stay in the palace and be a retainer for my child!"

What exactly is a "retainer", Harukawa didn't understand. But he finally had a place to live. At first he was really not used to it, the beds here were too soft for him to sleep. Although the meals are delicious, they should not be eaten too much, and each dish has to be served away after just two bites.

He had asked people where the food had gone. Answer: Throw it away.

Qingchuan really wanted to cry when he heard it, but outside the wall, there were still people who went to steal and rob the rice balls.

"You are also considered to be a nobleman, how can you be compared to those sluts?" he was sighing when a cold voice entered his ears. Qingchuan looked back and saw that she was a beautiful and refined girl who didn't get half of the fireworks. She seemed to be able to read what was in her mind.

Harukawa wasn't a wooden person, but at the moment he only smiled awkwardly. On the one hand, he was indeed speechless, and on the other hand, he was shocked by the beauty of the girl, and the words that usually came from his mouth flew out of the clouds.

Later, he found out that the girl's name was Nanase Satatsuki.

Harukawa stayed in the imperial palace for more than half a year, and his daily task was to accompany his clan relatives to study. He knew that one of these children would become his own master in the future. So he quickly learned a skill: that is, he gets along well with anyone, and he is not too close to anyone.

This is the way life has taught him to survive.

One day half a year later, it had entered the wax moon, and it was snowing heavily. The children of the clan were so happy that they ran out to have snowball fights and build snowmen like crazy.

Qingchuan looked at their backs and smiled bitterly, these gentlemen really don't know how to be poor! Snow is a surprise in their eyes, but in the eyes of the poor it is a disaster. Whenever Kyoto is covered in heavy snow, there are always some frozen souls buried underneath.

But just like the beautiful girl said, she has already entered the noble family, and these things naturally have nothing to do with him.

An hour later, others were still playing in the snow, but Harukawa was a little alert. Today is unusual because Mr. Miura, who is teaching, has never come.

What can be better than the prince's studies? Could it be that there is something wrong with the court? Qingchuan's heart suddenly pounded, he closed his eyes and began to look at the picture of the future. But his vision is too short, and nothing will happen in the future.

He could only wait.

After a long time, Mr. Miura suddenly appeared at the door and said to him, "Harukawa, come here." ”

He stood up and walked out calmly, his heart beating like a drum. I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse.

Outside, another minister was waiting for them with a girl. The girl nodded at him. Of course Harukawa remembers her, she is Nanase.

The two were ushered into the emperor's palace, surrounded by a large group of priests, and a ghostly witch was dancing with his teeth and claws.

The air smelled of medicine.

The Emperor sat on his knees in front of a small bed. Lying on it was a young girl of four or five years old, with a pale face and closed eyes.

The chamberlain walked up to the emperor and whispered a few words, the emperor nodded, and said to the witch: "The two children have been brought, you can do it." ”

Two red smoke erupted from the nostrils of the witch, and he said in a strange voice: "The princess's illness is due to the work of the heavenly ghosts, and it is definitely not a medicine that can be cured. Please give the princess a princess first, and increase her blessings. Then the ghosts will not dare to move!"

The emperor said: "Quasi! Si Celebrant Supervisor, pass on my message, and immediately canonize Princess Jingren as the Prince of Qiuxiao Palace." ”

The celebrant looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with the rules......

"My daughter is dying, you didn't see it!" said the Emperor angrily.

The principal didn't dare to say any more, so he sang a song and retreated.

Wu Wu said: "And this pair of golden boys and jade girls are also given to the prince." It can solve problems for it. ”

Only then did Harukawa know that he and Nanase were originally pretending to be "golden boys and girls". Although he was a little unwilling, he could still accept this decision. Anyway, in the end, he can only be a slave, and it doesn't make much difference to him whether to give this young girl or do it to someone else.

He sneaked a glance to the side, only to find Nanase clenching his teeth and trembling slightly.

At this time, the emperor asked, "If the golden boy and jade girl are sacrificed, the princess's illness is not good?"

Wu Wu said: "Then please ask Your Majesty to kill these two people to appease the wrath of the heavenly ghosts." ”

Harukawa was shocked, he understood why Nanase was trembling, it turned out that the so-called "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" was just a living sacrifice to put it bluntly.

Harukawa is not a person who sits still, he wants to escape.

So he looked into the future, but found that no matter what method was used, the samurai would eventually capture him and kill him.

Maybe this is what people often call fate, even if you know the final outcome, you can't change it.

Now I can only pin my hope on this young girl.

The doctor began to dance again, humming strange tunes that upset people. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the emperor suddenly said with a straight face: "Don't wait!"

The samurai on both sides saluted, and brought Harukawa and Nanase to the front of the courtyard from left and right, and drew their shiny knives.

Qingchuan's heart was like ashes, and the strength to shout for mercy was gone.

I saw the samurai raise his sword above his head, and was about to slash down, when a faint call suddenly came from the room: "Daddy." ”

When Harukawa heard this, he cried out as if grasping at a life-saving straw, "Hey, do you hear me?"

The samurai listened, snorted, and raised his sword again.

Qingchuan didn't care about anything, and roared: "The princess has something to say, listen!"

At this time, there was another voice: "Daddy." ”

The samurai stopped his sword.

The emperor rushed over and picked up the princess and said, "My good daughter, are you better?"

The princess nodded weakly and said, "Daddy, I had a dream. ”

"Oh, what dreams?"

"I dreamed of Amaterasu's mother, and she told me to come back quickly, saying that if it's too late, Daddy, you're going to kill someone. Is it true?"

The emperor wiped his tears and said, "Good boy, it's not right to be a father. I will never do this again. ”

The young girl nodded, and suddenly smiled at Qingchuan and the girl.

Harukawa felt that this young girl was absolutely extraordinary. He discovers that all the images of the future converge on the princess.

Harukawa broke out in a cold sweat.

The princess suddenly stood up and said, "The snow has stopped. ”

Outside, the snow was flying like goose feathers. The crowd didn't understand what she meant. I saw her walking outside barefoot, and the moment she stepped on the corridor, the clouds suddenly opened and the fog dispersed, and the stars and moon shone brightly.

People don't know if she predicted the future or changed it.

Speaking of which, predicting the future has limitations. It depends on the length of time you can observe, both spatially and temporally. Harukawa's gaze is very short-sighted: he can only see his surroundings and a moment later.

So he couldn't think of any other way to use it than to use it to steal rice balls.

The princess, Prince Keihito, was different, and no one knew how far her eyes could see.

That year she prophesied famines, floods, and all of them. With prior preparation, disasters were minimized and there were no casualties. This was a miracle at the time.

The royal family immediately recognized the importance of the prince and decided to protect her. And such measures were mainly aimed at the shogunate.

In fact, there was only one thing that the emperor of Fuso thought about all day, and that was to seize power. The same was true of the reigning Emperor Xiaoguang at the time. He used his gifted daughter as his secret weapon.

He first changed his daughter's birth information, and then went through the world to forge the birth certificate behind the shogunate's back. In the end, Princess Keihito was gone, and from the beginning there was only Prince Keihito. There are only a few people in the entire clan who know the inside story, and of course they will keep their mouths shut.

So who will play the prince? Harukawa became the most suitable candidate. Although he has similar abilities to a princess, he is much more mediocre and does not seem to be able to influence the situation at all.

So Qingchuan really lived the life of a prince, living in seclusion every day. Occasionally appear on solemn ceremonial occasions as a foil. It's a boring life, but it's not bad. It's better than eating the last meal and not having the next meal.

The real Prince Keihito disguised himself as his maid and poured tea and water every day.

The maid gave herself a name: Sakura Miyuki.
