Chapter 17

...

Qin Rong had not yet mentioned the marriage to Emperor Wucheng, and with Yingying's words, he would not mention it again.

Although Qin Rong feels as gentle as jade, the things in his bones cannot be changed. His natural control has created his indifference and strength. He will not bother to get something that is dispensable to him. Yingying is just a woman, and this is even more so.

When the palace lanterns were hung on Huating, Yingying sat on the ground for a long time before she recovered her strength. She said that she would not stay for too long. He stepped out of Huating and did not look at Yingying again, and his back quickly disappeared under the night.

Yingying suddenly remembered her previous life, when she was a child when she first saw Qin Rong.

It was also like this summer night. She shrank under the tree and looked up at the stars. The young Qinrong walked over with the moonlight. He held a palace lantern in his hand to dispel the darkness around her, squatted in front of her and asked if she was lost.

Yingying nodded. She did not lie to him. She had been naughty for the first time when she first arrived in the palace, and she couldn't tell the difference between the east, west, north and north, and she was indeed lost.

That night, Qin Rong sent her back to Fengkun Palace. He walked in the night and left in the moonlight. Yingying stood at the gate of the palace for a long time and refused to go in. It was not until she saw him stopping and looking back at her that she smiled so hard that her eyebrows and eyes ran back to the room.

After two lifetimes, Yingying always remembered the boy on the summer night that year. If she hadn't married him, Yingying would never have thought that such a gentle and beautiful boy would be so dark that it makes people tremble.

"Goodbye." Yingying murmured to Qin Rong's back. She thought that from now on, her involvement with this man would be completely cut off.

After slowly returning to the room, Yingying looked at Xue Ninglu on the table and hesitated. Later, she thought that her sprain had nothing to do with Qin Rong, so she picked it up and used it.

The snow dew is indeed well-known. Yingying felt a lot more comfortable when she wiped it. She was about to go to the couch to rest, but someone pushed the door open. Gu Manru came in with a letter and said to Yingying with a smile: "Girl, your brother wrote to me and said that he would be able to arrive in the imperial city soon."

Gu Lingxiao served in the Governor's Office and was sent to Yunzhou to conquer the chaos a few days ago. Now it's time to come back more than a month.

Yingying has been looking forward to her brother coming back soon since she was reborn. Now she suddenly learned that he was coming back, and she was a little stunned for a moment. Her heart was pounding quickly and couldn't tell whether it was excitement or nervousness. Seeing Yingying not saying a word, Gu Manru said funny: "Is this stupid?"

She even thought this girl could jump up excitedly.

Yingying came back to her senses and took the letter to confirm it. There was no surprise in the letter and she would definitely be able to return to the imperial city within two days.

Finally...her brother is coming back.

Two good things came to us in one night, and Yingying was so excited that she couldn't sleep.

She had already agreed with her aunt that she would go to the city gate to welcome her brother back in person. Thinking of the handsome face that she hadn't seen for a long time, Yingying shouted softly: "System?"

【002 system serves you.】Although the system is silent most of the time, it is always there.

He also thought about this host, but Yingying lay on the couch, covered her face with her hands and said shyly: "Can you talk to me in the voice of my brother?"

system:【……】

After a moment of silence, the system changed into Gu Lingxiao's voice and spoke: [Host, you don't have much time anymore, have you considered whether to accept the task?]

Yingying directly ignored its words: "Call me Yingying."

System again: [Yingying, you don’t have much time left. Have you considered whether to accept the task?]

Yingying was still dissatisfied: "You said to me, 'Yingying, brother is back'."

The system no longer wants to speak, but it can't stand it now begging her to do things, so she can only try her best to please her.

"Yingying, my brother is back."

"Yingying, are you in trouble again?"

After systematically learning what Yingying taught me, the already shy girl buried her face in the pillow and rolled around on the couch with a thin quilt. After a long time, Yingying spoke softly: "Brother, Yingying misses you too."

After struggling until midnight, Yingying finally fell asleep in a daze. When she fell asleep, there was a smile on the corner of her lips. She thought she would have a beautiful dream, but she didn't expect to dream of the deepest nightmare in her memory.

Blood, the ground is covered with blood.

In the luxurious and luxurious golden hall, Yingying sat on the couch with her knees in her arms.

Her long black hair fell behind her back, her face drooped with her chin against her knees, and her small face as big as a palm appeared unhealthy white.

There was a faint sound of fighting outside, and a palace maid stood at the palace gate and asked in a panic: "What's wrong with this outside?"

"I heard that some rebels entered the palace."

"What?!"

"Shh—" The voice was deliberately lowered, but the sound outside the hall still made Yingying listen as expected. She heard the man whisper: "It was General Zhaoyi who rebelled. I heard it was for the Empress."

For...her?

Yingying's long eyelashes flashed, and her pale face finally became emotional. She moved her stiff body and tried to stand up, but she was tripped by the chains on her ankles while she was staying.

The loose dress fell to the ground, and Yingying looked up at the hall gate as she listened to the increasingly smaller fighting sounds.

The sun was shining brightly, and someone stepped in in the backlight. The embroidered patterns on the Xuanjin dragon robe were dazzling. Qin Rong walked to Yingying and picked her up. He gently put her back on the couch, knelt on one knee and stroked her little face, "What's wrong with Yingying?"

The sound outside was completely inaudible, and the surroundings were terrible.

Yingying was inexplicably uneasy, and she went to grab Qin Rong's sleeve, "My brother, he..."

"Has he visited me?"

Qin Rong sighed softly, hugged Yingying and wrapped her neck together: "Do Yingying want to see him?"

"Maybe, this is the last one."

Qin Rong's gentle voice echoed in the hall over and over again, and Yingying couldn't help but breathe in her dream. The subsequent scenes were all things she didn't want to see, but she couldn't control the dream and could only watch everything happen. She saw the jade steps of the Qiankun Temple dyed red with blood, and saw countless people corpses on the bloody ground.

Gu Lingxiao knelt on one knee in armor. He was hit by several arrows in front and back, and his face was covered with blood and only a pair of eyes were revealed.

A pair of cold and cold looks only in her eyes.

"No, don't..." Yingying began to struggle in her dream, but she could not get out of the dream no matter what.

She saw herself standing on the tall Panlong jade steps by Qin Rongheng, and saw herself wearing gorgeous clothes and depicting beautiful makeup.

A sarcastic laughter overflowed. Yingying saw Gu Lingxiao looking up at her and asked in a hoarse voice: "Brother has been unable to understand, how could my sister become like this?"

"Are you spoiled by me, or is I, Gu Lingxiao, blind and never see through you?"

"…If possible, I really want to kill you with one sword."

Gu Lingxiao died, and died in this rebellion.

Since Yingying married Qin Rong, the Gu family has fully supported Qin Rong's loyalty. Even if the Gu family has a strong power, Qin Rong has never thought of suppressing him as the emperor and queen. As a general personally granted by Qin Rong, Gu Lingxiao had no ambitions and never thought of betraying Qin Rong. It was in such a peaceful state that Gu Lingxiao suddenly led his army into the palace.

Perhaps just as the palace maids in Qiuying Hall said, Gu Lingxiao was not for the throne or anything else, he was just for Yingying.

Even though he hated Yingying and wanted to kill her, when Yingying begged him, he still sent troops.

The wind at the higher level was very strong, and blood was coming to the face.

Qin Rong let go of Yingying and let her walk towards Gu Lingxiao step by step. Before she could approach, Gu Lingxiao's tall body fell to the ground and a blood-stained long life lock fell out of his arms. Yingying instantly collapsed on the ground when she saw the long life lock. Qin Rong helped her up behind her. He held her arm very hard and asked, "Do you regret it?"

"You killed him."

If you are more obedient and sensible at the beginning, you will not cause the disaster you are now.

Yingying was helped up by Qin Rong in a daze. She blinked her eyes and suddenly felt that her cheeks seemed to be burned. When she raised her hand and touched her, her face was wet and covered with tears.

I don’t know what it felt, but Yingying only felt an unprecedented emotion rushing in her heart, and tears could not be controlled no matter what. Unlike the begging for Qin Rong for her disguise, this is the first time she has cried.

Qin Rong hugged her very tightly, but Yingying couldn't control herself and kept shaking. She was trembling violently inside and outside the dream. She said to Qin Rong: "My heart hurts so much."

"It hurts really."

Unable to tell what it felt, Yingying couldn't breathe. She grabbed Qin Rong's sleeve in a daze, and repeated the pain over and over again.

"Qinrong, am I sick?"

"Why do I feel so painful?"

"Qinrong, please save me quickly. I feel like I'm going to hurt so much."

...Why does she feel so painful?

The eyes turned into a dark patch. Yingying opened her mouth and couldn't breathe smoothly. The dream suddenly shook a few times, and the hazy light shone in. Yingying heard someone calling her anxiously and said, "Good boy, wake up quickly, why are you crying so hard?"

The dream dissipated. Yingying opened her eyes and saw a blurry gaze. She blinked her eyes and tears as big as beans. Gu Manru held her in her arms and gently walked on her back, "Is Yingying a nightmare?"

"Don't be afraid, my aunt is here to accompany you."

At this time, the sky was already foggy, and the morning air was wet and fresh with the leaves. Yingying buried her face in Gu Manru's arms, grabbed her sleeves and said softly: "Auntie, Yingying wants to go to Qingguang Temple."

This dream seemed to remind Yingying of the sins she had committed, and Yingying suddenly lost the courage to see Gu Lingxiao.

Gu Manru responded repeatedly, but she didn't expect Yingying to set off immediately. She was slightly stunned and persuaded: "Your brother might be back today. Didn't you say you want to go to the city gate to greet him? It wouldn't be too late to go to Qingguang Temple when you see your brother."

Yingying couldn't wait anymore, she was hiding Gu Lingxiao.

Gu Manru was so scared that her face turned pale when she saw Yingying. She felt sorry for her for a moment and did not persuade her again.

"Okay, please be shocked. Your aunt will send someone to prepare a carriage now and will take you to Qingguang Temple later."

Yingying nodded, packed her luggage in advance and waited in the room.

When the carriage slowly drove out of Fengkun Palace, Qin Rong stepped on the morning dew to greet Gu Manru. The follower beside him saw Qin Rong's eyes falling on the carriage and pretended to be curious to ask the palace maid who led the way.

The palace maid just knew the situation: "That was Miss Gu's carriage."

After secretly looking at Qin Rong, the palace maid said in a whispering voice, "I think there is something important. Miss Gu hurried to Qingguang Temple when she woke up this morning."

Qin Rong didn't say a word and looked back, and there was no emotion in her calm face.

The author has something to say: Yingying: I am guilty, I am punished, I am wrong, I will go eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name.
