The word "ghost" has almost not been released yet. The country guardian who had been quiet and peaceful suddenly raised his hand and made a stop gesture to me.
My words choked in my throat.
This is--
She looked at me, her eyes no longer solemnly, but became slightly flashing. When she met my puzzled gaze, she lowered her head, took out something from her sleeve, and slowly handed it to me.
"The noble status of Your Highness is indispensable from the day you were born, but the evil ghost Rakshasa around you is able to walk to this day safely. Your Highness has extraordinary means and demeanor. Pooh can't do anything else for Your Highness. He specially prepared a peace talisman to prevent disasters from happening. If Your Highness doesn't dislike you, please accept it."
“…”
I looked at the peaceful talisman in her hand that was exquisitely folded neatly, and subconsciously frowned.
What's the meaning?
I wanted to ask her about that "ghost", but she gave me a peace talisman?
The Master of the Guardian was still smiling and looking at me, taking the peace talisman a little closer: "Please accept it with your highness."
“…”
I looked at the peace talisman silently, looked up at her flickering gaze, and finally slowly reached out to take it over, and the Master of the Guardian immediately smiled softly.
My fingertips were twisting the peace talisman, and I felt a little bit like that.
She knew what I wanted to ask, but she didn't want to mention that ghost to me at this time.
Reason - probably just like she said just now that she didn't want to get involved in too many things in the world, although the conversation between us seemed very comfortable now, and I asked her and answered her, but I believe that Pei Yuanhao's people must be guarding outside the side hall. Perhaps not every word we say can reach his ears, but the wizard of the Guardians will definitely not say anything that shouldn't be said.
Then, now this talisman—
I looked down and said nothing. I slowly closed my fingers and pinched the peace talisman in my palm.
I said before that there were many things I wanted to ask her, and I hope she would answer my questions and answer questions. Her answer to me was "try to do as much as possible", rather than "knowing everything and saying everything". It seems that this is something she tried not to answer.
That "ghost".
My heart sank slightly. Could it be that the matter about this "ghost" is more important than my mother's identity and more important than the emperor of the current dynasty?
I became more and more confused, and I didn't dare to ask again at this time of class. After all, she knew the darkness and dangers in the imperial city better than me. If she couldn't even touch it, I would certainly be even more resistant.
So, I said softly: "Thank you, Master."
She smiled and stood up slowly. I stood up. She said, "By the way, Miss Yan, I heard before that Miss Yan had mentioned it in front of all civil and military officials that Xichuan now intends to make friends with the court. Is that true?"
For some reason she asked about this again, and I nodded: "Of course it's true."
"Since that's the case, will Miss Yan have a trip back to Sichuan in the near future?"
"..." I was stunned for a moment.
In fact, this matter has always been planned in my heart. It was just because of Miaoyan's illness that I have been delaying it until today. What does it mean when she suddenly mentioned this?
I subconsciously smiled and said, "Does the mage want to walk with me?"
"Of course not," she said with a smile: "Just Ni knows that Miss Yan has this itinerary, so that's enough."
As she said that, she glanced at the peace talisman in my hand again.
I vaguely understood something and nodded to her gently.
This time, both of them became quiet.
All the things that should be said have been said, and I can't say them. Now it's not time to open my mouth, so I should leave...
I hesitated for a moment, looked back at the huge tablet - the tablet that belonged to my mother. After all, I knelt on the cushion again, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times at the tablet.
The Master of the Guardian stood behind me, looked at me like this, and said softly: "Miss Yan's filial piety, His Highness, Princess Zhenguo, will definitely understand."
I knelt on the futon, looked at the damage and cracks on the tablet, and said softly: "My mother's tablet was damaged like this, why not repair it for her?"
The Master of the Guardian smiled faintly and said, "Miss Yan, no one dares to touch such a tablet anymore."
“…”
I was silent. After a long time, I gently reached out to touch the mottled handwriting and cracks on the tablet, and finally sighed softly.
There are indeed few people who dare to touch the tablets of the princess of the former dynasty.
If I have the chance, I still have to go back to Xichuan to find my mother's spiritual seat.
Then, I slowly stood up and bowed to Master Huguo: "Thank you, Master."
She looked at me with a smile: "I hope Miss Yan will be safe in the future."
...
After saying this, she did not speak again, but heard a very light footsteps coming from outside, and stopped a distance from the door. After a while, she heard a monk soldier under her walking to the door and said softly: "Master, His Majesty the Emperor has sent someone to ask."
The Master of the Guardian said softly: "Let's go."
I nodded silently and walked out with her. As soon as I went out, I felt a cold wind rushing on my face, making me feel dizzy and almost unstable - I listened to my mother's first half of my life here, as if I had fallen into the vortex of memories. At this moment, I walked out and faced with a real world, and I felt like I was a different world. Everything I originally knew was not what I knew, and even myself was not the me I thought.
Things in the world are indeed impermanent.
I stood on the steps and looked at the monk soldiers standing like stone sculptures outside, as well as the flags flying in the air in the distance, and they were all a little nervous. When I looked closely, Xiao Fuzi was looking at me cautiously. It seemed that he was the one who had just come to ask.
The Master of the Guru turned around and said to me, "Miss Yan, please go back to Princess Miaoyan quickly. The child must hope to rely on his mother to overcome his own difficulties."
I said softly: "Thank you, Master."
After saying that, the two of them put their hands together and bowed, and I walked down. Xiao Fuzi hurriedly came up and walked towards the back hall with me.
At this time, I realized that it was getting late. I felt like I had entered a deep mountain. One day in the mountains, the world had been in a thousand years, and my chaotic thoughts made me feel more and more confused.
After a while, I walked to the door of the back hall and then I remembered: "Are Miaoyan awake?"
Before Xiao Fuzi could speak, the door had already opened from the inside.
I looked up and saw Pei Yuanhao standing inside, holding the door with both hands, looking at me calmly: "She is not awake yet."
“…”
I suddenly saw him and my breathing paused.
His eyes also flashed slightly, but after saying that, he didn't say anything else. He just glanced at Xiao Fuzi. Xiao Fuzi immediately felt it and said loudly: "Get back to the palace!"
...
Our group quickly walked out of the Taimiao. When we walked to the wide square in front of me, I subconsciously looked back. On the side of the side hall, the monks and soldiers were still standing quietly and leaning over to salute the emperor's carriage. Pei Yuanhao only glanced at them indifferently.
|
We returned to the palace.
Pei Yuanhao didn't discuss it with me, nor did he say a word on the way. After entering the palace, he took a group of people back to his bedroom. I followed Miaoyan all the way and followed me like that. It was not until I walked into his bedroom and saw Xiao Fuzi and the others put Miaoyan on the bed and then retreated one by one, that I came to my senses in a daze.
I'm at his bedroom again.
It seems that this has been the case several times before. After Miaoyan’s practice of the method of summoning souls, he was sent here. I also came here to wait for her to wake up, but this time, I felt a little different.
He was silent and didn't look at me, but whenever I turned my back, I could always feel a gaze falling on me, as if it was touching and warm, which made me feel chilled.
At this time, the last little Fuzi retreated.
The door creaked and was closed.
I was originally sitting by the bed, looking at Miaoyan who had been sleeping peacefully, and the dull sound of closing the door made me shake slightly. Before I could react, I felt the black shadow in front of me slowly approaching. When I looked up, I saw Pei Yuanhao had already walked in front of me.
He had no expression on his face, and there was no warmth on his face, so he just looked at me condescendingly.
I subconsciously said, "Your Majesty, is there anything you want to tell me?"
He looked at me: "Do you have nothing to say to me?"
“…”
Indeed, I should have spoken.
It was me who went to see the Master of Guardian, I went to listen to those things, and I learned about my mother's identity and my own life experience. If I want to speak, it should be me.
But - I don't know what I should say to him.
He smiled faintly, with a little chill in his smile: "Why, I don't know what to say to me?"
“…”
"Or, are you afraid that my reaction will be after you said something?"
“…”
I looked at him and fell silent again.
After a long silence, I shook my head gently.
Fear? I don’t know if I should be afraid, but from the moment he promised me and asked me to meet the Master of Guarding the Country, I actually don’t have to be afraid. He didn’t kill me, nor did he want to kill me.
But my identity is extraordinary after all.
In the past, I hid my identity as the eldest lady of the Yan family in order to get back peace for life. After being exposed, I brought a lot of convenience, but I didn’t have much trouble.
But now, my identity is not even as simple as the eldest daughter of the Yan family, but the orphan of the previous dynasty that the dynasty hated the most, and the most unstable factor.
He didn't kill me, he didn't want to kill me.
