Chapter 16 sixteen

Bai Ying hurriedly reached out to support her, but saw that there were tears on her face, she couldn't help being surprised: "What's going on?" "Don't dare to hide from the Crown Princess," Hong Yuan lowered her head and said softly, "I'll go to the National Restoration Army Camp to see Zhixiu." "Zhixiu?" Baiying murmured the name, vaguely feeling that this name seemed to have once been a hot topic among the nobles of Kongsang, trying to recall, suddenly raised her head, and blurted out, "Could it be that person you are talking about?" ?!"

"Yes," Hongyuan lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly, "he's back again." Baiying's hand rested on her shoulder, and she couldn't help trembling for a moment—— A hundred years ago, she also heard various rumors about the Scarlet King.Hearing that this princess of the Red Clan who was ten years older than herself fell in love with a mermaid, she acted so boldly that she refused Emperor Chengguang's offer of marriage several times, which aroused discussions among the entire Kongsang noble class.Her father, queen mother, and many of her older brothers persecuted her together, exhausting all kinds of means—at one point, it was even reported that she committed suicide.

Because of the waywardness of the heir, the Red Clan fell into turmoil.The Red King of the older generation was furious and died of illness suddenly.The Queen Crown Prince knelt down in front of her mother and cried bitterly. After all, she took over the crown amidst the shouts of the people, ascended the throne, and became the new Scarlet King—in less than a year, in order to consolidate the new kingship, she obeyed the arrangement of the imperial capital, Married to a nobleman of the Blue Clan, held a grand wedding ceremony. On the day of the wedding pawn, the shadow of the merman was not seen beside the bride—and since then, he has never been seen again.

After the Red King got married, he seemed to be a different person. All the rebelliousness in his girlhood disappeared. He was able to handle things with a calm attitude, and he was well-organized inside and outside. In the third year, he gave birth to a prince, so that the throne of the Red Clan also had an heir—— In the next ten years, she became a nearly perfect king, and the rumors outside finally gradually subsided, as if everything had been forgotten. Later, there was war, and the country fell... When the Ice Clan returned from the West Sea under the leadership of a wise man, when they boarded the Yuanzhiyuan and invaded Yunhuang, they were first resisted by the Chizhi Clan who managed the Chishui River Basin.The Scarlet King, who had just given birth, led his clansmen to fight back, and at the same time sent an emergency warning to the imperial capital for help.However, the strength of the foreign enemies was far beyond imagination, and the political situation in the imperial capital was extremely corrupt, and no reinforcements arrived for a long time. After struggling for several months, the entire Chishui River Basin fell.

Her husband died in that war with a long knife in his hand.The usually indifferent Chi Wang threw himself on her husband's body, crying until his eyes bled.But after wiping away the tears and standing up, he continued to face the approaching Ice Race invaders, and in his eyes was the madness and fearlessness of a mother protecting her child.She recklessly fought fiercely with the Ice Tribe on the territory, mounted her horse and rushed to the forefront to protect her tribe and territory. Three months later, the Red King led the remaining elite troops to evacuate, behind him was the burning palace and home.

One year later, Yecheng fell, and the Scarlet King withdrew to the imperial capital Jialan along with the kings. Ten years later, the isolated city of Jialan, the imperial capital, was broken, and she followed the other six kings to the foot of Jiuyi Mountain. Before passing on the national treasure, she cut off her own head.The colorless city was opened - all the Kongsang people in the imperial capital, including her young son, all turned into ghosts and entered a different world at that moment, and began a century-long sleep. In a blink of an eye, so many years have passed... Her life continued in another way, but it had nothing to do with that merman.However, the fate of life is so unpredictable, and today, after life and death have separated, they actually brought them together again.

Holding the hand of the Red King, Baiying bent down to look at the queen in red, with complex changes in her eyes - as the two highest-ranking women in the Kongsang royal family, they have similar fates to some extent. "That's great," the crown princess of Kongsang smiled and whispered, "I wish you happiness." ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― In Yecheng during the war, there are blood and corpses everywhere. Ye Saier was running wildly on the street, and there was the sound of horseshoes approaching behind him.After being rescued from Wu Luo's room, she ran wildly, lost her sense of direction, and her consciousness was blank——while running wildly, one hand subconsciously covered the shattered front of her chest, blushing with shame and anger It still hasn't faded on the face.

After running wildly for an hour, her physical strength reached its limit and she could no longer support it.He had to stop in an alley, panting violently with his hands on the wall, his face was bloodless. "God, leave me alone..." She shook her hand vigorously, trying to let go of the severed hand that was tightly holding onto her wrist all the way, "I can't do it anymore... those, those pursuers are coming... you Run! If you are caught by those people...if you are caught by those people..." Ye Saier leaned against the door, and spoke respectfully to the severed hand that was holding her wrist tightly—it was this hand that came out of the stone box that appeared in the Wuluo Mansion at a critical moment, and pulled out the golden hook hanging on the bedside. The scimitar on her head stabbed the pig that was pressing down on her, and then led her all the way to escape here.

"No, Yesaier! Listen to me!" But the severed hand made a silent gesture, calm and unquestionable: "As soon as they leave, you go to Shangshufang near the West Market—— There is a courtyard with a pair of money-giving boys attached to the door." While guarding the outside, the hand said quickly: "Go there and meet Na Sheng and the others." That tone was not decisive, Ye Saier looked at the talking hand and nodded in awe. "Hurry up and hide." Hearing the sound of riding boots outside, he made a gesture with his hand, "I'll go and lure them away. Once they leave, you run away!"
