Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Passionate and Spare Hate Since Ancient Times

Chang Yi waited all night without seeing A-Heng, and was in a state of panic. Seeing A-Heng's return, he felt relieved, and said slightly reproachfully, "Where did you go? I've been waiting for you." Ah Heng bowed his head and said nothing, Yi Peng walked over with a smile, "By the way, I don't know if Fourth Brother has heard that Chi You is not dead." Chang Yi asked Ah Heng in shock: "Really?" Yi Peng said: "Yesterday many people saw Chi You standing on the top of Zezhou City. Didn't my little sister go to Zezhou yesterday? Didn't you see Chi You?"

Chang Yi stared at Ah Heng, his eyes were full of sadness, and after a while, he turned and left without saying a word. Ah Heng stared at Yi Peng, and went to chase Chang Yi. "Fourth brother, fourth brother..." Chang Yi was expressionless, turned a deaf ear, went straight into the room, turned around and was about to close the door, Ah Heng forced the door and squeezed in.Chang Yi sat in front of the desk, looking at his nose and heart with his eyes, as if in meditation.A-Heng smiled apologetically, talking about things for a while, and saying things for a while, Chang Yi didn't make a sound.

"Fourth brother, say something." Changyi was just silent, without a single word of scolding, but Ah Heng felt it hurt more than sharp sword gouging out her heart. Ever since she was a child, Changyi had been obedient to her, no matter what she did or how much trouble she caused, Changyi would just With a bit of helplessness, he smiled and said, "Who told you that you are my sister?" Ah Heng shook Chang Yi's arm and begged tearfully: "Fourth brother, you can beat me and scold me, don't ignore me, now I only have you as an elder brother." Chang Yi's voice choked up, "I don't have a single brother, don't forget how your elder brother died!"

Ah Heng's body trembled violently, and said in a low voice: "I will never forget." "Where were you last night?" Ah Heng looked sad and said nothing. Changyi said word by word: "Heng, I will never forgive Chi You!" Ah Heng buried her head deeply, "I know, so I have made it clear to him that this is the last time I see him." Changyi's anger gradually subsided, but his heart became more and more sad.He didn't want to force the younger sister, but he really couldn't accept that the younger sister was with Chi You who killed the elder brother.

Ban Xia tapped on the window, "Wang Ji." Ah Heng cheered up and opened the window, "What's the matter?" Ban Xia whispered a few words in A-Heng's ear, A-Heng nodded, turned around and said to Chang Yi: "Fourth brother, you take Lie Yang to find Yi Peng, help me hold him back, I'll go out and do something matter." Seeing Ah Heng's solemn expression, Chang Yi knew that Ban Xia was personally trained by her eldest brother, so she immediately stood up, "You go, leave Yi Peng to me and Lie Yang." A-Heng followed Ban Xia out of the post house, and walked into the dense forest, a plain-clothed woman was waiting in the dark, and it turned out to be Yun Sang who hadn't heard from her for many days.

Ah Heng was careful, seeing the red marks on the wrists of Yun Sang's hands, she asked in surprise: "What happened, who is so bold as to chain you?" Yun Sang said lightly: "Yipeng wanted to stop Qingyang from marrying me, and Houtu happened to want to stop him too. Yipeng told Houtu that as long as he could confine me for ten days, he could make the Yellow Emperor change his mind, and Houtu locked me up." Yesterday, I took advantage of him rushing out, so I took the opportunity to escape. Later, I heard that he was going to help Chi You retreat. These years, he and Chi You had fought fiercely for military power. I didn't expect him to go to rescue Chi You Chi You, fortunately he is confused about trivial matters, but he has not lost his major integrity."

Ah Heng asked: "Yi Peng obstructed the marriage because he hated us deeply, but why did Hou Tu help Yi Peng?" Yun Sang hated Xuanyuan and flooded Zezhou, and sneered coldly: "Are you afraid that Houtu will turn to Yipeng and become your enemy? Houtu has always thought of your kindness of protecting you when you were young, and hates Yipeng The insidiousness, will never be with Yi Peng, this time they are just using each other." "I, I...then he..." "After all, you are the concubine of the Xuanyuan Clan. This is a matter within our Shennong Clan. You don't need to ask any more questions."

Sadness welled up in Ah Heng's heart, the war had already torn everything apart, even the friendship between her and Yun Sang was not spared. Seeing A-Heng's expression, Yun Sang thought of the old friendship, and felt sad, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only talk about happy things to ease the atmosphere, "Chi You is still alive, congratulations, sister." A-Heng naturally understood Yun Sang's intentions, cheered up, and smiled, "Congratulations to sister too." Yun Sang nodded with a smile, "Mu Jin is really a little girl. When she heard that Chi You was still alive, she immediately ran to Zezhou, but she didn't see Chi You. She sent me a message angrily saying that a demon girl took away the seriously injured Chi You, you want me to send more people to her to search all the witches." Yun Sang sighed, "I guess you have realized that Mu Jin is infatuated with Chi You, but Chi You doesn't appreciate it at all. She doesn't know about Chi You and you. , if something offends you in the future, I am not afraid that you will blame her, but I am worried about Chi You, please ask Chi You to forgive me."

Ah Heng said in a low voice: "It is impossible for Chi You and I to be together, from now on, I am me and he is him." Yun Sang was silent. This war changed the world and their fate. After a while, she asked: "Where is Chi You now? How long will it take for his injury to heal?" "I asked Xiaoyao to take him to a safe place to recover from his injuries. With his weird skills, maybe he will be fully healed in three to five years." Yun Sang pondered for a long time, and said: "You immediately call the princes of Shennong to gather at Zijinding, and I will publicly announce that I agree to marry Qingyang."

"Have you really thought about it?" "The Yellow Emperor's army is still outside the city of Zezhou. If it were you, would you be able to reject the Yellow Emperor under the current circumstances? You and I both understand that the reason why the Yellow Emperor asked Qingyang to marry me was to make it easier to subdue the various tribes of Shennong. Agreeing to marry Qingyang is only in exchange for a period of temporary peace, buying time for Chi You." Ah Heng was silent for a moment and said: "I will immediately ask Fourth Brother to summon the princes of Shennong."

"Tell the Yellow Emperor that although I agreed to the marriage, I will still mourn for Yufeng for a few more years, and ask him to respect Shennong's etiquette." "it is good!" When Ah Heng and Yun Sang arrived at Zijinding, they saw Changyi and Shennong's lords were already there. Yun Sang snorted coldly, and said: "A few days ago, these people couldn't invite three or four invitations, but now Xuanyuan gave an order, and they all arrived. We finally won a battle, but they became more and more servile, for fear that the Yellow Emperor would take his anger out on us." them." Ah Heng lowered her head and said, "I am Gao Xin's concubine, this is a matter for Xuanyuan and Shennong, so I won't go in." Yun Sang nodded and walked towards the main hall. The people in the hall turned their heads when they heard the sound, and saw Yun Sang wearing a plain skirt, standing at the entrance of the hall, looking graceful and graceful. Captured by her radiance, everyone couldn't help standing up one by one. Yun Sang suddenly remembered when she was a child, when she broke into this hall for the first time.She pointed to the jade platform where the throne was placed and asked her father, "Why don't the guards allow me to go up and play?" The father said: "Because those who stand there have to bear the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of all the people in the world, and you are too young to carry them." "Then when I grow up and can move my back, can I stand there?" The royal father flicked her nose and said with a smile, "It's best never to have that day." With a solemn expression, Yun Sang stepped over the high threshold and walked into the main hall. The lotus steps moved lightly, the fragrance was lightly scented, and the wind moved the belt, filling the room with fragrance. Walking past the stunned men until she came to the jade platform, she looked at the empty throne, but she seemed to see her father sitting on the throne, staring at her with a smile. She didn't understand until today Seeing the pain in the father's eyes. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, stepped onto the jade platform, and turned around with a smile—— "Wang Ji!" Hou Tu yelled outside the hall, and his figure leaped down from mid-air, heading straight for the door of the hall. Yun Sangjuli looked down at the crowd, as if he hadn't heard Houtu's cry at all, and announced loudly: "I, Shennong Yunsang, is willing to marry Xuanyuan Qingyang as my concubine." The whole hall erupted into joyous congratulations, which drowned out the sincere cries of Hou Tuqing. In a word, the vicissitudes of life and youth wither. The rear soldier's body abruptly stopped in the center of the hall, his face was ashen, staring straight at Yun Sang, why?Why do you refuse to believe that I can hold Shennong Mountain?Why do you refuse to believe that I can protect the people of Shennong?Why won't you let me give you a piece of peace? Yun Sang looked at him with a smile, her eyes were determined, I am the eldest princess of Shennong, this is my responsibility!I have my things to do, and you have yours to do too! Laughter, congratulations, swaying figures, resplendent palaces, bright pearls... Hou Tu turned around with difficulty, dragged his stiff body, walked through the noisy crowd step by step, and walked out of the hall. His mount, the snake, was waiting at the side, but he turned a blind eye to it. He just walked down the mountain with stiff steps along the steps. With the winding steps down, his figure became shorter, smaller, and gradually disappeared. Yun Sang stood on the high jade steps, staring at the outside of the hall with a smile on his face and his back straight. After Chang Yi and Ah Heng returned to Xuanyuan City, the courtiers who heard the news and came to congratulate them were packed.Changyi exchanged greetings with them one by one, and everyone surrounded Changyi while laughing and walking, which was very lively, while Yipeng's figure seemed lonely, following behind not far or close. Because of the flood in Zezhou, the Yellow Emperor was not happy, and everyone was busy alienating Yi Peng.Just a few days ago, because of Yi Peng's outstanding military exploits, the Yellow Emperor frequently rewarded him, and the courtiers still valued him in everything, but in a blink of an eye, all the glory seemed to be a thing of the past. A-Heng observed him quietly, Yi Peng soon noticed, looked at A-Heng, smiled coldly, his eyes were full of ridicule and disdain. Ah Heng felt chills in her heart, both she and Yi Peng knew that the Yellow Emperor seemed to reprimand Yi Peng severely, but in fact there was no punishment that actually hurt Yi Peng, everything was just the beginning! The Yellow Emperor rewarded Chang Yi heavily.When all the etiquette was over and only their family was left in the hall, Huang Di said to Ah Heng: "I wanted you to accompany your mother, but you have lived here for a year, and Shaohao sent envoys to pick you up, and I also It’s not good to force him to stay. Besides, Qingyang is still recuperating in the ruins to heal his wounds, so you should go back to Gaoxin early to take care of him.” Ah Heng kowtowed to the Yellow Emperor to bid farewell, "It's time to go back, this time staying for so long, Shaohao has deliberately made an exception." Huang Di helped Ah Heng up, and said gently: "You and Shaohao are also suffering a lot. Not long after we got married, something happened to Yu Yuan. It just happened to you, and something happened to Qingyang. Now everything is at peace, and you should too. Spend good time with Shaohao and have a baby early, otherwise I will be powerless even if I want to help you fight for the next position." Ah Heng said meekly: "Father Wang said so." Huang Di sighed: "You girl is becoming more and more dishonest now. I know what you are thinking. You think I am going for Gao Xin's throne. I am the king of a country who is proficient in tactics, but Heng'er , I am also your father, and I am doing this for your own good." Huang Di stroked Ah Heng's head gently, "There is another Emperor Jun living on Wushen Mountain, Shaohao's throne is not secure, he must seek With the support of all ethnic groups in Gaoxin, accepting a concubine is the simplest and most effective way, you will not be his only woman, if something really happens, the father is beyond his reach, only children will give you long-term support." Ah Heng remained silent, the corners of her lips were tightly pursed, revealing her stubbornness.Huang Di stared at her, suddenly felt very tired, waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and go to Chao Yunfeng, and then accompany your mother, let her..." Huang Di was silent, and he didn't finish his words for a long time. Unaware of the passage of time, Ah Heng raised his head and looked at him strangely. Huang Di came back to his senses and said, "I advise her to cherish her body." "Yes!" Ah Heng bowed and kowtowed, and quietly exited the hall. In the early morning of the second day, Ah Heng bid farewell to his mother and brother, and returned to Gaoxin. It was already sunset when they arrived at Cheng'en Palace in Wushen Mountain, and the palace attendant who came to welcome her reported: "Your Majesty is still discussing matters, let the concubine eat first, and there is no need to wait for him." Ah Heng nodded, and went straight back to the bedroom. Along the way, there are row upon row of carved beams and painted buildings, scattered pavilions, cypresses, cypresses, and luxuriant trees, exotic flowers and grasses are fragrant, and bamboo paths and lotus canals lead to another cave.Cheng'en Palace is the most beautiful palace Ah Heng has ever seen. Everyone in the world subconsciously believes that the people who live in this palace must live luxuriously and interestingly, but Ah Heng suspects that Shaohao has no idea what is inside this palace. Life is just alternating back and forth between the bedroom and the main hall. After A-Heng had eaten and washed, Shaohao still didn't come back.She was bored alone, so she just took advantage of the moonlight and went outside for a walk. Before knowing the way, he came to a familiar garden——Yiqing Garden, which was Emperor Jun's favorite garden.Probably because Shaohao never came, and no concubines came to play, the palace people were a little lazy, the vegetation grew too lush, and even the path was covered. Ah Heng walked slowly along the meandering river. Under the moonlit night, the bamboo forest on the opposite side of the river bank was lush.The breeze blew in, the bamboo branches swayed, and the figure danced. Ah Heng couldn't help thinking, what was that Mr. Pian Pian who used to read on the bluestone by the riverside doing?If he still lived in this palace, on such a night, he would definitely bring a pipe flute, stepping on the moonlight, singing under the bamboo by the water. "What are you thinking? Ever since I walked into this garden, I have seen you standing here in a daze." Shaohao, dressed in white, came under the moonlight and stopped right next to the bluestone on the river bank.Behind him is the shadow of whirling bamboos moving gently in the wind, the green bamboos are like layers of bamboo, which complements his elegant demeanor, very similar to that person. Ah Heng sighed silently, and did not answer Shaohao's question. In the silent night, the gurgling water, the bamboo forest and the reeds are intertwined, like a piece of music. Shaohao looked down at the moon shadow moving with the waves in the stream, his eyes were a little dazed, "Suddenly realized that I haven't calmed down to listen to the sound of running water for a long time." Ah Heng sat sideways on the bluestone on the bank, "I made a decision on the marriage between Shennong and Xuanyuan without consulting you." Shaohao said: "You are right. If the Yellow Emperor wants to subdue Shennong, he must combine strength and softness. Marriage is imperative. Either Qingyang or Yipeng, life or death, since there is only one way to go, Then we'll just have to go." Ah Heng said: "Father said that your current situation is very difficult. It is best to divide and win over various families by conferring concubines. Do you have a woman you like?" Shaohao stared at Ah Heng, lowered his eyes, and said indifferently: "As an emperor, don't talk about personal affairs. My father was gentle and affectionate all his life, and even though the Chang Xi sisters controlled the harem, even the court was influenced by the harem." The Yellow Emperor was a wise man, but he was indecisive in dealing with the Tongyu family and your mother, so that the dispute in the harem almost became a disaster for the world. With so many lessons learned from the past, how can I still dare to be emotional with a woman?" Ah Heng looked at Shaohao, he kept saying not to talk about personal affairs, but since he became the throne, he has ignored the instability of the throne, and he just refuses to accept concubines. kind of affair. "Remember our previous agreement? I will help you ascend the throne, and you will help me leave. In the current situation, it is impossible for me to leave. Can you change the conditions?" Shaohao's heart skipped a beat, he stabilized his mind, and asked, "What conditions?" Ah Heng said: "I'm pregnant." Shaohao remained silent, unable to see the change in his heart. Ah Heng said: "I know that you are required to treat your child as if you were a strong person. I just want to ask you to give him your surname so that he can grow up in peace. I will write a blood letter to explain his life experience and guarantee He will never touch the throne..." Shaohao said: "He is the child who is connected with me by flesh and blood, I said 'From now on, I will be Qingyang'." With tears in A-Heng's eyes, he knelt down towards Shaohao, "Thank you." But his body went limp, and he slid straight to the ground. Shaohao hurriedly hugged her, felt her pulse, and asked in surprise, "What's your pulse like?" So messy? Should I summon a doctor right now?" Ah Heng forced a smile, "Don't forget whose apprentice I am, I know my body, I just took some medicine..." She whispered a few words in Shaohao's ear. Shaohao immediately asked, "Will your life be in danger?" Ah Heng laughed, "Which woman doesn't risk her life to give birth to a child? It will be fine, you don't have to worry about it, you just have to play well with me." Shaohao picked her up, sent her back to the bedroom, watched the maid put her to rest, and was about to turn around to leave when Ah Heng grabbed his sleeve and looked at him. He came to his senses and told the waiting maids: "I will rest here today." The maids looked at each other, and after helping Shaohao undress and wash, they retreated with a smile. In the darkness, Ah-Heng and Shaohao lay side by side on the couch, each having their own concerns. The medicine that A-Heng took during the day caused an attack. Although she was exhausted, she couldn't fall asleep. Shaohao turned over, lay on his side, put his hand on A-Heng's forehead, the soft power unique to Shui Ling gradually entered into A-Heng's body, Ah-Heng suddenly felt that his restless heart was much more peaceful, and drowsiness also came up. "thanks." Shaohao asked: "Does Chi You know about the child?" Ah Heng was about to fall asleep, and said in a daze, "I don't know." "So are you going to tell him?" There was no sound, Ah-Heng was already in a deep sleep, Shaohao's hand was still on her forehead, and after a long while, he withdrew his hand. Shaohao lightly turned over and lay with his back to Ah Heng. The moonlight outside the window seemed to be very bright, but through the pine-green window drawers, it still flowed in like quicksilver, reflecting a layer of gloomy green light on the ground.The shadows of the verdant trees outside the window moved lightly with the wind, and the light on the ground rippled brightly and darkly like water waves.He remembered that after they got married, the first time they were open and honest, and when they made a covenant, it was also a moonlit night, and that night, he also had a sleepless night. If he could go back in time and give him another chance to choose, what would his choice be? "Is it the princess, or your wife?" "A wife is the only one in a lifetime." Ah Heng's clear and delicate voice seemed to still ring in his ears, but he could no longer answer it again. Because Yun Sang agreed to Qingyang's marriage proposal, Huangdi stopped attacking Shennong, and the war between Xuanyuan and Shennong was temporarily suspended.Shaohao took advantage of this opportunity to start drastic reforms. Behind the seemingly peaceful situation, a bigger storm is quietly brewing, but right now, after all, it is rare peace. Six months later, Ah Heng received a letter from Chang Yi, stating that Chang Pu was pregnant.In the letter, Changyi said happily that since she knew that Changpu was pregnant, her mother's spirit has improved and her health has improved a lot. She is busy raising silkworms and weaving cloth, making all kinds of clothes for the child. Ah Heng held the letter and smiled. Another six months later, Shaohao announced to all the officials that Ah Heng was pregnant. The news spread to Xuanyuan Kingdom, and the Yellow Emperor immediately sent envoys to visit Ah Heng with all kinds of precious medicinal herbs. Along with the envoy came a witch medical. The witch doctor asked Shaohao to allow him to take a look at Ah Heng's body, but Shaohao didn't say anything, and Gao Xin's court physician became upset, thinking that the witch doctor questioned their abilities and humiliated Gao Xin's medical skills. The messenger hurriedly said with an apologetic smile: "It's true that the Yellow Emperor and the empress are concerned about their daughter. The witch doctor just visits the concubine so that he can go back and tell the emperor and empress, so that the emperor and empress can rest assured." The court doctor still wanted to ridicule, Shaohao smiled and intervened: "Reporting your diagnosis is always separated by a layer, let the witch doctor take a look at it in person, so as to reply to the Yellow Emperor's inquiry, the princess is thousands of miles away from home, so parents can worry less It's filial piety." The court physician angrily stopped talking. The witch doctor finished his pulse for the first time, his expression was confused, and the corners of his brows and eyes were full of uneasiness. Shaohao who was sitting beside him hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" The witch doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and stammered, "No, it's nothing, I just need to look at it again." Several court physicians smiled contemptuously.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the witch doctor made a careful diagnosis again. After a long time, he had to admit that his diagnosis result was consistent with that of Gao Xin's court doctor. Ah Heng was six months pregnant, her husband and children were all healthy, it was just blood. A slight deficiency is not a serious problem, just take care of it carefully. It was obviously good news, but the witch doctor couldn't hide his disappointment, he tried his best to deal with Shaohao's questioning, and left in a hurry. More than two years later, Changpu successfully gave birth to a boy, who was named Zhuanxu by the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor sent envoys to Gaoxin again to visit A-Heng, and this time the envoys brought two old nuns who knew medical skills, saying that they were ordered by the Yellow Emperor to take care of A-Heng.A-Heng knew that it was Yi Peng who was playing tricks in the dark again, but he just used this to prove everything, so he let the two nuns follow in and out. In April of the following year, under the care of a group of doctors, Ah Heng went into labor and gave birth to a child. The child was very healthy, but Ah Heng escaped death during the delivery.If it weren't for the formation formed by Shaohao's spiritual power and the water jade of returning to the ruins to protect Ah-Heng's mind, Ah-Heng might not have survived to give birth to the child.Afraid of taking responsibility, the two nuns were so frightened that they didn't dare to touch Ah Heng. They just stood beside him stupidly. After seeing the child's birth with their own eyes, they immediately escaped from the bedroom. Shaohao heard the cry of the child and hurried in. Ah Heng's whole body was drenched in sweat, and he was unconscious. Shaohao held her hand and sent spiritual power into her body. Ah Heng regained some consciousness, and murmured: "Child, child!" Shaohao immediately called the maid loudly, and the maid hurriedly carried the newly washed child to Shaohao, and said happily, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are a concubine." Shaohao held the child in his arms, it was strange to say that the crying child fell silent immediately, his black eyes stared at Shaohao, and his pink mouth grinned.Shaohao smiled and showed the child to Ah Heng, "It's a girl." A-Heng forcefully opened her eyes, and carefully looked at the child's facial features. She took out the Zhuyan Flower, bit her middle finger, and smeared the blood on the flower. The Zhuyan Flower turned into a peach blossom the size of a fingernail. Because of A-Heng's blood, it became more and more beautiful and crystal clear, as if it had just been plucked from a branch. Shaohao said anxiously: "What do you want to do? You have already consumed too much spiritual energy, don't..." Ah Heng put a peach blossom the size of a fingernail between the child's eyebrows, and the whole peach blossom became as red as a soldering iron, and the child burst into tears from the heat. A-Heng pressed the peach blossom with her middle finger, and pushed the flower in, the child's face turned blue from the pain, and she cried hoarsely.Ah Heng's face was full of tears and sweat, his body was on the verge of falling, but he still gritted his teeth, holding on to his breath, and slowly pushed the Zhuyanhua into the child's forehead. "Give me a drop of your heart and soul, help me seal it, seal it..." Ah Heng's body softened, and he passed out. Shaohao hurriedly held Ah Heng's hand with one hand, and sent the spiritual power into Ah Heng's body. While biting his left middle finger, he forced out the purest heart blood, and dripped it into the peach blossom-shaped wound on the child's forehead. The peach blossom imprint began Healed quickly, the child was too painful to cry, just opened his small mouth, hissing inhalation. Shaohao put the bloody middle finger into the child's mouth, and the child sucked spontaneously.He fed her a drop of his heart, and the child's complexion slowly recovered. She held Shaohao's finger in her little hand, and she smiled again with crooked eyebrows.The wound on his forehead had completely healed, and it looked like a shallow birthmark in the shape of a peach blossom. Shaohao teased the child, and said in a low voice: "I hope you will always be smiling like this all your life, so that you can live up to your mother who sacrificed her life to protect you." For the Protoss, childbirth is a matter that consumes a lot of spiritual power, and women with slightly lower spiritual power almost have to risk their lives. This is why the population of the Protoss has always been sparse despite their long lifespan.Ah Heng used medicine to forcefully keep the child in her body, which delayed her birth and went against the sky, which caused great harm to her body. Fortunately, she was proficient in medicine, and Shaohao's spiritual power was strong, and she was protected by the side, so she escaped death. Although his life was saved, since the delivery, A-Heng's body suffered severe injuries and he remained unconscious.Shaohao would bring Ah Heng to Tanggu every night and soak her body in Tanggu water.No matter how busy he is, Shaohao will take care of A-Heng himself, and never do anything else, only the maid Ban Xia helps to clean his body or change his clothes. Shaohao named the child Xiaoyao. As soon as Xiaoyao was born, the mother fell into a coma. Shaohao took great care of his daughter and took him with him every day. Even inside and outside the court knew that Shaohao loved the eldest princess.After more than a year, Xiao Yao had already started babbling, and Ah Heng gradually regained consciousness. When Shaohao entered the bedroom, Ah Heng was leaning on the couch and playing with Xiao Yao. Xiaoyao was playing with a silver bell in her hand, when she saw Shaohao, she smiled, opened her arms to hug her, waving her tender white arms like lotus root joints, making a crisp tinkling sound.Shaohao hugged her, she hugged Shaohao's neck and giggled, the laughter was melodious and forgetful. Shaohao also couldn't help smiling, and said to Ah Heng: "That day when you were unconscious, Zong Bo came to ask the child's name, and I suddenly remembered that when I was a blacksmith, I heard folk songs sung by the locals. I forgot, just remember the very beginning of the sentence "Peach's Yaoyao, scorching its flowers", casually gave the child a nickname, called Xiaoyao. Zong Bo came to ask the child's name several times, if you are in good spirits, you can Think about it." Ah Heng teased Xiao Yao while thinking, and after a while said: "Call it Jiuyao!" Shaohao asked: "Jiuyao? Jiuli's Jiu, Taozhiyaoyao's Yaoyao?" "No, it's these two words." Ah Heng wrote stroke by stroke on the couch for Shaohao to read: Jiuyao. When Jiuyao was three years old, Shaohao announced to the world that Jiuyao was canonized as the eldest princess, and she enjoyed four hundred meals.Although she is a girl, because she is the first child of King Gao Xin, the celebration is very grand, and the celebration lasted for three days. On the first day, a ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth was held to pray for Jiuyao. On the second day, a royal family banquet was held in the Cheng'en Palace. Hundreds of people from the Gaoxin clan gathered. Holding the jug, Zhongrong staggered to Shaohao, and in front of everyone, pretended to be crazy while drinking and said: "Jiuyao is the eldest daughter, but until now, my father has never seen her. There are private rumors in the court that the father did not move to Qiyuan voluntarily. In the past few years, our brothers have not seen the father, and today is such an important occasion, and the father did not attend. Is there really something shameful?" The hall fell silent for a moment, the timid ones were too frightened to lift their heads, and Shaohao's twenty or so younger brothers all stared at him covetously. Ah Heng was astonished, she never expected that the conflicts between Shaohao and the other brothers were already so intense, Zhong Rong would not hesitate to tear his face in public and offend the others, but his actions were considered extremely vicious.The Gaoxin royal family is all here today, if Shaohao mishandled himself and committed the crime of forcing the palace to abdicate and imprisoning his father, I am afraid that even if he seizes the throne by force of the army, everyone will betray their relatives and all hearts will be scattered. Shaohao didn't change his face, and said with a smile: "Father is avoiding living in Qiyuan due to illness. I didn't see you just for the sake of self-cultivation. Who told you that Father won't come today? It's just that he came late because of his weak body. You If you don’t believe me, you can ask your father face to face later.” While Shaohao was talking, several palace attendants brought in a soft couch, on which the former Emperor Jun sat. The people in the main hall all stood up excitedly, and Zhong Rong's expressions were even more passionate, with tears in their eyes. The palace attendant put the couch next to Shaohao, and everyone knelt down, but they didn't know what to call, so they could only kowtow three times. Emperor Jun raised his hand to everyone with a smile, "Get up!" His speech and behavior were still the same as that of Mr. Pianpian back then, but his head was full of white hair and his face was old. Zhong Rong knelt and crawled to Emperor Jun's bed, his voice choked with sobs: "My father, my second elder brother and my mother are all imprisoned under the Five Gods Mountain. Is this really your will?" "It was my will. Yanlong replaced the palace guards behind my back, intending to monitor my daily life. It is a heinous crime." Zhong Rong wept and said: "Second brother has absolutely no bad intentions towards father, he is just too scared..." Zhong Rong glanced at Shaohao and swallowed the rest of the words.Emperor Jun said: "Go down, today is a day of great joy, don't talk about these unhappy things." Zhongrong refused to leave, and two guards came to drag him. Zhongrong held on to Emperor Jun's robe tightly, "Father, are you really abdicating to Shaohao due to illness? Tell everyone, all our brothers died today." it's here!" His blunt but sharp question made the entire hall silent, and a needle could be heard.Ah Heng was so nervous that his whole body went stiff, as long as he said one word, Shaohao would become a sinner through the ages, and everything he did would be for naught. Emperor Jun said sharply: "Who is behind the scenes who is uneasy and kindly slandering our father-son relationship? Not only did the court physicians consult with you that day, but you also recommended well-known private doctors to treat me. I really can't handle state affairs. Shaohao, do you think you are more talented than Shaohao?" Emperor Jun's eyes swept over the faces of more than twenty sons one by one, and they all knelt down one by one. Zhong Rong yelled: "I don't believe it! Father, there must be something wrong with this. You told the Queen yourself that you wanted to pass on the throne..." Shaohao stared at the guards, Zhongrong's hands were still tightly grabbing Emperor Jun's robe, but he was forcefully torn away by several guards and dragged out of the hall. Zhongrong's cries could still be faintly heard from outside the hall, and the people in the hall held their breath and remained silent. Seeing the tense atmosphere, Ah Heng whispered to Ban Xia, "Hurry up and take Jiu Yao out." The maid carried Jiuyao to Emperor Jun. Jiuyao was sleeping soundly. Emperor Jun looked down for a while, and slid his finger over the child's face. The look in his eyes was very loving. Everyone said flatteringly: "It looks like grandpa. Woolen cloth!" Emperor Jun raised his head and said to Shaohao: "It seems like yesterday the palace lady just hugged you in front of me. Congratulations, I have a son. Everyone said that he looks like me, so a little bit bigger, which makes people feel distressed and affectionate. I am so happy that I don't know what to do." What to do, I'm afraid of hurting you even if I hold you, but...it's been so long, everything has changed!" Everyone laughed, only Ah Heng couldn't laugh. Emperor Jun looked tired, waved his hand to let the maid take the child down, and told the palace servants: "I'm tired, go back to Qiyuan." Everyone knelt down and sent them off. Shaohao took Ah Heng's hand and sent him outside the hall, Ah Heng stared at Shaohao, no wonder he insisted on going his own way and spared no expense to celebrate Xiao Yao's birthday, this is probably his real intention of holding a grand celebration for the child. On the third day, people all over the world celebrate together. They will light the lanterns they made with their own hands and put them into the river, wishing Gaoxin's great princess to grow up healthy and safe, and praying that she will bring happiness and peace to Gaoxin. A-Heng made a lotus lantern with her own hands, and incorporated all her wish of praying for her daughter's safety and happiness into the lotus lantern. When night fell, Shaohao and Ah Heng went to the tower, countless people had already gathered under the city, waiting to see the lamp made by the concubine for Wang Ji. Shaohao smiled and said: "Today I am just like you, just a father who wishes his daughter to grow up safely, thank you for coming to pray for my daughter together." The people of Gaoxin cheered loudly. A-Heng put the lantern made of ice cream on the palm of his hand, Shaohao lit the lantern, as the light became brighter and brighter, it was like a blue lotus blooming in A-Heng's palm, reflecting a pair of Bi people, It makes people feel that the world is not a fairyland. Shaohao bends over to pick up Xiaoyao, and walks to the edge of the tower, while Ah Heng carefully holds the lotus lantern and walks beside him. Chi You stood among the crowd, looking up at the tower. In the dark night, looking up from the city tower, I couldn’t see clearly the appearance of the three of them. I could only see a blue lotus blooming in midair. In the hazy blue light, their figures passed through the carved beams and painted buildings. The man was handsome and handsome, and the woman Gentle and graceful, coupled with a small shadow moving restlessly in the father's arms, it looks very beautiful and warm. The people of Gaoxin stared at them intently, until the blue light got farther and farther away, and their family of three disappeared in Yuyu Qionglou, and they reluctantly dispersed. Chi You still stood still, as if he didn't believe what he saw just now.However, the moment Shaohao lit the lamp just now, in the instant of brightness, he clearly saw the tenderness and affection in the corners of A-Heng's eyes and brows. Chi You just woke up yesterday. When he woke up, he was lying in the dark water in the north, looking up at the blue sky, he felt refreshed, and his limbs and bones were full of strength.He didn't know how long he had been in a deep sleep, but he clearly remembered that before he fell asleep, Ah Heng held his hand tightly and stared at him tenderly. Chi You couldn't help laughing, jumped on Xiaoyao's back, and said to Xiaoyao almost showing off: "I'm going home! Although your family is big, you are the only one, and my family is small, but there is Ah Heng!" Galloping all the way, the sky is high and the earth is wide, and the mountains and rivers are smiling. When he saw the peach blossoms all over the sky on Jiuli Mountain, he felt his eyes burning, and he couldn't wait for Xiaoyao to land, so he jumped down directly and rushed into the peach forest. "A-Heng, A-Heng! I'm back! I'm home!" The bamboo building is deserted, the Biluo curtains are ragged and broken, the azure gauze is covered with bird droppings, and the vegetable garden is overgrown with weeds. If it weren't for the bluestone ridges, it wouldn't be a vegetable garden at all.The bamboo fence was neglected, and more than half of it had collapsed. The red roses grew in a mess, and even the road in front of the door was blocked. Only the wind chimes under the eaves are still tinkling, the sound is sad and desolate. Chi You stared blankly at his "home", feeling flustered, how long has he been in a deep sleep?Has something happened to Ah Heng? He flew to the peach blossom tree, which was full of peach blossoms, all in full bloom.But there was no one under the peach blossom tree, only a line of blood red writing: Cheng'en Hall, that is the palace where Shaohao lived, the most beautiful palace in the world. "I don't believe it!" Chi You swung out his palm, and the peach blossom tree rose from its roots. He jumped onto Xiaoyao and rushed to Gaoxin. 一路而来，到处都是张灯结彩，欢声笑语，人人都议论着少昊为女儿举行盛大的生辰庆典。 蚩尤高兴地松了口气，少昊已经又纳妃了，抓着个人问：“少昊娶的是哪族女子？” “轩辕族啊！”对方的眼神奇怪，如看白痴。 蚩尤的心一沉，“又娶了一个轩辕族的女子？”难道阿珩出了意外……他不敢再想。 对方笑了，“天下皆知，少昊只有一妃，轩辕族的王姬啊！长王姬是他们的女儿！” 蚩尤犹如被天打雷劈，耳朵嗡嗡直响，不管有多少事实摆在他面前，他都不相信，阿珩亲手布置了九黎的竹楼，亲口告诉他，这是他们的家。 可是，在城楼下，他亲眼看到少昊和阿珩抱着女儿，笑着接受所有百姓的欢呼祝福。他们一家三口正大光明的温馨刺痛了他的双眼，他第一次意识到，有些东西是他永远给不了阿珩的。 难道这就是阿珩背弃他的原因？ 高辛多水，城楼依水而建，北面就是一条宽阔的河，少昊和阿珩带着小夭沿着台阶，走到水岸边。 少昊把小夭放到地上，又怕她会掉到水里，双手仍扶着她，阿珩蹲在台阶上，把蓝色莲花灯放到了水面上。 少昊对阿珩说：“许个愿吧。” 阿珩闭着眼睛，虔诚地祈求女儿一生平安，她睁开眼睛，“许好了。” 少昊指着花灯，对小夭说：“和爹爹一起用力推，把灯放出去，好不好？” 小夭十分喜欢花灯亮晶晶的样子，不肯推走，反倒用小手不停地去抓灯。 少昊笑着去抓她的手，也不是真抓，只是一挡一挡地逗着她玩，不让她被火烫着，小夭兴奋得尖叫，咯咯直笑。阿珩也不禁笑起来。 少昊看小夭玩累了，才握住她的小手去推灯，哄着她说：“乖，推一下，待会儿爹爹给你个更好玩的东西。” 少昊和小夭一起把灯推出去，花灯飘入了河流中，向着远处飘去。 少昊抱着小夭站起来，和阿珩并肩而立，目送着蓝色的莲花越飘越远，慢慢汇入花灯的海洋中，直到再分不清楚哪盏灯是他们的，才转身打算离去，却见台阶上站着一个气宇轩昂的红衣男子，不知道他如何进来的，也不知道他究竟在那里站了多久。 少昊感受到对方身上强大的灵力，下意识的反应就是凝聚灵力，想要击退擅自闯入者，却发现阿珩呼吸急促，身子轻颤，立即明白来的是谁。 少昊把小夭交给阿珩，走到台阶下去欣赏河上的灯景。 蚩尤沿阶而下，脸色苍白，双目漆黑，里面熊熊燃烧着悲伤和愤怒。 “为什么？”他的声音嘶哑低沉，强自压抑着怒气，如一头受伤的野兽。 阿珩紧紧抱着小夭，眼中珠泪盈盈，一言不发。 小夭从不畏生，乌溜溜的眼珠盯着蚩尤，伸手去摸他。 温软的小手抚到他的脸上，蚩尤只觉心中莫名的激荡，不禁握住了小夭的手，“这是不是我的孩子？”虽然明知道孩子的出生时间不可能是他的孩子，可仍抱着一丝渺茫的希望。 几团火灵凝聚的彩色火球突然飞上了天空，绽放出最绚烂的烟花，金黄的菊花、朱红的牡丹、洁白的梅花……一时间，漫天缤纷，光华璀璨。 小夭喜不自禁，指着天空，扭头冲着少昊大叫：“爹，爹。” 少昊下意识地回身，对小夭微笑。 在突然而至的光亮中，小夭的面容一清二楚，和少昊有七八分相像，只要看到她的脸就知道她是谁的孩子。 小夭双手伸向少昊，“爹爹。”要少昊抱她。 蚩尤觉得犹如坠入了最寒冷的冰窟，身子无法抑制地直打寒颤，双眸中熊熊燃烧的火焰全部熄灭，明明四周灯火璀璨，可天地在他眼中骤然变得漆黑。 西陵珩背叛了他，欺骗了他！ 一个瞬间，蚩尤的眼神变得冷血残酷，起了杀心。 阿珩抱着小夭惊恐地后退，蚩尤却一把抓过小夭，扔给少昊。 少昊察觉有异，可蚩尤的灵力比过去更强大了，等少昊急急接住小夭，已经根本来不及救阿珩。 蚩尤和阿珩身周全是旋转的风刃，把他们围得密不透风，几把尖刀从背后插向阿珩的心脏，已经刺入了她的肌肤。 阿珩感受到刀刃入骨之痛，神色竟然一松，好似终于摆脱了所有的束缚和重担，没有丝毫抵抗，只是目不转睛地凝视着蚩尤，眼中却滴下一串串泪来。 那泪珠好似打到了蚩尤最柔软的心尖上，他整个心都涟漪激荡，灵气竟然无以为继。风刃消失，阿珩背上已是鲜血淋漓，滴滴答答直往下流。 蚩尤盯着阿珩，一步步后退，惨笑着说：“你明明知道让我相信一个人有多难！我对视若父亲的炎帝、亲如兄弟的榆罔都仍有戒备，可对你……”他的手狠狠地敲打着心口，好似要把心砸开，摊开给阿珩看，“我把你放在了这里。如果要反悔为什么不早点？为什么等到我撤掉了所有的防备，任凭你长驱直入，霸占了我身体里最柔软的地方时，你再来随意践踏？别人即使砍下我的头、剥了我的皮，我都不疼！而你……我会很疼！”蚩尤面色惨白，看着阿珩，带着隐隐的祈求，似乎求她告诉他一句，她没有背叛他！ 阿珩紧咬着唇，一言不发，只身子轻轻而颤。小夭根本不明白短短一瞬母亲已经在生死间走了一遭，反而被蚩尤荡起的风刃逗笑，拍着小手嚷：“爹爹，你看，风在跳舞，红衣叔叔好厉害！” 小夭的娇声软语入耳，蚩尤犹如被雷击，身子摇晃了一下，叔叔？阿珩的女儿叫他叔叔！ 他盯着阿珩，几次抬手，却手颤得根本无法凝聚灵力，他悲笑着摇头，“西陵珩，你对我许的诺言，只要我不允许你收回，你就休想收回！”大笑声中，他跃上逍遥，绝然而去。 少昊手心发凉，他早听闻蚩尤性情乖戾，狡诈凶残，却是第一次真正领略到蚩尤的决绝激烈，他对阿珩至情至性，可以随时为阿珩死，可转眼间，只因阿珩背叛了他，他也会随时杀死阿珩。 少昊看阿珩失魂落魄地呆呆站着，以为她害怕，一边帮阿珩疗伤，一边说道：“晚上我在屋子外设一个阵法，只要蚩尤来，我就会立即发觉。” 阿珩摇摇头，依旧盯着蚩尤消失的方向，眼中都是焦虑。少昊这才发现阿珩并不是害怕，她竟然在担忧蚩尤。 少昊和阿珩回到城楼，少昊本想直接送阿珩回承恩宫，可小夭看到下面的景致，哭闹着不肯离开。少昊遂让侍女送阿珩先回去，他带着小夭再玩一会儿。 从城楼上，居高临下地看去，河面上的灯光越来越多，越来越密，星星点点，就好似无数颗星星在闪耀。 河边都是放灯和赏灯的人群。顽童们提着灯笼，彼此追逐打闹；少女们三五成群，用自己精心制作的花灯来显示自己的心灵手巧；男儿们沿着河道，边走边看，既是看灯，更是看那邻村的少女；最多的是一家老小，拿着各色各样的花灯，扶老携幼地来放灯。 少昊凝视着脚下的人间星河图，眼神越变越冷，渐渐下定了决心。蚩尤已经归来，所剩的时间不多了，他不能再犹豫不决了！ 阿珩回到寝殿，命所有侍女都退下，一个人呆呆地坐着，早知道要面对蚩尤的愤怒，所以她已经准备好了一切说辞，可真见到他时，她把什么都忘记了。 屋内漆黑，阿珩的心却更漆黑，而且是永远不会有天亮的黑暗。 不知道坐了多久，忽而听到从天际传来一声若有若无的大鹏清鸣，她心头一颤，看向窗户。 皎洁的月光，将树影映在松绿的窗纱上，随着微风婆娑舞动，一瞬后，一个人影从远而近，慢慢笼罩了整个窗屉子，高大魁梧的身影充满了力量，好似下一瞬就会破窗而入，却一直都未动，带着悲伤，凝固成了一幅画。 阿珩紧张得全身僵硬，一动不能动，呼吸却越来越急促。窗外的人显然也听到了，“你醒了？”是蚩尤的声音。 阿珩默不作声，蚩尤缓缓道：“我不是来杀你的。” “你……那你去而复返想要做什么？”阿珩努力让自己的声音听起来冰冷无情。 “往城楼外看到你和少昊，还有……你们的女儿，我失控了。被天上的寒风一吹才冷静下来，阿珩，我知道你不会背叛我们的誓言，你一定有什么不得已的苦衷。” “难道摆在眼前的事实你都看不到吗？我和少昊已经有女儿了。” “我看到了，就算你和少昊有了女儿也没关系，我知道你一定有这么做的苦衷，一定是我不在的这几年发生了什么事情，要怪也只能怪我没有在你身边，没有保护你。不过，我现在已经回来了，不管什么困难，都交给我。” 阿珩身子一颤，眼泪涌进了眼眶，多疑的蚩尤、骄傲的蚩尤、凶残的蚩尤啊，却真正做到了信她、敬她，爱她。 蚩尤等了一会儿，听不到屋内的声音，柔声说道：“阿珩，不管你有什么苦衷，都告诉我，我们总会想出解决的办法，难道你不相信我的能力吗？” 阿珩凝视着窗纱上蚩尤的身影，泪眼凄迷，唯一的解决办法就是让大哥复活，可天下没有不死药。蚩尤以为所有的困难都可以克服，却不知道再强大的神力也无法超越生死。 “阿珩？”蚩尤等不到阿珩的回答，伸手想要推开窗户。 阿珩跳起，用力按在窗上，她不敢见他，她怕在他的双眸前，她所有的勇气都会崩溃。 “我不想再见你！” “你撒谎！如果你不想见我，你在城楼下看到我时，为什么要哭？你的眼泪是为谁而流？” 阿珩转过身，用背抵着窗户，眼神空洞地凝望着黑暗，一字字说着早就准备好的说辞，“我是一半愧疚、一半害怕。” “愧疚什么？” “不管我和少昊在一起是因为什么，如今我们已经有了女儿，我对他也日久生情，我很愧疚对不起你，可一切不可能再挽回。” “害怕呢？” “害怕会伤害到女儿。如今在我心中，第一重要的是女儿，你如果真想帮我、保护我，那么就请忘记我，不要再来找我，否则让人看到，我会名节全毁，伤害到我的女儿。” 蚩尤默不作声，只紊乱的呼吸声时急促、时缓慢地传来，阿珩用力地抵着窗户，身体犹如化作了一块岩石，一动不敢动，好似要封住的不是窗户，而是自己的心。 随着一声鹏鸟啼叫，呼吸声消失。 阿珩依旧用力地抵着窗户，很久后，她才好像突然惊醒，猛地转身，痴痴看着窗户，看着那树影婆娑，看着那月色阑珊，却再无那个身影，她眼中的泪水终于簌簌而落。
