As if he had been floating for a long time, he suddenly became aware of himself. Qingcheng tried his best to open his eyes. To his surprise, what he saw was the haggard Xuanyuan Chengtian.
He looked at her with a slight smile, his eyes full of joy: "Qingcheng, you're awake!"
His head was cloudy and his whole body was in pain, as if he had experienced an inexplicable disaster.
Disaster! There was a flash of lightning in his mind. Qingcheng struggled to sit up in panic and raised his hands in front of his eyes: Sure enough, the purple marks on his wrists were shocking. Everything was just the reality of what he thought was a dream! The remaining fragments in his memory still lingered.
On Bei Mu Kuang’s evil face!
Looking at Xuanyuan Chengtian, he was suddenly startled, and couldn't help but wonder: "Is the war on the border over?" The unusually hoarse voice startled Qingcheng: it was like a dry well that had dried up for a long time, revealing the roughness buried in the sand.
astringent!
Xuanyuan Chengtian smiled and shook his head slightly.
"Then why are you back again?" Qingcheng's voice became louder, and then he lowered his eyes and said in a lower voice: "You shouldn't!"
"Qingcheng!" Xuanyuan Chengtian called softly, moved closer and gently embraced her with a smile: "I shouldn't have left!"
Qingcheng looked up at him and was suddenly speechless.
As if he suddenly remembered, Qingcheng gently pushed Xuanyuan Chengtian away and stared into his bloodshot eyes: "Why do you know every time I get hurt, and you can tell me in the shortest time?
Come back in a hurry?" Qingcheng has been wondering about this question for a long time, stuffing it in his chest like cotton wool. This time he finally asked it!
"Didn't you Fei Ge pass the letter to me?" Xuanyuan Chengtian supported Qingcheng, looked at her doubtfully, and asked a little surprised.
"I didn't!" Qingcheng said, feeling a chill run through his body: "If I don't, then who is that person? Who knows everything about me in that way? It's like she is by her side all the time."
Suddenly, Qingcheng shuddered, as if every move he made was exposed to the eyes of others, and everything was under his control.
"Qingcheng, don't be afraid." Xuanyuan Chengtian looked at the somewhat panicked Qingcheng with a flash of distress in his eyes, and stroked the broken hair behind her ears as if to comfort him: "No matter who it is, think about it, he shouldn't have any ill intentions, if
If it weren't for him, even if something happened to you and you left me, I probably wouldn't know about it! In the end, I still have to thank him!"
You should be grateful to the person who always cared about you and reported the news to Xuanyuan Chengtian whenever there was any trouble! If he hadn't reported the news this time, he wouldn't have been rescued! Qingcheng thought, but there was still a suppressed interest in his heart: What if
It doesn't matter, so what is the purpose of everything he does?
When Qingcheng was thinking about it, he raised his head to look at Butterfly's bright eyes, which seemed to be deep in thought. Qingcheng felt happy in his heart: "Butterfly, do you think that every time when I am in danger, I send a message to Chengtian's people?"
It’s you!”
Butterfly was startled by the sudden question, and his stepfather was a little panicked. Finally he reacted and waved his hand at Qingcheng: "It's not me! How could it be me! When the lady was taken away, I was also injured by the guards and was guarded.
Get up!"
Who could it be? Qingcheng thought hard and couldn't figure it out.
"Qingcheng, don't think about it! The most important thing is that you are well now!" Xuanyuan Chengtian gently helped her lie down as if he was distressed, then turned around, walked a few steps and slammed his fist on the desk next to him: "Here we go.
He is the one who spreads rumors to confuse the public and caused Qingcheng to fall into disaster. I have to investigate carefully!"
"Miss! There is something that Butterfly doesn't know whether to talk about or not!" Butterfly on the side glanced at Xuanyuan Chengtian and asked Qingcheng timidly.
Qingcheng smiled, even though this girl was by her side every day
, but is still so afraid of Xuanyuan Chengtian. A few years ago, Qingcheng mentioned that he wanted her to leave the palace and marry her to a good family, but just mentioned, Butterfly cried and begged her not to drive her away, as if she was parting from life or death!
Qingcheng's heart softened, and she was really reluctant to let Butterfly leave. With this delay, Butterfly passed the age of marriage for women in ancient times! No, she is already in her twenties this year!
"Say it! Butterfly!" Qingcheng looked at her, a woman who was like his sister, with a smile.
"Miss!" Butterfly raised his drooped head and looked at Qingcheng with fearful eyes: "That night! The night before Miss was captured by the Queen Mother, Butterfly saw countless will-o'-the-wisps floating from the mountain to the north of the palace.
, floating high in the air, floating with the wind, looking extremely scary
! Butterfly originally wanted to inform the lady the next day, but unexpectedly the Queen Mother captured the lady and took her to worship the heaven! Miss, Butterfly was wondering if this was some kind of omen!" Butterfly finished speaking in a low voice and glanced at Xuanyuan worriedly.
Chengtian then looked at Qingcheng intently, as if waiting for her answer.
Linshan to the north is part of the Imperial Garden of the Imperial Palace. It was split into two halves when the earth's crust changed. One half became part of the Imperial Garden, and the other half faced it across the vast expanse of the Milky Way.
Qingcheng was silent!
Xuanyuan Chengtian's expression changed drastically, and his face suddenly became serious.
Qingcheng doesn't believe that there are really ghosts in this world, but since the butterfly has seen it, there must be an explanation!
Suddenly, Qingcheng remembered that night when she was watching the stars by Linghu Lake, she was dazzled by the moving stars, and also remembered the fearful saying in the Book of Destiny that the people said: "If evildoers cause trouble, God will punish them."
The note connected everything together, a ray of light flashed through, and Qingcheng suddenly became enlightened. He couldn't help but shudder in his heart: Someone actually wanted to use such means to harm himself! And the means were not ordinary brilliant!
Xuanyuan Chengtian frowned, he came over and smiled at Qingcheng as if to comfort him: "You have a good rest, I'm going to see the Queen Mother!" After saying that, he turned around and told Butterfly and went out!
Qingcheng could see that Xuanyuan Chengtian was joking with her as if nothing had happened, and left pretending to be relaxed! But Qingcheng knew that he should know some truth! Even if she had not yet had time to say what was in her heart!
*****
Butterfly went out several times and came back, but she shook her head and said that nothing happened in the palace! This time she went out again! She didn't come back for a long time, and Qingcheng began to feel uneasy! Who could that person be?
"Miss, Miss!" Butterfly ran out of breath and shouted all the way over. He stopped in front of Qingcheng's bed and gasped: "Your Majesty, he..."
"Butterfly, please tell me! What happened to the Emperor?" Qingcheng was about to lift the quilt and struggled to sit up.
"Miss, no!" Butterfly was so frightened that he quickly stepped forward and pushed her down: "Your Majesty, he has imprisoned the Queen!"
"Ah!" This news was expected by Qingcheng, but also unexpected by Qingcheng. What was expected was that Linshan in the north is close to the harem, and the only one who spreads rumors with the Kongming Lantern is the harem.
Woman, who else! Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Chengtian knew it all clearly, so he quickly determined that it was Yunchu and ordered her to be imprisoned!
If Qingcheng remembers correctly, since the Queen Mother became seriously ill, Yun Chu has been living in Taixin Palace and guarding the Queen Mother. If Yun Chu used the Kongming Lantern to frame Qingcheng and imprisoned her, what would the Queen Mother think? Would she believe it?
