Li Chengqi looked at Mingzhu. In fact, he couldn't see Mingzhu's face clearly in such dim light, but he knew that he didn't have to really see the thin blue-black line because the thin line was already engraved on the
As long as the poison remains in his heart, his heart will be soaked in the poison for a day.
"Mingzhu, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to detoxify you." Li Chengqi said in a deep voice.
On the contrary, Mingzhu looked very free and easy. She smiled softly:
"Everyone has to die, it's just sooner or later, so I don't particularly care about this matter, as long as I can finish everything I want to do before I die."
When Mingzhu mentioned the word death, Li Chengqi's heart trembled heavily. He opened his mouth, trying to stop Mingzhu from saying such an unlucky word. But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
, because Li Chengqi felt that he should never say those empty words to Mingzhu, but should really help her solve this problem.
Seeing Li Chengqi's sad expression, Mingzhu deliberately changed the topic:
"If everything goes well, I can convince Anle to send me to the palace tomorrow," Mingzhu suddenly lowered her voice: "Is it convenient to talk here?"
Li Chengqi nodded:
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to you."
"That's good," Mingzhu approached Li Chengqi and said in a deep voice, "I will find a way to use the hands of Anle and Empress Wei to poison the emperor. As long as the emperor dies, you will know what to do with the rest.
Bar?"
Li Chengqi was shocked after hearing Mingzhu's words, and his expression suddenly changed. He stared at Mingzhu closely and blurted out:
"What did you say!"
Mingzhu was startled by him and couldn't help but regret that he was too direct. Seeing Mingzhu's hesitation, Li Chengqi quickly slowed down his tone:
"Don't be afraid, I don't mean anything else." After a moment, Li Chengqi added, "Mingzhu, please believe that you are completely free in front of me, no matter what you say or do, even if you do
What you did is really unacceptable to me, and I will only give you good advice and will not do anything to hurt you."
Li Chengqi's confession, which was almost like an oath, made Mingzhu feel a little more at ease. She sighed softly and asked:
"Do you think I'm being too cruel?"
"Cruel?" Li Chengqi was puzzled.
"Yes, I instigated my daughter to poison her biological father. Am I too cruel?" Mingzhu seemed to be asking Li Chengqi, and also seemed to be asking her own heart.
Li Chengqi stretched out a hand and put it on Mingzhu's shoulder:
"Mingzhu, look at me."
Mingzhu didn't understand what Li Chengqi meant, and raised her head to look at him blankly. She saw Li Chengqi's eyes shining in the darkness, like two jet black precious gems:
"Mingzhu, please don't torture yourself for this matter. I grew up in the royal family. I know them well. There is not much family affection between them. Moreover, whether it is Anle or Queen Wei, they are all guilty.
, committed numerous crimes, and will never be redeemed. And although the current emperor sits on the throne, he has not played the role of an emperor at all, let alone fulfilled the responsibilities of an emperor. He allowed his wife and daughter to do evil, resulting in
The Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline and was surrounded by crises. Such people are unforgivable to the royal family!" Li Chengqi wanted to erase the guilt in Mingzhu's heart, so he continued without waiting for Mingzhu to speak, "Besides, I and I
The third brother has always been a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh. It is only a matter of time before they get rid of us, so if you do this, you are helping us and saving us."
Mingzhu is still a little listless:
"I understand what you mean, thank you for comforting me."
Li Chengqi didn't want to see Mingzhu like this. After thinking for a while, he came up with an idea:
"Mingzhu, let's do this. You can find an opportunity to reveal your thoughts to Anle. If she is really a filial daughter - it doesn't need to be that she is a filial daughter. As long as she is a normal person, she will immediately reject your proposal righteously.
, and even want to convict you. Your plan will no longer be implemented. But if she easily accepts your suggestion, it means that she has already buried this idea in her heart. Even without you,
She will also look for opportunities to kill her father. If this is the case, you don't have to blame yourself anymore."
Mingzhu felt that Li Chengqi's last suggestion was very reasonable and couldn't help but nodded:
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Seeing Mingzhu untied his knot, Li Chengqi also felt happy. Suddenly, Mingzhu raised his head and looked at Li Chengqi deeply:
"Thank you."
Li Chengqi was stunned:
"Thank you for what? I didn't do anything?"
Mingzhu smiled and shook her head:
"No, you did it, and you did it a lot. In order to prevent me from feeling guilty, you told me so much over and over again. Thank you for helping me so carefully."
Li Chengqi looked at Mingzhu without saying a word, but his eyes full of doting and affection said everything.
Yan took his bodyguards to live in Qingcheng Mountain, because after he told Master Zhong about the dreams he had, Master Zhong plunged into the study and studied for an entire afternoon. When he came out, he only said one sentence to Yan
talk:
"If you are not in a hurry to leave, just stay here for a few days. I found some clues from your dream. Maybe this time I can really see the pearl..." Master Zhong seemed to be impatient.
When Yan replied, he returned to the house where he usually practiced.
For Yan, Master Zhong's words undoubtedly gave him great hope, so he will never leave. He will definitely wait here until the moment when Master Zhong can truly get in touch with Mingzhu.
Although Master Zhong's small courtyard is not big, it has several guest rooms, so it is not a problem for Yan and the others to stay there. Master Zhong's disciples will prepare and deliver three meals a day.
Qingcheng Mountain is really a magical place. Its unique tranquility made Yan's long-suffering heart calm down unconsciously. As night fell, he fell asleep peacefully.
Suddenly, Yan seemed to see Mingzhu again! This time, it was in a garden as beautiful as a fairyland. It was already midnight. Mingzhu was standing opposite a man by the lake, talking attentively.
‘Who is this man? It’s so late, why is Mingzhu still staying in a place like this with him?’ Even in the dream, Homura still felt a very uncomfortable feeling in his heart.
It was like the feeling of the camera gradually zooming out in a movie. Homura felt that Mingzhu and the man were becoming more and more clear. He found that the man's appearance and demeanor were particularly outstanding, especially the way he looked at Mingzhu.
So affectionate, so doting, even so familiar! Yes, it is familiar, because Yan knows that he usually looks at Mingzhu with that look in his eyes!
And Mingzhu was actually a little panicked when that man looked at her! Yan felt a sudden pain in her heart! How could Mingzhu feel flustered? She had always acted freely in front of him! Could it be, couldn't it? Yan didn't
I dare not think about it any more, because if I continue to think about it, the answer must be - Mingzhu has a different feeling for this man than for others!
This thought made Homura tormented!
At this time, Mingzhu suddenly spoke:
"Okay, now that I've finished talking about the things in the palace, let me tell you about my origins."
"Okay." Upon hearing that Mingzhu was about to tell her origins, the man also seemed very interested.
Mingzhu frowned slightly, as if thinking about how to speak. After pondering for a moment, she suddenly bent down and picked up a stone and said to the man:
"Come and see."
There was a large stone standing quietly by the lake not far away from them. The moonlight shone on the blue-white surface of the stone, coating the stone with a layer of white light and shadow. Mingzhu walked to the stone.
Use the small pebble in your hand to draw a vertical line on the surface of the stone:
"Look, this vertical line is like today." Mingzhu said.
Li Chengqi nodded.
Mingzhu drew another line to the left of the vertical line:
"This line seems like it was yesterday. Do you understand what I mean?"
"clear."
The pearl started to draw continuously again, and soon, the left side of the vertical line was covered with vertical lines of different lengths:
"These lines represent last year, the year before last, ten years ago, a hundred years ago, a thousand years ago."
Seeing Li Chengqi nod again, Mingzhu drew many vertical lines on the right side of the vertical line:
"These represent tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, one year from now, two years from now, and a thousand years from now. Do you understand?"
"clear."
"Okay," Mingzhu took a deep breath, "Now, let me tell you the most important point." Mingzhu pressed the vertical line representing a thousand years in the future with her hand, word by word.
He said, "I am from this place."
No matter how smart and calm Li Chengqi was, he couldn't help but feel a little confused when he heard such things. Seeing Li Chengqi's confused look, Mingzhu couldn't help but feel discouraged. She said in frustration:
"You don't understand what I'm saying, do you? Or do you think my words are too ridiculous?"
"Wait a minute, don't be anxious." Li Chengqi said softly. He walked closer to the stone, looked at the slightly messy vertical lines carefully for a while, then stretched out a finger and pressed on the
The vertical line represents today:
"You mean, I'm here," then he stretched out his other hand and pressed it on the vertical line representing a thousand years later, "and you were originally here." Li Chengqi's hand
Moving slowly, he slid from a thousand years later to the vertical line representing today, and his two hands overlapped, "You traveled through a thousand years before you came to me!"
