On this same night, there was another place in Chang'an City that was also lit with bright lights, and that was Mingzhu's home.
After sending Fu'er away, Mingzhu plunged into the workroom. The so-called workroom was actually a secret room built by the owner of the house in the past. I don't know what this secret room was used for in the past. Anyway, the four
The walls are all thick stone walls with no windows, but there are good ventilation holes, so Mingzhu transformed this place into a studio, specializing in making jewelry here.
"Mingzhu, what are you going to do?" Lizi has been busy beside Mingzhu, but the more he looks at it, the weirder he gets, because Mingzhu keeps making and destroying, making and destroying again! He has been working with her for so long
Regarding jewelry, Lizi has never seen Mingzhu in such confusion. Normally, she always looks confident. What happened today?
"Alas," Mingzhu sighed, "I still can't figure out what the thing I want to make looks like."
"Then, why don't you draw the picture first?" Lizi now also understands Mingzhu's working procedures.
Mingzhu shook her head:
"Usually when making jewelry, as long as the printed item is the same as the picture, it will definitely achieve the effect I want. But this time, no matter what I thought of in my mind, the printed effect is not what I want."
Mingzhu looked at the gold in her hand and murmured:
“What exactly is it supposed to look like?”
"What kind of jewelry are you looking for?"
"I want to put on a mask." Mingzhu said.
"mask?"
"Yes. Tonight Fu'er went to Princess Anle's mansion. I think Princess Anle will see me soon. I want to make a mask for myself, and then I will always wear this mask when I appear in front of others.
Never take it off."
"Why is this?" Li Zi couldn't understand why a good person wears a mask all day long.
Mingzhu was also tired. She dropped the gold in her hand, leaned on the chair, looked at the flickering candlelight in front of her eyes, and murmured in her mouth. She didn't know whether she was talking to Lizi or to herself:
"My goal is to make Li Longji the prince, so that I can save my mother. In order to achieve this goal, I can help him at all costs, but the problem is, even if I am willing to pay everything, how can I help him?
?Although I think I am very smart, and I think I will definitely be able to help Li Longji, but this is a competition between emperor, queen, prince, and princess, and I am not even qualified to participate. So, I need to attract people first.
get people's attention, and then get closer to my goal step by step! But why should I attract people's attention? A girl can either dominate the country, be extremely wealthy, or be born into a noble family, but I have nothing, so I just
There is only one last way left, mystery! So I must keep my mystery firmly, just like the witches in medieval Europe, who relied on their mystery and wisdom to enter the palaces of nobility and royalty!"
At this time, a voice suddenly rang in Mingzhu's heart:
'Fang Mingzhu, don't forget, those witches you want to imitate may have had great success, but they didn't get a good death. They all ended up being burned at the stake!'
Mingzhu knew that this was her own reason reminding her. But Mingzhu smiled slightly:
"I don't care, really, I don't care at all what my final fate will be. I only focus on one thing now, saving my mother, and I will do whatever it takes to do that!"
"Mingzhu, are you okay?"
Lizi's voice woke up Mingzhu, and she realized that she had been distracted. She saw Lizi's expression was particularly serious, and she couldn't help laughing:
"I'm fine, I just thought of my mother. What, did it scare you?"
"The look on your face just now was so scary." Li Zi stared at Mingzhu's face closely, "Mingzhu, no matter what happens, don't bear it alone. Speak up and let's find a solution together, okay?"
"Okay." Mingzhu nodded gratefully, but said nothing because she knew that what she was going to do was too complicated and beyond Lizi's ability to understand.
Before she returned to the Tang Dynasty, Master Zhong told her in detail the task she was going to complete:
"Mingzhu, your mother is in coma because your Fang family suffered a curse in the Tang Dynasty. There is only one way to save your mother. In the deep palace of the Tang Dynasty, there is a national treasure. You bring it back and put it in your
The curse can only be lifted on mother..."
"I'm going to steal it!" Before Master Zhong could finish speaking, Mingzhu's mind was filled with the idea of breaking through the Tang Dynasty's palace with powerful firepower and then snatching away their national treasure.
"Absolutely not!" Master Zhong interrupted Mingzhu's imagination without hesitation, "You need a specific person to hand him over to you."
"A specific person? Who?"
"Li Longji."
"Tang Minghuang?"
"Yes, that's him."
"But why did he hand over the national treasure to me with his own hands?" Mingzhu was confused.
"This is the task you have to complete, to help Li Longji ascend to the throne of prince, and then you can make this request to him."
"Ascend to the throne of prince?"
"Yes, only if he hands the treasure to you on the night he ascends to the throne of prince can he save your mother. This is fate!"
Mingzhu doesn't understand what fate is, and she doesn't bother to understand it. She only cares about one thing - how can she save her mother. Now that she understands her mission, she comes without hesitation.
Tang Dynasty.
To be honest, Mingzhu came back with the determination to die. In order to save her mother, she was really not afraid of death. But after she really returned to the Tang Dynasty, she discovered that death is not terrible. She must live to face one after another.
Problems are much harder than death.
"Mingzhu, Mingzhu," Lizi interrupted Fang Mingzhu's memories again. Mingzhu looked back and saw that Lizi was thinking about something with the gold.
"Lizi, what's wrong?"
"Mingzhu, have you ever thought of a problem? Even if you are wearing a mask, if they want to see your appearance, they will take it off. According to Fu'er, that Princess Anle is so unreasonable.
She might order someone to take off your mask by force, so what should you do?"
"Yeah, what should I do?" Mingzhu really didn't think of this problem. Suddenly, a very terrible decision appeared in her mind, "I fixed the mask on my face!"
