She is still dressed in red. However, the beauty that she once had seemed to be a symbol of the king's evil machinations, but now, it looks more like it was made of sad blood and tears.
She is not here, where has she gone?
Shao Kefan walked around the pit in a daze. Just now he flew around and around the pit, and searched all over the dense forest in the pit, but could not see Jian Xin.
A few months passed. Under the nourishment of the spirit of the water source, the huge pit one foot deep was filled with various types of tree species. Colorful tree crowns sprouted two feet from the top of the pit. There were countless vines at the bottom and walls of the pit.
Spreading and entwining, they become one piece and exude a fresh fragrance.
The breath of life was once burned out by the spiritual fire, but now it is so abundant that it is almost dazzling.
After walking heavily around the pit with a radius of ten miles twice, Shao Kefan stopped at the starting point and stared at the yellow-green sky in trance.
Jian Xin! Ever since you passed away, I have been looking for you, even when you came back. Could it be that I have been looking for you my whole life?
Now, where will she be?
After standing there in silence for a long time, Shao Kefan gave up the idea of looking for her and returned to the palace alone. It was like thousands of rays of light piercing his heart. When he became invisible, he was so distracted that he almost fell from a height of ten thousand feet.
For three years, as an undead, she and that person...them...
At the beginning, no one could have imagined that things would be like this.
Shao Kefan sat dejectedly in front of the desk, his face ashen.
Hearing a noise in the study, Goya opened the door carefully and walked in. He couldn't help but be startled when he saw the king's appearance. He said softly, "My king, I will make you a cup of hot tea. Please wait a moment..."
"Get out." Shao Kefan slapped the table hard, his eyes ready to spit fire, "Who told you to come in?"
Gomi had already picked up the tea cup. After being frightened, his hand shook and the tea cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces. He thought that his head was about to fall to the ground. He was about to kneel down and beg for mercy, but he saw the monarch sitting lonely, with a dazed expression.
His hollow eyes seemed to be able to suck people in, and the charming red clothes made him look like a lone fire fox walking in the wilderness.
In an instant, the girl who was twenty years old was touched by her heartstrings. She forgot to leave the place of right and wrong quickly and just stared at him blankly.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the girl hadn't left yet. Shao Kefan glanced at her and said in a calm, soft and cold tone, "Why don't you get out? However, I can let you get out head first."
"Yeah! Yes." Goya came to his senses and hurriedly ran out the door.
Shao Kefan breathed a long sigh of relief. He thought of something and his thoughts paused.
Just now, Kaoya's eyes...
It seems that someone needs to be replaced.
Ruoxi Cave. The light wooden bridge is swaying, as if time is passing between the past and the future.
The woman swinging on the bridge stopped, stood up, and gazed at the vines on the wall of the round platform with some regret, recalling that back then, Willow picked off a dragon spit bead and pinned it in her hair.
As his soul disappeared, all memories became profound and distant, and the weakness of touch turned into heart-gnawing pain.
However, it’s been seven hours since we came out, so it’s time to go back!
She didn't mean to ignore him, she just didn't know how to face him.
The original estrangement plus the fact that she was now Willow's wife.
Several times, she wanted to stay in a place where Qin Weiluo's breath remained, waiting quietly for eternity. However, thinking that he might search for her everywhere and miss the state affairs, her heart softened again.
If she were still in the Xilin Gol Prairie, then she would have successfully graduated from university, joined the workforce, gotten married and had children. Her life would be as dull as boiled water, but she would be content and happy.
However, living in the wilderness, she only suffered one setback after another, accomplishing nothing, wasting her years, and having a sad heart.
What can she do here? She doesn't know the tricks and doesn't want to be ugly, so she can only do nothing.
She thought of the disdainful expression the swordsman named Ji Chen looked at her, as if he was mocking her for being a waste who only knew sadness, and her heart ached.
Yes, she yearned for a simple and contented life and had no hope of great achievements, but she never thought of becoming a waste.
If she can't return to that world, what can she do?
Intermittent sobs sounded at the door of Qiming Palace, and the girl who was stopped by the guard burst into tears, "The king quietly replaced Guo Mi. Why? It was wrong to break the tea cup, but Guo Mi promises not to
If you do it again, please ask the king for mercy and let Gomi continue to serve the king."
She could not figure out how, although Wang was vicious, he was not a stingy person, how could he replace her with a slave who was nearly fifty years old just because of a tea cup.
"Please come back, this is not a place for you to mess around." A guard moved the sword across her chest and asked in a harsh tone, "Do you need me to pull it out?"
Goya was so frightened that his legs weakened and he knelt on the ground, still unwilling to leave. He said sadly, "Please, the king, let Gomi serve the king..."
Shao Kefan took the tea from the slave Daqing's hand, and as soon as he brought it to his mouth, he frowned and put it down, "She's not leaving yet?"
Daqing sighed and said softly, "This girl has been serving the king for more than a year. The king suddenly replaced her. It's hard for her to adapt!"
Shao Kefan snorted, stood up, and walked towards the door of the hall. Daqing followed respectfully while looking at Guo Mi with disgust.
The ungrateful girl wanted to take back this hot potato position from him, but there was no way. Jun Wu joked that the king would not take back his decision.
Seeing the man in red walking out, Kaoya's voice suddenly stopped, his eyes were pleading and helpless, and tears were still on his cheeks.
"What?" A cold and familiar voice sounded, "I arranged you to the music room. The monthly salary there is no less than staying in Qiming Palace. Are you still not satisfied?"
"No." Gomi shook his head, "Gomi just wanted to serve the king. Gomi broke the tea cup. He knew he was wrong. He will be careful next time and ask for mercy from the king."
Shao Kefan glanced at her kneeling legs and said, "Cang Teng has abolished the kneeling ceremony. Stand up."
Kaoya nodded hurriedly and stood up in a hurry, but his body was trembling, "I beg the king..."
"That's enough." Shao Kefan flicked his sleeves, turned and walked inside, "Take her away while I don't want to kill anyone right now."
Daqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Kaoya's cries were getting farther and farther away.
Suddenly feeling a chill on his back, Shao Kefan frowned, turned around, and said with surprise, "Jian Xin, you're back." However, the knot in his heart tugged at him, and his expression instantly turned gloomy.
Jian Xin looked at him with cold eyes, "The king is so majestic that he can really decide the fate of others at will."
Shao Kefan knew that she must be grievances about Guo Mi, and he didn't want to explain the reason. He just said in a deep voice, "I still have something to ask you!"
Daqing stepped back knowingly.
Jian Xin stared at him, waiting for him to speak, the light in her eyes dimming and brightening.
Shao Kefan turned his face sideways, trying his best to suppress the deep pain in his heart, and said quietly, "Qin Weiluo did not go to reincarnation. Did you... come together?"
Jian Xin's face suddenly turned pale.
How did he know? She and Qin Weiluo had been to the palace many times. Although he had extraordinary abilities, he was not the kind of person who could understand the three realms.
Shao Kefan turned around, noticed her expression, smiled bitterly and with difficulty, "Tell me?"
He already understood in his heart, he just wanted to hear her admit it personally.
Jian Xin's body swayed, bit her lip, and replied, "Yes, I married him."
As if she had done something wrong, she lowered her head.
Thunder strikes!
Marry? She marries? He proposed to her twice, but didn't she refuse both times? However, she actually told him that she was married to an enemy he had always been jealous of.
For him, her marriage was an extremely painful joke.
Could it be that she has found a sense of belonging in Qin Weiluo?
What have they experienced together in the past three years?
Shao Kefan took two steps back and covered his chest. However, the retrograde flow of energy and blood was unstoppable and surged out.
No acupoints were sealed, no breathing was adjusted, just blood flowing out of the mouth.
Why is this happening?
Jian Xin hurriedly came to him and supported him. Shao Kefan glared hard, pushed her away, and yelled, "You married him, what else do you care about me?"
This was the first time he rejected her. Jian Xin was stunned on the spot, at a loss for a moment, and heard him laugh miserably, "Haha... I'm so stupid, I thought your soul was wandering alone and helpless, but unexpectedly...
...Unexpectedly...do you know...do you know?...I have always missed you and been in pain for you..."
After returning, Jian Xin took the initiative to hug him for the first time, and tapped the acupuncture point on his chest, "I know, I have come to the palace to see you many times, and I have always been by your side."
The bleeding slowly stopped.
Shao Kefan was stunned and smiled bitterly, "Then why did you marry him?"
"Because..." Jian Xin shook her head, "People and ghosts are separated from each other. Although I miss you, I have no choice. At that time, how can I still think that I belong to the Yang world?"
It suddenly occurred to me that her death happened because he started the war. If he had changed his mind, nothing that happened later would have happened.
Shao Kefan closed his eyes and slowly uttered a few words, "Where is he now?"
"Being broken up by Lingzhao, that big hole..." Jian Xin paused, her secret was revealed, and she didn't know how to face him even more.
Shao Kefan sighed, "It's just as I expected."
The ferocious smile at the corner of his mouth disappeared in a flash, and his soul disappeared, no longer existed, and could not be reincarnated. Qin Weiluo, is this the consequences of robbing my woman?
Jian Xin stared at him, unsure of his intentions, "Are you happy?"
Shao Kefan didn't answer her question. He frowned and thought for a moment, and finally said with determination, "I won't stop you from going to see him in the future, but you have to agree to one condition."
"What?" Jian Xin was a little surprised.
"We must come back." Shao Kefan's brows almost knitted together. There was a faint trace of blood wiped by the silk handkerchief at the corner of his mouth, but his lips were rosy and charming, which made him look even more miserable.
Jian Xin nodded silently, tears falling slowly. She did nothing, but she slipped into the whirlpool of fate and couldn't help it.
