There were not many people in the cold palace, so Qing Huan and Emperor Jingheng had been together for three years, but no one noticed. Even her female official and aunt thought she just liked to run around and play. In the past three years, Emperor Jing Heng's progress can be said to have been rapid. Under Qing Huan's intentional teaching, although he could not hide his gloomy intentions, on the surface he was not much different from a normal person.

Because of Qing Huan's deliberate recuperation, Emperor Jing Heng's body was also stretched and stretched. Since he had sufficient food, he was no longer the thin and yellow-skinned appearance he used to have. The thin layer of shading on his eyeballs gave him a strange beauty in addition to being handsome.

But his eyes always follow Qing Huan. To Qing Huan, Emperor Jing Heng was just a poor child who had been treated unfairly, but to Emperor Jing Heng, she was the only sunshine in his life. How can someone who has been in the dark for so long be willing to let the sun go out of his life?

However, the world is impermanent, and the son of the new emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot sit for long after all.

On that day, Duke Dingguo led a million troops into the capital, overthrew the chaotic ministers and thieves, and vowed to retake the great Wei Jiangshan. The new emperor committed suicide, and a fire burned the palace to the ground. The raging fire burned half of the sky, and countless palace people screamed and fled. The place where the water was filled was filled with smoke. The cold palace was uninhabited for many years, and the vegetation was overgrown. The fire was especially huge.

The aunt wanted to take Qing Huan to escape, but Qing Huan refused. Emperor Jing Heng was still below. If he didn't come up... She pushed the aunt away and let her go first.

Emperor Jingheng was standing under the cave, looking up at the entrance of the cave. Qing Huan jumped down without hesitation. He was taken aback and said, "Why did you come down?"

"The Duke of Ding came in with the army, and the emperor died. Now the palace is flooded, and the fire in the cold palace is especially big. If I don't come, can't I let you burn to death?" She said while slashing with the sharp blade in her hand. The dark chains.

But he didn't see the young man above his head, whose eyes were covered with a thin layer of shading. "If I could die with Qing Huan, I wouldn't waste my life."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You forgot, did you say you can't be trapped here?" Qing Huan raised her head and smiled at him. "This is the dagger I stole while the fire was on fire. It is said to cut iron like mud. I hope it can... ah, it's broken!" She dropped the chain in her hand in surprise, and pulled Jingheng Emperor's hand to go out. climb. She just took a rope and tied it to the rockery, and now both of them can escape.

Emperor Jingheng obeyed her instructions fluently. He first lifted her up, then she pulled the rope hard, and when he pressed down, he climbed up.

He has been in this small cave for eleven years, and this time is the real time to see the light of day. Qing Huan hugged him happily, took his hand and ran away. However, Emperor Jingheng's legs had not been used for many years, and they were almost integrated with the iron chain, so he couldn't escape quickly at all.

At this moment, suddenly heard the sound of swords screeching. Emperor Jing Heng's expression froze, and he quickly pushed Qing Huan into the rockery, blocking himself in front of him, turning the mechanism, and Qing Huan's figure disappeared instantly.

"...If I don't die, I will definitely come to find you." Emperor Jingheng said in a low voice.

Someone from outside has broken in. Just when Emperor Jingheng thought he was going to die, a man in armor suddenly separated from the army, walked straight to him, and knelt down straight: "The last general will see His Royal Highness the eldest grandson!"

Because Emperor Jingheng's father had only been the emperor for a few days, Duke Ding also habitually called him the eldest grandson of the emperor.

Emperor Jing Heng looked indifferent: "Who are you?"

Duke Ding felt strange in his heart. The bitch said that the eldest grandson of the emperor had been trapped here for more than ten years, and it should have been turned into a dead bone long ago, but how could he still be alive? How could a teenager who was trapped in the ground articulate so clearly? Could it be that he is fake?

No, not possible. No one knew that he would force the palace today, and no one knew that the eldest grandson was trapped here. So Duke Ding still believed it, and he felt a pity in his heart. He originally thought that without the Great Wei imperial family, he would be able to become emperor, but he did not expect that the eldest grandson of the emperor was still alive! Thinking of this, there was a flash of unwillingness in his eyes, but he still had to take care of the reputation of being loyal and patriotic. Who told him to crusade the Zhou family, using the slogan of "benevolence, righteousness and grace, help Dawei"? !

Emperor Jingheng was very wary and could never trust Duke Dingguo. He regarded Qinghuan as more important than his own life, how could he be willing to put her in danger. Immediately, he agreed to Duke Dingguo's will and went with him. Just before leaving, he involuntarily glanced at the rockery. He said silently in his heart: "Wait for me, I will definitely come back to find you, wait for me."

But this parting is a full nine years.

When the surroundings were quiet, Qing Huan walked out of the rockery and found that she had become a teenage girl. She looked at her hand in amazement, then looked back at the rockery, so strange... Didn't she just get pushed by Emperor Jing Heng to hide? How did you become an adult in a blink of an eye? !

Looking around, the surroundings were even more terrifying than she remembered. Weeds were growing wildly, and there were night owls crying from time to time. Qing Huan walked out, turned around and turned the mechanism, and the hole opened. The inside was the same as before, but the chain she cut herself had turned into a pile of rotten scrap iron.

It looks like it's really been a long time.

While he was wondering, he suddenly heard footsteps. Qing Huan froze in her heart, afraid that she would grow old if she hides in the rockery again, so she turned around and crouched in the weeds half a person high. I saw footsteps coming from the cold moonlight, two eunuchs carrying a long object wrapped in black cloth, while the other eunuch stood aside with a whisk in hand, constantly commanding: "Hurry up, hurry up and go there. On the way, go to the dry well! Quick!"

Soon they arrived at the dry well, because the object was too heavy, so the two young eunuchs accidentally let it fall, the black cloth fell, and a dead head was exposed. Although it was beyond recognition, Qing Huan still recognized it at a glance. That is the body of the female ghost Zhu Cai!

"Hurry up, come back quickly after throwing people in, our family will go first!" The older eunuch left quickly after finishing the assignment.

The remaining two young eunuchs couldn't help complaining: "Really, they asked us to do these things at night! No wonder the old man said that the dead were dead, and the dead were really heavy."

"Shh! Stop talking!" A eunuch looked around and felt that this dilapidated place was really creepy. "Who told her to offend Concubine Shu? Our concubine finally let the emperor go to her palace. How did you think that a little palace maid would be cheap in the end?! You say, she is not dead, who will die?"

"Yes." Another eunuch nodded. "It can only be said that her life is not good. Let's hurry up and throw people in, hurry up and leave! This place is very evil." After saying that, the two raised their heads and raised their feet, and threw the corpse into the dry well. middle. Only after hearing a muffled sound after a while, the two looked at each other and hurriedly left this scary place.

After they left, Qing Huan got up from the weeds. She slowly approached the dry well, and before she got close, she felt a surge of resentment. Qing Huan frowned slightly, closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and recited a few Buddhist scriptures in silence. The dry well became quiet, and when she got closer to the moonlight, she could not see the bottom, and she didn't know how many grievances were buried.

It was the night that Zhu Cai died. Qing Huan has also seen many ruthless people, and has even been on the battlefield to see what hell on earth is. But this small dry well is inexplicably similar to the battlefield.

She sighed and saved the ghost. When she turned to leave, she suddenly realized a question: How does she control the ghost now? Recalling that when she was on the Naihe Bridge, the ghosts in the Wangchuan River seemed to be afraid of her too...

Qing Huan became more and more confused. She used the little girl's body to accompany Emperor Jingheng for five years, and then turned into a young girl overnight. She didn't know what happened during that time. Thinking of this, the left hand spread out, and the Karma Stone suddenly appeared, but it was much thinner and smaller. Qing Huan watched it quietly, and after a while, she understood, she clenched her fist, and the Karma Stone disappeared instantly.

Concubine Ke Shu drugged Emperor Jing Heng last night, but Emperor Jing Heng escaped. Not only that, he also favored Zhu Cai. Concubine Ke Shu lost her wife and lost her army, but instead made wedding clothes for others, she was instantly jealous, and she poured her anger on Zhu Cai. Poor Zhu Caifang was favored and died, and Concubine Ke Shu ordered people to fill the dry well with the corpse, which is why Zhu Cai came to Naihe Bridge later.

Why is time so strange? Qing Huan did not understand. But she vaguely felt that the change in time was related to her, but she still couldn't understand the truth, so she could only accept it.

That's all, I'll understand one day, and I'm not in a hurry. The past is over, and the future has yet to come, so why think so much.

It's just... I look like this now, and I don't have an identity. How can I meet Emperor Jingheng?

don't know what the kid looks like now. Qinghuan thought.

As for whether her appearance has changed, or whether it represents some special meaning, Qing Huan doesn't even think about it. The soldiers will block the water and cover the soil. Is she still afraid?

She quietly went to the house where she used to live to have a look. It was originally the female official's residence, but now it was empty, as if it had been empty for a long time. She gently pushed the door open and walked in. The furnishings in the house are naturally different from before. The previous house had long since been burned down by the fire—for others, it was nine years ago, but for Qing Huan, it was just a before the hour. The gap between the front and back is too big, and she is inevitably a little bit unacceptable.

When she was in the palace before, she had basically figured out the route, so she knew where the emperor's bedroom was, but Qing Huan didn't know how to get there. First, she is not skilled in martial arts and secondly, she is not able to fly. How can she reach the Golden Palace where the emperor lives, and ensure that she will not be discovered by the guards on the way? Another very important thing is, can Emperor Jingheng recognize her?
