Dust and Ember Song

Chapter 16

It seems that the dream is true, Luo Tang has gone far.

When I woke up, I didn't know how many days later.Enduring the remaining pain, Zhijin opened his eyes and saw the elegant patterns on the dome.There was a breeze outside the window, maybe she was tired after lying down for a long time, and when she got off the bed, she fell to the ground.

Zhijin didn't want to lie down again, so she lay down on the desk and looked out the window.Outside her bedroom is the Joan Grass, without trees, and it looks empty, but it is really wonderful to see the sun.

Has he ceased to exist since that turmoil?For several days a day, no one came to visit, the room at the farthest corner of the Huoyun Palace was extremely deserted, maybe it was the loneliness like a moon girl.

She thought about him, but what happened that day made her afraid. She thought she could forget him after waking up, but she never remembered him clearly.

Why did he change his temperament and treat himself like this, suddenly and sadly recalled the years with him, he never talked about his liking for himself.Maybe he has been deceiving himself all the time, but why should he treat himself so well and make himself want to entrust his whole life.

After all, Zu Yun came to see her.

"Are you better?" He brought the candied fruit unique to Pachinko Palace.

Zhijin didn't want to appear moved, "Try the feeling of being hit twice."

"You can still joke, it seems that you have recovered a lot." He smiled.

"How did I get back here that day?" She kept waiting for an answer to this question.

"Besides your Xingjun, who else is there? You are a member of his palace, so of course you should care about your whereabouts."

After hearing this, Zhijin felt relieved, "That Wanqi..."

"Your Xingjun won't marry her, and Xianzun doesn't like to be difficult." He pinched her cheeks with both hands, "It's you, although stupid, but you just attracted everyone's attention and made Wanqi's matter go away."

She swung her arm and punched him on the nose, and he covered his mouth in pain, "Hey, why do you always bully me? I'm also the prince of the Heavenly Clan after all, can you show me some face?"

"You don't know that you almost became famous all over the world."

Thinking about it, I was so unrespectful at that time, and everyone in the family was afraid that they would talk about it to the people in the heavenly court.

"Xing Jun..." She still couldn't help asking, even though mentioning him at this moment made her feel very distressed.

"If he's not good, can I come to your room? Don't worry, Wan Qi has nothing to do with him." He handed her a candied fruit.

Zhijin took it and ate it with a bitter smile.

"By the way, I want to ask you, when did you meet Changdi?"

"what happened?"

"That day, it was Tiger Changdi who carried you back to this palace."

"Didn't you just say that Lord Xing sent me back?" Zhijin almost choked, "What's going on?"

"It was Xingjun who sent the fairy servant to send you back, but Tiger took you and carried you back here."

"He... is my best friend in the world."

"Although it is against the rules for him to carry you back to the palace, you are seriously injured after all, and the family didn't say much. They all think that the tiger is a warm-hearted person, but your Xingjun is very displeased."

He suddenly approached her, and she frightened, "What are you doing?"

"Don't blame me for what happened that day. I am in a high position and I am with you in the heavenly court. On such an occasion, I cannot show my concern for you."

"You have your own difficulties, I don't mind."

"I saw that Changdi was really kind to you. I think you must not have suffered any grievances when you went to the human world. Is there anything interesting? The days when you are not in the heaven, I am so boring."

"I have almost forgotten about the things in the world. Actually, I was thinking, during the peach feast, the queen mother was afraid of the people in the South China Sea, but was it because of the god of water?"

He smiled slightly, "My own business is not over yet, but I am busy caring about other people's business."

"It's useless to think too much about some things."

"It's great that you can do this."

Zu Yun said that the Qilin family in the South China Sea is the royal family, and the fourteenth prince is named Xi Lun.Back then, the fifth princess of the Dongluan clan, Yu Ni, was supposed to marry the eldest prince of the South China Sea according to the clan order, but the prince was stabbed to death by the water god Yang Yi one day, and the immortal vein was cut off.Since then, the Qilin clan and the Dongluan clan are no longer married, and Nanhai has a grudge because Yuan Tian Shenzun did not order Yang Yi to be executed.In order to balance all parties, the Queen Mother deliberately prevented the Emperor and Queen of Heaven from attending the feast of peaches, and the fourteenth princes came here on behalf of Nanhai after hearing the words.

The Dongluan clan who are now exiled from the Heavenly Court used to be aristocrats in the heavenly realm. Because 3000 years ago, the fifth princess, Yu Ni, and the ninth princess, Tong Ni, violated the rules and violated the clan orders and caused disasters on earth. Being deprived of the title of "Oriental Ayin", which represents the status of aristocrats, and later because of the battle for the position among the clans, many clansmen were killed and injured, and the face of the heavens was lost. Mountain.

Chang Di looked at the snow-capped courtyard outside, drinking warm plum wine, the Shenshou Mountain, which was once lifeless, has changed now, maybe it hasn't changed at all, it's just a few excellent red plums planted , built a garden.

But in his heart, he felt that everything was different, just because it was all for her.

Changdi's mother was just a humble ghost slave at first, but after being favored by the tiger Qin Qi, she became pregnant, joined the ghost royal family, and became Ji's concubine.

Ever since he was a child, Chang Di followed his father's arrangement and often went to Shenshou Mountain to practice. He worked hard, but he was only a child, and it was reasonable to love to play.That day he went down the mountain, walked around, and did not return to the palace as scheduled.The father was furious, and the mother pleaded for him, even hurting herself, so the father had no choice but to give up.But his mother saw that he was working hard all day long, and he was not treated well by the royal family. He was suffering from a serious disease and it was difficult for him to be healthy, so she bid farewell to the world soon.

He remembered that night, he just wanted to surprise his mother who had been bedridden for a long time with his invisibility technique, but he didn't expect that he overheard the conversation between his father and mother.

You never loved me all along, did you?She took the medicine bowl from him.

Presumptuous, as my concubine, you should not offend like this.

Think about that person who made you fall in love so much, and you will never forget it after so many years.

Dressed luxuriously, he wanted to stand up with incomparable majesty.

Tan Qi, I hate you, in this life, in the next life, and every life after life.

Mei Ji, you are disrespectful today, I don't care about you, so that you can recover from your illness, don't let Chang Di worry about it.

I'm not Meiji, my name is Yuping.She tried her best to make a sound with her pale lips, and then coughed endlessly, the medicine bowl cracked on the floor.

Giving you a title is a favor, since you don't want it, then I will be your ghost slave again.He is already angry.

She pulled out the plum blossom and agate hairpin that she had always cherished and cherished, and said with a wry smile, it turned out that I took your affection seriously and fell into the abyss of endless obsession.

He knew that he had hurt her too much, so he couldn't bear it, so he pinned the hairpin in her hand to her hair again.

Yuping, the love between me and you can only go so far, why bother thinking about it.She is her and you are you.

With tears in her eyes, she recalled the first time she met him.

She carefully hugged the plum branch that had been folded from the mountain, and suddenly heard a call. She wanted to run away, but someone grabbed her wrist. She saw that it was a tiger, and immediately knelt down...

Well, everything is voluntary.

Don't bring up the old things between me and her in the future.

you go.She fell asleep with her back to him, weeping endlessly.

Changdi doesn't know who the woman his parents are talking about is, he only knows that his father's love for his mother may be just a person's obsession with that person deep in his memory.From that moment on, he felt cheated.

He hated his mother for not leaving a single word when she died.It was supposed to be like this, the mother knew that her love for many years was just another person's replacement, the unspeakable suffering could only be forbearance and unwillingness.

That year, my father buried my mother's tomb in Charming Mountain. My father said, don't blame us, you will understand when you encounter love affairs in the future.

This Charming Mountain is the place where your mother and I first met, and it is also...

Since then, the relationship between him and his father and son has become more and more indifferent, and he wants to leave, but he can't let go of his father who is getting sicker and about to abdicate.

That wild girl Zhijin is desperate for Kong Chen, and Kong Chen has always loved her deeply. He envies this kind of true and unswerving love, and also envies that Kong Chen can be with the girl day and night.

Before he met the girl, he was just living a life, foolishly obeying his father whose temperament changed drastically after he abdicated.

He has ascended to the position of tiger, but he is like a puppet. Even if he is full of dissatisfaction and is on the verge of despair, he must coldly and ruthlessly fulfill his father's orders. How long will the days before his hands be stained with blood? I thought this life was going to pass like this.

But that girl broke in recklessly, and a vicious person like him can be pitied by fate. For him, meeting a girl is already a wonderful thing.

He imitated how she loved Kongchen, and loved her.

When Luo Tang was hanged to death, some government servants dropped Luo Tang's coffin into a pit that had already been dug.When he cast the spell, there was a strong wind, and everyone had to go down the mountain.

In his hand was a cloth bag dropped by a yamen servant. He opened it, and it was a letter from Luo Tang to the girl.No matter in the world or in heaven, as long as it is Kongchen, the love for the girl is so sincere.He sowed the last handful of loess for the man who loved the girl deeply in the mortal world.

At the peach feast that day, although Kong Chen hurt her, he could see that this was the only way to protect her.

He carried the girl back to her bedroom to heal her wounds, and seeing that her fire had been completely extinguished, he thought she understood the ways of the world.

He felt distressed, kissed her forehead clumsily, and whispered, "Girl, you must remember that if Heaven is not good and you want to come to Shenshou Mountain, I will accompany you to admire the most beautiful white snow and red plums in the world."

At the end, he also said, "Your unnamed valley might as well be called Luotang Mountain."
