Chapter 164 The Second Sacrifice

Jiang Changning's heartbeat was very slow, and her consciousness became drowsy. She knew that a predetermined ending was coming, but she pinched herself with great effort, sat upright and shook her head slowly: "I'm not tired."

But Qin Huaisu stopped moving. He saw Jiang Changning's weak support and also saw her struggle.Qin Huaisu closed his eyes, and kissed her gently on the tip of her nose, the love in his eyes was touching.

"You come with me."

"Where?"

Qin Huaisu didn't answer, he hugged Jiang Changning by the waist, and flew to the outside of the palace wall with light work, Qin Liu had already prepared the carriage and waited aside, when he saw the visitor, he silently opened the curtain.

The carriage was covered with thick cushions, and Qin Huaisu carefully carried Jiang Changning into it.

The emperor and empress got married, and there was a lot of excitement everywhere in Beijing.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, and the afterglow of the evening sun is faintly sprinkled on the red bricks and green or brightly colored pavilion cornices.The flow of people and horses is like weaving, and the penetrating shouts of street vendors can be heard faintly not far away.

Jiang Changning seemed to be in a colorful picture scroll, she couldn't believe that such a real scene in front of her could be a dream.

Qin Huaisu looked at Jiang Changning seriously, with a smile on his lips.He looked relaxed and happy on the face, but his heart couldn't stop sinking.

The hand holding Jiang Changning's wrist could not even feel her pulse.

They actually came all the way to the Marriage Temple. Outside the temple was heavily guarded, and ordinary people were not allowed to approach it.

The inside of the temple is very quiet, the three-life tree is bathed in warm orange light, the leaves are dyed with golden edges, the luxuriant branches and leaves are extremely stretched, and the wooden signs jingle in the breeze.

There is only a huge marriage tree standing in the huge courtyard, and the smoke from the incense burner is swaying dimly, making the scene in front of you inexplicably peaceful and lonely.

Jiang Changning's hands and feet were weak and he couldn't use his strength. Qin Huaisu seemed to know everything, and silently carried her off the carriage, and put her down to sit under the tree.

The moment Jiang Changning moved his finger away, Jiang Changning panicked inexplicably, his heart was empty and had nowhere to rest.Subconsciously, she wanted to hold his hand.

But she could only slightly move her fingertips, trying to keep Qin Huaisu.

Ever since Qin Huaisu took her out of the palace and came here, and pretended to be relaxed all the way to maintain the smile in his eyes, to the moment when he seemed relieved and determined as if he had made some decision, something seemed to explode in Jiang Changning's mind open.

Qin Huaisu was still wearing his wedding dress and was reluctant to take it off. The crimson brocade gown with black border and gold embroidery was embroidered with a few pieces of hollowed-out poppies. A thin and strong wrist was exposed from the cuff, and his slender fingers were slender and bony. Jiang Changning's little finger stopped for a moment, like a butterfly that was tired from flying and settled down to rest. It stood for a moment and was about to spread its wings and take off.

Qin Huaisu put Jiang Changning well to ensure that no accident would happen to her.Then he took two steps away and lightly stepped on the ground with his right foot, his body leaped to the top of the tree like a frightened bird, and it took him a while to untie the Yuelao thread that he had carefully tied last time.

Jiang Changning was speechless, but his eyes were fixed on Qin Huaisu's movements, his breath became short of breath a few times, and his eyes were full of doubts: "What is this?"

Qin Huaisu caressed these two small wooden plaques, which were no bigger than palms, but he dropped his heart heavily.

There were two rains not long ago, and the name on the wooden sign was somewhat mottled by the rain, and the words on it could still be vaguely seen.

There are two lines of signatures on the back of the wooden sign with the two names written on it.

Death and life are broad, and Zicheng said.

Love determines three lives, and life and death depend on each other.

Qin Huaisu's hand gently brushed Jiang Changning's beautiful handwriting, wiped away the smudged ink stains, and said softly, "I regret it."

He carefully wiped off the signature with his sleeve dipped in water, and found a pen to write a line behind Jiang Changning's name again, "Life is smooth, there are no taboos."

He is satisfied.

Being able to have this short but precious good time with the little girl was something he never dared to hope for before. Now that this dream has come true, he should wake up.

I dare not ask for three lives and three generations, I only wish Jiang Changning a smooth life and peace every year.

【Have you chosen yet? 】

Jiang Changning heard the cold mechanical voice again, and she broke out in a cold sweat, no, no, no——

The picture in front of her gradually overlapped with the nightmare she had not long ago.Her eyes were blurred, and she wanted to bite her tongue hard to gain a bit of sobriety and strength.

Qin Huaisu took out a branch of poppies from his bosom, and pinned it on Jiang Changning's head.

"gorgeous."

Jiang Changning's eyes were red, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

"do not Cry."

Qin Huaisu sighed distressedly, leaned over to kiss away the salty teardrops hanging from her eyelashes, and kissed her forehead gently and lovingly.

"Live well."

Do not--

There was a sharp pain in Jiang Changning's chest, and a fishy sweetness gushed out of his throat, but his body seemed to be restrained, and he couldn't move no matter what.She struggled hard and wanted to shout out to stop her, but her lips couldn't be moved no matter what.

She saw Qin Huaisu sitting on the ground, his eyes were full of irresistible tenderness: "Come on."

No! ! !don't want! ! ! ! !

The corners of Jiang Changning's eyes were crying blood, Qin Huaisu was sitting next to her, just like the scene in that dream, his life was sucked away.She watched helplessly as his black hair faded from the roots to inches of gray, and the skin on his face became lifeless and gradually decayed. Only his eyes still shone with firm and warm light.

"Do not--"

Jiang Changning vomited a mouthful of blood, and finally yelled no, but Qin Huaisu had lost his strength and collapsed on the ground.

The jade crown fell to the ground heavily and broke into several pieces.Qin Huaisu's white hair spread out, spreading on the ground like a dandelion about to be blown away by the wind.

Qin Huaisu stretched out his hand to Jiang Changning with nostalgia and reluctance.My current appearance must be ugly, and it should scare the little girl.But when he thought about not being able to meet each other for the last time, he couldn't help feeling sad.

Sorry, forgive my last selfishness.

"A Su!" Jiang Changning inexplicably regained her strength, she staggered and knelt on the ground and threw herself on Qin Huaisu's body, crying uncontrollably: "No!! A Su—"

But the person who always responded gently could no longer answer her cry, as if he had finally let go of the heavy closed eyes.

Jiang Changning tightly held the falling finger, as if he was about to rub it into the blood, he seemed to have lost all voices in his ears, and the whole world was desolate and lonely: "No——"

"no, do not want!!"

A palpitating feeling swept across the entire temple.The leaves trembling with the wind suddenly stopped, and the orange sunlight lost its temperature.Jiang Changning looked up in horror, and saw a bottomless crack appearing in the sky.
