Chapter 36 The True Identity (2)
King Mausoleum said: "Recently, the capital city is not peaceful. This king cherishes his life. Is there anything wrong with taking a guard with strong martial arts skills to protect his safety? But you, who have not been named queen, are already so arrogant! How do you say this?" The king is also an elder, so even the king has to call this king Uncle Wang. You, a humble woman from a humble background, have repeatedly challenged this king! Originally, this king thought that it was all right for the king to make you his queen, but now I see Come on, not only are you from a lowly background, you don’t know how to be respectful and humble, and you also have no respect for elders, how can such a woman be worthy of being the mother of a country?!”

"Whether worthy or not, it's not up to you, the King of Ling! Unless the King of Ling revolts in the future and takes the place of the king, then you, the King of Ling... are qualified to judge, such as whether Mo is worthy or not."

"You!" The King of Ling's face changed drastically, pointing at her, and said angrily, "You're full of nonsense! This king has always been loyal, and the sun and the moon can learn from each other. You demon girl, don't lie here to confuse people and slander this king!"

"I slander you?" Rumo smiled, "The so-called Qing is self-clearing, if you don't have ghosts in your heart, King Ling, why do you react so much?... Demon girl? That's a good name. But..." She paused and smiled Leaning closer to King Ling's ear, he said in a low voice, "Others don't know, but Rumo knows the identity of your righteous concubine Mei..."

He stopped suddenly, smiled and saw that King Ling's expression changed, and looked at her with murderous intent, but her face was calm, as if she was just telling him a joke.

The Marquis of Jingguo on the side was very puzzled, seeing that she didn't seem to care about the harsh words she said about King Ling, it could be said that she didn't care.But before in the palace...why did she react so violently, confronting him everywhere?It seems that he said that she should not have a humble background...

"Your Majesty, I invite you to send an imperial doctor to examine the body, and give justice to the Eldest Princess, so as to comfort the Eldest Princess' spirit in heaven." Soon the murderous aura was subdued, and the King of Mausoleum appealed again.

Nangong proudly said: "Hasn't Uncle Wang had enough trouble? The eldest princess is no longer here. As her relatives, offending the corpse and disturbing the dead, making her unable to rest in peace, how can Uncle Wang bear it? Or is it true as Ning'er said , Uncle Wang insists on this, does he really have other intentions?"

King Ling frowned, "I dare not! I just..."

"Okay, Uncle Wang!" Nangong Ao interrupted coldly, "That's the end of this matter. It's all over."

When the king speaks, the decree cannot be questioned.

King Ling wanted to say something, but seeing Nangong Ao looking at him sharply, as if everything was in his eyes, he couldn't help being slightly startled, so he had to shut up and leave reluctantly.

Soon there were only four people left in the mourning hall, Hou Jingguo, Nangong Ao, Leng Yixiao and Rumo.

"Ning'er just now...what did you say in King Ling's ear that caused his expression to change?" Nangong Ao asked with a smile, Rumo was indifferent and did not answer, Nangong Ao said again: "Jing Guohou, this time , you owe Ning'er a huge favor...how are you going to pay it back?"

Jing Guohou was slightly taken aback, his expression was a little unnatural, although he was very reluctant, he still had to say: "Miss Rumo clears up my grievances..."

"Whether it's a grievance or the truth...Jing Guohou knows it in his heart!" Nangong Ao cut his mouth, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, "There are some things that I don't think need to be explained too clearly, everyone is a smart person. Jing Guohou used to be kind to Gu, So Gu respects you, and I hope that you will be the Marquis of Jingguo, so don't make things too difficult for Gu!"

Hou Jingguo's eyes changed slightly, and he immediately understood what he meant, looked at Rumo, frowned and said: "This Marquis is very grateful for your life-saving grace... But, the matter of establishing a queen is related to the country, if you want to make this Marquis change position……"

"Marquis Jingguo thinks too much!" Rumo interrupted him coldly, "Do you think I did that to give you favors in exchange for your support? You are wrong! As I said, I didn't want to help you, I It’s just that I don’t like my ability being questioned. So you don’t need to be grateful to me at all, and you don’t need to change your position against making me queen.”

After finishing speaking, he turned around coldly and walked quickly towards the door.

I wanted to leave here, but when I passed a yard, I stopped suddenly.

Without looking back, she knew that in that yard... there were two big trees, and a beautiful swing was tied between the two trees.All kinds of exotic flowers and plants are planted around the swing. Every spring, the flowers will bloom brilliantly... And what is more brilliant than the flowers is the smiling face of the girl who once stood on the swing, happy, happy, Carefree...

Laughter like silver bells suddenly rang in her ears, beating her fragile heart through long memories.

It's not that I don't miss it!It's not that I don't want to go back to the past...

"Do you want to go in and take a look?" Someone behind her asked, and then she felt her hand being held firmly.That person's palm was warm and firm, exactly the same as in memory.She followed him involuntarily, into the familiar yard and into the familiar house.

The tables and chairs made of noble golden nanmu are so clean that no trace of floating dust can be seen, as if the owner has always been here and never left...

The spacious big bed is covered with a thick mattress, which looks soft and comfortable, making people want to lie on it and rest.

On the wall, there is a painting.In the painting, there is a six or seven-year-old girl, full of aura, swinging on a swing.With a bright smile, she looks extremely happy, and she overshadows the surrounding flowers...

With slender fingers, he gently caressed the girl's immature and delicate face, and the sourness surging in his heart almost drowned her.The girl's defenseless and brilliant smile in the painting hurt her eyes and hurt her heart.Everything that once belonged to her... Her joy, happiness, and carefree mood are now gone and out of reach.

Misty water mist suddenly floated into her eyes, she turned her head hastily, not daring to look any further.The shoulders were held.Leng Yixiao didn't speak all the time, but stood silently behind her, quietly watching her yearning, regret, grief, and helplessness. All kinds of emotional expressions seemed to prove one thing to him.Something he dared not hope for, but couldn't help but hope for.

The commonly used items on the table are all available, and even the placement is the same as it was ten years ago.

Ruyu's fingertips gently caressed every item on the table, with deep nostalgia and deep sense of loss.When his eyes suddenly fell on the dressing table, the row of neatly arranged exquisite wooden boxes... his heart was shocked.

There are more than a dozen of them in different sizes.Each one has been sanded smooth and carved with shaded flowers to come to life as if struggling to bloom.She raised her head tremblingly, and gently opened the wooden box. There were wooden hairpins in it, all of which were of different shapes, but all were beautiful.I never loved gold, silver and jewelry since I was a child, but only loved everything related to wood made by my father.

"The wooden hairpin on Mother's head is so beautiful! Yan'er wants it too! Daddy, Daddy..."

"Okay, okay... Daddy will make it for you now! My good daughter..."

"General, general...there is another battle at the border, the king ordered the general to set off immediately!"

"Ah? Dad, are you going to fight again?"

"That's right, another enemy is coming! Darling Yan'er, stay at home with your mother and wait for Daddy. Daddy will come back soon after winning the battle. When the time comes, he will not only make you a wooden hairpin, but also add a small wooden box, okay?"

"Okay! Daddy wants to keep his word! Also, don't get hurt!"

Father and daughter hook.That time, my father did not keep his promise. Although he won the battle, he was seriously injured because he wanted to protect a small wooden hairpin.The bloodstains are still on the hairpin, clear and dazzling...

"What are you doing?! Who told you to touch my daughter's things?!" The fury of thunder came suddenly, and with fierce force, it swept heavily towards the woman who was immersed in her memory.

Unprepared and without time to react, he fell to the ground with a slam, and his forehead hit the corner of the table heavily.

Almost fainted.

"Father, what are you doing?!" The man who was like an exiled fairy who never showed his emotions, looked at the blood gushing out of the woman's forehead, and almost screamed out of control.He hurried over to help her, covering the wound on her forehead with his hand.Her voice trembled unknowingly, "How are you?...Does it matter?"

Ru Mo shook his head, "This little pain is nothing." Looking up, he saw that man was carefully wiping the wooden box he took from her with his sleeve. It seemed that the wooden box would become dirty if she touched it up.Can't help but feel sad and funny.

After wiping the wooden box, Leng Chi turned to look at them, and scolded Leng Yi, "I should ask you what you are doing! Who asked you to bring her in here?"

Leng Yixiao ignored him, and directly helped her up. At this time, Nangong Ao also followed. Seeing this situation, she was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Isn't it too much for Marquis Jingguo! If it wasn't for Ning If I help you, even if I want to spare you, I can't do anything in front of everyone. Now, you hurt her because of such a small thing!"

"This is my daughter's property, no one can touch it!" Not afraid of the majesty of the king, he said resolutely coldly.

"Marquis Jingguo is really a good father who loves his daughter as much as his life!" Rumo smiled sarcastically, pushing away Leng Yixiao's hand, blood gushed out, making his already pale face even more colorless.She turned her head and pointed to the painting on the wall.

"Who is Marquis Jing's daughter? Is it her? If it's her, Marquis Jing, you don't have to do these useless things in the future, because she will never be rare again!"

"What did you say?" Leng Chi's face darkened, and he strode forward, almost about to make a move, but was stopped by Leng Yixiao.

"Don't hurt her anymore!" Leng Yixiao's extremely distressed expression made Leng Chi slightly taken aback.For many years, I haven't seen my son have any intense emotions.

"Is this your daughter, Marquis Jingguo?" Nangong Ao looked at the girl in the painting in amazement, and sighed involuntarily, "She looks...happy and happy!"

"What's so good about being happy, it will only make her... more flustered in the face of the cruel reality." Ru Mo said bitterly.

Despair is not enough to describe the mood at that time.

"Is that so?" Ten years later, thinking of the tragic scene on Langya Mountain, it still hurts my heart.Looking at the complex face of the woman Leng Chi suddenly felt that this woman seemed to know everything about her daughter like the back of her hand.He suddenly walked around his son, quickly grabbed the woman's arm, and pulled her forcefully.Staring into her eyes, he asked anxiously, "Have you seen my daughter? Where is she? Tell me!"

The arm was tightly packed and almost shattered.Rumo didn't struggle, and looked at the excited man in front of him with slightly dull eyes, and couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

"She's dead."

"What?!" Leng Chi was shocked physically and mentally, and his eyes widened unacceptably. Although he found bloody clothes at the bottom of the cliff and saw a pair of bones torn by wild beasts, he still refused to accept it. I believe that my daughter is no longer alive.

"Nonsense!" He slammed her hand away, unable to control his emotions.Want answers when there are no answers.I have the answer, but I don't want to believe it.

"Impossible! My Yan'er won't die! She won't die! She's so smart and kind, so beautiful... She's the most precious gift God gave me... She won't die, God won't be right She is so cruel..." The fierce aura dissipated in an instant.The sound of pain is the unique expression of grief for a father who has lost a child.

The eye sockets were endlessly red, and the tears were almost uncontrollable.Rumo hurriedly turned her head away, leaned her neck desperately, inhaled heavily, trying to swallow her tears back with all her strength.

"You're wrong! God doesn't have eyes! It's impossible for a kind person to survive in that kind of place, and the only one who can come out alive is a devil with bloody hands!"

"I'd rather she become a devil... and I hope she can live!" The extremely sad tone brought out an extremely painful heart.Nangong Ao's heart moved, and he stepped forward to propose: "Then Jingguo Hou might as well treat Rumo as your daughter..."

"What nonsense!"

Before Nangong Ao could finish speaking, Leng Chi interrupted him excitedly. Regardless of his identity, he said sharply: "There is only one of my daughters, and no one can replace her, nor can she be compared to her! Especially her Such a woman!"

"What kind of woman am I?" A surge of enthusiasm surged violently in her chest uncontrollably.Some words have been hidden in her heart for many years. She tried her best to ignore and suppress them. Now, facing her father's repeated contempt, she finally couldn't restrain them.

With blood surging, she tried her best to restrain the desire to spit it out, and said in a painful voice, "Don't make it seem like your daughter is perfect, in fact, you don't know her at all, and maybe...she is standing on your side right now. In front of you, you can't even recognize who she is! Ten years can turn a person into a ghost, so... don't talk as if you know her well, survive the blood and corpses, and you can have everything, But she will never have kindness again, because that will make her... die without a place to bury her!"

Leng Chi was speechless, looked at her in surprise, a little angry, didn't want to admit what she said, but couldn't refute it.Just stare at her.Seeing her hateful eyes and complicated emotions, it seemed that everything she had endured was closely related to him.

Rumo said again: "If you really love your daughter, please put away your regrets, and don't show how regretful and painful you are after causing her to suffer..."

"How much pain are you in? Is it a hundred times more painful than the life and death Gu in your body?" Her slender hands tightly gathered her sleeves, her chest was suffocated and she couldn't breathe.She closed her eyes, and felt someone holding her shoulder from behind, trembling slightly, conveying the pain in that person's heart to her heart through the temperature of the palm.

"Life and death Gu?...Who do you think got the life and death Gu?" Leng Chi asked with a trembling voice.

Ru Mo opened his eyes, and asked sadly, "What do you think?"

"Ten years of life is worse than death... You will never understand how painful that feeling is! No one will understand! So you don't have to think that one day you will be able to recognize each other... She will never forgive you, forever No." With her head held high, tears welled up in her eyes, stubbornly refusing to fall.After finishing speaking, she started to leave. If she stayed here for a while longer, she was afraid that she would suffocate to death.And Leng Chi behind her, in her cruel words, was saddened to death.

Ten years of life is worse than death...

Don't think about father and daughter getting to know each other...

never forgive...

If you are no longer alive, what chance is there to ask for forgiveness?No, Yan'er, she...

"Stop, don't go! Make it clear, Yan'er, is she still alive? Isn't she?"

Rumo didn't answer, nor did he stop.Leng Chi walked forward quickly, grabbing her arm, Rumo didn't even get out of the way, just being grabbed by him like that, the gauze on her shoulder was lifted by the wind, a bright red birthmark of falling flowers clearly reflected the vicissitudes of life. eye.

My whole body was stiff.Leng Chi's eyes widened in disbelief, looking at the expressionless woman, his blood froze quickly.

"You...you...you are..." His eyes were full of shock, his mouth was open, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

The hand gradually lost strength, let go of the woman's arm, retreated, retreated, retreated to the corner, and retreated until there was no way to retreat.

Ru Mo stood there without looking back.Looking up at the sky, the sky after the rain is bright and sunny, and her life is gray and white.

Take a step and leave.

Leaving that familiar room far behind, in a trance, there seemed to be a cry of pain and regret, following the sound of the wind, it spread into her ears.

"Yan'er..."

Leng Chi stared blankly at the direction of the woman's disappearance, as if he couldn't accept that the witch of the demon palace, who he called a humble birth, turned out to be his most beloved daughter!She has always been a treasure held in the palm of my hand and cared for carefully. I don't want her to suffer a little bit of grievance, and I don't want her to shed a tear. I can accept her death, but I can't accept it. Her ten-year life is worse than death!What kind of pain and torture is it that makes his beloved daughter hate him so much? !

The huge blow crushed his mind in an instant, and the pain that had been accumulated for many years suddenly hit the sky, and the unstoppable fishy sweetness suddenly rushed to his throat.He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, his head was darkened, and he fell headlong to the ground...
