Queen in modern times

Chapter 361 Finding a Way (22)

****
Su Hen pushed the crystal coffin away and looked at the self lying quietly inside. Although it was not the first time he saw it, the shock and strangeness in his heart were still very strong.

Luo Wenqing saw it, and was also very surprised, "Why is it you?"

"Yeah, why me?"

Su Hen said in a strange tone, "However, it's not me, I'm here now."

"Oh, yes."

Luo Wenqing looked at Su Hen in the coffin, "Letting you enthroned has always been something we planned, and we also thought that it would be bloody and eventually fail. But I didn't expect it to come true. Unfortunately, Judging by this face, it is estimated that he was also at the age of 27 or [-], right? The enthronement time should not be too long."

"Well, according to our previous planning and completely bringing down the princess, it will take at least five years."

Su Hen nodded slightly, "However, the master is no longer here, and all the planning has turned into a group of dragons without a leader. How can she get up quickly and finally become an emperor? This is really not easy."

She also thought of everyone's impression of the original owner of her body: ugly, stupid, and weak.

Such a soul is attached to his body, Dayong, and in the difficult environment he was in at the time, it stands to reason that it would be a problem to survive. How could he finally defeat the empress and become the throne without the help of the master?
Even if the princess died early, it would still not be her turn.

Could it be that Xiao helped her?

Su Hen turned to look at Xiao's figurines.

His face is more mature, more expressionless and indifferent.

Did he realize that he was different?

"Master, they all say that these beauty figurines are made of the skin of living people, but why do I think they are made of the whole living person?"

Su Hen couldn't help stretching out his fingers, and lightly touched Xiao's face.

The skin is still full of elasticity, just like alive, only a little less warm.

Even the eyes are similar to the eyes of a stranger, except that there is no focal point and no expression.

"Well, I once read the book of Taishizu. It is true that the whole living person is used to make human figurines. In the first few generations of empresses in the Yongjian Dynasty, after their death, they all turned their beloved concubines into beautiful figurines. And buried with them. It was only later that when Emperor Rende felt that this technique was too cruel, he ordered it to be destroyed, and stipulated that people in future generations should not be buried with figurines. Even the concubines and beauties who will be buried with them can only be one or two people who were alive. It’s more beloved. Now, suddenly there are so many beautiful figurines buried with you, it’s really puzzling, and they’re still next to your corpse.”

Luo Wenqing's eyes fell on a beautiful figurine wearing white wide sleeves, "I know this figurine. Since he was 12 years old, he has been famous in the south of the Yangtze River. He is known as the number one beauty in the south of the Yangtze River. He knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Su Hen took a closer look, and found that his face was somewhat familiar, and if he looked more closely, he felt a bit like Zhuo Yifan, especially the corner of his lips, which was slightly raised, but he had long hair and shawl, and his expression Elegant, calm posture, even better than Zhuo Yifan.

Seeing that he is standing closest to the crystal coffin, he is probably the most beloved beauty.

"Master, I want to take Xiao out, as well as this corpse, so that the tomb will not be excavated and destroyed in the future."

Su Hen said to Luo Wenqing, "I absolutely cannot let them be destroyed."

"Ah."

Luo Wenqing nodded, "If it's not convenient for you, I can guard them for you."

"Master, you can help me protect her first, but I want to take Xiao with me."

Su Hen stretched out his hand to flick the clothes of the Xiao figurine, looking at him, his eyes softened a bit.

In the past, she never refused to look at him with gentle eyes, and refused his attempts to get closer again and again.

Now, she wants to take him back, so that she can always look at him and feel that he is still there.

"Ah."

Luo Wenqing nodded.

The two first moved the crystal coffin down the mountain together with the body, and hid it in Luo Wenqing's backyard.

Then, Su Hen came up alone again, and personally carried Xiao's figurine down.

When she carried the figurine out of the ground, she didn't notice that there was a slight light in Xiao's originally frozen pupils.

Just a little bit, though, and it fades away quickly.

This figurine is different from ordinary figurines, the limbs and joints are all movable.

Su Hen also put Xiao on the chair in front of the master's courtyard and sat down.

The moonlight fell softly on his body, making him look a bit hazy, as if he was alive, looking at him quietly.

Tears blurred her eyes again...

She stretched out her hand to straighten his messy collar, but found that there seemed to be something on his chest.

Just unbutton his collar and see...

The tears welled up more fiercely again.

Hanging under his neck was actually a wooden marble that she gave him as a gift when she was five years old.

At that time, she asked him to play marbles with her, and whoever lost would have to paint his face.

He kept losing, and kept letting her paint on his face until it turned into a painted cat, which made her giggle happily, and then said to give him the marbles as a dowry for marrying him in the future.

He also readily accepted.

I thought that this marble had been lost long ago.

Unexpectedly, it has been hanging in his heart.

He has been thinking about his promise to marry him, right?
Thinking of it, her heart felt like being pricked by a needle, and she felt a sharp pain. She hated herself for suppressing herself so much and making him suffer.

Life is short, love should be loved immediately, otherwise, it may be a permanent parting.

She carefully arranged his clothes, lowered her head on his forehead, and kissed lightly, "Xiao, in a few days, I will definitely wear a red wedding dress for you. I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long! "

Nor did she see when she kissed his forehead.

The color of his gray-black pupils seems to be a little brighter...

Su Hen took out master's snow plum wine, took two wine glasses, put one in front of Xiao, and filled the other for himself.

"Xiao, let's drink!"

With tears in her eyes, she touched his glass with hers.

In the past, she often forced him to drink with her.

However, every time he quickly drank the wine she poured him, and then stood aside respectfully, feeling as if it was a great disrespect to sit next to her.

Now, he can no longer behave like this, he can only let Su Hen make him sit or stand.

It's just that he can't take the initiative to drink anymore.

You can't put away the flagon and wine glass when you are half drunk, so that she can't drink anymore, and then watch her throw the table over and lose her temper.
