Chapter 557 Floating Ember

And at that moment, the strange and complex expression of forbearance, resentment, and intolerance that flashed in the baby's eyes made Qiu Yebai feel a pause in his heart, and looked at the baby: "What's wrong?"

The baby shook his head, and when he raised his eyes again, there was already peace in his eyes.

"It's nothing, just tell her to shut up."

Qiu Yebai looked at him for a moment, then suddenly said: "Baby, I remember His Highness said that the skill of disguise in the Mantra Palace is second to none, but the technique is extremely cruel."

The baby paused and remained silent.

Qiu Yebai saw that he didn't say a word, and didn't ask any more questions, her eyes fell on the angry crowd nearby.

After all, burning the lamp is not "what you deserve", which makes them feel angry, but they dare not speak out.

She sighed deeply. In fact, three days ago, she had ordered people to announce this matter, and there were already rumors among the people, but the people must want to hear whether such a cruel decree really came from always benevolent The national teacher who is pregnant.

But now that they have heard it with their own ears, these believers are afraid that they will have some grudges against the national teacher.

Everything will eventually be dissipated in the fire.

All the curses and sins on the altar, and the weeping or laughing of the common people under the altar, burnt up in a dry bone, but the ashes that swirled could not bury all the desires and ambitions.

Akiba's eyes moved from the civilians to his colleagues nearby, and the bloody flames reflected on the faces of the ruling class of the empire. They either looked at each other coldly, or looked secretively, or had anger in their eyes, or had eyes full of anger. happy.

And no matter which faction they are, all emotions are just flowing in their eyes, and the only similarity is that their faces are calm.

She secretly sighed, and all the power struggles on the surface seemed to have come to an end.

But she always has a faint feeling that all this is just another beginning.

The dominance of the Du family's family was finally broken. After they were no longer able to dominate, all the heroes would rise together.

After all, before the crown prince is established, everything has a chance.

She squinted her eyes and looked towards the sky, the flying ashes were floating in the gray sky, the sun's light was pale and powerless, and the clouds in the sky were unusually low and thick, reminding her of a distant gloomy sea.

The dust falls, and the waves -- rise again.

After all the sacrifices were over, Bailichu still had something to deal with, so Shuangbai asked her to go back to the Mingguang Palace first.

It may not have been hundreds of years since people were burned to death in public to sacrifice to heaven. The ashes of this fire torture seemed to cast a haze on everyone's heart. When Qiu Yebai returned to the temple with the baby, he felt I could feel the silence of everyone in the palace, everyone lowered their heads and came and went quietly.

Qiu Yebai walked on the long palace road, Bao Bao quietly followed behind her, he suddenly stopped, and suddenly said: "Fourth Young Master, I think the Supervisor of Rituals still has something to do, I'll go back first .”

She turned her head to look at the baby, but saw that there was an unconcealable tiredness between his brows, and there was a bloody red color in his brows, she was taken aback, and stepped forward to hold his shoulder: "What's wrong with you? "

The baby closed his eyes and rubbed the center of his eyebrows: "It's nothing, maybe the eyes were smoked by the fire."

Qiu Yebai looked at his appearance, sighed lightly, and patted his shoulder lightly: "You go back first, take a rest when you are tired."

The baby lowered his eyes: "I want to take a few days off."

She was stunned again, the baby seldom asked her for leave, she hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her hand to caress his forehead: "Is it for the matter of the Palace of Mantras, or is it about lighting...she is already dead."

She knew that he had something on his mind, and also knew that he must have some connection with the Mantra Palace back then. If Ran Deng was the one who caused the baby to be human and ghost, then he took the life of Ran Deng with his own hands just now. Revenge?

Hearing this, the baby closed his eyes, held her hand, and tears flowed down his cheeks slowly.

Seeing the baby crying, Qiu Yebai felt distressed: "Baby..."

"No name." The baby said suddenly.

Qiu Yebai was stunned: "What?"

He closed his eyes and said softly, "From today onwards, my name is Wuming."

She was a little confused, so the baby likes to change names, but at this time, why is he suddenly so interested?
The baby slowly raised his eyes, and said calmly: "This is my name in the Mantra Palace."

When she heard this, she looked at the frail young man in front of her, felt a little pain in her heart, and put her arms around his shoulders: "Baby, why are you bothering? The matter of the Mantra Palace is over and I won't ask any more."

Is it because of her questioning that brought back the dark past and pain in the baby's past?
nameless……

nameless……

It turns out that the baby is really nameless, so has he been looking for his own name?
But the baby laughed softly, with a desolate and cold smile: "No, Sister Bai, you don't understand, this name is my initial imprint, the beginning of my life, and from today onwards, it can be regarded as the end. "

Qiu Yebai looked at his appearance, but felt that he seemed to be standing in a place she couldn't touch. At that moment, the breath on his body almost reminded her of Bailichu.

"Baby……"

"Nameless." The baby held her hand and said again, with an obscure but firm voice.

Seeing his stubborn appearance, Qiu Yebai hesitated for a moment, then sighed: "Okay, nameless."

No matter whether it is Wuming, Baobao, or even another name, he is always the boy she picked up and raised with her own hands.

"Wu Ming, is your surname Yun?" She looked at the baby, no, Wu Ming said.

Wuming froze, lowered his eyes, and said indifferently: "Sister Bai really wants to know what my last name is?"

Seeing his appearance, Qiu Yebai suddenly had some bad premonitions in her heart: "If you don't want to say it, then..."

Before the three words 'don't say it' came out, Wuming looked up at her, as if he had made a decision, and smiled strangely: "I don't have a surname, because I don't know who my father is, and no one gave me a surname." , even my mother doesn't know who my father is, she has too many men, so she just named me Wuming..."

Seeing the stern look on his expression, she felt pain in her heart: "No name..."

Wuming suddenly lowered his head, and smiled lowly: "But my mother has a surname, so I can be regarded as my mother's surname."

He paused, and said word by word: "My mother's surname is Du. Although she is also an illegitimate daughter and is not recognized by her family, my full name can barely be called Du Wuming."

When Qiu Yebai heard the words, her eyes widened slightly, and she let go of the baby's hand, she couldn't believe her ears: "What... what did you say, baby?"
