In this way, the young girl tightly hid her curiosity, and was led by her mother through the embossed flying phoenix all the way, and stood in front of the desk full of tablets of previous queens.

"Feng'er, put your hand on it."

At that time, her mommy didn't even look at her, she just pointed her finger at the depression on the desk, signaling her to put her immature little hand on it.

Although she was young, she was very obedient, without thinking too much, she just put her hand on the cold table.

Then……

--------

Thinking of this, Chu Fengyi couldn't help shaking her shoulders slightly, and her face also turned a little pale.

No one knows better than her, as long as you put your hand on it, what will be waiting for you!

But, she really has no choice!

Either she succeeds in driving Ping Shun away, or she will completely lose her most beloved daughter!

Thinking that Lingxi might be abducted by Ping Shun, leaving her alone, Chu Fengyi completely cast aside the hesitation in her eyes.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then put her hand on the depression on the table that was so familiar in her memory.

"Ding!"

After the faint sound, Chu Fengyi's palm felt a sharp pain.

She frowned slightly, but did not dare to move, allowing the tingling pain to continue to deepen and penetrate.

And the picture of her childhood overlapped with her eyes, when she was so young that she was stabbed in an instant and cried bitterly, "Queen, it hurts, Feng'er hurts so much!"

"Snapped!"

However, what she cried at that time was a slap in the face from the queen mother without hesitation, and a very disgusting reprimand, "Princess must have the demeanor of a princess, let alone such a small pain and injury, even if she is injured Even if you cut off your arm alive, you must not cry out in pain!"

At that time, she was really too young, the burning pain on her face even overwhelmed the pain in her palm, and she had to swallow all her grievances into her stomach.

Now, no one would slap her in the face anymore, and even the pain in the palm of her hand didn't seem to be as terrifying as her childhood memories.

The corner of Chu Fengyi's mouth raised a sarcasm, and she said silently for a few seconds, "One, two, three, four, five..."

After counting to ten, she retracted the palm on the table, tightened it and pressed it against her side.

Soon, there were bright red blood dripping slowly from her clenched fist.

One, two, three...

Those bloody flowers fell on the ground, dotted and stained the ground beside Chu Fengyi's feet, but she didn't notice it, her eyes were quietly watching the drawer in front of her.

And the vague memories of childhood resurfaced in front of his eyes again.

"Queen, Feng'er's hands are still a little... still a little painful..."

This immature and aggrieved voice is the cry of her who was ignorant when she was a child, longing for her mother's loving eyes.

However, what he got in return was a cold stare all year round, "It's useless, I can't stand the pain, how can I take on a big responsibility in the future?! You have to remember, there is still a whole country waiting for you Come to supervise, you have no qualifications to be weak and incompetent!"

At that time, Chu Fengyi was only seven or eight years old, and her figure was just higher than the desk where the memorial tablet was enshrined, but under those stern and emotionless eyes, she stopped all sobbing.

Because from the beginning to the end, her strict mother didn't look at her much.

Those perennially cold eyes are always looking at the desk in front of him, to be precise, the drawer on the desk with the pattern of blue whale engraved.

"One, two, three, four...ten! Go!"

Following her mother's cold voice, the drawer with the blue whale pattern opened accordingly.

Chu Fengyi, who was young at that time, suddenly looked over curiously, only to find that there was a very delicate wooden box in the pop-up drawer.

"Queen, what is this?" At that time, she was like a curious baby. Even though she was not allowed to ask casually, she still couldn't hide her curiosity.

There was still no warmth in her queen mother's eyes, she just pointed at the extremely delicate box, without the slightest desire to pick it up, her voice was colder than her eyes, "This is the box that our country W has ever held. The magic weapon that the queen does not pass on, it can help you fulfill your wish, and accordingly, you have to pay the price for it.”

"The price?" The young girl slowly chewed these two words.

"That's right, there has never been a free lunch in this world. If you want to get it, you have to give it along with it." Her mother's voice was still cold and mechanically calm, "Just like a mermaid wants to become a human, she must take herself. The most beautiful singing voice can be replaced by a witch. Even to go ashore, she only has one night, and as the sun rises, she can only become one of the countless waves in the sea."

At that time, she liked the story of the mermaid very much, and even felt sorry for the tragic experience of the mermaid.

So until now, she has always avoided the Queen's magic weapon that her mother told her back then.

If it wasn't really helpless, she would never think of the things that had been buried in her memory for many years.

She couldn't tell herself whether there was really no way to stop the situation in front of her, or whether the thirteen years of wandering had made her lose her self-confidence, and she could no longer think of any way to deal with it.

She didn't think of a way to solve it, but like a drowning person, she grabbed this magical life-saving straw and prepared to win a gamble.

Just like her mother said many years ago, no one knows what they will lose once they use the queen's magic weapon, whether it is their appearance, or their health, or even their sentimental heart.

She doesn't care about these, as long as she is still alive, can ensure that her daughter will not leave her homeland, and can inherit the throne of queen like her, then nothing else is important.

After all, she has nothing to fear losing now, and her only daughter Lingxi is her everything in the future.

If even Lingxi can't be kept, then Chu Fengyi doesn't know what's the point of living.

"Mother, you said back then that once the Secret Treasure is activated, you will pay a corresponding price, but I really have nowhere to go, and there is no other good way."

Chu Fengyi stretched out her other uninjured hand, took the exquisite wooden box in her hand, lowered her head to examine it carefully, and murmured softly, "Back then you kept warning me that it would be best if I never When you use this thing, don't go your old way. But Queen Mother, I still let you down."

Speaking of this, Chu Fengyi sighed faintly, the corners of her mouth filled with bitterness, "Whether it was before or now, I'm probably the child you dislike the most. Mother, wait for me to go down a hundred years later, and then I will bear the burden to you." Please forgive me! I took this thing away."
