Suddenly, a ruin with a strong smell of blood and pungent smoke appeared in front of me.
She covered her nose, frowned, and wanted to leave when she accidentally stepped on something. She looked down and saw that from the vague outline it seemed to be a plaque.
She originally wanted to ignore it and leave, but she was inexplicitly suppressed by a pressure, forcing her to squat down and check the plaque.
It would have been better if she hadn't looked at it. Once she did, she was so frightened that her blood turned pale and she fell down in panic.
He instinctively stepped back, and in the cold moonlight, he suddenly saw the only character "Du" left on the plaque.
There is only one family with the surname Du in the capital, and there is only one family with the surname Du in such a large area of ruins.
Qiu Zhen stood up in panic and was about to escape.
However, the moment she turned around, men and women with disheveled hair and dressed in white walked out of the darkness.
A strong stench filled the air, and she could clearly hear the crunching sound of bones grinding.
This sound is...
Qiu Zhen watched in horror as those people in white trembled and walked towards her. Some were crawling on the ground, some were floating in the air without a head, and some were waving their arms and swaying left and right...
The cries became clearer and clearer, filling her ears. Qiu Zhen was completely frightened by this scene, and watched them open their bloody mouths to swallow her.
A scream of "Ah..." completely pulled Qiu Zhen back from the nightmare.
She was gasping for breath, stroking her chest. When she came to her senses and realized it was a nightmare, she was so frightened that she started crying.
"No, don't come to me. I didn't mean to do that. I really didn't mean to do that. Dad, I beg you, don't come to me. If you want to blame someone, blame you for abandoning our mother and daughter. If you want to blame someone, blame her, Du Yunge, for always suppressing me. If you want to blame someone, blame your Du Mansion for making people jealous. Don't come to me, don't come to me..."
In the darkness, someone suddenly let out a mocking laugh.
As soon as the voice came out, Qiu Zhen instantly froze on the bed. Her already trembling body was now shaking like a sieve. She slowly raised her tear-stained pale face, her hair dishevelled, and looked around in panic: "Who is it? Who's there?"
Just when Qiu Zhen thought that all this was an illusion, a woman in red with straight black hair and a ghostly face walked out step by step from the darkness.
When Qiu Zhen saw the woman's face clearly, she opened her mouth wide, her eyes almost popped out of her mouth, and she couldn't even close her mouth: "Du, Du Yunge?"
When her gaze fell from her beautiful face to the red dress she was wearing, Qiu Zhen felt her head buzzing and completely exploded. Wasn't that the phoenix robe that Du Yunge was wearing when she died?
She, is she really Du Yunge?
"Heh..., after not seeing you for a few years, you haven't changed at all. Sister, look at my face, has it changed?"
The woman in red slowly stroked her ghostly face. Suddenly, she pierced her sharp nails into her flesh and peeled it off bit by bit in front of Qiu Zhen. While peeling, she smiled strangely with her charming red lips.
"Sister, do you know how much pain it hurts? His dagger pierced my chest, leaving a huge bloody hole. Look, that's it!"
As she spoke, the woman in red suddenly pulled out a dagger that was gleaming with cold light and stabbed it into her own chest without mercy. The splattering blood was hot and instantly spilled all over the ground. Qiu Zhen's pupils contracted and his face was filled with fear.
"You, don't come over here, don't come over here, I beg you, don't come over here, don't come over here!"
Qiu Zhen's crying did not affect the woman in red at all. She kept fiddling with her bloody body as if she was talking about today's weather in a relaxed manner.
"The soft body was burned by fire, and the child that hadn't been born yet was suffocated to death, and you were just watching the fun from the side. Sister, how could I not miss you like this? Did you see that? Isn't my face beautiful?"
As the strange voice of the woman in red spread everywhere, her facial skin had been completely peeled off by her, revealing a bloody and foul-smelling face. Qiu Zhen covered her mouth in horror and kept backing away.
She wanted to scream, but found that she couldn't make any sound at all, especially after the woman tore off her entire face, she suddenly inserted one hand into her stomach and vigorously turned something over. At this time, Qiu Zhen looked at the large amount of blood on her body and feet, and her stomach began to churn constantly...
"No, don't move anymore, I beg you, don't move anymore!"
"Don't move? Why not? Qiu Zhen, do you know how miserable my death was? Compared to this, my pain is nothing? You can't stand it? I am so disappointed!"
The woman in red opened her bloody mouth and stared with her bloody eyes.
Finally, something seemed to be taken out of her stomach. When she showed a weird smile and threw the thing in her hand mercilessly to Qiu Zhen, who was trembling with her head in her hands, a sharp scream instantly pierced the night sky of Yongning Palace.
A few crows were frightened and flapped their wings, cackling and flew away.
But in Yongning Palace, it was still eerily quiet.
If you look closely, you will find that there are countless guards, eunuchs and palace maids lying in all directions inside and outside the Yongning Palace.
And those who were sleeping soundly were naturally still sleeping soundly, and Qiu Zhen's voice did not affect anyone.
At that time, Qiu Zhen was so frightened by the woman in red that he was panting more than breathing in.
She knelt on the cold floor, trembling like a sieve, and kowtowed to the woman in red. While kowtowing, she dodged the five poisonous creatures around her, such as snot and tears, including scorpions, poisonous snakes, toads and spiders.
It was not difficult to tell from her frightened eyes that she was terrified to the extreme at this moment. Unfortunately, these poisonous creatures only surrounded her and did not bite her, but they could scare her to death.
She wanted to faint directly, but the scary ghost girl in front of her would make her smell an unknown gas as soon as she fainted. She couldn't faint or vomit. Qiu Zhen felt that she was going to die. She had never wanted to die as much as she did at that moment.
"Please, let me go, let me go, I beg you, I will give you whatever you want, I will burn paper for you, lots of gold, even though you are dead, you will be rich and powerful in the underworld, okay? Please let me go..."
"Hahaha, if I let you go, then who will let me go? What about my son? And my unborn child? Who of you has ever let us go? It's too late to beg me now!"
"No, this is not my fault. It's all the fault of the emperor. It's all the fault of the emperor, sister. I really didn't do anything. I didn't do anything. Wuwu, please, don't come to me. Don't come to me."
The red-dressed woman's eyes were filled with more sarcasm: "You've completely denied it. When disaster strikes, everyone flees! Qiu Zhen, you don't really think that the dead know nothing, do you?"
Qiu Zhen, whose consciousness was beginning to fade, suddenly raised his head when he heard this. The fear in his eyes was suddenly replaced by vigilance: "No, you are not Du Yunge. That woman is dead. A dead person wouldn't know so much. You, who are you?"
The woman in red casually pulled her hair, and instantly a large clump of hair fell off. She casually scattered her hair onto the five poisonous creatures surrounding Qiu Zhen.
Then, she shook her paper-white arms, and with a casual pull, a large piece of flesh fell off. She threw it down casually, and the poisonous snakes instantly wrapped around it. In a short while, it was divided up completely.
She shook the head that was hanging tremblingly on her head, opened her bloody eyes, and looked at Qiu Zhen sinisterly.
"Who am I? Haha, who am I? Your surname is Qiu? Tell me, who am I? Look, my face is gone, my stomach is empty, and my head is about to fall off. Do you want to try and see if you can dig out these eyeballs?"
In fact, Qiu Zhen fainted from fright after seeing her throw her own flesh into the snakes.
This time, when the woman in red turned around, she just frowned slightly and did not move forward. Regardless of the fact that she was covered in blood, she waved her hand and a chair appeared behind her. She sat on it as a matter of course, and a cold voice suddenly rang out.
"Those who want to watch the fun can come in now!"
The shadow outside the door and the person lying on the eaves froze at the same time. Obviously, they didn't expect to be discovered so quickly.
But unexpectedly, the person who finally pushed the door open and walked in was the dark shadow at the door, while the person on the eaves quietly hid his tracks.
In the darkness, the curtains in the distance were dancing up and down in the wind, and the air was filled with a heavy smell of blood and a special fishy smell.
The man in black frowned and waved his hand. Not only did the door behind him close, but even the window that had been opened at some point was also closed tightly.
In the dim candlelight, the shadow glanced at Qiu Zhen lying on the ground, and gradually set his gaze on the disheveled red-dressed woman with her back to her. His eyes were cold and scrutinizing, "Who are you?"
"Qiu Zhen's enemy, I wonder if the young lady is satisfied with this answer?"
At that time, the red-clothed woman's voice no longer had the strange tremor just now, but returned to normal, as if she had already determined that the man in black who appeared here at this time was a friend, not an enemy.
Hearing such an affirmative tone, even the man in black raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"How do you know..."
Before she could finish her next question, the woman in red suddenly stood up and with a tug of her hand, all the bloody disguise on her face was removed, including the blood-red dress. The woman in red, oh no, now I should say...
Shangguan Qingxi!
The figure in the dark froze in place for a moment when he saw her face.
However, Shangguan Qingxi did not notice that there was another person in the room besides the three of them.
She threw her outfit directly in front of the man in black in front of her, and looked at her with a smile: "Does this outfit look familiar to you?"
The man in black didn't pay attention at first, but when the light of the night pearl suddenly flashed in the room, the bloodstained clothes in front of him made the man in black stunned in place.
"This, this is not the emperor of that year..."
Before he could finish his next words, the man in black had already covered his mouth nervously, staring in amazement at Shangguan Qingxi, who was dressed in black and looked capable and stunning.
How could she still be the frail and sickly beauty they usually saw?
"You, who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I know who you are. I came here today not only to intimidate this woman, but more importantly, I came to see you!"
After hearing this, the man in black was completely dumbfounded: "See, see me?"
"Liu Ying, you have been hiding your true colors for so many years, isn't it just to wait for me?"
This sudden remark made the man in black stagger, his eyes widened in disbelief, "You, you are, you are the child I took away that year?"
"It's me. I'm the little girl you put on the Snake Island."
Shangguan Qingxi's calm tone stimulated Liuying so much that she almost fainted.
"No, that's not right. How could you possibly know this? At that time, it wasn't even a hundred days old. You..."
In fact, Shangguan Qingxi knew from the beginning why she appeared on Lingshe Island.
Because it was this Liuying who placed her there and waited for the people on the island to take her away, and then she disappeared.
Before that, Liuying had taken care of her for nearly a hundred days, and it was from her conversation with a man that she learned of all her calculations.
It was also because of this that she gained the trust of the people on Lingshe Island according to Liuying's design, and passed layer after layer of tests, and finally achieved her current status.
Over the years, she has been working hard and expanding her power so that one day she can personally put an end to her enemies.
In the Yongning Palace alone, she had planted as many as ten insiders.
As her power continued to expand, things that she didn't understand before began to reveal themselves to her like peeling off threads of an onion.
Likewise, she did not forget Liuying who brought her into this world.
She hadn't contacted her all these years, just for this day.
Back then, she could never have imagined that Liuying, whom she sent out to find medicine for her father, would become the only reason for her to survive in the world today. If it weren't for Liuying, she might have been dead long ago.
As Liuying surfaced, she learned from an informant in the palace that her Ruyan also survived.
Unfortunately, Xi Que and Jin Mo will never come back, never again!
Shangguan Qingxi had never thought carefully about whose child she was. The only thing she knew was that when she woke up, she was already in Liuying's arms.
At that time, she thought it was all an illusion, but when she actually touched her face, she realized that it was real.
She was reborn, and was reborn as the child in Liuying's arms.
God was indeed kind to her.
"Because I was reborn with my memories, because I am...!"
Although Shangguan Qingxi only opened her mouth and made no sound when she uttered the last few words, Liuying could see it clearly and was immediately shocked to the point that her legs went limp.
"What did you say? You, you are...?"
"Ying'er, don't doubt what you see. I am her. I am not dead. I was reborn in this child's body. From the beginning to the end, I know that it was you who saved me. From the beginning to the end, I know that you were reborn for me and walked step by step to where you are today."
"Ying'er, thank you for everything you've done for me. It's been twelve years. I'm back. So, our revenge has officially begun!"
At this moment, Liuying didn't know what emotion to use to describe her inner feelings, but Shangguan Qingxi's calmness made her believe that everything was true.
How many years has it been since someone called Liuying this name?
"But, but how is this possible? How could it be such a coincidence? How...,"
When she said this, Liuying seemed to have thought of something and looked suddenly at her master.
"No wonder, no wonder, the child was clearly dead back then, and clearly no longer had any breath, but in order to make you believe that she was still alive, I lied to you and said that she was alive, so you left me with a smile."
"But, but just a quarter of an hour after you died, the child's body miraculously warmed up, her face was no longer as dark blue as before, and there were no signs of suffocation. She is alive, she is alive."
"But I never expected that the soul of that child would be you, young lady? This, this is incredible. It must be God's will that allows us, master and servant, to work together to clear the Du family of this great injustice, right?"
Liu Ying was talking so excitedly that she didn't notice that Shangguan Qingxi was in a dazed state, staring at her with her mouth open.
Wait, what do you mean she lied to me?
To say that she was alive, or that she left with a smile?
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
What does it mean that after she died, the child came back to life, and the soul was still her own?
Why didn't she have any impression of what she said?
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes that it was Liuying who saved her, how could she have been so sure that she was the child?
But now this girl told her that the identity of the child was... How was this possible?
"Girl, you, what's wrong with you?"
Finally, Liuying noticed that something was wrong with Shangguan Qingxi and asked in a low voice.
"Tell me clearly, who is the child you saved, that is, me now? Who is she?"
After hearing this, Liu Ying finally realized what was wrong. She looked at the beautiful yet unfamiliar face in front of her in surprise.
"You, you don't know?"
Shangguan Qingxi's eyes wandered and fell on the unconscious woman lying on the ground. Thinking of the horror of that night, she felt cold all over.
"My only memory is Lan'er's tragic death, and I committed suicide, slowly waiting for the blood to drain out. At that time, I felt as if all the strength in my body had been drained away, and my soul also became scattered..."
"The rest of my memory is gone. I can even feel the burning pain when the fire spread to my body..."
"Stop, stop it, miss, please don't say it!"
Liuying was originally a little wary, but after hearing these words, she could no longer suppress her inner excitement. She staggered forward and threw herself at Shangguan Qingxi's feet. Even though she was as strong as she was, she couldn't stop her tears from falling.
"Miss, my dear lady, you didn't die immediately after you committed suicide. You were waiting for me. You were waiting for me to come over."
"So you faked your death to deceive everyone. You used your remaining breath to secretly inject the baby in your belly, desperately trying to save her life."
"Unfortunately, you lost too much blood, and there was fire all around. When I rushed over, the child had already suffocated to death."
"And you, after hearing that the child was still alive and that it was a girl, you, died... Woohoo, God has eyes, God has eyes!"
So that's how it is!
Shangguan Qingxi stood there in a daze for a full quarter of an hour before she slowly lowered her eyes and looked at Liuying who was crying uncontrollably. Tears also blurred her vision at some point.
"It seems that at that time, I basically had no consciousness. If it weren't for this child holding on to his last breath, I'm afraid I wouldn't have waited for you to come. It's just that I calculated you, but not my identity."
"Haha, I was actually reborn into the body of Wei Yuchen's daughter. Hahaha, ridiculous, ridiculous!"
"Miss, even the heavens cannot tolerate what this dog emperor has done. This is a chance for us to seek revenge. Miss, your current identity may be the key to our victory!"
Shangguan Qingxi touched her face thoughtfully, with a complex light flashing in her eyes.
"But my face doesn't even look like the one I had back then!"
When Liu Ying heard this, she suddenly thought of something, "Don't worry, young lady, this face of yours was actually tampered with by me secretly. My senior brother modified this face, so it can't be seen. If young lady wants to restore it, my senior brother may have a way."
"Transformation? You mean this face has been disguised?"
Liu Ying said hurriedly: "No, it's not a disguise. This face has never been disguised. Instead, the facial muscles and bones have been changed through a method of changing bones. This method is very profound and mysterious. My senior brother learned it from my master, Elder Xuanji. In this world, only my senior brother can do this."
"Back then, I was afraid that you would look too much like your old face when you grew up, so I did something wrong. But I didn't expect that even so, this face is still so beautiful that it makes people afraid. If you restore your true appearance, wouldn't it be...?"
"Is there such a profound and mysterious method in this world?"
Even the well-informed Shangguan Qingxi couldn't help but tremble with fear.
"Then Miss, do you want to recover? Senior Brother has already arrived in Beijing and can help you recover at any time."
Shangguan Qingxi shook her head: "I never want to see that face again in my life. It's not just me, you guys feel the same way, right? It hurts every time you see it, why bother yourself with making it unpleasant?"
"Although I don't know how similar this body is to my previous life, since we are mother and daughter, it must be not much different. I don't want to see it again."
"But if you don't rely on that face, how can you get close to Wei Yuchen?"
"I have my own opinion on this. Let's just leave it at that for now. Don't bring it up again."
After learning her true identity, Shangguan Qingxi was not surprised at all, but became more melancholy.
This result was far from what she had expected. In this case, how could she still talk about marrying into the Phoenix Palace?
After all, Wei Jie is still her uncle. How can a niece marry her uncle?
But she didn't want to give up such a good chess piece, so what should she do? Could it be that she really wanted to commit incest?
"Miss, where do you live now? How can I contact you in the future?"
Liuying, who had just met and recognized each other, felt that she had a lot to say to her master.
But when the words came to my lips, I didn't know where to start. I could only look at her greedily and hold her tightly, afraid that when I woke up again, all this would be fake, it didn't exist, it was just a dream.
Shangguan Qingxi gently helped Liuying up, and the master and servant sat together.
She touched Liuying's no longer young face, and tears couldn't stop falling.
"Good Ying'er, I'm fine. I've been very happy these years. I have many relatives, brothers and sisters around me. They take care of me like they take care of their own relatives. So, don't cry for me anymore. Do you hear me?"
Liuying wanted to say something but stopped herself. Shangguan Qingxi had already wiped away her tears and forced a smile.
"Let's not talk about this. Why are you okay?"
Before Shangguan Qingxi came here, she had filled the entire Yongning Palace with aphrodisiac incense. How could Liuying not have inhaled it?
"Because I went to see Ruyan, I didn't expect that I escaped. Speaking of which, if I hadn't escaped, wouldn't I have missed such a wonderful show?"
More importantly, she waited for her little master, the little person she had been praying for all these years, but what she never expected was that this little person shared the same soul with her mistress. She could even feel that they seemed to be one step closer to success.
"So how are you going to arrange this person, Miss?"
Liuying kicked Qiu Zhen right in the nose, causing him to bleed profusely. The poisonous creatures around him suddenly became excited when they smelled the fresh smell of blood.
"Just scare her tonight. When she wakes up tomorrow morning, she will naturally start to be afraid every night."
Shangguan Qingxi's confidence made Liu Ying very curious, "Why?"
"Because tonight, there will be more than just a killing. Tomorrow morning, there will be a good show!"
Shangguan Qingxi snorted coldly and brushed away the poisonous creatures on the ground. When she looked down again, they had disappeared.
These poisons may be extremely dangerous and terrifying in the eyes of others, but to her, they are like her best friends.
She has been exposed to these things since she was a child, and they are all derivatives of her careful care and are extremely close to her.
Even Liu Ying was frightened by her action. "Is it really okay to hang them like this?"
Shangguan Qingxi raised her eyebrows, "Don't worry, these are my good friends who fought together. Okay, I have to go now, and I'll leave the rest to you."
"When will the young lady come again?"
Liuying held her hand reluctantly, and Qingxi looked at her with emotion.
"Don't worry, I will have another identity, and it will be easy to enter the palace. Just don't send me any news, so as to avoid being suspected without reason. Understand?"
Liu Ying nodded with tears in her eyes. Shangguan Qingxi thought for a moment and said, "Don't tell Ruyan about this for the time being. She is more emotional than you. If you don't handle it well, it will reveal a flaw!"
After explaining the follow-up matters, Shangguan Qingxi bid farewell to the reluctant Liuying, easily transformed into a black shadow, and disappeared above the Yongning Palace.
But when she turned the corner, an inadvertent glance made her notice that the Qinzheng Hall was still brightly lit at this time, and what flashed in her mind was Wei Yuchen's sinister, dangerous and stern face.
She pursed her lips and was about to go the other way, but was suddenly stopped by a dark shadow, changing her original direction.
Even though she was frightened, her strong on-the-spot reaction allowed her to calm down quickly. She just stared at the tall man in black who gave her a strange feeling with her eyes wide open. "Who are you?"
Being able to appear beside her silently and control her in a moment was enough to show that this person's skills were superior to hers. Just a glance at the dangerous and cold aura emanating from this person made Shangguan Qingxi frown slightly, "Who are you?"
The man in black just stood there quietly, with a pair of cold eyes that seemed to be able to suck her in in the blink of an eye. This feeling made her feel inexplicably flustered. She frowned slightly and gave him a cold look: "Inexplicable!"
So he wanted to turn around and leave.
Suddenly, the man behind her clenched his fists, and his figure flashed, blocking her way and holding her slender shoulders tightly: "Are you Du Yunge?"
Shangguan Qingxi looked calm, but her heart was already in turmoil. She stared at him intently as if someone was choking her throat, her beautiful eyes wide open, "You, what are you talking about?"
The man in black took a deep breath and looked at the beautiful face in front of him. In the dark night, he suddenly pulled off his mask, revealing stunning his face.
At that moment, Shangguan Qingxi felt a loud bang in her head, as if something exploded. She stood there, forgetting to react.
The man seemed to be confirming her identity. His clear and steady voice sounded faintly at this time: "Are you Du Yunge?"
"I, I don't understand what you're talking about."
Shangguan Qingxi clenched her fists tightly and stepped back subconsciously.
The man in black didn't intend to give her time to think and moved forward step by step.
You retreat, I advance.
If you retreat again, I will advance again.
When there was no way to retreat, Shangguan Qingxi could no longer suppress the panic in her heart and raise her eyes in anger.
"What do you want to do?"
"Just now in Yongning Palace, you were not panicked at all! You and Mu Han, oh, or should I say Liu Ying?"
Before the man in black finished speaking, Shangguan Qingxi grabbed his throat with her backhand as fast as lightning: "What did you say? Were you in Yongning Palace just now?"
They didn't even feel anything from beginning to end?
Shangguan Qingxi's face turned pale in an instant, and when she looked at the man in black in front of her, her eyes were filled with murderous intent.
How could the man in black not see this, but he was neither panicked nor anxious. He just looked at her face greedily, and subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to touch her passionately, but Shangguan Qingxi struggled to avoid him in a vigilant manner.
Looking at the abnormal man in black, she gradually increased the strength of her hands. When she saw that the man in black was about to die, she seemed to hear him say something in a daze.
