Chapter 723 Prologue (Part 4)
Fengyuan, the imperial palace.
The cold wind blows from the sky, but is unwilling to dispel the remaining chill.
Just as Yang Liushi had used some unknown means to make the little fox call her "mother", a trace of blood appeared on Xu Suisui's neck.
“.”
With his eyes tightly closed, Xu Suisui's body trembled.
She felt the sticky, pungent blood, but felt no pain.
Is this what it feels like before death? Xu Suisui silently waited for the moment when his consciousness blurred, and countless images flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.
A slightly warm campus, a cold hospital bed, a woman with tears on her face, a man with white hair Yes.
As the new empress, Xu Suisui not only had no guards around her, but she didn't even have any life-saving items on her.
During the half month of defending Fengyuan, she used up all her system points, and even other life-saving treasures were given to Qin Zhengqiu, Xu Quan and others who had fought in the battlefield several times.
It seems that now it is not only Xinfeng that has reached the end of its rope.
Even she, a time traveler with a cheat, has reached a desperate situation.
But since the situation was already so difficult, why didn't she ask Wei Changtian for help other than the two words "save me"?
Perhaps only Xu Suisui himself understands this question.
In short, in the last moment before her death, she became calm instead, and the originally vague roar of fighting in the distance gradually became clearer.
It’s so noisy. As Xu Suisui thought about this, his eyelids became heavier.
She felt as if she was falling into a bottomless hole, with darkness all around her.
It's okay.
I've already died once anyway.
Even if I die again, I can ... Suddenly, Xu Suisui's fingers trembled.
Because just before she felt she was about to fall to the bottom of the cave, an extremely familiar and somewhat confusing voice suddenly sounded behind her.
"no."
"You're acting here?"
"A self-torture trick?"
“.”
His body trembled violently, as if a ray of sunlight suddenly shot into the cave, and Xu Suisui felt that his whole body was suddenly bright again.
She trembled and slowly opened her eyes, turned around, and saw Wei Changtian, who was squinting at her just three steps behind her, holding a masked man with a broken right hand in his hand.
Blood kept gushing out from the broken wound, flowing on the ground.
"Wei, Wei Changtian, you..."
Xu Suisui stared at all this in a daze, and didn't say a word for a long time.
Wei Changtian waited for a while, and finally interrupted impatiently:
"What's wrong with me?"
"You really didn't arrange this assassin on purpose?"
“.”
Subconsciously shaking his head, Xu Suisui then realized that the assassin's sword was not actually swung out, but was blocked by Wei Changtian at the last moment.
As for the blood on the neck, it was just the assassin's blood.
Realizing that all the "hallucinations before death" were just scaring herself, Xu Suisui's tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.
When Wei Changtian saw this, he rolled his eyes and waved his hand. The assassin's sword under his feet flew into the air and instantly swept across its owner's neck.
“Puff!”
Blood spurted out, and the assassin's body slowly fell down amid Wei Changtian's muttering.
"I give up. You are an emperor, but you don't even have a guard around you?"
"Besides, you can just change to a Qing Jue jade pendant as soon as possible."
"What? You don't want to live anymore?"
“.”
It is difficult to tell whether Wei Changtian's words were a question, a mockery, or both.
In short, all the grievances and cowardice in Xu Suisui's heart, which was hit by him, burst out at this moment.
“Woo woo woo!”
"No!"
"I have nothing left!"
"Woo woo! Are you satisfied?"
"If you had come any later I would have died!"
"Why did you just come?! Woohoo!"
"You promised me you'd be there right away!"
Dragging her long golden skirt, she ran forward towards the sky full of flames.
Under Wei Changtian's astonished gaze, Xu Suisui suddenly threw herself into the latter's arms, crying loudly and beating his chest like crazy.
"Fuck!"
"Are you crazy?"
Wei Changtian was horrified and immediately grabbed Xu Suisui's wrist in a panic.
Although the latter's "attack" was blocked, his crying became even louder.
“Woo woo woo!”
"Wei Changtian! Have you been here for a long time?"
"Have you been hiding and watching me make fun of you?"
"If there hadn't been an assassin just now, you wouldn't have come out!"
“Woo woo woo!”
“Say something!!”
“.”
Looking up at Wei Changtian with tears streaming down her face, Xu Suisui struggled and screamed, the intricate gold ornaments in her hair shaking violently in the moonlight and firelight.
Judging from her current appearance, let alone being an empress, she would look like a shrew if she changed her clothes.
If you consider that she is now in Wei Changtian's arms, it would be like an aggrieved wife tearfully accusing her husband of cheating on her.
Rather than questioning, it is more of a way of venting.
And in this venting there is also a sense of relief from having had a heavy burden lifted off my shoulders.
In front of Qin Zhengqiu, Shen Ran, Xu Quan, the Buddhist monks, and the millions of people in Fengyuan City, no matter how nervous and uneasy Xu Suisui was, he would try his best to appear calm.
But as soon as she saw Wei Changtian, she instantly dropped all her disguises and turned back into the female college student who didn't have much ability but had great ambitions, and was finally beaten to a pulp by reality.
The sound of war drums never stops, and the spring moon shines on Fengyuan.
In this way, Xu Suisui cried her heart out amid the rumbling sound of fighting.
As for Wei Changtian's reaction to this, his expression changed from disgust to calm. By now, he actually understood that the situation in Xinfeng had reached the most critical moment.
After all, even if we leave aside this assassin, the fact that Xu Suisui has been crying here for so long and no one has come to protect him shows that the entire Fengyuan must be at the end of its strength.
If we speculate in this way, Xu Suisui's venting now can wait a while! That's not right! Didn't I come here to ask about Chu Xianping? Why do I start to sympathize with her? ? ? Suddenly realizing that he almost went astray, Wei Changtian immediately frowned and wanted to talk to Xu Suisui about business.
It was only then that he discovered that the latter had fainted without him knowing when.
???
Wei Changtian's expression froze. He put one arm around Xu Suisui's waist and pinched her wrist with the other.
Shit! I actually fainted!
After hesitating for a moment, Wei Changtian did not wake up Xu Suisui immediately, but turned his head to look at a rockery outside the corridor.
Soon, Tang Chen, who had been hiding behind the rockery, came closer with an obviously strange look in his eyes.
Wei Changtian was too lazy to explain anything to Tang Chen, so he just held Xu Suisui in his arms and asked seriously:
"Did you use the mind-viewing technique just now?"
"Yes."
“.”
"Observing the Heart" is the magical power that Tang Chen uses to preliminarily screen out spies in the army. There is a similar power in the system, which is said to be able to detect a person's hostility towards another person. The greater the hostility, the redder the mist above the head of the observed person will be.
Regarding what Xu Suisui said just now, “reading minds” is definitely useless. Instead, “observing minds” is more direct.
"How about it?"
Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes and asked again: "Based on your experience, how hostile is she to me?"
"Reply, young master."
Tang Chen looked at Xu Suisui, who was leaning on Wei Changtian's shoulder with his eyes closed, and lowered his head to answer truthfully.
"The mist was pure white, without a trace of red."
