When Shuang'er arrived there, she saw a nanny sitting on a chair drinking tea. On one side stood the women who were sent here or who volunteered because their families were poor. On the other side, soldiers were registering the candidates for palace maids. Shuang'er went to register, and the soldier asked, "What's your name? How old are you this year?" Shuang'er replied, "My name is Shuang'er, and I'm fourteen years old this year."
After registering on the paper, the officer said, "Okay, go line up over there."
Shuang'er walked to the group of women and stood in the line like them. After a long while, the nanny put down the teacup in her hand and said, "I am here today to select palace maids on behalf of the Queen. The selected ones will be sent to various palaces to serve the Queen or the princes and princesses. Those who have bad intentions should give up this idea as soon as possible, otherwise you will lose your life."
Everyone kept a proper posture and lowered their heads to listen to the nanny's lecture. The nanny went on to say, "After entering the palace, there will be people specifically teaching you the rules. You must remember, don't listen to what you shouldn't listen to, and keep your mouth shut about what you shouldn't say, lest you say something wrong one day and offend some empress. Just think about it and see if your head is still sharp." Then the nanny led these people into the palace. After going through all the twists and turns in the palace, Shuang'er entered the East Palace as she wished.
It was not easy to find Qingji here. Qingji followed the traces of the marching army and kept chasing them. With each village he passed, Qingji became more angry. Finally, after two months of tracking, he found the base camp of this private army. Seeing that the army had too many people, Qingji hid aside and looked for an opportunity. As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. Qingji wanted to catch the leader first. While Qingji was still waiting, the prince actually brought Shuang'er with him. Qingji hid in the dark and stared at Shuang'er standing next to the prince. When the prince was discussing things with the generals and Shuang'er was the only one left in the tent, Qingji slipped into the tent and asked Shuang'er what was going on. It turned out that Shuang'er had offered herself to get close to the prince when she was in the East Palace. Qingji looked at Shuang'er with a complicated look. Shuang'er said with red eyes, "I'm sorry, this is my only way."
Qingji said with a trembling voice: "What about me? Didn't I say that I would help you get revenge and you can wait for me in Luoyang. Why do you have to humiliate yourself like this?" Qingji's eyes were slightly red. Shuang'er didn't dare to look into Qingji's eyes. She kept sobbing and saying: "I'm sorry, Qingji..."
Qingji looked at Shuang'er like this, and finally couldn't resist his own heart, and said: "You try to find a way to leave, I will take action in the next few days." Shuang'er said in a low voice: "I won't leave, now that I have come this far, I will not leave."
"Shuang'er, be obedient and leave here." Qingji didn't know why his heart hurt. He left without looking at Shuang'er. Shuang'er sat on the ground weakly. When the prince entered the tent, he saw Shuang'er sitting on the ground with tear marks on her cheeks. She was as beautiful as a painting. The prince hurried over to support Shuang'er and said aptly, "Oh, who has provoked my Shuang'er? Look how sad she is."
Shuang'er said with a typical smile: "No one hurt me, I just miss home." The prince hugged Shuang'er and sat beside the bed, coaxing...
A few days later, Qingji felt that it was time to take action, so he sneaked into the prince's tent and waited for the prince to come in before taking action. However, instead of waiting for the news of the prince coming in, he received the news that the prince had been assassinated. Qingji said to himself, "Oh no." Then he ran towards Shuang'er's tent.
In Shuang'er's tent, the prince sat in the main seat and let the military doctor bandage his wounds. He looked at Shuang'er with gloomy eyes. At this time, Shuang'er was forced to kneel on the ground. When Qingji entered, he saw the prince throwing a teacup at Shuang'er in anger. Qingji didn't care about that anymore and cast a spell on the prince. The prince and everyone else just stared at Shuang'er. When the guards reacted, the prince was already injured.
Qingji resisted the guards and came to Shuang'er and said, "I told you to leave, why didn't you listen? I'll block them, you sneak out and don't come back." Qingji's eyes were full of determination. Shuang'er glanced at Qingji, not knowing what he was thinking.
Then Shuang'er stood up. Qingji thought Shuang'er was going to go out, but Shuang'er picked up the knife on the ground with red eyes and rushed towards the prince. The guards beside the prince stopped Shuang'er and stabbed her with a backhand. "No~" Qingji exclaimed, followed by a roar of "Uh-huh~" that shook everyone else in the tent to the ground. Then he immediately rushed to Shuang'er, hugged her with red eyes and a trembling voice and said, "Why are you so stupid? I told you that I will do the dangerous things."
Shuang'er raised her hand and covered Qingji's face and said, "This is my revenge. I did it with my own hands. Unfortunately, I am still not capable enough and failed to kill those beasts." Qingji held Shuang'er's hand and said, "I will take care of these things. You just need to be responsible for living happily."
Shuang'er looked at Qingji gently and said, "Qingji, do you know that in these short ten years, I owe you nothing. I can only repay you in the next life." Qingji said, "No, I won't let you die." He cut his finger and fed his blood to Shuang'er.
The prince and his private soldiers surrounded Qingji at this moment, encircling Qingji and Shuang'er in the middle. Qingji held Shuang'er in his arms and waited lonely for Shuang'er to wake up. "Go ahead, what are you all standing there for!" At the prince's order, the private soldiers rushed towards Qingji.
Qingji was really angry at this moment. He said while practicing his Qi, "Since I became a human, I have been enduring all the things you humans do. I never wanted to be your enemy. My step-by-step concessions have made you even more aggressive and hurt the person who is most important to me. Now you are ready to bear my wrath."
Qingji's voice passed through everyone's mind. They were all stunned, and then they heard the roar of a monster "Uh-hoo~" and felt the earth shaking. Some timid ones had already begun to flee. Qingji did not let anyone go. Qingji began to cast spells with himself as the center. The prince and his private soldiers fell one by one at a visible speed.
Qingji used magic to carry Shuang'er and walked out of the tent. The outside of the tent was already stained red with blood. Qingji walked out by stepping on the bodies of the private soldiers without seeing them. Shuang'er, whose clothes were stained red with his own blood, looked like she was asleep. Qingji walked out of the camp step by step and used his ability to travel at a rapid pace to rush towards the small mountain village in Luoyang.
The thatched hut at the foot of the mountain remained unchanged from a few years ago. Qingji put Shuang'er on the bed, tore off a corner of his clothes, soaked it with blood, and wiped the blood off Shuang'er. "Shuang'er, you must merge with my blood as soon as possible and wake up. I don't have much time left. You must wake up before I leave, okay?" Qingji looked at Shuang'er who was lying there motionless with a sad face.
Shuang'er slept for nearly five days, and Qingji stayed by her side for five days. When Shuang'er slowly opened her eyes and saw the roof of the thatched hut in front of her, she didn't know what she was thinking. Shuang'er turned her head and saw Qingji lying on the side of the bed. Shuang'er put her hands on Qingji's face with difficulty.
