Chapter 100: Tears fall into the bone jar, a tiger falls into the plain
Xiao Qinggu and his group returned to Longcheng. Yuan Ji came out to greet them, but as expected, he did not see Xiao Qinggu.
"How is she?"
Yuan Ji knew that Xiao Qinggu was a quirky but soft-hearted princess. Looking at the silent faces of Cheng Yishui and others, he still asked this question.
"The host and deputy host took a few people to follow her to the charity cemetery. You already know it, so why are you asking?" Only Ju Gongcheng responded to him in a low voice.
Yuan Ji was silent for a moment and said, "Let's go. Go and rest first and leave early tomorrow. I'll wait for them to come back. There are five more people waiting over there."
Yi Buyuan needed to discuss this matter with Xiao Qingxu. Langjiang was dangerous, and Xiao Wan was still waiting for them.
Xiao Qinggu carried Xiaoman on his back and walked towards the charity cemetery, pretending not to notice the person following him.
One step, one step.
One deep, one shallow.
She watched the flames completely engulf the extremely familiar person, crackling sparks exploded in her eyes one after another, and tears slid down her face.
The fire went out, and the light in the phoenix eyes disappeared along with it.
Xiao Qinggu held the bone jar, his eyes blank.
Such a big person turned into a small jar.
It's quite light when I hold it in my arms.
Suddenly, tears fell, and Xiao Qinggu said blankly: "Was she like this before?"
She felt a fire called "hatred" rising in her heart, like a demon with a mouth full of blood, ready to devour her.
She is in so much pain.
She hates it so much.
Why? Why?
Why are the people closest to us the eyes and ears of others?
Why must Xiaoman die? Can't she just leave this dangerous place?
Xiao Qingxu looked at her quietly, "Your Highness, I express my condolences."
"......" Xiao Qinggu looked at him, as well as Ji Suxian and Bai Xiaoye.
She laughed.
Why do they all have faces that say "for your own good"? Why do they stare at her with eyes full of guilt?
Xiao Qinggu took a few steps, and suddenly his mind went blank. He leaned forward and fell.
Ji Suxian supported her in time and prevented her from falling.
Xiao Qinggu hugged the bone jar tightly, and tears as big as beans sparkled and then fell to the ground.
She calmly shook off Ji Suxian's hand and walked forward alone, holding the bone jar.
"I don't blame you. I shouldn't blame you..."
Xiao Qinggu laughed at himself in his heart.
She originally thought that she would not hate.
If she hadn't been so indecisive about Xiaoman, she would have just let her go back to her aunt.
Xiao Qinggu walked forward unsteadily, holding the bone jar.
If she could be as ruthless as her sister-in-law, no matter how much she wanted to be with her family, she would do her best to keep Shang Mingqi away from trouble, and she would also be capable enough to protect the inevitable Twelve. If she could also be that strong, could Xiaoman also be saved?
Xiao Qingxu and others followed Xiao Qinggu silently without saying a word.
They returned to the inn quietly.
"I'll make some soothing soup for her tomorrow. I'll be busy later."
Yuan Ji saw Xiao Qinggu's distraught figure, who was not as lifeless as Ji Suxian and the others. After giving a simple instruction, he took Xiao Qingxu to see Qu Qiren.
"A thousand miles of frost and snow shed tears, and your hair turns gray and becomes desolate."
Xiao Qingxu took the note and looked at it, his eyes calm, without the slightest surprise.
He uttered the next line: "I will travel with you through the vast spring mountains, and when we look back, we will stay together forever."
Yuan Ji stood aside and saw Yi Buyan, who had originally not intended to pay attention to him, suddenly raised his head.
He struggled to stand up, "Why is it you?!"
Yuan Ji: “?”
Why are these two grown men reciting sad poems here?
Xiao Qingxu had a calm expression under his mask, and was not surprised by Yi Buyan's reaction. He looked at Yuan Ji.
"You, get out."
Yuan Ji raised an eyebrow and said, "Okay, you guys chat."
After Yuan Ji left, the secret guards sneaked over and wanted to find out what was going on, but they were forced to retreat by the guests who surrounded them like an iron barrel.
"Sir, I can't get close."
Yuan Ji nodded and said, "I am not a pushover. Well, if you don't want me to listen, then I won't listen."
"He is so wary of me. What secret makes him so alert?" Yuan Ji tapped the teacup lightly with his fingers.
"Go and carefully investigate where those two lines of poetry came from, and who exactly is Qu Qixianzhi?"
Being related to Xiao Qingxu...the identity behind him must be more complicated than the "prophet".
"yes."
The secret guard retreated in response.
Xiao Qingxu asked Bai Xiaoye to take the other four Qu Qi people out, and stayed in a room alone with Yi Buyuan.
He pulled a stool over and sat down, his hands resting on his knees. "Okay, it's your turn."
"Ah? What should I do?" Yi Buyan was stunned for a moment, his dazed expression made him look like a silly and rough man.
"The person he asked you to come to with this half of the treasure bag is me."
Xiao Qingxu's mouth twitched. "He asked you to come find me. Could it be that he wanted you to come visit me?"
Xiao Qingxu had previously cooperated with Wen Qijun and helped him send the body to Qu Qiguo, so he naturally knew his identity in Qu Qiguo.
Many years ago, Wen Qijun was able to gain important positions in front of the unbelieving Emperor Chengming and even bring Shang Yuwan back to life. He must have had some hidden tricks. Xiao Qingxu was not surprised by the news that he could appear in Qu Qiguo as a prophet after his disappearance, nor would he object.
Xiao Qingxu lowered his eyes and looked at the note.
Wen Qijun is Qu Qi's most respected prophet, which is a good thing for them in Dayu.
Because from the very beginning, that person had been eyeing the dispute between the Xiao royal family and the Shang family. Everything else was just a stepping stone to achieve his goal.
Yi Buyuan thought for a moment and said something half true and half false.
"The prophet told me to follow your Lord Censor of Dayu, saying that he would find the person I was looking for when the time was right."
Xiao Qingxu hummed, not caring why he didn't say that only the second half of the sentence was the contact person, "Bring it out."
"How can you prove that you are the person the prophet asked me to find?" Yi Buyan still planned to be cautious.
Xiao Qingxu thought to himself, it seems that this prince is not completely stupid.
"He has an apprentice named Achan, who has a red mole on her forehead and peach blossom eyes."
Yi Buyuan's expression gradually changed. "Where is she?"
Xiao Qingxu looked at him for a while and said, "Since you don't believe me now, I will take you to see her."
Yi Buyuan thought about it and felt that he was in a desperate situation and was being bullied by a dog. He had no choice but to go with this man.
"Okay, when we meet the person, I will give you what the prophet wants to give you. The prophet also said that after handing over the thing, the person who receives it must help me revive Qu Qi."
Xiao Qingxu had just stood up and glanced at him when he heard this. "I helped you kill your elder brother and seize the throne. The rest is not my business. Don't take advantage of me."
Did he really think Wen Qijun was Qu Qiren or did he think Wen Qijun was so kind? That person still remembered everything he said to him. If he wanted to take advantage of him, he could dream on.
Yi Buyan: “…”
It seems that this is really the person the prophet asked him to find.
"Oh, right. Ah Chan changed her name and she has lost her memory. Don't let it slip."
Yi Buyuan was shocked. Even though his hands were tied tightly behind his back, he still struggled to stand up. "Did you do something to her?"
"This prince is warning you! You can't touch her!"
Xiao Qingxu waited until Yi Buyuan finished speaking angrily before speaking calmly:
"Her current name is Shang Yuwan."
Yi Buyuan frowned, his eyes blank.
Xiao Qingxu left without looking back, "Tomorrow you and your people will be among the guests. Don't try to be clever, or you will die."
Yuan Ji is not as easy to talk to as him and Wanwan.
As for Achan, she had already died the moment Shang Yuwan opened her eyes after her rebirth.
