Chapter 142: Clumsy
Xin Hongying's fingers trembled slightly, and she stretched out her fingers and gently poked the fake doll.
"Why?"
"Not moving?"
Suddenly, he felt abandoned, and a huge panic suppressed Zi Gu.
Endless fear burst out from the depths of his heart, like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time and finally erupted.
Snap!
A tear fell from the slightly red eyes onto the fake doll.
“Save her…”
Xin Hongying raised her head slowly and carefully took the fake doll in her hands. The light in her eyes kept surging and she staggered so much that she almost fell to the ground.
Most of the puppet's thin strings broke in an instant.
The Queen Mother and the Regent separated.
The regent and his stand-in changed their clothes and went into the palace to attend court, pretending that they had stayed in the palace overnight.
The puppet's silk thread broke, and the Queen Mother was attacked by the quilt Gu, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The blood dyed her lips red, and they were eroded like petals soaked in blood.
She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her finger and suddenly sneered.
"I actually managed to break free and regain consciousness briefly. Ha... Emperor, you can't escape from my clutches."
"Just wait for me!"
Xin Hongying had a terrible headache and fell to his knees.
He tapped his forehead with his palm, as if he was in great pain, and his eyes cleared for a moment.
"Fairy, what happened?"
"Speak... I beg you... just move your mouth."
The rag doll didn't move, as if the soul inside it had disappeared. Xin Hongying widened her eyes in disbelief, covering her head with her big hands, which was aching like needles.
His scarlet eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frosted white cloth, blurry and he suddenly closed his eyes.
The slightly worn little hands of the puppet, the exact location where the black hair was pulled out, the feel of the puppet...
He recognized all of these; nothing had changed.
This puppet is the body that the fairy once possessed.
A puppet is a puppet, but the soul inside its body is gone. All those beautiful memories and fantastic things seem like a dream.
Reason broke free from the black cloth covering his head with chaos, reminding him that he was controlled by Zi Gu.
Perhaps everything that happened was just a dream he created to make himself feel better. Now that he is awake, he is left alone awake.
"No!"
“This is not a dream!”
The voice was wailing in a low voice, like the last helpless cry of a trapped beast.
[Beep! Beep! Warning… Warning!]
[Xin Hongying's blackening value +2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2..., please pay attention, host!]
[Task Target: Xin Hongying, Current Darkness Level: 68]
Shen Tingyu's expression suddenly changed, and he looked up in confusion at the direction of the Stargazing Pavilion.
"Xiao Qi, what happened to the Tyrant? Why did his Darkness Level suddenly become so high?"
【Something bad is happening! 】
[Host, please return quickly. The target of the mission collapsed after seeing your replica doll...]
"What!"
She didn't expect that her momentary impulse would cause the tyrant's black value to soar.
Shen Tingyu said to Bai Feng: "I have sent someone to bring Miss Yi Han to the capital. I will send more people to protect her."
Her tone was somewhat disappointed. "I hope you don't lie to me and really do as you said, and detoxify His Majesty as soon as possible."
"Don't keep putting it off."
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. An Chi, let's go back to the Stargazing Pavilion quickly."
An Chi nodded.
"etc!"
Shen Tingyu hadn't taken a few steps when she was stopped. She turned around and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Bai Feng called her, but he hadn't thought of any words to say. He just wanted to stay with the goddess for a while longer.
"I……"
"fine."
His eyes darkened slightly, and his face was calm: "You must save Yihan, please."
…
Shen Tingyu returned to the Stargazing Pavilion.
Xin Hongying was kneeling on the ground, holding the fake doll in his hand, his head lowered, his face hidden in the shadows, and she couldn't see the expression on his face.
Looking at his lonely and lost back, her heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling.
Xin Hongying's suppressed consciousness broke free from the restraints of Zi Gu. It felt like countless fine needles were flowing in her blood, causing her to feel a sharp pain.
His eyes were clear, with only a distressing blush at the corners of his eyes. His face was gloomy, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking!
"His Majesty!"
Shen Tingyu sat in An Chi's palm. They approached little by little, and asked in a worried tone, "Are you okay?"
Hearing her voice, Xin Hongying, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly looked up and looked at her with sharp eyes, as if he was examining something, or as if he was trying hard to identify something.
"Fairy?"
There was a slight hint of sorrow in her voice, as if she had cried before, but it was not obvious, and her tone was still as calm as before.
He raised a fake doll in his hand that looked exactly like hers and raised it gently, his tone slightly strange and puzzled.
"What's going on?"
Shen Tingyu smiled slightly, “Your Majesty, you are awake.”
Xin Hongying naturally stretched out his other hand towards her, and Shen Tingyu jumped lightly and landed on his palm, sitting down steadily.
Crossing her legs and sitting cross-legged, she asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten everything?"
Xin Hongying naturally knew what she was asking.
His eyes dodged slightly, and he knew nothing when he was controlled by Zi Gu.
After waking up, it was as if she didn't recognize herself at all. He never thought that she was so clingy, wanting a hug anytime and anywhere, wanting to hold hands every time she took a step, and wanting to see her all the time.
His lips were tightly pursed, and he said nothing, neither admitting nor denying.
Shen Tingyu misunderstood, but fortunately he didn't remember what happened that night, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's a fake doll. I copied it using magic. It's fake."
She avoided the main point and did not explain why she made a fake doll.
So that she wouldn't have to explain to him that he was too clingy.
It would be bad if he remembered the memory of them sleeping in each other's arms that night, and she would be shy!
Although she didn't show her joy on her face, Xin Hongying was very familiar with her.
The micro-expressions of her puppet were so vivid in front of him that they could not be hidden at all and could not be deceived by his eyes.
Xin Hongying lowered her eyelids and held the fake doll's hand with a little force. The veins on her arm bulged from the tension.
She doesn't want him to remember, does that mean he doesn't like herself?
Shen Tingyu sat on his palm and looked at the fake doll in his other hand. It was really exactly the same, and she and it were like looking in the mirror.
She imitated the movements of the doll opposite her and tilted her head slightly.
"Your Majesty, don't I look a lot like 'it'?"
Xin Hongying's eyes flashed, and he said firmly: "It doesn't look like it."
"Not at all."
