Chitose words

Chapter 61 The Goddess of Eternal Decay

A year and a half ago, the young emperor got married in Zhaoge City, marrying Bao Xuanxuan, the eldest granddaughter of the governor, Bai Mengxian. After that, Prince Xunyang suddenly left Zhaoge not long after, without leaving a single word.

Most of the civil servants in the Tianchen Dynasty believed the royal family's rhetoric, thinking that the prince of Xunyang County was just a literary genius, and went to the mountains, rivers and rivers to collect wind and pens, but the truth was that even the Emperor Tianchen didn't know where his own uncle had gone.

The emperor chuckled and said lightly: "Your guess is quite accurate in terms of time. So, do you think that my uncle was dissatisfied with me marrying Xiaobai, so he left the court in anger? My uncle is open-minded, You are not of such a petty nature."

Yuan Ai's heart suddenly thumped.

He let go of the emperor's dragon's foot and knocked his head heavily on the sapphire stone steps, not daring to retain any strength - a "bump" sounded muffled in front of the emperor.

"Slaves presumptuously speculate on the nobleman, the crime is unforgivable! Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The emperor smiled, and said lightly: "I let you guess, forgive your innocence."

His eyes were focused on the flickering candlelight beside him, and Man Sheng continued: "However, I have a different idea about this matter. Do you want to hear it?"

Yuan Ai was almost covered in green sweat from the start, not knowing whether to answer yes or no.This year, the temper of the young emperor became more and more erratic, making it difficult to fathom.

Fortunately, the little emperor was not too interested in embarrassing his internal supervisor. He had already asked and answered himself with a smile:
"I think that my uncle's departure from Zhaoge seems to have something to do with sister. Could it be that he noticed that sister was missing, so he left Zhaoge to find sister's whereabouts?"

Yuan Ai dared not speak.

Only the little emperor suddenly laughed and said: "But even if he dissipates all the hidden powers of the Xie family that his grandfather entrusted to him in the past, it is impossible to find the trace of sister? Yuan Ai, what do you mean? no?"

Yuan Ai raised his head as if begging for mercy, his heart throbbing unbearably for some reason.

"Your Majesty, don't do this"

The emperor seemed to be pleased by his reaction, he burst out laughing and murmured:
"What? Do you also think I'm crazy? I don't, I just think it's funny. The world thinks that the goddess of Shentai Palace has been praying for Tianchen and honing her sword intent in the Shentai Palace for a year and a half. Who knows that the pride of the Tianchen Dynasty has already been stabbed to death, and died at the hands of her most trusted person—"

Yuan Ai was shocked.

He hurriedly looked around, although he saw that there was no one around and had already been cleared out in advance, but he still felt chills in his heart and jumped violently.

"Your Majesty, be careful what you say, Your Majesty! If someone hears this, even though His Highness Chitose's sword and bloody clothes were found under the cliff, it may not necessarily be the case."

Not necessarily what?
Yuan Ai couldn't speak anymore.

A warrior cherishes his personal treasure as if it were his own arm.

Apart from death, which "sword fairy" would give up and lose the famous sword that he regarded as a treasure?
Although they didn't see His Highness Qiantui's body, the blood-soaked clothes and the lone "Mountain, River, Sun and Moon" covered with bloodstains under the cliff are enough to explain everything.

If it wasn't for the eternal disappearance, how could this prestigious No. [-] sword in the world give up his natal saber?
The matter of the eldest princess must not be spread to outsiders. You must know that the late emperor was ruthless, and His Majesty was not the only prince.

It is precisely because today's son is the only younger brother of the Lord of Tianchen Zhongxing and the eldest princess of Tianchen, who was the only younger brother of Feng Zhi, the former high priest of Shentai Palace, who asked Tiandi divination, that he can still sit firmly after the death of Empress Xie. The crown prince finally ascended to the Tianchen Great Treasure.

If this matter is really exposed and made known to the whole world, then even Emperor Jing, who is the emperor of the dynasty, may be drowned by the public outcry in the court and may even be deposed.

The little emperor chuckled lightly.

Heartache, joy and madness were intertwined in his eyes. These completely different contradictory emotions tore his clear and beautiful face to the point of almost being deformed, like a crazy evil spirit possessing him.

He murmured to himself: "Be careful what you say? Why should I be careful what I say? I am the emperor of Tianchen, aren't I! Why can't I say something? Is there anything I dare not say?

Hahahaha, the youngest goddess since the establishment of the Shentai Palace, the 'Thousand-year Sword Immortal' holding the "Dachen Minghuang Sword", my sister, is really majestic-but what can I do? ! "

The emperor ignored Yuan Ai's efforts to dissuade him. He nervously fiddled with the dancing candlelight with his fingers, even if his fingers were burned by the flames.

"Your Majesty - I know you are sad, but please be careful of the dragon body!"

The emperor raised his hand to cover his warm eyes, and laughed hoarsely, "——Yuan Ai, you see, no matter how talented you are, you have to live to be useful, right?"

Yuan Ai hugged the little emperor's leg in panic, he was at a loss and cried repeatedly:

"Your Majesty, you were really just a mistake at the time! You were not sincere, and you didn't really want the life of His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. Please don't mourn too much and hurt your own dragon body!

Otherwise, even if Her Royal Highness the Princess sees her spirit in heaven, she will still feel sorry for you. Your Majesty, the one she loved the most in the past was your Majesty’s younger brother——”

Unexpectedly, the emperor didn't know what kind of stimulation he had received, and suddenly kicked Yuan Ai several meters away with a kick in the chest like a madman, and then hissed like a ghost and shouted:

"But she can't see it anymore! She's dead! She's already dead! She doesn't love me either! Otherwise, why would she always break her promise to me?

Fu Jingci said she was so cruel. She would rather die, let the poison erode her internal organs, lose all her internal strength, and have her meridians cut off, but she would risk all her life to break through the restraints and escape from the palace!Does she really want to escape?Do you really want to be that goddess? "

The young emperor, who was so powerful and unpredictable in front of the courtiers, officials and powerful people, was like a child who had lost his way and lost his mind. Big tears suddenly fell from his eyes.

"What's 'Thousand-year-old Sword Fairy'? What 'Princess Tianchen'? She is a liar! It is clear that in the year when her mother passed away, she could ride thousands of miles alone, ride a horse from Kunling Snow Mountain in the Northern Dynasty day and night, and travel thousands of miles day and night Hurry back to the palace to stay by my side, but why can't she later?

She clearly promised me that she would never go 'far away' again and would stay in Tianchen to take care of me forever, but she broke her promise first.She can't blame me, she can't blame me"

Yuan Ai choked with tears and looked in shock at the young emperor in front of him who was speaking incoherently and could not even convince himself.

He grew up with the little emperor day and night, and had witnessed with his own eyes the deep love and mutual dependence between the emperor and His Royal Highness the eldest princess as siblings when they were young. Now it is really heartbreaking to see them come to the point where swords are facing each other and life and death are facing each other.

How did it become like this?
Since when did this pair of the most supreme siblings of the Tianchen Dynasty be so far apart?
Yuan Ai was obviously at the emperor's side every day, but he had never noticed it before. When did the emperor start to have such a deep fear of the eldest princess?So much so that he ordered him to poison the eldest princess's tea, sealing her inner breath, and wanted to imprison her in the inner garden of the palace.

On that day, Princess Tianchen lost all her internal energy and was seriously injured, so she temporarily broke through the poison that sealed her dantian Qihai, and briefly regained half an hour of internal energy to break out of the palace.

However, according to the reports of the pursuers, His Highness was exhausted in the end, fell off the cliff and died, leaving no bones left.
Yuan Ai understood that His Majesty never thought of harming the eldest princess's life in the first place, and now he regretted it too much.Xie Huanzhang, the king of Xunyang County, may have heard some rumors, so he suddenly left Zhaoge without leaving a word, and his whereabouts are unknown.

But the eldest princess is dead, even if the King of Xunyang releases all the people from the Xie family in the past, nothing will be gained.

After a burst of venting, almost insane, the emperor fell heavily on the throne as if he lost his strength, gasping for breath.

After a long while, he suddenly raised his hand gently, wiping away the water that had flowed all over his face at some point, and there was a trace of crying and laughing at the corner of his lips.

"I am the emperor! Doesn't she want to stay in Shentai Palace forever and be a goddess? Then, even if she dies, as long as I want, she will live forever! Live in the hearts of Tianchen's subjects, live In the fear of Tianchen's old enemy. Let my imperial sister always be the goddess on the layers of the tower. The goddess who is immortal and blooms forever - Yuan Ai, tell me what is the way of heaven in this world. ?”

Yuan Ai looked at the young emperor's twisted handsome face in shock, "Slave. I don't know."

Fu Jingyan stared at the water stains clearly visible on his fingertips in a daze.

"I——is the way of heaven!"
