atypical prostitute

Chapter 86

The battle started three days ago, and the defenders relied on the terrain to hold King Yuzhang's army outside the city.But the queen's death made the whole thing develop in the worst direction.

When Li Ci went to the imperial city in a carriage, it was the worst time of the war.The yellow bricks were dyed blood red, and the corpses of the victims were thrown into the city, and the corpses congested the moat, forming countless floating pontoon bridges.Those officers and soldiers who fled in fear took advantage of the cover of night to escape the decisive battle by climbing over the pontoon bridge of dead bodies, and fled to a distant place they didn't know.When the sun rose again, the allied forces of King Yuzhang and the vassal kings climbed up the tower with great momentum, braving arrows.

The failure of King Changsha is doomed. When the moat is completely filled with corpses, King Yuzhang will really succeed.

The iron hooves surged, the ground trembled, and the entire Chang'an was burning.

From morning to dusk, the burning flames danced with the catkin-like snowflakes, and the streets were full of panicked people.People are running and fleeing each other, the coup d'etat in the fifth year of Chengshi is about to come to an end, the era of no king is coming to an end, only the palace is immersed in death-like silence.

It was already dark, but the lights of the imperial city were not lit, and the darkness made its majesty even more eerie.

Guided by two rows of red lanterns and surrounded by dozens of guards, Li Ci walked slowly into the imperial city holding a bamboo umbrella.The luxurious hem of the dress trailed behind her, and the scarlet color dyed the road she walked gorgeously.

The whole city is silently awaiting its fate.

Winner takes all, loser for Kou.

Li Ci sighed and walked into Zhaoyang Hall.

She had imagined countless times how she walked into the palace that had brought her humiliation with the pride of revenge, trampled on the dignity of the loser with the pride of the winner, and ruthlessly expressed her anger at losing her father and a peaceful life.But when this day really became a reality, she couldn't laugh because she was carrying too much pain.

Several baggage carriages were parked in front of the palace gate, and the black-clothed warriors were busy. There were faint sobs in the palace. It was women crying. Their dreams of prosperity were shattered overnight, and they would fall into the unfathomable abyss with their princes of darkness.

Everywhere in the harem, palace people can be seen walking back and forth between pavilions and pavilions like headless flies in fear.A woman's beautiful and poignant singing came from a tall building, but unfortunately the building was too high, Li Ci couldn't understand what she was singing.

The princess of Changsha rushed between the attics with the palace people holding white silk in their hands. The king of Changsha has already lost, and all the women who have been favored by the prince will inevitably die.A woman refused to obey, and fought desperately, trying to rush out of the palace gate, but Princess Changsha pulled out her dagger and sent her off.

A shrill cry sounded from time to time, and Li Ci moved forward unswervingly.

She sympathized with them, but they all deserved to die, too.

Even if Princess Changsha doesn't kill them, King Yuzhang won't let these women live after he enters the palace.

Born in troubled times, life is like turning around.

She climbed up the steps and walked slowly among the gold carvings and jade bricks. Time seemed to be still and frozen.

Changsha King is at the end of the corridor, standing on a high place, looking into the distance with ecstasy.

He waited for her with his hands behind his back, he said, accompany me to see the scenery.

it is good.

She walked up to him, her heart still.

She didn't know what he was looking at. What else could she see besides the paleness sliding towards the dark sky and the burning city?The people in the capital were worried that the allied forces of the vassal kings would enter the city to burn, kill and loot, so they all chose to stay behind closed doors.The fire point that crowded the official road like ants was the footsteps of the officials in the capital dressed up to welcome the new master of the empire.

She heard the bell, the cold and lonely snowy night, the blood was burning, the noise could not suppress the majesty of the bell, this was the congratulations of the new king's ascension to the throne, and also the death knell of the king of Changsha.

There was a sound of footsteps behind her. Li Ci turned her head and saw a man as tall as an iron tower. She recognized him, the warrior who swung a knife and killed a horse at the post station.

Zhan Yifan stood on the stairs with his hands down, with a calm and indifferent tone: "The empress dowager is dead. The princess is dead."

The King of Changsha waved his hand, signaling him to step back for the time being, then pointed to the raging fire that burned the city, and said to Li: "I never thought that we would meet as father and daughter for the first time, but here we are."

His eyes were a little tired, the pride and gloom he once had disappeared, leaving only bitterness.

"You killed my father."

Li Ci lowered his eyes and clenched the dagger hidden in his sleeve.

The King of Changsha smiled wryly, "I am your father."

Li Ci shook her head: "You are not. My father is Fu Lanshi, he is dead."

Changsha Wang had already stretched out his hand to touch her face, but was stunned by the frost in the words, he retracted timidly, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I... didn't know you until yesterday... I always thought you were... ...thought Fu Zhu was my political enemy, so..."

"Apologize?! Fu Zhu even gave up his life for your Xiao royal family. He paid so much, but what he got is—"

She said in grief and angrily, tears welled up, the makeup on her face faded away, and it flowed into her mouth, a little fragrant and a little astringent.

It's a pity that even she herself doesn't know who the tears are shedding for.

A wry smile, only a wry smile.

After going through so many thrills, she found that all she had left was a wry smile.

The life of a concubine was originally a dream, and my sister-in-law lived in an unoccupied place.

"I'm sorry, I didn't really mean to hurt you, everything is..."

The king of Changsha murmured that he was once confident, but because of the change in the relationship between them, it was unbearable to look back.

Because of the eldest princess's deliberate misleading, he regarded her as a dangerous fire, and tried to kill her before she awakened!Then, in a ignorant way, she realized that she was similar to him, but because of this, she stepped into a more sinister trap, only one step away from committing a deed that was worse than a beast!
This woman with a heart like a snake and a scorpion actually holds a grudge so much, she doesn't hesitate to make him suffer the most painful punishment in the world!

The more I think about it, the more cold sweat breaks down, and when I look at Li Ci again, there is only love and guilt left in my heart.

"Sorry……"

He reached out again, trying to touch her, but she took a step back and avoided it.

She said: "Whose child did you think I was? Whose child did the eldest princess want me to be?"

Being so guarded by his own flesh and blood, the King of Changsha could only sigh, and his hatred for the eldest princess was aggravated because of this.

It's a pity that what has happened is impossible to remedy, so I tell the truth: "A person who seems to be indifferent to the world is actually the nightmare of the entire Xiao family. He deceives everyone by relying on his elegant appearance."

"Is... the king?"

She asked uncertainly, but Changsha King said cautiously: "Can I... touch you? I..."

Li Ci didn't answer, nor refused, and the man who didn't change his expression when the country fell was rubbing his hands awkwardly. At this moment, he is just a stupid father who doesn't know how to make up for his daughter.

The hand that was used to holding the whip and the hilt of the sword finally fell on the girl's delicate skin.

The hand was a bit rough, but when it fell, it was so gentle that she was afraid that she would be broken if a little force was applied.

"I... and Ah Yu were both deceived. Because of him, Ah Yu hated me... and even used you to hit me hard... I...but... I didn't see through his design until today. You... Even though I'm to blame, I'm sorry for you, it's because I was deceived that I couldn't see you..."

He murmured apologetically, then suddenly raised his head and said to Zhan Yifan who was guarding not far away: "Yifan, let's go! Don't think about avenging me. I... this is harming others and myself, and I deserve it."

"My lord!"

Zhan Yifan knelt down, he didn't say anything, he just kowtowed to King Changsha until his forehead was blood red, and then he turned and went downstairs without looking back.

Upstairs, so they were the only ones left.

Looking at the gray and dull eaves in the distance, and the fire dragon getting closer, Li Ci really felt the malice of fate.

"Do you hate me for killing Shangguanqian? If she makes TNT, maybe it can really change the pattern of the war."

"But she is destined not to succeed. The queen mother can't tolerate her, and the queen will not let her succeed. What's more, even if she succeeds, if she dies that day, then you will die. I... can't bear you, even if you don't Knowing that you are my child, and I also... when I knew that she was the one who died and not you, I was really happy in my heart. I... love you and think that if one day I am at the end of the road, I can have you to send me on the road, Also satisfied."

He said softly, taking her into his arms.

"It was a mistake between me and your mother. I loved her once, but she didn't love me at all. She just likes to be admired by everyone. Except for her beautiful appearance, everything about her is disgusting. When I found her After seeing my ugly nature, I decided to take revenge on her, and under the connivance of my mother, I did the worst thing. It was only after that that I realized that Hua Jingrong had never entered her room."

"But she felt that it was a great shame. A young boy who was played by her in the palm of her hand actually got her noble body. She sued the third brother, and the third brother was so angry that he wanted to kill me. Fortunately, the queen mother protected me. The third brother I had no choice but to send me back to the seal to contemplate my mistakes behind closed doors. But she took the opportunity to get a manor and stayed with the only man she loved day and night."

"So even though you found out that I am the eldest princess' illegitimate daughter, you still don't think I have anything to do with you?"

King Changsha nodded.

"Yeah, because there is only one time! There is only one time, how could it be—"

Li Ci laughed and said, "How can you be sure that the person who told you wasn't lying?"

"Because I have doubts in my heart for a long time. If you are really born of her and that man, she can't treat you like this! And she won't design traps again and again to make me meet you, reminding me of the past. Love...It's a pity that I was blindfolded by hatred, and I didn't see the flaws. But when someone pointed it out, those details rolled before my eyes. These behaviors of hers are not like a mother treating her children, it is clearly—"

"Since you are indeed born of her, then her hatred for you can only come from the other half of the child's blood."

The King of Changsha smiled wryly, and let go of Lici.

The dagger, which had been hidden in the sleeve all this time, slipped and hit the floor with a clang.

"It would be nice if you weren't my daughter."

He muttered, picked up the dagger, and handed it to Li Ci.

"I know that today is my stranger, but if you can cut off this karma with your own hands, God will treat me kindly after all."

His palm was warm and heavy, and the skin he touched felt like it was on fire. Li Ci flinched, trying to withdraw her hand, but was grasped tightly by his iron-like fingers.

The dagger was firmly placed in her palm, and he closed her hand seriously.

"The daughter of the Xiao family can't cry so much," he said.

"Can--"

"You have already killed someone, why can't you hold the knife! Since you are my daughter, you must get used to your fate from now on! Kill me and wait with my head on the way King Yuzhang enters the city , slander me as much as possible, curse me, don't let him find out that you already know your life experience. Only in this way can you get his protection!"

"But... I can't do it!"

"If you can't do it, you have to do it! Both of your fathers are dead, and I killed them both!"

He pointed to his heart and said, "Put the knife in, and you will avenge your two fathers! Kill me, a criminal! Hurry up!"

"me--"

While exclaiming, Li Ci was pulled in front of him, and the hand holding the knife was wrapped in his palm and sank into his chest.

She stared at him dumbfounded as thick, scorching liquid flowed from the joint, quickly turning cold.

He bit her ear and gave his final advice: "Be careful...King Runan...he...is a hypocrite..."

Then he pushed Li Ci away vigorously, and Li Ci looked blankly at the blood-red hands and the knife that was still dripping blood, lost his footing and fell to the ground.

He couldn't hold on anymore.

The blood stained his clothes red and blurred his vision. He opened his eyes in pain, and the snowflakes all over the sky turned pink. In the depths of the falling flowers, the person he once loved happened to be smiling.

He crawled with difficulty, dragging the bright red all over the ground, crawled to the phantom, stretched out his hand with difficulty, stroked the face that only he could see, and murmured: "It's a pity... I... walked so much... ……Just known……"

The hand fell weakly, and the phantom disappeared like water foam. His arm hit the wooden board, and the pain caused made him temporarily clear. Looking at the panicked fire in the distance and the bewildered face in front of him, the two lines of tears turned blood red.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I..."

The voice is getting softer, the body is getting colder and colder, only the lips are still squirming, pouring out the unheard apologies over and over again...

The snow is burning, and so is the heart...
