C926 I Think Back to That Day Back in the Day
Therefore, other than a few eunuchs and Tuoba Qianjun, who was the High Priest, no one else in the entire underground Lou Lan had ever seen Her Majesty The Queen's true appearance.
As for the Sea City Mirage above the desert, the people below could not see it.
This time around, Moxie Zhengdong took off her mask in front of Shui'er.
The light inside the torture chamber was very dim, but when Moxie Zhengdong took off her mask, Shui'er clearly felt the light in front of her eyes brighten.
This was an extremely beautiful face, one that was beyond Shui'er's knowledge of beauty. It caused her to stop breathing as she stared at Moxie Zhengdong in a daze. She murmured, "Her Majesty The Queen, you are so beautiful."
Moxie Zhengdong smiled faintly. "What's the use of being beautiful? I'd rather be like you. "
The meaning of her words was clear to Shui'er. All of Lou Lan's thousands of subjects knew that King of Loulan was a short-lived person and none of them could survive past the age of 28.
Women love to be pretty. They want to be the most beautiful person in the world.
But if this beauty was at the cost of a short lifespan-- I'm sure few women would want to be beautiful.
A twenty-eight-year-old woman was like a flower that had just bloomed. She didn't even have the time to enjoy the pride and glory brought by her beauty, but she had already withered away. This truly made one feel regret and sadness.
Shui'er didn't know why Moxie Zhengdong would reveal her true face to her, nor did she know how Her Majesty The Queen would deal with her, but she could hear the endless melancholy in her words. She couldn't help but comfort her, "Her Majesty The Queen, a hundred years of life is just a short period of time. The key is to see if you perform outstandingly when you're alive. "
Moxie Zhengdong was stunned. "Oh, I didn't expect you to be able to say such a thing. Amazing."
Shui'er smiled shyly, lowered her eyes and said softly, "This is what he said to me before."
The 'he' that Shui'er mentioned was Gao Fei.
When Gao Fei had just arrived at Lou Lan's house, he had spoken to Shui'er many times.
Actually, these words weren't what a junior high student like Gao Fei could say. He had read about it in novels and used it to show off to an ignorant girl. However, Shui'er remembered it in her heart and used it to comfort Moxie Zhengdong.
"Oh, so he told you."
Moxie Zhengdong gave a faint "oh", turned her back to Shui'er, and said with her chin slightly raised, "To be honest, I am very grateful for what you have done." Whether you did it for him or not, I came out alive because of you. You said a hundred years is nothing, two years early and two years late. There isn't much of a difference. "Actually, in my opinion, people are always greedy for their lives. Being able to live for even a second is already good, let alone a few years.
"That's why I'm very grateful to you."
Moxie Zhengdong turned around and looked at Shui'er as she said slowly, "But you violated Lou Lan's law. Even if you saved me, you would still have to accept the punishment of the law along with the young prince, Huyesa."
Shui'er was silent for a long time before she finally nodded. "I know."
Moxie Zhengdong stared into her eyes and asked slowly, "You saved me, yet you're going to be executed by me. Are you willing?"
Shui'er laughed, her big eyes curved like crescent moons. "I can't accept this, but I'm already prepared to die."
"Then you can leave. After you die, I will bury you well."
Moxie Zhengdong put on her mask and turned towards the door of the torture chamber.
Shui'er's eyes dimmed. Just as Moxie Zhengdong was about to leave, she opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but then closed it again.
At this point, he had nothing to say.
Moxie Zhengdong stopped walking and turned around to ask, "Before she died, do you have any other requests?"
"No, but I just want to know one thing."
Shui'er bit her lips as her face began to turn pale.
It was true that she had guessed what would happen when she decided to poison Salia and the others, but when death really came, she was afraid.
No matter how strong she appeared, she was still a girl.
In her belly, there were still children, children who had been handed down from the family.
In truth, she couldn't face death in peace.
No normal person would be able to do it, especially when there was a life in the stomach.
Moxie Zhengdong sighed again, "I know what you want to know. He's fine, but he's a little weak and needs to rest -- I'll tell him about it later and let him remember you for the rest of your life. "
"No need, I don't want him to know."
Shui'er smiled sadly. "I have already let down my dead parents. Why should I make him feel guilty?"
Moxie Zhengdong didn't say anything. She just stared at Shui'er for a moment before walking out of the torture chamber.
With a bang, the heavy punishment door closed tightly.
Tears finally rolled down Shui'er's face.
She did not cry when she was caught, but she cried now.
However, she did not regret it — because she knew that even if she regretted it, it would not change anything.
Within the torture chamber, there was a long period of deathly silence, and only the sound of tears could be heard.
After an unknown amount of time, the door to the torture chamber opened and Monte walked in.
Shui'er's father's friend had a stooped figure. The torch in his hand shone brightly on his face, giving him a heavy look of helplessness.
Behind him followed two men in black, their faces stiff like corpses.
Spiritual Lizard Emissary.
In the underground Lou Lan, there was usually Situ to enforce the laws and regulations upon committing a crime.
The person who came to execute the punishment was the Spiritual Lizard envoy within the Temple of Forest. From this, it could be seen how 'highly valued' Shui'er was.
If Gao Fei knew about this, he would definitely save me!
Unfortunately, he didn't know that Her Majesty The Queen said he was still resting. I was going to die, but he didn't know.
While she was still depressed, Shui'er was finally unresigned. However, her heart had calmed down.
Monte set the torch on the wall and took the key from his belt. He walked over slowly and said in a low voice, "Shui'er, you should be on your way. Go over there and say hello to your father for me. "
Before she died, Shui'er didn't want to pretend to be strong anymore, so she nodded heavily, tears streaming down her face.
Monte sighed deeply, took out a white towel, wiped the tears off her face, and spread it over her face.
This was the rule of Lou Lan in the underground world. It was similar to the rule where prisoners on death row get their heads cut off before they are killed.
Two Spiritual Lizard s immediately walked over. One of them undid the shackles on Shui'er's hands while the other took out a large black bag and put it on her head. Then, he bent over and grabbed both of her ankles.
The other Spiritual Lizard grabbed her arms, stood up and lifted her up, then walked outside as if their feet were not touching the ground.
Shui'er was carried by two men and remained motionless.
When she was carried out of the torture chamber by two Spiritual Lizard envoys, Monte suddenly began to sing.
The song was desolate, like an old wolf crying, "Remembering that day when you came to the mortal world clean and clean, the birds singing for you, the sheep wishing for you, even the wolves at the bottom of the grassland wishing for you wholeheartedly... You are the child of the longevity day, Lou Lan's beloved, the most beautiful girl in the world. When you smile, it makes your Black Dragon Mountain even purer and more beautiful.
The voice was bleak and echoed in the long corridor of the underground torture chamber, but it could not stop the two Spiritual Lizard envoys from walking forward resolutely.
When the two Spiritual Lizard envoys carried Shui'er to the ground, Huhee Shanyu and a dozen other people in official robes kneeled on both sides of the ground.
The reason why they were able to sit in their current positions was because of this girl.
The two Spiritual Lizard Envoys ignored her and carried Shui'er on their shoulders. They leapt onto a black stallion, kicked it on the belly with their feet and let out a long shriek. Then, they kicked their front hooves a few times, kicked their hind legs and leapt up like lightning, disappearing at the other end of the long road in the blink of an eye.
Only the clatter of horseshoes on the limestone could be heard, echoing in the air.
Gao Fei opened his eyes as if he heard the clatter of a horseshoe hitting the stone floor. The sound of the horses' hooves stopped and he heard the cry of the birds.
A bird with colorful feathers was standing at the window of the palace, happily singing.
The bright sunlight sprinkled on its colorful feathers, suffusing them with a layer of gorgeous luster.
Gao Fei looked at the bird silently and didn't move for a long time.
He was carefully recalling the events that happened before he fell asleep.
This time, there was no pain in the back of his head. Perhaps it was because he had not slept for long, and it was not enough for him to think hard enough, so there was no need to touch the wound on the back of his head.
Gao Fei recalled that before he fell asleep, he was in the ice cave with Moxie Zhengdong.
By that time, the Fire Dragon Soup in Moxie Zhengdong's body had already taken effect. Her eyes were sparkling white, and her mouth opened to reveal dense white teeth as she bit onto his shoulder.
He remembered that he was willing to let that woman bite him.
However, due to his physical strength, he had fainted when the pain came.
However, when he first lost consciousness, he could clearly hear Moxie Zhengdong's howls and cries.
Now it was gone, no longer the cold darkness of the ice cave, no longer Moxie Zhengdong's howling and crying — it was as if he could lie here for the rest of his life and watch the bird sing in the sunlight.
"Chirp!"
The bird suddenly stopped singing. With a shrill cry, it spread its wings and flew off into the distance. It flew past a patch of eaves and disappeared without a trace.
Just as Gao Fei was about to search for the bird, Moxie Zhengdong's gentle voice came from the door, "Do you like looking at birds or do you like hearing it sing?"
Gao Fei slowly turned his head and saw Moxie Zhengdong wearing a black dragon robe. She was so beautiful that she didn't look human with a gentle smile on her face.
Gao Fei tried to sit up slowly and moved his shoulders, which were slightly aching. He smiled and said, "I have never heard a bird sing with such a melodious voice before. There are no birds chirping in that place."
Like flowing water, Moxie Zhengdong came to the couch, sat down beside Gao Fei, looked out the window and said, "Yeah, only after experiencing something will you understand that some things are actually very precious."
"I suddenly feel that you are completely different from before."
Gao Fei looked at Moxie Zhengdong and said thoughtfully, "In my opinion, you should be the kind of person who doesn't care about anything. "But right now, you seem to be very easy-going."
"You're right. I used to be a person who didn't care about anything."
Moxie Zhengdong smiled lazily and slowly lay down on her back. She rested her head on Gao Fei's lap and looked at him, saying, "But I have been changed."
