The candlelight flickered in the room, and on the soft couch behind the screen, a jade-white hand held a scroll and was looking at it intently.
A teenage maid used scissors to cut off the candle wicks in the room one by one. When she saw that the candle light was a little brighter, she turned her head and said to the person on the soft couch: "Madam, it's late.
Well, you'd better rest early."
"Well, Cui'er, please go down first. I'll call you later when I'm going to sleep." The jade-white hand waved, and a shadow was faintly seen from the hollow screen.
Cui'er responded and retreated.
The person behind the screen was turning the pages of the book in his hand, and when he glanced casually, he saw a black shadow on the screen.
She tried calling out: "Tweety?"
"Mrs. Qin, this is me."
A warm and faint voice came in from outside. It sounded a bit lazy and leisurely, and you could also tell who had such a special voice.
Ye Jingxin was stunned for a moment, then got up from the soft couch, walked around the screen and walked outside, and saw a red shadow on the pear wood carved chair, clustered warmly in the orange light.
The face could not be seen clearly, only a pair of green eyes seemed to be looking out from the abyss, and every time he saw her, she had nowhere to hide.
"Lord Takichi?"
It would be a lie to say she wasn't surprised. Her face, which had always been delicate, elegant and calm, moved for a moment. After a while, she came back to her senses and walked over to sit next to him.
"Takino-san is here late at night. Is there anything you want me to do?"
As Ye Jingxin said this, her eyes fell on the little white mouse in Longyue's arms. A smile appeared on her face and she reached out to tease it.
Shi Fifteen was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt an unusual aura approaching. His hair suddenly grew all over his body. He opened his eyes and glared at the visitor with bared teeth.
Seeing this, Ye Jingxin immediately pursed her lips and smiled. She didn't bother the mouse and slowly took her hand back: "This mouse is quite interesting."
Long Yue lowered his eyes and looked at Shi Fifteen in his arms, stretched out his hand to gently touch its back, and said lightly with a chuckle: "Mrs. Qin, are you hiding something from me?"
Ye Jingxin suddenly smiled: "Mr. Longyue is joking. Xuan'er's empire and the Qin family's future are still counting on you. How dare I deceive you even half a cent?"
Shi Fifteen stretched out his paws and scratched his face, and sneered coldly: "You used the concealment technique, which was passed down from Su Wangyue. If you were not afraid of being spied on, why did you do that? I looked at the whole situation
In Wujizhou, I’m afraid no one has the ability to peek into people’s minds, right?”
Ye Jingxin looked at Fifteen, her almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened, and she said in disbelief: "It...it can talk?"
"Young Master is a magic rat, so what's so great about being able to talk?"
Shi Fifteen arrogantly shook the white hair on her body, twisted her butt towards Ye Jingxin, and then got into Long Yue's arms.
Ye Jingxin couldn't come back to her senses for a long time now. Although she knew that the person in front of her might come from that fantasy-like place, she really saw so many things beyond her understanding, even though she was well-informed.
, but I still couldn’t help being surprised.
Seeing that Longyue was still looking at her with a smile, but the smile was clearly devoid of any warmth, and she, the head mistress of the Qin family, couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
"Say what you have to say. Secrets are dead, but the situation is alive. You can't deal with the people behind the Lu family." Takiyue's drooping eyes didn't even bother to raise, and a faint glint passed through his eyes.
, "Qin Yaoxuan's fate depends on you alone."
"This..." Ye Jingxin lowered her eyes, her eyes moved slightly, and she obviously hesitated.
The family rules established by Mrs. Mochizuki were placed there, and no one could violate them.
But if they don't say it, then everything they have been planning for so long...
No matter what, if you really want to pursue it, just pursue her alone. Anyway, some things have been done, and nothing is more important than Xuan'er's future!
As if she had made up her mind, the most loyal defender of the Qin family and the current mistress of the family took the lead in breaking the rules. All merits and demerits will be left to future generations to judge.
She took a deep breath and said: "Mrs. Wangyue once left a last word that the Qin family must keep a secret from generation to generation. And this secret can only be known by the clan leader. It's just that I don't care, so this generation, I know it by chance.
.”
Takiyue raised his head and glanced at her without saying a word.
Ye Jingxin continued: "The last words are fateful. This matter concerns the whole world. If it is leaked, there will be serious consequences. Therefore, everyone who knows will be poisoned and will die if they say it."
As she said that, she smiled at Takiyue. There was no sadness in her eyes, but a sense of complete accomplishment.
Longyue raised one corner of his lips and smiled coldly: "If you were afraid of death, you wouldn't have violated your oath and let Qin Yechen come out. You would have put your life and death at risk for Qin Yaoxuan and the Qin family.
I ignored it."
"You know?" Ye Jingxin glanced at Long Yue in astonishment, and then laughed, "Yes, I should have known it earlier, what else do you not know? You are right, Qin Yechen is Qin Yechen
A secret that has been guarded by the family for generations.”
The blue color in Takiyoshi's eyes became darker, as dark as ice, making it difficult to see what he was thinking.
Even Fifteen in his arms felt a chill, and then moved closer to his body.
"It was that stinky old man who told you what to do, right? He predicted that you would give birth to a son in the future, that son's status as an emperor, and the fate of the Qin family in the future. Let you be alone in exchange for a whole family.
Prosperity, so you agreed?"
Ye Jingxin didn't know how Longyue learned about the past, or even what the relationship was between the old Taoist with the immortal style and him. But the first time she saw her, she was so sure that the old Taoist
The old Taoist didn't lie to her.
She would never forget that night, when she broke the Qin family's oath and walked into the Qin family's secret realm alone, where she saw an unforgettable scene.
A newborn, white and fat baby was suspended in the air, surrounded by colorful lights, and chained by many chains thicker than his body. It looked like he was imprisoned for some heinous sinner.
But that was a baby. When he saw her coming in, he grinned at her without warning. How could that look so heinous?
However, the Qin family's secret realm was sealed by Mrs. Wangyue herself back then. No one has ever entered it over the years. Then this child...
Her mind was in a state of confusion at the time, and she didn't think much about it. She took the child home directly and told her husband that she liked children and picked them up on the road.
That man doted on her to the core, so how could she have any doubts? Not only did he announce that Qin Yechen was his biological son, he even adopted another child out of fear that the child would be lonely.
Until Qin Yaoxuan was born.
She knew then that everything had begun.
As for "Looking at the Moon at the End of the World", it is so mysterious that it is just a cover.
The map of the former emperor's imperial mausoleum is not an exaggeration to call it a treasure map, but it is not the hiding place of his body as Takiyue originally thought.
Because from the very beginning, his body had already returned to his body.
Thinking about it, he actually laughed a little at himself: "I didn't expect that I, as smart as I am, would be tricked by a woman."
Fifteen popped up from his arms and said angrily: "That woman has always been treacherous. She fell in love with someone from Wuji Continent and was expelled by the six major hermit tribes. Maybe it was just a cover to deceive people. After all, it's not the fault of those old immortals."
"Little one, don't be so aggressive." Takiyue smoothed its fur very gently and said in a calm tone.
Fifteen snorted softly and rolled in Takiyue's arms. It was obvious that he wanted to protest silently even if he didn't speak. A smile filled his blue eyes.
Ye Jingxin listened to the conversation between a man and a mouse. Although he couldn't understand what was being said, he could feel it in his heart. This was definitely a shocking conspiracy. It was a secret that they said they could not pry into.
This involved too many areas. After she took Qin Yechen out of it, she had thought countless times whether it was right for her to do so, and whether there would be any consequences that she could not control at all...
But after she had done everything she had done, there was no chance for her to regret it. She had no choice but to go on doing everything.
She has been waiting all these years for her death.
In a trance, she saw a hand that was more beautiful than hers shaking on the top of her head, and then a clear voice came from the side: "I don't have two years to live."
Ye Jing lowered her eyes and smiled softly: "I have known it for a long time. Those who trespass on forbidden areas will eventually die."
Takiyue withdrew his hand, raised his broad sleeves slightly, and a drop of bright red blood emerged from his index finger. He opened the lid of the tea on the table and dropped the drop of blood into the tea.
"This is my thank you gift to you."
Ye Jingxin's almond-shaped eyes widened slightly, and she stared blankly at the drop of blood being diluted by the tea in the teacup, turning into wisps of faint red.
When she came to her senses, she raised her head and saw that the red figure who was sitting next to her just now had disappeared.
Cui'er's crisp voice came from outside the door: "Madam, are you going to sleep?"
Ye Jingxin drank the tea in one gulp, and then gently responded: "Yes."
…
The weather in the north has begun to turn frosty at night. When the moonlight shines down, you can see a dazzling silvery white above the wilderness.
The thin red shadow walked so leisurely in this dreamlike light and shadow, and fell on the ground, a long figure.
In his arms, a white mouse said in a tone of hatred: "You actually gave your blood to an outsider casually! Do you know how valuable your blood is? You gave it to a stinky woman before. So much, and now you are actually giving it back to others! Your current body is unable to do anything to others. If you give all the spiritual power in your blood to others, I would like to see what you do in the future!"
The green eyes were shining with a faint smile: "I have a sense of propriety."
"Respectful? I think you're just messing around!"
"Give Mrs. Qin a drop of blood because she saved my life. I can't just watch her die."
"What about that stinky woman? If you want her to improve faster, there is no need to replace all her blood with yours!"
As soon as the steps under his feet stopped, the night wind blew up the fiery robe.
Fifteen raised his little head and looked at the man who was so beautiful rendered by the moonlight. He actually felt like he saw the soft white light in his eyes.
He laughed softly under the bright white moonlight. The sound was like an echo in an empty valley, distant and lengthy, and full of something that made people inexplicably addictive.
He said: "I can't protect the little thing, so the only thing I can do is to make her stronger."
Shi Fifteen had been holding back a lot of words, but this sentence left him completely speechless.
Finally, it shrank into his arms and cursed secretly: "Madman."
This man is a madman, and that woman is also a madman.
…
"Ah sneeze——"
Xia Chuyi rubbed his nose and turned his head to look at Chang Huan next to him strangely.
"Xiao Changhuan, is it because I didn't give you anything to eat that you said bad things about me behind my back?"
Chang Huan looked innocent and looked at Xia Chuyi with wide eyes, as if he had no idea what she was talking about.
Xia Chuyi sullenly thought for a while, thinking that Chang Huan was not that bad. Those shadows must be the ones saying bad things about her. She would have to deal with them when she found a chance, otherwise they would be both big and small.
Having made up her mind, she raised her head and looked at the gradually dawning sky outside. She simply ran to the couch and sat down cross-legged. She practiced her kung fu for a while and waited until Feng Luo came back with the gold ingot.
Chang Huan was also very honest and did not bother her. He stayed quietly on the couch opposite her, tilting his head and looking at her intently.
When it was just dawn, a very subtle "creak" sound came from the yard where Xia Chuyi had sent everyone away.
Xia Chu's ears twitched, and he immediately stopped his gesture and jumped up from the couch. Without seeing the pair of deep eyes on the other side, he hurriedly ran to open the door.
Two black shadows rushed in quickly. In front was Feng Luo, who was always dressed in tight black clothes. Following behind was Jin Yuanbao, who was dressed in a figure.
Xia Chuyi hurriedly asked the two of them to sit down. When she saw Jin Yuanbao's white and tender face becoming more and more tender against the black clothes, her appetite suddenly whetted and she seemed to pounce on him and take a bite.
After swallowing, she stretched out her hand and pinched his cheek, which was tender and tender. Looking at the somewhat resentful, yet doting look he showed her, she felt like her heart was going to explode.
"Yuanbao, why aren't you a man? Why aren't you a man?"
Jin Yuanbao calmly pulled the crazy Xia Chuyi off his body, pressed her down on a chair, and then solemnly said: "I am a man worthy of the name, don't change my gender randomly."
Xia Chuyi actually wanted to say, Yuanbao, why are you not a woman? Then nothing would happen if she jumped up to you and kissed and hugged you.
At this moment, looking at that fresh and tender face but unable to move her hands, feet or mouth, it was a pity in her heart.
Feng Luo waved his hand in front of her, and said a little unbearably: "Let's get down to business."
The most infrequent person spoke up. Xia Chuyi naturally coughed twice, put away his playful expression, and became serious.
After explaining the matter about the account book and Lin Yueya clearly to Jin Yuanbao, she spread her hands, raised her eyelids and looked at him and said: "How to deal with it, you can figure it out yourself."
