The maid left, and the rising sun lit up both portraits.
Only by burning it can everyone be liberated...
The flames burned and the portrait curled.
The moment Chaoyang turned around, he saw a piece of gold foil falling from the burning scroll of Shen Qingzhou's portrait.
After being stunned for a moment, Chaoyang stretched out his hand to catch the paper-thin gold foil.
Was it the mother who hid this gold foil in the interlayer of the portrait?
Carefully placing the gold foil on the table, Chaoyang saw some strange cipher text on the gold foil.
It was a special cipher text in the Dark Charm Tower of the Western Regions, used to deliver top-secret letters. Bai Li had taught her this when she was young.
Chaoyang's face became paler as his fingers gently touched the secret texts.
"If we exclude Fengtian, Shen Qingzhou and Mu Jingyan can never exist at the same time. One of them needs to be eliminated. Go to Fengtian, and no matter what method you use, get rid of one of them and let Fengtian slowly decline."
Obviously, this is the order given to Saint Baili from above.
Let Bai Li go to Fengtian and use all means to choose one between Shen Qingzhou and Mu Jingyan.
Obviously, Baili chose to sacrifice Mu Jingyan.
Obviously, Shen Qingzhou is the most threatening existence to the Western Region, but Baili chose to sacrifice Mu Jingyan.
"Why..." Chaoyang couldn't understand why Baili chose to hurt Mu Jingyan.
Is it because Mu Jingyan became famous at a young age and sealed the wolf in Xu? If the border instability is not eliminated?
But in the long run, Shen Qingzhou's threat is obviously greater.
Chaoyang couldn't understand Baili's thoughts, and he didn't know what kind of chess game she had laid out.
The Gold Foil Order is the highest order of Dark Mei Tower. Who gave Baili the order of this gold foil?
Is he the former pavilion master of Anmei Tower?
If Baili really listened to Anmeilou's instructions, what was her purpose of feigning death to create the Poppy?
Sitting on the seat with a headache, Chaoyang crushed the gold foil bit by bit.
What is Bai Li's purpose of hiding the gold foil order in this portrait?
What did she want to express? To show that she chose Shen Qingzhou. The person she originally wanted to get rid of was Shen Qingzhou? But she changed her mind in the end?
Chaoyang couldn't figure out Bai Li, and he couldn't figure him out more and more.
Once, she thought she knew her mother, and her mother knew her well enough.
But it turns out that Bai Li really understands her, but she has never really understood Bai Li.
…
Western Region, Station.
"This grand event in the Western Regions is coming to an end soon. I wonder when your Majesty plans to set off?" Mu Huaicheng looked around and lowered his voice. "Your Majesty, walls have ears."
Xiao Junze glanced coldly out of the window and walked over step by step.
"Ah!" Xiao Junze grabbed the person outside the window and frowned.
It's Atua.
"It's so late, I wonder what Princess Atua is doing outside the window?" Xiao Junze suddenly let go of her and looked coldly at Atua, who was unsteady and fell to the ground.
Atua was a little embarrassed and looked at Xiao Junze nervously. "Your Majesty...I, I didn't mean it. I just saw someone sneaking outside the window and was worried about your safety. Atua had absolutely no other intentions."
Atua tried to explain that someone was really sneaking around just now.
She came here because she was worried.
"Why did my sister fall to the ground?"
Not far away is Aduozhu.
The Western Region Festival is about to end, and what Aduozhu can't wait for most is to get rid of Atua first.
At this grand event, Atua shines on the stage, and as a direct princess, her status and reputation are extremely threatening to her.
King Rouran, who had originally promised to sacrifice Atua, now began to hesitate and even changed his mind.
Aduozhu cannot continue to sit still and wait for death.
Narrowing her eyes, Aduozhu slowly clenched her hands.
Atua must die. If she doesn't die, she might be the one who dies.
Now the only way for King Rouran to continue treating Atua as an abandoned son is to let Xiao Junze abandon Atua.
Judging from Xiao Junze's appearance, he would not be willing to bring Atua back to the palace.
She had heard from the envoy to Fengtian that what Xiao Junze really wanted was the prairie goddess, Aduozhu.
Narrowing his eyes, Aduozhu brushed his body towards Xiao Junze in an extremely appropriate manner. "Aduozhu has met your majesty."
Atua was so angry at Aduozhu's appearance of a flourishing white lotus that he wanted to tear her disguised mask apart.
Pretending to be an innocent woman, she clearly has evil intentions.
"Rouran is very free?" Xiao Junze asked coldly.
Obviously, Xiao Junze's mood is not high. No one should provoke him at this time.
Mu Huaicheng took a deep breath silently. His Majesty... has been in a bad state these past few days.
"Your Majesty, I'm here to take my sister away. My father sent me a letter asking my sister to return to Rouran." A Duozhu said with deep meaning.
If Xiao Junze refuses to keep Atua, then Atua must leave.
On the way back to Rouran, she would not let Atua live.
Atua stood up in panic, a little at a loss, and his eyes were filled with redness and tears anxiously.
No, she doesn't want to go back to Rouran.
Behind Atua, Jiufeng, who was looking for him anxiously, also looked at Xiao Junze nervously.
Xiao Junze's decision is whether Atua's life or death...
Jiufeng knew very well that returning to Rouran meant death, or even a situation more terrifying than death.
Princess Rouran, who was abandoned by Fengtian, how could she still be respected after returning to Rouran?
She will become the laughing stock of the entire prairie.
In any case, Jiufeng wants to plead with Xiao Junze to keep Atua.
But Jiufeng didn't know how to speak.
Xiao Junze glanced at A Duozhu indifferently, and he was naturally aware of A Duozhu's little thoughts.
But, what does Atua's life and death have to do with him?
"Your Majesty... I, can I stay with you and go back to Fengtian with you? I..." Atua spoke with a tearful tone and had already begun to tremble.
She is also afraid.
No matter how unruly and willful she is, she still knows what being sent back to Rouran means.
…
"Princess Atua will return to Fengtian with Your Majesty, so Princess Aduozhu doesn't have to worry."
Behind him, Chaoyang came walking in a white dress.
The atmosphere became strangely quiet for a moment, and everyone's eyes fell on Chaoyang.
Under the moonlight, the beauty of the rising sun and the moonlight seem to blend into one.
She was wearing the clothes of a saint from the Western Regions, which brought a charm that she had never seen before in the foreign land. The clothes also perfectly outlined Chaoyang's figure.
A Duozhu's face darkened. Since she has become the Saint of the Western Regions, why not stay in the Saint's Hall? What are you doing here?
"Chao'er." Mu Huaicheng was happy to see Chaoyang. It could be seen that Chaoyang was wearing a dress from the Western Regions, so he subconsciously looked away.
No wonder everyone says that there are witches from the Western Regions. Whether it is the customs and costumes or the appearance of women from the Western Regions, they are worthy of the word "charm".
After all, Chao'er is a woman with the blood of the Western Region royal family flowing in her blood.
"The saint is also very leisurely?" Xiao Junze's eyes became darker and darker, and his voice was frighteningly cold.
With his hands behind his back, Xiao Junze had already clenched his fists.
Abandon him, choose Yin Cheng, and now you have to control whether he takes other women or not.
His patience also has limits.
Chaoyang took a deep breath and knew that he should not get involved in Xiao Junze's affairs anymore.
"Your Majesty, can we talk alone?" Chaoyang slowly clenched his fingers.
"It's not necessary." Xiao Junze turned around, not giving Chaoyang a chance.
