Tang Mingzhen was already disheartened when he walked out of the hall.
The sky over the imperial city was filled with fireworks, a riot of colors and colors. It suddenly occurred to her that tomorrow was the wedding ceremony of Shangguan Jinnian and Princess Anya.
Every pavilion along the way was filled with palace ladies enjoying the fireworks and drinking wine.
The secret guards escorted Tang Mingzhen and walked through the smiling crowd like a public.
Thousands of tongues immediately started chattering.
"That one over there, is that the monster that blinded the Queen?"
"I've seen him in Anguo Mansion. He was always unruly at that time."
"The letter I just received, the decree has been issued, it will be restricted to the cold palace and will never be forgiven."
"No wonder" "Let me tell you, the emperor's grace is so great" "That's right."
...
Tang Mingzhen lowered his head and wanted to speed up his pace, but his feet felt like lead.
She had already expected that she would be convicted, but she didn't care about anything else just for the sake of her family feud.
The secret guard escorting her suddenly stopped.
She raised her head and suddenly realized that this was not the Huaqing Palace!
There was no one around, and in front of him was a quiet temple-like building. This was originally a place where the royal family of the previous dynasty offered sacrifices. It was abandoned decades ago, but Tang Mingzhen was very familiar with this place. The entrance to the underground palace of the secret guard was right there.
Under this temple.
She subconsciously turned around and walked away, but the person behind her grabbed her neck tightly.
Smokey red tears! She turned her head and looked at her natural enemy in surprise. Which song was this sung from? It was obvious that the little girl had been accompanying her since she went through these disasters!
Those blue eyes that couldn't meet each other were gone.
"Master is waiting." He whispered to Tang Mingzhen quietly.
Tang Mingzhen was even more confused. This area was strictly prohibited from entering and exiting, and it became even colder and gloomier in the cold air of midnight. Tang Mingzhen couldn't help but shudder.
"Is it cold?" Shangguan Jinnian asked her while standing in the temple.
Tang Ming was really confused. Shouldn't he still be in the Chongyang Palace? The secret passages extending in all directions for secret guards were really convenient. After kneeling all night, when she saw Shangguan Jinnian, she reflexively felt knee pain.
Through the mist, she could not clearly see Shangguan Jinnian's expression in the dark temple.
Shangguan Jinnian came out, took off his light fur cloak, and wrapped it around Tang Mingzhen.
His arms were restrained so tightly that Tang Mingzhen struggled several times but was unable to move. Shangguan Jinnian gently picked her up, and Tang Mingzhen subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Why is this necessary? Where can I run?" Tang Ming really thought. He simply closed his eyes and buried his head in the crook of his neck, feeling the long-lost warmth until Shangguan Jinnian put her down.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she started to want to run away without even standing firm.
The hall was brightly lit and there were several huge alchemy furnaces.
Yan Honglei and Yan Hanmu knelt on the ground, looking at her with unclear expressions on their faces.
The most painful memory in Tang Mingzhen's life was the transformation of Feng Menghun into a demon, but the scenes in front of him all repeated that disaster!
"Azhen." Shangguan Jinnian strangled her wrist, and she couldn't escape.
"Change back to how you were before." Shangguan Jinnian pulled her face again.
"Change back to the past?" Tang Ming really didn't want to. But Yan Honglei told her clearly that it was impossible for her to change back to a normal person.
"That's the only way you won't think about revenge, right?" Shangguan Jinnian stared at her doubtful eyes.
He drew his sword out of its sheath and lightly cut his wrist, the blood flowing out of the delicate ice-colored skin. He pulled Tang Mingzhen's neck domineeringly and forced her to drink blood. Tang Mingzhen clenched his teeth in confusion to resist the smell of blood.
Shangguan Jinnian pulled her hair back anxiously, took the blood in his mouth, held her head in his arms, and forcefully pried open her teeth with his lips and tongue, letting the blood go into his throat.
The "card" longevity lock was also opened by Shangguan Jinnian.
Tang Mingzhen's eyes quickly flashed dark red. Smokey Red Tears began to recite a spell in a low voice, and two giant wings flew out.
Tang Mingzhen pushed Shangguan Jinnian away. She was surprised and took a few steps back to protect herself.
There was blood on the corner of Shangguan Jinnian's lips, and there was a frightening determination in his starry eyes.
Tang Mingzhen suddenly understood something instinctively. She quickly turned to Yan Honglei, opening her eyes in fear and asking for help.
In an instant, a sharp sword slashed across her back!
Blood spurted out, and her left wing was cut off.
The huge pain almost tore her body apart! She let out a miserable scream and no longer even had the instinct to escape.
Shangguan Jinnian approached her with a bloody sword, and for the first time Tang Mingzhen saw tears streaming down his cold starry eyes.
Shangguan Jinnian was getting closer and closer, and her vision was getting blurry. She moved her mutilated body backwards in vain. "No... didn't you say you would be with me no matter what I become?" She said to herself
He couldn't even hear his own trembling voice.
Another sword strike. Blood splattered everywhere, and the black marble dragon-carved brick wall was covered with blood stains.
