I have a book of salvation

After saying that, the official didn't seem relieved and looked left and right for a long time.

After discovering that there was nothing around except Yu Chen outside the mausoleum guarding house, he felt relieved, exhaled a breath, and patted Yu Chen's shoulder again.

"Sir, we are only telling you this, please don't spread it everywhere, otherwise we won't be able to please you! You understand!"

"Understood, understood." Yu Chen nodded repeatedly.

The officer just coughed twice, looked at the corpses that had been buried by several other colleagues, and shouted: "Is it over? Let's go down the mountain when it's over. Let's go drink!"

"okay!"

Several officials in the distance responded, holding up shovels.

After a while, under Yu Chen's gaze, a group of officials went down the mountain.

And he waved, and the skeleton and flesh-like ghost followed him and entered the house together.

A familiar road.

He took out the scripture of saving people, and as the golden light shone brightly, the ghost seemed to realize that the person in front of him seemed to be able to help him realize his last wish of never ending his life in peace.

Immediately kneel on the ground and kowtow!

"Sir! Zhou Xiaoyu begs you to save the princess!"

After the words fell, Yu Chen was stunned.

Princess?

What princess?

Weren't you killed by a thousand cuts because of your affair with the imperial concubine?

Who is the princess?

In the midst of confusion, the man who called himself Zhou Xiaoyu flashed past one by one.

Zhou Xiaoyu, a native of Beijing, died at the age of thirty-nine.

In addition to the name Zhou Xiaoyu, he also has another name - Thirteen.

As for his identity, he is a dead soldier.

Twenty years ago, there was a woman in Jinfeng County, Daxia. She was born with a beautiful and fragrant woman. She was spotted by Emperor Qiyuan who came out of the palace incognito. She took her as a noble concubine and called her - Concubine Li.

Eighteen years ago, Concubine Li died of dystocia after giving birth to her last daughter for Emperor Qi Yuan. Her daughter was named Zhou Rui and Princess Qi'an.

And Zhou Xiaoyu, or Thirteen, was a dead soldier under Concubine Li Guifei. Before Concubine Li's death, she was entrusted with taking care of Princess Qi'an.

This lasted for more than ten years.

Later, when Princess Qi'an was sixteen years old, Emperor Qi Yuan went crazy and insisted on making Princess Qi'an, his daughter, his concubine.

The ministers came to remonstrate, and even the old man Wen Sheng pointed at the old man's nose and cursed, but they did not stop him. He really asked him to marry Princess Qi'an and give her the title of Concubine Qi.

As Concubine Li's dead bodyguard and Princess Qi'an's shadow guard, Thirteen naturally followed Princess Qi'an into the Luanyi Palace.

When he saw this, Yu Chen was stunned.

Royal concubine?

Princess?

He finally understood.

The imperial concubine who was rumored to be having an affair with Zhou Xiaoyu was the same person as the "princess" in Zhou Xiaoyu's mouth!

——He suddenly remembered that the old man Literary Saint seemed to have told him that Emperor Qi Yuan married his own daughter as his concubine.

So Princess Qi'an is both a princess and a noble concubine.

That makes sense.

Revolving lantern, continue to look down.

As the shadow guard who has been guarding Princess Qi'an since she was born, Shisanyi actually didn't like this princess at first, and was even quite...disgusted.

Because he believed from the bottom of his heart that it was the appearance of Princess Qi'an that led to the death of his master, Concubine Li.

Since Princess Qi'an was born, she has been well protected by Emperor Qi Yuan - even to a twisted and pathological degree.

Although the other princes and princesses cannot run around like ordinary children because of their status, they can at least go out of the palace to play and wander under the protection of the guards, and they can also study and practice martial arts under the guidance of specialized masters in the palace. You can also enter Jixia Academy to meet playmates of the same age.

But Princess Qi'an was the only one who had been placed in a deep palace since she was a child and was not allowed to step out.

As her shadow guard, Thirteen naturally does the same.

In addition, from the beginning of Princess Qi'an's memory, Thirteen discovered that this princess was extraordinary.

Not only can he discover Thirteen hiding in the shadows at a young age, but he can also do things like "prophecy".

For example, once, when she was crying, Shisan asked her what was wrong, and she said that a century-old turtle in the palace was dying.

Of course Thirteen didn't take it seriously, he just thought it was a child's nonsense.

But within two days, the old turtle, who was still full of life, was really dead.

At that moment, Thirteen faced that innocent little princess and felt chills running down his spine!

At the same time, since then, Thirteen has also been full of curiosity about this little princess.

Subconsciously, I began to observe her and get in touch with her.

And with more and more contacts, what Thirteen didn't realize was that he could no longer loathe the "murderer" who killed his beloved Concubine Li.

That little girl's clear and innocent smile was simply irresistible to the cold-hearted Death Soldier.

Time passes.

There were more and more exchanges between the two.

Thirteen has already been full of love for this kind-hearted and ignorant little girl.

Later, Princess Qi'an asked Thirteen's name again, and Thirteen finally said that he had no name. He had been a dead soldier trained by Concubine Li's family since he was a child, and his codename was Thirteen.

Who knows, after knowing this, Princess Qi'an's face turned bitter, and she cried loudly while hugging Shi San, saying that he was so pitiful, which made Shi San at a loss.

After crying enough, she put on a little face again and said she wanted to give Thirteen a name. After much deliberation, she finally smiled and took her last name, plus her favorite fish as her name, and called her Zhou Xiao. fish.

That day, Thirteen, who had lived for decades, had a name for the first time.

The cold defense in my heart finally collapsed.

From then on, Princess Qi'an's position in his heart completely replaced Concubine Li, and she became the target of his protection even to the death.

And because she was so well protected by Emperor Qiyuan, Princess Qi'an had no contact with anyone else at all, and she also regarded the taciturn Zhou Xiaoyu as the closest person.

A little princess who is like a bird in a cage, and an unknown person who died, became each other's sustenance.

Later, Emperor Qiyuan ignored the advice of his ministers and made Princess Nazian his concubine. Although Zhou Xiaoyu was furious, after all, the holy will was supreme and could not be stopped.

But what made him feel a little lucky was that although Princess Qi'an became "Qi Fei" and moved to the more strict Luanyi Palace.

But Emperor Qiyuan didn't seem to be interested in Princess Qi'an, and he never came to Luanyi Palace once.

It's just that after entering Luanyi Palace, the guards in the palace became even tighter. In the past, when she was a princess, Qi An could still sneak out of the palace gate and go around the imperial city twice.

But when she suddenly became Concubine Qi, even taking half a step out of Luanyi Palace became uncertain.

For three whole years, he never stepped out of Luanyi Palace.

Zhou Xiaoyu felt uncomfortable every time he saw Princess Qi'an looking at the window with such longing in her eyes.

But Princess Qi'an was extremely sensible and never cried or made trouble. Zhou Xiaoyu had nothing to say to comfort her.

Only in the dead of night, the little princess lay on the bed, puffing and blinking her big eyes.

Zhou Xiaoyu was hiding in the shadow of the bed, telling her about the outside world.

The bustling streets of the capital, the singing and dancing flower boats in Luoshui, the sweet ducks in Zhuque City, the fireworks in Baihu City... and the sunrise in Jinfengya, Princess Qi'an's mother-in-law, Jinfeng County, the hometown of Concubine Li.

Zhou Xiaoyu told Princess Qi'an that when he was training as a dead soldier, whenever he couldn't hold on any longer, he liked to go to Jinfengya to watch the rising sun rising from the eastern sky.

Zhou Xiaoyu said that the bright red sun is a good medicine to cure all pain and sorrow.

Princess Qi'an was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.

If I have a chance in this life, I would like to see the sunrise on Jinfengya.

She said she wanted to see Zhou Xiaoyu's sun.

Zhou Xiaoyu just smiled bitterly after hearing this.

Because he understood that according to Emperor Qi Yuan's behavior, he would probably never let Princess Qi'an leave the palace in his lifetime.

Time continues to pass quietly like running water.

Until a month ago.

It was an extremely ordinary night, with a few stars and a bright moon shining brightly.

Princess Qi'an, who was lying on the bed, suddenly spoke.

In a calm tone, he said words that made Zhou Xiaoyu's hair stand on end.

She said that at the end of the month, on her eighteenth birthday, she would die.

——If someone else said this, Zhou Xiaoyu would not take it seriously at all.

But he had seen Princess Qi'an's "prophecy" ability countless times, and there had never been any mistakes.

That night, Zhou Xiaoyu didn't sleep all night.

Early the next morning, the master and the servant acted as if nothing had happened.

But Zhou Xiaoyu had already decided.

No matter what, let Princess Qi'an go and see the rising sun in Jinfengya that she has been thinking about before she dies.

So, on a dark and windy night, Zhou Xiaoyu took Princess Qi'an, changed her clothes, packed her luggage, and quietly stepped out of the gate of Luanyi Palace.

But it was obvious that both of them underestimated the palace's defensive strength.

——Those Kingsguards are located in every corner of the imperial city. After being cultivated through special means, they have completely lost their own sanity. They will not suffer, will not be afraid, and will not care about anything. They will only act like machines, loyally executing Emperor Qiyuan's order.

Zhou Xiaoyu and Princess Qi'an were discovered without a doubt.

Emperor Qiyuan rushed over and was furious.

Princess Qi'an was thrown into the cold palace and imprisoned.

Zhou Xiaoyu was taken away by the Ministry of Punishment and sentenced to death.

When Zhou Xiaoyu was caught, he angrily shouted out that Princess Qi'an was about to die.

But Emperor Qiyuan remained unmoved and seemed not surprised.

Facing the extremely angry Zhou Xiaoyu, Emperor Qi Yuan glanced at him and told him that Princess Qi'an was his in life and his ghost in death.

In this life, it is impossible to leave the palace!

Later, the story about Princess Qi'an, the concubine Qi, and her guards trying to escape from the palace spread in the imperial city.

Because they didn't know the purpose of the two people and the existence of Jin Fengya, everyone took it for granted that Princess Qi'an had an affair with the guard and was about to elope, but was caught in the end.

As a result, the rumor that the imperial concubine Hongxing had an affair spread like wildfire, and finally spread to the public.
