I am neither beautiful nor crazy
Chapter 72
"I want him to come back to life, and I want to pay back all those who have harmed him." Shen Chen stared at the ice and said slowly, "But sometimes, I don't know what to do."
Jiang Yu had already walked a long distance on the ice, and was about to be able to reach out and touch the coffin.
"Do you need me to avoid it?" Shen Chen asked, "Do you need some alone time?"
Jiang Yu nodded lightly.
He stared at the coffin for a long time, but suddenly realized that he didn't need Shen Chen to avoid it.
He just thought about what was in his heart, but didn't say it.
He thought of the close friendship between the two since he was a child, and the moment when the other party resolutely rescued him in the court and decided to go to northern Xinjiang by himself.
I also thought of the other party's dodging eyes every time I mentioned the past.
"Actually, I don't blame you as much as I imagined." Jiang Yu suddenly lowered his head and said, "I also hope you can live."
He put his hand on the edge of the coffin and tried to open it, but there were conflicts.He was afraid to see the intact body of the other party, as if everything was the same as many years ago, and the other party just took a sleepy nap in a certain afternoon.
He was also afraid of seeing the other party's rotten and hideous corpse, just like when Xiao Xiangling found his own corpse.
Shen Chen only said: He hopes that person can survive.
Jiang Yu knew that Xiao Xiangling's obsession was much deeper.
He took a deep breath and finally pulled the heavy coffin away.
The sight in front of him made him freeze in place for an instant.
There are no well-preserved corpses, and no rotting corpses.
This is an empty coffin.
Xiao Xiangling also felt that strong thrust. With the huge shock, he and Jiang Yu were forced to separate for a moment, but then someone came up behind him.
He subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull the other person over, but the person avoided him intentionally or unintentionally.
The two continued to walk forward.
A sharp arc suddenly appeared in front of him. Before that, Xiao Xiangling's steps paused imperceptibly for a moment, and then he walked forward as if nothing had happened. He slightly tilted his head and said to the people behind him, "Follow me closely."
The person behind nodded, and rubbed the back of his head against Xiao Xiangling's back.
Xiao Xiangling took the lead to walk from the corner to the other side, and in the secret dark place, he silently took out the dagger from his arms and held it in his hand, then quickly turned around in the narrow passage, and stabbed the dagger straight to the other side .
But it was not as expected, there was a muffled sound of the blade sinking into the body.He only felt a numbness in his arm, and when he pulled the dagger back, he was horrified to find that the other end seemed to be stuck in a hard rock wall, and he couldn't pull it back at all.
The next moment, a huge pulling force came from the other end of the blade, and he was dragged out in a bit of a panic, and then the dagger in his hand was pressed against his throat.
Xiao Xiangling's eyes looked at him in the dark, as if about to burst into flames. The air pressure ready to go out was like a bloodthirsty wolf, which made people subconsciously panic.
"It really is you." He said in a deep voice, with the other hand tightly clasping the other person's throat, "Since I saw Shen Chen last time, I have suspected that you are not dead."
The prince stared at Xiao Xiangling for a long time, then suddenly lowered his hands without resisting, and said with a smile, "I called Jiang Yu to come here last time, but I never expected it to be you. Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for a long time..."
"He came with me, wouldn't it be easy to meet him?" Xiao Xiangling asked back, "You just have a guilty conscience, you lied to him twice and dare not admit it, so you have no face to meet."
The crown prince lowered his head slightly. His natural eyes are round and drooping like crescent moons, so he always gives people a kind and benevolent feeling. He usually speaks in a soft voice and is extremely elegant.
Now his facial features have not changed in the slightest, but his expression has become much haggard, as if he no longer has the strength to make a smirk expression.
"You're right." He said softly, without retorting, "After all, I am sorry for him, and I dare not see him again. It is only right for him to hate me."
"What if not?" Xiao Xiangling asked suddenly, "What if he didn't hate you as much as you imagined. If he also valued the friendship for many years before, he still has goodwill towards you."
The prince's expression paused for a rare moment, then raised his head cautiously and tentatively, and asked, "Is that true?"
"But it doesn't seem to be that important anymore." He looked at each other, "Are you together?"
"It's obvious." Xiao Xiangling took a small step forward, and pressed the dagger harder on the opponent's neck, "Don't delay, what exactly are you trying to do, where is Jiangyu?"
"General Xiao don't have to worry, I won't hurt Jiang Yu a single bit, I'm separating you now to tell you something." He raised his eyes, "I'm also afraid that he will get hurt."
He motioned Xiao Xiangling to move the dagger away, and then said, "Shen Chen has been wandering around the world all year round, and he has heard many anecdotes and strange things."
"How to save him?" Xiao Xiangling went straight to the point.
The prince stared at the other party for a long time, then slowly shook his head and said, "There is no such method."
Xiao Xiangling held his breath, and gradually clenched his hands into fists.
"But he has heard of a very risky prescription. No one has actually tried it, so he has no way of knowing how effective it is. But this is also the main reason why I called you here today."
"What method?" Xiao Xiangling asked without hesitation.
"Through you." The prince stared into the other person's eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "What can you do for him? Cut to death by a thousand knives? Killed?"
"No."
After a long time, the other party replied.
"As long as I'm alive," he said, "he can't see my dead body."
After a long silence, the other party suddenly sighed in compromise, and said softly, "The destiny cannot be violated. If you really want to violate it, you will have to pay the corresponding price. If you save a life, you must pay a life."
"How to change?"
"His heart hurts, so give him your heart."
Xiao Xiangling took a light breath, "How?"
"How he gave before, how you give now."
"What is before?" Xiao Xiangling stared at him closely, and suddenly thought of a possibility that made his whole body chill, "You mean..."
"Yes." He replied, "Theoretically, not only will he be in pain, but so will you. But if one person sacrifices voluntarily, at least the other person can be protected."
It was as if the electric current burst from the deepest part of the chest, and then diffused to the limbs, bringing dizzying shudders.All the precursors and clues were connected together, and he suddenly understood Jiang Yu's previous actions.
The state of always looking at him from a distance, but not approaching him; obscure and inexplicable words and frequent hints of leaving; intentionally or unintentionally trying to cover up and finally leaving without saying goodbye...
He once felt that Jiangyu was as cold as a god in the sky, and he was an unattainable person.He has never dared to suppress appreciation from a distance, and has never had the slightest presumptuous thought.
I used to be only angry, disappointed and puzzled by Jiang Yu's behavior of leaving without saying goodbye. I never thought that I would have any relationship with myself, and I never imagined that the other party might be a long time ago, before I even realized it. At this point, there are already thoughts beyond normal friendship.
He thought that he had polished the sword between the two to be smooth and bright, but he didn't know that before he found the sword, another person had carefully picked it up and polished off every rust and edge .
It's just that the man threw the sword on the ground afterwards, making it impossible for anyone to notice.
The two were silent for a long time, and the prince spoke again, "If an ordinary person dug out his heart and confessed his crime, he would definitely die, but if not, he might not really die. No one has ever tried it, and there is no guarantee that Jiangyu will not see your body."
"But I mainly want to tell you something today."
He looked directly at each other, "If you violate this rule and insist on staying together, like you did before, it will only harm him."
Jiang Yu closed the coffin and began to observe the surrounding scene.
This is an open space that is close to a standard circle. The ice surface is extremely thick, like a natural ice lake, but the surface has traces of being deliberately polished.
He walked forward slowly along the original road, but frowned slightly when he reached the narrow entrance of the return journey.
From separating from Xiao Xiangling to walking here, it took at least two sticks of incense.The path inside the cave is rugged and winding, with an unknown number of turns, and almost every turn leads to several different paths.
It is almost impossible for him to walk out the same way from here by luck or memory.
He called the names of Shen Chen and Xiao Xiangling a few times, but there was no response as expected, so he took out the soft sword from his cuff, pressed it against the inside of his forearm and held it tightly.
He tried his best to walk out along the memory while analyzing the current situation.
Shen Chen separated him from Xiao Xiangling and led him to the empty coffin, with obvious intentions.
I don't want to hurt him, but I want to delay the time and prevent him from going out soon.
But procrastinating on something.
What are they waiting for and what do they want to do.
Another extremely important hidden clue was Xiao Xiangling's side.Since the two were back to back at the time, if you want to confuse the line of sight with this method, there must be two people.
Who was that person walking behind Xiao Xiangling?
Jiang Yu recalled the empty coffin that was supposed to hold the prince's body in the middle of the ice lake, and suddenly had an absurd and creepy guess.
Relying on the path in his memory, he searched back bit by bit, marking everywhere with a soft sword, until he came to a very familiar turning point for the third time.
Even the texture of the stone is exactly the same, but there are no traces of what he just painted.
Jiang Yu suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and searched carefully in the place where he was used to engraving marks.After a while, the consequences were not as expected, and the engraving traces scraped off by the dagger were found.
Someone followed him and deliberately scratched off the key mark he carved on the stone wall with a dagger.
"Who is it?" Jiang Yu asked in a tight voice.
Perhaps due to the special internal structure, the sound was constantly whirling and striking inside the stone wall, and he could hear echoes and movements from all directions.
Until all the echoes completely subsided, he heard a person's answer.
He was very familiar with that person's voice. He had asked him if it was cold in the winter when he was a child, and he had softly persuaded him that it was nothing serious after he was injured.
Jiang Yu felt that his heartbeat would stop suddenly at that moment.
"...It's you." His voice echoed over and over in the stone wall.
"His Royal Highness, long time no see."
