[Shaoyin] like a short-lived epiphyllum

A sweet voice sounded in my head.

It's a bet.

If that child chooses you, I will save her life.

As a price, your other daughter will be sacrificed.

Is this also possible?

Really can.

"—Why, why not...?"

……

Looking at Changhao who was close in front of her eyes, Zhang Zi stretched out her hand and stroked Changhao's cheek. She said sorry softly and sat up.The breeze was blowing from nowhere, and Tian Yi asked Zhang Zi worriedly when he got up.

"What's wrong? Miss Zhang Zi."

"It's nothing, can you give me the twelve orders that Xue Ling sent over?"

Hearing what Zhang Zi said, Tianyi looked at her in shock, she was very calm, which made her feel distressed.

"……Yes."

In order not to wake Changhao up, Zhang Zi saw the white monster beckoning when he stood up, and walked over quietly.Seeing the serious expression on his face, Zhang Zi knelt down and stroked his head.

"Don't make such an expression. What's the matter, Ma-kun?"

"Zhang Zi, I want to ask you something."

Zhang Zi nodded in surprise, it was the first time he asked her.

"Changhao... is now at a critical juncture. If he makes a wrong step, he will fall into the abyss beyond redemption."

Looking at the sunset-like eyes of the demon king, Zhang Zi nodded, she knew, that's why she couldn't stay by his side anymore.But she also knows that he needs her and Grandpa Qingming very much now, because that is the belief that is currently supporting him.But no, if it goes on like this, she is afraid that she will respond to that voice at some point, the voice that tempted her.

"Grandpa Seimei's soul has gone out of his body? That's not okay. If it goes on like this, his body won't be able to bear it."

If the old man continues to use this technique, he will be the same as that priestess, and will go to that world one step ahead of them, she doesn't want it...

"Ah... We have reminded him many times, but he is just like that."

The Demon Lord turned his head to look at the gradually deepening night sky, which was the prelude to the coming morning.Thinking that every time for Chang Hao's child, the old man who has been worrying about his grandson will always show up to help him when he is most helpless, but this also comes at a price.

Knowing this... He always said that no matter whether he could go back to the past or not, he would still do it.

"Well, Changho also has such a personality."

Zhang Zi pursed his lips, narrowed his eyes and laughed.

"...Anyway, Zhang Zi..."

Zhang Zi looked down at the monster, and he seemed to let her see a young man who was not in the current posture.

"For that fool who always disregards personal safety, he probably won't listen to what we say. You are the final key."

Although they are god generals, there are many things that they cannot do, things that cannot be accomplished even with all their strength.So the only one who can do this for them is this delicate girl in front of him.Because what can touch people's hearts the most is the strong heart of fellow human beings.

"Well, I will."

Zhang Zi looked at Mo Jun and Gou Zhen who were so sincere, she nodded and replied.But thinking about the relationship between Tianyi and Suzaku, when Tianyi wanted to say that sentence many times, Suzaku always frowned and looked very dissatisfied, so he asked curiously.

"Did something happen between Tianyi and Suzaku?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Has anyone among the Twelve Generals died before?"

Sometimes Zhang Zi's intuition was so accurate that they were a little surprised, so the devil's sunset-like pupils quietly looked at Gouzhen, showing that he didn't want to talk about this topic, and Gouzhen flicked Zhangzi's forehead helplessly.

"Sometimes, some things are better not to know."

"But……"

"The Twelve God Generals are not immortal. We will die because of our injuries. It's just that the body will disappear. If the godhead is still there, a new body will still be born."

Gouzhen sighed softly, she couldn't resist Zhang Zi's eyes, so she had to resign herself to telling her the matter.

"Although she was reborn, the memory will no longer be there. ——Tianyi, she died once."

Zhang Zi opened his mouth in shock, unable to say a word for a long time.

That was a long time ago, and both humans and gods think that it is a very distant past.They don't want to recall the past, even now seeing Tianyi treating serious injuries for someone, Suzaku will still be afraid of Tianyi again...

"As soon as the dead sky is reborn, it will be in front of Suzaku."

Clutching his sleeves tightly, Zhang Zi couldn't stop trembling.

Gou Zhen said this fact calmly.Why did it become like that, probably only Suzaku knew about it, no matter how much you asked him, he would keep silent, as long as he didn't tell, then they probably would never know.

"What was Tianyi in the past... like?"

"It's two extremes from now. Today's Tianyi is very quiet, but in the past Tianyi was slightly older than Suzaku, and his personality was lively and strong. She has short hair that reaches her shoulders. As long as she calls Suzaku's name, No matter where Suzaku is, she can always hear her call."

"So, Suzaku has always called Tianyi the most precious."

Tianyi, Tiangui, Tianyi nobleman.

With no memories of the past, and a completely different temperament and appearance from before, Tianyi has become a brand new existence.

"But...they are very affectionate now, that's enough."

Zhang Zi was very fortunate that Tian Yi was not allowed to say that sentence, otherwise the most hurt would be Suzaku who has always cherished Tian Yi.It is because she cherishes Tianyi, so she will let her do everything, even if what she does is very dangerous.

"Miss, your clothes."

Seeing Tianyi who suddenly appeared, Zhang Zi hesitated for a moment and stretched out his arms to hug Tianyi. The frightened Tianyi asked worriedly, but Zhang Zi just shook his head and the strength of his arms was a bit heavier.Zhang Zi rubbed against the temperature that belonged exclusively to Tianyi, she finally raised her head to look into her blue eyes.

"Thank you, Tianyi."

After taking the clothes from Tianyi's arms, Zhang Zi let go of Tianyi and walked behind the screen to change his clothes, just now he asked Gou Zhen to call Xue Ling over to pick her up.Looking at the gorgeous twelve singles on his body, Zhang Zi stroked the amulet in his arms and closed his eyes.

"So... I still can't keep you."

"Well, but thank you for telling me so much."

After she finished changing, the white monster came in and sat down beside her, flicking its tail.

"I... can't stay here any longer, the prime minister is targeting me, I can't let Miss Zhangzi get hurt."

"Changho will be sad. And..."

Those twelve generals who had deep contact with Zhang Zi would also be sad.

Even so, she has to do it, for the sake of her father, and especially for the Abe family.

>>>

"... Ayako..."

Relying on Xue Ling's relationship, Zhang Zi, who was invisible, walked out of the shadows and watched the girl go away, tightening her arms tightly, and she bit her lower lip tightly.The plan Ayako told her was that she pretended to be Zhang Zi, because she knew her too well, so she acted the most like her, and Xue Ling, who was stronger than her, would guard Zhang Zi instead of her.

But... if exposed, there is no doubt that Ayako will be in trouble.

What she's afraid of is——

It was just the fact that Ayako would get hurt.

"If it wasn't for the Taoist priest, Cheng Ya would not have followed the Fujiwara family."

Xue Ling, who knew the truth, sighed, and licked Zhang Zi's finger to tell her not to worry.Even Ayako was once the container of Amaterasu, and is now the only descendant of the fox clan without demon power.

"I……"

"what?"

Zhang Zi shook his head and said with a smile that it was all right, but the strength did not loosen half a bit, and he thought that Zhang Zi was just worried about Ayako and didn't care about it.But it's not, only Zhang Zi knows that she was in Abe house when they were not paying attention.

She went to visit Gao Longshen because she dreamed about it, so she was worried.

Gao Longshen chuckled, and then told her a way, a way that only she can achieve.

——"But if you do this, they will blame themselves, for sure."

The blond woman beside Gao Yu flicked her tail and narrowed her golden eyes.

She felt that the gaze was very disapproving, and gave her a feeling of 'ah, this human being is also so selfish'.But that's right, she is so selfish, she selfishly thinks that as long as she does something, they will never leave her.She selfishly thought that if she died, they would always remember her.

--"……I know."

It was because he knew that, that's why he did this, and he wanted Ayako not to be hurt.

"Pray, pray that you come back safely.

——Pray, pray and pass on all the hurt to me. "

Zhang Zi stood not far away watching the rising flames, she clenched the amulet in her hand and murmured softly, but Xue Ling, who was waiting for an opportunity not far away, could hear her.

"Pray that everything will end."

"Zhangzi, I'm going."

Zhang Zi closed his eyes and nodded.In the darkness, something flickered around her, and that bit of fluorescent light drifted into the distance, like the fireflies that appeared in summer, flying towards the place where she prayed.These things were not discovered by Xue Ling who had been paying attention over there.

Xue Ling saw the timing was right, and after reciting a few spells softly, Zhang Zi disappeared in place, appearing between the pond and the goma altar not far away.This sudden change surprised the generals who were hiding aside.The first thing that came to their mind was Zhang Zi, who had decided to enter the palace not long ago, about the incident of Shenyin in the middle palace that was reported by the maids.

"That is……"

Someone asked hoarsely.

"It's Nakamiya!"

"Great, Nakamiya is back!"

"Quick, get the clothes here!"

The emperor's wife, after the middle palace, cannot show her beauty in front of others.

Looking at the general not far away and——

Zhangzi hiding beside the white tiger.

She shook her head slightly.

As if to say.

Can't do that.

You can't do that.

That was an irrational decision.

>>>

I thought Zhang Zi had replaced Zhang Zi to live in the palace, but I didn't expect that when he came back, both the general and Zhang Zi had shocked faces.After he asked Liuhe, he opened his eyes wide when he knew the truth, Zhang Zi came back, but what he saw with his own eyes at that time——

He watched helplessly as she was devoured by Rakshasa.

It's clearly agreed, and I will protect you.

He cried with remorse, and it was because he lost Zhang Zi that he wanted to do his best the moment before Raksha devoured Zhang Zi until the moment when his spiritual power was about to bottom out.

But now that Zhang Zi is in the palace, who was taken away?

But that must be Zhang Zi's most cherished person.

The strength of being held tightly by the arm is still clearly remembered, and he suddenly remembered what the girl said with her mouth open at that time. He clearly remembered it clearly, but he couldn't remember anything after being said by Liuhe.

"Chang Hao, take a break."

"No, no..."

It has already entered Mizunazuki, and the rainy season is probably about to stop.

The young man and the devil rode straight to the deepest part of the expensive ship in the demon chariot.

The Demon Lord kept looking at Chang Hao who was sitting in the car with his knees hugged. He expressed his powerlessness. He couldn't dissuade Chang Hao's stubbornness, but the only person who could persuade him was already in the palace beyond his reach.

Every morning, I have to go to work in the Yinyang Liao, and at night, I have to work hard to search for the Rakshasa, and I don't seem to have stopped all day long.But if it goes on like this, sooner or later he will be exhausted, so he can only keep persuading him.

It is said that the barnacle palace will be moved from Tuyumen Hall to the harem, and it is not in Ouchi, but a part of Imairi where the emperor and the empress dowager live.It is said that it was specially arranged by the current emperor to care about the frail and sickly Zhonggong.

Chang Hao got the news when his work in Yinyang Liao was about to end and he was about to leave work.While he was busy working, he was stopped by his brothers from behind.

The brothers asked where the vine flowers would bloom.

The brothers who got the answer sighed and continued.

——“I heard what the people above said just now.”

——"The middle palace of the barnacles will enter the palace in the next few days."

Compared with Nakamiya's health, they were more worried about what would happen to her who was invaded by monsters, so they made a hasty decision, for the safety of her body, and to remove the poison in her body as soon as possible. Dirty, let Onmyoji to purify.

Before those things happened, Chang Hao completely forgot about the relationship between those days and Zhang Zi's heart that he was not swallowed by Rakshasa.

Zhang Zi is going to enter the palace.

——As the Empress of the Central Palace.

This is something he can't escape... the truth.

The author has something to say: The countdown to the Tianhu chapter has also begun!

What about the next chapter?

To enter the palace or not to enter the palace!
