Quick Wear: She is the White Moonlight
Chapter 248: The Sacrifice of the Great Witch of Southern Xinjiang, White Moonlight (4)
Mei Jing followed Yue Bai's gaze and saw the note. Perhaps she was completely relieved about Yue Bai, so she nodded and said, "Take it if you want to see it."
Yue Bai signaled the palace servants around him to fetch it, and then bowed: "Your Majesty, I will take my leave. Tomorrow I will ask someone to bring the people in the village to my palace. Please give me the antidote."
Mei Jing put down the letter in her hand and said calmly, "There is no antidote."
Yuebai stood up: "No? Then..."
"Because they have to die, it doesn't matter whether there is an antidote or not. We haven't developed one yet. But if you want to detoxify a few people, you can do it for them yourself. You have been protected by the Wahuang Flower since you were a child, and your blood can detoxify all kinds of poisons."
Yuebai looked at Rose in shock after hearing this: "Queen Mother..."
"So, you can't let them know. Except for you and me..." Mei Jing lowered her voice, as if casting a curse on Yue Bai, "If they know, they won't let you go. Be careful."
On the way back, Yuebai kept echoing these words in his mind. When he finally got back, he saw that the candles in Ganlu Palace had gone out, so he called someone over and asked, "Has the Great Witch gone to bed?"
"Your Highness, the Ganlu Palace has not been lit today." The palace servant replied carefully, "Your Highness, do you want to set up the Ganlu Palace?"
"No need." Yuebai ordered someone to bring a candle, and began to read the notebook by the firelight. As she knew, the Life and Death Bone was indeed divided into Living Gu and Dead Gu, but it also described in detail how the Dead Bone controlled poisonous people, how to separate the Living Gu and Dead Gu, and even had a record of the Wa Huanghua.
After reading it, Yuebai silently put the letter aside and looked up to see that the moon was already at its highest point in the sky.
She couldn't sleep because she was worried about something, so she got up and wanted to take a walk in the back garden of the bedroom to relax. When she opened the door, she saw that the window of Ganlu Palace was open. Qi Xun was leaning against the window looking in her direction. He seemed to have not expected Yue Bai to open the door suddenly. Their eyes met. Qi Xun was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Yuebai walked directly to the gate of Ganlu Palace and ordered people to open the gate: "You guys can leave for a while. We don't need anyone to serve us here."
Everyone said "yes" and left.
Yue Bai slowly walked into the palace and said, "I will have them come to you tomorrow. I will detoxify you and then find a chance to leave."
Qi Xun asked: "If we leave, what will you do? I promised him that I would take you back."
Speaking of Qi Shu, Yue Bai's eyes became moist: "But I can't go with him, I am the only crown prince here, if I leave, my mother will lead the army to flatten the southern border.
Sometimes I really wish I were just an ordinary woman in the village, who could sing and dance in front of the Zhurong Temple, talk to my beloved, and finally hold a wedding and spend the rest of my life together.
But Great Witch, he and I are destined not to be happy. I have the Wahuang Flower on me, so I am a person of power even in the village."
"Are you really happy? This crown prince is a shackle to you. You have been trapped in this cage of mist and rain for the first half of your life. We are willing to take you out, as long as you nod." Qi Xun stared into Yue Bai's eyes and made a promise to her solemnly, "You can also be an ordinary woman in the village, or... live with him until old age."
"My love for him is nothing compared to the Queen Mother's ambition and the survival of the people in the village. He doesn't want the people in the village to become poisonous corpses, and my choice is the same as his." Yue Bai paused after speaking, "Great Witch, I can find a way to relieve your pain of the life and death Gu heart replacement. From now on, no one will have to sacrifice for this."
Qi Xun didn't seem to think that Yue Bai could have a solution, but he changed his mind and asked, "How did you know that?"
"It was the Queen Mother who told me that she wanted the Life and Death Gu."
"Are you going to take my life and death Gu for her?" Qi Xun asked with a frown.
Yue Bai shook his head and replied: "I just want you all to be free. I want to destroy the Life and Death Gu. Believe me, I can do it."
Qi Xun just looked at Yue Bai. He could feel that Qi Shu had woken up, so he took the initiative to give up control of his body.
Yuebai looked at the person in front of him, and his light gray pupils slowly turned into dark ink.
"Ashu..." Yuebai recognized him almost the moment they switched places.
Qi Shu reached out and hugged Yue Bai, gently stroking her long hair: "I know this is not your fault. We all came here to save you. Yue Bai, listen to me, it was not your wish for the tribute to enter Southern Xinjiang to poison people. You don't have to bear these responsibilities on yourself. You are also one of us."
The tears in Yuebai's eyes finally fell and sank into the collar of the man in front of her.
"We agreed that you would accompany me to find the past and promise me a future." Yuebai said in a sobbing voice.
Qi Xun naturally also heard these words in his sea of consciousness, and he echoed in his heart: It was me who helped you find the past, and even helped you experience the past.
"Don't be afraid, Yuebai, I will take you away..." But before she could finish her words, the palace gate was opened and Meijing stood at the door.
Yue Bai immediately protected Qi Shu behind him: "Why is the Queen Mother here at this time?"
"How can I know that you are really attracted to a person from Southern Xinjiang if I don't come here?" Mei Jing stood at the door without moving an inch. "Someone, separate Your Highness from this remnant from Southern Xinjiang."
The worshippers, dressed in uniform, entered the hall in an orderly manner. Qi Shu tugged at Yue Bai's sleeve, signaling her not to act rashly.
"You are a native of Southern Xinjiang. You stole the Queen Nuwa Flower and betrayed Southern Xinjiang with the royal family. I have never held you accountable for these things. But you have evil intentions." Qi Shu said as he took out a clay xun.
Mei Jing must also have the sub-Gu of the Life and Death Gu in her body, but she is suppressing it with the help of Queen Wa. Qi Shu took out the pottery xun, and sure enough, Mei Jing's face changed slightly.
The worshippers drew their weapons one after another, but Yuebai's eyes flickered. She didn't want her mother and her lover to confront each other, but she was afraid that there was no way to resolve the situation peacefully.
"Mother Queen, I just want him to hand over the Life and Death Gu to me willingly. I will not fall in love with anyone." Yuebai explained.
Mei Jing looked them up and down, as if evaluating how credible Yue Bai's words were. Facing her mother's gaze, Yue Bai confronted her without hesitation. Only then did Mei Jing slowly walk into the hall.
"I know you won't let your mother down. I'll give you a chance now." Mei Jing took out an elegant dagger inlaid with gems. It didn't look like a murder weapon, but more like a girl's plaything. She handed it to Yue Bai, "The Life and Death Gu covets his heart. Why don't you give me his heart to prove yourself?"
"Mother Queen!" Yue Bai exclaimed in disbelief, "You and I both know that a living body is needed to lure out the Life and Death Gu, so why do you still want to do this?"
"You don't want to kill him? Is it because you can't bear to do so?" Mei Jing seemed to be still struggling with Yue Bai's emotional issues. "Have I ever taught you not to be tempted? The most reliable thing in this world is power, and it is power in your own hands. If you give me his heart now, you will still be our princess."
Yuebai knelt down and took the dagger: "As you wish."
The woman's beautiful and slender fingers clenched the dagger and slowly pulled it out. Silver cold light poured out, leaving a trace of fragility on her beautiful face.
Qi Shu didn't move, just watched Yue Bai's actions: "You want to kill me?"
Yuebai pushed the dagger into his chest inch by inch, and blood-colored flowers bloomed in his heart. Qi Shu's beautiful dark eyes were covered with a layer of mist, as if full of resentment and tears.
"Alright." Mei Jing seemed to have had enough of the fun, and finally waved her hand to interrupt Yue Bai's actions, "The Great Witch is still useful now and cannot die, but your mother has seen your feelings and will no longer doubt you."
Then he turned around and ordered, "Take this remnant of Southern Xinjiang to the dungeon and lock him up, and send Her Highness back to rest."
Yuebai didn't know how she got out of Ganlu Palace. She was supported by someone and looked back. She saw Qi Shu who was being taken to the dungeon. Qi Shu just looked at her with blood on the corner of his lips and sad eyes as if he was an abandoned puppy.
But this is the only way they can protect each other. To her, this palace is nothing more than a cage. Now they are all trapped in it. She also has to save the people of southern Xinjiang so she cannot give up.
