Quick Wear: She is the White Moonlight
Chapter 253: The Sacrifice of the Great Witch of Southern Xinjiang, White Moonlight (45)
Life is peaceful and tranquil in southern Xinjiang. Everyone is living in peace and harmony and preparing for the new year's spring festival.
The priest returned to the imperial city and told Mei Jing about Yue Bai's choice. Mei Jing spat out two words: "Idiot."
Yue Qun waved his hand to let the priest go first, and then said to Mei Jing: "Why can't you use gentler means? Do you have to force these two people into a desperate situation?"
Mei Jing raised her lips sarcastically and looked at the man in front of her. He was always high and mighty, and calm, except for the time he broke down after knowing the whereabouts of the Wahuang Flower. It seemed that he was always like this, strategizing and planning, and she was like a jumping clown. However, Mei Jing still retorted: "Your Majesty is old now, and he has become soft-hearted.
What I did today is not even one tenth of what you have done before. Why are you blaming me today?"
"Many years ago, it was because Southern Xinjiang was not united, and you shared power with the Great Witch. Didn't you know it in your heart? Today, Yuebai can obviously control Southern Xinjiang through the Great Witch, so why do you push her out?" Yue Qun asked.
Mei Jing looked out the window, her tone becoming depressed: "I want to see if there is true love in this world."
Yue Qun was helpless when he saw Mei Jing was still stubborn. He did not feel that he had done anything wrong to Mei Jing. He had truly loved Mei Jing once. Otherwise, with his status at that time, he would never have risked taking a woman from southern Xinjiang into his harem.
But after he ascended the throne, there were some things that were beyond his control, and slowly his ambitions began to grow. After falling from a high position over the years, he regained some of his original intentions, and he would feel guilty when he saw the crazy Mei Jing, but times have changed after all.
“What do you think if I add fuel to the fire and see the once high and mighty witch fall from the altar?” Mei Jing looked out the window with an increasingly crazy look on her face. “In the beginning, he ordered my arrest, saying that I had defected from Southern Xinjiang. In the end, he still has to risk his life for a traitor’s daughter like me. Hahahahahaha, hahahahaha, don’t you think this is funny or not, hahaha…”
"But she is also our daughter." Yue Qun advised.
Mei Jing knocked the teacup off the table, and it fell to the ground and broke into pieces, making a crisp sound.
"Yuebai will understand. Sooner or later, she will realize that nothing is more important than the power in her hands. I didn't understand it before, but now I know it very clearly."
Yue Qun didn't want to argue with Mei Jing, so he didn't say anything else. The hall fell into silence for a moment, and the palace servants serving nearby were even more silent.
Mei Jing felt bored, so she picked up the desk and continued reading.
The time in spring seems to be particularly gentle.
When Yuebai gradually smelled the fragrance of flowers, she met Qi Shu again. They had not seen each other for more than a month. It was not because Qi Shu was unwilling to see her, but because the village had suffered some unexpected disasters and was in ruins. Qi Shu still needed to make some decisions.
In addition, Yuebai was not used to relying on hearing and spiritual sense to pretend that he was not blind, so he kept refusing Qi Shu to approach him. Finally, after more than a month, Qi Shu had built the tree house.
Just happened to take Yuebai to have a look, and thought that she would be rejected again, but Yuebai actually opened the door from the inside and said to Qi Shu: "It's spring today, come with me for a walk."
Qi Shu smiled and took Yue Bai's hand: "That's what I really want, but I dare not ask for it."
The two of them strolled in the village and crossed the suspension bridge that they had walked on countless times. Yuebai smelled the fragrance of flowers in the wind and always followed the sound of Qi Shu's voice to identify his location.
For a moment, it was done perfectly. Then Qi Shu brought Yuebai to the tree house. Sui Yin and several girls wearing wind chime hairpins surrounded them and welcomed them into the tree house.
“This is the swing you wanted, we hung it on the tree house for you.
There is also a piece on top for you to use to dry herbs.
At the top is a lounge chair, where you can lie down later to see fireflies and stars.”
The girls chattered as they hugged Yuebai. Finally, Suiyin stepped forward and said, "When we first met, I told you that after a woman reaches adulthood, her family would prepare a tree house for her. You told me at that time that you had no family. Now we are your family. We built this tree house together with the Great Witch. I hope you like it."
Even though he couldn't see Yuebai, he could feel their sincerity, nodded and said, "I like it very much. Thank you, and thank you Ah Shu."
Qi Shu looked at Yue Bai's smiling eyes, took her to every corner of the tree house, pointed to the bamboo forest behind the tree house and said, "I transplanted the bamboo forest where we first met here. Every time the wind blows through the bamboo forest, the rustling sound reminds me of you."
After saying that, he lowered his head and added in a low voice beside Yuebai's ear: "I hope to see and hear every rain and every gust of wind with you in this tree house."
Yuebai had never known Qi Shu, who was so shameless when talking about love. Qi Shu seemed to think that it was not enough, and helped Yuebai to sit on the swing.
It is precisely because of those ups and downs that he knows how hard it is to have these peaceful days now. Qi Shu suppressed the fishy sweetness in his throat and just wanted time to slow down at this moment. He wanted to see Yue Bai just one more look, just one more look.
But he couldn't do it after all, and his consciousness faded away again, falling into darkness. Then Qi Xun took over the body. In fact, the situation of both of them was not optimistic, because due to the delay, the deadline for a heart transplant had long expired, but no one mentioned it, or no one wanted to mention it.
Qi Xun looked at Yuebai swinging on the swing. Yuebai seemed to have not noticed that they had changed people. He kept talking to himself, but he didn't hear a response from the person next to him for a long time: "Ashu! Ashu? Are you listening to me?"
"Yes, I'm here." Qi Xun replied.
Yuebai didn't seem to notice anything unusual and continued, "Where was I just now? Tell me about the last time Sui Yin..."
The woman was chattering on and on about mundane trivia, while the man was listening quietly. The wind blew through the bamboo forest, making a rustling sound. It was unknown whether it was someone's longing or someone's unfulfilled desire.
The sun gradually set in the west, and Sui Yin and the others said goodbye amid the curling smoke from the lively kitchens of every household.
Qi Xun helped Yuebai down from the swing, then held Yuebai's hand, sent her back to her residence and then said goodbye.
He wondered why Yuebai didn't tell the two of them apart this time, but he also had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
In the following days, they had to prepare for the new year's spring festival. Qi Xun didn't have much time to look for Yuebai again, so he asked Suiyin and the others to spend more time with Yuebai.
That day they went to Yuebai's room, thinking of dressing Yuebai up a little to welcome the upcoming Spring Festival. The group pushed Yuebai in front of the dressing table without saying a word.
"I always feel that you haven't been in the mood to wash up recently, which is a waste of such a beautiful face. Let us help you." A group of girls giggled and started making gestures on Yuebai's face.
It was not until they started to pickle the rouge that Sui Yin saw a box that looked unlike the rouge they usually used. The white porcelain rouge box seemed to be the small box used by witches to store poisonous insects.
Sui Yin picked it up and asked, "Yuebai, the color of your rouge is unique. Where did you get it from?"
"Rouge?" Yuebai thought about it. She hadn't used rouge for a long time and she had recently gone blind. How could she remember any special color of rouge? She was stunned for a moment.
The others thought Yuebai was in a daze. After all, ever since she sat next to the dressing table, Yuebai's eyes had been empty, and she didn't look at any of them. In the past, when they were chatting together, Yuebai would look at whoever was speaking.
The first one to notice something was wrong was Suiyin. She winked at the others, and the sisters left one after another. Suiyin put the small box in Yuebai's palm.
Yuebai felt the touch on her hand and realized that they were holding the box of rouge that Qi Xun had given her. She seemed to have never used it before, so naturally she didn't know what color it was. But how could she explain it now?
"Yuebai, I feel like you've been acting weird lately." Suiyin stared at Yuebai, not wanting to miss any of her expressions.
