sin of nature

Chapter 23: A Lonely Bravery

Early that summer, the queen's second child was born—a princess.

When the princess was born, she held a jasmine plant in her hand, which was still fresh and fragrant.Everyone in the court was pleasantly surprised, and they all praised the princess as representing auspiciousness and a treasure bestowed by heaven.

She has never been short of people around her, and she always embraces her wherever she goes.But no matter where she went, she could find that, within reach of her eyes, there was a tall and straight young man with delicate features and delicate features.She asked the people around her, who is that and why is she standing there all the time?But who are you waiting for?

The people around were shocked and said, there is no one, the princess must be dazzled.

How could it be?Don't you see him standing on the porch, looking at us?

News that the princess could see things she shouldn't have quickly spread throughout the palace.

The Holy Majesty invited a large number of Taoist priests to exorcise gods and demons for her, and told her not to be afraid. After these Taoist priests performed rituals, she would no longer see those terrible things.

But that person is not scary...why drive him away?

The little princess got up quietly at night, and quietly drank a handful of clean water placed in the middle of her bedroom.

This time, the legal affairs must not be done.

She was secretly happy, and a low voice came from beside her: "What are you doing?"

She was so scared that she almost spit out the water she drank.

She took a closer look and saw that it was the young man she had always seen, without any fear or discomfort in her heart, and only spoke as if she was familiar with him.

"This is the clean water brought by the Taoist priests during the day... It is used to drive away evil spirits."

"I know." The man lowered his eyes and looked at his waist-high child, his eyes were a little complicated: "But why did you drink it?"

The little princess replied earnestly: "It seems that because only I can see you in this world, he wants to make me invisible to you. It's really strange. What hinders them if I can see it alone? I want to see you." , What has it to do with them? Let others make the decision."

The man gave a low laugh, as if he found it interesting, and asked, "Do you know why only you can see me?"

"Why?"

"Because I just want you to see me."

The little princess seems to understand but not understand.

"In the future, don't tell people that you can see me, how about it? It's better than sneaking up in the middle of the night to drink the clean water used for rituals - this water is not clean at all." As soon as the words finished, she stretched out two fingers , lightly pressed against her throat.

The little princess felt uncomfortable for a while, and the next moment, she vomited out all the water she had just drank.

The man was about to leave, but the little princess grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"Can I see you tomorrow?"

He nodded and left quietly.

That was the first conversation between the princess and him.

She had just turned eight at the time, and he had been dead for thirteen years.

At the age of nine, she made a marriage agreement with the prince of Qingyue.

She quietly asked him, "Marriage, what's the matter?"

He stayed by the princess's side all day, and he had to deal with her many weird problems, but he didn't feel bored.

"It is the two people who decide to be together forever, live together and sleep together in the same bed."

"But recently I heard some sisters say that when I grow up, I need to marry someone from Qingyue. Did they lie to me?"

"How can I lie to you?"

"Didn't you just say that getting married is a matter of two people's decision?"

"It did."

"But no one has asked me what I mean about this matter, isn't it a mistake?"

"But what if your father made the decision for you?"

"But it's not my father who got married."

He smiled and said, "You are indeed right."

"That's right——" she nodded, and said very solemnly: "Life is a very important thing, who you want to live with, but you can't be sloppy at all—I want to decide for myself."

He teased her with a smile: "how can you decide?"

The little princess turned away angrily, and said, "If you can't decide now, you will be able to when you grow up!"

The person next to him laughed so hard that his body twitched, which aroused her dissatisfaction.

He reached out and poked her bulging cheek, but with a stern look on his face, he said, "Don't worry, I won't let you marry that Highness who is thousands of miles away."

For a long time, the princess thought that it was the sincerity that he had unintentionally revealed during his long company.

But it was not until ten years later that she finally understood the true meaning of his words.

Sometimes, he is not as patient as usual, and becomes very unreasonable, and his words and actions are all irritated.

He asked her, "Why aren't you like him?"

"Not like who?"

"there is no one."

"I don't want to be like anyone. If everything in the world looks the same, how good is it?"

"You sound like a saint."

"What is a saint?"

"It is the person who teaches people how to speak and do things."

"Then I don't want to be a saint."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"This is my secret."

His company is always there.

As the princess grew up slowly, she gradually realized that the person in that person's eyes was never her.

Those watching from afar have never been a tacit understanding or a soft spot - it has always been for his obsession.

She quietly followed him to the land boundary, where she discovered his secret.

She asked him, "Shen Xin, who is Wu Yuan?".

"You knew already?"

"I am his reincarnation, that's why you want to stay by my side? Afraid that my three souls and seven souls will be damaged, so you don't land by my side for a moment, is it because you are afraid that I will be damaged, and then you will not be able to bring him back to life?"

"That's right".

"Then take it. If this is your long-standing wish, then take it—use my three souls and seven souls to reincarnate him."

So, she followed him to the realm, and faced each other day and night, waiting for Wu Yuan to find the elixir that would bring the soul back to the human body and revive him again.

At that time, her death will be exchanged for that person's rebirth.

She didn't complain about him, and she didn't do it for some high-sounding, tear-jerking reasons.

It's just that she wants to choose this once for herself, and everything else is just the consequences she has to bear for this choice. She is not afraid.

And the companionship during those long hours is real, no matter whether the other party cares or not.

She never said how important he was to her, nor did she mention that she didn't want to be a saint or the princess everyone loved.She just wanted to marry him, and the two of them would be together forever, forever.

But he said that getting married is a matter of two people.

Then don't force it.

In this world, there are thousands of things you can't ask for, but she is just a tiny one.

But if she can make Shen Xin get what she wants, it's not too bad.

She has also stayed in the land for more than half a year, and she is not boring with the company of heavy salary.There are even many organs set up at the various entrances in the boundary, as if to spend the rest of his life here.

Although she doesn't have to imagine and expect for the rest of her life.

Gradually, there was only one magic weapon left for the formation to revive Wu Yuan, and it was also the most difficult to find.

But everything is not far away.
