Spirit of the Phoenix: 133. Begging to die

As the autumn moon rises, Tai'an, the former ghost princess, looks extraordinarily charming under the moonlight. Pei Xianzhi looked at her straight, hesitating, but he knew it very clearly in his heart.

Success or failure depends on one action, and death and life are just a thought. His current decision is related to whether he will become a great success overnight from the dragon's achievements, or whether he will fail and become the soul of the whole family.

At this time, Pei County is just a fourth-rank official in his thirties. He is in charge of offering sacrifices to the imperial tomb in the Ministry of Rites. He is neither a close minister of the emperor nor has he held important power. In doing things, do not seek meritorious deeds but seek no faults.

Who would have thought that a good intention ten years ago would encounter such a major event concerning Guozuo, and end up in a dilemma now?

Ten years later, he wanted to make progress, and by chance, he showed his hospitality to His Royal Highness, but it aroused Li Yanxiu's suspicion and vigilance.

If you say you have no grievances at all, you are really deceiving yourself.

Being an official is like being reincarnated, choosing a wise king and choosing a right one. He bets again and again and loses, but is forced to a dead end again and again.

Pei Xianzhi gritted his teeth, feeling ruthless. Up to now, Li Yanxiu will not let him go no matter what.

If the Pei family wanted to survive, they had to leave the city overnight before dawn. But the world is vast, and where will he go with his family and his family?

Since they are all desperate to leave the city... Isn't Xianyang, where King Ding is located, the perfect place for him to go?

Pei County is still a young man, still carrying the arrogance left over from the two Jinshi in the two lists many years ago, and he has the momentum of breaking the boat and never looking back.

The life and death of wealth and wealth, the path to choose has long been involuntary.

He raised his eyes and looked at Tai'an.

The hatred and determination in her eyes were so vividly displayed, and he saw the tacit understanding of each other's achievements in her eyes.

Pei Xianzhi took a deep breath and asked the last sentence: "Princess, will the son-in-law really die tomorrow night?"

He used the word "son-in-law" in order to arouse her old love.

After all, Tai'an and Li Yanxiu have been in love for more than ten years as childhood sweethearts, and the former son-in-law, who has held military power for half his life, is also deeply in love with the subjugated princess who has been dead for ten years.

The last doubt in Pei County is still worrying about whether the once naive and ignorant princess can abandon her old love and kill her.

Tai'an turned around gently, her long eyelashes cast a shadow, covering her eyes.

"The Li family... will definitely die. My family and country are in the world, Mr. Pei, don't forget that I will always be Dayan's princess."

The sky is gradually darkening, and Tai'an is like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, floating high in the air.

She watched Pei Xianzhi get on his horse for a moment, and the thin and handsome back gradually faded away in her sight.

The originally clearly visible moonlight became more and more blurred, and was covered by dark clouds overflowing with thick ink floating in the gray-black sky.

There was a rumble of thunder in the distance, and the rain of early autumn came suddenly.

Tai'an, however, gritted her teeth and walked forward in the increasingly heavy raindrops, until the four gold characters "Majestic Land" on the north mountain gate of Xingshan Temple were faintly visible, and she did not turn until her blurred eyes vaguely saw the Vajra Archway in the Temple of Heavenly Kings. He leaned over and stopped.

Before the finale, she still has unfinished business to be resolved.

The temple in the rainy night was exceptionally peaceful. She followed the main hall and walked backwards little by little, passing through the shady and moon-covered Berlin, facing the wisteria flowers falling in the rainy night, and stepping into the austere hall step by step.

The Xingshan Temple in the rain was completely dark, but Taian pushed open the door of the Dharma hall with a squeak, and in the deep darkness, saw the little candles enshrined in front of the Buddha, swaying and floating in the night wind, as if calling her going.

Where is it?

Tai'an's heart was pounding, and he was even more nervous than when he went to see Pei County just now.

In front of the Buddhas hiding in the dark, there are old and new wooden plaques enshrined, with various names written on them, each of which entrusts the lovesickness and nostalgia of the deceased.

She jumped onto the desk, brushed the candlelight with her fingertips, felt a faint burning pain, but felt a little relieved in her heart.

With her eyes fixed on, she walked along the wooden sign little by little, but finally found the purpose of her trip in the westernmost corner.

"Here..." Tai comforted the wooden tablet with her name written on it, "My tablet is here."

She turned sideways, her eyes were as gentle as water, but she passed her tablet and walked to another smaller wooden tablet.

"And your tablet is here."

Aman. She silently recited his name, the fragmented memories in her mind, but she couldn't piece together his appearance before he died.

"Is it ironic?" There were tears in her eyes, "I was awakened by the blood of my enemy, and my soul relied on him to exist. What I remember and what I don't remember, I'm afraid it's all up to him, and I can't help it. I I failed to recall the tragedy of my own death, and even forgot how you sacrificed for me. I am sorry for you, Ah Man. A master-servant, but I can’t even protect your corpse..."

Tai'an touched the faint ink stains on the wooden sign, and looked back at the big Buddha in the darkness.

She couldn't see the Buddha's expression clearly, but she also knew that the giant statue with benevolent eyebrows comforted all the grievances in the hearts of the world.

Unable to calm down, she stretched out her arms and placed Ah Man's tablet with her own, and knelt down firmly.

"The emperor is above, and the land below is below. Princess Lu Shi Tai'an of Zhenguo made her long-cherished wish in front of the Buddha today." She said in a calm voice without a trace of waves, "One wish, father and son of the Li family The four of them will be executed tomorrow night, but I can kill my enemies and return Lu Yanjiang to the Lord."

"Secondly, I would like to reincarnate the old servants of the East Palace and Qingliang Palace who are implicated by me, so that the next life will be safe and smooth without any suffering." She paused for a while and said softly, "If possible, I would like to meet Ah Man again. In this life Those who owe him, I want to make up for him one by one in the next life."

The sound of the rain was getting louder and louder, and her small voice was drowned in the night rain and the ringing bells.

Tai'an fell to the ground deeply, her choked voice revealed the last trace of her fragility: "Before the age of sixteen, Tai'an lived innocently and carefree. Yanjiang Mountain, Taian cannot escape the blame."

"When I wake up now, I know how hard it is to be in the royal family. Tai'an is... so hard, so hard." Pity, I would like to forget all the past and seek to reincarnate once more...to do that Tai'an again where everything is worry-free, innocent and ignorant, only remembering the love between father and brother, doting on lovers, and no hatred or resentment anymore."

The best moments of her life stay before she dies. Dreaming back at midnight, I don’t know how many times I have hoped that everything is just a particularly realistic nightmare.

But things backfired, she couldn't go back to the past, and forced herself to grow up bit by bit, putting on a mask that even she hated, and acting out disgusting dramas in front of her former lover and now her enemy.

I don't want to do this, I don't want to do this, and I have to. She hated so anxiously that she tormented that love.

I only wish for an ending and forget all the love and hatred.

After tonight, he is more than just a person in Pei County who has the will to die.

The body like a scroll was torn off by Tai'an and rolled into a small stick of incense.

Accompanied by the rising white smoke, she lightly left the Dharma Hall of Xingshan Temple, and returned to the room where Li Yanxiu accompanied her every day.

As the sky gradually turned white, Taian curled up into a small ball and hid in front of the window.

When the familiar footsteps sounded again, she closed her eyes, turned her head slowly, and smiled brilliantly at the person in front of her. The innocent expression made people let go of all defenses and worries.

"Are you back?" She tilted her head, blinked her eyes, imitating how straightforward and frank she was before, "Did your brother bully you?"

Li Yanxiu looked at her steadfastly, stretched out his hand for a while, wrapped her in his arms, and said, "No...it's me tonight, I'm going to bully them."
