Crown of Silence

Chapter 770 I’m coming

In the drowsiness, there was a vague light.

There were drops of water falling on his face. Although he was so close, he couldn't see clearly the old face.

"Mommy, are you there?"

That familiar voice sounded again, so distant, weak and hoarse, "Are you...crying?"

"No, no, I...I am happy for the princess."

The old nun hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face, picked herself up and the child beside her, "Congratulations, Princess, it's a girl. Your two little highnesses are as beautiful as you were when you were a child."

"Where are they? Let me see them, Mammy... I can hardly see them."

The old grandma lowered her head and resisted the urge to choke:

"They, they are right in front of you."

A cold palm groped in the air and landed on his face. The movement was gentle, like a feather, tickling, and he chuckled.

"She smiled, didn't she, Mammy, and there was a baby crying... I hurt her."

"No, I was too rough and scared the princess. You see, she stopped crying when she knew her mother was here. She has a good understanding with you."

"That's right."

The familiar voice asked softly, "Can I hug them?"

A pair of hands picked her up, their movements were so gentle, as if they were holding a world treasure, their fuzzy cheeks came closer, with a gentle smile on their pale faces.

"A little naughty, and a little crybaby...Mom, this is my daughter, she is so cute."

She is smiling.

She smiled.

It's so good. Looking at that smile, it feels like I have gained the happiness of the whole world. But grandma lowered her head and couldn't help crying anymore.

"Mommy, don't cry. Did I do something wrong again?"

"No, there isn't."

Mammy said softly, "I just hope that the princess' health will be better, and that your mother and daughter will be safe, so that this life can last for a long time."

"Don't be sad, Mammy. A woman like me who is not so blessed will be very satisfied if I can see them being born."

The woman hugged them, pressed against their cheeks, and shared her weak heartbeat with them, "Look, they are so well-behaved, lively and cute."

"From one to two, the originally prepared names are no longer used." Nanny smiled reluctantly, "I have to trouble the princess to think about it again."

"'Tide Moon' and 'White Tide'."

She hugged the child and said softly, "How about calling them Chaoyue and Bai Xi?"

"Tide...?"

Grandma was stunned, and soon she smiled happily: "They are all good names. If sisters are of the same mind, they will be like one person."

She smiled.

"Chaoyue, Baixi, Chaoyue, Baixi..."

Her lips were slightly cold against their cheeks, and she closed her eyes in contentment.

——

"Mother……"

Bai Xi woke up from her dream, opened her eyes, and couldn't help but murmur softly.

Still didn't see her clearly.

Just a little bit...

The pain lingers in the head, and with the development of the bones and body, the pain caused by being born with a disability lingers in the fascia and blood bones.

Checking the alchemical matrix engraved in the flesh again, the slender fingers passed over the skin with a hint of chill, raising a layer of chicken skin in the cool air of late autumn.

Feeling the cold air coming from outside the gauze curtain, she hurriedly put on layers of clothes, but she felt that the clothes that were originally suitable were now a bit tight on her chest.

"How annoying."

She murmured softly, and then heard a deep voice outside the door.

"It seems like I had a good dream."

The door opened, and the cold and graceful empress walked into her boudoir, sizing her up, "I originally thought you would be too lazy to eat and drink here, but I didn't expect that you are in good condition and have gained two pounds.

Is the headache better? "

"Thanks to His Majesty's blessing, things have become more serious these days."

Bai Xi glanced at her with a cold expression, without any respect or caution in the past, which aroused the anger of many of the servants. The empress waved her hand to signal the others to leave, and she sat down opposite Bai Xi.

"In the whole palace, you are the only one who barely makes me like you because of your stubborn mouth."

"Is it?"

Bai Xi looked at her with mocking eyes, "Actually, I suddenly thought yesterday that I was thrown into the cold palace by His Majesty, right?"

"oh."

The empress raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at her increasingly beautiful face, her eyes became happy, "Does the Qing family really want my favor?

It's a pity that your legs are too long. If you were smaller, you might not be able to get my favor. "

"Isn't it right?"

Bai Xi got up from the bed, came forward, and looked at that graceful face almost wantonly, "According to my guess, Your Majesty shouldn't like me more than those sissies who control He Prison." A more manly type?”

Without any shyness or embarrassment, the empress just stretched out her hand, pressed her slender white fingers between her eyebrows, and pushed her back. Then, she lifted her chin, looked at her face, and sighed softly.

"It's a pity that a person like you who is so agreeable to me is born as a girl."

Bai Xi stepped forward, pressed against her palm, and looked at the face of the empress. Step by step, his eyes became happy: "Your Majesty, don't you know? Women and women can also..."

Snap!

A flash of lightning burst out from the empress's fingertips and slapped her forehead.

"Bai Xi, you have been imprisoned here for so many days, not only do you not reflect on your sins, but you seduce me to do something fake with you? Isn't it too presumptuous?

You are more talented than your cheap father in the way of flattering ministers..."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Bai Xi leaned lazily on the bed, looking at the emperor, with a mocking tone, "Your Majesty is always right."

"That's right."

The empress's expression was solemn, as if she was telling the truth.

Not only did she say that verbally, she had always done so.

More than a decade ago, she ascended the throne as a woman and was held hostage by Bai Heng as a puppet. People had already begun to talk about her. I don't know how many people scolded her behind her back.

But now, who doesn't know that the emperor is a wise ruler?

No one expected that the girl who was used as a puppet back then would have such terrible skills and ambitions. Relying on a bad hand, she swept away the accumulated malpractices of the court, took back the power of the emperor bit by bit, and cleaned up the mess made by the previous emperors, showing a great trend of revival.

Unfortunately, there is still Bai Heng, the dog thief, who is causing chaos in the court, stealing the power of the country and controlling the government. Otherwise, the sea and the river would have been peaceful and the world would have been peaceful.

"It's good to be right."

Bai Xi looked at her with a strange look in his eyes: "However, your majesty is really terrible if you are so right that even the censors will lose their jobs."

The empress said calmly, "If not, how can you defeat Bai Heng?"

"No, you are completely wrong."

Bai Xi sighed, "It's not because you are right that you can defeat Bai Heng, but because you are too right that you become Bai Heng's enemy... Although he never said anything, I can see that he hates a right emperor more than anyone else."

"All traitors think so, it's not surprising."

The emperor chuckled, and when he looked at Bai Xi, the playfulness of playing with toys disappeared, but with a hint of gloating: "But the strange thing is that the one who knows her best in the world is you, the abandoned child he threw into the fire pit.

And he wasted the chance he gave you to escape on others."

If it weren't for the riots a few days ago, no one would have thought that Bai Xi, who had become a prisoner, still had such a terrifying power.

In just three breaths, with unprecedented exquisite techniques, this 19-year-old girl bypassed all the musicians, directly bypassed the layers of authority, and mobilized all the power of the Great Wall with the matrix in her body.

Then, she wasted this power that was enough to get herself out on Asgard...

Unfortunately, there was only one chance.

The musicians who woke up from the shock repeatedly repaired the back door that Bai Xi used to call the Heavenly City, and never gave her any chance. They also blocked the matrix in her body, depriving her of all the power to resist.

Today, Bai Xi is not even as good as a little girl of the same age, let alone a musician.

Every move she makes has to endure the side effect of losing the suppression of the matrix - the pain of growth.

When the lock was unlocked, the frozen time seemed to start flowing again. From a slender girl, she grew a lot in just half a month, gradually approaching her age and posture.

"I'm really jealous. As a woman, I'm not immune to this."

The empress looked at Bai Xi, watching the curves gradually emerging under her skirt and the fair skin under the tulle at her neckline, and her eyes became regretful.

"You could have escaped. If you wanted to leave at that time, I might... not stop you."

"No way, I'm lazy."

Bai Xi lay on the bed, smiling happily, like a little fox: "I prefer someone to save me than to run away by myself, so that I can be free while lying down, how great is that?"

"It's too unrealistic for you to expect Bai Heng to save you."

"Someone will come."

Bai Xi smiled, her eyes firm: "A hero who is a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand times stronger than him."

"——He will come to save me."

——

At this moment, somewhere unknown.

Beyond the thick fog of the Great Wall, the Nomadic Mountains hovered in the sky thousands of miles above, and the clouds rolled, covering the earth and isolating Zhendan from the outside world.

If it weren't for the beacon's guidance, everyone might think that this was just an ordinary fog in the dark world, and it would be difficult to find the lock of Zhendan in the complex ether flow.

"It's here."

Ye Qingxuan looked down at the rolling sea of ​​clouds under his feet, which was the weakest part of the Great Wall blockade. "With the beacon's guidance, it should be much easier to break through from here."

"Then, I wish your highness a safe journey."

On the deck, Yegor and his party saw Ye Qingxuan off, "We will always wait for your call at sea."

"Thank you very much."

Ye Qingxuan turned over the side of the ship, stood in the sky, and waved to signal them to retreat further, further, until the Nomadic Mountain became an invisible dot in the distant sky.

This distance should be about the same.

He stretched out his hand, pulled out the New Testament from the void, held the hilt upside down, and aimed it at the fog below, and the shadow of the Great Wall behind the fog. Then, a broken and hot electric light lit up on the sword tip.

"Bai Xi, I'm coming."

He whispered softly.

At that moment, thunder fell from the sky!
