Chapter 172: Xuan Tianhua, what are you doing here? Where is
s broken, so from now on we should go our separate ways." 。No, we can't just walk away. We still have to go find him and get revenge. We absolutely cannot let him off easy. 。Every time Zhu'er mention...When the earth dragon rolled over, Quan Qing was sitting in the house drinking tea. His years as a hostage had made him extremely vigilant, so he immediately rushed out the moment he sensed the slightest tremor, grabbing a servant who was arranging books inside along the way. 。As soon as he stepped out of the house, it collapsed. The second earthquake followed immediately, robbing him of his palace and leaving not a single tile standing of the long-abandoned mansion. 。The first thing Quan Qing did after drawing the house was run to the guest courtyard because Feng Zhaolian lived there. 。He sincerely prayed that Feng Zhaolian would be in the courtyard when the earth dragon turned over, otherwise, with a house collapsing, what consequences would befall a girl who only knew how to practice flower punches and embroidered legs 。It's just one envoy dead, after all, the Emperor himself made the move. The Kingdom of Guiyue wouldn't suffer much from this anyway. 。If Zhao Lian were to die in his own Dust King's Mansion, he wouldn't be able to explain himself to the Returning Moon Princess and her consort. 。The princess's only daughter was said to have been born after her mother, the former Crown Princess, had carried her for a full thirteen months. Her prolonged pregnancy caused great concern to both her father-in-law and the Guiyue royal family. 。Finally, she was due to give birth, but unfortunately, she experienced postpartum hemorrhage during labor. While she was saved, she lost her ability to have children again. 。For this reason, the princess had repeatedly proposed to her son-in-law taking a concubine, but he refused every time. 。The groom and the princess were deeply in love, even letting their daughter, who was hard-won after facing near-death experiences, to take her mother's surname. 。After that, because her husband's surname was Lian, she was given the title of Zhaolian. 。The late Emperor highly loved the Princess, and seeing such a good relationship between the couple, the old emperor was very pleased. He generously bestowed upon the son-in-law the title of an honorary prince from another family. 。So in the country of Guiyue, some people call the son-in-law "son-in-law," while others call him "Prince." 。Feng Zhaolian grew up in endless pampering. If such a county princess were to have an accident in Beiji, that skilled equestrian and archer of a son-in-law would probably rebel just to lead his troops north and fight Beiji to the death. 。From the Duke of Dust's study to the guest courtyard, Quan Qinghua truly prayed all the way. But the affairs of the world are just like this, the more you fear something, the more it comes - the guest courtyard collapsed entirely, even the trees fell down. 。 Quan Qing painted a deep breath, listening to a servant standing in front of the ruins loudly shouting: "Your Highness, Your Highness, where are you Are you alright Your Highness, if you can still speak, just make a sound, and I will save you!" Unfortunately, no one answered him. 。Then Qinghua rushed forward, grabbing the servant and asking, "Where is the county lord" The servant pointed to the ruins before them. "She was in the main house. When the earthquake struck, the county lord was still asleep and was buried inside directly." 。"
Quan Qinghua was so angry that her face turned green! It's already late at night, and the woman is still sleeping! Why can't she get up and stand in the courtyard If she had just slept a little less, she wouldn't have been directly crushed under the house!
Even though she was angry, Quan Qinghua had to save people. She carefully walked into the ruins, taking each step with extreme caution for fear of stepping on a shaky brick or beam and causing further harm to the person underneath. " 。“Feng Zhaolian!” he called out her name, after ten years of knowing each other, calling this name had never felt like this before 。A sudden, unfamiliar panic seized him at that moment, so intense that he stumbled several steps. 。The servant standing outside the ruins: "Your Highness, please come out. Let me go in and look for people." 。“ Don’t come in,” said Quan Qinghua, “No one knows which bricks or tiles might be unstable. One wrong step could be disastrous.” 。Even the servants knew this was a big deal, and they knew the identity of the person being pressed. 。A major disaster is a major disaster. Once an accident occurs, it will lead to negotiations between Beichai and Guiyue, or even war. 。So he no longer made demands, only stood outside waiting to be summoned. 。Quan Qing searched for the bed according to its direction in the ruins, and finally found a faint red under a piece of blue brick. 。His manor had never seen such vibrant colors before, only Feng Zhaolian liked to wear such eye-catching and attention-grabbing attire. 。He immediately went over with compassion and moved the bricks, but a beam had pressed down on Feng Zhaolian's back. The sight made his heart ache. 。"Feng Zhaolian" 。He opened his mouth again and called her name, "Feng Zhaolian, how are you" There was no response to his question, but the hand that was being held down moved slightly, as if it were searching for something. 。He moved forward a little, his hand touched his sleeve, and it was grasped tightly. 。He looked down and saw this hand gripping his sleeve tightly, with such force that the joints were turning white. 。I couldn't help but sigh, "You have to let go first. I need to save you. Holding onto my sleeve like that won't help." 。The person who grabbed him wouldn't listen, and his hands still wouldn't let go. 。He then remembered that when the banquet hall collapsed last night, Feng Zhaolian had also been clinging to him like this, unable to let go. As soon as he let go, she would disappear, and left alone in Beizhou, no one could look after her. 。They have known each other for ten years. She knows him too well. 。Yes, letting go means walking away. But if it hadn't been a disaster, and last night hadn't involved the collapse of the banquet hall, then even if Feng Zhaolian hadn't let go, he would have still left. 。Over these years of being a proton, I haven't learned much else, but I have learned how to detach from the crowd and how to be alone. 。He wasn't always like this, you know. He once had a smile as brilliant as Quan Qingcheng's, and was once described as the sunshine boy of Bei Qi's Fourth Prince. Just seeing him would be like seeing the sun itself, making people feel happy and hopeful. 。Unfortunately, these years have been overcast, and the sunshine has ultimately been blocked. 。"Let go of me, I won't leave" 。He took a deep breath, no longer dwelling on the past, and softened his voice to speak with Feng Zhaolian, “I truly won't leave. Trust me once, just once.” 。“
Feng Zhaolian still didn't let go, or perhaps it was a kind of obsession, an unconscious act.
” 。 Quan Qing's painting had no choice, "How much don't you trust me ... Fine" 。He turned his hand over and took hers, then with his other hand he lifted the ceiling beam, pried open the bricks and tiles, and after much effort finally pulled out all of Feng Zhaolian. 。
"Get up"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!。He spread his arms to help her up. The person below, dazed and half-opened their eyes, sat up with his strength. Feng Zhaolian had a wound on her head, blood flowed down her face, and also into her eyes. 。Within my sight was a crimson expanse. Even looking at the person before me felt blurry, as if I were in a daze. 。She stared at him for what felt like an eternity, then suddenly called out, "Xuán Huá" He was startled. Xuán Huá Who was that However, she insisted on speaking to him. "Xuán Huá, how did you end up here Where is Ahéng What's wrong with me What happened Why are you here to save me" As she spoke, she turned her head around, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings. "Where is this place" She finished her sentence and her voice suddenly rose in urgency, shouting——"Yún Xiāo! Where did you go, Yún Xiāo"No one answered her. None of the names she mentioned received a reply. Only Quán Qīng Huà used his sleeve to wipe away the blood from her eyes while asking, "Fēng Zhāo Lián, do you recognize me" She wanted to say she didn't know him, but as the blood covering her eyes was wiped away, her vision began to clear... 。Looking closely at the person in front of me, my mind suddenly went blank, and tears welled up in my eyes. 。He thought she was hurt and hurriedly asked, "Where are you hurt Tell me first where you're hurt!" He then reached out to touch her head, but his hand met blood. 。"Go find a doctor!" Quan Qinghua instructed the servant standing at a distance, "Or go directly to the palace and ask for an imperial physician. It's Yue Junzhu who was injured, please send an imperial physician immediately to treat her!"
Feng Zhaolian pulled his hand away from her head, using a weak and powerless voice: “No need, the doctor here can’t cure my illness" 。It was actually I who should be thanking this journey for turning things around, because it made me remember many things I had forgotten before. It also finally brought those events out of my dreams and into reality. 。This reality is a bit too much for me to handle. I need to think carefully about how I'm going to live my life from now on. What am I supposed to do 。Is your old man too cruel After I finally forgot everything and managed to cut off a miserable life, he just had to give me another one. 。Should I be thanking it or scolding it for meddling I haven't had enough sleep, how come I woke up already" Quan Qinghua truly believed she had smashed her brain, but at the same time, he felt that this Zhao Lian County Princess, at this moment, was clearer than ever before. 。But he was clueless, he didn't understand her words, including the few names she mentioned, he didn't know any of them. 。
"Feng Zhaolian" 。He asked her, “Do you know who I am”
Fēng Zhāo Lián nodded, “I do. You are Quán Qīng Huà, the hostage sent by Northern Qi to Guiyue.” 。We've been playing together since we were young. I was the talkative one, and you were the quiet one. I thought you were boring, and you thought I was annoying. 。" What did I just call you" "What did I call you" She was silent for a moment, then laughed softly: “I got blood in my eyes, didn't see clearly just now, thought you were him…" 。It's a shame, it's not. Although there are some similarities, it will never truly be the same. 。She wanted to stand up, but as soon as she moved, she felt a little dizzy, so she switched back to her usual tone and said to him: "Quan Qinghua, carry me on your back, I have no strength" 。At least I was injured at your Chén Wangfu, you have the responsibility to take care of me. 。I tell you, I am the Princess of Guiyue, not a pesky envoy! If anything happens to me, my father and mother will not let you off easy. 。He let out a breath, though the girl's words were still as unpleasant as ever, she had at least regained some of her former Zhaolian County Lady's demeanor. 。Then he helped the person up, and bent down himself so that she could lean on his back. 。She was completely drained, her head slumped against his shoulder, her eyes half-closed. 。She desperately wished to simply fall asleep like that, but the overwhelming memories wouldn't let her go. 。She remembered that before she died in her previous life, she had heard that Ah Heng and Xuan Hua were both dead. She also remembered Yun Xiao using his own body to protect her, hoping that she could continue living. 。But in the end, she still let down Yun Xiao's life, just wondering if after her death, that person named Tian Ping sent her and Yun Xiao's bodies to Xuan Ming...man, I don't care." 。"Listen to me, you'll survive only if you live well with me. Otherwise, we both will go down together!" Nightingale emerged from the Hua Yu courtyard with cold sweat dripping fr...
