Chen Nian opened the gate of Jinxiu Palace openly and openly.
There are a large number of soldiers surrounding him, but they dare not get close. Even the four masters, General White Tiger, have been defeated. Who can stop him?
"It's you..."
Seeing the true face of this "intruder", Xiao He was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
She never imagined that Chen Nian would be so powerful, so powerful that he could break into the palace alone!
At this moment, Xiao He has changed a lot. She was just an ordinary civilian girl. She wears gorgeous palace clothes, and her temperament has risen by more than one level.
"Follow me, I'll take you out of here."
What Xiao He never expected was that he and Chen Nian just met by chance, and his purpose of venturing into the palace was actually to save himself!
I was suddenly moved to the point where my eyes were sparkling and my nose was sore.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I can't leave..."
"Maybe the princess is kind to you, but it's not worth repaying with your life!"
"I understand all this... but, but you have all misunderstood the princess. In fact, she..."
Before Xiao He finished speaking, a figure suddenly stepped in from outside.
The long skirt touches the ground, and the beauty is fairy-like.
With her slender eyebrows and bright eyes like water, the first glance at her is unforgettable.
This is a real princess!
I don't know how many times better than those princesses in costume dramas, both in temperament and appearance.
"Wouldn't this princess be more useful than her if she were alive?"
Gu Qingyue interrupted Xiao He with a faint smile on her lips.
"The value of human life should not be judged by status. Everyone is alive for the first time." Chen Nian said in a deep voice.
"You came to save her, but you know that the door of the palace has never been closed. She can come and go freely. If she wanted to leave, she would have left long ago."
The guards coming from behind immediately reminded her that "the princess is in danger", but she turned a blind eye and walked quietly into the palace and came to Chen Nian.
"You really don't want to leave?" Chen Nian asked again.
"No... I can't leave... I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Xiaohe's eyes were filled with tears. There were some things she really wanted to say, but she couldn't.
If you tell me, it will be a waste of the princess's hard work.
Go back a few days ago.
When she first entered the palace and met the princess, she was actually very scared inside. Who can be completely unafraid of death?
When they first met, Gu Qingyue asked Xiaohe a question.
"Are you really willing to die for me?"
"I... will. A princess is much more useful alive than a common girl..."
"Okay, I am very pleased that you have such broad-mindedness and kindness. From now on, I want you to learn court etiquette, learn the ways of governance, and learn how to establish a heart for the world and a destiny for the people!"
"Princess, why do I... why do I need to learn these things?" Xiao He was puzzled.
Gu Qingyue took a deep breath, her deep eyes seemed to be filled with stars, without any impurities.
"Because after I die, you will be the next princess."
"Ah... Princess, you..."
Gu Qingyue smiled, "You are willing to sacrifice for others. With such qualities, why can't you worry about becoming a better princess?"
"No, I can't do it. Xiao He is just a useless folk girl, how could she be like this!"
"On the day of sacrifice, I will put on your clothes and veil to see what the mountain god is like. You will take my token and suicide note and live well."
After hearing these words, Xiaohe burst into tears on the spot.
"But, princess, aren't you still looking for the person holding the luminous pearl?"
"If there is fate, then even if I only live for a few days, I will definitely be able to see him. If there is no fate, even if I live for another ten years, I will not be able to see him."
Gu Qingyue looked at Xiaohe and said seriously, "This matter must be kept secret and must not be told to anyone."
So, Xiao He wanted to say it, but couldn't.
Regardless of whether she leaves or stays, the princess will die in the end, but if she stays, she can still help the princess realize her wish.
Of course, Chen Nian is completely ignorant of these things.
"If I guess correctly, you should be a foreigner. As a foreigner, if you break into the palace with brute force and injure the guards, do you know that this is a capital offense?"
"Princess, do you think anyone can punish me?" Chen Nian asked.
"Blue Dragon, White Tiger, Suzaku Xuanwu, these are the four masters in our imperial city. They have set up the Four Saints Formation around Jinxiu Palace. Do you think you can escape?"
"Actually, I don't need to run, because I am the person the princess is looking for."
"What did you say?!"
Gu Qingyue's face showed confusion. When she saw Chen Nian take out the bright night pearl, all the confusion on her face turned into shock, and even her pupils couldn't help but tremble.
"You... are the one holding the eternal luminous pearl..." she asked in a trembling voice.
"Yes."
Chen Nian didn't want to fight to the death with these people, so he took out his final trump card. "Although I don't know the purpose of the princess, I only have one request. Xiaohe cannot die, she is my friend."
"Then you... do you really want me to die?"
Gu Qingyue's delicate body trembled and she blinked her eyes quickly, not wanting to cry in front of outsiders.
The man in front of her is her destined husband, the man she has been waiting for for three years, and the innovator destined to change the rules of the world!
But the first thing he did when he showed up was to save other women and let himself die.
This result is both hilarious and sad.
Chen Nian also didn't expect why the princess would suddenly ask such a question, but she actually sensed a sense of grievance from it.
"No... it's just that Xiao He helped me, and the princess and I have never met."
Gu Qingyue pursed her lips hard, raised her head and looked at the ceiling, and then relied on gravity to swallow back her tears.
"Okay... Okay... I promise you."
"Seven days later, this princess will be a sacrifice to the mountain god as you wish."
Chen Nian:...
"But you have to agree to three conditions."
"What conditions?"
"Follow me."
Gu Qingyue came outside, dismissed all the soldiers who were on guard, and took Chen Nian to the pavilion next to the lotus pond.
She sat across from the stone table and asked Chen Nian to sit down as well.
"Now we can say it, under what conditions?"
"If you just have the mentality of completing the task, you will not be able to fulfill my conditions."
"Just say it." Chen Nian believes that with his own ability, there is nothing he can't do.
"The first condition is that I want you to be my lover."
"?"
Chen Nian is confused.
What the hell kind of condition is this?
You only have a few days left to live, and you still want to fall in love with me?
And even if I am a little bit handsome, you, the princess, won't fall in love at first sight, right?
After Gu Qingyue finished speaking, she probably felt a little shy herself, and her eyes drifted towards the lotus pond.
"Let's talk about the last two conditions first."
