Chapter 66: The Resentment of the Previous Existence
Did Hua Qiyue mean that there was resentment between her and him?
But he really didn't have any relationships with Hua Qiyue, why did she frame him? And when Zhou Zhicheng realized it, he smiled sadly, "Princess Jinghua, I've never expected that you would come to see me, and now, I will die with satisfaction."
Hua Qiyue smiled disapprovingly, as light as a breeze, as cold as ice, "Zhou Zhicheng, don't you figure it out that things have been changing since the princess met with you through me? Of course, you will not watch out the woman you admire, but unfortunately, I want to tell you that…"
"I am… Rong Qiyue, there is an only one-word difference, but I am her." Hua Qiyue looked at Zhou Zhicheng coldly and she successfully found the shocked expression on his face.
"What are you talking about? Princess Jinghua, you really like joking!" Though he was a dying man, Zhou Zhicheng still didn't believe the theory that a person could be haunted by a ghostly spirit.
Hua Qiyue gently rolled up a wisp of black hair on her chest, which was the most frequent action that occurred when Zhou Zhicheng and she made out.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhicheng's facial expression changed a little.
The sex thing between men and women would of course not be told to others. But Rong Qiyue had totally nothing to do with Hua Qiyue before, why did Hua Qiyue act like this?
And even Rong Qiyue's close maidservant had no idea about it, how did Hua Qiyue know about it?
"Princess Jinghua… please… please don't be kidding me!" Zhou Zhicheng only felt that gooseflesh immediately went over his body. After all, it was he that acquiesced in the action that Princess Huizhen could kill Rong Qiyue.
Hua Qiyue smiled with her beautiful eyes flowing with shining light, "It doesn't matter you believe it or not. What matters is… I'm relieved when I see your situation. And Zhou Zhicheng, do you know who Miss Wang is?"
Zhou Zhicheng was suddenly bewildered. It was because of Wang Yu that Princess Huizhen would treat him so crazily. He was like a bird without freedom, and that was why it occurred to him to poison Princess Huizhen and to disfigure her.
After being disfigured, Princess Huizhen pushed him to marry her, and he started to decide to kill the princess.
However, Hua Qiyue should know that it was because of Wang Yu that he broke up with Princess Huizhen.
"You… who are you? What else do you know?"
Zhou Zhicheng looked at Hua Qiyue frightened, but Hua Qiyue still smiled gently, "You're now a dying man, and what are you afraid of?"
Hua Qiyue looked at Zhou Zhicheng up and down, slowly taking out a hairpin of a phoenix from her sleeve. The Phoenix, carved on the hairpin, had a pair of eyes that were made up of first-class white jade and shined with smooth and moist luster. And the tail of Phoenix was twined by wisps of thin golden wires which made it looked so distinctive.
Zhou Zhicheng was pop-eyed. It was the love gift that he sent to Rong Qiyue. And the hairpin of Phoenix had become the burial object after Rong Qiyue died. But now, it was owned by Hua Qiyue, how could it be possible?
Last time, the Emperor asked someone to open the coffin to search for the evident. If the coffin was opened, then it must have been known by the Emperor, and Princess Huizhen would have been found innocent. So, Hua Qiyue had such a hairpin of Phoenix without opening the coffin!
"Childe Zhou, do you remember this golden wired and jade eyed hairpin of phoenix? I asked others to make this according to the drawing. Of course, the drawing was painted on the basis of my memory… Oh, I forget to tell you that Wang Yu was appointed by Princess Huiling. And Princess Huiling is very clever and obtained some advice from me." Hua Qiyue smiled calmly and her beautiful eyes looked like a crescent, shining with cold light.
Somehow, Zhou Zhicheng only felt chilled all over his body and trembled to hold his shoulders, looking at Hua Qiyue in fright without a word.
Hua Qiyue sighed, "I'm very into this hairpin. Though the object is still there, the man has changed, what a pity! Zhou Zhicheng, you know, to be executed by five horses must be really hurt, right? It's the grieved hurt, it's the hurt, in-depth bone marrow…"
Zhou Zhicheng's face went pale and white, and he felt that his throat seemed to be blocked by cotton, "You… you instigated Princess Huiling to appoint Miss Wang to deal with me?"
"That kind of hurt was felt like when Rong Qiyue's eyes were gouged out, when she was disfigured… you will never be willing to remember it once you experience it. Zhou Zhicheng, take it easy, I'll take good care of Tianci, and he'll be lovely and attractive, just like when he was newborn." Hua Qiyue smiled, she calmly smiled to the turnkey who was striding towards her, and she walked away on light footsteps.
That turnkey intended to remind Hua Qiyue that it was time to leave, but he saw that she knew what to do, so, he stood aside, only to see Zhou Zhicheng was trembling in the cell with his face going pale and white. Zhou Zhicheng slowly knelt, and he cried hysterically, "Rong Qiyue!"
The turnkey coldly snorted, "Stop crying! She's dead, but can you make her alive?"
Hua Qiyue stopped, and a sound of Zhou Zhicheng's regretting screaming came from behind, "Qiyue, please forgive me… I'm still in love with you… after all, I'm Tianci's father… please find a way to get me out of here, I'll repay your kindness, I'll love you…"
Hua Qiyue's mouth lightly curved in a smile and she walked faster, only to hear that the snarl from behind was becoming vague.
There wouldn't be Rong Qiyue in the world anymore, but there would only be Hua Qiyue.
That miserable memory would become a diamond of the past which would remind her that she should never readily believe in others all the time. This experience would deposit in the river of her memory, and the light it shined was cold.
At the seventh day, Zhou Zhicheng was escorted to the execution ground, and he didn't see Hua Qiyue in the crowd. But he cried out the name of Qiyue all the way, which made the crowd believe that he was repenting for what he had done and they felt disdainful and sorry about him.
And Dong Hai Restaurant was closed. But it was said that a mysterious person was negotiating about the transaction of the restaurant with Mrs. Zhou.
It was the period of this day from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., Hua Qiyue was still cultivating herself in Mysterious World. It would be relatively difficult to be promoted after the great completeness of Soaring Cloud, and it was several times harder than the past.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Tianpi's curious eyes.
"What are you looking at? Looking at a pretty lady?"
Hua Qiyue raised her eyebrows, and she increasingly realized that Tianpi was very mysterious and every time he would look at her like this.
"Well, I'm looking at an evil woman."
"If I'm an evil woman, then my teacher must be an evil man. Evil master, you must have something to tell me." Hua Qiyue smiled and stood up, and she stretched herself. She had spent the whole night here, and it seemed that Tianci would be looking for her and be worried again.
"I'm confused, why did you frame Huiling since she had no resentment with you? Let the Empress be disappointed in Princess Huiling?"
Tianpi's black jade-liked eyes were shining with a curious light.
Hua Qiyue paused, looking at the clear and blue sky, "Why? Because now when I see Princess Huiling, I seem to see the past Princess Huizhen. She'll never let me go, but… I'll constantly fight against her."
Tianpi pretended to be shocked and beat his breast, "What an evil and cunning woman you are! There will only be one end to be your opponent, and that is death!"
Hua Qiyue smiled coldly, "I'll be polite to others if they're polite to me. And I will take her life if she wants mine!"
Tianpi blinked his eyes, "Right, right, I like the woman of personality. Good apprentice, remember to bring me roast chicken or something tonight!"
Hua Qiyue laughed, "Fine, but… master, I have a condition, I want to know your history."
She must figure out that mysterious people like Tianpi was an enemy or a friend.
But unexpectedly, Tianpi smiled, "My apprentice, although there are few senior Qi Artists on Tianyuan Continent, there still exist some creepy Qi Artists. So, go tamely and buy me some wine and meat, otherwise… I can get through your Qi Mai, but I can also break your Qi Mai." (Qi Mai means blood flow and pulse in Chinese medicine.)
Tianpi sounded like kidding, but there was no sense of smiling in his eyes.
Hua Qiyue was shocked, and she realized that this evil man couldn't joke with her.
Hua Qiyue had no way, it was her fault that she was less outstanding than this man. So, what she got was intangible control.
"Okay, I give up. I have to get out of here to see my good son!" Hua Qiyue shrugged. And at the thought of this, she left the mysterious world.
Coming back to the room, Hua Qiyue heard Lv Xin's chuckle from the yard. And she felt a little strange because she seldom heard Lv Xin and Youshui laugh like this since they were relatively missish girls.
Hua Qiyue walked out of the hall and came to the ground of the yard. Under a banyan, besides Long Red, she saw that Caining and Caiqing were teaching Tianci swordsmanship.
On Tianyuan Continent, although the swordsmanship had declined, some Qi Artists were still using swords so that they could effectively reduce the depletion of anima energy and extend the fighting time.
So, swordsmanship owned both usefulness and futility.
Only those general Qi Artists would use swords. As for Caining and Caiqing, their Qi Art was above the middle stage of Soaring Cloud, but they hadn't reached the great completeness.
Tianci quickly rushed at Hua Qiyue when he saw her coming out, and he hugged her two legs with his big eyes blinking. And he pointed at the wooden sword he threw on the ground and excitedly waved his little hands.
"Oh, Tianci is learning swordsmanship, great, great!" Hua Qiyue tenderly squatted and hugged him.
Tianci's eyes were bright and shining.
Hua Qiyue raised her eyes and looked at the twins, Caining and Caiqing. They looked alike very much, just like being carved according to the same mold, which confused her.
Hua Qiyue saw a wisp of disdainful light skimming over their eyes.
Although Caining and Caiqing were appointed by the Emperor to protect Hua Qiyue, in fact, they were sent to protect these Long Reds.
Actually, there were not many Qi Artists on Tianyuan Continent who could reach the middle stage of Soaring Cloud. And in their eyes, the viewed that men were superior to women had never changed. Moreover, they were Qi Artists who per se looked down upon the "loser" Hua Qiyue.
Hua Qiyue gently raised her eyebrows, and Youshui and Lv Xin looked at each other, inwardly worrying about Caining and Caiqing.
"Tianci, when I have time, I'll teach you Qi Art, is that okay?" Hua Qiyue said softly with a complicated light shining in her eyes.
Tianci nodded his head just like pounding garlic.
Caining and Caiqing looked at each other, and there was another cold sarcasm skimming over their eyes. They were both young and aggressive and they were amused by Hua Qiyue's confidence.
"You, the loser, teach him Qi Art, how can you teach him Qi Art?"
Caining laughed coldly. He folded his arms across his chest, having no respect for Hua Qiyue.
Caiqing also sarcastically shook his head, "My younger brother, why did you mock at this ambitious woman? She is a loser. And we won't be your guards but for the magic medicine's sake."
Hearing their sarcasm, Lv Xin and Youshui got angry, but they were afraid to interrupt after Hua Qiyue glared at them, only to nervously look at what was happening here.
