After passing through the deep and narrow corridor and entering the main room of the secret room, Ye Chuyan's pupils suddenly shrank and he couldn't help but open his mouth slightly.
Before her eyes was a scene she had never dreamed of.
The three walls of the secret room were densely covered with her portraits!
The largest one in the middle shows a seven-year-old girl lying on the floor of a cave, with her soap boots taken off and her bare feet lying on the ground unable to move.
She glared at the young man Na Sheng, who was holding the bell on her foot.
In this painting, the red mole on her right ankle is particularly obvious.
The painting is vivid and lifelike, and the expressions and postures of the two people are exactly the same as before.
On the other wall are pictures of her in Jiangjiayuan, all of which are scenes of her standing alone in the yard.
Judging from his clothes, it must have been the time when Na Sheng went to Kyoto.
Next to several of Jiang Jiayuan's paintings, there are paintings of her dancing with a sword at a palace banquet. In the painting, she is leaping into the air with a sword.
There is also a scene where she was copying the Heart Sutra in the room when she and Pei Xiuyan went to Xiangyun Temple to eat and chant Buddha.
The rest is all about what happened after she came to Beirong Palace.
She watched her soul being removed with a look of horror on her face;
The scene where she stabbed Pei Xiuyan to death with an expressionless face;
The scene where she was shaking and crying after killing Wu Mu;
She watched a living person being fed to a tiger and cried until he collapsed.
There was also the scene of her wearing a bright red palace dress, lying in Na Sheng's arms and sitting on the dragon chair.
The workmanship of this painting is excellent, and the atmosphere of hundreds of officials worshiping is vivid on the page. Looking at the painting, you can imagine what it feels like to sit on the dragon throne, among thousands of people.
The most eye-catching thing was the scene when she went to find Na Sheng wearing a bright red palace dress, and she stood next to Na Sheng, grinding ink for him.
One of the two people wore a golden dragon robe and lowered his head to read the memorial, while the other wore a red palace dress and studied ink.
Because they all lowered their heads, they couldn't see the emotions in their eyes, but only looked at their figures, which gave them a hint of red sleeves.
These paintings come to life as if they were reproduced yesterday.
After Ye Chuyan glanced at these paintings one by one, his breathing became a little short.
Everything she saw before her could no longer be expressed in a specific emotion or mood.
She could only freeze in place, looking at these paintings confused and helpless.
These paintings are of her, but not of her.
The person she was before the soul was transferred and the person she was after was transformed into a brand new person standing in front of the painting.
Na Sheng walked up behind Ye Chuyan and gently hugged her waist.
He was taller than Ye Chuyan, so he hugged Ye Chuyan and rested his chin on top of her head.
"I never paint for anyone, you are the first and only one."
"Like it?"
Ye Chuyan twitched the corner of his mouth and retracted his thoughts.
"dislike."
The paintings in Jiang Jiayuan look like they were painted by peeping from a high place.
It turned out that from that time on, Na Sheng had sent people to spy on him. Just thinking about it made people feel scared.
No normal girl would like this kind of painting.
"Do you think I imprison you just because I want to tame and dominate you?"
"I said, I like you, you are the one I love deeply."
Ye Chuyan: "..."
Do you like perverted voyeurism?
"Do you want to know why I was born with double eyes?"
Ye Chuyan didn't know why Na Sheng mentioned this. She frowned and thought for a moment. When she was in Dafeng, she had heard that Na Sheng was born to a lowly maid in the palace. The details were not very clear.
She told herself for the first time that there must be a shocking secret hidden in Na Sheng's double pupils.
"Why?"
Na Sheng paused for a moment, seeming to be deep in thought.
It took a while before he spoke.
"Only when people from the Zhuanri clan combine with their closest relatives can they give birth to normal offspring. Otherwise, the children they give birth to will be born alien."
"My mother-in-law didn't want to marry her brother, so she tried every possible means to escape from the Zhuanri Clan. By chance, she entered the Beirong Palace and was taken over by Na Xiangtian."
"When Xiangtian saw that my mother-in-law was pregnant, he made her a little Baolin."
"After I was born, I was indeed an anomaly. I was born with heterochromatic eyes and double eyes. I couldn't understand the seven emotions and six desires normally, let alone what love is."
"When the people in the palace saw my double eyes, they regarded me as a ghost. Xiangtian also hated me and threw my mother and I into the cold palace, leaving us to fend for ourselves."
"In the cold palace, my mother-in-law was very good to me. As long as I had a bite to eat, she would give it to me first."
"When I was five years old, she bumped into one of Na Xiangtian's favorite concubines, and Na Xiangtian ordered her to be beaten to death on the spot."
"Seeing her die in front of me, I couldn't cry. I knew I should be sad, but I didn't understand what sadness was."
"I only envy Xiangtian's right to kill people at will."
"So, I invited myself to join the military camp. After nine deaths on the frontier, I finally took control of all the military power on the frontier."
"In the end, he led the troops back to the palace, ascended the throne, held everything in the palm of his hand, and stepped on it under his feet."
"That Xiangtian didn't die suddenly, but he was poisoned by me myself."
Na Sheng's words made Ye Chuyan stunned.
She guessed that Na Sheng didn't understand emotions and had no empathy, but she didn't expect this to be the reason.
Na Sheng not only killed his brother, the prince, but also his biological father!
He actually killed his father and brother!
This is not only heartless, but also inhumane.
While she was shocked, she quickly captured an important piece of information: Na Sheng was a descendant of the Zhuanri tribe!
"Then you...soul transfer technique..."
She was a little incoherent.
She wanted to ask Na Sheng if he could also transfer souls, and if he could live forever?
Na Sheng seemed to understand what Ye Chuyan meant and chuckled twice.
"People of the Zenri tribe can never transfer souls for their own people, and only pure descendants of the Zenri tribe can learn the art of soul transfer."
"The person who transferred your soul that day was the last person in the Zhuanri tribe who could transfer souls."
"The art of soul-moving is a witchcraft, and the person who performs it will definitely die on the next day. After his death, there will be no more soul-moving art in this world."
It took Ye Chuyan a long time to digest the news.
"You...why..." She actually didn't know how to continue asking why Na Sheng told herself all this.
These things are too mysterious.
It was so mysterious that if she hadn't experienced it personally, she wouldn't have believed it at all. There really was a Sun-switching tribe in the world, and there really was a soul-transferring technique.
And Na Sheng was actually a descendant of the Zhuanri clan.
Ye Chuyan felt that the shock was not over yet, because Na Sheng continued to whisper.
"I can't remember what my mother-in-law looks like. I only remember that she has a red mole on her right ankle."
"When I saw the red mole on your right ankle in the cave, I thought that I should marry you when I grow up."
"If there is anyone in this world who deserves my love, it is you."
"So, you are indeed the only person I like and love deeply."
Ye Chuyan's whole body felt as if he was struck by five thunders, and he was stunned on the spot.
It's like oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar poured together in my heart, the taste is complex.
She didn't dare to think that Na Sheng really "liked" her.
This kind of liking was something he forcibly defined after seeing the red mole on his foot.
He doesn't understand love, so the way he expresses his liking and love is to use his best taming method.
The process is so horrifying that it makes people collapse.
This sudden confession and truth make people feel more magical than the soul-moving technique.
"So, you went to Dafeng as soon as you ascended the throne."
"You traded Li Cheng for me to dance barefoot with a sword at the palace banquet, just to see the red mole on my feet and confirm that I was the person you dragged into the cave back then?"
Ye Chuyan hit the mark, and Na Sheng was very satisfied.
"Sure enough, only a smart woman like you can be worthy of me."
"That idiot Pei Xiuyan can't even protect your reputation, but I spent the territory and city of Beirong to find you."
"Ajin, are you touched?"
Ye Chuyan was not moved, and his mood could not be described in a single word.
This is the only thing that she has never dared to think about since entering Beirong Palace.
Na Sheng destroyed his love and hate, changed his body and name, and allowed himself to experience the feeling of being the best among ten thousand people.
It turns out that the reason for all this is that a demon who doesn't understand love is expressing his love.
Just like now, he takes himself to see these and tells himself the truth because he feels that this is the ultimate tenderness of a man, and all women should be moved when they know it.
This way of expressing love can drive any normal person crazy.
Na Sheng let go of Ye Chuyan, walked around in front of her, and pushed her loose black hair behind her ears.
The voice is deep and seductive.
"On the Lantern Festival next month, I will take you to the high platform and proclaim you the Queen of Beirong in front of all the people of Star City."
"In the future, you will become the most noble woman in Beirong and share the great country with me."
Ye Chuyan raised her head and met Na Sheng's eyes. She saw that Na Sheng was trying his best to soften his heavy pupils.
But he was born strange. No matter how gentle he was, he could not understand what love was, and his eyes could not be filled with affection.
After a while, Ye Chuyan opened her red lips and slowly uttered three words.
"I understand."
Na Sheng told himself this today not only to move himself, but also to make him give up.
Once she reaches the high platform and announces her as Queen Beirong in public, all the people in Star City will recognize her.
Afterwards, even if she escaped from the palace, she would still be unable to move in Star City, and it would be even harder to leave Beirong than to reach the sky.
Therefore, she must escape before Na Sheng announces that she is Queen Beirong.
After the two walked out of the secret room, Na Sheng saw that Ye Chuyan remained silent, so he sent someone to take her back to Fengyi Palace.
It's not surprising that a woman who learns that the king of a country loves her deeply needs some time to digest the good news.
Ye Chuyan returned to Fengyi Palace. As soon as she entered the house, she saw a dazzling array of gifts, including jewelry, gold hairpins, calligraphy, paintings, and corals.
She couldn't help but be a little confused.
Dong'er's face flushed with excitement.
"Empress, you are back. These are gifts from the masters of the harem."
"Today you distributed it to the imperial garden. Not only was the emperor not angry, but he also allowed you to let these masters go. They are now extremely grateful to you as the queen."
"Everyone just sent people to deliver things."
Ye Chuyan smiled bitterly.
Today she rescued these women in the Royal Garden, and it was Na Sheng who forced her to do so.
Even if she really becomes the queen, if Na Sheng really wants to kill the concubine, she may not be able to stop him.
What's more, I have no interest in the position of queen.
Na Sheng promised himself that if he escaped, he would not implicate anyone else.
Before he left, the only thing he could do was to ensure that Na Sheng kept his promise and would not kill these concubines for this reason.
She returned to the dormitory, turned away from Dong'er, took out a wedding invitation from the mezzanine under the pillow, and began to caress it carefully.
This is the wedding invitation written by Wu Mu that Na Sheng gave her.
These days, every time she couldn't hold on any longer, she relied on this wedding invitation to hold on.
The words on it have long been blurred by tears, and there are still some small wrinkles around the wedding invitation.
Ye Chuyan gently smoothed the wrinkles and muttered.
"Fool, wait for me. I will definitely escape from here and find you."
