The little princess was torn, and the demon emperor patched her up

Chapter 37: The lights are shining, and the disasters are gone

Ji Huaisheng hugged Huo Yingying in the bed and whispered to her: "Anyway, I will definitely marry you, so losing your virginity is not a big deal. But now my parents are far away in Yejing, and I can't prepare a matchmaker and six betrothal gifts for you. It happens that I will leave tomorrow, why don't you come with me? You are beautiful and well-behaved, my parents will definitely like you. When the rice is cooked and we have a child, we don't have to worry about your parents not agreeing."

The girl was ignorant and immersed in sweet talk.

She really packed her bags and quietly left Lingzhou with him in the middle of the night.

She bought a piece of red silk on the way and happily embroidered her wedding dress while she was on her way.

Until she arrived in Chengdu, she still firmly believed that Ji Huaisheng would marry her.

But at this time, Ji Huaisheng had already received a letter from home, urging him to return to Beijing as soon as possible to take the exam, and saying that he had chosen the daughter of Master Wen as his wife.

Ji Huaisheng settled Huo Yingying in the loquat garden, still in a tender and affectionate manner: "The spring imperial examination is approaching, and I can't concentrate on my studies with you. Why don't you live here first, and when I pass the imperial examination in the future, I will bring a sedan chair with eight bearers to marry you. Yingying, you are the woman who understands me best in the world. You know that my greatest wish in this life is not to win the first prize in the imperial examination, but to stay with you forever and become a pair of immortal lovers."

Huo Yingying had no doubt about his sincerity and let him go reluctantly.

She stayed alone in the garden, embroidering her wedding dress while waiting for him to marry her.

On the most tormenting and lonely nights, she held the red wedding dress in the candlelight, whispered to it every detail of her and Ji Huaisheng, gently stroked its bright red satin, and told it how much she missed Ji Huaisheng.

As winter passes and spring comes, the loquat tree in the garden has added another annual ring.

She waited and waited, until the spring examination results were announced the following year, and finally she heard that he had passed the imperial examination.

Huo Yingying was filled with joy.

She thought he was finally going to marry her, but she heard that he had married the daughter of Master Wen last winter.

It turned out that he was in such a hurry to return to Yejing not to take the exam, but to get married.

She wrote a letter to question him, but the reply she got was just a light apology. His explanation was that he had originally planned to bring her to the capital, but he was too busy at home and forgot about her for a while, so he told her to go home and find a good man to marry.

He forgot about her for a moment, what a ridiculous reason!

He forgot her in this loquat garden, as easy as forgetting a piece of clothing!
Huo Yingying sat in the corridor holding the embroidered wedding dress.

The tears dripped, dyeing the wedding dress an even brighter red.

With tears in her eyes, she picked up the needle and thread and slowly embroidered eight words on the hem of her skirt: Never trust a man again.

Never trust a man again...

Later, the money she brought from home was gradually spent.

But she was too ashamed to go home and see her parents and brother.

The loquat garden is overgrown with weeds year after year.

She relied on loquats to fill her stomach until she died of depression.

Before she died, she wished never to meet Ji Huaisheng again.

She vowed to forget everything, to be happy in the next life, and to still be the apple of her parents' and brother's eyes.

In front of the embroidered building, thousands of lights are shining like a golden sea.

The girl transformed by the red wedding dress tilted her head slowly, as if recalling the day Huo Yingying died: "She was very hungry, and she ate a lot of loquats. Those green and yellow loquats were not yet ripe, and they were so sour that they could almost make your teeth fall out. But she ate so much that when she died, her limbs were slender, but her stomach was bulging like a frog."

A tear rolled down her cheek.

Her expression was smiling: "Is it worth it? Is it worth it to end up like this for a man?"

Xiao Baojing murmured, "So, influenced by Miss Huo's resentment, all the people and monsters who enter this garden will gradually forget everything. And you find a man to marry every day, dress him up as Ji Huaisheng, and hang him in the embroidery building, also to avenge Miss Huo."

"My magic power is not enough to support me to leave this garden and go to the distant Yejing." The girl in red put away the gentleness she had when imitating Huo Yingying, and stroked her braids with arrogant eyes, "Otherwise, I will definitely kill Ji Huaisheng!" The girl was too violent.

Xiao Baojing was thinking hard about how to resolve this anger, when Xiao Qian suddenly pointed his sword at her and shouted, "You monster! Ji Huaisheng was abominable for having an affair with her and then abandoning her, but you have murdered people over the years, do you know how many innocent families have been torn apart because of you? Monster, I will chop you tonight!"

The sword shines like a ray of light.

The red-dressed girl had a frosty face and accepted the attack without hesitation.

The two exchanged twenty moves again, and the girl in red suddenly stretched out her sharp nails and broke the mountain ghost bracelet on Xiao Qian's wrist.

The bracelet fell to the ground and turned into light and disappeared in an instant.

The girl had no more scruples, and as she grinned fiercely, a cold wind blew behind her, dark clouds covered the moon, and all the lights in the garden suddenly went out!

Countless monsters and ghosts emerged from the darkness, as if they wanted to tear Xiao Qian and the others into pieces!
Xiao Baojing took a breath of cold air.

Done!

Does this count as lifting the seal and triggering the ultimate boss? !
She was getting nervous when a soft light suddenly appeared.

It’s the red lantern the peddler is holding in his hand.

The peddler held her firmly in one hand and held the lantern in the other. His fox eyes curved and smiled warmly: "The lanterns are bright, and the disasters will go away."

His tone was ancient, as if he was chanting some ancient spell.

As soon as he finished speaking, in just a moment, the red lanterns shone brightly!
Wherever the light reached, most of the loquat orchard was illuminated!

The monsters and ghosts had nowhere to hide and fled screaming into the darkness in the distance.

The girl in red covered her face with her sleeves. Her originally ferocious and ferocious expression seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. Under the illumination of the red lanterns, she turned into a dazzling red wedding dress stained with blood, and she ran away suddenly, swinging her wide sleeves.

Xiao Baojing: "..."

I want to scream.

No, the peddler has this ability, but he can't even have enough to eat? !
Why didn't he use it earlier?

What on earth were they doing wandering around the garden for so many days? !
Is it bad luck for them?!

Led by the red lanterns, everyone walked out of the garden safely.

Dawn breaks over the horizon.

Xiao Baojing looked back with lingering fear, and was stunned when he saw the plaque: "Forget Garden?"

Xiao Qian murmured, "Forget Garden, Forget Garden, Miss Huo was forgotten in this garden by Ji Huaisheng. She was so miserable that she wished she could forget everything... Miss Huo's experience is really sad."

As everyone was talking, the memories lost in the garden quietly returned to their minds.

Xiao Qian's brows were slightly locked, and his aura changed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although he was still wearing the same ragged and dirty clothes, his noble and graceful demeanor was revealed, and he looked like a reserved, dignified and cold prince.

"His Royal Highness!"

The attendants of the Eastern Palace who finally came over knelt down in a mass, saying, "We are late in coming to your rescue, and we hope that Your Highness will forgive us!"

He is the prince?!
Xiao Baojing opened his mouth in surprise.

　good night
