155 Chapter 1 The old things in the imperial capital [-]
On the quiet street, the dim light illuminated the black blood stains on the wall.
The swill exuding a cold and greasy smell was scattered all over the ground, covering the faces and skirts of the people on the ground;
A wooden hairpin was inserted into the wrinkled neck, cutting a finger-long slit, the blood was rubbed into the swill, and there was an oily smell.
"Xu Qi" squatted beside the corpse, coincidentally, her face was not stained with any blood, her thin body was shaking slightly, she didn't know whether it was from fear or cold.
Anyway, the hand she stretched out to flip through Grandma Sun's purse was steady.
Although Grandma Sun is a servant, her life is much more comfortable than that of "Xu Qi", and she has some small silver with her, which is enough for her to buy steamed buns for a month.
After emptying the purse, "Xu Qi" turned the person over again, touched the front of the clothes, and sure enough, he took out two cakes that were still hot from inside, and they came out from the kitchen of Xu's mansion for her youngest son.
"Xu Qi" took it all, and then poured all the remaining swill in the bucket on Aunt Sun's head, covering her bloodshot eyes, and left in a hurry while eating cakes.
This year, Xu Qi was only 12 years old.
But she had already killed someone.For that bite.
The joy of killing people made Xu Qi, who had been tortured since childhood, wake up with a smile in every nightmare.
Because of her natural abilities, until she was 17 years old, countless people died under her hands.
From Xu's mansion bullying her servants, to her playmate who didn't know whether it was a joke or deliberately teasing her, to a beggar who might be her dislike...
Xu Qi herself didn't know who she had killed, those people whose names she couldn't even remember.
Her eyes are gray all the year round, without a trace of life. Anyone who looks at her will curse and slap her to stop looking at her.
Xu Qi would usually choose to laugh at this time, no matter how hard he was beaten.
The happier she laughed, the faster the other party ran, like a funny clown.
However, the opponent usually cannot escape, and she will always find an opportunity to wait for the opportunity to kill him.
She lived such a numb life for many years, until the city was rebuilt, the side door used to allow her to enter and exit was sealed by another wall, and a new courtyard was built next door to the Xu family, and it had a new owner.
It was after this wall that Xu Qi saw He Lin for the first time.
A down and out prince.
A mother concubine is a bed-climbing maidservant, powerless and powerless, just like her Xu Qi, a low-born who was abandoned by others.
He Lin likes to play the piano, and what he has to do every day must be to play the piano and read books.
There are two courtyards, and an old plane tree is sandwiched between the two high walls.
After He Lin came, Xu Qi had more fun. She often climbed over walls and trees to watch He Lin play the piano.
Where the zither sounds, the world is silent, as if all the beauty in the world is fused between the seven strings.
Xu Qi likes the sound of the piano, but she prefers the person playing the piano, but sometimes, she would suddenly think: This person should have a pair of wolf ears that are very pleasing to touch.
Whenever this time, she would shake her head and give up the idea.
In the afternoon when the sun was shining, she fell asleep on the wall accompanied by the sound of the piano, and the wind would bring up the fragrance of the tea from the person below and the fragrance of the flowers in the garden.
It was a quiet day, and Xu Qi felt that even the dirtiest like himself was infected with the fragrance of flowers.
However, it didn't take long before He Lin discovered her.
When the flowers were in full bloom, the jade-faced young man in white smiled and extended his hand towards her.
Xu Qi saw his two lovely canine teeth, and his clean and white fingers.
She suddenly felt that her dusty hands were so dirty.
She put her hands behind her back, and wiped them desperately where the other party couldn't see, until blood oozes from the back of her hands.
He Lin looked at the face on the wall, his expression was in a daze for a moment, his voice became more gentle, and he said with a smile: "It's dangerous up there, come down."
He promised again: "I will catch you."
Xu Qi rolled his gray eyes, and finally couldn't help but jumped down.
As he said, He Lin caught her firmly.
Just like that, Xu Qi had her first friend in her life. They planted flowers and listened to the piano together.
This year, Xu Qi never killed anyone.
It wasn't until the old emperor was critically ill, the palace was in turmoil, and the assassinations of the other princes pointed at He Lin one after another, that Xu Qi killed someone in front of him.
Warm blood splashed on the faces of the two, breaking the tranquility.
Xu Qi will never forget how he felt at that time.
Fear, worry, and a tinge of hope.
She hoped that He Lin would not hate him because of this.
Fortunately, He Lin was just a little frightened, and didn't despise himself because of it, but from then on, the stable life no longer existed.
Xu Qi became He Lin's pawn and killed many people for him.
It was also at this time that she discovered that she was so useful. No one in the imperial capital could escape her supernatural power that could restrain people's spirits.
Having found the meaning of his own existence, Xu Qi was willing to kill someone for He Lin.
During the day and night together, the two secretly fell in love.
He Lin promised her that on the day he came to rule the world, he would fill the city with flowers and marry her as the empress.
Unfortunately, the appearance of Xu Qinglian broke all this.
As Xu Qi's twin sister, Xu Qinglian has a completely different fate.
Qing pity, Qing pity, who is not pity...
From the name to the treatment of the two people, there is a difference between the two.
It was the first time Xu Qi saw this young lady who looked like him.
And the other party didn't even know her existence.
If the Xu family hadn't surrendered to He Lin, the two of them might never have met in this lifetime, and Xu Qinglian would never have known that he had such a sister who was struggling in the quagmire.
After learning the truth, Xu Qinglian took Xu Qi's hand with tears in her eyes and promised: "From now on, you will be Xu Jiaming's rightful second lady, and I will never let you suffer any grievances again."
Her hands were soft and warm, and there was a pleasant fragrance on her body.
Obviously it has a face similar to Xu Qi's, but it looks like a fairy for no reason.
She hugged Xu Qi into her arms, not disliking the smell of blood on her body at all.
When Xu Qi felt the warmth, she also felt once again that she was humbled into the dust...
During that time, Xu Qi's eyes were full of light, and they were no longer lifeless.
With He Lin and her gentle sister, she felt that her life was not so boring.
Unfortunately, the good times are not long.
Xu Qi's secret was still discovered. He Lin looked at her in shock, fell off the bed, and left without looking back.
When this day really came, Xu Qi found himself calmer than he imagined.
She redressed silently, and then returned to her room, but her eyes were dry without a single tear.
She told herself over and over again that she was still valuable, and He Lin would never abandon herself.
As she expected, He Lin came to apologize after two days, and there was nothing abnormal in getting along with her.
For the first time, Xu Qi became naive, thinking that the other party really no longer disliked him.
But He Lin embraced the person in his arms, but his heart was full of mixed feelings.
Obviously it should be very disgusting, but I don't know why, but I feel a little distressed...
