00:00害我被人夺赦,做了孤魂野鬼,可他却与那占我身体之人恩爱相守,他们借我公主身份想一声文华,生儿育女,家观尽绝,我孤苦飘零,魂无所依,再次真面,我回到了他赠我玉佩之时,我欣然接受,转手将玉佩赠一祭祀,我从没想过能亲眼看见自己生死,家成公主赵华英回光返赵,含笑倾诉他幸福美满的一生,夫妻恩爱,子女孝顺,虽然短命,但他这一生,
00:30了无遗憾,我冷眼瞧着原本属于我的驸马顾婷炫,长相笑似我的孩子,在他断气的那一刻,全都发出了悲吐秘诀的哭声,谁也未曾提起过一句,我这个早已被剥夺了一切的真正的赵华英,眼前的人,他是我的丈夫,却又不是我的丈夫,他们是从我身体里出生的孩子,却又不是我的孩子,他们是踩着我的命网上爬的魔鬼,是害死我的罪魁祸首,许是多年积累的仇恨一朝爆发,我借以灵体的形式,流下了血泪,我冲着顾婷炫那张令人作呕的脸,发出了声音刺
00:59顾婷炫,说我能报仇,我定于你不死不休可随后
01:05,我的身体便开始逐渐变得透明,我以为是我的日子到了,便闭上眼,准备任命投胎,可没想到,耳边竟又回荡着顾婷炫那令人讨厌的声音这枚玉佩是我顾家的家传玉佩
01:17,是要送给我日后的妻子的,如今陛下赐婚,这枚玉佩送给公主,再合适不过了等等,怎么又是顾婷炫的声音
01:25我只觉手心一片冰凉,睁开眼,手中赫然躺着一名玉佩,是幻魂玉,而眼前的顾婷炫年轻俊美,我见回到了顾婷炫赠我玉佩之时殿下见我发愣
01:36,顾婷炫再次开口
01:38,她的脸上挂着笑,眼里却闪过微不可查的不耐,我将玉佩握紧,仰起了笑自是阿玄所夫,我定日日佩戴在身上听到我这么说
01:52,顾婷炫的眼门中闪过得逞过后的真实的笑语玉佩代表着顾婷对殿下的情意
01:55还望殿下妥善帮我我点头英氏
01:56,随后编了个理由告别,顾婷炫目的达成,自然不会与我多纠缠我回到马车上
02:02,将玉佩随手扔到了角落里,眼面痛哭,吓坏了春歌春儿是我的贴身试壁
02:10,上辈子跟在已经换了信子的柳依依身边因着自小侍奉我的缘故
02:11,还发现了我被夺舍后的异常,因此被柳依依折磨至死
02:15玉佩,可是受什么委屈呢?
02:18不是,回宫吧另外
02:24,帮我找个宾死之人要身份卑贱
02:25,身世复杂的,竟想要圆满那凭什么踩着我的命继续他们美满的一生这辈子
02:32,身世,荣华,爱情他们一个也别想得到我要让他们渴求的一切都化为虚无在我手中求生不得休死不能
02:46我知道,十日之后便是上辈子我被夺舍的日子所以
02:54,让他们抓紧时间为我寻找合适之人当他们带着一冰死的妓子来寻我时
02:56,到底犯了难殿下,这穷娘是青楼的妓子大夫说
03:00,药食无医,就在这几天了她患得乃是脏病
03:03,您污要上前,免得污了您的眼睛他们寻遍京城
03:09,只找到了这一个与我所要相符的那女子满脸脏污,但也依稀能看出来
03:11,是个清秀之人我驱散所有人,走到她面前蹲下
03:17讲述了我寻她的意愿我知道被人夺舍的痛苦
03:23,所以不愿抢人所难哪怕我能许诺给她的亲友无尽的荣华富贵那女子居然面无多蓝
03:24,只睁开眼睛像老朽般毫无生机,只问了一句用完这身子之后
03:40,可否一把火烧见我疑惑,她自嘲一笑免得让我那黑心肝的父母和弟弟拿她去配了阴魂让我在地下也要牢牢受他们的掌控我被他们绑了卖到清了
03:43,已经被他们毁了一辈子
03:44不想死了,也要被他们榨干我的骨洗我不甘心她生如老玉
03:54,只在提到父母兄弟时戴上了养牙切齿的恨你我听明白了你可愿报仇听到报仇二字
04:02,那女子像是用尽全身力气一把抓住了我的手臂我点头我是公主你想要的一切
04:12,我都会这是我最后能为她做的顾廷炫送我玉佩只言明说是给顾府日后的当家主母的上辈子的我爱了她剑主自然心中欢喜当即便将玉佩佩戴在了身上
04:14可我没想到不过时日
04:38,我便魂魄离体而顾廷炫搂着我极尽温柔地喊她一一原来顾廷炫有一位自小体弱多病的青梅柳一一在她游进灯窟而顾廷炫求一无果后她便听从一个妖道的话动了夺舍的念头她为她担惊竭律亲自挑选了三百位女子可不是家世不好便是容貌不够出挑又怕到时难过我这一段自来想去顾廷炫便堵了把大的把目光放在了我身上
05:04我是地后膝下唯一的狄公主身份尊贵容貌毅力断然不会委屈了她的青梅又与她有婚约在身名正言顺所以她将那妖道给的幻魂玉相赠做法将柳一一的魂魄送进了我的身体而柳一一的躯体生死我魂无所依我被人夺赦本不该生死又无鬼拆来所我的命于是变成了日日飘荡的孤魂野鬼只能怀着仇恨看着这对狗男女恩爱相守借着我的身份踩着我的蜜
05:31享受着原本属于我的一切上辈子我与父母阴阳两格为了不让父皇母后看出破绽她减少了难人与他们的接触除却必要的宫宴顾廷炫很少让她进宫父皇母后私女心切顾廷炫便让她生下来的孩子进宫陪伴二老那是从我的身体里淡欲的孩长相与我极其相似父皇母后爱乌极乌极其疼爱这两个身上融得我骨血的孩子即使后来父皇让位皇兄也依旧让皇兄为孩子们封绝
05:55上辈子的嘉诚公主一生孙荣唯一可惜的便是红颜薄命不过三十岁便相消欲驸马顾廷炫与她一生一世一双人儿子席绝女儿一年前也被封了郡主她享受着顾廷炫为她夺来的一切活成了京城绝大多数贵女心中艳羡的对象我把幻魂与放在了穷阳身边让人把她安置好顾廷炫和柳依依既想要不劳而获那便承受抢夺他人身区带来的后果吧
06:23我倒要看看这一辈子孔公主变成妓子顾廷炫和柳依依还能否像上辈子那样恩爱相守由于要处理穷娘的事情我回宫变晚了些正好碰到了从母后宫里出来的皇兄见我晚归他扮起脸训斥怎么这么晚才回来成何体统我从小便跟在皇兄身边知道他是个面冷心软的性子他从小被当做储君培养被太父教育的不苟言笑我时常跟父皇母后嘟闹皇兄是没有白胡子的太父
06:52偶尔也觉得他管我态度太严可相隔十几年如今再听到这熟悉的话在我还没反应过来时眼泪便舒然落下皇兄下的灯时变了脸色站在我面前手足无措你莫哭皇兄皇兄没有生命我只是怕你受伤我一边擦泪一边笑我知道我什么都知道而父皇母后不知何时从店内出来见我哭泣以为是皇兄欺了我当要开口训斥便被我扑了个满怀什么公主什么礼仪规矩此刻通通一边去
07:20我只是只是离开父母太久的女儿我只是太想念他们了与父母兄长温泉一番后我回到了自己的朝阳宫我并没有将今日之事告知他们因为我知道按照父皇的脾气告诉他恐怕就直接把顾廷炫拖出去砍了可我不想让他死得那么容易朝阳宫离得近我回去使东赫正坐在椅子上指挥着一些低等级的宫女太监做事春歌与东赫都是我身边事后的一等宫女春歌温厚善良忠心不二负责我的饮食起居
07:47而东赫心思缜密善管理便负责朝阳宫的公务见我回来他从椅子上起身殿下今日与我们的整副马相谈如何我并未回答而是似笑非笑地瞧着他来人把东赫拖下去杖毙来人把东赫拖下去杖毙是我话说出口不仅朝阳宫的工人就连春歌也乱了
08:17殿下你莫不是开玩笑呢东赫反应过来先前脸上的吸血玩笑尽数消失取而代之的是无尽的恐慌惊句他不断一声跪离殿下东赫经经夜夜为您打理公务今日不知是哪里得罪了我仰手更给了东赫一巴掌我今不知你已经想和本宫做姐妹东赫趴在地上听到我的话脸刷了一下惨白上辈子的柳依依哪怕尽量减少入宫次数还是免不了让面见地后东赫从小伺候我
08:41对我的喜好了如指掌顾廷炫用赋马窃室的位置又哄她入局设计我东赫从小伺候我对我的喜好了如指掌顾廷炫用赋马窃室的位置又哄她入局设计我又让她说出我的喜好祝柳依依过我父皇母后那一段永宁侯府的爵位三代世袭到顾廷炫这里正好是第三代她想延续顾家的荣耀便把主意打到我身上东赫与顾廷里面外合在我的马上做了手脚
09:07为顾廷炫创造了马场相救的机会她对我隐瞒了与柳依依的死挺让我对她一见钟情这才有了父皇赐婚的圣旨她野心太大看上了我的地位为人骄傲却不得不在我身边伏地作小她的自尊心受到了折辱便越发不喜欢我这才想到了夺赦的法子一个听话乖巧又身份尊贵的妻子才是她终生所求这才想到了夺赦的法子一个听话乖巧又身份尊贵的妻子
09:36才是她终生所求事已至此东赫岂会不知我已经知道了全部她面色灰白抖着唇朝我爬过来声泪俱下的求饶她说是顾廷炫引诱她一切都是顾廷炫的错我蹲下身掐住她的下巴与她平视她顾廷心日后要伺候本宫都只能说驸马事情没有本宫的准许谁给她的胆子纳气东赫你自小长在本宫身边眼皮子就这么浅吗
10:05你被蛊惑是真可要害我也是真念在你自小陪我一起长大的分上便给你留个全尸吧你被蛊惑是真可要害我也是真念在你自小陪我一起长大的分上便给你留个全尸吧东赫最后选了一杯毒酒我亲眼看着他在我眼前的气息吩咐下去今天张然公的事情若是有人敢向外透露一心半底东赫的今日便是他们的明日春歌得知的事情的真相
10:30气得浑身发颤脆道赤里扒外的东西当真可恨那殿下接下来要怎么做接下来我让人悄无声息地处理了东赫的尸体再找人模仿他的笔记给顾廷炫通风报信杀鸡紧猴之后如今朝阳宫人人风声鹤唳都自觉闭紧了嘴巴就这么持续了几日顾廷炫让人给东赫地的消息他们要动手了杀鸡紧猴之后如今朝阳宫人人风声鹤唳都自觉闭紧了嘴巴
10:57就这么持续了几日顾廷炫让人给东赫地的消息他们要动手了我按照消息上的时间在这一日十分配合地莫名其妙地晕了过去与此同时京中一个六品官员家的女儿病故被太医医治一天一夜之后我悠悠转醒顾廷炫比任何人都积极地挤到我床前握着我的手殿下可还有不舒服的地方顾廷炫一边惊喜又紧张地看着我一边用眼神示意她的身后守在我床前的还有父皇母后和皇兄
11:23父皇母后以为她紧张我对于她此番失礼的行为倒也没说什么我学着上辈子柳依依的神情盯着她看灵活就是不说话她瞧着我略微醋眉怎么了我有些委屈地开口我想吃柏花糕就是不说话她瞧着我略微醋眉怎么了我有些委屈地开口我想吃柏花糕顾廷炫瞳孔咒说柏花糕的主要原料是牡丹花而柳依依对牡丹花过敏我很明显地感觉到顾廷炫握着我的手
11:50开始发抖阿炫你可是冷了反应过来的顾廷炫撑的便甩开了我的手随后预示到此举过激慌地立刻解释臣臣只是过分担忧公主殿下父皇母后此刻没有心情关注她全都错过来关切地问东问西倒是皇兄看着她若有所思再次经过太医整脉得出我没有什么事情后他们才彻底放心离开朝阳宫去处理政务了走之前顾廷炫旁敲侧地问我前几日臣送给公主的玉佩
12:21可还配在身上我母亲想着过几日进宫来向您问安若她见您佩戴定是欢喜我从枕头下拿出一枚玉佩与顾廷炫送我的玉佩极其相似只是成色不一样更少了几分阴邪之气诺这不是哎呀怎么变成皇兄送的玉佩了我拿出玉佩仔仔细细地瞧了一眼随后满目愧疚地看向正死死冰着我手里玉佩的顾廷炫阿炫忘记跟你说了
12:46在你送我玉佩之前皇兄也曾赠过我一枚玉佩当日你送我玉佩之后我在回宫的路上碰到一个乞丐我让人把皇兄赠的玉佩送给他让他换了银子给自己治病当时天色已晚我看不清恐是将你赠的玉佩当成皇兄赠的让他换了银子给自己治病当时天色已晚我看不清恐是将你赠的玉佩当成皇兄赠的听完我的话不停炫还有什么不明白的他气得额头青筋抱起
12:51却不敢指责我将他的玉佩送给乞丐只能站起身斥责我不敬皇兄
13:17殿下怎能将太子送您的礼物随意分别提盖呢若殿下真想救命大可给他一只簪子一方手帕都是可以换钱救命的东西我被他斥责以后万分委屈可还没等我开口皇兄先开了口不过是死物罢了加成就是多掉姑也不在乎要是顾公主你见悦了顾停炫忙下跪请罪那玉佩是皇家之物臣只怕既是皇家遇刺那姑会让父皇再次一玉佩给顾服加成累了你且退下吧
13:47皇兄打断了顾停炫的话让他早点出宫再不甘心顾停炫也只能安分告退他太过自信以至于都没有发现东赫的消失顾停炫走后皇兄坐到我床前你到底在做什么是的他根本就没有赠过我预佩是我让人连夜去做借用了皇兄的名义罢了迎着皇兄探究的目光我深吸一口气将顾停炫的阴谋和盘托出而皇兄气得手捏的搁置作响
14:13不停炫他放肆妹妹别怕哥哥这就让父皇下令把永宁侯抚恤决抄家我的心里涌过一阵暖流就知道他会是这个反应于是连忙拽住了他的衣袖可这种死罚起飞便宜了他我的心里涌过一阵暖流就知道他会是这个反应于是连忙拽住了他的衣袖可这种死罚起飞便宜了他皇兄让我自己做吧我能把这件事处理好他敢把这种阴邪之法用到我的身上那我必须要让他付出代价
14:37我把计划向皇兄和盘拖出让他暂时替我瞒着父皇母后为了不让顾廷炫生疑他还去求父皇赐下一枚玉佩当作因我的失误而向顾家赔罪一时间京城权贵都知道不仅家城公主即爱慕顾廷炫就连皇帝和太子都对顾廷炫亲眼有加而顾廷炫一边活在被众人高高捧起的虚假繁荣之中一边焦急的满京城寻找我口中的乞丐毕竟
15:03那可是从小陪他一起长大的青梅啊毕竟那可是从小陪他一起长大的青梅啊听说柳依依在穷娘的身体里醒来之后不敢相信自己如今的处境每日不是喊着自己是家城公主便是官员家的小姐更发疯一般的要去寻找顾廷炫他说他是永明侯世子的心智所爱上辈子我变成游魂之后才知道使用幻魂欲夺赦并不是万无一失幻魂欲虽可以更换灵魂可如若元主意志强大
15:25还是有机会回到属于自己的躯体里的而顾廷炫为了断绝我回来的机会竟谎称我生病但我的父皇母后送来了指尖血混进朱砂让柳依依佩戴至亲骨肉的血避护了夺走我身体的柳依依也彻底断绝了我生存的机会但我的命格与柳依依相克他无法承载我的命格也彻底断绝了我生存的机会但我的命格与柳依依相克他无法承载我的命格
15:48仍旧要承载阴邪之术带来的后果最终还是落了个红颜薄命的结局而这一世被他夺赦的穷羊早已心存死至恐怕早就飞升极乐在不肯看着乌糟的世间一眼柳依依原身已死无人与他抢夺穷羊的身躯虽不知两人命格是否相克可对我来说确实足够了我瞧着底下人上报来的内容吃笑一声随手把纸丢在了蜡烛上既是心之所爱
16:17那本宫怎能阻挡心爱之人相见呢我让人撤了对柳依依的监禁再把顾婷炫的消息透露给他第二日驸马当街与青楼女子拉扯不轻的消息便传遍了京城这一日我与春哥早早等在了顾婷炫会出现的路上而顾婷炫出现之后我远远看着一个满身脏污的女子朝顾婷炫跑去她扑到顾婷炫身上声泪俱下地喊道炫哥哥我是依依啊顾婷炫脸色一变
16:40看见她的惨状眸中浮现心疼之色她正要扶起柳依依便听到了一伙人远远的喊叫她是最春楼偷跑出来的妓子身上染了病莫要脏了大人的跪屁来人喊的声音之大半条街的人都能听见远远的我看见顾婷炫的脸扭曲一瞬眼中闪过嫌弃之色伸出去的要扶柳依依的手也尬在了原地扶不是不扶也不是最终只能咬咬牙
17:03伸出一只手把柳依依扶稳并默默拉开了距离最终只能咬咬牙伸出一只手把柳依依扶稳并默默拉开了距离柳依依发现了她的举动崩溃大喊你嫌弃我你嫌弃我是不是炫哥哥我是你的依依啊我是柳修专家的小姐啊不我是公主我是嘉诚公主啊顾婷炫听她这样喊立刻怒斥哪里来的疯子竟敢直呼公主封号
17:28柳依依不可置信的看着顾婷炫可没等她继续喊来抓她的最春楼的老宝便穷凶极乐的给了她一巴掌恶狠狠的道为了给你治病花了我最春楼多少银子见蹄子居然还敢跑看老杨不打死你随后一群人涌上来对着柳依依拳打脚踢顾婷炫到底看不下去出声制止了他们的行为随后一群人涌上来对着柳依依拳打脚踢顾婷炫到底看不下去
17:53出声制止了他们的行为围观的老百姓也开始纷纷出声赞扬顾婷炫到底是一条人命这位大人心地良善会有好报的去看够了我让春哥抱了一些灵捉装作偶遇的样子出现我十分惊讶人的恶心轻易地拉近了与他的距离阿炫怎么在这顾婷炫没想到我会出现极力压制眼中的慌乱我偶然路过这里见这群人在殴打这名女子看不下去出声制止罢了这里脏屋
18:21便你还是早日回家吧顾婷炫想让我早点消失在这里免得听见一些不该听到的风言风语我却夸赞顾婷炫眼神落在柳一身上阿炫当真是良善之人事到如今我却夸赞顾婷炫眼神落在柳一身上阿炫当真是良善之人事到如今柳一怎会看不出我的身份她趴在地上愿独地看着与顾婷炫举止亲密的我眼底一片星红疯狂地朝我扑了过来就被我身边的部位拦住是你
18:48我才是赵华英我才应该是家臣公主吧我在场顾婷炫无法直接下令让人捂嘴只能眼睁睁地看着柳一一讲出了这种风话看来顾婷炫对自己的计划十分自信平时没少给柳一一述说计划成功后的美满生活这才让柳一一执念颇深近扑风魔我淡淡一笑当真是个疯子顾婷炫本来汗流加倍听到我的话后立刻顺盖爬这种风话免得污了殿下的耳朵
19:12顾婷炫本来汗流加倍听到我的话后立刻顺盖爬这种风话免得污了殿下的耳朵我回宫之后让人添油加醋地把顾婷炫今日之事到处宣扬听说柳一一后来干脆破罐子破摔跑到永宁侯府门前扎坡打滚地说自己与顾婷炫已私定终身要让顾婷炫为自己负责而顾婷炫则直接让人把柳一一捆了扔回了最春楼并对外宣称自己从未踏足最春楼
19:37自己只是受到了污蔑而已可他当街与青楼女子拉拉扯扯是事实如今种种行为不过亡羊补牢而已很快攀奏顾婷炫的奏折便像雪花一样飞到了父皇的御案之上父皇斥责顾婷炫败坏皇家名声而我也拒绝见顾婷炫不得已他只能再次给东赫传递消息消息里除了几句酸言酸语之外而我也拒绝见顾婷炫不得已他只能再次给东赫传递消息
20:02消息里除了几句酸言酸语之外便是询问我如今对他的看法毕竟失了幻魂欲这枚棋子他便只能依照原来的计划做我的驸马我让人回复他就说本公很伤心但还是相信他希望他能平行眼下的舆论我要逼他一把看他在心爱之人与自己的前途中会做出怎样的选择很快我便知道了答案前去暗杀柳依依的人尽数被我的暗卫控制他这段日子不是被青楼劳宝打
20:25就是被穷羊的父母兄弟侮辱打罢如今再被人追杀此刻缩在墙角目光呆滞已经被吓到尸尽我让人留活口当着柳依依的面供出了顾平炫这个幕后指使之人我嘲讽地看着他当着柳依依的面供出了顾平炫这个幕后指使之人我嘲讽地看着他自自住心你心心念念的少年郎不仅为了前途用阴损之法害你能为公人玩乐的忌徒现在还要杀了你
20:51他日后娶妻生子平不清云却害得你永多地狱柳依依你甘心吗他不甘心所以他在这个流血的黑夜痛哭恨得咬牙切齿浑身发抖我不会放过他我不会放过他的很好我要的就是这个效果我让人把柳依依藏起来向顾平炫传达了柳依依已死的消息殿下为何不直接顺水推舟弄死柳依依呢春哥为我打抱不平自己动手多没意思顾平炫的生辰快到了吧
21:16我送他一份大礼顾平炫几日不得召见心急如焚竟想要约见东赫我要皇兄压下参作顾平炫的奏折顾平炫几日不得召见心急如焚竟想要约见东赫我要皇兄压下参作顾平炫的奏折又让东赫回他我有一求父皇把顾家的侯爵封为公爵并让皇兄邀请顾平炫到皇宫来半生沉宴众人都说这是皇家认可顾平炫的意思他解决了禁忧
21:43不需要远虑一时间人逢喜识精神爽走到哪里都高昂着头像一只骄傲的孔雀生辰宴那天我甚至用我的名义将京城里排的上号的权柜全都请到了皇宫顾平炫穿着一身电蓝色锦袍脸上挂着笑意矜持道殿下这么大的排场惩恐怕受不起我拿起一杯酒敬他怎么会呢这些台子本身就是我为你搭的没有你这个主角登场戏还如何唱下去我拿起一杯酒敬他怎么会呢
22:10这些台子本身就是我为你搭的没有你这个主角登场戏还如何唱下去身为今天的主角顾平炫逐渐被人围住宫围只是在不起眼的角落一个身着宫女服的女子正悄悄地向顾平炫靠近在所有人都沉浸在寒暄客套的氛围里时被女子拿出一把剪刀精准地刺中了顾平炫的下体周遭瞬间安静随后便是刺耳惊恐的喊声原本宫围顾平炫的人此刻全都远离他而顾平炫本人想要反抗
22:12抬手 却发现浑身像被抽干了力气只能躺在地上
22:21疼得打滚我进他的酒里 放了东西而那女子正是被我安排进来的柳依依眼瞧着她发了风一般地继续刺他我才抬手
22:27让禁卫君慢悠悠地赶过来控制住了柳依依只能躺在地上
22:28疼得打滚我进他的酒里 放了东西而那女子正是被我安排进来的柳依依眼瞧着她发了风一般地继续刺他我才抬手
22:37让禁卫君慢悠悠地赶过来
22:39控制住了柳依依 而此时顾婷依的变蓝衣袍下摆已经被心血染红她还是不甘心地朝我看来嘴唇一张一盒
22:49嗨 太医我分辨之后吃笑一声漫不经心地把蓝卓手里遍布裂痕地换回忆眼看他高楼起
22:52眼看他验宾客 眼看他楼塌了世间之爽快事
22:56莫大夫辞我浅算所有人 把父皇母后换了过来
22:59闻生而来的 还有顾婷炫的父母他们听闻
23:04儿子今后与太监无异哭求父皇
23:21彻查今日之事顾婷炫原本腾晕过去我让太医给他医治时服必使用麻沸散不过多久他便又活活痛醒顾婷炫原本腾晕过去我让太医给他医治时服必使用麻沸散不过多久他便又活活痛醒即便如此他还是强撑着咬牙为自己辩解都是柳依依
23:22都是那个贱人害我殿下 我是被他用妖术古破的你要信我啊
23:32而柳依依一句也不为自己辩解直脸上带着嗜血疯狂的笑被拖下去时还嘶吼着愿得一心人
23:40白手不相离啊父皇母后一头雾水我与皇兄对视一眼让人把那妖道拖了上来那妖道如今不过三十岁却以身躯钩楼
23:51虚发皆白使用幻魂日这等阴损之法害他人者施法之人须以五十年寿命为代价那妖道被找到时平静异常只说他曾被老侯爷所救救命真
23:52自然须以命来还
24:04他所做一切皆不后悔我像丢垃圾一般把那幻魂玉扔在妖道的身上救命真
24:20你的救命真为什么要让我来付出代价我只要一想到我上辈子的悲哀竟然是因为与我毫不相干的救命真胸膛便开始像滚了开水一般痛苦难耐数十年多孤苦飘零的任日夜夜但我此刻再也听不到任何声音我再也无法压抑心中的仇恨
24:47拔出离我最近的禁卫军的刀一刀捅进了妖道的心脏等那妖道的身体倒下时我才向重获新生顾家的人瑟瑟发抖而父皇母后满目担忧皇兄走近我声音轻柔安音乖不怕了再也没有人能伤害你了我丢掉手中的刀皇兄走近我声音轻柔安音乖不怕了再也没有人能伤害你了我丢掉手中的刀跪在父皇母后面前向他们一字一句地讲述了顾廷炫里阴谋
25:11还有我上辈子遭遇了一切听到那句指尖血保护了柳依依时母后将我抱在怀里哭成了泪人父皇直接下令把顾府抄家夺绝直系亲属全部流放守了二十年规矩从来端正持重的皇兄直接亲自上手把躺在地上装死的顾廷炫滴溜起来一拳又一拳直至顾廷炫的脸血肉模糊我没有让父皇直接杀了顾廷炫和柳依依而是把他们锁在了同一间地牢里
25:36柳依依命不久矣而顾廷炫身有残缺昔日的青梅竹马梁小无猜的爱意在现实前被击地毁碎而顾廷炫身有残缺昔日的青梅竹马梁小无猜的爱意在现实前被击地毁碎我让老玉每日给他们用刑生痛却不致死他们两看生厌即使自己身负重伤也日日用罪恶毒下流的语气攻击对方一年之后柳依依死了眼睛瞪得老大
26:00仍旧瞪着顾廷炫的方向我去地牢看他时他裸露在外的皮肤沾满了血液干涸之后的黑红色夹矿由于那玩意儿被剪小便失禁臭不可闻像一只被捐在猪圈里的猪他已然认不懂我听说顾廷炫一具尸体待了一个晚上第二天精神恍惚在地牢里又哭又笑说什么自己是驸马爷是国公爷说自己有儿有女妻妾成群顾廷炫也有了上辈子的记忆
26:27从顾廷炫封编的只言片语中我知道原来上辈子的嘉诚公主死后顾廷炫装过一阵几个伤心欲绝她不接受任何人说亲说是要悼念王妻就这么守着两个孩子过了五年就连我的父皇母后也深受感动亲自为她定下了一门亲事顾廷炫以笑道为由推去不得自此以后娇妻美妾在怀面子里子都有了可谓是真正的人生瑜伽可这辈子却只能日日在暗无天日的牢狱中度过了
26:54我从来不是什么心善之人所以没有让人停止对顾廷炫用刑害人者中害己她得为此付出代价穷娘的身体火化的那天住在京郊的一家无缘无故的彻底失踪我把穷娘的骨灰摆在那母子三人面前逼着他们像苦了一辈子的穷娘叩首请罪最后当着穷娘的面把他们全部绞杀当着穷娘的面把他们全部绞杀我将穷娘的骨灰随风散了让人在各地设立专门收留

29:36他们骑刷刷跪了一地有的偷偷抬头看我有的把头埋得更低都起来吧我说在这里不用跪他们战战兢兢地站起来没人敢说话我走到一个看起来不过123岁的小姑娘面前她瘦的皮包骨头脸上有新鲜的巴掌面我蹲下身轻声问她你叫什么名字她咬着嘴唇不说话旁边的管事低声道回殿下这丫头是被她爹娘卖进娘子的还没接客就跑了出来被咱们的人捡到
30:05他爹娘追来要人被咱们打发了这丫头自打来了之后一句话都没说过我看着这个小姑娘她眼睛里没有任何神采像一潭死水我突然想起五年前的穷娘那时候她躺在那张破旧的床上眼神也是这般了无声许你恨不恨我轻声问她她依旧不说话但眼眶红了恨就对了我站起身对管事说
30:34给她找个好大夫看看商再找个会说话的姐姐陪着她什么时候她想开口了就让她开口不想开口就不开口说完我转身对所有人道你们来到这里从前的事就都过去了那些卖你们的打你们的抛弃你们的以后都与你们无关从前的事就都过去了那些卖你们的打你们的抛弃你们的以后都与你们无关你们只需要记住一件事我看着他们一字一句道你们是人不是货物你们活着不是为了伺候男人
30:51不是为了生儿育女不是为了给别人当牛做马你们活着是为了自己那天晚上我没有回宫而是在穷善堂住下了夜深人静时我坐在窗前看着外面的月光出神门被轻轻敲响进来的是春哥他端着热茶轻声道殿下你还没睡
31:17我摇摇头睡不着春哥把茶放下犹豫了一下道殿下有件事说地牢那边传来消息顾停炫快不行了我端起茶盏的手顿了顿说地牢那边传来消息顾停炫快不行了我端起茶盏的手顿了顿随即若无其事地瞎了一口太医怎么说太医说他那伤脱了五年如今伤口溃烂入骨要食无一了最多也就这几日的事我将茶盏放下
31:47望着窗外的月光五年了五年来我从未去地牢看过他不是我心软而是我怕自己看到他那个样子所以忍不住亲手杀了他我要他活着活着受罪活着生不如死可如今听说他要死了我心中却并无半分快意他想见您春哥小心翼翼地说这几日他清醒的时候一直在喊您的名字御族问他有什么事他说想见您最后一面见我做什么我冷笑求我饶他一命这个奴婢不知他说想见您最后一面
32:15见我做什么我冷笑求我饶他一命这个奴婢不知我沉默了很久月光透过窗帘洒进来在地上投下一片银白我起身拿起外衣披上走吧地牢里的气味比我想象的还要难我捂着口鼻一步一步走进去御族在前面领路一边走一边道殿下小心脚下这段脏得很走到最深处的一间牢房前御族停下来掏出钥匙开了锁殿下就在里头我接过春哥地来的踏子
32:41捂紧口鼻走了进去牢房里只有一盏昏暗的油灯照出一个蜷缩在角落里的身影那是一个人又不像一个人他瘦的皮包骨头头发花白乱糟糟地劈散着身上的球服破烂不堪又不像一个人他瘦的皮包骨头头发花白乱糟糟地劈散着身上的球服破烂不堪沾满了污秽他蜷缩在那里像一只冰土的野兽发出粗重的喘息声顾婷炫我开口
33:11他的身子动了动慢慢抬起头来那张脸我曾经爱过恨过如今看来只身陌生他浑浊的眼睛看着我好一会儿才哑着嗓子道话音你来了我站在原地没有靠近你找我来想说什么他挣扎着想要爬起来却无力地跌了回去他喘着粗气看着我眼眶里竟然流出泪来话音我对不起你我错了我笑了你错了我慢慢走近他居高临下地看着他你错在哪里我我不该
33:40不该害你我慢慢走近他居高临下地看着他你错在哪里我我不该不该害你你是不该害我还是不该被我发现他愣住了泪痕未干的脸上闪过一丝慌乱话音我我是真心爱你的爱我我忍不住笑出声来不停炫你摸着你的良心说你什么时候爱过我他张了张嘴说不出话来你爱的是我的身份是我的地位是我能给你带来的一切我蹲下身与他平适你从来就没有爱过我
33:55你爱的是柳依依她的眼泪流得更凶了可依依依依她已经死了我我所以呢我打断她所以你想说你如今只能爱我了她愣住了我站起身居高临下地看着她顾廷炫你真是个可怜人
34:24你这一辈子自以为聪明自以为可以算计一切可到头来你算计了谁你算计我想让我成为柳依依的去窍可结果呢柳依依成了继子你成了太监你算计东赫想让他帮你监视我可结果呢东赫喝了毒酒死在我面前你算计我的父皇母后想让他们庇护你和柳依依可结果呢你的父母流放你的家产超末
34:53你在这暗无天日的地牢里等死你算计了一辈子可曾算到过今日他听着我的话整个人像被抽去了骨头软成瘫烂泥华英求求你求求你让我死吧我受不了了我真的受不了了软成瘫烂泥华英求求你求求你让我死吧我受不了了我真的受不了了我看着他心中没有半分波澜你想死我说可以他抬起头眼中闪过一丝希望但你要先回答我一个问题什么什么问题
35:21上辈子我死后你可曾有一刻后悔过他愣住了我盯着他的眼睛一字一句道你可曾有一刻想过那个被你害死的赵华英他张了张嘴却什么也说不出来我笑了你不用回答我知道答案不停炫我最后看了他一眼你死之后会有人给你收尸但不会有人给你立碑不会有人给你烧纸不会有人记得你你这一辈子白活了说完我转身离去身后传来他嘶哑的喊声华英
35:34你这一辈子白活了说完我转身离去身后传来他嘶哑的喊声华英华英你回来你回来啊我没有回头三天后顾廷炫死了狱卒来报信的时候
36:00我正陪着母后在御花园赏花母后听完只是淡淡恩了一声继续逗弄着笼中的鸟我也没有多说什么只是让春歌去处理后续事宜按照我的吩咐顾廷炫的尸体被草草埋在了城外的一处乱葬岗没有棺果没有祭品没有墓碑与柳依依的责恩相距不远却又遥遥相隔生不能同亲死不能同学这大概是我能给他的最后的仁慈那一年秋天皇兄登基成为新帝
36:33我依旧是家成公主只不过从皇帝的嫡公主变成了皇帝的嫡亲妹妹新帝登基后第一件事就是下旨将成善堂收归朝廷管辖拨银两派官员定章程让这处收留所可以长久地办下去第二件事是将我的婚事提上日程阿姨她坐在御书房里对我道你也老大不小了该成婚了我撇铁嘴皇兄这是嫌我爱事了胡说她瞪我一眼我是怕你一个人孤单
37:02我有父皇母后有皇兄有春歌有穷善堂那些姑娘们哪里孤单啊她叹了口气放下手中的奏折认真的看着我阿姨我知道你经历了那些事对男女之情已经心灰意冷可你总不能无量那两个人的恶行影响你一辈子皇兄我不是比你成婚她打断我我只是希望你能放下放下仇恨也放下过去你还年轻还有很长的路要走这条路不该只有你一个人走我承诺了不是还对男女之情有什么心结
37:14我觉得这样就挺好我有父皇母后有皇兄有春歌有穷善堂那些姑娘们我有事做有人陪有盼头我不需要靠一个男人来圆满我的人生My

43:32past his hand at kale thin as paper pale
43:35as death a cursed heir the entire pack
43:37had already buried and still he was the
43:39only man in that room who had asked for
43:40my answer not my blood not my obedience
43:43not my usefulness my answer so i stepped
43:46around damon's hand his smile vanished
43:48lyra's face changed the hall went silent
43:50i walked toward kale every step felt like
43:52i was cutting a rope around my throat
43:54damon's voice snapped behind me
43:55seraphina i didn't stop girl think
43:58carefully i did for the first time all
44:00night i did then i stopped in front of
44:02kale he looked down at me gray eyes steady
44:04what you said does it still stand my
44:07hands were still shaking but my answer
44:09did not yes the hall exploded kale did
44:11not look at damon did not look at moira
44:13only me then i claim her a few elders
44:16half froze then froze because a claim
44:18spoken and accepted before the right could
44:20not be taken back damon laughed loud
44:22enough for the whole hall to hear go on
44:24brother take her hand are you done
44:26making a scene sarah if you stop now lila
44:29and i might still forgive you you can
44:31still stay where you belong he looked me
44:32up and down lira leaned into him worry
44:35flickering across her face like another
44:36part of the performance the hall went
44:38dead silent kale held out his hand at the
44:40same time i reached for him our fingers
44:42locked the ritual lines blazed white then
44:45black marks burst from beneath kale sleeve
44:48they weren't veins they were his curse black
44:51marks tore up kale's arm coiled around his
44:53throat and climbed toward his face like
44:54something alive the hall gasped for one
44:57second the gray in his eyes vanished
44:58replaced by molten gold something caged
45:01something feral the curse is activating
45:04he can't hold it stop the ceremony the
45:06elders surged forward but the ritual lines
45:08had already locked around our wrists once
45:10a bond began no one outside it could break
45:12it kale's hand tightened around mine too
45:14tight his knees buckled he hit the altar
45:17hard blood spilling from his mouth onto the
45:19silver stone the hall went silent kale looked
45:21up at me gold flickering through the gray
45:23let go if you stop now you'll still make
45:26it out he meant it even half dying in front
45:28of the entire pack he was still trying to
45:30give me a way out daemon stepped forward
45:32are you insane i already told you sarah if
45:36you stop this now lyra and i can still
45:39forgive you i didn't look at him daemon's
45:41tone sharpened don't throw your life away
45:42just to prove a point still i did not look
45:45at him my fingers tightened around
45:46kale's the curse burned black between us
45:48every wolf in that hall was waiting for me
45:50to let go instead i leaned closer
45:52kale get me then without looking away from
45:55him i reached for the silver edge of the
45:57altar
45:59i didn't let go with kale's eyes locked on
46:01mine i dragged my palm across the altar
46:03silver edge pain cut sharp silver blood
46:05spilled over my skin the entire hall gasped
46:08before anyone could stop me i pressed my
46:10bleeding hand against the darkest knot of
46:12curse marks on kale's wrist light exploded
46:14between us cold and blinding violent enough
46:16to shake the altar beneath us kale's body
46:18arched and a broken sound tore from his
46:20throat the curse fought back under my
46:22palm black marks twisting up his skin
46:24fighting to reach his throat again so i
46:26pressed harder stay with me the black
46:28mark stopped then slowly unwillingly they
46:31began to retreat the ritual lines beneath
46:33our feet blazed white hot spiraling
46:35around our joined wrists until a pale
46:37silver mark burned itself into both our
46:38skin the bond didn't fail it held kale
46:41collapsed to one knee blood still on his
46:43lips but the gold was leaving his eyes
46:45gray was coming back he was alive the
46:47oldest elder stared at our wrists the
46:49bond is sealed by old law seraphina of
46:52silver blood is now claimed by kale
46:55firstborn heir of silver crest a sharp
46:57crack split the altar stone the royal
46:59right mark that had held damon's name
47:01beside mine burned black then vanished in
47:03its place a new name carved itself into the
47:05silver light kale damon's face went white
47:08he forced out a laugh he's still cursed you
47:11think your blood makes him stronger than me
47:13before i could answer the silver mark on my
47:15wrist flared again so did kale's the
47:17ritual light shifted it no longer circled
47:20me alone it moved around him the elder's
47:22face drained of color the blood accepted
47:24him the hall went silent damon stopped
47:25breathing the prophecy had not died it had
47:28moved on the hall stayed silent kale was
47:31still on one knee blood on his lips one
47:33hand braced against the altar but his grip
47:35on me never loosened the silver mark on my
47:37wrist pulsed once his answered damon
47:39finally found his voice this isn't over
47:41the oldest elder looked at the burned royal
47:43right mark then at our joint hands damon's
47:45face hardened he can barely stand kale slowly
47:48lifted his head through the bond i felt the
47:50pain he was hiding sharp enough to cut
47:51through bone then he rose not easily not
47:54steadily but he rose then watch me no one
47:56laughed this time moira stepped forward at
47:58once kale you need healers
48:00serafina will remain here until the council
48:03decides what happens next kale looked at
48:05her no one word low and final the hall froze
48:08moira's expression tightened this is not the
48:10time for pride no one decides for my mate a
48:12shiver moved through the room for 13 years
48:14they had spoken around him like he was already
48:16dead tonight he did not raise his voice but
48:18every wolf in that hall heard the command
48:20beneath it move the wolves blocking the aisle
48:23stepped aside damon stared at me like he still
48:25expected me to look back lyra's fingers dug into
48:27his sleeve i did not turn kale led me out of the
48:29hall each step costing him more than he let
48:31anyone see only when the doors closed behind us
48:34did his hand tighten around mine his voice dropped
48:36now ask me what you really want to ask
48:40kale had set it outside the hall his hand
48:42still wrapped around mine for one second the
48:44question almost escaped me right there but
48:46then he swayed just once pain cut through his
48:48grip so i swallowed the words and followed
48:50him to the north tower no one stopped us no
48:52one dared his quarters were cold and almost
48:54bare a narrow bed a heavy desk maps pinned
48:57neatly to the walls no flowers no servants
48:59nothing prepared for a bride but everything was
49:01clean the bed was made sharp the books were
49:04aligned straight even the medicine bottles stood in order
49:06kale had been forgotten here but he had not let himself fall apart for the first
49:09time that night no one was watching no elders
49:12no pack no damon no lyra just me and the cursed
49:15heir who had become my mate kale removed his black outer robe and set it aside
49:18without it he looked even thinner too pale too tired a man the curse had been
49:22eating alive for years he leaned one hand against the desk ask my fingers curled into my sleeves did you
49:27know
49:28that my blood could help you did you claim me because you wanted me
49:33or because my blood can keep you alive
49:35kale went very still for one breath i thought he would deny it then he looked at me
49:38i don't want to lie to you and suddenly i knew whatever came next was going to hurt
49:44kale did not look away that was how i knew the answer before he said it yes i knew your
49:48silver
49:49blood might hold back my curse for a moment i could not speak damon wanted an heir the elders
49:53wanted a prophecy and kale wanted a cure i stepped back before i could stop myself kale saw it but
49:58he
49:58did not follow if i only wanted your blood i could have asked for you years ago maybe you waited
50:02until
50:03i had nowhere else to go the words came out smaller than i wanted his face changed not anger something
50:08worse because he knew i had the right to think it maybe i deserve that the fire cracked between us
50:12i
50:12hated that he sounded honest i hated that honesty still hurt then why tonight because damon made you
50:17stand alone and i know what that feels like my fingers twisted in my sleeves for a second i forgot
50:22how to answer because he wasn't asking me to pity him he was telling me he had seen me if
50:27i stay
50:27it won't be because you need me i know if i help you it doesn't mean you get to use
50:33me no never the
50:35room went quiet i looked at the place beneath his shirt where the curse had almost killed him in front
50:39of everyone my hands were still shaking but my voice came out clear you claimed me before the whole pack
50:45so show me seraphina show me the curse
50:50kale did not move for a long moment then he loosened the ties of his shirt the fabric fell open
50:55the curse mark sat at the center of his chest dark red against bone pale skin coiled like something
50:59alive beneath his flesh i had seen blood on him i had seen him collapse at the altar but this
51:04was worse
51:04the curse was not just sealing his wolf it was feeding on him my fingers curled once before i forced
51:09them still i need to touch it seraphina you claimed me before the whole pack do not hide from me
51:15now
51:16for one beat i thought he would refuse then he gave a single nod i pressed my palm flat against
51:20the mark
51:21his whole body locked heat slammed into my hand sharp and violent not mine his my silver blood answered
51:26instantly and something inside him answered back i felt it hit the seal once twice a wolf trapped behind
51:31iron throwing itself against the dark kale's breath broke gold flashed through his gray eyes your wolf is
51:36still there his chest rose hard beneath my hand it's not gone i feel it every day gold bled through
51:41his eyes again like fire under ice then his grip tightened and this time when he said my name it
51:46did not sound entirely human i didn't even see him move one second i was standing in front of him
51:52my palm pressed to his chest the next my back hit the bed kale was above me one hand braced
51:57by my ear
51:58the other locking around my wrist breathing like he'd been dragged up from deep water the curse mark
52:02blazed under my palm its edges lit up spreading outward like cracks in burning glass his eyes were
52:06wrong i could feel this wolf pressing against the bond like it wanted to tear through his skin to
52:10reach me his pupils narrowed jaw clenched so hard i could hear his teeth grind stop touching me
52:16if you keep going he didn't finish because the bond pulsed i felt it his wolf trapped behind that seal
52:21slamming toward my hand with everything it had kale stared down at me half broken half feral every muscle
52:26in his body was locked tight holding himself back even like this he still wasn't hurting me then kale kissed
52:31me
52:31not softly not carefully like the bond had finally pulled too hard for either of us to pretend it
52:36was only a ritual the mark beneath my palm flared white gold kale's body lock his eyes flashed full
52:40gold for one terrifying second i saw what had been trapped inside him for 13 years not the cursed prince
52:46the wolf then the room burst into light when the light faded kale was on the floor beside the bed
52:52unconscious the curse mark on his chest had split straight down the center for one
52:56the word the king of the king of the king of the king of the king of the king of
