Short filmTranscript
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,家关禁绝,我孤苦飘零,魂有所欲,再次争面,我回到了他赠我玉佩之时,我欣然接受,转手将玉佩赠一祭祖,这一时,不玩死他们算我输,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,
00:29但他这一生,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,
00:58发出了声音刺耳尖,顾婷炫,说我能报仇,我定于你不死不休,可随后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,我只觉手心一片冰凉
01:27,睁开眼,
01:28手中赫然躺着一枚玉佩,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
01:35,见我发愣,顾婷炫再次开口,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,即使阿玄所夫
01:46,我定日日佩戴在身上,听到我这么说,顾婷炫的眼门中闪过得逞过后的真实的笑语,玉佩代表着顾夫对殿下的情意
01:54,还望殿下妥善报告,
01:56我点头英氏,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
02:09,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,还发现了我被夺射后的异常,因此被柳依依折磨至死,
02:15玉佩,可是受什么伪情了?不是
02:19,回宫吧,另外,帮我找个冰死之人,要身份卑贱
02:26,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
02:31?这辈子,身世荣华爱情,他们一个也别想得到
02:39,我要让他们渴求的一切都化为虚无,
02:45在我手中求生不得,求死不能。我知道
02:48,十日之后便是上辈子我被夺舍的日子,所以让他们抓紧时间为我寻找合适之人
02:54,当他们带着一丁死的妓子来寻我时
02:56,到底犯了难?殿下,这穷娘是青楼的妓子,大夫说药食无医
03:01,就在这几天了,怕患的乃是脏病
03:03,灵雾要上前,免得污了您的眼睛。他们寻遍京城
03:06,只找到了这一个与我所要相符的,
03:09那女子满脸脏乌,但也一心能看出来,是个清秀之人
03:13,我驱散所有人,走到她面前蹲下
03:15,讲述了我寻她的意愿,我知道被人夺舍的痛苦
03:18,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。那女子听完面无波澜
03:24,只睁开眼睛,像老朽般毫无生机,直问了一句
03:27,用完这身子之后,可否一把火烧?见我疑惑
03:33,她自嘲一笑,
03:40免得让我那黑心肝的父母和弟弟拿她去配了阴慧,让我在地下也要牢牢受他们的掌控。我被他们绑了脉到清了
03:43,已经被他们毁了一辈子,我想死了也要被他们榨干我的骨洗
03:47,我不甘心。她生如老玉
03:49,只在提到父母兄弟时,戴上了咬牙切齿的恨意
03:52,我听明白了,你可愿报仇。听到报仇二字
03:56,那女子像是用尽全身力气
03:58,一把抓住了我的手臂。
04:00我点头我是公主,你想要的一切
04:05,我都会是我最后能为她做我的。顾廷炫赠我玉佩
04:09,只言明说是给顾府日后的当家主母的。上辈子的我爱慕她
04:11,剑主虽然心中欢喜,当即便将玉佩佩戴在了身上。可我没想到
04:15,不过时日,我便魂魄离体,而顾廷炫搂着我
04:21,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
04:23,在她游进灯窟,
04:24而顾廷炫求一无果后,她便听从一个妖道的话
04:27,动了夺赦的念头。她为她担惊截律
04:30,亲自挑选了三百位女子
04:31,可不是家世不好,便是容貌不够出挑
04:34,又怕到时难过我这一段。自来想去
04:37,顾廷炫便堵了把大的
04:40,把目光放在了我身上。我是地后膝下唯一的敌公主
04:41,身份尊贵,容貌毅力
04:43,断然不会委屈了她的青梅
04:45,又与她有婚约在身,名正言顺,
04:47所以她将那妖道给的幻魂玉相赠,做法将柳一一的魂魄
04:52,冲进了我的身体。而柳一一的躯体生死
04:54,我魂无所依
04:55,我被人夺赦,本不该生死
04:57,又无鬼拆来所我的命
05:01,于是变成了日日飘荡的孤魂野鬼。只能怀着仇恨
05:02,看着这对狗男女恩爱相守
05:04,借着我的身份,踩着我的蜜
05:06,享受着原本属于我的一切。上辈子,我与父母阴阳两格
05:10,为了不让父皇母后看出破绽,
05:12她减少了难人与他们的接触,除去必要的宫验
05:15,顾廷炫很少让她进宫
05:17,父皇母后私女心切,顾廷炫便让她生下来的孩子
05:20,进宫陪伴二老
05:21,那是从我的身体里淡欲的寒
05:23,长相与我极其相似
05:24,父皇母后爱乌极乌,极其疼爱着两个身上融着我骨血的孩子。即使后来父皇让位皇兄
05:30,也依旧让皇兄为孩子们封绝
05:32,上辈子的嘉诚公主一生孙荣
05:34,唯一可惜的便是红颜薄命,
05:36不过三十岁便相消欲,驸马顾廷炫与她一生一世一双人
05:41,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
05:47,活成了京城绝大多数贵女心中艳羡的对象
05:49,我把幻魂玉放在了穷娘身边
05:51,让人把她安置好,顾廷炫和柳依依既想要不劳而获
05:54,那便承受抢夺他人身躯带来的后果吧,我倒要看看
05:58,这一辈子同公主变成妓子,
06:00顾廷炫和柳依依还能否像上辈子那样,恩爱相守
06:03,由于要处理穷娘的事情
06:06,我回宫便晚了些,正好碰到了从母后宫里出来的皇兄
06:09,见我晚归,他扮起脸训斥
06:11,怎么这么晚才回来,成何体统,我从小便跟在皇兄身边
06:15,知道他是个面冷心软的性子
06:17,他从小被当作储君培养
06:19,被太父教育的不苟言笑
06:21,我时常跟父皇母后嘟闹
06:22,皇兄是没有白胡子的太父
06:24,偶尔也觉得他管我态度太严,
06:26可相隔十几年,如今再听到这熟悉的话
06:29,在我还没反应过来时,眼泪便舒然落下
06:32,皇兄吓得灯时变了脸色
06:33,站在我面前手足无措
06:35,你莫哭,皇兄,皇兄没有兄弟
06:38,我只是怕你受伤,我一边擦泪一边笑
06:42,我知道,我什么都知道
06:44,而父皇母后不知何时从店内出来
06:46,见我哭泣
06:47,以为是皇兄欺了我
06:48,当要开口训斥,便被我哭了个满怀
06:50,什么公主
06:51,什么礼仪规矩,
06:52此刻通通一边去,我只是
06:55,只是离开父母太久的女儿
06:56,我只是太想念他们了,与父母兄长温情一番后
07:00,我回到了自己的朝阳宫
07:01,我并没有将今日之事告知他们,因为我知道
07:04,按照父皇的脾气,告诉他恐怕就直接把顾廷炫拖出去砍了
07:08,可我不想让他死得那么容易,朝阳宫离得近
07:11,我回去使东赫正坐在椅子上
07:13,指挥着一些低等级的宫女菜间做事
07:15,春歌与东赫都是我身边事后的一等宫女
07:18,春歌温厚善良
07:19,忠心不二,
07:20负责我的饮食起居,而东赫心思缜密
07:23,善管理,便负责朝阳宫的公务
07:25,见我回来
07:26,他从椅子上起身,殿下今日与我们的准复马
07:30,相谈如何
07:31?我并未回答,而是似笑非笑地瞧着他
07:34,来人,把东赫拖下去,杖毙
07:39,来人,把东赫拖下去
07:43,杖毙,是
07:45,我话说出口,不仅朝阳宫的宫人
07:47,就连春歌也愣了
07:49,殿下,
07:50你莫不是开玩笑呢,东赫反应过来
07:53,先前脸上的细血玩笑
07:54,尽数消失,取而代之的是
07:56,无尽的恐慌惊句
07:57,他啪啪一声跪离
07:58,殿下,东赫静静夜夜为您打理公务
08:02,今日不知是哪里得罪了,给杖手段给了东赫一巴掌
08:06,我竟不知
08:07,你已经想和本宫做姐妹,东赫趴在地上
08:10,听到我的话脸,刷了一下坦白
08:12,上辈子的柳依依,哪怕尽量减少入宫次数,
08:15还是免不了让面见地后,东赫从小伺候我
08:18,对我的喜好了如指掌
08:20,顾廷炫用驸马窃士的位置
08:22,又哄他入局设计我,东赫从小伺候我
08:25,对我的喜好了如指掌,顾廷炫用驸马窃士的位置
08:28,又哄他入局设计我
08:29,又让他说出我的喜好,助柳依依过我父皇母后那一段
08:32,永宁侯府的爵位三代世袭,到顾廷炫这里
08:35,正好是第三代,他想延续顾家的荣耀
08:38,便把主意打到我身上,
08:46他对我隐瞒了于柳依依的事情,但我对他一见钟情
08:49,这才有了父皇赐婚的圣旨
08:50,他野心太大,看上了我的地位,为人骄傲
08:53,却不得不在我身边伏地作小
08:55,他的自尊心受到了哲辱
08:57,便越发不喜欢我
08:58,这才想到了夺赦的法子,一个听话乖巧
09:01,又身份尊贵的妻子
09:03,才是他终生所求
09:04,这才想到了夺赦的法子
09:06,一个听话乖巧
09:07,又身份尊贵的妻子
09:08,才是他终生所求
09:10,事已至此,
09:11东赫岂会不知,我已经知道了全部
09:13,他面色灰白
09:14,抖着唇朝我爬过来
09:16,声味俱下的求饶,他说是顾婷炫引诱他
09:19,一切都是顾婷炫的错
09:20,我蹲下身,掐住他的下巴,以他平视
09:23,他顾婷心日后要伺候本宫
09:25,都只能说驸马事情
09:28,没有本宫的准许
09:30,谁给他的胆子纳气
09:33,东赫,你自小长在本宫身边,眼皮子就这么浅吗
09:38,你被蛊惑是真,
09:39可要害我也是真,念在你自小陪我一起长大的分上
09:44,便给你留个全尸吧,你被蛊惑是真
09:47,可要害我也是真,念在你自小陪我一起长大的分上
09:52,便给你留个全尸吧
09:54,东赫最后选了一杯毒酒
09:55,我亲眼看着他在我眼前的气息
09:57,吩咐下去,今天张阳公的事情
10:01,若是有人敢向外透露一星半点
10:03,东赫的今日,便是他们的明日,春哥得知了事情的真相
10:07,戏得浑身发颤,
10:08退到赤里扒外的东西,当真可恨
10:11,那殿下接下来要怎么做
10:13,接下来,我让人悄无声息地处理了东赫的尸体
10:15,再找人模仿他的笔记
10:17,给顾廷炫通风报信,杀鸡紧猴之后
10:20,如今朝阳公人人风声鹤唳
10:21,都自觉闭紧了嘴巴
10:23,就这么持续的几日,顾廷炫让人给东赫叠了消息
10:26,他们要动手了,杀鸡紧猴之后
10:29,如今朝阳公人人风声鹤唳
10:30,都自觉闭紧了嘴巴,
10:32就这么持续的几日,顾廷炫让人给东赫叠了消息
10:35,他们要动手了,我按照消息上的时间,在这一日十分配合地
10:39,莫名其妙地晕了过去
10:40,与此同时,金钟一个六品观人家的女儿并故
10:43,被太医医治一天一夜之后
10:45,我悠悠转醒,顾廷炫比任何人都积极地挤到我床前
10:49,握着我的手
10:49,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
10:54,一边用眼神示意他的身后,
10:58守在我床前的还有父皇母后和皇兄,父皇母后以为他紧张我
11:00,对于他此番失礼的行为倒也没说什么
11:03,我学着上辈子柳一一的神情,盯着他看了我
11:06,就是不说话,他瞧着我略微醋眉
11:08,怎么了,我有些委屈的开口
11:10,我想吃柏花糕
11:11,就是不说话,他瞧着我略微醋眉
11:14,怎么了
11:14,我有些委屈的开口
11:16,我想吃柏花糕
11:17,顾廷炫瞳孔皱缩
11:18,柏花糕的主要原料是牡丹花,
11:20而柳一一对牡丹花过敏,我很明显地感觉到
11:24,顾廷炫握着我的手开始发抖
11:26,阿炫,你可是冷了,反应过来的顾廷炫撑的便甩开了我的手
11:30,随后意识到此举过期
11:31,方的立刻解释
11:32,臣臣只是过分担忧公主殿下,父皇母后此刻没有心情关注他
11:37,全都错过来关切地问东问西
11:39,倒是皇兄看着他若有所思
11:41,再次经过太医诊脉,得出我没有什么事情后
11:44,他们才彻底放心,
11:45离开朝阳宫却处理政务了,走之前
11:48,顾廷炫旁敲侧击地问我
11:50,前几日,陈送给公主的玉佩,可还佩在身上
11:53,我母亲想着过几日进宫来向您问安
11:55,若她见您佩戴定是欢喜
11:57,陈送给公主的玉佩
11:59,可还佩在身上,我母亲想着过几日进宫来向您问安
12:02,若她见您佩戴定是欢喜
12:04,我从枕头下拿出一枚玉佩
12:06,与顾廷炫送我的玉佩极其相似
12:08,只是成色不一样,
12:18拿出玉佩子子细细地瞧了一眼,随后满目愧疚地看向正死死冰着我手里玉佩的顾廷炫
12:21,阿炫,忘记跟你说了,在你送我玉佩之前,皇兄也曾赠过我一枚玉佩
12:25,当日你送我玉佩之后
12:27,我在回宫的路上碰到一个乞丐
12:28,我让人把皇兄赠的玉佩送给他
12:30,让他换了银子给自己治病,当时天色已晚
12:33,我看不清,孔氏将你赠的玉佩当成皇兄赠的,
12:37让他换了银子给自己治病,当时天色已晚
12:40,我看不清,孔氏将你赠的玉佩当成皇兄赠的
12:43,听完我的话
12:44,不停炫还有什么不明白的,他气得额头青筋抱起
12:48,却不敢指责我将他的玉佩送给乞丐
12:50,只能站起身,斥责我不敬皇兄
12:54,殿下怎能将太子送您的礼物随意分给乞丐呢
12:55,说殿下真想救命,大可给他一只簪子,一方手帕
12:59,都是可以换钱救命的东西
13:01,我被他斥责以后万分委屈,
13:02可还没等我开口,皇兄先开了口
13:04,不过是死务罢了
13:06,嘉诚就是多掉姑也不在乎
13:07,倒是顾公主,你见怨了
13:09,顾廷炫忙下跪请罪
13:11,那玉佩配是皇家之物
13:12,臣只怕,既是皇家遇刺
13:14,那姑会让父皇再次一玉佩配给顾服
13:16,嘉诚累了
13:17,你且退下吧,既是皇家遇刺
13:20,那姑会让父皇再次一玉佩配给顾服
13:22,嘉诚累了
13:23,你且退下吧
13:24,皇兄打断了顾廷炫的话,
13:26让他早点出宫,再不甘心
13:28,顾廷炫也只能安分告退
13:30,他太过自信,以至于都没有发现东赫的消失
13:33,顾廷炫走后
13:34,皇兄坐到我床前,你到底在做什么
13:36?是的,他根本就没有赠过我玉佩
13:38,是我让人连夜去做
13:40,借用了皇兄的名义罢了
13:41,迎着皇兄叛咎的目光
13:43,我深吸一口气,将顾廷炫的阴谋和盘托出
13:46,而皇兄气得手捏得搁置作响
13:48,顾廷炫他放肆,妹妹别怕,
13:50哥哥这就让父皇下令,把永宁侯抚恤就抄家
13:54,我的心里涌过一阵暖流,就知道他会是这个反应
13:57,于是连忙拽住了他的衣袖
13:59,可这种死罚起飞便宜了他
14:00,我的心里涌过一阵暖流,就知道他会是这个反应
14:04,于是连忙拽住了他的衣袖
14:06,可这种死罚起飞便宜了他
14:07,皇兄,让我自己做吧
14:09,我能把这件事处理好,他敢把这种阴邪之法用到我的身上
14:13,那我必须要让他付出代价,
14:14我把计划向皇兄和盘托出,让他暂时替我瞒着父皇母后
14:19,为了不让顾廷炫生疑,他还去求父皇赐下一枚玉佩
14:22,当作因我的失误而向顾家赔罪
14:24,一时间,京城权贵都知道,不仅家城公主及爱慕顾廷炫
14:29,就连皇帝和太子都对顾廷炫亲眼有加
14:34,而顾廷炫一边活在被众人高高捧起的虚假繁荣之中
14:35,一边焦急的满京城寻找我口中的乞丐
14:38,毕竟,
14:39那可是从小陪他一起长大的青梅啊,毕竟
14:42,那可是从小陪他一起长大的青梅啊
14:44,听说柳依依在穷阳的身体里醒来之后
14:47,不敢相信自己如今的处境,每日不是喊着自己是家城公主
14:50,便是官员家的小姐,更发疯一般的要去寻找顾廷炫
14:54,他说他是永明侯世子的心智所爱
14:56,上辈子我变成游魂之后
14:58,才知道使用幻魂欲夺赦,并不是万无一失
15:01,幻魂欲虽可以更换灵魂
15:03,可如若远主意志强大,
15:09竟谎称我生病,但我的父皇母后送来的指尖血混进朱砂
15:12,让柳依依佩戴,至亲骨肉的血
15:14,避护了夺走我身体的柳依依
15:16,也彻底断绝了我生存的基础
15:18,但我的命格与柳依依相克,他无法承载我的命格
15:21,也彻底断绝了我生存的基础
15:23,但我的命格与柳依依相克
15:25,他无法承载我的命格
15:27,仍旧要承载阴邪之术带来的后果
15:29,最终还是落了个逢严薄命的结局,
15:40无人与他抢夺穷娘的身躯,虽不知两人命格是否相克
15:42,可对我来说确实足够了
15:44,我瞧着底下人上报来的内容
15:46,吃笑一声,随手把纸丢在了蜡烛上
15:48,既是心之所爱
15:50,那本宫怎能阻挡心爱之人相见呢
15:52?我让人撤了对柳依依的监禁
15:54,再把顾婷炫的消息透露给他,第二日
15:56,驸马当街与青龙女子拉扯不亲的消息
15:59,便传遍了京城,这一日,
16:02我与春哥早早等在了顾婷炫会出现的路上,这一日
16:07,我与春哥早早等在了顾婷炫会出现的路上
16:08,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
16:13,她扑到顾婷炫身上
16:14,声泪俱下地喊道,炫哥哥,我是依依啊,顾婷炫脸色一变
16:18,看见她的惨状眸中浮现心疼之色
16:21,她正要扶起柳依依
16:22,便听到了一伙人远远地喊叫,
16:24她是去春楼偷跑出来的妓子,身上染了病
16:26,莫要脏了大人的跪屁
16:28,来人喊的声音之大,半条街的人都能听见
16:31,远远的,我看见顾婷炫的脸扭曲一瞬
16:34,眼中闪过嫌弃之色
16:37,伸出去的要扶柳依依的手也尬在了原地
16:38,扶不是,不扶也不是,最终只能咬咬牙
16:41,伸出一只手把柳依依扶稳
16:43,并默默拉开了距离,最终只能咬咬牙,
16:46伸出一只手把柳依依扶稳,并默默拉开了距离
16:49,柳依依发现了她的举动
16:51,东窥大喊,你嫌弃我,你嫌弃我是不是
16:54,炫哥哥,我是你的依依啊
16:56,我是柳修专家的小姐啊
16:57,不,我是公主,我是家成公主啊
17:00,顾婷炫听她这样喊
17:01,立刻怒斥,哪里来的疯子
17:03,竟敢直呼公主封号,柳依依不可置信地看着顾婷炫
17:07,可没等她继续喊,
17:08来抓她的最春楼的老宝,便穷凶极恶地给了她一巴掌
17:11,恶狠狠地道,为了给你治病,花了我最春楼多少银子
17:14,见蹄子,居然还敢跑
17:16,看老杨不打死你
17:17,随后一群人涌上来,对着柳依依拳打脚踢
17:21,顾婷炫到底看不下去
17:22,出声制止了他们的行为
17:24,随后一群人涌上来
17:26,对着柳依依拳打脚踢
17:28,顾婷炫到底看不下去,出声制止了他们的行为,
17:31围观的老百姓,也开始纷纷出声赞扬顾婷炫
17:34,到底是一条人命,这位大人心地良善,会有好报的
17:37,去看够了,我让春哥抱了一些灵转
17:40,装作偶遇的样子出现
17:41,我十分惊讶
17:42,人的恶心
17:43,轻易地拉近了与他的距离
17:44,阿炫怎么在这儿,顾婷炫没想到我会出现
17:47,极力压制眼中的慌乱
17:49,我偶然路过这里
17:50,见这群人在殴打这名女子,看不下去出声制止罢了
17:53,这里脏屋,
18:01我却夸赞顾婷炫,眼神落在柳依依身上
18:03,阿炫当真是良善之人,事到如今
18:06,我却夸赞顾婷炫
18:08,眼神落在柳依依身上
18:09,阿炫当真是良善之人,事到如今
18:12,柳依依只会看不出我的身份
18:14,他趴在地上,愿毒地看着与顾婷炫举止亲密的我
18:17,眼底一片星红
18:19,疯狂地朝我扑了过来,就被我身边的护卫拦住
18:21,是你,是你夺走了我的身份
18:23,是你夺走了我的一切,
18:33只能眼睁睁地看着柳依依讲出了这种风话,看来顾婷炫对自己的计划十分自信
18:37,平时没少给柳依依�述说计划成功后的美满生活
18:39,这才让柳依依执念颇深,近扑蜂魔,我淡淡一笑
18:42,当真是个疯子,顾婷炫本来汗流加倍
18:45,听到我的话后立刻顺杆爬
18:47,这种风话免得污了殿下的耳朵
18:49,顾婷炫本来汗流加倍
18:51,听到我的话后立刻顺杆爬,
18:53这种风话免得污了殿下的耳朵,我回宫之后
18:58,让人添油加醋地把顾婷炫今日之事到处宣扬
18:59,听说柳依依后来干脆破罐子破摔,跑到永宁侯府门前撒泼打滚地说自己与顾婷炫已私定终身
19:06,要让顾婷炫为自己负责,而顾婷炫则直接让人把柳依依捆了
19:10,扔回了最春楼,并对外宣称自己从未踏足最春楼,自己只是受到了污蔑而已,
19:15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
19:22,很快,参奏顾婷炫的奏折便像雪花一样飞到了父皇的御案之上
19:25,父皇斥责顾婷炫败坏皇家名声
19:27,而我也拒绝见顾婷炫,不得已,他只能再次给冬鹤传递消息
19:32,消息里除了几句酸言酸语之外,而我也拒绝见顾婷炫
19:35,不得已,他只能再次给冬鹤传递消息,
19:38消息里除了几句酸言酸语之外,便是寻论我如今对他的看法
19:43,毕竟失了幻魂玉这枚棋子
19:44,他便只能依照原来的计划做我的驸马
19:46,我让人回复他,就说本公很伤心,但还是相信他
19:50,希望他能平行眼下的舆论
19:52,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
19:56,很快,我便知道了答案
20:00,前去暗杀柳依依的人尽数被我的暗卫控制
20:01,他这段日子不是被青楼老宝打,
20:03就是被穷娘的父女兄弟侮辱打罢,如今再被人追杀
20:07,此刻缩在墙角
20:08,目光呆滞,已经被吓到尸尽
20:10,我让人留活口
20:11,当着柳依依的面
20:12,供出了顾平炫这个幕后指使之人
20:14,我嘲讽地看着他,当着柳依依的面
20:17,供出了顾平炫这个幕后指使之人
20:19,我嘲讽地看着他
20:20,自自助心,你心心念念的少年郎
20:22,不仅为了前途用阴损之法,害你们为公人玩乐的忌妥,
20:25现在还要杀了你,他日后娶妻生子平不清云
20:28,却害得你永多地狱,柳依依
20:30,你担心吗,他不担心
20:32,所以他在这个流血的黑夜痛哭
20:34,恨得咬牙切齿
20:35,浑身发抖
20:36,我不会放过他,我不会放过他的,很好
20:39,我要的就是这个效果,我让人把柳依依藏起来
20:42,向顾平炫传达了柳依依已死的消息
20:44,殿下为何不直接顺水推舟
20:46,弄死柳依依呢
20:48,春哥为我打抱不平
20:49,自己动手多没意思,
20:55心急如焚,竟想要约见冬鹤
20:57,我要皇兄压下参作顾平炫的奏折
21:00,顾平炫几日不得召见,心急如焚
21:03,竟想要约见冬鹤,我要皇兄压下参作顾平炫的奏折
21:07,又让冬鹤回他
21:08,我有一求父皇把顾家的侯爵封为公爵
21:12,并让皇兄邀请顾平炫到皇宫来扮生辰宴
21:13,众人都说,这是皇家认可顾平炫的意思
21:16,他解决了禁忧,不需要远虑,
21:18一时间人逢喜识精神爽,走到哪里都高昂着头
21:21,像一只骄傲的孔雀
21:23,生辰宴那天,我甚至用我的名义
21:25,将京城里排的上号的权柜
21:27,全都请到了皇宫,顾平炫穿着一身电蓝色颈袍
21:30,脸上挂着笑意,矜持道
21:32,殿下,这么大的排场
21:33,惩恐他受不起,我拿起一杯酒敬他,怎么会呢
21:37,这些台子本身就是我为你搭的
21:39,没有你这个主角登场
21:40,戏还如何唱下去
21:42,我拿起一杯酒敬他
21:44,怎么会呢,
21:48戏还如何唱下去,身为今天的主角
21:51,顾平炫逐渐被人围住宫围
21:53,只是在不起眼的角落,一个身着宫女服的女子
21:56,正悄悄地向顾平炫靠近
21:58,在所有人都沉浸在寒暄客套的氛围里时
22:00,被女子拿出一把剪刀,精准地刺中了顾平炫的下体
22:04,周遭瞬间安静,随后便是刺耳惊恐的喊声
22:07,原本宫围顾平炫的人此刻全都远离他
22:10,而顾平炫本人想要反抗,抬手,
22:12却发现浑身像被抽干了力气,只能躺在地上
22:16,疼得打滚,我进她的酒里
22:18,放了东西,而那女子
22:19,正是被我安排进来的柳一一
22:21,眼瞧着她发了风
22:22,一般地继续刺她
22:23,我才抬手,让禁卫君慢悠悠地赶过来
22:26,控制住了柳一一
22:27,只能躺在地上,疼得打滚
22:29,我进她的酒里
22:30,放了东西,而那女子,正是被我安排进来的柳一一
22:34,眼瞧着她发了风
22:35,一般地继续刺她,
22:36我才抬手,让禁卫君慢悠悠地赶过来
22:39,控制住了柳一一,而此时顾廷县的变蓝衣袍下摆
22:42,已经被鲜血染红
22:43,她还是不甘心地朝我看来,只成一张一盒,太一
22:47,我分辨之后吃笑一声
22:48,漫不经心地把完着手里遍布裂痕地换回你
22:51,眼看她高楼起
22:52,眼看她宴兵客
22:54,眼看她楼塌了,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,还有顾廷县的父母
23:03,他们听闻儿子今后与太监无异
23:04,哭求父皇,彻查今日之事,顾廷县原本腾晕过去
23:08,我让太一给她医治时服必使用麻沸散
23:10,不过多久她便又活活痛醒
23:12,顾廷县原本腾晕过去
23:14,我让太一给她医治时服必使用麻沸散
23:17,不过多久她便又活活痛醒
23:18,即便如此,她还是强撑着咬牙为自己辨解
23:22,都是柳一一,都是那个贱人害我,殿下,
23:24我是被她用妖术蛊惑的,你要信我啊
23:28,而柳一一一一句也不为自己辩解
23:29,直脸上带着嗜血疯狂的笑
23:31,被拖下去时还嘶吼着,愿得一心人
23:34,白手不相离啊,父皇母后一头雾水
23:36,我与皇兄对视一眼
23:37,让人把那妖道拖了上来
23:39,那妖道如今不过三十岁
23:41,却以身躯钩楼
23:42,虚发皆白,使用换回玉智等因损之法害他忍者
23:45,施法之人须以五十年寿命为代价,
23:48那妖道被找到时平静异常,只说他曾被老侯爷所救
23:52,救命真,自然须以命来还
23:54,那妖道被找到时平静异常
23:56,只说他曾被老侯爷所救
23:58,救命真,自然须以命来还,他所做一切皆不后悔
24:04,我像丢垃圾一般把那幻魂玉扔在妖道的身上
24:05,救命真
24:06,你的救命真,为什么要让我来付出代价
24:08,我只要一想到,我上辈子的悲哀
24:11,竟然是因为与我毫不相干的救命真,
24:13胸膛便开始像滚了开水一般,痛苦难耐
24:16,数十年多孤苦飘零的日日夜夜
24:17,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
24:21,拔出离我最近的禁卫军的刀
24:23,一刀捅进了妖道的心脏,等那妖道的身体倒下时
24:27,我才像重获新生,顾家的人瑟瑟发抖
24:30,而父皇母后满目担忧,皇兄走近我
24:32,声音轻柔,安音乖
24:34,不怕了,再也没有人能伤害你了,
24:36我丢掉手中的刀,皇兄走近我
24:39,声音轻柔
24:40,安音乖,不怕了
24:41,再也没有人能伤害你了
24:43,我丢掉手中的刀
24:44,跪在父皇母后面前,向他们一字一句地
24:47,讲述了顾婷炫的阴谋
24:48,还有我上辈子遭遇了一切
24:50,听到那句指尖血保护了柳依依时
24:52,母后将我抱在怀里,哭成了泪忍
24:55,父皇直接下令,把顾府抄家夺绝
24:57,直系亲属全部流放,守了二十年规矩,
25:00从来端正持重的皇兄,直接亲自上手
25:04,把躺在地上装死的顾婷炫滴溜起来
25:05,一拳又一拳,直至顾婷炫的脸血肉模糊
25:08,我没有让父皇,直接杀了顾婷炫和柳依依
25:11,而是把他们锁在了同一间地牢里,柳依依命不久矣
25:14,而顾婷炫身有残缺
25:16,昔日的青梅竹马,两小无猜的爱意
25:18,在现实前被击的粉碎,而顾婷炫身有残缺
25:22,昔日的青梅竹马,
25:23两小无猜的爱意,在现实前被击的粉碎
25:26,我让牢狱每日给他们用刑
25:28,生痛却不致死,他们两看生艳
25:30,即使自己身负重伤
25:33,也日日用罪恶毒下流的语气攻击对方
25:34,一年之后,柳依依死了
25:36,眼睛瞪得老大,仍旧瞪着顾婷炫的方向
25:39,我去地牢看他时
25:42,他裸露在外的皮肤沾满了血液干涸之后的黑红色夹矿
25:44,由于那玩意儿被剪
25:45,小便失禁,臭不可闻,
25:47像一只被捐在猪圈里的猪,他已然认不懂我
25:51,听说顾婷炫移去尸体待了一个晚上
25:52,第二天精神恍惚,在地牢里又哭又笑
25:55,说什么自己是驻马爷
25:57,是国公爷,说自己有儿有女
25:59,妻妾成群,顾婷炫也有了上辈子的记忆
26:02,从顾婷炫封编的只言片语中
26:04,我知道原来上辈子的嘉诚公主死后
26:06,顾婷炫装过一阵子的伤心欲绝
26:09,他不接受任何人说亲,说是要悼念王妻,
26:12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
26:17,亲自为他定下了一门亲事,顾婷炫以笑道为由推去不得
26:20,自此以后娇妻美切在怀
26:22,面子里子都有了,可谓是真正的人生瑜伽
26:25,可这辈子,却只能日日在暗无天日的牢狱中度过了
26:28,我从来不是什么心善之人
26:30,所以没有让人停止对顾婷炫用刑
26:32,害人者中害己
26:34,他得为此付出代价,穷娘的身体火化的那天
26:37,住在京郊的一家,
26:38无缘无故地彻底失踪,我把穷娘的骨灰摆在那母子三人面前
26:44,逼着他们向苦离一辈子的穷娘叩手紧罪
26:46,最后,当着穷娘的面,把他们全部绞杀,当着穷娘的面
26:50,把他们全部绞杀
26:51,我将穷娘的骨灰随风散了
26:55,让人在各地设立专门收留女子孩童的居所
26:56,并名为穷善讨
26:58,为无数个穷娘这般的女孩子提供庇护
27:00,历史的车轮滚滚向前,我们也该不断进步,
27:03五年后,清明时节的京城
27:05,细雨如丝,我站在京郊的一处山坡上
27:09,手中捧着一壶新样的桃花酒
27:10,春歌撑着油纸散粒在我身后
27:13,轻声问道,殿下,今年可还是将酒撒在此处
27:16,我点点头,将酒缓缓倾倒在脚下的泥土里
27:19,泥土之下
27:20,埋着的是穷娘的骨灰
27:22,五年前,我将她的骨灰随风散去大半
27:25,唯独留下这一小撮
27:26,埋在了这处她生前从未见过,
27:28却风景秀丽的山坡上,五年前
27:32,我将她的骨灰随风散去大半
27:33,唯独留下这一小撮,埋在了这处她生前从未见过
27:36,却风景秀丽的山坡上
27:38,殿下每年都来,那穷善堂的姑娘们可都羡慕了紧呢
27:42,春歌笑道,都说殿下带穷娘姐姐
27:44,比带亲姐妹还要吃
27:46,我将酒壶递给春歌,望着远处山脚下若遗若现的屋舍
27:50,那是五年来我倾注心血溅起的穷善堂,
27:52不是亲姐妹,却胜过亲姐妹
27:54,我说,她用她的身子替我挡了一姐
27:57,这份恩情
27:58,我记一辈子,春歌没有在说话,只是静静陪着我站在雨中
28:02,两久,我转身朝山下走去
28:04,走吧,今日是穷善堂新一批姑娘入堂的日子
28:07,我得去看看,穷善堂建在京郊的一处山坡里
28:11,占地三十名亩,今日是穷善堂新一批姑娘入堂的日子
28:15,我得去看看
28:16,穷善堂建在京郊的一处山坡里,
28:18占地三十名亩,五年前
28:20,我用顾家抄家所得的银两
28:23,向父皇请旨建造了这处收留所
28:24,彼时朝中不少大臣反对,说朝廷从未有过这样的先例
28:28,说收留女子孩童有为组织
28:30,说这是妇人之人,父皇立牌众议
28:32,准了我的请求,五年来,穷善堂收留了376名女子
28:37,129名孩童,有的是被父母卖入青楼的
28:40,有的是被丈夫抛弃的
28:41,有的是逃荒而来的
28:42,有的是被拐卖后奖幸逃脱的,
28:45他们在这里学识字,学刺绣
28:47,学医术
28:47,学一切能让他们活下去的本事
28:49,他们中的103人,已经从这里走出去了
28:52,学刺绣,学医术
28:54,学一切能让他们活下去的本事
28:56,他们中的103人
28:58,已经从这里走出去了
28:59,我到穷善堂时,堂里的管事
29:01,正带着新来的姑娘们熟悉环境
29:03,见我进来,管事连忙行礼
29:05,参见公主殿下,那些新来的姑娘们有老有少
29:08,有胖有瘦
29:09,有脸上带着疤痕的,
29:11有眼神空洞麻木的,他们骑刷刷跪了一地
29:13,有的偷偷抬头看我,有的把头埋得更低
29:16,都起来吧,我说,在这里不用跪
29:19,他们战战兢兢地站起来
29:20,没人敢说话
29:21,我走到一个看起来不过123岁的小姑娘面前
29:24,她瘦的皮包骨头
29:25,脸上有新鲜的巴掌力
29:27,我蹲下身
29:28,轻声问她,你叫什么名字,她咬着嘴唇
29:31,不说话,旁边的管事低声道
29:33,回殿下,
29:34这丫头是被她爹娘卖进窑子的,还没接客就跑了出来
29:37,被咱们的人捡到
29:38,旁边的管事低声道
29:40,回殿下,这丫头是被她爹娘卖进窑子的
29:42,还没接客就跑了出来
29:44,被咱们的人捡到,她爹娘追来要人
29:46,被咱们打发了,这丫头自打来了之后
29:49,一句话都没说过,我看着这个小姑娘
29:51,她眼睛里没有任何神采
29:53,像一潭水,我突然想起五年前的穷羊
29:56,那时候她躺在那张破旧的床上
29:58,眼神也是这般,
29:59咬无声许,你恨不恨
30:01,我轻声问她
30:02,她依旧不说话
30:03,但眼眶红了,恨就对了
30:05,我站起身,对管事说
30:07,给她找个好大夫看看伤
30:08,再找个会说话的姐姐陪着她
30:10,什么时候她想开口了
30:11,就让她开口,不想开口
30:13,就不开口,说完,我转身对所有人道
30:16,你们来到这里,从前的事就都过去了
30:18,那些卖你们的
30:19,打你们的,抛弃你们的
30:21,以后都与你们无关
30:22,从前的事就都过去了
30:24,那些卖你们的,
30:25打你们的,抛弃你们的
30:27,以后都与你们无关
30:28,你们只需要记住一件事
30:30,我看着他们,一字一句道
30:32,你们是人,不是货物
30:33,你们活着,不是为了伺候男人
30:35,不是为了生儿育女
30:37,不是为了给别人当牛做马
30:38,你们活着
30:39,是为了自己,那天晚上
30:41,我没有回宫,而是在穷善堂住下了
30:43,夜深人静时,我坐在窗前
30:45,看着外面的月光出神
30:47,门被轻轻敲响
30:48,进来的是春歌
30:49,他关着热茶
30:50,轻声道,殿下,
30:55犹豫了一下,道
30:56,殿下
30:57,有件事
30:57,说,地牢那边传来消息
31:00,护停炫
31:00,快不行吗,我端起茶盏的手顿了顿
31:03,说,地牢那边传来消息
31:05,护停炫
31:06,快不行吗,我端起茶盏的手顿了顿
31:08,随即若无其事地瞎了一口
31:10,太医怎么说,太医说
31:12,她那伤脱了五年
31:13,如今伤口溃烂入骨
31:14,要食无一了,最多,也就这几日的事
31:17,我将茶盏放下,
31:18望着窗外的月光,五年了
31:20,五年来
31:21,我从未去地牢看过她
31:23,不是我心软,而是我怕自己
31:25,看到她那个样子
31:26,会忍不住亲手杀了她
31:27,我要她活着,活着受罪
31:29,活着生不如死,可如今听说她要死了
31:32,我心中却并无半分快意
31:34,她想见您,春哥小心翼翼地说
31:36,这几日她清醒的时候
31:37,一直在喊您的名字,御族问她有什么事
31:40,她说,想见您最后一面,既然我做什么
31:43,我冷笑,求我饶她一命
31:45,这个,
31:45奴婢不知,她说
31:47,想见您最后一面
31:48,既然我做什么,我冷笑
31:50,求我饶她一命
31:51,这个,奴婢不知
31:53,我沉默了很久
31:54,月光透过窗帘撒进来
31:56,在地上投下一片银白
31:57,我起身,拿起外衣披上
31:59,走吧,地牢里的气味,比我想象的还要难呢
32:03,我捂着口鼻,一步一步走进去
32:05,御族在前面领路
32:06,一边走一边到,殿下小心脚下
32:09,这段脏得很
32:10,走到最深处的一间牢房前,
32:11狱卒停下来,掏出钥匙开了锁
32:13,殿下,就在里头,我接过冲戈地来的帕子
32:17,捂紧口鼻
32:18,走了进去,牢房里这一盏昏暗的油灯
32:20,照出一个蜷缩在角落里的身影
32:22,那是一个人,又不像一个人
32:24,他瘦的皮包骨头
32:25,头发花白,乱糟糟地劈散着
32:28,身上的球服破烂不堪,又不像一个人
32:31,他瘦的皮包骨头
32:32,头发花白,乱糟糟地劈散着,
32:34身上的球服破烂不堪,沾满了污秽
32:37,他蜷缩在那里
32:38,像一只冰死的野兽
32:40,发出粗重的喘息声
32:41,顾停炫,我开口,他的身子动了动
32:44,慢慢抬起头来
32:45,那张脸
32:46,我曾经爱过,恨过
32:48,如今看来,只身陌生
32:49,他浑浊的眼睛看着我
32:51,好一会儿,他哑着嗓子道
32:52,话音,你来了
32:54,我站在原地
32:55,没有靠近,你找我来
32:56,想说什么,他挣扎着想要爬起来,
32:59却无力地跌了回去,他喘着粗气
33:01,看着我,眼眶里竟然流出泪来
33:03,话音,我对不起你
33:05,我错了,我笑了,你错了,我慢慢走近他
33:09,居高临下地看着他
33:10,你错在哪里
33:11,我,我不该
33:12,不该害你
33:13,我慢慢走近他
33:15,居高临下地看着他
33:16,你错在哪里,我,我不该
33:19,不该害你,你是不该害我
33:21,还是不该被我发现
33:22,他愣住了
33:23,泪痕未干的脸上
33:24,闪过一丝慌乱
33:25,话音,
33:26我,我是真心爱你的
33:28,爱我,我忍不住笑出声来
33:30,顾廷炫
33:30,你摸着你的良心说,你什么时候爱过我
33:33,他张了张嘴
33:34,说不出话来,你爱的是我的身份
33:36,是我的地位,是我能给你带来的一切
33:38,我蹲下身,与他平视
33:40,你从来就没有爱过我
33:42,你爱的是柳依依
33:42,他的眼泪流得更凶了
33:44,可依依,依依他已经死了
33:46,我,我,所以呢
33:48,我打断他
33:49,所以你想说,你如今只能爱我了
33:51,他愣住了,
33:52我站起身,居高临下地看着他
33:54,顾廷炫,你真是个可怜人
33:56,他愣住了,我站起身
33:58,居高临下地看着他
34:00,顾廷炫
34:01,你真是个可怜人
34:02,你这一辈子,自以为聪明
34:04,自以为可以算计一切
34:05,可到头来,你算计了谁
34:07,你算计我,想让我成为柳依依的去窍
34:10,可结果呢,柳依依成了继子
34:12,你成了太监,你算计东赫
34:14,想让他帮你监视我
34:15,可结果呢,
34:16东赫喝了毒酒,死在我面前
34:19,你算计我的父皇母后
34:21,想让他们庇护你和柳依依
34:22,可结果呢,你的父母流放,你的家产超末
34:25,你在这暗无天日的地牢里等死
34:27,你算计了一辈子
34:28,可曾算到过今日,他听着我的话
34:31,整个人像被抽去了骨头,软成瘫烂泥
34:34,华音,求求你,求求你让我死吧
34:37,我受不了了,我真的受不了了
34:39,软成瘫烂泥
34:40,华音,求求你,求求你让我死吧,
34:43我受不了了,我真的受不了了
34:45,我看着他,心中没有半分波澜
34:47,你想死,我说
34:49,可以,他抬起头,眼中闪过一丝希望
34:52,但你要先回答我一个问题
34:54,什么,什么问题
34:55,上辈子
34:56,我死后,你可曾有一刻后悔过
34:58,他愣住了,我盯着他的眼睛
35:00,一字一句道,你可曾有一刻
35:02,想过那个被你害死的赵华音
35:04,他张了张嘴
35:05,却什么也说不出来
35:06,我笑了
35:07,你不用回答,我知道答案,顾廷炫
35:09,我最后看了他一眼,
35:11你死之后,会有人给你收尸
35:13,但不会有人给你立碑
35:14,不会有人给你烧纸
35:15,不会有人记得你,你这一辈子
35:17,白活了,说完
35:19,我转身离去
35:20,身后传来他嘶哑的喊声
35:22,华音
35:22,你这一辈子,白活了
35:24,说完,我转身离去,身后传来他嘶哑的喊声
35:28,华音
35:28,华音,你回来
35:30,你回来啊
35:31,我没有回头
35:32,三天后,顾廷炫死了
35:34,绿竹来报信的时候,
35:35我正陪着母后,在御花园赏花
35:37,母后听完,只是淡淡恩的一声
35:40,继续逗弄着棱中的鸟
35:41,我也没有多说什么,只是让春歌去处理后续事宜
35:44,按照我的吩咐,顾廷炫的尸体
35:46,被草草埋在了城外的一处乱葬岗
35:48,没有棺果,没有祭品,没有墓碑
35:51,与柳依依的神相距不远
35:53,却又遥遥相隔
35:54,生不能同亲,死不能同学,这大概是我能给他了,最后的人子,
35:59那一年秋天,皇兄登基
36:01,成为新帝
36:01,我依旧是嘉诚公主
36:03,只不过从皇帝的嫡公主
36:04,变成了皇帝的嫡亲妹妹
36:06,那一年秋天,皇兄登基,成为新帝
36:09,我依旧是嘉诚公主
36:10,只不过从皇帝的嫡公主
36:12,变成了皇帝的嫡亲妹妹
36:13,新帝登基后,第一件事就是下旨
36:16,将成善堂收归朝廷管辖
36:17,拨银两,开官员,定章程
36:20,让这处收留所可以长久地办下去
36:22,第二件事,
36:23是将我的婚事提上日程,安音
36:25,他坐在御书房里
36:26,对我道,你也老大不小了
36:28,该成婚了
36:29,我撇撇嘴
36:30,皇兄这是嫌我爱事了
36:31,胡说,他瞪我一眼
36:33,我是怕你一个人孤单,我有父皇母后
36:36,有皇兄
36:36,有春哥,有穷善堂那些姑娘们
36:39,哪里孤单了,他叹了口气
36:40,放下手中的奏折
36:42,认真地看着我
36:43,安音,我知道你经历了那些事
36:45,对男女之情已经心灰意冷,
36:47可你总不能让那两个人的恶行,影响你一辈子
36:50,皇兄,我不是比你成婚
36:52,他打断我
36:53,我只是希望你能放下
36:55,放下仇恨
36:56,也放下过去,你还年轻
36:57,还有很长的路要走
36:59,这条路,不该只有你一个人走
37:01,我承诺了
37:02,不是还对男女之情有什么心结
37:04,而是我觉得
37:05,这样就挺好,我有父皇母后
37:07,有皇兄,有春哥
37:08,有穷善堂那些姑娘们
37:10,我有事做
37:10,有人陪,有盼头
37:12,我不需要靠一个男人来圆满我的人生,
37:15我嫌子 brought his pregnant mistress to our mating ceremony,
37:18and told me I would raise their child,
37:19he didn't say it in private,
37:21Damon set it on the altar where he was supposed to claim me,
37:23in front of the entire pack,
37:25Lyra stood beside him in pale gold silk,
37:27one hand resting on her belly,
37:28Lyra,
37:28my friend from the omega quarters,
37:30the girl who had slept two beds away from me for years,
37:33on her wrist was my silver bracelet,
37:34last winter,
37:35Damon had given it to me after three young alphas mocked my omega blood,
37:38he promised no one would ever make me bow again,
37:40a week ago,
37:41a servant came and asked me to send it back,
37:43for the ceremony,
37:44I didn't question it,
37:45now I understood,
37:46Lyra saw me looking,
37:47she touched the bracelet gently,
37:48like it might break,
37:49he wanted me to have it,
37:51I hope you don't mind,
37:52she knew I did,
37:53Damon didn't stop her,
37:54he only looked at me,
37:55cold,
37:55I won't bond with you Serafina,
37:57the elders care about your silver blood,
37:59they think it can crown,
38:01the next alpha king,
38:02he pulled Lyra closer,
38:03but Lyra is carrying my air,
38:05my throat burned,
38:06that bracelet was mine,
38:07Lyra flinched behind Damon's arm,
38:09as if I had hurt her,
38:09Damon glanced at the bracelet,
38:11then back at me,
38:11it was a promise to a girl,
38:13who needed protecting,
38:14his hand covered Lyra's stomach,
38:16she gives me a future,
38:17Lyra looked at me from behind him,
38:18tears shining in her eyes,
38:19small,
38:20fragile,
38:20victorious,
38:21then Damon turned to the entire hall,
38:23when my pup is born,
38:24Serafina will raise it,
38:25as her own,
38:28for one second,
38:30I thought I had misheard him,
38:31then Damon made it worse,
38:32you'll serve Lyra through the pregnancy,
38:34nurse her through recovery,
38:35raise my air as your own,
38:37he said it like he was assigning chores,
38:39to the lowest wolf in the room,
38:40maybe he was,
38:41I was Serafina,
38:42the only silver blood air silver crest,
38:44had seen in a thousand years,
38:45the prophecy said,
38:46whoever completed a bond with me,
38:47could awaken true alpha power,
38:49and claim the alpha king's throne,
38:50but I was also an omega,
38:51the rank everyone stepped on until they needed something,
38:54Damon had decided my blood was useful,
38:56but I was not,
38:56Lyra gave a soft gasp beside him,
38:58Damon don't say it like that,
39:00Serafina has always been so good at taking care of people,
39:03in the omega quarters,
39:05she helped everyone,
39:06I'm sure she won't punish an innocent pup,
39:08just because she's hurt,
39:09the hall went silent,
39:10every stare landed on me,
39:12waiting for me to cry,
39:13to beg,
39:13to bow like a good little omega,
39:15my eyes burned,
39:15not because Damon had rejected me,
39:17because Lyra knew every soft place I kept hidden,
39:19and still chose to press her hand against it,
39:21the claim was never sealed,
39:23no blood oath,
39:24no mark,
39:25under the old laws,
39:26it can still be revoked,
39:27one elder exchanged a look with another,
39:29that is technically true,
39:31I looked at Damon,
39:32I may be an omega,
39:34but I am not her servant,
39:37and I will not raise the child you made with her,
39:41I revoked the claim,
39:43if any wolf here is willing to claim me tonight,
39:45I accept,
39:48the whispers came fast,
39:50silver blood,
39:51did Damon just throw away the prophecy,
39:53if someone claims her now,
39:55I could see it in their faces,
39:56shock,
39:57hunger,
39:57calculation,
39:58for one second,
39:59I thought someone might actually step forward,
40:01then Damon's voice cut through,
40:02your name is still written into the royal reet,
40:04the room froze,
40:05until the elders formally dissolve this ceremony,
40:08anyone who steps forward,
40:09is openly defying the crown,
40:11no one moved,
40:12that had been his plan,
40:13not to bond me,
40:13not to free me,
40:14to keep me trapped under the royal right,
40:16until the elders could turn me into something quieter,
40:18something useful,
40:19Lyra's servant,
40:20his heir's caretaker,
40:21a silver blood omega no other man would dare touch,
40:23Damon stepped close enough for only me to hear,
40:25Sarah,
40:26my chest twisted,
40:27that name used to be soft in his mouth,
40:29tonight,
40:29it was a blade,
40:30don't embarrass yourself,
40:31then he turned to the hall,
40:32no one wants you badly enough to start a war,
40:34for one terrible second,
40:35I thought he was right,
40:36not because I wasn't valuable,
40:38but because every wolf in that room,
40:39wanted my blood more than they wanted to save me,
40:41then the doors at the far end of the hall swung open,
40:44but before anyone could see who had entered,
40:46Moira arrived first,
40:48Moira,
40:49Damon's mother,
40:49the Luna matriarch,
40:51swept into the hall like a storm in silk,
40:52she took one look at Lyra behind Damon,
40:54and slapped her across the face,
40:56the crack echoed off every wall,
40:57shameless omega,
40:59you dare turn a royal treat into a spectacle,
41:01Lyra fell to the floor,
41:02clutching her cheek,
41:03tears already spilling,
41:04Damon lunged forward and shielded her,
41:05she's under my protection,
41:07Moira stared at him like she was seeing him clearly,
41:09for the first time,
41:09then she turned to me,
41:10her voice softened,
41:12Serafana dear,
41:13Damon has humiliated you,
41:14I will deal with him,
41:15but you must not act rashly,
41:17let me close this ceremony quietly,
41:19the crown will keep you protected,
41:21until we decide where you belong,
41:23where I belonged,
41:23not what I wanted,
41:24not who I chose,
41:25I pulled my hand free,
41:26you bound me to Damon,
41:28for my blood,
41:28then he brought her here with his heir,
41:30and told me to raise their child,
41:32my voice shut,
41:33but I did not stop,
41:34I will not be their servant,
41:36the hall went silent,
41:37I will not nurse his mistress through pregnancy,
41:40and I will not raise another woman's child,
41:42because Damon thinks an omega should be grateful for scraps,
41:45Moira's eyes hardened,
41:46careful girl,
41:47you are still standing inside a royal treat,
41:49your blood belongs to Silverhrest,
41:51before it belongs to you,
41:52my stomach went cold,
41:53there it was,
41:54Damon wanted me useful,
41:55Lyra wanted me beneath her,
41:57Moira wanted me on,
41:58if no one claims you tonight,
41:59the elders will decide your future,
42:01Damon smiled again,
42:02for the first time that night,
42:03I felt truly trapped,
42:04then a low voice cut through the hall,
42:06does her offer still stand,
42:08every head turned,
42:10Hale stood at the far end of the hall,
42:11tall,
42:12dressed in black,
42:13pale as winter,
42:13Aldrich's firstborn,
42:15Damon's older half-brother,
42:16the true alpha heir by blood,
42:17and the cursed one who still couldn't shift,
42:19he took one step forward,
42:21then stopped,
42:21just for half a second,
42:22his hand touched the doorframe,
42:24everyone saw it,
42:25the cursed heir could barely stand,
42:27Damon laughed under his breath,
42:28careful brother,
42:29if she chooses you,
42:30she won't be a bride by sunrise,
42:32a few wolves laughed,
42:33Moira's face went white,
42:35Kale don't be stupid,
42:36you know what silver blood does to a cursed wolf,
42:38it could kill you,
42:39Kale ignored her,
42:40his gray eyes stayed on me,
42:42what you just said,
42:43does it still stand,
42:44my throat tightened,
42:45before I could answer,
42:46Damon stepped in,
42:47no,
42:48the whole hall froze,
42:49Damon's smile sharpened,
42:50she said any wolf,
42:51not a dead one pretending he still has a claim,
42:54Kale's face did not change,
42:55Damon moved closer to me,
42:57look at him Sarah,
42:58he can't protect you,
43:00he can't shift,
43:01he can barely stand,
43:02if you choose him,
43:04this wedding becomes a funeral before sunrise,
43:07Lyra's eyes widened,
43:08soft and wet,
43:09don't do this to yourself Serafina,
43:10you don't have to ruin yourself,
43:12just because you're hurt,
43:13Moira seized the silence,
43:14if no suitable wolf claims you tonight,
43:17the elders will decide your future,
43:19the room closed around me again,
43:20Damon held out his hand,
43:22not like a lover,
43:23like a leash,
43:24last chance Sarah,
43:25his smile was cold,
43:26stand down,
43:28for one second,
43:30the whole hall waited,
43:31they all thought I would break,
43:32I looked past his hand,
43:33at Kale,
43:34thin as paper,
43:35pale as death,
43:35a cursed heir the entire pack had already buried,
43:38and still,
43:39he was the only man in that room who had asked for my answer,
43:41not my blood,
43:42not my obedience,
43:43not my usefulness,
43:44my answer,
43:45so I stepped around Damon's hand,
43:47his smile vanished,
43:48Lyra's face changed,
43:49the hall went silent,
43:50I walked toward Kale,
43:51every step felt like I was cutting a rope around my throat,
43:54Damon's voice snapped behind me,
43:56Sarahfina,
43:56I didn't stop,
43:57girl think carefully,
43:59I did,
43:59for the first time all night,
44:00I did,
44:01then I stopped in front of Kale,
44:02he looked down at me,
44:03gray eyes steady,
44:04what you said,
44:05does it still stand,
44:07my hands were still shaking,
44:08but my answer did not,
44:09yes,
44:10the hall exploded,
44:11Kale did not look at Damon,
44:12did not look at Moira,
44:13only me,
44:14then I claim her,
44:15a few elders half rose,
44:16then froze,
44:17because a claim spoken and accepted before the right,
44:20could not be taken back,
44:21Damon laughed,
44:22loud enough for the whole hall to hear,
44:23go on brother,
44:25take her hand,
44:26are you done making a scene Sarah,
44:28if you stop now,
44:29Lila and I might still forgive you,
44:30you can still stay where you belong,
44:32he looked me up and down,
44:33Lyra leaned into him,
44:34worry flickering across her face,
44:36like another part of the performance,
44:38the hall went dead silent,
44:39Kale held out his hand,
44:40at the same time,
44:41I reached for him,
44:42our fingers locked,
44:43the ritual lines blazed white,
44:45then black marks burst from beneath Kale's sleeve,
44:48they weren't veins,
44:49they were his curse,
44:50black marks tore up Kale's arm,
44:52coiled around his throat,
44:53and climbed toward his face like something alive,
44:56the hall gasped,
44:56for one second,
44:57the gray in his eyes vanished,
44:59replaced by molten gold,
45:00something caged,
45:01something feral,
45:02the curse is activating,
45:04he can't hold it,
45:05stop the ceremony,
45:06the elders surged forward,
45:07but the ritual lines had already locked around our wrists,
45:10once a bond began,
45:11no one outside it could break it,
45:13Kale's hand tightened around mine,
45:14too tight,
45:15his knees buckled,
45:16he hit the altar hard,
45:17blood spilling from his mouth onto the silver stone,
45:20the hall went silent,
45:21Kale looked up at me,
45:22gold flickering through the gray,
45:23let go,
45:24if you stop now,
45:26you'll still make it out,
45:27he meant it,
45:27even half dying in front of the entire pack,
45:30he was still trying to give me a way out,
45:31Damon stepped forward,
45:39I didn't look at him,
45:40Damon's tone sharpened,
45:41don't throw your life away just to prove a point,
45:44still,
45:44I did not look at him,
45:45my fingers tightened around Kale's,
45:47the curse burned black between us,
45:48every wolf in that hall was waiting for me to let go,
45:51instead,
45:52I leaned closer,
45:53Kale,
45:53get me,
45:54then,
45:54without looking away from him,
45:56I reached for the silver edge of the altar,
45:59I didn't let go,
46:00with Kale's eyes locked on mine,
46:01I dragged my palm across the altar's silver edge,
46:04pain cut sharp,
46:05silver blood spilled over my skin,
46:07the entire hall gasped,
46:08before anyone could stop me,
46:10I pressed my bleeding hand against the darkest knot of curse marks on Kale's wrist,
46:13light exploded between us,
46:15cold and blinding,
46:16violent enough to shake the altar beneath us,
46:18Kale's body arched,
46:19and a broken sound tore from his throat,
46:21the curse fought back under my palm,
46:23black marks twisting up his skin,
46:24fighting to reach his throat again,
46:26so I pressed harder,
46:27stay with me,
46:28the black marks stopped,
46:29then slowly,
46:30unwillingly,
46:31they began to retreat,
46:32the ritual lines beneath our feet blazed white hot,
46:35spiraling around our joined wrists,
46:36until a pale silver mark burned itself into both our skin,
46:39the bond didn't fail,
46:40it held,
46:41Kale collapsed to one knee,
46:42blood still on his lips,
46:43but the gold was leaving his eyes,
46:45grey was coming back,
46:46he was alive,
46:47the oldest elder stared at our wrists,
46:49the bond is sealed,
46:50by old law,
46:52seraphina of silver blood,
46:53is now claimed by Kale,
46:55first born heir of silver crest,
46:57a sharp crack split the altar stone,
46:59the royal right mark that had held Damon's name beside mine burned black,
47:02then vanished,
47:03in its place,
47:04a new name carved itself into the silver light,
47:06Kale,
47:07Damon's face went white,
47:08he forced out a laugh,
47:09he's still cursed,
47:11you think your blood makes him stronger than me,
47:13before I could answer,
47:14the silver mark on my wrist flared again,
47:16so did Kale's,
47:17the ritual light shifted,
47:19it no longer circled me alone,
47:20it moved around him,
47:21the elder's face drained of color,
47:23the blood accepted him,
47:24the hall went silent,
47:25Damon stopped breathing,
47:26the prophecy had not died,
47:28it had moved on,
47:30the hall stayed silent,
47:31Kale was still on one knee,
47:32blood on his lips,
47:33one hand braced against the altar,
47:35but his grip on me never loosened,
47:36the silver mark on my wrist pulsed once,
47:38his answered,
47:39Damon finally found his voice,
47:41this isn't over,
47:42the oldest elder looked at the burned royal right mark,
47:44then at our joint hands,
47:45Damon's face hardened,
47:46he can barely stand,
47:47Kale slowly lifted his head,
47:49through the bond,
47:49I felt the pain he was hiding,
47:51sharp enough to cut through bone,
47:52then he rose,
47:53not easily,
47:54not steadily,
47:54but he rose,
47:55then watch me,
47:56no one laughed this time,
47:57Moira stepped forward at once,
47:59Kale,
48:00you need healers,
48:01Serafina will remain here until the council,
48:03decides what happens next,
48:05Kale looked at her,
48:05no,
48:06one word,
48:07low and final,
48:07the hall froze,
48:08Moira's expression tightened,
48:09this is not the time for pride,
48:11no one decides for my mate,
48:12a shiver moved through the room,
48:14for 13 years,
48:15they had spoken around him,
48:16like he was already dead,
48:17tonight,
48:17he did not raise his voice,
48:18but every wolf in that hall,
48:20heard the command beneath it,
48:21move,
48:22the wolves blocking the aisle,
48:23stepped aside,
48:24Damon stared at me,
48:25like he still expected me to look back,
48:26Lyra's fingers dug into his sleeve,
48:28I did not turn,
48:29Kale led me out of the hall,
48:30each step costing him more,
48:31than he let anyone see,
48:32only when the doors closed behind us,
48:34did his hand tighten around mine,
48:35his voice dropped,
48:36now ask me what you really want to ask,
48:40Kale had said it outside the hall,
48:42his hand still wrapped around mine,
48:43for one second,
48:44the question almost escaped me right there,
48:46but then he swayed,
48:47just once,
48:48pain cut through his grip,
48:49so I swallowed the words,
48:50and followed him to the north tower,
48:51no one stopped us,
48:52no one dared,
48:53his quarters were cold and almost bare,
48:55a narrow bed,
48:56a heavy desk,
48:56maps pinned neatly to the walls,
48:58no flowers,
48:59no servants,
48:59nothing prepared for a bride,
49:01but everything was clean,
49:02the bed was made sharp,
49:03the books were lined straight,
49:04even the medicine bottles stood in order,
49:06Kale had been forgotten here,
49:07but he had not let himself fall apart,
49:09for the first time that night,
49:10no one was watching,
49:11no elders,
49:12no pack,
49:13no Damon,
49:13no Lyra,
49:14just me and the cursed heir,
49:15who had become my mate,
49:16Kale removed his black outer robe,
49:18and set it aside,
49:18without it,
49:19he looked even thinner,
49:20too pale,
49:20too tired,
49:21a man the curse had been eating alive for years,
49:23he leaned one hand against the desk,
49:25ask,
49:25my fingers curled into my sleeves,
49:27did you know,
49:28that my blood could help you,
49:30did you claim me because you wanted me,
49:33or because my blood can keep you alive,
49:35Kale went very still,
49:36for one breath,
49:37I thought he would deny it,
49:38then he looked at me,
49:39I don't want to lie to you,
49:40and suddenly,
49:41I knew,
49:41whatever came next was going to hurt,
49:44Kale did not look away,
49:46that was how I knew the answer before he said it,
49:48yes I knew your silver blood might hold back my curse,
49:50for a moment,
49:51I could not speak,
49:52Damon wanted an heir,
49:53the elders wanted a prophecy,
49:54and Kale wanted a cure,
49:55I stepped back before I could stop myself,
49:57Kale saw it,
49:58but he did not follow,
49:59if I only wanted your blood,
50:00I could have asked for you years ago,
50:02maybe you waited until I had nowhere else to go,
50:04the words came out smaller than I wanted,
50:06his face changed,
50:07not anger,
50:08something worse,
50:08because he knew I had the right to think it,
50:10maybe I deserve that,
50:11the fire cracked between us,
50:12I hated that he sounded honest,
50:14I hated that honesty still hurt,
50:16then why tonight,
50:17because Damon made you stand alone,
50:18and I know what that feels like,
50:20my fingers twisted in my sleeves,
50:21for a second,
50:22I forgot how to answer,
50:23because he wasn't asking me to pity him,
50:25he was telling me he had seen me,
50:27if I stay,
50:27it won't be because you need me,
50:29I know,
50:30if I help you,
50:32it doesn't mean you get to use me,
50:34no,
50:35never,
50:35the room went quiet,
50:36I looked at the place beneath his shirt,
50:38where the curse had almost killed him in front of everyone,
50:40my hands were still shaking,
50:42but my voice came out clear,
50:43you claimed me before the whole pack,
50:46so show me,
50:47Serafina,
50:48show me the curse,
50:51Hale did not move for a long moment,
50:52then he loosened the ties of his shirt,
50:54the fabric fell open,
50:55the curse mark sat at the center of his chest,
50:57dark red against bone pale skin,
50:59coiled like something alive beneath his flesh,
51:01I had seen blood on him,
51:02I had seen him collapse at the altar,
51:04but this was worse,
51:05the curse was not just sealing his wolf,
51:07it was feeding on him,
51:08my fingers curled once before I forced them still,
51:10I need to touch it,
51:11Serafina,
51:12you claimed me before the whole pack,
51:15do not hide from me now,
51:16for one beat,
51:17I thought he would refuse,
51:18then he gave a single nod,
51:19I pressed my palm flat against the mark,
51:21his whole body locked,
51:22heat slammed into my hand,
51:23sharp and violent,
51:24not mine,
51:24his,
51:25my silver blood answered instantly,
51:26and something inside him answered back,
51:28I felt it hit the seal,
51:29once,
51:29twice,
51:30a wolf trapped behind iron,
51:31throwing itself against the dark,
51:33Kale's breath broke,
51:34gold flashed through his gray eyes,
51:35your wolf is still there,
51:37his chest rose hard beneath my hand,
51:39it's not gone,
51:39I feel it every day,
51:41gold bled through his eyes again,
51:42like fire under ice,
51:44then his grip tightened,
51:45and this time,
51:45when he said my name,
51:46it did not sound entirely human,
51:49I didn't even see him move,
51:51one second,
51:51I was standing in front of him,
51:53my palm pressed to his chest,
51:54the next,
51:55my back hit the bed,
51:56Kale was above me,
51:56one hand braced by my ear,
51:58the other locking around my wrist,
51:59breathing like he'd been dragged up from deep water,
52:01the curse mark blazed under my palm,
52:03its edges lit up,
52:04spreading outward like cracks in burning glass,
52:06his eyes were wrong,
52:07I could feel his wolf pressing against the bond,
52:09like it wanted to tear through his skin to reach me,
52:11his pupils narrowed,
52:12jaw clenched so hard I could hear his teeth grind,
52:14stop touching me,
52:16if you keep going,
52:17he didn't finish,
52:18because the bond pulsed,
52:19I felt it,
52:20his wolf,
52:20trapped behind that seal,
52:21slamming toward my hand with everything it had,
52:23Kale stared down at me,
52:24half broken,
52:25half feral,
52:26every muscle in his body was locked tight,
52:28holding himself back,
52:28even like this,
52:29he still wasn't hurting me,
52:30then Kale kissed me,
52:31not softly,
52:32not carefully,
52:33like the bond had finally pulled too hard for either of us to pretend it was only a ritual,
52:37the mark beneath my palm flared white gold,
52:39Kale's body locked,
52:40his eyes flashed full gold,
52:41for one terrifying second,
52:42I saw what had been trapped inside him for 13 years,
52:45not the cursed prince,
52:46the wolf,
52:47then the room burst into light,
52:49when the light faded,
52:51Kale was on the floor beside the bed,
52:52unconscious,
52:53the curse mark on his chest had split straight down the center,
52:56for one terrifying second,
