Chapter 8 Night Exploration of the Dragon Pool
At that time, there were only Princess Wu and the third princess left in the main hall of the Purple Smoke Palace. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Sending Mi Huang out, Mama Liu returned to the palace and sighed earnestly, "Princess, why are you so enthusiastic about the eldest princess today." ”
"That's it, the eldest sister snatched my marriage, mother, you can help me find a way to get it back!" The arrogant temper of the third princess was undoubtedly revealed when no one was around, she had been infatuated with Ruo Ao Ziyan for many years, and when he entered the official career, he was ready to ask his father for marriage, but now he wants to marry someone else.
The third princess's temper is really a headache, Princess Wu, who was standing by the window, couldn't help frowning and said, "Zhao'er, from childhood to adulthood, the mother concubine has taught you countless times, in this harem, not only to please your father, but also to use your tactics, what's the use of scolding others?"
Mi Zhao shook Princess Wu's jade arm and still didn't follow, "But Mi Huang, that cheap maid, from childhood to adulthood, Princess Dan Fanben likes it, she has to snatch it, Taishi Pan's appreciation, his father's expectations, and now even Ziyan ...... Mother, no matter what happens this time, you can't let her snatch my Ziyan again, otherwise my daughter won't live!" After speaking, she lay on the couch with a pear blossom and rain on her face and cried, and she didn't listen to anyone's persuasion.
"Who told you that you are not as capable as her, can you ask people to ask for marriage if Ao Ziyan asks for marriage, and the king thinks that she won the Yongguo, can you not agree!" Princess Wu is really angry, and even she has to be afraid of three points now.
Thinking of Mihuang seven years ago, without the support of Queen Sun, and his grandfather was far away in southern Xinjiang, lonely, small and helpless, and often lived with slaves and maids. Such a her, in this harem, if she wants to die, there are no less than a thousand ways to make her die silently. So she specially asked the king of Chu to take Mihuang by her side, and she had the intention of thinking about it and finding an opportunity to get rid of it by the way. It's just that Mi Huang, who has entered the Purple Smoke Palace, is not only obedient, but also timid as a mouse, afraid of the white dragon like a snake demon, after repeated temptations and tortures, he gradually doesn't care about her, but Ren Mi Zhao treats her as a slave and maid at will.
But four years ago, when she suddenly heard that the King of Chu and Taishi Pan both praised Mi Huang's studies, she couldn't help but feel threatened again, a person who was called by them as a slave all day long, could still have time to learn well, but seeing that Mi Huang had been more timid and cowardly in front of her since then, she easily let her go. However, in the end, she still ordered Mama Liu to find a reason, and scolded her with a cane for violating the palace rules, which almost cost her half of her life, and she was raised in the Dawn Hall for three months before going to the ground.
It's just that she didn't expect that after more than half a year after this incident, she actually secretly went to the King of Chu alone to ask for orders to go to the city to fight the enemy.
How can a woman come back from the battlefield?
is the identity of a princess again, and maybe she will be taken captive by the enemy country to be a comfort woman.
So day and night in the city of Yingdu waiting for the news of her death, several times heard that she was seriously injured to death, she also happily ordered the Maiko musicians to sing and dance to celebrate, but unfortunately Mi Huang is really hard, actually every time in the end of the miraculous survival, really think about it and grit your teeth.
Now that three years have passed, she not only led the Chu army to defeat the Yong army, but also came back alive with all her tails.
"Hmph, she's really hard!" Princess Wu, who was dressed in a gorgeous six-tailed phoenix robe, stood in front of the flower stand, her long jade armor pinched a branch of the fallen peony in the jade bottle, tore off a red thousand-heavy petal, and snorted coldly, "It's really useless to have a 200,000 Yong army that can't even kill a weak woman." ”
"Princess, this little hoof, the old slave has already said that this girl is not hard-hearted, but born hard-boned. A man of such hard bones will be a great evil. Mama Liu, who was wearing a gray robe, put a pair of old hands in her sleeves, and her gray and white eyes, which had seen all the darkness in the harem, shrank her pupils, and said slowly.
"Yes, when I came back, I bowed to our maids as before. ”
"If you are so forbearing, your intentions will be great. With a long sigh, Princess Wu secretly regretted that in the past eleven years, she was so confident that she missed countless opportunities to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, so that such a poisonous weed has gradually grown to this day, "I can't let her climb the towering tree of Ruo Ao again, otherwise once Ruo Ao and the Chen family successfully marry, my Zhao'er will have no way to live." ”
"Mother, then you have to find a way to kill Mi Huang!" Mi Zhao had tears in his eyes and begged again and again.
"Okay, stop crying. If you cry again, you will cry Zhao'er, who is the concubine's favorite. Princess Wu shook her head helplessly, and held a handkerchief to wipe the tears dripping from the corners of her eyes for her beloved daughter, her eyes were full of motherly love, but the gorgeous red lips outlined a cold arc, and asked coldly, "Mama, is the king here tonight?"
"Princess, the palace people have reported that the king has gone to Madame Xian's residence at this time. ”
Mrs. Xian has been in the palace for three years, although she is young, but the king of Chu is old, so she has no children and no daughters, but with the support of the Cheng family who is Zuo Yin, she has often been at odds with her in the past two years, and she is inseparable from the most disgusting Mi Xuan, like her own mother and daughter, even the old sick ghost of the king of Chu often praises the two of them for being like mother and daughter, and they look like sisters.
There is a window in the main hall that is facing the courtyard, Princess Wu, who is familiar with the situation in the front hall, stood in front of the window, glanced at the two people who were flying out of the skirt, until the door of the Ziyan Palace was locked, and a sharp light suddenly flashed in the phoenix eyes that were originally pleasant.
It's fleeting.
***********
"Princess, we don't have any snake repellent realgar powder tonight, so don't get too close, lest there be danger. ”
In the middle of the night, in the shade of the mountain on the side of the rockery in the white dragon pool that surrounded a small half of the purple smoke palace jade garden with white jade rocks, a tall black shadow stood tall and his whole body was wrapped in black clothes and black face, and the female voice of the rough mine deliberately lowered his voice and said.
Behind her, another cold female voice sounded later, with a slight imperceptible tremor or excited, "It's okay, there are still ten steps away, this evil animal has eaten people today, and it must still be digesting, and it will not come out to hurt people again for the time being." The soles of the black boots stepped heavily on the jade brick body carved with the hidden dragon totem in the abyss, and there was a large cloud of dry red blood on the brick body that had not been completely washed, and there was no fear of the day, at this time, the Mi Huang, who was only ten steps away from the white dragon pool, was quite calm, and sniffed lightly between his nose.
In the cold autumn wind, she seemed to be able to smell the disgusting bloody breath coming out of the pool, and in the black ink-like dragon pool, it was not the real dragon that benefited the common people, but the giant beast that brought disaster to the world, lurking in a certain depth under the water, ready to give a fatal blow at any time, just like in this seemingly glamorous palace, no one knows what kind of terrible blades, conspiracies, assassinations, hatred, and even killings are hidden in it?
"Did you bring the things that Si Hua had prepared?" Qi Huang, who was also dressed in black and black, revealed a pair of bright eyes through the masked black cloth, looked deeply at the bottom of the lake and asked in a low voice.
"Brought it. Si Jian took out a jade bottle from a cloth bag hanging from his waist, and before he handed it to Mi Huang, at this time, there was a sound of rustling footsteps coming from far and near to this side, I don't know whether the patrolling guards were unintentional to pass by or who, the two immediately flashed behind the rockery when they heard the sound, and hid their bodies with a clump of grass from the grass.
One was wearing a black cloak, the brim of the hat was very low, looking relatively short, like a woman, but her waist was bulging, I don't know what was hidden, I saw that she walked to the edge of the white dragon pool and stopped thirty steps away, and then turned to the other side of the rockery, and took out a small copper brazier from the cloak, as well as a stack of yellow paper, and slowly lit it with the flint she carried with her.
A faint flame slowly burned in the copper basin, illuminating the woman's face with her head deliberately lowered.
It's her!
The two in the dark exchanged glances with each other, quietly watching the woman burn the yellow paper into the copper basin while silently chanting words, but the face red by the fire was like blood, as if there was a great hatred.
"May your mother and daughter not die a good death, in order to comfort my sister's soul in heaven. ”
In the silence of the night, the deaf and clear-sighted Mi Huang heard her last curse, and the corners of her mouth hooked slightly.
After taking a deep look at the lake as deep as a black pool, the woman cleaned up all the yellow paper ashes scattered on the ground with copper basins, and hid under the cloak again until there was no trace of the white jade dragon pool.
In the silent and deep corridor, the woman quietly returned to the palace courtyard in the backyard, and was about to push open the door, when suddenly a voice from the dark side sounded behind her.
"What are you doing here at such a late hour!"
"Ahh......h
"Hmph, you are not allowed to go out in the middle of the night in the palace. Since you have violated the palace rules, go to Mother Li's side to get the ten boards. And it's better not for me to find out what you have in mind, or I'll know what I mean. A touch of red light shone on Mama Liu's wrinkled old face, and after saying this, she carried a red lantern and floated past her with two waiters carrying two oversized food boxes, heading towards the White Dragon Pool in the Jade Garden.
"Yes...... Mama Liu, the slave will remember. The woman replied with her head bowed and trembling all over, her hands hidden in her sleeves tugging at her sleeves tightly.
At the edge of the White Dragon Pool, a middle-aged waiter who followed Mama Liu put down the big food box and suddenly asked, "Mama, why did you let go of that maid so easily today, there are not many meat and bones tonight." ”
"Since I don't know enough, why don't I find more to come, it's just so much, how can it be enough for my little white to eat. A shaded side of the eye drifted over, and Mama Liu held a long iron tong in the huge food box and picked it up, counting it, there were only four or five bones with meat.
"There are really no more palace people in the palace today who violate the palace rules. The middle-aged waiter took a step back and replied.
"Hmph. Mama Liu grabbed the largest bone in the food box and threw it into the black pool, as if she was going to see her beloved baby, she drew a happy and gloomy smile, and said softly, "Come out and eat, my baby." ”
A large bone, whether it was a pig bone or a human bone, dripped with blood and minced meat, was thrown into the pool, splashing a large red splash on the surface of the lake.
The originally calm surface of the lake, because of this smell of blood, suddenly continued to bubble, like boiling hot water, making a "drumming" sound, and the strong bloody gas then surfaced, floating in the already bloody air, it appeared even more fishy, and the smell was disgusting. A silver-white column of water rose into the sky, opening its bloody mouth towards the waiter who had just spoken on the shore, and the middle-aged waiter who had just spoken was bitten by it before he could turn around and run away.
"Ahh
The scarlet letter made a "silky" sound, and with a curl of its long tail, it dragged the person into the water.
"The white dragon eats people!" the other young attendant let out a loud cry when he saw such a terrible scene for the first time, and then turned and ran desperately, ignoring the blood splashing on his face.
"Hmph, useless stuff. Mama Liu looked at the little waiter who ran away and snorted coldly, and then said happily to the lake, "I'm finally full this time, my little baby." ”
In the palace of King Chu, which was only separated by a wall from the Purple Smoke Palace, King Chu Mu was awakened from his dream by this scream that pierced the night sky.
"What sound, so terrible?" asked King Chu Mu as he sat on his gum and sweated coldly.
"It's noon, my lord, it's time for the white dragon to dine again......" Zhao Changshi replied euphemistically.
"Oh......" King Chu Mu wiped the cold sweat on his head under the service of Zhao Changshi, and gradually subsided, but he still stroked his chest with palpitations, and sighed long, "I really don't know when this white dragon will be able to soar and leave the widowed Chu Palace......"
Zhao Changshou didn't dare to answer casually, the dragon is a god in the sky, and since ancient times, it is easy to invite God, but it is difficult to send God!
Standing by the bed silently pulled the quilt for the king of Chu, and when he saw him fall asleep again, he quietly withdrew from the palace.
