During the Yuning period of the Mirror Dynasty, Emperor Sima Pei became obsessed with immortal art, and according to the method taught by Taoist priests, he cut off the grain and took pills. As a result, the emperor did not think about the government all the year round, and his body gradually declined, until the harem was cold, so although there were countless concubines, except for the princess born by the queen in the early years, the emperor had nothing to do.

No matter how much the other concubines tried their best, it was to no avail, so they all eyed the queen's mother and daughter. After a year of Jingyu, the queen was pregnant again, and the imperial doctor diagnosed the son as a man, and the emperor was overjoyed. Then she was pregnant in October, and who would have thought that the much-anticipated prince would have died when she landed. The emperor was furious and immediately slapped the queen, who was already extremely weak when she gave birth, and under multiple blows, she actually gave up.

In the same year, Li Lingrong, the side concubine of King Xin'an, gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses.

So far, the emperor has nothing to do, and there are many brothers, and those princes who have missed the Ninety-Five Honor are all waiting for the emperor to drive the crane immortal one day.

In the second year of Jingning, the emperor's only daughter, Sima Junbi, was crowned Princess Dongyang, noble and glorious, and unique for a while.

Chapter I

The night was dark and heavy, and the cicadas and frogs were singing. If it weren't for the faint smell of blood in the air, tonight would have been a night that was easier to fall asleep on.

Princess Dongyang, whose hair is combed into a fairy bun, wearing a water-red large-sleeved shirt and a long skirt swaying to the ground, stands at the head of the bridge. The slender and thin body stood straight, and the moonlight above the thick clouds occasionally leaked the starlight, lining her like a fairy, proud and noble.

The night wind blew, and the smell of blood in the wind became stronger and stronger. Sima Junbi closed her eyes, opened them widely, her lips were biting tightly, the princess's self-esteem made her rather choose the way of self-harm to wake up, than to surrender to more and more exhaustion and uncontrollable panic, and then wolf bèi.

The night was dim, and only a black shadow could be seen swaying on the surface of the lake, but Sima Junbi, who was very familiar with this place, knew that this black shadow was originally an extremely gorgeous and bright lotus. At this time, there are many killing shadows, which makes it difficult to save that scene in the imagination.

Except for the swaying lotus leaves brought by the wind, there was no movement on the surface of the lake, but Sima Junbi suddenly stared in one direction. The boundless fear made her taste the thick smell of blood, but when a figure actually appeared from the lotus flower in the direction she was staring at, there was not even a trace of fluctuation in her eyes.

"Princess. ”

The man stopped in front of her and saluted respectfully. Sima Junbi bit her lip and looked at the person coldly, no matter how humble she was, this person was not her salvation, but just another killer. It's just that his long-term respect for the superior made him habitually prostrate at the feet of this noble princess even when facing his prey.

The ritual is completely over, and the blade with a cold light has arrived in front of you.

"Princess, be careful!"

As the words fell, the body was already being held in the arms of the person and moved quickly. Sima Junbi turned around in the man's arms, only to see that the figure that was crawling at his feet just now had now turned into a murderous weapon, and he was the target he would never give up.

The sharp weapon was cold, but Sima Junbi's eyes were even colder. The coldness in his eyes made even the footsteps behind him stagnate. However, this moment was enough to make him die in Huangquan.

"Princess. Sima Junbi was put down, and the person holding her also knelt down, "Subordinates offended, please surrender." ”

"It's okay!"

Suddenly, there was another movement among the lotus leaves on the surface of the lake, and in an instant, three or five assassins surrounded the two of them.

"Wait!" Sima Jun suddenly spoke, his crisp voice with an inviolable majesty, stopping the guards who planned to continue to run away with him, and also stopping the Quartet killers from preparing to attack, "This bridge is not connected to the other side, if you can kill these people here, then turn back, we will find another way to survive, if not, I will die here." ”

At present, the place where several people are located is a wooden bridge, and at the end of the bridge is a richly decorated pavilion, which cannot be seen at night, and everywhere you can see, there is mist and lotus shadows.

Sima Junbi has not yet reached the age of Lu, his figure is slender and petite, although he gasps slightly, his expression is difficult to hide his tiredness, but his voice is still cold. This attitude of not being surprised, whether it is the guard or the killer, they are all stunned.

The guard guarding her said, "Subordinates obey!"

Sima Junbi stepped aside and stood straight, still in a proud and noble posture, watching the sword light and sword shadow in front of her dance for her life. The dark clouds were finally blown away by the night wind, the moon was revealed, the moonlight was sprinkled, and the night was finally clearly visible.

Red blood, red lotus... Tilting his head slightly--even the moonlight, somehow turned red, redder than blood, colder than lotus.

"Princess, my subordinates are ashamed...!"

The voice gradually became hoarse to nothing. At this time, the bridge deck was in shambles, and there were six corpses - five to take her life, and one to protect her life.

Suddenly, she felt her teeth tremble and collide gently, and in the middle of it, Sima Junbi finally squatted down and closed her eyes for her twelfth guard.

Standing on the wooden bridge in a daze, I suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. This is a feeling that she has never felt before, she can cultivate thirteen guards who are only loyal to herself without the knowledge of the supreme father of the world, and she can also survive in the dire place of the palace. Even when the queen immortal went, she could clearly know what she was doing outside of despair.

But now, she was at a loss, and Sen Leng, who was on the verge of death, even made her wonder what the purpose of struggling to survive was meaningful.

At the end of the bridge is just a pavilion, there is no road, Sima Junbi knows.

The lotus leaves in the distance moved again, clenched their fists, and Sima Junbi suddenly rushed in the direction of the pavilion, she is the supreme princess in the world, even if it is that way, it must be her own choice. This is her pride, the pride of a princess.

"Poof", a flash of red, the lotus leaves under the pavilion trembled, and several red lotus flowers broke their branches with the sound and sank to the bottom of the lake.

The sound of the wind passing by, and the sound of the lotus leaves shaking seemed to be louder, but in an instant, the night was silent again.

"Died overboard?"

The sharp voice that seemed sharp because of surprise made people's hearts numb, and the guards who returned to the bow hurriedly knelt down and said: "Returning to the side concubine, when the slave arrives, I see the princess diving." ”

"Can you order someone to salvage?"

The slave immediately went into the water, but the bottom of the water was blocked by the lotus branches, and he couldn't do it for a while. The water is living water, and the slave has ordered people to salvage it along the water. ”

Concubine Li thought for a moment and asked, "According to the information you got before, can Princess Dongyang know water?"

"No, there is a living spring where the princess is hospitalized, but the princess has never been in the water. ”

For nearly a year, since the day he decided to wipe out this princess, Li Lingrong has been sending people to secretly inquire about Sima Junbi's habits. The living spring was specially introduced by King Xin'an for the princess of the royal residence of King Xin'an, and it was crystal clear and the temperature was moderate. If the princess really knows how to water, especially in Xin'an, a hot place in summer, there is no reason to refuse to go into the water.

"Seeing people in life, seeing corpses in death. ”

"Yes, slave command!"

It is already certain that Princess Dongyang is more than lucky, and waved her hand to make people retreat. Concubine Li's nerves, which had been tense all night, finally relaxed, and her not very fair and beautiful face showed some excited crimson.

"I know you have a plan that no ordinary person can match, but so what, except to bring me this boundless wealth and glory, in the end it will only cost you your own life. ”

At that time, it was only the year of the general horn, and such a perfect plan was set. And now, before she could see through her desire to get rid of her thoughts and hurry up, and even after transferring all the guards around her, thirteen guards actually came out to protect her to the death.

What kind of wisdom does Dongyang Princess Sima Junbi have, I'm afraid no one in this world knows better than Li Lingrong. However, the future was too bright, and the last trace of panic and worry in her heart was replaced by excitement.

No matter how exquisite the seven tricks are, they are just in the past, and from now on, this legendary princess will always be able to exist in the legend. And he finally pulled out the thorn in his heart that represented the truth and made it difficult for people to toss and turn.

"Concubine. There was a slave and maid outside the door and said, "The prince has returned home." ”

After cleaning up and dressing up, Concubine Li's not feminine face was also a little more shy, but in the next moment, there was a little more panic and sadness in the shyness.

Everyone in the world knows that Princess Dongyang, the pearl of the emperor's majesty, is the closest to Sima Mingzhao, the son of the king of Xin'an, and is also very close to Concubine Li, the mother of the prince, so the princess has an accident, and her sadness must be in place.

"Go and invite the prince to come, and I will take him to meet the prince. ”

The son of the world is her life talisman and the guarantee of her glory and wealth in this life,

In a moment, dozens of slaves and maids waited for a cute and agile child to come, and his appearance was a little similar to that of Princess Dongyang. Concubine Li hurriedly stepped forward and held the child in her arms, it was not like holding her own child, but like holding some fragile peerless treasure, showing a little caution.

"Mother. Xiao Shizi looked up at his mother, "What about Sister Junbi?"

"Bang", as soon as his words fell, dozens of slaves and maids present knelt down in unison, their expressions full of fear. Concubine Li, who was holding Xiao Shizi, also knelt down in a hurry, and the princess of a dignified country disappeared in Xin'an, even the king of Xin'an could not escape punishment.

Kneeling is the identity of "princess", and it is also the fate that this identity will bring to them from now on.
