Chapter 11: Affection, the Mystery of Falling from a Cliff

In the afternoon, he took me, Xiwei and Qiuyi in two carriages and returned to the palace. Zimo was happy to see him return to the palace, but when she saw Xiwei behind me, her face turned pale and she looked at me puzzled. I also understand her, Xiwei's appearance can be above me and her, if I were her, of course, I would feel like a great enemy.

Zimo, don't blame me, I have no choice, I have to think of ways to distract your husband.

A group of us entered the house, the floors are stacked, the carved beams and painted buildings are inexhaustible, the glazed tiles, the swallow cornices, the lacquer painted walls, the white jade stone steps, the blue brick floor paving...... The sea of shade flowers, the verandah and the rain corridor are connected with the main hall, the side hall and the main house, wing room, pavilion, pavilion, pavilion, flower room, kitchen, back light room, etc., quite have the feeling of "five steps on the first floor, ten steps on the first floor, the corridor waist and back, and the eaves and teeth are pecked". I used to be in a corner of the inner courtyard, and I only felt that the decoration was elegant, but I didn't know that the outer courtyard was so golden and brilliant when viewed from this point.

The verandah is roundabout, through the weeping flower door, you will see the huge inner courtyard, the two sides of the pink wall are full of cinnamon, the strong fragrance is fragrant, and a pot of pots is placed around it, and all kinds of famous chrysanthemums in the form are thousands of forms.

And what I like even more are the two begonia trees that have borne fruit at the entrance of the main hall of the inner courtyard, and the small yellow and pink fruits with green leaves are very lovely.

I pointed to the begonia fruit and said to Xi Wei: "I like begonias the most, but unfortunately it's not the flowering season." Do you know how to make preserves?"

Xi smiled and said, "Madam, if it is a candied fruit, it is the most sweet and sour and delicious now. ”

The king of Qinnan also smiled and instructed Ah Xin to send someone to fetch the long ladder and the pole to pick.

Entering the main hall, King Qinnan and Zimo sat on the top, while I sat on the left side below, and Xiwei and Qiuyi stood on each side.

After the next person served tea, Zi Mo smiled and said to King Qinnan: "Lord, since Mrs. likes begonias, Tang Xin Pavilion has many Xifu begonias and weeping silk begonias, why don't you give them to Mrs. to live?" Or because she heard Xiwei call me "madam", she also changed me to call me Mrs.

King Qinnan took a sip of tea and frowned slightly.

Zi Mo's expression changed slightly, and she asked cautiously, "Lord Wang, don't you like this Yunjian tea?"

King Qinnan smiled and said: "You are the princess of this king, and you have full control over the affairs of the inner court." ”

When Zi Mo heard this, she was overjoyed, and King Qinnan's words were undoubtedly for her to stand up in front of everyone and determine her status as the only hostess. She glanced at Xiwei and said, "That Xiwei girl ......"

Xi Wei is wearing a jade-colored cigarette silver silk brocade skirt today, although it is plain, but the materials are exquisite, coupled with her elegant and outstanding makeup and the clear air of the book between her eyebrows, people with a clear eye know that she is different from other maids.

I answered her with a smile: "Xiwei and Qiuyi just live with me." "Xiwei must be with me, such a beauty is the most suitable to attract the king of Qinnan.

Zimo nodded, and said to me again: "Miss Xiwei and Qiu Yi have just arrived, and there are many unfamiliar people in the palace, so I will pick a few more capable girls for Mrs. ”

I nodded, but I caught a glimpse of Xi hanging her head slightly, her face was slightly puzzled, I guess she should be strange why the housewife would speak to me so respectfully, as for my self-proclaimed words, of course she is not surprised, the prince is reluctant to call himself "this king" in front of me, and I call myself "I" in the prince, let alone in front of Zimo.

The green girl behind Zi Mo has been staring at me since she entered the mansion, listening to Zi Mo say that she wants to pick a few capable girls for me, and she looked at me with a burst of anticipation, I just winked at her and smiled, and did not ask Zi Mo to let her come over, I also have my considerations, Zi Mo is also the first to enter the palace, if I even want to go to Lu Yi, outsiders really want to think that I am "pampered and arrogant", I don't want to make trouble for no reason, I just want to leave with a steady look.

At this time, the king of Qinnan said to Lu Yi: "You take Xiwei and them to clean up first, you are more familiar with the living conditions of the lady, and you also stay in Tangxin Pavilion." ”

Lu Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down to thank En for receiving the order, and took Xi Wei Qiuyi and the two to retreat, and then King Qinnan retreated from the other people in the hall.

I was confused, he got up and took Zimo over, and stretched out his hand to me with a soft smile, I got up but didn't hold his hand, he withdrew his hand with a little embarrassment, and said to me with a smile: "Come with me." ”

Zi Mo and I followed him to the study, and saw him walk to the treasure cabinet, turned left and right a few times to one of the sweet white glazed porcelain bottles, the cabinet automatically opened to both sides, and a dark passage appeared under it, he took the glass lamp hanging on the side, lit it with a fire fold, and led me and Zi Mo down.

This secret passage is not too long, not long to see a stone door, King Qin Nan took out two different forms of special-shaped characteristics of the copper key from his arms, each embedded in the groove on both sides of the stone door, and turned left and right, the stone door automatically opened, a bright secret room appeared in front of me.

I thought that this secret room should be full of gold, silver, jewelry, rare treasures, but it is similar to the ordinary bedroom of the palace, the only difference is that on the top of the secret room, there are five huge night pearls.

King Qinnan handed me and Zi Mo the bronze keys that had just opened the door, and said slowly: "The porcelain vase on the cabinet outside should be turned left, right five times, and then left three times;

Zimo and I nodded and looked at him in surprise.

He added: "Recently, this king has been repeatedly secretly manipulated, and I am afraid that it will affect the two of you, so I told this secret room that if you are in danger, you can hide here." ”

I didn't have the heart to think, you are strong in martial arts, and there are many guards around you, how dangerous is it? Zi Mo looked at him with a worried face.

After he glanced at me gently, he went to clasp Zimo's hand with both hands, stared at her and said, "You are the wife of this king, and this king loves and respects you." So there's another thing that the king wants to consult with you. ”

Zi Mo was flattered, and her eyes were slightly moist: "Lord Wang, please speak." ”

"This king wants to marry Xin'er as a flat wife......!

"I don't agree!" As soon as he said this, my eyes widened in shock, and before Zi Mo could answer, I blurted out myself, and I stuffed the key in my hand into Zi Mo's hand, "You are the princess, such a valuable item should be kept by you, and I should not be given it by an outsider." ”

Zi Mo didn't expect me to react so much, hurriedly pushed, saw that I just refused to accept it, turned her head and saw that the prince was also injured, she probably couldn't bear it, so anxious that she suddenly cried and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to me: "Miss, your words are tormenting Zi Mo, the princess should have been you......!

I couldn't help it, so I looked at King Qinnan for help, but he didn't look at me, but laughed at himself: "Blame this king for being too anxious......"

Zi Mo said to King Qinnan with tears in her eyes: "Lord, young lady, she just hasn't remembered the past yet. Then, she turned to me and said, "Miss, Zi Mo really can't bear to see you and the prince again. You have always thought that you have another heart to belong to, but on the way to escape the mansion, you heard that the prince asked for his own order to fight against the northern plain Konu, you were anxious and worried, you said, that Konu has always been brave and good at fighting, there are two experienced border generals, including the old man, are defeated, you are afraid that something will happen to the prince, you want to go back and persuade him......"

The more King Qinnan listened, his face became more and more happy, and he asked anxiously, "What about after that?"

Zimo knelt down and moved to King Qinnan, bursting into tears, I was surprised, I just refused to love, why did she react so abnormally, could it be that Li Xin'er's murder was really related to her?

"Zi Mo is guilty!" Sure enough, she sobbed and remorseful, "After that, Miss and Zi Mo want to go to find Lu Yi and come back, go back together." But who knew that suddenly there was an extremely piercing cry in my ears, a giant bird with black feathers and a red crown on its head hovered above our heads, and the giant bird was weirdly carrying a human face, which frightened me and Miss to flee to the cliff in a panic, and Miss ...... accidentally Zi Mola couldn't ...... "She cried even harder, and her body trembled like a sieve.

King Qinnan should not have known about Li Xin'er's fall off the cliff, so he listened to it suspiciously, and looked at me with great pity.

Zi Mo continued: "The strange bird saw the young lady fall off the cliff, so he left, and Zi Mo was really afraid, but he was afraid that others would not believe in the strange bird, and he was afraid that he would be wronged, so he took a pair of young lady's replacement shoes from the package, threw one on the cliff, and held the other in his arms, pretending that the young lady accidentally fell off the cliff...... The slave is guilty, and the slave should not be ......" She cried until she fainted.

I see, if she didn't mention the bird, I would have been skeptical, after all, if the bird with a human face hadn't really seen it, who would believe it?

I went over to help her again: "I remember that bird!

She couldn't afford it, and was ashamed: "No, Miss, the slave maid is selfish, the slave and maid not only concealed the real reason why the young lady fell off the cliff, but the slave and the maid also concealed from the prince that the young lady was worried about the prince." If the slave and maid had already told the matter, the prince would not be angry and thought that the young lady had escaped marriage and married the slave maid, if the young lady knew that she was also interested in the prince before, maybe she would not be so indifferent to the prince......"

I don't know what Li Xin'er would think if she heard these words, but I understand Zi Mo, what she said is not a big deal, it is more human nature, not to mention that Li Xin'er is indeed no longer real. I wondered why the human-faced bird I had also seen attacked Li Xin'er? That bird should have been raised by the ghost-faced man, but I don't know if this matter has anything to do with Master?

I didn't look at the look of King Qinnan, but I heard Zimo still crying: "Miss, you don't know, on the day of the wedding, the prince was drunk and unconscious, and mistook the slave maid for you, and the prince even called your maid name in his dream, and he only thought of you......" Then she kept kowtowing to the king of Qinnan: "The slave and maid are guilty, please condemn the prince." ”

How can there be a big wife begging another woman to accept her husband's reason, I sighed lightly, why are women in this era so humble, men can have three wives and four concubines, and women have to accept it silently.

I glanced at King Qinnan, but his expression was complicated and thoughtful, this big pig's trotters, which is the only one person in his heart, this person is obviously fake drunk and doing "things", thinking about the blessings of Qi people.

"Lord Wang~" I deliberately called out shyly.

He shook his body and looked at me in surprise and smiled. I snorted at him at Zi Mo, he understood what I meant, leaned over to help Zi Mo, and said softly: "This king doesn't blame you, don't cry anymore." ”

Zi Mo was excited when she heard him say this, and she sobbed low on his chest, and he also hugged him gently, and his eyes drifted to me leisurely.

I laughed in my heart, didn't this man want to see if I was jealous?

Suddenly, the abdomen began to swell and discomfort again, and the numbness and numbness became faintly painful. Seeing that my expression was wrong, King Qinnan hurriedly let go of Zimo to help me, but I avoided it: "Xu is just too crazy in the carriage, and there is still some discomfort in my abdomen, I want to go back and rest." ”
