Chapter 20: The Origin of Poison 2
The sky is clear, and the white clouds are ethereal.
Outside the palace gate behind the Weide Palace, between the verdant pine and cypress with splendid branches and the picturesque exquisite rockery, on the path paved by white marble, Leng Qing, who was wearing a white curved deep coat, was half-carrying Yan Ziming, who was wearing a light yellow narrow-sleeved brocade robe, walked forward at a turtle speed step by step and three steps.
This white marble paved path is not straight forward, but very winding, in this verdant pine and cypress with splendid branches and picturesque exquisite rockery, there is a sense of winding paths.
In addition, because the climate in the north of the Tiancheng Continent is extremely cold, even if it is now May, the surrounding area is so quiet that you can't even hear the sound of insects and birds.
If it weren't for the fact that today's sunlight was very bright, and even penetrated the splendid branches of the pine and cypress and projected it onto the ground, sprinkling a scattered and chaotic point of light, Leng Qing would probably wonder if she had opened the door of the temple in the wrong way when she fell into memories before, and accidentally took Yan Ziming into the ghost forest......
Having said that, although Leng Qing was limited by the curved deep clothes on her body, it did not prevent Leng Qing from walking normally. But in order to match Yan Ziming's pace, which was not as slow as the old turtle, Leng Qing had to slow down her pace. In addition, this white marble path is winding and twisting, so that the effort of the small half cup of tea has passed, and Leng Qing and Yan Ziming have only walked out more than ten meters away.
With such a slow speed, Yan Ziming didn't know if he was in a hurry or not, but it was certain that Leng Qing was very anxious and very anxious.
At this moment, Yan Ziming, whose upper body was leaning on Leng Qing's shoulder, was half-carried by Leng Qing and walked forward step by step, gritting his teeth and spitting out two words: "Don't ......"
Although Leng Qing was a little stunned by Yan Ziming's gnashing of teeth, Leng Qing's steps did not stop, and she still walked firmly in the direction of the Qingxin Hall "far away in the sky" along the white marble path under her feet step by step.
However, considering Yan Ziming's current situation, Yan Ziming would never talk nonsense with her, when Yan Ziming's voice just fell. Leng Qing, who was looking ahead, asked, "What not?" "Yan Ziming, this guy doesn't care if he walks slowly, now he even speaks like this, and he can't reach the meaning of the words, it's really worrying!
At that time, I saw Yanzi clearly hearing what he said. Slowly raised his head, "stared" ahead with his long, narrow cloudy Danfeng eyes that could not be focused normally, and gritted his teeth and whispered word by word towards the verdant pine and cypress with splendid branches and the picturesque exquisite rockery: "Qingxin Palace...... Don't ......"
Leng Qing, who was originally concentrating on the road and walking with the goal of the Qingxin Palace, was stunned when she heard this, and the firm steps under her feet finally stopped. Even Yan Ziming, who was walking with Leng Qing's strength, also stopped his steps together.
At the moment when he stopped with Leng Qing, Yan Ziming, who only heard the "eye" ahead, gritted his teeth and whispered word by word: "Ahead...... There are palace people ......"
Looking at the verdant pine and cypress with flourishing branches and the picturesque exquisite rockery in front of him, and looking at the white marble path that was blocked by a delicate rockery at the turning point, Leng Qing stared at the "end" of the white marble path for a while and didn't notice any signs of palace people, so Leng Qing had to look at Yan Ziming with suspicion in his eyes-
"You mean don't go back to the Pure Heart Temple? There are palace people in front?? With a somewhat uncertain question, he slowly spit out from Leng Qing's mouth. Before the words of the previous question fell, I heard Leng Qing's voice turn, and asked again: "Those palace people...... They're coming in our direction?? ”
Hearing Leng Qing's question, maybe Yan Ziming didn't want to waste his strength. didn't open his mouth to answer, Yan Ziming just turned his face in Leng Qing's direction and nodded lightly towards Leng Qing.
Seeing that Yan Ziming, who couldn't see normally, nodded to her right rear, Leng Qing was silent for a while, staring at Yan Ziming's face as red as a steamed hairy crab, and asked very decisively: "In which direction can I avoid those palace people?" ”
In fact, as early as Leng Qing asked, "Are they coming in our direction??" When this question was asked, Leng Qing herself had already become nervous first.
Leng Qing was nervous that if it was really as she guessed, there were really palace people coming in front of the winding white marble path with no end in sight, and regardless of the number of those palace people, at least Leng Qing could be sure. If she continues to walk forward with Yan Ziming, then she and Yan Ziming will inevitably collide head-on with those palace people!
Not to mention that Yan Ziming is in such a half-dead state at the moment, and it is difficult to even walk and talk, even when Yan Ziming is in a normal state in normal times, those palace people who serve in this Weide Palace do not necessarily have much respect and fear of Yan Ziming, the "stupid" prince of the Red Ice Country. One could even say. Those palace people looked down on Yan Ziming, the "stupid" prince.
Leng Qing also lived in the Qingxin Hall of this Weide Palace for nearly a month, although it can't be said how well Leng Qing knows the character and temperament of the palace people who serve in this Weide Palace, but Leng Qing has seen those palace people lazy and slippery and fishing in troubled waters in front of Yan Ziming, the prince of the Red Ice Kingdom.
What's more, he even blatantly said how stupid Yan Ziming, the prince, was, just because Yan Ziming came out of the belly of their queen mother to sit in the position of a prince! If they were to sit in Yan Ziming's position, they would definitely be better than Yan Ziming.
In fact, the words that despise Yanzi's wisdom are not bad. Since Leng Qing entered the Weide Palace of the Red Ice Kingdom Palace, in the less than a month that she has lived in the Qingxin Palace, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Leng Qing has really listened to too many unbearable foul words that the palace people who served in this Weide Palace said to Yan Ziming.
Of course, the words and deeds of these palace people who can be called rebellious can only happen in the absence of Wang Quan and Mu Wen. Regarding this phenomenon, Leng Qing also ridiculed Yan Ziming, the prince of a country, for his deterrent power being worse than Wang Quan and Mu Wen, the two guards with knives.
But at the moment, the only Wang Quan and Mu Wen who are quite deterrent to those palace people who serve in this Weide Palace are not there! What if Leng Qing, a "piano master" whose identity is lower than those palace people, collides head-on with those palace people? Leng Qing remembers...... There are a number of palace people who work in this Weide Palace who don't like her "too much......
Of course, whether the palace people who serve in this Weide Palace like Leng Qing or not is secondary, because Leng Qing doesn't need those palace people to like her. Leng Qing spared her life to the point of being afraid of death, so Leng Qing never wanted to have a good relationship with those palace people who couldn't even control their own lives!
What really made Leng Qing feel a headache was that Yan Ziming and Wang Quan had clearly and clearly told Leng Qing that the palace people who served in this Weide Palace, whether they were eunuchs or palace maids, at least seven of the ten palace people were sent by people from all walks of life to monitor Yan Ziming, the prince of the Red Ice Kingdom!!
Previously in the Hall of Virtue. It was because Mrs. Yurong and Ouyang Ye from Yan Kingdom were hand-picked envoys by the Emperor of Yan State, and because of the diplomatic relations between the two countries, Mrs. Yurong and Ouyang Ye were not too entangled with Yan Ziming, the prince of the Chibing Kingdom, and Leng Qing, who was "condescending to the position of a humble pianist", so that Leng Qing and Yan Ziming could get out smoothly.
But those palace people from all the palaces of the Red Ice Country, the nobles, carefully selected and sent to this Weide Palace in every possible way to monitor Yan Ziming, the prince of the Red Ice Kingdom...... They're better than newcomers. Mrs. Yurong and Ouyang Ye, who are unfamiliar with life, are much more difficult to entangle!
If those ill-minded palace people were to bump into Yan Ziming's half-dead appearance, Leng Qing would be able to predict Yan Ziming's fate with just a little thought.
And Yan Ziming's fate is also Leng Qing's fate......
Just when Leng Qing was so worried, I saw Yan Ziming slowly raise his left hand, which was trembling slightly, and raised it to a certain height. Yan Ziming pointed in the direction of Leng Qing's right side, and at the same time, he could only hear Yan Ziming gritting his teeth word by word and saying, "Go over there...... Deep in the woods...... Nobody ......"
Under Yan Ziming's guidance, Leng Qing turned her head and looked in the direction of Yan Ziming's finger-
I saw that the right side of Leng Qing is also verdant with splendid branches of pine and cypress and picturesque exquisite rockery, but compared with the front of Leng Qing, the pine and cypress and exquisite rockery on the right side of Leng Qing are very irregular in arrangement, and much more dense, less than 100 steps can basically not see what there is on that side.
Leng Qing looked back at Yan Ziming, and saw that Yan Ziming, whose face was as red as a steamed hairy crab, was still "looking at the direction he was pointing with a firm gaze". At that moment, Leng Qing made a decision-
"Okay, let's go over there." A gentle tone, a soft voice, but with absolute trust.
After saying so, I saw Leng Qing half-carrying Yan Ziming to turn around, raising his legs and stepping, Leng Qing took Yan Ziming out of the range of the white marble path under their feet, stepped on the solid black land outside the white marble path, and walked step by step in the direction that Yan Ziming pointed out.
Leng Qing thought that the direction Yan Ziming pointed out was just Yan Ziming's guess based on his feelings. Not really! Even though Yan Ziming's eyes couldn't focus on things normally at this time, and his ears were faintly deaf, Yan Ziming relied on his own powerful internal breath. Yan Ziming could still tell which direction there were people and how many people, and whether those people were close to them or away from them; And which direction no one is safe, Yan Ziming can tell by virtue of his powerful internal breath.
Although Leng Qing didn't know the reason for this, Leng Qing still chose to believe in Yan Ziming's decision! It's just because Leng Qing has let go of her vigilance against Yan Ziming, Leng Qing has begun to gradually believe in Yan Ziming!
"You just now. Weide Palace, too wordy...... "After being carried by Leng Qing and bypassing a few rockeries, Yan Ziming suddenly gritted his teeth and said softly.
Leng Qing had already learned Yan Ziming's way of speaking several times before, and the words did not reach the meaning, so Leng Qing, who was concentrating on the road, heard the words and almost immediately understood the meaning of Yan Ziming's words.
Seeing Leng Qing half-carrying Yan Ziming "shuttling" between the pine and cypress and the exquisite rockery, Leng Qing lowered her voice and explained to Yan Ziming: "Is it okay not to be verbose?" You also know that Mrs. Yurong and Ouyang Ye were originally here to find fault today, and they have nothing to say, do you think they can give up the matter of asking you to move me out of the Qingxin Palace so lightly and leave by yourself?
Besides, can you not know the subordinates you taught yourself? What kind of temper is Shepherd, you don't know? If you really make a fuss regardless of it, and let Mu Wen block that Ouyang Ye, do you think Mu Wen can do it to a woman in her forties, who has no martial arts, and even has no power to restrain a chicken?
If that Mrs. Yurong took advantage of the gap between Mu Wen and Ouyang Ye to follow us out of the Weide Palace, do you say that I left you to deal with her? Or will you let her pester us until you find out that something is wrong with you? Whether it's the former or the latter, the last unlucky one is you, His Royal Highness the Prince! You're embarrassed to blame me for being verbose! ”
At this point, Leng Qing suddenly stopped talking, glanced up at Yan Ziming, and saw that Yan Ziming was still shrugging his head weakly, and his dense and curved black eyebrows were almost wrinkled into the word "Chuan", feeling the scorching temperature from Yan Ziming's body not decreasing but increasing, Leng Qing sighed silently: Such a high temperature, if it weren't for her natural fear of cold, and the temperature around her right now was low, I was afraid that she couldn't stand it anymore! Even she has this unbearable feeling, how painful it is for Yanziming!!
Although Leng Qing was full of emotion in her heart, she didn't know what to do to make Yan Ziming less painful, so Leng Qing could only withdraw her sad gaze, continue to look at the road, and continue to walk towards the depths of those pine and cypress and exquisite rockeries.
After bypassing a well-carved rockery more than one person high, Leng Qing suddenly thought that although she didn't know what to do to relieve Yan Ziming's pain, if she kept talking to Yan Ziming and distracted Yan Ziming, wouldn't Yan Ziming feel the pain in his body so clearly?
As soon as this idea came out, Leng Qing immediately lowered her voice and continued to say to Yan Ziming: "Seriously, I have grown so big, although I have not seen many diplomatic envoys, but it is the first time I have seen such a reckless and impulsive envoy as Ouyang Ye, a mighty general from Yan Kingdom. I just said a few words accusing Mrs. Yurong, and I didn't really do anything to Mrs. Yurong, then Ouyang Ye was going to kill me! (To be continued.) )
