Chapter 38
In order to prevent accidents, the kings of the past dynasties built dense secret passages in the deep palace, which is the secret of the Heavenly Family. Now that the Zichen Hall is heavily guarded by Yulin, if you want to slip away from under the nose of the Xiao Clan, you have to seek the secret passage of the Shenfu.
"This road is also what I accidentally discovered after entering the Zichen Palace, although I don't know if I can finish the Hanyuan Palace, but according to the direction of the secret road, it shouldn't be wrong. In the dark road, Sijiu led the way.
I followed closely and said, "The main hall of the emperor and queen has always been connected with each other, so it seems that there should be no mistake. ”
As I walked, there was a faint commotion ahead, accompanied by the messy sound of the objects falling to the ground, which should have caused some kind of dispute. When I came out of the dark passage, I found that the position I was in was the backyard of Hanyuan Hall where I was talking to Jing Hong during the day, and I looked into the brightly lit hall from a distance, only to see several figures entangled together, and the scuffling shadows were projected obliquely on the silk screen window.
"Princess, there seem to be outsiders in the palace. Forty-nine looked inside and asked, "Do you want to go in?"
The periphery of Hanyuan Hall is almost the same as that of Zichen Palace, and Yulin Wei surrounded it with three layers of land outside the three layers, and I couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's just jumping from one cage to another, what's so terrible? I'm a princess, no one would dare to be presumptuous to me." When I said this, I didn't have the slightest confidence in my heart. Everything I have comes from my surname and bloodline, and if one day the people who made them noble die one by one, shall I live like an ant or shall I retain its last dignity as a result of destruction?
In the splendid hall, Lan Shao stood proudly in the center, looking defiantly at Bi Yan, who was already pale, on the other side. Behind her stood Cai Dong and Cai Xi, who had just risen from the ground, and the smooth ground was sprinkled with a puddle of brown decoction, and the room was filled with bitter and sour taste.
Bi Yu stroked her chest with one hand, and she almost wanted to fall down under her feet, but fortunately she was supported by Zhizhi. The two of them looked embarrassed, and when she saw it in her eyes, she couldn't help but laugh and said: "Queen Mother, now that you can't protect yourself, you still want to keep the fetus in your womb? If you can't feed it to her again, take care of the skin on both of you!"
Cai Dong and Cai Xi all shook and immediately responded: "Yes!"
"No need!" My voice suddenly sounded from the door, so that everyone in the hall was shocked, I walked into the hall slowly, and said quietly: "Now this is more and more unruly, the Xiao family has committed a bully, even you Lan Shao can't hold back your nature for fear that the world will not be chaotic." The emperor's heirs can't be coveted by anyone, if you dare to go wild here again, don't blame me for not thinking about sisterhood!"
"Sister?" Lan Shao's expression was as if he had heard a big joke, and he laughed, "Isn't it shameful for you to say a title to me at this moment that even you and I have never recognized? Once your blood was nobler than mine, but from this day forward, I will no longer live under your Zhaoyuan. 'The First Princess of the Great Zhou'? I'm afraid it's going to change hands tomorrow!"
"So do you want to prove that you and the Xiao clan are as ruthless as you are, or do you decide to break off with Gao Jiaen? I advise you to dispel these thoughts, and none of them will make you the first to be remembered by the world. ”
Lan Shao forced a cold snort from between his teeth, his eyes were cold and piercing: "Then how are you remembered by the world?
I swept her face lightly and said, "Even if I am remembered by the world like this, it is my nature that I have not deliberately disguised, so I admit it." If you use your set to bluff people, and you have two faces all day long, I am afraid that you will be exhausted to death by yourself before you become the first. ”
"Gao Xiyue!" Lan Shao was annoyed and angry, "Now that you have been reduced to a prisoner, you dare to be so presumptuous! If I don't teach you a lesson, I'm afraid I won't be able to convince you!" With a blow of her palms, countless Yulin guards hidden under the pillars and behind the curtain in the hall swarmed out, and the blades flashing with cold light in their hands pointed directly at me, "Come on, the eldest princess of Zhaoyuan left the Zichen Palace without permission and took her down for me!"
"Who dares to be presumptuous!" Sijiu slammed and shook everyone back, "You guys open your eyes and see! In front of the eldest princess of Zhaoyuan, who dares to touch a single hair of her, beware of the emperor to behead him all over the house another day!"
As soon as these words came out, Yu Linwei hesitated. Now that the emperor is banned, the Xiao family has the upper hand, but the victory or defeat is undecided.
"You are a slave but a protector, aren't you and that palace maid both people from the Lingxi Palace? Now that one is serving the emperor and the other is following the queen, your master is really good at manipulating! I heard that you have a leg with this palace maid, is it because of this reason that your master sent you away? Otherwise, why would a powerful person be sent to someone else's palace?" Lan Shao's gaze kept going back and forth between Sijiu and Zhizhi, and the words he said were even more embarrassing.
"The princess is a daughter, how can she say such outrageous words before she leaves the cabinet? The slave maid and Sijiu are just the servants of the heavenly family, and no matter who they serve, they are the blessings of the slaves. A cold and calm voice sounded, and Zhizhi stood up and leaned over to Lan Shaodao.
Zhizhi's words may have hit the sore spot in Lan Shao's heart, her face instantly changed color, and her tone was a little higher: "You dare to talk back?
"Wait!" I immediately stopped, my tone softening a little. Not to mention anything else, these fifty boards will kill Zhizhi. "Today you have the upper hand, I can only accept my fate. Zhizhi and Sijiu collided with you, and you said how can you let them go?"
Lan Shao stared at me, smiled suddenly, and said, "It's very simple, kneel down and beg me, if I'm in a good mood, don't worry about your minions." ”
"Princess......" Sijiu looked at me again and again, as if he was about to step forward to stop me. I stopped him silently, looking at the hall full of Yu Linwei, the clenched fists in my hands had already forced out a cold sweat, gritted my teeth, closed my eyes and fell to the ground.
"Princess!" came the exclamations of Bi Yu, Si Jiu and Zhi Zhi in my ears, and I just looked at Lan Shao, who was looking at me condescendingly with a distorted smile.
"Gao Xingyue, in the end, you have today! No matter how tough you are, there are times when you beg for mercy! It's really exciting to see you like this......" She leaned down, and a slender and beautiful face approached me, but it was magnified to a hideous point for no reason, making me feel like I was close to a three-foot ice abyss. "But I've changed my mind, and I'm going to do something that makes me happier. Since that palace maid wants to protect her so much, then I will let you watch her die!"
As soon as the words fell, I didn't have time to react. There seemed to be a sound of wind passing by, and the cold light in front of me burst out, leaving only a white light in my eyes. The knife rises and falls, but in an instant, it is so fast that it is almost the moment I blink. A terrible long scream pierced the sky above the black cloud pressure realm of Hanyuan Palace, and a Yu Lin Wei pulled out a long knife that stabbed deep into Zhizhi's abdomen, and the blood sprayed out in an instant, and a few drops fell on my face, still with a blazing temperature.
"No—" I cried out in heartbreak, stumbling up from the ground, pushing Lan Shao away and running towards Zhizhi.
"Gong ...... The princess ...... "Zhizhi fell in a pool of blood, and called me weakly, her face as pale as the snowy fields of the mountains, "No...... Don't come near me...... will stain your shoes......"
"I ...... I ......, "I was suddenly helpless like a young child, tears rolling in my eyes. At this moment, I finally understood that I had long been accustomed to Zhizhi's nagging in my ear for decades, even if I annoyed her on weekdays, even if I had been separated from her for a long time, I still took her every word to heart. Because in my subconscious, she has already become my confidant in this deep palace. The same is true at the moment. It was also until this moment that I did not know that I had pushed her away and given her a future with no way out, which would make me regret it every moment from the moment I understood.
Bi Yan on the side was already fainting with fright. I couldn't hold back my tears anymore, and knelt down beside her, crying silently: "Will you wash my shoes when they are dirt......y?" So don't fall to the ground and scare me anymore...... My shoes are dirty, what would I do without you......"
"Princess...... You've grown up, but you've been pretending not to admit it...... Slave...... The slave is so painful, I can't serve you and the emperor anymore...... Even if the shoes are dirty again...... Can't cry ......."
Zhizhi's staccato words made me almost collapse, and the blood gradually spread over my knees, and her face became paler and paler, as if she would leave me at any moment. I grabbed her hand and shook my head, "I can't...... No, I always thought that if I became ruthless and cold, I could protect all the important people around me, but you still left me one by one...... The shoes were dirty, I was reluctant to throw them away, I wanted to cry, but everyone said I couldn't cry...... I'm so tired, can you stay with me...... I'm actually scared to be alone here...... Let's go back to Fengming Mountain together, and the star slave is still waiting for us there, where I will no longer be afraid of my shoes getting dirty...... Zhizhi, you say, okay?"
A soft light suddenly appeared in Zhizhi's eyes, as if she had seen the scene of the past, and even her mouth was full of smiles. After a long time, he tilted his head slightly and said to me, "Okay, princess...... I'm waiting for you in Fengming Mountain with Xingnu......"
Cold hands slipped from my clenched palms, and fell silently in pools of blood. My soul was emptied for a moment, and my mind went blank. At this moment, Lan Shao's words sounded impartially behind me, like pouring cold snow water over my head.
"Next, who should die to see you cry?"
