Chapter 192: Transfiguration
The corners of Liuyanqing's mouth tugged, knowing that Ling Xue'er must be trying to provoke when she asked this, Liuyanqing didn't pay much attention to it, and still took advantage of the previous topic. The latest free chapters of the book can be found here.
"Do you still have white pigeons in Zhang Meiren's yard?" Liuyanqing asked slowly.
One of the concubines quickly replied flatteringly: "Sister Rin, I don't know, when there was turmoil in our Night King's Mansion ten days ago, the birdcage in Zhang Meiren's courtyard seemed to have been torn by some hard object, causing so many white pigeons to fly away and have not come back yet. ”
The carrier pigeon is a creature that remembers the way back, but it is not known whether Zhang Meiren used the white pigeon to deliver letters during this period. Besides, I don't know if I have been Gu, if I have been Gu, if I have been Gu, there is no need to hide Zhang Meiren when I return to the Night King's Mansion, but if I am not Gu, if I let Zhang Meiren know, it will definitely be unfavorable to myself, besides, there have been too many things that have happened recently, was Bai Yan in his sleep ordered by Kong Mingjin to send himself back to the Night King's Mansion?
During the period when Liuyanqing was recuperating in the Night King's Palace, he didn't see Yuanfu for a long time, which made Liuyanqing start to get anxious, and Liuyanqing must be cautious now, so he ordered his subordinates to put Zhang Meiren under house arrest with the hand of Kong Mingye, and even sent people to watch Zhang Meiren's every move closely.
Kong Mingye rarely accompanies Liuyanqing these days, and even whenever he sees Liuyanqing, he doesn't smile coldly, and what makes Liuyanqing even more sad is that when Kongmingye looks at his stomach, a strange look flashes in his eyes, as if he is very disgusted.
In the evening of this day, Liuyanqing went to the backyard of the Night King's Palace accompanied by Xiao Lu, this backyard was originally intended for Ling Feiliu, but Ling Feiliu did not come back for a long time, and the furnishings behind the bamboo curtain were still the same as before.
"Concubine Ben hasn't seen Prince Ling these days, is she going back to Tula country? Why haven't you heard it mentioned? Liuyanqing asked.
Xiao Lu smiled: "Niangniang doesn't know, since the confrontation with the rivers and lakes, Prince Ling has not appeared, Concubine Xue asked His Royal Highness the Night King, just said that Prince Ling dealt with some things, and he will come back in time." ”
"By the way, Xiaolu, is your father's condition better? is back so soon, this concubine can apply to let you go home and spend more time with your father. Liu Yanqing said.
Xiao Lu didn't speak, his steps subconsciously slowed down, and he lowered his head and whispered: "Daddy has died of illness, my mother is sick and can't get out of bed now, my ten-year-old sister is taking care of it, but it's not a big deal, as long as you recuperate for a while, a few days ago, Concubine Xue Niangniang also called the imperial doctors of the Night King's Mansion to go to the doctor." ”
Liu Yanqing looked at Xiao Lu's sad appearance, and couldn't help but think of the night when the sword light and shadow were on that day, and Lu He gave up his life to block the sword for himself.
"Green Lotus...... She's gone. Liuyanqing stared into the distance, stopped, and slowly sat down on the wooden corridor.
Xiao Lu nodded: "Well, the slave knows." ”
Then there was a long silence, until a voice interrupted Liuyanqing and Midori's thoughts.
From the side door slowly came a sturdy maidservant, although she did not have the slenderness of an ordinary woman, but her face was extremely delicate, and even her gestures had a charming feeling. She held a basket in her hand, stuffed with full clothes, and slowly walked over while wiping the beads of sweat from her forehead.
"She's a handmaid here?" Liuyanqing asked.
Xiao Lu looked up and down, and then shook his head: "Could it be the new maidservant girl who has come recently?" The slave and maid have not seen it. ”
Only then did the maid realize that the smoke was clear, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "The slave and maid have seen Concubine Rin, and Concubine Rin's mother is healthy." ”
"Get up." Liuyanqing raised his eyebrows, "Your name is Zhanyan?" Good name, what are you doing. ”
Zhan Yanqing's white little face lightly glanced at the flowing smoke, and then snorted: "The slave maid is ordered by His Royal Highness the Night King to come to clean up this backyard, and the Ling Prince doesn't know when he will come back, so the slave and maid must be sorted out." ”
Liu Yanqing suddenly saw Zhan Yan holding the basket, which was actually held with two hands, and recalled that the maids in this mansion held the basket in their arms in order to prevent their clothes from falling off easily, and it was rare for Zhan Yan to hold it so unscrupulously.
"Concubine Ben suddenly remembered, there is a jar of tea from the southern country in the bedroom of the Night King's Palace, Xiao Lu, you go and bring it for the concubine." Liuyanqing said.
"Yes, Niangniang, Miss Zhanyan, please take care of Concubine Rin for me." After Xiao Lu finished speaking, he trotted all the way, and did not forget to look back at Liuyanqing.
Liuyanqing waved his hand to Xiao Lu with a smile, and then said slowly: "Who are you, what are you going to do when you come to the Night King's Mansion!" ”
Zhan Yan looked around in surprise, and then pointed to himself: "Is Niang Niang talking to the slave?" ”
Liuyanqing nodded, watched Madame Hong jump quickly in the grass, and then said: "First of all, you have revealed a loophole, that is, your posture of holding the basket does not look like a handmaiden doing this, and your hands are not as rough as ordinary handmaidens, although the skin is not too white, but it is still smooth and delicate, let me ask, can an ordinary handmaiden be like this?" ”
"Concubine Rin, you ...... What do you mean by this, slave maid, slave maid has just come to the Night King's Mansion, and I don't know the rules. ”
"Since you are a new maidservant, you must not have seen the main concubine of the Night King's Mansion, but why did you recognize this concubine at a glance as the main palace lady of the Night King's Mansion when we haven't met?"
Zhan Yan's eyes wandered, and then when he looked at Liuyanqing, he suddenly stopped having a panicked look, and gradually became calm, and even those sharp eyes were Liuyanqing clearly.
"Who the hell are you!" Liuyanqing looked at him.
Zhan Yan chuckled, put the basket in his hand on the ground, and then raised a hand and slowly moved it to his cheek, tearing off a layer of white on his face in front of Liuyanqing, so Liuyanqing saw that a woman in front of him was instantly replaced by a man who looked like a scholar.
Liuyanqing stepped back, his eyes full of incredulity: "You...... Are you White Rock? Why? ”
Bai Yan took off the clothes on his body unhurriedly, and then said slowly: "The second time I came to the Night King's Mansion, I didn't expect to see that Concubine Rin was so energetic, hmph, now I am relieved." ”
"You...... Just now...... What's going on? Liuyanqing was speechless in surprise.
Bai Yan said slowly: "This is the disguise technique that we have passed down from generation to generation, so the emperor wants to keep us doing things for him to achieve his goal, my disguise technique is more skillful, but our family only likes to wander in a trance, I don't like court life, so my father and mother were held hostage by him, some time ago because I was not ordered to assassinate someone, so my mother was killed by Kong Mingjin, in order to make me obediently not resist, so I played a witchcraft on my father." ”
"You saved me, didn't you? I'm not being tricked, isn't it. "Liuyanqing is like grasping a life-saving straw.
Bai Yan muttered: "Of course you weren't tricked, I saved you at the last moment, and then temporarily helped you recover your strength at the inn, and brought you back to the Night King's Mansion before the emperor chased and killed." ”
"Aren't you Kong Mingjin's subordinate? Why help me? ”
"Because the interesting thing has reached the expected goal, the emperor is now angry with anxiety, haha." Bai Yan laughed, as if there was an unfathomable terror in his eyes.
"Isn't it...... Your daddy ......" Liuyanqing had a faint bad premonition in his heart.
Bai Yan smiled bitterly, there was a little sadness between his eyebrows, and after a long time, he said slowly: "He is about to die." ”
Liu Yanqing gasped, looking at Bai Yan and not knowing what to say.
"It's hidden in the Night King's Mansion, it's best not to let Kong Mingjin find you, but ......" Bai Yan glanced at Liuyanqing and said: "If you want to leave here, it's best to run away, the farther the better!" ”
The smoke was clear, so he said, "Why should I run away?" ”
Bai Yan smiled, and then said, "I came here this time to tell you that I don't need a round husband anymore. ”
"Why, your father is still saved, by the way, I'll find a way to contact Yuanfu now, you wait." Liu Yanqing said anxiously, because Bai Yan saved his life, of course he wanted to help.
"No need, there's no need for that anymore." Bai Yan's words were extremely vicissitudes, which made Liuyanqing's heart annoyed for no reason.
The air suddenly became quiet, and the sound of the Red Lady jumping in the grass could be heard, and the distant gate was opened, followed by the sound of light footsteps.
"Someone is coming, it's time for me to leave, you're so self-conscious!" Bai Yan said.
"Thank you, thank you for saving me."
Liuyanqing looked at the back and muttered.
Xiao Lu walked slowly with the tea leaves, looked at the basket on the ground, and looked around curiously: "Huh? Where did Zhan Yan go? Things haven't been packed up, really, the newcomer is so hypocritical. ”
Liuyanqing stared into the distance and said slowly, "Little Green, what has His Royal Highness the Night King been busy with lately?" ”
Xiao Lu was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "His Royal Highness the Night King seems to be training those soldiers, but speaking of which, His Royal Highness the Night King seems to have not visited Concubine Rin for a long time. ”
If he was happy, why did he still show that expression, as if he was disgusted by it.
After a few days of plain life, Liuyanqing rarely saw Kong Mingye, every time he saw Kongmingye hurriedly walking in front of him, the cold and arrogant cheeks never stayed on himself, some just glanced at it in a hurry, Liuyanqing couldn't remember when he talked to Kong Mingye, maybe he didn't talk to him when he first came.
