Chapter Forty-Eight: Please Enter the Urn
The wind blew through the treetops, whimpering, the weather was already hot, and the heat in the wind made people feel a little more irritated.
"How to make up for it? Kill again? The prince roared in a low voice, his face flushed, like a lion who had lost his mind, "Today is the second day!" Where to find him? ”
"You also said that today is the second day," King Qi's eyes changed, "Father Emperor only gave them three days, as long as tomorrow passes, they will be all right." So, you just have to wait and see what happens, and the rest ...... Leave it to the courtiers to do it. ”
"Humph!" The prince flicked his sleeves heavily, and his tone was full of dissatisfaction, "What you said is good, but except for killing Xiao Luzi, I haven't seen you do anything else!" He also killed so badly, which made this palace so uneasy! ”
King Qi pursed his lips and looked up into the distance, the mountains are undulating, green as a cover, what beautiful rivers and mountains! He was slightly stunned for a moment, and when he turned his head again, he was already smiling faintly.
"Don't worry, Brother Huang, it won't be this time."
"So much the best!" After the prince finished speaking, he glared at him fiercely, turned and jumped on his horse, waved his horsewhip, and galloped forward with his guards.
King Qi didn't look back, he didn't even look at the back of the prince leaving, he pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth curled up like a murderous knife, he struck the trunk of the tree next to him with a palm, "bang" a muffled sound, and the leaves on the tree fell like rain.
He stood in the rain of trees, his eyes were misty, and he couldn't see any expression clearly.
You have never known who my King Qi is......
"What kind of person is King Qi?" In the Red Sleeve Garden of King Ning's Mansion, Rong Xi asked.
"Huh?" Leng Yixiu's little eyes were a little gloomy, "Are you interested in him?" ”
Rong Xi was stunned, and couldn't help but be a little helpless, "Knowing yourself and knowing your opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles." ”
Leng Yixiu's eyes lit up, his eyebrows raised, and he looked at Rong Xi a few more times from top to bottom, "Well, I like this." ”
Rong Xi rolled his eyes, "Say it quickly." ”
Leng Yixiu put away the joking expression just now, thought about it seriously and said: "My eighth brother, on the surface, has a good temperament, is gentle and humble, and has a certain reputation among the hundred officials, and his appearance of being indisputable on the surface has also won the trust of many fathers, and he has not been in good health since he had a serious illness when he was fifteen years old, so his father loves him more." ”
Rong Xi squinted his eyes slightly, and a butterfly fell on the treetops not far away, its wings fluttered gently, the colors were gorgeous, and it was very beautiful in the sun, but who would have thought that it would be ugly when it was a bug before?
"You just said, on the surface?" Rong Xi looked at Leng Yixiu, his eyes were clear, and he was close to people's hearts.
Leng Yixiu smiled slightly, she really appreciated Rong Xi more and more, she had a keen intuition, and she was often able to grasp the key point of things at once.
"Since that year when he asked for a holy decree to bring Gonggong Wei back to the mansion, I have been attentive," Leng Yixiu's eyes flashed with a trace of imperceptible emotion, which was so fast that it was unpredictable, "Until that day, when he stopped me seemingly unintentionally, I can conclude that he is nothing more than as simple as he seems." ”
Rong Xi didn't ask, she didn't want to care about these things, who was the emperor, and what did it have to do with her? What she wants to do most now is to save the Rong family, of course...... If anyone wants to stop it, it's no wonder she's going to do it.
The sunset slowly sank, the golden sunlight slowly became soft, reflecting the surrounding clouds, the prince stared at the clouds in the distance, as if he saw a large area of blood, suddenly, the sun seemed to jump down, the surrounding colors became a little more intense, and the sky was darkened.
Eventually, night will fall.
"Your Highness," the female voice was as gentle as water, and her hands were even weaker and boneless, gently resting on his shoulders, "The slave family ordered a soothing incense, you can have dinner for a while, rest early, I didn't sleep well last night." ”
As soon as the prince heard the words "last night", the figure of Xiao Luzi appeared in front of him, his body stiffened slightly, and a trace of bad premonition rose in his heart, looking at the sun that almost sank in the clouds, his eyes also darkened, and a little fear and worry appeared in his eyes.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded in the distance, and the prince's heart jumped, and he looked back in the direction of the sound, and the man ran all the way, as if he was holding something in his hand.
"What for? What kind of system is panicked? The prince was full of irritability and had nowhere to vent, and suddenly aimed his anger at the person who came: "I really don't understand the rules more and more!" ”
The person who came was so frightened that he shrunk his neck and stood there without moving, his breathing stretched slender.
"What is the pestle doing there? What the hell is going on? The prince watched the man not move or speak, and his heart became even more angry.
"Back to Your Highness, the man at the door handed you a letter with a hundred thousand urgent, and the servant was afraid of delaying your business, so he ......" The man wiped the sweat from his forehead and handed the letter out.
The prince took the letter suspiciously, waved his hand and said, "Go down." ”
The one who was pardoned breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly withdrew.
The prince looked at the envelope, and the front read "The prince opened it himself," and on the back it read "One hundred thousand urgent," and he was even more surprised in his heart, and hurriedly opened it to see.
There was only one page in it, light and thin, but it weighed heavily on the prince's heart, making him almost breathless.
The content on it is not long, short and hundreds of words, but every word is like a needle, piercing the prince's heart.
"The slave does things for you, and he has always been loyal, but he doesn't want to, the prince, you are actually a killer, the life of the slave is not valuable, but your life is expensive, if His Royal Highness does not give the slave an explanation, the slave will fight to break the jade with the life of rotten tiles! Tonight, the temple on the outskirts of the city is broken, and the minions are waiting for you. Small way. ”
The prince's eyes swept over and over these words, and he stared at the name fiercely, especially since there was a red private seal mark behind the name!
His mark is like a demonic barrier, turning a thousand times in his heart, scratching his heart and liver, but he never can't, but he always appears in the wrong place, which makes him almost crazy.
"Your Highness......" The woman behind her shouted timidly, her little face a little pale.
The prince glanced back at her, but at this time he had no intention of comforting her again, and clutched the thin page of paper in his hand, the sweat in his palm was slightly soaked, and the paper became wrinkled, so engraved his heart.
After a long time, he looked up at the already dark sky, and the moon hiding behind the clouds showed a faint light, and he tore the letter in his hand fiercely, and strode out with his robe.
Behind him, in the dark room, the woman in red in the shadows smiled lightly, she raised her jade hand lightly, her snow-white fingers looked more moving in the dark night, her nails were glowing with a faint luster, and she gently held the copper spoon used to hold incense, and from the ding, she held the unburned incense ash with sparks.
The gray with the stars in the red dots, in the dark flickering bright, like the scarlet eyes of a beast, she gently moved her steps, thousands of postures, lotus steps like flowers, slowly walked to the porch, wrist lightly, the incense ash in the copper spoon scattered in the wind, the red spark in the wind suddenly lit up, and then completely extinguished, disappeared.
She smiled slightly, this incense is really good...... Put the copper spoon back in its place, take off the delicate red clothes on his body, and put on a black night clothes, the pearls and emeralds on his head were removed one by one, the black hair was tied up high, and a black silk cloth covered his beautiful face.
She walked outside the house, her body was as light as a milk swallow, and soon merged with the night, and the wind swept gently without a trace.
The prince fidgeted in the study, wanting to send a letter to King Qi, but remembering King Qi's attitude this morning, he let himself wait and see, joke! Everyone is coming to the door! Can you still sit still?
He looked at the hour, and the hour was about to arrive, and he walked out of the study.
Night, silent.
It was as if someone had splashed thick ink from the sky, obscuring the moonlight, and only a few faint stars poked their heads out, and five horses galloped along the road, their hooves trampling over, and the dust was flying.
At the front was a black horse, with shiny fur and strong limbs, and the man on the horse was dressed in a dark blue suit with a black cloak on the outside, and he had a calm face, his eyes were impatient, and his anger flashed, it was the prince.
He had already made up his mind, this time, he had to do it himself, that little way, he must watch his head be cut off tonight! He must not be given any more chance of survival!
From a distance, I saw an outline in the dark, the four corners of the eaves were raised, as if the corners of the sky were cut, and there was quiet silence in the dark, the prince looked up, and in front of him was the agreed broken temple, somehow, this broken temple that was not conspicuous during the day, but at this time it looked a little breathless.
As the ruined temple got closer and closer, and the outline became clearer and clearer, the prince slowed down his horse, and several guards behind him immediately circled around the ruined temple a few times, except for the half-human-high weeds and a few towering trees, there was nothing else suspicious.
The first person nodded to the prince, and the prince urged the horse to the broken temple, jumped off the horse and walked to the door of the broken temple, he turned back to the guards and said, "You stay outside, hear my call and go in." ”
"Yes."
The prince took a breath, pressed his hand lightly on the hidden door, pushed it slightly, and there was a "squeak" sound, which was harsh in the night, he frowned, and looked around the room.
The broken temple should have been a long time since anyone came, the huge Buddha statue in the hall was also broken from the shoulder, I can't see what it was, the incense offering table has long been tattered, there is an upside-down incense burner on it, the corners of the table are full of cobwebs, and the broken grass under the table is covered with ash.
The prince did not care about any of this, he searched eagerly, the faint moonlight shining through the broken window, his eyes shrank, and at last he found a man standing in the corner.
