"Madam, Yun Chu has been for you from beginning to end. Please cherish it and live it well. Yun Chu helped Mrs. Qimo out of the side hall, the voice was getting closer and closer to us, Yuan Jue and I hurriedly dodged to the side and watched them walk out of the side hall.

Mrs. Qimo stopped, and I retracted my outstretched head in a panic.

But I heard her say, "Yun Chu, I really want to go back to that time, before I entered this palace. We can frolic and play with impunity, we can run around on horseback. But this palace has trapped me all my life, and it has also trapped you all my life. ”

"Yun Chu will always be by his wife's side, even if he is trapped for a lifetime, what can he do." Yun Chu persuaded politely, "Madam, Yun Chu will send you back to rest first, it's not early, you are not in good health, you can't work too hard." ”

Mrs. Qimo hesitated, and Yun Chu helped her to walk out step by step.

Hearing them leave, Yuan Jue and I secretly poked our heads out again, and sure enough, there was no movement around at all.

"Where is this? How did you know here? "I don't think this courtyard is much different from the other palaces in the palace, maybe it has been abandoned because no one has lived in it for a long time. This place is really a bit remote, even if it is abandoned because of this, it is not surprising, but it is necessary to turn so many complicated paths to get here, how did Mrs. Qimo and Yun Chu end here.

"Come on, they've forgotten the lock." Yuan Jue was not surprised, he walked to the side hall and looked inside for a moment, and then turned around and called me.

I stepped forward and watched him pull the door open and walk in. I followed suit. "Be careful, Yun Chu won't come back suddenly, let's lock us up here again."

"My mother is so sad, I'm afraid Yun Chu won't be able to leave for a while." Yuan Jue said, walking towards the inner room of the side hall.

Yuan Jue moved open a half-rotten screen, there was a secret door behind the screen, we pushed open the secret door and walked in. I was immediately stunned by the qiē in front of me, "This ...... What is this? ”

A large vacant room.

Around the room hung strange paintings, the canvases were animal skins with irregular edges and uneven sizes. The pattern on the painting is strange. It's like a special totem. There were nine oil lamps hanging in the room, and the small flames were burning but not big, and the whole room was dim and abnormal, and the animal skin totems on the wall were even more weird.

Oil lamps are hung in a special way. I walked to the middle of the room. Look up at the nine oil lamps. It seems that each one is connected to each one. Like the formation, the shape is strange. The oil lamp burns, giving off a unique smell. It was fishy and smelly, like mud.

I have a copper tripod next to me, and my waist is high. The tripod has three legs, but it does not stand on the ground, and there is a copper basin under each foot, and a copper basin is burning charcoal, and a copper basin is water, and a copper basin is earth.

If charcoal fire is fire, clear water is water, and copper basin is gold, then the five elements are only lacking wood.

Wood......

I searched around the room, but there was no wood.

"Scared? Once I couldn't sleep at night, so I wanted to go to Aunt Yun Chu, but as soon as I walked to the door of my mother's dormitory, I heard a small movement. I hid and watched, and then followed my mother and Aunt Yun Chu to find this place. Yuan Jue said, "However, the last time I came, this place was still locked, and I didn't see what the situation was here." ”

Wood...... Chinese parasol tree...... The phoenix seems to have said that Biluo is being used by others, as if to lure me into a dream and trap me here. Is this missing wood me?

I looked down at the charcoal in the copper basin, Yuan Jue followed behind me to know what I was looking at, I looked up at him, but at a glance I saw nine lamps hanging overhead. "I see, that's it."

It's not a lack of wood.

Although there is fire in the charcoal fire, the fire is unknown, so the charcoal should also be dead wood.

With wood, there is a lack of fire, and the nine lamps on the top of the head are virtual fires, and the nine-star lamp array seems to be missing one of the five elements, but in fact, it is to raise wood with fire. I'm afraid that's what is in this copper tripod...... I stretched out my hand, rolled up my sleeve, reached into the copper tripod, and under a layer of black oil, I felt a piece of white bone.

Yuan Jue turned his head sideways to look, and I quietly put the white bones back under the oil stain.

He looked strange at me and asked, "What did you find?" ”

I shook my head, "No, it's not fun here. ”

"Okay then, let's go out, save a while Aunt Yun Chu should come back." Yuan Jue didn't notice anything strange in the house, I'm afraid it's really like he said, he doesn't know this.

But hearing the conversation between Mrs. Qimo and Yun Chu just now, and seeing the nine-star lantern array in front of her, there is no doubt that Mrs. Qimo must be a witch of Yibu, even if she was the princess of Yibu, it may be because witches have been passed down from generation to generation, and Mrs. Qimo's mother is also a witch. Yun Chu persuaded her to stop, but what did she do to make Yun Chu persuade her so hard, who was this nine-star light array set up for.

Yuan Jue didn't know anything about this strange lamp array, and it didn't seem that he had noticed anything unusual about the nine oil lamps in this room. Didn't he inherit the power of the shrine maiden? Maybe no one ever guided him? Or there is a possibility that the power of the shrine maiden will not be passed on to the son born to the shrine maiden.

Yuan Jue said, turned around and walked out first, leaned out and looked left and right.

Seeing that he didn't notice it, I stretched out my hand to extinguish the one on the edge of the Nine Star Lantern Array, and when I saw Yuan Jue turn around, I rushed up, "How is it?" ”

"You can go." Yuan Jue didn't see the movements of my men.

We slipped out of the middle of nowhere. I hadn't gone far, just turned out of the corner, and suddenly collided head-on with a group of guards, seeing that there was no way to avoid it, and now it was impossible to turn around and go back.

"Keep your head down." Yuan Jue didn't look at me, turned his head slightly, and whispered.

"What." I wasn't sure, but when the guards were already in front of me, I immediately lowered my head.

Yuan Jue grabbed my hand and pressed it on his shoulder.

The guards stopped first. "Childe. Madam. ”

I was slightly stunned, and almost raised my head to look at it because of excessive fright, but was pulled by Yuan Jue. We swaggered past the guards without stopping, and the guards stood silent, but none of them were suspicious.

It wasn't until we were far away that I sneaked back to see that the guards had already left.

"This ...... They...... Did they mistake me for someone? "I'm pretty sure that the moment I passed by, I clearly heard them call Yuan Jue and me Gongzi, madam, I think of Yun Chu also told me, I am somewhat similar to Mrs. Qimo." It's ......"

"They mistook you for my mother." Yuan Jue glanced back. I didn't think about it. "From a special point of view, you and my mother do have some resemblance, don't you remember, it's the two people who were talking there just now. Aunt Yun Chu, you've seen it at Yuan He. The other one is my mother. ”

Originally. Even Yuan Jue also found out, not only Yun Chu said that I am somewhat similar to Mrs. Qimo, but even Yuan Jue said the same. What's more, now even the guards in the royal city have mistaken me for Mrs. Qimo, "Really, is there a resemblance?" ”

Yuan Jue looked at me silently for a while, and raised his eyebrows, "It's a little bit, but you don't have to be too happy, because you are not as beautiful as my mother." In the whole palace, my mother was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. ”

Yuan Jue, should he be......

"But you don't have to be too disappointed." Yuan Jue saw that I didn't answer, probably thinking that what he just said hurt my heart, so he pretended to explain calmly, "Although you are not as beautiful as my mother, in my opinion, you are the second most beautiful woman besides my mother." ”

I understood what he was thinking. Leaned over to him and said, "You don't like me because I am a little similar to your mother, and you have been pestering me." ”

"Less nonsense. I also slowly felt that you were a little similar to her, not to mention, you were so fierce at that time, how could it make me think of my mother. Yuan Jue denied it disdainfully.

So fierce at that time?

It turned out that the impression I left on him when I first met him turned out to be so fierce. Naturally, it is completely different from the gentle and calm Mrs. Qimo.

"Forget it." I straightened up and walked straight to the carriage.

Yuan Jue followed me into the car, along the way, we didn't say anything, Yuan Jue paid attention to my sanity several times, and didn't find a suitable opportunity to speak, so after sneaking out of the palace, we have been embarrassed and have nothing to say.

"Second son." Before the carriage was stable, the maids in Yuanhe's mansion had already stepped forward.

"What's the matter?" Yuan Jue glanced at me, then opened the curtain and asked.

The maid didn't answer Yuan Jue's words, but looked into the car through Yuan Jue and saw me, so she turned around and answered. "The lady in the back garden, the lady in the back garden is a little abnormal......"

"What are you talking about, aren't all that woman crazy, can crazy people still be normal." Yuan Jue was already sullen, but when he met the maid again, it made him even more angry.

"Second son......" The maid lowered her head and bit her mouth, not knowing how to explain.

"Yuan ...... Hmm......" I almost blurted out the word Yuanhe, and then saw that Yuan Jue and the maid deliberately restrained, and immediately changed it, "Did Shizi ask you to come to me?" ”

The maid hurriedly said, "Yes. ”

"You go back first, I'll take a look." I explained to Yuan Jue, held his shoulder, bypassed him, and jumped out of the carriage first.

As the maid went straight to the back garden, Yuan He and the imperial doctor were standing in the courtyard talking something, seeing me coming, Yuan He just wanted to speak, and then he saw something behind me, his eyes were a little different, "Second brother, it's so late, ...... you"

Hearing his words, I turned my head to look, it turned out that Yuan Jue did not leave directly just now, but followed us in.

Yuan Jue was deadlocked and did not answer.

Seeing this, I stepped forward to break the embarrassment, "What's wrong?" I heard from the maid in your house that something happened to that woman. ”

Yuan He sank his head when he heard the sound, and then slowly replied, "Before going to bed, someone brought medicine to her, but it turned out that she was lying motionless on the bed. I hurriedly invited the imperial doctor to come, and now she has a high fever that does not go away, and the whole person has fallen into a coma...... I thought you might as well go check it out. ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for you." I didn't expect that after I went out with Yuan Jue, she became ill again, and the sudden commotion in the middle of the night was so much, and I really didn't want Yuan He, we stayed in his house, and repeatedly caused him trouble, although he never said anything, but I couldn't be cheeky and take it as nothing.

I went into the room to see her, and found that she was sleeping, her breath seemed to be uneven, and the blue stain in the hall was very obvious. I cast a spell and poured breath into her body, trying to clear the turbidity from her body.

She suddenly coughed violently, and a cloud of turbid air spit out from between her snorts and dispersed.

Lying on the couch, she gradually returned to normal with one breath and one breath, and slowly opened her eyes, her pupils were clear, like a new life. After she opened her eyes, it didn't take long for her to look around a little nervously, and eventually, her eyes fell on me.

She struggled to sit up from the bed and ducked back.

"Don't be afraid." I comforted her, "Do you remember what happened when you were crazy?" Slowly remember, I'm not the one who wants to hurt you, you're safe here, no one can hurt you. ”

She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "You saved me?" ”

"Yes." I admitted, "Do you remember anything?" How much do you remember what happened before and after we rescued you from the dungeon? Think slowly. ”

"She's awake?" Yuan Jue came in and saw her sit up, but she must not have been surprised. "You speak first, I will take the prince to the outer garden, and the imperial doctor will be outside, and tell him if there is anything."

After Yuan Jue finished speaking, he glanced at her, then closed the door and went out.

"I remember you, and I remember him," she said slowly, like a headache, reaching out to her forehead, and continuing to recall, "It was you who rescued me in the dungeon, I remember." ”

"Excuse me, are you the wife of a family? Cheng Jing's biological mother? I could only prompt her slowly.

"I am the wife of a family, but I am not the biological mother of my son. I don't think I'm the Mrs. Cheng you're looking for. She whispered. My maiden name is Li, and I am a vegetable seller in the city. At that time, he already had a wife's room, and I knew that the master's wife's surname was Wei, and the family was still very rich, and everyone in the Cheng Mansion called her Mrs. Wei. At that time, Mrs. Wei was pregnant, and the lord was interesting to me, and I also felt sorry for Mrs. Wei, and I was afraid of being punished by her. But unexpectedly, Mrs. Wei took the initiative to find me and told me that she wanted the master to accept me as a concubine. ”

"So, you're not the lady before you got married? But when Mrs. Cheng was pregnant, the new lady who passed through the door? "How is this completely contrary to what we guessed before, we thought that Master Cheng persecuted the original partner in order to let the new lady enter the door, but now, how did the victim suddenly become the new lady?" What the hell is this......"

She pursed her lips, her feelings were extremely low, "My family is poor, my father and mother make a living by growing and selling vegetables, and now the world is not good, and the taxes are pressing, not to mention that I can't earn any money all year round, and I still owe a lot of debts." I also have a younger brother below, and at the age of fourteen, it is also the age when it is time to find a girl to set a family affair, but because of the conditions of my family, no one wants to tell my brother about my daughter. I was favored by Master Cheng, and Mrs. Wei was so wise and courteous, my father and mother thought that I had found a good family, and it was better to be a concubine in a family than to sleep outside and be bullied, so I responded to the proposal of a family. But who knows ......" (To be continued.) )
