Chapter 81: Illusion of the Deep Palace
There are two days left before the general election of the show girl, and the whole palace is also busy because of this matter. Zhiyan also hesitated and entangled repeatedly, and Chen Xi's countless warnings and reminders, secretly put the wooden doll on the beam of the queen's bedroom.
After this was done, she should have been relieved, but she couldn't sleep the night before the election. Because Shen Yao already knew about himself last time, he felt that living with the show girls was never a matter that was in line with the etiquette of the palace, and after ignoring Zhiyan's many objections, he placed Zhiyan in the queen mother's bedroom. On the one hand, he asked Zhiyan to accompany the Queen Mother, on the other hand, Zhiyan also learned that Shen Yuqing had told Shen Yao what he thought about him, and Shen Yao, who has always focused on the overall situation, was also extremely open-minded this time, and actually acquiesced to Shen Yuqing's words, and told the Queen Mother about it. And the Queen Mother did not object, and said to Shen Yao that she liked this girl very much.
Zhiyan's heart became more and more entangled, and the guilt for Liu Biwu became deeper and deeper, she obviously didn't want to do this, but she didn't expect things to develop in the direction she didn't want to go.
Biwu should be very angry when she knows about this, and she will ignore herself anymore......
On the night before the election, Zhiyan lay in bed and tossed and turned, and couldn't sleep by all means. Her mind was full of herself, Shen Yuqing and Liu Biwu. The best thing to do now is to finish Chen Xi's affairs quickly and leave here. In this case, it can be over in one qiē......
Shrunk in the thick brocade quilt, Zhiyan sighed deeply. The little palace maid Arnold, who was adding charcoal to the stove on the side, was startled.
"It's so late, and Miss hasn't rested yet." Arnold added charcoal fire, straightened up and smiled sweetly at Zhiyan.
Arnold was originally the little palace maid who served the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother saw that Zhiyan had always done everything herself, so she pointed out Arnold to Zhiyan and asked her to take care of Zhiyan's daily life in the palace.
"Can't sleep...... Zhiyan kicked off the quilt, turned over from the couch and stood up, "It's so late, Arnold, why haven't you gone to rest yet?" ”
"Alas, it's not the draft yet, it's obviously late, who would have thought that the venue hasn't been set up yet, I can't help it, and I was called by Mr. Wei to arrest the strong man. I finally came back in a hurry, but it was snowing on the way. Miss has a few palace maids here, and she is a newcomer, so I was afraid that Miss would freeze, so I came over and added some charcoal. That's right...... Mr. Wei asked me to tell you, tomorrow's show selection emperor will let you go too, and it is said that His Royal Highness King Rong will also ......"
Under the resentful gaze of the stubborn face, Arnold swallowed the rest of the words back into his stomach.
"Huh? Miss, it's going to be curfew, where are you going! ”
Seeing Zhiyan wearing a thick cloak and opening the door with an umbrella, Arnold was a little anxious.
"I'm already depressed, but when you say that, I can't sleep anymore...... Don't worry, I'll just walk around here and I'll be back in a moment. You should go to sleep too~"
"Miss...... Alas......"
Zhiyan is in a terrible mood right now, no, very bad. She held an umbrella and walked silently under the high palace wall alone, thinking about all kinds of things that had happened recently, since she met Concubine An Guifei in the palace and was killed by thunder and lightning from the clear sky, everything really didn't go well...... Now that the matter between Yeli and Tianmo has not been resolved, I only hope that Chen Xi will not have any more accidents here.
She suddenly came back to her senses, raised her head and looked around, watching the snow fall on the golden glass and red walls, and then looked at the palaces and passages that looked about the same, and did not know where she was. Worst...... Lost again...... But that's not the worst, it's even worse...... It's curfew now, and if anyone finds out they're still hanging out here at this time, they'll be chopped into pieces by the guards.
She sighed helplessly, and could only try her luck to see if she could walk back under the guidance of God. I just hope that I don't run into the patrolling guards, otherwise I will really lose my luck to the end and die in the deep palace.
Zhiyan thought about it carefully, and for the sake of her own life, she still used the stealth technique. A group of patrolling guards walked across from her, and they found that there was no one there, but a series of footprints appeared out of thin air on the snow, and several of them thought they had encountered a ghost. While screaming, his legs were so frightened that he scattered in all directions.
Ghost? Where the hell did it come from? Zhi Yan looked at the fleeing soldiers suspiciously, feeling a little inexplicable. But she had just walked a few steps before she realized that she had really encountered a ghost.
In front of her stood a palace that was white and gorgeous, like Xuanyuan Che's dormitory thousands of years ago, but it was very different. From the palace, there was a faint sound of a desolate flute, which made people feel cold and biting on such a snowy night. Zhiyan walked forward suspiciously, ready to go in to see what was going on, but found that the palace in front of him was just an illusion, and he disappeared with a light touch of his finger.
She rubbed her eyes in surprise, and when she looked up again, she found that Fangcai's palace had turned into a cherry blossom forest with falling cherry blossoms. Under the snow-falling cherry trees, Shen Yao stood side by side with a woman in a silver mask, confronting a man in white with a long sword at his waist. The man in white has a handsome eyebrows with a bit of softness, he is an out-and-out beautiful man, although he frowns, but his body still exudes a gentle and elegant atmosphere.
Shen Yao opened his mouth and said something to the man in white, but Zhiyan couldn't hear a sound. Shen Yao looked at the stunned expression of the man in white, and a smug and satisfied smile appeared on his face, which was the expression of the hunter after successfully catching his favorite prey. Shen Yao said something to the woman beside her, although she was masked, Zhiyan still felt that the woman was slightly stunned. In the blink of an eye, the woman beside him came to the man in white and plunged a dagger into the man's chest. The man's hands trembled as he removed the woman's mask, his expression aching with unspeakable despair.
Zhiyan wanted to see the woman's face, but because the woman was facing him with most of her body sideways, she didn't see anything. It was also at this time that the phantom slowly disappeared as the man's body fell. A gust of cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew, blowing so that Zhiyan couldn't open his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw that in front of him was the queen mother's bedroom. What's going on with Fang Cai's vision? Was its appearance accidental, or did it really encounter a ghost, or did it have some special meaning......
The palm holding the handle of the umbrella was emitting a faint blue light again, Zhiyan no longer paid attention to it, just shook his head, yawned with tiredness, and returned to the room to rest, and had a good night's sleep.
