Xia Ruoqing held the small jade cup as if it had turned into elm, motionless, the expression in her eyes turned from condensation to anger, anger turned to madness, and with a heavy throw in her hand, the jade cup fell to the ground hard, and her body was shattered.

"Mother...... Niangniang ...... "The entrance of the ladder issued a light call of Nuonuo, which is to save the face."

Without waiting for Xia Ruoqing to speak, she knelt at the entrance of the ladder with her knees bent, and said in a trembling voice: "Niangniang, slaves are useless...... Lan Jieyu hadn't sent a note that she was coming before, and the slave didn't expect it...... It happened suddenly, and the slave couldn't stop Lan Jieyu...... Slaves...... Slaves...... It's useless to be a slave, beg the mother to spare her life! ”

Bang Rong seemed to be extremely frightened in his heart, and his speech was upside down, and then he couldn't help choking, and only slammed his forehead on the ground, not daring to say more.

After waiting for a long time to be silent, just when Rong Rong's heart was about to jump out of his mouth, he heard Xia Ruoqing's cold voice: "Get up, I didn't expect Helan to come over today after serving for several days." No wonder you. ”

As if she had been pardoned, she got up with a sigh of relief, thought about it and said: "Niangniang, before leaving, Lan Jieyu instructed the slave maid to pack up the common clothes and utensils for the mother, saying that the mother was going to move to Chengming Hall to live with Lan Jieyu?" ”

"Yes."

Lan Jieyu instructed the slave maid to wait for the maid to move over tonight. That...... The slave maid went to clean up at once! ”

"What's the hurry, I'll move tomorrow."

Hearing that Xia Ruoqing was really going to move to Chengming Palace, Lian Rong immediately smiled. It's just that Fang Fang appeared with joy, and then froze on his face again, and called: "Niangniang......"

"Helan is going to have dinner with His Majesty today, and most of the time tonight I will stay in the Zihuan Hall to sleep." Xia Ruoqing's eyes were still staring at the fragments of the jade cup that were submerged in the ashes of the incense burner, and said indifferently: "Master Zhang is coming tonight, you go and prepare some refreshments and cakes, don't neglect her." ”

"! Lan Jieyu will always protect you, and when you see Niangniang, you will definitely think of Niangniang's good past, Niangniang...... You...... Why should you ......?"

"Needless to say, pack this up and put on my makeup first." Xia Ruoqing waved her hand to stop her words, her fingers picked at the wound, feeling the pain of convulsions, and her eyes showed a trace of madness and ambition.

She is unwilling, she is unwilling!

She is unwilling to be subservient to others in this life, she is not willing to live under the protection of others all her life, trembling, and does not know where the future is.

She has been in the palace for more than five years, and she has seen a lot of beauties who have been lifted up to the clouds and crushed into mud by falling to the ground, even if she is one of them.

Helan Fu can rely on her luck to protect her today, and she will be allowed tomorrow, but what about the day after tomorrow? What about later? According to Helan Fu's identity, it is impossible for Emperor Nanzhao to let her leave an heir, according to the law, the harem will enter the palace next year, and the beauty is like a cloud, who can guarantee that Helan Fu can be favored for a lifetime?

Once they lose their favor, Helan Fu's identity, Helan Fu's temperament, and the evidence of the Xia family's crimes are enough to make the two of them unable to recover in the harem.

The only reliable thing in this world is not the ethereal favor of the king, but the power to stand on the top of all living beings and control the life and death of others!

It's night.

The building was cleaned up during the day, and all the black paper pasted outside the window was removed. Xia Ruoqing sat by the window, pushed open half of the window, and drank to the moon. She changed into a diamond-patterned skirt with a deciduous hundred leaves, the color was plain, her face was brightened by the moonlight, her skin was snowy, her peach eyes were rippling, and her lips were smiling, just like Chang'e descending to earth, how could there be a little bit of weakness and coldness during the day.

Hearing the sound of the wooden ladder trampling, Xia Ruoqing turned her head to look, and saw a woman in a cigarette ash dress leading her into the doorway.

"Changshou Nunnery, Zhang Xichun, has seen Jing Guifei."

When the person came upstairs, he saw Chang Li first, and then when he looked up, he saw the moonlight spreading in the building, which was clear and translucent, and his face suddenly darkened by two points.

"Master Zhang, sit."

Xia Ruoqing waved her hand again, looked good, and immediately went downstairs to guard in the garden.

Zhang Xichun didn't add much politeness, and walked to the window and sat down. As soon as she sat down, Xia Ruoqing carried a pot and poured a glass of wine for her.

"Niangniang, this ......" Seeing that Xia Ruoqing didn't mean to speak, Zhang Xichun was obviously unable to hold her breath.

"It didn't work out." Xia Ruoqing didn't say much, raised her head and drank all the wine in her cup.

"Is it the time to come out of the shell......" Zhang Xichun's face was very ugly, and he was a little puzzled, and he knew that it was wrong as soon as he said a word, so he stopped talking.

The first difficulty in raising Gu is in the Gu seed, and the second is when it comes out of the shell. If the Gu worm is unwilling to come out of the main body of the feed when it is shedding, the owner will be counterattacked, and the owner will die and the Gu worm will be exterminated, and both will die together.

But once the owner can let the Gu worms get out of their shells, the rest will be a matter of course. Now Xia Ruoqing is still sitting at the opposite table and drinking, but she said 'it didn't work out', which made Zhang Xichun unable to figure it out.

"Don't ask, if you don't achieve it, you won't succeed." Xia Ruoqing also seemed to be extremely irritable, her eyebrows furrowed, and her tone was heavier.

Zhang Xichun sneered when he heard this, his words were no longer respectful, and he said sharply: "Concubine Jing, do you know how much effort I put into this Gu seed?!" Now that I'm handing over the Gu seed to you, you want to send me away if you don't achieve anything? ”

After a moment of silence, Zhang Xichun laughed again and said gloomily: "Do you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge?" ”

Zhang Xichun is only forty years old, but he is full of white hair, with overlapping scars on his face, atrophied skin and flesh, and the four sides of his eye sockets and the edges of his lips are pulled outward by the contracted skin. At this time, he smiled, the bones on his face were distorted, and his eyes were prominent, as if he was really a demon.

Xia Ruoqing didn't seem to see it, poured herself another glass of wine and drank it all, and then said slowly: "If you really want to cross the river and tear down the bridge, I won't wait for you to come tonight." ”

"What's going on here?"

"The husk was made, but there was an accident when it was eaten." Xia Ruoqing softened her tone, "The life and death of the Xia family are all on the front line, and I don't want the hard work of more than a year to be wasted overnight." It's just that the world is unpredictable, and I can't do anything, and I hope that Master Zhang won't be surprised. ”

Zhang Xichun didn't say anything, just looked at Xia Ruoqing coldly.

"Master Zhang also knows that it is difficult to raise Gu, and it is not as good as it should be*. Xia Ruoqing can only accompany Master Zhang here tonight. I also hope that Master Zhang can give me another Gu seed again and start over. ”

"Another Gu seed, hehe, another Gu seed!" At this point, Zhang Xichun couldn't help it anymore, gritted his teeth and said: "Niangniang said it lightly. That Gu seed took me thirteen years, and it took me a lot of difficulties and dangers to transform myself into the appearance that I am now and is not a ghost before I became it! As soon as Niangniang opened Chrysostom, she asked me to hand over another Gu seed to you? ”

Xia Ruoqing was obviously unexpected, and asked in surprise: "Thirteen years?" ”

"Yes, thirteen years! There are tens of millions of poisonous insects in the world, but they are mutually reinforcing, and a group of species rises, and there are natural enemies immediately, and there are few hegemons. It's just that once this group of species can defeat the natural enemy, they will multiply, and the radius of ten miles is full of this kind, and people and animals are wiped out, and there is nothing else. If you gather too much of a thing, you will devour each other, and the one who devours the most of its kind becomes the king. The Gu Seed needs to find twelve different poisonous insect kings, and then place them in one place to fight each other, and only those who survive in the end can become Gu Seeds. Do you know how many places I have traveled in search of these twelve poisonous insects? How much risk was taken? If I hadn't been bitten by poisonous insects, how would I be the way I am now? If it weren't for the poisoning being too miscellaneous and too deep, how could I hand over the Gu worms that I had worked so hard to refine to you to raise?! ”

The more Zhang Xichun spoke, the more excited he became, and his teeth gurgled. Xia Ruoqing was stunned when she heard this, and only after a while did she mutter, "I don't know how difficult it turns out that refining Gu seeds is...... It's my fault, it's my negligence. ”

These two sentences of apology were extremely sincere, Zhang Xichun gritted his teeth for a moment, suddenly sighed, and said, "That's it, this is the will of heaven." Providence is like this, is Niangniang still unwilling to accept her fate? ”

Xia Ruoqing snorted softly and said, "My life has never been up to me. ”

"Well, what I like the most is the ambition of the mother to not let the boy. I have only refined one Gu Seed in my life, not to mention that it will take at least another year to start over, although I live in a simple place, I also know that the Xia family may not be able to last another year. Niangniang doesn't have to worry, although I don't have a Gu seed, I have a Cheng Gu, but it depends on whether Niangniang is willing or not. ”

After a while, Xia Ruoqing really couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in Zhang Xichun's gourd, and said in a deep voice: "I can use my body to raise Gu, what else can I not want?" ”

"This Gu is cultivated by Niangniang herself, and it will be controlled by Niangniang herself in the future, although it is dangerous but convenient, after all, the fewer people who know about Gu arts, the better, although I have become a Gu, I have not told Niangniang. It's just that there is no other way to do it now, so I can only take it out. This Gu has been raised by others, and it is different from the Mole Gu I gave to my mother, it is divided into a mother and a son, and the mother refers to the son, which cannot control people's minds, but can kill people invisibly. The deceased was uninjured and untraced, and no one could find a reason. When a person dies, the Gu will crawl back to the side of the Mother Gu by itself, until the next time he obeys the Mother Gu's order. ”

Xia Ruoqing is in a daze, and the things that fight each other in this palace may not be much less than the battlefield, but there are many eyes and ears in the palace, and there are often rumors that leak after doing it, the difference is only whether it will be pinched by someone, and how much it will damage its reputation. Although that mole Gu can control people's minds and make people crazy, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is better to kill a hundred to be clean. It's just that since he is a Gu, how can he not use such a good thing, how can he not use it, and give it to himself in vain?

When Zhang Xichun saw Xia Ruoqing's expression, he guessed her thoughts and said, "If I can resist this Gu myself, I don't have to go to Nantang to suffer a lot of nests." This Gu Niangniang can't be used, there is only one person in this palace who can be killed. ”

"Who?"

"Helan Fu."

Xia Ruoqing was stunned for a moment, then became furious, and shouted: "No! ”

"Mother, listen to me. This Gu is different from other Gu, only the bloodline of the Northern Yan royal family can be suppressed, and once others are contaminated, they will explode into blood and die. However, if you recognize the right master, the mother Gu can not only support the child Gu, but also protect the master in every way, which is the most special and coveted one of the hundred Gu worms. Hate only hates that I am from the wrong background, and I can't use this pair of Zimu Gu in vain. Niangniang has a very good personal relationship with Nalan Jieyu, but it is not impossible for her to help you. ”

Xia Ruoqing just frowned and didn't answer.

"That's it, Niangniang thinks about it, and I'll go back to the nunnery tonight. Come back three days later and hear the mother's reply. ”

Zhang Xichun didn't say anything more, stood up and made a gesture, turned around and was about to leave.

When they were close to the entrance of the ladder, Xia Ruoqing woke up from a dream and said, "Master Zhang can't come here again in three days, I'm going to move to Chengming Palace." ”

"The people in the Chengming Hall come and go, and it is not conducive to acting. How could a good lady think of moving over? Zhang Xichun squinted, turned around and asked.

"Li Siqi's cheap maid ran to Emperor Nanzhao and talked nonsense, causing a storm in the city. Helan Fu thought that she was suspicious and asked me to move in with her. ”

"Oh, I see." Zhang Xichun nodded: "Niangniang, don't blame you for talking too much." There are many people in this palace, and they are particularly troublesome, and I hope that Niangniang can make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Xia Ruoqing seemed to be very impatient, and waved her hand and said, "Let me think about it." If there is something, I will ask Bang Rong to contact the magician, and I will not send it slowly. ”

After the eviction order, Zhang Xichun's eyes suddenly showed annoyance, and he instantly disappeared, and then he shook it again, and went away.
