Chapter 169: Iron Cage
Mu Hui stood at the back of a gazebo, listening to the footsteps of the patrolling guards getting farther and farther away, before she secretly showed her head. She looked around, and there was nothing to hide except this singing pavilion, and the flower pots in this garden were so low.
In the end, Mu Hui's eyes were fixed on the two evergreens, and the leaves would not wither even in winter. She was too small to hide next to her, so she could avoid the two patrolling guards.
She took advantage of this gap and ran over, and the patrol guard who reassured her a little was not so fast, she looked back and forth at her surroundings, except for a window next to her, which was closest to her, and she had nowhere else to go.
After another team of patrol guards walked over, Mu Hui immediately opened the open window and jumped in. It's daytime, but it's dark inside, and it doesn't seem to be transparent to light. Mu Hui gently opened a window slightly, and Mu Hui was stunned when the light entered the room.
The room was filled with iron cages, and there was a person in each cage. Some were men, some were women, and there were even two teenage children, their eyes were full of fear, and they all shrank into the corner of the iron cage and shivered when they saw Mu Hui come in.
Mu Hui looked at them with the same fearful eyes. The faces of these people looked a little pale, and those helpless eyes made her feel panicked. She walked up to a child and whispered, "Why are you locked up here?" ”
The child shook his head as he shivered. Mu Hui emboldened herself and asked the same questions to those people as she walked forward, but no one answered her. Only one child pointed to his mouth and shook his head. Only then did Mu Hui realize that they would definitely not be able to speak.
After she found a hidden place to hide herself, Mu Hui's heart suddenly hurt when she looked at the iron cages one after another and the people who looked thin.
She couldn't imagine what kind of helplessness it would be if her relatives and friends were locked up here. What kind of despair it would be for them to live in this dark environment every day, and their wills will be consumed little by little.
When her tears dripped down suddenly, she strengthened her confidence in today's task, not for anyone, even for these hard-working people, she should bring down this Taishi.
She crept out of the hidden place and came to another window, which was still hidden. She climbed out of another window and went back and forth five or six rooms, three of which were filled with iron cages. In the end, she finally found the room with the alchemy furnace, and the boxes of those Chinese medicinal materials had different names written on them, and all kinds of medicinal materials were readily available.
With so many medicinal herbs, if you take some of each, you will definitely exhaust people to death, because there are so many medicinal herbs. Mu Hui looked around. In addition to a large medicine cabinet and some charcoal next to the alchemy furnace, there is another cabinet here, which is not written with the names of Chinese medicinal herbs but is full of various symbols, and these symbols look familiar.
Mu Hui opened those strange boxes with some trembling, and there were several dried ears inside. The rhythm of her heartbeat suddenly skyrocketed. "Bang!" The box was closed with a thud.
She regretted it as soon as she closed it. She closed the box too loudly for fear of it. The guards outside seemed to be alert, and the footsteps were getting closer. She was stunned for a moment and immediately hid behind the cabinet with strange symbols.
She kept thinking back to the ears she had just seen, and she knew that the cabinet was full of organs that could be in different locations of people. Or there are organs of other animals. Thinking of this, all the hairs on her body stood up, she didn't know if the second prince understood what this prince was doing, and asked her to come over to get something.
"Squeak!" The door was pushed open, and one of the guards crept two steps forward. The guard behind him whispered to him, "Are you sure you heard something?" The Master never allowed us to enter this! Let's go back......"
The guard walking in front thought about it and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, listen to you." After saying that, the two of them quickly retreated. Mu Hui breathed a sigh of relief. She looked around at the strange cabinet and a locked chest next to it. She wondered what it would be, but she didn't dare to think about it.
She put some dansha next to the alchemy furnace, as well as those unknown medicinal herbs, into a paper bag. I took some air-dried fingers and ears and put them in. After sturdyly packing a cloth belt, she tied it tightly around her body.
There was a noise outside, and Mu Hui immediately hid behind the cabinet of medicinal materials. She listened carefully to the people outside and said, "You're back!" 一qiē都好......"
Hearing this voice, Mu Hui's heart suddenly rose to her throat, she didn't expect this Taishi to come back so early.
At this time, Nanrong Muhan was carried by the big red sedan chair and had arrived at the gate of Xian Yu Mansion, Xian Yu Rui reluctantly opened the curtain and helped her get off the petite son, and crossed the brazier and walked through the threshold. All the way to the lobby.
Xian Yumo's official face Yan Sù watched them walk in step by step, holding a dark purple auspicious cloud brocade ornament on his body, wearing a golden hairpin and a step shake given by the emperor on his head, sitting upright in the lobby waiting for the arrival of the newcomer.
Xian Yurui looked at the lobby. He looked at the people around him again, dressed in bright red and exquisite wedding dresses. His heart hit rock bottom. He hoped that time would stop like this, and it was better not to leave again, if he really worshipped heaven and earth and entered the cave room, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
The petals around him kept falling, and Xian Yurui raised his eyes to look at the women who scattered flowers, and his heart was full of discouragement. He couldn't believe he was going to marry her so soon. He looked at the official ceremony, his eyes full of pleading, but no one noticed his pained expression, and everyone's attention was all on this beautiful bride.
They will not hesitate to say that Xian Yurui is a blessed man who married the granddaughter of Taishi's favorite granddaughter. And the woman is still so beautiful, she feels as beautiful as a fairy through the hijab.
"Newcomer Salute ......"
Hearing the man shout, Xian Yurui immediately took a step back. He looked at Xian Yumo and said, "Daddy." Wait, I wonder if we can get married later in the chapel? ”
Nanrong Muhan next to her was stunned suddenly, if it weren't for the maid holding her and pulling her arm, she would have pulled off her hijab and asked her husband in front of her. Why? (To be continued.) )
