Chapter 209: Digging a Pit
The Queen Mother's deep and wise gaze made Zhong Ziyuan feel inexplicably frightened, for fear that she would hear the voice of the extraneous voice because of her humble mouth. Just when Zhong Ziyuan was flustered, the Queen Mother raised the corners of her mouth, reached out and touched her face affectionately, and then quipped: "Look, it's sweat and mud, your face is dirty like a cat, why don't you go back and wash it quickly." ”
"The Queen Mother forgives my sins, I lost my honor!" Zhong Ziyuan's heart was relieved, and he hurriedly wiped his face with his sleeve, and then curtsied and said, "Then I'll go back first." ”
The Queen Mother nodded with a smile.
Zhong Ziyuan tidied up his clothes slightly, gathered his black hair behind his head and woven it into a simple braid, and called all the maids who were serving the Queen Mother in, before bowing and retreating.
When he left the gate of the dormitory, he saw Yelu Tilie and Mrs. Xiao, surrounded by a group of maids, walking towards him. Zhong Ziyuan had no choice but to curtsy them.
Seeing Zhong Ziyuan coming out of the Queen Mother's bedroom, Yelu Tilie did not feel strange. However, Mrs. Xiao's sharp phoenix eyes showed strong dissatisfaction, she glanced at Zhong Ziyuan, and said to Yelu Tilie: "Has the Khan forgotten the previous lesson, how dare he let such a Han woman of unknown origin wander around in this hall." ”
Yelu Tilie frowned slightly, and said, "The Queen Mother likes her, so she often summons her to accompany her." Besides, with so many pairs of eyes staring, what tricks can she come up with as a weak woman? ”
Mrs. Xiao sneered and said, "It's a weak woman who makes people feel pity and defenseless." The Han people have a saying, "Knowing the face but not the heart." The Queen Mother, her old man is kind-hearted and easy to be fooled. The Khan still needs to keep a few more eyes. After speaking, she flicked her sleeves and didn't even look at Zhong Ziyuan. Proudly stepped into the dormitory.
Yelu Tilie knew that Mrs. Xiao had always been jealous, so he didn't care, and after bowing slightly to Zhong Ziyuan, he also followed into the dormitory.
Seeing the backs of this group of people disappear in front of him, Zhong Ziyuan's palms became cold and damp. If she hadn't overheard the conversation between Xiao Yixing and Zhao Yiming before, she would have thought that Mrs. Xiao was trying to make her petty through vinegar. But at this moment, Zhong Ziyuan knew very well in his heart that such an important account book had been lost in the library. When Jeruthereth knew this, he would be furious. So her words are foreshadowing, she is looking for a scapegoat for Xiao Yixing!
Zhong Ziyuan was scared in his heart, but he didn't dare to be too out of shape in front of everyone. She held her temper down. After steadily stepping out of the guards' sight, he picked up the corner of his skirt and sped up.
Ugin falls west, fragrant grass, mixed with wild flowers. Along the way, the butterflies are frightened. Birds chirping. When Zhong Ziyuan broke into Gemei's tent with fire, she was startled when she was packing her baggage.
Gemei subconsciously leaned over to protect the bulging baggage on the bed, glared at her vigilantly, and lowered her voice: "Didn't you say that you would leave at night, why did you come here at this time?" ”
Zhong Ziyuan reached out and pressed his chest, where it was pounding all the time. After taking a deep breath, she said eagerly, "I'm afraid I can't wait until the evening." We're going to get out of here now, we'll not be able to leave if it's too late. ”
"Leaving now?" Gemei was embarrassed and said, "Tashi hasn't come yet." With so many things, how could the two of us move them away. ”
Zhong Ziyuan looked at the mountain of burdens in front of Gemei, and she was also a little dumbfounded, she said puzzledly: "Why are there so many?" Don't you want to take only the most valuable? ”
Gemei's pretty face suddenly turned red, but she still had to stalk her neck, and said forcefully: "What I take is valuable!" ”
Zhong Ziyuan had a headache and was also a little annoyed, and couldn't help but whisper: "You open it and show me." ”
Gemei immediately opened her arms and hugged the burden tighter, then glared at her eyes and said vigilantly: "Give me everything you said, these are mine, and I can't regret it anymore." ”
"I'll go." Zhong Ziyuan was furious in her heart, and couldn't help but step forward and grab it directly.
"What are you doing! What are you doing! It's all mine, don't rob it. "There are too many burdens, Gemei protects this, but not that.
Zhong Ziyuan had a dark face, carried the gilded tripod furnace taken out of the baggage with two fingers, and said angrily: "Do you want to take this away too?" ”
Gemei was cheeky and smiled: "The golden light is shining, it's weird and good-looking." ”
"Look at your little bit of interest." Zhong Ziyuan glanced at her sideways and began to help Gemei rearrange her burden with her own hands.
The hollow silver cup was thrown out, the fox fur jacket was not used, and the rhombic bronze mirror was even more cumbersome In Gemei's desperate protest, the cumbersome burden mountain finally shrank significantly, turning into three small burdens that can carry their bodies. It is full of treasures carefully selected by Zhong Ziyuan, and each of them can be exchanged for a hundred acres of fertile land or a large mansion when it is taken to the pawnshop.
Gemei looked at the mess and bits and pieces that had been thrown to the ground, and her heart was distressed as if she had been gouged out. She tried to get more benefits for herself with a shy face, and Zhong Ziyuan said mercilessly: "Money or death?"
Gemei froze, quietly touched his lower abdomen, with a bitter face, and said extremely unwillingly: "Damn it!" ”
Zhong Ziyuan and Gemei both changed into the maid clothes that had been prepared a long time ago, Gemei carried a burden on one shoulder, one wrapped around her waist, and covered with fat clothes on the outside, looking like she had suddenly gained weight several times, and it looked ridiculous.
Zhong Ziyuan whispered to her, "You go out first and wait for me." Gemi reluctantly stared at the silk satin all over the floor, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and finally stamped her feet and walked out.
Zhong Ziyuan used the fastest speed to pile these flammable fabrics and fabrics together. Then he picked up the butter lamp on the table, poured all the oil on the cloth, and finally lit a candle and carefully placed it in the middle of the cloth full of lamp oil.
The candle is only three inches long and burns out in just half an hour. The last spark of the candle ignites the fabric, and the whole tent is built. There were tents attached to the meadow, and she could imagine the spectacular chaos after the fire had burned. And the three of them can take advantage of the chaos to avoid the guards and escape from the palace through the dog hole. This is the best escape plan that Zhong Ziyuan made after thinking about it countless times.
This fire can also burn the traces of Gemei, and then everyone will think that she is unfortunately buried in the fire, and they will not know that she has followed her lover to escape freely.
Zhong Ziyuan patted the dust on his palms, and finally glanced around the tent with satisfaction before opening the curtain and walking out. No sooner had she stepped out of the tent than she felt a strong wind blow behind her head. The wind was urgent and strong, and Zhong Ziyuan's hairs stood up. Her reaction was not unpleasant, and the moment she felt the wind, her body quickly fell to the right, but she only had time to avoid the vital point in the back of her head.
Rao was like this, she still felt a pain in the back of her neck and passed out. But before she passed out, she saw Gemei's ridiculously bloated body, lying unconscious in the shadows of the side corner of the tent. (To be continued.) )
