Chapter 59: The Secret of Wuchun
I was surprised, "Really?" ”
The maid hurriedly bowed her head: "Many people have seen a dark shadow in the prince's mansion, but no one knows what the road is. Then he hurriedly said: "Girl, don't say that I said it, the Queen Mother strictly orders that you are not allowed to talk about this matter!" ”
I don't believe in ghosts, but I did see a dark shadow last night, who is he, and why is he hiding in the dark?
After breakfast, I went to find Summer Night Star and accompanied him to the courtyard for a walk, talking about the dark shadow I had seen last night. Xia Ye Xingqi said: "Ah, you have seen it too?" ”
I nodded, "Who the hell is that?" ”
Xia Yexing shook his head and said: "I don't know the Tao either, but many people say that they have seen it, but no one can see it clearly, my mother doesn't believe in ghosts and monsters, and no one is allowed to discuss this matter." ”
After the walk, we sat in the gazebo to rest. Duan Qiaoxiao picked up a plate of fruit and walked over: "Cousin, you look good today." ”
She put down the fruit bowl, and I picked two fruits and handed one to the Summer Night Star. Duan Qiaoxiao was still smiling, but her smile made me feel a chill, she stared at the fruit in my hand, and my heart moved, looking towards the summer night star.
He was just about to open his mouth to eat the fruit, I don't know why Lu Dao suddenly had a twitch in his heart, and raised his hand to knock down the fruit in Xia Yexing's hand: "Don't eat it!"
Summer Nightstar looked at me suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”
A puppy opened its mouth to bite the fruit that I knocked to the ground, and instantly foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground. The maid waiting next to her exclaimed, "Come on, there is poison in the fruit!" ”
The guards heard the call and hurriedly surrounded them. The maid pointed at Duan Qiaoxiao and said loudly, "It's her!" The fruit she sent! ”
The guard immediately went up and held down Duan Qiaoxiao, and she struggled and shouted, "It's not me!" ”
I reached out and grabbed Summer Nightstar's hand and said nervously, "It's okay, right?" You didn't eat it, did you? ”
Xia Yexing looked at Duan Qiaoxiao, who was pressed to the ground and struggling desperately, and slowly shook his head: "It's okay!" ”
I felt relieved: "Thank God! Good thing you didn't eat it! ”
Summer Night Star was grabbed by my hand, his eyes flashed, and he said excitedly, "Are you worried about me?" ”
I nodded: "Of course, you are related to the two tribes of Wuchun and Baishui City, and I must not let anything happen to you around you!" ”
Summer Night's starry eyes darkened, and he bowed his head and said nothing.
At this time, the Empress Dowager Wuchun heard the news and said nervously: "Night Star heard that someone is going to poison you!" ”
I let go of the hand holding Xia Yexing and said to the Empress Dowager Wuchun, "Fortunately, the prince didn't eat the fruit. ”
Empress Dowager Wuchun looked at Duan Qiaoxiao, who was struggling, and walked over and waved her hand to slap her hand: "I treat you well on weekdays, but you dare to poison the prince!" ”
Duan Qiao smiled and held his face, crying: "Auntie, how could I!" It's really not me! ”
Empress Dowager Wuchun said coldly: "Take it down!" ”
Duan Qiaoxiao was escorted by the guards, struggling and crying bitterly, and shouted at me viciously: "Mulan, you bad woman, I won't let you go!" ”
Empress Dowager Wuchun stared at me and said excitedly: "You saved the life of the night star again, I... I really don't know how to thank you! ”
I shook my head: "This matter is very suspicious, please the Queen Mother must find out who wants to harm the prince, if something happens to the prince, I must be the first to be suspected, borrowing a knife to kill people, wanting to use this to destroy the relationship between Wuchun and Baishui City, hum, what a ruthless poisonous plan!" ”
Empress Dowager Wuchun's body was shocked, and she said coldly: "I will never allow anyone to hurt my son!" ”
After this incident, people were panicked, and the diet of the prince's mansion was doubly careful, for fear that poisoning would happen again. As he was about to fall asleep that night, a maid with a raw face knocked on the door and said, "Girl, the prince is invited." ”
Summer Night Star doesn't sleep well, and from time to time he will come and ask me to come over to accompany him, and as long as I keep watch over him, he always falls asleep quickly. So I didn't think much of it, and when I got dressed, I went out with the maid.
After walking a little way, I realized that something was wrong, this road was not the road to the Summer Night Star's Bed, I stopped and asked the maid leading the way, "Who are you, why haven't I seen you before?" Where is this going? ”
The maid said, "The prince invited the girl to a place, and you will know the way when you go." ”
I stopped doubting it and followed her. The maid led me into a long tunnel, and I walked in with my head down, and the more I walked, the more I felt that something was wrong. Why did the Summer Night Star want me to come here at night?
I stopped and said coldly, "Where are you taking me?" ”
The maid's body shook, and then she pulled her legs and ran. I exclaimed, "Stop! She didn't stop, and then she was gone.
I felt the wall of the tunnel, and there was an oil lamp lit every few steps, and I walked to the place where the maid had disappeared, and looked around to see that there were several intersections.
Sure enough, it was a plot. I sighed in my heart, regretting why I was so unvigilant!
I turned and exited the road I had come, and halfway through I found myself at a fork in the road, and it seemed that I was lost. I tried to find a junction that looked pleasing to the eye and kept walking. Turning around, I couldn't get out of this tunnel.
I was secretly anxious, but I knew that the more dangerous the Dao, the more calm I had to be. I was born with no sense of direction, and now I am trapped in a labyrinth, and I am even more at a loss.
Hey, Huo Qubing will definitely not get lost! My heart moved, why did I think of him again? I have to admit that it is a natural ability to recognize the way. The Wei family has all been inherited, and Huo Qu's disease is no exception. When marching and fighting, relying only on the stars in the sky and simple maps, they can accurately pursue the Xiongnu for thousands of miles in the vast desert.
Thinking wildly, he walked forward and found himself turning back to where he was. Well, I had no choice but to stop, there was only one way in front of me!
I don't know how to find the way, but stupid people have stupid ways, and I remember when I was a kid playing maze games, instead of struggling at forks in the road, I walked all the way along the wall on one side to the end. It's a big deal to turn the whole maze around, and you can always get out of the maze and find the exit.
I made up my mind, reached out and touched the wall on the left, kept walking to the left, and turned left when I saw a fork in the road.
I don't know how long I walked in this way, and I vaguely heard the sound of water, it was flowing water! Where there is water, there is an outlet!
I cheered myself up and followed the sound of the water, and finally the walls in my hands began to get wet, and I felt the moss, and I quickened my pace and walked forward. It's the river!
Finally out of here! Out of the tunnel, I looked at the starry sky, and before I could sigh, a knife was held around my neck, and several people in black surrounded me.
"I didn't expect you to come out!"
I looked up and saw Duan Qiao's smile with a vicious face. She said angrily: "What are you trying to frame me for, saying that I am going to poison my cousin!" ”
I glanced at the bright knife on my neck: "Duan Qiaoxiao? Aren't you locked up? I have not falsely accused you, but indeed you brought the fruit. ”
Duan Qiaoxiao said coldly: "I grew up in Wuchun since I was a child, don't I have my own strength, and there are not a few dead soldiers to save me?" I'm going to kill you, not my cousin! ”
I looked at her in surprise: "Why do you hate me so much?" ”
Duan Qiaoxiao sneered: "You dare to ask me!" Since you came to Wuchun, my cousin hasn't looked at me directly, it's all your fault! She gritted her teeth and said, "As long as you die, my cousin will be mine!" ”
I said slowly, "You misunderstood, I don't have a trace of male and female affection for your cousin. ”
Duan Qiao smiled: "But cousin likes you!" ”
The man in black who got it urged: "Young master, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, let's take her out of Wuchun and then kill her." ”
Duan Qiao smiled and nodded: "Tie her up, and then cover her eyes with a strip of cloth!" ”
I was blindfolded, and I quickly thought of a way to get out, it was not worth dying here! In the dark, he was pushed away: "Hurry up, don't rub it off!" ”
At this moment, I suddenly heard a scream, the knife of the man in black left my neck, I was blindfolded, I only heard the wind around me, and there was a scream in my ears.
Duan Qiaoxiao screamed, "Who are you!" Yes... Monsters! Before she could finish the second half of her sentence, she heard a muffled grunt and the sound of falling to the ground.
My hands were tied behind my back, and I couldn't remove the strip of cloth in front of me, judging from the voice just now, Duan Qiaoxiao and his group should have been solved, who saved me? Or didn't he save me?
A pair of hands put their hands on mine to untie the rope that bound me, and a man's voice came from behind me: "You're okay, are you?" ”
Apparently he had come to my rescue, and I replied, "It's fine!" ”
As soon as my hands were untied, I couldn't wait to take off the strip of cloth in front of me, when suddenly the hands grabbed my hand: "Don't untie it!" ”
I wondered, "For what?" Who are you? ”
The voice hesitated and replied, "My name is Xia Lieyang." ”
I said, "Xie Lu, thank you for saving me, your surname is Xia?" Are you from Wuchun? ”
"Hmmm! I'll take you back, and you must not untie the cloth, for anyone who has seen me will die!" ”
My body shook, and I immediately thought of the legend of the black shadow of the prince's mansion, and I didn't dare to untie the cloth at the moment, so I let him pull me forward.
After walking for a long time, I couldn't help but say, "Xia Lieyang, do you look ugly?" For what people who have seen you will die? ”
"Has no one ever seen you?"
"Xia is the surname of the Wuchun royal family, who are you?"
I asked a barrage of questions and there was no response. The hands holding me let go: "It's here, take care!" After speaking, I heard a rush of departing footsteps.
I hesitated, pulled down the strip of cloth and saw that I had returned to the entrance of the original tunnel, and Xia Lieyang was nowhere to be found.
On the second day, the maid hurriedly came to report: "Last night, Duan Qiaoxiao tried to escape, and was found fainting at the door of the cell, the Queen Mother asked you to come over." ”
I followed the maid to the hall and met the Empress Dowager Wuchun and the Summer Night Star. Empress Dowager Wuchun said: "Last night, Duan Qiaoxiao that slut actually wanted to escape, but fortunately he was caught, otherwise I don't know what else would happen to Lu Dao!" ”
I told the Empress Dowager Wuchun what happened last night, and when she heard that the name of the person who saved me was Xia Lieyang, her body shook: "What did you say? The person who saved you is called Xia Lieyang? ”
