First, the storm arises

"Madam, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been waiting outside for a long time."

When Ziruo's voice sounded for the third time, Xiangbao, who was soaked in the hot water, slowly opened his eyes. As soon as she raised her hand, she saw a little red mark on her arm, and she was stunned for a moment, and her skin, which had been soaked in hot water, became more and more red.

She, she, she...... It was ...... like this

Dumbfounded, the maids on both sides stepped forward to wait for a change of clothes, and Xiangbao walked out of the room in a trance.

"Mother!" Seeing Xiangbao come out, Si Xiang's eyes lit up and he stepped forward, "Father is pampered by you, isn't it?" Is it ......?" he asked eagerly.

This stinky kid!

Thinking of his words last night that he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, Xiangbaopi pulled the corners of his lips with a smile, and smiled solemnly: "It's really thanks to Si Xiang." ”

Si Xiang laughed dryly, and found that Xiangbao's expression was wrong, so he hurriedly and cautiously moved two steps back, turned around and ran.

"Dare to slip away!" Xiangbao chased after him.

Si Xiang ran faster than a rabbit in a smoke, and in a blink of an eye, he didn't know where he had gone. Xiangbao chased all the way out of the Drunken Moon Pavilion, and suddenly heard a burst of laughter, and subconsciously stopped.

"Sister Yun Ji, I heard that the king stayed in the Drunken Moon Pavilion last night, right?"

"My sister is really well-informed." Yun Ji responded lukewarmly.

Hearing this, Xiangbao subconsciously hid behind the corridor, looked sideways at where the voice came from, and there were more than a dozen maids and maids hugging a few palace concubines, talking and laughing all the way. One of them is Yun Ji.

"Alas, I heard that the ones sent by Yue Guo are all stunning beauties, so ...... go on like this"

"Hmph, what's the stunning, it's just some captives of the dead country." Yun Ji smiled lightly, full of disdain.

"Sister Yun Ji, you are not afraid...... The king ......"

"Yes, yes, last time the hunting king brought three Yue women with him, especially that Xi Shi, who looks like a demon fox......"

"Have you heard......" The woman suddenly lowered her voice, "Wu Xiangguo has seen Xi Shi's face and said that she is the face of the demon queen of the disaster country......"

A gust of wind blew, sending the low whisper to Xiangbao's ear.

"Ah......" everyone exclaimed, and looked at Yun Ji again, "Sister Yun Ji, Wu Xiangguo is your uncle, have you ever heard of it?" ”

Yun Ji laughed: "Don't worry, with my uncle here, they won't be able to make it." ”

"Yes, Lord Xiangguo is loyal to the king, and with Lord Xiangguo here, he is not afraid of any demons." The woman laughed.

"By the way, I heard that there was another incident last night, a woman named Sicha jumped into the pool of the abandoned garden and committed suicide......"

"Sicha?"

"It's also from the Yue country......

"Hehe, God bless, those demon queens of the Yue Kingdom are dying one by one."

"Yes." Yun Ji raised her sleeves to cover her lips.

Xiangbao, who was hiding behind the corridor, listened quietly, a thin layer of sweat appeared in her palms, and it was not until they gradually walked away that Xiangbao breathed a soft sigh and sat down on the steps beside her with some exhaustion.

Thinking of tea? Xiangbao thought about it for a long time, but felt vaguely familiar.

"Shih Tzu?" A voice rang out coldly.

Xiangbao was startled and hurriedly looked up. A woman was standing in front of her, her face blurred by the reflection of the sun.

"Hua Mei?" Recognizing that it was Hua Mei, Xiangbao brushed the hem of her skirt and stood up.

Hua Mei's eyes were red, and she seemed to have cried.

"Did something happen?" Xiangbao asked her cautiously.

"Sicha is dead." Hua Mei raised his sleeves to wipe his tears, then looked at Xiangbao, and said, "Don't you remember?" Come with us to Sicha, our sister Sicha......"

Xiangbao bit her lip, those Yue women who entered Wu with her, except for the Hua Mei who was very good to her, and Zheng Dan of Ramie Mountain, the other women had always been blurry in her eyes, and she couldn't even remember their names, but now, ...... One died.

"I'm sorry, I forgot that you had amnesia......" Seeing Xiangbao biting her lip, Hua Mei hurriedly hugged her and cried.

Xiangbao lowered her eyes, her heart was full of apologies, there was no amnesia, she had never had amnesia, but for her...... They were all so vague, they were all unimportant beings, so she never cared. But Sicha, how could he die? Is it because it is overwhelmed? On the shoulders of those women, they all pressed the expectations of the Yue people, and they were all victims of the restoration of the Yue country.

"There's no way she's going to kill herself...... How could she kill herself...... Hua Mei hugged Xiangbao and muttered, "She loves to laugh so much, and she talked to me about her sister at home yesterday, how could she just ......" She choked.

Xiangbao raised her hand to caress her back, but a chill gradually accumulated in her eyes.

Those concubines Wu, they smiled and said, God bless, those Yue Kingdom demon concubines died one by one.

Yun Ji said, yes.

Nothing is a coincidence.

"Cry here, what is it like." A cold voice came.

Xiangbao turned his head sideways, it was Zheng Dan.

She was dressed in plain clothes, extremely beautiful, and her eyes were slightly red. She was followed by several women, all of whom were Yue women that Xiangbao had seen, and they all looked like they had all cried.

"Don't cry here, Sicha is too lonely alone, let's give her a ride." Zheng Dan said, walking straight into the corridor.

Hua Mei took Xiangbao's hand and followed.

When they walked into a somewhat dilapidated garden, Xiangbao was slightly surprised, here...... It turned out to be the garden where she and Si Xiang had come. Just as Xiangbao first stepped into this place, everyone was surprised that the dilapidated garden, which seemed to be in disrepair, was full of flowers.

At a glance, Xiangbao saw a small figure sitting by the pool. Sure enough, he hid here.

"Bold, who allowed you in?" Seeing so many people breaking into the garden, Si Xiang jumped up like a little tiger who had been occupied by someone, and said angrily.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Zheng Dan was a little surprised.

"Get out! All out! Si Xiang shouted, and when he was thundering, he saw Xiangbao standing behind Hua Mei. Slightly stunned, after a while, he whispered: "Mother......"

Zheng Dan looked at Xiangbao with a stunned expression, and Hua Mei and the others were also very surprised. Xiangbao sighed and beckoned to Si Xiang. Si Xiang hesitated, looking a little scared.

"Come here, I'm not angry." Xiangbao sighed.

Si Xiang obediently walked up to her and next to her: "They...... Is it for the woman named Sicha who came here? ”

"Hmm." Xiangbao took his little hand and responded gently.

Some people couldn't stop sobbing and began to sob, and their voices were mournful and unbearable.

"Autumn Painting...... Don't be like this, let Sicha go with peace of mind......" Grabbed a woman who couldn't help crying bitterly, Hua Mei persuaded with red eyes.

Feeling Si Xiang's hand trembling slightly, Xiangbao looked down at him, he was biting his lip and staring at the water: "It's her...... It's her ......."

Xiangbao crouched down and hugged him.

Zheng Danjing walked to the edge of the pool and looked at the calm and waveless water steadily: "I saw Sicha when it was fished up, probably after being soaked in water overnight, her whole body was swollen, and she couldn't blink her eyes." ”

"Don't talk about it." Linglong covered her mouth and choked up.

"However, it is impossible for her to commit suicide, let alone throw herself into the water." Zheng Dan said suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Hua Mei was shocked.

"In short, be careful." Zheng Dan tilted his head and said lightly, "Maybe Sicha's today is our tomorrow." ”

Everyone was silent, and the feeling of the rabbit and the fox's sadness made it difficult for them to even cry. Sicha's body was fished out early in the morning, and there was not even a funeral, but it was hastily rolled up and thrown out of the palace. The woman who entered Wu with them died like this, and they could only quietly give her a ride.

When I came out of the garden, it was already dark. Si Xiang's spirit was not very good, and after Xiangbao sent him back to his dormitory, he slowly walked all the way back to the Drunken Moon Pavilion.

As soon as Xiangbao stepped into the Drunken Moon Pavilion, he saw that his husband was sitting in the corridor drinking, the moon was like water, and the man under the moon was clear and beautiful.

"Madame seems to be in good spirits......" he stood, leaning half-leaning against the pillars, and his voice was creepy soft.

Isn't he waiting for her?

"It seems ......," he threw down the flask, walked over to Xiangbao, and reached out to pull her into his arms, "It seems that the widow should take a good look at himself." He leaned into her ear and whispered to hers.

Looking down at the pair of slender hands clasped behind him, Xiangbao understood what he was referring to, and blushed slightly, without squeaking.

The husband stretched out his hand to pull Xiangbao's face, but when he saw the darkness in her eyes with no end in sight, he paused slightly. After a while, his eyebrows tightened slightly: "What's wrong?" ”

"Sicha, dead."

"Sicha?" The husband was at a loss.

Xiangbao knew that, as expected, the husband didn't remember which person Sicha was. It's no wonder that even she doesn't remember clearly, let alone this king. Just pity Sicha, who died in vain and silently.

On the seventh day after Sicha's death, Xiangbao fell asleep at noon, and in a daze, he was dragged up.

"Shih Tzu! Shih Tzu! Go and save people! It was Hua Mei's voice, very anxious.

Xiangbao immediately came to his senses: "What happened?" ”

"Aki E collided with Lady Yun Ji and was about to be killed!" Hua Mei was so anxious that she stomped her feet, "The king spoils you so much, you may be able to save it if you go." ”

"Where?"

"It's in the garden where Sicha died."

Xiangbao didn't say a word, pulled Hua Mei and rushed out of the Drunken Moon Pavilion. As soon as I arrived at the gate of the abandoned garden, I saw Qiu Hui being beaten by several powerful palace women.

"Stop!" Xiangbao shouted, full of anger.

"Mrs. Shih Tzu?" Yun Ji raised her eyes and glanced at Xiangbao, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Seeing that those palace ladies didn't stop, and Qiu Hui was already dying, Xiangbao was anxious and rushed forward to try to push away those fierce women: "Let go of her!" ”

Yun Ji smiled lightly, and those sticks seemed to have eyes and beckoned to Xiangbao, who couldn't dodge for a while, and was hit on the back with a stick, which hurt his heart. Seeing another stick smashed at Xiangbao, Hua Mei hurriedly went to pull Xiangbao, but it was still too late. The sticks landed on Xiangbao's forehead, and the red blood slowly slid down her hairline, and the blood mist blinded her eyes, but the sticks still did not stop.

"Stop!" A sharp voice sounded, it was Si Xiang.

Yun Ji finally got the opportunity to kill Xiangbao, where is she willing to stop. She made a look, and the palace maid got a secret order, and smashed Xiangbao with another stick.

"Mother!" Si Xiang screamed miserably.

A slender hand intercepted the fatal blow from mid-air, and the other slammed into the wrist with such force that the wooden stick was broken. The palace maid looked up in amazement, and after seeing who it was, her fierce expression disappeared in an instant, leaving only fear.

Xiangbao looked sideways, and then ran straight to Qiuhui, who was lying on the ground covered in blood: "Qiuhui, Qiuhui......"

"The King spares ......"

The palace ladies fell to their knees, trembling.

The broken wooden rod slashed Fucha's wrist, and strings of blood dripped down.

Yun Ji originally thought that only Si Xiang was coming, but she didn't expect that her husband would come over, but when she saw that her husband was injured, she also got up without a master for a while, and hurriedly knelt down: "The concubine should die." ”

"Damn it." Fucha raised his hand and gently licked the blood oozing from his wrist, and said lightly.

When Yun Ji heard this, she was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt forward and grabbed the hem of her husband's robe: "The king Ming Cha, the concubine will be punished a little because she saw Yue Ren Qiu painting sneaking in the garden of his sister's wife...... Yun Ji moved out of the deceased sister's wife, and said.

"King Mingjian, Qiu Hui just wants to worship her dead sister, so she will offend her sister-in-law." Hua Mei hurriedly knelt down.

"Dead sisters?" Fucha raised his eyebrows.

"Her name is Sicha." Xiangbao suddenly spoke.

Thinking of tea? Fucha suddenly remembered Xiangbao's trance that night, so it was.

"Qiu Hui ......" Hua Mei looked at the pool of blood under Qiu Hui, raised his hand to cover his lips, and tears slowly flowed from his wide eyes.

"Dead." Xiangbao turned his head to look at her, as if crying and laughing, and the blood stain on his forehead was shocking.

Fucha frowned.

"She was beaten to death." Xiangbao grinned, and the blood beads on his forehead slid to the corners of his eyes, like bloody tears. She slowly stood up, staggered two steps, and fell to the ground.

"Mother!" Si Xiang shouted.

The husband took a step forward and hugged Xiangbao.

The palace ladies lay on the ground and kept kowtowing, but the husband didn't speak, none of them dared to stop, they only kowtowed one by one and broke their heads and bleed. Yun Ji was anxious, and when she saw that her husband was about to stride away with Xiangbao in her arms, she hurriedly knelt down and climbed forward to hold the hem of her husband's robe: "King, they ......"

"Drag it down and kill it." Dropping a sentence lightly, the husband strode away with Xiangbao in his arms.

Xiangbao's injury was not serious, but because of his weak body, he recuperated on the couch for two days. Hua Mei came to see her every day because of guilt, and also told Xiangbao that King Wu ordered Sicha and Qiu Hui to be buried.

"Thick burial ......" Xiangbao tugged at the corners of her lips, "Is this their best destination?" ”

Hua Mei bit her lip and was silent.

Life like a flower, the last ...... I only got a thick burial.

In a trance, Xiangbao walked into an abandoned garden, the garden was filled with fog, and the sound of the piano suddenly sounded in his ears, leisurely in his ears. I was listening to it, but I heard the sound of the piano flickering, and the sound of gold and stone was in my ears, like ten thousand horses galloping. Suddenly, there was a sad sound, as if the strings were broken, and Xiangbao saw a woman in a gorgeous costume playing the piano by the pool, who was similar to Si Xiang, could it be ...... Is it Mrs. Sister-in-law? The woman in the gorgeous dress looked at the broken string of the piano in a daze, and suddenly abandoned the piano and jumped into the pool.

"Don't!" Xiangbao exclaimed and hurriedly went to pull her. When Xiangbao rushed to the edge of the pool, a swollen woman suddenly floated on the surface of the pool, not the previous woman in Chinese clothes, but a little familiar, it was Sicha!

Sicha floated quietly on the water, like a rootless duckweed, and Xiangbao watched in horror as she slowly opened her swollen eyes that were blistered by the water, and she was crying.

She's crying......

The fog gradually thickened, and there was a scream behind her, Xiangbao hurriedly turned around, and saw a bloody person crawling towards her, it was Qiu Hui, her face was covered with blood, and she was crying.

She said, "Help me, save me......"

Xiangbao ran to help her, but Qiu Hui suddenly disappeared, and only a white-bearded old man stood in place, glaring angrily, and scolded: "You are a curse!" ”

Countless hands stretched out from the mist, and those miserable white hands tightly bound her, making her unable to move.

Outside the door, the maid who was keeping vigil was drowsy, and suddenly saw a man in a yellow robe walking in front of her, and immediately woke up: "The king......"

"Madame slept?"

"Yes."

Fucha waved his hand and walked into the room.

Xiangbao was curled up on the couch, his eyes closed, his face pale, and he was struggling slightly, as if he was bound by an invisible rope.

The husband frowned slightly, stepped forward and sat down on the edge of the couch, reached out and touched her forehead, and stroked the cold sweat on his hand.

"Wake up, wake up." He pushed her.

The woman in the dream shook her head, tears slipped from the corners of her closed eyes: "No...... No...... I'm not Shih Tzu, why force me, I'm not Shih Tzu......"

"Sister, sister, don't go ......"

"Sister...... I was wrong, I was wrong...... I'll listen to you, and you'll come back, okay...... Sister ......"

Intermittently, in her dreams, she was crying and pleading.

Xiangbao stood in a fog, unable to see her fingers, unable to see the way out, she felt that her body was getting smaller and smaller, smaller and smaller, in a trance, as if returning to her mother's arms, so warm......

Mother's blood soaked her clothes......

The mother said: "Xiangbao is obedient, don't make a sound." ”

Xiangbao was obedient and silent.

She was little, hiding in her mother's arms, smelling the smell of blood, and biting her lip.

Silent, silent......

The husband reached out and picked her up, feeling the small body in his arms cold, so thin, as if it would shatter at the touch. She clenched her teeth and trembled desperately, but she never said a word, just quietly shed tears......

"Xiangbao, Xiangbao......" Far away, someone called softly, with such a warm voice.

Who's calling her?

"Don't be afraid, it's a dream." The slightly cool lips were imprinted on the center of her eyebrows, and someone whispered in her ear, "It's just a dream, just open your eyes." ”

It's just that...... Dream? Open your eyes, is it okay? It's that simple...... Can you get rid of it? Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and Xiangbao slowly opened her eyes and looked into a pair of deep eyes.

Husband...... Husband is poor?

Xiangbao trembled and wanted to push him away, but the arm around her seemed gentle, but he couldn't push him away.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a dream." He tightened his arms so that she pressed against his chest, his chin resting on top of her head.

Xiangbao snuggled in his arms, listening to his heartbeat, and felt relieved.

"When widows were young, they often dreamed." There was silence for a long time, and just when Xiangbao thought he wouldn't speak, he suddenly said again, "Nightmare." ”

Xiangbao was slightly stunned, he ...... Also have nightmares? His slightly cool lips pressed against her eyes, and Xiangbao stared blankly at the enlarged face.

"Close your eyes." He whispered in her ear.

As if bewitched, Xiangbao obediently closed her eyes. His lips lingered on hers, and there was a little smile in his long narrow eyes, and he was extremely gentle, for fear of waking up the confused woman in his arms. Lips and teeth leaned together, his tongue poked into her mouth, Xiangbao's brain boomed, only to feel that her cheeks were like fire, and she didn't realize that the clothes had been picked open by those slender hands.

He hugged her and lay down slowly, trapping her underneath, her satin-like black hair lining her skin like snow, her cheeks red, and her eyes hazy. The darkness in his eyes deepened little by little, and he leaned over to kiss her, but his big slender hand stroked the creamy skin all the way, causing her to tremble slightly. The soft body turned into a puddle of spring water under his hands, Xiangbao was very afraid of this feeling, but she couldn't escape, in memory, there was a man who bit her ear and said: "You are mine, even if it hurts, you are not allowed to escape......"

"Don't!" Widening in horror, Xiangbao pushed him.

"Huh?" He snorted nonchalantly.

"It hurts!" Xiangbao held his hand, scared.

He was stunned, chuckled, leaned to her neck, bit her ear, and murmured in a very seductive voice: "This time, not anymore." ”

As soon as his ears burned, Xiangbao involuntarily groaned, and his body twisted slightly. There was no end in sight in the dark eyes, he gasped and covered her body, Xiangbao felt the foreign body pierce into her body, and her eyes widened in disbelief: "You, you, you......"

"Huh? What's wrong with me? He followed her tone, gasping and muttering.

"Ah...... You don't say hello either! She screamed.

He looked at her in astonishment, and his dark eyes were full of smiles little by little: "You are really a treasure......

Xiangbao twisted in dissatisfaction.

"Well, don't move...... he frowned, his wheezing getting thicker.

Xiangbao held her breath, her body was crispy and numb, and she twisted again as if demonstrating. He gasped and burst out laughing. Xiangbao began to regret it, turned around and used his hands and feet together, intending to escape, but the premeditated plan was not successful, so he hugged her tightly, so that she could not go anywhere.

"You brought it upon yourself...... he laughed and bit her ear.

"Ah......h

Lying on the couch in frustration, Xiangbao hated it so much that her teeth itched, and she was ...... again. And ......

She couldn't figure it out, how could she just talk about nightmares...... This guy who took advantage of people's danger......

A slender arm crossed her shoulder, bringing her into a ** chest, and Xiangbao blushed and shook her head angrily.

"What's wrong?" He gently picked her chin, a slouched smile in his long, narrow eyes.

Xiangbao bit her lip and said nothing, her eyes were full of anger, and that anger made her eyes look bright and dazzling.

"Is Madame dissatisfied?" He asked solemnly.

"That's nature!" Xiangbao nodded, it was rare for him to be self-aware.

"The widow will work harder next time." He smiled softly.

Xiangbao was stunned, and then ...... His face was on fire. She covered her cheeks with her hands and screamed, "Ah......hhhhh

He raised his hand to cover her lips: "Madame, be quiet, or ...... Those people outside will think that the widow is doing something again. ”

Xiangbao immediately lost his arrogance and pushed his hand away in frustration. After being silent for a long time, seeing that his old god was there, and he had no intention of leaving, Xiangbao couldn't help but push him: "You should go." ”

"Huh?"

"Aren't you a king? The king is so idle? Be careful......" Xiangbao slammed his mouth.

"Be careful of what?" Fucha looked at Xiangbao with blazing eyes, and at this time, he seemed to have changed back to the Fucha who killed people with a smile at the foot of Fujiao Mountain that day.

Xiangbao bit his lip, turned his heart sideways, and suddenly had an urge to tell everything, to tell everything, whether he was alive or dead, imprisoned or released.

"I'm not actually a Western ......"

Before the words were finished, the slightly cool lips suddenly blocked her mouth, and Xiangbao struggled to push him away, but in vain. Xiangbao felt that he was about to suffocate, but he still didn't mean to let her go.

"The widow doesn't care who you are, you just need to stay by the widow's side." As if he was reluctant to leave her lips, he licked his lips gently, as if his face was still unfinished.

"Even if ...... Even if I'm a scourge of water? Wheezing, Xiangbao glared at him.

"The widow of the country, it shouldn't be a problem to raise you with a disaster." He smiled, a look of arrogance.

Xiangbao froze, he knew everything? From the beginning...... Just know?

"You are you, what does it matter if you are name." The husband pinched her cheek and smiled.

Lowering his head, Xiangbao was silent.

"Do you want to go to worship Sicha and Autumn Painting?" In my ear, a voice whispered.

Xiangbao hurriedly raised his head with a look of anticipation: "Is it okay?" ”

"The widow said, yes." He laughed.

Xiangbao looked at him stunned for a long time, slowly lowered his head, and suddenly raised his head quickly, his soft lips touched his slightly cool lips, and lowered his head again.

A hint of astonishment flashed in his dark eyes, and he gently raised his hand to touch his lips.

She didn't do anything, it wasn't even a kiss, but ...... He heard something start jumping in his heart.
