Chapter 43: Yan Hao
The slave saw Huanhuan shouting and shouting, for fear of disturbing the princess in the inner room, and muttered, "What's the use of you calling General He?" I'll come back tomorrow if I have something to do! ”
"Didn't you see the tragic death of the female corpse in the rockery forest? Just let the woman's body be exposed in the wild? Huanhuan was a little annoyed and broke out.
Seeing that she was a little annoyed, Ling'er immediately stepped forward to grab her, signaling her not to be angry, and then added with a trembling voice: "This evening, we saw a corpse in the rockery garden, so we came to ask someone to come over to take a look. ”
When the two servants heard that there was a tragic death of a female corpse, their faces were terrified, and they couldn't help but think of the maid Huang Fu who had disappeared a few days ago. After looking at each other, neither of them could make up their minds.
Seeing the two of them like this, Huanhuan glanced at the upper room with disdain, "I'm not looking for the prince and princess, I just want to find some people to see, find the murderer, and then bury her." ”
"What does Miss Qi have to do with Huang Fu? Let's wait until tomorrow! ”
The two slaves still did not dare to enter the house and call the princess to go, let alone such a terrible scene, if the princess was annoyed, they would not have good fruit to eat.
"It's human life!" Huanhuan finally lost his temper, looked at the two viciously, and stretched out his hand to point at them, "The woman named Huang Fu died in a very miserable state, I don't help her today, I'm upset!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Huanhuan felt the throbbing pain in her heart, and the meridians all over her body seemed to be provoked by someone with needles and threads, and she took a cold breath, wanting to suppress the blood worms in her body.
"Where have all the guards of the palace gone? Can't you smell the smell of corpses? ”
The two servants were already moved, and one of them may have something to do with the maid named Huang Fu, and when he heard the news of her death, there were tears in his eyes, and he lamented: "The palace guards have been sent away by the prince recently, and I don't know what to do. Those who remained in the house were also slaves who did chores and work. The girl should wait until tomorrow to come back, and the morning will be brighter, so that she can find out the truth. ”
Seeing that this person was easy to speak, Huanhuan spoke softer, restrained his temper, gritted his teeth and asked, "Isn't the prince in the mansion?" I don't believe there are no guards! ”
"Sister Qi, you dare to come to the main courtyard of the palace to spread wild, right?"
The princess opened the door, and in front of her were two maids with lights, dressed in a graceful manner.
It is worth mentioning that Gao Yu also deliberately exposed one side of the fragrant shoulder, which was extremely charming.
Huanhuan saw that the princess Gao Yu was coming, and symbolically bent her knees and saluted, "Unexpectedly, it still alarmed the princess." ”
"It's just that the prince is tired and sleeping, can my sister understand the love between men and women?" The princess pretended to show off, not knowing the slightest shame, afraid that Huanhuan would not understand, and added, "The residual heat has not dissipated, let's see who is so bold and doesn't want it to be you." ”
"I didn't have the intention of disturbing the princess and the princess, but I just came to find some people to go to the rockery bamboo forest."
Somehow, the princess looked a little flustered and strange, and Huanhuan looked at her and couldn't help but wonder if it was her doing.
There were many more footsteps behind him, and before Huanhuan could look back, he heard a cold voice with a hint of anger in his tone, which sounded behind him.
"What are you talking nonsense?"
Huanhuan looked back when he heard the sound, and saw Li Zerong wearing a black robe, his hair neatly tied, and a rare sword hanging from his waist. Standing next to him was He Quan, and a team of guards.
Li Zerong glanced at Huanhuan, and when he saw that she was in the main courtyard, he couldn't help but worry about her, and was about to ask someone to send her back. Suddenly, he glanced at Gao Yu, and saw that she was wearing revealing clothes, her appearance was prodigal, her face was dark, and she said angrily: "Is this how Gao Xiang taught his daughter?" Unscrupulous. ”
Princess Gao Yu was still immersed in the embarrassment of the lie being exposed, and she forgot that she was dressed prodigally, and when she heard this, she immediately reached out and pulled her clothes up to cover her snow-white shoulders. Jiao said: "Fang Caiyu'er is still sleeping, the weather is hot, people are also sleeping in a daze, I heard someone shouting outside, I thought something terrible happened, so I didn't care about the image, and hurriedly came out." ”
Huanhuan sneered when she heard this: "I'm afraid that the princess forgot that she was still good with Wang Yeyan, and the residual heat has not dissipated, so she can't sleep." ”
Ling'er followed behind and couldn't help snickering, her expression full of smugness.
Unexpectedly, the princess pretended to be surprised, stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and nose, looked disgusted and extraordinary, and said coquettishly: "Lord Wang~ This sister Qi is so ashamed, why do you say this about me?" It's really scheming. ”
Huanhuan just chuckled, glanced at the princess coldly, and sneered, "Maybe the princess didn't speak, Fang is dreaming, and it's also excellent to be able to daydream this big night." ”
The princess no longer accosted her, but secretly gritted her teeth, and looked at the proud master and servant, and her heart itched, and she wanted to shoot them with a bow and arrow.
Li Zerong listened to the words of the two of them, and roughly knew what was going on, so he didn't ask any more, looked at Huanhuan, and went straight to the topic, "What are you doing here?" ”
The tone was full of reproach and concern, but in Huanhuan's case, it became impatient and disgusted.
Huanhuan lowered his eyes coldly, "It's not like I came to provoke the princess for nothing, why should the prince be like this." ”
Li Zerong heard that the fox's eyes drooped slightly, and he was unhappy, what did he say wrong?
"I came today because I found a very tragic female corpse in the rockery bamboo forest. I just heard that the slave prefect who was keeping vigil had disappeared a few days ago, a maid named Huang Fu. ”
Li Zerong glanced at her distressedly, understood what she meant, and called He Quan, who led a team of people holding torches towards the rockery garden.
Huanhuan also wanted to rush there, but he was grabbed by Li Zerong's wrist, and then he heard Li Zerong's lukewarm voice overhead, "Qixi Festival is coming, settle down." ”
Huanhuan shook him off and sneered: "The prince will stop me from going, but I will be worried that I will hit the bad luck and pass it to you on the Chinese Valentine's Day?" ”
Li Zerong was speechless, "It's not too late, let's go back." ”
Huanhuan saw that he wanted to drive him away, and after looking at the princess with a stiff expression, his previous conjecture became more and more believable.
There are a lot of stories about the killing of maids in the main palace in the book, maybe Li Zerong "fell in love" with the maid named Huang Fu, and was known by the vicious Gao Yu, so he brutally killed her......
Thinking of the horrific corpse he saw today, Huan Huan couldn't help but remind: "I hope that the prince will find the murderer for that poor girl and avenge her for her." ”
"Don't worry, I'll give you an explanation." Li Zerong promised, and there was a rare trace of tenderness in his cold eyes.
"Confess? Miss Qi can't help but think too highly of herself! I'm afraid I've forgotten my identity. When the princess saw Li Zerong looking at Huanhuan like that, she felt uncomfortable, and remembered that she had treated herself like this, so she wanted to embarrass her.
Huan Huan knew that she was targeting herself, and she didn't say anything, she knew how to make Gao Yu miserable. Hearing this, Huanhuan pretended to be aggrieved, leaned towards Li Zerong with a rag, and leaned on Li Zerong weakly on his shoulders on tiptoe, and said shyly: "I am the daughter of Wang Shilang, Wang Huanhuan, the side concubine given by the queen mother to the prince, and during the Qixi Festival, I will marry the prince, and I will continue to have children for the prince in the future." ”
Li Zerong nodded approvingly quietly, and he liked Huanhuan to be so conscious.
Gao Yu snorted coldly and led the slave away without saying hello.
When Huanhuan saw her leaving, he immediately put down his heels and wanted to stay away from Li Zerong.
Unexpectedly, Li Zerong seemed to have known that she would be like this for a long time, and before she could pull her legs away from her, he reached out and clasped her thin waist, and looked at her with a smile, "Slave, what I just said really makes good people look forward to it." ”
Huan Huan blushed embarrassedly and reached out to wrench his hand so that he could let go of her, pressed him hard with his fingers, and pulled him with two fingers in one place, Huan Huan looked up at him, wondering if he didn't feel pain, and the force was a little heavier.
still hugged her.
"What do you mean, Lord Wang?"
Li Zerong teased her, lowered his head close to Huanhuan's earlobe, and said seductively: "I want to be good with you Yan." ”
As soon as these words came out, Huanhuan couldn't help it anymore, and his whole strength was stimulated, and he pushed him away fiercely, "Get away!" ”
After finishing speaking, he took Ling'er and Mo Niang and left with a blushing face, his mind was full of Li Zerong, how could he say such tiger and wolf words? Must have come to disgust her on purpose. The problem was that she found that she seemed to be enjoying herself, and the faint throbbing pain that had just lingered in her chest disappeared as her heart slowed down.
Ling'er looked at Huanhuan who was running quickly in front of her, and couldn't help but call her, "Miss, walk slowly, you can't see the light, what if you fall?" ”
Ling'er was carrying a candle lamp in one hand, with one hand on her waist, panting, looking at Huanhuan who had thrown off her for a distance in front of her, and couldn't help but bury it, "Miss is still afraid of the dark, but the prince is making a play and teasing at will, and Miss can't stand it?" ”
Huanhuan walked in front, everything around him was silent, and Ling'er's words came from behind, making Huanhuan suddenly wake up, stop and stand, thinking.
That's right! It's just Li Zerong's casual teasing, why is he like this?
Seeing that she finally stopped and waited for herself, Ling'er hurriedly trotted again, followed her, and smiled proudly, "Miss Fang is extremely shy, and the spring is infinite." ”
Huanhuan secretly glanced at Ling'er, and said coquettishly: "Spring Infinite is not used like this!" I'm not shy, that's anger! ”
Ling'er smiled and didn't argue, and walked for a while, and there were noisy voices in the forest in the distance.
It's He Quan, they're here.
Huanhuan glanced at Ling'er, glanced at Mo Niang who was following behind him, and sighed softly in a consultative tone, "Why don't we go and see?" ”
Mo Niang didn't say anything, Huan Huan knew that Mo Niang must be indifferent, she wasn't afraid. However, when Ling'er heard that Huanhuan was going to the forest again, her head shook like a rattle, her eyes showed a strong sense of fear, and she stubbornly refused to go.
"Ling'er doesn't want to go and see?
To tell the truth, I didn't see it very clearly, only vaguely remembering that there was a disgusting stench near there, and a large patch of viscous black blood, the woman's eyes were wide open, and the flesh and blood on both sides of her mouth had been cut with sharp objects, revealing a row of yellowed teeth, and the wound did not stop until her ear.
Secondly, the hands were firmly tied with the body, the upper body was covered by clothes, and the lower body was naked, I didn't dare to look at that place, there was roughly a dark red blood scab, and the legs were also covered with scratches and wounds, and the death was extremely miserable. ”
Ling'er covered her ears hard, but she still couldn't hold back the influx of voices, and her attention was gradually attracted by Huanhuan's words, and she no longer covered her ears in a pretending manner, but was curious about Huanhuan's next description.
"Guess why Mo Niang and I stayed there for so long?"
"Why?"
"Not far from the female corpse, there is a line of blood characters, extremely crooked, I haven't understood what it means after looking at it for a long time."
"Did the deceased write it before he died?"
"It doesn't seem to be, there is no blood staining between myself and the corpse, it doesn't look like what the woman wrote before she died."
"That's what the murderer did, so bold that he dared to kill people in the palace." Ling'er said indignantly.
"What is there that her princess Gao Yu doesn't dare?"
"What do you mean by that, Miss?"
"Just go to the forest and find out, this matter must have nothing to do with that femme fatale!" Huanhuan turned his head to look at the cold bamboo forest, took the candle lantern in Ling'er's hand, led the way, and walked towards the forest.
