Chapter 174: A group of snakes out of the nest

Chu Lingxiang grabbed the clothes on her shoulders: "I heard what my father said in person - the imperial grandmother is not an ordinary woman from a family born in Shen Chu at all, but a princess of the Weiyan royal family!" ”

Luo Liyao glanced at her, but there was no surprised expression on her face as Chu Lingxiang expected, and she clearly looked very disbelieving.

Chu Lingxiang's eyes widened: "Really! ”

"Although I don't know very well, but ......" Luo Liyao looked at her eyes that were so clear that they didn't seem to be fake at all, and said bluntly, "Listening to the tone you just said, the 'Lezheng' you said in your mouth should refer to the 'Lezheng' generation of our age." ”

Chu Lingxiang was dumbfounded: "...... How can you react so quickly?! ”

"Soβ€”" Luo Liyao saw her surprised appearance, and knew that the faint conjecture in her heart had come true, and continued, "What you said is true, and my guess is also true. ”

Chu Lingxiang was silent, pondered for a moment, and suddenly got up, and after standing up straight, he lowered his eyes and looked down at her, and said to himself: "No, I know that I can't talk too much to people like you......"

"Ahh It's over......" Thinking of this, Chu Lingxiang suddenly began to grab his hair, and directly grabbed his hair bun that was about to be scattered, and his hair was full of green silk and slid down like that, "If they knew, I would definitely be punished again, and I would be a sinnerβ€”β€”"

"Le Zhengshuang." Luo Liyao's words directly interrupted her self-talk and self-irritability, "Weiyan is the same generation as us, and there is only such a princess. ”

"Don't say it!"

Chu Lingxiang was stunned for a moment, and instantly went directly to cover her mouth, but Luo Liyao subconsciously avoided it.

When she couldn't cover her mouth, Chu Lingxiang directly shouted at her in a low voice: "Don't say it, don't say it, don't say it!" ”

Luo Liyao was silent and showed her a meaningful smile.

"Le Zhengshuang is the youngest daughter of Le Zhengheng, the monarch of Weiyan Kingdom, the Queen Mother, no, the imperial grandmother is Le Zhengheng's half-sister, and she is also the ...... of the previous generation of Weiyan monarchs Illegitimate daughter. Chu Lingxiang looked at her like a good time and a bit of "If you don't tell me, I'll check it myself", she was a little deflated in an instant, leaned against the pavilion pillar and explained, "Her mother made a private agreement with Emperor Weiyan of Weifu on the way to Cangxia City, and had a child, but when she found out, she had been given a family affair by the family. ”

"Since she is already pregnant with a child, she will definitely be checked before she marries." Luo Liyao tilted her head to the side, "And Shen Chu's folk customs are the strictest in terms of women's chastity - I don't think there is any way for her to get by." ”

"Naturally, it was not that he was fooled, but that the man's family deliberately covered it up and suppressed this matter." Chu Lingxiang looked at her sadly

At a glance, "The man's family is far inferior to the woman's family, so in order to be close to the woman's family, she naturally has to suppress this matter - the imperial grandmother also only learned about it when her mother died." ”

"So ......"

"So--the edict left by the first emperor of Weiyan to the monarch of Weiyan also mentioned this matter, and it was at that time that Le Zhengshuang came to Shenchu." Chu Lingxiang raised his hand, directly interrupted her words, and by the way, motioned for her to listen quietly and continue to tell, "Then this matter was known by the father and the queen mother, and then I secretly heard it again...... My queen mother often said that compared to Le Zhengshuang, she is like a princess who was raised in Shenchu since she was a child, but she is so boring, and she acts meticulously and meticulously...... I even suspect that she won't make the slightest mistake, which is just weird. ”

"Maybe that's what people are." Luo Liyao sighed softly, "This is what happened not long ago, right?" ”

"How do you ...... Yes, it wasn't that long ago, just three months before you arrived. Chu Lingxiang wanted to hide it a little, but he blurted out directly, and immediately gave up his resistance, "But I think she is definitely not a good girl - she is a well-behaved princess on the surface, but she ......"

Chu Lingxiang looked around for a while, then leaned closer to her again, and lowered his voice a little more: "I once secretly saw that she always carried a knife with her!" Do you think - the princess is not a female general, and even our Shenchu women can learn some self-defense skills, but Weiyan will never allow women to dance with guns and sticks...... She's a princess with no martial arts, and she even carries a knife with her, isn't there a ghost? ”

Luo Liyao silently touched the dagger in her sleeve, wisely remained silent, and let Chu Lingxiang continue.

"For a while, I even thought that she must have been sent by the Emperor of Weiyan to assassinate my father!" Chu Lingxiang saw that she was silent, and thought that she was surprised by her own words, so she suddenly became more energetic, and said mysteriously, "But I found someone to deliberately test it, and she really doesn't know martial arts." ”

"Then you're the wrong weirdo." When Luo Liyao heard the end, she had no choice but to be helpless, "What if...... So what is the token that is very important to others? ”

β€œ...... Sweetheart? Chu Lingxiang suddenly turned into a gossip face, "I can't imagine that such a boring woman will have a sweetheartβ€”β€”"

Luo Liyao: "......"

She didn't want to have this meaningless conversation with Chu Lingxiang again, so she got up directly and wanted to leave. But before she could say anything, Chu Lingxiang's eyes suddenly widened, and he pounced on her, and pushed her straight and violently: "Be careful!" ”

Luo Liyao's figure is already slender and weightless,

was suddenly pushed by her like this, and directly retreated a short distance and fell to the ground.

At the same time, Chu Lingxiang suddenly exclaimed: "Why are there so many snakes here!" ”

Snake?!

When Luo Liyao heard her exclamation, she subconsciously looked at the place where she had just stood - a small snake with gold and black was spitting out letters at Chu Lingxiang with its teeth and claws, and its body was constantly swaying, as if it was looking for the best angle and the best time to attack her.

Behind it, there are many small and large snakes that are gathering towards it, and most of the snakes are bright and dazzling intertwined colors, and at first glance they are rare and highly venomous snakes.

Luo Liyao's brain was so frightened that even her brain, which had always been spinning extremely fast, went blank in an instant.

Compared with Luo Liyao's fear, Chu Lingxiang was more surprised: "Golden krait, silver krait, nine-section bamboo leaf green...... Oh, my God! Oh, my God! There is still blood rouge in this (1)? ”

Luo Liyao: "......"

At this time, Luo Liyao was already a little stupid by these poisonous snakes, where could she still notice the somewhat surprised, more fanatical look on Chu Lingxiang's face.

"Your Highness!" Ye Luoqing, who had been hiding beside her and secretly protecting Luo Liyao, was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and directly grabbed Luo Liyao, who was already a little stunned when she fell to the ground, and dragged her up and blocked her behind her, "Your Highness!" Calm down, calm down! ”

Seeing that Luo Liyao still didn't react, Ye Luoqing's hand holding her shoulder suddenly made some effort to pinch her: "Your Highness!" Hurry up and calm down! ”

Luo Liyao came back to her senses suddenly, as if she couldn't see those snakes behind Ye Luoqing's back, she finally opened her mouth: "These snakes ......"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Chu Lingxiang stomped her feet excitedly, and directly took out a small sachet from her arms, and raised it towards the pair of golden-ringed snakes with her teeth and claws, and shouted excitedly like a pet, "Come here!" ”

The little snake with the golden ring showed its fangs at her, "hissed" a few snake letters, and then pounced on the small sachet in her hand.

When Luo Liyao saw this scene behind Ye Luoqing, she was so frightened that she almost exploded on the spot, and blurted out: "Princess Xiang! ”

"Your Highness, don't be anxious, you see." Ye Luoqing saw Luo Liyao, who was subconsciously about to break away from the protective circle behind him, grabbed her, frowned slightly, and said, "Princess Lingxiang...... Seems to have enough to tame these snakes. ”

Chu Lingxiang let the little snake with the golden ring wrap around his wrist, and spit out the snake letter to reach the small sachet he was holding in his hand, and the more he couldn't reach it, the more he kept slowly tightening the snake's body.

And Chu Lingxiang was not afraid at all, and even deliberately kept the small sachet in his hand away from his head, teasing and wrapping it around his wrist

The little snake with the golden ring, like teasing a well-behaved and tame cat.

Luo Liyao: "She's ...... and the serpent......"

"Hahahaha....... Don't make a fuss, it's a little itchy. Chu Lingxiang stretched out his other hand, nodded the head of the golden-ringed little snake, looked at the group of snakes behind it, and said happily thoughtfully, "Although I don't know what's wrong with you, but since you come to me, it's mine-"

"Princess Xiang, you won't be ......" Luo Liyao was really a little surprised, and asked with some difficulty, "Do you want to treat them as pets?" ”

"It's not a pet, it's a friend!" Chu Lingxiang raised her hand triumphantly, the little snake with the golden ring licked her little sachet, and was rubbing her wrist with her head affectionately, extremely tame, without the slightest appearance of the teeth and claws just now, "Look - how much it likes me, and them!" ”

Ye Luoqing and Luo Liyao looked at the remaining group of snakes, who were originally following behind the golden ring snakes and waiting for an opportunity to attack, but they directly leaned down and slowly approached Chu Lingxiang, prostrate on the ground very obediently, and even had a little coquettishness, waiting for her to pet them one by one.

"I've never met an animal trainer, and at first I thought it was just a legendary figure, and the present life has long since been lost." Ye Luoqing tilted his head slightly and said softly, "Moreover, most of the animal trainers are beast tamers who can tame fierce beasts such as tigers, elephants, lions and cows, and can tame snakes...... Even in the era of ancient legends, it was extremely rare. ”

Luo Liyao: "......"

Luo Liyao was silent for a while, but stared at Chu Lingxiang who was "playing" with the snakes for a moment, and her mood was very complicated: "I care more about the fact that she can tame the snakes - now it's the cold winter moon, this is the Shenchu Palace, why are there so many snakes all of a sudden?" Snake ...... It should be hibernating! ”

......

(1): The krait snake and the silver krait snake really exist in the real world and are highly venomous snakes, and the "blood rouge" in the text is purely apocryphal, and the setting is also a rare venomous snake.
